Chapter 107 The fans before leaving

(Chapter 3 arrives, Happy New Year, Happy Year of the Monkey~)

Soon, the Timberwolves team sent out a notice to gather at the arena target center and take the team bus to the team flight airport.

This time we are going to Chicago, a metropolis in the eastern part of the United States, a famous international financial center, the third most populous city in the United States, after New York and Los Angeles, and the city is the home of the Bulls.

This time, they are going to challenge the Chicago Bulls led by Derrick Rose, the Bulls of the post-Jordan era!

As we all know, Michael Jordan won six championship trophies for the Bulls, successfully carving his name and glory in the history of Chicago.

But when Jordan grew old and retired, the once-glorious Bulls lost their way forward, and it seemed that it could no longer find the right course to go back to what it once was.

The NBA has since entered the post-Jordan era!

The team once brought back former Bulls Hero player Pippen and tried to get the experienced veteran to teach the younger players how to win championships, but unfortunately it didn't work out.

In the end, the Bulls management chose to rebuild after 98 years, successively sent away the old players in the team, and began to change blood one after another, the team successively selected the top pick Elton Brand, Conclusion Rose, Jay Williams, Danny Marshall and other players, but the Bulls have never been able to taste the sweet taste of the championship again, they can't find the next Jordan, to lead them back to the glory of the championship!

In the end, the team drafted Derrick Rose in '08, this outstanding champion guard, this young man conquered the Chicago fans in his first season, and when Derrick Rose led the team to the playoffs last year, all the Chicago fans were shouting and cheering!

They were incredibly confident at that moment that they had found the next Jordan!

Who knows how long they've been waiting for the next Jordan-like guy, three years? Five years? Or ten years?

Chicago's six-game winning streak has left many in the league envious and jealous, a period that has ruined the championship dreams of many Hall of Famers during the same period, and the terrifying Bulls dynasty has shattered the championship dreams of countless legendary players.

When Michael Jordan retired, Chicago fans lived on the resentment of the nation for a decade.

The whole league, the whole nation, the whole world is looking for the next Michael Jordan, but no one cares about the bad situation of the Chicago Bulls.

All everyone cares about is the appearance of the young man named Grant Hill in the Pistons, the Raptors' dunking Flyer Carter, the terrifying scoring champion McGrady, or the Los Angeles Lakers' "Black Mamba" Kobe......

Chicago never felt that Michael Jordan's successor could have so many, but none of the players belonged to the Bulls, and Chicago was still sinking.

Thankfully, the presence of Derrick Rose has given all Chicagoans a new hope, and this hope can even illuminate the dawn of the endless abyss.

In his rookie season, he led the team to the playoffs as seventh in the East, and played an excellent performance against the defending champion Celtics in the first round of the playoffs, scoring 36 points to tie the record for the highest rookie score in the first playoff game in NBA history set by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1970, and finally fought seven games with the Celtics Big Three, almost completing the "Black Seven" feat.

Although it failed in the end, no one would think that Derrick Rose was a loser, this is Rose's first season, and this Windy City Rose can bloom even more brilliantly!

All Chicagoans are looking forward to Derrick Rose doing just like Michael Jordan!

This season, the Chicago Bulls are in eighth place in the West and can still break into the playoffs, which is in the era of giants with a growing disparity between strength and weakness, and the young Derrick Rose has obviously led the Chicago Bulls to the right course, this young man is not simple.

Derrick Rose was the top pick in the class of '08, and he was also the best of all the rookies last year, and it was he who finally beat Westbrook, Kevin Love and other young players to win the best rookie crown, and he was also the only player in the class of '08 to lead the team to the playoffs as a core player.

And Li Shihao is now leading the rookie list, even though the team's record suffered a wave of six consecutive defeats and fell to tenth in the West, but with his court performance and personal data, he averaged 23 per game. 6 points 6. 8 assists 1. The 2 steals were enough to surpass the rest of the rookies and win the rookie of the season.

Some media are even announcing that this is a strong dialogue between the two Chicago rookies, and the duel between the two will most likely determine the quality of the two rookies!

Is it the strength of the rookies led by Derrick Rose in the 08 class, or the amazing talent of the rookies in the 09 class?

It is with this in mind that the Timberwolves players are a little worried about this game, the opponent is not bad, and they are one of the young teams in the league who are also on the road to rebuilding, but the Chicago Bulls obviously have one more year of playoff experience than them, not to mention the excellent experience of seven playoff games against the Boston Celtics.

And when the Timberwolves drove to the airport on the team bus, a group of fans were waiting on the road to the airport.

When the team bus with the Timberwolves logo approached, all the Timberwolves fans cheered, and many old fans smiled like children and were happy.

"Bruce, go to Chicago, defeat Derrick Rose, and prove you're the strongest!"

"We're not looking for the playoffs, but Bruce has to beat Derrick Rose!"

"Bruce, you're the future of Minnesota!"

Timberwolves fans certainly hope that the team can win tomorrow night's game, improve the win by one game, catch up one step by one, and gradually return to the ranks of the playoffs.

Timberwolves fans also know very well that if the Timberwolves want to win a valuable victory at the fanatical Chicago Home Union Center, then the play of the team's core Li Shihao will be the most important factor in determining all this!

Derrick Rose is also playing the No. 1 position, Li Shihao is also playing the No. 1 position, the two will be directly opposite each other on the court, once either side is in a weak position, it will bring a series of negative effects to the team, and even make the team fall into a suppressed state in attack and defense.

Timberwolves fans are naturally most concerned about the impact of the team's core Li Shihao, even if Li Shihao wins the data in the end, but loses the game, Timberwolves fans will understand.

Timberwolves fans just want to prove that the Timberwolves are on the road to rise and can't be stopped!
