I'm a basketball star

Chapter 125 [New wolf king arrives: Everyone has a gift! 】

Minnesota was far more enthusiastic than the welcoming ceremony in Cleveland.

The plane landed steadily at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport.The moment Lu Deng and others stepped out of the plane, they felt the enthusiasm of the Wolves.

Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor and his wife, small boss, president, director of basketball operations and team head coach Philip Sanders, general manager Milton, and assistant coach Ryan Anderson were already waiting below.

Lu Deng was a little moved. Seeing his enthusiasm, Cao Cao greeted Xu You barefoot, right?I don't know, I thought the head of state of a certain country was here!
Mrs. Taylor personally delivered a bouquet of flowers and veneer gifts to Lu Deng.

The old man Sanders smiled and hugged Lu Deng.Then he took out a Timberwolves badge from the inside pocket of his suit, and handed it to Lu Deng: "I rushed back from another place to greet you temporarily, and I don't have time to prepare a gift. This badge is for you."

Lu Deng received the badge with the old man's body temperature. He was very excited and grateful. The half-black and half-white wolf head looked extremely ferocious.

From now on, I am a member of the Timberwolves!

In fact, regardless of the results of the Timberwolves, Lu Deng prefers the team's logo, badge, and jersey color scheme.

The Wolves have arranged a hotel for Lu Deng and others in Minboapolis.

Lu Deng and others temporarily settled down in the hotel, and Sanders asked Milton to arrange for Lu Deng to rent a house.

After obtaining Sanders' consent, Lu Deng called Sanders "Uncle Sang" according to the Chinese custom, and Sanders smiled happily.

Lu Deng asked Sanders: "Uncle Sang, I won't be traded by you for a while, right?"

Sanders was taken aback, and Lu Deng hurriedly said: "If you have no plan to trade me, I can concentrate on buying a house and settling down in Mingcheng!"

Sanders laughed: "Don't worry, if you don't leave, I will never trade you! I have watched the video of you playing, and you will become the absolute core of the team! Cleveland sent you, I think David's His head must have been eaten by a donkey!"

Lu Deng, Gu Qingcheng, Zhou Zhongjing Huanan and others all laughed, Zhou Zhongjing said: "This sentence is said in China, 'the head was kicked by a donkey'!"

Fat Wei couldn't understand what they were saying, so he kept pulling Hua Nan to translate.

According to the plan, the team will hold a welcome party for Lu Deng the next day, and all the team members will be there.Sanders asked Lu Deng to prepare and get ready to speak.

Lu Deng said: "Talk to your family, there is no need to prepare, don't worry, Uncle Sang."

Sanders patted Lu Deng on the shoulder. Although he just met him for the first time today, he really liked this kid.

The residence is not too far from the Target Arena where the team is located.

He and Fat Wei's car had already been consigned to Mingcheng at night.

Lu Deng drove into the car, took Gu Qingcheng with him, and Zhou Zhongjing drove Fat Wei, Wei Yi and Wei Er, loaded the presents for the team into the car, and quickly came to the target center under the guidance of the hotel guide car.

What flattered Luden was that a huge poster of Luden hung outside the Target Center arena.Below is a sentence in Chinese: Lu Deng, Mingzhou welcomes you!
"Look, this is sincerity!" Fat Wei said while taking a photo and sending it to the editor of Wushang Basketball.

Led by Glenn Taylor, the owner of the Wolves, Taylor, and Sanders were all waiting outside the arena. When they saw Lu Deng's car, they rushed to the door of the car.Lu Deng was flattered.

Basketball reporters from four media outlets including China Television, Xinhua News Agency, Sports, and Sina have also arrived at the Target Center ahead of schedule.They and Lu Deng are old acquaintances and have greeted each other.

Lu Deng waved his hands and called Wei Yi Wei Er: "Come on, take out the gift. Anyone who sees it will have a share. Boss, Uncle Sang, you must not have imagined what gift I brought for you. You guys in the media have all of them, wait."

Wei Yi and Wei Er dragged two large bags, opened them, and Lu Deng took out one after another of ** hats from them—yes, they were the kind of "locomotive" cotton hats worn in northern China.Pass it to everyone one by one, everyone has it!

"A hat with Chinese characteristics. I heard that Mingzhou is very cold in winter. Wear this hat to ensure frost resistance!"

A few Chinese reporters saw this, and they were so kind and nostalgic!

They tried it on one after another, and pulled off the ears of the hat, not to mention how cool it is.

Foreigners also wear it on their heads in the same way, and many of them wear it upside down.It was only under the guidance of Lu Deng and others that they came forward.

Although it is not the season to wear this kind of hat, but everyone praises this gift!
The welcome ceremony was held in the arena, which has been newly decorated. It was only after entering the arena that I realized that in addition to managers and players, there were also many local fans, a total of 500 people.

Fat Wei didn't expect so many people to come, and stuck out his tongue: "This is much more spectacular than the welcome ceremony in Cleveland! But we didn't bring enough gifts, we only brought players and coaches."

Lu Deng said: "How many T-shirts for Wushang Basketball?"

"That's a lot! They're all in the hotel."

Luden said: "Before the welcome ceremony, give the hats to the players, coaches and staff, and after the ceremony, give the fans T-shirts! Now people go to the hotel to collect!"

Fat Wei nodded.

The protagonists of the welcome ceremony are Lu Deng, Bennett and Thaddeus Young.

People from Bennett's team have arrived first.When Bennett saw Lu Deng, they hugged each other fiercely.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Luden stuffed some hats into Bennett's hands. "Come on, help me distribute it to other brothers."

Luden took Bennett and distributed the hats to all the players present, Rubio, Pekovic, Brewer, Zach LaVine, Mo Williams and so on.

Luden said to everyone: "This is a small gift from Cleveland from Anthony Bennett and I. It is not a respect, please take care of it."

Bennett was especially grateful that people thought of bringing gifts to everyone, and we were both of us when the gifts were distributed.

How generous!
However, compared with the enthusiasm of the managers and staff, the expressions of the players when they received the gifts were different.

Like Rubio, he looked very kind and very happy, holding his hat and looking over and over again.But like Mo Williams, Brewer and Thaddeus Young were a little absent-minded, just said "thank you" casually and passed it!

"The cohesion is too poor!" Lu Deng's first thought was this problem.

No wonder!
The Timberwolves haven't entered the playoffs for many years. They are hard-working soldiers, and I'm here after you leave. They can't even spell their names, and they all passed by and went their separate ways!
A team that always loses is like this. There is no team culture at all. Most people are just colleagues. Everyone is worried about where I will go next. How can this win?

Moreover, the Timberwolves' card is too bad, Rubio's shooting is too bad, Pekovic is fat out of the lifebuoy!Alas, it is really difficult to win!
