The older superstars of the NBA

Zhao Feiyang's performance of scoring 45 points after his comeback not only shocked the fans in Minneapolis, but also surprised the league at the same time.

ESPN also kept mentioning this matter in the program, and even CCTV specially played back the video highlights of Zhao Feiyang in this game during the prime time.

The back-to-back Minnesota Timberwolves look to be back on track once again.

After returning to the first game, the morale of the Timberwolves has indeed picked up. Zhao Feiyang is also quite active, taking the initiative to integrate into the team and train with everyone.

However, it was also during training that he discovered that Dwight Howard was absent again.

Although the team suspended Howard, they did not say that he was not allowed to participate in training.But he didn't come.

Zhao Feiyang also knew this guy's character, so he didn't call to urge him, but took the initiative to drive to Howard's home after the training.

After about an hour's drive, he finally came to the villa area where Howard lived. After searching for the address given by the security guard, Zhao Feiyang was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still intimidated by Howard's "proudness".

"Fuck!"

"Is this a mansion worth more than 800 million yuan?"

What came into view was a huge villa... no, it should be said to be a manor.Covering an area of ​​more than 3000 square meters, it is full of lush green plants at a glance, and as you walk in through the gate, you can see a large lawn, and there is a fountain near the gate.

"plz follow me."

The servant sent by Howard politely took Zhao Feiyang in.

The more he walked in, the more surprised Zhao Feiyang looked.

He is not short of money and can afford such a mansion, but he has no such plan.After all, I only have one person, and my girlfriend is only two people. It is really insecure to live in such a big place.

At this point, he doesn't need much right now.

After walking for a while, Zhao Feiyang finally came to the living room.Howard in the living room was playing a game, and he put down the handle when he saw Zhao Feiyang coming.

He stepped forward and gave Zhao Feiyang a hug, "Dude, I didn't expect you to come to see me...how is it? My mansion is not bad, right?"

"great."

"Of course I paid $800 million for five kitchens, three laundry rooms, 5 rooms, a huge garage for 3 cars and an indoor basketball in the back field......."

Howard patiently introduced Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang didn't think too much, his eyes were already attracted by other things unknowingly!

That's right, three or four blond girls were eating at the big dining table next to the living room.This is not the point, the point is that their clothes are very cool, except for a white shirt on the upper body, there is basically no hindrance.

"Fuck!"

Zhao Feiyang was secretly surprised.

At this time, Howard also noticed the look in his eyes, but Howard didn't care about all of this, and instead introduced it to Zhao Feiyang.

"Hey girls, look who this is? This is our superstar player..."

"Zhao, don't you want to get to know each other? Dude, they are amazing, you know what I mean... If you need to, don't leave today, we can relax together tonight... ..”

"You can pick any girl here. If none of them are your type, I can call more... How about it? Stay and enjoy..."

For Howard's kindness, Zhao Feiyang could only decline politely.

He pulled Howard aside and whispered to him, "Dwight, thank you for your hospitality. I admit that these girls are really great, but I already have a fiancee..."

"And this time, I didn't come here to talk to you about these things..."

Seeing that Zhao Feiyang became serious, Howard stopped making fun of him.He led Zhao Feiyang out of the living room, and started strolling in the garden behind.

"Zhao, tell me! Why did you come to me? It can't be because of training, right?"

Howard asked.

"Dude, I thought you forgot..."

"No, how could I forget about training? I just want to rest for a while, you know, I haven't been in a good state these few games..."

"I want to rest and get back to my previous state as soon as possible..."

Seeing Howard said so, Zhao Feiyang didn't go into it further.After all, he also knows that the other party's state is really not good recently, and training forcibly may not have any effect.

However, he still had to say something clearly.

"Dwight, I understand that you need time to rest... However, I still want to tell you that since you have chosen to come to the Timberwolves, I don't care about other times, whether it is vacation or offseason, But I hope you can train hard during the game day..."

"You and I are already 30-year-old players, there is not much time to waste, so I hope you can cheer up..."

"Our time should not be wasted on women. Real men will continue to cross mountains and seas to break through their limits. That's what we should do..."

"I need a championship! I know you need it too. You don't want people outside to say 'that poor guy Dwight doesn't even have a championship, what kind of superstar is he?' right?"

"So we have to fight side by side. I think you and I, together with the team's current lineup, have every chance to hit the finals..."

Howard didn't respond this time, but his face was a little gloomy.

Zhao Feiyang didn't know whether he was angry or what, so he didn't say anything more, he made an excuse and planned to leave.

When he was about to go out, Howard finally had a reaction. He chased him out and greeted Zhao Feiyang while saying to him, "Zhao, don't worry! I will come to train!"

"Give me a little more time and I'll be back!"

Hearing Howard's answer, Zhao Feiyang didn't feel warm in his heart.

It was not the first time Howard said such a seemingly promised answer, and he hoped that this time would be the last time. However, according to Master Huo's always loose character, he didn't know whether this time was the truth or a whim.

After returning to the team, Zhao Feiyang continued to train with his teammates.

Soon, the second game after the comeback will come.

Because Dwight Howard is still suspended, he did not appear on the team's bench in a suit.

No one is surprised by this.

This time the Timberwolves went to Chicago to fight away, and their opponent was the Bulls.

The Bulls had a good record last season, finishing third in the Eastern Conference and beating their opponents in the first round of the playoffs to advance.

It's a pity that in the semifinals, they encountered the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James. The two sides fought in 6 games. In the end, the Bulls fell in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers with a score of 2 to 4.

Compared with the previous seasons, the Bulls have changed a lot in the last two seasons.

First of all, the team's super core Derrick Rose was gradually abandoned. The Bulls were originally built on him. Unfortunately, his injuries continued to hit, affecting the hearts of the management and fans time and time again.

The Bulls finally couldn't wait any longer and chose to support the team's rookie Jimmy Butler.

The latter's performance is indeed not bad. Last season, he averaged 20+ points per game, and in the playoffs, he averaged 22.9 points per game.

It can be said that his performance is one of the key factors for the Bulls to advance.

Because of this, the original voices that did not want the Bulls to regard Butler as the core gradually dissipated, and even many fans who supported him appeared in Chicago.

As for Rose, who is constantly injured, the patience of the Bulls management is running out.Although the management has not made any public remarks about trading him, in fact, there is no shortage of such voices in Chicago.

In particular, his annual salary of up to 2000 million is also a lot of pressure on the Bulls.

In the eyes of many people, this contract has become one of the biggest junk contracts in the league, and has even interfered with the Bulls' reinforcement and operation.

United Center Arena.

Players from both sides shook hands before the game started.

Zhao Feiyang took the initiative to hug and high-five his former opponent Rose.

Once upon a time, Derrick Rose was the most prestigious super guard in the league. At that time, he was the youngest regular season mvp, and countless people placed high hopes on him.

But now, he has fallen from the peak to the trough.

"Hey Derek, great to see you back from injury!"

"Man, you're a great opponent."

Zhao Feiyang said to Ross.

Ross also patted Zhao Feiyang, and responded with emotion, "I can't think of it, it's only been two seasons, you guys have grown to such a point..."

"Zhao, if you had come to the Bulls, maybe we would have been the champions of the Eastern Conference now..."

"Who knows? Maybe! It's a pity that what has happened cannot be changed..."

The two smiled at each other.

As opponents, they have a feeling of sympathy for each other.

One is that the wunderkind suddenly fell into a trough, and the other was that it gradually climbed up from the trough at the end of his career.

Both of them have experienced countless cold eyes and ridicule. It is hard to say who has suffered more obstacles, but at this time, they have both grown up from such a trough, and they have become quite different from before.

beep.

The timer sounded and the game officially started.

When the team coach Norman Thomas arranged the lineup, Zhao Feiyang specifically asked to mark Jimmy Butler.

"Coach, I heard that guy is hard, I want to try... It's fun to challenge yourself..."

Norman Thomas was still a little worried.

"Your injury is just right, are you sure?"

Zhao Feiyang smiled lightly.

"Of course, the last game has proved that my injury is completely fine! This time, I have to help the team win our second consecutive victory..."
