At 3 a.m. on June 15, 2000, outside the Minnesota airport, the night sky that should have been silent became a little restless and anxious, and the tens of thousands of people gathered here today made the local police department busy, and these fans from all over Minnesota gathered here with only one purpose, and that was to welcome their heroes on their triumphant return from Indianapolis.

It's the first NBA trophy in Minnesota history, and this trophy means so much to the people here, maybe that's everything for these fans.

Marquette is a police officer in Minnesota, if in normal times he must be at home guarding his newborn son to sleep, but today he had to wait at the airport all night, in fact, a few hours ago, Marquette was still on duty at the Timberwolves' home target center, although today's game was not played in the target center, but the target center is still far away from many fans, these fans can't go to Indianapolis for various reasons, but they came to the square outside the center, Then they cheered on the team outside the target center as if they were the team's home game, they wanted the team to feel their support, and it was clear that they succeeded, the team won the championship trophy, and they came to the airport directly from the square outside the target center, ready to greet these fighters who brought them great honor and pride.

Marquette looked at his zone and found that nothing had changed, which gave him a slight sigh of relief, as he hadn't been home since he came out of the house in the morning. Now the police station is not able to work shifts at all, all the police force is dispatched, and even a lot of community police have been transferred from some other small places, but even so. Facing the dense crowd of Timberwolves fans outside the airport who are close to 100,000 like ants, they still feel a little small.

Although it was very hard today, but Marquette also felt that he was very happy, if it weren't for the tolerance this time, he would not have been able to stay here at this time to meet the Timberwolves, thinking that his wife Marquette was loving and annoyed, it was impossible for her to let herself 'abandon his wife and children' get up in the middle of the night and squat for a few games, now it's okay, finally have a good reason.

"The plane with the Timberwolves is coming," Marquette was thrilled to think of him, and he was a die-hard Timberwolves fan. He could understand the mood of the nearly 100,000 people now, and as the time drew closer, it was clear that the air here had become restless and restless. Anticipation and apprehension.

"It's coming, it's coming, the planes are coming, and the bands in a few shows are already getting ready to play"

Suddenly, a middle-aged black man in his forties ran out of the airport and shouted to the crowd with a happy face, and the tens of thousands of fans outside the airport seemed to explode, and all the places that seemed a little quiet just now became noisy.

For them, they can't get into the tarmac at the airport. The only people who greeted the Timberwolves from the plane on the tarmac were the Minnesota governor and police chief, the speaker, members of the legislature and a few Timberwolves club staff, plus more than a hundred fans selected from among the Timberwolves' package owners this season. Although they couldn't see the Timberwolves getting up and down the plane for the first time, they were still extremely excited. It's like you're already waiting on the tarmac.

Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves players still didn't feel any fatigue or exhaustion after a period of madness in Indianapolis, and at this time everyone was already thinking about what kind of pose or shape they should take when they stepped off the plane. For the young players of the Timberwolves, although they are extremely mature in terms of playing style, they are still only young in terms of personality, Zhuang Fei and D'Antoni only smiled when they looked at the Timberwolves players who had begun to dress up like crazy on the plane, but the team owner in front of Zhuang Fei, Glenn Taylor, made Zhuang Fei feel funny. …,

The big boss was very depressed at the Conseco Stadium and was robbed by Zhuang Fei of the opportunity to take the trophy from Stern, this time he was the first to get off the plane anyway, and the person holding the trophy also needs him, he is now preparing for the general election in Minnesota, this is an excellent opportunity to canvass votes, he can not mind the Timberwolves players squeezing him out at Conseco Stadium, but this time it is estimated that no one can stop him, this guy has now hugged O'Brien tightly in his arms, not allowing anyone to interfere, even if his assistant wanted to help him, he refused.

"Zhuang, it's here" D'Antoni said softly, Zhuang Fei also nodded a little nervously, he also felt it.

Originally, there were only more than 100 fans on the tarmac to welcome the Timberwolves up and down, and it would be too chaotic to have more, but what made the staff of the Timberwolves club a little laughable was that although they only had more than 100 places, when they came here, they found that there were thousands of people waiting on the tarmac, and they didn't know how these people came here, and even the governor of Minnesota, who welcomed the return of the Timberwolves, was very puzzled, when the plane docked at the airport, these governors, the director, the speaker of the parliament were all devoured by these crazy fans.

The plane door opened, the bridge was built, and when Glenn Taylor smiled and walked out of the plane with the O'Brien Cup, all the Timberwolves fans were stunned at first, obviously they didn't think that the first one to come out would be the boss, but even if there was some surprise, but when they saw the yellow trophy in the boss's hand, these people all let go of the doubts in their hearts, and then let out a huge cheer.

Obviously, most of this huge cheer was given to the trophy, which was something they had never dreamed of in their dreams, but now it has all come true, and Glenn Taylor didn't care so much, he thought it was the fans welcoming him, and then the big boss of the Timberwolves held the trophy in one hand and waved to the fans below with the other, very similar to the posture of 'comrades have worked hard' during a military parade in a certain country, Glenn Taylor walked very slowly, just waving at the plane door took four or five minutes. This made McHale behind him embarrassed for a while, and the two veterans behind McHale, Dean Garrett and Mitchell, were even more funny.

This time, the order of the Timberwolves players is that the boss general manager is ahead, Zhuang Fei and Garnett are behind, Zhuang Fei must know that Glenn Taylor will play a lot of tricks. He didn't want to follow him like a clown, it was obvious that Zhuang Fei's choice was very wise, McHale regretted dying now, he had known that he would have stayed behind like Zhuang Fei, he now had the heart to strangle Glenn Taylor, Glenn Taylor now doesn't care what McHale behind him thinks, the big boss just walked down the ladder of the plane took a full fifteen minutes, and Zhuang Fei didn't get up from his seat until Garnett walked to the door of the plane. Then he followed Garnett, apparently as Glenn Taylor had stepped down the ladder while Glenn Taylor shook hands with the embarrassed Mr. Governor while some photojournalists were taking pictures of them.

For the fans, they are indeed here to greet their heroes. But among these heroes, they also have tendencies, and their love for the team's head coach and the team's three cores will naturally be higher than Glenn Taylor's, and when Pierce appeared in front of them, there was another one on the scene, and Nash, who was followed by Pierce, made this trend continue, and when Garnett appeared in front of them with the Finals MVP trophy. The fans in the audience chanted MVP. It's clear that Garnett is by far the biggest sensation to come, and it's really exciting for Garnett, who has proven to be the favorite player among Timberwolves fans, considering that he was an outcast from fans two seasons ago because of the brain-dead contract he signed. Now that his image and status in the hearts of Timberwolves fans have been re-established because of this championship, Garnett hasn't been excited for long. When his head coach appeared behind him, it was clear that the Timberwolves boss almost fell off the ladder, and if the cheer was 100. Then when Zhuang Fei appeared, this one hundred had to be added to the back. …,

"It seems that the coach of this team will always be the most popular" Garnett couldn't help but think sourly, of course, in addition to some pantothenic acid, there is also a strong admiration, maybe in the NBA, only his own coach will receive such an honor.

Zhuang Fei walked at the back of the team, he knew that as the finale of the team would be greeted with very warm cheers, but when he really walked out of the plane, he was still startled, Zhuang Fei of course didn't know that Garnett in front of him was jealous of himself, he still tried his best to keep himself smiling, and then waved his arms to these Timberwolves diehard fans like Glenn Taylor just now, and when he saw Zhuang Fei greeting them, the atmosphere of the scene was even higher. Even Zhuang Fei saw a lot of fans waving a lot of banners, any text on these banners would make Zhuang Fei embarrassed for a long time, "NBA No. 1 head coach", "God on the courtside" and other slogans all flew to Zhuang Fei with the banner waving.

Zhuang Fei was really moved by the enthusiasm of these fans, originally in Zhuang Fei's estimation, the Timberwolves fans would come to the airport to greet them frantically, but when Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves players walked out of the airport, they were completely stunned, this is no longer crazy can be described, the ant-like crowd outside even made Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves players think that it is not the whole city of Minnesota, how can so many people come to the scene.

"Zhuang, this is even crazier than when you returned to North Carolina," D'Antoni next to Zhuang Fei said a little stunned, while Zhuang Fei nodded.

"Yes, it's really crazy," Zhuang Fei said with a wry smile in his heart.

This is a scene that Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves players will never forget, there are many fans who are very enthusiastic, which makes Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves players stay here for nearly two hours, until the Minnesota sky is white, Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves players got on the team's bus, even so, there is a group of fans who followed the Timberwolves club directly from the airport, it is obvious that these people are still unsatisfied.

"Coach, I vowed to win a championship trophy for the Spurs last season when we lost to them, and now I've finally done it" Garnett looked at the fans who were still following him outside the bus and fell into deep thought, obviously this new Finals MVP remembered the playoffs that made the Timberwolves players grow last season, when the Timberwolves returned to Minnesota with great frustration after the defeat in San Antonio, but when they stepped off the plane, they found that there were still tens of thousands of Minnesota fans to greet them, Treating them as the heroes of the team, that incident also touched Garnett very much, it can be said that they can grow so fast and are so hungry for championships has a lot to do with these simple fans.

"yes, Kevin, you're not going to cry like you were last year," Pierce quipped, although he said it lightly, but last year's poor defense against the Spurs was counted out by the league for a whole season, but in Minnesota, no one scolded him or abandoned him, and Pierce was extremely affectionate towards these people.

"Their expectations are just the beginning for us, we can do more and more for them, we can win more championships for them, let's take this year as the team to a new era" Zhuang Fei also looked back at the fans who were still following the bus and said, at this time the Timberwolves players fell into contemplation again.

"This is just the beginning, and we can give them more?" Garnett and Pierce were reminiscing about Zhuang Fei's words, and it was clear that these Timberwolves players seemed to understand something.

"Coach, I know, I'll let them greet us like this next year," Pierce said with a cautious face, since one champion can make them so happy, what about two? Zhuang Fei looked at Pierce's appearance and nodded with a smile. And Garnett on one side is also with him.

"Coach, we can bring more beautiful games to them, haven't we averaged 117 points per game this season? Then next season, we will directly average 127 points per game" Unlike Pierce Garnett's pursuit of more championships, Nash is very interested in team scoring and beautiful play, Zhuang Fei looked at the excited Nash is smiling and nodding again, Nash is now thinking that the team scores more means that his teammates score more, and his teammates will naturally be happy when they score more, teammates will be happy, teammates will be happy, fans will be happy, then he himself is happy, it can be said that in Nash's heart is still playing for others.

However, at this time, Zhuang Fei did not mean to criticize Nash.

Who's going to play just for themselves? Maybe that's better for Nash. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
