Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 143 143. The end of the season
The Western All-Stars narrowly beat the East, Garnett fatally blocked Wade, and the host Tracy McGrady won the AMVP trophy.

These few things are the most discussed issues among fans after the All-Star Weekend.

Especially Garnett's cap-grabbing Wade at the final decisive moment, almost made the fans blow Garnett to the sky.

Some fans have even left messages on the website. If this year's DPOY is not Garnett, it must be the league behind the scenes.

I believe that Ben Wallace will be so angry that he vomits blood after reading these messages. An All-Star game allowed Garnett to win the hearts of fans, and the impression points from the media are even fuller. This is very important for competing with Garnett. It just sucks for DPOY's Ben Wallace.

Even if Garnett's deadly blocks and key passes at the last moment are indeed very exciting, Ben Wallace doesn't want to admit that Garnett is stronger than himself, especially his proud defense.

However, as the reporter continued to write many articles on Garnett's fatal block, Garnett's impression points have been pulled very high.

According to the current momentum, the DPOY competition between Garnett and Big Ben seems to be gradually coming to an end.

Unless Big Ben can play a few shocking games in the final stage, Ben Wallace will still lose this year.

…………

After the All-Stars, the time came to the end of February, and there were only two short months left before the end of the regular season.

For the next period of time, while the Timberwolves went all out to break the best record of 72 wins in history, Luke arranged rotations for the main players.

So that the players' bodies can be in a healthy state before the playoffs.

Especially veterans like "Glove" Payton, "Alien" Cassel, and "Madman" Sprewell. Although these three are still in excellent competitive form this season, their age is there after all.

The intensive game process will inevitably make players feel tired. Compared with young players like Gerald Wallace and Bynum, the physical recovery cycle of veterans is a bit long.

It is important to break the best record of 72 wins in history, but the ultimate goal of the Timberwolves is still the championship trophy.

Otherwise, the Timberwolves break the historical record in the regular season, but they are unexpectedly upset in the playoffs. The saliva from the outside world can drown the Timberwolves.

The strongest team in history can't win the championship trophy, no matter how you explain it, it seems a bit pale.

As of March 3th, the Timberwolves had a record of 15 wins and 60 losses. The chances of breaking the best record in history are getting higher and higher. They have never been favored by the outside world, and now they are rarely not favored by the outside world.

From the end of the All-Star to the present, the Timberwolves have only lost one game. This season, the Timberwolves still have 16 games to complete all the schedules.

Even if the opponents in the last part of the schedule are very strong, but with the Timberwolves' competitive state this season, it is not difficult to win 16 of 13 games.

It is worth mentioning that Bynum was put on the starting lineup by head coach Luke after the All-Star break. As the starting lineup, Bynum's performance has become more and more stable, and his dominance in the low post has emerged.

近十场比赛安德鲁拜纳姆场均可以轰下16.1分9.3篮板1.2助攻以及1.7次封盖，其中前场篮板为3.1个，投篮命中率同样高达55.4%。

Under the joint training of Luke and Lambiel, Bynum's personal strength has undergone qualitative changes.

In addition to the still low golf quotient and often making some unbearable mistakes on the court, Bynum is already impeccable in terms of personal ability.

Even in the recent game against the Rockets, Bynum scored a double-double of 17 points and 11 rebounds against Yao Ming, and was praised by assistant coach Lambir as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

In fact, although Bynum's golf quotient is not high, he will always do some unbelievable behaviors on the court, but Bynum's competitive spirit is very strong.

As long as Bynum on the defensive end is taken by the opponent's center alone, Bynum will have to play the ball in the low post in the next round. Regardless of whether he can score or not, Bynum will definitely not swallow this breath.

Bynum's more serious behavior does not please the coach, but in Luke's view, this is the characteristic of Bynum.

If Bynum did not have this kind of truthful psychology in his previous life, he would not have the title of "Little Shark" in his later life.

Luke is perfectly fine with Bynum's occasional stupidity, as long as Bynum doesn't lose his mind at critical moments.

In addition, Gerald Wallace and his teammates have become more and more tacit after running in. On the defensive end, Wallace can always fill in the positions missed by his teammates at the first time, sharing a lot of pressure for Garnett. .

As for the offensive end, Wallace has not made much progress compared to the Bobcats. The offensive methods are still fast-break counterattacks and air-cut bombings from the off-ball end.

However, the seemingly wild Gerald Wallace has the ability to shoot from the outside. Although the shooting percentage in the early [-]s is not the main offensive method, it can make Wallace more threatening and open the space for the Timberwolves. .

Except for "Little Shark" Bynum, the Timberwolves' starting five have good passing vision, and "Glove" Payton and Garnett are among the top passers in various positions.

Excellent coping ability can make Wallace's explosive style of play like a fish in water. In every game, Wallace will stage several alley-oops, allowing fans to enjoy their eyes.

如今坐稳球队首发小前锋的杰拉德华莱士场均可以贡献14.6分7.4篮板2.8助攻2.7抢断以及2.3次封盖。

Although the scoring data has dropped a bit compared to the Bobcats period, the overall efficiency is much higher than that of the Bobcats period.

In particular, Gerald Wallace's 61.3% field goal percentage makes Gerald Wallace the first small forward in the league. This data only counts players with more than 100 shots that season.

Wallace's efficient performance is also due to the tacit cooperation of the Timberwolves. The offensive end does not occupy the ball, the ball reaches people without the ball, and the defensive end works hard. This is simply a perfect championship puzzle.

If Gerald Wallace can improve his shooting to become more stable next season and make himself more threatening on the offensive end, Gerald Wallace will definitely have a place in the All-Stars.

…………

The time came to the end of March, and the Timberwolves lost to the Lakers by four points in the last game in March. This loss also brought the Timberwolves' record to 66 wins and 7 losses.

Even though Luke still used a half-court attack against Kobe, Kobe, who was feeling hot, still scored 39 points under the double-team.

Kobe's fiery state can only make the Timberwolves swallow the defeat helplessly. The only thing that makes Luke feel relieved is that Bynum blasted Gortat, who was single-changed with him, in the personal matchup.

整场比赛戈塔特11投5中，罚球4中3，交出一份13分7篮板的数据还算不错。

But Bynum, holding his breath, fully released his dominance in the restricted area in the low post. The stats of 25 points and 13 rebounds crushed Gortat under his body, and put the face of "Zen Master" Jackson on the table again. There was a "slap" sound.

What Jackson is most afraid of now is that Bynum will play shocking statistics again. Regardless of whether Bynum is facing the Lakers or not, Jackson will definitely be picked up by the fans and buried again.

Although the Timberwolves swallowed the seventh loss of the season, the good news is that there are only nine games left for the Timberwolves this season.

Even though five teams in these nine games are playoff-level teams, as long as the Timberwolves don't take it lightly, breaking 72 wins this season is a foregone conclusion!
