The older superstars of the NBA

Zhao Feiyang's successive goals narrowed the score gap, and temporarily dispelled the Thunder team's plan to replace Russell Westbrook.

In order to ensure that the team stabilized the situation and won the game smoothly, the "Thunder Shuangjun" was still on the court and did not enter the bench to rest.

However, at the end of the last quarter, the Thunder also adopted a different defensive strategy.

For Zhao Feiyang, who has a strong breakthrough ability, the Thunder team specially adopted double-team measures. Russell Westbrook and teammate Andre Robertson went up to restrict Zhao Feiyang.

With the last 2 minutes and 50 seconds left before the end of the game, the point difference between the two sides remained at 8 points.

It's the Timberwolves' turn to attack.

Zhao Feiyang planned to hold the ball for halftime and look for opportunities to break through, but he had just passed the halfway line when Russell Westbrook and Andre Robertson double-teamed.

The sudden double-teaming made Zhao Feiyang keep dodging. He planned to dribble quickly to pass the opponent, but the two in front of him are very experienced in defense, so they posted them together, leaving Zhao Feiyang with no loopholes to pass them. .

Generally speaking, in this case, teammates will come up to cover and respond.

At least that's the case with the Lakers and Warriors.

However, this time, Zhao Feiyang couldn't wait for his teammates to respond.

Snapped.

Finally, the basketball in his hand was slapped off by Russell Westbrook.

After the referee's whistle sounded, Zhao Feiyang cast doubtful eyes on the other teammates, but what was waiting for him was a group of casual people.

The teammates on the field gave him a feeling of watching the excitement. No one of them seemed to care about winning or losing. Not only did they not respond, they didn't even mark the performance of the Thunder players, and some even stood under the basket and told jokes with their opponents.

How does this look like a team?

Zhao Feiyang suddenly felt a little disappointed. He played so hard to win, but his teammates had no intention of fighting together.

This made him feel like what could he do with wasting his energy?

The ball is still in the hands of the Timberwolves.

Snapped.

Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to stand on the sideline and hand out the ball. After the basketball was in the hands of his teammates, he never looked at the court again.

"Coach Philip, I need to rest."

Zhao Feiyang called out to the head coach on the sidelines.

Philip Sanders was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Feiyang's attitude to change so much.However, he could also see that Zhao Feiyang was very unhappy.

"Zhao, hold on a little longer..."

"No, I need a break, right now...."

Zhao Feiyang responded strongly.

Coach Philip Sanders had no choice but to signal to the referee to make a substitution.

At the same time, the possession of the ball on the field was changed several times. Without Zhao Feiyang's participation, the basketball was quickly thrown by the Timberwolves players.

boom.

Not surprisingly, the basketball hit the backboard and bounced out.

call out.

Just as the Thunder grabbed the rebound, the Timberwolves called a timeout.

In the exclamation of all the fans, Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to walk off the field and sit on the bench.This scene also made many fans on the sidelines shake their heads and sigh, and even the Thunder didn't understand it.

Kevin. Martin continued to replace up.

There is not much time left in the game, and the Timberwolves no longer have any possibility of turning defeat into victory.

beep.

The timer stops and the game is over.

The two sides scored 113 to 123.

The Timberwolves lost by 10 points.

Immediately after the end, Zhao Feiyang got up alone and walked towards the player tunnel.The rest of the teammates reacted the same as before, still chatting and laughing and leaving in droves, the loss of the game didn't seem to affect their mood at all.

Even head coach Phillip Saunders.

"Hey guys, let's have a drink tonight!"

"This is a great idea, where do you guys want to go? Recently I found another nice place....we can go and let go after a long night....anyone want to join of?"

"I go."

"Count me in......"

"And I......"

The players chatted in a hurry, and the atmosphere seemed extremely lively.

If people who don't know the inside story see this scene, they will think it is a performance of the team's unity!It might also be mistaken for a very cohesive team.

After entering the locker room, the players were still discussing about going to relax tonight. Zhao Feiyang was very indifferent and left the locker room without talking to anyone.

Seeing this, the other players also somewhat saw that something was wrong with him.

Some teammates also asked aloud, "Should we call Zhao Ye? He has just arrived and seems to need to integrate into the team. I think he should accept..."

However, Kevin. Martin and Maurice Williams do not agree with this statement.

"Forget it! Don't call that guy.......He just wants to win, not a self-destructive person like us......"

"That's right. He is not the same as us. We just want to play well and treat it as a job....He is the one who fights for the championship..."

The cynicism of the two caused a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Of course, there are also players who didn't laugh, such as Zach LaVine and Ricky Rubio. However, considering the harmonious atmosphere within the team, they did not make any rebuttals.

Zhao Feiyang's first match with the Timberwolves was declared a defeat, which undoubtedly disappointed many Huaxia fans watching the live broadcast.

They left messages on Zhao Feiyang's personal social account one after another, hoping that he could find a way to leave the Timberwolves.

"Whether the Warriors can win the championship or not, at least on the surface they still look like a serious team... The Timberwolves are too bad, bad management, bad teammates, I don't know Zhao Feiyang What are you doing wasting your career on a team like this?"

"Zhao Feiyang was also cheated! Who would have thought that the Warriors would have such a situation halfway? Had he known this earlier, Zhao Feiyang would not have been willing to join the Warriors..."

"Scored 30 points in the first game, this performance is really not bad....The Timberwolves dragged him down..."

"Not to mention other things, Andrew Wiggins is so talented, why did he start playing healthy basketball when he arrived at the Timberwolves? This guy is the number one pick among rookies. Although he himself is not very motivated, I don't believe him. No desire to win at all...."

Although Zhao Feiyang was very disappointed with the loss in the first show, he still did not choose to give up the team.

From the next day, he entered the training hall to practice hard in the early morning. Not only that, he also found Philip Saunders, the head coach and general manager, in person after the training.

"Coach, I have something to say."

Zhao Feiyang pushed open the door of Philip Sanders' office, "I hope the team can adjust the lineup and try their best to win every game and hit the playoffs."

"If you or the management do not agree, then I have nothing to say, I hope to apply for a trade to leave the team...or a buyout..."
