Gobert talks about Green: I enjoy and excited, we are all strong opponents, I m not panic

The Warriors and the Timberwolves' G1 officially started. Today, the starting lineup used by Cole is the same as the Rockets' tiebreaker, Curry + Hilder + Green + Butler + Pojemsky, continues to use the small lineup. The Timberwolves' starting lineup remains unchanged, Edwards + Conley + Randle + McDan + Gobert. I really can't tell who is better and worse in the lineup, because Green is not afraid of Gobert, but on the contrary, he is a little restrained (everyone knows it). Although Hilde and Curry both defend averagely, Conley is also a weak defensive ring, so it feels like the two teams are similar.

In addition, there is also good news from the Warriors. Payton, who had previously missed the tiebreak battle with the Rockets, made a comeback today and missed a game due to pneumonia. Moreover, Curry's thumb injury has improved. He said that it is no longer so painful, as long as he is not beaten, there is no big problem. This season's regular season Warriors' record against the Timberwolves is 3 wins and 1 loss, which can be said to be a bit restrained. Gobert is a true inside giant as a Lakers, but he really seems to have never been tough against Green.

Gober was interviewed by the media before the game. Speaking of playing against Green again, he said: "I enjoyed this feeling very much, and I was even a little excited. I enjoyed the competitive side of the game, as well as physical confrontation and all these aspects. So, I was very excited. He is a strong competitor, and so is me. "

Green had a big conflict with Gobert last season, and Green directly choked his throat. Gobert could not move at all. Some fans said that Gobert almost rolled his eyes. The scene is still fresh in memory. Green was banned from the league for this action for five games. Not only that, Green was banned from the league for pedaling with Sabonis. It is said that he also went to see a psychiatrist, and Xiao Hua finally talked to Green before he lifted the ban. According to Green's recollection on his podcast, he and Xiao Hua hugged each other and cried. Both of them were very moved in the end, and it was very difficult to return to the field.

Warriors beat the Rockets and completed the Black Seven, and the Timberwolves beat the Lakers to advance to the next round. Curry and Edwards of the two teams are a big highlight. Logically speaking, the Timberwolves have an advantage in the forward line, but they lost to the Warriors 1-3 in the regular season, so it is really hard to say who has a bigger chance of winning.

Now that the Lakers and Clippers are eliminated, all the focus is on the Warriors. As for other favorites to win the championship, the Thunder, the Cavaliers, and the Celtics, all lost in the second round of G1, it depends on whether the Warriors can also win their first away game today.

basketball commentator Barkley said that this is the ultimate showdown between speed and body shape, and it depends on whether they can play their respective advantages. The Warriors have a speed advantage in playing in a small lineup, and everyone can shoot three-pointers, while the Timberwolves have a size advantage, depending on whether they can break through the Warriors' inside line.

As for the grudges, there are also two teams. Edwards tried out the Warriors and was told by Cole that he was not qualified. Butler had also been with the Timberwolves, and the grudge between Gobert and Green... so the highlight is also very good.

As for Gobert's words, he was very excited about Green's feelings... I personally think he should be very panicked. After all, if Green is beaten up, will he do this again? I guess Gobert himself is not sure...
