The Rockets are going to thank their opponents for letting go of the first victory? The Timberwolves main player rested all round, and the two rookies grew rapidly last year

From the rules of the summer league, the top four teams will enter the semi-finals, and the remaining teams will play one game, which is not very meaningful. The reason for saying this is because the Timberwolves maintained a complete victory in the first four games, but they were not lucky because many teams had the same record and the Timberwolves had a disadvantage in net victory. Even if they won all four games, they would not be able to compete for the championship.

On the contrary, the Rockets lost all the first four games, ranking last among all teams. Unexpectedly, facing the strong rival Timberwolves, the Rockets won the first victory in Xia Lian. Of course, we also have to thank our opponents for letting go, because the Timberwolves unfortunately missed the semi-finals, and the coaching staff simply arranged all the main players to rest. It was considered a substitute lineup against the Rockets, and they lost three-pointers in the end. It can be seen that the Rockets won very hard. The reason why the Timberwolves won all the first four games was that except for the strong enough main players, the depth of the bench was also excellent.

Two of them were rookies last year, and this summer league grew rapidly. Robert Dillingham, as the No. 8 pick, did not get much time and opportunity last season, but the Timberwolves obviously regarded him as a long-term training target. In this summer league, Dillingham did not disappoint, except for his slightly sluggish first game against the Pelicans, and he played continuously since then. For example, when the Timberwolves played against the Nuggets, Dillingham scored 15 points, 9 assists and 3 steals. In the last game, he scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, making him the best player in the team. The Timberwolves lost Alexander Walker this summer, and veteran Conley is also old, so naturally, Dillingham is urgently needed to grow up as soon as possible.

, and Terence Shannon had a slightly lower pick, but was also the No. 27 pick in the first round. In fact, in a limited time, Terence Shannon still showed his explosive scoring power and outstanding talent. During this summer league this year, he averaged 22.7 points per game, which was a sharp knife from the Timberwolves on the outside, and his three-point shooting percentage was nearly 40%, which was really difficult to guard against.

Of course, the Timberwolves were invincible in the first four games, and the team's efforts were still the joint efforts of the whole team. The Pelicans, Nuggets, Pistons and Suns all lost to them one after another. The other three regular starters in the Timberwolves, Berlange was the No. 17th pick this year, and Leonard Miller and Jaylen Clark were slightly worse, but they were also second-round picks. So the Timberwolves lineup is really the top-notch among all teams in the summer league. If all the main players were not on the rest of the round, the Rockets would probably not be able to beat it.
