The Timberwolves were beaten up, which seems normal to many people. It is difficult for you, a second lineup composed of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, to withstand the second Thunder team led by Xie Kai and Paulo.

Thibodeau is a defensive coach who is terrified of the main defensive coach. It is really difficult to make him build an offensive team. To attack, D'Antoni, Old Nelson, or Gentry are all more suitable existences than him.

In fact, this Timberwolves has far greater offensive potential than defensive potential. This team is a loss to the team's management for helping a defensive coach who is desperate to lead the team.

The Thunders got a lead of more than 20 points in the early part of the second quarter, and they played very easily. The opponent's second lineup was simply for free, just to fool time, and they had no competitiveness.

But even if it is the main player, this group of talented men of the Timberwolves will not have any advantage when they meet the Thunder's Big Three.

At the end of the first half, the scores of both sides did not narrow, and the difference was still above 20 points.

This is the best first half game that the Thunder three have played since the combined game. Although their opponents are weak, their offensive offense is obvious.

There was no trouble in the second half, and the suspense ended quickly. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 122:95 at home, and ushered in a big victory and refused to lose in a row.

In this game, the three Thunders performed well. Xie Kai scored a game-high 35 points, plus 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Westbrook scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists, while Paulo scored 20 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

The 122 points scored in this game was also the highest score of the Thunder this season. Their offense finally made a big comeback.

At the post-match press conference, the Thunder Big Three and coach Billy Donovan attended the press conference together.

At the press conference, there was a lot of fun and everyone was cheering each other, making it very lively and united.

Coach Donovan is very happy because he doesn't need to come forward, Xie Kai has helped him solve the most difficult problem. For the coach, technical issues at the tactical level are never the most difficult. The most difficult thing is to coordinate the problems between players, especially between stars. It is not impossible to deal with it carefully and get rid of the get out of class by yourself.

On November 8, the Thunder will face the Heat at home.

This offseason, the Heat lost their totem player Dwyane Wade. Because the master's calculator Pat Riley repeatedly asked Wade to cut his salary, angering the team leader, he joined the Grizzlies in anger.

Riley was also teased by netizens and colleagues because of her cold-bloodedness.

In Xie Kai's opinion, although Wade's age is no longer worth the super maximum salary, it is too much to ask him to cut his salary. You should know that he has never received the highest salary of the team, which is a particularly sad thing for a future Hall of Fame player.

The team always morally kidnapped players, which is not a good phenomenon. Compared with the cold-blooded nature of Riley and Angie, the flirty operations of other NBA teams seem much more humane.

It’s really “I’m not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I’m afraid of comparing goods”!

The Heat, which ranked third in the Eastern Conference last season, performed averagely this season so far. Riley was criticized by fans as a vampire. The Heat are also called the most inhumane team in the league, which has lost face this summer.

In this game, the Thunder team, who played at home, continued the good momentum of the previous game, defeated their opponents, and ushered in two consecutive victories.

After this game, the Thunder temporarily ranked second in the Western Conference with a record of 6 wins and 1 loss.

On November 10, the Thunder continued to play at home, facing the Eastern Powerhouse Toronto Raptors. In this game, they lost their opponents at home and missed the three consecutive victories.

The Raptors ranked second in the Eastern Conference last season, and are a strong but relatively low-key team. Their regular season record has been quite impressive in the past few seasons, but they are prone to fail in the playoffs.

On November 12, the Thunder coach was defeated by Paul in the final, and he ushered in the first two-game losing streak of the season.

After the game, their record reached 6 wins and 3 losses, and fell to the fifth place in the West, which was very disappointing.

The performance of the Big Three is quite stable. Although it is not too amazing, their tacit understanding has improved a lot compared to the first few games at the beginning of the season. The team's problem lies in the inside defense of the second lineup. Kanter and Singler's inside defense are ATMs. If they are not attacked, they will be targeted, and there is no way to do so.

On November 13, the Thunder, which was in poor form recently, made a deal.

The deal was extremely targeted, and they used Kyle Singler and Jofury Lovingji to trade with the Philadelphia 76ers to get forward player Jeremy Grant.

Jeremy Grant graduated from Syracuse University and was selected by the 76ers in the second round at the 39th place in the 20145 draft.

Jeremy Grant was born into a basketball family. His father was former NBA player Harvey Grant and his uncle was Bulls dynasty member Horace Grant. His older brother Jerian Grant entered the NBA one year after he was selected.

Jeremy Grant is 203cm tall, but his wingspan reaches 220cm, which is full of explosive power; he can defend multiple positions and has extremely strong swaying ability.

Last season with the Philadelphia 76ers, he averaged 9.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, making him an excellent sports wing.

The Thunder traded him to be able to get a forward with excellent mobility and strong swingability in the second lineup, assist Kanter in defense and help the team increase the thickness of the wings.

As for the Philadelphia 76ers, it is not their purpose to get players such as Lovingji, and a second-round pick is more attractive to them. Their goal this season is still to be bad, because No. 1 pick Simmons is probably not going to make a comeback next season.

For the Thunder, the most suitable position for Jeremy Grant is the 3-4 position swing, similar to Paulo, playing No. 4 position in a small lineup and No. 3 position in a traditional lineup. His outside shooting is not stable enough, but his defensive multifacetedness, blocking ability and athletic ability make him very suitable for this small ball era.

The Thunder did not pay any big price and got a sports young forward. For them, even if Grant comes to this team, they will not be at a high risk.
