"He's never going to win a championship? Originally, everyone thought that this was a joke from Coach Z, a slogan, no one would be serious, but when Coach Z and Phil Jackson both said this sentence, it was obvious that this was no longer a simple joke, obviously, both of them were serious, and at present, this year's championship is very likely to be produced between these two people, then one of the two will inevitably break their promise, which will be an extremely shameful thing, the whole world is now looking at this matter, and the two have no way back, Maybe it's really an interesting thing for us to watch over Phil Jackson and Coach Z."

As time progresses, the NBA schedule is getting deeper and deeper, and naturally the form of the NBA is becoming more and more clear for many people, they already know very well what the biggest attraction of this year's NBA is, and what is the focus of this year. The drama has just begun.

In fact, if the Lakers vs. the Timberwolves this season is the main theme, then the same is true on another stage, in the All-Star held by the Washington Wizards this year, the All-Star voting in the West is also the main theme of the Lakers and the Timberwolves. And Wang Zhizhi's beating O'Neal to get the center position in the West made O'Neal think that it was one of the biggest shames in his life, and he wanted to get back this season. But to the surprise of many people, Wang Zhizhi was still able to suppress O'Neal in the All-Star vote this time.

Wang Zhizhi averaged 8.5 points and 4.4 rebounds per game this season, and played 24.5 points per game. It can be said that Wang Zhizhi this season has improved a lot compared to last season, and now he is firmly the No. 3 person in the Timberwolves' interior line, the No. 2 person in the Timberwolves lineup, and is already one of the most important players of the Timberwolves, but even if he is important to the Timberwolves, he is just a Timberwolves Supplement player, and O'Neal, a god-level center who can contribute 26 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks per game, is too much worse. Wang Zhizhi still beat O'Neal to become the center of the Western All-Stars, and the difference between the votes between the two is an astonishing '100,000 votes', O'Neal, who was going to wash away the shame again, was humiliated again, and this time it was humiliated.

Last year, many American experts believed that China, a poor and backward country, had only been hot for the NBA for a year, and it would definitely not last long. The NBA's main Chinese card will make David Stern lose a lot, but from the current point of view, David Stern is more accurate than these so-called experts, the Chinese team's popularity of the NBA is not only a year's heat, this kind of continuous attention makes David Stern extremely amazed, because this year's All-Star votes sent from China have basically increased by 50%, which also makes David Stern have to deal with some ' If you don't delete the votes, all the Western All-Stars this year will be Timberwolves players, which is very disadvantageous for the NBA, but no matter what deletion method David Stern uses, there is no way for O'Neal's votes to overpower Wang Zhizhi.

Of course, for these bloodthirsty media, they have plenty of reason to question such an outcome, but for the Timberwolves, they lost half of their position in the matchup with the Lakers over the team's win. But in this respect, it is completely overwhelming.

If O'Neal's loss to Wang Zhizhi is very frustrating, then Kobe Bryant and Szczebiak's successive defeats to Nash and Garnett are a bit discouraged by Lakers fans, for the Lakers this is the second year in a row that they have not had a player enter the NBA lineup, which is difficult to accept for the league's No. 1 team in a megacity, which also makes many Lakers fans with a sense of urban superiority sad. …,

The results of this year's All-Star announced by the league on February 3 made many Lakers fans sad, but it was also a little gratifying for them that Phil Jackson became the head coach of the Western All-Star, in fact, this season before January 31, the first in the West was still the Timberwolves, but last season the head coach of the Timberwolves Zhuang Fei was already an All-Star head coach, and the All-Star stipulated that a coach should not coach the All-Star continuously. This also allowed Phil Jackson to get this opportunity, so even if Phil Jackson got this opportunity, the famous coach still couldn't be happy, and he couldn't be happy

"Kevin, I really envy you"

The Timberwolves players in the Timberwolves' training gym now look relaxed, they didn't have much pressure after they just lost to the Lakers the day before yesterday, this is what the head coach said, don't care about winning or losing a game, no matter how the game passes, and the Timberwolves' current state is actually very good and there is no need to adjust, it's just that the Lakers are lucky to shoot the shot, and the All-Star lineup announced by the league The Timberwolves have three selected again, Nash, Garnett, Wang Zhizhi and all three were selected as last season, In fact, there is no change in the West from last season, the other two are forward Duncan and guard Carter, Carter is still the ticket king of this year by a big margin, this guard swingman is now not only an American idol because of his super performance in the Olympics, but also a world-class idol, so now there is almost no one in the NBA who can compare with him in popularity, as for the Timberwolves' player Paul Pierce lost to Duncan again this time, and this time it was very depressed and only lost 10,000 votes.

Garnett and Nash and other Timberwolves players looked at Xiao Ao with a depressed face and were also very sympathetic, Xiao Ao is actually very unlucky, as the center of the team, his patch was able to enter the All-Star and he didn't even have a vote, this time the vote Xiao Ao only had a pitiful 500 votes, it was not as good as Dean Garrett, who was not on the shortlist, was the least of all the Timberwolves rotation players, of course he knew what the reason was, and his ability was not to be a reason, The most important thing is that there is no Chinese ticket warehouse, according to his agent, he is simply hacked in China, and he is completely a cancerous figure who hinders Wang Zhizhi's growth, and he is too much worse than a player like Nash who won the 'Friend of China' because of his pass to Wang Zhizhi.

For Xiao Ao to complain about the Timberwolves other players are actually very embarrassing, because they have no way to say anything, they are the opposite of Xiao Ao, they are the beneficiaries, especially Nash, now this point guard is one of the most popular NBA players in China, much better than Garnett and Pierce can be compared with Carter, this time the All-Star dumped Kobe Bryant 150,000 votes.

"By the way, Kevin, you're now down to third place in the latest MVP rankings"

O'Neal Jr. is now depressed and the same Garnett as Little O'Neal, this year's MVP ranking is too weird, as long as the Timberwolves lose their first position in the league, Garnett will be overtaken by Carter and O'Neal, as long as the Timberwolves climb to the top of the list, then Garnett will also reach the top, in fact, Garnett understands this phenomenon very well, now his data is much worse than the other two, and now his only advantage is the team's record this season and the bonus given to him by winning the MVP of the finals last season, If you lose the first place in the league, you are likely to lose the regular season MVP this season, but it is extremely difficult to win the first place in the regular season this year, and the Lakers are too big this year.

All the Timberwolves players were silent when Nash said this, and this season the team seems to be on a par with the Lakers, and everything needs to compete with the Lakers, which is also the first time for these Timberwolves players. …,

"No matter, now we only have ourselves to do our best, we must not make any more mistakes, we can't expect what happens to the opponent," Garnett sighed after a moment of silence, and the other Timberwolves players also nodded.

Timberwolves players want to compete with the Lakers to the end, in fact, this is not just their words, after losing to the Lakers to the All-Star 4 games before the Timberwolves embarked on a winning streak, and these four games whether it is facing the supersonic of the playoffs, the Bucks or facing the garbage team Cavaliers and Warriors, the Timberwolves are extremely focused, it is obvious that the players of this team have entered the sprint stage in advance, and the general NBA team sprint is after the All-Star, And before the All-Star is often the time of frequent upsets. After all, the All-Star is going on vacation, and not every team can consciously enter the state like the Timberwolves.

On February 8th, 1 day before the All-Star, the Lakers lost on their home court, and the loss was still the twelfth Celtics in the East, this game Maddie and Anthony Walker scored 88 points together, you must know that before the victory over the Lakers, the Celtics had lost six in a row, no one thought that the Celtics could fight again, and the hearts of Lakers players were ready to go to Washington to participate in the All-Star.

The win also saw the Boston Celtics beat the Lakers twice this season. It is also the only team in the league to double beat the Lakers.

As a result, the Timberwolves once again ranked first in the West. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
