"Zhuang, what makes you so happy?"

As soon as D'Antoni entered Zhuang Fei's office, he found that Zhuang Fei's mouth was smiling.

"Hehe, Mike, aren't you happy that the Lakers lost yesterday?" Zhuang Fei said with a smile, the Lakers have been up and down after being yin by him, after playing an overtime with the Suns led by Hardaway in the first game, yesterday's second game still played an overtime, but in the end it was lost, you must know that the current Suns do not have Kidd, Kidd was injured in the first game, and will miss all the games in the first round this season, unless the Suns can reach the division finals, Kidd will not be able to come back, it is in the face of such a Sun, the Lakers finally fought hard to lose at home in overtime, Zhuang Fei has now thought that Phil Jackson's face must be ugly.

"Zhuang, do you think the Suns will be able to stop the Lakers?" D'Antoni also asked with a smile, and then sat down in front of Zhuang Fei. He really wanted to know Zhuang Fei's answer.

"Can't" Zhuang Fei almost didn't hesitate, which also made D'Antoni stunned, he believed in Zhuang Fei's vision very much, especially the game prediction, Zhuang Fei's prediction of the game was basically not accurate, since Zhuang Fei knew that the Suns couldn't win the Lakers, so why were you so happy? It's normal for a team to have ups and downs, and the Lakers only have to advance without worry, even if the state is up and down.

"Okay, Zhuang, I really can't understand your thoughts" D'Antoni finally smiled and thought, of course he didn't know about Zhuang Fei stumbling on the Lakers, so he couldn't understand why Zhuang Fei was happy.

"Mike. What are you holding in your hands? Zhuang Fei was slightly stunned and looked at a fax paper in D'Antoni's hand and asked. I think D'Antoni came to him for something.

"This is SuperSonic's offer to Lewis, you know, this is already the third letter of the week" D'Antoni threw the fax paper on the table a little helplessly, then looked at Zhuang Fei with burning eyes and said: "This time or refusal?" ”

"Of course, the whole Timberwolves team is not for sale, our lineup is already perfect" Zhuang Fei rubbed the fax paper, and then threw it into the trash can next to him, Lewis is now an important three-point point on the team's bench. Lewis has been playing well since he was in the team's second team, with the offense becoming decisive and the defense no longer being porous. Although Lewis's tactical role has decreased a lot because of the emergence of Wang Zhizhi, this still can't change Zhuang Fei's evaluation of Lewis in his heart, Lewis is a big killing point for the Timberwolves' second team. When Ginobili and Mobley can't break through, Lewis will be the Timberwolves' most consistent scoring point, and his shooting ability is not comparable to Mobley or Ginobili now. With the rise of Lewis on the bench this season, there are more and more teams in the league who look at him, and the SuperSonics are just one of the most enthusiastic, and the SuperSonics have once again finished ninth in the West this season, missing the playoffs for two consecutive years, and they now have Payton on the outside, Wenbeck on the inside, and now they are short of a three-point shooter who can output steadily. And Lewis is undoubtedly the best choice, young and strong.

"I knew it would be like this" D'Antoni shook his head with a wry smile at the end, Zhuang Fei didn't even look at the supersonic offer, such a team director is definitely not a good businessman, and Zhuang Fei is really an alternative in a business league like the NBA.

"Zhuang. You're the only head coach in the NBA who can say 'my team is not for sale,' and honestly, I really envy you," D'Antoni said with a sigh.

"Hehe, Mike, any position is earned by yourself, and I can do it, and I'm sure you can do the same. I believe in your ability, you are just poor practice now" Zhuang Fei smiled and encouraged, in fact, this is not the first time that Zhuang Fei has encouraged his assistant to become a teacher, but his assistant has to follow him as if he is iron-hearted, this person Zhuang Fei is speechless, because judging from the evaluation of the dynasty system, D'Antoni's ability has reached its peak. …,

"No, Zhuang, you don't have to drive me away, if it's really time to leave, I'll leave," D'Antoni said, shaking his head.

"Well, I'm not going to chase you again"

"Xiaofei, are you going to play away now? Don't you need to bring clothes, it's such a cold day in the United States now, how long are you going to live away from home?"

These days, Zhuang Fei has been at home except for being on the team, because the schedule of the playoffs is the Timberwolves' two consecutive home games, and now that the two home games are over, Zhuang Fei should also fly to the away side, and it is also because of the schedule that his family has the illusion that Zhuang Fei has been playing in Minnesota, they really don't know the NBA, Zhuang Fei explained for a long time to let them understand.

"You don't need to bring clothes, it's just a day and a night, and it's still snowing in Minnesota in the whole United States, and it's already spring in other places" Zhuang Fei smiled and then continued: "I will tell Yang Yi to come and guide you during this time when I am not at home, you can go around in Minnesota, there are still many places worth going to in this place" After Zhuang Fei finished speaking, Scarlett's eyes were gloomy for a while, she should have come to take care of Zhuang Fei's family at this time, But because of his language barrier and missed this opportunity to enhance the relationship, Scarlett of course knew that Zhuang Fei's father seemed to have an opinion on him, although I don't know why his attitude was much better after that, but it was obvious that there was still no sense of closeness, originally Scarlett was preparing American Western food for them at home these days, but in the end she found that it was not with their appetite at all, which also made Scarlett feel aggrieved, although Zhuang Fei has been comforting her, but it still makes her very sad.

"Well, we know, although Yang Yi's kid has a broken mouth, it's not bad, Xiaofei, don't worry."

When Zhuang Fei was about to leave the house, he found that Scarlett had been following him all along, originally he thought that Scarlett was just reluctant to send him farther, but in the end he found that Scarlett had followed him to the airport.

"What's wrong with you," Zhuang Fei asked softly with his arms around Scarlett, she has been working hard lately.

"I want to meet New York, your dad doesn't like me, I don't know what to do" Scarlett almost burst into tears after speaking, which also made Zhuang Fei feel distressed for a while, long-distance love is indeed very difficult, now Zhuang Fei has not gone to see Scarlett's parents, if Scarlett's parents know that his daughter's boyfriend is a public enemy of New York, and he is more than 10 years older than his daughter, it is estimated that Zhuang Fei will also be quite tragic, thinking of this Zhuang Fei also gently held her in his arms.

"It's going to get better, you're a good girl no matter what, but now your communication is not good enough, as long as your Chinese is better, they will definitely like you in the future"

"Really" Scarlett raised her head slightly to look at Zhuang Fei's determined eyes, and then smiled with tears in her eyes.

"I know, I'll try"

Looking at the back of Scarlett leaving, Zhuang Fei's heart hurt again, for this little girl, she really endured a lot

In fact, at the beginning of the playoffs, when the match list was determined, all the media in the United States believed that the Timberwolves and the Kings were the least suspenseful, and those NBA experts almost unanimously believed that the Timberwolves would easily beat the Kings 3-0, and the final game evolution of the two teams also echoed this prediction, the Timberwolves' road trip this time was ready to win the opponent directly in one game, and it was a shame for the Kings to be swept by the Timberwolves for two consecutive years, and they knew that this series would lose to the Timberwolves, but must not let the Timberwolves sweep through themselves again.

So in the final match, the two teams played very weirdly, as ABC commentator Michaels said.

"The powerful Timberwolves are defending, the weak Kings are attacking, if the Kings can't attack for a long time, then the Timberwolves will start to fight back"...,

Zhuang Fei does intend to be conservative, deliberately avoiding the king's edge in this game, for the king they are mourning soldiers, and they are mourning soldiers who can no longer lose, Zhuang Fei does not need to be hard at the beginning, if there is really a little accident, it will not be beautiful, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, Zhuang Fei still understands this truth.

The king is attacking, the Timberwolves are defending, and the final outcome of the game is that although the king is in power, he is embarrassed by the Timberwolves' defensive counterattack, the Timberwolves' counterattack speed is the fastest in the league, and the king's defensive speed is almost the bottom of the league, which makes the Kings fans finally find that their team besieged the Timberwolves for the entire half, and the team fell behind by 10 points after the end of the final half, and finally in the second half, the team was completely lifeless and swept by the Timberwolves.

"The team players lost, the team tactics lost, and even my psychology was eaten by him, hehe, it's terrible" Adelman looked at the listless Kings players on the court with a dejected face, and his heart hurt like a pinprick, this round of the series lost worse than last year, last year lost the game without losing the fighting spirit, this year even the fighting spirit was lost, Adelman even had an urge to cry, even if he once led the Trail Blazers to the Finals to play the Bulls, he did not lose so badly, losing 14 games in a row.

The final score of this game was 119-95, and the Timberwolves won away from home, swept the Kings 3-0 to advance, and the Timberwolves also became the first team in the first round to advance to the second round.

"Mr. Adelman, look forward to the change of king next year" Zhuang Fei said with a smile after the game, while Adelman was a little dazed, but in the end, when Zhuang Fei turned to leave, Adelman gritted his teeth and came back to his senses.

"Someday I will beat you" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
