Minnesota was much more welcoming than it was in Cleveland. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The plane landed safely at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The moment Lu Deng and the others stepped out of the plane, they felt the enthusiasm of the Wolves.

Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor and his wife, small owner, president, director of basketball operations and head coach Philip Saunders, general manager Milton, and assistant coach Ryan Anderson are already waiting below.

Lu Deng was a little moved, looking at the enthusiasm of others, Cao Cao greeted Xu Yu barefoot, right? I don't know, I thought the head of a certain country was coming!

Mrs. Taylor personally presented Lu Deng with a bouquet of flowers and veneers.

The old man Sanders smiled and hugged Lu Deng. Then he took out a Timberwolves badge from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it to Lu Deng: "I rushed back from out of town to greet you temporarily, and I didn't have time to prepare a gift, this badge is for you." ”

Lu Deng took the badge with the old man's body temperature, he was very excited and grateful, the half-black and half-white wolf head looked extremely ferocious.

From now on, I'm a Timberwolves!

In fact, putting aside the Timberwolves' achievements, Lu Deng's logo, badge, and jersey color are all favorites.

Wolves have already arranged a hotel for Lu Deng and the others in the city of Apolis in Mingbo.

Lu Deng and the others temporarily settled down in the hotel, and Sanders asked Milton to arrange a rental for Lu Deng.

After obtaining Sanders' consent, Lu Deng called Sanders according to the Chinese custom: "Uncle Sang", and Sanders laughed happily.

Lu Deng asked Sanders: "Uncle Sang, I won't be traded by you for the time being, right?" ”

Sanders was stunned, and Lu Deng hurriedly said: "If you don't have a plan to trade me, I can concentrate on buying a house and settling down in Mingcheng!" ”

Sanders laughed: "Don't worry, if you don't leave, I will never trade you!" I've seen videos of you playing and you're going to be the absolute heart of the team! Cleveland sent you, I think David's head must have been gnawed by a donkey! ”

Lu Deng, Gu Tingcheng and Zhou Zhongjing Huanan and others all burst out laughing, and Zhou Zhongjing said: "This sentence in China is, 'The head was kicked by a donkey'!" ”

Fat Wei couldn't understand what they were saying, so he pulled Huanan to translate.

According to the plan, the team will hold a welcome party for Lu Deng the next day, and all the players will arrive. Sanders asked Lu Deng to prepare himself and get ready to speak.

Lu Deng said: "Talking to your family, why do you need to prepare, don't worry, Uncle Sang." ”

Sanders patted Lu Deng on the shoulder, although it was the first time they met today, they really liked this child.

The accommodation is not too far from the target arena where the team is located.

He and Fat Wei's car had been consigned to Mingcheng at night.

Lu Deng drove into the car and took Gu Tingcheng, and Zhou Zhongjing drove with Fat Wei, Wei Yi and Wei Er, loaded the gifts for the team into the car, and quickly came to the target center under the guidance of the hotel guide car.

To Lu Deng's flattery, a huge poster of Lu Deng was hung outside the target center arena. The following sentence is in Chinese: Lu Deng, welcome to Mingzhou!

"Look, that's sincerity!" As he spoke, Fat Wei took a photo and sent it to the editor of Wushang Basketball.

Led by Glenn Taylor, Wolves owners Taylor and Saunders were waiting outside the arena, and when they saw Lu Deng's car, they hurriedly stepped forward to meet the door. Lu Deng was flattered.

Basketball reporters from four media, including China Television, Xinhua News Agency, Sports, and Sina, have also rushed to the target center in advance. They and Lu Deng are old acquaintances and have greeted each other.

Lu Deng beckoned and shouted Wei Yiwei Er: "Come, take out the gifts." Up for grabs. Boss, Uncle Sang, you must not have imagined what gifts I brought for you. A few of you in the media, you have it, wait. ”

Wei Yiwei dragged over the two large bags, opened them, and Lu Deng took out a Lei Feng hat from it - yes, it was the kind of "locomotive" cotton hat worn in northern China. Hand them to everyone one by one, everyone has them!

"A hat with Chinese characteristics, I heard that it is very cold in winter, wear this, and ensure frost resistance!"

When a few Chinese reporters saw this, they were too kind and nostalgic!

They put it on and try it out, and the hat ears are pulled down, not to mention how cool it is.

The foreigners also wore it on their heads in the same way, and many of them wore it upside down. Under the guidance of Lu Deng and others, he came over.

Although it is not the season to wear this hat, there are many praises for this gift!

The welcome ceremony was held in the stadium, which had been renovated, and when I entered the stadium, I realized that in addition to the management and players, there were also many local fans, a full four or five hundred people.

Fat Wei didn't expect so many people to come, and stuck out his tongue: "This is much more spectacular than the welcome ceremony in Cleveland!" But we didn't bring enough gifts, only the players and coaches. ”

Lu Deng said: "How many T-shirts do you bring with Wushang Basketball? ”

"That's a lot! All in the hotel. ”

Lu Deng said: "Before the welcome ceremony, bring hats to the players, coaches and staff, and after the ceremony, give T-shirts to the fans! Now let people go to the hotel to pick it up! ”

Fat Wei nodded.

The protagonists of the welcome ceremony were Lu Deng, Bennett and Thaddeus Young.

Bennett's team had already arrived. Bennett saw Lu Deng and hugged each other fiercely.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay?"

"Good, good!" Lu Deng shoved some of the hat in his hand into Bennett's hand. "Come, help me send it to the other brothers."

Luden took Bennett and handed out the hat to all the players present, Rubio, Pekovic, Brewer, Zach LaVine, Mo Williams and so on.

Lu Deng said to everyone: "This is a small gift that Anthony Bennett and I brought to you from Cleveland, it is not a respect, please take care of it." ”

Bennett was especially grateful, and people remembered to bring gifts to everyone, and when they sent them, it was the two of us.

What a fight!

However, compared to the enthusiasm of the management and staff, the expressions on the faces of the players when they received the gifts were different.

Like Rubio, he looked very kind and happy, holding his hat and looking over and over. However, people like Mo Williams, Brewer and Thaddeus Young were a little absent-minded and casually said "thank you"!

"The cohesion is too poor!" This was the first thing that came to Luden's mind.

And no wonder!

The Timberwolves haven't made the playoffs for many years, and the iron-clad battalion is a flowing soldier, you're gone, I'm here, I can't fight the name, and I'm all passing by!

That's how a team that loses all the time, there's no team culture at all, most people are just colleagues, everyone is worried about where I'm going next, how can I win?

Moreover, the Timberwolves' card is too bad, Rubio's shooting is too bad, and Pekovic is fat out of the lifebuoy! Alas, it's really hard to win!
