The Golden State Warriors have missed the playoffs for 12 consecutive seasons, the longest in NBA history, and the pressure on Chris Mullin ahead of the new season is understandable.

In order for the team to break this embarrassing record, Chris Mullin fired last season's head coach Montgomery and brought in Nelson Sr., who had coached the Warriors.

"Mad Scientist" Nelson Sr., the second-most winning coach in history, although he has not led the team to the O'Brien Cup, no one can deny his greatness.

His coaching style is unusually distinct, with offense in the team's blood, as is the case with the Warriors in the new season, and the frantic offensive rhythm has left a lasting impression on people.

Giving people a taste of another offense-oriented team outside of the Phoenix Suns.

As the leader of the Warriors, Baron Davis also got rid of injuries in the new season, averaging 23 points, 8 assists and 2.5 steals per game for the Warriors, and is one of the hottest players in the new season.

Baron Davis had embarrassed Linsen in the preseason, and many people who were looking forward to seeing Linsen's jokes couldn't wait for the game to start.

On the morning of Nov. 15, a full ten hours before the evening's game, the Timberwolves were working on pregame practice.

Linson passed the ball to Garnett on the inside, and then quickly turned on the spot and ran to the other side.

Jarric's well-timed cover allowed Linson to get out of Ricky Davis' mark, and Garnett's ball was immediately passed.

Lin Sen received the ball and threw it, and the ball got into the basket cleanly.

"Smack! Syllable! Good job, KG you can go a little faster, Wood, can't you get a little closer or farther? Devin Casey shouted at the audience.

"It's a buy-one-get-two-metre mid-range shot." Lin Sen joked.

"Wood, if you can be so confident with your mid-range shots, then I'd love to hear you tell these awesome jokes every day."

Lin Sen glanced at Garnett helplessly: "OK, KG, you have to believe me, one day I will practice this damn mid-range shooting well." ”

"Wish I could see that day." Garnett said with a smile.

After the morning's practice, Devin Casey once again organized the whole team to watch the video of the Warriors' games for the new season.

Linson, on the other hand, was replaying the preseason game against the Warriors, which was Linson's first setback.

Now that Lin Sen thinks about it, he can remember how strong and powerful Baron Davis's big ass was that day.

At noon, the NBA officially announced the Most Valuable Player of the Week for the second week of the new season, and Linsen, who was nominated in the first week, was nominated again, while Garnett was named the Most Valuable Player of the Week in the West for the second week after the first week of nomination.

At the same time, the league officially announced the latest rookie rankings.

After finishing second in the first week of the regular season, Linson once again ranked second in the rookie position, although this list is only a reference, it still caused strong dissatisfaction among Timberwolves fans and Linson fans.

At the top of the list is No. 7 pick Brandon Roy of the Portland Trail Blazers, whose 3-4 record in the new season is far worse than the Timberwolves' 5-1.

And although Brandon Roy was able to contribute an average of 16.4 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game in the first seven games, it is undoubtedly much worse than Linson's average of 22 points, 13 assists, 4 steals and 5 rebounds per game.

So Timberwolves fans and Linson fans lashed out at the official rankings for being unfair.

There are many objections on the message board of the NBA's official website.

"I think the head of the person in this ranking must be full of, and everyone can see that Wood is a hundred times better than Brandon."

"Wood is only second? Did he think Wood had a decimal point missing from every game? I guess it's either my eyes that have a problem, or the ranking bullshit expert has a problem with his head. ”

……

Of course, if there is opposition, there will also be support.

"His stats, yes, that's really good, like a superstar, but just because he's stats great doesn't mean he can really match his stats, and he's nowhere near as good as Brandon defensively or offensively."

"He has a player like Kevin Garnett who can help his teammates become more hode, and Brandon doesn't, and I put Brandon in Minnesota and I believe Brandon can easily contribute 20+7+7 super stats per game."

"Wood is so much worse than Brandon, he's still working on his terrible mid-range shots, oh, he'd better worry about his game tonight, BD will let him know how bad his defense is."

……

David Stern didn't expect a rookie ranking to cause quite a stir, which made David Stern a surprise.

For David Stern, as long as it is good for the league, nothing else matters, and Linson is also the signature of his future league, and Linson's performance at the beginning of the new season is really good, and even far exceeds his expectations.

So David Stern is happy to see these controversies, because controversies can bring more exposure.

Continuous exposure will be known to more people, and Lin Sen is obviously better than many people in this regard.

Coupled with Lin Sen's yellow skin and point guard position, as well as a pleasing style of play, it is destined that Lin Sen will be more popular after vigorously packaging and promoting.

Originally, the Timberwolves vs. the Warriors, a game that was not considered a strong conversation, and ordinary games also received more attention.

However, Devin Casey and Kevin McHale were a little upset, as McHale received a call about Chris Mullin on the day of the game.

On the phone, Chris Mullin directly expressed the idea that the Timberwolves could trade Linson to the Warriors.

McHale made it clear to Mullin that Linson was not for sale, but that didn't dissuade the Warriors' covetousness.

'Wood is a really great little guy and I admire him and if I had coached him I would have made him even better than he is now.' Nelson Sr. said in a pre-match interview.

This made Devin Casey angry, and Nelson Sr. said in front of everyone that he lacked coaching ability.

Devin Casey responded with a smile to the media: "Of course, he coaching Wood will make Wood better, but in my opinion, the only thing he says is better is that Wood's scoring will go straight to 30 points, even if he wins the scoring title, I don't doubt it, but one thing I believe is that Wood will completely stay away from the top players, because he will not teach Wood any defensive skills at all." ”

Nelson, who has been in the league for more than 20 years, didn't care at all about Devin Casey's backlash: "Isn't the offense bad?" He's got an unrivalled talent for attacking, and in my opinion they're killing him, and I know he's hungry for offense and not damn passing, and a haode coach will make him even better. ”

However, it was a little surprising that Baron Davis did not have any evaluation of Lin Sen, and it was as plain as usual.

"BD's Confidence" -- The San Francisco Chronicle was even more prepared to use such a headline after the Warriors' victory.

At eight o'clock in the evening of November 15, Kevin Garnett and the handsome Latvian Biedrins stood in the center circle waiting for the whistle to blow.

Lin Sen glanced at Baron Davis beside him and looked intently at the ball in the referee's hand.

The race is imminent!
