Chapter 192 Getting better
"Boss, are you looking for me?" The day after the game against the Grizzlies, Da Zhuang called LaVine into his office.
When he learned that Da Zhuang was looking for him, LaVine was also a little uneasy. After all, he was criticized in the game yesterday and he thought he was going to be criticized again.
Seeing this guy standing at the door, looking like he wanted to come in but didn't dare, Da Zhuang also felt a little funny.
To be honest, these players in their rookie season are easier to manage. If they really became superstars, even if they were dissatisfied, they would not criticize them in front of so many people like yesterday.
"Come in, I have something to ask you."
"Boss, I know I was wrong. Really, Vince told me this when I came to training today."
I was very happy to hear this Da Zhuang. Before he said anything, this guy started to admit his mistakes, and then the next thing would be much easier to handle.
"Zach, you have to know that the reason why I chose you is that I hope you can become the core of the Timberwolves in the future. So he not only needs you to have core abilities, but he also needs you to constantly improve and learn. Another thing is that
You must have a healthy body. Competitive sports focus on the results, not the process. If every goal we score in every game is very beautiful, no one will remember us if we lose the game. The reason why Mr. Jordan
It will always be his honor to be remembered.”
"I understand, boss."
"One more thing you need to know is that playing like you did yesterday is a waste of your physical talent. Such a waste will shorten your career. I have already told Vince that you should talk to Vince more often.
And Chauncey, please communicate more and ask for advice, some of their experiences will help you learn a lot."
"Yes, I understand, thank you, boss."
"Go ahead."
The conversation with LaVine was very effective, and there was a significant improvement in the subsequent training.
Although such a change takes time, at least it shows that he realizes it.
The Timberwolves' regular season progress is also going smoothly. Just like what Da Zhuang said at the press conference after the first game against the Grizzlies when returning to Kate's question, he hopes that the Timberwolves can
Be down-to-earth and play every game well.
After training last season, the dark horse color of the Timberwolves has gradually disappeared, and what appears is the kind of confidence and momentum that only strong teams can have.
In addition, what gave Dazhuang enough confidence was the cooperation of the system. I don’t know why after a season, the system seemed to have lost the habit of causing trouble, and it also cooperated with Dazhuang’s team building plan against the Timberwolves.
Almost every game will have a buff for rookies.
On October 30, the Timberwolves welcomed the Detroit Pistons at Target Center.
Facing the Pistons, who were still in the process of rebuilding, the Timberwolves showed no mercy and defeated the Pistons 107-84.
After a day's rest, the Timberwolves continued to play at home on November 1st and ushered in their first three consecutive victories of the season. This time, the Chicago Bulls fell at the center of the target.
109 to 100.
It is worth mentioning that Rose, who Chicagoans have pinned their hopes on, has still not returned after being reimbursed last season. However, a previous report by a local Chicago news media said that Rose's possible comeback will be postponed to December.
.
The Timberwolves' winning streak continues to move forward in a down-to-earth manner.
On November 4th, the entire Timberwolves team came to the Barclays Center Arena in Brooklyn, New York. After two days of rest, the Timberwolves faced the Nets.
Facing a group of retired veterans, the young Timberwolves did not give these old people any face.
Easily defeated the opponent 99 to 87. This also ushered in his first four consecutive victories.
Looking at Garnett in front of him, Da Zhuang was also a little hesitant. Milt had approached him before, and when Glen Taylor was still the team owner, he had led the transaction that allowed Garnett to return to the Timberwolves, and this matter
The push was good, but then Glen Taylor was no longer the team owner and the matter fell by the wayside.
Milt also found Da Zhuang and asked his opinion on this matter.
Da Zhuang has been hesitating about this matter. It's not that Da Zhuang has any opinion on Garnett. To be honest, someone who is still playing in the league at this age deserves respect no matter what. What Da Zhuang is worried about is that if Garnett
Returning to the Timberwolves, with his position in the hearts of Timberwolves fans, he is worried that it will affect the balance of the team's locker room.
The current Timberwolves have a very reasonable mix of old and new in Dazhuang's opinion. With Carter and Billups maintaining the locker room, plus the team's core Oden's current status in the team, the current atmosphere in the locker room is very good.
Harmony, Da Zhuang was worried that if Garnett returned and the locker room became tense again, it would be a big trouble.
In addition, Garnett's return is more of a sentiment and does not help at the competitive level.
Just after the game, Garnett came over to say hello, and you could tell what Garnett meant.
Forget it, go back and look for Milt. You still have to fulfill your destiny when it's time to fulfill it. After all, no matter what, Garnett was once the symbol of the Timberwolves. If the Wolf King is no longer the Wolf King, who will be called the Wolf King after the Wolves retire.
Looking at Garnett's back after he left, Da Zhuang also made a decision.
After ending the game with the Nets, the Timberwolves' winning streak continued. On November 7, the Timberwolves came to Miami to face the Heat.
It is a continuation of last season's finals, but both the people and the game process are very different from the finals. In this game, even though the system has a five-white buff for the first time this season, the Timberwolves are still in the American Airlines Center
Not giving the opponent the slightest chance.
Sitting on the sidelines, Da Zhuang knew that the Heat, which had left James, would have a long rebuilding process. Wade was old, Bosh had nothing to do against Oden on the inside, and neither Middleton nor Shuhao Lin could do anything on the outside.
They all gave the Heat enough suppressive power.
What Da Zhuang didn't expect was that this game without buffs would be the most disparate game the Timberwolves had played since the start of the season.
121 to 83, this was the final score at the end of the final four quarters.
With a score difference of 38 points, the Heat faced their finals opponent from last season and it can be said to be a rout.
"The opponent is stronger than last season, but we are weaker than last season. The gap between us has not been narrowed, but enlarged. This is why we lost. We must
Face up to this gap, face up to the problems that exist within yourself, instead of living in the glory of the past." At the post-game press conference, Spoelstra also frankly admitted the gap with the Timberwolves.
