The King of the NBA - Chapter 419
The Timberwolves’ starters were also the starting five tigers last season, Dion, Love, Ning Yi, Martin, Rubio.
Although Whiteside and Jokic have made great progress, Coach Adelman has not brought them to the starting lineup.
Whiteside and Jokic are very good and worth training, but in the case of the Timberwolves, it is better for the team to put them on the bench. Because the starting lineup has Ning Yi and Love, both offensive and rebounding are guaranteed, and Ning Yi has excellent organizational skills, and Rubio has some overlap. Jokic’s organizational ability and overall view are in the starting lineup It has no effect.
As for Whiteside, his movement speed is not fast enough, which is a bit worse than Dion, and the Timberwolves starting lineup needs speed, so he is not very suitable.
Not to mention, whether it is Whiteside or Jokic, their experience is still a bit inadequate, it will become a weakness in the starting lineup, and the bench lineup does need them.
There are Whiteside and Jokic, as well as Clarkson, Turner, Jack and others. The Timberwolves’ bench lineup can be said to be the top nba.
“Uh!”
Ning Yi received a pass from Rubio for a three-pointer at the beginning of the game.
Then the Hornets counterattacked, but failed to score. The Timberwolves’ progress has not only been offensive, but also raised a level of defense, and the defense has become more oppressive.
On the offensive end, the Timberwolves showed a terrifying scoring ability, Ning Yi did not need to say, he was almost able to play against James last season.
This season, Ning Yi’s three-point breakthrough, other aspects have also improved, the strength is further, has fully reached the nba top level.
Rubio now specializes in three-pointers, anyway, his middle distance was not very stable, so he lost it.
In fact, when Rubio focused on three points, his scoring average did not decline, but instead improved a little, even the average assists per game also increased.
This is because the three-pointer itself is one more point than the two-pointer. It is already 9 points to score three three-pointers in a game. Just add another layup or free throw to score a double.
And, because of the threat of three points, the defender must defend very well. The opponent fears Rubio’s three points, which also allows Rubio to have more space and a better chance to break through and pass a good ball for his teammates. , So assists per game have also improved.
Love has always been stable. He has reached his personal peak. It is difficult to improve his technology and strength, but his efficiency can be improved. He has become more mature, more steady, and more efficient in playing. So although Ning Yi split a large part of his shooting power, Love’s score did not suffer much.
Dion still plays his role, never using the ball to attack, because in this lineup, he is not necessary to hold the ball to attack, there are too many people who can score.
His mission is to defend, pick and roll, and rebound.
For these reasons, Dion did very well, and he is not incapable of scoring. In fact, Dion averaged nearly 10 points per game last season, because Ning Yi, Rubio, Martin, Love are there, even if He didn’t hold the ball to attack, waiting for others to feed his mouth, he can also score a lot of goals.
The only one in the entire starting lineup that has not improved is Martin.
In fact, strictly speaking, Martin has regressed. At least from this game against the Hornets, Martin has regressed. Perhaps the season has just begun and has not been adjusted. In short, the state is not as good as last season.
But it didn’t matter, even if Martin made 0 of 4 shots, he didn’t get a point, but the Timberwolves still suppressed the Hornets, and after a few minutes of playing in the first quarter, the Timberwolves had already led by 10 points.
“Pick and roll.”
Ning Yi made a gesture, flicked the defender through a pick-and-roll, and took a step aside. Raising his hand was another three-pointer shot. The basketball crossed to the arc and hit firmly.
This is the third point of the ninth level.
“Another third.”
“This is Ning Yi’s second three-pointer in this section.”
“How many three-pointers did he make?”
“Two.”
“Uh……”
In the auditorium, the fans were talking.
They didn’t know that Ning Yi’s three-pointer made a breakthrough and reached level 9, but they can see that Ning Yi’s three-pointer is very sharp. Although only two shots, Ning Yi is stable every time. Full of confidence.
“beep……”
The Hornets requested a timeout, and the point difference was already 13 points.
Several Hornets players came to the court and all looked serious. The Timberwolves showed too much strength. They can score almost every point. The key is that their ball is running smoothly. With Ning Yi and Rubio as the two organization masters, the Timberwolves of course can run smoothly.
Smooth ball transfer, rigorous tactics, plus excellent personal abilities… Such a Timberwolves scare the Hornets, too powerful.
Here, Adelman’s heart was surging and his face was full of smiles.
Although he has long known that this season the team has become stronger, but just a few minutes ago, he was excited by it, the Hornets can say that there is no resistance, the whole is one-sided.
“This season, we will definitely get the championship.” Adelman is full of confidence.
The pause ends soon.
Only seven minutes passed in the first quarter, but Adelman has replaced the bench lineup. The main lineup is already strong enough. Now it’s time to test the bench lineup.
The game continues, and the Timberwolves have Whiteside, Jokic, Brewer, Turner, and Jack on the bench.
This is a mixed lineup of old players and young players~www.mtlnovel.com~ Brewer, Turner and Jack are all old players, which can make up for the shortcomings of Whiteside and Jokic’s inexperience.
After coming up, the Timberwolves’ backup lineup showed a strong combat power. The Hornets are not a pure bench lineup, but a mixed main and bench lineup, but they still fall into the disadvantage.
“Can’t even beat the opponent’s bench lineup?” The Hornets coach sighed.
is really unbeatable.
The Timberwolves have Whiteside and Jokic on the inside, Brewer, Turner, and Jack on the outside. There are almost no shortcomings. It is a very balanced lineup with both offense and defense.
Compared with the Timberwolves, even if the Hornets sent a main + substitute lineup is still not an opponent, at most can only guarantee not to fall behind too much.
But the difference is still uncontrolled.
When the first quarter ended, the two sides scored 34:19, the Timberwolves led by 15 points.
The Timberwolves fans in the auditorium couldn’t help themselves, shaking their hearts, and the Hornets fans felt cold and lost 15 points in a single quarter. The Hornets only scored 19 points, but the Timberwolves blasted 34 points. This gap is speechless.
Such a big gap, will there be any suspense in this game?
