The first day of the regular season is over.

Minnesota fans are already in the midst of a frenzy.

Someone asked, the Timberwolves just won one regular season game, what's there to celebrate? This is just one of 82 regular-season games.

But only Minnesota fans who watched the game know what they were cheering for.

The big win over the Warriors by 30+ is certainly a happy thing, but the most exciting thing for fans is the rookie of the Timberwolves.

A high school player scored 40+ nearly 50 points in the first regular season game of his rookie season.

This kind of fantastical thing really happened in the target center arena.

If it weren't for the Timberwolves' coach replacing the rookie off the court in the last quarter, everyone believed that the rookie would be able to get 50+.

In today's era, let alone 50+, 40+ or even 30+ is an extremely difficult thing.

The last player to score 40+ in his rookie season was the 76ers' non-sale, the '96 No. 1 pick, Allen Iverson.

But Iverson was already a relatively mature college player when he entered the league, and Wu Dao, who also scored 40+ points in a single game in his rookie season, was just a high school player!

And from the perspective of ordinary fans, the physical talent of martial arts is undoubtedly "far surpassing" Iverson.

Minnesota fans were thrilled and even crazy by the amazing performance of Martial Arts, and those who watched Martial Arts that night were already looking to the future, believing that that player could take Minnesota to the next level!

The next day, the local media began to hype up the matter.

"The Most Successful Draft Deal in History, Minnesota Welcomes a Savior!" 》

Early in the morning, a newspaper with the above content as the headline appeared in the public eye.

The local media in Minnesota began to brag about how wise the Timberwolves' management was, how strong their martial arts abilities were, and how terrifying their talent was.

Overnight, Minnesotan fans' original caution, Garnett, suddenly became unpleasant, and all the print media invariably ignored Garnett's terrifying data of 26 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks in a single game yesterday.

began to frantically promote the single game of 40+ of the rookie martial arts.

For the past 8 years, the Timberwolves have been struggling at the bottom of the league, not to mention wanting to win the championship, and even the playoffs are their obstacles.

But the arrival of martial arts has made all fans see hope.

The high school rookie slashed 40+, and after a night and a day of fermentation, it finally had some practical effects.

On 11.1 On this day, the tickets for the Timberwolves' home game against the Hornets were directly swept away by fanatical fans in just a few minutes after the tickets were opened.

Minnesota is a small-ball city, and although the fans are enthusiastic enough, the Timberwolves' record has been too much to collapse.

It's been a long time since the Timberwolves management has seen a scene like this.

In the evening, the arena of the target center was full.

Many fans want to see for themselves whether the rookie who got 40+ is really so powerful as advocated by the media!

"Hey, gentlemen, look, our Savior of Minnesota is here!"

Player locker room in the Target Center Arena.

Wu Dao was carrying his bag, and he had just walked into the lounge when he heard Garnett's strange voice.

Then, Garnett applauded and walked to the side of the martial arts, yin and yang:

"Mr. Savior, today, please continue to lead us to win!"

Wu Dao glanced at Garnett, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile, "No problem. ”

Seeing that Wu Dao really responded unashamedly, Garnett choked suddenly.

When he opened his mouth and was about to say something, he heard Philip Saunders clapping his hands and interrupting:

"Okay, don't joke, let's be serious."

"Basketball is a team sport, and you can only win if you work together."

"Yesterday's game, everyone played very well and kept the momentum going."

Saying that, Philip Saunders also walked to Martial Dao's side, patted Martial Dao's arm, and said:

"Martial arts, yesterday's game didn't let you play the full four quarters, don't take it to heart."

"As a player, the team's victory is the most important thing!"

After yesterday's fight, Philip Sanders talked about it from after the game to today, and he was afraid that a young man like Martial Arts would be obsessed with what records and complain about him.

It's not like Philip Saunders isn't unaware of how important a so-called record can be for a rookie like Budo. He just hoped that the martial arts could be pure, and not focus on those things.

Basketball, after all, depends on victory or defeat.

Hearing Philip Sanders' words, Garnett also walked away quietly and silently, and the other players in the lounge also quieted down for a while, silently looking at Wu Dao and Philip Sanders.

Although Garnett is not very good at dealing with Martial Arts, he feels that Martial Arts' mouth is too poisonous, and he has no respect for "old-timers" like him at all.

But for Philip Saunders's approach yesterday, Garnett is still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Wu Dao has already scored 40+ in the third quarter of the game, and seeing that he can easily exceed 50 points, if he works hard in the fourth quarter, maybe 60 points will not be a problem.

It's a great opportunity for a player.

However, Philip Saunders changed the martial arts in the final quarter, and he was only one kick away from 50 points.

If it were Garnett, this matter would have been depressed for a long time.

Although Garnett has Yin Yang Martial Arts in his mouth, he also feels sorry for Martial Arts in this matter.

"Coach Philip Saunders, you're talking about this kind of thing again."

"I already told you yesterday, I don't care."

"I really don't care if it's recorded or not."

"As long as the team can win, it's fine."

"I know very well that in competitive sports, only the championship is absolute, and nothing else means anything."

Hearing Philip Saunders talk about this again, Wu Dao couldn't help but feel a little helpless, he was not a stall, and he cared so much about data.

Besides, does it really make any sense to record what is not recorded?

As long as the prefix is added enough, the 40+ of martial arts is the same as "the first in history".

For example, the first player in NBA history to score 40+ in the first game of the regular season in his rookie season.

You see, customization first, is it interesting?

He won't be like some people, saying that two sub-is equal to one crown, so Ah Tan is the first in history.

Wudao's goal now is very clear, firstly, to sit firmly in the starter, and secondly, to enter the playoffs, and on this basis, look forward to the Western Conference finals and even the championship.

The meal had to be eaten one bite at a time, and Ruth had to take it one step at a time.

No matter how many points you score in a single game, no matter how many fans you bragged, without a championship, you are still a fart.

You see that when the basketball big Vs of later generations ranked the historical status of the NBA, some discussed Jordan and Russell, some discussed Kobe Bryant and Duncan, and some discussed Ah Tan and elementary school students.

But when were people talking, when was Iverson discussed, when was Maddie discussed?

Is it that these two people are not strong enough in their personal abilities? Or did the two of them not have enough fans when they were in their prime?

Neither, for the simple reason that there is no championship.

In the NBA, the championship is 1, and all the other messy honors, what regular season MVP, FMVP, first team, second team, DPOY, are just 0 behind that 1.

Without that 1, you're still nothing.

Therefore, the martial arts that have been baptized in the streaming era have always been very open, and his goal is to have and only a champion!

It's just that although Wu Dao thinks so, he can't stop Philip Saunders from believing it!

While preparing for the game in the lounge, Philip Saunders brought it up anyway.

Wu Dao was also a little annoyed by the noise, so he could only make a request to Philip Saunders.

"Coach, I don't know how many times I've told you I don't care."

"Since you don't believe it, then okay."

"To compensate me, let me play freely in this game."

"Don't worry, I won't mess around."

In the game with the Warriors, although Wu Dao scored a lot, he always played with restraint.

It's not that his strength hasn't been fully exerted, it's just that sometimes when it comes to handling the ball, Takedo will give up the way he is most comfortable and familiar with it, and instead make the basketball run according to Philip Saunders' wishes.

Now he was a little annoyed by the noise and made this request to the coach.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't say yes, it's better if he does, he can play the way he is most comfortable.

"Oh?"

"Do you want to play freely?"

"Okay, no problem!"

"But that's all there is to it."

"But I still have to tell you one thing, if the team has already established the victory, I will still replace the substitutes."

Wu Dao finally made a request, and the request was not too much, Philip Saunders secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said with a smile.

If Wu Dao had not made a request, Philip Saunders would still feel that Wu Dao was holding his breath in his heart and not having a seizure. At the mention of the request, Philip Saunders immediately relaxed.

"Well, no problem."

"There are so many regular season games, and I don't want to waste energy in garbage time."

The games against the Hornets are already back-to-back, and after that, the Timberwolves travel to Portland, Oregon, to face the Trail Blazers on the road.

Oregon is located on the northwest coast of the United States, and it takes quite a while to get past Minnesota.

Martial arts should be as good as possible to cope with the next matches.

If you don't know how to distribute your physical strength reasonably, you will play a ghostly game, and the intensity of the NBA is very high, and it is also back-to-back, and the NBA and high school games are not at the same level at all.

When the tunnel opened on the Timberwolves' side, a tsunami of cheers poured into the court.

Walking out of the passage with his teammates, he was able to see someone holding a "WD" sign from the audience and cheering enthusiastically.

"Invincible?"

"Very good"

Wu Dao smiled and muttered to himself, and he couldn't help but open his arms and respond to the fans, who was infected by the enthusiasm of the audience.

The Timberwolves players walked to the rest area one after another, and after putting down their things, the players began to warm up on the court.

The Hornets players came much earlier than the Timberwolves players, after all, it was an away game, and many players were already familiar with the field at the target center arena more than an hour ago.

When the Timberwolves players arrived at the venue, the game was less than forty minutes away.

"The audience is really full today!"

Young Chris Kyle looked around and whispered.

"The fans are here to see the savior, of course."

Garnett pursed his mouth, and as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a fan roaring: "KG!! ”

Turning his head to look, his eyes attracted a young brother, the little brother was chubby, and when he saw Garnett's gaze looking at him, he immediately raised the "support card" and excitedly called Garnett's name.

"You're not talking about yourself, are you?"

"It's as shameless as martial arts."

Tom followed KG's gaze, and his mouth was also curled, "jealous".

He's an all-star!

Although he was an All-Star substitute, he didn't have fans to cheer him on, and he really didn't feel good.

Wu Dao didn't know what was going on in the minds of these teammates one by one.

He just sat on the bench by himself, straightened his shoelaces, and after finishing them, went into the court to warm up.

Soon, with the sound of the buzzer, the players of the two teams also entered the stadium one after another.

The Timberwolves' starters are the same as in the last game, with Marbury and Takeshi on the guard line, Cherokee Parkes and Garnett on the inside, and Tom Gugliotta at the small forward position.

On the Hornet's side, David Wesley (185cm/86kg) in the No. 1 position; Glenn Rice in 2/3 swing position (203cm/103kg); Anthony Mason Jr. (201cm/113kg) in position 4; Tony Famar (206cm/111kg), also in position 4; Verratti Divac (216cm/110kg) in position 5.

The Hornets' average height is outstanding, and those players have a lot of momentum when they come on the court.

Wu Dao looked at it at a glance, and when he saw the muscular black brothers, he also roughly understood what the other party was planning to do.

In the understanding of martial arts, the Hornets are a more iconic team of the 90s.

For example, Glenn Rice and Anthony Mason Jr. are the most traditional types of forwards, and attacking the basket to create damage is what they do best.

A pure point guard with a bit of shooting, and with this group of muscular men, it looks like the Hornets are planning to play iron-blooded basketball with the Timberwolves.

After a whistle, the basketball was thrown into the air, and as the basketball was moved to the backcourt, Takeshi also rushed quickly towards the frontcourt.

As soon as Marbury got the ball, he directly saw Takemichi sprinting towards the frontcourt, and without thinking about it, he directly pierced the ball towards Takemi.

As soon as the basketball started, Wu Dao quickly dribbled the ball to the three-point corner position on the right.

And when Wu Dao just stood up and raised the ball and was about to make a three-point shot to open the situation, a black shadow quickly came to Wu Dao's side and pasted Wu Dao, and at the same time, the opponent's huge power was directly poured on Wu Dao's body.

"Huh?"

As soon as Wu Dao closed the ball, he was directly unbalanced by the top, and he couldn't help but collect the ball and lower his center of gravity, and after gaining a firm foothold, Wu Dao saw little Anthony Mason, the big black brother, standing in front of him.

The other party's eyes were staring at the martial arts, as if they wanted to eat people.

It's dark.

Very strong.

It's hard.

This is Anthony Mason Jr., the first feeling that this opponent gives to Martial Arts.

Anthony Mason Jr., who previously played for the Knicks before being traded to the Hornets.

Called, New York Beast!

He is a well-known villain and tough guy in the league, and at one time made Olajuwon very uncomfortable.
