As the first big deal since the start of the competition, ESPN was also quick to give a rating on this deal.

[Oklahoma City Thunder: A+]

In this deal, the Thunder's deal received a super high A+ rating.

First of all, Ibaka must be good enough, this is the fifth season of Ibaka's career, and Ibaka has reached the peak of his career in the 2011~2012 season.

He averaged 3.7 blocks per game that season, and his explosive performance on the defensive end alone was already more exciting than the peak Duncan, Garnett and others, and that season, Ibaka also helped the Thunder reach the Finals, and the 200+ blocks in a row in the season were also the highest active record, and now Ibaka is almost the best rim protector in the league.

Ibaka's static talent is among the best in the league, and his athleticism is on the inside, making him the only one in the active game.

But Ibaka's shortcomings are also obvious.

When he defended his back in the low post, he was poor.

At the same time, the star of the Thunder is Durant, Ibaka can't provide Durant with a comfortable blocking quality, although he averages 8.8 rebounds per game, but his defensive rebounds are 6 per game, Ibaka is not a good frontcourt rebounder, and Ibaka is always questioned for shooting from the outside.

Although the success of the Warriors last season accelerated the league's entry into the small-ball era, it always feels soft whenever an interior player floats on the outside.

The league's awareness of the need for space-based interior lines as a whole has not yet been raised.

So ESPN thinks that Ibaka, in fact, is not that expensive.

Although the rookies of the Timberwolves have only played more than 20 games, even Curry Jr. has played more than a dozen games.

But their performance is already full of expectations.

There is still a question mark over the value of McCollum and Curry Jr., after all, they have only played a dozen good games, and the data is also very watery.

Whether Su Chen deliberately brushed the data for them, this can only be known by asking Su Chen himself.

But Gobert's talent is indeed undeniable.

ESPN gives Goebel a very high rating.

He's got a very good reach, he's a natural barrier just by raising his hands under the basket, and he's good on the outside end of the line, as well as on the low post.

Gobert is big, his body and arms are wide, and you can see that almost every time the Timberwolves do a pick-and-roll for McCollum, a defender is affected by Gobert's pick-and-roll to some extent.

McCollum may have brushed it, but what Goebel showed was not a dumpling.

At the same time, Gobert also has a tough interior offensive ability, and when Gobert gets the ball under the basket, opponents will have to foul him.

Otherwise, Gobert will not be able to be stopped.

Gobert will not be a single exchange for Ibaka, after all, Gobert has only played a dozen good games, and Gobert has been more of a supporting role in the opening season.

There is still a big gap with Ibaka, who has become famous and has proven himself in the playoffs.

But ESPN still feels that adding McCollum and Curry Jr., as well as giving two second-rounders.

Su Chen didn't seem to be here to do business, as if he was here to be the wrongdoer.

With Gobert, the Thunder's troubled interior problems will also be solved.

On offense, Gobert can provide Durant with very good pick-and-roll quality and can help the Thunder get a lot of offensive rebounds.

Defensively, Gobert can be a pillar of interior defense with his defensive area.

Su Chen had already demonstrated Gobert's manual when he was in the Timberwolves, and letting Gobert sit under the basket could form a very strong defensive system.

Compared to Ibaka's fear of low post masters, Gobert can better complete the task of single defense.

At the same time, McCollum can also play the role of the sixth man, after all, Wei Shao's attendance this season is not high, if McCollum can continue the performance of the Timberwolves, he can even replace Reggie as the starter.

As for Curry Jr., a qualified shooter in the rotation.

If he is there, he can share Durant's projection pressure, which is also a very good reinforcement.

The only thing that is almost interesting is that all three of them are rookies and need a certain amount of training time.

But compared to Ibaka, who has not improved, these three people obviously have a higher ceiling.

[Minnesota Timberwolves: C+]

At the beginning of the espn article, they thought that the Timberwolves could only be rated as C or C-, but gave them a C+ considering that their actual combat effectiveness was not cut too much.

First of all, considering that the current Timberwolves still insist on Giannis and Butler as the core, judging from past games, these two core players are very good at breaking through but not good at shooting.

Goebel and these two people, first of all, are not very compatible.

Although Giannis has always assisted Gobert in past games, their connection is a pseudo-connection.

A lot of the ball they found that if Giannis had attacked on his own, there was a good chance of scoring a goal.

Giannis just turned his own score into Gobert's.

It is precisely because of this that the score of C or C- has been raised to C+.

After all, although Ibaka's offense under the basket can't provide enough firepower, it is still more important for the Timberwolves to open up space.

Of course, what ESPN doesn't know is that Gobert can only play his exclusive defensive system, and Gobert's own defensive system is actually an act of kidnapping the whole team to build defense around him.

ESPN continues to evaluate that the Timberwolves trade is a rather visionary way to trade.

If the Timberwolves are willing to wait for these rookies to grow, they can use those chips to trade for an All-Star-caliber interior player who is stronger than Ibaka.

No matter how much Gobert has shown so far, Gobert's situation is that he has only played a dozen good games in the past.

It seems to be a beautiful 20+10, but it is only when it is reused that this statistic is played.

According to an interview with an unnamed executive from ESPN, while the price offered by the Timberwolves was tempting, none of the teams that offered the Timberwolves chips involved any All-Star players.

Even if it's their non-sale Giannis, no team is willing to gamble on the All-Star.

No matter how well you play, just ten or twenty games, the league is full of old managers.

With the exception of the Thunder, no one has taken more chips than Ibaka to bet on rookies like the Timberwolves, who have only played ten or twenty games.

If the Timberwolves let Gobert and others grow up completely, they can still play like this after a season.

Then there will be a lot of teams that are willing to sell All-Star level players to trade these three players.

But now, except for the Thunder who can take out Ibaka, the other chips they take out are very low.

This is also because the Thunder themselves are not satisfied with Ibaka and want to bet on other people's children, otherwise the Thunder would not have proposed this deal.

[Because of his gambling agreement, Su Chen was eager to change his combat power and destroyed the cornerstone of the Timberwolves. 】

Regarding Su Chen's behavior, ESPN also criticized mercilessly.

felt that Su Chen didn't care about the future of the team at all for his own selfish interests, and even ESPN called on Timberwolves owner Taylor to pay some money to Su Chen and let him get out of the way.

Don't let Su Chen, continue to destroy the Timberwolves like this.

In fact, this transaction is not too premium, it is a normal price and is more expensive.

The reason why everyone thinks the Timberwolves are losing is because Gobert and McCollum have only played a dozen games, and no other team manager is willing to take risks.

If you let these rookies grow for a full season, if you want to trade, let alone All-Star bench-caliber players.

Even if it's an All-Star starter-level player, it's not impossible to change.

The key is that Su Chen was unwilling to give these rookies a season for the sake of his playoff betting agreement, and chose to shoot at Gobert McCollum at a low ebb.

This is still the Thunder willing to gamble for the performance of more than ten games, otherwise even Ibaka will not be able to exchange.

However, ESPN is very optimistic about the Thunder's stud, and the rookie analysis traded by the Timberwolves is very high, so it gives the Thunder an A+ rating.

Although the Timberwolves have not weakened in terms of combat effectiveness, this behavior of selling low and buying high has made everyone not optimistic about the Timberwolves' deal.

Moreover, Ibaka's defense of the low post interior, rebounding, and offensive ability under the basket are generally problems.

If the Timberwolves don't run in well, they may lose the team's cornerstone and not make the playoffs.

In addition, in the offseason, the transactions made by Su Chen were all wrong-minded transactions.

For Iguodala White gave a rubio and traded Love for an outdated All-Star and a mediocre third-year rookie.

If Butler hadn't played out, and Lefu also played average in the Bulls, Su Chen would have been scolded by more people.

However, for now, the evaluation of Su Chen's manager is basically belittling.

Milwaukee.

At this time, the Timberwolves are still challenging the Bucks in Milwaukee.

In the face of the Bucks who have been rotten this season, the Timberwolves have no difficulty in winning it.

After a 20-game winning streak, the Timberwolves endured a long 1-7 record.

However, after winning the Wizards in the last game, this time the Timberwolves won the Bucks, and the Timberwolves also tasted a long-lost winning streak.

After beating the Bucks, the Timberwolves need to travel to Dallas.

Although it was a back-to-back away game, there was a two-day break in between, and it was not as compact as back-to-back.

After the win over the Bucks, the Timberwolves' record became: 23-7.

Ibaka is still medically available for this game and did not play in this game.

Fortunately, the Bucks are not difficult, and Su Chen did not let the players play too much, plus the two-day break, the energy of the entire Timberwolves was still maintained well.

As soon as Ibaka had a physical examination, he was notified to go directly to Dallas for joint training.

There are analog glasses, and Su Chen is not worried about the run-in problem at all.

The Timberwolves are ready to rest for a night in Milwaukee before leaving for Dallas.

Su Chen was in the hotel, and he was not idle, holding a pen and writing something.

Now the Timberwolves' roster has also changed.

Timberwolves starters: Sergi Ibaka (C), Giannis Antetokounmpo (PF), Lore Deng (SF), Andre Iguodala (SG), Jimmy Butler (PG).

Timberwolves subs: Mike Muscala, Josh Smith, Robert Covington, Chris Middleton, Patrick Beverley.

This set of lineups is a set of regular lineups set up by Su Chen.

The Timberwolves also had Cunningham who played reluctantly, but Su Chen thought about it, but didn't include him in the rotation lineup.

The outside world's evaluation of his transaction, Su Chen also read it.

He didn't care at all.

Compared to Connelly, the general manager of the Timberwolves, he didn't think he was too outrageous.

Of course, he knows that even if Gobert is buttery, McCollum's playoff spirit is not good, Curry Jr.'s defense is a colander, and the trade value of the three of them is above Ibaka.

But why is he willing to make these deals?

He doesn't have any relationships with other team managers, he's not a professional manager in the industry, and the Timberwolves don't have much popularity in the industry.

Otherwise, it wouldn't always be robbed, and from Wiggins to Gobert, the Timberwolves trade is a long history of robbery.

If he doesn't trade at a premium, no one will want to trade with him at all, and equal traders who the manager prefers to trade with people he knows.

Coupled with the small ball market, the cold place, the powerful stars are not willing to take the initiative to join the Timberwolves.

He also wants to trade Gobert McCollum for a higher level.

George, Harden, Paul, is he not wanting to change, he can't change at all.

Gobert played a dozen good games in his first place, McCollum was about the same, and Curry Jr. played even fewer games.

It's not like he doesn't know that Gobert McCollum is a full season of these things, and the trade value will be very high.

But there is a systematic lottery rule, and he doesn't know if he will be in the Timberwolves next season.

So what kind of first and second round of the Timberwolves, Su Chen is not a matter at all, he just needs to play for him immediately.

As for the Timberwolves owner, Taylor also said that he can get any results he wants, and Taylor wants to enter the playoffs in the playoffs, and the luxury point is to get through the first round.

He is now pulling the team up and trying to break out of the West, which is not a pit Taylor.

Everyone is happy.

The Timberwolves really don't value draft picks very much.

The Timberwolves have rebuilt with the draft for so many years, what have they rebuilt?

I also chose a Huazi, a bit of the cornerstone of the team.

The team does not have a winning culture, and what is the use of having more champions.

This is also why the Timberwolves didn't treat the first round as money at all, and one Gobert was directly lost.

"Getting rid of Gobert and McCollum is finally complete in the team's defensive system."

Su Chen couldn't help but smile when he looked at this big list.

With Gobert and McCollum, it's always hard to defend.

Gobert can't defend himself, although he hasn't really exposed this shortcoming until now, but what kind of opponent is the West?

Paul's career in the small-ball era is a small-ball big essence, and the inside line of the small-ball era will be educated by Paul, not to mention Gobert.

Not to mention the Warriors, who will not play the Warriors Gobert directly.

Spurs also have mid-range, especially Leonard's mid-range now, which will go further.

Su Chen can protect Gobert for ten or twenty games, but he can't protect him for one season, and the opposing team analyst can't even analyze this matter with so much salary.

In fact, this is also why, although Gobert is favored by many people, no team other than the Thunder is willing to take stars out of the stud.

Whether it's Gobert or McCollum, they haven't been tested by the rookie wall.

Now the Timberwolves just haven't caught the attention of analysts on the coaching staff of major teams, just like Lin Crazy did play a superstar performance when all the teams hadn't noticed him.

But after being analyzed, it returned to his true level, and Jeremy Lin during the Wasp period was probably Jeremy Lin's limit.

Gobert had a hard time getting out, and McCollum needed to protect him.

Curry Jr. was also playing off the bench, so I won't mention it.

But now it's different.

After Ibaka's arrival, the team had plenty of options defensively.

Take, for example, the league's most dominant pick-and-roll with the ball.

If Gobert had been in the past, he would have basically had to play and retreat, rely on the flanks to supplement the defense and then rotate the defense.

The consumption of the whole team is very large, and when you encounter a three-point strong on the opposite side, it is easy to be rained by three points.

With Gobert's position replaced by Ibaka, the defense against pick-and-rolls can be diversified.

Compression, wrapping, changing, shrinking, and wrapping in advance

Because there is no colander in this starter, the front court is high enough, and Luol Deng is also a big man of 2.06 meters.

And the backcourt is also about two meters.

Although Iguodala is 1.98 meters and does not enjoy the bond bonus of the striker, he has enough strength himself, and his top defense on the inside line will not be worse than Butler after changing defenses.

And for the sake of the striker, Iguodala can go down to rest when he is tired, and let Covington play.

This will make the defensive rotation of the whole team very fast.

Dallas.

American Airlines Center Arena.

Although it is called the American Airlines Center Arena like the Heat's home stadium, the Mavericks' American Airlines Center is the most luxurious arena in the league.

The Mavericks' locker room is the most luxurious locker room, and the entire stadium is also a collection of hotel catering and entertainment, which is more of a huge entertainment villa than a stadium.

This season, it's already a trilogy battle between the Timberwolves and the Mavericks.

In the first two games, the Mavericks won the losing game against the Timberwolves.

For a team that has the ability to grab a playoff spot, that's unacceptable to the Mavericks.

And this season's Timberwolves also let people see some possibilities to enter the playoffs, which is a direct opponent for the Mavericks, who are also preparing to grab a playoff spot!

If this game is lost, then the Mavericks' head-to-head record against the Timberwolves must be a disadvantage.

If the two teams have the same record, then the Timberwolves will have the advantage of the head-to-head record, thus squeezing the Mavericks down.

In this game, the Mavericks sat at home and played at full strength.

The Mavericks are fighting this as a card battle!

For the pre-game analysis of this game, the Mavericks still have a certain advantage.

On the one hand, the Timberwolves have been in poor form lately, with only 3 wins and 7 losses in their last 10 games.

All three victories were won against underdogs.

And there is also a bad team like the Lakers, who defeated the Timberwolves.

On the other hand, Ibaka will play in today's game, and he bought it for such a large price, so Su Chen naturally didn't use it to put it on the bench.

The degree to which Ibaka and the Timberwolves are running in is a question.

There is that in the past games, Nowitzki was a stable educator of Ibaka.

Even though Nowitzki is older, every time he meets Ibaka, he can easily clean up Ibaka.

Maverick fans throughout the American Airlines Center are also very excited.

They all know that this game is a key game with the Timberwolves, and even a card battle staged in advance.

They all hope that the Mavericks can win against this Timberwolves team.

In the warm-up before the game.

Serge Ibaka has appeared on the Timberwolves lineup and is warming up with his shots.

Ibaka didn't say anything about being traded by the Thunder on the surface, but in fact he was very dissatisfied in his heart.

He is a man who is quite obsessed with victory.

Otherwise, he would not have been forced to play a closed court for a playoff game for the Thunder later, which directly changed his entire career.

Playing that closed season is Ibaka's peak season, and the later Ibaka is no longer at the same level as the peak.

Three times the first defensive team, the second DPOY, and the two-time block king are all honors before he played the block.

After playing closed, Ibaka is already a role player.

Ibaka originally thought that the Thunder who nurtured him would be the place to stick in his career, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Among some of the details of the trade that Ibaka knows, it was the Thunder who took the initiative to offer him to the Timberwolves, and it was not the Timberwolves who asked for someone.

At this time, Ibaka has a feeling of being abandoned by the whole world.

Do a medical check-up, fly to Dallas, participate in training.

In doing this, Ibaka is like a robot, doing her job.

However, Ibaka, who is training on the field now, has a different look in his eyes than he was numb a few days ago, and his eyes are full of longing.

He still remembers when he first got off the plane, and he thought it was just a random staff member who came to pick him up.

But it was Su Chen who came to pick him up.

In the car, Su Chen chatted with him a lot.

At first, it was like a family affair, and he talked about his hometown, but then he talked about the game.

"I've always felt that the current roster is aiming for a championship, and it's a little bit worse than last season's Warriors, and I've been wondering what the hell is missing?"

"Until I saw you in the game against the Thunder, I knew that Ibaka was the last important piece of the puzzle for the Timberwolves to win the championship."

Ibaka still remembers those words.

Many people think that Su Chen's playoff goal is a fool's dream, but if you think about it carefully, Su Chen has really done it.

He won the championship, and just a few months ago.

After coming to the Timberwolves, Ibaka had a feeling of being respected.

Originally, he has been doubting his life for the past few days, what is he playing for, and is his contribution on the court really valuable?

But Su Chen's words made him suddenly realize.

He only knew that Su Chen wanted to compete for the championship, but he was still almost capable, and he was the one who could help Su Chen compete for the championship!

Serge Ibaka has played championships.

Compared to other people who have been idle all their careers and have a sense of distance for the championship, Ibaka is really close to almost getting it.

But the difference is like a chasm.

The gap between the strength of the Heat Big Three and them is too big, which makes Ibaka feel that the other party is difficult to defeat.

But the man in front of him is the man who has truly defeated the Heat Triumvirate.

What he said, Ibaka believed!

And after going to the stadium to practice with the team, Ibaka also felt that Su Chen's words were not just about painting cakes.

Whether it's on the offensive or defensive end, he's very involved.

Especially on the defensive end, his tactical position is on par with Giannis, the core of the team's training, and even allows him to be the dominant conductor Giannis to a certain extent.

After all, he has experience in the finals and a lot of experience in the playoffs, and Giannis needs to follow his advice even if he is the core of the team's development.

It was not easy to get into a new team.

But I don't know why, after the Timberwolves have played many tactics once, they are as familiar as a thousand times.

This made Ibaka feel that he and his teammates were simply too compatible.

Other Timberwolves players were worried about whether it would be more difficult to integrate with Ibaka after hearing that Ibaka's tactical status was so high.

But in fact, it was too smooth.

According to the filming, it is a one-time pass, and after the rehearsal, it is directly to the extent that it can be performed.

And Ibaka pointed out some defensive details, so that Giannis has also made some progress on the defensive end.

Ibaka's integration with the Timberwolves has been very smooth, as if he and the Timberwolves are old teammates.

What is Thunder?

Uncooked.

And at this time, the warm-up on the field is also over.

The game is about to begin.

Rick Carlisle and Su Chen, shook hands before the game.

After losing twice to Su Chen, Rick Carlisle also put away his contempt and began to take the Timberwolves seriously.

There's a good chance that the Timberwolves will be the team competing with the Mavericks for a playoff spot, and there's no room for Rick Carlisle to wave this time.

The referee walks to the center circle with the ball and allows the other players to take their positions.

Timberwolves starting lineup: Sergi Ibaka (C), Giannis Antetokounmpo (PF), Lore Deng (SF), Robert Covington (SG), Jimmy Butler (PG)

Mavericks starting lineup: Dirk Nowitzki (C), Sean Marion (PF), Vince Carter (SF), Monta Ellis (SG), Jose Calderón (PG)

Originally, the planned starter was Iguodala, but Iguodala is not young and does not need to practice much in the regular season.

Iguodala's strength is still reserved for the playoffs, and by the way, it is also more for Covington.

In addition, with the Mavericks' lineup, it can be seen that Carlisle is really targeting the Timberwolves.

Originally, Samuel Delham Porter was the team's regular starting center, but in this game, the Mavericks directly asked Nowitzki to play center.

However, Carlisle's man who arranged to go to Giannis Antetokounmpo was to let Marion do the right thing.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has proven in the last two games that Potter Daimham simply can't guard him.

Now the league's rules for breaking through the defense have changed, and once you are out of position, you will most likely blow a foul if you make a move.

Rather than this, it is better to let Marion defend against Giannis Antetokounmpo, at least the speed is the right amount of power to carry it.

At the same time, Carlisle also targeted Ibaka, that is, to let Nowitzki play Ibaka, and the others gave Nowitzki enough space to play Ibaka.

At this time, both sides jump the ball.

Although Giannis Antetokounmpo has the advantage of physical talent, the jump ball is not something that anyone can get with a high arm extension, and Nowitzki has the experience to get the ball instead.

Calderon dribbled to the front court and found Nowitzki's position.

Nowitzki was defended by Giannis Antetokounmpo, but Nowitzki didn't play at all, waiting for Marion to come and make a cover.

This forced Ibaka to switch positions and go to Noviski.

Nowitzki found the opposite of Ibaka and did not hesitate at all, and went straight to the back of the car.

While chiseling, he was still watching the defense, and as soon as there was a bag, he would immediately release the ball.

The players on the Mavericks court are all capable of three-point shooting.

The disadvantage of Ibaka's poor lower body strength appeared, and in the face of Nowitzki's back control, there was no way.

Nowitzki didn't feel any threat at all, and found a chance to step back in his most comfortable rhythm.

Brush!

Mavericks 2:0 Timberwolves.

Timberwolves offensive round.

The Timberwolves' offense started with a classic horn position.

Giannis Antetokounmpo borrowed pick-and-rolls from Serge Ibaka and Butler and then drove inside.

But the Mavericks seem to have done a lot of research on the Timberwolves' regular plays, and almost immediately after Giannis Antetokounmpo borrowed the pick-and-roll, the Mavericks' defense shrank to block the breakout.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's instinctive pass to Butler.

Butler is barely enough to shoot open threes right now, and Giannis Antetokounmpo's pass to him doesn't have much of a chance.

If it was the peak Middleton, this space should have been shot, but he was Butler.

Butler hesitated so much, and the opportunity passed.

The Timberwolves couldn't play any tactics this round, and Giannis Antetokounmpo could barely rush inside with the defense.

Defended by the two, Giannis Antetokounmpo not only missed the goal, but also fell near the basket.

The referee didn't blow the whistle either.

As soon as Marion got the rebound, he passed it to Ellis.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was still on the ground and didn't get up, and the Mavericks formed a situation of more fights and fewer fights.

Monta Ellis is very fast, and the Timberwolves can only be forced to shrink with his fast attack.

At this time, Ellis passed the ball directly to Calderon on the outside, and in the face of the Timberwolves' supplementary defense, Calderon quickly passed to Carter Sr., and the Timberwolves' defense was suddenly pulled.

Carter got an open three-point opportunity, and he was not relentless.

Brush!

Mavericks 5:0 Timberwolves.

As soon as the game opened, the Mavericks played a strong performance and suppressed the Timberwolves in momentum.

Ibaka blamed himself a little, he still didn't withstand Nowitzki's attack, and he didn't play a good game on the offensive end just now.

Su Chen, who was on the sidelines, pouted.

He could see that Carlisle had come prepared.

Honk!

Su Chen didn't hesitate and directly called a timeout.

He didn't care about face, he was stopped by Carlisle at the beginning or something.

This was Ibaka's first game for the Timberwolves.

When he picked up Ibaka, he blew a cake for Ibaka, just to let Ibaka regain his confidence and be a cow and a horse for the Timberwolves.

This Carlisle grabbed Ibaka directly, and it hit him in the face!

Carlisle, on the other side, was very proud.

It seems that this Su Chen is like this, he used a little trick to directly beat the Timberwolves so embarrassed.

Honk!

Soon the pause ended, and it was a short pause.

The Timberwolves made no personnel changes.

This made Carlisle a little confused.

The Timberwolves are the best at playing the corner position, and in the round just now, didn't Su Chen understand?

According to Carlisle's prediction, Su Chen should take Covinth down and replace him with Iguodala.

If Iguodala is going to rest more this time, then he should also be on Middleton's projection.

"Butler's three-point ability is not enough, this tactic can't get a chance, doesn't he understand?"

Carlisle shook his head, and his evaluation of Su Chen declined.

It seems that Su Chen only has a few moments, as long as he breaks it, he has no other tricks.

And the reaction ability is also slow, and I haven't realized what the problem is yet.

Su Chen stood on the sidelines with a calm expression.

What Carlisle didn't know was that the reason why he didn't make a substitution was because he had just used [Ability Fix] on Giannis.

"It's really a way to defend Giannis with a striker, but that's the way to do it to rookie Giannis."

Su Chen clasped his hands and looked ahead.

Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn't have to be in the horn position.

While the horn tactic does maximize Giannis Antetokounmpo's ability, in this tactic, Giannis Antetokounmpo's containment ability is very strong.

But don't forget one thing.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, the coach in charge of training the Timberwolves since the draft, has always been Milosevic!

That is, Jokic's coach.

Su Chen has always said that Milosevic has crooked Giannis Antetokounmpo's skills.

Originally, he was good at the face frame singles, but now he has been picked up by Milosevic, who has developed some Giannis Antetokounmpo's back-to-back finishes.

Of course, at Su Chen's insistence, Giannis Antetokounmpo mainly practiced the noodle frame.

In order to increase Giannis Antetokounmpo's range threat, Su Chen did not object.

There is also the ability to organize passes, which he is good at in the first place, but with a few more passing training methods.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's cultivation is a little crooked, but he is not the alphabet brother in Su Chen's impression.

In the Timberwolves' offensive round.

Butler controlled the ball, Giannis Antetokounmpo came up to block the pick-and-roll, and the others pulled away.

Including Ibaka, he also stood in the bottom corner.

Butler and Giannis Antetokounmpo's pick-and-roll, the Mavericks directly adopted a drop-back defense, after all, the projection ability of both men is worrying.

But this ball, Butler passed Giannis Antetokounmpo's side, and Giannis Antetokounmpo ran near the free throw line and received a pass from Butler.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has his back to Marion, who has a mid-range hook and Marion doesn't dare to let him go in this position.

At this time, Butler directly ran back and ran over the other side of Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Defending Butler was Carter Sr., who wasn't as fast and was blocked by Giannis Antetokounmpo.

While Marion was still hesitating to help defend it, Giannis Antetokounmpo actually made a direct back-to-back pass and passed the ball into Butler's hands.

Facing Carter Sr. and Marion, who were already behind him, Butler scored the goal with ease.

Mavericks 5:2 Butler.

Seeing the appearance of this cooperation, Su Chen also smiled.

That's why he's trading Gobert, and it's a regular Timberwolves scoring device he wants to see.

(End of chapter)
