Start five big embarrassment

Chapter 49 The 'Humble' Man

Target Center
The sports center, which has been serving the Timberwolves since 1989, has a history of 20 years. There are a number of basketball superstars at the beginning of the century, such as Wolf King and Stephon Marbury. However, it is still a small ball market, Winter City where no one wants to play.

Among the arenas in the NBA, the attendance rate of the Target Center ranks the bottom all year round, and the performance is very stable, that is, it has always been the bottom.

Why Garnett can become a small miracle and become the king of Minnesota, because he made the attendance rate of this arena at its peak reach 103%, which can be ranked among the top ten in the same year.

It doesn't look awesome, where is the miracle?

Here we need to popularize science. You must know that the Knicks are the number one in the league's perennial attendance, and there are big brothers in the big ball market such as the Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls chasing after them. When these giants firmly monopolize the front-end sequence Under the circumstances, Garnett's highest attendance rate in a remote place like the Target Center sprinted to the tenth of the year, which is already beyond the reach of capable people.

To use an analogy, the GDP of a certain county suddenly surpassed that of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou overnight. This sounds amazing!

In terms of court winning percentage, a nerd can turn the Wolf King into a Husky, but if you want to talk about popularity and economic benefits, Garnett can make Lao Deng three.

A brand new little red Mazda was parked in front of the Target Center, and McKee tossed his newly cropped black crop.

From now on, I will stay here, first set a small goal, and send Garnett to the second place in the history of the Timberwolves. Anyway, he will leave, and he will not retire his jersey in the future.

As we all know, the fastest person in this world is not Superman, but Cao Cao. It is estimated that Cao Cao is faster than Cao Cao. It is probably only a rumor!

McGee signed a fat contract, a fat contract that directly killed Pekovic.

Pekovic is okay, after all, he has made a lot of money, but his agent who has always used Pekovic as a cash cow almost had a heart attack. After all, he always thought that McGee came to the bottom, but now McGee unexpectedly Leaping forward, the Warriors' trade application was rejected by the Timberwolves.

What's even more ridiculous is that in order to match the contract, the Timberwolves gave McGee a 2+1 contract totaling 920 million yuan!
Of course, these are small things. The humble McGee always thinks that it is not important. The important thing is that McGee is already popular in the Timberwolves. The most direct thing is that the fat people who open the door come to work at 9 o'clock. In his words That said, McGee deserves his half-hour early every day.

The staff in the arena are much higher than the professionals, and their attitude can often reflect whether the player is good or not. McGee obviously did it.

He beat up that Zach Randolph in the summer league and attracted that old Nelson to come over. What a feat!

Although Zach Randolph is a mess now, he is in his prime.

Last season, the Timberwolves once believed in the first-generation KD Kevin Garnett. In singles, he might not be able to beat Zach Randolph, but McGee has such strength as a rookie. That is a proper pig-foot template. , the Chosen Son.

There are more and more people around McGee, just when McGee "desperately" explained that he was not that exaggerated, he didn't directly kill Randolph, let alone beat him to tears, just occasionally, easily, and not too hard A small victory, when you are young, you need to be drunk to become famous, McGee is so bragging, and that black fat guy Randolph is not here, he can still masturbate and come to Minnesota to beat me up? !
When Whitman walked into the target center, he happened to see McGee standing alone on the three-tiered stool that the players had in meetings, talking about it.

Yo, that's interesting too.

The Timberwolves have been ruled by Garnett for nearly ten years. That guy is very charismatic, but he also has a lot of personal problems. The previous Timberwolves have always had a high-pressure policy when Whitman was an assistant coach. Scolding and crying about a few rookies is commonplace. .

Garnett can say anything here if he can fight, but if he can't fight, he will spray your mother if he makes a wrong step.

Mayo has such a tendency now, but McGee does not.

Mayo speaks well and gives people a feeling of being arrogant and arrogant, and even if the bastard in front of him is arrogant and domineering, it gives people a sense of sight that this kid is bragging B. Whitman brought the current head of the Timberwolves Al Jefferson and Randy Foye came over. The former is also the current main force of the team and the latter is a shooting guard.

"Is this McGee?"

It was also the first time for Al Jefferson to see such a scene, a rookie leading a group of old players and staff together... Bragging B?

Anyway, he can't understand it, but he doesn't hate it.

In fact, Al Jefferson and Randy Foye are now the number one contenders for McGee and Mayo, but the team gives Mayo a better tactical position, allowing him to serve as a shooting guard and avoiding Randy. Foye's direct competition, McGee can't do it, he has to start from Al Jefferson's bench, survival of the fittest.

This is not a low status, but that the Timberwolves really value the power forward position more. They are willing to give McGee an average of no less than 20 minutes per game, which is already a huge concession.

All the bosses arrived on the battlefield, and soon the team vacated positions, and the staff who didn't buy tickets and listened to the books gradually dispersed.

Today's Timberwolves, although Al Jefferson also averages 20+10 per game, are far from being a strong team. From the configuration to the leading star, they are all low-profile models.

Strictly speaking, Al Jefferson is just a rookie who has just passed the development period. With the Timberwolves' power forward playing as king, it is only at this level. There is no room for higher promotion, so the team is in the draft market. Adams and Kevin Love are so sought after.

Their purpose is to complete the transition as soon as possible.

Soon the new and old members will arrive. This day is the same every year. There will be a few fewer people, and then a few more people.

Today's training intensity is not high, but, the gap is often inadvertently widened. During the offseason before, McGee was practicing hard, but Mayo or other Timberwolves stars didn't work so hard. Everyone has Qian people, what are you doing so hard in the off-season?
Al Jefferson is a hard-working player. Although he is not as hard-working as McGee, he also started training 10 days in advance, so after McGee and Al Jefferson quickly adapted to the state of the team, other teammates are still sleepwalking .

This made Al Jefferson look at McGee more and more pleasing to the eye.

Talent is something that comes naturally. For example, the boy Mayo, if he doesn’t train, he is destined to leave most people behind. Even Al Jefferson may have to play with him in the future, but try not to deceive yourself. Like that L.A. legend.

After the simple training is over, it is still the side part.

At this stage, Whitman almost felt blind, because McGee even used the excuse of "I am a fighter" player, and directly responded to the training requirements.

The corners of Whitman's mouth twitched, and Al Jefferson nearly laughed.

"Well, that's okay, I'm also fighting, McGee, let's try." Just when McGee thought he would be fined for running a lap, Al Jefferson, the leader of the team, suddenly stood up.

For a moment, the arena was quiet, but then everyone except Coach Whitman was boiling!

They are all young people, they are all at the age of youth, all the stars of the Timberwolves are shouting immediately, Come on, some are for McGee, begging him not to die too fast, and some are for Al Jefferson, let him take care of the ball The little flowers in the team.

Of course, their love must be in quotation marks.
