legendary point guard

Chris Mullin sighed. The team's poor record not only put pressure on the team, he was even more pressured as the general manager. Although the boss Chris Kohan didn't say anything, he knew what his stingy boss was thinking.

What.

That's why Mullin invited back Nelson, who once made the Warriors a powerhouse in the league, and Nelson's agreement to serve as the Warriors' head coach was not unconditional.

The biggest condition is that he must have the final say on the team's signings, and Mullin needs to discuss with him any trade or signing of players he wants.

You must know that the NBA is not the Premier League. In the Premier League, the head coach is equal to the general manager. In the NBA, the head coach makes suggestions and the general manager decides whether to sign players. Of course, in general, there will not be much conflict between the two aspects.

But now he has made the biggest sacrifice in order to get Nelson to agree to take over as coach, and this contract offer is the best example of this.

If possible, Mullin is absolutely unwilling to propose such two plans. If possible, he will reduce the first plan by one draft pick and then remove Pietrus with less cash compensation, and only use Monta Ellis and

A first-round draft pick next year or the year after to buy Lin Sen.

But now he had to make these two plans that would make the world laugh at his stupidity. He really hoped that Kevin McHale would not agree, but when the roles were reversed, he couldn't think of any reason for McHale to refuse.

These two options.

The camera zoomed back to Minnesota's Target Center Arena, and unknowingly the game had reached the last attack of the first half.

Lin Sen breathed in a steady rhythm and kept scanning the Warriors' defensive position.

When he came back on the court, his offensive efficiency was once very high, but after Nelson replaced Ellis and replaced him as the main player, his offense was severely restricted.

Only then did he realize that the offensive failure before he left the field in the first quarter was not an accident.

Just after Lin Sen passed halftime, Baron Davis pulled out of the three-point line, but Baron Davis did not completely press forward. This is what Davis has always insisted on on the defensive end.

This defensive position allows him to guard against Lin Sen's sudden long-distance fire, and also prevents him from being unable to contribute to the team's overall defense after being broken through by Lin Sen.

And Lin Sen has never been so eager to have a mid-range shooting ability. Even if it is not very good, it is better than the opponent holding his painful foot now.

When there were eight seconds left before halftime, Lin Sen moved.

With the help of Garnett's screen, Linsen temporarily got rid of Baron Davis' defense, but the Warriors' defensive position was very resolute.

Stay outside the reasonable collision zone instead of pressing Lin Sen.

"Wood is really pitiful. His poor mid-range shooting weakness was severely exploited by that bad old man Nelson. If Wood had shooting ability now, I guarantee that he would not dare to let Wood have an open court so wantonly." Charles Barkley

Said with a smile.

Lin Sen came to the free throw line and glanced at Biedrins and Murphy inside. The throw was a bit far away, but any closer and he would have to face the Warriors' inside defense.

In the end, Lin Sen definitely challenged the inside. The smile on Nelson's face on the sidelines made his nose redder, while Devin Casey was a little depressed and decided in his heart that Lin Sen would step up his mid-range shooting practice.

But when I think about Lin Sen practicing very hard but not getting much results, I can't help but feel a little depressed.

Facing Biedrins's cover, Lin Sen used a dodge lever to send the ball into the basket.

It also helped the Timberwolves trail the Warriors by only 8 points at halftime.

Lin Sen lowered his head and walked to the sideline with some gloominess: "Damn mid-range!"

Ruth Edison, who was far away in Los Angeles, was busy nervously with one of his assistants. He knew that this was his opportunity. The screen was showing the halftime of the game between the Timberwolves and the Warriors.

In the second half, although Lin Sen found some opportunities through pick-and-roll cooperation, it was more about passing the ball.

The Warriors, on the other hand, were playing very well, with the offensive pace getting faster and faster, and Monta Ellis on the bench was like a tiger coming down the mountain, making the Timberwolves' defense miserable.

The game reached the seventh minute of the fourth quarter. Lin Sen and Garnett, who had just played three minutes, were substituted off the court.

The fans at the Target Center seemed very disappointed. The victory they were looking forward to turned into a disastrous defeat, and many frustrated fans also began to leave the venue.

From the corner of his eye, Nelson glanced at Devin Casey standing on the sidelines and smiled softly, his smile looking very cunning.

"I didn't expect the game to turn out like this, but more importantly, Nelson provided a template for other teams to defeat the Timberwolves, which is to block the three-point line and inside, leaving the mid-range to Wood." Kenny Smith

concluded.

"Kenny, you are right. My intuition tells me that Wood will have a hard time. Of course, this requires other teams to have sufficient defensive capabilities, otherwise they will not be able to suppress the performance of this guy Wood. Let me take a look at the Timberwolves' opponents below.

Who..." As he spoke, Barkley looked for the next Timberwolves matchup list.

"The next five games are an away game against the Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies, a home game against the Atlanta Hawks, and an away trip to New Orleans to challenge the Hornets and Houston Rockets. This schedule has its ups and downs. At least the first three games will be relatively easy for Wood, but

It’s not easy for the next two opponents.”

"CP3 has always thought how outstanding Wood is, and the direct battle between the two of them is really exciting, but Houston estimates that Wood will be in big trouble." Kenny Smith continued Barkley's words.

When the game was over, Lin Sen walked to the player tunnel without saying a word. The reporters who wanted to pull him for an interview could not slow down his steps. In the eyes of reporters, Lin Sen undoubtedly suffered a heavy blow tonight.

That's how it will be.

In fact, Lin Sen is more thinking about improving himself in the industry and how to change.

Seven regular season games have made him understand how fatal his shortcomings are. This is something he has never considered before, but it has become more prominent in these games, especially tonight.

"Gain weight, middle distance, gain weight, middle distance..." Lin Sen kept muttering softly.

However, Lin Sen's voice was not loud and he spoke very fast, which startled Marko Jaric who returned to the locker room.

"Wood, Wood, are you okay?" Jaric asked nervously.

Lin Sen looked at the nervous Jaric with some surprise, and smiled: "What can happen to me, other than failing in a game."

Lin Sen said it very casually and seemed not to care, but this did not reassure Jaric.

It wasn't until Lin Sen resumed his previous application that Jaric breathed a sigh of relief: "Just now, you were really scary."

"I was just thinking about something..." Lin Sen said helplessly.

"Wood, can I ask you something?" Jaric looked around and then lowered his head and whispered.

Lin Sen was amused by Jaric's mysterious look. This was the first time he had seen the honest and steady Jaric look like this in such a long time since joining the team, and there was even a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Tell me what happened."

"I want to ask about that...that..."

Seeing Jia Qiqi's hesitant expression, Lin Sen felt helpless: "Marco, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Jaric seemed to have made a difficult decision: "I want to ask you if you know anyone Adriana Lima likes."

He didn't want to ask Lin Sen at first, especially when reporters revealed that Lin Sen had close contact with Lima before, but after so many days of observation and insinuations, he found out that Lin Sen didn't have a girlfriend at the moment.

That's why he made up his mind to ask Lin Sen. If Lin Sen and Lima really had a relationship but just hid it well, he would give up other ideas.

Lin Sen didn't expect that Jia Qiqi would suddenly ask him this question: "I really don't know this. She and I have only met each other a few times, but I can ask you."

But when Lin Sen said these words, the figure of Lima appeared in his mind. That confident woman felt a little reluctant in his heart.

At this time, McHale had already contacted Devin Casey and asked him to come to the general manager's office after the press conference.

Devin Casey had a vague feeling that something big might happen, and Nelson contacted Mullin as soon as the game ended. After getting an accurate answer from Mullin, Nelson smiled.
