After the team welcomed a series of wins, major media began to praise the Timberwolves' original strategy of changing coaches was correct.

Although McHale often makes some latecomer mistakes in on-site command, he is very bold in the transfer of the team's lineup.

Especially the reuse of second-round rookie Jordan Jr. has made the media highly appreciate the Timberwolves' draft vision.

Jordan Jr. currently has averaging less than 25 minutes of playing time, and can contribute 5.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks. Although he is still unable to compare with a best rookie competitor like Ross, this data can be regarded as excellent among rookies.

When the team was in a good mood, bad news came from Brewer's injury.

Although the last check showed that his leg was not seriously injured, Brewer left the field again in the fourth quarter in the last game with the Suns.

After the results of the next day's inspection came out, everyone's hearts were covered with a shadow.

Brewer is likely to be reimbursed for the season.

This result is tantamount to a thunderous sound.

The team is currently at the time of performance, but Brewer suffered serious injuries.

Many people have ignored the importance of Brewer to the Timberwolves. In fact, this wave of winning streak started after Brewer entered the lineup.

In the Timberwolves' fast attack system, Brewer is the sharpest offensive arrow.

His sense of smell in the fast attack is irreplaceable to others on the team.

Without Brewer, McHale then realized that the team had a missing weapon in the offense and defense transition.

Moreover, Brewer's defense is very active. Although he is limited by his thin body, he cannot defend those strong forward guards, but he has a very good effect when chasing the opponent's unballed shooter.

Percy's role in positional offense is higher than Brewer, but his attacking methods on the offensive end are now mostly fixed-point jump shots, and he cannot take on the role of Brewer in offensive and defensive conversions.

After visiting Brewer from the hospital, the Timberwolves generals were a little silent.

Is the team's record just improving and is going to return to the lifeless state at the beginning of the season?

After returning home, Li Rong received a call from McHale unexpectedly.

McHale is not a workaholic coach and rarely calls his team members during breaks. It seems that there must be an emergency.

"I'm discussing a deal with Dallas." McHale's first words surprised Li Rong.

Has anyone been sent away?

Fortunately, McHale's next sentence made Li Rong feel relieved: "We plan to apply for an injury special case from the league, and then use this injury special case to make a deal with Dallas."

Deal with the Mavericks?

Li Rong immediately emerged the current lineup of the Mavericks. McHale's deal was born after Brewer was injured, and it seemed that he would strengthen the backcourt.

Currently, among the Mavericks' backcourt players, there is only one person most likely to be traded, and this person is also an old acquaintance of the Timberwolves.

"You want to exchange Gerald back?" Li Rong asked calmly.

McHale nodded in appreciation. Li Rong was so smart. As soon as he and Dallas he understood the goal of the deal immediately.

After Gerald Green was traded to the Houston Rockets last season, Yao Ming was injured after only 5 games.

In order to strengthen the inside, the Rockets quickly cut Gerald Green.

During the offseason, Gerald Green signed a basic salary contract with the Mavericks, but he played the role of guarding the water dispenser for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks now have Starkhouse and Jason Terry at the shooting guard position, and Gerald Green is just their third choice, with very unstable playing time.

In fact, Gerald Green played well in the Timberwolves last season, but his functions overlap with Brewer.

Moreover, the head coach Whitman at that time didn't like his bad choices and never reused him.

Before the transaction deadline, McHale chose to send Brewer away, which can be regarded as preparing to clear the cap space during the offseason.

Now it seems that McHale is going to let Green return and replace the injured Brewer.

“I think Gerald played pretty well in the conversion last season,” McHale said. “Do you think he’s right for the team?”

Li Rong thought for a moment and said, "I think Gerald is more suitable for the team. Although his defense and shooting choices are bad, if he only wants to score on the court, he should be able to do this role."

"I think so," McHale said. "The team has you and Chauncey now, so don't worry too much about Gerald's attack. The only thing I'm worried about is...whether he wants to come back."

I guess this is why McHale called himself.

As a friend of Gerald Green last season, many people in the team know about their relationship. It seems that McHale wants to explore Gerald Green's tone.

"I'll call him now and ask what he means."

Li Rong couldn't guarantee whether Gerald Green would be willing to come back, although everything in this alliance was just business after all.

But for a player, many trades do break their hearts.

Last season, Gerald Green was able to play at least in the Timberwolves, but not long after being traded, he was cut by the Rockets.

He had more or less resentment towards the Timberwolves.

However, Li Rong believed that as long as he spoke, Gerald Green would not refuse to return.

Li Rong quickly answered Gerald Green's phone number: "Hi, Gerald, how are you doing recently?"

Gerald Green was excited when he heard Li Rong's voice: "Li, are you going to Dallas to play away?"

"It's still early," said Li Rong, "I called you this time mainly because I wanted to ask you a question."

"What's the matter?" asked Gerald Green curiously.

"If..." Li Rong paused for a moment, "If you have the chance, would you be willing to play for Minnesota?"

Gerald Green on the other end of the phone was silent after hearing this. After a long time, he said, "I will consider it."

"Cory's injury situation is not very optimistic now," said Li Rong. "The team may negotiate a deal with Dallas in the near future. I hope you can come back."

Gerald Green obviously had some complaints about the Timberwolves trading last season, but under the offensive of Li Rong's friends, he quickly softened: "If the deal is really born, I will report to Minnesota."

"Very good," Li Rong said happily, "I will drive to the airport to pick you up in person."

After hanging up the phone, an uncontrollable smile finally appeared on Gerald Green's face.

In fact, he doesn't have many opportunities for the Mavericks, and he doesn't even have any chances to play in more than half of the games.

The agent reminded him that if he could not seize the opportunity, his next contract would likely be unfinished.

But now that Brewer is injured, this is a god-given opportunity for him.
