Chapter 1: The Silent Queen Bee
"Will the Timberwolves choose me?" Hassan Whiteside's eyes were filled with unconcealed surprise, which was really great news for him.
In his plan, if no team is willing to choose him after the NCAA season ends this year, he will go to the NBA's Development League NBDL to play, or even go overseas to play professionally.
Hassan has a tenacious personality, and the path he chose will not change easily, and he will continue to walk firmly. He firmly believes that as long as he keeps fighting, God will take care of him one day.
But today this sudden Asian man actually threw an olive branch to himself, and the Minnesota Timberwolves seem to be interested in him!
Li Shihao shook his head and said: "I can't make any guarantees about whether the Timberwolves' management will choose you, but from the perspective of the core of the team, as long as you can maintain this state, or play well in the next game More amazing performances and I would love to be your teammate next season."
"If you participate in this summer's draft, I will strongly recommend you to the team management. As for whether you can be selected, it depends on whether your performance can impress them."
What Hassan has shown is an excellent inside defender, and his ability to block shots is amazing. If he joins the Timberwolves next season, the Timberwolves' inside defense will rise to a higher level.
Although Hassan's physical fitness is not amazing, but he has the two most important characteristics, his unlimited vitality, excellent flexibility and athletic talent, allowing him to do more in the narrow space inside; he has excellent defensive awareness , Can provide more defensive support for the team.
At the same time, the addition of Hassan can give the Timberwolves more options for their inside combination.
Both Love and Gasol tend to be steady inside players. The characteristics of the floor flow make them lack some aura of flying and escaping. Their partners are stable and stable, but they lack explosive power. It is very obvious when the stalemate is highlighted.
The Timberwolves encountered a scoring shortage this season. There are too many young players, and the lack of game experience often results in a cold hand in back-to-back situations. Try to score inside and stabilize the situation.
Love and Pau Gasol's combination has stable scoring, but it lacks enough explosive power and the momentum of landslides and tsunami. Once it encounters a strong team with both internal and external skills like the Spurs and Celtics, it will often fall into the quagmire. I can't move an inch.
"If you want to participate in the draft this year, this is my number, welcome to call me in April, Minnesota welcomes you!"
After finishing speaking, Li Shihao raised his hand at Hassan, who was still in a daze, and dropped the note he had prepared in his hand, which had his contact number on it, then turned around, closed the door, and left with a smile.
When footsteps sounded farther and farther away from the door of the locker room, Hassan had a smile on his face. He didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, and finally cursed, "FK! My name is Hassan Whiteside." De!"
…………
Li Shihao stayed in Syracuse for a day, declined the old coach Jim's offer to stay overnight, and immediately left on a flight to Minnesota late that night without delay.
Looking at the dark starry sky outside the window of the plane, Li Shihao was speechless.
This trip was very rewarding. He got first-hand information about the players in this class from his mentor Jim. He collected the list of players who may participate in the draft this year in his backpack file.
Needless to say, John Wall, Wesley Johnson, DeMarcus Cousins, these draft favorites, Greg Monroe, Gordon Hayward, Paul George, Cole Aldrie Oddly, these players who have not been able to enter the top seven in the current draft market are their main goals in the summer, and players like Lance Stephenson and Hassan Whiteside who seem to have great flaws but have certain abilities are their second. To examine the object.
The draft is not a game of play, nor is it that the higher the pick in the hand, the more advantageous it is. If you make good use of the draft picks in your hand, it will be a problem for major teams every summer. Find the hidden gem.
Li Shihao closed his eyes and didn't think about these things. He has already got all the information of players who may participate in the draft this year. The specific operation still depends on the team management. This is not something he can decide as a player. thing.
What needs to be faced next is still the unfinished regular season!
They are about to face the New Orleans Hornets at home. Paul, the queen bee, is still on truce, sitting on the sidelines with a painful knee injury, watching his teammates fight bloody on the court.
At the Minnesota Target Center, the Timberwolves are all ready to face the airborne New Orleans Swarm. There is no accident in the game. The Timberwolves won the victory 103:94 at home without bloodshed, and repelled it in just three quarters. Queen Paul's New Orleans Hornets.
Li Shihao played three quarters and then rested. The Hornets without the queen bee Paul did not have much aggressiveness. He scored 21 points and 5 assists and then rested. The team led by 15 in the third quarter. Points, basically no suspense.
Throughout the game, Queen Bee Chris Paul stood silently on the sidelines, staring at the one-sided situation, watching his teammates being surrounded and killed by wolves step by step.The blood was dripping with bites, and no one understood what Chris Paul was thinking.
Paul didn't say a word to his teammates, resting his right hand on the injured left knee, and the silence was terrifying.
He has been sidelined for nearly a month. Depending on the situation, he will continue to be sidelined due to injury. He is on the roster for this year's All-Star Game. The backup guard still has his name, but now because of a knee injury, he still regrettably announces through the team official to fans all over the United States that he will not be able to play in the All-Star Game. Williams was selected as a substitute.
The aging Nash, the son of the wind, did not participate. He made a clear statement to the media that his knee injury is still not ideal, and he is struggling to dedicate one game after another to the fans this season.
If it weren't for the desire for the championship and the love for the fans, the "old man" who has been staggering has already retired to the second line, and even chose to retire, leaving this star-studded stage.
He has participated in the All-Star Game many times, and it is time to give way to young people. This year, he is more willing to recover from his injuries and spend more time with his family during the All-Star Weekend.
Therefore, this year's All-Star Game, he will not play.
Some old fans were naturally touched when they heard the news. A new generation replaced the old ones. This stage is always renewing. Some people shine and some people end.
Now, it's the turn of the new generation of players to emerge!
