Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 42 42. Preparing to rob... Bah!Ready to cut leeks!

The Timberwolves bloodbathed Orlando with 47 points, and this matter quickly spread in the American basketball circle.

The strength of the Timberwolves this season has already amazed the fans, but in this game the Timberwolves even bloodbathed the Magic by 47 points, and it was still in the absence of star Garnett. This ending is really shocking.

I am afraid that no one thought that the Timberwolves would play such a bloody game before the game.

Slaughtered opponents by 47 points in a single game, which not only set the largest point difference this season, but also set a record in the history of the Timberwolves.

Originally, in the few games when the head star Garnett was absent due to injury, the Timberwolves had their first wave of losing streak this season.

This also made many fans question Luke's coaching level, thinking that Luke picked the peach of former Timberwolves head coach Saunders, so he can play such an amazing performance in the new season.

Even after Luke took over the coach, the Timberwolves' style of play is obviously more explosive than that of the old Sanders, but last season, the Timberwolves had the first and second record in the Western Conference. Hard to convince.

But this 47-point bloodbath in Orlando made Luke dazzling, especially the set of five small lineups sent in the second half made people have to redefine basketball.

In this day and age, most coaches still firmly believe that those who win the penalty area win the world, and often the salary and playing time of big players are much higher than that of smaller players.

However, the Timberwolves used a three-pointer against the times to play a game that bloodbathed Orlando. This kind of result simply makes people have to think deeply.

The Timberwolves' offensive methods throughout the game were defensive counterattacks and outside three-pointers, and the big players headed by Karl Malone on the inside became supporting roles.

But this style of play not only did not surprise the fans, but also felt so smooth and silky.

After the game, the Timberwolves' record came to 28 wins and 7 losses, temporarily retaining their No. [-] position in the league.

And according to the Timberwolves team doctor, Garnett's finger injury is no longer serious, and he is expected to return in the next game.

In addition, Magic coach Davis' remarks at the post-match press conference were also ridiculed by fans.

Many fans think that Davis behaves like a bitch. Not only did he not reflect on himself after losing the game, but he also wanted to ask Luke for an explanation.

Many fans who watched this scene wanted to laugh, and bluntly said that Davis knew that he was about to leave get out of class, so he questioned Luke angrily.

However, Luke's response after the game made many fans hooked.

After the Magic defeated the Timberwolves in an upset last time, Magic head coach Davis was smug in an interview with the media, and the smile on his face was as bright as cow dung.

As a result, in the second match between the two sides, the Magic were bloodbathed by the Timberwolves by 47 points, and Davis immediately became annoyed. The comparison between the two sides was like a clown.

In Luke's words, how happy he is when he wins, then he must be prepared for how painful it is when he loses, instead of questioning Luke from the air like now, hoping that Luke will give him an answer.

In the end, this game also allowed many fans to recognize Luke's personal character clearly, and was even labeled as a must-revenge.

Many people think that the reason why Luke staged a bloodbath in Orlando in this game and was unwilling to release water in the garbage time of the fourth quarter was because the Magic gave Luke his first career defeat at that time, and he was still complacent after the game, so This is the main reason why Luke is bent on revenge.

It is said that after the Timberwolves bloodbathed Orlando with 47 points, Pacers coach Carlisle, who had just led the team to defeat the Timberwolves not long ago, immediately stood up to support Luke.

Said that Johnny Davis is like a clown. This behavior that cannot afford to lose makes Carlisle, who is also a coach, feel ashamed.

Originally, these two things had nothing to do with each other. After all, it is impossible for competitive sports to bypass failure. However, after the fans analyzed the cause of this incident and labeled Luke as vengeful, many people raised their eyebrows at Rick Carlisle. middle finger.

To put it bluntly, Carlisle is really a guy who can adapt to the wind!
Carlisle is definitely a senior expert in the industry in terms of being able to bend and stretch, and adapt to the wind!

"Good job, Lu, Glenn just called me last night. He said that the last game was simply the representative of the team's season. He hasn't been as excited as yesterday for a long time. I think you have killed Glenn. Die." Shaking his head helplessly, McHale only felt that the boss, Glenn Taylor, was getting more and more satisfied with Luke.

Even McHale, the general manager, was a little appreciative of this satisfaction and appreciation!
Even though Luke's excellent leadership performance makes the position under McHale also secure, McHale always feels that he will be emptied sooner or later.

After all, Luke's ambition has never been concealed in front of McHale, which makes McHale feel a thorn in his back every time he is alone with Luke.

Especially in the high-level meetings within the Timberwolves, McHale had the illusion more than once that Luke was the general manager and he was the subordinate.

"It's just that Johnny is too weak." Sitting on the sofa, Luke replied indifferently. "By the way, Kevin, I came to you this time mainly because I need your help with something."

Hearing Luke's indifferent voice, McHale has long been used to it. If McHale hadn't seen Luke smiling, McHale would definitely think that this guy has facial paralysis.

"Ok?"

"Could it be that you have a new reinforcement target?" McHale sat up straight without any trace, trying to make himself look more like a leader.

"Yes, the record of the 76ers so far has not been very good, and now even whether they can make the playoffs has become a problem."

"I know that the 76ers have been looking for a deal recently, and I asked you about Fred's offer not long ago."

"At present, the leek of the 76ers is ready to be cut." Luke lit a cigarette without hesitation, and Luke raised his head and leaned on the sofa and exhaled a puff of smoke ring.

"Indeed, I've talked about this before, but you didn't seem interested at the time."

"And as far as I know, the 76ers have been attacking the King's Chris in addition to strengthening Allen. This matter is no secret in the industry."

"For the 76ers, Allen and Andre are definitely not for sale. I think the strength of the others is very average. I don't know why you suddenly became interested." Looking at Luke with great interest, McHale Clearly interested in this matter.

"I want you to agree to the 76ers' negotiation. From the current point of view, this deal may not bring qualitative improvement to the team, but in the long run, I will cut off the leek of the 76ers."

"I'll send you the specific details of the transaction by email." Taking a deep puff on his cigarette, Luke looked at McHale's puzzled expression and added, "If you believe me."

Taking a look at Luke, who seemed to be exuding confidence all over his body, now McHale no longer doubted Luke's ability.

To put it simply, as long as Luke can lead the team to achieve results, then McHale is still willing to listen to opinions on matters such as trading.

Even McHale thinks his eyes must be above Luke!
"Okay, I will carefully weigh your plan." McHale said with a serious face, putting his hands on the desk. "As long as your proposal can make the team better, then I am willing to meet your request."

After McHale finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again, and added a sentence to Luke in time: "The premise is to save money. You know, the team's salary space does not allow me to spend any more."

Glancing at McHale coldly, Luke stood up and accurately ejected the cigarette butt into the ashtray, "It seems that you still don't know me well enough. I prefer robbery to spending money!"
