Sloan was furious on the bench, DeLong and Boozer were all scolded by him, especially Brewer, who was defending Zheng Ke, and couldn't lift his head when he was scolded by Sloan.

"Ronnie (Brewer), how did you defend Zheng Ke, you said yourself, how many times did he just pass you? What did I tell you before the game, tell you not to eat, so that you don't be affected by his feints, and you are still deceived by him and spin in place, you disappoint me so much, Ronnie! Okay, you give me a good reflection on the bench, Andrey (Kirilenko), you go. ”

Brewer lowered his head and didn't speak, he was really aggrieved and panicked, and secretly said that what Coach Sloan said was simple, but when it came to the game, how could it be so easy to see through the opponent's feints?

Brewer came off and Kirilenko came on in his place.

"Oh? AK47 is coming. When Zheng Ke appeared on the stage, he was slightly surprised to see Kirilenko's figure, but that's all, he is now full of confidence and does not fear anyone.

After Kirilenko came on the field, Zheng Ke felt a certain amount of pressure, the two also had several encounters last season, and they are already quite familiar with each other, compared to Brewer, who was newly promoted to the starting position this season, Kirilenko obviously has more experience in defending Zheng Ke, and Zheng Ke's fiery state has finally dropped slightly.

At halftime, the Timberwolves led the Jazz by six points at 53-47, and Zheng had 12 points and six assists, which looked more like a point guard.

Anderson is in hot form, with four blocks in the half, and the host of the Minnesota local TV station that is now broadcasting has been talking about him. Even Zheng Ke, the real best player of the half, was overlooked by them.

Anderson and Love are two great complements.

Lefou's big build, but a solid floor stream, he rarely contributed a block in a game. What is the concept of a measly 0.5 blocks per game as of the last game? Among all players in the league, this average number of blocks per game ranks outside the hundredth, so now Lefu gives the impression that he can grab rebounds, shoot basketballs, and pass the ball. Can't jump.

A lot of people like to carry Love into the interior and use the bounce to find space to shoot, but now they are being blocked by Anderson, who is becoming more and more integrated with the Timberwolves. The two of them have formed a preliminary tacit understanding, Lefu resists, and Anderson goes to cover. It's a bit like the Thunder in later generations, with the meat shield Perkins going against the opposing team's low-post attackers. Ibaka assists in the fight against the brush.

Section III. The two teams were still inseparable, Billups hit a three-pointer, and Delon responded with a beautiful breakaway; Zheng Ke made a pull-up jumper, and Boozer also hit a shot

The margin rarely shrunk back to less than five points, and in the third quarter, Zheng Ke scored five points, three rebounds and three assists, and after that, he had contributed 17 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, which made the audience who watched him excited at the scene. It's obviously a rhythm of running for three pairs.

In the end, the Timberwolves won 101-94 over their visiting fellow divisional opponent. The Jazz, Zheng Ke was expected to return, scored a triple-double of 21 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, and became the MVP of the game.

Anderson played 34 minutes in his best game since arriving at the Timberwolves, finishing with 10 points, 11 rebounds and six blocks

The Timberwolves' next opponent is Anderson's old club, the Nuggets, who two weeks ago were still melancholy at the Nuggets' water cooler, and two weeks later, he has become one of the most popular players in Minnesota, and he is now grateful for the Nuggets who sent him away because he found a new life with the Timberwolves and is starting to really shake off the shadow of drug use.

Similarly, Telfair has rediscovered himself with the Nuggets.

The Nuggets are an offensive team, and that's been a well-known thing for the first two years. After Telfair came to the Nuggets, he spliced outstanding ball handling ability, young and energetic body, and immediately squeezed out Anthony Carter and ascended to the team's main starting position.

Although his rhythm control ability is average, he has also worked with Jefferson for a year after all, and the tacit understanding between the two has a certain foundation, so Telfair's speed of integration into the team is very amazing, and many media exclaimed that the Nuggets and the Timberwolves made a win-win deal!

In this case, the two teams met again.

As a result, in the target center, at the Timberwolves' own home court, Zheng Ke could no longer find the state of the last 52-point slash, and the whole game, the Timberwolves lost their hands in the starters, except for Lefou, who was in a bit hot state.

The Timberwolves' own frame seemed to refuse to allow their players to shoot the ball, and the players suddenly turned into blacksmiths, and the sound of ping-pong iron was constant.

The Nuggets' feel here is also very average, but it is better than the Timberwolves, and the Nuggets have far fewer mistakes in this game than the Timberwolves, Telfair seems to prove himself, playing his peak state, combing the Nuggets' offense in an orderly manner, and the Nuggets only have 7 turnovers in the whole game.

In the end, the Timberwolves lost to the Nuggets at home, losing by 23 points at 84-107, and Anthony didn't get off the court in the fourth quarter, and he smiled so much that his face was wrinkled.

It's really happy, Anthony thought to himself: I have finally avenged last month's one-shot revenge

The game against the Nuggets was too depressing, the Timberwolves were out of shape, and the fans withdrew from the court one after another before the fourth quarter was over.

Zheng Ke hit only 9 of his 23 shots, and although he scored a game-high 28 points, it was all based on high shots, and in essence, Zheng Ke didn't like to score like this, which would make him feel very inefficient.

On Saturday, the Timberwolves take on the Spurs on the road.

It was a relatively scorching game, and the Timberwolves played their own style, and the Spurs' Parker was very limited by Billups, scoring only 11 points in the game. Zheng Ke also performed well, he single-handedly blew up the Spurs' outside line, and the Spurs couldn't find anyone to limit Zheng Ke.

But the Timberwolves' interior line was completely blown up by Duncan.

For the first time, Anderson noticed that there seemed to be a problem with the timing of each of his jumps, and sometimes when he jumped, Duncan passed to Matt Bonner, who was squishy in the back; Sometimes he jumps, but Duncan is a feint, and he can easily shoot after a staggered step; If he didn't jump, then Duncan could have just done it alone, he's 32 years old, but he's still steady like an 18-year-old.

The 32-year-old Duncan was on the inside of the Timberwolves, and he was on a hot streak, scoring 32 points and 17 rebounds to allow the Spurs to hold the Timberwolves at bay and win 97-89.

The Timberwolves lost two in a row, and the Mavericks surpassed the Timberwolves in terms of record, and the Timberwolves returned to the 7th position.

The Timberwolves' terrifying schedule is not over yet, after the game against the Spurs, the Timberwolves met the Lakers, who are second in the West, and on Monday night in Staples, the Lakers won a seven-man double-double against a slightly tired Timberwolves.

Bynum grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds and Fisher dished out a game-high 11 assists as the Lakers won 98-86 at home.

The Timberwolves suffered a three-game losing streak!

This is the first consecutive defeat since the start of the season, but to everyone's expectations, the atmosphere in the Timberwolves is still not panicked, although everyone feels a trace of pressure, but everyone is not a rookie, and it has long been understood that there will be no winning generals in this league, and it is normal to lose to the Nuggets, Spurs and Lakers.

Among them, Lefou's mood was a little depressed. Whitman went out of his way to find Love after the game, and he gave the young player a simple psychological coaching, telling him not to be mentally burdened, the team will always get better, and to believe in himself. Under Whitman's words, Lefu finally passed this hurdle.

The three-game losing streak also allowed the Timberwolves, who had been in a hot state during this time, to keep a low profile, and people refocused on the top teams such as the Cavaliers and the Rockets.

The Timberwolves challenged the Kings back-to-back on Tuesday.

Everyone walked out of the shadow of three consecutive defeats with a hearty victory, and the Timberwolves suppressed the bottom team in the West that suffered injuries throughout the process!

Martin, the star of the Kings team, was unable to play due to injury, which made the Kings, who had lost to the Timberwolves, even worse. If it weren't for the eye-catching performances of scorers such as Garcia, Salmons and Dante Green, perhaps the winner would have been separated at half-time.

In the end, the Timberwolves won 119-103 against the Kings.

Zheng Ke scored a game-high 32 points on 13-of-23 shooting, and Lefu scored 15 rebounds. (To be continued......)
