Live broadcast, December 29-NBA regular season, Timberwolves 118-119 Pelican.
Before the game, when Gobel was interviewed by The New York Times, he talked about some fans expecting to see him fail. He said: “ordinary fans may not understand what I have brought, but the general managers of the league understand.”
In this game, Gobel played at 28 minutes 47 seconds, 4 out of 5 shots, 2 out of 2 free throws, 10 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 caps, and 6 criminals left. Gobel can get 13.8 points, 12 boards and 1.3 caps in the game so far this season.
This summer, Timberwolves used five players, including Beverly and Malik Beasley, four first-round signatures and one first-round swap rights to get Gobel from jazz trading.
