In the end, the Timberwolves successfully received a courier from New Yorkers in Madison Garden. The efficiency was extremely high. It was ordered a day ago and received today. This speed is comparable to JD Logistics in the United States.
Through this game, the Timberwolves successfully moved up their winning field again, a little more away from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
During this period of time, the Timberwolves' boys were obviously full of energy, and their excitement in the game could not be sustained.Ever since they fell out of the top eight in the Western Conference, this group of young lads have a much stronger desire for the playoffs. Some things are cherished only after they have been lost, especially Love and the others, although they still have a playful smile in daily training , but the hard work in training has not been missed at all, such as running back and forth, shooting training, etc., and they are proceeding in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the team's assistant coach.
During this period of time, the Oklahoma City Thunder did not have a game. This news is undoubtedly a boon for the Timberwolves. Taking advantage of this period of time, the Timberwolves can completely increase their record and widen the gap in victory. They can also take more initiative in the tug-of-war for playoff spots.
Facing the New York Knicks, Li Shihao scored 26 points and 11 assists, which is very rare for him. After the tactical arrangement of the head coach Frank Vogel, Li Shihao did not play a lot of singles with the ball, which dropped a lot. , the scoring points in the Timberwolves are very average, Marc Gasol has the ability to attack inside, and the efficiency of singles at the basket is stable and efficient. Great sex.
In terms of perimeter, Ryan Gomez has made great progress this season. He doesn't take many shots, and most of them are open long-range shots from the outside. Li Shihao and Brewer attract double-teams for him, and Ryan Gomez is watched on the court. The time has been greatly reduced, and the efficiency of shots has been guaranteed a lot. This season, he can contribute 7.8 points of firepower per game.
The combination of Brewer and Li Shihao is also very tacit, empty cuts, fast break dunks are good at it.
Li Shihao is not Michael Jordan. The team's original triangle offensive tactic has been gradually abandoned. The current basketball tactic is to narrow the space defensively and expand the space offensively. Sufficient offensive space is obviously difficult for most teams in the league.
Most outside players in the league rely on first-hand breakthrough skills in their offensive methods. If there is not enough space, it must be very difficult to use them. A careless move is very likely to repel the bitter fruit.
The offensive end is mainly based on running positions and pick-and-rolls to create space. Li Shihao and Marc Gasol are the two most important points on the inside and outside of the Timberwolves. a lot.
Under such circumstances, the time for Li Shihao to occupy the ball is greatly reduced. He usually distributes the ball after halftime, and hand it over to Brewer, Love, and Gasol Jr., while he looks for a good opportunity to attack. Finding the right opportunity, Love and the others will pass the ball in an instant, and the offense with enough space for shots is undoubtedly extremely efficient.
Li Shihao understands very well that he is not a top scorer like Kobe and Pierce. They can rely on their extremely sensitive sense of smell on the offensive end to find scoring opportunities from double-teams and narrow spaces. Li Shihao asked himself if he has such an ability. Yes, and this style of play requires too much physical fitness. Li Shihao is obviously not good enough in this regard. If he plays this way, it is hard to say whether he can persist until the end of the season. After all, he is not a muscular man known for his strength and physical fitness. .
This style of play is quite similar to today's Spurs, and it also has many coincidences with Popovich's coaching philosophy. Love and the others even speculated that the head coach Frank Vogel had a job under Popovich. experience.However, with the exposure of the media, Frank's resume is obviously not at all glamorous, and the elements are mostly self-taught.
The old Spurs rely on a strong offensive and defensive rotation to easily stand out in the highly competitive Western Conference. Any team in the league has to weigh their strengths when they encounter them.
Today's Timberwolves are far less good than the Spurs on the defensive end, but the tacit understanding of offensive tactics is increasing day by day, and their performance in the game also has a bit of the charm of the Spurs.
After the battle with the New York Knicks, the Timberwolves have only the last two games left in January. The Timberwolves are about to go to Cleveland to face the Cavaliers led by "Little Emperor" LeBron James.
This season is a year when LeBron James' data exploded. Although he suffered a losing streak at the beginning of the season and lost to the Timberwolves for a while, the "little emperor" James quickly recovered his form and led his Royal team. The Cavaliers have made great strides all the way, hitting the No. [-] position in the league.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, which have the best record in the league, are obviously not the Cavaliers at the beginning of the season. This Cavaliers has completed the evolution of the season and is extremely strong. They will also have the strength to fight against the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.
This season, James is looking forward to the sky, and finally waited for the reliable helper that the Cavaliers management found for him. The joining of "Shark" O'Neal and Antawn Jamison gave LeBron James a new dose Cardiotonic, the little emperor obviously saw new hope.
This season is his best hope to win the championship. With the help of O'Neal, his good brother Wade won the championship ring ahead of everyone in the 03 class. Shark" O'Neill was able to grow up under the shelter, and everyone understands the terror of this big shark.
Now that the Sharks are old, there are still a few ways to know, but James understands that as long as the Sharks maintain their combat effectiveness for ten to twenty minutes, it is enough to open up a path for him to the playoffs.
This season LeBron James is ambitious and aims to win the championship. He was fooled by Duncan's lie in the finals. Now he wants to re-enter the finals. He firmly believes that no one can stop him this time!
Not only the championship, but also the MVP of the regular season. He even wants to take the position of the king of the league in one fell swoop and break Kobe Bryant's dominance.
Therefore, in this away game, the Timberwolves will not be easy. The "Full Zhan" who averaged 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game will come forward with his troops, which will give the Timberwolves the greatest resistance in the winning streak!
