Chapter 324 The Road to Dynasty

This All-Star Weekend event, which was somewhat different from the All-Stars in Da Zhuang's memory, ended perfectly. The happiest people were probably those in the league.

“The best all-star event in the past decade!”

On the day after the All-Star Game ended, all the major media outlets in the beautiful country praised this All-Star Game, and the management of the Natural League also received praise.

The same thing is that LaVine still defeated Gordon in the dunk contest and defended the honor of dunk king as in his previous life. Dinwiddie participated in the skills challenge, but lost to the Knicks' Towns.

The result is the same as in the previous life, but the person's identity has changed a lot.

Middleton participated in the three-point contest, but ultimately defeated Thompson and won the championship.

For a time, the showdown between the Warriors and the Timberwolves seemed to have a feeling of difference between the team and individuals, and this feeling became even stronger during the All-Star game.

After this reform, the All-Star Game attracted a lot of attention.

In the end, Oden's team defeated James' team 147-140. Oden also won the MVP of this game with a triple-double of 42 points, 20 rebounds and 11 assists.

After the game, a camera even captured the disappointed look on the faces of James and others.

This game was also praised by many media as the most intense game in the league's All-Star history. By the third quarter, the two sides were already really hot, and the defensive intensity also increased accordingly, with various pick-and-roll screens.

It is also performed frequently, and there are even various blocks and saves that have not been seen in the All-Star Game before.

The end of the All-Star Game also heralds that the regular season of this season has entered the final sprint stage.

The Timberwolves, who have an advantage in record, have also begun to rotate their lineups more frequently.

Although it is inevitable to lose some games as a result, according to some media, the Timberwolves have already begun making final preparations for their own dynasty.

February 19th, the first game after the All-Star break.

The Timberwolves visit FedEx Arena.

In the end, they defeated the Grizzlies 104-96.

However, the next day, February 20, the Timberwolves returned to their home court and lost to the Knicks 97-100.

However, this loss did not come as any surprise to the outside world.

In this game, the Timberwolves played almost with a full substitute lineup, and Oden and Middleton did not even appear on the roster.

After a day's rest, the Timberwolves continued to sit at the Target Center on February 22 to face the challenge of the Celtics.

Although the lineup was still rotated, facing the Celtics who were in the process of rebuilding, they finally defeated the Celtics with LaVine's last three-pointer.

124 to 122, the Timberwolves won their second victory after the All-Star break.

This also improved his record in the regular season to 49 wins and 7 losses.

And this is just the beginning.

Although the Timberwolves still adopted the tactics of frequently rotating the lineup in the following games, the Timberwolves' record did lead to a ten-game winning streak.

After defeating the Celtics, the Timberwolves have three remaining games in February.

Played away against the Raptors on February 24th.

In the end, the game was won 101-94.

It is worth mentioning that the best player in this game was Yi Jianlian, who started the game. He scored 31 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in 37 minutes.

Then on February 27, the Timberwolves visited the New Orleans Arena to face the Pelicans.

This time Grant became the most handsome boy in the game.

99 to 94, the Timberwolves' third consecutive victory.

Grant became the best player of the game with 27 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

The next game was back-to-back away games for the Timberwolves.

On February 28, the Timberwolves played against the Dallas Mavericks at the Airline Center Arena.

Although the Dallas Mavericks played all their main players and led the Timberwolves by 11 points at some point in the game, in the end, in the fourth quarter, Dallas seemed to be infected by McHale's habitual fourth quarter collapse syndrome from the Rockets.

In the last quarter of the game, Dallas suddenly seemed to be incapable of playing basketball. The Timberwolves led a 13-0 climax. The score difference was evened out and the Timberwolves overtook the game.

Subsequently, the Timberwolves, whose morale had greatly increased, also pursued the victory and defeated the Dallas Mavericks in one go.

104 to 98, the Timberwolves finally completed a classic reversal.

And also achieved a wave of four consecutive victories.

This game is also the last game of the Timberwolves' schedule in February.

The record of 52 wins and 7 losses fully proves that the Timberwolves are indeed on the road to the team's dynasty as the media said.

After the game, Da Zhuang also made a very high-profile announcement about winning the championship this season.

"Championship, I think only the championship is the best reward for all of us, and only the Timberwolves are the team most worthy of winning this championship trophy. No matter who the opponent is in front of us in the end, we have confidence.

My teammates and I are very confident that we have the strength to defeat him."

On the night of March 2nd, at the target center, the on-site referee blew the whistle.

The game between the Timberwolves and the Washington Wizards is officially over.

The tens of thousands of Timberwolves fans at the scene all stood up and gave neat and warm applause as the fans chanted Chen Dazhuang's name in unison. The same scene was now being played out in the square outside the Target Center and in major bars in Apolis.

With.

121 to 95, as the Timberwolves won this game, the Timberwolves also locked a playoff spot in advance. All the Timberwolves used the most solemn way to thank Chen Dazhuang for his contribution to the Timberwolves in the past three seasons.

"The greatest head coach in the NBA in the 21st century!"

This is what a local Minnesota newspaper called Chen Dazhuang before the start of the game, and this article was quickly reprinted in major media across the country, even by those who had some conflicts with Dazhuang.

After reading this article, I am speechless.

Whether it is achievements or honors, Chen Dazhuang has achieved the ultimate.

For Timberwolves fans, Chen Dazhuang is their god. Now in Minneapolis, the bronze statue on the square in front of the Target Center has become the holy land of basketball in Minnesota. There are fans from all over the world almost every day.
