Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 107
"Let me ask you, is there a problem with the selection of the head coach of the All-Stars? Or is there some secret operation?"

"This is definitely not the case, and in the All-Star Weekend, the head coach is not the protagonist, so there is no such problem as black box operation."

"That's fine, we act according to the rules, so what impact can it have, and if you make any other actions now, no matter which side you are facing, it will have an impact on the image of the alliance, Adam, yes One thing I hope you can understand is that the alliance must not be divided into regions and skin colors, and it is especially important that no politics be mixed in it. Only in this way can our image be maintained very well. On the positive side, the alliance will depend on you in the future, and I hope you can take it further."

"Yes, sir, I will try."

Although on February 2, the NBA announced through Twitter that David Stern and Adam Silver had completed all work handovers and officially stepped down as league presidents. Another highlight of the All-Star Weekend is David Stern's retirement ceremony.

From 1984 to 2014, for a full 30 years, David Stern packaged the NBA into a commodity that is popular all over the world through the channel of television. Some media once said that "NBA is a huge economy. There was only trade, and David Stern traded the best merchandise to the world, and the world gave the league a huge profit."

Such a short sentence can be said to summarize the credit of David Stern.

No matter what the outside world thinks about Stern, it is undeniable that without him there would be no major league in the NBA. The NBA is now the most successful sports league in the world, with an annual revenue of more than 30 billion U.S. dollars, with 43 languages ​​spread to 215 countries around the world.

Of course, some people say that Stern is a master of conspiracy, manipulating the game, manipulating the draft, these are all doubts about him.

For example, New York, which chose Ewing, and the Rockets, which chose Yao Ming.

The retirement ceremony this time also attracted the attention of many people. Yao Ming, who has retired, said in January that he would come to David Stern's retirement ceremony.

Not only did Chen Dazhuang not respond to some outside comments, but 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 righteous indignation.

And the alliance seems to turn a blind eye to the outside world's remarks.

So under the impetus of some caring people, the rumors of replacing Chen Dazhuang became more and more popular.

However, these rumors from the outside world did not affect the Timberwolves' game at all.

After losing their first game in February, the Timberwolves took a two-day break to host the Los Angeles Lakers at Target Center.

The last time the two teams met, the Timberwolves and the Lakers, who drew five whites, staged a pecking game at Staples, and eventually lost to the Lakers.

This time, it did not repeat the result of the last time.

Although the attributes of the buff are only three blue, but facing the Lakers who have begun to perform poorly, the Timberwolves finally defeated the Lakers 109 to 99.

The next day after the Lakers game, the Timberwolves came to the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The back-to-back away game with the Thunder is the 49th regular season game of the Timberwolves 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 West, they have firmly occupied the first position in the West.

The Thunder is currently ranked second in the Western Conference with a record of 37 wins and 13 losses. It can be said that the Thunder's desire to win this game against the Timberwolves is extremely strong.

It's just that Chen Dazhuang created a full-color buff of two purples, one red and two blues unprecedentedly, which also made the Thunder finally have nothing but hatred in their home court.

119 to 107, the Timberwolves won two consecutive victories in the February schedule.

The Timberwolves had seven players in double figures, and Yi Jianlian even scored a triple-double of 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

This also allowed Durant, who scored 38 points, to successfully join the air-slashing army.

The Timberwolves also consolidated their ranking by virtue of the victory in this game, making the Thunder and Spurs who were closely chasing behind them lose the opportunity to chase points.

But everyone in the Timberwolves didn't have time to be happy for too long.

Soon his winning streak was ended again, and he ushered in another two-game losing streak.

On February 2th, the Timberwolves came to the New Orleans Arena after a day's rest, which is the venue where the All-Star game will be held soon, but it is a pity that Chen Dazhuang's luck may have been used up in the last game.

With Wubai's buff attributes and the absence of all members, the Timberwolves lost to the Pelicans 90-99.

Immediately after returning to the Target Center on February 2, the Timberwolves once again ushered in a back-to-back game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

This time the player's condition has been improved, but Chen Dazhuang's bad luck still continues.

In the end, the Timberwolves also ushered in their 12th loss of the season.

107 to 100, the Timberwolves lost to the Trail Blazers by 7 points.

And unfortunately, not only lost the game, both Carter and Bennett were injured in this game.

After the examination after the game, Carter’s calf muscle strain in his left leg will be sidelined for two to three weeks, and Bennett is even more of a headache for Da Zhuang. The injury to his right wrist means that Bennett will be sidelined for a month .

Bennett, who learned the result after the game, was very sad, because this injury will not be able to participate in the All-Star Rookie Challenge. Bennett is very important to this Rookie Challenge, because after joining After the Cavaliers, he also suffered a lot of doubts, and then he played well after joining the Timberwolves. However, the outside world still has a lot of doubts about him, and they all think that his ability is not enough to be the No. [-] pick in the draft. Te also decided long ago that he must smash these doubts with his performance in the Rookie Challenge.

"Heal well, Anthony, don't think about it, it's just an exhibition game, it's not as important as you think, you're not playing for those who doubt you, but for yourself, your loved ones and those who care about you, Understand?"

Seeing Bennett with a sullen face, Da Zhuang also comforted him.

"I understand, it's just that I have prepared 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 it doesn't matter if you think too much, you have to calm down and recover from your injuries. Only when your injuries are healed can you continue to play .”

"Well, I see, thank you, boss!"

"Okay, don't be so polite with me, I'll go back first."
