Vol 2 Chapter 720: Another Major Earthquake, Love Wants To Leave The Team
It was really nice to win, but Wang Zelin always felt weird, as if after these three games, they were not playing the regular season, but more like the preseason.
Is it because the Blazers have gotten a lot stronger this year, or is it because the opponents in these three games are just average?
He can’t figure it out either. Anyway, from the point difference, the Trail Blazers are now ranked first in the league in average points difference per game, with an average point difference of 17 points per game!
When the league announced two months ago that the opponent in the new season opener was the Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers had done a good job of getting into trouble at the beginning and then trying to solve it, but the problem is that the win is too smooth now!
Winning too easily can be quite a headache at times, because when you run into trouble early in the season, there is plenty of time to think of ways to solve it; , adversaries can look for loopholes in their problems, making them hard to guard against.
The current situation is like what Wang Zelin thought just now. It feels like playing 7 preseason games in a row, and there is no pressure at all.
Really, why can’t the knights be stronger!
…
…
“My God, is this the defending champion? It’s so scary!”
“With an average of 17 points per game, I just wanted to ask, what are you doing to stop the Blazers from going to a three-peat?”
“The familiar king is back! After three games, he averaged 35 points, 15 rebounds and 4.6 blocks per game. It’s the rhythm of Tu Bang again!”
“I feel that Wang Zelin doesn’t want to give other teams a way to survive. The super center with such a dominant power is still evolving every year. What do you guys use to fight me?”
After the three games, the fans were amazed at the terrifying data that Wang Zelin played.
Although everyone knows that according to the past rules, the beginning of each season is a period of explosive player data, but it is still quite rare for such an explosion like Wang Zelin.
Only three games were not enough for the Blazers to directly claim the title, but the strength that Wang Zelin showed made the whole league tremble.
Last season’s Wang Zelin had already given them a lot of headaches. Not long after the new season, Wang Zelin gave them a problem: facing this evolutionary Wang Zelin, how to limit it?
However, the Blazers fans can’t control so much, and even though their team has only played three games, it is enough to cheer them up.
The vision of the three major sports authority media this year seems to be very unique!
…
After three consecutive home games, the Blazers started their first road trip of the new season after a two-day break.
They first went to Minnesota to play a game with the Timberwolves.
Although the Timberwolves welcome back the old wolf king this season, everyone knows that Garnett’s return is more symbolic than practical reinforcement.
Therefore, whether it is ESPN, TNT, or Sports Illustrated, the Timberwolves are placed at the end of the team’s power list in the new season, echoing the Knicks in the East, and they can be called a pair of wolves.
However, the fact is that the Timberwolves once again hit the media in the face.
The first was the victory over the Nuggets in the opening game, and in the latter game, the Bulls, the eastern powerhouse, were unexpectedly upset.
Then they lost to the Heat in Game 3 and are currently fourth in the Western Conference with a 2-1 record.
But well, as long as you study the Minnesota Timberwolves’ start in recent seasons, you will find a pattern. It seems that every year the Timberwolves start well, not even worse than some strong teams.
Then, there is no then.
Therefore, considering that the Timberwolves did not perform badly in the first few years, the three major media after being slapped in the face are still not optimistic about the Timberwolves.
And the facts have proved that their insistence is correct.
After encountering a real top team, the Timberwolves were instantly beaten back to the original Huskies. This game did not cause much trouble to the Blazers. Basically, the Blazers finished the game in three quarters.
After they won the Timberwolves, they extended their winning streak to four games.
Compared with the widowed game itself, the biggest highlight tonight is the touching picture of the Trail Blazers general manager Olsey coming to the scene and giving Garnett the championship ring.
Just when everyone was silent at this touching moment, no one noticed that Kevin Love, the boss of the Wolves, who was in the contract year at this time, chose to leave the game ahead of schedule.
Returning to the locker room, taking a cold shower, and changing into casual clothes, Love left the arena.
Back home, Love took the initiative to call his agent, Jeff Swartz.
“What’s the matter, Kevin?”
When his employer called in the evening, Schwartz hurriedly asked. At this time, he already had a hunch that something big might happen next.
As he expected, after dialing Schwarz’s phone, Love first glanced at the photo of himself and Ricky Rubio on the living room wall, with a hint of hesitation on his face, But the next moment, he still expressed his intention:
“Jeff~www.readwn.com~ I think it’s time for us to leave Minnesota!”
“Oh, that’s what you’re talking about… ah! What, say it again!”
Jeff Schwartz first let out a breath, then got up from the bed after he reacted, and asked again excitedly.
“I said, I want to leave Minnesota.”
Hearing the surprise on the phone, Love smiled and gave a positive response again.
“Fuck! Kevin, you finally figured it out, you know buddy, I’ve been waiting for your words for a long time.”
After getting Love’s affirmative answer, even Jeff Schwartz, who was already a gold-medal NBA agent, couldn’t help but get excited.
In fact, as early as the end of Love’s rookie contract, Schwartz had offered to help Love change teams. After all, Love had grown into a super insider with an average of 26+13 per game, as long as Love nodded. , Mostly the team is willing to offer a super max salary and tactical status to recruit him.
“The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty”
But somehow, his employer chose to sign another 4-year contract with the Timberwolves. Although it was a sincere max salary, Swartz still felt it was not worth it.
First, the prospect of the Timberwolves is slim, which is not conducive to Love’s growth; the second is that Love’s momentum as the league’s top power forward just played at the time, and only big cities can completely release its commercial value.
However, after all, Love is the employer. As an agent, he can only respect Love’s choice and strive for the best interests for Love on this basis.
Swartz originally thought that Love, a silly boy who would rather have a career without a championship than leave the Timberwolves, would die in this small city, but he received a big surprise at night.
He has already foreseen that there will be a big earthquake in the league tomorrow!
