Chapter 107: Lefou, the bull was fooled

In the NBA team, there is a style of play that is restrained.

is like the calf in front of him, basically perfectly restrained by the Timberwolves' current lineup.

The Timberwolves' current system, when the forward group is on the court, will pay attention to the sharing of the ball to achieve an opportunity to play misplaced inside.

If the opposing center squats down and puts Giannis Antetokounmpo, with the direction that Su Chen is developing him now, he can use a throw shot or a close-range shot.

And on the bench, an offensive system has also been developed.

That is, with Josh Smith as the point of possession, shooters like McCollum or Curry Jr. can use Gobert to block and run without the ball, and Josh Smith can choose to pass or break through.

The other is that Josh Smith and Gobert play a pick-and-roll with the ball, so as to look for Josh Smith to throw an opportunity on his own, or use his height vision to pass to Gobert.

McCollum, Josh Smith, Gobert as the core of the interior line.

These people are actually half-, or they all have their own shortcomings, rather than letting them take the all-round road, it is better to simply let them specialize in one item.

Josh Smith is good at using throws or inside breakaways, as well as his ability to organize passes, and don't worry about his broken shots and singles.

Gobert is the same, focusing on the way he picks and rolls and throws high, avoiding his lack of core strength.

For Gobert's cultivation direction, Su Chen also found the answer in this game.

Gobert's lack of core strength made him unstable in the game, unable to stand down and eat cake or fight for some rebounds that needed power slots.

But look at it from another angle.

It is precisely because Gobert did not force the confrontation that his running and jumping ability can complete the actions of blocking and high tossing and eating cakes.

Gobert's pick-and-roll ability is excellent, covering a large area, which has nothing to do with his ability to fight, and his own body is wide.

Gobert himself has not solved the problem for so many years, and Su Chen also feels that it is difficult to change, so it is better to directly specialize in Gobert's strengths.

If you don't have an independent attack, don't attack on your own, and if you don't have the ability to receive ordinary passes, give him less passes.

Gobert was also selected in his twenties, and he was not cheap, and he would not have a temper to let him do these things when he didn't make a lot of money.

As for McCollum.

His projection ability is very strong, and this projection ability is not like the average shooter who needs the team to create an environment for him, he can create his own three-point environment with the ball.

With a high-quality cover like Gobert, McCollum can punish a crouching center who switches when he has a good hand.

But his shortcomings are also obvious, the first is the defense that has been talked about many times.

The other point is that there is a breakthrough.

McCollum's movement is clean, which makes it difficult for him to shoot or break through.

To put it bluntly, he doesn't rub, unlike a man who has been memorizing the rules since the early hours of the morning, even if he only has 20 shots, he can get a score of 20 or 30 points.

When McCollum has a feel, he is how to shoot, but when McCollum has no feel, he is a representative who can't attack and can't defend.

So now Su Chen's cultivation of McCollum is that he won't break through the foul, and he can't score with his physical talent, so don't waste the opportunity to break through.

It's good to be an Owen who hasn't broken through.

Su Chen sat on the bench, taking these notes.

Compared with Carlisle, who had been standing in command on the other side, Su Chen entered rest mode early, and even regarded this game as a tactical training match.

The Mavericks' offensive firepower is not bad.

But the problem is that the Timberwolves took the lead as soon as they started, and the premise of chasing points was that they needed to be able to defend the opponent and score it themselves.

When everyone is in a drought, they strike iron one after another.

Once the Maverick gets up, Su Chen called a timeout, and it is almost impossible to crack the Maverick by giving the Maverick strength and playing the inside line with a steady tactic.

After the game was played, the Mavericks did not organize any decent counterattack.

Timberwolves 118:106 Mavericks.

There is not much difference between the two sides, but only the audience who watched this game understood that the Mavericks were held by the Timberwolves almost all of the time.

The Timberwolves have won six in a row since the start of the season!

The Timberwolves now have a 6-0 record.

Giannis Antetokounmpo performed brilliantly in this game, scoring 27 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

Everyone else scored, and Butler scored just 11 points, but the defensive end did a good job.

Josh Smith had eight points, nine rebounds and eight assists, Gobert had a standard double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds, and McCollum had 18 points.

Although Josh Smith's data doesn't seem to be explosive, this already perfectly meets Su Chen's requirements for him.

It is already very good to be able to play the kind of effect that Li Kaier did later on the bench.

At the same time, Josh Smith on the defensive end, due to his better athleticism, can do it regardless of playing infinite rotation or any system.

That's why Su Chen wants to trade Josh Smith.

Mavericks.

Nowitzki scored 23 points, Monta Ellis 25 and Calderón 16.

The numbers of several people are good, but they just can't win the game.

After winning this game, Su Chen was not proud, and casually responded to the reporter's questions with some official answers.

It's a good atmosphere in the team right now.

Including Lore Deng, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and others who were still a little dissatisfied, they were also happy.

Winning matches can resolve dissatisfaction and conflict.

These three players, who planned to brush up some data or mess around at the beginning of the game, are now also complying with the arrangement of their own positioning.

If the team is a fishing team, there are not many players who are willing to be blue-collar workers.

But it's not the same if it's a strong team.

Although the current Timberwolves are not a strong team, the team is winning in a row and has a strong momentum.

Originally, Su Chen wanted the team to take a little rest, and then he was going to make back-to-back road trips, and the Lakers were about to play the Clippers.

But looking at the atmosphere of the team now, Su Chen also thought that he would simply let the team fight more.

The team is only just rebuilding and needs a win to confirm confidence before we can play better and better.

"Why don't you just give up a 20-game winning streak?"

But that's just thinking.

The 20-game winning streak at the beginning is still far-fetched, and now we can only try to prolong the team's winning streak a little longer.

Let the team play with confidence and get everyone used to their position.

"Then there will be no rotation, anyway, the Clippers and Lakers both use the same arena."

After thinking about it, Su Chen finalized the plan.

The back-to-back between the Clippers and Lakers should be the easiest back-to-back trip in the league, not because they are not strong, but mainly because they don't have to travel.

Los Angeles.

At Staples Arena, the Timberwolves take on the Lakers on the road.

The Timberwolves have not had any rotation so far, and the full Wolves have challenged the Lakers.

On the other hand, the Lakers are all role players.

This season's Lakers have basically entered a rebuild, and their record will be in the second-to-last place in the West, and the team has no plans to win.

It's basically whoever gets the ball, and the players also know that the Lakers don't want to go to the playoffs this season, and they brush them when the team puts the team.

The full Wolves are now in high spirits, and they are easy to win against the Lakers who play against a group of role players.

Timberwolves 102:86 Lakers.

The Timberwolves have won seven in a row this season and have not lost so far this season.

After taking the Lakers, the Timberwolves returned to the hotel to rest.

Tomorrow they will take on a tough opponent, the Clippers.

This back-to-back road trip will not be too tiring for the Timberwolves.

Next.

The Timberwolves' recent stellar performance has once again attracted attention in the league.

"The Timberwolves defeated the Lakers and won seven in a row! 》

"Su Chen: The players are doing well, we will be part of the playoffs. 》

True Team Attack! Timberwolves become wolves! 》

Now the media's comments on the Timberwolves are no longer all unfavorable at the beginning.

While the win over the Lakers doesn't have any money, the Mavericks are a decent team, and the Timberwolves' winning streak has made people realize that they are no longer a fishing team.

Only now did people finally begin to face up to what Su Chen said before, as well as the gambling agreement signed.

Since this incident was exposed, everyone has unanimously ridiculed the Timberwolves and Su Chen, and everyone thinks it was just a joke.

But now, the Timberwolves have shown a storm of youth at the beginning of the game, and they have won seven consecutive victories all the way.

This has to make people pay attention to them.

And the most core character to be discussed is naturally Su Chen.

"Listen, Su Chen is not joking at all, he is serious!"

"Look at the Timberwolves and then look at the Warriors, I have to admit that Su Chen's coaching ability is historic."

"Although Kerr seems to have continued the system of this Warriors, after carefully analyzing the last game with the Timberwolves, it is not difficult to see that Kerr's passing cut was basically guessed by Su Chen and could not be played at all."

"Giannis Antetokounmpo's draft report, scouts are not optimistic about him, and they all think that he will be in the top ten or twenty positions, but Su Chen just dares to use the No. 8 pick to win."

"Although there are reasons for the league rule change, I have to admit that Butler has played better than Lore Deng."

"The Bulls are losing, and after Rose's comeback, Love didn't play the dominant role in the Timberwolves at all, instead they lost Butler and Lore Deng."

"If Butler continues to play like this, it's certain that the Bulls are really losing."

Su Chen's own ability, as well as the transactions he made, are now beginning to be discussed.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a little less talked, because he hasn't reached his peak yet, and more often than not, he relies on tactics to design a lot of comfortable ways for him to attack.

And now someone has re-examined the transaction made by Su Chen.

After the Bulls traded to LeFou, with the return of Rose, they are considered a team that can challenge for a championship level.

But in fact, since the start of the game, the Bulls have frequently lost to weak teams, and the current winning rate has not exceeded 50%.

Lefou, known as the two pairs of machines, does not seem to be what he imagined it to be.

Love also got the right to attack in the low post at the start of the season.

However, Lefou's low post is not very efficient when facing tough defenders, and sometimes it is even inferior to Boozer.

Rose's breakthrough needs space, but Love can open up space.

But when Lefu opened up the space, it looked awkward again, and Lefu could only stand at the three-point line on the offensive end, but Lefou's defense was relatively bad.

Lefu is actually not a brush, Lefou's second formation is really his own play.

The Lefu of that meeting is big, and the inside offense is at the level of a giant.

But the excessive weight brought some damage to Lefou, and Lefu lost weight, especially this season.

Before Lefu lost weight, he couldn't prevent the fast line, but because of his weight, he couldn't prevent the pure inner line, but after losing weight, he couldn't prevent the fast one, and he couldn't prevent the tonnage of the inner line.

Especially now that we have entered the era of small ball in advance, although the general environment of the league has not changed, for Lefou, the defense is plummeting.

Today's Lefou, even the rebounding ability has declined because of the weakening of the card position.

Now Lefou's style of play in the Bulls is basically to open up space on offense as a high battery, and become a defender below the passing line on the defensive end.

Some Bulls fans who can sit still still think that they will take a look first.

But there are some impatient Bulls fans who have already begun to scold and call out for being fooled.

Now the work that Lefu does, Luoer Deng can also do, and it is better than Lefou.

At least Low's defensive ability is still recognized, and at the same time, he can only play a three-point role.

They felt a loss in a single exchange, but at the same time, they also caught up with Butler, who is now playing better and better.

The anger of the Bulls fans not only made them spray their own team management, but also sprayed Su Chen for robbing them.

It must have been Su Chen who had already seen that Lefu was in the wrong state, so he sold Lefu at this price.

But the deal is already done.

The anger of the Bulls fans is just the rage of incompetence.

However, it is difficult to say whether the Timberwolves have really earned it now.

There are still media opinions.

The Timberwolves just started the season while other teams had not yet adjusted their condition and entered the state early, which is not unheard of in previous seasons.

Many media feel that the Timberwolves have now begun to slowly be studied by other teams to play.

The next game against the Clippers, one of the league's championship-level powerhouses, is when the Timberwolves reveal their true form.

The Timberwolves, a young team, also have a lot of shortcomings.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, who looks strong, has obvious weaknesses, and even if he is fast, he can't break through from the three-point line.

In the next game against the empty city, with Griffin and Jordan Jr. in the care, Giannis Antetokounmpo has a good chance of hitting his rookie wall.

At the same time, the Timberwolves don't have a real traditional point guard, which is also a problem.

In the history of basketball, there are two irreplaceable positions, that is, center and point guard.

Without a center, there are no rebounds and no rim protection, and without a point guard, players will be in a mess when the coach's tactics fail.

Originally, the Timberwolves still had Rubio, but because of the competition with the Warriors for Iguodala, they were robbed by the Nuggets in vain.

The Clippers are such a strong team on the inside and point guard.

On the surface, the Clippers are almost the perfect team to restrain the Timberwolves.

Paul, as the league's top point guard, will teach the Timberwolves without a point guard a good lesson.

Let the Timberwolves feel the charm of a traditional point guard.
