Beijing time on November 28, the Timberwolves challenged the Spurs away. In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Spurs 113-101 and won the second consecutive victory. The Spurs swallowed a two-game losing streak, which was also the tenth defeat in the last 11 games. The Spurs' record this season was 6 wins and 13 losses. This game lost in the final quarter, which was exactly the same as the previous match against the Lakers. The Spurs' tactics became very single in the final quarter. DeRozan singles, Ade singles, and Forbes singles. From the scene, the skills were disorganized. The Spurs were still leading by 2 points in the first quarter. The Timberwolves overtook 10 points in the second quarter, but the Spurs were only 4 points behind after the third quarter. The Spurs had hope of winning this game. I really don’t know what happened to the Popovich , which is planning and winning thousands of miles away. They have been repeatedly setbacks in the final quarter.
In this game, the Spurs made their opponent score more than 110 points. The Spurs lost more than 110 points in the last 11 games. The Spurs' defensive efficiency has dropped to 27th in the league. Wiggins and Towns' offense in this game made it difficult for the Spurs to limit. Wiggins 36 minutes in the game, 7 of 16 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, scored 26 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 43.8%, 60% of three-point shooting percentage, and a goal difference to the Spurs on the court. 6 points; Towns made 8 of 14 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, scored 23 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 57.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 42.9%, and a 5-point shooting percentage of the Spurs on the court. The two stars combined to score 49 points, 22 rebounds and 8 assists. The two scored 43.3% of the team. It is obvious that the Spurs did a poor defense of these two. In addition to tactics and systems, they were just a matter of enthusiasm. Assisting defense and filling positions was too slow. I felt that many players were absent-minded on the court. Wiggins felt a little better and would get 30+.
Spurs' double Germans have already fought for their own games. Aldridge has not supported many games. Mercedes-Benz has 10 of 19 shots, 1 of 13 points, 22 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, with a net loss of 24 points on the court, with a shooting percentage of 52.6%. The data is so outstanding, but the plus and negative value is so bad. It can be imagined how low Ade's contribution is. He made 1 of 4 in the last quarter and only scored 2 points. Aldridge, the core of the Spurs, played very unhappy. The same is true for DeRozan. He made 8 of 16 shots in 34 minutes of the game, scored 20 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 50%. DeRozan won perfect data again. DeRozan was still connected to the entire team, but he didn't work hard to defend and lost 8 points on the court. Both DeRozan lost his energy, how could the Spurs win?
The Spurs are really a mess. The Spurs, which were struggling to defend with their lives, are gone forever. Derek White, Forbes, and Dezontae Murray, each of the three young backcourts, each had small plans. Murray played 13 games and was then transferred to the substitute by Popovich, which made him very dissatisfied. In this game, he made 4 of 8 shots, scored 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. His performance was actually better than Forbes and White. White made 2 of 9 shots and only 9 points and 6 assists, Forbes made 3 of 13 shots, 1 of 8 three-pointers, and only 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Murray was naturally dissatisfied with being a substitute. The conflicts in the Spurs' locker room have become more and more obvious. Popovich can no longer suppress these contradictions. The probability of the Spurs entering the playoffs this season is slim.
First DeRozan cleared his ins, and this move was seen as a precursor to the transaction. After all, he failed to reach an early contract renewal with the Spurs this summer. He could win a four-year, 130 million early contract renewal contract, but the Spurs did not talk to him about renewal. In addition, he has been deeply involved in trading rumors. His cleaning of IG this time may mean that the transaction is coming.
DeRozan cleared ig Dezhangtai Murray unfollowed the Spurs' official ins again. He must be dissatisfied by the coaching staff. After renewing the contract with the Spurs for 4 years and 64 million yuan in October, he originally thought that he was still the Spurs' starting lineup, but he didn't expect Popovich to play as a substitute, and still let two people who are not as strong as him start. Murray is already extremely dissatisfied with the coaching staff. With such serious internal worries, how can the Spurs' team play the game unanimously? I don’t know how difficult it is to win a game next.
