The Timberwolves are the best, but they are a little bit short of

. The difference between Wolves is that their starting center is much more important than the average fake starting No. 5 position - the best defensive player in the 4th NBA, with an annual salary of 35 million, the team's most defensive influence. At the same time, they are also the real blue-collar workers with the roughest skills, the worst hands, and no dominant ball value in the team.

Gobert's extreme characteristics on both sides of the offense and defense are extremely sharp contrast with the most effective five-in-one lineup on the offense of modern basketball. Facing an opponent with weak defense, Gobert lifts the board with a stick and stirs up the inside, and offense is not a problem. When encountering the same top defense, Gobert's offensive drawbacks will be exposed, and the Wolves will face the multiple-choice question of whether to cut off the offense or defend.

In fact, the Wolves showed an impressive defense without Gobert in the 24-25 season. This is also one of the reasons why the controversy over baguette has further increased. If the wolf walks the logic of the small ball, it seems that nothing can be done if it relies on mobility and integrity to make up for the insufficient protection of the basket. But they can't play with the same thing. There is no wolf who has the ability to use Sikong Zhaixing per capita. The Wolves' Five Outsiders are a powerful change to themselves. The most prominent feature of this team in the overall league is their tall inside line.

"Faced with a specific opponent, use the right lineup at the right time" is a correct nonsense. I often say this in articles about the Clippers, and Director Lu always proves that overly idealized employment decisions can only be talked about on paper. Therefore, we cannot expect the wolf to switch to deal with everything through reasonable modes, as some twists may always exist. Will the Wolf make some lineup adjustments?

Gobert is 33 years old and has 2+1 contract left. The wolf wants to pray that he will remain in shape during the contract period. And as the team has been in the Western Conference Finals, it seems that there is no need to use practical actions to deny the original deal. Activating Gobert's offense and allowing the wolf to truly show the violence of the interior tower configuration is another way. To activate Gobert more fully on the offensive end, the Wolves must at least have a point guard who can play - although this may not be enough.

Conley is 37 years old, and his successor problem is not settled. Conley's playing time in the playoffs dropped by 8.1 minutes. It seems that the Wolf is reducing his dependence on him, but Huazi will sooner or later have to be a point guard partner who is more suitable for the timeline. Is Dillingham growing at a very fast pace? If he is not the answer, the Wolf's No. 1 reinforcement will be a dark line that always exists. Conley has less time left for them.

It is certainly not easy for a wolf to do big moves. Before considering strengthening, the growth of your own players may be the most direct and effective way to improve combat power. Huazi has been improving his performance with a relatively stable slope every season. He has advanced with three-pointers this season, and his firepower has been upgraded, truly entering the ranks of top-notch stars. As the leader of the championship team, he is considered a good match - unfortunately he is not as good as the SGA on the other side. There is a gap between the team and the top cards. It will not be easy for the wolf to overcome the defending champion, and the gap between the top cards can only be narrowed by Huazi's evolution.

Jardon Mike Daniels is another growth target. Has Jayden truly achieved an integrated offense and defense? Jaden is an expert in the weak side. It's just that stealing points on the weak side is not a serious way of playing. It's easy to say that when the Lakers lack defense ability on the weak side, it's another matter to encounter the Thunder with a full power. Jaden fulfilled his talent in the 24-25 season and punished weak defense more effectively, but like Gobert, he still did not get rid of the limitations of facing high-end defense. The lack of dominance ability makes him still have a huge distance from the "Pippen"-style forward all-around fighter, and the blue-collar MAX level is still a fairer evaluation.

Overall, the wolf is good. The quality of head rotation is high, the first star is not low, and the second developer exceeds expectations. Unfortunately, their advantages are a little inferior to those of the Western Conference Guard BOSS. The rotation of the latter part is unclear, and the bench needs to give up some unexpected growth. Compatibility of No. 5 and talent reserves of No. 1 are all issues that need to be solved in the long run.

Still the same thing, anyone who can fight against you can. They are princes in the West and have a gap with the strongest team, but no other team dares to say they can beat them.
