The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

“Their main defense is very strong, but we are not weak either. Our defense will not be weaker than theirs. Their defense will consume our physical strength very quickly.

We have to continue to set the pace and we will overtake the lead.”

Mark Jackson told the Warriors during a timeout that in his opinion, although the Timberwolves' starting defense is strong, such defense consumes physical energy.

Therefore, as long as the Warriors hold on to the score, they will have a chance to overtake.

And he is not optimistic about the Timberwolves' substitutes. Except for Bledsoe, the rest are either newcomers or veterans, and they cannot keep up with the intensity of the Timberwolves' starting lineup.

But he never expected that the Timberwolves would put on three substitutes directly after the first timeout.

Bledsoe, Draymond Green and Tony Wroten all appeared.

This made Mark Jackson a little unexpected. He didn't expect Xu Xiao to make substitutions so quickly, and he also substituted three substitutes at once.

I never expected to replace an unknown defender like Tony Wroten.

But Mark Jackson is also a famous NBA coach and responded quickly.

"They interrupted their own defensive rhythm. We just need to keep it. Don't worry about the defender and continue to pick and roll."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger.

"You heard that, Tony, he doesn't think highly of you, and the next moment will make him stunned."

Xu Xiao chuckled, and Tony Roten, who came on stage, was already gearing up.

On the first possession of the game, Bledsoe gave the ball to Tony Wroten.

He knew how powerful Luo Teng had become after training with Xu Xiao.

I saw Roten holding the ball on the left side facing Danny Green. He suddenly started and took a long stride to shake the defensive hero Danny Green away.

After the disguise, Roten used his body to squeeze in, facing Griffin's defense and easily picking the ball into the basket.

Then with the help of the screen again, a huge European step passed Danny Green cleanly, and he easily scored the ball again.

"Oh my god, isn't this Ginobili's signature move?"

Both the commentary box and the audience were stunned by Luo Teng's two goals. Is this okay?

But Roten seemed unsatisfied and continued his performance on the court.

After a beautiful behind-the-back dribble, he flicked his hand directly to Oden in the paint. The latter also exploded on the spot and made a powerful dunk.

Once again, the audience cheered.

Mark Jackson couldn't sit still anymore and called a halt.

"It doesn't matter, this is just temporary. We just don't know him well. Next we have to focus on him."

Mark Jackson's words made Danny Green, who has a background in defense, a little worried, but it's hard to say anything now, after all, those few balls just now were passed by Luo Ten.

After the timeout, the Warriors' defense really became more intense, and they even brought on the famous "evil guy" Matt Barnes to target Wroten.

However, Luo Teng didn't show any fear. He squeezed through the gap and hit again with a "snake layup".

This time, the entire audience couldn't sit still and stood up to cheer.

Originally, Minnesota fans were still very worried about the Timberwolves' prospects, especially the second position.

After all, two powerful players were left at the second position, both the main player and the substitute, but the emergence of Luo Teng once again gave Minnesotans hope.

"Let's just say that Boss Xu's vision is not bad. Luo Teng just lacked opportunities last year. The opportunity came this year. Look at this level."

"That is to say, DeRozan is moving well. If he hadn't left, then Luo Teng might not be able to play."

Even commentators from across the ocean praised:

"Not to mention, the departure of DeRozan and Jr. Smith is really a blessing in disguise for the Timberwolves."

"Yeah, we didn't know Luo Teng was so good." Another commentator agreed.

But espn has a different view

"I have to admire Xu Xiao's training ability. It's simply terrifying. He can train a star anytime and anywhere."

"Oh, Kenny, if I remember correctly, you looked down on Xu Xiao very much at the beginning."

"Hey, Charles, I want to apologize for my ignorance now. We all know what level Roten was last season. A player who can't even understand garbage time can now face the Warriors. This year's championship is powerful. His performance among the contenders is inseparable from Xu Xiao’s cultivation.”

"Yes, I heard that Xu Xiao gave Luo Teng special training after Jr. was traded away. Now it seems that the effect is obvious. I want to give it a try."

"You? Boss Xu shouldn't accept people with negative IQs, right? Look at Xu Xiao's transformation of Luo Teng. Last season's Luo Teng gave people the feeling of being brainless. Even during garbage time, he couldn't see anything. Spirituality.”

"Yeah, this game feels like enlightenment, playing very spiritually, wait a minute, who are you talking about having no brains, Charles?"

During the conversation between the two, Roten once again completed a difficult layup, this time facing Howard. He not only scored by flickering in the air, but also caused Howard to foul.

Then there was another very bold baseline cross pass, and Bledsoe received the ball and hit a three-pointer.

Under the leadership of Roten, the Timberwolves quickly opened up the score. At halftime, the Timberwolves easily led the Warriors by 61 points with a score of 47-14.

In the second half, the Timberwolves' offensive continued unabated and soon extended the score to 20 points.

As soon as he came on the court in the fourth quarter, Roten stole Paul and completed a one-handed dunk on the fast break, completely losing suspense to the game.

A good lesson for the Warriors who are poised to compete for the championship.

The Timberwolves finally beat the Warriors 121 to 91, a -point difference, and got off to a good start.

After this game, no one dared to doubt the strength of the Timberwolves.

And Tony Roten also came into everyone's field of vision. Due to this game, Roten's performance was too outstanding, not only scoring 19 points and 6 assists.

Those ghostly breakthroughs and coquettish passes make it difficult not to think of an old friend, Manu Ginobili.

So much so that many people regard him as the next Ginobili.

In addition, more and more people are praising Xu Xiao, some praising his cultivation ability and some praising his vision.

Wherever there is praise, there will be sunspots.

For example, someone will jump out and say:

"It's just a game. It's just that the Warriors didn't pay attention to him and didn't get targeted."

As soon as this statement came out, there were a lot of people on the Internet who echoed it.

"Yeah, who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?"

"If you win a game well, it's like winning the championship. I'm not saying that, within five games, your true colors will be revealed."

"Hey, man, why don't you bet on something to eat?"

"Man, listen to me, you must have seen DeRozan and Jr. last season. You don't really think that this newcomer can replace DeRozan and Jr."

"That is, without DeRozan, Jr. and Gibson's Timberwolves have basically come to an end. Tony Roten can't make any waves at all."

At this time, the corners of Xu Xiao's mouth were slightly raised.

Who told you there was only one Tony Rotten?
