584. The Butcher's Reintegration(2/2)
On the afternoon of the second day of the game against the Pacers, the Trail Blazers left Portland and came to Minneapolis. In the pregame meeting the next morning, Maurice Cheeks, as promised,
Randolph was put on the bench.
After the pre-game meeting, Raheem ran to Randolph to show off that he had grabbed the starting position. Randolph said a few harsh words, then held his fat face with his fat hands and looked at himself in pity...
The onlookers, the lawless maniacs, asked the onlookers, the warden: "Wouldn't the bishop's words make the butcher hate him? The butcher's mind is as big as a nut."
The warden shook his head: "It is precisely because the bishop said this that the butcher will not hold a grudge. The butcher is not afraid of competition, but hates being comforted and sympathized with."
The outlaw maniac suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I wonder why the bishop, a man like this, could suddenly be so proud..."
In the evening, the Trail Blazers came to the Target Center Arena to challenge the Timberwolves away from home.
Randolph was really put on the bench, and Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Outlaws, Raheem, and Kwame Brown started.
This really stimulated Randolph. Randolph, who came off the bench, played 26 minutes and made 9 of 15 shots, plus 7 of 9 free throws. He scored 25 points and 12 rebounds, 7 of which were offensive rebounds.
Garnett was beaten mercilessly by the angry fat man.
Led by Randolph who scored 25 points in 26 minutes, Liu Xiu had a triple-double of 17 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. Ray Allen made 6 of 8 shots and scored 15 points... The Trail Blazers finished with 95
Easily defeated the Timberwolves by 83, improved the record to 17 wins and 5 losses, tied with the Spurs, and tied with the Spurs for first place in the Western Conference!
In Randolph's first game back, Liu Xiu felt that Randolph found his form quickly enough. For the loss against the Pacers, Liu Xiu didn't feel that Randolph could be blamed, but the coach just felt that it was not enough.
Give Randolph a push.
It worked out!
This operation must be done by their bold and sloppy-looking coach.
In the past, Randolph found his form very quickly, purely relying on his talent. Now, Randolph is more active mentally!
The cooperation between Randolph and his teammates in this game feels like it did before the injury!
Chapter completed!
