"What? I don't want to... I told the team a long time ago that I will come here to retire, and I will retire when this season is over..."
"But there are so many fans outside looking forward to you..."
"Stop it... I have done enough for the city of Minneapolis. I devoted the best youth of my career here. Now I don't want to work too hard anymore. I just hope that I can I can retire smoothly in my career without any more injuries..."
When Zhao Feiyang found Kevin Garnett, he fully thought that the other party would agree to this matter. Unexpectedly, Kevin Garnett was very resistant to this and directly rejected his request.
Seeing Kevin Garnett's persistence, Zhao Feiyang really had nothing to say.
"Kevin, I respect your idea!"
"If that's the case, then so be it..."
Zhao Feiyang left with disappointment.
He quickly conveyed the news to head coach Philip Sanders. Philip Sanders seemed to have expected it and was not surprised by it.
"It doesn't matter... We still have Nikola Pekovic... If there are not enough people inside, let them hold on a little longer..."
"There is no other way..."
"It's a pity that we traded Kevin Love away. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many problems inside the team..."
Coach Phillip Sanders also regretted it at this time.
When Kevin Love was traded, neither he nor the entire Timberwolves expected what would happen next. Therefore, they just thought it was profitable and sent Kevin Love away.
Unexpectedly, the Timberwolves have also made it to the playoffs. If Kevin Love had not left, with the cooperation between him and Zhao Feiyang, the team might have been able to reach the second round or even the Western Conference finals.
But now everything is in vain.
The only thing that makes coach Philip Sanders happy is that they did not send Kevin Love to a team in the Western Conference.
In this way, even if you strengthen your opponent, you will not directly make the opponent a threat to you.
The third game will soon come.
The Golden State Warriors visit the Minnesota Timberwolves.
In order not to let their team lose momentum, Minnesota Timberwolves fans also specially dressed up this time.
Fans not only wore uniform colors to cheer for the home team, but also held up many slogans to boost the team's morale.
When the Golden State Warriors entered the court before the game, the Timberwolves fans even booed crazily in order to dampen the Warriors' arrogance.
Fortunately, when the host read the names of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, most fans gave them enough applause. Although it was not warm enough, it was still a welcome.
But when it was Draymond Green's turn to appear, the entire scene exploded.
Countless fans booed, and more people directly cursed. A group of fans even kept making international friendly gestures towards Draymond Green.
"Draymond, you are a stupid ass...a poor guy who only relies on referees..."
"Fuck Raymond! You don't deserve to play on this court. We only welcome guys who win with strength, and people like you will only steal the game with dishonorable means..."
"Go away you asshole! You make me sick..."
The fans continued to jeer, and the overwhelming firepower was directed at Draymond Green alone.
The latter was also very unhappy and responded with the same "international friendly gesture" to those fans, and also deliberately put his hands to his ears in a provocative gesture.
"what are you saying?"
"I can't hear it! I never care about the words of the weak..."
"Screen! Just scold me! Anyway, I will take away this victory..."
The tension between the two sides was evident from the beginning.
Soon, the game started on the court.
After Thaddeus Young was gone, the Timberwolves replaced Thaddeus Young with Nikola Pekovic, who moved inside to guard Draymond Green.
Kevin Garnett, who could have played the fourth and fifth positions, also sat on the bench because of his refusal.
His participation in the first two games was not high, and he only played 21 minutes in total. In this game, head coach Philip Sanders took his attitude into consideration and simply put him on the bench and stopped playing.
Kevin Garnett seemed to be happy with this arrangement, sitting on the bench chatting with the staff next to him and greeting the fans in the VIP seats behind him.
"Hey Kevin, you okay?"
Just when Kevin Garnett was in the crowd, in the VIP auditorium behind him, a five or six-year-old boy yelled at him with a milky voice.
When Kevin Garnett saw it was a little boy, he smiled and waved in response, "I'm fine, how about you? Little guy, are you here alone?"
"No, I'm with my dad..."
The little boy said, pointing to a man behind him.
The man in a suit also greeted Kevin Garnett with a smile.
"Kevin, why didn't you play? I heard my dad say that you are the soul of the team...Dad was watching your games when he was very young, and our whole family is your fan... ....”
In response to the little boy's question, Kevin Garnett really didn't know what to say, "Well... I will play, but I am old now... I mean, I can no longer fight like I did when I was young..."
"You will understand later..."
Kevin Garnett had a forced smile on his face.
Once upon a time, this proud man would never say such a thing. His dignity and pride would never allow these words to come out of his mouth.
"There is no impossible in my dictionary..."
The little boy suddenly spoke.
It was this simple sentence that suddenly struck Kevin Garnett's heart. He froze in place for a long time without speaking, and the forced smile on his face completely stiffened.
This sentence is his quotation!
It was also what he said when he was with the Timberwolves!
He used to fight hard for victory. He went all out every game day and night, trying everything he could to lead the team to victory.
But now...the sharp contrast made Kevin Garnett look in a daze, as if he had returned to those nights in Minneapolis many years ago!
After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and smiled, "Little guy, what's your name?"
"My name is Chris."
"Chris, thank you for your words...I'll be out there playing, remember to cheer me on from the sidelines..."
After saying that, Kevin Garnett walked towards the seat of head coach Philip Sanders.
