Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Showdown of the Future First Point Guard

"Two Straight Defeats, Real Timberwolves" - Los Angeles Times.

"The Blown Wood Wood, the Zuihou Redemption of the Timberwolves" - "ESPN".

"A Joke, Future No. 1 Point Guard" - Denver Plateau.

……

The two consecutive defeats have brought the Timberwolves to the bottom, and it has made all Timberwolves fans realize that this team has not changed dramatically because of the arrival of rookie Linson, and it is not that winning strong teams like the Washington Wizards and the Los Angeles Clippers can fantasize about the future of the United States.

The media mercilessly attacked the Timberwolves and rookie Lin Sen.

However, there are still people who stand up to support Lin Sen, but there are few of them.

"I've said a long time ago that Wood isn't the kind of player who can make an immediate change to the team, he needs room to grow, and the Timberwolves need to be patient." Adam Claxton, the author of Linson's draft scouting report, said in an interview with the media.

ESPN columnist Chris Sherdan also expressed his opinion in his column: "Yes, Wood needs others to wait for his growth, but the NBA is a business stage, if he can't give his boss a future to look forward to, then he doesn't deserve to be waited, I don't know what Minnesota thinks, if the trade rumors are true I advise them not to hesitate, the Warriors are not in dizziness all the time." ”

And soon someone confirmed that the trade plan proposed by the Warriors was true, which caused a thousand waves.

The Warriors' uniforms, led by Chris Mullin, became synonymous with stupidity overnight.

Even Timberwolves fans are tempted by the trade plan exposed by the media to leave a message on the Timberwolves' official website to trade Lin Sen for a more beautiful future.

"Wood, what do you think about you being traded, is this a bad moment in the face?"

"Wood, do you have any thoughts on the next owner, the Golden State Warriors?"

"Wood, do you think you're going to be traded?"

"Wood, is it because you've been playing poorly lately because there's less woman on the sidelines to support you?"

……

Lin Sen squeezed out a smile: "I need to participate in training." ”

Every step from the circle of reporters to the arena was difficult, and he had already confirmed the truth of the trade rumors from David Falck.

Although not as exaggerated as the media rumors, even he himself was shocked by the Warriors' handiwork.

In the words of David Falke, it shows that the Warriors value Linson.

However, David Falke still stressed that even if he is traded away tomorrow, he will give 100% of his strength today.

The man who decided the victory was Linson, who stepped up when Garnett was unable to contain Pau Gasol's attack.

Lin Sen's non-answer made the reporters even more excited, because it largely illustrated the truth of the rumors.

That night, the Grizzlies sat at the FedEx Center to welcome the Minnesota Timberwolves, who had lost two in a row.

The Grizzlies, as the team that broke into the playoffs three years in a row, like the Nuggets, failed to advance for three years, and what is even more tragic is that they have lost 12 playoffs in a row in three years and failed to win even one game.

They are still in good form in the new season, and the two-game losing Timberwolves and rookie Linson are in a slump and are stuck in trade rumors, and most people are optimistic about the Grizzlies to win.

Against flying squirrel Damon Stoudemire, Linson scored just six points in the first half.

The Timberwolves also trailed the Grizzlies by five points at the end of the first half, and just when people thought that Linson's form would continue to be sluggish and the Timberwolves would swallow a three-game losing streak, Linson exploded.

Linson scored 14 points in the third quarter to help the Timberwolves complete the comeback and take a five-point lead.

In the fourth quarter, after Linson returned to the court, he sent two assists in a row to help Garnett and Jaric score, helping the Timberwolves regain the lead.

With one minute and 30 seconds left before the end of the game, Linson first made a steal and a fast-break dunk, then grabbed a backcourt rebound and returned to the offensive end to shake off fellow rookie Rudy Gay's defense and rush inside.

In the face of Paul Gasol, who is tall and long-armed, he not only made a successful throw, but also caused Gasol to foul.

This foul directly caused Gasol to leave the court with six fouls, and Lin Sen steadily hit a free throw, and one person scored five points in a row to help the Timberwolves extend their lead to six points in 45 seconds.

Zuihou's Grizzlies who were missing Bear King Paul Gasol couldn't pull off a miracle after 45 seconds, and the Timberwolves ended the team's two-game losing streak with a five-point victory over the Grizzlies at home.

Lin Sen, who scored 29 points and 15 assists in the game, shined all over the court.

The excellent performance did not make the doubts disappear, but made many people think that Lin Sen was bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.

This view is also supported by many people, after all, Linson will not play well against players like Baron Davis, Kobe Bryant and Andre Miller in the new season.

Devin Casey did not take Linson to the post-match press conference, fearing that Linson would be overwhelmed by the long guns and short shots of reporters.

In his postgame press conference, Devin Casey vehemently denied the Warriors' proposed trade proposal and repeatedly insisted that the Timberwolves would not choose to trade Linson, who is the future of the Timberwolves.

But who would believe it?

The win over the Grizzlies didn't put the Timberwolves at ease, and the Timberwolves returned to Minnesota overnight to await the arrival of the Hawks.

But fortunately, the Hawks are not a strong team but a weak team to avoid the bottom of the league, so this makes many Timberwolves fans expect the team to win.

The Hawks' failure to retain Al Harrington in the offseason further reduced the team's strength.

In the draft, the Hawks chose instead of the point guard the team needed the most reinforcements, but instead chose Shelton Williams of Duke University.

This gave the Timberwolves the opportunity to choose Linson on their heels, and although Linson was in trouble, he was much better overall than Sheldon Williams.

Sheldon Williams has made a limited contribution in his limited playing time.

"We don't regret choosing Shelton, he's our future and he can grow to the point where we need to." Hawks head coach Mike Woodson said this in an interview before the Timberwolves and Hawks game.

But in fact, except for the Hawks, who still think that Sheldon Williams will be the next defensive gate, they all believe that he can only be a decent blue-collar player.

The Hawks added Claxton and Tyrone Lue to the guard line in the offseason, two championship-experienced veterans, but Claxton was injured at the start of the season.

This makes Tyronn Lue, the veteran who once took the initiative to defend Iverson in the '01 Finals, become the one Linson needs to play against in the whole court.

Just three minutes into the game, Woodson had to switch up Joe Johnson and Tyronn Lue, but it didn't work out well.

Linson continued his excellent form from the previous game, and in the middle of the first quarter he shook off Joe Johnson and rushed to the basket.

Josh Smith Linson, who was facing the defense, did not choose to pass the ball, but jumped up when he was still a big step from the reasonable collision zone, and dunked the ball into the basket with his right hand against Josh Smith's block.

After landing on the ground, Lin Sen slapped his chest hard at the audience, and this picture was used by the media to describe Lin Sen's pent-up pressure in his heart.

In the end, the Timberwolves solved the door-to-door challenge of the Hawks bloodlessly at home, and Linson once again scored 24 points, 12 assists and 4 steals.

The two consecutive games have given Devin Casey and McHale some insistence, but Linson will be in the next scene against his good friend Chris Paul.

"Friends Meet, Future No. 1 Point Guard Showdown" - The New York Times.

One is the rookie Lin Sen who tried to prove himself with two excellent performances, and the other is Chris Paul, who has become the leader of the team.

The two collegiate champions faced off for the first time in a year.
