Mike Brown was successfully convinced to join the Clippers' coaching staff.

Brown learned of his dismissal in the morning and went to the Lakers' office to pack up his things and leave at noon, and completed the procedures for quitting the appointment.

For him, this was a relief.

Whenever he thinks of this tragic day and becomes the shortest-lived coach of the NBA season in history, he will always be unable to help but hide in the quilt and laugh out loud.

In the afternoon, Brown received an invitation from the Clippers management. He did not think too much and agreed happily.

Then he appeared in the Clippers' locker room at Stamps Center.

Of course, due to the contract procedures, Brown cannot sit on the sidelines to participate in the Clippers game for the time being.

He has to complete a process before he can officially join the company and move to the next door.

Of course, the reporters couldn't wait. Just when Brown appeared at Stamps Center wearing a Clippers logo shirt, many people understood that Brown was coming to the Clippers!

The reporters were all excited, this was big news.

Xinke FVP left the Lakers in the summer and went to the Clippers. After the season started, the best coach went to the Clippers again.

Are the Clippers trying to hollow out the Lakers?

It's really wrong for the Clippers. The Clippers have never thought so before.

They are all voluntary!

Li Liang and Brown had a "long-term separation" and their spirits improved a lot.

It's pretty good to have Brown. It can not only provide high-quality defensive strategies, but also create a jig.

If you have something to do or not, you will feel much better.

After all, Fuss has not been in contact for a long time, so it is not pleasant to scold him.

At 7:30 pm, the Clippers players walked onto the court and prepared to start the battle with the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves came to Los Angeles to play back-to-back away games, and they won the last game so happily.

The Lakers basically had no resistance and were beaten by the Timberwolves.

Kevin Love scored 25 points and 14 rebounds, Kevin Martin scored 27 points, and Rubio scored 12 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists, winning a triple-double.

Whether the Lakers defend or attack, they can't cause trouble for the Timberwolves, making them play too smoothly.

In Stamps' second battle, the Timberwolves would not have been so easy.

The Timberwolves have been unfavorable since they joined the league. After so many years, they have only become a big hit in 2004.

The other time is a waste of the talent of the star players in the team. After all, the team's operations are really fascinating.

In fact, although Minnesota is a place of ice and snow in the north, basketball is carried out very early and very popular.

The Lakers were founded in Mingzhou and became the first dynasty in NBA history.

So although it is a small ball market, Mingzhou is by no means a barren place for basketball.

It’s a pity that their luck is really bad. Since they relied on the three-headed monsters to enter the Western Conference Finals in 2004, they have not made it to the playoffs for nine consecutive years.

You have to say that the team's lineup is very poor, Love, Rubio, and Martin are all very capable players.

And Brewer and Pekovic are all very good players.

The head coach is even more famous coach Rick Adelman, and his coaching skills are no problem.

But this team is inexplicable and always lacks combat effectiveness.

Garnett was there, but he had only entered the playoffs for seven consecutive years and was swept in the first round.

Without Garnett, the Timberwolves have never made it in the playoffs since they started the team.

It is enough to show that, one, Garnett is really awesome; two, the Timberwolves team is really unreliable.

So, when Li Liang was trying out, he didn't think about going to the Timberwolves to try it out.

Although he is the father of the system, what should he do if the system cannot save the Timberwolves?

This year's Timberwolves seem to have a little momentum of a strong team. They have gradually built a team system with Love and Rubio as the core.

Love is amazing enough in the data, averaging 26 points and 17 rebounds per game in the first seven games.

In the past thirty years, no player has been able to play such data in the previous seven games.

Love is a player who doesn't look tall, strong, and not happy, and is still a white player.

But after a game, the data is often scary.

In 10 years, Love, who entered the third year of the league, scored 31 points and 31 rebounds against the Knicks.

The last player who completed this double 30 data can be traced back to Moses Malone in the 1970s and 1980s.

To be honest, this kind of data is really terrible.

But no matter how terrible it is, Love never showed the influence of the field like Garnett.

Garnett dragged the Timberwolves into the playoffs in the 1996-1997 season.

The Timberwolves' record, which will reach 30 wins last season, has always been a strong contender for the No. 1 pick.

This summer, the Timberwolves reached an agreement with free agent Kevin Martin to sign him to supplement the team's back line firepower.

Martin spent only one season with the Thunder, and after the Thunder failed in the Western Conference Finals, he parted ways with them.

It can only be said that the Thunder's decision to trade Harden was really stupid. He wasted a championship season and finally lost the trading entity Martin.

Martin worked with Adelman when he was King and knew each other well.

So when we came to the Timberwolves, Martin felt like he was in water in the few games after the season began.

He scored 30 points against the Knicks, 32 points against the Mavericks, and broke 20 points in the other games.

Martin's style of play is more suitable for starting, and one-on-one single challenge and breakthrough are not his strengths.

He needs to gain a certain tactical position in the starting lineup, relying on the cooperation of stronger teammates to open up space and develop a sense of touch.

It would be not good to let him play as a substitute. He does not have the ability to "everyone can dodge the ball by myself."

In this regard, Martin is not as good as Crawford, so putting aside defense, Crawford is a better sixth man.

Before the game started, Rivers made arrangements for Martin.

It is a waste to ask Li Liang to defend Martin and let Li Liang defend Cory Brewer.

Li Liang also defended Martin when he played against the Thunder last season.

Defensive backs are not a problem for him. His height and wingspan are an advantage, and his footsteps are often powered in the system, so they are quite solid.

Martin is not good at footsteps and speed. Like Harden, he is good at rhythm and play smart. Li Liang is the least afraid of such an attacker.

The competition begins on time.

In the first goal of the game, Martin used the screen to try to jump shot from mid-range.

As a result, he was entangled by Li Liang but failed and could only pass the ball to his teammates to reorganize the tactics.

At this time, Mike Brown was sitting in the audience watching the game.

He had taken off the Clippers' logo shirt and changed into regular clothes, like an audience member.

Brown knew that he did not come to the Clippers to enjoy the happiness, but to carry the mission.

Rivers has already said that the Clippers need a solid and reliable defensive system.

Mike Brown's main task is to build a system for the Clippers and then implement it in training and competitions.

This game is a good opportunity for Brown to observe the Clippers at close range and think in his mind about what kind of defense they are suitable for.

In the playoffs last season, as the Lakers head coach, Brown analyzed the Clippers' weaknesses.

Their weakness is obvious, that is, they cannot change defense.

Now that the role changes, Brown has to think about how to make up for these weaknesses.

This is really a big challenge.
