Chapter 107 Injury strikes
"Let me ask you, is there a problem with the selection of the head coach of the All-Stars? Or is there some behind-the-scenes operation?"
"This is definitely not the case, and in the All-Star Weekend, the head coach himself is not the protagonist, so there is no such problem as behind-the-scenes operations."
"That's okay. We are acting in accordance with the rules. What impact will this have? And if you have any other actions now, no matter which side you are on, it will have an impact on the image of the league. Adam, there is
One thing I hope you can understand is that in the development of the alliance, there must be no distinction between region and skin color, and it is particularly important that no politics be mixed into it. Only in this way can our image be maintained very well.
front,
From now on, the alliance will rely on you, and I hope you can take it further."
"Yes, sir, I will try my best."
Although on February 1, the NBA announced via Twitter that David Stern and Adam Silver had completed all handovers of work and officially resigned as league presidents, and this time
Another highlight of All-Star Weekend is David Stern's retirement ceremony.
From 1984 to 2014, for thirty years, David Stern packaged the NBA into a commodity that was popular all over the world through the channel of television. Some media once said, "The NBA is a huge economy.
There are only transactions here, and David Stern traded the best products to the world, and the world gave the league very generous profits."
Such a short sentence can sum up David Stern's contribution.
No matter what the outside world thinks of Stern, it is undeniable that without him there would be no NBA. The NBA is now the most successful sports league in the world, with annual revenue exceeding US$3 billion and a revenue of 43.
This language has spread to 215 countries around the world.
Of course, some people say that Stern is a master of conspiracy, manipulating games and manipulating drafts. These are all doubts about him.
For example, New York selected Ewing, and the Rockets selected Yao Ming.
This retirement ceremony also attracted a lot of attention. Yao Ming, who has retired, said in January that he would attend David Stern's retirement ceremony.
Chen Dazhuang not only failed to respond to some comments from the outside world, he even issued a gag order within the team, prohibiting everyone in the team from making any comments, even though everyone in the Timberwolves was filled with indignation.
The league seems to be turning a blind eye to outside comments.
So, driven by some thoughtful people, rumors of replacing Chen Dazhuang became increasingly popular.
However, these rumors from the outside world did not affect the Timberwolves' game at all.
After losing the first game in February, the Timberwolves took two days off to welcome the Los Angeles Lakers at the Target Center.
The last time the two teams met, the Timberwolves and the Lakers, who had drawn five draws, staged a rough fight at Staples, and ultimately lost to the Lakers.
This time, the results of the last time were not repeated.
Although the buff attributes were only three blue ones, facing the Lakers, who were already starting to falter, the Timberwolves finally defeated the Lakers 109-99.
The day after the Lakers game, the Timberwolves came to Chesapeake Energy Arena.
This back-to-back away game against the Thunder is the Timberwolves' 49th regular season game this season. The Timberwolves currently rank first in the league with a record of 39 wins and 10 losses.
It can be said that among the fifteen teams in the Western Conference, they have firmly occupied the first place in the Western Conference.
The Thunder are currently ranked second in the Western Conference with a record of 37 wins and 13 losses. It can be said that the Thunder have a strong desire to win in this game against the Timberwolves.
It's just that Chen Dazhuang has unprecedentedly created a full-color buff of two purples, one red and two blues, which ultimately made the Thunder miserable at their home court.
119 to 107, the Timberwolves won two consecutive games in February.
Seven members of the Timberwolves team reached double figures, and Yi Jianlian even had a triple-double of 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
This also allowed Durant, who scored 38 points, to successfully join the army of empty scorers.
The Timberwolves also consolidated their ranking with this victory, causing the Thunder and Spurs who were closely chasing behind them to lose the opportunity to chase points.
But everyone in the Timberwolves didn't have time to be happy for long.
Soon his winning streak was ended again, and he once again ushered in a wave of two consecutive losses.
On February 7, after a day of rest, the Timberwolves came to the New Orleans Arena, which is the venue where the All-Star game will be held. Unfortunately, perhaps Chen Dazhuang's luck ran out in the last game.
With Wubai's buff attributes and the fact that all players were out of shape, the Timberwolves lost to the Pelicans 90-99.
Immediately after returning to the Target Center on February 8, the Timberwolves once again ushered in a back-to-back game, against the Portland Trail Blazers.
This time the player's condition has improved, but Chen Dazhuang's bad luck continues.
In the end, the Timberwolves also suffered their 12th loss of the season.
107 to 100, the Timberwolves lost to the Trail Blazers by 7 points.
And unfortunately, not only did they lose the game, Carter and Bennett both ended up injured in this game.
After the game, it was found that Carter had a strained calf muscle in his left leg and would be sidelined for two to three weeks. Bennett was even more of a headache. The injury to his right wrist meant that Bennett would be sidelined for a month.
.
Bennett was even more sad when he learned the result after the game. Because of this injury, he would not be able to participate in the All-Star Rookie Challenge. Bennett saw this Rookie Challenge as very important, because after joining
After the Cavaliers, he also encountered a lot of doubts, and then he performed well after joining the Timberwolves. However, there were still many doubts about him from the outside world, and they believed that his ability was not enough to be the top pick in the draft, so this time Benne
Te also decided long ago that he would use his performance in the Rookie Challenge to defeat these doubts.
"Recuperate well, Anthony. Don't think too much. It's just an exhibition game. It's not as important as you think. You are not playing for those who doubt you, but for yourself, your relatives and those who care about you.
Do you understand?"
Seeing Bennett who looked gloomy, Da Zhuang also offered words of comfort.
"I understand, it's just that I have been preparing for a long time, but now this is the result."
"Only if you have a good body can you go further in the league, so no matter how much you think about it, it will have no effect. You can only calm down and recover from your injuries. Only by recovering from your injuries can you continue to play.
.”
"Well, I understand, thank you, boss!"
"Okay, don't be so polite to me. I'm going back first."
