ace marshal

Chapter 850

"Why did you sit for so long~?! It seems that it doesn't take too long to go to Minnesota~!!"

In the Clippers' special plane, Jordan, who was already a little sleepy, rubbed his eyes and said.

"I heard that there is a heavy snowstorm in Minneapolis, and the airport is clearing the snow, so there are no landing conditions~!"

Hill in the back row said.

"Okay, my god, come to Minnesota to catch up with Toronto~"

Little Jordan listened, shook his head, and sighed.

The away game, coupled with such a situation, is considered a "bad start" for the Clippers.

After about an hour and a half, the plane finally landed safely.

"Ah cut~!!!"

"Huh~~, Minnesota, it's really cold~~"

Stepping out of the cabin, Lan Shengli immediately yawned and said while blowing the biting cold wind after the heavy snow.

"Oh my god, it feels like I flew back to my hometown~"

Looking at the snow-capped scene in front of him, Lan Shengli immediately sighed.

"Is your hometown the North Pole~?!"

Little Jordan, who came out from behind, pouted and asked.

"It's Hawaii in summer and the North Pole in winter~"

Lan Shengli said half-jokingly.

"Oh~!!, there is such a place in this world~?! It's unbelievable~!!"

Little Jordan stared, sighed in amazement, and said.

The two of them didn't chat anymore, after all, no one wanted to stay for a second longer in the freezing outdoor environment, especially when they were wearing very little clothes.

The Clippers team soon came to the Timberwolves' home court - the Target Center.

"Huh~, huh~, it's really cold~!"

"Yeah, this damn weather, I hate the cold the most~"

“I really miss the cozy sunshine in California~!!”

The team members ran into the stadium shivering with cold, discussing.

"Everyone, keep warm, don't freeze~!"

Lan Shengli followed behind the team, shouting to remind him.

Lan Shengli is like the parents of the team members, caring for them in every possible way.

After all, Lan Shengli doesn't want to see any player miss the game because of the flu.

After all, not any player who has the flu can score 38 points with a high fever of 38 degrees Celsius like Michael Jordan.

Although the Clippers players were shivering from the cold, the Timberwolves players were not affected at all.

The players are already ready for training in the locker room.

The team's new star Kevin Love has also come to the field, accompanied by a trainer, practicing free throws.

Looking at Love's drenched vest, one can guess that he has been practicing for a long time.

"Haha~!! I knew you would come early~"

Here, Lan Shengli also came to the court, looked at Love who was making free throws, and sighed with a smile.

"It seems that you still maintain the habits you had at UCLA~"

Here Lan Shengli took the initiative to walk over, looked at Le Fu, and said.

Seeing Lan Shengli, Love first scored the ball, then signaled the trainer to rest, and walked towards Lan Shengli.

"Good habits can't be lost~!"

Le Fu stretched out his hand, and said to Lan Shengli with a smile on his face.

After a simple handshake, the two began to chat.

"It's been a long time, Coach Blue, when was the last time you came~?!"

Le Fu pinched his waist and asked.

"Probably at the end of the regular season last year, in Los Angeles~"

Lan Shengli rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and said.

"Well~, it's been more than half a year~!! It's gone too fast~!!"

Love sighed.

"Yeah, it's already 2010~"

Lan Shengli nodded and said.

"Although I really hope to see Coach Blue's team achieve good results and prove it for us UCLA, but tonight, I will go all out to prove myself~!!"

Love said.

"Haha~, I'm looking forward to it~!"

Lan Shengli responded with a smile.

"How's the ankle injury~?!"

Lan Shengli asked with concern.

"Coach Bruce wants to find out about the military situation. I remember hearing this trick when I was at UCLA, haha~!"

Love asked with a smile.

"Haha, you think too much, forget it, then I won't bother you, continue to practice, I have to go back and get ready, since you have said so, then I have to set up a good defense, haha~! !"

Lan Shengli continued to say with a smile.

"Okay, see you at the game tonight~!"

Le Fu nodded and said.

Compared with Le Fu in college, Le Fu today is much thinner and stronger, with a beard on his chin, and looks more mature.

Although the Timberwolves have a lot of players available inside, such as Al Jefferson and Ryan Hollins, Love can still get a stable playing time.

As Love's rookie season last season, he played 81 games and averaged a quasi-double-double of 11 points and 9 rebounds per game.

The offensive and defensive efficiency is also very high.

Before this season, he was absent for a period of time due to an ankle injury, but after his comeback, his performance has been very stable.

There is no astonishing aerial work, no gorgeous dribbling, only solid pick-and-rolls, screens for teammates, rebounds inside, and blocks.

What Love does is the most basic thing in a basketball game, and at the same time the most important thing.

Love played very well, but the Timberwolves' record is worse.

The team is now only 5 wins and 23 losses, not only the bottom of the Western Conference, but also the bottom of the league.

This also has a certain relationship with Love's absence.

However, after the "Wolf King" Garnett was sent to the Celtics a few seasons ago, the Timberwolves have been in a bad state for several seasons, and there seems to be no hope of revival.

At least now it belongs to a state of "a pack of wolves without a leader".

But now in the Timberwolves team, the one with the best chance to become the "new wolf king" is Love.

The same power forward position, compared with Garnett in the same period, also has the potential to become a superstar.

It's just that Garnett's basketball talent is not something that ordinary players can have.

Although talent is not enough, Love is willing to make up for it with hard work.

Perhaps it was also because of the Blue Victory team. After the start of the game against the Clippers, Love, who started the game, played very proactively.

"Dangdang~, brush~"

Able to back-up Gordon and hook the ball with a center forward.

"Swipe~!!"

He can also use the pick-and-roll with his teammates to score three-pointers from the outside.

On the defensive end, Gooden was unable to attack, and his solid rebounding skills made Jordan lose interest in offensive rebounds.

"Clang clang~!!"

It's a pity that Love's teammates have a low shooting percentage.

But Love can get it back.

The long rebound was judged by Love to be the right rebound.

After getting the rebound, Love directly hit Gooden with his back.

The two back blows and the shaking of the shoulders already left Gooden at a loss as to what to do.

"Beep~!!"

"Click, bang~, brush~!!!"

"Yeah~!!!"
