Chapter 124: The Best? That's Gobert, of course!
Faced with this game played like this, Eric Spoelstra looked a little annoyed.
Because he could obviously lead the team to fight this game with the Timberwolves, but for various reasons, he couldn't fight Su Chen with all his might.
For this victory, Su Chen simply pressed all the team, and the team had to fight hard with injuries.
On the contrary, the Heat did not have the courage.
It's not that they don't have the courage to do so, the Heat is like a person who already has a status, and it doesn't feel cost-effective to fight fairly with a person at the bottom.
Toot toot.
As the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Timberwolves officially changed their opening winning streak to 20 consecutive wins.
Full Time Score.
Timberwolves 108-93 Heat.
The Timberwolves showed the momentum of breaking the kettle for an ordinary regular season game, and even the Heat, one of the top teams in the league, did not choose to forcibly match the intensity.
At the same time, the Timberwolves' record has also become a very luxurious 20-0.
The Timberwolves stand first in the league and look down on the pack.
Such glory can be traced back to the Garnett era when the Timberwolves won the first place in the West and entered the playoffs, but the Timberwolves did not break out of the West that season.
"Well, it's really not easy, the Timberwolves won this regular season with a minor injury."
Barkley said with a pout.
The tone is obviously a bit yin and yang, and it is clear that Barkley is one of those who looks down on this kind of record-brushing behavior.
In his eyes, the true meaning of this so-called record is a regular season victory.
I won't say that because of this record, in the playoffs, I will give you one more win.
They only recognize the champion.
Although Barkley does not have a championship.
"Haha, congratulations to the Timberwolves for setting a record of 20 consecutive wins in the opening game."
Kenny Smith is not as old-fashioned as Barkley.
"It's a fun win, but the Timberwolves are in their current state, will the next Thunder continue to fight?"
O'Neill opened up a new topic.
The next opponent of the Timberwolves is this year's Western powerhouse, the Thunder.
If the Timberwolves plan to fight hard in the next game, maybe the Timberwolves will be tired before the halfway point of the game.
"It stands to reason that it won't, but this person is Su Chen."
Johnson said with a smile.
"Su Chen continued to expand his winning streak to 21 consecutive wins, and then he can tell everyone, oh, look at how good I am, the team has won 21 in a row, it is my 21 consecutive wins, I am the best coach!"
Barkley was still yin and yang, and said sarcastically to Su Chen.
He had already laughed angrily at Su Chen's behavior.
Everyone thought that the Timberwolves should have stopped, but Su Chen was too crazy, and they really couldn't tell if Su Chen would continue to be reckless.
After the game.
James and others still shook hands with many Timberwolves players, after all, this is basic etiquette, and this is just an ordinary regular season.
Especially for James, who doesn't pay that much attention to his regular season record right now.
With the overall strength of the East now, as long as the Heat can enter the playoffs, they don't care how many playoffs they enter.
Besides, the East is weak as a whole, and it won't be impossible to make the playoffs.
James is also very careful about his media image, he didn't win the game or put on a face, and he had high-fives and other interactions with the Timberwolves players.
Even for Su Chen, the opponent who eliminated him last season, James did not show any dissatisfaction, and shook hands with Su Chen politely.
But that's about it.
For James, Su Chen, who chose the Timberwolves, is no longer at the same level as him.
Although Eric Spoelstra also attached more importance to this game, he still hugged Su Chen and congratulated Su Chen on leading the team to win twenty consecutive victories.
Post-match press conference.
Su Chen also sat in the middle.
"May I ask Coach Su Chen, how do you feel now that you have won twenty consecutive victories?"
Immediately, a reporter asked Su Chen a question.
"Of course it's nice to win, but it's just a normal regular season."
Su Chen had already regained his calm expression.
Hearing Su Chen's answer, the reporters in the audience were a little stunned.
An ordinary regular season?
Anyone can say that, Su Chen, you let the players play with injuries and play the whole game with high intensity, can you say such things?
However, from an official point of view, Su Chen's answer is a relatively standard answer.
It's one thing to do, everyone is just guessing and reasoning on their own, although everyone has come up with an answer, but after all, there is no evidence and it can't be hammered.
If it is really blatantly said that it is necessary to brush data, it is the black spot of the whole career.
The growth of life is always accompanied by hypocrisy.
"Who does Coach Su Chen think is the biggest contributor to achieving this 20-game winning streak?"
The next reporter's question is a bit provocative.
Although this question is very provocative, with the answer to the previous question, everyone thinks that Su Chen will probably use the official answer to fool the past.
Originally, the sense of anticipation that the reporters pulled up dropped again, just waiting for Su Chen to say something nonsense.
'Every player in our squad has been fantastic and they deserve these victories'
Sure enough, as soon as they heard Su Chen's previous words, the reporters had the expressions they had already guessed.
But Su Chen's words continued.
"But if you want to talk about the biggest hero, I think it's Gobert, he's a really incredible player."
"When he's swinging his long arm in the three-second zone, even the best rim rushers in the league are thinking about whether or not to make the basket."
Su Chen's words changed and he directly began to praise Gobert.
And this kind of praise is still a handful of praise, which is equivalent to saying that Gobert is the team's greatest asset.
There is even a metaphor, isn't the best frame rusher in the active league James, and he also stepped on James a little to support Gobert.
As for whether Gobert himself can prevent James, neither of them has ever fought head-to-head, no matter how Su Chen blows.
This one for Gobert is a rotational break, which means that Gobert is too tired and lets Gobert take a break.
Of course, it's also for James not to knock Gobert off.
As for McCollum, Su Chen didn't blow much.
For the management of the league, it is difficult for the outside line to determine how sure he is of playing from the rookie time, but the inside line is different, as long as the basic handicap can at least maintain a lower limit.
Just like Olajuwon and Jordan, the Rockets still feel that Olajuwon's interior line is more stable, so they used the top pick to select Olajuwon.
Su Chen was very clear.
Gobert is the more valuable bargaining chip.
He hid Gobert's shortcomings well and tried to play Gobert's strengths as much as possible, even though Gobert was still a rookie, it was already very greedy.
In fact, even if Goebel's shortcomings are not hidden, Gobert's trade value is still very high.
Didn't you see that when Connery was in the Timberwolves, he directly exchanged Gobert for ten for one, Gobert's shortcomings at that time had all been exposed, but there were still people who paid for him at a high price.
