Chapter 699

The Timberwolves lost three of their first eight games this season. In the past three seasons, when they lost three games, they won an average of 25 games.

Losing three of them in just eight games now is really a bad trend.

"The sequelae of Garnett's departure gradually emerged. The Timberwolves are not used to not having Garnett sitting at the basket. If there is no defensive gate, their defense against the invincible players in the league will not be so impeccable."

"I can't see the slightest fighting spirit from White Wolf. It seems that his mind has been corrupted by the honor he has achieved."

"Without KG, the Timberwolves have withdrawn from the championship. If the White Wolves continue to maintain the status quo, then the Timberwolves will be just an ordinary playoff team."

Watching Bian's voices come and go, Bai Jidong has long been used to isolating these meaningless voices, and he concentrates on his own affairs.

"Son of the Long Deer, what the hell are you doing?" Vashabek and Medved were playing a five-five match. Medved made repeated mistakes, which annoyed Vashabek.

"Bo Nu, be patient with newcomers. Don't forget, you came here in the same way. No one can jump in." Bai Jidong is the referee of this match.

If Medved was not from Strow or his compatriots, Vashabek would definitely not care about him.

The two of them are the only Strolls in the NBA. He does not allow Medved to make such low-level mistakes that make people want to eat.

"Son of Stank, didn't you make no mistake in the first place?" If it was someone else,

Medved accepts criticism without saying a word, but Vashabek...

The tone of the two men was getting more and more aggressive, and there was a tendency to hold a Stroll boxing match in the St. Olaf Center.

Medved doesn't want to do it, and he doesn't know how to do it. He just thinks that Vashabek is too harsh on him, and Vashabek is not his coach. Why should he ask him so?

Solomon said, "Bourne, if you fucking make this kind of beginner's mistake again, stop playing, and practice basic skills with me."

To Vashabek, Medved was the son of the long stag, and in front of Solomon, he instantly became the shame of the long stag.

"Yes!"

Although he only answered this one, everyone heard firmness, seriousness, and even a little fear from his tone.

In this match, Vashabek's side lost the game due to lack of offensive ability. Medved was rated as the best player in the game by Casey.

Vashabek was the first to dissatisfy: "He made at least ten mistakes!"

"Bonu, his defense is enough to offset his mistakes. You lose because your offensive firepower is not strong enough." Casey laughed.

"Hahaha, let me just say, I must be the MOP of this game!" (Most Outstanding Player)

Medved laughed.

A day later, the Timberwolves faced the Clippers at home.

As soon as the first quarter came up, Bai Weidong felt hot, hit the first two goals for the Timberwolves, and scored 8 points in the first quarter, but his teammates didn't feel good.

The Clippers are all soldiers. At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers lead the Timberwolves by 27 points 20 to 7.

The state of the two teams declined and mistakes continued. The Timberwolves took the opportunity to narrow the gap. After halftime, the Jazz overtook the score 45 to 42.

The two sides switched sides and fought again. The Timberwolves played a 7-0 attack wave, opening the point difference to 9 points, and the Clippers were stopped.

After the timeout, the Clippers' offense did not improve much, and the Timberwolves gradually widened the score gap.

After three quarters, the Timberwolves entered the fourth quarter with a huge lead of 75 to 56.

In the final decisive battle, the Clippers hit three consecutive three-pointers from the outside, narrowing the point difference to 10 points, but the Timberwolves stabilized the situation after the timeout and opened the score again.

In the end, the Timberwolves beat the Clippers 102-84 at home.

Bai Jidong scored 34 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. Surprisingly, except for blocks, all other statistics were the highest in the game.

"Are you surprised by your performance?" the reporter asked.

"No, I'm proud of my performance." Bai Jidong replied.

Tonight, Bai Jidong played a rare game vigorously, watching the Clippers being beaten to pieces by him, he felt that it was no fun.

In the locker room, everyone was celebrating his return, and everyone hoped that this would be Bai Jidong's revived game.

Bai Jidong returned to the locker room, he didn't seem to be in any mood, he high-fived his teammates, then packed up his things and left.

If the leader conveys negative emotions, the whole team will become negative.

"He is tired, everyone should go back to rest early." This is Hardaway's role as a veteran.

The next day, the Timberwolves started their three-way trip. They will visit the top three in Texas one after another. This is undoubtedly a nightmare trip.

You know, the Mavericks, Rockets and Spurs are all playoff teams, and each team has at least two star players. It is really bad luck to play them in the current state of the Timberwolves.

In the first game against the Rockets, Bai Jidong insisted on getting back to the field. During the game, he used the shooting ability of Joe Smith, Yi Jianlian and Simien many times to pick and roll outside.

Yao Yueban's mobility was limited, so even if he knew what the Timberwolves were planning, he couldn't defend against it.

Paul realized that the situation was dangerous and wanted to turn the tide, but Bai Jidong focused on marking him and locked him up.

In the whole game, Paul only scored 10 points and 9 assists, which was far below his average level.

Bai Jidong's score is not high, but he played a terrifying super triple-double of 20 points, 10 rebounds and 20 assists.

"There are only two players in history who have won a double-20 triple-double. After tonight, this list will join the White Wolf!"

"White Wolf proved one thing. As long as he is willing, he is still No.1 in the league. Today he almost single-handedly blocked CP3 and Yao Yueban."

Not to mention that Paul was banned, Yao Yueban was not banned strictly speaking, it was Smith and others who took turns to fight him down.

Bai Jidong took advantage of Yao Yue's weakness of half-defense and made a fuss, constantly playing pick-and-rolls.

With this trick, Smith, Yi Jianlian, and Himien all scored in double figures in this game.

The night of Bai Jidong's record was also the night of the rocket's fiasco.

That night, the Rockets lost the game by 30 points.

"Bye, you got 20 assists tonight, how did you do it?" the reporter asked.

"Nothing special, I just passed some balls and our big man made the ball, it was as simple as that."

In fact, Bai Jidong didn't do much tonight, he just seized Yao Yueban's weakness and continued to target him. It's really lucky to hit this stat.

"Did this game help boost the team's confidence?"

"Of course, this is the first away game. We still have two away games to play. I hope that the next game will be as smooth as tonight."

That night, the Timberwolves arrived in San Antonio overnight.

Everyone agrees on one thing, the Spurs were the strongest opponent the Timberwolves faced in the playoffs last season.

Therefore, the regular season between the Timberwolves and the Spurs is also the focus of attention.

Since the 2004-2005 season.The Timberwolves won more games than they lost against the Spurs, and even won a few matchups in the playoffs.

The Timberwolves have become a thorn in the side of the western teams, and any team that wants to enter the finals must pass them first.

Throughout the playoffs in the past three years, the Timberwolves can be described as the Spurs' sufferer.

In the past three years, they have met twice in the playoffs, and the Spurs have lost all of them.

This season, the Timberwolves lost Garnett and their combat power has declined severely.This is an opportunity for the rest of the West, each of which is scrambling to inflict a wound on the Timberwolves.

This is especially true for the Spurs. Not long ago, when the two sides played against each other for the first time, Duncan showed his might and blasted the Timberwolves in the center of the target.

At the end of that game, Duncan smiled at Bai Jidong, that creepy and evil smile made Bai Jidong have nightmares for several days.

Tonight's rematch, Bai Jidong doesn't want to lose again, as long as he thinks of Duncan's weird smile after winning, Bai Jidong feels uncomfortable all over.

"What? Are you so motivated tonight?" Hardaway saw Bai Jidong stretching his muscles in the locker room.

"In order not to hear TD's "Song of Good", in order not to be double-killed by the Spurs, and in order to sleep soundly tonight, I am full of energy now!" Bai Jidong gritted his teeth.

As long as Bai Jidong maintains this high fighting spirit, Hardaway has nothing to worry about.

Now that the season has started for almost a month, only very few games can he see this murderous aura of wanting to eat his opponents alive.

"It's still the same sentence, we rely on you." Hardaway said.

Bai Jidong jumped a few times to let his body heat up quickly, and then ran out of the locker room with Hardaway. In the player tunnel, the players gathered together.

Bai Jidong stood in the middle and spoke, "Even if we lose tonight, we can challenge the Spurs again this season, but I don't want to wait until then. After all, it is not a pleasant thing to say that the home and away games are double-killed." .”

"We haven't been doubled home and away by another team since November 2004 and I'm sure you guys are as ready to tear San Antonio apart as I am!"

"Yes!"

Bai Weidong's words before the game were extremely provocative. His teammates who had no sense at first became passionate after being hit by these few words, wishing to rush into the ATT center to smash the silver and black army.

"Come on, you nasty fellows! You wolves of Apolis!"

"Boss, I feel very good today." Vashabek said.

"I hope your feeling can be reflected in your touch, and I will pass the ball to you more." Bai Jidong said.

After entering the ATT center, Bai Jidong heard ear-piercing boos and Duncan's bad smile.

"White Wolf, I welcome you on behalf of San Antonio." Duncan wanted to be friendly.

Bai Jidong snorted, "Come on, I'm not here for friendship, wait for me to take the victory at your home court, and then welcome me."

"Then I can only disappoint you and return. After all, the visitor is a guest, so greet him warmly. This is the rule of the Virgin Islands."

Duncan didn't show weakness either.
