Chapter 261 Chain Reaction
Chapter [-] Chain Reaction

Minnesota, Timberwolves practice facility.

"Run! Run! Run!"

"Damn it, Mark, can you slow down a little bit more? You are not much different from the old lady crossing the road in the morning. Haven't you woken up!"

"Paul, raise your damn arm a little more. If I were the referee, I would give you a T. Your movement is terrible!"

"Eric, the shooting percentage is too bad, go to practice 300 more!"

…………

The training hall was in full swing, and the young players of the Timberwolves gathered here, sweating profusely and training hard.

Frank Vogel watched the training of his disciples coldly, and kept shouting in his mouth, adding fuel to the training of the players at the right time.

Last night, the Timberwolves ended their winning streak and suffered their first loss since the start of the game in the New Orleans Arena. The queen bee Chris Paul was in the limelight, scoring 22 points, 9 assists and 3 steals. In the last 33 seconds The fatal steal at the time directly killed the suspense of the game with his own hands.

Failure doesn't taste good!

This point is felt even more strongly by these young players.

One moment, they were still the favorites in the eyes of fans across the United States, and the next moment they suffered a failure, and they were suddenly reduced to roles that no one cares about, and they were thrown into the dark.

However, in the view of head coach Frank Vogel, this may not be a bad thing.In his opinion, these boys are still too young, and the rhetoric woven by the media and public opinion can confuse them into a daze, and there are not many who can really see clearly.

"That's why it needs to be tapped from time to time!" Frank sighed secretly.

Fortunately, what makes him more gratified is that there is still one person in the team who remains awake, which even Ariza, a veteran who has played for eight or nine years, cannot control.

"Whoohoo-"

Li Shihao adjusted his breathing rhythm, and threw the basketball in his hand. The arc was beautiful, and it quickly passed the net, splashing a burst of net flowers.

In last night's game, he missed all 4 three-pointers, and his stats of 7 of 4 shots looked very impressive, but at the end of the fourth quarter when chasing points, he missed a crucial three-pointer.

Although his performance was good enough and his 28 points were dazzling enough, he couldn't erase the fact that he missed the shot from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, he would rather accept the whole game in exchange for the last three-pointer. Unfortunately, this kind of thinking is a bit naive.But he quickly thought about it and put his energy into training.

Although the three-pointer at the end of the fourth quarter last night had a cooling factor in it, his physical strength, which was about to bottom out, was also a big problem.

Naturally, the playing state when the physical strength is full cannot be compared with the state when the physical strength is half. Similarly, Li Shihao when the physical strength is at the bottom naturally cannot bring more help to the team.

The queen bee Paul is still more sophisticated than Li Shihao. He understands the NBA much better than Li Shihao who just finished his rookie season, especially in some rules and rhythms.

In the NBA, you can be physically weak and have poor skills, but you can't be unfamiliar with the rules and rhythm of the NBA. The consequences of violating them are gradually being destroyed or even eliminated.

There are too many examples of this in the history of the NBA, just like Michael Beasley, the No. 08 pick in [-], the striker who has made a big splash in the NCAA has begun to be tired of the NBA, and his team management is already having a headache. Sell ​​him off.

From the third and fourth positions, to the embarrassing situation of no three and four, and then to the torment of the bench, if this guy can spend some time practicing more and learning more about the rules of the NBA, it will only be time for him to re-emerge question.

The same goes for Thabeet, the No. [-] insider in the same class as Li Shihao. Although this guy lost to Li Shihao's Syracuse University in March Madness, he still easily won the favor of the Grizzlies by virtue of his natural advantages as an inside player.

This new inside star known as the second generation of "Uncle Mu" has become a peerless treasure in the eyes of Memphis people. They chose him without the slightest hesitation when they held the second pick, but after half of the season, they were heartbroken. to the Development League.

It seems that the No. [-] picks are more likely to sell parallel imports, and this rule has even gradually evolved into a trend of curses.

Hot training is the best way to drain people's energy. Even for the young guards like the Timberwolves, watching their players train so hard, a smile finally appeared on Frank's cold face.

The NBA season is so long, the most fearful thing is to encounter a losing streak. Don't look at the Timberwolves occupying the No. [-] position in the Western Conference, but they just suffered a defeat last night, and the winning streak was ended. Such a morale-depleting result is easy. trigger chain effects.

Tightening the tactical board in his hand, Frank sighed in his heart. During this period of time, he must make an active and effective coaching strategy to lead the Timberwolves out of the downturn as soon as possible.

"I hope I don't lose in a row! The next schedule is not easy!"

I have to admit that Frank's worries are justified. After all, the Timberwolves are still a young team. Although they look sharp now, they are easy to break. Once they fail, the shadow will come in an instant.

The wolves still need to be tempered. Without the bitter cold wind, they can't torture the unique temperament of a strong team.

In the bustling night of Los Angeles, even at [-] or [-] o'clock in the middle of the night, there is no lack of noise here. This is the famous city that never sleeps in the United States. The dazzling neon lights are enough to light up the whole city.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

There was a dull sound of beating in the passageway of the tall arena. A hulking young man with a ball bag on his back came out from the half-closed door, looked at the incomplete moonlight above his head, sweating profusely in his heart It's just a sense of satisfaction.

The tall and strong body stood still in the ink-like night, and the indescribable fit was like an oil painting with rich ink.

The logo of the Los Angeles Clippers above his head exuded a hazy light, and the tall young man clenched his fists, his heart burning.

He can't wait to go to Minnesota. He suffered a huge change last year and lost the opportunity to compete for the leader of his generation, which became his biggest regret.

Now in the new season, although their record is far behind, as a young insider of the new generation of the United States, he has played an amazing average per game, and was exclaimed by the media as the next inside monster.

In Los Angeles, a big international city with no shortage of exposure, countless media who are well versed in the eyeball economy regard it as a cash cow. In the field of basketball, you can often hear praise from many famous basketball stars. The rookie who was reimbursed for the injury season has already shined brightly, and it seems that becoming a league superstar is just around the corner!
"I'll let everyone know, Blake Griffin!"
