NBA beast center

The biggest problem for an offensive team is not whether it can achieve an ideal record in the regular season, but that once it enters the playoffs, in the series, if you are targeted, once you have obvious weaknesses on the defensive end, you will be able to Impossible to go far.

Was the Suns offense of Nash and Stoudemire fierce?A big deal!But in the playoffs against a strong defensive team like the Spurs, the defensive weaknesses of these two are highlighted.

This Timberwolves team is not yet qualified to compare with Nash's Suns team. Their goal this season should be to enter the playoffs.And it should be the only way to accomplish this goal and maximize one's own strengths.After all, if you want Love to become a defensive champion all of a sudden, it is more realistic to expect him to have a stable output on the offensive end.

The Timberwolves returned home to prepare for the game against the Bucks.Adelman's adjustment in the last game was very effective. He felt that it was feasible to distribute the ball in this way, which could maximize the combat effectiveness of these fans.

In order to give these players more time to rest and avoid the expansion of the team's injuries, Adelman did not arrange daily training.The method of using the game to boost training is what he thinks may be more suitable for the current physical condition of the team.

On December 12, the Timberwolves played against the Bucks at home.

The Bucks are not a strong team. Although they are not considered a bad team, the upper limit of this team is not much higher.The backcourt combination of Jennings and Monta Ellis is the core of the team. What kind of combat effectiveness do you expect these two defensive players to provide?

Originally, the outside world thought that this would be an offensive battle. After all, the defense of the two teams was not very good.But the process of the game showed the exact opposite situation.

Love failed to continue the feat of scoring 43 points in the previous game, and Shou Ye did not continue the heroic triple-double performance.The offensive efficiency of the two in this game is not high, especially Love, who only made 19 of 5 shots, which is very different from the previous game.

Fortunately, the opponent is also hitting the iron again and again. Monta Ellis made 22 of 8 shots and Jennings made 19 of 6 shots. They almost smashed the basket in the center of the target.

The Timberwolves relied on a better inside offense to cause more damage, and finally won this iron battle, ushering in two consecutive victories.

After two consecutive victories, the Timberwolves' record came to 9 wins and 6 losses, and the ranking is still 6th in the West.

寿叶本场比赛进攻状态一般，得到10分13个篮板3次助攻2个抢断1个盖帽。

This is the 31st double-double in his career. Although his performance was mediocre, the team still won, so he was also very happy after the game.

This game did not trigger the bonus module and ended up with 9810 points.Adding the 13429 points left last time, and his current points total is 23239 points.

Now, because he didn't need to save points to activate any modules, he just used up all the points.

Shou Ye still added the points to the most needed physical strength, there is no way, if the physical strength is not enough, many times it is really "deliberate to kill the enemy, but unable to recover".

But with 23239 points, adding physical strength only increased by 1 point, from 67 to 68.

Shou Ye sighed that this value increased more slowly in the later stage, it seems that the most urgent task right now is to get more points, otherwise it will become less and less enough.He remembered playing games in the past, whether it was a stand-alone game or an online game, the leveling up was very fast at the beginning, but the more experience points needed to level up, the slower and slower it was.

Shou Ye knows that there is no way to do it, since you want to use the system, you can only accept its various settings.

"It's better than nothing", this is what Shou Ye often comforts himself.

The Timberwolves will play an away game against the Philadelphia 5ers on the 76th of this month. There are still 4 days before this game. They have plenty of time to prepare, and the players can also take this time to rest and adjust.

The outside world is already building momentum for Shou Ye's first guest at the Wachovia Center Arena after leaving the 76ers.A lot of predictions, what predicts that he will kill like the Mavericks last time at the American Airlines Center, and there are also predictions that he will be booed by the fans and his performance will be poor.Anyway, there are all kinds.

Shou Ye didn't care about the discussion on the Internet at all. He has been training seriously for the past two days, constantly doing shooting training and physical training, so that he can match the average playing time of more than 30 minutes per game.

The Timberwolves have also started daily training these days.Adelman mainly practiced the direct connection between Love and Shou Ye, as well as the offensive tactics around them.Obviously, in this team now, Love is the first tactical core, and Shou Ye is the second tactical core.

On the defensive end, in order to prevent Love from being frequently hit by the opponent's pick-and-roll, Adelman focused on arranging local pincers, using 3 defenses and 2 to limit the opponent's targeting of Love, and then accelerated the rotation to test the opponent's ball transfer.

Shou Ye also lamented how deadly the core of the team is the defensive colander, especially the colander is still an insider.You must know that in a basketball game, poor defense inside is far more harmful than outside.The inside line naturally undertakes heavier defensive tasks than the guards and wings. Many point guards are not good at defense, but the team can help him through the wings and inside lines.But if your inside defense is poor, people want to help you, and the opponent dunks under the basket, how can you help?
Unless you have an auxiliary defense monster that can partially defend against two, or the overall defense is strong, and you can make up for the shortcomings of individual defense through pincer rotation, otherwise the team's overall defense will definitely be difficult to rank among the top ten in the league.

The Timberwolves did not help defend against monsters, after all, Kirilenko is not his peak period.Shou Ye has never been a defensive expert. He does not hold back, but he is also overwhelmed.The team's defensive system is also very fragile. Adelman is good at training offense, but there is a big gap between him and Popovich or Thibodeau in training defense.

On the morning of December 12, the Timberwolves boarded a plane to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The last time Shou Ye was in Philadelphia, he was still a player for the 76ers.At that time, they had just finished the Eastern Conference finals, and they were still regretting that they did not make it to the finals!But in half a year, everything has changed, things have changed.

Looking at the familiar airport and familiar streets, Shou Ye has only stayed in this city for one year, but it would be a lie to say that he has no feelings.

But the NBA is a business after all, and he did not get a satisfactory contract extension.More precisely, he is not in the team's future plans.

It is very unacceptable to be "fancy abandonment" in this way, but it also shows that Shou Ye is not strong enough.If he beat James to the finals in the Eastern Conference Finals, maybe this team would not be so determined to overthrow and rebuild, and maybe many people would not leave.
