Chapter 310 Silver Black Legion
Difficult to reach the playoffs has boosted the morale of the Timberwolves team, but they are not arrogant enough to think that they can create a black eight miracle. Their opponents in the first round this year look even more difficult than last year's Lakers.The Spurs under Popovich have always been a rock among the top teams, and the GDP combination is a headache for any team's head coach.This season, the Spurs have won 61 wins and 21 losses, second only to the Bulls' 62 wins, showing their extremely powerful strength.

In addition to Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, the Spurs also have a lot of powerful players. Among the starters is Richard Jefferson, who was called the Nets troika along with Kidd and Carter. The inside line got tougher.Moreover, there are Neal, McDyess, Bonner, George Hill, Splitter and other players sitting on their benches. It can be said that the Spurs' 61 wins are definitely not pure luck. The favorite to win this season.

McHale doesn't have much confidence in his heart. In fact, playing against the Spurs is also a difficult test for him.I have to say that his luck is not very good. Although he was an epic power forward as a player, McHale is still a rookie in the coaching position. However, he has met top coaches in the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. He himself was speechless.

But it can't blame him, it can only blame the Timberwolves for not getting a higher ranking.In the past few years, as long as the coach who can lead the team to the top of the East and West has two brushes, it's just that Zen Master and Popovich are the best of them.

Facing the silver and black army with a large number of generals, McHale did not fulfill the ambition of the Black Eight miracle. It is a victory for the Timberwolves if they can push their opponents to the tiebreaker like last season. After all, they still cannot compare with the old strong teams. .

But I think so in my heart, on the surface, I still have to prepare for the playoffs.There is no limit to Xu Hao's playing time. His outstanding performance in the final few games indicates that he has regained his form. Get up, it's not a big problem to win a game or two.

Xu Hao felt very excited. The Spurs' starting point guard, Parker, was not comparable to those previous opponents. The small sports car was a well-deserved core player of the French men's basketball team, and he also had the bonus of the finals MVP.The 29-year-old Parker is in the golden period of his career. This season, he averaged 17.5 points and 6.6 assists per game, leading the Spurs in both scoring and assists.Although the data does not look eye-catching, no one can ignore his existence.

Of course, Love and Jordan on the inside are also under tremendous pressure.Although Splitter's statistics are mediocre, he is also a very important figure in the Brazilian men's basketball team. What's more, the Spurs have Duncan in charge. This is a future Hall of Famer and one of the greatest power forwards in NBA history. The decline in the data is obvious, but the effect is equally huge.

It can be said that the still young Timberwolves basically can't take advantage of any position. The only thing they can say is age. Young means inexperienced, but it also means abundant physical strength and stronger impact.As the saying goes, beat the master to death with random punches, maybe the Timberwolves can make some tricks with a random punch.

After all the regular seasons are over, the rankings of each team will be completely determined.The top eight teams in the East and West will continue to fight for victory, and the other teams that are blocked from the playoffs can disband and go back to fishing.

The Timberwolves' first game was April 4, but McHale took them to San Antonio in the southwestern United States four days before the start of the game, preparing for the playoffs against the Spurs.Compared with Minnesota, which is warm and cold, San Antonio's climate is much better, but everyone still needs to get used to it, and it's normal to come a few days in advance.

Compared with the Timberwolves, the Spurs' enthusiasm is not bad. They did not underestimate the eighth Timberwolves just because they are the No. [-] in the Western Conference.Popovich is famous for his wit and tricks, and his attitude towards the game is also very cautious. Besides, the Timberwolves showed good combat power in the closing stage. The old man is also afraid that the team will be nailed by accident. The pillar of shame.

The Spurs generals were not surprised by the coach's attitude, but faithfully followed the old man's instructions.I have to say that Popovich is still very good at managing the team. The Spurs have a good team atmosphere and strong execution. This is the fundamental reason why they have been standing in the league for a long time. The spirit of the team inheritance.

In the past few days, Xu Hao had to fight the Spurs in the system every night, but the more he was beaten, the more helpless he became.Even if he can suppress Parker in terms of personal data, there will always be someone else in the veteran Spurs who can stand up and lead the team to move forward.What's more, the Timberwolves can only be regarded as Gemini stars when they are full of games. They are led by the solid Big Three.

Even so, Xu Hao was still not discouraged. The victory or defeat in the simulated game was just a manifestation of the strength gap between the two sides, but basketball is not a strong team that will always crush a weak team, otherwise those teams with average strength will not be able to mix.In the history of the NBA, there are many classic cases of the weak defeating the strong, and there are not a few cases where the strong team capsizes in the gutter, so although the overall strength of the Spurs is obviously higher than that of the Timberwolves, Xu Hao is full of desire to fight and can make the strong team look ashamed It's actually not bad.

At this time, it reflects the benefits of the team's focus on young people.Facing a strong opponent, only these young players will be enthusiastic. No matter how awesome you are, just go up and do it without any fear of the game.Several veterans in the team were also infected, and they performed very hard during training. During the rotation, the team still had to use them to support the scene.

McHale is very satisfied with the morale of the team, which also increased his confidence a lot.If before, he only wanted to avoid being shaved by the opponent, then now he has greater ambitions, and it is no longer an unattainable fantasy for him to delay the tiebreaker.Even in the deepest part of his heart, McHale is still hiding a bit of luck, what if the Timberwolves can perform a black eight miracle?In this way, the team is enough to attract big names during the offseason and further improve its strength.

Of course, these are all up to the team management to consider. The players have only one idea in their hearts, and that is to give the opponent a little color at the AT&T Center, the home of the Spurs.In their hearts, the team ranked eighth this season is only due to Xu Hao's injury. If they have not been troubled by serious injuries throughout the season, how could they be only No.8?Think about it from this perspective, the gap with the Spurs is not as big as imagined...
