Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 192 192. The end of the regular season (for subscription)
The turning point of Ben Wallace's career was after joining the Detroit Pistons.

Even if there were some conflicts between Wallace and the management last summer, Wallace had to leave Detroit to find another job, but Ben Wallace still has feelings for the Pistons team.

However, the culprit who caused him to leave the team, Old Sanders, became the guy Ben Wallace hated the most.

When the enemies met, they were extremely jealous. In this duel, Old Sanders and Ben Wallace both wanted to win the game to prove that they were right.

Luke, who personally dug Ben Wallace into the team during the offseason, is well aware of the conflict between Wallace and Sanders Sr.

So this game simply put Ben Wallace on the court all the time. As long as Wallace doesn't want to rest, Luke will never take the initiative to replace him.

Even in order for the team to win, Allen Iverson, who was supposed to be rested in this game, also played resolutely. He and Ben Wallace beat the Pistons until they vomited blood.

整场比赛出战41分钟的本华莱士不仅创下了赛季出场新高，同时13分22篮板4助攻3抢断6封盖的数据也打出了华莱士加盟森林狼后的最佳一战。

Among them, 22 of the 12 rebounds were offensive rebounds, breaking the league's new high in offensive rebounds this season.

Ben Wallace's performance as if he had been injected with chicken blood made Old Sanz stand on the sidelines and his face turned black.

Even though the old Sanders once used the "shark hacking tactic" against Ben Wallace in the fourth quarter, Wallace hit the old Sanders hard with 8 of 5 free throws.

When the game ended and the Timberwolves beat the Pistons by 14 points in an away game, Ben Wallace spat in disdain when he passed by the old Sanders.

Wallace's arrogance made Old Sanders tremble with anger, pointing at Ben Wallace and being unable to speak for a long time.

Old Sanders originally wanted to yell at Ben Wallace, but seeing Wallace's vicious look, Old Sanders swallowed the words out of his mouth abruptly.

The Pistons' record this season is not outstanding. They are currently ranked behind the Heat, Cavaliers and Raptors, and can only rank fourth in the Eastern Conference.

The poor team record made the old Sanders lose his position, and the entire locker room complained a lot about the old Sanders.

The old Sanders had no doubt that if he really had a conflict with Ben Wallace after the game, his own players might not turn towards Ben Wallace, but they would definitely not turn towards him. There was a high probability that they would watch him get beaten.

Especially after the game, the scene where Ben Wallace embraced with his former teammates Rasheed, Hamilton and others made the old Sanders feel as disgusted as he ate a fly.

It felt as if it was not Big Ben who left the team during the offseason, but himself. Compared with Ben Wallace, who had been away from the team for a long time, the old Sanders only felt that he was an outsider!
…………

Time flies, and it's the end of March in a blink of an eye.

Luke not only widened his rest schedule in March, but also made excuses to let Payton "The Glove" sit out indefinitely.

While training Spanoulis as much as possible, it is more convenient for Payton to keep his physical strength in the playoffs to kill the Quartet.

Freshman players like Iguodala, Spanoulis, and Millsap have improved significantly throughout March.

After Iverson joined the team, Iguodala was squeezed out before he took the hot starting position. At the same time, Iguodala complained in his heart, saying that he and Iverson really had a relationship.

Iguodala, who joined the 76ers when he first entered the league, has been playing next to Iverson.

Iverson's playing style is a bit eccentric. Even though Iverson is a lone hero who maximizes his personal heroism in the eyes of fans, in the eyes of his teammates, Iverson's existence is more like a half cancer.

If the Timberwolves hadn't built a system around Iverson, and the proportion of other players occupying the ball was very average, Iverson would not be as comfortable as he is now, quite a dream of returning to the top.

Iguodala thought that he would usher in a turning point in his career when he was traded to the Timberwolves by the 76ers, and entered the pinnacle of his career in the Timberwolves.

As a result, after sitting in the starting position and playing for not long, the boss he had served for two years followed closely behind, which made Iguodala feel like he was dreaming!
Fortunately, after Garnett was injured, Luke became more and more concerned about Iverson's rotation arrangements.

Especially as the game enters the final stage, Iverson's playing time has been controlled by Luke to about 25 minutes, which allows Iguodala to find the feeling he had when he first joined the Timberwolves.

Throughout March, Iguodala gained a lot of offensive opportunities as the team's main rotation. Playing next to Artest, Iguodala has a lot less defensive pressure and can focus more on the offensive end.

面对湖人那场比赛伊戈达拉轰下37分5篮板6助攻2抢断以及1次封盖，打出了一场自己进入NBA后的生涯代表作。

If it was against the Lakers during the 76ers period, Iguodala would definitely be the best choice for the team to defend Kobe alone.

But in this team, Kobe Bryant naturally has Artest to solve it for him, and Iguodala can give full play to his offense while he breathes a sigh of relief.

三月份伊格达拉场均可以贡献19.3分5.1篮板5.2助攻1.7抢断以及1.1次封盖，其中投篮命中率达到55.1%，三分球命中率也能保持在33.2%。

Excellent offensive and defensive performance made Iguodala the best player in the Western Conference in March, and it was also Iguodala's first career honor except for the rookie team.

Iguodala was very excited to be selected as the best player of the month for the first time in his career. He even looked ready to move against the Cavaliers when he faced LeBron James.

This season is Iguodala's third season in the NBA. Although Iguodala has not reached the peak as expected, Iguodala has learned a lot in the Timberwolves this year and has definitely benefited a lot.

When Iguodala plans to leave the Timberwolves to join other teams in the future, this experience will definitely be the most grateful memory for Iguodala.

In addition, Spanoulis and Millsap have also improved significantly.

After "The Glove" Payton was suspended indefinitely by head coach Luke, Spanoulis became the team's starting point guard.

Even in the eyes of outsiders, using Iguodala to play the first position may be a better choice, but Spanoulis has great potential.

While Luke no longer cares about the regular season record, nothing is more important than training rookies.

Spanoulis, who played as a starter in March, averaged 8.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Although the offensive level has yet to be developed, Spanoulis' ability to read the game has surprised Raymond. .

At present, Spanoulis' biggest problem is the lack of physical confrontation. Once he collides with defensive players, it is difficult to guarantee Spanoulis' offensive efficiency.

Defenders from Europe are rich in offensive methods, but at the moment Spanoulis has a long way to go in addition to his three-point shooting percentage of 39.7%.

After all, Spanoulis' playing style is doomed to use breakthroughs to attract defenses and create opportunities for his teammates. Once Spanoulis' breakthroughs cannot make defenders feel oppressed, the upper limit of the "King of Europe" in the NBA will be greatly reduced. compression.

Just like Spanoulis's draft template Steve Nash, when he first entered the NBA, Steve Nash's confrontational shooting was also poor, and even his shooting percentage in the penalty area was not as high as his shooting percentage.

However, Nash knows how to use skills to make up for his physical shortcomings. On the offensive end, Nash has always been known for his agility.

The excellent shooting ability makes the defender dare not leave Nash for half a step, and once the defender is close, Nash will have too many ways to send the ball to the basket, no matter whether it is himself or his teammates who end up.

If Nash is not the master, then with Nash's shooting level, he will definitely become an excellent outside shooter.

From this perspective, Spanoulis still has a lot to learn and has a long way to go.

As time entered April, the Timberwolves' record not only came to 60 wins and 16 losses, becoming the second team in the league to win 60 wins. At the same time, the Timberwolves only had the last six games left this season.

After six games, the Timberwolves will end all regular season schedules and enter the playoffs stage where the team can establish a dynasty, competing with many teams in the league.

Since Luke arranged a lot of rest at the end of the season, the Dallas Mavericks are currently ranked first in the West, and the Timberwolves are ranked second in the West. The difference between the two sides is only two games.

Theoretically speaking, the Timberwolves still have the possibility of counterattacking to No. [-] in the Western Conference, but no matter where the Timberwolves rank in the final ranking, the team's goal will not change, which is to launch a heroic and fearless impact on the championship! !
