Guo Xu looked at the big news that happened in the NBA league of this world in the past 10 years, and a small change can cause a series of butterfly effects, leading to history beyond recognition.

This parallel world has changed even more, and the cause of the incident is probably just that Duncan's mother had an extra medical examination when she was young.

In the course of history, Duncan's mother died of breast cancer the day before his birthday in 1990. Duncan was only 14 years old at the time, and his mother wanted him to finish college and become a man of culture. Therefore, in order to fulfill his mother's last wish, Duncan only participated in the NBA draft after graduating from college, although he was outstanding.

In this world, Duncan's mother found a small lump on her chest early, and successfully changed the outcome of her death through surgery, so she naturally lost her last wish to let Duncan go to college.

The Duncan family supports him to enter the NBA as soon as possible, and as long as he is high in the pick and has a guaranteed contract, the whole family can enjoy it.

In 1993, Duncan enrolled in Wake Forest University, where he majored in psychology. In his first game against the University of Alaska, Duncan didn't score a point, and he was just a normal interior player with outstanding physicality as a freshman.

Duncan's original dream was to become a swimmer, as his sister had been on the U.S. National Swimming Team.

Later, Duncan was influenced by his brother-in-law, coupled with his tall stature, and began to switch to basketball at the age of 14. He has a high IQ and basketball talent, which is why he has quickly become a star, and no one expected him to be strong enough to fight "The Big Shark" on land.

With intense training, Duncan's performance quickly improved. In his sophomore year of college, Duncan scored 25 points in a game against Wallace University, and Jerry West decided that he would be the top pick in the 1995 NBA Draft, but unfortunately the Lakers did not have a high pick.

Although Duncan University's first two years of team record were not stellar, his stats were not particularly impressive, and he did not win individual honors, he was confident that he could adapt to the intensity of the NBA, and entered the 1995 NBA Draft.

Duncan, who ran two years early, did not become the top pick, but only slightly beat high school player Garnett, and was selected by the Timberwolves with the fifth pick.

The hapless Garnett was drafted by the Grizzlies in sixth place, and the Grizzlies at this time were located in Vancouver, no star wanted to join, and the record was at the bottom every year, not much better than the Timberwolves.

Guo Xu feels that this is fate, and Garnett is destined to become the man of the "King of the North".

After joining the Timberwolves, Duncan's rookie season was not outstanding, the team did not even make the playoffs, he averaged 12.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.2 blocks per game and failed to compete for the best rookie over "flying squirrel" Stoudamire.

It's not that Duncan can't get the ball, it's that he can't get the ball. The Timberwolves' boss in the 1995-96 season was Isaiah Ryder, a famous cancer in the NBA, and Kristen Leitner and Duncan also shared playing time on the inside.

The Timberwolves' record has changed this season, and the draft pick is only eighth.

In the 1996 draft, the Grizzlies, who already had Garnett, selected point guard Stephen Marbury instead of using the scout pick to select overlapping power forward Sharif Raheem.

Fate is wonderful......

The Bucks drafted Raheem with the fourth overall pick and would be happy to trade the Timberwolves if they drafted Marbury.

When the Timberwolves wanted to trade Marbury, who also lacked a good guard, they refused.

The Raptors drafted Stoudamire, the Green Army drafted Antoine Walker, the Clippers selected Lorenzen White, and Ray Allen fell to eighth before being drafted by the Timberwolves, so depressed that he couldn't do it.

The trade can't come to Marbury, and the Timberwolves have to keep Ray Allen, and both sides are quite reluctant.

After the "-stirring stick" Ryder was purged by the team and Leitner was traded, the spring of the Timberwolves came.

Duncan will become a 20+10 star next season, and the second-in-command Gugliotta also played the peak of his career 20+8+4, and the two were selected as All-Stars together and led the Timberwolves to the playoffs, losing to the Jazz in the second round.

The Timberwolves' offense has become smooth and beautiful, with Duncan and Gogliotta forming a twin tower, which can not only block and dismantle offense, but also attack in the low post, and can also play the ball in the high and low post.

The outside line focuses on cultivating Ray Allen, who has just entered the league, is an excellent instant combat force, he is physically strong, fast, and his bounce power is at the level of a slam dunk contest. He has accurate mid-to-long shots and can also break through with the ball.

The Timberwolves have established the trident, and the other role players are responsible for catching, shooting, and defense, and the cooperation is becoming more and more tacit.

The key to the team's success is chemistry, with Gugliotta and Duncan forming a twin tower complementary, and his specialty is pulling out mid-range shots, while Duncan prefers to hold the ball in the low post early in his career, attracting the bag and then sharing the ball.

Gugliotta and Garnett overlapped in the same position, both are strikers, both like to hide and play, and it is difficult to defend the penalty area.

Garnett was too thin when he first entered the league, and he falsely reported his height in order not to play inside, resulting in Gugliota having to go to the main defensive penalty area, and his injuries were directly related to the intensity of the confrontation.

Now that the Timberwolves have a tough Duncan, Gugliotta is healthy enough to pull out and play as much as he wants. He is not afraid of others saying that he is a soft egg, because he knows that his physical fitness cannot be compared with Duncan, and success depends on technology.

In the 1997 draft, the Timberwolves selected two-way guard Bobby Jackson to strengthen the weakest No. 1 position.

Although Jackson's playmaking skills were not great, he was able to shoot and strengthen the team's offensive firepower in the second quarter. The starting Timberwolves mainly play inside, and the outside is responsible for holding the ball and attacking Ray Allen.

Ray Allen improved significantly in the second season of his career, averaging 4.2 rebounds and 4 assists with 17.3 points per game, shooting 40.7% from three-point range and shooting 2 three-pointers.

It is worth mentioning that in 1996, the Spurs, who had a poor record, drafted Van Horn with the first pick, and this twin towers tragedy.

The results of the 1997-98 season were striking, with the Timberwolves finishing fourth in the West in the regular season, slightly behind the Jazz, SuperSonics and Lakers.

However, the young players of the Timberwolves are getting better and better, and after entering the playoffs, they fought fiercely, and swept the Suns 3-0 in the first round.

In the second round, the Timberwolves upset the Jazz 4-3 and eliminated the Jazz, who finished first in the West in the regular season with 62 wins.

"Big White Bear" Ostertag did a good job defending O'Neill, because O'Neill had no range and kept attacking the penalty area. Although Duncan's dominance in the penalty area is slightly inferior to that of the "Big Shark", he is more comprehensive, not only able to attack in the low post, but also to pull out to block and dismantle the defender to create misplaced offensive opportunities, and catch the ball and shoot in the middle.

The "Big White Bear" was unable to block and dismantle and was blown up, and Duncan and Ray Allen became key figures.

In the Western Conference finals, the Timberwolves eliminated the Lakers 4-2. Duncan is not inferior to O'Neal in terms of statistics, and Kobe's performance in the second season is not as good as that of Ray Allen, and he will only play randomly and shoot wildly.

In the finals, Duncan defeated Bulls center Luke Longley, and Rodman could only defend against Gugliotta, and there was no way to take Duncan.

Led by Duncan, Tom Hammond, Sam Mitchell, Terry Burt, Anthony Peeler, Ray Allen and others all played well. Only Gugliotta is in a sluggish state and has a low shooting percentage, but Rodman in front of the Bulls has no offensive power and can only try to make a move.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Bulls 4-3, and Duncan helped the team win the first championship in team history and was elected FMVP.

The Bulls did their best, the players were aging this season, their physical fitness was suffering, and Jordan had a high fever in the finals and forced him to play. Jordan with a fever can get the "postman", but he can't get the "wolf king"!
