basketball myth

In fact, the Minnesota Timberwolves are not one of the teams participating in the opening game of the new season. w w w . 8 9 r e a d . In fact, they are not even playing on the first day of the new season.

However, their game is still during the Christmas holiday, and many fans are still looking forward to it.

For no other reason than the Timberwolves' first opponent of the season was the Oklahoma City Thunder, who eliminated them in the second round of the playoffs last season.

This kind of matchup seemed to have been deliberately arranged by the league management, making the fans of the Timberwolves and Thunder very excited, trying to see what kind of different sparks the two sides would collide with.

Many meddlesome media and so-called basketball experts have already made predictions about this game in advance. However, most of them believe that the Thunder will once again successfully defeat the Timberwolves and win the first victory in the new season.

.

"The Oklahoma City Thunder have gone through the baptism of the last playoffs. Their tactics, player experience, key ball handling and many other aspects have made a qualitative leap. The Minnesota Timberwolves lost to them last season.

It is still difficult to win this battle."

"Looking at today's league, the Thunder are almost the only team without obvious weaknesses. Moreover, their main lineup is very young and energetic. They have also passed the Western Conference finals and can face all strong opponents and opponents.

This is a dangerous situation. This season, they can even finally stand on the championship stage! The Timberwolves, at best, are only a playoff team, but they cannot pose much threat to the Thunder. Therefore, in the first game of the new season,

The possibility of the Thunder continuing to win is indeed very high!"

"Except for the three people in Miami, it's almost the three people in the Thunder who have the craziest offensive capabilities. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden, their firepower can...

Kill all opponents. Even if the Timberwolves have Lee, they can't stop the Thunder from moving forward!"

…

The public opinion before this game did show signs of being one-sided.

But this is not without reason. In last year's playoffs, the Thunder performed really well, making many people become their fans and supporters.

Although the Thunder unfortunately failed in the Western Conference finals and lost to the Dallas Mavericks. However, the Dallas Mavericks were the team that finally won the championship. The Thunder's loss did not appear too weak, but it was a kind of

Proof of glory and power. The storm has become more mature and stunning. Kevin Durant has won

He has won the scoring title for two consecutive seasons, and although Russell Westbrook still makes mistakes from time to time, his personal power is really powerful and shocking, enough to scare any opponent. In addition, they have new players on the bench.

James Harden has stood up, but he has also matured and become stronger rapidly, and he is hard to guard against.

The Thunder's three guns from the outside can scare countless opponents and make it difficult for them to parry. At the same time, they are not weak inside, and they have outstanding and powerful players.

Therefore, with the power of last season's Western Conference Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder are booming in the new season and have indeed become one of the strong contenders for this season's championship!

In comparison, most media and experts believe that even if the Minnesota Timberwolves are slightly stronger this season, they are about to play against the Thunder, which passed the playoffs and Western Conference finals last season.

There is no advantage whatsoever, and defeat is inevitable.

They have long forgotten the Timberwolves' unlucky situation in the second round of the playoffs last season, and are just judging heroes based on the results.

As for the Thunder players, they learned their lesson before the game, and no one deliberately shouted provocations at the Timberwolves anymore.

They waited quietly and prepared, and quickly arrived at the home court of the Timberwolves. The entire team's behavior had also matured a lot. It indeed had the demeanor of a strong team, and was no longer as restless and prone to trouble as before.

As for the Timberwolves playing at home, they naturally knew all the current situations on both sides very early on, and had heard and read numerous columns from so-called expert scouts and even the media.

As most people looked down upon the strength of the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves players couldn't help but feel angry. They were dissatisfied and felt insulted and ignored.

Because they were very confident before the game and at the start of the new season, and they didn't feel at all that they would be worse than any other team.

The Thunder were able to defeat them last season only because of a certain amount of luck. In fact, the Timberwolves also passed the gold medal in the playoffs and even completed the "Black Eight Miracle". They will never win in the playoffs.

How much worse than the Thunder in terms of experience and momentum!

Therefore, they immediately made up their minds to show their full strength and show their strong form in every game in the new season.

They want to prove to those who have belittled them, as well as to the Thunder and other teams, that the Timberwolves will also be a highly competitive team in the new season!

…

Li Feng once again stood in the Target Center Arena, home of the Timberwolves, and listened to the crazy cheers and cheers of tens of thousands of home fans who were once again full, especially the sweet voices of those who kept shouting his name. He couldn't help but feel more excited.

He quickly became extremely proud, and his whole body was filled with inexhaustible motivation.

Obviously, Timberwolves fans have recognized and liked him more and more, and their crazy pursuit of him far exceeds that of anyone on the team.

His reputation has already spread throughout Minnesota!

Of course, this is a wonderful honor, but it must also be a heavy pressure.

In fact, after one season last year, Li Feng is now the top star of the Timberwolves, the core of the team's offense, and a leader-level figure.

If he hadn't completely completed the contract extension, he would have been the cornerstone and absolute future of the Timberwolves. But even if the contract extension is still under negotiation, he is still the focus of the Timberwolves.

Therefore, he must calm down and study hard how to be a better team leader.

A player who can score crazy points on the court or do various things on the court to help the team is not enough to fully assume the responsibility of a team's number one star and leader.

Li Feng understands this very well. He must do more, not only on the field, but also in the spirit of the team members, in the momentum shown by the team, and in all aspects, he must set an example.

And take the lead. He has this responsibility and obligation to bring the Timberwolves to a higher level and turn them into a stronger team.

Only in this way can he be considered a better leader-level player, not just a data master!

Therefore, no matter what the final goal set by others in the Timberwolves is, Li Feng's personal goal this season is no longer as simple as leading the team into the playoffs. He hopes to become a qualified leader and lead the Timberwolves

This season, we can play stronger, more stable, and have the temperament of a strong, oppressive team. We can go further than last season and gain more positive recognition from people.

The Timberwolves must truly become a super competitive team, and no longer just a strong team or a playoff-level team!

And tonight's Oklahoma City Thunder happens to be his first opponent with the Timberwolves this season.

Naturally, Li Feng is even more looking forward to using the Thunder to complete the flag ceremony and declare to the world how fast and mighty the Timberwolves' progress in the new season will be!

The game is about to begin.
