Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Regarding the report about Sakuragi Hanamichi, Budao also included the newspaper in his bag after paying a little attention.

Everyone has their own adventure, and Martial Arts will not pay too much attention to such things, or in other words, it is too early for him to pay attention to these things now.

Sakuragi's basketball life is far from over, and he has achieved such results in high school. With his talent, it is likely that some universities have already invited him to receive a full scholarship.

This does not require martial arts to pay more attention to him.

He just needs to play his game well and increase his voice in the team.

Even, when Hanamichi Sakuragi participates in the draft in the future, Budo may have grown to the extent that he can influence the team's draft.

But in the NBA, it still depends on individual ability.

If there is no capital based on the court, the big capitalists in the NBA will not use their free dollars to do good things. Even with the help of martial arts, Sakuragi ultimately needs to rely on his own abilities to break out of his own world.

On April 6th, many Timberwolves players returned to Minnesota.

Then the next day, the Timberwolves faced the Heat at home, and finally defeated the Heat with a score of 102:89, winning another home game.

Marbury's outstanding performance also laid the foundation for the Timberwolves' victory.

The terrifying offensive efficiency allowed Iverson to score 43 points in a single game. He dragged a group of weak teammates and played four quarters with the top team in the Western Conference like the Timberwolves, leaving the suspense of victory until the game. the last moment.

In terms of Wu Dao's personal status in the team and his reputation in the league, personal data has a relatively limited role for him.

Wu Dao is not the kind of person who is unsophisticated. Facing a weak team like the 76ers and an opponent like Allen Iverson who is well-known in the entire league, Marbury will be given enough room to perform. Still quite necessary.

A rough comparison, eh! Marbury is actually not bad, and he did not show any obvious shortcomings in the matchup with Iverson.

This game allowed Wu Dao to see the terrifying ability of Iverson at his peak.

This has slightly expanded Marbury's reputation.

The result also made Martial Arts a little happy.

Unlike him, Marbury has not been able to properly raise his worth during his two seasons with the Timberwolves. Although Marbury never said anything about this matter, he inevitably had this consideration in his heart.

What he needs now is big honors like MVP and championship.

After the game, Iverson, who scored 43 points in a single game, overwhelming the Timberwolves star player Wu Dao, naturally became the focus of heated discussion among the media and fans.

Wu Dao made relatively few breakthroughs in this game. He mostly acted as a fixed-point shooter and assisted Marbury in the offense.

Marbury took full advantage of his position and applauded his winning teammates on the bench. Although he failed to guard against the sharp Iverson in the matchup, he still showed his own style and was all-round. Played 43 minutes, made 13 of 8 shots, 4 of 3 three-pointers, 10 of 9 free throws, and scored 28 points in a single game.

After winning the game against the Heat, the Timberwolves still visited home and faced the Philadelphia 76ers led by Allen Iverson.

Although Marbury does not have the "absolute" scoring ability of Iverson, his performance is still very good, even more comprehensive than Iverson.

It's just that Wu Dao felt average today. He played 37 minutes, took 21 shots, and "just" scored 35 points.

Therefore, in this game, Wu Dao is willing to assume such a supporting role, just hoping that Marbury can perform well under the pressure of Iverson.

Wu Dao also played very easily in this game. His opponent, All-Star Derek Coleman, focused more on offense and did not make much achievements on the defensive end against Wu Dao. .

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the 107ers with a difficult 102:76, winning this back-to-back battle.

He played 44 minutes in a single game, almost the entire game. Then, chased and intercepted by the Timberwolves' outside defenders, he took 26 crazy shots and hit 15 of them. Even in an away game, Ivor Sen also rushed inside, got 14 free throws, and hit 12 of them.

While discussing Iverson's outstanding personal abilities, Marbury, who plays against him, will inevitably be compared.

There are also fans who call the three young Timberwolves, Wu Dao, Garnett, and Marbury, the "Trident" or the "Three Wolves."

After the game, the 30ers, who had 48 wins and 76 losses, left the game sadly. Iverson returned to the lounge without saying a word, feeling quite bad.

Sitting in the lounge and looking around at his teammates, Iverson also felt unspeakable.

"I always feel like my teammates are not good enough."

At this time, Iverson had the same idea in his heart as that of a later anti-mage titleholder.

76人全场比赛仅有两人得分上双，除了艾弗森自己的43人之外，德里克-科尔曼在武道的头上强势的获得了19分。除了他们两个人之外，其他队员的得分基本就是8分6分4分。

Iverson really experienced the heavy feeling of being alone in today's game against the Timberwolves.

He already felt that he was playing very well, and he felt that the guys he was playing against had been stabbed by him, but even so, they still couldn't win.

Looking back at the Timberwolves, from Iverson's perspective, today's Timberwolves can be said to be more blossoming. Not to mention Wu Dao, Marbury and Garnett, even Tom, who takes relatively few shots, is scoring in double figures. Even Chris Kyle, who came off the bench, scored in double figures.

In Iverson's view, he lost not because he was inferior to his opponent, but because he did not have suitable helpers. He didn't need more. If there was another one, he would be confident that he could defeat the Timberwolves.

You know, the current Timberwolves are the best team in the Western Conference aiming for the championship!

What Iverson may not know is that the help he wants may not be easy to come by.

Among the four major shooting guards in the future, Iverson is more powerful and more resistant than Tracy McGrady; but he is not as lucky as Kobe.

There is no chance of a championship with him, even if he averages 30+ per game in the playoffs.

After the Timberwolves defeated the 76ers, they then played back-to-back games against the Utah Jazz at home.

In this game against the Jazz, the Timberwolves continued to advance as they did in the previous games.

In this game, Malone ushered in a big explosion. He worked hard for 44 minutes and scored an exaggerated 37 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists.

Garnett seemed unable to recover from yesterday's high-intensity game. He only scored 42 points and 14 rebounds in 9 minutes of play, and was beaten by Malone in all directions.

Marbury is still in great condition. After the game against the 76ers, his matchup with Iverson seemed to have made him find confidence. In this game against the Jazz, he played very decisively and had a superstar style. . He made 17 of 11 shots from the field and 4 of 4 three-pointers. He scored 30 points and 10 assists.

On the martial arts side, seeing that Marbury was in great condition, he acted as a 3D for a while, assisting his teammates and scoring 31 points in a single game.

The Timberwolves' outside players performed well. Even though Garnett inside was beaten by Malone, they still pulled the team forward. In the end, they led the team by 110 points at 102:8 and once again won the game against the Jazz.

The players of the Timberwolves won consecutive games and were full of momentum. Then on April 107th, they played against the Pacers in an away game and won the opponent with a huge score of 88:.

Immediately without taking any rest, he flew directly to Salt Lake City to play against the Jazz away from home.

The Timberwolves' games during this period were basically back-to-back, and the game against the Jazz took place in the harsh environment of Salt Lake City, Utah.

At this moment, the players' condition dropped to its lowest point.

And the good thing is that for some reason in this game, the old boy Malone once again ushered in an explosion. Under the strict defense of many insiders such as Garnett and Ben Wallace, he made crazy shots in a single game. 28 times, he hit 14 of them, but the most exaggerated thing is that with the blessing of the Salt Lake City referee, he got 19 free throws and hit 16 of them.

He scored 44 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists in a single game, forming an all-round blow to Garnett.

On the other hand, Garnett made 17 of 7 in the game and only took 4 free throws. Even though he made all the free throws, his personal score was only 18 points.

Wu Dao was a bit targeted by the opponent's referee in this game. The Jazz players even hung on Wu Dao when they were defending, but the whistle still did not sound.

Under the pursuit and interception of the Jazz, Wu Dao also encountered the Waterloo of his career, scoring 26 points on 26 shots, a tribute to Nacha.

The sluggish performance of Martial Arts has had disastrous consequences for the team.

The Jazz showed no mercy and finally defeated the Timberwolves 126:109, ending the Timberwolves' "criminal" winning streak.

Amid the roaring cheers of Salt Lake City fans, the Timberwolves players sadly left the field.

At the press conference after the game, a reporter from Utah, who had some good intentions, handed the microphone to Budao and asked Budao how he felt about losing.

In this regard, Wu Dao could only humbly take the blame for the team's loss into his own hands, saying frankly that he was too strong in today's game.

The reporters who attended the post-game press conference were also surprised by Wu Dao's straightforward attitude of taking over the blame. On the contrary, these people respected Wu Dao from the bottom of their hearts and did not continue to make things difficult for Wu Dao during the interview.

If you win, you will blow, if you lose, you will be black.

For the majority of fans, this kind of operation is completely normal. In fact, after losing to the Jazz, Wu Dao has also been mentally prepared for fans to teach him how to play basketball.

But what he didn't expect was that what he expected didn't happen.

Although the fans were a little concerned about the Timberwolves losing by a big score, they still gave the greatest goodwill and affirmation to Wu Dao who took the initiative to take responsibility. Timberwolves fans actually felt that Wu Dao's statement after losing the game was quite leadership-like.

In the subsequent home game between the Timberwolves and the Rockets, the fans cheered even more enthusiastically for the Timberwolves players.

Houston Rockets.

A strong enemy among strong enemies, but in this game with the Rockets, the Timberwolves did not fall into a tough battle. The reason is very simple.
Although Olajuwon returned from injury, unfortunately, the Rockets' "real" thigh Charles Barkley was injured and is in the recovery period.

In the game against the Timberwolves, Rockets coach Lao Tang chose to give up strategically.

Since Olajuwon was injured this season, his condition has declined sharply. He only scored 20 points and 10 rebounds against the Timberwolves and Rockets. These ten rebounds are all backcourt rebounds.
In the end, the Timberwolves easily took away the victory with 102:95. In today's game, Wu Dao was deliberately shortened by coach Philip, playing only 27 minutes and surrendering 31+4+ After the data of 4, he ended early.

The state of martial arts began to improve after a day's rest, which was naturally noticed by coaches and fans.

Coach Philip noticed that the condition of Garnett and others had declined to a certain extent, and he also considered it.

The playoffs are very close, and players need to preserve their form in subsequent games.

4 month 18 day.

The Timberwolves play against the Bucks away from home.

Coach Philip rested all the team's main players and only asked Marbury to play for 15 minutes to sort out the team's offensive rhythm, and then replaced him with Chriss.

The Timberwolves are obviously interested in training, and the Bucks are also aware of their intentions and plan to win this game.

Ray Allen went crazy and scored 40 points in a single game.

But it is a pity that the Timberwolves' substitutes finally got a chance to show their strength, and every one of them worked hard.

And now this buck was actually punched to death by a group of Timberwolves substitutes.

111: 109.

Coach Philip, Wu Dao and others did not expect that in such a game that they were planning to give up, they actually won by two points due to the efforts of the substitutes.
The victory of the Timberwolves was directly caused by Ray Allen, who played 45 minutes, made 27 of 15 shots and 10 of 6 three-pointers, completely breaking the defense.

After the game ended, he didn't stay in the stadium for even a second, and walked directly to the lounge angrily. Even next to the players' tunnel, there were young fans holding jerseys hoping to get Ray Allen's autograph, but they were ignored.

The little fan is only ten years old and has experienced the cruelty of the adult world early~
At this point, the Timberwolves' regular season has officially come to an end.

Ranked first in the Western Conference, they will start their playoff journey at the end of this month.

On the day after the game against the Bucks, Wu Dao, who had no more games, privately called O'Neal and asked for some family and friends tickets for the Lakers home game.

4 month 19 day.

Budao took his little girlfriend, made an appointment with Sakuragi Hanamichi, and showed up at the game between the Lakers and Jazz.

Even before the game started, when the director's camera cut to martial arts, it triggered a burst of cheers from the fans.
