Chapter 639 Iron Handsome Thibodeau

Chapter 639 Iron Handsome Thibodeau

At present, Wiggins has not expressed his views to the outside world.

But what is certain is that the good friends Downs and Russell must be very excited!

After learning of the swap with Wiggins and being traded to the Timberwolves, Russell immediately expressed his joy to everyone on social media.

"I talked with Towns about playing together during the offseason, but I didn't expect this wish to come true so soon. I am very happy to play with my good brother. I hope we can create a good chemical reaction."

During the NCAA period, Towns and Russell played together at the famous basketball school University of Kentucky.

At present, the inside line of the Timberwolves need not worry.

Towns has proved to countless fans that he is one of the most trustworthy inside players in the NBA.

But the Timberwolves' outside line has always lacked a qualified attacker and organizer.

From this point of view, Russell, who is in the position of the Warriors and Curry, is the best candidate for the Timberwolves.

Russell relied on his precise three-pointers and his excellent performance when he led the team alone during the Nets period. He has three-pointers, is organized, and has the ability to finish, which has won the trust of Towns.

In the game against the Lakers, the Timberwolves' desire to win is not very strong.

After various turmoil, the Timberwolves are destined to be unable to enter the playoffs in the new season.

So the Timberwolves have a very relaxed mentality. When they face the powerful Lakers, they just want to further adapt Towns and Russell.

After the game started, Davis beat Towns with a jump ball and kicked off the game.

Thibodeau, the head coach of the Timberwolves, is a typical conservative, and he is also a well-known "Waste Star No. [-]" in the league.

In Thibodeau's coaching career, countless stars have fallen.

Sometimes I imagine that the reason why Wiggins is so healthy in the Timberwolves may be related to Thibodeau.

The former Thibodeau was the coach of the basketball god Bulls.

In a few years ago, Jordan's warm-up in Chicago had not yet completely passed. In a few years in Chicago, it was also the "basketball temple" that countless young players dreamed of.

It's a pity that the rising Bulls, in Thibodeau's old-fashioned "giant planet" tactic, brought down the Bulls that almost achieved rebirth from the ashes.

Next, let's recall a few superstars who were discarded by Thibodeau.

Noah is Rose's best friend in the NBA.

At that time, the two were in the Bulls, one on the outside and the other on the inside.

At his peak, Noah can be regarded as one of the best centers in the league. He won DPOY with his tough defense and outstanding high-post support ability. He is an enhanced version of Dream Chaser Green in the current Warriors.

As a jack-of-all-trades insider, Noah plays with passion and hard work, and is one of Rose's best helpers.

Thibodeau relies heavily on Noah's defense and generally plays more than 36 minutes per game.

Just imagine, the average big player in the NBA, inside, has to constantly engage in muscle friction with his opponent every minute and every second.

Noah has been in the game for a long time, and he has to fight with his opponents for more than 36 minutes, which directly caused Noah's shoulders and knees to be injured one after another.

In the last season, Noah only played 43 games, and he was reimbursed hastily for the season.

Since then, a generation of centers has fallen.

Ruhr Deng.

Back then, Luol Deng was the top small forward in the league after James, and a common nightmare for the league's forward players.

Similarly, Luol Deng is also the most solid support for Rose, Noah and Thibodeau.

As a striker with no shortcomings, he has a simple and unpretentious style of play. He is proficient in defense, air cuts, post-ups, and catch and shoot. He was the Bulls' qualified third master at the time.

Back then, Thibodeau preferred to use Luol Deng to defend the opponent's top star. He averaged nearly 40 minutes per game in the regular season and 45 minutes per game in the playoffs, second only to James.

But it's the same old saying.

Not everyone's physical fitness can compete with James.

A large number of giant planets, beyond the physical limit of Luer Deng.

In the end, everyone knew the result. Luer Deng was abolished, and now he has completely disappeared in the NBA.

Even new players, maybe they have never even heard of the name Luer Deng...

Rose.

Derek Rose, Windy City Rose.

Rose's peak originated from the Bulls, thanks to the training of Thibodeau, the iron coach, making the 2008 champion Lang the youngest MVP in league history.

At his peak, Rose was invincible, with super levers, flat-basket dunks, and long-distance raids.

He was the most popular and famous guard in the league that year.

Rose at his peak, even James, had nothing to do with him.

However, with Thibodeau's extensive use of Rose, Rose averaged 37 minutes per game, and as high as 40 minutes in the playoffs, which eventually caused Rose to be seriously injured and never recovered.

Thibodeau is largely responsible for that.

Tie Shuai stubbornly believes that the limits of stars are all forced out.

Therefore, Thibodeau has used the starters for a long time and did not give the starters a chance to breathe, so that the Bulls' new dynasty, which had an infinitely bright future, collapsed overnight.

It's a pity that Rose has been reduced to a role player because of this!

Thibodeau's last superstar used by the Bulls was the Miami hero well-known to new fans, Jimmy Butler.

After Rose's fall, Thibodeau quickly strengthened Butler as the core of the team.

Butler's physical fitness is much stronger than the above three. He averaged 37 minutes per game and had full attendance in 82 games. He can be called an NBA iron man small forward.

Butler is good at both offense and defense, and Thibodeau is very dependent on Butler.

But in just three seasons, Butler suffered a serious injury to his left knee and was forced to stop.

In the end, Butler left the Timberwolves, trying to escape the oppression of the devil's head coach.

Unexpectedly, after Butler fled to the Timberwolves, Thibodeau was also waived by the Bulls and became the head coach of the Timberwolves...

What is love at the corner?

Butler met Thibodeau again. This time, Thibodeau finally did not miss the opportunity. In February 2018, Butler injured his knee again.

This injury directly caused Butler to remove a meniscus.

Now that Butler is going to Miami, it seems that he is desperate and doesn't want to continue playing for Thibodeau!

Wiggins' health-preserving basketball style of play can be forgiven to a certain extent.

If Wiggins comes to the Warriors and can really become tough, maybe we can still cleanse Wiggins.

Yangsheng Mamba is a smart man. He knows that with a coach like Thibodeau, the end result is nothing more than being forced out of his full potential by Thibodeau. After two years of outstanding records, he suffered a serious injury and his career ended.

Not everyone is Butler, or James.

Maybe Warriors fans in the new season can look forward to another wave.

In case Wiggins finally puts down the thermos after coming to the Warriors, he will really be worth "tens of millions"~
