Chapter 751 All need to be adjusted
The Timberwolves are still very competitive this season! Last season in the Nets got Teague, in the Bulls got the big man Butler! Undoubtedly, they are all the first players that Minnesota valued and trusted after trying to rebuild last season!
Wiggins is in great shape on the team! When Teague and Butler didn't come, he was focused on training! When a lot of the best players played with the Timberwolves last season, he could still get good statistics!
And Zhang Hao is now in contact with Chen in the Timberwolves in the recent week. Now the team is going to put him in the third team. This situation is quite understandable, and if nothing happens here in Minnesota, the competition among the players will be even more fierce in the future!
The team that can make it to the Western Conference finals in the West is still very good! The Thunder didn't go in, the Spurs didn't go in, the Rockets didn't go in! And the Timberwolves have reached the final showdown in the West! Faced with the situation of the Warriors' three-point rain at every turn, the Timberwolves still couldn't resist the final defeat.
"Remember this game is a preseason game, whoever wants to fight the Timberwolves right now I'm going to just replace him! Just try your best, our purpose is to see the opponent's coordination and other statistics during the game, there is no need to fight them hard at this time......"
Chen was a little unhappy, but his tone was still relatively normal when he spoke. The players also came back to their senses at a timeout. During the game, the stars of both sides still had a lot of fighting spirit because of a few balls! What's more, both teams had a good run last season!
Needless to say, the Nets are the favored teams in the West this season are the Timberwolves and Rockets! And here in the East, the Celtics and 76ers think it's going to be a good season!
After the two sides came back again, Russell dribbled across the half court, and Mozgov scored a jumper after getting the basketball! 12:8! The Timberwolves immediately saw that the Nets were not so energetic.
The players on the Brooklyn side immediately adjusted after hearing Chen's words. So the Timberwolves are not in such a hard state at this time. The two sides are back to the way they started playing.
Butler takes the basketball and scores a layup after a quick pass to Jefferson! 14:8!
Although Minnesota's offense is not strong, their overall feeling is still very oppressive! And the Nets have already got the task that the coach said. It can only be played as a preseason.
Lin dribbled to the front court and faced Crawford's defense with a quick pass to Egypt's Diyus, whose jumper was directly capped out by Gorguis! Gibson went to the front court as soon as he got the basketball, and Crawford took the basketball and hit a three-point shot right away! 17:8!
Russell hit a three-pointer right after passing Wiggins after halftime! 17:11! Looking at the 12 players in his hands now, and then looking at the current player ability and quality of the opposing Timberwolves, I am still a little worried.
Chen has not been able to reach Atkinson on the last few phone calls this season. And now Atkinson has begun to prepare for the Nets' player formation this season!
First of all, it is still a question of whether Garnett and Rose will be able to return, and then there is the question of whether those basketball players are not suitable for the team. There are still good players in the Development League this season, and there are still quite a few players in the current roster!
How to choose is not a small problem. The Nets' goals this season are clear, and their results last season proved that they have what it takes to win a championship! So the goal of this season is directly to win the championship, but whether it can be in the playoffs and last season's performance is difficult to say.
24:19! The final score of the first quarter was not too high. As soon as the two teams relaxed, the efficiency went down.
“...... When the time comes, the interior has to defend them, and then Teague and Wiggins attack on the outside and pass in if they aren't efficient. "The fans at the scene started to get excited when they saw the lineups of the two teams coming up in the second quarter!
The Timberwolves, Towns and Teague, are on the court! Here at the Nets, Crabbe, Quincy and Williamson took to the court after listening to Chen's setup. For Williamson Chen, he is still relatively relieved, his abilities are good, and he also knows how to protect himself.
Crabbe was a nice blue-collar player before coming to the Nets. Brooklyn still has to focus on cultivating him! And as the main player in the future! Last season, Crabbe's stats were pretty good blue-collar guards!
Lin got Williamson's serve and slowly went to the frontcourt, and under Teague's defense, Lin quickly changed the rhythm and immediately broke through the goal and threw it directly to score! 24:21!
Since the main forces of both sides are almost up, both teams are also a little itchy. It can still be seen in the game.
Chen would have wanted to see what Williamson, Quincy and Crabbe were capable of. As a result, since the opponent has come up with such a lineup, let's see how far the two teams can play. If it's too intense, I'll change people right away, and I won't tell them anything else.
Teague fooled Crabbe with a feint and immediately went in to find that there were not many chances, and quickly passed the ball to Downs. The latter scored immediately in front of Mozgov! 26:21!
Williamson went to the frontcourt, and now many Nets fans already think that he will be the main player in the No. 3 position of the Nets in the future! The point guards rotated with Jeremy Lin and Russell, and the scoring was Crabbe and Rose. But it's not clear when Ross will be able to return!
Last season Rose was really good! As long as he is on the court, he shows a lot of damage on the offensive end! Under Butler's defense, Williamson passed the ball to Lin with a little difficulty, and then took Lin's return pass and jumped quickly to hit a three-point shot! 26:24!
Butler has nothing to say about physically! The alignment of the two players is also more beautiful! Since Williamson arrived last season, the Nets have played a certain number of games.
Wiggins crossed the half, and suddenly jumped directly next to Butler and hit a three-pointer! 29:24! This season, the Timberwolves team mainly does three-point shooting! There are quite a few teams in the league that are doing well in this regard!
The Cavaliers have decent three-point ability right now! Teams such as the Wizards, Rockets, and Thunder all have good three-point ability. Especially in the last two years, the Rockets' offensive efficiency and three-point improvement have been very fast! Their squad is already star players plus strong substitutes!
And the Timberwolves are okay defensively at the moment. In terms of scoring, the main ones are defenders and centers, and here we will highlight a little more! After Teague went from a scoring guard to the Timberwolves, he started scoring and handling the ball again! And it's not bad~
Zhang Hao's words are not very clear to him about his future development. I haven't played him in the preseason yet.
Williamson got the basketball again and dunked straight past Gibson's defense! The cheers of the scene immediately followed! 29:26! Williamson can be said to be one of the few players who has just joined the NBA!
Although he came in with the Trail Blazers, he was immediately favored by the Nets after being sent down. After arriving at the team, he also showed good ability! The team is not stupid, and when Zijin has been nervous, they pay more attention to the players' data!
Although this young man has a rough technique, and the number of mistakes is sometimes higher. But his comprehensive ability is indeed much higher than his average this year!
He is very involved on the field, and he is also stepping up practice quickly because some skills are not proficient off the field! Williamson's physicality is something Jonathan envies. In terms of scoring, Jonathan's individual ability is sometimes terrifying! But sometimes the physical fitness is limited, it's quite powerful!
He is still easier to deal with when playing an average team, but when playing a strong team, Jonathan will sometimes be unstable because of his physical weakness. In the second quarter, the Nets immediately changed to a different team after changing some key players.
Teague dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Downs got the ball and turned around and scored a jumper! 31:26! Crabbe passes half-time, and Limma passes the ball to Crabbe. The latter hit a direct three-point shot!
The difference has narrowed to 2 points! The Nets started shooting threes in such a state! The Timberwolves can clearly feel the change in the Nets! With Wiggins' three-pointer missing, Crabbe immediately grabbed the rebound and passed to Williamson. The latter didn't think much about himself after passing half court by himself, and quickly rushed to the basket to dunk and score! 31:31!
Thibodeau knew it was pre-season but still wanted a timeout. This coach will leave for the Bulls a few years ago, and this team will immediately change a lot! In the later stages, because he didn't have a good relationship with the Bulls management, and when he faced the Cavaliers in the playoffs, he couldn't have a good offensive end.
So after being fired, he came to the current Timberwolves! And with the Timberwolves, it didn't take long for the overall state of this team to change a lot! However, there are also those who pay more attention to Thibodeau's coach, saying that the current Timberwolves are not similar to the Bulls he coached back then.
Can the team's offense keep up immediately after the defense becomes good? That's something the team needs to solve.
"Against the Nets, Williamson doesn't have to be too deliberate about defending him. This will create opportunities for their teammates around them to come out immediately......" Thibodeau probably said the same today. Tell the players not to work too hard. But he saw that the team was falling behind and wanted to get them to adjust.
"The other party is just a little relaxed. Their defensive ability is still good! So my request is not to think that the other party's ability is not good. You still have to be serious on the field......"
In the end, Chen still emphasized not to take it too seriously.
Teague went to the frontcourt, Wiggins took his pass and quickly feigned attack before passing to Downs. The latter stuck to Mozgov in the past and successfully played 2+1 after the foul! The main thing in this game is to find the feeling with the other party, the feeling of the game, and the feeling of the opponent's style of play.
For Chen Yinan, he hopes to meet them at the end of the season! Because compared to this team, it feels like the Warriors are still relatively good on the court! The Timberwolves don't have a lot of three-pointers, and they're mostly shooting some two-pointers or simply dunking to score.
If the Nets are in good shape by then, they can suppress the opponent by shooting three points! But on the one hand, will such a team still win against the Rockets like it did last season? Not necessarily. It's just a feeling of how to deal with each other right now, and by the end of the season we really don't know which teams will finish in the top eight.
It's a new season and all the teams are in good shape! It's the same starting line again~ a whole season! The team that was at the bottom of last season's ranking also wants to fight this season to see how far it can go~
Quincy received a pass from Williamson and was about to shoot a three-point shot, and Gibson was directly capped off when he was in the air! Teague picked up the basketball next to him and immediately rushed over! It was too late for the Nets to see it, and Teague jumped up quickly and hit a three-point shot! 37:31!
As Chen said, the other party's state immediately improved after being serious! Lin carried the ball to the frontcourt, and Teague was a good guard when he was with the Pacers. After arriving at the Nets, he was a good shooting guard, and now when he is with the Timberwolves, he has reached a high level in terms of playing time and play!
Last season, he had 12.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists! Whether it's the organization or the team, you can stand up quickly when you need to break out!
Quincy didn't shoot as quickly as he did last time after taking the basketball again. Rather, I saw that there was basically no play and the decisive pass to Mozgov. The latter's jumper was successfully interfered with by Downs! Williamson suddenly made a deduction at this time to score points! 37:33!
Butler received Teague's pass in the front court and passed Quincy and immediately made a layup to score points! 39:33! Williamson's three-pointer was missing, Wiggins got the rebound and made a long pass to Teague, and Gibson hit a long-range 2-point shot after getting Teague's pass shortly after halftime!
The Nets are basically Williamson a bit more of a threat right now, but the Timberwolves coach doesn't think it's going too hard to defend him. One is to pay attention to cutting off the connection between the other party, and the other is to keep a certain distance and not stick too hard.
Thibodeau is an excellent coach. After such an adjustment, the overall rhythm of the Nets immediately became chaotic. And sometimes the opponent can quickly break up Brooklyn's overall offensive state!
Nets players can now feel the pressure on opposing defenses as well. In the case of not fighting hard, there is also a lot of interest in how to surpass the other party. Lin went to the frontcourt, and under Teague's defense, he suddenly pretended to be fast and wanted to go to the basket, and suddenly stopped and jumped to shoot a three-point hollow into the net! 41:36!
After observing the opponent's defensive characteristics for a few rounds, Lin began to have more time to attack! The Timberwolves weren't so strict defending Jemilin after seeing him get the ball. At this time, he also knew that the opportunity had come out.
Wiggins passed halftime, and Butler got the ball and threw it into the air as soon as he made a layup.
