Chapter 220: Challenge the Timberwolves
I don't know how long it took, everyone arrived in Minnesota, Luan Jiye was also woken up by Green, picked up his travel bag, and followed the team off the plane, it was the middle of the night, so the players went to the hotel where they stayed first, and they had a good rest tonight, and then met with the Timberwolves players tomorrow.
......
After a night without words, Luan Jiye woke up, Luan Jiye felt that his legs could be strengthened, after a simple wash, he had breakfast with his teammates in the hotel, and then he was taken to the target center arena, where the Timberwolves players were training.
Luan Jiye has little interest in players such as Downs and Butler, he is interested in meeting Rose and Xiaobu, Xiaobu also was teammates with Yao Ming, and once squeezed out the "Little Steel Cannon" Lowry in the Rockets, and was rated as the fastest improved player at that time.
When they arrived at the target center, the Rockets walked in and came to the training hall, and saw that the Timberwolves players were also training.
At this time, Tom Thibodeau, the head coach of the Timberwolves, saw the Rockets players coming in, so he asked everyone to pause, and then went over to shake hands with D'Antoni, and then the players also began to greet each other, Luan Jiye of course took the initiative to talk to Brooks.
"Mr. Brooks!" Luan Jiye said.
As soon as Aaron Brooks turned around and saw that it was Luan Jiye, he also smiled and said, "You are Luan, fortunately, I will be lucky!" ”
"Don't be so polite to me, you're a senior, I watched your games when I was a kid!" Luan Jiye said with a smile.
"But, you are the future of basketball, I am almost out of ball, think about the previous time in the Rockets, Scola, Artest, Yao, Maddie, that time with the Rockets, it was really my happiest time in the NBA!" Brooks said, with longing in his words, and a little envy for Luan Jiye.
"Well, but no matter what, you're still the Brooks in my heart!" Luan Jiye said.
"Thank you for your support, I didn't expect me to have fans!" Brooks also joked that the two quickly got together and became good friends, but not necessarily on the field.
After a short greeting, everyone went to practice, making final preparations for tonight's game, Luan Jiye is also looking forward to using dream steps today, although he has just started to learn, but it has roughly taken shape.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the game officially started, and the target stadium was also full of fans, and at this time, in the broadcast room, O'Neal, Barkley, and Smith had already begun to predict today's game, and they were all very excited (these two guys are very excited every day).
"Shaq! Who do you think will win this game tonight? Barkley asked, Barkley was the one who once kissed the donkey's butt because of Yao Ming.
"Of course I'm optimistic about the Rockets now, you must know that when Luan was in the Lakers at that time, he showed the demeanor of a leader, and I believe that in the Rockets, he may replace James Harden as the soul of the Rockets at any time!" O'Neill said.
"I don't want to kiss the ass of a donkey." Barkley said with a bitter face.
At the beginning of the game, the starting lineup on the Timberwolves side was: Towns, Wiggins, Gibson, Butler, Crawford.
The Rockets have not changed here, Capela and Downs stood in the midfield ready to fight for the ball, the referee saw that the two people were ready, and then blew the whistle and threw the ball up, Capela and Downs jumped up at the same time to fight for the ball, Downs fought for the ball successfully, Wiggins in the back received the ball and passed it to Butler, Butler faced Luan Jiye, Luan Jiye was also very attentive to defense, Butler wanted to use his footstep advantage to shake Luan Jiye, how could Luan Jiye use his dream footsteps in the past two days, and the next game was a lot more flexible!
Butler had no choice but to pass the ball to Crawford, Crawford faced Harden, Crawford has been in the NBA for many years, and has more experience than Harden, but this is no longer his time, the NBA has been renewed several times, and there are only a handful of old players left.
Harden waved his arm a few times, and he actually broke the ball! Harden hurriedly ran over to pick up the ball, and then sprinted with the ball, Luan Jiye followed, Harden knew that Luan Jiye was behind him, feinted to make a layup, and threw the ball to Luan Jiye behind, Luan Jiye was also very powerful, jumped up to catch the ball, and then dunked into the basket fiercely!
Although it is the home court of the Timberwolves, there are still cheers, Luan Jiye let go of the basket and high-fives Harden, Luan Jiye is now half a soul figure, and the current Luan Jiye is more terrifying and fierce than Luan Jiye of the Lakers!
At this time, Cui Fan'er, who was in front of the TV, was also very excited to see Luan Jiye's perfect goal, and Cui's father was at home today, and he was also very excited to see Luan Jiye's goal, and Hu Hanying in China was also very excited, Zhang Chunming saw his son's perfect performance, and the feeling that had been lost for a long time seemed to be back!
