The Pistons are a tank team this season, and they don't play in a disciplined way.

The Timberwolves were still playing at the beginning, but as they fought, they also started a chaotic battle like the Pistons.

Both sides have entered a state of chaotic fighting to grab points.

Milosevic was in the VIP audience and shouted wonderful.

In the end, it was the Timberwolves who had the best fighting skills.

Pistons 95:97 Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves are on the road, with a hard-fought victory.

The game didn't get much attention and didn't attract much attention at first.

Halfway through the fight, more and more people came to watch the live broadcast.

The Timberwolves, who still hold the No. 1 position in the West, didn't know where the head coach was going, and Milosevic became the acting coach.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen didn't play, and the Timberwolves, who are the No. 1 in the West, had so much trouble playing a tank team Pistons.

The next game is a back-to-back for the Timberwolves.

Su Chen still didn't play.

Milosevic continues to represent the Timberwolves as head coach and travels to the Raptors in Toronto.

The Raptors aren't messy.

At the beginning, the Raptors were also pressed and beaten by the Timberwolves, but after a few timeouts, rookie coach Milosevic couldn't stand it.

The veteran coach Kessie deliberately played a more chicken thief tactic, so that Milosevic could not react.

Milosevic is a training coach, and in the face of such an experienced coach, there is no way to fight back.

It's purely by virtue of the players' self-play.

This is back-to-back, and the Timberwolves have rested the main lineup in rotation, and there is no way to do it.

Raptors 113:95 Timberwolves.

The Raptors, who were at home, beat the Timberwolves by a big margin.

This was followed by an away game.

This time in the face of the Bucks, the Timberwolves actually flipped again.

Bucks 101:90 Timberwolves.

In the face of a bad team, the Timberwolves were able to lose by a double-digit point difference.

This can't help but make people see the gap between coaches.

In fact, Su Chen's help to the team is not just those advanced tactical concepts.

His own increase in the players is also huge.

The most important thing is [simulated glasses], which makes many of the Timberwolves' tactical systems unable to play.

Without [Analog Glasses], the Timberwolves can only play some simple tactics, and a little more complex and changeable will have a lot of mistakes.

This is still the situation that the team itself has been running in for most of the season.

At the same time, without [fixed stats] for Giannis Antetokounmpo to maintain 80% of his strength at the peak, Giannis Antetokounmpo only has the strength of a rookie, and it is difficult for him to become the core of this tactical system without a lot of bonuses.

The Timberwolves have a large number of forwards, and when Su Chen is on the floor, the bonding of forwards will increase the full ability of these forwards by 10%.

Now there is no striker bondage, which is a big weakening for the team as a whole.

A large number of fronts do not have a core that can break the game, you can refer to the later Raptors, and the scoring still needs a point guard and a center.

Originally, Giannis Antetokounmpo was the core of this, and Butler could also become the core of the second leader with a 10% bonus from the striker.

However, when these two cannot be the core, without a point guard and a center to play blocking and pick-and-roll system, it is difficult for the Timberwolves to score points consistently.

Under the league's new rules, there is no future for defense alone.

In addition, Milosevic himself is a training coach, and coaching can only be said to be a little understood.

Such a timberwolves, only when they hit the pistons, the pistons didn't react.

In the face of the Raptors, he was directly timid.

Even the Bucks can stomp on the Timberwolves.

Next.

"The Timberwolves lost two in a row, and head coach Su Chen was on vacation in Miami. 》

"The most irresponsible coach in history, the team hit the playoffs after a long absence, and the head coach took turns to rest himself! 》

"Analysis: The Timberwolves without Su Chen's coaching have plummeted! 》

Su Chen's outrageous behavior immediately attracted the attention of the public.

On the Timberwolves' official website, head coach Su Chen is also in a state of rotation rest for three games, and then click to view details.

The approval of head coach Su Chen to take three rounds of rest was approved by general manager Su Chen.

This is simply an outrageous event in the history of basketball.

Then the reason for approval was that head coach Su Chen was not in good spirits and was physically and mentally exhausted and needed to rest.

But the paparazzi photographed Su Chen in Miami, enjoying the sun on the beach, and spent money to find two bikini beauties to massage him.

Su Chen in the photo is smiling like a flower.

Do you call this a bad spirit?

In short, the coach of the Timberwolves is outrageous!

But it was Su Chen's rotation of his three games that made people see what kind of timberwolves this timberwolves were.

It can be said that Milosevic's coaching ability is not good, but no matter how bad it is, Milosevic also has a coaching certificate.

People sometimes feel that the influence of a coach on a team is not as high.

For example, Phil Jackson is always said that his grandmother can win championships when she coaches Jordan Pippen.

Milosevic is not anyone's grandmother, he is a serious child, he has a coaching certificate, and he has a professional level.

But the Timberwolves coached by Milosevic and Su Chen are simply two teams.

One is facing a playoff powerhouse, which can play back and forth.

The other is to fight the tank team, and even be beaten by the tank team.

There is such a big gap between Su Chen and a professional coach with a professional certificate.

This also made many people in the industry begin to have a new understanding of Su Chen.

I thought that Su Chen was more capable, after all, he could bring the Warriors under Mark Jackson and almost eliminated by the Spurs to the championship.

Then he brought the perennial weak team Timberwolves to the first place in the West.

Su Chen himself was also elected All-Star head coach.

This is enough to show that Su Chen is powerful.

But these three games are to give Su Chen a picture of the strength gap between Su Chen and other coaches.

Someone really served Su Chen.

But there are also people who are hard-mouthed and feel that there are too few games for reference, and the gap between Milosevic is a training coach and an ordinary head coach is not small.

Regarding the remarks of the outside world, Su Chen didn't care at all.

Milosevic is still a little sorry, but in fact, Su Chen's three games are all away, and he has a plan for the team to rest.

Originally, Su Chen's plan was to lose all three games and afford to lose.

Unexpectedly, Milosevic won one more game.

Su Chen did not blame Milosevic.

After resting in Miami for a few days, Su Chen also entered a state of full strength.

In the remaining 23 regular season games.

Su Chen won with a 15-8 record.

Compared to the ferocious momentum at the beginning of the season, the win rate is much lower.

But the Timberwolves have had a very good rest, and the core players are basically physically sufficient.

With the game against the Jazz played, the Timberwolves officially ended.

This season, the Timberwolves have a record of 59-23.

Although they did not have the record of first place in the West, the first place in the West is the Spurs, who have 62 wins this season.

But for the entire Timberwolves, it's something to celebrate.

The owner, in particular, Taylor, finally doesn't have to be treated as a joke.

You know, in the offseason, Tyler, as the owner of the Timberwolves, was the target of ridicule across the league.

Even if Su Chen signed the VAM agreement, what was the use?

Su Chen's big deal is that he doesn't receive a salary, but the Timberwolves players and the first round were traded out by Su Chen, and if they can't make the playoffs, the Timberwolves will become a joke in league history.

But Su Chen also lived up to the trust of the entire Minnesota, and stepped into the playoffs with the second place in the West.

As the regular season ended, so did the standings.

Westward.

1. San Antonio Spurs.

2. Minnesota Timberwolves.

3. Golden State Warriors.

4. Los Angeles Clippers.

5. Oklahoma City Thunder.

6. Houston Rockets.

7. Portland Trail Blazers.

8. Memphis Grizzlies.

Western Conference First Round Matchups:

1. San Antonio Spurs vs Memphis Grizzlies.

2. Minnesota Timberwolves vs Portland Trail Blazers.

3. Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets.

4. Los Angeles Clippers vs Oklahoma City Thunder.

Su Chen's appearance still has a great impact on the west.

For example, the Thunder, who were originally ranked second, fell directly to fifth place after making a trade with the Timberwolves.

At the same time, the Trail Blazers, who were originally in fifth, fell to seventh.

The seventh of the Trailblazers actually has some sayings.

On the one hand, it was because of the rise of the Warriors, who were originally behind them, that they were squeezed out of their original positions.

There is also a reason why the Trail Blazers are seventh, because the Trail Blazers have a bit of a sense of picking opponents.

The Rockets and Trail Blazers also have the Grizzlies, and all three teams want to pick the Timberwolves to play.

It's a bit like the Kings led by Fox and Sabonis Jr., who made the playoffs for the first time in the top half.

Everyone wants to pick them up.

Young and inexperienced, compared to other teams, the playoffs are much easier to play.

The same is true for the Timberwolves this season, who have not made the playoffs for so many years, and they are second in the top half of the conference when they return to the playoffs.

The first is the veteran powerhouse Spurs, and the third is the defending champion Warriors.

Comparatively speaking, the second-place Timberwolves look a lot easier to play.

With the Timberwolves locked in second place, the three teams grabbed the seventh position, which was quite intense.

The Grizzlies and Rockets didn't rob the Trail Blazers, who emerged victorious in this race for seven.

They have been in the second half of the season and will be a bit more dominant than the other two teams.

The match with the Timberwolves was a 2-2 draw.

Compared to the Warriors' record against the Spurs, the Timberwolves are indeed a good fit for their opponents.

The outside world is also very optimistic about the Trailblazers for this group of matchups.

Before the game even started, Hei Qi was already screaming loudly.

The other duel is also more interesting.

The Spurs and Grizzlies are old rivals, and the Spurs were also blacked out by the Grizzlies.

Fans want to see the excitement of the black seven and black eight at the same time, and there are many supporters of the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies.

After all, the grizzlies really did it.

The core of the Timberwolves roster is too young and has no playoff experience, and this group is also unstable.

They were able to finish second in the West, largely because they had a blasted start and won 20 consecutive games to boost their record.

The other two groups of duels in the west have relatively low attention.

Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets.

Let's test the quality of the defending champions, and also test the quality of Harden released from the Thunder.

Another group, Los Angeles Clippers vs Oklahoma City Thunder.

It is the empty city led by Paul Griffin Jr. Jordan to face the Russian city of Shuangshao.

Let's see how far the Thunder will play against the Clippers after going through a trade.

In addition, the ranking of the eastern side.

1. Indiana Pacers.

2. Miami Heat.

3. Toronto Raptors.

4. Washington Wizards.

5. Brooklyn Nets.

6. Chicago Bulls.

7. Charlotte Hornets.

8. Atlanta Hawks.

Matchup situation.

1. Indiana Pacers vs Atlanta Hawks.

2. Miami Heat VS Charlotte Hornets.

3. Toronto Raptors VS Chicago Bulls.

4. Washington Wizards VS Brooklyn Nets.

The eastern side is not much different from the original timeline as a whole.

The change was more obvious for the Bulls, who fell from the top half to sixth in the East after trading for Love.

Fortunately, the East is weak overall, and they have not fallen out of the playoffs.

Otherwise, without Lore Deng and Butler, who would have exploded this season, they really wouldn't have made the playoffs.

The gap in strength in the east is still relatively large.

The strong teams that can really be regarded as the first echelon in the league are the Pacers and the Heat.

Of course, the Nets, which have formed an elderly All-Star, are also expected by fans, whether they will stage a counterattack.

Overall, the eastern part of the country is significantly less interesting than the western side.

There is still some time before the playoffs begin.

In terms of ESPN, an overall team strength ranking is also released.

Rankings: 1. San Antonio Spurs.

[Reason: The Spurs have shown consistent strength this season, and the team's Leonard has ushered in growth this season, and the GDP is still efficient on the court. 】

[They have the strength to win the championship, so their overall strength ranks first.] 】

Ranking: 2. Miami Heat.

[Reason: Despite losing in the Finals last season, they are still the strongest team on paper, with James and Wade still among the top five players in the league.] 】

[The ceiling of this team may rely on Bosh's play, and his performance has been questioned in the past few years.] 】

[At the same time, Coach Spo's ability to control this team has weakened, and the role players have become older, which is the reason why they are in second place.] 】

Ranking: 3. Golden State Warriors

[Reason: As the defending champions last season, their overall squad has barely changed, and the team has also strengthened Brewer. 】

[But the departure of championship coach Su Chen is a blow to the Warriors' tactical system, but Kerr is very good at this system, and the team has gradually formed a system in the second half of the season. 】

[If they can make it out of the West and face the Heat, who were eliminated last season, they may have a chance to defend their title, so they are in third place.] 】

As for the top three teams, they are not ranked one by one, but they are just roughly speaking.

The Pacers and Clippers, followed suit.

After all, the Pacers are the No. 1 team in the East, and if they can break out of the East, they still have a good chance.

Last season, they played a tie-break with the Heat, so they also have the strength.

In addition, the Clippers are also favored, and the reason why they are ranked fifth is because they have too many strong opponents in the West, so they can only be in fifth.
