But in front of the criticisms of an opponent, the canvas did not really like.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-571490\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Wolves start their series against the Lakers this Saturday evening and we can tell you that the outcome remains a total mystery. Rudy Gobert will have a big role on paper with a fairly weak racket opposite, but JJ Redick could choose the Small Ball to take the advantage. Game 1 will in any case allow you to know much more.<\/p>\n<p>Rudy wants to prove that he has his place on the prosecution and not find himself on the bench most of the time. Among the Lakers, however, it is not considered a real threat according to the recent words of Jaxson Hayes. The latter will pay attention to the French of course, but <strong>His priorities are elsewhere for the moment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Rudy Gobert determined before the Lakers<\/h2>\n<p>But this sentence clearly did not please everyone. Gobert is able to do damage, even if he will have to improve his efficiency towards the circle if he wants to put Hayes and the other interiors in difficulty. On Twitter, a few people took the floor to defend French, capable of beautiful things according to them.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-post\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"next-post__text\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tRead<br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Before the shock against the Lakers, Anthony Edwards&#39; big request to his teammates!\n\t<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>@Samhusby<\/strong> : &#8220;It&#39;s crazy to see all these interiors who have not accomplished anything about Rudy Gobert. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It must be said that Gobert has an impressive CV and just with his defense, he will change a lot against the Angelinos. JJ Redick knows that he will have to adjust his plans to try to take the advantage, and it therefore potentially goes through Small-Ball.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>@LoafofBreadLife<\/strong> : &#8220;I can&#39;t wait to see a Rudy Gobert annoyed with his offensive rebounds and his Dunks !!! \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>@Jokstan1<\/strong> : \u201cThe lack of respect for Rudy Gobert is really crazy. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Even if Hayes remains moderate in his words, note that Luka Doncic went a little further. In front of journalists, <strong>He admits to having a good time to face Gobert and wants to provoke him<\/strong> often in a duel. One thing that Minnesota will have to try to limit as best as possible, because the Slovenian seems very determined before the reunion with the French.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Rudy Gobert is also defended on social networks, he who will have a good card to play against Lakers from Game 1. But depending on tactical evolution, French could also have a bad series.
