The older superstars of the NBA

"Why is Zhao not participating in the game even though he has returned to Minneapolis? Why not quickly return to the team? What on earth is he waiting for?"

"It seems that the competition in China has made him tired... I heard people say that there is very little pressure in playing in China. Maybe he has been comfortable there for too long, and now he doesn't want to play that much anymore... ..."

"Zhao is not who you say he is! His performance in the team has always been very dedicated. I think he just wants to take a rest..."

Timberwolves fans have different views on this issue and are constantly arguing online.

This is not bad. What is really bad is that after a team game, Thibodeau, as the head coach, heard about it from the reporters who were interviewing him.

"Why do you think Zhao didn't report to the team immediately? Is he expressing his dissatisfaction? Maybe he had other ideas?"

reporter asked.

Thibodeau was stunned for a moment, "What? You just said that Zhao has arrived in Minneapolis? Sorry, is this news accurate? Frankly speaking, as a head coach, I don't know Zhao's current situation. I asked his agent , He did not tell me the specific situation of Zhao, he only told me that Zhao will return to the team soon..."

The reporter took out his cell phone and showed Thibodeau the photo of Zhao Feiyang that he had taken online.After just one glance, Thibodeau's expression suddenly changed.

"In fact, Zhao has been back for four or five days... During the time when the team was losing, he was also in this city..."

After hearing this, Thibodeau finally couldn't help but say, "If that's the case, then I don't know what he wants to do? Frankly speaking, I'm very angry because I didn't expect that as the head coach of the team, I would just Got the news..."

After saying this, Coach Thibodeau turned around and left.

This was exactly what the reporter wanted, so the conversation about this interview was edited and broadcast on TV in the news that night.

Many fans have seen the anger of head coach Thibodeau and also learned that Zhao Feiyang has returned.

Many articles analyze it with seriousness.

"The reason why Zhao did not contact the team immediately seemed to be to express his dissatisfaction to the management. Since Thibodeau took office, Derek has been reused and the team has taken a different path. This is a sign of Zhao's status. A threat..."

"If I were Zhao, I would definitely not be satisfied with Thibodeau's approach. After taking office, he reused his former disciples but ignored a super core like me... You know, if it weren't for me last year, the Timberwolves would have lost There’s no way the team can win a championship... Now you want to get rid of me? Are you kidding me?"

"The Timberwolves thought that signing Derrick would solve the team's problem at the No. [-] position. In fact, it was indeed possible to do so, but now it is not... The only unstable factor is Derrick. Who No one expected that this guy could still perform at his peak and continue his form in the following games..."

"The problem facing the Timberwolves is very serious. Whether the team is united enough, including the relationship between head coach Thibodeau and the players, and whether Zhao and Derek can get along well... This Everything matters..."

Discussions from the outside world have made this matter even more out of hand.

However, Zhao Feiyang, the protagonist of the story, actually knew nothing at this time. After resting at home for a few days, he did not read the news or contact the outside world at all. He was just relaxing his body and engaging in more Spend more time playing games.

When he felt his body had recovered and was about to formally contact the team, he turned on his cell phone and found that it was almost full of calls.

Countless phone calls and messages were sent one after another. There were also many private messages on his social account, and there were many greetings from teammates on his mobile phone text messages.

"I rely on!"

"What's the situation?"

Zhao Feiyang opened the text message and looked through it. Not long after reading it, his agent David Stock called again.

"Zhao, have you had a good rest? The public opinion outside is very unfavorable to you. Have you read all the recent news?"

"what?"

Unknowingly, Zhao Feiyang quickly learned the whole story under the explanation of his agent David.He himself was very helpless about this situation.After all, he didn't do anything, but the outside media needed news and stunts, so he became a victim.

"Zhao, the team will have a game tonight."

"David, I know. I'm definitely going tonight."

"I mean you have to pay attention to your relationship with Coach Thibodeau. He is a very serious person. If you can't explain the misunderstanding between you clearly, I'm afraid you will be on the team in the future..."

"I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Feiyang began to contact his teammates.

Of course, the first person contacted was Zach LaVine.When the other party learned that he would play tonight, they happily told the news to others.

After doing this, Zhao Feiyang also rushed to the team to communicate with general manager Sam Mitchell in person, which was regarded as his official return.

The Memphis Grizzlies, who were previously ranked sixth, were defeated by them. Therefore, the lower-ranked Timberwolves Whether the team can beat the in-form Suns is also a question.

"Oh! Man, you're finally back!"

"Welcome home! If you don't come again, I will go to China to find you..."

Everyone was talking and laughing.

Derrick Rose also stood up after discovering Zhao Feiyang's return. His attitude was not as excited as the previous ones. After all, his relationship with Zhao Feiyang was relatively average, but he still took the initiative to express his attitude.

"Zhao, welcome back!"

"Derek, it's great to have the opportunity to play with you..."

After everyone expressed their opinions, the only one who remained silent was the team's head coach Thibodeau.He stood there with an indifferent expression, as if he had turned a blind eye to Zhao Feiyang's arrival.
