Wiggins tasted the joy of winning in the Warriors, as one of the geniuses of the timberwolves, Wiggins was praised for his personal performance after leaving the Timberwolves, and his attention was significantly improved, but what about Towns, who was still struggling with the Timberwolves? At present, the Timberwolves have a record of 18 wins and 20 losses ranked 9th in the West, the win rate of 47.4% is not too good, fortunately, the Clippers in front of the Timberwolves have a win rate of only 48.7%, it seems that the Timberwolves have a play in the top 8 in the West?
If you want to become the top 8 team in the West, the Timberwolves must find the code to win, especially with a good set of lineups, according to statistics, when the Timberwolves sent Downs, Edwards, Russell, Beverley and Vanderbilt at the same time, the Timberwolves' offensive efficiency was 136.9, the defensive efficiency was 86.4, and the net efficiency was 50.5 points, that is to say, the Timberwolves won 50.5 points per hundred rounds, it seems that the Timberwolves' strongest 5-man group came out, and this set of 5-man lineups is the aforementioned Towns, Edwards, Russell, Beverley and Vanderbilt.
Yes, the Timberwolves found the code to win, Towns did not have to brush the data alone, because the Timberwolves net efficiency reached a terrifying 50.5 5-man roster, their offense is indeed very strong, up to 136.9 offensive efficiency says it all, the data is not lying, so the defense of this set of Timberwolves' strongest 5-man lineup is also very chicken, because their defensive efficiency is only 86.4, not very high, and their defense is very dependent on Beverley, nicknamed "Mad Dog".
Beverley has always been the trouble of the opponent's number one star, even if the gap between Beverley and James is huge in height, size, fame, etc., Beverley is the First Choice for the Timberwolves to defend James. Of course, under the offensive and defensive efficiency, the strongest 5-man group created by the Timberwolves still has a net efficiency of 50.5, indicating that the Timberwolves still have some combat strength, and it is not without drama to return to the top 8 in the West, on the one hand, they are only 0.5 wins away from the Clippers in the 8th in the West, on the other hand, the next 5 games are good for the Timberwolves.
With the pride of 2 consecutive wins, the Timberwolves in the next 3 games are the Thunder, rockets and pelicans, are the famous fish belly team this season, the Timberwolves have no reason not to seize the opportunity to win a wave of 5 consecutive wins, this is the Timberwolves anti-Clippers and kill back to the top 8 in the West will be, so the Timberwolves are drama, provided that the Timberwolves can not eat the fish belly team all, because then the Timberwolves are going to face the Grizzlies and Warriors, a 55-open showdown, It is also necessary to test whether the Timberwolves' strongest 5-man group is worthy of this season's Western Conference playoffs
