The older superstars of the NBA

Although not all Timberwolves players pleaded for Dwight Howard, Zhao Feiyang, Kevin Martin and other main players appeared on the field, and the cards needed were enough.

Subsequently, the general manager of the team, Sam Mitchell, also reported the news truthfully.

The team's top management also held another meeting on this matter.

"So now we have to make a choice, whether to buy out Dwight or keep him... The team has communicated with many clubs, and they are not willing to accept Dwight's poison contract. If it is broken, it can almost be said that no club will be willing to trade with us..."

"But if we buy out, we will lose a lot of money... plus an insider with good ability but a problematic attitude, and, once Dwight leaves, our insider still needs to find a strong substitute member. …”

"Otherwise, once we get to the Western Conference finals, the inside problem will become our culprit..."

General manager Sam Mitchell was analyzing the meeting for a while.

He handed over the information of each department of the team to the boss and shareholders for viewing, and even told shareholders about the efforts made by each department on the exchange.

Also inform the players one by one about howard they want to keep.

After such a wave of explanations, the shareholders fell into silence.

They are businessmen, and businessmen care about profits.Judging from the current situation, trading Howard obviously cannot make them more profitable, even for long-term development, they will suffer a loss.

Therefore, this deal is undoubtedly not a good deal.

"If this is the case, I am in favor of keeping Dwight. Even if he is not good enough, we can wait until the end of the season before trading him..."

"I'm also in favor of staying."

"Me too. If he continues to indulge himself in the future, we can consider the corresponding punishment... But for now, let's see his performance..."

Shareholders have come forward one after another.

Most people expressed their support, even the team owner Taylor.

Thus, the meeting successfully passed the decision to leave Howard.

Howard was overjoyed when the news reached Howard.Howard was also extremely moved after learning that Zhao Feiyang and his group had come forward to intercede for him.

He rarely took the initiative to invite his teammates to his mansion, including the team's management and senior management.

Only this time, there was no blonde.

With Howard's official return, the Timberwolves' inside problems have also been resolved.After experiencing a series of situations at the beginning of the season, they seem to be gradually on the right track.

After six consecutive games, the Timberwolves won.Compared with the previous difficulties, this wave of six consecutive victories can be said to be quite smooth, and the team completed it smoothly with almost no effort.

Howard also performed extremely well in these six games. He not only grabbed 10+ rebounds per game, but also averaged 16+ points per game.

Although this is inseparable from Zhao Feiyang's cooperation with him in the pick-and-roll, it has to be said that Howard, who has never helped others in the pick-and-roll before, can take the initiative is really a big change.

After winning six consecutive victories, the Timberwolves ranked fourth in the Western Conference.

At this time, the teams ahead of them are the Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, and Oklahoma City Thunder.

Coincidentally, in the next two games, the Timberwolves encountered the second-ranked Spurs and the third-ranked Thunder.

When facing the second-ranked Spurs, the Timberwolves played away.

In this battle, Zhao Feiyang played the whole game. He scored 41 points alone, and also sent 6 assists and 3 rebounds.Howard played 36 minutes, scored 23 points and 13 rebounds, plus 3 blocked shots.

The strong performance of the two helped the Timberwolves win.

When facing the third-ranked Thunder, the Timberwolves also played away.

This time, Zhao Feiyang played for 38 minutes. He scored 39 points and sent 8 assists and 3 steals by himself.

Howard was very strong in this game. He blocked opponents one after another under the basket, and for a while, the Thunder had no power to fight back.

Not only that, on the offensive end, he and Adrian cooperated tacitly, and the two continued to work together to put pressure on each other.

最终，霍华德拿到20分10篮板5次盖帽的数据，阿德里安则打出11分7篮板的成绩。

On the side of the Thunder, the Thunder's youngsters Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook also performed very well, and they scored 63 points together.

Unfortunately, except for them, everyone else's performance is relatively average.

In the end, the victory of the game was won by the Timberwolves.

After defeating these two teams, the Timberwolves played seven more games. Their record in these seven games was quite impressive. They won all of them without losing anything unusual. It can be said that they have beaten all opponents in the West.

Except for the Golden State Warriors who can pose a threat to them, other teams seem to be unable to suppress them anymore.

And the record of continuous victories finally allowed them to rush to the second position in the West in one fell swoop and gradually stabilized.

This also gave Timberwolves fans finally hope.

The outside world has also begun to speculate about this performance of the Timberwolves.In particular, some celebrities and commentators began to evaluate the possible performance of the Timberwolves in the playoffs.

"Not surprisingly, the Timberwolves should be able to make it to the second round!"

"No, they are still underestimated in the second round! If they can continue to be stable, then the Western Conference finals are entirely possible."

"At present, it seems that the Warriors are the biggest threat to them. Now the Warriors have won more games than them. I don't know if there will be any changes in the future..."

As the schedule continues to go backwards, two-thirds of the NBA regular season has gradually passed.

At this time, the results of each club are basically fixed, and the rankings will not change much.

The top four teams in the Western Conference are the Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder.

The top four teams in the Eastern Conference are the Cleveland Cavaliers, Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat, and Atlanta Hawks.

It looks like an East/West playoff pattern has emerged.

According to the practice of previous years, if there is no accident, these teams will basically hit the Eastern and Western finals!

And the final championship has a high probability of being one of these teams!

However, at this stage, in addition to the record of each club that attracts fans' attention, what attracts the most attention from the outside world is the annual All-Star Game.

This time, the NBA officially opened the voting session early.
