Chapter 115 Timberwolves

It's hardly big news when a superstar destined for the Hall of Fame sees a rookie as a future Hall of Famer.

But when Philadelphia once again beat the western powerhouses with a tough stance as the beginning of March, all fans have reason to believe that the era of Philadelphia's revival has arrived.

From the basketball emperor Chamberlain, to Dr. J Julius Erving, to Moses Malone, Charles Barkley, Allen Iverson, these famous leaders in the history of the 76ers. The 76ers have experienced brilliance and also encountered low tides. The last time they won the championship was the 30-82 season 83 years ago. In that year, Moses Malone won the title of MVP of the regular season and MVP of the finals.

Last year, the 76ers had 27 wins and 55 losses and only won the No.13 ranking in the East.

But up to now, with 27 regular season games left, the 76ers have won 30 games, with a winning percentage of over 50.00%, firmly ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference.

All this, it is believed, was brought about by that young No. 1.

Although he can vaguely see the immaturity of youth, he will always look like an old player who has played for many years on the court.As of the end of the game against the Mavericks, he averaged 22 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and his true shooting percentage was as high as 4%, even surpassing Durant, the current scoring leader in the league.

The fans began to think about the opponents of the 76ers in the playoffs. Now the No.3 Magic or the No.4 Celtics?This is simply unimaginable beauty in previous years!
Tang Wenlong became popular again. In the land of Philadelphia, he is being loved by more and more fans.

. .

After the Mavericks game, there are two days to spare.

Seeing that he had free time, Tang Wenlong packed up his clothes decisively, and then drove an SUV provided by the endorsement BMW to Manhattan, New York.

He and Fang Chuxia had only been separated for more than a day, but Tang Wenlong couldn't help but go to find her.

When young couples are in a period of passionate love, it is inevitable that they feel a little gluey, and thinking of seeing their beloved again, Tang Wenlong hums proudly while driving.

"Well, yes baby, I'm on my way."

"Yes, the Mavericks won by accident, you watched the game!"

"Okay, I will drive carefully. You go to class first, and I will be here at noon. Um, love you..."

Driving in the early morning sunshine, Tang Wenlong didn't look like he had just fought fiercely with someone, he seemed to be full of energy.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something again, and called Joe Thomas.

"Hey man, you're exploiting working people! I'm fucked..."

Thomas was in a bad mood. Although Tang Wenlong was his immediate boss, you know, he fought that beautiful and hot Mexican beauty for a hundred rounds last night. How could he still have the strength now?

"Hey Joe, I know it's been hard for you, but I'm on my way to New York now."

Joe Thomas yelled, and asked feebly, "What are you doing in New York? Are you looking for your little girlfriend happy again? Boy, be restrained!"

Tang Wenlong's face darkened, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak, although what he said was correct.

"No, I want to talk about the investment in catering that you told me last time. Didn't you say that you want to open a high-end Chinese restaurant in Philadelphia? It's like the Yao restaurant in Houston."

"Oh, that's good... wait, what are you talking about!" Joe Thomas jumped out of the bed suddenly, with a surprised tone, "Are you talking about the thing I proposed to you last time, my god boss , you are so wise!"

Tang Wenlong laughed, and then went on to talk about his own thoughts.

"It's not just a restaurant, you know, I'm a basketball player, and I've been thinking of a special place. Maybe you can combine basketball and restaurants, maybe you can put my photo on it..."

"Of course, of course!"

Joe Thomas was full of inspiration, "In fact, the restaurant is just one aspect, even a basketball-themed sportswear store, and even a basketball bar that specializes in playing NBA games for you. Oh my god, you can really build a basketball kingdom!"

Tang Wenlong was ashamed, and was frightened by Thomas' jumping thinking, but immediately, he reacted and thought carefully about the possibility that Joe Thomas said.

"But the most urgent thing is to build a restaurant that belongs to you. I think with your popularity and everyone's love for Chinese food, the business will be very hot." Joe Thomas changed his words and gave his own suggestion.

"I still need several authentic chefs, you know, Chinese food is complicated."

Joe Thomas nodded. At this moment, he was sleepless and refreshed. "Of course I understand this. In fact, I'm already looking for a suitable candidate."

"There is still a place to choose, and it can't be too remote." Tang Wenlong said.

"OK, you can rest assured, by the way, why don't you bring me some maple syrup when you go to New York? It's delicious and healthy."

Tang Wenlong's hair was black, and he said angrily, "No time, goodbye!"

. .

The 76ers' second game in March was a door-to-door challenge from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Since Garnett left, the Timberwolves have been a frequent visitor to the lottery team, but there is a 20+20 league regular in the team!
Kevin Love.

Love is now the core figure of the Timberwolves and the league's rebounding leader. He previously tied Garnett's 33-game double-double record for the Timberwolves, and so far, he has maintained a double-double.He's also a contender for the league's Most Improved Player this season.

But the record of the Timberwolves is very bad. Calculated in the entire league, it is slightly better than the Cavaliers.

Therefore, the betting company's odds for the home team to win are very low, and the handicap is as high as 8 points. That is to say, the betting company is basically optimistic about the home team winning the Timberwolves by double digits.

Tang Wenlong returned to Philadelphia on the morning of the [-]th, practiced with the players for a day, and then waited for the game to start.

In this game, the 76ers were very relaxed. The Timberwolves' outside defense was almost zero, and their inside Montenegrin Nikola Pekovic deserves a little attention.

During the pre-match ceremony between the two teams, Tang Wenlong also greeted the former Syracuse University seniors.

Jonny Flynn!

One of the most outstanding students of Syracuse University back then, the man who led Syracuse University to the East Division championship was also known as the super point guard once in ten years.

At this moment, I met my alumni, but I couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.

Before Tang Wenlong entered the league, he was not as famous as Jonny Flynn, but now, he is already recognized as the most talented player in the league, and is called a future Hall of Fame player by Nowitzki!

"I really didn't expect that you would be so powerful." Jonny Flynn sighed, filled with emotion.

"The senior is humble, and the senior is also capable, but he doesn't get the opportunity to show it." Tang Wenlong said flatteringly, he knew that Jonny Flynn was just a substitute in the Timberwolves, although he was the No. [-] pick the year before last.

"Hey, I still don't know myself!" Jonny Flynn was helpless, showing a bitter smile.He wants to say he won't be worth it in the Timberwolves, let alone in other places.

The two chatted on the sidelines for a long time before Tang Wenlong returned to his half-time warm-up.

When he turned around, two glares shot from the Timberwolves players. .

Not long after both sides warmed up, under the introduction of the DJ, they appeared on stage one by one, and after the referee came on the field, the starting players of the two teams were officially announced.

The Timberwolves' starters are point guard Luke Ridnour, shooting guard Evan Turner, small forward Michael Beasley, power forward Kevin Love, and center Nikola Pekovic.

The 76ers are still the same lineup.Point guard Kyle Lowry, shooting guard Tang Wenlong, small forward Iguodala, power forward Thaddeus Young, center Samuel Dalembert.

Turner and Tang Wenlong stood together, ready to kick off.

"I must beat you today, I promise." Turner said suddenly, whispering.

Tang Wenlong forgot to take a look at Turner in surprise. The latter raised his head and stared at him with two eyes. From his two eyes, Tang Wenlong saw a kind of resentment, a kind of jealousy, and a kind of anger. Saw a blazing flame.

Turner hated everything here, hated Tang Wenlong.

The second place should have belonged to him, he was the best college student that year! The honor of the 76ers should also belong to him, he is the most talented!Everything here should belong to him. He secretly felt that Tang Wenlong took away everything that belonged to him. Tang Wenlong is a shameful robber!

"But it's not your mouth that decides the game."

Tang Wenlong felt the opponent's strong hostility, and counterattacked unceremoniously. .
