The older superstars of the NBA

It is extremely important for Zhao Feiyang to win the first victory after the lineup adjustment.

This game not only gave the fans a little hope, but also gave the Timberwolves management some ideas.

Although the Timberwolves management doesn't care about being bad, as long as the record can be improved without increasing the team's cost, the management is also happy to see it.

After all, as soon as the record is good, the attendance rate will soar, and the team's profits will naturally increase.

Soon the second game will come.

This time the Timberwolves started their road trip and took a plane to the New York Knicks.New York is a big city, and playing here is definitely a treat.

Perhaps the team will not give too high a salary, but there are more opportunities and higher exposure here.As long as the results are achieved, sponsors will flock to them, and the money earned from other places will definitely not be less than wages.

Madison Square Garden Arena.

This is the home of the Knicks and one of the most popular arenas in the league.

Without him, it's just because the Knicks are rich, and a place like New York is very expensive. If it is changed to China, it is basically equivalent to China's Shanghai.

However, the Knicks' record in recent seasons has not been good enough. The core of the team, Carmelo Anthony, has superb personal skills, but he is not suitable to lead the team as the boss of the team.

His career experience also proves this.

To some extent, he is not an "overly broad-minded" leader player, which can be reflected in Jeremy Lin's incident.

For Carmelo Anthony, being the boss of the team is very important. Even if the team wants to win, it must win under his leadership.

Otherwise, anyone who steals his limelight will arouse his "hostility".

The record is not good enough, Carmelo Anthony's personal performance is still very good, as one of the best forward players in the league, his scoring ability has never been in doubt.

The suspense of this game is only in the first half.

In the first half, the Timberwolves led by Zhao Feiyang still struggled, especially in the forward position.

The Timberwolves tried to get Andrew Wiggins to limit Carmelo Anthony at first, but after less than a quarter, head coach Phillip Saunders found this idea a little unrealistic.

Andrew Wiggins has no shortage of talent, but he lacks fighting spirit.

Facing Carmelo Anthony with comprehensive skills, Andrew Wiggins has no plans to defend hard at all, and basically only restricts his shots in the early stage. Once Carmelo Anthony gets up and fights hard, Andrew Wiggins will Will immediately back down to protect the body.

As a result, the Timberwolves had to replace Thaddeus Young to mark Carmelo Anthony.

Although the effect is relatively limited, it can be combined with the double-team strategy inside, which makes Carmelo Anthony's offensive not as fierce as before.

After solving this firepower point, there are no big problems in other positions.

The chaos of the Knicks is even worse than that of the Timberwolves before, and it is commonplace for team guards to fight for the ball alone.

Because of this, after the second half, Zhao Feiyang seized the Knicks' weakness and began to lead the team to open the score.

Of course, before the process began, he privately asked coach Philip Saunders to replace Kevin Martin and Maurice Williams.

These two people will always have a mismatch on the field, especially during some fast breaks, they will also put on an attitude of "defensive eyes", which is simply unacceptable to Zhao Feiyang.

In order not to let these two deliberately delay, Zhao Feiyang also decided to abandon them as part of the team building.

After all, compared to convincing them, it is undoubtedly simpler and more convenient to directly exclude them from the core lineup.

Everyone's interests are different, Zhao Feiyang really didn't have the energy and time to persuade them, and he didn't think he could change their minds.

Without the constraints of others, Zhao Feiyang played the strongest performance since joining the Timberwolves.

下半场他打了17分钟，一个人砍下25分7次助攻，加上上半场时间出场的13分钟，他一共拿下了39分11次助攻7个篮板的数据。

Such data is higher than that of the Knicks' best Carmelo Anthony.

It also successfully helped the team open the situation, and finally won the opponent by 9 points.

In addition to him, Zach LaVine played 23 minutes and scored 14 points and 10 assists. Although Andrew Wiggins has been paddling, he also scored 17 points and 7 rebounds.

After the Timberwolves won at home, they won their second victory on the road.

Zhao Feiyang's performance undoubtedly once again became the focus of Minneapolis fans.

At the same time, the Golden State Warriors finally ushered in the comeback of Stephen Curry.

After Zhao Feiyang was traded away by the Warriors, their record did not improve at all. The team kept losing and only occasionally won one or two opponents at the bottom.

In this case, Stephen Curry can only come back early, stand up and lead the team to save the defeat before the injury has fully recovered.

It's a pity that he only played 10 minutes in the first game of his comeback. Coach Steve Kerr was afraid that his injury would get worse, so he didn't let him spend too much energy on the court.

These 10 minutes are obviously not enough for the Warriors.

Therefore, the Warriors lost the game again without exception.

After this game, the Warriors ranked lower and lower.The former top spot in the Western Conference has long since ceased to exist. In so many losing games, they have fallen to the fourth position in the Western Conference.

Although there are still a lot of wins, if you can't achieve a counterattack in the second half, it is basically impossible to rush to the No. [-] in the Western Conference again.

Once the team lost, the fans in the Bay Area stopped doing it. At first, many Chinese fans were dissatisfied with Zhao Feiyang's trade, but now they are extremely disappointed with the performance of the Warriors.

Especially in the comparison of the Timberwolves' successive wins, it seems that the Warriors can't find anyone who can really take the lead except Stephen Curry.

"God! Look at what those idiots have done? Is it really right to trade Zhao in order to save money? His value is too much more than 1000 million..."

"Teams like the Timberwolves can win consecutive victories. The lineup was so chaotic before, but now they are gradually showing a little hope... If the Warriors keep him, their record will never be what it is now. ..."

"I think it's good for him to go, staying in the Warriors will only waste his youth... If he is really capable, maybe he can eventually lead the Timberwolves to the playoffs, maybe At that time, they will still be a hindrance to the Warriors...."
