Scored 40 points, plus eight assists, five rebounds, four steals, and two blocks. Welcome to reading...

Li Feng produced another very eye-catching and beautiful data, but it will not surprise too many people. It seems that if he plays similar basic data in every game now, it is already a very normal performance. Unless

He will have a more terrifying and outstanding performance on the court, otherwise people will really not even be shocked.

Of course, perhaps because this is an away game, more Mavericks fans will not openly cheer and shout for him, but will only slowly leave the game with regret and helplessness.

And in the middle of the game after defeating the Mavericks, Li Feng was not in a hurry to leave, but chose to continue chatting with Arab League for a few words, hoping that Arab League could play better in the future.

Although the UAE team regretfully lost at this time and did not play much tonight, my personal mood was not too high. Moreover, I still felt regretful and helpless for not being able to grasp the key goal before.

But for Li Feng, a good friend and a teammate of the national team, his response was still very friendly.

In addition, Li Feng is now at the top of his game, and his status has been far behind him. Therefore, if Li Feng can give him some advice immediately after the game, the Arab League will still be very serious and

Listening with emotion.

Indeed, what Li Feng said to him just now is correct. He always lacks some confidence in the game, and is not resolute and decisive enough. Not tough enough. These are all facts, and he will not deny it.

The reason why Li Feng took the initiative to bring it up to him immediately after the game was because he fully recognized their previous friendly relationship and sincerely hoped that he could get better, so he gave kind reminders and help.

After hearing Li Feng's serious statement and some reasonable suggestions he continued to give, Arab League quickly thought of Li Feng's current playing style and performance, as well as some of the games Li Feng had talked to him about.

After hearing this, he couldn't help but quickly gain some new insights. Especially in tonight's game, Li Feng's various strong and confident performances at critical moments suddenly flashed in his mind. He could really see it with his own eyes.

Witnessing it once had already provided him with a lot of stimulation.

So, after a moment of silence, Ah Lian suddenly became alert and could not help but swear secretly in his heart, determined that he would continue to work hard in the days to come and develop in a better and more correct direction. Next time, he should achieve success.

The progress surprised Li Feng.

Immediately afterwards, he temporarily said "take care" to Li Feng and went back to the locker room.

…

Seeing Ah Lian's expression suddenly shining brightly when he just left the court, it seemed that he had suddenly shown signs of developing in the right direction, and Li Feng finally felt a little relieved.

Although he is a little smaller than Ah Lian, this does not affect his desire to see Ah Lian become more mature and stronger on the playing field.

If the Arab League can really adjust and wake up in time and play at a stronger level on the court, it will be a good thing for his personal career, and it will be a great blessing for Chinese basketball.

Last season, Dayao took a timely rest and was finally not scrapped early. However, Dayao is getting older after all.

Therefore, the existence of Arab League is also very important to Chinese basketball. He must stay in the NBA with the highest level of basketball in order to continue to improve and become stronger. I hope that Arab League can really bottom out this time and rebound.

If you understand it quickly, you can have a successful career in the NBA.

Li Feng took a deep breath, then took the initiative to smile at the many Mavericks fans who had not yet left the court, and planned to walk off the court.

There were reporters at the scene who wanted to interview him, but he kindly refused. He planned to stay at the press conference to answer everyone's curious questions, and he would not waste time and saliva for the time being.

The reporter probably understood his usual behavior and did not continue to insist. Instead, he moved in the direction of the press conference, probably planning to compete with other colleagues for seats.

Li Feng then slowly walked into the passage of the locker room accompanied by the Timberwolves staff.

Suddenly, there happened to be a person standing in an intersection of the Mavericks' home court, but he directly blocked his way.

Li Feng took a closer look and found that the man was none other than Mark Cuban.

"Hey, Li, you are so powerful, and you really deserve your reputation. I treated you to a barbecue last night, but now that I think about it, it was all in vain." Mark Cuban shook his head and said with a hint of helpless ridicule.

Li Feng immediately stopped and signaled the team staff to leave early, then smiled at Mark Cuban, the Mavericks' boss, and said, "Haha, boss. You treat me and my teammates to a big meal.

I'm still very grateful to you. But, you always keep

You played some little tricks before the game to cause trouble for me, which quickly ruined my good mood. So, I wanted to win your Mavericks and keep teasing you to make me happy again.

And in tonight’s game, I should have done really well.”

"More than good, your performance tonight almost gave me a heart attack! We were already almost winning, and you were able to pull the game into overtime in time. And in the last few seconds of overtime,

We suddenly had another chance to win, but you took it away. You said that this kind of roller coaster-like situation kept happening, but it happened to be in your hands again. This was not intentional.

Doesn’t it make all of us in the Mavericks unhappy?”

"Who gave you the home whistle? If it hadn't been for that inexplicable walking call, you wouldn't have to be too excited and nervous. If you lose in advance, you will be prepared and adapted a few seconds earlier.

So. So, the victory in the game is mine, it is mine. Even if it seems to be within easy reach of you, it is destined to be mine in the end!" Li Feng said very confidently and happily.

Mark Cuban nodded slightly at him: "Well, what you said is very good. It is really uncomfortable to die before the last moment."

Then, he suddenly changed the topic again and became very serious, "Then if I tell you now that you are destined to be the goal and future of our Mavericks, what will you think?"

"Well……"

Li Feng was shocked and a little surprised by Cuban's sudden formal attitude. It seemed that Cuban really had big ideas for him now!

Facing Cuban's increasingly serious expression, Li Feng was shocked and silent for a moment. Then he continued to laugh and said: "I really can't imagine the situation you said, because I am still a player of the Timberwolves.

And it feels good.”

Indeed, at this time, he has no reason to betray the Timberwolves and choose to change teams and join another team. On the one hand, he does not want to do this yet. On the other hand, the Timberwolves cannot let him leave just like that!

Mark Cuban understood Li Feng's somewhat roundabout refusal, and stared directly into Li Feng's eyes for a long time. After a while, he sighed lightly: "Indeed, at this moment

It is almost impossible to operate and trade you. However, you are still very young, I

I think you may change your mind in the future. If you have the idea of ​​​​transferring in the future, I hope you can consider my Mavericks first. This is what I say from my heart, and it can also be said to be a formal invitation. Please consider it carefully.

.I very much look forward to joining forces with you to build a great Mavericks dynasty!"

After saying that, Mark Cuban patted Li Feng hard on the shoulder, turned around and left quickly without saying another word.

Watching Mark Cuban slowly disappear behind the corner, Li Feng suddenly fell into deep contemplation. It seems that Mark Cuban, the big boss of the Mavericks, really has a lot of thoughts about him.

.

However, this is really not the best time for him to consider a transfer. Because judging from the reaction from the agent team, his new big contract is about to be agreed upon and become a new contract. He will soon

Signed a contract with the Timberwolves and will definitely stay in Minneapolis for a while.

As for the future, we really have to wait until the future to make a decision.

For now, the Timberwolves are still his favorite place, and the entire team has gradually become quite strong. Everything is bright, and he has no reason to think otherwise.

Afterwards, he joked with his teammates for a while in the locker room.

Li Feng quickly took a shower, and then appeared at the press conference with head coach Rambis. He successfully completed the routine tasks after the game to the reporters and created a lot of satisfactory material for the media.

After defeating the Dallas Mavericks, the Timberwolves did not have much time to digest the aftermath of the game. They needed to rush to San Antonio immediately to play another game with the Spurs, another Texas team.

I still remember that at the beginning of this season, the first team the Timberwolves lost to was the Spurs led by the "gdp combination". Therefore, this trip can be regarded as a revenge trip for the Timberwolves

.

They hope to immediately defeat the Spurs in back-to-back games to put an end to their youthful mistakes before the season and write a new chapter for their maturity and true strength.

The Spurs also seemed to attach great importance to the arrival of the Timberwolves. Their players kept complimenting the Timberwolves in their descriptions to the outside world.

For example, Tim Duncan said that Li Feng is definitely the most powerful guard he has ever seen, stronger than his two teammates. And Duncan's good teammates, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, also expressed this opinion.

Without any objection, they immediately agreed and said that they had no good way to restrict Li Feng.

As for the Spurs' super boss, the team's head coach **Vicci, he also took the initiative to declare that when he sees Li Feng today, he is like seeing Michael Jordan. He has no confidence in winning, but just prays.

Li Feng is in bad condition.

Li Feng was suddenly flattered by these praises from the Spurs, which seemed to reflect his character. He felt quite surprised and helpless.

However, in fact, everyone in the Timberwolves has already fully understood the strength of Vicky and his group of Spurs players, and they will not really become careless about this. They quickly guessed that these statements should be

A deliberate psychological warfare attempt by the Spurs.

However, Li Feng and the Timberwolves players came here just to take revenge. In fact, they no longer accept this trick. Not only were they not affected, they even quickly gave similar "compliments" to the Spurs.

Fight back".

"Coach **Vitch of the Spurs is a head coach that I admire very much. And the three stars, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili, are seniors that I admire very much. This

That's why, in fact, our Timberwolves and Spurs have played many games in the past, and some unpleasant experiences have happened, but it still can't stop me.

I look at them with great respect again. This time the Timberwolves are away again, and they just played a difficult overtime game with the Mavericks, so I no longer expect to win against the Spurs. I just hope we don't

It’s okay if we lose too badly. After all, the physical fitness of my teammates and I can’t keep up.” Li Feng took the initiative to speak to the outside world.

At the same time, his teammate Kevin Love was not to be outdone: "The Spurs' home court is simply terrible! We don't want to compete here with the strongest team in the league in ten years. This is really difficult."

"Although our record is now ahead of the Spurs, that's just because our schedule is more favorable. In fact, the Spurs are the strongest in the Western Conference." Timberwolves head coach Rambis also spoke highly of the Spurs.

…

But just as everyone in the Timberwolves made similar compliments and showed weakness to the enemy. After using the same behavior to retaliate against the San Antonio Spurs, they quickly exerted their strength in the following back-to-back games and suddenly beat the Spurs.

A show of force!

Not only were the players of the Timberwolves not significantly affected by their physical fitness after the start of the game against the Spurs, but they also continued their super hot state after the battle with the Dallas Mavericks. After the first quarter of the game,

Then the outside firepower was turned on.

In the second quarter of the game, when the Spurs tried to counterattack and extinguish the Timberwolves' outside firepower, the Timberwolves' insiders also quickly opened up, facing Tim Duncan.

He is a super insider, but he also made amazing contributions.

For a time, the Timberwolves' internal and external efforts worked together. The Spurs were unable to stop it and were at a loss to deal with it.

The Timberwolves are now much more focused and stronger than last season and the beginning of the season. They also continued to maintain a strong momentum of internal and external fire in the subsequent second half of the game, giving the Spurs another opportunity to counterattack.

It was a deep ambush.

As a result, the always strong Spurs were not able to fully adjust their state, but died first under the fierce attack of the Timberwolves. The fourth quarter of the game rarely became a complete garbage time.

The Timberwolves gave the Spurs another humiliating response, which could be regarded as a successful revenge, and they won the second game of back-to-back games as they wished.

In Li Feng's game against the Spurs, due to time constraints, his personal performance was slightly inferior to his performance against the Mavericks in the previous game. However, compared with the performance of the small leaders of the average team in the league during the same period, it was still significantly better.

After the game, Vicki and the Spurs quickly and helplessly complained to the media, saying that the reason why they lost the game miserably was mainly because they had clearly underestimated the strength of the Timberwolves.

They originally thought that the Timberwolves would only be a little stronger than last season, but they did not expect that the Timberwolves were really strong enough to gradually compete with them. Therefore, their loss to the Timberwolves in this home game was nothing.

Unjust. Some of the praise they gave Li Feng and the Timberwolves before the game now seems to be completely applicable and is no longer an exaggeration.

After successfully defeating the Spurs, the Timberwolves players became much happier.

At the same time, they have successfully won the first two of the four away games in the Southwest Division. For the next two opponents, they have more confidence to deal with them seriously.

Although this third game against the Houston Rockets was still the second consecutive back-to-back in the shortened season, with no rest in between. However, everyone in the Timberwolves still did not feel hard at all, and instead continued to be high-spirited and energetic.

.

Of course, no matter how strong the players' personal condition is, they really don't have much private time, and all their schedules are arranged very tightly, even tense.

Therefore, after quickly arriving in Houston, Li Feng did not even have time to have a private and friendly communication with Dayao in advance, and was just preparing to talk after the game.

In addition, in terms of the current record rankings in the Western Conference, although the Houston Rockets have not been able to reach the top few, they are still ranked among the top eight. Dayao's strong level ensures that even if there is no one like him around him,

Once a superstar like McGrady was healthy, but he only had teammates like Kevin Martin and Luis Scola, and he still barely had some hope of entering the playoffs this season.

As for a team like the Rockets, which is not as strong as the Rockets, it may actually be more difficult for the Timberwolves to play, and it must not be taken lightly. What's more, Dayao's own inside power is really not that of the young center of the Timberwolves.

Nikola Pekovic can directly compete.

In addition to being limited by his slow movement speed, poor explosive power, and bad injuries, Dayao is really strong in most other aspects. Since Shaq O'Neal retired, there are really not many centers in the league.

One can be his opponent.

Therefore, during this trip, the Timberwolves seemed to be trying their best to target Dayao's technical shortcomings, and considered letting Kevin Love constantly tease him during the game and lure him out of the penalty area.
