Chapter 41: The Devil's Trifecta
After the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Minnesota Timberwolves had another day of joy for their players, with a full day of rest and free time to plan their moves.
Still, our little white kids' shoes got out of bed after the sun had fully risen, and it wasn't just a matter of saying that we could establish ourselves in the NBA as Asians.
Of course, there is more than one person in the Timberwolves team who has the same idea as Bai Xiaonian, for example, when the little white shoes stepped into the gate of the Timberwolves training arena in the target center, Lefu and Lu Yuanwai had already started their daily training.
"Hey! Good morning, Wood! Did you watch today's news? ”
Kevin Lefu greeted Bai Xiaonian with a smile when he saw Bai Xiaonian come in.
"What? News? ”
With doubts, Bai Xiaonian replied that he was not in the habit of subscribing to newspapers.
Lefu had such an expression after hearing Bai Xiaonian's words, and then turned to Rubio and said:
"Oh! Ricky, looks like our elves don't know it yet! ”
Of course, the most confused at this moment is our little white children's shoes, with doubts to take the newspaper handed over by Lefu, he has to see what is going on.
Lefu gave Bai Xiaonian a copy of USA Today, a magazine with huge influence in the United States.
"Wood! Best Rookie! ”
This is the black headline that Bai Xiaonian saw at the first glance when he opened the newspaper, and it was published in the most conspicuous position in the sports section of "USA Today".
Its editor-in-chief, Kens Wallace, wrote in the report:
"I thought before this year's draft that the rookie of the season suspense should be between Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams, but obviously everyone is wrong now, and even though Irving and Williams are doing really well right now, I have to announce that this season's Rookie of the Year has been won by Wood White..."
Obviously, the editor of USA Today has a lot of respect for Bai Xiaonian, and the rhetoric used in this report made Xiao Bai Tongshou himself blush.
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, and then raising his head to look at the smiling expressions of Lefu and Rubio, Bai Xiaonian felt that his eggs hurt.
"Hey, hey, hey! You don't really believe it, do you? And even if it were, there was no problem! Do you all think I'm not worthy of that little rookie of the best? ”
Bai Xiaonian shouted loudly.
"Nope! No! We're glad for you! ”
The Lefous and Rubio alliance sneered.
Next, the three of them started today's personal training plan together.
When the three of them left the target center arena, the sun was already in place, what could the three men do in this situation?
Just when the three of them had nothing to do and were strolling down the street, Bai Xiaonian's mobile phone rang.
"Hey! Hello, this is Wood..."
Picked up the phone weakly, Bai Xiaonian wanted Emma's voice to come from the phone the most, you must know that they haven't spoken on the phone for two days, and every time he calls, the phone is busy.
However, the man's voice on the other end of the phone once again shattered the illusion of the little white children's shoes.
"Wood, I'm Jeff, how are you doing? Know that you're the biggest favorite for the best rookie right now! ”
Jeff Schwartz's voice rang on the phone. Since he met Bai Xiaonian, his status has skyrocketed, and Jeff dares to guarantee that signing Bai Xiaonian is the most correct decision in his life!
"Huh? Not bad! Is there anything looking for me? ”
Thinking that he had lost contact with his wife, Bai Xiaonian was in no mood to talk to this old comrade at all.
"What! I can't contact you if I don't have something? Anyway, it was Nike who contacted me again..."
“nike?”
"You can't have forgotten the fact that you're still the face of the Nike brand, have you?"
Jeff Schwartz can guarantee that such a freewheeling or careless guy is the first time he has seen him in the NBA.
"Oh-oh? So what do they have to do with me? ”
Bai Xiaonian suddenly replied.
“emmm…… I don't know, they didn't tell me why, they just said they wanted to meet you, but I guess it was for the new contract. ”
Jeff Schwartz on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes, but said patiently.
"New contract? What's the situation? ”
At this time, our little white children's shoes finally straightened their attitude and said.
"What do you say? My Best Rookie! You're the brightest supernova in the league right now! Sports brands that want to sign endorsement contracts with you are estimated to be able to line up from Minneapolis to Los Angeles! ”
"So where should I go?"
"No, no, no, you don't have to go anywhere! It's them who came to Minneapolis! ”
Jeff Schwartz said proudly.
………
January 8th
The Minnesota Timberwolves challenged the Washington Wizards away from home, and Bai Xiaonian followed the team's charter flight to the capital of the United States early in the morning, which is a game they are fully capable of.
And it turned out that the Minnesota Timberwolves fielded their strongest lineup in this game, while the Wizards, who didn't have any superstars, only resisted for two quarters before surrendering.
Bai Xiaonian scored 20 points plus 11 assists in the "regular" data of paddling all over the game, and was elected the most valuable player of the game.
The next day, the Minnesota Timberwolves moved to Toronto, Canada, to continue their second game of a Devil's Trifecta.
After the start of the game, everyone could clearly feel the fatigue of the Timberwolves today, but fortunately, the Toronto Raptors were not in a good state today, so the two teams fought until the fourth quarter.
In the end, less than five minutes before the end of the game, the Timberwolves relied on Bai Xiaonian's two three-pointers to open the gap between the two teams, and thus won the second game of the Devils' three-game triad with difficulty.
Then the Timberwolves dragged their tired bodies back to their home arena in Minneapolis, where they challenged the Bulls.
Before the game, no one was optimistic that the young Timberwolves would be able to beat the Bulls with Phoenix Roses, Noah, Boozer and Korver.
But after the start of the game, it was completely unexpected, under the leadership of Bai Xiaonian, the Timberwolves played a beautiful counterattack, took the lead from the beginning of the game, and continued to open the score of the two sides in the course of the game, and finally the young wolf cubs successfully maintained the lead until the end of the game, winning 111-100, and thus completing their feat of three consecutive wins.
In the three games of the Minnesota Timberwolves' back-to-back three consecutive wins, Bai Xiaonian played an average of 37 minutes per game, scoring 27.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 11.8 assists, and was elected the Most Valuable Player in three consecutive games, proving that he is the best rookie of the year in the most powerful way.
