Chapter 137 [Philadelphia Challenge: Lu Deng came to "learn" again]

Two days later, the Timberwolves ushered in their second preseason opponent at home.

This is also Luden's first appearance this season, the home of the Timberwolves-Target Center.

The summer league was played in Las Vegas, and the first preseason game was played in Indiana. Many Minnesota fans have not had the opportunity to watch Luden play live.

The opportunity came, and the first opponent was the visiting Philadelphia 76ers.

Tickets were sold out within 10 minutes of opening.Timberwolves general manager Milt Newton is particularly regretful, and he should have doubled the price earlier!

Now it seems that as long as Lu Deng is here, the tickets will not worry about selling!

……

In the locker room, assistant head coach Ryan Saunders brought the 76ers scouting report, each with a copy.

Lu Deng looked at it, good guy, people who can barely be named are all on the injured list, this year's No. [-] pick Joel Embiid is reimbursed for the season; Nerlens Noel does not know when he will return; and Michael Carter-Williams, who is a little famous, is also on the injured list.

Lu Deng didn't know anyone who was not on the injured list.What Brandon Davis, Luke Mbah a Moute, Tony Roten, Alexei Sheved, Henry Sims...

In the past, I only thought that the Timberwolves' card was bad, and the 76ers' card was even worse. They were all rotten.

It's really hard for the 76ers, who are endlessly bad, almost becoming a joke of the league.The 76ers were not like this before.Lu Deng watched Iverson play when he was very young. He was so chic and handsome, playing all over the league.

Look at the current 76ers. Not only are they ugly, but they still play poorly. I really think that the 76ers should give money to every fan who comes to watch the game, thanking them for being there.

"Ryan, who will I defend then?" Lu Deng asked the assistant coach.

Ryan smiled and said: "Don't be defensive, these people let them go to the basket, and three can score at most one."

Everyone laughed.

Lu Deng asked again: "Who will guard against me?"

Rubio said while changing jerseys: "I guess Prince Luke is guarding you?"

"Prince Luke?"

Several "old men" of the Timberwolves laughed, and Ryan said, "It's Luke Richard Mbah a Moute. In my trade between the Wolves, the Cavaliers and the 76ers, Luke and Sheved were sent to the 76ers. , it is said that he is the son of a chief in Cameroon, Africa, so he is called 'Prince Luke'."

Rubio said with a smile: "He is still a fellow of Joel Embiid, and it is said that he 'discovered' Embiid."

"He found Embiid?"

"He said that himself, they are both from Cameroon. Luke said that three years ago, he gave Embiid some advice in Cameroon. He was a Bucks player and held a training camp. Once he saw Embiid play, he encouraged Embiid to practice basketball."

"So, so to speak, Prince Luke is still a bole!"

"Who knows if he's bragging! Embiid said he killed a lion with his bare hands, do you believe it?"

"I believe it. There is a hero in our country named Wu Song who killed a tiger when he was drunk."

"Hey!" The team members were all stunned!
"Mysterious Africa, Mysterious China!"

Lu Deng looked at the scouting report and said, "Prince Luke is playing small forward or power forward, I can't match him!"

Rubio said: "He is a prince, and his father is a chief and an important member of the government of Cameroon. Prince Luke has to bring his entourage when he comes in and out. For such a person, he doesn't care if you are right or not! The prince does things, what else should he talk about?" Rules? In short, just don’t get blocked by him, he is a good defender.”

"Really? So I have to study him well. But if he is so good, why is he being traded and traded? Why don't I know him after playing for so many years?"

The honest center Gurgui Dean said: "Ricky is not joking. Luke was traded. He was very angry. He had long threatened to come back and capture Minnesota. And his defensive ability is indeed very strong. You have to be careful. .

"Also, I follow his twitter. During the draft, he sent a twitter. You were mentioned in the twitter. The wording was very rude, saying that Embiid was the No. [-] pick, and it should not be you. Yesterday he Sent another tweet, 呶呶呶, see for yourself."

As Dean said, he found the tweet from Luke Bamott yesterday on his mobile phone, and handed it to Lu Deng, "This guy who is overbearing, seems to be trying to make things difficult for you."

Lu Deng took the phone to look around, and Luke wrote on Twitter: "Don't ask me about the Chinese, I don't know him, Embiid is the strongest rookie, tomorrow I will prove that the Chinese is A paper lion, I'll beat him out of his original shape!"

"Paper lion, haha, we call it paper tiger in China! Whether it is a paper tiger or not, we will see after the competition."

……

In the pre-match press conference, Sanders took Lu Deng to participate as usual.

76ers head coach Brett Brown is leading Luke Mbah a Moute.They really have no one to take!
The last press conference was one-sided, and this time it was even worse. All the reporters asked Lu Deng questions.

The local Minnesota media first asked: "Lu Deng, today is your debut at the Timberwolves' home court. Will you continue to perform miraculously?"

"You have to ask God about this, I can't make the decision."

"What preparations have you made?"

"The coach doesn't allow it to be said, and whoever says the fine will pay. Only he can say it, and you can ask him. In fact, I think this is too unfair!"

Luden made fun of Sanders and got a lot of laughter.

"Do you know what nicknames you have now?"

"Don't scare me, what are they calling me?"

"There are too many, the Emperor of China, the Wonder Boy, the King of Shooting Kings, the new Wolf King, right, right, TNT calls you Madman Lu Deng, and also calls you the 'King of Arrogance'!"

Lu Deng muttered in Chinese: "Go to his uncle's TNT!"

"What do you mean?"

I mean, "TNT is funny."

The press conference became Lu Deng's one-man show, and he answered more than a dozen questions. The last question was from the team reporter of the Philadelphia 76ers:
"Luden, if it wasn't for Joel Embiid's injury, maybe he would be selected by the Cavaliers as the No. 76 pick, then you may be selected by the 76ers. Have you paid attention to the 76ers before the draft? And how do you evaluate Embiid? Germany and the [-]ers?"

This question seems ordinary, and there is a faint sour taste of wanting to recruit Lu Deng to the 76ers. In fact, there is a hidden murderous intention.If the answer is not good, it is possible to hurt the Timberwolves and offend the 76ers, and it is even possible to venge Embiid!
Absolutely is a provocative question.

Lu Deng chuckled and said: As far as I know, Philadelphia is a 'city of heroes', and the Philadelphia 76ers is a team with many heroes. came to learn..."

When a group of reporters heard the word "study", they almost laughed.

Good guy, I said "City of Heroes" and "study" again. The last time I went to Indiana to "study", I didn't beat Indiana to death. CJ Miles' pillow hasn't dried yet...
