The King of the NBA

Just when the Timberwolves fans are celebrating the Timberwolves’ seven-game winning streak, and look forward to the Timberwolves can continue this kind of play, winning 8 straight, 9 straight, and even more winning streak, the Timberwolves have no signs, Suddenly lost.

　　 Yes, it was defeated without warning and lost to the Pelicans.

　　 “How come this is the case, why did you lose to the Pelicans?”

　　 “Perhaps because of the away game.”

　　 “It shouldn’t be the case on the road, the Pelicans are still the same as last season, but our Timberwolves’ strength has improved a lot compared to last season.”

　　 Timberwolves fans are puzzled and confused.

　　 In fact, the Timberwolves are also puzzled. The Pelicans are definitely not as good as the Rockets. We can even win the Rockets. Why did we lose to the Pelicans?

　　 This is unreasonable.

“Perhaps, it was our wave of winning streak, let it be too open.” Ning Yi recalled the game, couldn’t help but smile bitterly, playing the same way of playing, but I don’t know what happened, their hit rate in this game Very low, not everyone, but everyone, including Ning Yi and Love.

　　 “Maybe.” Le Fu shook his head and sighed, “It’s a pity.”

　　 “It’s a pity?” Ning Yi’s eyes were fierce. It’s a pity that the seven-game winning streak ended, but it’s nothing. Since we can play a wave of seven-game winning streak, we can also play a second wave.

　　 Perhaps, with this defeat, it will not only be a seven-game winning streak next time.

　　After the game, Coach Adelman called the people together and held a summary meeting.

　　 In fact, Adelman had already discussed with Terry Porter and others, but they couldn’t discuss it. They were coaches, but they were players. They knew why they didn’t lose enough, and they also needed players to know.

　　 “Okay, let’s talk about it.” Adelman didn’t say it directly, but asked, “Where did we lose against the Pelicans?”

　　 Everyone was silent for a while.

　　 Carrefour said, “I think it’s because our condition is not good, the hit rate is too low, and the overall hit rate is less than forty percent. Such an efficiency is impossible to win the game.”

　　 Adelman nodded and looked at the others.

Rubio said: “I think our tactics are not well executed. Many times you are the one who beats you, I hit me. Especially when the score is too far behind, it is completely messed up.” He is a guard and pays attention The overall situation pays attention to the rationality of the game, so I think this is the main reason for the failure.

　　 Subsequently, Brewer, Martin, Turner and others also expressed their opinions.

Seeing that Ning Yi didn’t speak, Adelman asked, “Ning, what do you think?”

　　Ning Yi pondered for a moment, saying: “We have many factors for defeat, the hit rate is too low, the tactical execution is not good enough, the mentality is not correct, these are all. But I think the fundamental problem is that we are not mature enough.”

　　 Adelman raised his eyebrows and said, “Continue.”

“We are still very young, neither the mentality nor the style of play is mature enough.” Ning Yi said: “The first point of a mature team is stability. It is not a good game or a few games. It’s an entire season. A long season, lasting several months, 82 games, no team can guarantee to win all the time. But there is also a big difference between each other, mature teams will not struggle. “

　　 Everyone was stunned.

However, Adelman understood and nodded: “You are right, a mature team will not struggle, as much strength as there is. If you can enter the playoffs, you will definitely enter the playoffs. Immature Even if the team is gorgeous, talented, and capable, they can win some difficult games, but sometimes they will lose some of the games that should have been easy. They are not stable enough, they fluctuate a lot, and they obviously have playoff strength. In many cases, they have to wait until the end of the regular season to struggle to enter the playoffs.”

　　Ning Yi nodded his head.

　　 “Ning, is there anything else?” Adelman asked.

　　Ning Yi thought for a moment and shook his head.

Adelman said: “Well, let me summarize. We lost because we underestimated our opponents. We thought that after a wave of seven straight victories, we could do everything. No team could stop us. When the game came, we But it fell into the downwind. This kind of gap made our mentality go wrong.”

　　 “And the state of mind determines the state, so our state is not good, the hit rate is very low, and the execution of tactics has become chaotic. I only want to chase the points, but the rules are chaotic.”

“Also, the team is not mature enough, you are not mature enough. Love, Ning, including Rubio, Dion, Jokic, Whiteside, Clarkson. You are not mature enough, we played in the first few games. It’s not bad, everything is fine. But when you are in trouble, when Ning and Carrefour have problems, you panic.”

　　 everyone lowered their heads.

　　Jokic looked at Whiteside and Clarkson and said in unison: “Coach, sorry.”

Adelman said: “It’s needless to say sorry~www.mtlnovel.com~ How many games did you play as a rookie? It’s too difficult for you to talk about maturity now. I understand you this time, but not next time Yes. I don’t ask you to become mature all of a sudden, but you can’t make the same mistake a second time, understand?”

　　 “Understood.” The three said in unison.

　　 Afterwards, Adelman spoke to Ning Yi, Love, and others.

　　When the meeting ended, every player in the Timberwolves seemed to be more mature, which made Adelman very satisfied. For him, the growth of the players is far more important than a victory. Losing a game will not affect their entry to the playoffs, but whether the players can improve is related to how far they can go after entering the playoffs.

　　For Adelman, for today’s Timberwolves, entering the playoffs is not the goal, just a foundation, only equivalent to passing.

The most important thing is the playoffs.

In the end, Adelman found Ning Yi alone and said to him: “Ning, our players are talented, but how much can we cash out, and when will it be cashed out, this is a question. After all, after the playoffs, we still need Relying on you and Love, but I believe you also know that Love lacks some leadership skills. We need you to stand up and become the leader of the team and lead the team further.”

　　Ning Yi was surprised, said: “Coach, am I not the core of the team now?”

“No.” Adelman shook his head. “It’s different. You are now the core. Love is also the core. You are the same as him. I mean, you want to be a leader. Leaders need not only strength but also Leadership, Carrefour does not lack strength, but lacks the necessary leadership skills.”
