After the game between the Spurs and the Timberwolves, the coach brought Takeshi and Garnett to the post-game press conference.

Admittedly, Coach Philip originally wanted to bring Tom to today's post-match press conference, but the performance of martial arts in this game was too dazzling.

There are some things that he hasn't communicated with Martial Arts yet, and Coach Philip has to consider Martial Arts' mood.

The Timberwolves' management is determined to send Tom away in exchange for a tough interior force for the team. After today's game, this idea in the minds of the Timberwolves management was even more firm.

If their team's main center is not a player of the caliber of Cherokee Parkes, today's game against the Spurs may be clear in the third quarter.

The Timberwolves have decided to build a team with Wu Dao and Garnett as the core, and Philip will never allow any misunderstandings and dislikes between Wu Dao and Wu Dao at this time, and they will not appear at all!

To do this, he gave up a press conference that inflated Tom's value.

In the invitation to ask questions, Philip first said some polite words, and after ordering a random reporter's question, he handed over the stage to Martial Arts and Garnett.

"Wu Dao, today is your 6th game in the NBA, and in today's game, you scored 40+ points again."

"This is your fourth game over 40 points, is there anything you would like to say about that?"

"Do you think you're the best player in the league? You know, your points per game average is by far the highest, and Michael is not as good as you! ”

The reporter was obviously more interested in martial arts, and the first question was asked martial arts.

"I think there's something wrong with your statement, our Timberwolves are on a six-game winning streak, but it's my fifth game in the league."

"You know, I didn't play in one game before, and that was against the Warriors."

"I don't think the points are a complete representation of a player's value."

'I was able to score thanks to my team-mates, who allowed me to focus on scoring and not think about anything else.

"I'm just a rookie at the moment, a rookie who hasn't even touched the playoffs, what kind of best player in the league?"

"Of course, I think I'm the best rookie, and that's fine."

Wu Dao's answer was a little tactful, and after raising his teammates' hand, he also skillfully avoided the reporter's provocative question.

What is your highest scoring per game? Michael is not as good as you?

Whenever this kind of remark is connected, martial arts will probably face ridicule from all over the United States.

What stinky fish and rotten shrimp have not even played in the playoffs, and dare to compare to Jordan, who holds five crowns and holds a dynasty?

Of course, humility is humility, and the self-confidence that should be there cannot be less, and there is nothing wrong with martial arts consciously "admitting" that he is the strongest rookie.

The cameras of the reporters in the audience were facing Wu Dao, and in the face of Wu Dao's answer, the reporters also nodded secretly, a little surprised that this rookie was so skillful in dealing with it.

"Wu Dao, you are indeed the best rookie to play so far, and throughout the history of the NBA, you are the first person who can play at this level in the first few games of your rookie season!"

"There is nothing wrong with saying that you are the first in history."

The reporters in the audience obviously didn't let go of martial arts so easily, and praised with a smile.

But when he heard this, Wu Dao's face was pale, as if he was facing a great enemy, shook his head, and replied seriously:

"This journalist friend, the number one in history after you added so many qualifiers doesn't seem to me to make any sense."

"Basketball is a very pure thing, personal data doesn't matter at all, every player needs to fight for the goal, there is always only the championship."

"It's clear to me that I still have a long way to go on the road to the title."

In the face of the praise of reporters, martial arts did not accept it at all.

However, as soon as Wu Dao's words fell, a reporter got up directly and asked:

"Martial arts, your Timberwolves' goal is to compete for the championship? A team that has never made the playoffs and is aiming for a championship? ”

Takeshi glanced at the microphone of the questioning reporter, which had the Los Angeles Times logo on it.

Not.

The Purple Lakers, who are also in the West, have the peak O'Neal, Eddie Jones, Juvenile, and young Fisher.

Not long before the Timberwolves attended the postgame press conference, the Lakers had just slaughtered the Mavericks 118-96, and O'Neal played 37 minutes and chipped in a monstrous 37 points and 12 boards.

And the Lakers' Rick Fox, Robert Horry and other players have a total of five players scoring double-doubles, assisting O'Neal to help the team win the fifth game at the beginning of the season.

Like the Timberwolves, the Lakers are also all-winning.

Judging from the current level of record and the background of the players, the current favorites to win the Western Conference Finals are the Jazz, Lakers and . The Timberwolves, who have just reached a six-game winning streak!

Houston and the Trail Blazers, both in the West, are actually strong this year, but so far, the dominance has not been shown.

For example, the Rockets, who are currently 3-3, are hard pressed to imagine that they have both "Fliggy" Barkley and "Big Dream" Olajuwon on their team

The Los Angeles Times reporter asked a question with a hint of hostility in his tone, not entirely directed at the martial arts, but at the Timberwolves. The reporter in Los Angeles watched today's game, and he obviously felt what kind of terrifying potential this young Timberwolves had.

"Huh?"

"As a player, the goal is the championship, what's the problem?"

"Kevin, don't you want to win?"

Wu Dao didn't seem to feel the irony in the reporter's words, glanced at the reporter suspiciously, frowned a little strangely, turned his head to look at Garnett, and asked.

Hearing this question about martial arts, Garnett was obviously stunned, stared at martial arts for a long time, and when he saw the seriousness in martial arts' eyes, he suddenly laughed, pinched the microphone in front of him, leaned over slightly and said:

"How is that possible?"

"Of course I wanted to win."

"You're right, basketball is a very pure thing, and the goal for players to compete for is always the championship!"

A first-year, a third-year at the end of a rookie contract, the reporters on the scene didn't expect that they would actually say from these two people that "their goal is to win the championship".

The combined salaries of these two players are not as small as those supergiants, and the biggest player on the whole team is Tom who is an All-Star substitute.

It's such a team that wants to compete for the championship?

How many games have you won and you can't recognize yourself?

When the reporters in Los Angeles heard the violent arguments of Wu Dao and Garnett, they only felt that the world was crazy, and when other reporters heard this, they didn't have any more questions to ask for a while, and they recorded something in the notebook in their hands.

What the reporters wanted, they had already gotten from Takeshi and Garnett.

Coach Philip looked at the two young people beside him and pressed his head with a headache, but after a short period of sadness, Philip couldn't help but chuckle happily.

Wu Dao and Garnett looked at each other for a few seconds, and it was rare to reach a so-called consensus on something.

After the press conference, the Timberwolves, who had won six in a row, had a carnival at the bar, but in this one, two players were absent.

In Garnett's villa, Takeshi and Garnett sat at the dining table, and outside, there was a chef specially hired by Garnett to roast beef for the two, and in the kitchen of the villa, there were also privately hired chefs preparing other dishes.

Garnett picked up the red wine that had been prepared a long time ago and took the initiative to pour half a glass for Martial Arts.

"I forgot to tell you, not only do I not eat fried chicken, but I also don't drink alcohol."

Wu Dao glanced sideways at the red wine in front of him slightly, and couldn't help but say.

Garnett held the wine glass in one hand and shook it gently, and was about to taste the Mouton 1945 that cost tens of thousands of dollars, when he heard the words of Martial Arts, he couldn't help but clench the wine glass.

"If you don't drink, you won't drink!"

"If you don't drink it, I drink it!"

Garnett opened his mouth and just wanted to trash talk, but when it came to his mouth, he only left these two sentences that were not painful.

"Solie, get some juice for this gentleman!"

"Nope! Take the milk! ”

Garnett took the wine glass in front of Takemichi to him and shouted loudly to the nanny at home.

"The milk is pretty good."

"If I'm five centimeters longer, if you get sparse on the court, I can play the No. 4 position."

Wu Dao heard the mockery in Garnett's words, smiled and spread his hands, and said casually.

The red wine entered his throat, but Garnett didn't feel the taste of Mouton 1945 at all at this moment, only felt that it stinked.

"You bastard, you're not going to grow any taller!"

"You didn't grow taller in your previous two physical tests!"

"You're no longer than 210cm!"

"Don't say those disgusting things while eating, affect your appetite, you bastard."

Garnett put down his wine glass, and he was in no mood to drink for a while, he didn't know how this guy Martial Arts could say such disgusting things at the dinner table.

Hearing this, Wu Dao smiled, glanced at the barbecue master who was busy in the courtyard, and asked out loud:

"You're so nice to invite me to dinner today, what do you want to tell me?"

Hearing Wu Dao talking about business, Garnett also took a breath, and after a while, he glanced sideways in the direction of the kitchen, and saw that there was no one, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Management is ready to send Tom away."

"You're going to be the only offensive core on the perimeter."

Garnett was succinct and told a stirring news.

Hearing this news, Wu Dao's expression also moved slightly, and after a short period of stunned, he touched his chin, revealing a thoughtful look.

Garnett was also surprised to see that Wu Dao was actually acting like this after hearing the news, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you surprised?" ”

Wu Dao waved his hand and said casually:

"I was a little surprised, but"

"We have too many outside balls, and this problem has arisen for a long time."

"Actually, you just need to distribute the ball reasonably, and Tom is a good enough secondary attacker."

"Going to send Tom away is a bit unexpected."

"How did you find out about this?"

Wu Dao looked at Garnett, and Garnett also showed a proud smile on his face for a while.

"Of course I know, I'm not like you, haha!"

"Actually, I'll send Tom away, I think about it, it's not strange at all."

"I hate to admit it, but you're younger than Tom, and you're stronger."

"It's normal for the management to want to get you right."

Garnett smiled and shook his glass.

"I see you're quite happy, if I were you, I wouldn't be happy."

"I'm so strong, the management can send Tom away for me, and it's not impossible to send you away at that time, right?"

"After all, we have such a bad relationship."

Wu Dao joked with a smile and glanced at Garnett. Unexpectedly, Garnett, who heard this, was not angry at all, but shook his head with a smile and said:

"Whoever you send away, you won't send mine."

"It's hard to find a good outside scorer, but is it easy to find an excellent insider?"

"Players like me are significantly scarcer than you!"

"You and I are both young, Timberwolves, and will be a team of both of us!"

Garnett raised his glass and said with a smile.

The current Garnett has obviously recognized the status of the martial arts team, and when he heard this, he was actually willing to share the position of "team boss" with the martial arts?

Such a change was somewhat surprising to Martial Dao.

Wu Dao knows a relatively little about Garnett, and he knows that Garnett is a person with a bad personality like Jordan, a master of trash talk on the court.

He thinks Garnett should be like Jordan and Kobe, and he has an obsession with the name of the team's boss.

Kobe's performance is not very strong, but Jordan's performance is actually very strong, and after he retired, he often made violent comments to belittle his partners during the Bulls period, as if he was the only one who started the Bulls dynasty.

And Kobe Bryant also had frequent quarrels with O'Neal when he was with the Lakers, and as Kobe Bryant got stronger and stronger, his will to be the boss became stronger and stronger.

At the peak of the intensification of contradictions, O'Neal even took charge of Kobe.

Kobe Bryant's title of "boss", some people use it to black Kobe, and there are more people who call him "Flying Man" in the early days.

The concept of the team boss has been around for a long time, and this thing is actually not created by whales and booths, but is actually a derivative of the concept of "one person, one city" in basketball in this era.

When Wu Dao heard Garnett's words today, he realized that Garnett was still a little different from paranoid players like Jordan and Kobe.

If you think about it, it seems that this is indeed the case, and deep down, Garnett doesn't seem to care as much about the identity of the "team boss" as he says on his lips.

The timberwolves of the two-wolf period did not have the so-called "absolute boss".

The first time Garnett and the rest of his partners got separated was because Marbury and Tom were angry with Garnett's "high salary" and ran away in a bad mood.

Think about it another way, this is actually proof that Garnett is not the "boss", if it was O'Neal who teamed up with Tom and Marbury at the time, and it was O'Neal who took that salary, do you think those two people are still "negative"?

At that time, the team was dismantled during the three-headed wolf period, not because of internal contradictions, but because there was no hope of winning the championship.

After Garnett went to the Green Army, he also engaged in the "Big Three", and his fame at that time was still a little worse than that of Garnett.

Garnett's main concern is victory after all.

"Are we a two-man team?"

"It doesn't really matter whose team it is."

"I want a championship."

"Of course, this championship doesn't mean anything if I don't have it!"

Wu Dao smiled and said to Garnett, seemingly agreeing with Garnett's statement.

It's just that Garnett probably didn't think it through.

He thinks that he shares the "boss" with martial arts, but according to the current game data of martial arts, Garnett, a person who averages 20+10 up and down per game, can he share the boss with a 40+ person like martial arts?
