The older superstars of the NBA

The news that Zhao Feiyang beat the Golden State Warriors and led the Minnesota Timberwolves to another victory quickly spread throughout the league.

It's nothing to fans in other cities, but for fans in Minneapolis and the Bay Area, this news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

It's something that most people don't even think about, and don't even dare to think about.

Everyone knows that what Zhao Feiyang leads is just a small team, and such a small team doesn't have much fighting power at all, and basically all the victories are based on him alone.

Compared with the overall strength of the Warriors, which is stronger and more balanced, the Minnesota Timberwolves are too weak.

But it happened that such a weak team defeated the Warriors, even if it was only a narrow victory, it was shocking enough for the fans.

On the night of the game, countless Bay Area fans left messages on the Warriors' official website.

"Wonderful trade! Look at what kind of powerful people the Warriors management has produced, and traded away such an excellent guard..."

"I think the Warriors lineup is the strongest in the league, yes, it is the strongest in the league... There is no doubt that they don't need any help and support at all. After all, they can do it for a little luxury tax. Sending away such a gifted person..."

"The Warriors had better win the championship this season, otherwise, it would be your dereliction of duty not to fire some guys in the management......"

Bay Area fans were buzzing.

Minneapolis fans have a completely different style of painting.

They left a message on the official website of the Timberwolves.

"Who made this deal? They found such an excellent player for us......"

"I used to think that the Timberwolves had no chance of making the playoffs, and they would never make it again. ... Zhao's appearance made me deny such thoughts. This guy must be a good team. leader......."

"Thanks to the stupidity of the Warriors, we have hope...."

Regarding the reactions of the fans in these two cities, the Huaxia fans were more realistic.They are on the other side of the ocean, so of course they can't understand the sense of belonging to the city, but this does not affect their support for Zhao Feiyang.

"Good job! Killing my former boss with my own hands is definitely the most perfect revenge..."

"The next step is to see what the Timberwolves can do... If they can overwhelm the Warriors in the playoffs, it will be really awesome... Of course, the premise is that they have Let's talk about entering the playoffs..."

"Zhao Feiyang is still not worth it. If he goes to another team, maybe he can win another championship this season...The Timberwolves may have a chance to reach the playoffs, but it is absolutely impossible to hit the finals …”

The public opinion of the outside world certainly has an influence on Zhao Feiyang.

However, he didn't pay much attention to these things.After winning this game, he devoted himself to the follow-up games.

As a result, the team has become more cohesive.

In the next three games, the Timberwolves successfully won their opponents and raised their ranking by one again.

At the same time, the Timberwolves, which seem to have a positive and harmonious team atmosphere, are actually undercurrents.Zhao Feiyang's performance was too impressive, causing the team to put everything on Zhao Feiyang, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Maurice Williams and Kevin Martin.

Although the two had ideas before, they only cooperated passively, but this time, the two chose to ask for leave and not to fight in response.

In response to this situation, the Timberwolves executives also held regular meetings to discuss.

"Kevin is a very stable guy. His existence is very important to us, so we can communicate with him..."

"Why is Morris not convinced? His condition is getting worse and worse. If we didn't take him in, who would want him?"

"These two are our old players. No matter what happens, we should communicate with them... If the team does not have them, the strength will only be worse than before..."

The executives have only one idea about this matter, and that is to try their best to communicate with the two and let them return to the team to continue participating in the game.

However, Phillip Saunders, the head coach, general manager and small boss, has a different view on the rhetoric of the top executives.

"The two of them have contributed to the team, but since Zhao came to the team, these two people have always caused various situations... I have to say that they have become the core of the team. Hidden danger..."

"I think we should now fully support Zhao to lead the team to the playoffs. These two are of little value to the team at this stage, and their attitude has already explained everything. Therefore, I suggest that the team trade them... ...."

"Only Zhao can solve the problems of the Timberwolves, so for him, everyone else can be thrown away. …"

This attitude of Phyllis Sanders really surprised the senior officials.

In the past, he would never express his position like this. After all, it is not easy to support a certain player with a clear attitude.

But now that he has done so, it proves that he has made up his mind.

"Now let's vote by show of hands!"

"The minority obeys the majority...."

Team owner Taylor is not that interested in basketball, just out of face for Phyllis Sanders.Therefore, the other high-level officials did not say anything, and everyone raised their hands to vote one after another.

Soon, after statistics, one-third of the executives did not want to trade, while the other two-thirds of the executives supported Philip Sanders' trade decision.

"it is good."

"Then contact other teams as soon as possible!"

As soon as the high-level decision was made, the relevant departments of the team acted quickly.So, it didn't take long for news about the deal between the two to appear on the news.

In order to show his attitude, coach Philip Sanders specially spoke in front of the reporters when he held a press conference.

"Yes, we're going to trade Morris and Kevin...Of course, they're great players, but right now they're not a good fit for the team, no one wants that to happen, but it's happened......."

"The leader of the team is Zhao. Under his leadership, we are undergoing great changes...no one can destroy it, and no one can stop it...we will definitely rush into The playoffs...”

"Thanks to Morris and Kevin for their contributions to the team...."

Coach Philip Sanders didn't say it very directly, but what he said actually proved that Zhao Feiyang was involved in the trade between the two.

Reminiscent of the various rumors outside, such a transaction is undoubtedly the greatest sincerity of the Timberwolves.

So, for a while, Zhao Feiyang became the most popular player of the Timberwolves and the hope of the Minneapolis fans.
