Chapter 141 The Huskies Are Distracted

If last season's best soap opera was the Spurs' Kawhi applying for a trade, then this season is definitely the Timberwolves' Jimmy Butler applying for a trade.

Although due to Thibodeau's various price hikes, several transactions were aborted, and Jimmy Butler was temporarily kept.

But if you don't trade away, by next season, Butler will become free, and the Timberwolves will have nothing to change, so this season will definitely have results.

But recently the Timberwolves can be said to be undercurrents. On the day the Spurs just defeated the Bucks, the well-known NBA uncle Dangwoj updated on Twitter. The Timberwolves trained. Butler led the third team, which is the few at the end of the drinking fountain. Blowing up the leading starting lineup of Towns and Wiggins.

And Butler made an extremely inspirational speech after the game.

"Am I being too hard on them? Yes, I am.

I'm not the most talented player on the team.

Who is the most talented player?It's Downs.

Who is the most favored player of God?It's Wiggins.

Who is the hardest-working player?it's me!

I play hard and put my body on the court or practice or play every day.

This is me!my passion!
That's how I make anyone aware of my existence. "

This sentence can be said to be quite inspirational. Jimmy Butler had a very rough childhood.

First of all, black players don't know who their biological father is.

Then she was abandoned by her mother because she thought she was ugly, and stayed at a relative's house.

Later, when he played basketball well and won the trust or sympathy of his classmates, he stayed with them, and his mother became his adoptive mother.

At this time, Butler's life had color, until he played in the NCAA and NBA, he knew that only by working hard and giving everything can he survive.

Towns and Wiggins are players who grew up with golden keys. They are not only talented, but also enjoy the love of their parents from middle-class families. However, they grew up in a honey pot and lack the energy and blood of competitive athletes.

In this intra-team game, more details were revealed. When Towns was about to play back inside, Jimmy Butler yelled, I will defend and prevent him from scoring, and then Towns dared not play...

Putting it on those veteran players, I dare not even think about it. Jordan or Kobe, whoever was not accidentally won by a player in training, must fight back.Even after Harden was defeated by Green once last season, he dragged Green until he won to end the training session.

It can be said that this is a problem with the management. The Timberwolves management only wants to sell tickets to make money at this stage. The championship?too far away.

Although the news of being blown up by Jimmy Butler spread throughout the league.

The Spurs players still see through and don't tell the truth, as if they don't know. After all, they are friends in private, and it's meaningless to talk about these things.

Popovich didn't have any special arrangements. He played with ordinary tactics. The Timberwolves were fine last season, but this season they changed back to the Huskies.

Towns scrambled for the ball, butler stepped forward to directly control the ball and began to advance.

Facing DeRozan, Butler called Gipson's pick-and-roll. They are old players, and they didn't overcome any conflicts. They played all the way from the Bulls to the Timberwolves.

Through the cover, Butler rushed directly to the basket at a high speed, and after touching the meat with Gasol, he scored the first point for the Timberwolves with a throw.

DeRozan also called Adelaide's pick-and-roll here, and then made an emergency stop jumper.

Towns served to Teague. After halftime, after 5 seconds of blind luck, he started to break through Murray.

Murray was only a second-year rookie last season, but he has already been selected to the second team of the best defense. Teague's breakthrough is really not enough.

In the last 3 seconds, it came to Towns, who was one step inside the baseline three-point line, and the pot was taken... After a panic shot, Gasol received the rebound.

Murray held the ball for half court, Xiao Hang found a screen and then caught the ball, and also rushed into the inside line, making a small throw. Towns had no sense of defense at all, waited at the basket, and then had to serve.

Jimmy Butler was obviously isolated. In the first ten shots of the Timberwolves team, he only made two shots.

This is the first time that many fans have complained about this kind of situation where the team has so many hearts.

Under such a rhythm, the two teams had a shocking point difference in the first quarter.

The Spurs were 31 to 11 and led by 20 points in the first quarter.

The Timberwolves' 6 points here came from Butler who couldn't catch the ball on loan, while Towns scored 2 points, Teague scored 2 points, and Wiggins scored 1 free throw.

The starting players are like this, and the substitute players are even more discouraged. Mills came on the court in the 10th minute and made 2 of 2 three-pointers. The defensive strength of the Timberwolves is his favorite.

However, at the beginning of the second quarter, Butler continued to be on the court, with a substitute lineup, and played a wave of 14 to 2 attacks. Mills defended made 2 turnovers.

34 to 25, the point difference instantly entered single digits, but Downs Wiggins was talking and laughing with other players on the bench, turning a blind eye to Butler's efforts.

Popovich decisively replaced Xiao Hang and DeRozan here, and quickly contained the Timberwolves' offensive.

Although Butler is working hard, his talents are really limited. Now he averages 20 points per game, 2.3 steals and 0.9 blocks per game is his ceiling.

Xiao Hang is taller than him, and his arm length is even more crushing. In the matchup with Butler, he can not fall behind just by relying on his personal talent. Adding his original skills, the ratio is 6.5 to 3.5.

Think about any competitive person who is more talented than him but not motivated at all, he must be "pissed off" with envy, and he must be thinking how good this talent can be for him, so that he can achieve better results .

Xiao Hang doesn't know much about Butler's past. If he knew, he would understand. Although he has always been called a genius, he wants to use this talent to exchange for the happiness of his parents. Now he is using his talent to pursue his own life. He helped his mother get the best medical treatment in the country, and earned himself a salary that was unimaginable a few years ago, and now that he became famous, the Green City government began to investigate the truth of his father's unjust death.

Fighting against a team alone, Jimmy Butler's back looks lonely, and he struggles every time he scores, but the expression on his face is still determined, without a trace of giving up, leading his teammates in the third team to play hard on the court .

Teammates made mistakes, no complaints, no accusations, only guidance, and he knew the strength of the players at the end of this group of benches.

Jimmy Butler wants to win, Thibodeau wants to win, yet Towns and Wiggins just come to work.

107 to 98, the Spurs defeated the Timberwolves by 9 points.

Towns had 25 points and 11 rebounds, which is a good number.

Wiggins had 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, which is not bad.

巴特勒25分7个篮板4次助攻3次抢断2次盖帽，很全面。

The Big Three of the Timberwolves played really well, and then the victory was taken by the Spurs.

After the game, Butler and the Spurs players shook hands and hugged each other, with a smile on his face, and he was not discouraged at all. He was the most hardworking player in the team every game. Xiao Hang saw that the other players of the Timberwolves did not work hard. , I also appreciate Butler's enthusiasm for basketball, and I can only hope that he has a good next home.
