Chapter 178 Timber Wolf

On June 17, in this water city located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, countless fans began to gather towards the Target Center Arena from noon, even though they knew that they could not enter the arena at all.

Nothing can stop the pilgrimage in the hearts of these fans.

At that time, the Minnesota Timberwolves were part of the NBA's two-step expansion opportunity and officially joined the NBA in 1989. However, the Target Center as the team's home stadium was completed in the second season of the Timberwolves entering the league, but it really ignited the game.

The city's love for the Timberwolves was not until the 1996-97 season, because this season they reached the playoffs for the first time. Although the process was very short, at the end of this season, the Timberwolves signed Garnett.

With a huge six-year contract, Garnett was officially crowned Wolf King.

In the following seven seasons, the Timberwolves entered the playoffs every year. It was not until the 2003-04 season that the Timberwolves ushered in their peak in the NBA. They reached the Western Conference Finals, but were defeated by the Lakers.

After the peak comes the trough, but what they didn't expect was that this trough was not the lowest for the Timberwolves, only lower. A series of mistakes in decision-making caused the Timberwolves to continue to sink.

Nine years later, the summer that originally seemed to Timberwolves fans to be another nonsensical decision by the team's front office staff gave everyone a huge surprise. Nine years later, the Timberwolves made it all the way to the historic finals.

, on the night when the Spurs were eliminated, the entire Minneapolis was plunged into a sea of ​​carnival, and even some fans couldn't believe this was true.

However, the Timberwolves still didn't guess their ending. They originally thought they were just a passerby in the finals, but after four games, the Timberwolves actually got the match point.

This is the closest the Timberwolves have come to the championship, and it only takes one game.

Fans who don't know each other but are all wearing Timberwolves jerseys can be seen everywhere on the street. They are like old friends who have been together for many years, putting their hands on each other's shoulders and singing.

Today's game attracted the attention of the whole world. Penguin Sports started broadcasting the live broadcast at 8 o'clock in the morning, but the game did not start until 10 o'clock, which is 7 o'clock in the evening local time.

Several guests in the live broadcast room were also chatting about some interesting news about the two teams.

"Everyone, remember your last prediction. It seems that Director Hu and I got it right." Yang Yi asked with a smile.

"Now this result should not be expected by many people." Du Feng shook his head and said with a smile.

"Yes, I have watched these four games. It is really unreasonable. As the defending champion, the Heat really did not show the strength to match, especially in the last game." Zhang Liji said.

"What Zhang Zhi said is indeed true. The Heat's performance in the last game was indeed very poor, and it seems that Bosh and coach Spoelstra had some conflicts."

While everyone was chatting, the Timberwolves and Heat both arrived at the Target Center and began to enter the arena to warm up.

Before entering the arena, the head coaches of both teams were interviewed by reporters.

The mentality of both parties at this moment can be seen from the faces of the two people. Spoelstra's face was serious and even a little heavy, while Chen Dazhuang looked very relaxed with a smile on his face.

And everyone found that the same was true for the players on both sides. The players on the Timberwolves side walked into the arena almost talking and laughing, while the atmosphere on the Heat side was a bit gloomy. Even some reporters who wanted to interview Bosh were rejected.

reject.

Just the performance before the game seems to have predicted the outcome of this game.

An hour before the start of the game, fans began to enter the stadium. Reporters also discovered that Timberwolves owner Kelly, former owner Glen Taylor and team CEO Saunders accompanied the league president Adam Silver.

In the box of the arena.

Some time ago, when the Timberwolves reached the Western Conference Finals, some media broke the news that Sanders will no longer serve as the team's executive president starting next season. It is said that general manager Milt is likely to take over.

The O'Brien Cup also arrived at the Target Center,

The Timberwolves' championship T-shirts and ball caps are ready. Even the club's management is planning a championship parade. Everything is ready.

Soon the players from both sides will finish their warm-up, and the two teams will return to the locker room for final arrangements and mobilization.

At this time, the entire Target Center, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people, is already packed, and the atmosphere in the arena has reached its peak. Timberwolves fans can't wait, and thousands of people have also gathered in the square outside the arena.

There are tens of thousands of fans, and the Apolis city government even built a large screen in the square so that fans outside can watch the game.

The Timberwolves are ready to win their first championship trophy in team history.

And here in the locker room, Da Zhuang felt more relaxed after turning on the system. The system did not embarrass him at this critical moment. Of course, it may also be that the system felt that there was no need to embarrass the Timberwolves, who had three match points.

.

A shiny golden buff and four white buffs appeared in the system's buff column.

Road to Glory: Within forty minutes, the shooting guard's three-point shooting percentage increases by 30%, and the center's all abilities in the three-second zone increase by 30%. Each time the team completes a successful defense, the small forward's defensive ability will be increased.

Guard, small forward, and center combo buff.)

Hidden attribute: Successfully defeating the opponent and winning the final championship will reward the host with 50 skill points, and any one of the host's tactics will be upgraded to an advanced level.

Damn it, this damn Gou system is quite reliable at critical times, and the reward of this hidden attribute is finally my turn.

"Papa papa!" After Da Zhuang used this golden buff, he looked at the players sitting around and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"Everyone, some of you were here before I came to the Timberwolves, such as Ricky and Chase, and there are others who were traded after I came here, such as Greg, Chris, etc., but I believe

I'm afraid you didn't expect to reach this point before the start of the season. Even I didn't think about it. You all know that I have been telling reporters outside that our biggest goal this season is to enter the playoffs. This is not what I said casually.

Yes, that is indeed the case.”

"It is you, it is the efforts of all of you that we can get to where we are now. This is the glory that belongs to you and to all of us. Now we are still one step away from that sacred trophy. As long as we work harder,

With a little click, we can engrave our names on the trophy, and you will also become a member of the Timberwolves' history. Come on, guys, kill the enemies in front of you and win the trophy at our home court."

"come on! Come on!"

All the Timberwolves players gathered around and put their hands together.
