Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Silent Wolf King

After a two-day break in Minnesota, the Timberwolves flew to Boston in their next game against the league's most legendary giant, the Boston Celtics.

The Boston Celtics' home stadium is the North Shore Garden Arena, which has a history of more than 10 years in July this year, renamed "TD Garden", calculated from the official opening of the stadium in 1995, 14 years of precipitation not only did not make the arena ordinary and silent, but has a sense of historical accumulation.

It's an indescribable taste, and it's a completely different flavor to be in this old arena and listen to the old fans in Boston City cheering and shouting. The smell of cigars in the corners and the lingering smell of Boston fans around you can make you feel a strange Boston atmosphere, like a cup of mellow coffee, which is impressive and completely different.

When Li Shihao stepped on the wooden floor of the North Shore Garden Arena for the first time, he was deeply attracted by this more than ten years old arena, which has an extraordinary temperament, champion, glory, pride, and seems to have a sense of historical accumulation.

The arena has been watched by more than 24 million people, and watching the Boston Celtics play here, listening to the cheers of the old Celtics fans, is a very different feeling, which is completely different from other arena games.

Li Shihao looked up at the 17 huge flags hanging high in the air, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart, whether it was excitement or heaviness.

The 17 flags, symbolizing the 17 championships, symbolizing the glory and glory of winning the championship in 17 years, this is undoubtedly the best affirmation of the Boston Celtics, a giant in the basketball world!

17 championship flags, the furthest can be traced back to the glory of the NBA's ancient times, the most recent is the 07-08 season Celtics Big Three won the championship, this is a heavy honor, many generations have worked together in this historical arena, for the Celtics name, put 17 championship trophies.

Li Shihao is pondering, in the future, he may retire due to injury, or he may retire after more than ten years of hard work, he will eventually leave this league, where will he be at that time, and how many championship trophies will he bring to those lovely fans in Minnesota?

Li Shihao was silent, it was very difficult, the chance of winning the championship in a small city was too small, and there was no fame and exposure in a big city, so it was impossible to attract superstars to join, especially Minnesota, a remote city in the ice and snow, and the chance of winning the championship was too small compared to other teams.

But what if it's harder?

Li Shihao has a strong feeling of becoming stronger in his heart, what if there is no superstar to join? What if you don't have great fame and exposure?

Minnesota has a group of fans who love themselves and love the Timberwolves, even if the team is poor and has a poor record, they are still so enthusiastic and cute, they will fight for a home ticket, they will cheer for every victory of the team, and they will be saddened by every defeat of the team.

Minnesota and LeFou, they trust themselves, they give the ball to themselves, they believe that they will lead the team to rise, they give their backs to themselves without reservation on the court, and they compete for insignificant rebounds again and again, but they give themselves more offensive opportunities!

Minnesota also has McHale, Frank Vogel, Glenn Taylor, ......, and this city is worth staying and fighting for!

"Bruce, let's shoot a few three-pointers, shall we?" In the distance, Lefou's heartless voice came again.

Li Shihao turned sideways, hid his emotions in his heart, and ran over quickly.

The overall champion, there will be!

I'm going to bring the championship to the people of Minnesota!

Li Shihao swore fiercely in his heart that the championship would be the best reward for all those who supported him!

Just when Li Shihao and Love were training three points together, in the Celtics' half, Pierce, who was wearing a green No. 34 jersey, made a quick shot at the three-point line, and the basketball quickly crossed an arc in the air and plunged into the basket.

Paul Pierce had a faint smile on his calm face, and his two small beards trembled, clearly pleased with the shot that was in excellent condition.

"Kevin, how is my ball?" Paul Pierce asked the tall, thin black player next to him who was shooting in practice, his words were flat but with a natural sense of pride.

The tall black and thin player seemed to be accustomed to Paul Pierce's tone habits, and said nonchalantly: "Paul, if you can maintain such confidence in the next game and throw in 8 three-pointers, I believe the media will praise you tomorrow!" ”

Paul Pierce was stunned and smiled: "Isn't that Timberwolves guy going to get a crushing defeat on our home court in Boston?" That's the kid you've always been optimistic about, wouldn't that be too devastating? ”

After the tall black thin player put the basketball into the basket steadily, he said without raising his head: "Failure is the most growth, if he can't accept failure, learn from it, and make himself stronger, then it is unwise for the future of the Timberwolves to be handed over to him, just because I am looking at the wrong person." ”

The words were light and light, and they seemed to be belittling Li Shihao, but they had an extremely deep trust in Li Shihao.

Paul Pierce smiled, his mouth grinned, showing his white teeth, this is the wolf king Garnett, arrogant and untamed, it is not strange that this words come out of his mouth at all.

Wolf King Garnett picked up the basketball that fell on the floor, and couldn't help but look at the Chinese young man who was practicing three points seriously in the opposite half of the court, with curiosity and some expectation.

I really want to know what the Timberwolves will become in your hands in the future, whether they will sink or rise?

Bruce Lee, Kevin Love, Marc Gasol, Corey Brewer, Ryan Gomez...... There are many people left in this team that used to be very familiar, there are also some old friends who continue to struggle, and there are also many new faces.

The former mentor Philip Sanders is gone, the general manager McHale, who taught him how to play the basket in the past, is still there, and the wolf king Garnett is in a trance, this team has given him too many memories and imprints, carrying most of his career.

Looking back on the eventful years of the past, it seems that everything is in front of you, as if you can touch it with a light stretch of hand.

"Tonight, I won't let victory slip through the North Shore Garden, if you want to become the new wolf king, then defeat me first, now I am your strongest stumbling block!"

Wolf King Garnett clenched his fists, looked at Li Shihao's back and was speechless for a long time, thinking secretly in his heart.
