Chapter 771 Incarnate as a Scoring Machine
In addition to Russell's deal, the current leader of the Nets, Beast, also played for the Timberwolves for two seasons.Sanders, the general manager of the Timberwolves at the time, couldn't figure out how the Beast would grow to be as powerful as it is today.
After the Beast left, the Timberwolves have only entered the playoffs once, and they were killed by Yu Yuyong in the first round, without any suspense.Of course, compared to the Kings who have not made the playoffs for n years, they are at least not the worst.But not retaining the current basketball god Beast is indeed the biggest regret of this team, not one of them.
Russell seemed to be under a lot of pressure.He played with Towns for a maximum salary last season, and he left the Nets.Who would have thought that after one more season, this team would actually kill Yu Yuyong and win the first championship in team history!
The Timberwolves who got him had a poor record and did not make the playoffs in the end.
Watching the generals of the Nets receive the championship ring, Russell would be lying if he said he was not envious. He was very envious, but what can he do?
Seeing Wiggins, who was trading with him, grinning so happily, made him feel very uncomfortable.This kind of mood is very similar to buying the wrong stock. Watching other people's daily limit, while the stock I bought has been falling, the mentality is easy to explode.
The game was broadcast live on Tencent, and the host Wang Zixing and guest Su Qun were responsible for the commentary.
Wang Zixing is an absolute "beast honey". When he saw the beast get the championship ring, he was so excited that he was about to take off, and his whole body was filled with happiness.
"Mr. Su, Beast has won his fifth championship ring!" Wang Zixing said excitedly.
Su Qun adjusted his glasses. He was getting older and calmed down a lot: "Yes, if you count this one, it will be the fifth one."
"Mr. Su, do you think the beast can become the Lord of the Rings?" Wang Zixing asked excitedly.
Su Qun replied seriously: "It's hard to say. The current NBA competition is too fierce. No matter how strong you are, basketball is a sport for five people. And there are too many unpredictable things like injuries. But I still firmly believe that the Nets are still the biggest favorites to win the championship this season, Shou Ye is too strong, no matter how the opponent changes, they are the number one favorite!"
The starting lineups of the two sides are announced. The starting lineup of the Nets at home is: center - Jarrett Allen, power forward - Beast, small forward - Andrew Wiggins, shooting guard - Rodrigue Bubber Watts, point guard -- Jrue Holiday.
The Beast will still be the main power forward in the new season. Allen has grown a lot last season. He has proved that he can be a very good center in this small ball era.
The starting lineup of the Timberwolves in the away game is: center - Karl-Anthony Towns, power forward - Robert Covington, small forward - Treveon Graham, shooting guard - D'Angelo Russell, point guard -- Jeff Teague.
The Timberwolves are a "big four small" lineup that is very popular in the league. This lineup is very suitable for offense, and Towns is an excellent 3-point center, so their offensive space is very large.
From the perspective of strength on paper, the Timberwolves are certainly not the opponents of the Nets, but anything can happen in the NBA. In this league, nothing is impossible.
Allen and Towns prepare the jump ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
The jump ball started, Towns beat Allen with the jump ball, and the Timberwolves won the first wave of offensive ball.
Teague dribbled the ball across half court and organized the offense at the top of the arc.
Teague has been going downhill since leaving the Eagles.He is 31 years old, and his shooting shortcomings make him a bit out of place in today's league.
Teague passes the ball to Russell.
Facing Holiday's defense, Russell used Downs' cover to return the ball to the latter!
Towns faced Aaron, and after three threats, he directly chose to shoot 3 points-but missed!
The beast closed the board, and pushed him directly from the backcourt!
Covington went over to steal the ball and was hit directly by the beast and almost fell down!
The beast went all the way unimpeded, directly hitting the Timberwolves penalty area, raising fire with one hand, and dunking the ball hard into the basket!
Wow--
The Nets' first goal of the season came from the beast's one-armed dunk!
The atmosphere in the Barclays Center was instantly lifted. The Beast is really exciting. He knows what you want, and he will give you what you want.
The Timberwolves attacked, and Covington missed a 3-pointer!
Allen closed the board and Holiday dribbled over.
Holiday gave the ball to the Beast!
The Beast faces Covington with the ball!
The pincer came over immediately, and the beast gave the ball to Wiggins who was open!
Wiggins missed the middle distance!But the beast grabbed the offensive rebound!
The beast was so strong that Downs flew out directly...
"Beep beep—" The referee gave the beast an offensive foul!
Beast laughed. Whether he was laughing at himself for moving too much or Downs being too soft, only he knew.
The Timberwolves attacked, and Don Stuart Allen made a layup with his left hand! 2:2, the two sides draw!
The Nets attack, the Beast and Beaubois pick and roll, go down!
Beaubois distributes the ball to the beast running down!
The beast leaned down on Covington, and the opponent's attack came immediately!He took advantage of the opportunity to pull the ball with one crotch!
Covington lost his center of gravity directly, fell over, and collided with Treveon Graham who came to help defend!
The Beast made a quick stop jump shot—and hit it steadily!
4:2, Beast has a very strong desire to attack at the beginning, which is obviously different from the style of the almighty king last season.
There was a lot of laughter at the scene, the shaking of the beast just now was so handsome, and the other party's embarrassed appearance made people couldn't help laughing.
Wang Zixing said with a smile: "Who would have thought that the beast played a crotch ball, and Covington lost his balance!"
The Timberwolves attacked, and Towns was blocked by the beast suddenly under the basket!
The Timberwolves' out-of-bounds free throw here was directly cut off by Holiday!
Holiday steals the ball and counterattacks!
The beast followed up in the middle, received a second pass from Holiday, went straight to the basket, pulled the ball past Covington, took three steps, and succeeded in a one-armed dunk!
6:2, the beast scored 6 points in a row, and the desire to attack was extremely strong!
The Timberwolves' offense is still very good. With the help of a screen, Russell hit a 3-point shot and narrowed the point difference to 1 point!
Holiday dribbled the ball and gave it to Wiggins!
Wiggins bursts out of Bowa!
Beaubois casts a fake pass and assigns it to the low beast!
The Beast caught the ball and turned Covington directly, ignoring Downs, and forced a jump, causing the latter to foul!
But the beast, relying on its excellent ability to stay in the air and core strength, forcibly scored the ball!
8:5, the Beast scored 8 points in a row, and the offensive state was hot!
The Beast went to the free throw line, but the dramatic thing was that he missed it!
But he made up for it, grabbed an offensive rebound, and forced a foul on Covington!
Beast didn't miss again this time, and made two free throws steadily, scoring his 10th point in this section!
10:5, the Beast scored 10 points in a row, like a scoring machine!
