The older superstars of the NBA

"Oh guys, we're playing against the Denver Nuggets tonight...they're fifth from the bottom, they're not a threat to us..."

"But this game still can't be careless, we must maintain the winning streak and not relax..."

In the locker room, head coach Norman Thomas was exhorting the precautions of the game.

Because the opponent is not strong, the team is basically sure, so the players are relatively relaxed, and the atmosphere in the entire locker room is also relatively active.

Zhao Feiyang and Zach LaVine, who were sitting in the middle, were also chatting non-stop. Even though their voices were not loud, such behavior was discovered by the head coach Norman.

"Hey, Zach, Zhao, what are you two talking about?"

"It seems that you are not satisfied with my tactics..."

Coach Norman didn't get angry with the two of them, instead he deliberately asked with a smirk.His words also made the locker room quiet, and the eyes of the teammates focused on the two.

The two people who were stared at by everyone quieted down, especially Lavin, who had been talking non-stop, stood up and explained with embarrassment.

"Coach Norman, I'm sorry...we're not dissatisfied with your tactics, it's just that I discussed the All-Star Game with Zhao just now..."

Zhao Feiyang also stood up and explained, "Zach is looking forward to this slam dunk contest! I told him that we will all cheer for him... If he can't win the championship, he will invite all of us when he comes back Go have a good night..."

"No, Zhao, you are too bad...I never said..."

As soon as Zach argued, his teammates couldn't help laughing.

Coach Norman did not blame the two, but also joked with them.

"Zach, I have no doubt that you can win the slam dunk contest! After all, you were the champion last year! I'm just curious what kind of moves you will design to participate in the competition this time?"

"Zhao, have you seen your All-Star votes? Now you are ranked No.2 in the West. Except for Stephen in front of you, no one has more votes than you... You are our Timberwolves Proud, when I get back from get off work at night, I will vote for you too..."

Everyone chatted in a hurry, and soon the game began.

Timberwolves players enter the infield.

The game started shortly after the referee threw the basketball.

The Timberwolves took the lead to get the chance to attack. LaVine held the ball and passed the ball to Zhao Feiyang after halftime. Zhao Feiyang who got the ball stood outside the three-point line and raised the basketball to make a good three-point shot.

Swish.

The basketball falls firmly into the hoop.

The Nuggets quickly fought back.

After halftime, defender Will Barton entered the basket with the ball.

When he swayed away the defensive player and went inside to shoot, Dwight Howard came up from the inside and the two met in mid-air. Howard slapped the opponent's ball and flew it out.

The fanned basketball fell into Zhao Feiyang's hands.

Zhao Feiyang sprinted with the ball, and this time after crossing the half court, he threw the ball high into the hands of LaVine who followed up.

LaVine jumped high, took the basketball and dunked the ball hard into the basket.

The cooperation of the Timberwolves is extremely tacit. Whether it is outside or inside, their state is not comparable to that of the Nuggets.

Therefore, there was almost no suspense in the game. The Timberwolves led the Nuggets from the beginning of the game, and even pulled the score to double digits in the second quarter.

Zhao Feiyang also felt good. He scored 11 points in the first quarter, and the number of shots decreased in the second quarter, but he still scored 9 points after half the time.

The Nuggets also tried to keep restricting him, even taking measures of marking and double-teaming, but such restrictions did not work for Zhao Feiyang at all.

All Timberwolves fans thought it was just an ordinary game, including Zhao Feiyang, until the game came to the second quarter at 9 minutes and 11 seconds, some minor situations on the field made the game become Not so ordinary.

At 9 minutes and 11 seconds, the Timberwolves played a positional attack, but unfortunately this time Andrew Wiggins did not score a breakthrough.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

The Nuggets chose to break fast to pass halftime. This time, the Timberwolves players failed to return to the defense in time, leaving only Zhao Feiyang to defend at halftime.

One-on-two!

Zhao Feiyang stared at the two fast break Nuggets players and put on a defensive posture.

Unexpectedly, when the opponent was approaching the basket, the Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried who was holding the ball suddenly threw the ball behind him, followed by the guard Will Barton who jumped up high, took the ball and went straight Jumped and dunked under the basket.

Zhao Feiyang stood in front of him, for fear of blocking the defense, Zhao Feiyang kept his defensive posture and did not move, but the opponent's slam dunk was completely done.

Under the shocked eyes of all the fans, Barton held up the basketball and hit a one-handed dunk in front of Zhao Feiyang.

boom.

This dunk was really powerful. Zhao Feiyang, who was standing on the ground to defend, not only made a background board, but was also knocked out by the opponent.

There was an uproar at the scene.

The referee didn't blow his whistle.

Button, who dunked the ball, was also very proud. Not only did he not pull up Zhao Feiyang who was on the ground, but he continued to make all kinds of arrogant gestures at the fans.

"Zhao, are you okay?"

LaVine ran across the half court and pulled Zhao Feiyang up.

Zhao Feiyang patted the dust on his butt, and shook his head at Lavin.

Although the sudden dunk was a little uncomfortable, Zhao Feiyang didn't care too much.

The game continues.

Seeing that the second quarter was coming to an end, with only 11 seconds left in the first half, the Nuggets made another quick break to pass halftime.

This time, Zhao Feiyang stood on the wing to prevent the Nuggets from entering the basket.

The opponent can only choose to shoot a jump shot.

Seeing that the basketball failed to go into the basket, Zhao Feiyang stood at the closest position to the basketball. At this moment, he only needs to jump up and take off the rebound.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, a figure suddenly rushed from behind him.

When Zhao Feiyang was completely unprepared, the opponent leaped high, snatched the basketball one second before Zhao Feiyang grabbed it, and then dunked the ball into the basket before landing.

boom.

The ball is in.

Barton, who made the dunk, deliberately fell on the basket and put his feet on Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang didn't care about the opponent's dunk, but he would not allow the opponent to do so.

He suddenly pushed away the opponent's foot on his body, but before he could reason with the opponent, the player named Button took the initiative to find trouble.

"Dude, what do you want to do?"

Button looked displeased.

It's a pity that he miscalculated the situation on the scene.

When he just walked in front of Zhao Feiyang to find something, Lavin and others had already surrounded him.Howard reacted even more quickly when he saw this, and rushed over to knock Barton away.

LaVine also stretched out his finger and pointed at the opponent's nose threateningly.

"You bastard, what do you want?"

"You want to fight with Zhao? Are you worthy? Let's go through my test first..."

"And I......"

Zhao Feiyang hadn't fully reacted to this kind of conflict on the field, and other teammates had already come up to support him.

Not only the players on the field, but also Kevin Martin, Adrian and others who were sitting off the field swarmed up.

In an instant, eight or nine Timberwolves players surrounded Button in the middle.
