Shou Ye won the best of the week, and the Timberwolves officials couldn't wait to announce the news, and put this news on the most prominent position of Shou Ye on the official website.After Garnett left, this team has received very little attention in the entire NBA. After finally having a chance to gain a sense of presence, it is naturally not easy to miss it.
In the 4 games last week, Shou Ye's Timberwolves achieved a record of all victories.He himself averaged 4 points, 19 rebounds, 12 assists, 8 steals and 1.25 block in these 1 games.Although he didn't reach 20+10, he averaged 8 assists per game, and included a triple-double. This performance, combined with the team's record, deservedly won the best of the week.
Chicago United Center.
Shouba is very familiar with this arena.In the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs last season, his 76ers played against the Bulls.Although several months have passed, the scene at that time seems to be still in front of us.
For the Bulls, Rose can basically be reimbursed this season. This team, which ranked first in the East last season, really can only count where it goes this season.No one believes they can still be No. [-] in the Eastern Conference this season, and no one believes that they are still a championship team without Rose.
The current record of the Bulls is 3 wins and 2 losses. This team lacks a backcourt engine, but its defense is still the top in the league, and it is still a playoff-level team.
The Timberwolves played back to back in this game, and physical fitness is a big test.What's bad for them is that not only the team's internal and external core Love and Rubio cannot play, but the team's substitute core Barea is also unable to play in this game due to physical reasons.This makes their rotation a little stretched.
For the start of this game, the Timberwolves continued the set of starts during the 5-game winning streak.The starting lineup for the Bulls is basically the same as the Bulls in the playoffs last season. It is nothing more than Rose can't play, and the old guard Hinrich is in this position.
The old opponents all know each other. Shou Ye faced Gao Yuanyuan and David West last time. This time he faced Anti-Bone Boy and Noah. It was really a confrontation from a pair of hunks to another pair of hunks. Hour.
In this game, Shou Ye's touch was still affected by the opponent's defense, and he didn't get too many good opportunities.But the difference is that his teammates in this game are not as good as the previous game, so the situation has been being controlled by the opponent.Especially the bench lineup. After the lack of Barea, the Timberwolves were almost killed by the opponent's Gibson and Nate Robinson.
In this game, Shou Ye faced many strong men. In addition to the two starters, there were also substitutes Gibson and Mohamed. It was simply from "man" to "man".
This is a game with a lower score than the previous one.In this defensive battle, the offenses on both sides were extremely constipated.In the end, the Bulls, who were still playing at home, relied on the advantage of the bench to defeat the Timberwolves 87:80, ending their opponent's 5-game winning streak.
Shou Ye was pinched by his opponent in this game and took very few shots. He scored 8 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 5 fouls.
This is the first time he has not scored in double digits this season, and it is also the team's first loss.
After the defeat, the visiting team's locker room was a little quiet. Obviously, the loss of this game was a bit unacceptable for some overconfident players.You must know that they killed the Pacers with a full lineup in the last game, but they actually lost to the Bulls without Rose in this game, which is indeed psychologically unacceptable.Moreover, the team's offense was restricted by the opponent from the beginning to the end of this game, and the game was very difficult. Everyone couldn't count how many irons were hit.
It was the veteran Roy who spoke in the locker room, encouraging everyone to cheer up. Losing doesn't mean we can't do it.Someone who speaks is better than no one. His words of consolation, as professional players, actually understand these principles. When he said this, I felt better, and the frustration of the players disappeared.
Shou Ye is the calmest person. He played against this Bulls team in the playoffs and knows how good this group is.The offense of this Bulls team is really not very good, but in terms of defense, even without Rose, it is still the top tier in the league.Back-to-back away defeats to opponents like this are not so unacceptable for the Timberwolves, who are currently short of major generals.
The main reason is that the previous 5 consecutive victories made the people of this team start to be optimistic, and it can even be said to be a little inflated, feeling that they can really wrestle with strong teams.But in fact, the overall strength of this team is only to hit the playoffs, not a strong team for the championship. This point is impossible to have a substantial change, at least this season, if the team personnel does not change.
Shou Ye's points in this game are not as good as the previous games. It is the lowest of his 6 games this season, only 3515 points.
He guessed that in addition to not being good enough personal data, the team's loss may also have an impact on the number of points, which has been verified in previous seasons.
Originally, he hoped to get the points quickly and then activate the reward module, but the points in this game made him only hope that he would win the game + personal data burst in order to achieve his goal quickly.
Shou Ye imagined that if he had already activated the reward module for the honor of the best of the week, what kind of reward he might get, but now because this module has not been activated, he has no hair.
Because of the loss in the away game, the Timberwolves, who were supposed to stay in Chicago for one night, did not stay. They flew directly to Dallas overnight to prepare for the next away game against the Mavericks.
Before getting on the plane, Shou Ye excitedly sent a message to his old friend "Little Black Brother" Beaubois in Dallas: "Rodrigue, my brother, here I come!"
If anyone is Kotobuki's best friend in the NBA, it's Rodrigo Beaubois.
Beaubois was Shou Ye's roommate when he first entered the NBA. The two were rookies in the same class and had lived in this city that was easily discriminated against for two years.
Even Concubine Han was once jealous that Shou Ye liked Brother Hei and not her, which shows how strong the relationship between the two is.
The Mavericks announced in the offseason that they would implement Beaubois' team option for the final season, which will be the last season of his rookie contract.He will be a restricted free agent next season and can test the waters of free agency.
Beaubois didn't do well in the Mavericks, he didn't make it in the starting lineup, and he was still a substitute.The outside world's expectations for his next contract are that it will be difficult to exceed the full middle class.
Compared with Shou Ye, who has already won a tens of millions of contracts, Beaubois' situation is obviously much worse.
