Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 24 24. Former Disciple: Sign the "European Big Bird"!
With the end of the game between the Timberwolves and the Pistons, the focus of the news on the sports sector the next day was all on this game.

Because in this game, the Timberwolves not only had a court conflict with the Pistons at the beginning of the game.

In the press conference after the game, head coach Luke even called Larry Brown a piece of garbage.

No matter which of these two things is taken out, it can be called a big hit.

In particular, Luke's attack on Larry Brown like a short guard, this is really a crazy thing to the extreme in people's eyes.

Basketball history is not without fiery villainous bishops, but throughout history, there is no coach as full of villains as Luke.

The "Cloton incident" that happened not long ago kept Luke on the cusp of the wave. Now that the impact of the previous incident has not yet ended, Luke has appeared in the public eye again.

This kind of speed similar to a factory assembly line really makes fans overwhelmed.

If before people only regarded Luke as a bastard, now most people think that Luke must be a lunatic, this guy's brain is not normal at all!

It is worth mentioning that in the face of Luke's name-calling and abuse at the post-match press conference, Larry Brown has never stood up and fought back.

I don't know if Larry Brown didn't want to talk to Luke, a lunatic, or Larry Brown was terrified by Luke's crazy behavior.

But one thing is certain at present, that is, the beam between the Timberwolves and the Pistons is completely settled.

Especially the Pistons player Rasheed Wallace, even made a series of verbal bombardment of Hassell on his personal Twitter after the game.

Said that in the next game between the two sides, Hassel will definitely look good, and Hassel, who also has the attribute of "mad dog", is naturally not to be outdone.

Less than half an hour after Rasheed Wallace tweeted, Hassell responded forcefully.

He even challenged Rasheed Wallace, asking him if it felt good to get punched.

It is foreseeable that the next match between the Timberwolves and the Pistons this season will not be peaceful.

Because whether it is Rasheed Wallace and Hassell, or Luke and Larry Brown, these few are not willing to suffer!
………………

After defeating the Pistons, the Timberwolves' record this season came to 21 wins and 3 losses, still leading the league with a visible advantage, and continuing to secure their first place in the league.

Throughout December, the Timberwolves were the focus of the league's attention. Basically, more than half of the news in the sports sector was reported around the Timberwolves.

After all, whether it is the heinous "Krent incident" or the smell of gunpowder between the Pistons and the Timberwolves, this will allow the people who eat melons to actively participate in the discussion.

And the name Luke is also well-known in the NBA at present, but compared to leading the Timberwolves to the first place in the league, what really makes Luke widely known is Luke's crazy and ruthless personal image.

If it weren't for the fact that Luke's Timberwolves had never played against anyone on the field, then Luke's reputation would have fallen to the bottom.

But at present, although Luke has a hot temper and often does some crazy and extreme things on weekdays, people have never heard of Luke intentionally causing harm to any player.

Relatively speaking, the Timberwolves are tough and tough when they are playing on the court, while the Pistons are really iron-blooded and dirty!
In addition, many fans on the Internet dug up some news reports about Luke when he was coaching in Europe.

It can be clearly seen from the reports that Luke is an extremely defensive coach, and likes to use violence to protect players on the field.

In order to punish the "European Hyena" for its misdeeds on the field, Luke also specially arranged a game for it, and the result of that game was that the Tau team lost, but the "European Hyena" paid a lung as the price !

........................

On December 12, the Timberwolves officially released a news, announcing that the team had officially signed a contract with free agent Bokinekhbar.

In this way, the Timberwolves' 15-man roster for the new season will be completely completed. Although it is not known whether the Timberwolves will make trading adjustments in the future, the Timberwolves have completed the reinforcement of the 15-man roster so far.

As for who Nehbar is, I believe many people have never heard of it, and this reinforcement also confuses Minnesota fans.

Because the name Nehbar is too unfamiliar, fans really can't imagine why the Timberwolves would suddenly make such a move.

Speaking of the player Nehbar, the time goes back to the 2002 draft.

In the 2002 draft, the Rockets selected Nehbar from the European League with the 15th overall pick in the first round.

It's just that after being selected by the Rockets in the first round, Nehbar developed a resistance to entering the NBA.

This led to dissatisfaction with the Rockets after Nehbar's trial training, so Nehbar finally stayed in the European League and did not land in the NBA.

The Rockets also gave up the chance to sign Nehbar.

This is exactly one of the drawbacks when NBA teams choose players from Europe, that is, European players rarely can directly land in the NBA to play after being selected.

In most cases, it takes a long time to wait and choose.

Nehbar is 220 meters tall and weighs [-] pounds. He is a standard European small forward.

And as a European player, Nehbar has excellent team awareness and shooting ability, which also made Nehbar called the "European Big Bird" by fans in the European League.

It is worth mentioning that Nehbar was Luke's disciple when he coached the Tau team in the European League.

And it was Nehbar's outstanding personal ability that helped the Tau team at that time complete the glory of four championships in five years.

So after learning that Luke entered the NBA and gained a foothold in Minnesota, Nehbar's desire to go to the NBA became active again.

After all, Luke is his first coach, and the relationship between the two can be described as close, even though Luke has always been irritable and stern in front of outsiders.

But in the eyes of the docile Nehbar, Luke, who loves and protects the short, is simply his strongest backing.

It is precisely because of this that Nehbar took the initiative to call Luke and express his desire to enter the NBA.

And Nehbar's idea naturally won Luke's affirmation and support, and the Timberwolves currently have only 14 players on their roster, so they can just use this number to sign Nehbar.

It is worth mentioning that Nehbar has played under Luke for many years, so once Nehbar chooses to log in to the NBA, no one knows how to use this "European big bird" better than Luke.

在欧洲塔乌队效力的那几年里，内赫巴尔在场均登场30.9分钟的情况下，个人可以贡献出20.1分6.8篮板7.4助攻以及1.3次抢断。

And the shooting percentage has remained above 46% all year round, and the three-point shooting percentage has never been lower than 35%.

This is why the Rockets will use the 15th pick in the first round to select Nehbar, because Nehbar's performance is worth the Rockets' gamble.

Even if it wasn't for the fact that choosing a European player is too risky in this day and age.

Then with Nehbar's personal ability, he can definitely enter the lottery. If the market is good, even the top ten will be fine.

Regarding Nehbar's willingness to enter the NBA and join forces with him, even Luke, who has always been unsmiling, couldn't help but smile.

At present, the Timberwolves have a crowded interior configuration, and there is no shortage of people on the back line. What is lacking is the depth of rotation on the forward line.

Therefore, the joining of "European Big Bird" Nehbar will definitely make the Timberwolves stronger.

After all, no one knows how to use Nehbar better than Luke, and no one knows how to face Luke better than Nehbar!
