At 7:40 pm on March 23, 2014, the Timberwolves' away game against the Grizzlies was about to start.

Looking at Sun Ce on the opposite side, Love was very unwilling to give up. He almost partnered with Sun Ce, but the Timberwolves management didn't know what he thought. Seeing the Grizzlies' offer, he wanted the Lions to speak loudly and not add to the small one.

Thor and Paul George, instead, Paul George also want at least three top ten picks. This asking price is not high in people's opinion, and he is worth at least two No. 1 picks.

However, the Grizzlies have Sun Ce, and the record cannot be much worse. Moreover, the Grizzlies want to trade Gasol Jr., and other teams cannot exchange Gasol Jr. with too many high picks for Gasol Jr.

Well, because I know that if a team like the Grizzlies asks for a high pick, it will definitely be for the next transaction, and it is unlikely that the Grizzlies, who have won two consecutive championships, will complete a three-party transaction.

When Gasol Jr. was sent to other teams, the Grizzlies had no bargaining chips that matched his Love's salary, and the Grizzlies had decided to focus on the outside trio.

Judging from the experience of Kobe and Yao Ming, Kobe and Garnett having a partner opportunity but failing to succeed, Lof is very clear that if he missed the opportunity, he really missed it. At least they are both in the moment.

I really missed this stage in the early and mid-term of my career.

On the other hand, Sun Ce, who had just greeted Love and returned to his home for the final preparations before the game, said to Whiteside: "Hasan, look at the opposite side, Love, Pekovic, you can wait a moment

You will definitely come on the bench. When you attack, you don’t care about anything else, just be responsible for grabbing offensive rebounds and hitting them!"

"..." Whiteside listened to Sun Ce's words and didn't know how to answer.

He really can't say much confidence in himself. He entered the NBA in 2010 and only played one game in the first year, 18 games in the second year, and played in the Development League for the rest of the first two years.

Last season and this season, I played in the low-level league of China NBL.

Just returned to NBA, this superstar who was attracted by his "talent" and allowed the team to keep him to go with Love, who averaged 26 points and 13 rebounds per game this season, and Pei, who averaged 17 points and 9 rebounds per game.

Kovic, the inside double tower hard steel in the first few days of the league! Whiteside felt like he was dreaming...

But finally signed the contract, the third brother...Whiteside heard that young players such as Klay Thompson, Paul George, Larry Sanders called Sun Ce like this, so he followed suit. Since the third brother told me this.

Then Whiteside just followed the instructions.

When he was guided by Dave Joggel yesterday, Whiteside also understood the team's demand for the inside - mainly defensive rebounding, and offensive rebounding was a lifelong grab.

After ordering Dabaibian to go and Love, Pekovic hard steel, Sun Ce was full of expectations.

Looking at Love opposite, Love has suffered a lot of injuries in the past two years. He missed nearly 50 games last season and was injured again after the All-Star Weekend. After missing 10 games, he returned. The Timberwolves have completely stayed away from the Western Conference playoffs.

Fight.

The Timberwolves went from 29 wins and 27 losses to his comeback to 32 wins and 34 losses. The 10 games he was away from, the Timberwolves won 3 wins and 7 losses, and now 34 wins and 35 losses. The 3 games he returned to Love, the Timberwolves

With a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, Sun Ce clearly felt the difference between Love and the past few years.

After reimbursing most of the season last season, this season's return, his playing style has changed significantly. He is more willing to cooperate with his teammates and is no longer obsessed with data. The Timberwolves' record has also reached the best year since Love entered the NBA.

Sun Ce feels that Love has begun to develop in a favorable direction to win, otherwise he will definitely compete with Jordan Jr. Drummond for rebounding. His condition can be completely compete with the two, but he did not, but Peco

Vic gave up space and began to develop outside.

Sun Ce never felt that Love changed his playing style to pitchers in just two or three months after joining the Cavaliers. This season, Love has made 2.5 three-pointers per game, three

The hit rate is 37.5%.

Love's average three-point shooting average is ranked eighth in the league after Curry, Sun, Klay Thompson, Lillard, Harden, Kobe and Korver!

Originally, the Cavaliers were attracted by Love's three-point restraint ability and used two No. 1 picks to exchange for Love, instead of Love's three-pointers only when the Cavaliers developed it.

And this is an adjustment based on a good inside line like Pekovic.

This means that Love has really made changes from the data-first mentality!

It’s a pity that Love was injured at the most critical moment in the playoffs after the All-Star Weekend, and the Timberwolves fell directly from the playoff competition team.

Now Sun Ce is a little curious. James has bought a school district house. The Grizzlies want to get Love through Gasol Jr.’s space transaction failed. At least he didn’t have the chance to get Love before 2016. Where will Love go next

?

This superstar who averaged 26 points, 13 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, has begun to work hard to help the team win, which may still affect the league structure.

...

At 7:58 pm, Sun Ce put on his equipment and made his starting lineup with Klay Thompson, Paul George, Amir Johnson and Larry Sanders.

The Timberwolves sent Rubio, Kevin Martin, Cory Brewer, Love and Pekovic.

"A-Rubio, 9.5 points, 8.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 2.2 steals...

a-Martin, 20 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist...

Brewer in B+, 12+2+2… This guy has been 40+1 twice in the past 3 games since Love’s comeback…

Love at the s-level, Pekovic at the a-level..."

After playing, Sun Ce quickly looked at the ability evaluation of the opponent's players. Compared with the past, the Timberwolves' lineup has not changed much, and they are all talent-exploding!

However, this season, Love, the strongest Timberwolves, has transformed his personal data into a boost to win.

It's time for Love to win, and Sun Ce clearly felt this, so Love went to the Cavaliers in time and space, gave up a lot of things, and fell directly from the 26+13+4.4 data to

16+9, this sacrifice is not small compared to Garnett's drop from 20+10+5 to 18+8+3. And Love was only 26 years old at that time! Garnett's age, who is not in his 30s.

Based on this, the opponent's lineup, whose talents have always been very explosive, has developed some strength slightly.

But Sun Ce still feels that the Timberwolves' talent has achieved such a record and still fails to fully develop their potential. In other words, Sun Ce thinks that their lineup is not very good, and the record of 34 wins and 35 losses is entirely due to talent.

Well, Love, the strongest player, wants to win from the inside out, and starts to strive for victory.

Only Kevin Martin is the only one in the outside trio who has a accurate shot, and the best shot in the team is Love, the power forward.

The competition begins at 8 pm!

Larry Sanders easily won the jump from Pekovic's head as the referee threw the ball into the air with a whistle.

The two teams performed very well on the defensive end this season. The Grizzlies averaged 103.9 points per game, and the Timberwolves averaged 104.4 points per game. The big brother doesn't talk about the second brother, after Larry Sanders won the jump ball, Sun Ce

Get off the wings with Amir Johnson!

Paul George received the ball and slapped Sun Ce. Sun Ce rushed into the opponent's three-point line and received the ball. Pekovic, Brewer and Rubio attacked him!

Sun Ce stopped urgently and raised the ball. After the opponent was attacked, Amir Johnson rushed into the free throw line and immediately hung on the right side of the basket. Amir Johnson rushed into the inside and dunked and scored two points.

The opponent's defense is very inclined! It is obviously for him, the first scorer who scored more than 30% of the team's score.

Sun Ce reads the data ranking every day. The latest statistics are that his average average of 34.1 points is still ahead of Durant's average of 33.5 points, so he calmly chose to organize the offense.

Their ability to win so many games in the past few games under adverse circumstances has a lot to do with his lack of rush to score points, and his way of passing the ball if he should pass the ball.

When the Timberwolves attacked, Love came up and took a three-pointer to catch the ball and hit a space!

He is working hard to show his changes, especially when facing teams with superstars on the other side, Love works extra hard. He already knows this season that like Garnett, he doesn't have a real All-Star player on the outside.

, he was unable to lead the team to achieve too good results. Even if he didn't hurt those 10 games, he rushed to the seventh and eighth position in the West after the end of the day. Then he had no relationship with the champion in the first round.

When the Grizzlies attacked, although the opponent scored a three-pointer, Sun Ce was not in a hurry. After receiving the ball in the frontcourt, he analyzed the opponent's defense.

The opponent's defense at the basket is very strait! Especially when facing the Grizzlies' current team with no shooting ability in the interior duo, Pekovic's 133 kilograms can be said to be the pillar of the sky under the basket, James

Even if you rush in, you can't hit it.

But there is also a way to deal with it. Sun Ce moved to the 45-degree angle on the right, signaling Paul George to the left side of the top arc, and then waved to Larry Sanders to pick-and-roll!

The one that expanded was Love. Sun Ce expected that after Love was pulled out, Larry Sanders blocked Brewer. Sun Ce did not use the pick-and-roll attack. The opponent Love could defend against the mid-range shot, and Pekovic was at the basket.

It was very arrogant. Sun Ce passed it to Paul George on the left side of the top arc. At this time, Amir Johnson had already gone out to pick and roll for Paul George according to the tactics planned before the game!

Pekovic had to pull out, Paul George had a mid-range shot!

After Sun Ce passed the ball, he immediately pulled to the baseline, taking Love and Brewer away, Paul George passed the ball after pick-and-roll, and Larry Sanders, who cut in, received the ball and made a layup!

The Timberwolves ranked eighth in the league with averaging 106.6 points per game this season, which is very powerful, but the Grizzlies averaged 111.3 points per game, the strongest in the league!

At the beginning of the game, Sun Ce took the initiative to give up scoring on the offensive end, even giving up assists, saving energy while restraining the opponent's defense, giving Paul George a better chance to sort out the offense.

When it comes to the defensive end, they limit the opponent as much as possible. Although they were shot by Love on the opponent at the beginning, their lineup is fast and they quickly locked the opponent's outside shot.

However, the opponent's singles at the basket and Love's low post back-playing game are really unpredictable. The inside can't stand people. In addition, Brewer, who is currently in the explosion stage, will continue to explode today!

In the past three games, the Timberwolves played against the Lakers, Warriors and Heat, and achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. Brewer played against the Lakers and scored 44 points against Kobe and 35 points against Wade.

Faced with Harden, he scored 31 points... Brewer abused all the strongest shooting guards of these three generations!

The Timberwolves' defense is correct, but that is a matter of ability. There is motivation and motivation to change. After the Timberwolves were played by the Grizzlies in the beginning, they firmly guarded the basket.

Would rather be shot from the Grizzlies in the distance.

The shooting percentage of mid-range shots is definitely not comparable to that of layups. When the Grizzlies failed to make a shot from the outside, Love and Pekovic knew that Brewer was in good shape recently and specifically helped him get the position. After Brewer won the rebound

When they launched a counterattack directly, Sun Ce and Paul George could not defend themselves!

The first quarter was 6 minutes and 51 seconds. The two teams have been fighting back and forth for this period of time, and scored 22-21! The Timberwolves, who was 1 point behind, called the timeout first!

Sun Ce's data in the first half of the first quarter was not very good, with 2 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, and the pace was fast. When they fell into the position, they would sit and play in the two towers in turn. They had no height advantage and no weight advantage.

It was too cruel to attack the opponent, and Brewer's counterattack made Sun Ce jealous!

Recently, the strong team has been in a hot state and helped the Timberwolves defeat the Lakers and the Heat, and scored 8 points in half a quarter!

He also experienced the peak Brewer's ability to catch rebounds and counterattack, which was indeed great. Sun Ce felt that if Westbrook could learn this ability, Westbrook would be invincible. It's a pity that this is talent.

Fortunately, Mr. Sun has the chance to get this skill! You can get it by winning the first place in triple-double this season.
