NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 721 discussion about loyalty

On the night of the 4th, after defeating the Timberwolves, they left the arena, and the Trail Blazers returned to Portland overnight.

After getting off the plane, he immediately drove to his manor. Jenna had been waiting for a long time. Wang Zelin didn't waste any time, and couldn't wait to pull him and spend a good night together.

After a night of fighting, Wang Zelin slept very late the next day and didn't get up until 10 o'clock.

As a result, just after getting up and taking a shower, while drinking milk, he picked up his mobile phone to surf the Internet, and suddenly a news made him stunned.

What the hell!

what's the situation?

Love took the initiative to apply for a deal with the Timberwolves management!

In fact, Wang Zelin was one of the people who knew about this relatively late. As early as 3:00 in the morning, after the news of Love's application for a transaction was confirmed, it immediately exploded.

The most exciting ones are the night owls. Originally, they roamed the Internet just because they couldn't sleep. As a result, they found such a super big melon, which directly made them excited all night.

Who is Kevin Love?

The No. 5 pick in the first round of 2008, the three-time All-Star insider, the second team of the season twice, the rebounding champion once, the current Wolves King of the Timberwolves...

Love, who debuted in his 8th year, has averaged 26+13 per game in three seasons, and is an absolute first-line power forward in the league!

If you really want to compare it, his transaction value is not inferior to that of Anthony Davis, who caused an uproar this summer. He may not be as versatile as Davis, but his offensive ability is definitely stronger than that of Dai. Weiss.

So if you really want to talk about it, the current free market transaction value of the two can basically be said to be half a catty to eight taels.

After all, Love didn't go to the Cavaliers to form the Big Three as early as Wang Zelin's impression. During his 75 games for the Timberwolves last season, he still averaged 26 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists per game. All-around performance, worthy of the wolf king say.

Right now, Love is thinking about leaving the team. It is estimated that many teams that need to strengthen the inside line are now trying to contact the Timberwolves management as soon as possible.

Speaking of the Timberwolves, the most uncomfortable thing right now is probably the Timberwolves fans.

Their wolf king is about to abandon Minnesota!

Unlike Garnett in the past, although Love has played for the Timberwolves for some years, he has not been able to lead the team to prove himself. In the first seven seasons alone, he has not even made the playoffs.

Garnett, who is at the same age, has led the team to become a regular in the Western Conference playoffs year after year, and won the personal top honor regular season MVP.

Therefore, when Garnett was in his thirties and wanted to leave Minnesota to seek a championship, he and the Timberwolves broke up peacefully, so that many Timberwolves fans expressed their blessings for the first time.

The situation of Coke is very embarrassing. He has not contributed much to the team. Although the data of personal honor is very good, he has only won the All-Star and the best second team.

Therefore, while the Timberwolves fans feel sad about his departure, they are more angry, a kind of anger after being betrayed by their own children!

"Traitor! Kevin Love he betrayed us!"

"I never thought that the guy I've been following for almost 10 years is a coward, it feels so bad."

"Oh my god, what's wrong with this league? From Chris Paul, to Anthony Davis, now to Kevin Love, what's wrong with this league?"

"With all due respect, there is no loyalty in today's NBA!"

"..."

Unexpectedly, through the disgust of the Timberwolves fans for this incident, a big discussion has also been extended.

That is, is the current NBA still loyal?

To use an old Chinese saying, I don't know since when, the NBA has gradually moved towards the collapse of rituals and music.

Perhaps, when the NBA gradually becomes globalized, it is inevitable to bind a lot of business aspects to the team, and once business is involved, there will naturally be a monetary factor in it.

Everything in the NBA today seems to have become part of the deep meaning.

...

...

Outside, there are various speculations about Kevin Love's next home; the constant discussion about "star loyalty" has also been frequently searched by major media and newspapers.

However, people always have to look forward.

After returning to Portland for a day off, the Trail Blazers continued their road trip on the morning of the 6th. Today, they headed to Utah non-stop for their first game of the season with the Jazz.

Speaking of which, the current Utah Jazz has completed the reconstruction. They have formed the core lineup of Hayward + Favors + Gobert, plus Rodney Hood, Trey Burke, Joe Ying Role players like Gulls and Alec Burks.

The Jazz aren't bad on paper, and their coach, Quinn Schneider, is a capable coach.

But again, this is the Wild West. The top ten teams are competing for eight spots this season, and the Jazz have little chance of breaking through.

However, it turns out that their strength is really not bad, and the willpower of the core players is also very tenacious, which has played a good role in the team's progress.

This game is also after the opening, Wang Zelin's first game from start to finish.

In the last three minutes, the score between the two sides was 98. At the moment of anxiety, Wang Zelin stood up and dominated the game.

First, he was double-teamed in the interior, which caused Gobert to foul the last time in the game, and he left the field with full fouls. Then he hit Favors continuously, and successfully played a wave at a critical moment, directly harvesting the game with his personal ability. ~www.mtlnovel.com~ In the end, Wang Zelin scored a season-high 48 points and 21 rebounds, plus 5 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals, helping the Blazers win the game 109-104.

After winning this game, they also extended their winning streak to 5 games.

With a 5-0 start, a margin of victory of nearly 20 points, and an average of 95 points per game, these statistics are quite good.

But as long as the team's winning streak last season reached an unprecedented 24-game winning streak, the little joy on the faces of Wang Zelin and his teammates instantly disappeared.

Yes, although the record is now ranked first in the league, compared to last year, there is really nothing to be proud of this time.

Everyone knows that last season's 24-game winning streak is a bit of luck, and it is a miracle, but because of this, it is more challenging, isn't it?

Anyone who has watched the Blazers play knows that this team is significantly stronger than last season.

Of course, it takes a few tough battles to reflect whether it is strong or not. Among the opponents of the Trail Blazers' 5-game winning streak, the strongest team is the Cavaliers in the opening game.

But the Cavaliers are now only 3 wins and 2 losses, which is not much different from the opening stage when they formed the Big Three last season.

As for the match in the opening game, in retrospect, the Cavaliers felt a bit slapped by the Blazers. They didn't expect Wang Zelin to really evolve again, which made the match between the two teams a bit anticlimactic and not strong at all. A strong duel will naturally have a little less gold content.

In other words, although they have won 5 consecutive victories at the beginning, they have always defeated their opponents in a way of crushing strength, but this is not enough to prove the strength of the Blazers.

They need a strong enemy of considerable weight, preferably in the same division.
