Five hundred and thirty seven unexpected enemies
Updated: 2013-05-25
The Timberwolves won nine consecutive victories, and the momentum was greatly boosted. The entire team made rapid progress and their morale became stronger and stronger.
Then with this Dongfeng, the Timberwolves won three consecutive games and reached 12 consecutive victories. This winning streak is currently the longest winning streak in the league.
The Timberwolves has now reached this winning streak, which has naturally attracted the attention of the media. Now everyone is happy to hear the Timberwolves.
Because the Timberwolves can not only win, but also play beautifully, not only beautifully, a group of players are also very young.
This kind of vibrant team and beautiful team will not like it without fans.
But there are always exceptions in everything. The team that dislikes the Timberwolves the most in the West must be the Lakers, who are the Timberwolves' mortal enemies. Last season, the two teams competed the most fiercely in the Western Conference Finals, and the Timberwolves' defeat was the most tragic.
Therefore, the Lakers definitely don’t like the Timberwolves’ strength. In addition, the Celtics in the East are not the ones who don’t like the Timberwolves.
The Celtics and Wang Kai have a grudge, but they don’t want to see Wang Kai’s comfort. The Lakers and the Celtics don’t like the Timberwolves because they have grudges.
But there is another reason why another team in the league doesn't like the Timberwolves. This team that doesn't like the Timberwolves is the hottest Miami Heat in the league.
The Heat have been criticized by Mr. Su in the basketball world since its founding, believing that they are not good for the league in such a group. The media also want to watch the Heat jokes. At this moment, if the Heat plays well, no one dares to say anything, but the Heat has not played very well recently.
Now the Heat have encountered weak teams, so they can naturally easily defeat them by relying on two stars, but when they encounter strong teams, they basically rarely win.
The team's style of playing is to fight with two stars. The entire team cannot be combined. The team has no integrity and the task is unclear at critical moments, so naturally they cannot win the ball.
The Heat were in a dilemma, but at this time the Timberwolves played very well. The media and critics inevitably compared the Heat and the Timberwolves horizontally.
The Heat are a superstar group, and LeBron also made a live broadcast decision. Now that they are not playing well, the media naturally has something to say, but the Timberwolves rely on their vision and reasonable formation. Such a team can only admire the vision of the team's general manager.
A team that has worked hard to get together but has poor performance, while a team that has been formed reasonably has performed well.
This is the Heat's ridicule, a kind of irony to the Heat. And the better the Timberwolves play now, the more willing the media will be to mock the Heat like this.
In this way, the Heat naturally dislikes the Timberwolves and hates the Timberwolves, thinking that the Timberwolves is simply too annoying.
However, just when the Timberwolves were the hottest and their winning streak reached the longest, the Timberwolves were about to encounter the Heat. When the two teams met at this time, it would naturally cause a thousand waves.
The Timberwolves themselves have no feelings for the Heat. Instead, they would not have become enemies if they were not the media. After all, one of the two teams is in the east and the other is in the west, and the real grudge can only be in the finals.
But just because of the media, the Timberwolves got into such a strong enemy, and the Timberwolves suffered an unpredictable disaster.
The Timberwolves don't care about the Heat, but the Heat are different. The Heat have encountered too much criticism.
They urgently need a victory, a real victory over a strong team.
The Timberwolves are the best target for the Heat to establish their power. First of all, the Timberwolves are a strong team, and secondly, the Timberwolves are now winning 12 consecutive games. The most important thing is that the media always compares the Timberwolves with the Heat.
If the Heat beat the Timberwolves at this time, the Heat would not have been very handsome, nor could they refute all the media, they were all wrong.
So once the Heat encounters the Timberwolves, they must win.
In this way, the Heat made careful preparations before the game, and the Heat treated the Timberwolves as strategic opponents.
The Heat's only goal is to defeat the Timberwolves, wash away the team's shame and gain morale.
Compared with the Heat, the Timberwolves are not prepared enough, because the Timberwolves only regard this game as an ordinary regular season game. Even if the Heat is a strong team, the Timberwolves' attention level is still at the regular season level.
However, the Heat have risen to the strategic level, and the different attitudes of the two teams have led to different preparations before the game.
When the Timberwolves arrived in Miami, there were still many players going out to play, but the Heat were preparing to start the war in full swing.
Before the game, except for Miami's media, most of the other media believed that Miami's chances of winning were not high, because the Timberwolves had won 12 consecutive victories and were in a strong morale. Moreover, the Timberwolves had a history of winning the Celtics, while the Heat lost to several strong teams, which was a bit lacking in confidence.
Faced with this atmosphere, the Heat were surprisingly low-key and had no response. The Timberwolves were unwilling to provoke an opponent, and they also responded in a low-key manner.
The two teams want to be low-key, but fans and the media cannot be low-key. The game is lively and the fans are also looking forward to the game between these two teams.
You should know that the media compares these two teams horizontally every few days, and fans also want to know which one is stronger, the Heat or the Timberwolves.
In such a focus battle, TNT's guys are naturally rushing to broadcast the game.
The last pair of big mouths won the task, with Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller sitting excitedly in the Miami Arena.
Barkley couldn't help but play the puzzle game with Reggie Miller before the game: "Reggie, you can only win in today's game with two teams, tell me your reasons."
Reggie Miller said with a big mouth: "Of course it's the Timberwolves. Although the Timberwolves are not as popular as the Heat, the entire team is even more team-oriented, right? Moreover, the Heat have not beaten the strong team in the league until now. The entire team's chemistry is very bad. I think the Timberwolves must win today."
After Reggie Miller said this, Charles Barkley immediately smiled and said, "You are so cunning. I want to choose the Timberwolves. You should choose the Heat!"
Reggie Miller smiled and said, "You don't know that we Pacers and the Heat are vengeful. I will not support the Heat."
The two of them were laughing and joking. It seemed easier to warm up on the Timberwolves on the court, but the Heat seemed to be overwhelming, and the team members all seemed very solemn.
