NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

On the 25th, the Blazers came to the Target Center Arena in Minnesota to play the Timberwolves away.

As for the topic of the Timberwolves' record, let's not mention it, and the main topic is just a sad story.

Anyway, in a word, Timberwolves fans are expected to be disappointed again this year.

However, before the game, the tickets at the Target Center were still selling!

The place is full!

First, this game is Wang Zelin's comeback battle, and the court platform chose to broadcast it live.

Second, this game was the first time Garnett returned to Minnesota to play after joining the Blazers.

Someone here may ask, at the end of 2013, won't the Blazers have a game with the Minnesota Timberwolves on December 22?

It was true that there was a game with the Timberwolves that day, but that time Garnett missed the game due to family reasons, which made many old fans in the past feel regretful.

Today, they finally came to Garnett!

In the afternoon, after Wang Zelin and his teammates finished training, it was time for media interviews.

"Kevin, this is the first time you have returned to the Target Center this year, can you briefly tell us how you feel?"

During the on-site interview, a reporter said

Garnett took a serious look around the Target Center arena, and stayed on the 2003-04 division championship banner for a while before coming back to his senses: "It feels great! But tonight I There will be no mercy."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Hearing Garnett's reply, the crowd laughed.

Perhaps, the Timberwolves fans who came to support Garnett are also in love with this man because of this.

"Then what do you want to say about the current leader of the Timberwolves, Kevin Love?"

Another reporter asked.

"Leader?" Garnett gave him a "you know" look, and then he couldn't help chuckling: "When he can lead the Timberwolves back to the playoffs, let's talk about this word again!"

Obviously, although he has not played in the city of Minnesota for many years, Garnett still hopes that the Timberwolves can get better and better.

After all, this was where his NBA career started. Aside from the Celtics championship, Garnett spent the most glamorous and profitable period of his entire career in Minnesota, and even he has done it well. When he is about to retire, he must return to Minnesota.

Minnesota, both the beginning and the end of his career.

This awareness, Garnett had a long time ago.

Besides, the way Garnett left the Timberwolves back then was a textbook level. Compared with those players who have never been in contact with their home team since leaving the team, Garnett couldn't have done better.

In the summer of 2007, when Garnett was told by the Timberwolves management that he could leave the team to pursue his championship dream, the man who was always full of infinite passion on the court was silent, and finally chose to hand over his future to the fan:

If more than half of the fans let themselves stay, then I'm not leaving!

This man, selected by the Timberwolves with the fifth overall pick in the first round of the 1995 draft, led the Timberwolves to stay in this icy and cold city of Minnesota for 12 years.

During this period, he hardly missed any games. In this city, he devoted all his youth...

Time flies, and this man is already a 31-year-old "old wolf" in a blink of an eye. In fact, fans also know that if they don't pursue the championship this summer, they may never have a chance.

In the end, the result of the vote was unexpected. More than 70% of the fans supported it, and even hoped that Garnett would let go of chasing his championship in the second half of his career.

So much so that some Minnesota fans shouted the classic "Get out and win the championship!"

Presumably, as long as Garnett releases the news that he wants to return to Minnesota in the twilight of his career, fans in this area may be too excited to sleep.

...

The game is about to start in the evening, and both sides will announce the starting roster.

Timberwolves: Ricky Rubio, Kevin Martin, Kerry Brewer, Kevin Love, Nikola Pekovic.

Trail Blazers: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Garnett, Wang Zelin.

Before the game, Coach Terry specifically asked Garnett if he would like to start tonight. If so, whether it is Wang Zelin or Aldridge, they are very happy to give up their starting tonight.

In the end, Garnett made a reasonable choice to accept the team's goodwill and become the starter; he chose to be the starting power forward, but it was unexpected.

After all, this season when he came to the Blazers, Garnett appeared more as a backup center, and his performance was really not bad. He averaged 11 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and he was almost catching up with ordinary teams. An ordinary starting center.

But when everyone thought of what Garnett said before the game, they suddenly understood something: This is determined to educate Love!

The players on the roster from both sides tonight have come to the entrance, waiting to play.

At this time, Love suddenly came over to the Blazers.

Even more surprising is that the person he was looking for was not Garnett, but Wang Zelin.

"Uh, Kevin, you're looking for me...what's the matter?"

Wang Zelin was completely confused, the person who sprayed you before the game was Garnett, why are you looking for me!

Are you looking for a ticket?

Le Fu, a big man who is almost seven feet tall, rubbed his hands shyly after hearing Wang Zeming's question.

"hiss!"

The people behind Wang Zelin took a deep breath. Could it be that there was some unknown secret between the two of them.

"Cough, that, you..."

Wang Zelin was confused by Love's reaction on the spot and continued to organize language for some reason.

"Cough, Wang, I just wanted to ask, what are you going to do for this year's All-Stars... ah no, is it a pre-game show?"

Maybe Love also realized that his reaction was a little wrong, and quickly expressed his intentions.

"Ah~ ah?"

Wang Zelin is even more stunned~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I understand all the words you said, but I can't understand them all together.

Later, in Le Fu's calm and flat voice, but with a hint of joy and excitement, Wang Zelin and the melon eaters behind him understood his purpose:

It turned out that Love, who was selected to the All-Star team for the first time in his career, was worried that he would perform poorly during the All-Star weekend.

So, he suddenly remembered the warm-up dance that Wang Zelin combined with several stars last season. Although it seems a little shameful now, it has achieved miraculous results and fans are still talking about it.

Even after this year's All-Star voting opened, many fans were curious about what surprises Wang Zelin would prepare for them in this year's All-Star Game.

It is a pity that Wang Zelin has not disclosed any rumors, so that fans admire his secret work even more.

Actually... I'm afraid even someone forgot that there was such a thing.
