At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Qiang felt that he didn't need to play, so he sat back on the bench with Lefou, Poles, Braque, and Gasol, who had just returned from an ankle injury, and let the benches on the court play. I have to say that Martin Kevin, the Timberwolves' super sixth man, that is, the guy who is about to become the new wolf king without Li Qiang's butterfly effect, still performs very well. However, compared to the main team of the Lakers who continue to struggle on the court, the bench team he leads is still far behind.

It is obvious that Kobe, Bynum and Nash's triangular offense has been opened. With a lack of oppressive defense from the benches, the offensive coordination of the main players on the field became more and more fluid. In contrast, Martin was tightly guarded and caught by Artay.

Martin felt as if the Timberwolves and the Lakers had changed, the Lakers played a smooth team offense that originally belonged to the Timberwolves, and he became Kobe Bryant to overcome many enemies. After all, the owner of the Timberwolves is not particularly rich, after introducing two All-Star names of Brack and Polles, renewing the contracts of Martin and Love, and the contract of more than 20 million yuan paid to Li Qiang every year, there is not much room to introduce better role players.

Li Qiang frowned slightly when he looked at it from the sidelines. Yes, Timberwolves owners are less willing to pay the luxury tax. Although this year, Li Qiang's strong recommendation to enter the two big names of Poles and Braque exceeded the starting point of the luxury tax by several million, in Li Qiang's view, to form a traditional championship puzzle, his team still lacks a lot, and has to pay more luxury tax.

The Timberwolves owner isn't too worried, though. In his opinion, as long as Li Qiang is on the court, he can lead a group of role players to the finals. This has been proven by the facts.

However, Li Qiang is not willing to become a firefighter, in Li Qiang's opinion, he will retire one day, and the dynasty established by his own combat effectiveness will not last long. What Li Qiang is thinking about is building the Timberwolves into a super dynasty team with a super strong heritage that surpasses the Lakers, Celtics and other old brands. This team will have the most illustrious history in league history and will be a strong contender for the championship every year.

"Looks like we're going to have to put some pressure on the boss at the end of the season." Li Qiang thought involuntarily in his heart.

Yes. After Li Qiang's small contract of 5 million in his rookie year, the Lakers and Li Qiang signed a big contract of 130 million for four years. Later, Li Qiang transferred because of the conflict with Kobe, and the Timberwolves took the responsibility of giving out the money. In another year, this contract will expire. If Li Qiang does not choose to renew his contract, the entire league will go crazy for Li Qiang.

Yes, all the teams in the entire league will be chasing Li Qiang like crazy! After all, this is a rebellious being who can win the championship on his own! And Li Qiang is still young, Li Qiang's current age is only equivalent to a junior student! Li Qiang is only 22 years old! The next 10 years will be his golden age! As long as there are no injuries, he will be a super bug who has dominated the league for a whole decade!

Signing Li Qiang will be equivalent to signing a ten-year championship! Anyone who has ever heard of the NBA will be crazy to hear this. Not to mention the bosses who have a lot of money and are stupid, the coaches who salivate over the championship, and the players who regard the championship ring as the supreme glory?

So in Li Qiang's view, at the end of this season, as long as the Timberwolves give another piece of money, countless NBA players will run over and cry and shout to join the Timberwolves. It is not difficult to enhance the strength of the Timberwolves and even build a super dynasty under the glorious light of Li Qiang's basketball emperor.

Li Qiang doesn't want to leave the Timberwolves, but if the owner is stingy with this money, Li Qiang should consider changing cities the year after tomorrow to realize his dream of becoming a basketball emperor.

The basketball king doesn't just mean that he has won ten championship rings and other achievements. What's more, the deep heritage of building a championship team on your own, the creation of a new dynasty that will last for decades, and an endless myth about this team!

In Li Qiang's heart, he still doesn't want to leave the city. After all, I have been here for more than two years, and I have developed a deep relationship with this place. What's more, the people here love him unconditionally, the super wolf king of the Timberwolves. It's not like Los Angeles, where the Lakers and Clippers are jealous; It's not like New York, where if you play well, you'll be lifted to heaven, and if you're not satisfied, you'll be sent to hell; Here, there is only the unconditional love of the people of Minneapolis for Li Qiang.

I believe that the boss will not be stupid enough to give up the championship in the next ten years!

Li Qiang came back to his senses and glanced at the scoreboard, and the number on it stinged his eyes: 48:48. There was 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the second quarter.

What the? Li Qiang was a little incredible. With a 20-point lead in the first quarter, he was chased back in less than a quarter?

Yes, Kobe, who was deeply stimulated by Li Qiang, broke out in this section. Without Li Qiang's defense, those bench players would have almost no restrictions on Kobe. Bryant scored 16 points alone, and Bynum and Nash, who were on the other two ends of the triangle offense, also got a lot of shots. Especially after Bryant no longer forcibly possessed the ball, Nash's assists finally recreated the flowing style of the Suns back then. Nash dished out seven assists in the quarter alone, including four for Bryant. In addition to scoring 10 points in a single quarter, Bynum also contributed 6 rebounds in a single quarter. The entire Lakers' offense has been revitalized.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves looked a little confused after the Lakers played smoothly. Although the main players such as Braque and Pores returned to the court, the whole team was contaminated with a brainless way of playing for some reason, and the offense seemed very messy. The defense was constantly punched by the triangle offense, and there was a big hole in it. In the face of the chaotic situation, Braque and Porres could only score some points and foul some early by playing hard, but the success rate was not high, and the two also ate three or four blocks. After all, they are not perverts like Li Qiang, who always have a feel by refining tendons, and now the two of them are also a little dizzy when they are capped, and they repeatedly strike iron.

"Li Qiang, don't go on this section. Our team is used to playing with the wind, and we have no resilience. In the past, we wanted to develop the spirit of the team without you, but people didn't care much about it during the regular season. Today, let's show those guys what a playoff headwind ball is. Timberwolves head coach Philip Saunders patiently persuaded Li Qiang.

Li Qiang resisted the urge to play and abuse the Lakers, and sat on the court gloomily watching his group of younger brothers being abused...

Li Qiang's depressed expression was taken by many people, and I believe that Li Qiang's depressed photos will appear on the Internet in a short time.

"Being abused is like rape, since you can't resist, it's better to enjoy it!" Li Qiang self-anesthetized on the sidelines.

The whistle blew, 48:54.The Timberwolves didn't score a point in the last minute, and the Lakers scored six straight points to overtake the score in one fell swoop. Li Qiang couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and walked back to the lounge without saying a word.
