On October 11th, all members of the Thunder team came to Minneapolis to prepare for tomorrow's preseason game against the Timberwolves.

In the afternoon, Guigui and Li Ze went to visit Kevin Love, who has been playing here for a year. This unfortunate brother has never liked living here.

The restaurant where we met was not far from the stadium. It seemed that this place must be Love's favorite. The menu looked full of meat.

"Kayce, do you think small ball markets will develop in the future? In fact, the Thunder and Timberwolves are in a similar situation. It is difficult for them to make the playoffs."

Turtle has actually always liked Los Angeles, and Oklahoma City was not his first choice.

"It depends on whether the owner is willing to spend money. A large part of the reason why Garnett left the team is because the team does not have the ability to compete for the championship. The owners of small ball markets are not willing to continue spending money."

Li Ze answered Guigui's question while looking at the steaks on the menu.

"It seems like a big city is better. You can make money just by selling tickets. The results are slightly better and you can make more money. New York is such a team."

Turtle still has a heart for longing for a big city, which is the dream of most players. Why Curry wanted to go to New York in the first place was largely because of the high exposure and the amount of money he could make.

"But maybe those teams have more problems in the locker room. Kevin is here. Hey, this guy is fat again. It seems that he has indulged in the offseason."

Li Ze saw Kevin Love after entering the door. He looked like a big white fat man, who was fatter than he had been in the past few months.

"Kayce, Russell, I miss you so much. Have you ordered? The grilled steak in this restaurant tastes great!"

Kevin Love is also Li Ze's good brother. When he was a freshman, Love was Li Ze's roommate, and the two have a very good relationship.

"Love, you should lose weight. Only by maintaining your body shape can you perform better. If you continue to gain weight, you may not be able to find a girlfriend."

Li Ze was really afraid that this guy would lose control if he indulged himself. After all, getting fat would ruin everything!

"Okay, Kayce, we all got the contract. It's normal to eat some meat. You have to learn to enjoy life. Isn't it just to spend a lot of money and eat a lot of meat when you play hard?"

Love is promoting his chicken soup for the soul, and he is ready to destroy it.

"You have to work hard for the next contract. You should get more data in the new season, so that it will be easier for the agent to negotiate the contract."

Guigui also began to advise Le Fu for the sake of his brother's future.

"How to get the data? There is Al Jefferson on the team. He owns all the interior lines and all the low-post offense. The defenders don't pass the ball too much to me."

When it comes to statistics, Love also feels aggrieved. There is an old guy on the team who can't improve even if he wants to.

"Love, you can develop a three-point shot. If he plays in the low post, you'll be on the outside. You may be able to grab a long rebound!"

Li Ze ordered the dishes and said to Le Fu helplessly.

"But now not many big players shoot three-pointers, and this style of play can easily be called a softie."

Love also pays great attention to his reputation. After all, once the title of softie is put on, it is difficult to take it off.

"Can't you beat your chest after shooting and show a determined expression? Then roar twice appropriately. This is the performance of a tough guy!"

Li Ze began to talk about the true meaning of the iron-blooded jump shot, which made Love and Turtle on the side listen to each other in a daze.

"Listen to you, this feels really good. If I grab more backcourt rebounds, I can easily have a double-double without having to fight frequently!"

Love is already on the road. The more I think about it, the happier I am. Just keep beating Jefferson inside. My territory is after the three-point line.

Li Ze chuckled, your seniors have already pointed out a clear path for you. The traditional skill of the Timberwolves, such as the iron-blooded jump shot, cannot be lost.

At this time, Guigui was dumbfounded. Good guys, are you really okay with refreshing data so openly?

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Li Ze, who had eaten a lot of meat, collapsed directly on the big bed. The restaurant Love chose was really delicious, no wonder he had gained weight after eating it for a few months.

Pick up the phone and first communicate with Anne and Britney, two beautiful girls, and then check Twitter to update your daily life, which will help you get closer to your fans.

Delicious barbecue, I like the city of Minneapolis, thank you good brother for the hospitality@turtle@love#brothersbasketball#bestrookie#The children of the Dutton family thumb.jpg

As soon as the tweet was posted, someone commented. Li Ze saw that it was indeed Durant. He was still scrolling on Twitter in the middle of the night!

"I'll reserve the place! Let's have another meal tomorrow!"

Li Ze shook his head and prepared to go to sleep. After all, there was a game tomorrow and he had to keep in good physical condition.

The atmosphere at the Timberwolves' home court is still very good, and the fans are very enthusiastic. Although the results have not improved since Garnett left the team, the fans have no complaints.

Kevin Love was selected last year, and Tyreke Evans, Ricky Rubio, and Wayne Ellington were selected this year. Now, both inside and outside, the fans once again see hope.

When the two teams were warming up, Li Ze saw Love still making three-pointers over there and couldn't help but smile. It seemed like a double-double machine was about to be born!

The game is about to start, the DJ is screaming, the audience is shouting, and the atmosphere is gradually becoming more and more lively.

"Kayce, pay attention to the team's offensive rhythm. The Timberwolves' rebounding is very good. You must be patient when attacking."

Li Ze started the game, and coach Brooks began to give his final instructions.

The on-site commentator began to introduce the players from both sides, and also made fun of Li Ze.

"Today we can see the duel between rookies in this class. I support Evans to win the Rookie of the Year. His performance before was great. I will vote for him in the All-Stars!"

This joke is impossible to get over. Barkley comes up with it every day on TNT.

It doesn't matter to Li Ze whether he is a starter or a substitute. What he needs is the ball. He fist bumps with his teammates before the game and the game starts immediately.

"Al Jefferson jumped to the ball easily! Come on, guys!" the home commentator was in high spirits.

The Timberwolves' starting lineup consists of Evans partnered with Damien Wilkins on the back line, Corey Brewer and Love on the forward line, and Al Jefferson at center.

The Thunder's backcourt combination is Li Ze and Guigui, the forwards are Durant and Jeff Green, and center Krstic.

As expected, the Timberwolves' first attack went to Jefferson in the low post. With a bang, he deflected the defense and then made a small hook, making a steady hit.

Li Ze felt that Jefferson did have two skills in attacking in the low post, and his footwork was much better than that of some rough guys.

After passing the half court, Guigui handed the ball to Li Ze, glanced at the opponent's defense, made a tactical gesture, and at the same time motioned for Kostic to raise the screen.

After pulling out the opponent's center, Li Ze played the pick-and-roll very slowly. After noticing that Jeff Green's screen was successful, he directly threw a high ball to Durant who was running back.

Durant jumped high, ignored Brewer's jumping defense in front of him, and smashed the ball directly into the basket!

"哐"

Successful alley-oop dunk, and knocked poor Brewer away. This guy is too skinny.

"Wow!"

The audience at the scene let out a burst of exclamations, this ball is indeed wonderful.

When Li Ze saw Durant pointing at him to indicate a good shot, he couldn't help but smile and thought to himself:

"Sorry, Brother Love, I'm going to do a lot of heavy lifting in this game!"
