Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Wu Dao knew that his condition had declined due to consecutive days of games. After the second game with the Trail Blazers, Wu Dao also found coach Philip, hoping to be able to compete in the next game with the Nuggets and the Grizzlies afterwards. Take breaks during the game.

Take turns.

In today's NBA, resting superstars is not popular at all. Stars in this era are the most concerned about face. As long as they can persist, they will play in the game no matter what.

In the regular season, this situation is pretty good. Once it comes to the playoffs, the stars are fighting for their lives.

It can be said that in the playoffs, many players are betting their careers and fighting their opponents. Many people were injured and continued to play in isolation. The number of players who continued to play despite their injuries was too numerous to count.

A rookie like Wu Dao who had just achieved some results actually asked the coach to take a break from the game. This was really outrageous and Philip had never seen it before.

However, Martial Arts himself thought very quickly about resting himself as a rising rookie.

Rest is to be able to play better, and he is different from many rookies. He thinks that he has established a foothold in the Timberwolves and does not need to worry about resting for one or two games. Affect your own team's status.

Because he asked Coach Phillip about resting martial arts, his expression was calm, as if he was talking about a normal thing.

"Did the postman's elbow earlier have any impact on you?!"

"The instrument didn't detect it, but you still feel uncomfortable?"

"Well, if you want to rest, then just rest for one game. The next game is against the Nuggets."

"Even if you rest, it shouldn't have much impact on our team."

Although Coach Philip was greatly surprised, he quickly found the "reason" for Wu Dao and agreed with a concerned look on his face. Although the martial arts break has a great impact on the Timberwolves' strength, in terms of schedule, the Timberwolves are still quite relaxed.

After the game against the Trail Blazers on November 11, the Timberwolves had no game on the 26th, which was considered a bye day. On the 27th, their opponent was the Nuggets.

This team is now at the bottom of the Western Conference, bottom of the middle, and has lost all 12 games from the beginning of the season to now! ! !

Coach Philip doesn't think such a team can have any impact on the Timberwolves.

After the game against the Nuggets, on the 29th of this month, the Timberwolves will face the Grizzlies from afar at home.

The Grizzlies are a new team, and all the players are very young. At the beginning of the season, the Grizzlies had 6 wins and 10 losses, and their record was not very good. In terms of hard power, these two teams and the Timberwolves have certain advantages. difference.

Even without martial arts, Philip is fully confident that he can win these two games.

So when Wu Dao made such a request, Coach Philip thought for a moment and nodded directly in agreement.

Wu Dao also had his own considerations in asking for leave for these two games. He made such a request to the coach after studying the schedule in detail.

After defeating the Trail Blazers on 26, the Timberwolves will play against the Nuggets and Grizzlies on the 28th and 29th.

After these two games, there will be no Timberwolves games on November 11th, December 30st, and December 12nd. It will not be until the third day of next month that the Timberwolves will face the Pacers from afar at home.

This also means that Wu Dao does not need to leave Minnesota at all during this period. He has nearly a week to rest, which is directly a short vacation.

Wu Dao is not the kind of ignorant person. Before asking for leave, he also studied his opponents. He felt that the Timberwolves could win the two games he missed steadily!

On the 27th, everyone in the Timberwolves boarded a chartered flight to Denver.

When boarding the plane, Garnett and others noticed that Wu Dao was not here today, and they all curiously asked about Wu Dao.

In this regard, coach Philip's explanation was that Wu Dao had some physical problems and needed to adjust for a period of time. He hinted to the players that Malone's elbow hit had some impact on Wu Dao.

In this regard, the Timberwolves' players did not doubt him, but instead became concerned about Wu Dao's physical condition.

"I knew that guy was holding on!"

"How could the postman's forceful blow not have any effect?!"

"I hope he's okay!"

After Garnett heard the news, he didn't feel gloating at all. Instead, he became worried. Although martial arts and him are in a competitive relationship, they are teammates, and Garnett also knows very well how much the existence of martial arts can help him.

The position of team boss is indeed very important, but this is the NBA, and the highest honor is called the championship, not the team boss.

A player's own commercial value is also linked to his own honor. Nothing can enhance a player's commercial value more than a championship.

"The postman has also been absent from the Jazz's recent games."

"It seems like these two people are both losing."

"But I think the situation in martial arts should be better."

"His performance in yesterday's game was still very good!"

After hearing the news, Marbury thought for a moment and expressed relief to the team members. Hearing this, the heavy looks on the faces of the Timberwolves' players also disappeared one after another. Marbury is right. Since Martial Arts was able to hit 30+ points in a single game yesterday, it means that Malone's elbow attack has a limited impact on him, and he can just make some adjustments.

With their worries gone, the Timberwolves players who got on the plane became active, chatting with each other and talking about interesting things that had happened recently.

When the Timberwolves took a charter flight to leave Minnesota early in the morning, Budao was sleeping in at home.

Although the biological clock woke up Wu Dao in the morning, Wu Dao made himself two omelettes after getting up, drank half a glass of milk, then went back to bed and slept comfortably.

After getting up at noon, Wu Dao made several phone calls in succession, and then stayed at home to rest and relax.

He didn't touch a basketball all day long. He just did some exercise in the evening and completed some "daily tasks."

For martial arts, this is a rare leisure time.

The next day, Budo, who had been at home all day, left Minnesota and went to Syracuse University. Takako Fujima is now a freshman at Syracuse University. She went to Syracuse University to have a good exchange with her girlfriend.

Everyone is now an adult, so the way of communication is naturally different from that in high school.

But while he was having fun with his girlfriend, his teammates who went to Denver gave Martial Arts a big surprise.

The evening of July 11.

森林狼以84:95憾负掘金11分，吃到了队伍本赛季到现在为止的第二场败仗。一支12连败的垫底球队居然是赢下了12胜1负的森林狼，这种令人大跌眼镜的事情，就发生在了球迷们的面前。

When the team loses, Timberwolves fans immediately curse. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Of course, the fans hope that the Timberwolves can keep winning, ten consecutive wins, twenty consecutive wins, or even thirty consecutive wins.

But what disappoints them is that facing a garbage team like the Nuggets, the Timberwolves still lose. After the team lost, Wu Dao, who was absent "due to injury", was often talked about by fans. The most common thing said by fans was "If Wu Dao was here, the Timberwolves would not lose."

It was Coach Philip who "reported" the team's defeat to Budao, but Budao did not hear any unwillingness or anger in Philip's tone. On the contrary, Coach Philip's mood was very calm.

As for why it was calm, it was because after the game, Philip's assistant coach sent the team statistics to him. There are no major problems with the players' performance, and the team's overall shooting percentage is maintained at a "not bad" baseline. Except for the 9-1 three-pointer, all other statistics can be overlooked.

Of course, what can calm Philip down is another statistic, which is the number of fouls.

The Timberwolves committed 41 fouls in the game, and Garnett was sent off the court. However, the Nuggets committed 23 fouls. Well, it's very healthy and normal.

By the way, in their game against the Jazz, the Timberwolves had 37 fouls as a team, while the Jazz had 39 fouls.

The number of fouls committed in the game between the Timberwolves and the Nuggets was actually greater than the number of fouls committed in the bayonet fight with the Utah Jazz.

As for why, everyone understands.

After this game, I think many bosses will be able to make a lot of money. The 12-0 bottom team defeated the Timberwolves, who are now the number one in the Western Conference. The odds are amazing~

Coach Philip is a veteran, and he has some tacit understandings. You understand, I understand, and everyone understands. He won’t yell around with his mouth open. He is not the current Raptors coach. After losing to the Lakers, he actually tried to give " "Goat" added to the obstruction, shouting, "The Lakers must win? If you really told me in advance that we won't fight!"

Coach Philip is a sensible person. When he knows that he should shut up, he must learn to shut up.

And coincidentally, without martial arts in the game against the Nuggets, the focus of Timberwolves fans will naturally not be on the unbalanced number of fouls between the two teams, but on "the team is the boss, so they lost." At this point.

"what happened?"

Longzi leaned against Wu Dao and couldn't help but asked curiously when he saw Wu Dao put down the phone.

"It's nothing, I'll go back tomorrow."

"Even if you don't play, you still have to show up."

Wu Dao gently hugged the person on the pillow, shook his head and said. Hearing this, Longzi hugged Wu Dao's neck with some reluctance, stretched his neck, and brought his lips to Wu Dao's mouth.

On the morning of November 11, Budao took the morning flight and flew back to Minnesota.

At noon, Wu Dao went to the Target Center Arena and met his teammates who had just experienced a defeat.

When the Timberwolves players saw Wu Dao arriving at the arena, they all lowered their heads and turned a blind eye, not daring to look at Wu Dao at all.

Without martial arts, they dare to lose to a bottom team like the Nuggets. This kind of thing is really too embarrassing.

"Martial Arts, why are you here?"

"Isn't it rest and adjustment?"

Garnett saw the tired-looking Wu Dao walking into the court, and immediately came up to say hello. Looking at Wu Dao's face, Garnett also showed some worry on his face.

"There's nothing wrong with me."

"I originally planned to come to the arena and touch the ball."

Martial Arts told the truth, but to Garnett's ears, his words sounded a bit showy.

"Since your body is in trouble, let's take a good rest!"

"Don't worry, yesterday's game was just an accident. Such a thing will never happen again!"

"We will definitely take down the Grizzlies tonight!"

Garnett doesn't want to give people the inherent impression that "the Timberwolves can't even beat the Nuggets without martial arts." He wants to prove himself and the team's ability through tonight's game.

The other team members also noticed Wu Dao's expression. After Garnett came up to him, they all gathered around Wu Dao. Without saying anything, they all stood in front of Wu Dao and expressed their determination.

Although the Timberwolves are a young team and Wu Dao has not known each other very long, the team's cohesion is still very strong.

This cohesion became stronger after Wu Dao and Malone "exchanged one for one"; the team lost to the Nuggets; Wu Dao dragged his "sick body" to the arena.

The enthusiasm of his teammates surprised Wu Dao. Seeing the determination of these buddies, Wu Dao was also stunned.

He never expected that this group of people would be so "cowardly after knowing their shame" after losing. He was really moved.

"Okay, come on tonight, I will fight side by side with you!"

The enthusiasm of the teammates made the martial arts infected, and the enthusiasm for playing was ignited. The fatigue in the body was swept away, and he excitedly said to the team members.

But as soon as Wu Dao finished speaking, a group of team members gathered around Wu Dao and persuaded him.

"Have a good rest! Martial Arts!"

"Your health is important. Don't worry about today's game. We will definitely win for you!"

"Just sit on the sidelines and watch, we will definitely eat the grizzly bear down!"

Garnett, Chris Kyle and others said words of assurance one after another. When they said this, Wu Dao suddenly had an illusion in his heart: "Am I really seriously injured?"

evening.

The game between the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies started with the players at the target center.

Philip did not arrange for Wu Dao to play today, but Wu Dao still entered the court with his teammates.

The Minnesota home fans saw the figure of Martial Arts among the players in attendance, and their cheers immediately broke through the dome.

Garnett and others were also infected by the enthusiasm of the home fans. When mobilizing before the game, there was no need for Philip to say any nonsense. A group of players started martial arts, and then started pre-game encouragement around the martial arts.

As the buzzer sounded, Garnett and others walked into the court with determination on their faces.

Hmm. The Timberwolves are as powerful as a rainbow.

106: 87.

The Timberwolves' players proved their strength with a big victory. Although the fans did not see the martial arts performance, they were very happy to see the home team sweep away yesterday's decline. Six players from the Timberwolves scored in double figures, and Tom scored 6 points, 23 rebounds and 10 assists.

The performance of the Timberwolves today also restored some confidence among the fans in the Timberwolves.

The November game also came to an end amidst the cheers of the fans.
