Glenn Gruward didn't immediately contact SuperSonics management, but waited for Yang to help John Wallace brush up the data and increase his trade value. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Rui no longer communicated with John, he felt that there was nothing more to say.

The Raptors are no longer the weak team that they were last season, and Camby and Stodamire asked for a trade before, so it can be said that the team's record is too bad, and it seems that they are very pursuing. John is purely trying to get more appearances and get a long-term contract with a big salary in the summer.

To put it bluntly, John cares more about personal data and contracts than team records and team honors, and is a bit selfish.

And his head is really not very bright, he was just a fringe man when he was with the Knicks, and last season the Raptors finished at the bottom of the East. Where did he get the confidence that other teams would be reused? If you go to other teams and come off the bench, and look back and see the Raptors become the biggest in the East, what an exciting thing it is.

Yang Rui felt that this was very likely to happen, but he didn't plan to remind him, let alone persuade people to stay. He was only afraid that John would not want to go, and if everyone on the team was unwilling to go, he would not be able to exchange the marginal people for those who were useful to the Raptors, and now the chips are the starters with statistics last season.

On the evening of the 26th, Yang Rui adjusted the lineup and let John and O'Neal Jr. start together.

The Timberwolves started well, relying on the ability to withdraw from the inside, and Marbury broke through on the outside, and basically couldn't score the basket. Both teams have the same strengths and weaknesses.

The Raptors played a scorching game with the Timberwolves in the first quarter, trailing 23-25.

The Timberwolves inside line is a combination of Garnett and Joe Smith, both of whom are thin and tall, have poor confrontations, and score from the perimeter, and the Raptors send two mobile players to defend, which not only prevents the Timberwolves' big man from shooting, but also can change the defense well.

O'Neill Jr. and Garnett are a type that counteracts each other. O'Neal Jr. is targeted by Garnett and it is difficult to score, and with teammates guaranteeing offense, he just needs to open up space.

If Garnett doesn't shoot, the Timberwolves are missing important scoring points, and there are too few scoring points on the team, so the Timberwolves are even more uncomfortable.

Joe Smith didn't show any advantage against John, he was too soft, and he was called "parallel trade". In Yang Rui's previous life, he joined a total of 12 teams in his career, counting two times to the 76ers and Timberwolves, and changed teams 14 times, he is a famous vagabond.

In the second quarter, Maddy played as a playmaker, and De Bron, Detreve, and Christie pulled out from the outside to prepare to catch and shoot. Willis was in charge of side screens and then cut to grab the rebound in the frontcourt.

With no cover in the middle, Maddie has the option of going head-to-head as he faces 36-year-old veteran Sam Mitchell.

Yang Rui is very familiar with Mitchell, so he arranged a simple single challenge, and the gap between the two athletic abilities is too big.

Mitchell's physical fitness is average, he can't run fast and jump high, and his achievements are all hard work, and he can only rely on skills. For a guy who just played professionally at the age of 26, his greatest value on the court is what Minnesotans would say years later: He was the man who grew up with Garnett.

In his previous life, Mitchell's best performance came after retiring as a Raptors head coach and winning the 2006-2007 Coach of the Season.

When he first took office, he repaid everyone's favor with a 33-49 record, making Aruyu the worst No. 8 pick in league history; lost the greatest player in franchise history, Vince Carter; He also went down in NBA history with the Raptors in the 2005-06 season. The team's 27 wins at the bottom of the East doesn't matter, what matters is that against the Lakers on January 22, 2006, he allowed Kobe Bryant to score 81 points alone.

There is no doubt that Mitchell is a good person, if it is a bad guy as a coach, Kobe Bryant will probably be chased and cut by someone on the court when he scores 70 points......

Mitchell was too close when defending, Maddie could pass him with a change of direction, and the distance was too far, Maddie directly pulled out, and the 198CM floor flow could not be blocked at all. As soon as his teammates helped defend, Maddie passed the ball and his teammates shot three points.

The Timberwolves were beaten 13-0 by a wave, and head coach Saunders was forced to call a timeout.

They won mainly by the trident of Marbury, Garnett, and Joe Smith, and the bench was weak, with Mitchell and Bobby Jackson being the best substitutes, and the defense was poor.

Sanders switched back to the starter, and the bench couldn't stand it at all, and then the two cores were also very uncompetitive, and the shooting took turns to hit the iron.

In the second half, Maddy and Carter single-handedly blew up the outside of the Timberwolves.

THE 193CM TALL AND 94 KG PILER SUFFERED TOO MUCH AGAINST CARTER. After Peeler went off the court, the Timberwolves only had one three-pointer left for Marbury, and they couldn't break the shrink defense. The Timberwolves trailed by 21 points in the third quarter, and the momentum was gone.

In the last quarter, Yang Rui deliberately let John play more, and arranged counterattack tactics to help him brush up the data, and the Timberwolves took the opportunity to recover some points, but failed to reverse.

108-96, the Raptors ended a two-game losing streak.

Garnett missed the game, shooting just 4-of-15 from the field and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, finishing with 12 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.

O'Neal Jr. had 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and the statistics were not inferior, shooting 6 of 12 and 4 of 4 free throws, and the shooting percentage was better.

John Wallace played 32 minutes and had 19 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 blocks, which was a good performance. His physical fitness is indeed very strong, and his 203CM height does not suffer a loss in the No. 4 position, even Yang Rui admits that now John is stronger than Lewis's immediate combat power.

After the win, John was a little proud, he thought that the management must have put pressure on Yang Rui, so he increased his playing time, and he proved himself and slapped the coaching staff in the face.

However, he has no plans to stay, he wants to go to other teams to become a starter, play good statistics, get a big contract, and ultimately aim for an All-Star that the Raptors regret.

Today you ignore my love, tomorrow I will make you unattainable.

On the 28th, the Raptors played at home against the Bulls, the worst team in the East, and won just as easily. 111 to 90.

In order to better help the players brush up the data, Yang Rui put John Wallace off the bench and let him start against Kukoc, which will take a lot of effort on the defensive end.

It's much easier to brush up against the Bulls' unknown benches, and Cronne David, a white forward who entered the NBA this year out of the draft, is slow to keep up with John.

Wallace shot 9-of-16 from the field and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line to finish with 21 points, five rebounds, one assist and three blocks.

After back-to-back away games against the Hornets on March 1 and arranging a data brush tactic for John, Yang Rui reduced the playing time of two interior veterans and directly let Detreve take a rotation.

John had 16 points and 10 rebounds, no assists, and the stats weren't bad.

The Raptors lost 94-97, and it was not John's fault that several outside players felt sloppy.

Carter had a chance to tie the score into overtime, but he got rid of the defense by covering and a near-empty three-pointer went wide of the basket.

After the game, Glenn decided the time had come and reached out to Supersonic manager Waley Walker with an offer of trade. John Wallace is much better than Lewis in every way of looking at it now.
