Chapter 133 The Timberwolves About to Disintegrate

The game against the Warriors came to an end as Arenas' hand feeling declined and he was exhausted.

There's no way the Warriors' head coach can watch what goes wrong in one preseason game with the team's best potential.Therefore, in the fourth quarter, both Arenas and Richardson were put on the bench.

Of course Arenas didn't want to just admit defeat, but Arenas, who hadn't experienced the transfer turmoil, was far inferior to the status in the team in the future.So I didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that the Warriors had replaced the main lineup, Cartwright also replaced the substitute.

Duhon, Mobley, Marshall, Jefferson and Cato.This lineup can be considered very arrogant on the bench.

In the fourth quarter, the Bulls' bench five beat the Warriors 40:23.In the end, they defeated the Warriors 116:92 and made a good start to the preseason.

In the new season, the Bulls have arranged a total of seven preseason games.After beating the Warriors, the Bulls flew overnight to Seattle, where the Sonics were waiting for them.

The Supersonics in the 04-05 season were still the era of the two guns. Although Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis failed to lead the team to covet the highest honor, the popularity of the Supersonics in Seattle is still quite high.

If Ray Allen hadn't insisted on leaving, it is estimated that Starbucks founder Schultz would not have thought of selling the team because the team could not make money.

Then the thunder in the future will not know where it is.

By the way, in the last game against the Warriors, Wang Shipeng finally scored 36 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists by relying on his strong performance in the third quarter. He achieved quite outstanding results and made a good start for the new season.

If Ray Allen, Iverson, Carter and others still regarded Wang Shipeng as a rookie last season, then after a summer, especially after the Athens Olympics, they have completely put Wang Shipeng in the same position as them.

Wang Shipeng and LeBron James, the two best rookies of last season, have successfully squeezed into the superstar club and become a member of the superstar.

This can be seen from Ray Allen's attitude towards Wang Shipeng.

As a veteran shooting guard, Ray Allen does not have the same desire to socialize as the later 03 generation, and the people who can usually associate with him are star players who have achieved his status.

Wang Shipeng joined this list. He just entered Seattle, and as soon as he got out of the airport, Ray Allen was already waiting there.

After a season, Wang Shipeng has already understood some unspoken rules of the league.Knowing that picking up the plane is one of the ways for a star to recognize an opponent. After becoming the leader of the Bulls, Wang Shipeng has also done this kind of thing.

Superstars rely on similar methods to exclude ordinary players and establish a social circle that belongs exclusively to superstars.

Speaking of which, Kobe was the first to give Wang Shipeng this status.Generally speaking, things like picking up the plane are done by the boss of the team. If a team has two players of equal status, they should work together.But because the Lakers duo competed for hegemony last season, the two were separated when doing this kind of thing.

Last season, Wang Shipeng did not enjoy this kind of treatment several times.But Wang Shipeng believes that this season must be different.

雷阿伦虽然算是认可了王仕鹏，出面招待了他。但是走上球场仍然毫不留情，全场比赛。雷阿伦三分球8投7中，拿到38分8篮板5助攻。而拉沙德刘易斯三分球7投4中，拿到了34分8篮板3助攻。

不过王仕鹏带领公牛打出了毫不逊色的表现。王仕鹏拿到了27分7篮板7助攻，米利西奇22分11篮板4助攻，莫布里替补出战32分钟，拿到19分。

In the end, although the Bulls lost to the Sonics led by the two guns.But in fact, the loss was wronged. Pargo's three-pointer at the buzzer was counted as two points.A chance for the Bulls to tie the game was wasted.

After the game, I checked the video of the game and confirmed that Pago was indeed a three-pointer rather than a two-pointer stepping on the line.Although they also filed a complaint with the league, the Bulls all understand that in the end they can only let it go.

David Stern has been working hard to enhance the authority of referees.Not to mention just a preseason game, even a regular season game is probably useless.

95:96, the Bulls lost to the Sonics by one point.

Facing the Phoenix Suns in the third game, Nash, who returned to Phoenix, played against the sky and scored 34 points, just like a "primary school student".But the other players of the Suns couldn't bear to look directly at it. Nash, who had been working hard to pass the ball, only recorded 6 assists.

Sure enough, assists are Nash's most threatening weapon. Even if he scores 30+, if he can't get assists, he will lose the game.The Bulls beat the Suns 97:92.

The fourth game finally returned to Chicago, and returned to the home court to face the San Antonio Spurs. The Bulls and Wang Shipeng, who had planned to have a bloody battle, suddenly discovered that the two consecutive victories seemed to be within reach.

Even Wang Shipeng was lamenting that Bobo learned to take turns to rest at this time.The troika of the Spurs actually only got on Tony Parker, while Ginobili and Duncan both watched from the sidelines.

The reason given by the Spurs was that Duncan had an uncomfortable back, and Ginobili simply had a fever.

Watching Ginobili and Duncan frisky on the sidelines.Wang Shipeng understood better what it means that Bobo is a routine.

The fifth and sixth games were home and away against the Dallas Mavericks. Facing the old driver with long hair when he was young, Chandler came in handy.His tough inside rim protection and close defense are both badly needed by the Bulls.

Fortunately, Dirk was restrained, and the Mavericks without Nash basically lost their combat effectiveness.Basically nothing to worry about.

Because it was close to the regular season, Wang Shipeng only played 10 minutes in the last preseason game against the Raptors.

In the seven preseason games, Wang Shipeng averaged 33.6 minutes per game, scoring 28.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game.The entire league has admitted that Wang Shipeng is already a completely different superstar from last season.

The reason for accumulating strength in the last preseason game was that Cartwright deliberately shortened the playing time of Wang Shipeng and others.

The team that made Cartwright feel like an enemy was the defending champion, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves last season can be regarded as quite a magical season.But after winning the championship, the four-headed monster of the Timberwolves quickly reached the brink of disintegration.The Timberwolves turned into Huskies in seconds.

Both Sam Cassell and Sprewell are in contract years.And with their performance last year and the addition of the championship, the Huskies are absolutely incapable of continuing to maintain the four-headed monster lineup.

The Clippers, the Knicks, and the Cavaliers are eyeing the Minnesotas one after another.If it weren't for Garnett's threat to leave the team, it is estimated that the Huskies would trade everyone away.

Although there was no trade, both Cassell and Sprewell slacked off after winning the championship.The Huskies as a whole are not as strong as they were last year.

In other words, people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.
