I brought it to win, but I can’t use it for the most important game.
The Minnesota Timberwolves will play the Western Conference Play-In Tournament against the Oklahoma City Thunder on the 15th (Korean time). If they win, they will advance to the playoffs as the 8th seed in the West, but if they lose, the season is over.
The team atmosphere is at its worst. During the final game of the regular season, Rudy Gobert punched Kyle Anderson. Jayden McDaniels was out of his control and hit a wall with his fist and suffered a fractured bone.
Gobert was suspended from the club, and McDaniels missed the play-in tournament with the Los Angeles Lakers due to an injury. As a result, the lead was overturned by 15 points and lost after an extended game.
The one-game penalty Minnesota imposed on Gobert was lifted. However, it is not easy to play in Oklahoma City and the game. The American sports media ‘ESPN’ announced on the 14th, “It has not been decided whether Gobert will participate in the game against Oklahoma City. He is suffering from a continuous back injury this season.”
Gobert complained of pain. “I still have quite a bit of pain in my back, but he’s able to move around and he’s making small progress every day,” he said.
Oklahoma City is a team with a small lineup. Without a center, three forward guards and two forwards are turned into the main lineup.
With 216cm ‘Ebel Tower’ Gobert, Minnesota could easily take the game. With Karl-Anthony Towns and Gobert standing together, Minnesota’s height is the highest in the league.
The story is different when Gobert is gone. Oklahoma City, which came up after beating the Chicago Bulls, is at its peak.먹튀검증 Ace Shai Gilgeous Alexander and other key players are young and active, overwhelming Minnesota in an energy battle.
Minnesota gave up a lot last summer to acquire one Gobert. Six players, including Jared Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, and Walker Kassler, were sent four future rookie draft 1st round nomination rights and one nomination ticket exchange ticket in return.
With the acquisition of Gobert, the future that Minnesota envisioned is winning. However, from the first season of the transfer, the story is flowing in the opposite direction to expectations.
