The older superstars of the NBA

Looking at the room full of people celebrating his birthday, Zhao Feiyang was moved for a moment.Although he had many teammates when he played in the CBA before, he was just a role player at that time, and he didn't have that many friends with strong relationships.

Although I will occasionally celebrate with my friends, it is really rare for the whole team to celebrate their birthday.

Leaving aside the different cultural atmospheres between the two sides, to a certain extent, the feelings between Chinese people are more reserved. In addition, CBA is more about people's sophistication, and the team doesn't care about these details. Naturally, such things rarely happen .

"Thank you all..."

Soon, everyone was playing and celebrating together, and the team management also joined in.Even head coach Phillip Saunders was given a piece of cake by the players.

No matter what happened before, at least at this moment, the atmosphere of the Timberwolves is very good, and the team is extremely harmonious.

Of course, the fun is the fun, and the celebration is the celebration. The Timberwolves did not cancel the day's training.

At noon, under the leadership of the head coach Philip Sanders, everyone trained for two hours, and then moved to the conference room.

There, the relevant departments of the Timberwolves team had already sent the collected image data.Regarding the performance of the Golden State Warriors this season, relevant departments have also made various analyzes and edited the performance of the Warriors' core players one by one for the team's coaching staff to analyze.

"The Warriors will be a formidable opponent... Their most threatening player is Stephen Curry. This young man's three-point shooting ability is too strong. It will be very difficult for us to limit him. …”

"In addition to this is Klay Thompson. His off-ball ability is very good, and he also made a lot of effort in the process of the Warriors winning the second place in the Western Conference. It can be said that he is the second player besides Stephen Curry. core......."

"For the inside of the team, we must also pay attention to the player Draymond Green. We can analyze it through the video. This guy has played a big role in the Warriors' system..."

Head coach Phyllis Sanders exhorted while analyzing.

After he finished speaking, the players were asked to express their opinions. Zhao Feiyang was undoubtedly the first to stand up.

"I came from the Warriors, I know how strong they are... Of course, this does not mean that we can't beat them and reduce turnovers, that's what we need to do... .”

"Stabilize the situation while reducing mistakes as much as possible. Only by maintaining this situation can we find their flaws and counterattack..."

"Leave Stephen Curry to me. At that time, he will be the one I want to guard. Don't rob me...Klay can let Kevin go, and Zach can too... ...the two of them will be able to put a certain limit on Klay...."

"For Draymond, his position in the Warriors is to do dirty work and tiring work. I think we can find ways to irritate him when necessary. It is best to let him be sent off. In this case, the Warriors There will definitely be problems with the system..."

Seeing that Zhao Feiyang took the lead in speaking, other players also took the initiative to speak up.

Everyone said what they said, and began to make various conjectures and strategic responses to the Golden State Warriors.In a lively discussion, the Timberwolves players ended their day.

In the next three days, the Timberwolves continued to formulate targeted tactics to ensure the intensity of training while also continuing to study the Warriors players.

A week is here, and the playoffs are finally here.

排名西部第七的明尼苏达森林狼队按照名次对阵排名西部第二的金州勇士队，主场则在勇士队的甲骨文球馆，赛制则是2-2-1-1-1。

game day.

The Timberwolves finally reached the playoffs again after 11 years. This is of course the most anticipated thing for the team management and fans.

Although the team traveled to Oakland to play an away game, the Timberwolves' home stadium, Target Center, also specially gathered fans together to watch the game under the big screen.

Even though they couldn't go to the scene, the atmosphere in the arena was still extremely warm.

What is more black and humorous is that the Target Center arena also ushered in the first full attendance rate of the season.Compared to other teams that are full, this time there is not even a team.

Inside Oracle Arena, here is another scene.

The Warriors finally won the second place in the Western Conference, and the team performed very well this season, which made the fans in the Bay Area look forward to it. Even if the championship still looks difficult, the fans in the Bay Area also hope that the team can With this good luck, he successfully reached the finals.

With such hope, fans in the Bay Area entered Oracle Arena to watch the game.

call out.

In the arena, the referee's whistle sounded, and the players on both sides began to make final preparations.

Before the official start of the game, Zhao Feiyang also walked to the team bench of the Warriors to greet his former teammates.

"Coach Steve."

"Zhao, welcome back!"

"Stephen, Clay, I've accomplished what we agreed upon......Dude, this time I will never let you take away the victory......"

"Really? Let's see who is stronger!"

Stephen Curry was just as happy as Klay Thompson.

When seeing Draymond Green, Zhao Feiyang's expression was obviously a bit colder.However, he still took the initiative to extend his hand, and Draymond Green was also relatively calm and high-fived with him.

"Draymond, play well! This season is your contract year. It's not easy for us players who are not valued to stay in the league...I believe you can get what you want, man.. …”

When Zhao Feiyang said these words, Draymond Green was immediately moved.

As a second-round pick, he was not favored at the beginning, and he finally got to this point. Not only did Zhao Feiyang not resent him because of the previous things, but he also showed understanding, which made Draymond Green feel kind The feeling of sympathy.

"Zhao, good luck to you too..."

The timer sounded, and the match between the two sides officially started.

As soon as it came up, the Timberwolves took the lead in getting the ball.

Zhao Feiyang advanced with the ball, and after halftime, he organized the team's offense at the top of the arc.

Zach LaVine came up from the wing and Zhao Feiyang transferred the ball to him.Zach LaVine rushed to the basket and passed to Andrew Wiggins in the corner after being double-teamed.

Andrew Wiggins holds the ball to meet Andre Iguodala with a three-pointer.

boom.

The basketball hits the backboard.

Seeing that the first goal failed to be scored, the basketball bounced out of the basket, and when Draymond Green was about to jump up to pick up the rebound, Zhao Feiyang suddenly jumped up from behind him, and he was just behind Draymond Green. De Green snatched the basketball one second before it touched it.

He took advantage of the opportunity to push in mid-air, and put the basketball into the basket.

Swish.

The ball is in.
