"What's going on? Blake buckled?"
"Gift Crab! Is this guy so fierce? Adrian became a complete background this time! There was also a foul..."
"Being detained again? Adrian has no power to fight back in front of Blake!"
Fans on the sidelines were talking a lot.
On the court, Blake Griffin also officially stepped to the free throw line.
He looked very excited when he succeeded in the dunk. He smiled at his teammates, hit his hand again, and took the thrown basketball from the referee's hand.
Bang bang.
Griffin took two shots, then raised the basketball and threw a free throw.
Uh-huh.
The basketball fell steadily into the basket.
Two plus one scored.
Adrian Ennis, who was detained, was extremely desperate at this time. His face was very ugly, and he was quite absent-minded while standing on the court.
"Hey, Adrian, what are you doing? Go serve."
Zach LaVine went to the basket to remind him, and Adrian also woke up.
He quickly gave the ball away and then accelerated toward the half court.
From this moment on, Adrian was in no condition. I don't know if it was a psychological shadow. In the following time, his defense against Griffin failed.
As long as the two sides compete on the court, Adrian will be beaten by the opponent under the basket. Adrian was able to grab a rebound before, but after this time, Adrian's protection of the rebound was gone.
His mental state is also very trance, and he always misses people on the court.
call out.
Head coach Norman Thomas finally couldn't stand it anymore and made a substitution signal to the referee. After the whistle sounded, he hurriedly replaced Adrian.
This time, Coach Norman was very dissatisfied and even ignored Adrian's dismissal with a straight face.
"Gorgi, go up and protect our rebounds."
"clear."
Coach Norman warned inside player Gorgui Dieng.
Adrian walked to the bench lonely, and when his teammates didn't give him a seat, he could only walk towards the edge.
After walking to the furthest position from the court, he sat down and rested.
From this moment on, Adrian never got any playing time.
Head coach Norman no longer gave him any trust. Instead, he put his hope in the second substitute center player Greg Smith.
The latter did not live up to the expectations of head coach Norman, and his performance was relatively stable in the remaining time.
Of course he didn't perform amazingly, but as the team's substitute center, he did fulfill his responsibilities and obligations perfectly.
Beep.
The sound of the live timer reaching zero sounded.
The game between the two sides finally ended, with the score tied at 109 to 100. Although the Los Angeles Clippers have a group of excellent players, they still failed to stop the Timberwolves, especially Zhao Feiyang.
Zhao Feiyang played 39 minutes and scored 44 points by himself, while also delivering 7 assists and 3 steals.
He alone accounted for nearly half of the team's points, and continued to attract double-teams from the opponent when he was not holding the ball, helping the team create more opportunities.
At the end of the game, the Timberwolves players quickly left.
The game quickly appeared on the nightly news in Minneapolis.
The media highly praised Zhao Feiyang's performance in this game, especially his strong output at the last moment, which made Minneapolis fans full of hope for him.
As for Adrian, who was highly anticipated before the game, the media also gave a very venomous evaluation.
In particular, some commentators on local TV stations made some very unkind comments about Adrian.
"Oh God! Is this the result of special training? If so, then I can only say that it is really terrible!"
"You don't know, right? Let me break some big news. In fact, when Zhao first found Olajuwon, he was unwilling to specially train this young man named Adrian... .Man, for only fifty thousand dollars, how could Olajuwon be willing to spend so much effort to do this kind of thing? To train a guy with mediocre talent?"
"So guess what? Later Zhao raised the price to one million US dollars, and then Olajuwon agreed to help him train Adrian...oh! It's incredible! That's one million US dollars. ?Adrian won’t get that much money even if he plays the entire season..."
"I have to say that this guy is very loyal, and he takes good care of this little brother named Adrian! However, Adrian's performance made people realize that he is not a good choice. Looking at it now, it is possible This money is wasted..."
As soon as this news came out, countless fans were shocked.
Clubs across the league were also frightened by Zhao Feiyang's "generosity". This is especially true for fans in other cities. Many of them went to the Timberwolves' official website to leave messages, trying to verify the authenticity of this matter.
Of course, it is impossible for the Timberwolves to make any official response, but this does not mean that no one will come forward to break the news.
Just as this news was leaked, some people claiming to be Olajuwon also came forward to sell information.
"Let me prove that this is true! Zhao did give Olajuwon a million dollars! You can think about it, if he didn't give a lot of money, how could Olajuwon train an undrafted draft pick? ?”
"His former students were people like Kobe and LeBron...Olajuwon didn't have that much patience to spend time on a fringe player..."
The United States was extremely shocked, and after the news spread back to China, many melon-eating people also found it difficult to understand.
"Holy crap! In RMB, this is six to seven million! Is Zhao Feiyang willing to spend so much money just for a fringe player? Or did he take it out of his own pocket! It can be seen that this guy really wants to lead The team is aiming for the championship..."
"Master Huo is not serious. If he were more serious, Zhao Feiyang would not come up with this method to fill the vacancies in the team. I am really convinced! How did the Timberwolves management think of using such a method? Did you sign Master Huo with a high annual salary?"
"Come on! Aged centers like Master Huo are already hard to come by! Truly valuable centers in the league are not cheap, and other teams cannot release them! If they are released, wouldn't they be causing trouble for themselves? ?”
"If I didn't sign Master Huo with that money and split it in half, how could I find two cost-effective strikers in the league... What a pity! I didn't expect this to be the final result. It just wasn't possible. Can you sleep at night knowing that Adrian knows the news?"
