A little over a month ago, Lu Deng told fans at a welcoming ceremony in Cleveland: "I hope you're ready to win a lot of games!" ”

At the Timberwolves' welcome ceremony, Lu Deng laughed at himself and said something similar:

“…… The last time I was welcomed in Cleveland, I said, 'I want the Cleveland fans to be ready to win a lot of games,' and who knew that after the preseason in Las Vegas, even though we won the preseason, they traded me here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm so pitiful.

"So, when I came to Mingcheng and as soon as I got off the plane I asked President Phillip, 'Are you going to trade me away like Cleveland?'

"He said he would never trade me unless I was leaving! Haha, since he doesn't trade me, I can feel free and bold to say to every Wolves fan at today's welcome party, 'My teammates and I promise that we will win many, many games for Minnesota!' ’

"If you support us, please raise your hands, and every fan who supports us, when the welcome is over, can find that fat man and get a T-shirt. I love you, I love Mingzhou, I love Mingcheng! Wolves brothers, I can't wait to fight alongside you! ”

In the end, Lu Deng's voice through the microphone was almost drowned out by the cheers of the fans. They raised their hands in the air and waved them in the air.

Compared to big cities like New York and Los Angeles, and small and remote cities like Ming City, fans tend to be more simple and loyal. They prefer to support their stars rather than indulging in doubt.

Timberwolves fans are too eager for a change in the team.

The team hasn't made the playoffs since Garnett left Minnesota, and although they later got a big star like Kevin Love who can steal the board inside and out, and also selected the golden boy guard Ricky Rubio in European basketball, fans still see a weak team that everyone is looking at.

Such a record is sorry for the vicious wolf head with fangs on the logo.

Kevin Love is gone! He has long expressed his dissatisfaction with the team, which makes the fans who support him very sad.

Lu Deng is here, he is Lu Deng who beat Jabari Parker to become the champion, he is Lu Deng who averaged 51 points per game in the summer league, and he is the strongest projection killer in NBA history!

And he has a particularly high emotional intelligence.

He gave gifts to every coach, player and administrator on the team. He also gives gifts to the fans, and never seen a rookie give gifts to so many people at a welcome party.

He speaks English so well, with some Shakespearean aristocratic elegance. Why can a Chinese speak English so well?

He is humorous, sincere, and knows how to laugh at himself!

"I've been fascinated by him, and I think he's going to make a difference for the Timberwolves, and I'm going to turn over."

Every fan who got the Wushang basketball T-shirt was full of anticipation for Lu Deng.

However, the cheers of the fans did not make Lu Deng fall into blind optimism. His gaze didn't linger on the faces of any of the fans.

He's watching his teammates, Rubio and Pekovic, who have been on the team for years, newcomers Brewer and Mo Williams, and young rookies of the same age, Zach LaVine.

Just like just now, listening to Lu Deng's speech, the expressions on their faces were still different.

Rubio smiled openly and sincerely, his handsome face was filled with the expression of "I can't wait to pass the ball to him", listening to Lu Deng's speech, it seemed that he was waiting for a long-awaited friend.

Zach LaVine's expression was critical, and for a moment, Lu Deng made eye contact with him, but he arrogantly avoided it! His eyes are like those of Jabari Parker in Summer League.

It can be seen that the No. 13 rookie is unconvinced by Lu Deng. Perhaps, he is waiting for the opportunity to compete with Lu Deng: see who is faster, who is more accurate, who jumps higher!

Whether it is Rubio's expectation or Zach LaVine's unconvinced, in Lu Deng's eyes, it is hope!

"Expectation" means unity and cooperation, and "unconvinced" means high morale. He wasn't worried about the two of them, he was worried about the others.

Pekovic, who looked like a big white bear, had such a languid face that he seemed to want to find a place to sleep at any time.

Brewer and Mo-William Moss pouted and shook their heads from time to time, like an old hairy boy playing treasure! What is written on his face is clear: "How deep the rivers and lakes are, you little hairy child knows a fart!" Don't look at your current 'pony at first glance the road is narrow', it won't take a few days to see the master fight the world. ”

In addition to them, more players showed indifference.

"Hurry up and finish speaking, I'll make milk powder for my children when I go back", or "What you said one by one, I don't know if I can stay before the league starts, what to talk about 'fighting side by side'?" ”

I have to say that Lu Deng's heart is not happy.

Really, compared to the Cavaliers' hand, the Timberwolves' hand is terrible! Two is not a pair, no is a smooth! There are no flowers!

After the meeting ended, Sanders temporarily wanted to gather the players for a meeting, and only said a few words to Lu Deng, and in a blink of an eye, five or six players had already left the stadium, Pekovic shouted "sleepy" when he left, and Mo Williams answered the phone: "Which bar?" ”……

Old man Sanders shook his head and said to Lu Deng: "Forget it, there will be no meeting, let Ryan take you, Anthony and Thaddeus to visit the stadium, go to the locker room to distribute the locker cabinet, you can also go back to rest, and officially start training at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

Lu Deng saw Sanders's helplessness, and the old man was helpless against this bad card.

……

Ryan Anderson took Ludden, Thaddeus Young and Anthony Bennett around to see the game's main stadium, office area, conference room, media room, home and away team locker rooms, as well as the training hall, power room, parking lot, and evacuation access next to the arena.

In the locker room, Ryan assigned lockers to three people. Bennett's locker was leaning against the door, and Thaddeus Young was in the middle.

Lu Deng's locker room is in the innermost, which was used by Kevin Love in the past, and there is an empty cabinet next to it, which is equivalent to Lu Deng's occupation of two people's seats. The space is larger, so it is convenient for reporters to come in occasionally for interviews.

In the past, they interviewed Lefou, and I am afraid that more reporters will interview Lu Deng in the future, because it is said that now there are more than 8 Chinese reporters who have signed up to follow the team, and the Timberwolves have never had more than 5 reporters.

Separated from Lu Deng is Rubio.

You can see the status of the team from the layout, and the more you go inside, the higher the status. It seems that the team's management has regarded Lu Deng as the core.

Lu Deng was satisfied, but Bennett was not very comfortable. But he is self-aware, Lu Deng is the protagonist, he is nothing more than a giveaway for the trade! It's just an add-on.

Lu Dengli saw that Bennett was unhappy, and took the initiative to find him: "Otherwise, let's change the locker room, it's more comfortable inside." And I am optimistic that you will be able to make a name for yourself, and in the future, a large group of reporters will be around you for interviews, and there is a lot of space inside. ”

When Bennett heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "I won't change it with you, it's the best here, it's easy to get in and out." ”

Although Bennett's reason is far-fetched, the refusal is sincere: if you can't exchange it with anyone, you can't exchange it with Lu Deng, how can you make him suffer? In the whole league, there is no one better than him!

The position of the locker is determined by status, and I will definitely make a name for myself and make the team look up and down to me.
