With 71 points and 11 assists, Mitchell once again incarnated with the core of holding the ball and won the divine data. The 26-year-old star played the wind and water in the new boss and went up another step, even touching the edge of MVP. But at the same time, Gobel, another protagonist of the jazz demolition team, was not very happy this summer.
The French Tower took the script completely opposite to Mitchell. The old team friend’s new boss lived a colorful life, but he himself became the laughingstock of the basketball world. The nightmare of “winning is not terrible, who is short of embarrassment” is repeated here in Gobel. In the last 13 games of Timberwolves, when Gobel didn’t play, he won 3 and lost 1, in the game he played, Timberwolves only had a miserable 1 win and 8 losses.
In the only win, Gobel cut 8 points, 4 boards and 5 fouls wildly. Winning the Nuggets in the West seems not to have much to do with him……
From the first second of the game to the end of 48 minutes, he seemed to have been kneaded repeatedly in the palm of his hand by jokedge, who was in the opposite position. Although this is a strong dialogue between a group of top-paid centers, it is yorkic’s dimensionality reduction blow in perception. We can’t see the slightest deterrent of Gobel as the best defensive player in the three sessions, on the contrary, it seems that amateur players are hoisted by professional players.
Teacher: play with him
Easy freehand brushwork
When we took the time back to the moment when Timberwolves won Gobel last summer, I think the team management and fans didn’t expect to spend half of the team as a chip to get such a bad script. Before the start of the season, Downs even said that the Timberwolves would fail if they didn’t win the championship this season, but now it seems that they should consider the playoff seats first……
In fact, we can understand why Tang Si made such a big speech, and you think-“I can make the playoffs with the team members of Tang Si, Hua Zi, Russell and Beverly and Fan Debiao, if you get three DPOY Gobel, then you will take off?”
However, facts have proved that the actual basketball mode is far more complicated than imagined. The arrival of Gobel not only did not help Timberwolves take off, but also destroyed their originally stable tactical system.
Indeed, Gobel can provide a solid protective frame on the defensive end, but the limitation of being a blue-collar center makes him unable to project, empty cut, convert and fight back like Beverly and Fan Debiao, pull the space… finally destroy the chemical reaction of the Forest Wolf, making everyone uncomfortable.
Gobel’s position cannot provide any support to his teammates, but it blocks the space to death.
“Gobel disappointed the fans of the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves will design the blocking and dismantling tactics for him. The ball will pass his hand on stream, but he is constantly making mistakes. Gobel’s defense was good, but he didn’t change the game as people expected.”
The words of reporter venhorst vividly explained the dilemma of Gobel on the offensive side. The French are like a technology and hard work that looks at the fragrance and stinks. There are gimmicks but the practical value is undeserved. However, when the fig cloth of Downs was injured and lay down halfway, only Gobel was left to be laughed.
So far this season, Gobel’s personal data has shrunk significantly. His average score, rebound and field goal percentage are the lowest in recent seasons, and the number of cap and assists is the lowest in the rookie years, even his total number of CAP was the same as that of Alexander, the defender……
Gobel data shrink
At present, 15 people in the league send more cap than Gobel. Among them, the rookie Walker Kessler, who was used as a chip by the Timberwolves in the 10 big deals of Gobel 1……
When Kessler plays the game content and personal data no less than Gobel, you can even feel the anger in the hearts of Timberwolves fans-why do we spend 10 chips for a player who is not much better? Do we have the word fool on our faces?
On Twitter, a blogger named “desperate Timberwolves fan” has been attacked by the “worst deal in NBA history” that people think has broken the psychological defense line, he collected the data of Gobel and Kessler tirelessly as a comparison, and summarized Gobel’s various embarrassing remarks in order to protect his face.
For example-“ordinary fans may not understand what I can bring, but the general managers know my value”.
As Gobel’s performance gets worse and worse, the general managers may really “know” his value…… Well, it’s really not worth it.
Of course, it is undeniable that Gobel does have defensive value. When he is present, Timberwolves can lose 3.6 points per hundred rounds, which is his positive contribution to the team. However, when he was present, the team had to score 9.6 points less on the offensive side, +3.6 and-9.6. This account should not be difficult to calculate?
Gobel in the basket is a problem for his teammates. Pass it on, afraid of him for three seconds. It is not appropriate if he does not pass it
Gobel handled the ball by himself.
Even we don’t have to compare with Gobel with the best center of our opponents. Even in the Timberwolves, Gobel sometimes has to serve tea and light cigarettes to his substitutes honestly.
Butler and Adebayor didn’t play against the Heat this season. The Timberwolves still suffered a defeat. Why? Because Gobel was hit by Orlando Robinson, the hot draft in the first half, and even hit the cold Palace by Finch in the last moment.
Hot Fire draft hit Gobel
And Gobel should have played his high advantage in this game. After all, in front of him are jovich, Strous, the ultra-small lineup composed of Kleb Martin (seems to have seen this scene in the playoff against lone ranger last year?). But Gobel can only make a fool of himself in front of fans and teammates with his clumsy low skills.
Although Finch defended Gobel and said, “he has been playing well, aggressive and made many correct decisions”, Finch’s actions still explained everything-in the last 5 minutes of the match, it was not Gobel that stayed on the court, but another drop draft. Gobel’s substitute Natz Reed, he got 21 points and 11 rebounds in that game, and the presence time was 2 minutes less than Gobel……
The most expensive center in history was cast on the bench
You should know that it is not easy to abandon big players like Gobel at the critical moment, which requires the head coach to weigh all kinds of advantages and disadvantages, and also consider whether this will affect the harmony of the dressing room.
However, even if there was such a risk, finch did it. Facts also proved that the profit of snow hiding gobel was actually higher at the last moment-reed handed over the highest +13 plus or minus value in the team in that game, gobel is the lowest in the team-14……
The bad defensive discipline of Timberwolves makes Gobel at a loss.
The removal of Gobel has become a choice that forest wolves must consider in rotation. Not only is Gobel’s performance really average, but also because the Forest Wolf coaching team has discovered that opponents begin to understand how to target Gobel, there have been countless pioneers in the league clearing the defense challenge of Gobel.
The staff of Timberwolves seemed to understand a little late. From Jazz to the peak to team demolition, it has been proved over the years that Gobel is not the insider answer required by contemporary basketball. The French Tower is certainly a good player, but he is not the super core that can change the game alone. He “only” is a top blue collar. Moreover, Gobel also needs the support of his teammates, all of which requires high discipline to lay the foundation.
We can see the dilemma that Gobel is facing now in every game. If it is a person who doesn’t often watch NBA, who can think that the big man who seems to be out of place in this picture is the best defensive player in NBA?
The defensive tactics at both ends of the Wolf team’s first mouse made Gobel at a loss.
Potty chair prevent loneliness
Perhaps, the Forest Wolf didn’t know that Gobel was just a top blue collar. He could never change the trend of the tide like the real modern all-around inner line, they just blindfolded their eyes and ears selectively to deceive themselves-after entering the playoffs last year, Timberwolves wanted to tell the story of the small city winning the championship. They could only win the “wrong man” of Gobel.
So, is the Forest Wolf in exchange for Gobel a big injustice? After half a season, it seems that this question no longer needs to be judged by the outside world. When the Timberwolves planted the seeds of this mistake, the answer has been confirmed.
