Chapter 105 Downs' Courtship
On December 13, the Spurs faced the Timberwolves at home.
The Timberwolves have a good lineup, and the new Wolf King Towns is also a very good center with great potential, but he cannot use his strength, and Towns is not happy playing.
Before the game started, Aldridge hugged Radar in the Spurs locker room and said, "Ray, thank you for having you."
Radar: "We are all brothers, so there is no need to thank anyone. Everyone gets injured sometimes. If I miss the game, I think you will try your best to win, right?"
Aldridge: "That's right. Although I'm not as good as I used to be, I will still try my best. Of course, I can't achieve a 60+ quadruple-double. You are too perfect."
Faced with Ade's compliments, Radar responded with a smile and performed routine operations: sit down and sit down. Basic operations, don't do 6.
When the game started, the Spurs took the initiative right from the start. Aldridge's return finally relieved the Spurs' stretched inside line.
Under the control of the radar, Aldridge hit a mid-range shot as soon as he came up, recovered from his foot injury, and his hand also recovered well.
When Towns saw Bortle, a blue-collar center, hitting the basket again and again, and also completing an alley-oop under his defense, Towns looked at Bortle with a look of envy.
Compared with the continuous firepower of the Spurs, the Timberwolves are collectively muted. If this fight continues, the Timberwolves will become the Huskies.
No, Towns still has to fight hard, and even if he loses, he must lose with dignity.
The last time Radar played against the Raptors, it was one against five. This time against the Spurs, Towns also carried a bag of explosives and charged inside.
This game was very easy on the radar, but it shouldn't be. At such a young age, when I first entered the league, I imitated a certain thirty-year-old man and started playing basketball for health.
Radar dribbled the ball across the court and then started passing the ball. The Spurs were in good shape today. Maybe they were frustrated in the last game. Everyone was an offensive point.
The Timberwolves were unable to resist. Towns scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block at halftime. He was unable to defeat ten hands with both fists. The Spurs led 59 to 45 by 14 points.
In the second half, the Spurs still felt hot, and Radar hit a three-pointer from outside at will, leaving the Timberwolves with no hope.
Maybe Towns, for the sake of dignity or being infected by the radar, wanted to fight to the end and returned a three-pointer from the outside.
Oops, the young man refused to accept it. Everyone in the Spurs started to teach Towns a lesson. Ade hit a hard hit under the basket, DeRozan hit a layup, Radar made another three-pointer, Gay made a foul and made two free throws. The Spurs hit.
A 9 to 2, instantly widening the point difference to more than 20 points.
Towns took a break in the fourth quarter, and Radar also clocked out of get off work. He was also sitting off the court with a different mood.
Towns looked at the performance of his teammates on the field from time to time, and from time to time looked at the radar on the Spurs bench. He was thinking about a question, how is the Timberwolves' lineup worse than the Spurs?
The Timberwolves have two No. 1 picks, plus Russell, Evan Turner, James Johnson, and Hernangomez. How are they inferior to the Spurs?
Could it be that because of Radar this year, the Spurs jumped from the quagmire of the bottom of the Western Conference to a dragon? If Radar were allowed to lead the current Timberwolves, would he still be so magical?
Towns took a look at the court. The substitutes of the two teams were pecking each other. Forget it, he stopped looking.
At least Towns proved one thing. Whether or not the Spurs have Radar is a completely different team. If Radar leads the current Timberwolves, not to mention being first in the Western Conference, at least there will be no problem in the playoffs.
I’m so envious of someone who has such an excellent defender. Can you recruit him?
Somewhere in Minnesota, somewhere in San Antonio, Texas, a ghost would want to come.
If they don't come, can I go there?
To be honest, Towns was shaken. Garnett told him, you are the new Wolf King, you will lead the Timberwolves to rise again, and the wolf pups behind you will help you in the future. One wolf is not scary, only a group of wolves can be invincible.
.
Towns felt that the words of the old wolf king Garnett were like the most beautiful lie of Stone Buddha. The future is yours, but how long and where is the future. In the past few years in the Timberwolves, Towns felt powerless. He was tired and it was not easy to be the alpha wolf.
, the Wolf King is no longer interested.
Loyalty, there is no need to talk about this. Garnett could leave Boston for the championship, why couldn't he leave? Who doesn't want to win a championship?
Towns is now in his prime. This is the best time to win a championship and the most powerful time. He is not James. He has a bright future and will continue to be at his peak. Maybe in three to five years, he will be the best.
If he goes downhill, no one on the championship team may be interested in him.
While Towns was thinking a lot, the Spurs won the game without any suspense. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 31 points and 15 rebounds, including 5 offensive boards. It was difficult to defeat the Spurs' multiple points.
Radar clocked in three quarters and contributed 23 points, 12 assists, 5 steals and 3 rebounds. Once again, the home fans were dissatisfied. They promised 60+, why did it become 20+ at home.
I don't blame Spurs fans for being too demanding. A 20+ score is already very high, but for Radar, it's obvious that he didn't try his best.
During the handshake session after the game, the tall and tall Towns hugged Radar and whispered in his ear.
"Lei, congratulations on breaking the record with 60+ quadruple pairs. Thank you for saving us face this time."
"Your performance is always wonderful. As a center, I think I am not the only one who wants to partner with you."
What Towns said was clear enough, and Radar knew it, but it was not something he could decide. However, Radar just listened to Towns's show of kindness and responded politely.
The current insiders, not just the center, Embiid, Big Eyebrow, and Giannis Antetokounmpo all perform better than Towns, and their strength may be better, but Embiid, as the core of the 76, will definitely not be traded.
Needless to say, Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks are firmly ranked first in the Eastern Conference, and Giannis Antetokounmpo is the dominant player in the Eastern Conference. He is the top vote-getter in the Eastern Conference All-Star Game. Only a fool would come to the Western Conference to wade through the muddy waters.
In the East, the Bucks can easily reach the playoffs and then pass all the teams to reach the finals.
Brother Big Eyebrow is fighting with James in the Lakers. James is a jack-of-all-trades. Everyone wants to partner with him. In the 2020 season, the Lakers' championship lineup is still there, and Big Eyebrow will definitely not leave.
If the Spurs want to strengthen the inside line, maybe Towns is a good choice. Now that Towns has taken the initiative to show his goodwill, the Spurs may be able to communicate. If you are willing and I am willing, the marriage may be settled.
Towns still left with regrets, but when he returned to Minnesota, the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became.
When the wolf king wants to leave the wolf pack, that's when he is really tired.
