Wow, Gobert's recent performance has been truly amazing! This guy is simply a monster of rebounds and blocks, and he can easily get more than double ten data every day, and he is flying. I think he was already the No. 1 center in the league when he was on the Jazz back then, leading those young lads to the Western Conference Finals, which was simply mighty and domineering. Later, he came to the Timberwolves, and he has always maintained good physical condition and superb rebounding and blocking ability.
This time, Gobert is at the peak of his form again! In the last 5 games, he has averaged 16 points per gameThe comprehensive data of 8 rebounds and 4 blocks, especially in terms of rebounds, has completely abused all interior players, scoring an astonishing 20+ rebounds in two consecutive games, which is only 3 people in the history of the Timberwolves: Garnett, Love and Gobert themselves! Therefore, Gobert's rebounding control has reached the extreme, and no one can compete with him in this area. At the same time, his block stats are also very impressive, and he continues to play the strength of the league's top defensive goalkeeper.
Both his teammates and the head coach are extremely happy with Gobert's current form. Edwards was full of praise for Gobert's return to his prime, with the Jazz guarding the basket like an impregnable wall. The 31-year-old veteran is also full of confidence, claiming that he has grown into the strongest version of Gobert of all time! Lao Mo is really too modest, and even a new generation of superstars like thick eyebrows have to bow down. I believe that as long as Gobert is still holding the last line of defense on the team, any team that dares to offend my Timberwolves will suffer!
When it comes to the name Bushy Eyebrows, he and Gobert are the biggest contenders for this year's Defensive Player of the Year award. The current first place in the DPOY odds is our team's old Mgoebel, and the second place is the Philadelphia 76ers' rising star thick eyebrows. Gobert has claimed the accolade three times in his career, just one last chance away from the record of four DPOs held by Mutombo and Ben Wallace! I believe that with Gobert's current state, as long as the Timberwolves can continue to maintain their position as the leader in the West, then the fourth Defensive Player of the Year award this season is inevitable! When the time comes, Gobert and the two seniors will write a glorious page of NBA history!
To be honest, Gobert has not been highly rated in the past, feeling that his huge contract and real output are not as good as trading him to Andrew Wiggins for the Timberwolves. But after several years of playing with the Timberwolves, Gobert has fully proven that he is not just a blue-collar role player with a block, but also an impressive all-round ability, positive impact and mainstay. This state outbreak only further demonstrates Lao Mo's strength!
In addition to Gobert, our Timberwolves' other interior player, Naz Reed, is also worth mentioning! Although he is currently only a substitute, he has also performed well, especially on the defensive end. Some time ago, the team renewed his contract with him for 3 years and $42 million, which is really a good deal! I believe that with Reed's potential, his salary will soon rise as much as his performance!
All in all, with Gobert in the restricted area, coupled with honest Carter and star scorer Edwards, our Timberwolves definitely have the strength to break out of the West this year, and even win the championship! How far do you think the team can go this year? I think I'll have to make it to the finals at the very least!
