Su Chen and Dennis Lindsay were chatting when suddenly the phone on the desk rang.

Usually this phone ring is usually a more formal call from another team.

Su Chen stretched out his hand and motioned for Dennis Lindsay to pick it up, now he is only responsible for making decisions about these things, and all other things are handled by Dennis Lindsay.

After all, Su Chen is the general manager, and answering the phone in front of the general manager is obviously a bit overstepping.

After receiving Su Chen's signal, Dennis Lindsay nodded and went to pick up the call.

After chatting for less than a minute, I saw that Dennis Lindsay's face was not good-looking.

"Man, you're a general manager, not a robber!"

Dennis Lindsay pressed the phone hard after saying this.

Seeing Dennis Lindsay like this made Su Chen a little curious.

"How?"

Su Chen asked.

"A call from the Pelicans, who want to trade Gobert and Butler with Jrue Holiday as the main body."

"There are more teams in the league than they have a good offer, and it's just a robbery."

Dennis Lindsay said with some anger.

Hearing that the Pelicans made an offer with Holiday made Su Chen a little surprised.

Holiday made the All-Star last season and is an All-Star point guard, not only with offensive ability, but also with both playmaking and defense.

Crucially, Holiday was one of the original members of the Bucks championship team, and now Giannis and Middleton are both on the lineup.

However, for the object that the Pelicans wanted to trade, Su Chen's interest dropped instantly.

Gobert gave it, and the brush was originally intended to be given.

But if you want Butler, you think too much.

The third-year Butler is already very mature in terms of combat power, and with the 10% bonus given by the Striker's bond, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the peak Butler.

The Bucks Championship team is good, but the Bucks Championship team is not so stable.

Old Butler can lead the Black Eight Bucks, and it's really a good thing for you to take a Holiday and want to exchange for Butler.

And a Gobert.

"Haha, you're right, he really shouldn't be the general manager but a robber."

Su Chen smiled and said to Dennis Lindsay.

Although Holiday had a certain attraction to Su Chen, this bargaining chip was indeed a robbery, and Su Chen was not even interested in negotiating.

Unless the other party can put the thick eyebrows in.

But the other party is robbing, and it is estimated that he will not do that.

"Let's look at the transaction and leave the sincere transaction plan."

Su Chen said to Dennis Lindsay.

After all, he is only a part-time general manager, and his main position is the head coach, which Su Chen has not forgotten.

He's going to keep preparing for the game.

In recent fixtures, the Timberwolves have not had a tough schedule.

Nuggets, Mavericks, Pistons.

The score of three games.

Timberwolves 96-90 Nuggets.

Mavericks 92:105 Timberwolves.

Pistons 87:95 Timberwolves.

The Nuggets have gone through offseason trades and have entered a rebuilding phase, and this season the Nuggets are still playing in the style of the track and field team.

Ty Lawson, Kenneth Farid, Wilson Chandler, Javier McGee, Randy Foye and others still show this athletic basketball.

But the track team has proven to be a failure, and with Jokic's arrival, the Nuggets' track team has come to an end.

However, with Su Chen's existence, Jokic can't give the Nuggets, and the future of the Nuggets is not known yet.

The Timberwolves took the Nuggets without too much effort.

In the rematch with the Mavericks, Nowitzki took a rest, after all, Nowitzki is older now.

Without Nowitzki's Mavericks, just with Monta Ellis and other players who are strong in offense and weak in defense, the current Timberwolves have not slackened to hold this game.

Challenge the Pistons in Detroit.

The current Pistons don't have a core, Jennings is the team's leading scorer, but his ability is difficult to convince.

The Pistons are interested in developing Drummond, but Drummond's current ability is still more blue-collar.

In the face of such a coreless Piston, the Timberwolves also won easily.

After winning those three games, the Timberwolves now have a record of 19-0.

The Timberwolves still hold on to their top spot in the league, while bringing the league's opening streak to 19 straight wins.

But in fact, the Timberwolves won these 19 consecutive wins, which is not as easy as it seems.

Against the Mavericks, Butler sprained again.

Repeated high-intensity defense and high playing time have made this Timberwolves enter a tight state.

It's not just the players' bodies, it's also the players' spirits, and a lot of times they play in a trance.

Butler missed the game against the Pistons, albeit with only a minor injury.

Although Su Chen did not force Butler to play, Butler expressed a strong desire to play for the team's record of 20 consecutive wins, and Su Chen thought about it and agreed to Butler's idea of playing with an injury.

At the same time, Iguodala recovered from his injury, and Su Chen did not arrange for Iguodala to rest, but directly arranged for Iguodala to pay.

Before the game, the Timberwolves gave the official roster of players, Butler and Iguodala both appeared.

After seeing this information, the outside world also caused a burst of discussion.

"Is it for the sake of the team or for my own selfish desires? 》

"The Timberwolves have won 19 consecutive leagues, but how long can the current state of the Timberwolves last? 》

"The Timberwolves have already broken the record, why do they want to overload the players? 》

A lot of doubts about Su Chen emerged.

When the impact of sixteen wins made the players overloaded, the outside world already had a lot of complaints about Su Chen, feeling that Su Chen simply didn't think about the future of the team for a record.

But at that time, everyone was attracted by the record, and these voices questioning Su Chen's character and professional ethics were not too big.

But now that the record has been broken, the Timberwolves are still like this.

The main players of the Timberwolves, like Giannis, basically have to play to 40+ minutes per game, and other main players often play 40 minutes.

Even if there are some fans who don't like the Timberwolves, looking at the Timberwolves, they have to be as tired as dogs on the court and continue to play.

I also think that the head coach of the Timberwolves is too outrageous.

Pure is to treat the player as a donkey.

The key Butler is injured, and he has to play the game against the Heat with an injury, and this game looks like a high-intensity game.

Although Butler chose to play with an injury on his own, as a head coach, he should rotate the players at the right time.

Iguodala too, who has just recovered from his injury, is about to return to the line of fire.

I don't even give a break.

Being a coach is a taste of a capitalist for Su Chen, as if the player has nothing to do with him no matter how tired he is.

In the eyes of the outside world, Su Chen is a black-hearted capitalist coach who doesn't care about the players for the sake of record and vanity.

Minnesota at night.

Target Center Arena.

Tonight's game was directly tuned to a national live broadcast by the league.

After all, this game is the Timberwolves, the first in the league, against the Heat, who are fifth in the league.

Due to the recent rotation of the Big Three, the Heat's record has also dropped from second in the league to fifth in the league.

For the Heat, their roster system has been played for so many years, and they don't have to rely too much on the regular season to run in.

On the contrary, it is the physical strength of the Big Three, which needs to be saved for the playoffs.

Moreover, the Heat's role players are also older, and the Heat have no idea of competing for the first place in the East this season, and their current record is lagging behind the Pacers.

But everyone knows that the Heat, who are now second in the East, are the strongest team in the East.

Although the Timberwolves are now the first in the league, they have shown fatigue in past games.

The players were already tired from playing too high, and the injury of Iguodala and then Butler was a sign of the team's fatigue.

This winning streak has made the Timberwolves a little unbearable in order to maintain it.

If this is not the beginning of the season, everyone is still physical, if it is placed in the middle of the season, it is easy to directly injure the team with such a high-intensity game.

It's just that Su Chen has been asking for every victory, and if anyone falls behind at this time, he will be easily kicked out of the rotation list.

So the Timberwolves players didn't dare to relax, and everyone was nervous to fight every game.

In this national live broadcast game, the TNT commentary team also came to the target center.

"If anyone had told me that the Timberwolves were going to win 19 in a row and were still on a 20-game winning streak, I would have scolded him for being whimsical."

Olney was the first to say at the beginning.

"But it looks like they're going to have their own losing streak right after the streak ends."

Barkley shook his head and gave his opinion.

Today's Timberwolves everyone knows that although they are really playing well, their defensive efficiency value has ranked among the top three in the league.

But this is a situation where the transition relies on starters, and it is outrageous that the Timberwolves can still play such a high-intensity game for 40+ minutes per game.

That is, the Timberwolves are relatively young and can barely support such continuous high strength.

"The impetus for the Timberwolves to win right now is the record, and it's true that if they lose, they're going to lose on a losing streak."

Even Kenny Smith, who usually likes to work against Barkley, agrees with Barkley at this time.

"How much do you think the Timberwolves' winning streak can get?"

That's when Johnson asked a question to everyone.

"19."

"19."

"20."

Barkley and Kenny Smith both said 19 games, while O'Neal's 20 games looked like they were deliberately trying to make a show different from them.

But even the funny O'Neill only said 20, not 21.

Because the Timberwolves beat the Heat, they still have to play the Thunder.

Even if they really win the Heat, the Timberwolves will be very, very tired, and it is impossible to think about the Timberwolves at the level of a strong team like the Thunder.

"It seems that our views are not very different."

Johnson said with a smile.

"The Timberwolves are not without a chance, although the Heat did not rotate in this game, they will reduce their playing time even if the Big Three play together."

O'Neal explained why he said he was on a 20-game winning streak.

"This season's Heat did stay in the regular season, and this is only the first half of the season."

Kenny Smith nodded.

"Haha, James must have been depressed by the Warriors last year, and they were disbanded this season in addition to winning the championship."

O'Neill laughed.

"James' contract expires next season, and indeed, if the Heat can't win a championship again, it will be difficult for James to choose to stay with the Heat."

Barkley agreed.

The problem of strife in the Heat locker room has been rumored for a long time.

The Heat's role players are now starting to decline, Wade is not as dominant as in previous seasons, and Bosh has not been very dominant in the Big Three, after all, he has conceded so many balls.

This season's Heat, they won't care about the regular season standings, they must be playing the playoffs with all their might.

Chatting and chatting, the game is about to start.

Su Chen stood on the sidelines with a serious expression, and frowned slightly when he saw the players missing shots one after another in the warm-up.

Just judging from Su Chen's state, you can know how much he values this game.

Milosevic was a little helpless, he naturally knew Su Chen's current state, in fact, he suggested more than once that Su Chen let the team rest appropriately.

But Su Chen insisted on continuing to win the next victory, and Milosevic didn't know what Su Chen thought, but after all, he was just an assistant coach and couldn't interfere with the team's selection.

Su Chen wants to win this twenty consecutive victories, and the whole team is in full swing, preparing for this twenty consecutive victories.

Butler also heard Su Chen say that this 20-game winning streak is very important to the team, so he chose to play with an injury, and he is willing to play if he can win.

James on the court practicing his shot.

He paid a little attention to the Timberwolves' side, mainly to Su Chen.

After all, it was this guy last season who let him win the championship nine times out of ten and fly.

James also discovered that Su Chen was particularly serious tonight.

This made James a little confused.

James has heard of the current situation of the Timberwolves, and now the Timberwolves are running at a high capacity, and the team is already very nervous.

"Is it because he wants to continue to win me, so he chooses not to rest in this game, but to fight me well?"

James thought of a possibility.

But James couldn't help but smile when he thought of this possibility.

It seems that Su Chen wants to compete with him, but this season, James doesn't think too much of Su Chen.

It's not that James is arrogant, it's because of the Timberwolves' team configuration.

are all some players who are not famous, or players who are a little famous, and they don't have much strength.

Like that Loer Deng, he has taught each other a lot in the east in the past few years.

What Iguodala, Josh is even less worth mentioning.

If Su Chen is still in the Warriors now, then James may still be able to take a look, but the Timberwolves still forget it.

Originally, it was in the east and west, and it was not a district.
