The Timberwolves defeated the Celtics at home, while the Lakers unexpectedly lost to the Phoenix Suns at home, which undoubtedly allowed Zhuang Fei's team to consolidate its fourth position in the West again, but what disappointed Zhuang Fei and his team was that the Spurs, Trail Blazers, Rockets, and Jazz all won, which made Zhuang Fei feel a little powerless, the three teams in front of him were too stable, how could there be no big fluctuations, and the Rockets were also eyeing the fifth, which really made Zhuang Fei a little uncomfortable.

"What we need is Zhuang Fei" The Boston media pressed Pitino again the next day, criticizing Pitino's incompetence in those media reports, completely ignoring the strength of the Celtics themselves.

"Boston can't stand him anymore, the fact is that the championship coach and the runner-up coach are completely different creatures, Boston was simply blind more than half a year ago, and actually gave up Zhuang Fei and chose Pitino, is it because Pitino is a native of Boston"

Overnight, Pitino, an NCAA celebrity, became a street rat, and no one else forgot to step on it except for the Boston media.

"I hope he can withstand these pressures, from the current point of view, the boss of Boston is still very calm, still believe in him, except for the media and fans come out to bombard, no official figure in Boston has come out to accuse him" Zhuang Fei picked up a copy of the New York Times in his office and read it.

It is strange to say that Zhuang Fei and the New York media are mortal enemies, and the New York media also regard Zhuang Fei as a mortal enemy, but Zhuang Fei likes to read the New York Times very much, compared to these newspapers such as the United States today, the New York Times is more bold, boldly protecting his own team, boldly criticizing others, and boldly admitting the strength of the opponent, which is a very complex and very simple media.

"I think it's good to be an assistant coach all the time, it's really stressful to be a manager, especially a big manager or a top manager, if you're a big manager and a top manager, then it's even more stressful, and Pitino is like that, everyone has expectations for him, but he can't respond to those expectations," D'Antoni lamented.

"I don't believe you'll give up on your dream of being a head coach," Zhuang Fei looked at D'Antoni and smiled. D'Antoni is persistent and persistent in this dream.

"Yes, but I will definitely choose a bad team when I coach for the first time in the future, even if a team like the Timberwolves is not suitable for me" D'Antoni said seriously, it seems that the encounter between Zhuang Fei and Pitino touched him a lot, and also made him have some instinctive fear of the giants.

Zhuang Fei didn't speak, just nodded slightly, he remembered that in his previous life, the person in front of him suffered Waterloo at the New York Knicks, and then lost almost all the capital accumulated in the Suns, the giants were really terrible.

After the victory over Boston, Zhuang Fei and his team after a day of rest, and then went to Miami away to challenge the Miami Heat, this season's Miami Heat performance is very good, currently in the East has been with the Magic, the Pacers bite each other, it is very likely to win the regular season championship in the East this season, Zhuang Fei remembers very clearly that this season the Heat did win the Eastern regular season championship this season, and then was completed by New York Black Eight, regardless of whether New York has the strength of the Eastern Conference championship and the unexpected regular season performance is too bad, In fact, as far as the current NBA pattern after the dissolution of the Bulls dynasty is concerned, the top teams in the league are in the West, Spurs, Jazz, Lakers, Trail Blazers, these four are currently the top four teams in the league, these four teams are very good at starting and benching, each position is also very good, the depth is very thick, and the team lineup basically has no shortcomings, while second-tier teams such as the Heat, Magic, Pacers, and Timberwolves have their own problems, and will always have their own shortcomings and deficiencies in a certain link.

In terms of strength, the Heat has two active All-Stars of Mourning and Tim Hardaway, and last season's Tim Hardaway averaged 26+7 per game in the playoffs, but there is no doubt that Tim Hardaway is indeed old, and his state has dropped a lot this season, and the 34-year-old is particularly difficult in the shrinking season, according to Zhuang Fei's knowledge in his previous life, Tim Hardaway is the biggest sinner in the famous Black Eight Miracle, as for how big this crime is, he doesn't know very much, of course, in addition to Hardaway, the Heat's bench and No. 2 and No. 3 positions are also very weak, Their starting No. 3 35-year-old Malley is no longer the one of the former Suns, and their first substitute this season, Terry Porter, is still a former player of the Timberwolves, and is one of the two elders of the Timberwolves last season.

The Timberwolves are stronger than the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, the Heat are strong at the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, and the center Mourning and power forward PJ Brown are both inside giants in the league, which can also see the style of play of the two teams, the Timberwolves seek speed and offense, so the Timberwolves are the team with the most points per game in the league, while the Heat is on the defensive side, so they are currently the third team in the league to concede the third fewest points, and Mourning is also the current league's block king, averaging 4 blocks per game.

So this game is actually a contest of style and style, whoever can play their own style can get the final victory, in fact, since being abused by Carter, Pierce's recent form has been surprisingly good, this game is even more so, no one on the outside line of Miami's group of classic cars can prevent him, not only that, his three-point shooting rate this season is as high as 42%, in terms of shooting percentage, it is not worse than Wallis Zebiak, but he doesn't shoot as much as Szebiak, Szzambiak averaged nearly 10 three-point shots per game, while Pierce only made 5 shots, but even so, the Timberwolves' three-point shots led by Pierce, Lewis, and Jackson also gave the two big men on the Miami interior a big challenge, because the Timberwolves just didn't break through this game, all of them shot on the perimeter or mid-range, and the shooting rate was very high and the efficiency was also very high, which made Mourning and Brown very helpless. Similarly, Pat Riley was also very helpless, he naturally understood that the reason why the Timberwolves played like this must be Zhuang Fei's special arrangement, but he really couldn't do anything in the face of Zhuang Fei's targeted arrangement.

"It would be nice if Jamal Mashburn wasn't injured" Pat Riley looked at Keith Askins, who started in place of Jamal Mashburn, on the sidelines, and was a little helpless, and then saw Mobley in the Timberwolves bench, Anthony Peeler and Sam Mitchell were speechless, what kind of team is this? The No. 2 and No. 3 players on the bench are all NBA starters, at least much better than the No. 2 and No. 3 starters on his own team.

"Tsk, this is their weakness, the athletic talent on the outside is too poor, no wonder it will be black 8 in New York, New York's outside line is also a group of musketeers, Larry Johnson, Sprewell, Alan Houston, I really can't figure out that New York, which has such a group of strongmen, will be ranked eighth in the East" Zhuang Fei said to himself on the sidelines,

36 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals, this is Pierce's performance in this game, including 5 of 9 three-point shots, Mourning is still the most trusted player of the Heat, 28 points and 12 rebounds in this game, but only 1 block, which is a bit embarrassing for the block king who averages 4 blocks per game, because the Timberwolves players did not give him a chance to block at all, and he was also made 6 turnovers by Garnett in this game.

"Your players are so accurate, I am convinced, especially Pierce," Pat Riley praised Pierce when he shook hands with Zhuang Fei after the game.

"Mo Ning is also great" Zhuang Fei was a little polite, he didn't like Pat Riley very much, probably because he was influenced by some Chinese media in later generations, and he had a good impression of this god operator, not as excited as he was when he met Tang Shuai.

"It's very powerful, but this game is not too useful, by the way, Zhuang, are you free tonight, I want to talk to you" Pat Riley first sighed, and then looked at Zhuang Fei with anticipation, and it could be seen that he admired Zhuang Fei very much.

In the face of Pat Riley's enthusiasm, Zhuang Fei was a little surprised, the two should have no intersection, but Zhuang Fei knew that when Zhuang Fei was in college, especially in the last year of college, when Zhuang Fei presented Carter, Szzebiak, James Posey, Ragabel and other almost all sè swingman lineups in his team, Pat Riley would praise Zhuang Fei and his Wake Forest in the media almost after every game of Zhuang Fei, which made the media and Zhuang Fei very puzzled at that time. It's all about whether Pat Riley is paying too much attention to Wake Forest.

Looking at such an enthusiastic Pat Riley, Zhuang Fei finally thought about it and nodded, the Timberwolves will live in Miami tonight, and there is nothing to meet Pat Riley by himself.
