On the day when the coaching change was announced, McHale led his assistant team to sleep all night and rushed to create the team's new tactical manual overnight.

After the tactical manual was sent to everyone, Li Rong, Jefferson, and Brewer immediately discovered that the tactical manual and the tactics used by the team in the second half of last season were withdrawn.

The team's training content has almost become fast attack drills, and the positions defensive tactics formulated by Whitman at the beginning of the season have been thrown aside.

To everyone's surprise, the most difficult thing to adapt to the new tactics is the team's point guard Chancey Pollups.

But after thinking about it carefully, Billups has never played such an unrestrained offensive basketball in his life.

He was originally a point guard who loved waves in his early career, but later, under Larry Brown, he became a steady-blooded all-round defender.

Now that he is asked to change his style back, this cannot be accomplished overnight.

In the team's training game today, last season's Pistons' two-person Billups and new veteran Mike Dess were a little uncomfortable with this fast pace.

Especially Billups, his teammates took the rebound and handed it to him. The first thing he thought about was not to instigate a fast attack, but to reduce his speed.

It was not until McHale on the sidelines that loudly reminded him that he should speed up, Billups realized that he had not implemented the established tactical plan.

This will definitely not work, McHale frowned and thought to himself.

Billups has adapted to slow-paced basketball. If you want to change this style, it will be difficult to reverse without twenty or thirty games.

But time doesn't wait for anyone. As Barkley said after the last game, there is not much time left for the Timberwolves.

If the team needs so many games to get in, the daylily will be cold by then, and whether or not they can enter the playoffs will be a problem.

"Stop!" Thinking of this, McHale immediately stopped the training match.

Billups also knew that the problem was him. He was a little dissatisfied with the change of coaches at the last minute, but now he has a bigger opinion.

I have played basketball all my life, but I can't play when I get old.

Billups was a little disgusted with the team's new tactics from the bottom of his heart.

McHale no longer cared about Billups's mood. The boss had already given orders and had to fight a good attack.

Time waits for no one, and we must immediately find the offensive state of last season.

"We are also playing according to the strategy of last season," McHale turned his attention to Li Rong, "Li, you come and push the ball to counterattack, everyone else should go down quickly."

With McHale's order, the Timberwolves immediately changed the ball holder, and Li Rong returned to the familiar position last season.

Sure enough, Li Rong's fast break drill after getting the ball became much smoother immediately.

Especially for the old players who stayed in the Timberwolves last season, I immediately found a familiar feeling.

Although Billups was a little unhappy about losing the organizational rights, he saw that everyone else was very enthusiastic and could not bear to let himself destroy the harmonious atmosphere that had finally been established in the team.

On November 11, after two days of rest, the team went to Oakland to challenge the Golden State Warriors.

As soon as the game started, everyone discovered that the Timberwolves had changed the team's starting lineup.

Cory Brewer replaced James Percy as the team's starting shooting guard.

Timberwolves starts: center Al Jefferson, power forward Mike Dyce, small forward Li Rong, shooting guard Brewer, point guard Billups.

Warriors starters: center Beadlings, power forward Brandon Wright, small forward Stephen Jackson, shooting guard Azubuke, point guard CJ Watson.

Due to the departure of a group of black eight core players such as "Big Bearded" Balang Davis, the Warriors have gradually begun to fall out of the ranks of playoff teams this season.

Especially the new core Monta Ellis, who just renewed his contract for 6 years and 67 million in the offseason, may miss most of the season due to injury, which has made the Warriors' situation worse.

The Warriors only achieved a record of 2 wins and 5 losses at the beginning. Faced with the team's lack of soldiers, even coach Qiansheng, Old Nelson was a little clever and could not cook without rice.

However, the Timberwolves' situation was even worse, with only 1 win or 5 losses at the beginning, and the head coach was fired before the game.

Now all media are mocking the Timberwolves' team building strategy. This team is like a headless fly, and has no logic to act.

Since you have to change your coach, why don’t you do this well during the offseason, but you have to wait until the season starts.

Nowadays, the coaches who are a little famous are already famous, and the Timberwolves actually directly let their general manager take office.

Does McHale think he is the "god-calling" Parker Riley?

He has been in the team's management for many years. Now he is not enough to be a manager, and he still has to master the team's coach position.

Is the boss Taylor so confused? Even if he is in a hurry to seek medical treatment, he doesn't play this way.

The commentators of this game were ESPN's commentators Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy, who also had some questions about the Timberwolves' policy of changing coaches.

Especially Van Gundy, who has been fired as the Rockets' head coach in 2007, has been complaining about the team's dismissal of the team's head coach.

Before the game started, Van Gundy began to speak out about Whitman's encounter: "I know Randy, he is a good man, a defensive coach. The Timberwolves actually fired him on the phone. It's ridiculous. I can't see at all the respect the team has for the head coach."

"To be honest, Whitman is really a mediocre ability," Mark Jackson said. "But I have never seen a whole career that I have fired the head coach after only six games. In any case, the team should be patient with the head coach. The Timberwolves' approach is so disheartening."

"That's right," Van Gundy continued to complain, "As far as I know, there is no problem inside the Timberwolves. It is completely the wishful thinking of the boss Green Taylor. If the Timberwolves' record has not improved, I don't know who will coach the Wolves in the future. Anyway, I will never play for such a boss."

"Jeff," Mark Jackson smiled, "You're thinking too much. After all, it's a career with an annual salary of one million. There are still many people rushing to be a coach. If the Timberwolves invite me to be a coach, I will still agree without hesitation. Even if they fire me the next day, it would be a lot of money."

"They changed the backcourt player in this game," Van Gundy pulled the topic back to the game. "It can be seen that McHale still has some ideas. Brewer is a good player in the counterattack to find opportunities. Maybe they are going to regain the style of playing last season."
