In the square outside the Great Western Forum Arena, a man who claimed to be 1 cm stared at the poster above the main entrance of the Great Western Forum Arena in a daze.

"See you in the NBA!"

The scenes of meeting in the NBA that year are vivid in my mind, and I did enter the NBA together.

But the subsequent developments are very different.

His own development was even better than the best he had expected at first. He became an All-Star in the second grade, and before he even started in the third grade, he signed the largest contract in NBA history in advance.

I think he should be the one who did the best in Adidas training camp that time?

It should be like this. Kobe, Jamison, Bibby, and Odom entered college one after another. Although the prospects are good, it is still only the prospect. Raheem fought alone in the cold Vancouver, Marbury was his younger brother, and Jermaine O'Neal was still sinking in Portland...

But one of them, like him, skipped college and entered the NBA, was selected in the lottery area, but from the beginning, he was stronger than him!

He can't beat Malone, Kamp, and Wen Baker. He can say that he is still young and cannot beat O'Neal and Mooning. He just refuses to play center. Moreover, he is already at the All-Star level. Even if he adds 10 players from the All-Star, he should be one of the 24 best players in the league.

But compared to that person...

Here comes...

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Garnett, who was in a daze in the square outside the Great Western Forum Arena, saw the Lakers bus entering the parking lot.

The Timberwolves are playing in Los Angeles for two consecutive away games. They just played against the Clippers yesterday and won. They are currently 8 wins and 4 losses, surpassing the Trail Blazers and coming to fourth place in the West, but they are very unstable. The Suns and Spurs behind may rush up, while the Supersonics and Jazz in front are so stable.

There is also the Lakers who are in the forefront, with 10 consecutive wins at the start... Garnett doesn't know how to describe his current mood.

It seems that 10 consecutive victories are not that difficult, but starting a 10 consecutive victories is much more difficult than it seems! I don’t know how many superstars have never started a 10 consecutive victories in their careers!

As strong as Jordan, he only had 3 wins in a row at the start of 10!

Sometimes, for several seasons, there was no 10 consecutive victories at the start.

Others come secretly when they start the season to win streak. That guy is so good. He took the initiative to tell in the interview that he wants to win streak.

It’s not surprising to think that it was said by that guy.

As an opponent, and the opponent that the Lakers are about to fight, Garnett is in a similar mood to the Utah double evil spirits...

But looking at the empty side, Garnett felt that it would be better to focus on his own team.

6 years, he had a chance to get 128 million US dollars. The team was willing to give it to him, and the agent could get it. He definitely wanted it. He wanted it. This was his real opportunity to go from a poor boy who could hardly afford his sister's tuition to a billionaire. When the Timberwolves gave such a offer, he immediately signed it.

Then, he was ridiculed by the whole people.

The same big contract was signed, and the guy signed a three-year contract worth $53 million, and he received unanimous praise...

This is not important, he also feels that the other party deserves the contract.

However, after he signed the largest contract in history, there was a problem with the team.

According to what he learned, Marbury put the contract renewal matters indefinitely after discussing an early renewal with the Timberwolves.

Although he and Marbury have not had any conflicts now, he has already felt the change in the relationship.

Last season, Marbury was almost inseparable from him. This season, Marbury rarely came out with him in private.

If you want to be grateful for anything, it is his cooperation with Marbury on the court, and his tacit understanding as always...

Suddenly, Garnett's eyes were dark...

"Guess who I am?"

Garnett was startled! He wanted to...retreat several steps on the spot.

I suddenly realized that this was not on the court, so I stopped fighting and retreating, and turned to look at Zhang Hao speechlessly... Well, it was my power forward Garnett who would be one step higher.

Finally there was a little bit stronger than Zhang Hao, and Garnett was a little proud.

Shocking the other party, Zhang Hao was in a happy mood and asked, "Kevin, go for lunch together?"

"Okay." Garnett did not refuse.

Zhang Hao was the one who was extremely calm on the court, and Garnett yelled angrily when he disagrees.

But in private, when there are acquaintances, Garnett is the more cold-hearted, while Zhang Hao looks normal.

"Where is Stephen?"

“He was taking a break in the hotel.”

"oh……"

Garnett didn't say anything, and Zhang Hao didn't continue to ask.

Garnett knew that Zhang Hao's kind of thoughtful person must have guessed what was going on...

...

...

Back in Los Angeles for a day off, on November 20, the game day between the Lakers and the Timberwolves has arrived.

Currently, the Lakers have 10 wins and 0 losses, the Timberwolves have 8 wins and 4 losses, and the Lakers have to play two fewer games, and they are currently teams in the first half of the playoffs.

Garnett and Zhang Hao, the two most paid players among the new generation players, faced each other after the contract of the rookie, and were also rookies of the same class, with a lot of attention.

After the Lakers defeated the Jazz, they have won 10 consecutive victories and are already very popular. Zhang Hao also issued a declaration of rushing to the winning streak of the start. Now, before the Lakers are over, every game is very concerned.

The Timberwolves are seen as a team that has the potential to end the Lakers' winning streak.

In terms of running-in in the new season, the Timberwolves' running-in condition is very good. Three-headed Wolves, Terry Burt, Sam Mitchell, Cherokee Parks, Doug West, Chris Kyle and others stayed at the team, maintaining the overall structure of the Timberwolves last season. With the improvement of Marbury and Garnett, the Timberwolves' strength this season has greatly improved.

The Timberwolves are ambitious. In order to deal with O'Neal, they tried to spend 1 year and $4.1 million to introduce the famous tonnage big center Stanley Roberts.

Stanley Roberts was 3 cm tall and weighed 129 kilograms. He was reimbursed after the Clippers started last season after 18 games. After O'Neal got wild in the three teams after the All-Star Weekend, many media mentioned this super-meat shield with average center movement speed. Just looking at physical conditions, Stanley Roberts has a better talent than Ostertag. When he was healthy, he also averaged 11.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 77 games in a single season, and his playing time was 23 minutes per game.

The Shark effect is shown in Stanley Roberts. In the past three years, Stanley Roberts has only made 80 appearances, but in the summer, he still received offers from multiple teams of more than $2 million.

The Supersonics scored $2.2 million a year, the Bulls scored $2.7 million a year, and the Trail Blazers, Suns, and Knicks all issued $3.3 million a year.

This is an exaggeration. Since Stanley Roberts' best performance in the 1992-93 season, his attendance rate has not exceeded 50% in the past three seasons. He has played 22 games, 40 games and 18 games respectively. The data is still OK. He averaged 8.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game in three seasons. However, there are still so many strong teams rushing to get the injury level.

In the end, the Timberwolves snatched it for US$4.1 million in one year.

It can be seen that the Timberwolves are willing to spend money to create a chance to compete for the current three-headed Wolves core combination, and Stanley Johnson is really healthy this year, averaging 17 minutes per game, scoring 6.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks. When Gugliotta was resting, Stanley Johnson became Garnett's solid backing.

Judging from all aspects, the Timberwolves may become the one who ends the Lakers' winning streak.

The Lakers are very popular, but after Zhang Hao shouted that he would win more than 15 consecutive games, he became the current public enemy of the league. The direction of the media analysis is definitely which team may end their winning streak.

If the Timberwolves fail to prevent the Lakers from winning streak, there will be Heat, Celtics, and 76ers behind them. In these three games, the Lakers will play away games! Three consecutive away games!

...

After a day of preparation, at 6:40 pm, the players of the two teams entered the stadium of the Great Western Forum Arena.

There are still benefits to doing things. After turning on the winning streak mode, when the Lakers played at home, the fans returned to their usual "noble and cool" and now they have a clear goal, and they will be quite excited after completing the goal. The fans on the scene became enthusiastic again.

After entering the stadium, Zhang Hao's system prompted him.

"Kevin Garnett has become the best player of the Timberwolves, signed the largest contract in history, has teammates who are suitable for him and have outstanding strength, and has become the most threatening new generation star in people's eyes to the special signing player Zhang Hao. The third phase of the Star of the Series Mission Age: The Roaring Wolf King Trigger."

"Roaring Wolf King:

Goal 1: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers win this game.

Goal 2: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao's game data must meet the basic conditions of 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, and the total value of the three data must be higher than Kevin Garnett.

Mission reward: 1. The specified data of Target 2 is always the number of Zhang Hao higher than Kevin Garnett, the reward is equivalent lifespan, 2. The bronze lottery opportunity is 1 time."

This series of tasks is finally related to their 95th-class players! The previous two tasks were triggered on Grant Hill and Anthony Hardaway.

If the contemporaries were two years before and after the 1995th class, then the current 1997th class genius will be the target of triggering this task now or in the future... there may be one now.

Looking at the task description, just like Zhang Hao thought, Marbury might run away in the future due to salary issues. If the Yin-Yang contract is still born, Garnett's big contract will be criticized even more violently.

But for now, Garnett's career looks bright. The Timberwolves are willing to spend money and have ambitions. They want to become the second Lakers, and now they seem to have the conditions.

A new task has come, and the task of "Dream Start". There are overlapping parts, and winning the game is today's number one goal.

After reading the task prompts, another system prompt came...

"The four major forwards in the 1995th National Team Random Star Experience Card and Random Feature Transformation Medal + First-class Training Card have triggered special usage conditions. Is it enabled?"

This prompt was triggered when the previous attack on Joe was answered.

It should be three rewards, but last year's playoffs, Zhang Hao found that the rewards from these three tasks were integrated. When using this star experience card, he will randomly get the random feature conversion medal of the star who was randomly received + a matching first-class training card.

It just so happened that there was no extra time in the summer, so he was waiting for the new season to see if he could trigger special usage conditions. He had good luck and triggered it!

But this is different from the Shark + Admiral card. If you choose to use a special usage method when playing against Joe Smith and specify Joe Johnson, this card is just the Joe Smith peak card.

It will save a lot of life. Joe Smith, the Peak is only 84 abilities to evaluate the strength, and it only takes 15 days to use it for the first time.

But Zhang Hao must have chosen to wait for Garnett...

I looked at the ability evaluation of the opponent's players.

"Kevin Garnett, age, 1 cm (?), 107 kg, ability evaluation 89, offense 86, defense 92, pass 87, three-pointers - 90 mid-range shots, layup 91, speed 87, strength 86, bounce 97... Average 19 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists 1.9 steals 1.8 blocks..."

"Stephen Marbury, 20 years old, 188 cm, 88 kg, ability evaluation 85, offense 90, defense 77, three-pointers 84, mid-range shot 81, layup 94... Average 16.4 points and 8.5 assists..."

"Tom Gugliotta, 28 years old, 208 cm, 110 kg, ability evaluation 88, offense 91, defense 81, 74 three-pointers, 92 mid-range shots, 93 layups... Average points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists..."
To be continued...
