Minneapolis, Target Center, and Timberwolves have lost three consecutive times before, but the team has grown hugely this season and there are stars to watch, so despite the recent poor performance, the attendance rate of the team is still very gratifying.

Before the game started, the audience seats were almost halfway there. At this time, Mark Jackson, who broadcasts today's game, said: "The Timberwolves have lost three consecutive times. Now it is definitely a big challenge to let them encounter the Spurs."

Bernard, who was partnering with Mark Jackson to comment on today's game, said: "Yes! The Timberwolves' performance before the All-Stars was quite good. But their performance after the All-Stars was very poor, especially in terms of defense. In the three games after the All-Stars, their defensive level was in the last three in the league."

"If the Timberwolves were still in the previous three games today, I couldn't imagine what they would be beaten by the old Spurs?"

While Mark Jackson and Bernard were talking here, Wang Kai and his group of Timberwolves players were also holding onto the player channel.

At this time, Wang Kai was in the player channel and shouting loudly at his teammates: "Defeat them! Dismantle their old bones, we must give them some good-looking things. We are the toughest team, fight hard with them! Dismantle the bones of these old things."

Amid Wang Kai's roar, the Timberwolves players also yelled together: "Disassemble their old bones!"

Today, the Timberwolves are preparing to fight against each other at home. Neither Wang Kai nor the team's management can stand the failure anymore.

At the same time, the Spurs, who never gave up victory, were also well prepared, but these old guys were also calmly waiting for victory.

Both teams appeared, and the roster was also released. The Timberwolves had point guard Sebastian, shooting guard Wang Kai, small forward Gomez, power forward Jefferson, center McGee.

The Spurs' lineup is point guard Parker, shooting guard Roger Mason, small forward Jefferson, power forward Mike Dance, and center Duncan.

The Spurs have been recessioning for a long time, but no matter how they decline, they are the top teams in the West, and they have never really recessed. Their record will always be among the best group in the West.

This is very magical, but it is also an inevitable result. Because Duncan did not leave, as long as Duncan did not leave the team, the Spurs would have a pillar in the inside, and the defense and rebounds in the inside were guaranteed, and Duncan could still pull out and support him. With Parker and the increasingly aging Ginobili, the team's basic shelf would not collapse.

The team's basic shelf does not collapse, and they can just add some side dishes and **Vic's iron fist to manage the army, so the team can still achieve good results.

The Spurs are still in the same situation now, and the people are still those people. The cornerstone of the team is Duncan. The outside team cooperates with Parker and Ginobili. However, the side dishes have changed slightly. The Spurs surprisingly introduced Jefferson this season. Jefferson's playing characteristics are incompatible with the Spurs. In addition to GDP, the Spurs have always been a professional, but Jefferson is a guerrilla all-rounder, which is very different from the Spurs' selection of specialized talents.

Now that the season is halfway through, the facts have proved that Jefferson and the Spurs are not adapted to the local conditions. Jefferson has no performance when he was at the Spurs and has not brought his talent when he was in the Nets to the Spurs. He did not bring the athletic talent and mobility they urgently needed. Jefferson has become a useless person in the Spurs' lineup.

The Spurs have failed to choose the first side dish this season, but the second side dish is quite successful. After arriving at the Spurs, McDest has helped Duncan a lot. McDest's strong defense and stable mid-range shots are two very practical home-cooked dishes for the Spurs.

As for Roger Mason, there is nothing to say. The Spurs have always equipped a player who can defend and shoot three-pointers at the No. 2 position.

The basic style of the Spurs this season has not changed significantly, and the team's strength is still there, but this is also the Spurs' last season's position-based style. From this season, the Spurs will transform into the old and fast, fast and mature style we see now. Regarding the fast Spurs we see now, in fact, the old man tried this lineup in 2005. At that time, the Suns' bombardment was at its peak and attacked the world's number one, but there was a regular season game, and **Vic asked the Spurs to play the current fast break, and the result was a game. The Suns, who ran and beat the world's number one, had never run, and the Spurs played the Suns with a big score.

It can be seen that the Spurs would have played fast running and bombing long ago, and they also played very well. However, in the early days, they didn't need to win the championship with half-court positions early, and they played running and bombing to coax these kids when they were old.

This season is the last season of the Spurs playing half-court position, and it is also a relatively weak season for the Spurs. However, even in such a season, the Spurs are also a well-deserved strong team in the league.

But the Timberwolves were like the rising sun, a rising star, new and old, and they met in different postures at the center of the target.

At the opening game, Old Duncan could not jump over McGee, the beast. McGee clicked the basketball over, and the Timberwolves started attacking first.

Sebastian came to control the ball, and the Timberwolves first set up an open formation, putting both Jefferson and McGee in high positions. As soon as Sebastian came over, Wang Kai immediately ran in front of Jefferson and used Jefferson's cover to penetrate the basket.

At this time, Jefferson went up to catch the ball and got the basketball. When he looked back, Wang Kai had basically controlled Mason, who was responsible for defending him. Jefferson immediately passed the ball and the basketball came to Wang Kai's hands.

He sat up with all his strength in two steps. Roger Mason was too old and could not hold on. Wang Kai sat in one step. At this moment when McDace came to assist in defense, Wang Kai jumped up and threw a high throw.

McDace didn't jump much, and Wang Kai got up and threw the ball high, and he had no choice but to watch Wang Kai's throw ball landing in his own basket.

Today, the Timberwolves played Wang Kai at the beginning and played at the low post at the beginning, showing a tough attitude all at once.

Just when Wang Kai succeeded, Mark Jackson, who was commenting on the game, immediately said: "The Timberwolves' tactics today are very different from those before. The Timberwolves must have made adjustments after losing streaks."

For an old man like Mark Jackson, he would be very sensitive to any changes on the court.

After the Timberwolves scored, the Spurs immediately kicked off the backcourt, but the Spurs' running and landing were completely different from the Timberwolves.

Parker took the ball and deliberately slowed down the speed, allowing Duncan and McDace to run quickly and directly inserted into the bottom line to press the low post. The Timberwolves pulled it apart, but the Spurs went straight to the basket. From the running position and the standing position, it was obvious that the tactical difference between the two teams was seen.

Parker did not take the ball himself and passed the ball to Roger Mason who pulled it out first, and quickly ran without the ball along the sideline and bottom line. During this process, McDyce and Duncan helped Parker to cover it at the bottom line with high quality.

But when he turned out to the other side, Jefferson's cover quality was much worse, and Parker did not run out of the empty space.

In this way, Roger Mason could only pass the ball to Jefferson who was receiving the ball. Jefferson took the ball but did not attack by himself. Instead, he turned around and passed the basketball to Parker. Parker got the basketball and quickly broke through the middle, attracting the Timberwolves' defense to pass the ball to Roger Mason on one side. Mason passed the ball at the bottom line, and McDace missed the shot.

The Spurs played very complicatedly in the first round, very patient, and had the style of the Spurs.

Although I failed, the basketball started to work, which is extremely difficult for many teams to do.

Moreover, from the offense of this round, we can clearly see that the Spurs' core operation has been transferred from Duncan to Parker.

The tactics have been preparing for Parker's catch since the beginning, and Jefferson's first reaction to get the ball was to do pick-and-roll for Parker instead of anything, which shows that Parker has firmly ranked first in the Spurs system.

The Spurs' offensive missed this time, although the Spurs' offensive details were not done properly, among which the Timberwolves' tenacious defense also brought huge trouble to the Spurs. Especially the Timberwolves' assisted defense speed, the Timberwolves did this very well.

The Spurs missed the shot, and after the Timberwolves protected the backcourt rebound, they immediately passed the basketball to Sebastian.

Sebastian ran over with the ball, and two three-pointers Wang Kai and Gomez immediately pulled the space away at 45 degrees on both sides. Then Jefferson and McGee made several vertical cross covers near the penalty area on the right.

McGee pulled out to the high position, Jefferson stuck to the low position, and Sebastian passed the ball to Wang Kai again. Wang Kai passed the basketball to Jefferson from 45 degrees, asking Jefferson to fight McDace.

Jefferson's low-post kung fu is not bad, and the league is also awesome, but when McDyce was young, he was better at low-post kung fu than Jefferson. He understood the routine of low-post offense and would also defend low-posts. What's more important is that McDyce is a veteran old ginger. His willpower, ball merchandising, and toughness are incomparable to Jefferson.

Jefferson came up and forced a step, and then got up to attack, and was immediately squeezed by McDace so that there was no place left.

Without a position, Jefferson's shot lost his sight and hit the rebound immediately, and Jefferson's inside offense failed.

The Timberwolves are prepared on the defensive end, and the Spurs are also prepared. Jefferson's home-cooked Timberwolves can't be eaten on the Spurs.

Jefferson missed the shot, Duncan immediately got up and grabbed the rebound, and passed it quickly. The basketball passed, Parker took the ball and drove the ball into the ball, but at this time the Timberwolves' defense bit the Spurs tightly.

The Spurs' fast break could not be played at all. At this time, the players who followed the Spurs immediately stood on the four corners of the court with great ease, completely pulling out the space. Parker was allowed to fight Sebastian alone on the left.

Parker himself is a assaulter. When he breaks through with the ball, the Timberwolves' inside line will come out to assist in defense immediately.

Parker was blocked outside at once. Parker couldn't break through and could only turn around and pass the basketball to Duncan who had just run over.

Duncan took the ball and shot directly from the middle distance at a high position, but he also missed the shot.

Two minutes into the game today, the two teams played well. The Spurs encountered the Timberwolves' tenacious defense and it was basically difficult to take advantage of it, while the Timberwolves wanted to easily chew the Spurs' old bones, but they were afraid that they would collapse their teeth.

Both teams have high defense intensity and are difficult to score. The game looks very lively, but the score is very low. It has been two minutes since the game is still 2:0.

When the Grizzlies hit again, Wang Kai took the initiative. Sebastian dribbled the ball and used the high cover to break through to the bottom line. Wang Kai took the opportunity to cut in from the weak side to the penalty area.

Sebastian took the opportunity to pass the ball. Wang Kai took the ball and pretended to move, and Roger Mason did not jump, so Wang Kai could only support his feet and turned around and shot.

With Wang Kai's move, the Timberwolves rewritten the score to 4:0. Although Wang Kai made the two points, the low score trend in this game has already emerged.

From the beginning of the game, the two teams were stuttering and stuttering. By the middle of the first quarter, the two teams only scored a low score of 10:7.

The main reason for this situation is that the defense level of both teams is very high and the intensity is very high, and the players have not adapted for a while, and they have not found corresponding strategies.

In this way, it is natural to have a low score. At this time, McHale was the first to replace the player. When McHale saw that the offensive firepower was insufficient, he immediately replaced a center who could attack and he replaced Pekovic in the middle of the first quarter.

On the Spurs, they quickly changed a shooting guard. They replaced Finley, who had a more stable shooting. At this time, both teams were strengthening their offensive end and trying to open the deadlock at this time.

At this time, ABC's commentator Bernard saw the Timberwolves fighting the Spurs here, and said, "See? The Timberwolves lost three consecutive games and lost in a hurry. Today I want to pull back the decline. But it is not easy to pull the Spurs' hair! The Timberwolves want to win back their victory, but the opponent made the wrong move."

"So you don't think that the Timberwolves will win today!" Mark Jackson heard the other party's tone and asked immediately.

Bernard nodded and said, "Of course, they are facing the Spurs! The Spurs will not give up any game easily. Moreover, the Timberwolves' condition has been bad recently! Under this situation, the Spurs have a great chance of winning, and the Timberwolves have little hope."

The game became such a battle of killing, which was the rhythm of the Spurs. When he saw this scene, not only Bernard thought the Spurs would win, but all fans who knew the Spurs would think that the Spurs would definitely win.
