The "group fight" incident between the Timberwolves and the Suns is naturally heinous in the mouths of the media, and the league has also punished this matter.

Wallace's personal ban and fine are specific penalties from the league.

Obviously, such a punishment naturally has no way to satisfy some impure media. What they want to see is not a punishment for Wallace.

Today's Wallace is just an inside bench for the Timberwolves in the eyes of everyone, and whether the league punishes such a player or not is irrelevant to those media.

What the media wants to see is that the league will punish the martial arts that encourage the players to do it, preferably with a direct ban, which is a pretty good thing for other teams.

It's just a pity that the coalition will not act according to the will of those media.

Martial arts is no longer a small person in the league now, whether active or passive, fans have known the name of this supernova in the league since the game between the Timberwolves and the Bulls.

When talking about Jordan, it is inevitable to mention Wu Dao, a rookie player who competes with Jordan on the court, and even faintly suppresses the elderly Jordan.

If Takemichi had just played that good game, his name would have been forgotten by the fans very quickly. After all, there are too many excellent players in this league, and it is not new for certain players to perform amazingly in a certain game.

But martial arts are different, before his game with the bulls, his personal data was quite eye-catching, and after the game with the bulls, martial arts also scored high scores in a row.

Martial Arts, which is at the top of this season's scoring list, is also at the top of the rookie list, and has already gained the love of a large number of fans without his own knowledge.

In the 90s, the Chinese community living in Laomei was also quite large, and the fan base of martial arts was much larger than he imagined.

Although Martial Arts focuses on the court, his commercial value has long attracted the attention of many people, and the management of the league is not stupid.

The thinking of the media is completely different from that of the NBA league management, they see the side market from the body of martial arts, and everyone is thinking about how to tap the Asian market behind martial arts, how can it be possible to ban martial arts at this juncture?

In such an environment.

The Timberwolves host the Trail Blazers on Jan. 9.

This is not the first time that the Timberwolves have competed with such a strong team, although it is a "rematch", but the Timberwolves still show great importance to the Trail Blazers.

From the beginning of the season to now, the Trail Blazers have a good record of 19 wins and 13 losses, although there is a considerable gap with the Timberwolves in terms of record, but this does not prevent the Trail Blazers from being a strong team.

In this game, the Timberwolves did not play easily.

Wallace's suspension has actually had a very limited impact on the Timberwolves' hard power, and the Timberwolves' difficulty is not because of Wallace's absence.

The Trail Blazers have done quite full research on the Timberwolves before the game, and they have played against the Timberwolves, so they have a correct understanding of the strength of the Timberwolves.

At the same time, as martial arts is playing more and more games in the league, the excellent performance on the field has long been seen by the coaching staff of other players.

During the regular season, the main thing for an NBA coach is to grind in on his own team and observe other teams at the same time.

But in the regular season, there are four or five games a day, and sometimes there are even a dozen or so games a day, and it is impossible for the coaching staff of any team to watch so many games.

And some of these matches are live, and some are not.

The NBA's coaches tend to only select some of the most representative games to watch, and the rest is watched by video analysts, and the team is selected to talk to the players when they are free, and most of this happens after the end of the regular season and before the playoffs begin!

At this time, the disadvantage of the player's fame appears.

The martial arts record is outstanding, and it has been touted by some media as "Michael's successor", and now the Timberwolves' record is the first in the West.

Wu Dao's personal style of ball has naturally become the focus of research for the coaching staff of various NBA teams.

The Pioneers, naturally, are also one of these teams.

The offensive means of martial arts are abundant, the breakthrough technology is quite good, and the threat of projection is even above Michael Jordan, and the pioneers found that there is no so-called "blind spot" in the offense of martial arts after some analysis, and the breakthrough habits of martial arts seem to be traceless.

After realizing the trickiness of martial arts, the Trail Blazers did not come up with any "awesome" defensive tactics, but just copied the experience of the league's defense of Michael Jordan and then used it on martial arts

Whenever Wu Dao Dan catches the ball, the player who defends him will immediately stick up, and the opponent's defense has no intention of blocking the martial arts projection at all, nor does it mean how to prevent the martial arts from breaking through.

The opponent's way of playing is very simple, that is, he keeps giving physical confrontation, forcing martial arts to consume more physical energy, and he is also very daring to make moves when defending.

And what is even more terrifying is the Trail Blazers' defense of the inside, but whenever the Trail Warriors rush forward with the ball, the Trail Blazers' players will pull the Trail Warriors down from the air even if they are hugging.

Various types of fouls cut this game to pieces, and Wu Dao was often sent to the free throw line, and he basically didn't have the time to score smoothly.

After the two quarters, even the martial arts felt a deep exhaustion, which was not only physical, but also mental.

The opponent's frequent foul actions will inevitably make Wu Dao feel a little irritable.

After half the game, Takemichi's individual score was "only" 17 points, many of which were scored by free throws.

After sensing the defensive pressure on Takedo, Marbury reduced the ball to Takedo at the behest of coach Philip.

This time, it's not that Philip wants to use this way to weaken the discourse of martial arts.

The purpose of his doing this is also to feel the pressure brought by the Trail Blazers, hoping that Martial Arts can reduce the ball and avoid injury in such a fierce game.

In Philip's view, martial arts is still young, and it will take some time to get used to such a "playoff" intensity.

At the end of the first half, the Timberwolves led by six points at 47:41.

In the second half, the Trail Blazers' defense of Takedo was further strengthened, and Takedo was replaced early by Philip in only 19 minutes of 24 minutes of the second half of the two-quarter game.

In the second half of the game, Wudao's personal state was also drastically affected, and his personal score was "only" 11 points.

From the beginning of the season to the present, in this series of games in which Takedo has gradually established the status of the team's boss, Takemichi's individual score is rarely less than 30 points, and his offensive efficiency and level today have also returned to the level of "normal superstar".

His previous offensive performance was often hitting 110; The 120 points in the small-ball era is also amazing.

In today's nineties, it was a complete horror.

At the end of the game, the Timberwolves won the game 101-91, and the Timberwolves who won the game were naturally very happy.

But strangely, the losing Trail Blazers players didn't show much disappointment.

Although the ball was lost, their players also found that players like Martial Arts were not incapable of dealing with.

The Trail Blazer's Isiah Ryder played 42 minutes in this game, which is a lot longer than Budo's 33 minutes, but his personal score also reached 32 points, which is better than Budo's statistics.

In addition to Ryder, the Trail Blazers also had three players score in double figures.

If it weren't for the fact that Avedas Sabonis, known as the "Roof of the World", played a bit of a wave today, their Trail Blazers would have a chance to beat the Timberwolves.

He was a big center and even shot three three-pointers in today's game, and none of them were scored.

This 221cm big man still has a somewhat changeable style of play.

After the game with the Trail Blazers, the Timberwolves also took a charter flight non-stop and left Minnesota.

After playing the Trail Blazers at home, the Timberwolves will play the Nets on the road.

It was a back-to-back game.

Yesterday's game between the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers was also very meaningful for the Nets.

That night, when the Nets played against the Timberwolves, the defensive defense against Wudao could be said to be exactly the same as yesterday's game.

And what's worse is that the games between the Timberwolves and the Nets are back-to-back, starting with an away match, and the referee's whistle has an obvious bias towards the Nets.

The player who played against Martial Arts in this game was Keith Van Horn, a player who was also familiar to Martial Arts, who was the same year as Martial Arts in '97, and he was the second pick in the first round, just below Duncan.

The Nets have won 18-15 since the beginning of the season, and Keith Van Horn, known as "Bird's second", has long been corrected by the team.

The Nets are considered a "bad team", and Keith Van Horn has high hopes for the Nets' coaching staff.

And he didn't live up to the opportunities given to him by management, averaging nearly 20 points per game since the beginning of the season, and if it weren't for the fact that martial arts was too dazzling, Keith Van Horn would probably be able to compete for the best rookie.

Judging from the current situation, whether it is personal data or team records, Wudao will be the best candidate for the "best rookie".

As for what martial arts have gotten, that kind of thing, there is no way to take it as easy and put it on the table.

Keith Van Horn is 208cm tall and weighs 100kg, although there is a certain gap between his physique and martial arts, but what he has to do is just keep up with the movements of martial arts.

In addition to having a one-on-one opportunity outside the three-point line, Wudao has to face one-on-two or even one-on-three most of the time.

His shot became much more difficult.

Although his strength is very strong, his movements will inevitably be deformed when two NBA-level players are pasted.

The final victory between the Timberwolves and the Nets was the Timberwolves, 111-103, with a lead of only 8 points.

Wudao played 41 minutes and scored 37 points, although the data is very eye-catching, but those who have watched the game can see that Wudao played very hard.

Keith Van Horn, who was opposite him, also scored 14 points, and under the defensive pressure of Wu Dao, he was able to find a gap to suddenly shoot cold arrows, I have to say that Keith Van Horn's ability had to let Wu Dao Gao take a look, and he still underestimated this childhood show.

After playing two "playoff-level" games back-to-back at high intensity, Takeshi gradually realized that he needed more rich tactical support.

This can greatly increase his offensive variety, so that he does not have to play so tired.

Those teams have already started to study him, study the Timberwolves, and the basic pick-and-roll movement is already difficult to create more opportunities for the martial arts.

Of course, if it's just one game, Takeshi can play a whole game with the ball, but if it's back-to-back games or playoff games, this style of play will definitely not last.

After the game against the Nets, the Timberwolves rushed back to Minnesota, and after a day of rest, the Timberwolves faced the Warriors at home.

The Warriors are obviously much better, and although their defense against Martial Arts is also very serious, they will not use "playoff intensity" to deal with Martial Arts.

In this ball, the Timberwolves also beat the Warriors 103:87, this ball, Wu Dao played two quarters, and "casually" cut 26 points and clocked out of work.

Playing a weak team, Wu Dao hopes to give himself more time to rest and adjust, his current goal is different from when he just entered the Timberwolves, rather than "brushing points" on the court, it is better to let other substitutes have the opportunity to experience and play.

If they want to compete for the championship, not to mention that they must have two lineups, the most basic 8-man rotation must be there, right?

According to the current roster configuration of the Timberwolves, there is no one who can be regarded as an excellent rotation, and Mitchell and Wallace can only be counted as half.

In fact, their team is still a little lacking in this position of center forward.

If you play against a team with a terrifying front line, the Timberwolves' game may not be easy to play.

No, after the game against the Warriors on January 12, the Timberwolves rushed to Houston in advance to prepare for the next game after a day of rest.

They will play the Rockets in Houston on January 16.

The bad news is that the Rockets in '98 had two supergiants, "Big Dream" Hakeem Olajuwon and "Fliggy" Charles Barkley.
