Originally, the starting lineup of the Timberwolves in the first half of the 12-13 season in history was center Nikola Pekovic, and the forward line was AK Sr. and Derrick. Although Williams and Roy only played five games for the Timberwolves, Roy was the starter in the first five games, and the point guard was Luke. Ridno.

Their high hopes for Love and Rubio both returned to the starting line-up due to injury.

And now because of Chen An's existence, the old AK and Roy have been cut off, and the Timberwolves are now letting Glen Davis and Pekovic partner inside. However, because they failed to sign the old AK and Roy, the Timberwolves have plenty of salary space, and they have chased a lot of people in the free market, such as Junzi Lei, who left the Green Shirts.

Fortunately, when Junzi Lei reached the end of his career, he valued honor more, politely rejected the 10 million contract offered by the Timberwolves, and followed the trajectory of history to the Heat.

In the end, the Timberwolves made three deals on the free market, signing OJ Mayo on a one-year contract, signing Nick Young on a six-million-year contract, and finally getting Barbossa from Brazil's Lightning with a base salary.

Eating three points in one go, the Timberwolves also hope to find treasures, Barbosa is over 30 years old, and he was a substitute rotation back then, and the Timberwolves hope that Mayo and Nick Young can play, so as to solve the problem of offensive power of the guard line.

To be honest, it's a pity that Mayo is a player, when he first entered the NBA, he was known as Kobe's successor, and many people were optimistic about him, and in the first two seasons of the rookie, he did perform well and showed strong offensive ability, but then he went downhill, and his data fell all the way, and he finally failed to play, far from meeting the expectations of the outside world.

There are several reasons for this, but the most important thing is that Mayo is a high school student participating in the draft, and the outside world's expectations are based on the fact that his body will still develop, but unfortunately after Mayo entered the league, his height and arm span have not grown at all, and his own small skeleton, narrow body, lack of confrontation and other shortcomings have gradually been exposed.

In the NBA, if the confrontation is insufficient, it is impossible to effectively guarantee the completion of technical moves, and if Mayo and others are restricted by talent. 、

Coupled with Mayo's lack of resilience, no quality to move forward in adversity, and some problems with his personality, he lacked communication with other players in the team, so the Grizzlies finally gave up on him, and after the end of the rookie contract, the Grizzlies did not renew the contract with the 08 class, originally historically, Mayo also stayed with the Mavericks on a one-year contract, and finally signed a three-year 24 million long-term contract with the Bucks, and since then, the once high-profile genius has disappeared from the NBA.

But in any case, Mayo is a good complement to the Timberwolves' guard line at the moment, and as for Nick Young, a typical offensive and defensive weak player, the Timberwolves also hope that his arrival can further solve the problem of the guard line.

It is because of these changes that the Timberwolves starting lineup for today's game are Pekovic, Glen Davis, Derrick. Williams, O.J. Mayo, and Luke Ridno. The Magic side still maintained the start of the first few games, and Chen An did not make any adjustments.

It's just that Chen An didn't expect that the Timberwolves would be like playing chicken blood as soon as they came up, and the three-board axe almost beat the entire Magic team into a circle, halfway through the first quarter, the score of the two sides turned out to be 17:5, and the Magic team fell behind by 12 points in the opening half of the quarter.

Chen An hurriedly called a timeout, on the one hand, let the players quickly adjust their mentality to sober up, on the other hand, he also made himself sober up, he knew that he despised the Timberwolves, and more importantly, the attitude of the two sides towards today's game was completely different, in other words, the Magic team still had the fatigue left over from the previous game, and was lazy and lazy on the court, but the Timberwolves were like playing chicken blood, sharpening their knives and preparing to harvest.

To find the reason, it is naturally in Chen An, a series of changes brought by Chen An have made the Timberwolves stronger than the same period in history, and the performance of the Timberwolves in the opening stage of the same period in history was also very strong, with four wins and one loss in the first five games, and two wins and one loss against Magic.

And now the Timberwolves' targeted reinforcements have taken effect, their record is 3-0, facing the Magic at home with a winning attitude, plus the deal involving Glen Davis, the Timberwolves paid 14 years of second-round picks and 15 years of first-round swaps, so the Timberwolves are particularly strong in the face of the Magic, they want to prove that they are better than the Magic, and that first-round swap is the most stupid decision for Chen An.

Of course, the reason why the Timberwolves started so strongly is also because of Glenn Davis, this guy also has an 'ex complex', which means that he is particularly energetic when facing his old club, as if he wants to prove that his old club traded him as a mistake.

Not to mention, the 12-13 season was the peak season of Big Baby Glen Davis, and today he opened the game with three consecutive beats to Ryan Anderson, scoring six points and showing his hot form. For Chen An, this guy is indeed a problem, because because of his strange round size and amazing strength, Anderson can't limit him on the defensive end at all, so Chen An has to adjust.

"Cheer up, don't drown your head one by one, even if my team loses, I have to play with my own momentum. I'm still saying that, if you feel tired and can't keep playing, just tell me, I can rest you, but once you get on the pitch you have to show your own attitude, understand? ”

Chen An roared loudly, encouraging the players, some were indifferent, but some players were emotional, such as Beverley, such as Green, etc., they were eager to have more opportunities to show themselves.

Grasping the emotional changes of the players, Chen An did not disappoint them, and made adjustments with a wave of his hand, Beverley replaced Lillard, Zhu Fangyu replaced Harris, and Green replaced Anderson, his meaning is obvious, the defensive end must first show an attitude, and can no longer be loose, which is why he replaced Beverley and Green, and Green went to the big baby, the two should collide with some sparks, Chen An is quite looking forward to seeing Green's defensive effect.

As for the replacement of Zhu Fangyu, on the one hand, it is because of the consideration of offensive and defensive balance, and on the other hand, it is also because the Timberwolves' forward line is not strong. Williams is still a substitute for Battinger, and Chen An believes that Zhu Fangyu can put some limits on them on the defensive end.

After such a substitution, the offensive burden is all on Harden, but Chen An is very confident, because Harden is a little different today, not only in good condition, but more importantly, he has something in his emotions.
