Chapter 228 The miserable calf

The loss to the Spurs did not affect the Timberwolves' state.

After two days of rest, the Timberwolves team arrived at Bankers Life Arena on January 13.

Facing the Pacers who were already stuck in the quagmire, even though they had a strong relationship with Vogel, the ferocious Timber Wolf still kicked the Pacers' sinking body hard again.

109 to 91, with a score difference of 18 points, Vogel did not want to talk to Chen Dazhuang after the game.

Fortunately, Dazhuang was too thick-skinned, so after the game, he stepped forward to comfort Vogel. Of course, the consolation effect may not be ideal, and Vogel vowed to break off relations with Chen Dazhuang.

The Timberwolves couldn't be happy for long after winning the game.

Two days later, the Timberwolves came to Talking Stick Resort Arena to face the Phoenix Suns, which they had defeated before, and suffered their sixth loss in the regular season.

The system did not give Dazhuang any help in this game, so facing the Suns at home, they ultimately lost unfortunately.

105 to 102, the Timberwolves lost to the Suns by three points.

The next day, January 17, the Timberwolves ushered in their first back-to-back away game in January.

Dazhuang leads the Timberwolves to a visit to the Pepsi Center in Denver.

In the end, with two red buffs, the Timberwolves easily defeated the Nuggets 113-94.

It can be considered that the situation has been stabilized.

The next game for the Timberwolves is still an away game.

On January 18, the Timberwolves visited the Time Warner Center Arena to face the resurgent Hornets.

The Timberwolves and the Hornets played a game to see who had the lower shooting percentage. In the end, the Hornets, who played at home, defeated the Timberwolves in terms of the lower shooting percentage.

81 to 76, the Timberwolves can be said to be lucky to win this game.

Then that night after the Hornets game ended, the Timberwolves team returned to Minneapolis.

Reporters who were familiar with the Timberwolves' schedule also began to place their expectant eyes on the center of the target, because in the next game, the enemies of the Timberwolves and the Dallas Mavericks would encounter each other.

When it comes to the resentment that Dallas people have against the Timberwolves, it’s almost too many to describe.

From the team owner to the head coach to the players.

I'm afraid the one with the most mixed emotions now is Rubio. Rubio was attracted by Dallas's high salary in the summer, and it did bring some trouble to Dazhuang at that time, at least it interrupted the relationship between Chen Dazhuang and Kelly.

human world.

But as the regular season schedule progresses, Rubio's position in Dallas becomes increasingly awkward.

He holds the highest salary in the team, but he is gradually at risk of losing his main position.

I don’t know what Dallas was thinking. After Rubio joined the Mavericks, the Mavericks reached a deal with the Celtics at the end of last month. Rajon Rondo and Dwight Powell were sent to Dallas by the Celtics.

.

In this way, Rubio, who did not perform to the expectations of Dallas people in Dallas, is embarrassed.

Not long after Rondo arrived, he took Rubio's starting spot in many games.

And after a few games, even Adelman, who originally supported Rubio, began to lean toward Rondo.

Especially in the January games, Rubio has basically become Rondo's substitute. If that's all, forget it. The only embarrassment is that Rubio is now the highest-paid player in the Dallas Mavericks.

As for the high salary of 20 million, you must know that except for Rubio, the highest salary in the Dallas Mavericks is currently Chandler's 14.7 million, Rondo's is 13 million, and Nowitzki's salary is only 8 million after the salary cut.

The key thing is that Rubio's contract is a four-year contract, and in order to disgust the Timberwolves, it was still a contract without team options. It can be said that this contract is now, unless anyone is larded.

Only when you are blinded will you be willing to accept it, otherwise you will probably have to throw it into your hands.

So it's hard for people in Dallas.

The Dallas management, which has always shown itself to be shrewd, seems to have a tendency to develop into people with stupid money.

Two days ago, Milt also told Da Zhuang that Dallas has been thinking about seeking a deal to get rid of this poison recently, but it is a pity that at this stage, no one who has been deceived by lard appears.

So in the end, Dallas came to a conclusion, that is, they were cheated, and they were cheated by the Timberwolves. Of course, this is the only excuse, no, it is this reason that can remove the label of being stupid and rich.

Fortunately, Da Zhuang didn't know about Dallas's idea, otherwise he wouldn't know how to scold these people.

The time finally came to the afternoon of January 21, and the entire Dallas Mavericks team arrived at the Target Center.

When Adelman appeared with everyone, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time gathered around him, but this time Adelman learned his lesson and did not show the same confidence as before.

Adelman, who was just low-key, didn't expect that his players would perform in a very high-profile manner.

"We are here to win. There is no doubt about it. When the game is over, it will be a very wonderful thing to celebrate the victory at the Target Center." Rondo was very high-profile when facing reporters' inquiries.

It may be that the Dallas Mavericks' record during this period gave Rondo enough confidence.

At present, the Mavericks are tied with the Houston Rockets for fourth place in the Western Conference with a record of 28 wins and 14 losses. Especially after Rondo joined, Dallas has won six consecutive games. Among them, there are even opponents like the Cavaliers and Thunder. And just now

In the final round of games, the Mavericks also defeated the Grizzlies in an away game, once again winning two games in a row.

It can be said that the record after joining the Mavericks made Rondo feel more and more important that his position in the team is very important. In addition, comparing the record of the Dallas Mavericks before he came, it became clear that he could take last season's championship.

The main point guard crowded out the bench, and this result was enough to give Rondo enough confidence.

Rondo also had some understanding of the grudge between Dallas and the Timberwolves, so he believed that this game was definitely an opportunity for him, an opportunity to become the boss of the team.

If he can lead Dallas to defeat the Timberwolves, then he can definitely be regarded as a hero in the eyes of Dallas fans.

Next, when Da Zhuang arrived at the target center with the Timberwolves, the reporters at the scene also spread Rondo's words to Da Zhuang's ears, but this time Da Zhuang just smiled and did not give a response, not that

His resentment towards the Dallas Mavericks is no longer, but that he disdains to compete with a player. If Adelman said this, then he will definitely respond.
