Chapter 860 Mutual supervision, mutual mockery and mutual motivation

In the opening game of the regular season, the Timberwolves' opponent is the Kings.

The current Kings are no longer the powerful Western Conference team that can fight the OK Lakers in a bloody seven-game series.

Webber, Peja, Divac, Bibby and others either left or retired, and they began to rebuild.

It couldn't be better to open against a team with aspirations for the No. [-] pick.

Bai Jidong was sitting in the locker room, the private doctor hired with a lot of money was putting a thick bandage on his back.

"It's too messy, your back is not ready for the competition at all." The doctor muttered while working.

Bai Jidong smiled wryly, violating the doctor's orders would definitely be yelled at, "The body is mine, and it will be ready when I play."

Before the championship flag raising ceremony, Bai Weidong appeared on the field.

"Tonight, a new chapter in the history of the Timberwolves will begin!"

The host shouted passionately.

This is a pre-prepared commentary, but every sentence has entered people's hearts.

Four titles, this one is the most special.

Seeing the fourth championship flag hoisted over the arena in the Target Center, Bai Weidong's thoughts had already flown to other places.

Then there was the ring presentation ceremony. Stern greeted Bai Jidong cordially with a fake smile on his face as usual.

"Hopefully next year at this time, I can still present you with a ring." Stern smiled broadly.

Bai Jidong smiled wryly: "I hope so."

"If you say it, it must be fine." Stern is very confident in Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong didn't want to increase his pressure for no reason, so he took over the ring, this is his seventh ring.

"Hey..." Bai Jidong couldn't hold back his laughter, "From today onwards, I have one more ring than that old rascal."

Players from both sides are ready to go. The Timberwolves' starting five for the new season are Zhao Li, Bai Jidong, Vashabek, Yi Jianlian, and Medved.

The starter of the three Chinese?

"The Timberwolves may be the first and possibly the only team in the history of the NBA to have three Chinese players," said CCTV commentator Yu Jia.

Yu Jia's partner is Zhang Lili. Although the old man is old, he loves work and is still fighting on the front line of commentary.

"The highlight of this game is Zhao Li. The Timberwolves traded last season's starting guard in order to get him. This has attracted a lot of doubts. I hope Xiao Zhao will use his strength to break through the doubts." Zhang Reasonable said.

"I believe Xiao Zhao has this strength."

The two acted like they were singing an oboe, and this duo-like commentary style is also a characteristic of domestic commentators.

With the arrival of Zhao Li, the Timberwolves finally have a pure point guard, and the starting position has been slightly adjusted.

When Ukic was there before, Vashabek and Bai Jidong stood in the second and third positions in turn, because Ukic has a net height of 196 cm.

Zhao Li is only 191 centimeters tall with bare feet, which is considered tall among point guards, but he does not have the outstanding height advantage of Ukic.

Therefore, Bai Jidong played the second position to cooperate with Zhao Li, and Vashabek played the third position.

Yi Jianlian Medved remained unchanged, and the Timberwolves made their new debut.

"Hello, it's the first game of the new season. I hope we can spend a pleasant night together." Bai Jidong's smile was like spring breeze turning into rain.

If the king's rookie Jason Thompson hadn't heard something about the white wolf, he might really have regarded him as a harmless senior.

"Jason, stay away from him," John "Salmon" Salmons said.

Thompson treats Bai Jidong like a god.

Anyone who has watched the finals of last season will regard Bai Jidong as a god, and only a god can bring such a performance.

"Come on, I'll take the ball down for you!" Medved yelled at Zhao Li.

Zhao Li nodded, ready to catch the ball.

Medved's opponent is Spencer Hawes, last year's No. [-] pick.

When the referee threw the ball up, Medved's explosive power surprised Hawes at once.Before Hawes was ready, the ball was shot off in front of him.

Zhao Li moved forward with the ball, and the king's starting point guard, Benno Udry, wanted to teach him a lesson, and he played a brutal and aggressive defense as soon as he came up.

"One by one, it's as if I'm easy to bully..." Zhao Li was fed up with this kind of defense, quickly changed direction and passed Udri, and accelerated forward.

"Zhao Li's speed is so fast!"

"That's how it should be, these people don't care about beating and eating." Bai Jidong secretly said.

When he first entered the league, he was also considered to be poor in confrontation (although it is a fact). Confrontation is indeed very important, but it doesn't mean that he can't do anything if he is poor in confrontation.

Like a sharp sword piercing the enemy's heart, Zhao Li suddenly launched an attack, and the king's entire defense line was broken.

The Kings, a team that doesn't look at victory or defeat, and only focuses on picking the No. [-] pick, does not have a mature defensive system. Once the outer defense line is broken, the entire defense line will collapse.

Zhao Li quickly rushed to the basket and sent the ball out.

At the free throw line, Bai Weidong catches and shoots the ball.

"Wonderful breakthrough and scoring, Zhao Li got the first assist in his career."

"The ball was played reasonably, and that's how it should be played."

This is one of the biggest advantages in Zhao Li's scouting report - he has mature one-on-one escape skills and can create opportunities alone in the highest-level confrontation environment.

"Okay, defend!" Bai Jidong yelled: "The first defensive round of this season, don't allow them to score!"

Bai Jidong's opponent is Salmons, a defender who is two meters tall.

"John, I know a lot of Johns, and you have the coolest name." Bai Jidong said against Salmons' butt.

Salmons is a jack-of-all-trades player who can attack well and defend well, and can do everything, but there is nothing particularly outstanding.

"If I were you, I wouldn't leave this position easily." Salmons ignored Bai Jidong's every trash talk.

Bai Jidong doesn't like to play games with such dull gourds: "Can you say something? Don't act like a dumb person, don't you want to talk to me?"

Salmons was so annoyed by Bai Jidong, "I don't like talking to people who talk too much."

Long-winded... This kid actually called me long-winded!

Bai Jidong's resentment increased greatly, and he decided to show Salmons a little color, so that the boy would not know how much he was.

I'm long-winded, but this sentence is not something you can say, Understand?
Salmons was blocked by Bai Jidong and had no chance to catch the ball, so Udrih had to find someone else.

"You African monkey jumping around, don't play tricks on me here!" Hawes thought that Medved was only physically fit, so he looked down on him.

Medved laughed: "We are all monkeys!"

Hawes doesn't want to talk to him about what it is to be human, running out high to catch the ball and then about to shoot it.

"How dare you make such a shot?" Medved walked like a shooting star, and ran to Hawes with a big cap.

"Counterattack!"

Bai Jidong picked up the ball and pushed the whole team to counterattack. The speed was not fast, but his teammates kept up.

Especially Medved, like a moth to a flame, without hesitation, ran out of the feeling of a track and field athlete's [-]-meter sprint.

Bai Jidong is not greedy for merit, seeing that Medved has the best chance, he passes the ball to him casually.

"Don't let him charge up, it's a dunk!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

Medved lived up to expectations, rushed to the basket and dunked with both hands.

"I always feel that he is playing more freely." Bai Jidong secretly said.

Zhao Li smiled and said, "As expected of being the Summer League MVP."

"Haha, don't praise me, I'll get carried away." Medved smiled until his face burst into bloom.

"Isn't it just a slam dunk?" Vashabek looked down on him anyway.

It is undeniable that Medved has completed amazing evolution through the offseason of these months, and the extent to which he has evolved now remains to be tested in the game.

While the audience was cheering for Medved's performance, Udri Rabbitskin scored the ball to Kevin Martin, who made a three-eight shot.

"Son of Stank, your defense is not good. Didn't you say that you practiced hard in the summer? Could it be that you practiced hard on the bed?" Medved was also merciless.

Zhao Li was at a loss, what happened to these two people?

"Take care of yourself!" Vashabek's expression was like black iron and ice.

Medved was as enthusiastic as Jiuyang Tianhuo: "We are teammates and should care about each other."

"Uncle Wolf, don't you want to persuade me?"

"Do you think I don't want to interfere? I really can't control it. Today I persuade you to quarrel tomorrow, and now I persuade you to quarrel later. I can't persuade you at all. Anyway, tonight is just a regular season, so let them quarrel."

Even Bai Jidong was annoyed by the persuasion, which shows how much these two people like to quarrel.

After all, Zhao Li was new here, so he couldn't accept such abusive words between his teammates for a while.

"Brother Lian, don't you want to persuade him?" Zhao Li looked at Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian's face already looked like a donkey's, but when he pouted his mouth, he looked even more like a donkey: "I won't persuade you, but I can't persuade you."

"Then I'll do it." Zhao Li was like a little white sweet, hoping that his teammates would be harmonious.

"Well, stop arguing, we should fight against each other now." Zhao Li said. "We are a family…"

Vashabek said, "Who is his family?"

"I swear to Stank!" Medved yelled.

The king's attack was more effective than Zhao Li's words. In order to defend, the two temporarily ceased fighting.

"I'm ugly to say that whoever lets the opponent score first will have to treat the whole team to dinner." Medved said.

Vashabek snorted: "What is your salary enough for?
"Do you think I will be scored by them?" Medved's defense suddenly enveloped Hawes.

Hawes felt enveloped by a cloud of shadows and couldn't help himself.

Vashabek has only one problem defending Martin -- how to avoid annoying screens?
As long as he can get around the cover, Martin is not afraid.

"Their defense is so good. If they can cooperate sincerely, they will explode with greater power." Zhao Li said.

Bai Jidong smiled wryly, Zhao Li didn't know that the power of the two bickering with each other was the greatest.

These two people have a wonderful connection, and they promote each other because they don't like each other.

This is an incredible law of mutual supervision, mutual ridicule, and mutual motivation.
