Atlanta, late at night.

There was a sparse cheer in the Phillips Arena. Although the sound was weak, it was very loud, and it was still clearly audible in this arena that accommodated tens of thousands of people.

"Twelve victories in a row! Another win, haha!!"

The bench of the Minnesota Timberwolves cheered, and Li Shihao was surrounded by his teammates, hugging and pushing.

Although they were all a group of big-bodied old men with a strong smell of sweat surging in their noses, Li Shihao didn't care at all, and his heart was full of unbearable joy.

They won another victory at the home of the Atlanta Hawks, adding their opening winning streak to [-] games. Now this has broken the team history record of the Minnesota Timberwolves, even the former "Wolf King" Garnett The Timberwolves of the period have never created such a great start record.

The reporters sitting in the Phillips Arena were in a daze. Although they were all colleagues, they came from all over the United States. They had a wealth of experience and had witnessed the ups and downs of too many basketball geniuses. But when the game ended tonight, they were a little lost. The score displayed high above the arena was clearly engraved in their hearts, and the blood-like color was dazzling.

The Minnesota Timberwolves won [-] consecutive victories at the beginning of the season, and they are heroic. They once again occupy the first place in the Western Conference and lead the league.

It's hard to believe that the young guards in front of us were still a weak team two seasons ago, and they were even in a situation where everyone could be bullied in the brutally competitive West.Now they have played a start feat that the Los Angeles Lakers have never played. With such momentum, it is hard to imagine how deep their future ceiling is.

If the success of last season was accidental, then this season's indomitable sprint momentum makes people have to face them squarely. Twelve consecutive victories are enough to prove their strength.

I'm afraid no one expected this result at the beginning of the season, right?
This summer's free market transactions are frequent and big-name stars gather. In the eyes of many people, superstars such as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh are irresistible temptations. Only Minnesota has never thrown away these superstars. Out of their olive branch, the wise McHale did not go to lobby big-name players to join, but made small repairs, not only did not destroy the original chemical reaction of the team, but also added new elements to the original chemical formula of the team , Let the team's strength have more changes.

In the free market, Corey Brewer, the hero of last season's playoffs, was traded away by many experts as McHale's biggest trade failure in the summer. In their opinion, Corey Brewer averaged 12.3 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds per game. Er is undoubtedly one of the contributors to the Timberwolves' ability to break into the playoffs last season. Trading Corey away really tastes like breaking his own arm.

In McHale's view, Corey Brewer did a lot for the team last season, but if the Timberwolves want to go further, they must make changes, and the first change is the striker position.

Love's footsteps are too slow. He is tall and strong, and his movement speed is not even as fast as Marc Gasol, who plays the center position. In the rotation of defense and offense, Love is bound to make mistakes. As a result, the Timberwolves There will be loopholes in the defense line, and choosing an excellent striker defender to top is the best choice.

Trevor Ariza's big contract with the Houston Rockets made it difficult for many teams to take a bite. Only the Timberwolves did not hesitate to initiate a trade plan with Houston, bringing Tieza to Minnesota.

Looking at the entire league, the Timberwolves are one of the few "rebuilding" teams. They still have a lot of room for salary. Their players are generally young and talented, and their contracts are also cheap. Sign Ariza's big contract Really don't need to think too much.

Without dazzling spotlights announcing the joining of giants, and without the attention of big cities, Minnesota is like an inconspicuous shell on the beach, waiting for the sunrise and sunset every day, and the ebb and flow of the tide.

People are excitedly talking about the future of the Heat's Big Three, looking forward to the three consecutive championships of the Los Angeles Lakers, waiting for the comeback of Boston on the east coast, "Queen Bee" Paul, "Warcraft" Howard, "German Chariot" Nowitzki... Superstars emerged one after another in the American basketball world, and they are all superstars who dominate the league!
Who cares about a rookie who just finished his rookie season?Who pays attention to a small city team that has just passed its prime?

Fans love to watch superstars soaring points, love to watch super teams, these are deeply understood by the league executives!

Since Michael Jordan retired, the league has been sparing no effort to promote the star-making movement, allowing brand-new faces to appear in the spotlight belonging to the stars, enjoying the feeling of much attention, and at the same time, they are also secretly promoting changes in the league.

The Big Three of the Celtics, Pau Gasol went to Los Angeles, Kidd returned to Dallas, the Big Three of the Heat... one by one, the alliance's secret operations were indispensable.

However, when people accumulate their expectations to the full, change all the TV programs, and switch to the game prepared by the league, they find that the game they are paying attention to is not the most attractive!

In Minnesota, in Atlanta, in Houston, on the Timberwolves' campaign route, there are more thrilling games, and their games are even more worth looking forward to!

Many people have a high evaluation of Wolf King Garnett. Fans who like it will naturally agree, and they will inevitably be confused if they don't like it.

Garnett's greatness does not lie in how perfect his statistics are, or how versatile his skills are, but that he has written a new chapter on a blank sheet of paper, a piece of his legendary road!
The Minnesota Timberwolves are the starting point of his legendary road and the place where he became famous!

If a brand new team wants to be attractive to players, especially a small city team, a glorious team history is essential!Boston on the east coast and San Antonio in Texas, the dazzling banner of the championship renders their charm unparalleled, and they are the holy places of basketball in the minds of many players.

The Charlotte Bobcats, who have nothing, are an excellent negative example. Almost no superstar is willing to join and tie their future to this small city.

Today, the chapter of Minnesota is being rewritten, a Chinese is rampaging there, using his unknown creativity to describe a different future!
