Chapter 293 Defender Terminator

After getting off to a good start, the Timberwolves rested for a day and went on to beat the Bucks, who lost to them twice in the preseason, at Target Center.Facing Jennings, who was at a disadvantage in height and weight, Xu Hao did not give any preferential treatment to the youngest man with a score of 55 at all. Destroy opponents.

结果整场比赛詹宁斯15次出手仅命中4球，在三分线外更是非常悲剧地6投0中，只得到14分和5次助攻。而他在防守端完全无法限制徐浩，被后者砍下25分、8个篮板和10次助攻的准三双，外加全场最高的4次抢断，森林狼也轻松获得了胜利。

The Timberwolves are not the only team in the West that has won two consecutive victories, but their two consecutive victories are even more incredible in comparison. After all, other teams that maintain a winning streak are the Lakers and Mavericks.Experts have also expressed on various occasions that they are optimistic that the Timberwolves can go further this season, regardless of whether this seemingly nonsense prediction will come true.

Of course, this is the urination of most so-called experts. They just need to make irresponsible guesses and I’m fine. The aura of the expert can be restored.If you can't stop the people talking, they can also use "basketball is round" to explain.

However, the main players of the Timberwolves are not rookies who have just played in the NBA, and they have always maintained a skeptical attitude towards the credibility of these news.Two straight victories is nothing to brag about for them, it's serious to prepare quietly for the next game, and everyone knows that as soon as they start losing, the overwhelming media will say otherwise.

After two consecutive home games, the Timberwolves will go to their first away game of the season. Fortunately, the distance is not far away. The opponent is the Memphis Grizzlies, which is also a team in the West. It is just the difference between the Southwest Division and the Northwest Division. .

Although the team's long-term core Gasol was sent to the Lakers before, the Grizzlies actually didn't suffer much. Gasol, who was added to the deal, gradually showed strength not inferior to his brother.Coupled with the young guard Conley who once led the team to the NCAA Finals with Oden, the strength of the Grizzlies team should not be underestimated.

Speaking of which, the Grizzlies have accumulated a lot of talent. Needless to say, Gasol Jr. and Conley, the two cores of the inside and the outside, Gay and Mayo are two recognized geniuses in the starting lineup. Randolph at the number position looks very fat, but he has already proved his strength.In addition, Vasquez and Tony Allen are also sitting on the bench as a backup backcourt combination. One of them is the number one star in Venezuela, and the other has won the championship with the team. They are both good.

On the night before going to Memphis, Xu Hao tried to play against the Grizzlies in the system. He had to admit that the team's defense was in place. Whether it was a starter or a substitute, it seemed that there was a defense in his body. blood.Although they didn't hoard too many muscular men on the inside, the continuous high-intensity oppressive defense on the outside is indispensable. Xu Hao is not particularly afraid of this, but he feels very irritable, but any guard will have this Feel.

Think about it, when you are dribbling the ball on the outside, one or two or even three rough guys with strong body odor rush up to make close contact with you, and try to cut you off in various ways. Do you feel very broken with the ball in your hand?Xu Hao didn't reject physical confrontation, but such confrontation still made him frown.

Although the Timberwolves defeated their opponents in the simulated game, it was only a narrow victory, which means that there is not much difference in strength between the two sides. It is hard to say who will win and who will lose in the official game. It depends on the performance of the players on both sides.

When McHale led the team to Memphis, he immediately received a good news for them: the Grizzlies' main shooting guard Mayo missed the game due to personal reasons.At present, Mayo is an important scorer for the Grizzlies. His absence is a heavy blow to the Grizzlies. Of course, this may also make it easier for the Timberwolves.

Grizzlies head coach Hollins is also troubled by the absence of Mayo. The 2008 No. 18 pick can average about [-] points per game in the first two seasons, and he can also cause damage with the ball. The importance in the tactical system is not inferior to Conley to some extent.But Mayo did have family affairs this time, and he had to rush back. For this reason, he asked his agent to buy a red-eye flight ticket. Hollins was not unreasonable, so he let him leave.

The key question is who will fill the pit of Mayo's absence.The Grizzlies don't have many players at the second position, and no one can make up for Mayo's nearly 20-point hole. After much deliberation, Hollins can only let Allen top the starting position.

Tony Allen, a simple-looking but actually very iron-blooded defender.Since he was selected by the Celtics in 2004, he has spent six seasons in Boston, during which he also won a championship ring with the team.There, Allen developed a strong defensive technique, and even Kobe had suffered from him. Although he never made a big show that he was a member of Kobe's Terminator, many people praised him very much. fierce defense.

Mayo is indeed a good player in scoring, and he is also the second choice for the Grizzlies to launch an offense, but in terms of defensive skills alone, he is not worthy of giving Allen a shoe.In many cases, Mayo used his physical fitness and reaction ability to defend, which reflected a lot of fluctuations on the field, but such a situation would never happen to Allen.

During the virtual game, Xu Hao encountered Allen's close defense. He had to admit that this guy does have two brushes, and there may be less than one defender in the league who can take advantage of him.So when he heard about Mayo's truce, he was not as optimistic as others, but he was full of guard against the upcoming game.

Everyone knows that with his knees, after Mayo's absence, the Grizzlies' number one substitute Allen at the second position must be the first substitute for Mayo. With the Timberwolves' backcourt configuration, Allen will obviously be used to defend Xu Hao. It is also his usual instruction manual.In contrast, Xu Hao would rather defend Mayo than face this abnormality when he is attacking with the ball.

Yes, Xu Hao insists that Tony Allen is a pervert, he is the real defender terminator!
