Chris Kyle's performance in the first quarter of the game obviously did not satisfy Coach Philip, but in the face of such a young player, Coach Philip still released great tolerance.

That is, after teaching Chris a few words during the break, after the start of the second quarter of the game, Chris Kyle still stayed on the court.

Chris Kyle was a second-round pick in 1995 and was also a 27th-round pick in the second round.

is a low-pick rookie.

Normally, an average coach would not be able to give each other leniency to such a rookie. But in today's game against the Suns, Coach Philip really did it.

The coach's behavior can't help but make the other players feel strange too.

And Chris Kyle, who is back on the field, is not angry at the coach's reprimand.

On the contrary, Chris Kyle was very happy to be able to continue playing in the second season, and he was grateful to Coach Philip for being willing to "mend" him, and he was also grateful to Coach Philip for giving him the opportunity to play.

If today's opponent is another team, then Chris Kyle will not want to stay on the field so much, so he wants to show his value.

But today's opponent is the Sun!

As mentioned earlier, Chris Kyle was a second-round pick in '95, and the team that selected him at that time was the Suns team opposite!

He played a season with the Suns, playing a total of 60 games, including 10 starts, and averaging 4 points, 0.7 assists and 1.7 rebounds while averaging less than 10 minutes per game.

Chris Kyle feels that he is not playing badly, and as long as he is given time, he will be able to adapt to the game and play at a better level.

But alas, Suns management didn't have the patience to waste time on a rookie with a low second-round pick and sent Chris to the Timberwolves the following year.

After arriving at the Timberwolves, Chris Kyle obviously did not get the reuse of the coaching staff, before the Timberwolves had Ryder, and then the Timberwolves selected Ray Allen, although Ray Allen did not play in the Timberwolves and replaced Marbury, but Marbury is also a player in a point guard role.

In the Timberwolves' 96-97 season, Chris's average playing time rose to 15 points per game, and his average points per game came to 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists.

Although he can't say how good it is, as a second-round player, his performance is already quite good.

Since Wudao came to the Timberwolves, Chris Kyle's playing time has been relatively stable, with an average playing time of 20~24 minutes per game, and his average scoring data has also improved to 8 points per game, although there has not been much improvement in rebounding, but in terms of assists, it has soared to 3.2.

Chris is evolving from an "inferior" bench to a "good sixth man", and the main reason for this is the change in the team's offensive system.

When Takeshi is on the floor, Chris only needs to focus on one thing, that is, how to find ways to give the ball to Takemi, and then how to run out of the open space after the ball.

For the rest of the messy things, the team will naturally have special people to do.

Chris doesn't have to think about attacking the defense, he doesn't have to think about tearing up the defense with his own breakthroughs, and after removing some things that he is not very good at, Chris is also moving in the direction of 3D.

He is 196cm tall, weighs 96kg, and has a good speed, and when facing the average small guard, his figure is actually very advantageous, Chris actually has the potential to be a qualified defender, but the Timberwolves of the original time and space need the players of the guard line to take on more ball-holding tasks.

Before the martial arts came, the Timberwolves' outside firepower was quite unstable, and the damage of attacking the basket was not strong enough.

But as Takeshi became a member of the Timberwolves and rapidly grew into the boss of the team, the offense of the whole team went up a notch.

Chris just needs to do his job well to be able to hand in good enough point guard stats.

It's just that Chris himself, it seems, hasn't realized it yet.

In the second quarter of the game between the Timberwolves and the Suns, neither team made any substitutions, and the score in the first quarter was too tight.

"Chris, cherish the opportunity to play and do your job!"

"You're not like Marbury, you don't have to be Marbury, you can prove your worth in other ways!"

Before going on the court, Wu Dao walked to Chris's side, gently hugged Chris's shoulder, and whispered in the other party's ear.

Regarding the distribution of the remaining ball in the team, Wu Dao has no way to directly say who plays and who can't, which is not what he, a player, should do.

But the current martial arts can influence the players in the team in other ways.

Wu Dao doesn't have to tell Chris that you are not suitable for holding the ball, even if it is a reminder and encouragement, Wu Dao can also convey his meaning to other players.

There was no problem at all with what he said to others, and even when Chris heard this, he subconsciously felt that Martial Arts was a continuation of Coach Philip's opinion.

He immediately nodded and gave Wu Dao a "you can rest assured" expression.

Receiving Chris's exact response, Takemichi smiled and entered the court.

On the sidelines, Coach Philip noticed the interaction between Wu Dao and Chris, and was not happy.

Talking so much to Chris, is it because he is very optimistic about Chris?

Neuropathy. A rookie is just a second-round show, and if he doesn't play well, he will be replaced directly, and if he is not happy, he will be traded away, he is a Timberwolves head coach, will he care about this kind of "leftovers"?

He's going to talk so much to Chris just to get Chris firmly on his side!

In Chris's game against his old club, give him a chance and play time, that's his gift to Chris! If Chris is sensible, he knows how to repay him as a manager in the future.

Although Martial Arts seems to be getting along well with any player in the team, Philip can see that Martial Arts and the players really get along with ordinary teammates.

This relationship is more like Jordan and Rodman than the imaginary "brothers" in the minds of those black players.

Philip has never extinguished the idea of controlling the team, Takedo is the boss of the team, he agrees, but in the same way, Philip also intends to separate Takedo's on-court influence from the locker room.

Players with a strong influence on the field will only attract fans.

But the influential players in the locker room can unite with other players to completely empty him as a manager.

Philip doesn't plan to deliberately stumble others when players are competing, this operation is too low for today's martial arts. But that doesn't mean that this Timberwolves will operate according to the wishes of the martial arts.

Whatever tactics the coach wants to play, the team has to play.

It's not that what tactics Martial Arts wants to play, what tactics the team has to play.

If the players listen to martial arts when they play, then why does he sit on the coach's bench, isn't it good to have a dog?! You can also save a lot of wages!

This is the core interest of Philip, or rather, the core interest of the coach, and no one else will be allowed to touch it.

Although martial arts has not yet shown such signs, but a lot of preparations, Philip is going to do it now, and when martial arts shows signs of "ball dominance", if he is not prepared, he will be the coach.

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon in the NBA.

The coach drives the team not to play, the team does not play according to the coach's tactics, and the final result is either the coach is dismissed, or the thorn is kicked out of the team.

Philip is still self-aware of one thing, he doesn't feel that in the eyes of the boss, his status can be higher than martial arts, and once the conflict arises, he will definitely be kicked.

But

If he can control the other members of the Timberwolves to be obedient, even if Wu Dao is a thorn like Jordan, he has 10,000 ways to treat him.

Philip's careful thoughts, will the martial arts not know?

Some of the words that Philip had taught Chris before were alluding to him.

What is it called "Martial Arts didn't go in, you went in?" ”； What is called "Minnesota ball tyrant, one to two, one to three." ”

This is simply saying that martial arts playing is unreasonable.

The only difference between Martial Arts' ball style and Chris's in the first quarter is that Martial Arts can score, Chris can't, that's all

In terms of choice, it is not suitable, which is one thing that Philip is very impressed.

It's just that it is impossible for Wu Dao to rush to Philip and refute what he said, "You fart, one hit two, one hit three, how can you be a ball bully?" ”

All he had to do was tell Philip that my unreasonableness was actually reasonable!

At the same time, he also wants to tell Chris, "You have something that suits you, you don't have to learn from me." ”

Although Marbury is being said in the martial arts words, what does the martial arts mean, Chris who listened to those words is actually very clear.

On the court, you have to play against the Suns, and off the court, you have to secretly compete with the coach. Wu Dao didn't feel physically and mentally exhausted about this, but he liked it more.

He doesn't think it's a bad thing, if Philip is a star pendant, Wu Dao will think that the Timberwolves have no future.

Takeshi feels that his skills are excellent, but he does not naively think that his technical and tactical level is higher than that of the NCAA famous coaches, nor does he think that his management skills can surpass Philip.

In some ways, he is forward-looking, but in order to win a championship, it is not enough to be forward-looking.

A player's good ball skills does not mean that he can be a manager, and in this regard, Jordan has a lot of say.

If the Bulls were Jordan's words, they wouldn't have won six crowns.

The second quarter of the game between the Timberwolves and the Suns officially began with the Suns serving in the backcourt.

As soon as the second quarter began, Kidd performed a "drifting iron" under the defense of Martial Arts. I don't know what this brother is thinking in his head, he would make such a reluctant move.

As the basketball collapsed out of the basket, the Timberwolves were unable to protect the backcourt rebound, and the Suns' Antonio McDyce scored a rebound.

This guy was the No. 2 pick in the first round in '95, and he was paired with Garnett, and his personal ability was very good, and he once won the best rookie team for a while.

There are also some small advantages in today's matchup with Garnett.

With the basketball in the net, the difference between the two teams narrowed.

Martial Arts didn't pay too much attention to Antonio McDyce, but quickly pushed back.

Like the strict defense of martial arts in the first quarter, the Suns' defensive focus is still on martial arts.

However, this time, Chris obviously had a little more patience when holding the ball at the top of the arc, and while not rushing to play the ball, he was also concentrating on protecting the ball and waiting for the opportunity to appear.

The entire offensive rhythm of the Timberwolves also slowed down.

With plenty of time to run, it becomes very difficult for the Suns to defend themselves against receiving the ball from the outside.

Takeshi quickly rushed to the basket from the right elbow area, and then ran out of the outside line from the left side to catch the ball under Ben Wallace's delay.

At the same time, Tom, who was originally standing in the corner position in the left area, fell to the bottom corner, and the players who defended Tom saw that Kidd, who was chasing Martial Arts, was several positions behind, and they also hurriedly came to fill in the position of Martial Arts.

At the same time, Chris sensed that an opportunity appeared on the side of the martial arts, and with the help of his excellent height, he quickly jumped up and passed the ball to the side of the martial arts.

Wu Dao, who ran back, stepped on the three-point line, and the basketball was also a quick sweep of the basket.

As soon as the basketball was in his hands, Wu Dao quickly shook the ball in his left hand to Tom in the bottom left corner, and the Suns player who had just let go of Tom to fill in the position immediately took a footstep, "kicked" and took two steps back, and was about to prepare to turn back to defend.

But Wu Dao, who made the ball action, quickly collected the ball, raised his eyes and swept towards the basket, and the basketball in his hand suddenly lifted up.

His actions also instantly alerted Kidd, who was pursuing.

"Could it be a feint?"

Although he had such a judgment in his heart, the movements of Kidd's body were completely unable to ignore the movements of the martial arts, and he subconsciously raised his hands in an attempt to block the sight of the martial arts.

And at this time, Wu Dao, who was holding the ball high, suddenly dropped the ball in front of him, and his left hand exploded the ball, and his body quickly sprinted forward, and when the basketball rebounded, Wu Dao's right hand quickly grabbed the basketball.

The moment he crossed Kidd, Wu Dao dribbled again, and then stepped on the sideline of the paint area and flew directly into the air.

Antonio McDyes's defense was very timely, and he raised his hands high to try to block, but Wen Wudao, who was gliding on the basket, grabbed the ball with his right hand and suddenly pulled the lever, avoiding the block, and the basketball was also hooked to the basket by Wudao.

"Smack!"

Behind Antonio McDyce, the spinning basketball grazed the rebound on the right side and bounced back into the nets with a crunch.

The figure of Wu Dao landed, smiling and pointing at the little fans in the nearest audience, and the audience suddenly erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Targeted interaction with the audience in the stands can mobilize the enthusiasm of the audience.

Wu Dao has played so many games, and he also understands this truth.

Players in the commercial league, while having excellent ball skills, also need "hundreds of millions" of emotional intelligence. You can be "angry" like Iverson, but when you don't have enough, you have to suffer from the audience.

Smart people should be crazy when they should be crazy, and when they should lower their posture, they should lower their posture.

Martial Arts doesn't mind making a good impression on the audience, it's only good for him, and there's no harm in it.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Timberwolves opened the situation by Wu Dao, and Wu Dao's goal also made the Suns' players feel a little bad.
