(The retirement of the two takes away not only their brilliant glory, but also our youth, of course, it is best to wish Kidd and Hill, two good friends who entered the NBA at the same time, won the best rookie at the same time, and retired at the same time)

"These guys are really annoying like flies, I thought this series would be as clean as the last round, but now it seems impossible, these guys are so annoying"

On May 5, 2004, the day before the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks series, Zhuang Fei, who had just participated in an NBA-mandated interview before the game, returned to his office and lay helplessly in his office chair.

In this year's NBA Best Head Coach selection, Zhuang Fei did not lose the Best Head Coach award without a trace of surprise, Zhuang Fei has won the Best Head Coach award in his first season with the Celtics, in this case, with the requirements of this award, Zhuang Fei is impossible to win the award again if he can't make a breakthrough in the Celtics, even if he has now completed the result of leading the team to play more than 70 wins for two consecutive seasons, but even so, he still does not meet the requirements for Zhuang FeiAt the very least, Zhuang Fei did not create a new league regular season record, and the Celtics did not have many breakthroughs in results compared to last season or last season.

In this case, Zhuang Fei basically does not have this award, and this year's two popular Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell and Hawks head coach Tristotts, both of whom are considered NBA rookie head coaches, and these two people also have the same background, Tristotz is the former assistant coach of Timberwolves head coach George Karl, it can be said that he was the assistant coach of the Timberwolves a year ago, and similarly, Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell is one of Zhuang Fei's assistant coaches in the last year of the Timberwolves.

Zhuang Fei in the last year of the Timberwolves, as the oldest Sam Mitchell on the team, is a player and coach, and after Zhuang Fei left, he also became the assistant coach of the Timberwolves club after retiring, and the assistant coach in the NBA is divided into two categories, one is the assistant coach who runs with a certain head coach like Thibodu and Green, and the other is the assistant coach who is stationed on the team, and Sam Mitchell was the assistant coach of Zhuang Fei when he was in the Timberwolves before, but he belongs to the Timberwolves. It does not belong to Zhuang Fei personally.

And just a week before the start of this year's regular season, the Raptors fired the team's former head coach O'Neal invited the former Timberwolves legendary role player who served as an assistant coach in the Timberwolves, and in fact, this is also because of the recommendation of the former boss of the Raptors and the current second-in-command Mobley, Mobley had a very good relationship with Sam Mitchell when he was in the Timberwolves, in this case, the Raptors are also happy to poach people from the Timberwolves, and for a team like the Raptors, Since missing Zhuang Fei in the summer of 1998 because of the boss's brain-dead behavior, the team has always been interested in the people around Zhuang Fei, such as the players who have poached Zhuang Fei more than once and finally poached Mobley, and this team has also poached assistant coaches around Zhuang Fei more than once, such as Green and D'Antoni in the past.

In this case, although Sam Mitchell is not Zhuang Fei's real assistant, but after all, he is also Zhuang Fei's former disciple, and it turns out that this team has been very successful in these two poaching of Zhuang Fei, whether it is Mobley as a player or Sam Mitchell as a coach, of course, perhaps this is also the reason for the success of this team this season, after all, for a team in the NBA, the strength of the player aside, the environment in the locker room and the chemistry of the team are very important, And because of Sam Mitchell's relationship with Mobley.

It can be said that the interior of this team's locker room is very harmonious, and the head coach of the Raptors deserves to win the best head coach this year, and Zhuang Fei also expressed his congratulations for the first time after his former assistant won the award, Sam Mitchell is also one of his most trusted disciples in the Timberwolves, and the former Timberwolves player has not asked Zhuang Fei for advice after entering the Raptors, in this case, Zhuang Fei is sincerely congratulating his disciple, It's just that for Zhuang Fei, he congratulated Sam Mitchell, but not for many other media, due to the need for hype, these people almost all kinds of gossip came out.

For example, what student defeated the teacher, Zhuang Fei was jealous of being able to get along with Sam Mitchell in the Timberwolves and deliberately suppressed this talented disciple, etc., and even these people took out Zhuang Fei's current disciple Green to talk about things, for example, Zhuang Fei is also suppressing Green, not letting him go to other NBA teams to fight against him, you know, the current Green has received more invitations in the NBA than Sam Mitchell, in this case, Zhuang Fei's assistant has been rejecting these invitations It is also an incredible thing, After all, whether in terms of salary or technical and tactical independence, assistant coaches and head coaches cannot be compared.

After Zhuang Fei renewed his contract not long ago, although Green also signed a new contract with the Celtics to vassalize Zhuang Fei, his annual salary also soared to 2.5 million US dollars, which is the highest annual salary of an NBA assistant coach, but this salary is only the lowest annual salary of the current NBA head coach, as long as he leaves Zhuang Fei, he can basically get an annual salary of more than 4 million or even 5 million at the minimum, you must know that the current Sam Mitchell is three million, but obviously, This apprentice brought out by Zhuang Fei from the university has no intention of going out to be independent. In this case, Zhuang Fei also faced a lot of pressure. So in this interview, Zhuang Fei was also bombarded indiscriminately.

"I thought the coach was used to it, but I didn't expect the coach to be so afraid of these people" Green felt that his teacher was a little interesting at this time, and his teacher had never been afraid of these people before.

"I don't want to be portrayed as a jealous person by these people, which will affect my image in the future," Zhuang Fei said jokingly, but in fact, for Zhuang Fei, a godfather-type head coach who aspires to become a meritorious person, a godfather-type head coach who is determined to make meritorious contributions, establish morality, and speak up. He really didn't like how these people described him, and he didn't care that these reporters called him arrogant, that he was rude. It doesn't matter, these are some of the personalities of opinion, but if he is put on such a vicious and jealous hat, how can he complete the virtue.

Zhuang Fei has always been very careful about his influence on the 'ball' since he entered the NBA or the NCAA, he never wanted to be a coach like Popovich or Larry Brown, and he will do anything to win, but Zhuang Fei will never do something that damages his reputation in the game, and it is precisely because of this that Zhuang Fei has always rejected that kind of fierce defense. Or some very abnormal tactics, such as 'shark slashing tactics', even before entering the NBA. Zhuang Fei has always been very reluctant to wrap and trap tactics.

It's not that Zhuang Fei has a habit of cleanliness, nor does he want to be tall and complete, but after he became a basketball coach, for him personally, in Zhuang Fei's heart, the real and most perfect head coach is a person who can make meritorious contributions and make virtues and words, and he is just to realize the ethereal existence in his heart that is perfect for him personally, this is his subconscious need, it can be said that for Zhuang Fei he is one' He cherishes his reputation, so it is natural that he can't treat these reporters as indifferently as before.

Of course, Green naturally didn't know what Zhuang Fei was thinking, he just took Zhuang Fei's words as a joke, if his head coach really cared about reputation, would he play with these reporters like this? It's just obvious that the reputation in Zhuang Fei's heart is not the same as the reputation that the Celtics assistant coach thinks. It's just that for his disciple's understanding, Zhuang Fei didn't plan to explain anything.

Now the first round of the NBA has all ended, and even some of the second round games have been played, and this time is naturally the announcement date of the award results for the NBA, such as this year's best sixth man was taken away by Wade of the Boston Celtics, although the Celtics' bench guard has been the main force in the next dozen games, but according to the selection rules of the best sixth man, he is still a substitute player, and this is also after Arenas last season, Celtic are the second player to win the award.

And another award that is about the same level as the best sixth man, the most improved award was awarded by the league to the Nuggets' leading player Arenas, the Nuggets' leading player has averaged 30.5 points per game this season, and the average assists per game is 5.5, which can be said to be an increase of nearly 10 points per game compared to last season's signing Celtics guards, and assists have also increased by 2, in this case, basically no one in the league is his opponent, And he also became the only person in NBA history to be the league's most improved player for two consecutive seasons, which is probably the next to come.

The best rookie who has attracted more attention than the best sixth man and the most improved player was also decided on May 6, the day of the Celtics and Hawks game, and surprisingly, this time the best rookie was tied, Anthony and James won the best rookie at the same time, and this is the first time in NBA history since Kidd and Grant Hill tied in the 1994-1995 season, and it is also the third tie in NBA history. In addition to Anthony and James tied for the best rookie award, the Celtics' rookie Wade was only selected to the rookie first team. (To be continued.) If you like this work.
