The older superstars of the NBA

On the court, the Charlotte Hornets attacked with the ball. After the ball advanced to half court, Hornets core Kemba Walker used the pick-and-roll cover to rush to the basket. After being double-teamed, he quickly transferred the ball to teammate Al Jay. Ferson hands.

Jefferson raided the basket and forced a shot, and the basketball hit the backboard.

Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng took off the rebound, and after landing, he glanced at the field and immediately threw the ball long pass after seeing Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang, who got the ball, dribbled towards the half court. After he crossed the half court, Walker chased him and tried to block.

The two met in mid-air, and Zhao Feiyang pushed Walker away with his body, but the latter's hand couldn't touch Zhao Feiyang's basketball at all.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Feiyang chose to throw the basketball with his left hand.

boom.

The ball is in.

The basketball hit the backboard and fell into the basket smoothly.

There was cheers at the scene.

At this time, the game has entered the second quarter, and the point difference between the two sides has gradually widened.

The Timberwolves maintained their lead under the leadership of Zhao Feiyang, while the Hornets continued to have problems. The tacit understanding between the players was not too much, and they all wanted to play brilliant statistics. As the leader of the team, Kemba Walker also supported him. You can't stay on the stage, and you can't convince everyone at the critical moment.

54:41.

13 points difference.

Before the end of the first half with 3 minutes and 04 seconds left, this was the difference between the two sides.

call out.

The Hornets made a substitution.

Walker was replaced, and Jeremy Lin replaced him.

This is also Jeremy Lin's first appearance in this game.

When he stepped onto the court, there was no cheering at the scene.

Compared with Zhao Feiyang's popularity based on his strength, Jeremy Lin's Chinese identity does not help him gain more support in a place like Minneapolis, where there are not many Asians.

The Hornets serve.

Jeremy Lin pushed forward with the ball, this time Zhao Feiyang directly signaled to his teammate Zach LaVine to switch defenses.

"Zach, let me do it!"

"it is good."

Lavin was very obedient and immediately exchanged with Zhao Feiyang.

After Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball across halftime, Zhao Feiyang had been waiting at the top of the arc for a long time.When the two sides met each other, Jeremy Lin was not in a hurry to play singles, but signaled his teammates to pick and roll to cover.

Compared with one-on-one singles, he is better at cooperating with teammates in pick-and-rolls.

Soon, a teammate came up from the flank to help Jeremy Lin fend off Zhao Feiyang.Although Zhao Feiyang had been prepared, but the next second, he was still behind Jeremy Lin due to the other party's interference.

Jeremy Lin's reaction is extremely fast. In the past, his speed and explosive power were top-notch among the league's new generation of guards. Now the injury has affected him too much. Although he can't maintain the peak level he used to be, it is still not a problem to explode once in a while. .

As soon as Zhao Feiyang was blocked, Jeremy Lin rushed to the basket from the right side.

LaVine, who switched defenses, tried to cover Jeremy Lin. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Jeremy Lin made a shift dribble and passed between him and his pick-and-roll teammates.

After successfully avoiding LaVine's supplementary defense, Jeremy Lin went to the basket in two or three steps. When encountering a big Timberwolves player in the penalty area, Jeremy Lin hit the board with a lever and sent the ball accurately into the basket.

Snapped.

The ball is in.

Jeremy Lin's singles won the applause of other Hornets players. On the bench off the field, even Walker, the core of the team, stood up and applauded.

"Well... not bad!"

"If he has the speed of his peak period, he really deserves to be a man who has played the performance of 'Linsanity'......"

Zhao Feiyang sighed.

It was the Timberwolves' turn to counterattack.

Zach LaVine advanced with the ball and was targeted by the Hornets before halftime.Zhao Feiyang went up to meet, and LaVine gave the ball to him with a ground pass.

Zhao Feiyang dribbled the ball across half court and was about to make a shot from the three-point line when Jeremy Lin stretched out his hand to defend him.

Seeing that the opponent's hand almost touched the basketball in his hand, Zhao Feiyang made a feint.

The moment Jeremy Lin was stunned, Zhao Feiyang suddenly changed direction from the right side, Jeremy Lin's body center of gravity was a little unstable, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Feiyang suddenly pulled the ball back with his right hand.

In the next second, Jeremy Lin couldn't stand still, and his left foot slipped and fell out.

The scene exclaimed.

Zhao Feiyang raised the basketball and made a decisive three-point shot.

Swish.

The basketball falls firmly into the hoop.

The one-on-one between the two has its advantages and disadvantages, but Zhao Feiyang's move that almost knocked Jeremy Lin down is undoubtedly more powerful.

After scoring, Jeremy Lin was not angry, but showed a surprised expression.

Zhao Feiyang looked at him, and they smiled at each other.

Soon the first half will end.

After the second half came, the situation on the field didn't change much. The Timberwolves still maintained the lead. Even if Zhao Feiyang was replaced, the team didn't collapse.

The Hornets tried to chase, especially in the second half when Jeremy Lin, Walker and others worked together to hit a small climax.

It's a pity that the young people of the Timberwolves are not inferior to them, especially the scoring performance of LaVine and Wiggins, which also made many Timberwolves fans shine.

beep.

The two sides ended the game 103 to 93.

The Minnesota Timberwolves won their third consecutive victory after the second consecutive victory.

After the game, the players from both sides shook hands and hugged. When Zhao Feiyang walked towards the player tunnel after greetings, he thought of Dwight Howard who was absent again.

"As soon as this game is over the guy's suspension is over...the next game he's finally back on the team..."

"Now is the time to run in. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, but be afraid of hiding the problem... In short, it doesn't matter what happens in the regular season. Once it comes to the playoffs, it will be too late..."

With the team's successive victories, Minneapolis fans seem to have forgotten that there is another star of their own who was suspended.

Not only did the local news media not mention it, even the Timberwolves players didn't take it seriously.

Soon, the next training day will come.

This morning, the Timberwolves players arrived at the training hall on time for training.The hard-working players like Zhao Feiyang, LaVine and Adrian had already trained for more than an hour before everyone arrived.

"Good morning."

"Big boys..."

Coach Norman Thomas came wearing a tracksuit, holding a tactical board and a thermos in his hand.

He seemed in a good mood, and rarely greeted the players.

"The training has officially started, is there anyone else who hasn't arrived yet?"

"I'm going to call the roll..."

Coach Norman picked up the list and asked.

He didn't think much of it at first, but just said something in passing.Unexpectedly, someone reminded me soon, "Coach, Dwight hasn't come yet..."

"Ok?"

Coach Norman put down the list and glanced at the field.

Sure enough, he found Howard absent from the crowd.Not only that, he found that only Howard was absent from the entire team.

"What is this guy doing again?"

"Yesterday I sent a text message to him and he said he would come to train early..."

Coach Norman looked helpless, so he had to let the players start training first, while he stood there and called Howard himself.

"Beep...beep...Hey, I'm Dwight Howard, I'm busy now, what do you want? It's time for my voicemail..."

After playing several times in a row, all coach Norman heard was a reminder that he was busy.

This made the smile on his face suddenly disappear, and the good mood that could have lasted for a day suddenly sank.

"Fake!"

"What the hell does this guy want? If he doesn't want to come, you can just tell me... I've coached so many people, and I've never seen a guy who is not punctual...."

The more Coach Norman thought about it, the more angry he became. In a fit of rage, he called other members of the teaching assistant team and asked them to take out their mobile phones and call Howard one after another.

So, a group of people stood there trying to find a way to contact Howard.

Some called him, and some called his agent. In short, all kinds of methods were used, but he still could not be contacted.

At the same time, in a rather luxurious private club, Master Huo, who was suspended from competitions, was just finishing his last night's campaign.

The curtains of the room were not open, and the room was extremely dimly lit.

On the oversized and soft wooden bed, Howard slept in the middle position, and beside him, there were three blonde girls and a sexy black girl.

The four girls were also in a state of deep sleep. When Howard's cell phone rang several times, the girl who slept on the outermost side didn't even open her eyes, she groped for the cell phone from under the pillow and threw it out of the room.

Snapped.

After the sound of the phone breaking, the whole world seemed to be quiet!

Howard's absence undoubtedly made head coach Norman Thomas extremely unhappy. However, considering the attitude of the team's management, he decided to hide it for the time being and did not tell the general manager of the team, Sam Thomas, about it after training. Mitchell.

However, Coach Norman's kindness did not receive any response. Howard did not have any text messages or phone calls afterwards, nor did he communicate with anyone on the team.

Even if Zhao Feiyang called many times, there was no way to get his reply.

Seeing that another game day is coming, the Timberwolves team will fly away to Brooklyn to participate in the game against the Nets.

An hour before the team's departure, everyone from Zhao Feiyang to Kevin Martin kept calling and sending messages to Howard.

But they worked hard for a long time to no avail.

Until 10 minutes before departure, Howard still did not show up at the airport.

In this regard, not only Zhao Feiyang and coach Norman were disappointed, but other players on the team also felt incomprehensible to this so-called "head star".

The absence of training can be concealed, but the absence of games can't be concealed.

Soon, the Timberwolves management learned about this, and the general manager of the team, Sam Mitchell, knew that Howard hadn't come to the team for several days, so he immediately contacted the opponent's agent.

As a result, the opponent's agent also said that he had lost contact with Howard.

This time, the news of Howard's disconnection from the team quickly spread, and the small media in Minneapolis liked such gossip news so much, they rushed to add fuel to the news and report it as soon as possible.

"Dwight forced the Palace team management to try to get the team to trade himself!"

"The former super center refused to play for the Timberwolves? Can this deal of the Timberwolves be called the most loss-making operation in the past ten years?"

"Dwight lost contact with the Timberwolves management! Insiders revealed: He didn't want to stay here for a long time..."

All of a sudden, countless scandals flooded the sky.
