Chapter Thirty-Nine: Sudden News Deals

As one of the three giants of the traditional media industry in the United States, the New York Times has a great influence on the American people, and the information they provide affects every citizen living in the United States every day.

The New York Times commentary highlighted Lee's performance in the new season, and they praised Lee's outstanding performance in near-praise terms, and the impact of this review was huge, and many American fans learned about this not simple Chinese rookie in the day's report.

Since the beginning of the season, the war has been burning for two weeks, involving all 30 teams in the east and west of the league in this war, and the Cavaliers in the East have begun to recover after two consecutive losses at the beginning of the season, and now they have played an astonishing nine consecutive wins, and are now ranked first in the East, with a 9-2 record that is proud of the league and the first in the league.

The Orlando Magic team has also shown amazing chemistry this season, and the dominance of the Warcraft Dwight Howard in the restricted area has become stronger and stronger, and now there is a faint demeanor of the league's No. 1 center, and this year's Orlando Magic under his leadership is second in the East and second in the league after the Cavaliers.

The situation in the West is more anxious, the Lakers are ranked first in the West, third in the league, but the competition in the West is too fierce, this season the Spurs are still old and spicy, the Suns are still crazy, the Denver people are still forming a jump shot team on the plateau, the young Trail Blazers and Jazz are beginning to rise, the record between them is not much different, in the long season, the team often experiences a wave of back-to-back defeats, and the ranking falls sharply.

The pattern of strong West and weak East is becoming more and more obvious, since the Celtics' Big Three were successfully formed and won the championship that season, this case has caused many in the league to think.

Not to be outdone, the Lakers traded All-Star power forward Pau Gasol from the Grizzlies for a narrow price, and the Lakers' triangle offense was assembled to win a championship last year.

The trend of the arms race is becoming more and more obvious, the strong are getting stronger, the weak are getting weaker, and the alliance with a huge disparity between the strong and the weak seems to herald the arrival of a new era of giants!

In such a situation, there is an undercurrent hidden under the calm alliance, and this mysterious undercurrent may change the pattern of this alliance!

Cleveland in the east is trying to recruit a reliable royal knightly guard for their little emperor; Pat Riley, the god operator of Miami Beach, is brewing his amazing plan......

Winter has already begun to take hold, Minnesota residents have wrapped themselves in thick winter coats, and the temperature in Minnesota has recently dropped below 0 degrees Celsius, and the city is gradually beginning to show the appearance of a northern city.

"Whew-"

Outside an apartment in Minnesota, a yellow-skinned young man was clearing snow in the yard, wrapped in a thick winter coat that still couldn't withstand the cold.

A crack appeared in the door of the house, and a delicate and beautiful face leaned out: "Sweep the snow for a while and come in quickly, I have already made breakfast, hurry up and eat a little while it's hot to warm up." ”

The young man in the courtyard smiled back and quickened the action of clearing the snow.

"Bang-"

Li Shihao walked into the door, shook off the snow on his body, hid the door behind him, and locked it hard, blocking the cold wind from the door.

Yun Fei was watching the news of the local sports station in Minnesota at this time, and was broadcasting the latest NBA situation at the moment:

"Ladies and gentlemen, on November 16th, Minnesota Local Station reported that just last night, our young Timberwolves boys traveled to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies, and the rookie Bruce Lee had 27 points, 7 assists and 4 assists. 2 rebounds 2. 1 steal, led the team to capture the bears at home, easily defeated the Grizzlies, and won a victory. ”

The host, looking at the manuscript in his hand, paused in his tone, and continued to report:

"It's been two weeks since the start of the new season, the Timberwolves have suffered a wave of three consecutive defeats after two consecutive wins, and now, the young lads of the Timberwolves have regained their form, defeated strong opponents, played a wave of six consecutive wins, and now ranks fourth in the West, we have seen the efforts of the Timberwolves management this year!"

Li Shihao smiled when he heard this, and asked, "Why are you looking at this?" The rhetoric of the media is changeable, and now they are praising us, and they may be scolding us later. ”

Yun Fei stretched out her white and slender fingers, pulled the hair on her sideburns, pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't lie to me, I've read a lot of NBA information recently, the Timberwolves' record in the past two weeks is very good, and it seems that there is still a lot of hope for the playoffs." ”

"How can it be so easy, the current wave of consecutive wins is entirely because the team's new triangle tactics are running in relatively smoothly, they are not familiar with our offensive and defensive system, so that many teams are very uncomfortable, waiting for more games, the remaining 29 teams will have special countermeasures to target us, at that time there is no such cheap to take advantage of, the next wave of fixtures is not easy to play, the teams facing are all in the west, maybe they will fall into a losing streak." Li Shihao shook his head and explained.

Yun Fei glanced at Li Shihao when she heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you really so good at fooling me?" Check out this report! ”

As he spoke, he threw Li Shihao a newspaper, which was densely packed with data and listed on the table.

Yun Fei snorted lightly a few times, and looked at Li Shihao with his eyes, meaning to let him take a good look for himself.

Li Shihao couldn't help but be a little curious, opened the newspaper, but found that this was a report on the statistics of the alliance in the New York Times.

Durant averaged 30 per game in the scoring list. With an explosive stat of 5 at the top of the list, the young leader of the Thunder team has been phenomenal this season, shooting 47 from the field. 6%, the offensive efficiency has improved a lot compared to last season, and the Thunder's performance this season is also extremely amazing, the combination of Durant and Westbrook has made most teams in the league unable to defend, and once the newcomer's hand is hot, it will directly take away the game without suspense.

The Cavaliers' LeBron James and the Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony then finished with 29 each. 7 points, 28. The 2-point figure is a close second.

The Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant has been reasonably controlling his shooting power this season, and he is looking to defend the championship this season and win his fifth championship ring after he has not had much time in his prime.

Surprisingly, the Magic's interior leader, Dwight Howard, the '04 No. 1 pick, has a dominant presence in the Orlando penalty area, where anyone who wants to get into the box and try to score will be rewarded with a hot hot pot.

Monster Howard leads the league in rebounding and blocking, and is at the top of both lists, which is one of the reasons why the Magic are still strong this season.

13 per game. 2 rebounds 2. 7 blocks, let everyone realize the power of this monster that laughs like a big child, and Orlando, where he is there, is definitely a no-fly zone!

To Li Shihao's surprise, his good brother Kevin Love is also on the list, averaging 12 per game. With 3 rebounds in second place, this statistic made him a little staggering, he understood that Lefou's rebounding ability was amazing, but when the league's real list was ranked, he realized the monster level of Lefou's rebounding ability.

Although in the last few games, Lefou's rebounding statistics have been shared by Al Jefferson a lot, but he can still be 12. With 3 rebounds ranking second in the league, he is still quite pleased.

Subsequently, Li Shihao looked at this year's rookie list, and his name ranked first on the list, beating all potential rookies in the east and west.

At this time, the phone in the house rang, Yun Fei picked it up and listened for a while, glanced at Li Shihao with a strange look, handed over the phone in his hand, and motioned for Li Shihao to answer it himself.

Li Shihao was a little confused, took the phone suspiciously, and as soon as he put the microphone to his mouth, he heard Lefou's loud voice shouting: "Bruce, look at the news just released on the official website, you won the Western Player of the Week, you have to treat yourself!" ”

Li Shihao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Yun Fei on the side, a little incredulous.

Yun Fei pursed her lips and smiled, urging: "Go and see the news on the official website, Lefu is in such a hurry, this news must be true!" ”

Lee opened his laptop and quickly logged on to the NBA's official website, and he clearly saw the eye-catching news that Timberwolves' Lee Bruce Lee had won last week's Player of the Week, and the cover was the picture of himself scoring against the Grizzlies.

Is this the Player of the Week?

Li Shihao pinched his face, his performance this week was good, leading the Timberwolves to a wave of six consecutive wins, and his performance was very good, but there are many players in the West whose performance is also amazing!

Durant, who occupies the top scoring list, Kobe Bryant, who is the first Lakers in the West, and Nash who is the Phoenix Suns...... Which one is the easy one?

Actually made him a rookie win the Team of the Week title in the second week of the new season?

Li Shihao was also a little happy in his heart, he would not refuse to have honor, this is also what he worked hard for, although there are many strong enemies watching, but he will not admit it.

Just when he was still being pleasantly surprised by the news, Yun Fei suddenly exclaimed, Li Shihao turned his head to look, and saw Yun Fei pointing to the news being broadcast on TV with a shocked expression.

"Just an hour ago, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Memphis Grizzlies made a deal in which the Timberwolves sent starting center Al Jefferson and small forward Wilkins in exchange for Spanish center Marc Gasol and a 10-year first-round pick."

The serious expression of the white host on the TV screen is obviously not a joke!

Li Shihao's head banged, a blank, Al was traded?

Al Jefferson, who has faintly All-Star strength, was traded away, and even Li Shihao doesn't know whether this deal is right or wrong for the future of the Timberwolves?

The Timberwolves' journey this season is starting to get confused......
