Chapter 1420 Brother wolfberry wants to highlight tonight?
This guy is too strong. He scored 80 points against the Pelicans on the field. It is not fake. If Towns continues like this, his mentality will probably explode. This is not possible. He still has to protect him. Thibodeau made a decision quickly. In fact, according to
His original personality will allow Towns to continue to work hard in order to improve and gain insights from competing with the league's No. 1 center. This is also the favorite mode of improvement on the field for those old-school players and stars. In the past, he was in the Bulls
Team, he also trained Rose in this way. But he discovered a problem, that is, both Towns and Wiggins are actually stars of the new era, and their family conditions are not bad, so their struggle or self-squeezing
The awareness of potential is not strong enough. In this case, if he and Tang Qian are forced to fight, it is probably easy to have a mental breakdown. In that case, the gains outweigh the losses.
Thibodeau expected that there would be no problem. Towns and Wiggins now indeed have a playing attitude that basketball is a job. Talent is enough to become a star player. In this case, hard work is enough.
However, Thibodeau still gave him a chance and asked him, do you want to continue to play No. 29, or go to No. 4? As a result, Towns' choice "lived up to expectations" and directly chose the latter. Euphemistically.
He said that moving to the fourth position can help the team more offensively and defensively. Indeed, this is not completely unreasonable. By moving to the fourth position, Towns can relieve a lot of pressure, but this actually means...
…escape.
It is not a good thing for a star's personal improvement.
Jordan, Bird, and Kobe always had to kill their opponents. To escape? It would be better if I broke my leg, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible. Especially in the regular season, whoever does this will fall out with whomever he does. This is called,
A superstar's desire to win. Although James is very shrewd in team operations, in terms of desire to win, he is completely at the level of a superstar.
These are two different things.
Towns? Currently, Thibodeau doesn’t see it.
He and Wiggins are also very satisfied with the current position of dual-core and two bosses, but these two No. 1 picks may have forgotten that even with the popular "dual-core" or even "multi-core" mode, in fact, the real boss of the team
There is only one. The other one is only in name. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is not the real boss. Any successful combination in history basically follows this rule. Even if it is multi-core, there must be one who is the best.
Dazzling. It is absolutely impossible to truly achieve "multi-star parallelism", but now neither Wiggins nor Towns understand the situation. Such an attitude... is not easy to lead.
In addition, now that we have entered the era of contract explosion, players no longer need to work so hard. One contract can last a lifetime. Hundreds of millions? It is said that the renewal contract prepared by the management of Towns and his generation is enough for one contract.
It's close to 200 million. This is really...something that those former stars would never dare to think about in their entire lives.
He glanced at No. 29 of the opposite Lakers team and felt more and more attracted to this Oriental center.
This kind of core is an absolute defensive black hole, and the desire to win is also limited. Still want to play an iron-blooded defensive system? Just dream.
He arranged a lot of defensive tactics. The routines are correct and the thinking is the same, but the players are not executing it well. As a head coach, what can you do? In the end, it is the players, not the head coach, who determine the outcome of the game.
.
The Timberwolves are not cooperative enough. If they want to deploy some complicated conduction tactics, they will immediately make mistakes again and again. Therefore, Thibodeau has no choice but to reduce the conduction in order to simplify the offense. In this way, the tactical power is gone. On the Lakers side
He can be pressed easily and obey the pressure. The defensive system he is most proud of cannot be used in the Timberwolves. Thibodeau is also a bit "a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice".
At this time, I don’t know if “Brother Wolfberry” suddenly enlightened and became brave. Wiggins himself also felt that his touch was particularly good, so he waved his hand and began to attack quickly.
. In this situation, it is difficult to defend, because he has a good touch and good condition, and he always makes accurate shots in difficult situations. Well, Wiggins also exploded in this game of the original time and space? Close to 50 points?
Huh? Or the highest score in his career as of 2019? Okay, okay, I know, I know, isn't it just adding a "buff"? It's not the first time. What's all the fuss about.
Just win and let him lose.
Oddly enough, Butler got excited when he beat the Timberwolves, or did he get excited when he beat the No. 1 picks? Who cares, Wiggins didn't feel proud for long before he was replaced by the Lakers on defense. Butler and Ariza completed the game.
S When Wiggins saw Butler, he didn't think anything of it at first. He thought that his touch was coming, and it was useless for anyone to stand in front of him. Funny, do you think this is still a high school league? A college league? This is the NBA.
.
Butler also couldn't stand the No. 1 draft pick who played to stay healthy. People like this were clearly leading bad children when they played.
The charm of sports is not to maintain health, but to compete. Therefore, Butler defended vigorously from the beginning. Not to mention, for some reason, his defensive state broke out. Following the outbreak of Wiggins,
Wiggins failed to make two consecutive shots. Wiggins was also a little speechless, thinking, what about you in a regular season? You can't just defend casually?
But Butler didn't look at Wiggins at all. He was still extremely fierce, making the latter scream in anger.
Okay, you think you're invincible, right? You're very defensive and tough, right? Okay, I'll use other tricks to deal with you tonight!
What trick? That’s...
Beep~???Foul???Wiggins went up to the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws. In the next round, he let Butler get fooled again. Forget it, the Lakers played the ball a little too fast.
He made a mistake and was intercepted by Wiggins who was in an explosive state, and then he made a quick break. Of course Butler would not let him pass so easily. How could he know that when he pounced, the opponent suddenly slowed down? Slowed down?
What happened? Then he took three slow steps and slammed his whole body into Butler's arms.
Under normal circumstances, "Brother Wolfberry" cannot do this well, but tonight, because of his explosive state, it can even be said to be the best night in his NBA career in the past few years. The brightest night in his career is not fake.
, so he used James Harden's porcelain skills very smoothly. In the original time and space, he also made more than 20 free throws this night, so it is somewhat unique.
This was only the first quarter, and Butler had already done it three times? Seeing that the opponent was still feeling extremely hot, and was throwing random shots, 2+1, Butler couldn't help it, and immediately questioned the referee, but he got another one.
t. Your sister, Butler was about to explode, but he was stopped by the Lakers players and asked to leave the court to rest. "Brother Wolfberry" was really in great shape tonight. Butler, a tough guy who has been on defense for many years, also
None of them were able to stop him. The aura of "possibly the highest glory of his career", the result is really not small.
Wiggins' power tonight was comparable to that of a super giant.
As soon as Butler got out, he smashed the towel angrily, and then cursed a few times. However... this was actually noticed by the referee, who thought that Butler was demonstrating against the referee, so he immediately gave the advantage with a "t".
!Butler, was ejected??? Is this true or false? He was ejected??? This is okay? Isn’t this an injustice?
But after the implementation of the "zero tolerance" rule, the referee's right to speak has been greatly increased, so even the most bizarre technical fouls can be called. This is really not a lie. A typical example is Duncan "smiling" off the court and being expelled.
, Hill and Evans slapped each other's butts and received technical fouls from both sides. Cousins also applauded and received a technical foul. "Roaring God" Wallace shrugged and received a technical foul, and the most bizarre one was "Little Potato"
Robinson once took the initiative to admit a foul to the referee and also received a "t".
This is such a vast world, full of wonders.
Think about it, even when Brooks was dribbling, he felt discomfort in his balls. He just touched it a little and got a "t". Anyway, this is the era of "zero tolerance". There is no need to explain. If you don't like it, just
Give you one. What can you do?
However, this kind of weird technical fouls are usually concentrated in the regular season, the playoffs...
Of course, it was directly biased towards the side. In the Xiao Hua era, it was even more naked.
Poor Butler was ejected like this, which made Larry Brown feel dissatisfied, and shouted angrily at the referee directly from the sidelines. There is no doubt that it was another "t". Larry Brown too
A head coach who often eats "t", although his reputation in the world is not as good as that of Jerry Sloan, the "t-eater king" in the coaching world. This guy has eaten "t" more than Nelson. He has eaten "t" 413 times, which is more than Buck.
The profit was increased nearly a hundred times.
But the temperament of the veteran coach cannot be lost. This is obviously a bit aimed at the Lakers. It is impossible not to be rigid!
So tonight, Larry Brown followed suit. Because he continued to question loudly on the sidelines and stood up for the players, another "t" appeared. He was also ejected from the court. Damn it, Lakers.
He received four "t's" and had to give the opposing Timberwolves 4 free throws for nothing. This is really an injustice.
But once this incident comes out, it will definitely not be possible to target the Lakers in a short period of time. This is also the meaning of Larry Brown's intention to make the matter bigger. Playing in the NBA league, many times, it is not just about coaching ability.
Xiang. The old man has been in the professional league for so long, there is no way he doesn’t know about it.
I have long understood it in my heart.
When Tang Qian saw that tonight's referee was Bud Kerr, he immediately understood. This guy was the referee who had never dealt with Tang Qian very well. In the previous few seasons, he had had many encounters with Tang Qian.
friction. Later, whenever he officiated the Lakers games, you obviously found that the opponents were more likely to get free throws, and the Lakers committed more fouls.
The two of them are now tacitly understanding each other and have become famous rivals similar to Steve Jarvie and Allen Iverson back then. Regarding this kind of thing, the NBA office has always allowed it to develop, not very much.
Interference. Because it is very necessary for the league to leave some classic stories and anecdotes. Over the years, the NBA system has been very perfect. It knows what can be included and what cannot be included.
.
Even Adam Silver, everything he is doing now is to make the league profitable and make the owners and players make money. Anyway, the ratings haven't dropped yet, so he doesn't have to worry about so much. The future, the future
Let’s talk again.
Now everyone supports him. This can be regarded as one of his abilities, right?
Tang Qian and Bud Kerr looked at each other and said nothing more, because they knew it would be useless. They simply let the team start to set up targeted defensive tactics to contain the "Rampage Goji Brother" Andrew on the opposite side.
.Wiggins.
Although Covington was replaced, Wiggins really played smoothly tonight. He was in a good shape and played more and more pretentiously. No, this ball was another direct pull-up jumper.
His elasticity needs no introduction, it is really strong. If his playing style is not so healthy, even if he eats his body, it is not just this data. Coupled with the continuous loss of points just now, the Lakers are about to be defeated in this period.
The Timberwolves wanted to catch up. When Tang Qian saw this, he directly asked the team to set up a "vulnerable trap", hoping to use his ability to protect the basket to suppress Wiggins. But Wiggins was also very smart in this section. Since I feel
Very good, then direct projection is, it is easy, there is no confrontation, and you can easily score points, how wonderful is it? How does it reflect my status as "Brother Wolfberry"?
The Lakers and the Timberwolves continued to compete during this period. Tang Qian was also scoring, but the opponent was also scoring points, and it was a bit of a stalemate for a while. At the end of the half, the two sides were tied 40-40, and it seemed evenly matched. The Timberwolves 40
Of the points, more than half were won by Andrew Wiggins, which shows that his condition tonight was a bit too strong to be normal.
In the locker room, the Lakers made a little summary, and the results are as follows. The defensive problem in the first half was not big, and the opponent did not find openings and then shoot and score. It was almost all singles and hard attacks, but the shooting rate was very high.
, so it seemed that the Lakers' defense was a bit weak in the first half. In fact, after careful analysis, we know that this is not the case.
When this happens, there is nothing you can do. It is not that your own defense has collapsed.
Now that Larry Brown is gone, several assistant coaches have come up with several plans. One is to use a flanking approach to force the opponent to pass the ball and then move on to the next step. See if their teammates can seize the opportunity.
. This will test the Lakers' overall defense and assisting defense capabilities, and it will easily disrupt the team's existing defensive formation. Or, simply let Wiggins play in isolation, stick to one-on-one, and wait for him to feel better. This is not possible
It is easy to give the opponent a chance to disrupt the defense, but you need to be able to keep up with your scoring, otherwise it will be easy to be pulled away. If the opponent really feels explosive, he may fall to his knees in one wave.
Tang Qian did not hesitate at all, and took the lead in choosing the second one. This is not the playoffs. There are not so many tricks. Besides, when it comes to scoring, are we not as good as the Timberwolves? Even the core players of that team are defensive black holes.
existence. Besides, wouldn't using "Jordan's Law" to deal with him also give him face?
I can't believe that Wiggins can be so strong and his hand feel never drops.
When he descends, if you fight alone like this, you are courting death.
The Lakers have already prepared pockets for him to drill into.
