Beating the Nuggets and pioneers, Timberwolves won two consecutive victories. The threshold of the play-off is not high, and the Timberwolves are only half way away from the 10th jazz in the West. Downs will return sooner or later. Theoretically, the Timberwolves season is not over yet.
Of course, in any case, this is not the situation Timberwolves want. Before pressing the “nuclear” button on CONNERY’S, the picture he imagined must not be the last place in the West as the following dog. After all, eight months ago, they have retained the home advantage of the play-off. The focus of the debate on this deal of Gobel is no longer right or wrong. When this deal appeared, whether it was the media or fans, they thought that the Timberwolves were wise, at most, I just look forward to it with the mood of opening lottery tickets. Maybe there is also the ancient righteousness hidden in the deep. I am not waiting for talent to realize it.
At least so far, we have not seen the behind of Wolf tube.
Will there be a behind?
It seems that there will be.
The ball lost more and was far from expectation, and contradictions naturally grew up. Downs & Russell, the position of two buddies friends in Minnesota seems to be unstable. Although gossip is not true, it is also a plot trend that is not difficult to guess. If Timberwolves want to save themselves, they will inevitably ask themselves the following questions:
Q: Can the twin towers succeed?
A: Although the brothers didn’t play a few games together, it was a little bad to see this posture.
Q: Is the twin towers not a problem of downs or Gobel?
A: Both brothers are uncomfortable, but objectively speaking, Downs have a smaller decline and Gobel is further from expectations.
Q: Do you want to send Gobel away?
A: Isn’t it too fast to hit the face……
Q: Can Gobel exchange four chips of the first round +1 first round exchange + Kessler + Fan Debiao + Beasley + Beverly + bolmaro to achieve the promotion?
A: Just ask yourself and give you another chance. Will you make the deal of Gobel? No. So, do you think there will be a more stupid general manager than you?
Q: What should I do?
A: move downs and pretend that we have long wanted to move him. In exchange for Gobel, we did two way stretch in advance.
Q: Is it enough to move downs?
Answer: Russell has to be moved. Downs can move. What else can he do?
OK, logic closed loop.
If there is a way of operation that can slightly change back to the image of Wolf tube, it can only be to send Gobel away and admit his mistake in the face, which is an attitude. If a key decision maker is assigned to take the blame and resign, then in the list of “counting the top ten bad operations of NBA”, wolf control is still standing there.
But objectively speaking, no matter how big the mistake is, you can’t overturn the plan in just half a season after a deal related to the survival of the team. In any case, Timberwolves have to find a way back to find a venue. After all, before talking about the compatibility of Gobel and whether Gobel can do it or not, the first thing the Timberwolves didn’t do well was how to use Gobel. Please find out the difference between Gobel and Garza on the defensive side in the following two rounds:
The difference is that there is no difference. The basket guard hands were expanded to go online and handed over to other teammates. The advantage of this strategy is to create pressure on the ball holder, and have the opportunity to cause the opponent to make mistakes and fight back, which can also reduce the chance of the gear remover to get the ball shot. This strategy was the key to the success of the Timberwolves last season. It seems that there is nothing wrong with thinking that today’s opponent is a pioneer. But if the court is so guarded, the Timberwolves have no sufficient reason to say that Gobel’s defense did not meet expectations. After all, when the players who make up the place to guard the basket under your basket are rivers and Russell, who will be placed online, the effect will not be too bad.
Finch insisted on the successful experience of last season and ignored the changes in Timberwolves configuration, which was undoubtedly one of the reasons why the team’s defense failed to meet expectations. But Finch also had something to say-do you think the defensive strategy is isolated? Last season, who was the team with the highest score by using the opponent’s mistake? Do you remember? Who, in what way, did you remember this achievement? Just the lineup you gave, this space, you don’t play some evil, how to attack? Just look at these boys. Which one looks like a place war?
The success of the Forest Wolf last season was to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses in the skills of the Wolf Kids, the victory of nasi radicalism in the West, and the success of a whole set of basketball philosophy, even if the Timberwolves finally found the guiding ideology suitable for them, the plan for a successful season would be overthrown and restarted immediately, which is somewhat unreasonable. From Finch’s point of view, he tried to insert Gobel into the original system first, instead of establishing a new system around Gobel, which is understandable. Further, it also “experienced” Gobel in a sense-isn’t it always said that there is no PLAN B with you as the core of defense? You show everyone your PLAN B.
Therefore, every night, Gobel was rushing between the delay mentioned above and the back-to-back protection basket. Compared with other centers who also implemented this strategy, Gobel did not do badly. But when your DPOY just gives the evaluation of “not bad” on the defensive end, your defense system has already failed.
No matter how hard the baguette is, it is also a bread, which is mainly used for eating. It is better to use a hammer to smash walnuts.
Finch counted on Gobel to be just an “integrated person” rather than a leading role. Some of them took himself seriously. Once Gobel can’t give full play to his exclusive value of protecting the basket, all kinds of embarrassing situations are inevitable. Without the game of Gobel, the Timberwolves win more, which has some contingency, but Gobel has no more unique value than the substitute contribution behind him, which is also true. Neither the game view nor the data support that Gobel is more suitable for Timberwolves than Natz Reed. Even after you watch the performance of Garza, the team’s fourth Center, people will doubt how much better Gobel is in this team than this buddy. After all, Garza can play like this:
Timberwolves need a new offensive and defensive system to make this team more suitable for Gobel. Defense is relatively easy to change, and attack is more troublesome. In addition to improving the congested space, what is more needed is to upgrade the development resources to ensure the smooth organization of the position attack, and the backcourt ball holder is the key to achieve this goal. This is probably why there are rumors about Russell’s deal.
Indeed, as an expired contract, Russell’s uncertainty leave allowances is annoying. But objectively speaking, according to the management’s understanding of Russell in the market, it is not too difficult for Timberwolves to renew a reasonable price contract with him leave allowances. However, among all the assets of the Forest Wolf, the only one willing to move, the contract also has some weight, and at the same time, it seems that there is still some value, as if only Russell.
It is not easy to move Russell. Except for the few teams interested in him on the market, Timberwolves have no second point guard who can play the main attack and pass the ball. Edwards’ comprehensive ball holding level, the team’s internal control ability and the main attack skills of the front line are not enough to support the Timberwolves to give up the point guard. This means that in the case of not moving others, it is better to exchange Russell for another guard-a guard stronger than Russell.
This kind of opportunity is not completely absent. If The Sun gives up this season and is ready to reorganize the team around Booker after changing the boss, then the Timberwolves can exchange Russell for Paul, it is equal to helping the sun clean up Paul’s partial guarantee contract next season (15.8 million). But first, this kind of opportunity is not big, and second, it can only be solved for a while. Paul is too old, so it is better to leave Russell for a long time.
Gobel is the face of the management and cannot move. Hua Zi is the life of the management, and of course he can’t move. Russell can’t change enough players. If he moves, he will not solve the problem. After such “rational” analysis, the last thing that can move is really Downs-of course, if you really move downs, it won’t be now, but by leave allowances, this kind of movement will get bigger-even the object is not difficult to find. Last summer, two teams inexplicably introduced another all-star in their dominant position. As a result, each team was in trouble, leaving the core team that had been maintained by the original instinct for many years in danger. The West is the Forest Wolf, and the east is the eagle.
Downs & Gobel, Yang & Murray, re-match, almost suitable.
If Downs went to the Eagle, Collins could stay and Capella had to leave. Where is it delivered? Or send it to 76 people. What about the great? Send it to the sun and get Paul. What about Elton? Send it to basketable nets and exchange it for Simmons. I think it’s OK.
Starting from the two lines, the final argument is completely consistent, that is, the most appropriate person to pay for the Gobel transaction is downs. And Downs is the first star of Timberwolves in name, and the team has been around the men who have built the team for many years. After a round of trouble, I finally found that this bowl of optimized and improved beef noodles could really be without beef.
It sounds ridiculous, but it is nothing new. The friends who have made the plan in the workplace are no strangers. The leader gave a self-satisfied idea. In order to add this idea to the student, he finally redid a set of plan, which was all routine operations. After the change, Party A asked why the plan was so awkward. The person who backed the pot had to do the plan.
