Chapter 283 Is also a marksman

Minnea means "water" in Indian, and Polis means "city" in Greek. Together, they can be regarded as "water city".

Although Minneapolis is an inland city, it has a well-developed water system and many lakes.

In the early days, the city's economic vitality was mainly based on the use of waterfall water power and the development of wood processing.

Today, there are 22 light and beautiful small lakes in the city, with winding paths around the lake, shaded by trees, and lush flowers and plants.

The Lakers started their glory days in Minneapolis.

The Timberwolves joined the league during the NBA expansion plan in the late 80s. The Orlando Magic, Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets also joined the league at the same time as the Timberwolves.

So this is a very young team, and Garnett is the first real first-line star in team history.

Therefore, the team's development philosophy seems a bit hasty, and it is overly worried that the departure of the supernova in the team will lead to a series of "mysterious operations".

Compared with the Warriors, it is much more chaotic.

So not long ago, the Timberwolves sent away Stephen Marbury, an excellent young man who had been trained in the team for two years. During the Timberwolves period, the latter averaged 16.9 points, 8.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game, which is already a quasi-All-Star level.

This should be the most painful operation for the Timberwolves during this period. Even if they have repeatedly emphasized that the newcomer Terrell Brandon is also a titan who averaged 19.5 points, 6.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game in his peak period.

But fans always believe that substitutes are still substitutes after all. If Brandon is really so good, how can the Bucks be willing to give up?

The Timberwolves, who traded Marbury, looked particularly sad. In the cold and windy Minnesota, they could only hug Garnett's rising popularity to comfort themselves.

At night, the Warriors entered the field of the Target Center arena.

In the Target Center arena tonight, the number of spectators is sparse.

A big team like the Warriors doesn't attract much attention from fans at all.

Qin Fei's deal was too sudden. After the Timberwolves fans knew that the Warriors had won an active All-Star and understood the reason why this game could actually be watched, the Warriors had already gone elsewhere.

The NBA officials urgently organized a broadcast. Although the attendance rate was not high and no one watched it, there were still many people paying attention in front of the TV.

Qin Fei was still wearing the Warriors' training uniform outside. After searching for the camera for a while, he finally found the scene of him practicing jump shots on the three-point line.

Qin Fei casually dribbled the ball behind his back a few times, made a feint to pretend to break through, then tapped forward to take a step back, and made a slightly backward jumper from three points away.

I trained myself, I didn't jump very high, my touch was very soft, and the basketball went "swish".

Soon, the lights in the arena became brighter, and a passionate DJ played the sound of "howling wolves", which is also a feature of the Timberwolves.

There was no celebration, and the Warriors put their arms together to cheer.

Afterwards, the starters of the two teams took off their training jackets and stayed on the field.

The Warriors' classic jerseys have always been dominated by gold and blue color schemes, with a row of large letters on the chest. By the end of the 90s, the Warriors' jerseys had undergone great changes. Like the changes in the entire NBA jerseys, they became looser. The away jerseys were mainly black.

But its black is not pure black, it is more like light black, the collar is protruding pure black, the chest is still a row of large letters, and the side is a red-wrapped yellow lightning pattern, which is a great improvement over the previous generations of jerseys.

Qin Fei walked onto the court wearing a black No. [-] jersey, still wearing an armguard on his left arm, and a pair of black and red Nike sneakers on his feet. The logo on it is an artistic "F", which is the "Qin Fei Generation" launched by Nike before the season.

Qin Fei hasn't memorized all of his tactics yet, but there's nothing he can do about it. The mid-season trade is like this.

After the trade, the Timberwolves' starting lineup, from No. 1 to No. 5, is Trier Brandon, Sam Mitchell, Kevin Garnett, Joe Smith, and Dean Garrett.

This is actually a three-team lineup, and the latter three are all forwards above 2 meters.

In the 90s, such a lineup was very normal, and Garnett moved very fast, and he could play both the third and fourth positions.

Brandon is a small point guard at 1 meters, and Mitchell is a veteran who has been beaten by Qin Fei before.

The Warriors' lineup from No. 1 to No. 5 is Bimbo Kors, John Starks, Qin Fei, Don Yale Marshall, and Eric Dampier.

In Qin Fei's first game with the Warriors, Carlesimo placed him at the small forward position.

这其余的四位球员，比姆博科尔斯是90年的次轮秀，身高1米85体重82公斤，本赛季场均9.5分4.6次助攻。

John Starks is one of the few "big-name" players among the remaining players. He used to be the best sixth man of the Knicks and was also selected as an All-Star. He averaged 19 points per game at his peak. He used to be one of the members of the "Gangs of New York", but now he is 34 years old. He averaged 13.8 points, 4.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game this season.

马绍尔和丹皮尔都是年轻人，一个26岁，一个24岁，分别是2米08和2米11的位置标准身高。

Qin Fei and Dampier are relatively familiar. After all, Dampier is also a rookie in the same class as Qin Fei.

However, Dampier was sent to the Warriors after playing for the Pacers for a year. He averaged 11.8 points and 8.7 rebounds per game in the Warriors last season.

Of course, Qin Fei's deepest impression on this player is some of his classic quotes in the future.

Dampier is the inside core that the Warriors want to cultivate. In the previous trade with the Supersonics, the player Wally Walker originally wanted was Dampier. Later, Rowell gritted his teeth and would rather send away the newly selected No. [-] pick than send away this rare talent.

In the final analysis, centers are too precious these days. Before the three seconds of defense come out, the big center stands on the basket and stretches out his long arms. Even if there is no bounce, it is easy to block more than two shots in a game. It is normal for some talented centers to average four or five blocks per game.

The starting players of the two teams stood on the court, and the live broadcast shot found Qin Fei from Garnett.

Then some Qin Fei's data was given in the camera.

Qin Fei was an All-Star player in the league last season, the third team of the best team, the second team of the best defense, the most improved player, and won the championship, full of honors.

In the Supersonics this season, Qin Fei still averaged 19.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game. He is considered the most offensive and defensive supernova among the younger generation.

Qin Fei and Garnett clapped hands and hugged each other.

This is a friendly greeting before the game.

At first, the two were not very familiar with each other, but after some activities together during the offseason, they became more familiar, and they were able to talk and complain about each other.

"Come on, brother, you can finally lead the team on your own now. This is a great opportunity to prove yourself."

He showed a kind smile, looking at Qin Fei's current teammates, feeling a little bit empathetic, and a little bit happy that he would no longer be hammered by the supersonic "rogue trio", so should he hate labor negotiations or be grateful for labor negotiations?

"drop--"

With the buzzer sounding, the game officially started.

Dampier unexpectedly beat Garnett, the Warriors won the first wave of offensive ball.

The black Warriors are like five black arrows, entering the hinterland of the Timberwolves. Bimbo is in control of the ball. According to the coach's arrangement, the Warriors' conventional tactics will be used first.

The regular tactics of the Warriors, that is, the tactics under Carlesimo.

After Carlesimo came to the Warriors, he completely overturned the Warriors' previous "small ball storm" and changed his position to attack.Use the big center's inside screen as a starting point to create air-cut scoring opportunities for wing players; or the ball-handler's one-on-one breakthrough from the strong side, turning to the weak side to create opportunities for the inside to attack the basket.

Of course, there cannot be only two tactics. The main idea is to emphasize scoring at the basket and reduce long-range shooting, because the longer the distance, the lower the shooting rate and the lower the scoring efficiency.

So in the two years Carlesimo coached the Warriors, the Warriors have changed from a team that averaged over 88 points per game to a team that can only score 27 points. Since there are no decent three-point shooters in the team, the three-point shooting rate is even worse. Last season, they averaged 28% of the three-pointers per game, and this season, they averaged [-] of the three-pointers per game.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Qin Fei only has a three-point shooting rate of about 35%, he is already at the level of a sharpshooter in the team
