After the announcement came out, the happiest people were the fans of the Memphis Grizzlies. Originally, many people were worried that the Timberwolves threatened the Grizzlies and might reverse the situation and recover a big score. But now, it is not easy to recover a big score, and it is even becoming more and more unlikely. of.
"There is no need to play this game tonight! We can definitely win."
"All three of their main players are suspended, so the team's rotation list may not be enough... So if this can beat us, then I really can't imagine how it happened... ..”
At the same time, this incident also seriously affected the morale within the Timberwolves.
Many players had just woken up from their sleep, and as soon as they had breakfast, they heard that Howard and others were in trouble. By the time they had lunch and prepared for pre-game training, news about Howard and the others was already flying all over the Internet.
It was almost evening, and Coach Eric and others finally bailed Howard and his party out.
Fortunately, nothing worse happened, so the penalties against a few people will be limited. As a driver, Howard will most likely be fined, have his driver's license revoked, and perform hundreds of hours of community service.
"Hey guys."
When they returned to the hotel room, the four Howards appeared in front of the players. At this time, everyone is gathering in the suite for a meeting. Once the meeting is over, they will take the bus to the FedEx Forum Arena, the home of the Grizzlies.
Howard's greeting would have definitely aroused responses from many people in the past, but this time, he received unanimous surprised looks from his teammates.
Even Zhao Feiyang sat on the chair without saying a word.
Regarding these teammates who caused trouble, Zhao Feiyang rarely lost his good temper, his face was full of indifference, and he didn't even look at LaVine and the others.
Howard, Raven and others also noticed Zhao Feiyang's demeanor. They were like children who had done something wrong. After entering, they immediately sat on the edge of the living room consciously.
"Okay! Everyone is here!"
Coach Eric walked among the crowd and said with a serious face. He was busy for most of the day on this matter, leaving him no time to lead the players in training.
"Unfortunately something happened, but for us, no matter what the result is, we must play well in today's game..."
"Now we have three main players absent from the game. Wait a minute. Brandon will go to the fourth position to play the main force. Chris, you can go to the first or second position and wait for the substitute at any time... We don't have enough manpower, so today In this game, whether you are the main player or the substitute, you must persist more..."
"Guys, listen, don't let things off the field affect your state. For us, no matter what accidents happen, we must do our best to kill our opponents..."
Coach Eric spoke to the players seriously for a while.
After his comfort, the atmosphere in the stadium became somewhat more relaxed, at least it was no longer as depressing as before. However, after all, three main players were missing at once, and no matter how hard the players controlled their mentality, they could not ignore this fact, so the team was still enveloped in a layer of pessimism.
After the lineup was arranged, Coach Eric also took the lead in calling the players to leave together. There are still two hours before the game starts, and they need to enter the stadium in advance to warm up in the next time.
"Let's go, guys!"
"Show your mental state... You are a group of young people, not old men..."
All the players walked outside one after another.
Zhao Feiyang did not get up in a hurry, but waited for his teammates to take the first step. After most of the players had left, Zhao Feiyang stood up and prepared to go out.
Before he could leave, Adrian and Raven, who were sitting in the corner, stopped him.
"Sorry! Zhao, we didn't mean it!"
"Brother, I apologize to you for the stupid things I did! If we hadn't indulged ourselves, things would definitely not be like this..."
Adrian and Raven both stood up and apologized.
As a veteran of the team, Gorgi is very stable. Such incidents in away games rarely happened before. Now that it has appeared and made big news as soon as it came out, Gorgi's face is obviously a little dull.
But he is different from LaVine and Adrian. He is a little older than Zhao Feiyang and has a slightly more reserved personality, so he cannot speak up on this matter and does not know how to defend himself. He just keeps silently. The head means that he is wrong.
The only one who was tough-talking was Howard.
Howard has always been a "playboy". His life off the court is so exciting, otherwise there wouldn't be so many illegitimate children. This time he and his teammates caused such a big incident. Although he was not entirely responsible, there was no doubt that he was the culprit.
When he saw Zhao Feiyang's indifferent face, Howard was also a little afraid. He would not admit his mistakes like a child who had done something wrong, but he obviously did not dare to look at Zhao Feiyang, also because of his status as a "super star" and his face. It was difficult for me to apologize for the moment.
He didn't say anything, but Zhao Feiyang walked up to him.
"Dwight, I'm so disappointed in you! I thought you would be a veteran who helps young players grow, but now it seems that you are not reliable at all... I knew you would be To do such a thing, I shouldn't have brought you to the away game to get involved in the first place..."
Zhao Feiyang's reprimanding words made Howard's face a little tense.
He bit the bullet and pouted at Zhao Feiyang, "What did we do wrong? We just wanted to drink some wine to relieve the stress before the game! Is there anything wrong with this? If those police officers hadn't touched us, we would have definitely Nothing will happen..."
"We'll come back and have a good sleep then, and then play a game against the Grizzlies in the evening. Is there any problem?"
"I even think that we would be in better shape that way, instead of being unstable like the first two games..."
Now that the conversation was over, Zhao Feiyang didn't bother to argue with Howard anymore.
He shook his head with a disappointed look on his face, then turned and walked directly out the door. After he left, Howard was still muttering quietly, seemingly defending himself.
"That's enough! Dwight! Stop it!"
"This is our problem!"
Raven said angrily.
Howard then wisely shut his mouth.
Zhao Feiyang, who was leaving, also looked melancholy on the bus heading to the away game. Originally, the team could use this lineup to counterattack, but now that several main players are gone, what can a incomplete lineup do?
