After Gobel, what level is the Timberwolves?It is a failure to win the championship, winning the championship is a miracle

The Timberwolves this summer is the biggest change and the most controversial team.

On the one hand, it can be said that their strength is very considerable. First, the problem of Downs's offensive position is too close. No one under the basket is defending. I can't find the second one in the alliance, I can look forward to the combination effect.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves paid an amazing right to Gobel. In this alliance, the first round of draft rights have always been first -class high -quality assets, and the Timberwolves have consumed their future resources in advance. The dual -top salary combination of Downs and Gobel has little salary space left.

If this combination fails, the Timberwolves that use a large number of draft rights will fall into a situation where there is basically no adjustment of space.

Use Edwardz's rookie bonus

The logic of the Timberwolves is relatively clear:

Edwardz is also in the rookie contract period. This kind of rookie has fulfilled the talent players. It is every team who wants to grasp the space to strengthen and win the championship.

The last one who was still in the rookie was Luca-Dongcic.

Kuban is also trying to seize the opportunity, but although the Lone Ranger works hard, it is no different from before. The adventure found the European center Poltzis. As a result, due to injury problems, it was far from achieving the expected results.

This shaking, rookie dividends are exhausted.

The Timberwolves are naturally unwilling to repeat the same mistakes. The introduction of Gobel proves that they are trying to make an attempt to compete for the throne of the championship next season.

The quality of defense of Timberwolves

Gobber's joining is still defensive.

The 3rd DPOY, three All -Stars, 6 defense and one battle, two times, three times, three times. This is the honor of Gobber's 9 -year NBA working age. When breaking through the basket, when facing the French giant Gobel, the scoring attempt was usually out of the door.

However, under the modern basketball system, the large center that will be defensive may not be much useful.

The Jazz and Gobel signed a 200 million contract, but soon choosing a transaction must have a reason.

In the face of the current teammates, while Brunson and Doncic, Gobel was in turnive military training by the two.

At 4:13, the opponent scored 17 points by the opponent; in 5 minutes, Dongcic scored 18 points by more than 50 %.

This seems to be a problem that Mr. 200 million cannot solve. The figure is destined to run and replace the defense flexibly as the small -sized inside line of 2 meters. The huge power under the basket is indeed necessary to pay for the defense and the cost of continuous military training by the star guard.

Can the Timberwolves solve such a problem?

Put Gobber in a suitable system

From the perspective of high -level data, even if Gobel was trained by military training, the effect on the field was very positive. From the data of the 2020-21 season playoffs, Gobber's defense efficiency was 117.1, and it was 125.1 at the scene, which was 8 points.

It shows that in normal circumstances, Gobber's role is still immediate. The collapse of the playoffs last season is the effect of a variety of factors. For example, the atmosphere of the Jazz's locker room has collapsed, and the quality of the jazz defenders has made Gebeel have to make up for the holes. The defense data is very It's hard to pull up.

When Gobel changed to the Timberwolves, the defensive strength had the opportunity to improve the level of the past DPOY. As for whether you can build an indestructible defense on the team, this must be relying on the efforts of the Timberwolves.

Last season's playoffs, Timberwolves lost in defense. The series played 6 games, and the Grizzlies have won 5 games. The series are more than the Timberwolves.

In the sixth game, the Timberwolves were defeated, and their rebounding ratio was 37:55.

It is no wonder that the Timberwolves are reluctant to be able to trade Gobel in the future.

Gobel's rebound protection is the top level of the league. Last season, averaged 13.2 rebounds, of which 3.5 offensive rebounds. The rebound rate is as high as 20.7%, the league is 2nd; the backcourt rebound rate is 31.0, and the league is 3rd.

In terms of defense, Gobel also helped the Timberwolves supplement their defensive strength.

For the Timberwolves, there is another advantage, that is, Gobel's inside offensive method is basically not reunited with Downs.

Of course, this is not enough to make the Timberwolves win the championship.

As we analyzed earlier, the Timberwolves took this step, and the first round of the draft they gave made them basically have no way back.

Of course, Russell's performance in the Timberwolves makes people feel that if they can have the opportunity to trade it, for the Timberwolves, it will also be a good sale.
