Chapter 198: This Is Your Team Too

It's the beginning of January, the coldest time in Minnesota, when Nash left Garnett's house again, his body shrank again, he has adapted to the cold climate of Minnesota, he is Canadian, it is already six o'clock in the evening, the sky is still some light snow, Zhuang Fei's home is not far from Garnett's soldiers, there is little snow along the way, it is obvious that this high-end residential area is doing a good job, Nash thought about the envy and sympathy of his teammates just now and laughed a little in his heart.

Zhuang Fei's position in the minds of these Timberwolves players is very special, Zhuang Fei is a coach but not an ordinary coach, he is like a best coach to make the Timberwolves players continue to grow in strength, Nash clearly feels the difference between his current self and his past self, it is only a year, the difference is already very big, if someone told him a year ago that he would become an All-Star player, it is estimated that he would think that person is sarcastic about him, but now he is considered to be an All-Star player, That's what that special manager brought to the table.

Special, this is the word that comes up in the hearts of all Timberwolves players, and they themselves don't know how to say this special feeling, such as being like a father? Obviously, their coach is still young, if the coach is now forty or fifty years old, they will not care about the special meaning in their hearts, because it is obvious that Zhuang Fei is the godfather who has been taking care of their growth in all aspects, but now Zhuang Fei is less than 30 years old, not much older than them, and the word godfather is naturally impossible to say.

Zhuang Fei's home is really big. There is a large courtyard outside the single-family villa, the courtyard door is open at this time, it is obvious that Zhuang Fei is waiting for a guest to come to the door, Nash entered the courtyard and walked straight to the door of the villa, at this time Nash found that there was a crack in the door, and they were also open.

"The coach is really not afraid of robbers," Nash thought with a smile, although the United States prides itself on being the best country in the world. But this country is full of vagabonds, thieves, robbers. It can be said that Americans are most afraid of these characters, and it is really rare to see such as Zhuang Fei, although Nash knows that this is for his own convenience.

"Haha. Steve, don't look at it, come and sit here, the hot pot is ready."

Nash was taken aback as soon as he entered Zhuang Fei's house, big, too big, this living room was more than twice the size of Garnett's house, and at this time Nash also heard Zhuang Fei's voice. Zhuang Fei's living room and dining room are separated by only one wall, and there is no door in between. He didn't eat much at noon today because of the evening party, and now he looks a little hungry.

Since Nash came to the Timberwolves, he has never been invited by Zhuang Fei alone, and he rarely eats with Zhuang Fei, and now he feels a little nervous.

"Coach, is this a type of Chinese cuisine? It smells good," Nash thought. I calmed myself down.

"yes, it's called hot pot, it's my favorite food, you can't eat it in the United States, especially in Minnesota, it's freezing right now. It's the best place to eat this," Zhuang Fei smiled and put the garlic in front of Nash for the night.

Zhuang Fei This is also the first time to invite players to his home, I remember that when he was still in Wake Forest three years ago, Zhuang Fei also tricked Carter to eat mapo tofu, and now everyone is not human. In fact, to a certain extent, the coach and the teacher, like the teacher, are constantly repeating the reunion and parting, and then teaching the disciples who echo their own hearts, and enjoy the joy of creating excellent works in this moment of reunion and separation.

"It tastes okay," Zhuang Fei looked at the gobbling up Nash opposite and said, at first Zhuang Fei was really afraid that the hot pot would not meet Nash's taste, but now it seems that there are still certain standards for judging food around the world. …,

"That's great, Coach," Nash said, picking up a piece of beef and putting it in his mouth, his mouth still eating as he spoke. This also made Zhuang Fei very happy. In fact, it is indeed very lonely to live alone on such days, and now Scarlett is not here, and her parents and brothers are also in China.

"If you have the opportunity to go to China in the future, I will take you to Sichuan to eat the most authentic hot pot," Zhuang Fei brought a cup of boiling water and handed it to Nash, who had already eaten, and said.

"Coach. It's delicious enough, it's the best food I've ever had" Nash smiled and continued, "I'd love to visit the coach's hometown, it's a mysterious country"

Zhuang Fei smiled and nodded, he lived in the United States for more than three years to know that the mystery of China in the minds of foreigners is not a good word, before crossing he always thought that the mystery said by foreigners was praise, in the minds of foreigners, Chinese are smart, diligent, pragmatic of course also welcome, but after coming here, it is not the same thing at all, American television has been scandalizing China, and Chinese are also the least popular among the major ethnic minorities in the United States, It's a miracle that a special case like Zhuang Fei's can exist in the United States.

"Coach, did you invite me to dinner this time" Nash suddenly came to his senses after enjoying the afterglow of the meal, as if the coach hadn't said anything serious, of course he wouldn't think that Zhuang Fei was just inviting him to dinner. It's impossible.

Zhuang Fei looked at Nash and smiled and didn't speak, Zhuang Fei knew that his image in the minds of these players was a little serious, these players usually wanted to contact him and were afraid of contacting him, a very contradictory mood, in fact, Zhuang Fei deliberately created such an image, he could get along with the players, just like friends, but Zhuang Fei couldn't do this. The contact between the coach and the players must have a bottom line, and this bottom line is majestic in Zhuang Fei's view, so he rarely goes to dinner with the players in private to talk about feelings or anything like that, if he is really too familiar, it is not a good thing.

"Steve, can you tell me whose team the Timberwolves are?" Zhuang Fei said after a pause.

Who is the Timberwolves' team? Nash was stunned in his heart, does this still need to ask, it is naturally the coach's team, but after a little thought, Nash reacted, the coach was asking the players.

"Well, the Timberwolves are Kevin's team, and Kevin is the boss of this team" Nash thought for a moment and then said, he didn't know why the coach asked that, could it be that the team had infighting for the boss like last season? However, Nash quickly vetoed his own idea, and the Timberwolves have been united this season, and they have been united since the loss to the Spurs, and defeat can unite everyone in everything, so this kind of thing is unlikely.

"What else?" Zhuang Fei smiled noncommittally, and did not say that it was right or wrong.

"And?" Nash was stunned for a moment, then added with some confidence: "Paul? But after Nash finished speaking, he looked at Zhuang Fei's appearance and still didn't nod or shake his head.

"What else?" Zhuang Fei asked again, while Nash didn't know how to answer with his mouth open. Seeing Nash like this, Zhuang Fei could only sigh in his heart.

"Steve, haven't you thought about yourself, this team is both Kevin and Paul's, and yours," Zhuang Fei said as he stared at Nash at the end. Nash has been avoiding the responsibility of becoming a core last season, everyone knows that he is the core of the team's organization, but he himself doesn't know it, he habitually likes to look at his teammates, and his teammates are happy when they are happy, so many times he will sacrifice himself or sacrifice the team's tactical needs to meet the emotions of his teammates, Nash's approach is too painful for Zhuang Fei, there is nothing wrong with being selfless, but it is wrong to be selfless to this extent. Originally, Zhuang Fei was like correcting Nash's mentality last season, but because Nash's strength was too reluctant last season, but after the inheritance of the magician, Nash's ability value has now reached 89, which is already the peak of A-level players, it can be said that he has the ability to take on such a responsibility, Zhuang Fei hopes that Nash will understand himself, but what disappoints Zhuang Fei is that Nash still enjoys this state of play, and he is still willing to be a person who stands by and laughs at his teammates. …,

As the team's organizational brain, Nash should have corrected some of Xiao O'Neal's wrong runs and wrong decisions on the court, but Nash did not do this, but chose to sacrifice the team's tactics and his own offense to complete Xiao O's, Xiao Ao's tactics that he could run out of training returned to the same way when it came to the game, which was what Nash was used to.

For example, Xiao Ao is used to asking for the ball in the low post, which makes the opponent put heavy troops in the middle to defend him, and it also compresses Nash's breakthrough space and disrupts Zhuang Fei's deployment, Nash can not pass the ball to Xiao Ao on the court, so that Xiao Ao leaves the low post in gray, but Nash sacrifices his offense and the team's arrangement to hand over the ball to Xiao Ao in the low post to play alone.

This is the most helpless place for Zhuang Fei, in Nash's heart, his teammates are happier than anything else. It is even possible that in Nash's heart, even if the team loses, but the teammates are happy, it doesn't matter if they lose.

"The team is also mine" Nash was recalling Zhuang Fei's words, he heard such words for the first time, but he was a little confused at this time, because he didn't want this team at all, he liked the current state very much. He didn't want to force himself into it.

"Steve, what can make everyone on the team happiest is that the team wins the championship at the end, and if the team wants to win the championship, you have to let go of those naïve ideas, and then play your strongest strength to maximize the Timberwolves' offense," Zhuang Fei said coldly at the end.

Nash was a little distracted when he left, Zhuang Fei knew that this would take a process for him, and once a person's ideal or concept was formed, it would be difficult to correct it in a short time.

Zhuang Fei is willing to give Nash time to change, but the premise is that he must learn to change, if he keeps doing this, Zhuang Fei will naturally have other tougher methods.
