NBA beast center

Chapter 190 The first opponent

In the three games of this season, Shou Ye's 3-pointers did not reach the expected level. Although it has something to do with the opponent's targeted defense, he himself is not satisfied with his performance.So after completing the routine training tasks, he began to practice 3-pointers.

Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman sees Shou Ye's extra shooting practice. In his opinion, compared with those young people who squander their talents, Shou Ye is worth learning.

The Timberwolves' opponent in the next game is the Magic in the East.

After the Magic traded away Warcraft, their strength has dropped a lot. No matter how their management insists that the team will not rebuild, the fact is that it is impossible for them not to enter the reconstruction now.The body is honest, but the reality is cold. When you end the season with the lowest record in the Eastern Conference, you will also change your attitude, and you will "work hard" to lose a few more games, strive for a lower ranking, and strive for a higher draw picks.

In fact, the Magic fired the team coach Stan Van Gundy and the team's general manager Smith after being out of the game last season, and traded the team's core Warcraft in the offseason. If this is not a complete reconstruction, then it really is. Rebuilt the team too.

For teams in a small ball market, it has always been the most realistic and effective way to rise to the top of the list and rely on draft picks to accumulate talent.

On the evening of November 11, the Timberwolves played at the Target Center.

The on-site attendance has increased compared with the opening game. It is very simple. The team has an excellent record and momentum. As a Huskies fan who has not enjoyed the joy of winning streak for a long time, this is really like a holiday.

So how happy are the fans of the Lakers and Celtics. These two teams have won more championships in NBA history than the other 28 teams combined.

For a team like the Timberwolves that has never won a championship, their fans are indeed easier to satisfy.

In the locker room of the home team, when Shou Ye put on the No. 14 white home jersey, a fighting emotion bloomed in his body instantly.

Neither Love nor Rubio will play in this game, but he is still confident that the team will win the opponent.If Love and the others don't fight, so what?I'm here, we can win!

Shou Ye's self-confidence is stronger now than last season. He feels that he is in a very good state and is not afraid of anyone.

When practicing before the game, Shou Ye felt that the atmosphere tonight would be quite good.The fans are very enthusiastic, and the winning streak has made this team very confident from top to bottom.

Although their opponent Magic lost Warcraft, their record since the start of the game is not bad. They currently have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss with a winning rate of more than 5%.

In the magic circle, Shou Ye saw a familiar figure.This person is Vucevic, his teammate with the Philadelphia 76ers last season.

Vucevic became a bargaining chip in the Warcraft deal and was sent to the Magic.For the 76ers, the determination to rebuild seemed unshakable.

As a home player, Shou Ye took the initiative to hug his teammate Vucevic from last season.

Vucevic is also very happy to see Shou Ye here. The two were competitors for the backup center last season, but now that the sea has changed, both of them are no longer in the 76ers.

Shou Ye feels that Vucevic's trade is also very good. He will not be reused in Philadelphia. The Magic will have a lot of time at the 5th position after losing Warcraft. As a young center, he is expected to be trained by the team.

Trees move dead people move alive, since the old club doesn't want to train you, it might not be a bad thing to change to a team that is willing to train you.

The Magic's lineup has changed a lot compared to last season. Except for Turkoglu and Nelson, the other 5 players in the starting lineup that entered the finals that year have left the team.

And even these two will not play in this game.

In this game, ABC commentator John Smith and former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy are responsible for the commentary.

The starting lineup of the Timberwolves in this game remains the same as in the past 3 games.

The Magic's starting lineup for the away game is Vucevic, "Big Baby" Glenn Davis, Josh McRoberts, Antoine Moore, and Aaron Afflalo.

Both Afflalo and Josh McRoberts were players acquired in the Warcraft trade in the offseason. Josh McRoberts is considered an addition, and Afflalo averaged 15.2 points and 3.1 points per game for the Nuggets last season. Rebounds are considered a good immediate combat power.

The structure of the Magic's starting lineup is somewhat deformed. Although this lineup is not the kind of "death five" or "death five short", they have a center (Vucevic), two power forwards (big baby and Josh Mike Roberts), two shooting guards (Moore and Afflalo).But now the two most popular positions in the league are small forward and point guard.

Perhaps the only explanation is that Turkoglu and Nelson, who were supposed to start, didn't play, but the problem is that if they don't play, you won't be able to play in this position, but can they play?

Jacqui Vaughn, a head coach with almost zero sense of presence, succeeded Van Gundy as the team coach.

The only advantage of the Magic using such a head coach is that it doesn't take much money to break the contract to fire him, and it won't bring much negative impact to the team, because it is difficult for such a coach to have any appeal.

Shou Ye played the finale for the second time this season, and he was warmly cheered by the home fans.This feeling is really cool, at least from the appearance ceremony, he played as the core of the team.

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Shou Ye and his former teammate Vucevic were preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game was about to start.

At the start of the jump ball, Shou Ye lost the jump ball to his opponent for the second consecutive game, and the Magic won the first wave of offensive ball rights.

Moore dribbles over and organizes the offense at the top of the arc.

The biggest problem with the Magic's wonderful lineup is not that the frontcourt is too big, but that there are no 3-pointers.If we talk about the size of the frontcourt, the Thunder's frontcourt size is also big enough. The schoolbag for playing small forward is 211cm.

Without a 3-pointer, the penalty area will be very crowded, and neither Afflalo nor Moore are good 3-pointers, which makes them encounter the problem of offensive space from the beginning of the game.

The big baby is ready to get out of position in the low post, but Derek Williams chooses to go around and not give an easy chance to catch the ball.

Moore himself was not a point guard, and this fleeting opportunity was difficult to grasp, so he gave the ball to Efflalo.

Afflalo hit Roy with his back, turned over and hit the iron with a jumper!

The big baby grabbed the offensive rebound and was directly blocked by Shou Ye!

Shou Ye block +1!

The ball was grabbed by AK47, and the Timberwolves counterattacked.
