?? Mike Brown was successfully persuaded to join the Clippers' coaching staff.

Brown learned of his firing in the morning, went to the Lakers office at noon to pack up his things and leave, and completed the termination process.

For him, it was a relief.

In the future, whenever he thinks of this tragic day, when he became the shortest-lived coach in NBA history, he can't help but hide under the covers and laugh.

In the afternoon, Brown received an invitation from Clippers management, and he didn't think much about it and happily agreed.

Then he showed up in the locker room of the Clippers at the Staples Center.

Of course, because of the formalities in his contract, Brown can't sit on the sidelines for the Clippers for the time being.

He has to go through a set of processes before he can officially join the company and move next door.

Of course, reporters can't wait, and when Brown appeared at the Staples Center wearing a Clippers logo T-shirt, many people understood that Brown was coming to the Clippers!

The reporters were excited, and this was big news.

The new FMVP left the Lakers for the Clippers in the summer, and after the start of the season, the best coach went to the Clippers.

Are the Clippers trying to hollow out the Lakers?

It's really wrong to the Clippers, who never thought of it that way.

They are all voluntary!

Li Liang and Brown came to a "reunion after a long absence", and the whole person's spirit was much better.

It's nice to have Brown here, not only to provide quality defensive strategy, but also to make a punch bag.

If you have nothing to do and scold twice, you will feel much better.

After all, Firth hasn't been in contact long enough here, so it's not pleasant to scold.

By 7:30 p.m., the Clippers players were walking onto the court, ready to begin the battle against the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves came to Los Angeles to play back-to-back away games, and the last win was a thrill.

The Lakers basically had little resistance, and they were beaten by the Timberwolves.

Kevin Love had 25 points and 14 rebounds, Kevin Martin had 27 points and Rubio had 12 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists for a triple-double.

The Lakers, whether defensively or offensively, couldn't cause problems for the Timberwolves and let them play too smoothly.

In the second game of Stamps, the Timberwolves will not have such an easy time.

The Timberwolves have had a bad year since they joined the league, and after so many years, they rose to prominence in 2004.

The rest of the time is a waste of the talent of the star players in the team, after all, the team's operation is really a mystery and can not be more obsessed.

In fact, although Minnesota is in people's impression of the north, basketball here started very early and is very hot.

The Lakers were founded in Minnesota and became the first dynasty in NBA history.

So although it is a small ball city, Mingzhou is by no means a barren place for basketball.

It's a pity that their luck is really bad, since they relied on the three-headed monster to reach the Western Conference finals in 2004, they have not made the playoffs for 9 consecutive years.

If you want to say that the team is very poor, Lefou, Rubio, Martin, are all quite strong players.

And Brewer, Pekovic, are very good players.

The head coach is the famous coach Rick Adelman, and the level of coaching is no problem.

But this team is inexplicable and always lacks combat effectiveness.

Garnett was there that year, but he only made the playoffs for seven consecutive years before being swept in the first round.

Without Garnett, the Timberwolves have not made the playoffs a single game since the beginning of the team.

is enough to show that, first, Garnett is really awesome; Second, the Timberwolves' team is not reliable.

Therefore, when Li Liang was tryout, he didn't think about going to the Timberwolves to give it a try.

Although he is the father of the system, what if the system can't save the Timberwolves?

This year's Timberwolves seem to have a bit of momentum as a strong team, and they have gradually built a team system with Love and Rubio as the core.

Love is statistically impressive, averaging 26 points and 17 rebounds per game in his first seven games.

In the last three decades, no player has been able to put up such stats in the first seven games.

Lefou's player doesn't look tall, strong, fast, and he's still a white player.

But after a game, the data is often scary.

In 10 years, Love, who was in his third year in the league, scored a staggering 31 points and 31 rebounds against the Knicks.

The last player to complete this kind of double 30 data was Moses Malone in the 70s and 80s.

Truth be told, it's a terrible statistic.

But terrible is terrible, and Love has never shown the impact of Garnett on the court.

Garnett dragged the Timberwolves into the playoffs in the 1996-1997 season.

The Timberwolves, whose record will reach 30 wins last season, have always been a strong contender for the top pick.

This summer, the Timberwolves reached an agreement with free agent Kevin Martin to sign him to supplement the team's guard line.

Martin spent only one season with the Thunder, parting ways with them after the Thunder lost to the West.

It can only be said that the Thunder's decision to trade Harden was too stupid to fail, wasting a championship season, and finally losing the main body of the trade, Martin.

Martin had worked with Adelman when he was king, and they knew each other well.

So when I came to the Timberwolves, Martin felt like a fish in water in the first few games of the season.

He scored 30 points against the Knicks, 32 points against the Mavericks, and broke 20 points in the other games.

Martin's style of play is still more suitable for playing as a starter, and one-on-one heads-up and breakthrough are not his strong points.

He needs to get a certain tactical position in the starting lineup, rely on stronger teammates to cooperate, open up space and develop a touch.

It's not good to let him play as a substitute, he doesn't have the ability to "everyone dodges Lao Tzu and gets the ball in alone".

In this regard, Martin is not as good as Crawford, so aside from defense, Crawford is a better sixth man.

Before the game began, Rivers made arrangements for Martin's point.

It would be a waste to ask Li Liang to defend Martin and let Li Liang defend Corey Brewer.

Li Liang also defended Martin when he played against the Thunder in the playoffs last season.

Defensive guard isn't a problem for him, his height and reach are an advantage, and his footwork is quite solid because he is often electrocuted in the system.

Martin is not known for his footwork and speed, and like Harden, he is good at rhythm and smart play, and Li Liang is not afraid of such an attacker.

The game started on time.

In the first shot of the opening game, Martin used cover to make a mid-range jumper.

As a result, he was unsuccessful by Li Liang, so he could only pass the ball to his teammates to reorganize his tactics.

At this time, Mike Brown was sitting in the audience watching the game.

He's taken off his Clippers logo T-shirt and put on his regular uniform, like a spectator.

Brown knew he didn't come to the Clippers for a blessing, but for a mission.

Rivers has already said that the Clippers need a solid, reliable defensive system.

Mike Brown's main task is to build the system for the Clippers and then implement it in practice and games.

This game was a great opportunity for Brown to take a closer look at the Clippers and think in his head about what kind of defense they would be suited to.

In the playoffs last season, as the head coach of the Lakers, Brown analyzed the weaknesses of the Clippers.

Their weakness is obvious, that is, they can't change their defenses.

Now that the roles are reversed, Brown has to think about how to make up for these weaknesses.

It's quite a challenge.
