On January 21, Timberwolves lost the Magic 96-97 and suffered a wave of 3 consecutive losses. In this way, the Timberwolves, with 3 wins and 10 losses, firmly occupy the bottom of the Western Conference.
The most hateful thing is that it is uncomfortable to lose even if you lose. Why should you lose 1 point? This feeling of winning but not being able to win is like the Chinese men's basketball team. If you are not strong enough to lose a big score, you can still make people feel speechless. After all, the skills are not as good as people. The big loss is the norm, and it is more acceptable!
In addition, the Timberwolves lose, it is still one What a pity. Because if the Timberwolves can take two more points and narrowly beat Magic by one point, then their record will be equal to the Rockets' 4 wins and 9 losses. If such a result occurs, the Timberwolves will be at least not so lonely at the bottom of the West.
Does the Timberwolves lack talent? No, the other 29 teams in the league certainly don't recognize it. Downs, No. 1 pick in the 15th draft; Edwards, No. 1 pick in the 20th draft; Russell, No. 2 pick in the 15th draft; Culver, No. 6 pick in the first round of the 19th draft; Rubio, The No. 5 pick in the first round of the 2009 draft; Okogi, the No. 20 pick in the first round of the 18th draft... Such a lineup can be said to be full of talent, not an exaggeration at all!
Didn't the Timberwolves pay them? No, Towns has a five-year $190 million contract; Russell has a four-year $117 million contract; even Beasley has a four-year contract. A big contract of $60 million... But what is the situation with the Timberwolves? A standard way of spending money and doing nothing, who would be happy with this situation? Maybe the Timberwolves boss was crying in the toilet,No one can find it!
Of course, if the Timberwolves lose, you can find the reason why Towns has been absent, and Towns can find the reason for the new crown virus. However, before the epidemic, and the Timberwolves did not lack Towns, is the team's record different?
Towns, as the team's boss, has led the Timberwolves to the playoffs only once in the 17-18 season in the past five seasons. But what about that playoff trip? Mostly because of the credit of the league’s top tough guy Butler. In the regular season of the 17-18 season, Butler averaged 22.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. Butler not only has both offensive and defensive capabilities, but also can play key goals. In fact, Butler at the time was the real boss of the Timberwolves.
Russell has also played in the NBA for five seasons. Only in the 18-19 season, the Nets experienced a playoff game. As the team’s boss at the time, in the regular season of the 18-19 season, Russell averaged 21.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 7 assists per game. He was also selected as an All-Star, but the All-Star score was a bit embarrassing. Replaced the injured Oladipo. Moreover, Ding Wendi that season, the regular season has been able to average 16.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists, the Nets can break into the playoffs, mostly due to Ding Wendi and other Titans.
Beasley just joined the Timberwolves last season. In the 14 games he played, he averaged 20.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. The Timberwolves see Beasley's good scoring ability. In the past, Love Money directly gave a big contract like fate. However, Beasley, who got the big contract, was so innocent. He even abandoned his wife and abandoned his son. He went to hook up with and Pippen's ex-wife, who was twenty years older than him. Such a titan is simply unconscious. Lord.
Edwards,An upright big champion, the new season will be able to average 12.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists, but the shooting percentage is only 35.9%, and the three-point shooting rate is only 27.5%. In fact, this is the data that the Timberwolves let him average 13.1 shots per game. Originally, before Edwards played a regular NBA game, he was considered by the outside world to be a defender who played on his body, and his shot was extremely unstable. As a result, he is now in constant exposure...
What? Data brush?
Indeed, these core players of the Timberwolves are mostly data brushes. They all have beautiful data, but they cannot help the team win. No wonder the Timberwolves are the last one!
Downs: Averaged 22 points, 12.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. It has been criticized by the outside world for insufficient confrontation...
Russell: Averaged 21.4 points per game, 3.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists, one of the typical players with offense and no defense...
Beasley: Averaged 19.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. He is also one of the players who only sees the basket...
