Next.

The media was also surprised by the recent strong performance of the Timberwolves.

"Still No. 1 in the West!" 20 days after the victory over the Spurs, the Timberwolves are still strong! 》

"The rise of the upstarts, the chaotic west ushered in another spoiler. 》

"All-Star is approaching, can Su Chen become an All-Star coach?" 》

According to the Timberwolves' schedule, there are only a few games left from the All-Star.

If the Timberwolves' record can be maintained to the All-Star level.

Then there's a very outrageous thing.

Su Chen may be about to become an all-star coach.

Su Chen, who was originally an assistant coach, won the championship in his first coaching season, not even a full coaching season.

This is already outrageous.

He left his old championship club in the offseason and joined a Timberwolves team that couldn't even make the playoffs last season in order to gain management.

In such a short period of time, Su Chen brought the Timberwolves to the regular, and he may also become an All-Star coach in his second season.

Is there anything more legendary than this?

Fans also expressed their opinions on social platforms.

"Although I don't think the Timberwolves can go far in the playoffs, Su Chen is really powerful."

"The Timberwolves are going to return to the playoffs, how long will it take for our Kings, Su Chen has a chance to come to the Kings in the offseason!"

"Last season's championship coach, if this season's All-Star coach is successful, then the best coach of the year can't run away, right?"

"Our Clippers have a best coach and a championship coach who can swap coaches with the Timberwolves."

"Team fans, let's take your Rivers and continue to bind, we can't afford it."

"Let's see if the Timberwolves' record can be sustained, if the All-Stars are still the first in the West, then it is estimated that the playoffs have stabilized and can even defend the top half."

"Su Chen's contract with the Timberwolves is only one year, and next season, other teams still have a chance to grab Su Chen."

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with Su Chen being a manager, the transaction is not discussed for the time being, the draft vision is too ruthless."

The social platform is once again full of topics about the Timberwolves and Su Chen.

Whether Su Chen can serve as an all-star coach has even caused some companies to open the market.

With almost ten games to go, the Timberwolves are one win ahead of the Spurs, and then the Timberwolves are probably ahead of the same game.

However, there are already a lot of blocked dogs, and they ran to buy Su Chen to be an all-star coach, trying to make a wave.

Los Angeles.

The outside world is finally optimistic about the Timberwolves.

In tonight's Timberwolves away game against the Lakers, the Timberwolves pulled this one.

In this game, the Lakers old Nash rarely played.

Nash fed Nick Young and Wesley Johnson more threes after he found out they were doing very well.

The Timberwolves lost their last game against the Lakers.

In this game against the Lakers, the Timberwolves used almost the same method, or because the same person lost.

Nick Yang is a real pull when he pulls, and he is also a real top when he is topped.

The Timberwolves, who played away in this game, were relatively tired, and Butler did not play.

Iguodala was a little absent-minded, and he was in charge of defending Nick Young, but he didn't make it to the colander.

The interference that should be given, or some of it.

But Nick Young is smooth and unreasonable at all.

Middleton's buzzer-beating three-pointer missed, and the Timberwolves didn't send the game to overtime.

Lakers 101:98 Timberwolves.

The loss to the Lakers turned the Timberwolves' record to 34-10.

Previously, Su Chen also said that those teams that often lose to the Lakers are collectively known as tank teams.

Accidentally, the Timberwolves also turned into a tank team.

The Lakers didn't win much this season, but many of the teams that won were strong teams.

Won the Clippers at the beginning, and at the beginning of the Warriors' run-in, they also won the Warriors.

After killing the Grizzlies twice, he won another game against the Trail Blazers.

Now they have a 2-0 record against the Timberwolves.

This season, the Lakers are a standard rich and poor team.

Regarding the loss of this game, Su Chen actually didn't care too much.

The Timberwolves only have a high win rate against the tank team, but basketball is a thing that the tank team can beat the strong team when it feels explosive.

In the long regular season, there are always times when players are tired, and losing a game to the tank team is not a big deal.

However, Su Chen didn't care, but the outside world quarreled.

The outside world has always been not very optimistic about the Timberwolves and Su Chen, but this time, it was finally optimistic.

In minutes, the Timberwolves pulled their hips.

Especially some of the blocked dogs who bought the Timberwolves, at this time, they scolded the Timberwolves and Su Chen.

In order to recover losses, many dogs bought more, and Su Chen couldn't be an all-star coach.

Trying to protect the principal in this way.

Losing is not the point, the key is losing to the Lakers, which is simply unforgivable.

In the next Timberwolves game, there are still many strong opponents.

For example, the next game is the Thunder.

Then there are the Trail Blazers, who have won against the Timberwolves before, and the Rockets are not weak.

The Pacers, who are also the No. 1 player in the East, are the game after the All-Star break, otherwise the Timberwolves' recent games have been even tougher.

But the Timberwolves are an existence that Dudu Dog can't guess at all.

After being defeated in the last game against the Lakers, the Timberwolves also won against the Thunder.

And it was won in the first game of a back-to-back.

Everyone originally thought that the Timberwolves could win the Thunder in the last game because of Durant's hand problems.

But this Timberwolves still limited Durant.

The easiest way to face the Thunder is to go all out against Durant, and let him play if Wei Shao can play.

Originally, Thunder was not so easy to target.

Ibaka has a certain limiting effect against Giannis Antetokounmpo, and with Ibaka sweeping on the inside, neither Giannis Antetokounmpo nor Butler is so easy to attack.

But after trading Gobert, the Thunder are too easy to target right now.

Gobert was buttery on the offensive end, and the multi-package made Durant's passes to Gobert all difficult passes.

At the same time, on the defensive end, Giannis Antetokounmpo can also be asked to find a match with Gobert.

It can only be said that if the Thunder can't think of a way to integrate Gobert into the team this season, it will be difficult for the Thunder to make the playoffs this year.

With a win over the Thunder, the Timberwolves' record became 35-10.

Brooks' normal expression was very serious, and the deal made by the management gave him a problem.

He is not good at adjusting the lineup, but more about encouraging the players and managing the relationship between the players.

It's not a chicken soup thing that management has made such a big adjustment, which makes Brooks very impatient, and the Thunder's record has been falling behind recently.

Rankings.

Although the Spurs also won, the Timberwolves are still in first place in the West with the same record.

The Timberwolves have created such a record, from rebuilding the team to holding the first place in the West for the time being.

The popularity of the players in the team is also soaring.

To say that the Timberwolves are the most popular, it is Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Although Su Chen joined the Wolves team and made a earth-shaking transformation of the Wolves team, the players also have a lot of credit.

Just like those dynastic coaches and players in history, in fact, they all achieved each other.

The creation of each dynasty is actually a story of Maxima and Bole.

As the first core of the Wolves team, Giannis Antetokounmpo has naturally become the central figure, and his popularity is rising rapidly.

Western forwards include Durant, Griffin, Monsters, Aldridge, Duncan, Davis, Iguodala, Cousins, Pau Gasol and others.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's vote now ranks third among these people and is almost certain to be selected as an All-Star as a substitute.

Even James didn't do the rookie selection as an All-Star.

Throughout history, there have been more than thirty people who have done it.

Griffin in '10, Da Yao in '02, Duncan in '97, Grant Hill in '94, O'Neal in '92, David Robinson in '89.

Going back up, it is the big dream Jordan, and there are already more ancient gods.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was named an All-Star as a rookie, becoming the third man of the century.

But it also makes perfect sense.

The team that is the first team in the West, the first core of the team is not selected as an All-Star, which is indeed a bit unusual.

The Timberwolves' ball market is small, and Love is not the same as being an All-Star.

And if it weren't for Giannis Antetokounmpo's rookie status and the small-ball market, he would have even been able to surpass Griffin's ticket to catch up with Durant.

Butler is also basically an All-Star substitute in the Western backcourt.

However, in the original timeline, Iguodala's votes were okay, and with the blessing of the first place in the West, he should have been able to rush to the All-Star.

But the votes were given too many points by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler, and the base of the Timberwolves was not that big.

To Iguodala, there are not enough votes.

And the league doesn't want a new team, and it's good to have three All-Stars and two All-Stars all at once.

But within the team, Iguodala doesn't care too much about this All-Star honor.

Iguodala's idol is Penny Hardaway, not like the young people of that era, and most of the idol is Jordan.

Even when the 76ers were at the core, Iguodala's offensive desire was not as strong as a desire to score.

He still prefers to pass the ball, play tandem and score when the team really needs him.

After Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler showed that they were good enough to take on the team, Iguodala also saw it openly, and he was happy to be a support.

He was not selected as an All-Star, in fact, because of his weak offensive desire, which made his fans feel that it was difficult to vote for him.

New Orleans.

On February 15th, All-Star will be held in New Orleans, and now the whole city has begun to have an all-star atmosphere.

It's February 7th.

The Timberwolves came to New Orleans, naturally, not to participate in the All-Star Games, but to challenge the Pelicans on the road.

There are a lot of people paying attention to this game.

Mostly still some tuots.

This game almost decided whether the Timberwolves could enter the All-Star as the No. 1 in the West before the All-Star break.

The gold content of Su Chen, the all-star coach, is also very important.

The Timberwolves' victory over the Thunder yesterday was the first game of a back-to-back, and it was the second game of a back-to-back that really tested the team's physical strength.

In this game, Iguodala was directly rested, and Lore Deng was also directly rested.

The two players are on the older side, with Iguodala injured during a 20-game winning streak this season, while Lore Deng also has some old injuries.

Back to back, Su Chen still considered letting them rest more.

However, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler, the two young cores, still participated in this game.

Butler, in particular, is particularly durable.

Thibodeau used Butler as a bull, and it took so many years to injure Butler.

In terms of durability, Butler is simply the industry model.

Players from both sides take the field.

Timberwolves starting lineup: Mike Muscala (C), Giannis Antetokounmpo (PF), Robert Covington (SF), Chris Middleton (SG), Jimmy Butler (PG)

Pelicans starting lineup: Alexie Akinsa (C), Anthony Davis (PF), Al Farouk Aminu (SF), Eric Gordon (SG), Tyrek Evans (PG)

In this game, Su Chen put Middleton, Covington and Muscala as the starters.

It is normal for Lore Deng and Iguodala to rest and let the two outside starters.

Ibaka did not take a break this time, but let Muscala start, which is why Su Chen wants to save some Ibaka.

An inside line like Ibaka, which is heavy and fast and bounces high, needs to be saved.

It's also about developing some Middleton, Muscala and others who are in the rotation for the playoffs.

As for the Pelicans, it is all the main force.

They're at home and they're facing the challenge of being number one in the West, so it's clear that they're serious.

Monty Williams also wants the players to play against strong teams more.

The other party's coach Su Chen is also very familiar with this Monty, who is the Monty coach of the Suns later.

In this game, the Pelicans still attach great importance to it.

Everyone is also concerned that the Timberwolves are resting two main players in rotation and putting one main interior player on the bench.

Will they still be able to win this back-to-back match.

Although the Pelicans are not a strong team, they are also a team that is barely hovering on the positive record.
