Now Van Gundy's position in the Timberwolves is very embarrassing, the champion team of last season and the defending champion of the previous two seasons did not reach the finals this season, not only did not reach the finals but even touched the floor of the Western Conference finals and was directly swept by the king who had seen a bully once before, you must know that under Zhuang Fei's rule, even the Timberwolves were the weakest when they reached the Western Conference finals, and they fought seven games with the final champion, and under Zhuang Fei's rule, this team has never lost to the king, At this point, Van Gundy completely discarded the records and traditions set by Zhuang Fei. And then the Timberwolves head coach is constantly pushing the limits of patience for Timberwolves fans.

It can be said that after the series between the Timberwolves and the Kings, the head coach of the Timberwolves, Van Gundy, did not dare to stay in Minnesota at all, the fans here are crazy, although these people have not done anything out of the ordinary, but if hundreds of fans go to his door every hour to sit and shout class, and such a thing is still 24 hours a day, and after the Timberwolves lost the game, Van Gundy is not the most condemned, as the big boss of the Timberwolves, Glenn Taylor, is, For the boss who has always said that he broke up with Zhuang Fei amicably because of a disagreement with his philosophy, this year is very important for him, and it is also very important for stabilizing the team, he doesn't care if he can win the championship this season, if he can win the championship, it is the best, if he can't get it, he also needs to be able to have a decent result, such as entering the division finals or the finals or something, at least it can't be worse than the worst results Zhuang Fei created here, but what makes this boss extremely depressed now is that this Van Gundy is too incompetent. Zhuang Fei could easily cut the regular season and the second playoffs to enter the division finals with such a lineup in the first season. And now this Van Gundy is playing like this with such an ace lineup. It can be said that Glenn Taylor wanted to train Van Gundy well after the game, but to the disappointment of the owner, Van Gundy was so frightened by the fans after the game that he returned to New York overnight after the press conference, and did not even dare to return to his home in Minnesota.

Van Gundy ran away, hoping to wait for the wave to pass before coming back, but as a Minnesota congressman and team owner Glenn Taylor has no chance of running away now, the guy lives in a villa area. There was no way for the fans to harass his family, but despite this, there were still a huge number of fans who went to the Minnesota State Capitol every day to rally and block Glenn Taylor. This left Glenn Taylor with no way to function normally at all. And every time he gets these fans' requests from his assistants to want Van Gundy to leave class and ask Zhuang Fei to come back, it makes the owner very aggrieved.

Get Van Gundy out of class? Last year, he signed a three-year, $11 million contract with Van Gundy, and with his team assistants, the Timberwolves need to pay them $5 million a year. It's only been 1 season now, and it will cost him $10 million to fire him now, although the Timberwolves have made a lot of money this season, but as a shrewd speculator, he pursues that there will be a return for paying, and he can't do this kind of thing that loses 10 million in vain and doesn't have any return, if he is really forced to do it, then this thing can make his heart be in a state of dripping blood for a whole year. In addition to the fact that it is difficult to get Van Gundy out of class, it is even more difficult to re-invite Zhuang Fei back, there is no room for compromise in this matter, if he really invites Zhuang Fei, it will not show everyone that the plans he did last year and the future plan of the team are not like a piece of waste paper and a laughing stock?

It's just that at this time, these two difficult things are not done, if neither of them is done. Then he himself knows that he will not even be able to go to the team and parliament in the future, and finally at the suggestion of the assistant, the owner finally endured the pain of blood dripping from his heart On the third day after the Timberwolves were swered, the owner held a press conference and decided to fire the head coach of the Timberwolves, Van Gundy, and his team. When asked about the new coach, the owner has been hesitating, and it is obvious that the owner did not give any clear statement about Coach Z, which is called for by Minnesota public opinion and fans, but judging from the speech, the owner promised that the team will return to the basketball of two years ago, and the Timberwolves' basketball two years ago was naturally offensive basketball, and it seems that the owner is ready to hire an offensive coach. In addition to Zhuang Fei, others, such as George Carr, the head coach of the United States team who is now at home preparing for this year's World Championships, are also big favorites. …,

Now the public opinion in Minnesota and the public opinion in the American media are discussing the possibility of Coach Z returning to the Timberwolves, but at this time Zhuang Fei did not pay attention to these things, although it is impossible not to be affected, not long ago the Timberwolves players Garnett and Pierce They also called to hope that Zhuang Fei can return to the target center, but Zhuang Fei refused, he could not return to that place before leaving the Timberwolves without success, even if he succeeded, As long as the Timberwolves have Glenn Taylor, he will not go back, and after getting Zhuang Fei's answer, Garnett and Pierce are very disappointed but there is nothing they can do, and Zhuang Fei is once again focusing on the upcoming Eastern Conference Finals with the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies and Boston Celtics played on the road on May 20, the first time this season that Zhuang Fei played away from home in the first two games of the series.

This game is very difficult, this is true for the Boston Celtics, not only this game is difficult, but this round of the series is the same, although now the Celtics and Grizzlies are both winning 7 games in a row in the playoffs, but in the opinion of the outside world, this round of the series Boston Celtics can hold on to five games at most, and the Grizzlies will directly defeat the Celtics with a score of 4-1 or less to easily advance, which is also the conclusion that these media have drawn with reference to the regular season results and playoff performance of the two teams, Just as the Celtics were the nemesis of the Wizards, the Grizzlies are the nemesis of the Celtics now.

"Now Coach Z needs to work a miracle, an unbeatable miracle, a team like the Grizzlies won't give them a chance, they need to find their own opportunity to beat the Grizzlies, it's hard for any team, and I know very well the quality of this team" Pacers head coach Larry Bird, who was swept by the Grizzlies in the first round at the beginning of the game, said something like this in the commentary box that hurt Celtics fans.

And in fact, the process of the game is also moving forward according to the legendary star's expectations, the Boston Celtics were pinned down by the Grizzlies at the beginning of this game, and the main focus of this Celtics lineup is still Yao Ming, which is the inherent tactics of the Celtics in the first two rounds of the series, Yao Ming is the tactical core of the team, and this trick is also very useful when playing the Grizzlies in the regular season. Although the next game did not have such a situation that exploded Ben Wallace again, it can also prove that for the current Celtics, only Yao Ming has an advantage against the Grizzlies, and it is difficult for the Grizzlies to play a tactical effect on the other points, especially the other core of the team, Maddy.

This is something that many people expected to happen, and the Grizzlies will definitely have to study the predicament that Yao Ming encountered in the last game. So at the beginning of this game, Jerry West asked Ben Wallace to put down the waist of the center of gravity card owner Yao Ming according to the method of Jordan in the previous round, Ben Wallace's height is not very high, although the registered height is 2.06 meters, but the actual height is definitely lower, the defensive ability of this center and the strength of the top man are definitely not comparable to Jordan, a fake center, with the strength of Yao Ming now, let alone sit in a low position to play Jordan like the previous game, as long as Yao Ming is held up by Ben Wallace in this game, With his strength, he couldn't even get off the ground, and the big Chinese man, who had completely lost his biggest weapon, encountered the biggest crisis of his career.

When the Celtics' most threatening point against the Grizzlies was contained, Zhuang Fei could only play Maddie in the triangle attack according to the established plan, and this series would eventually become a confrontation between Maddy and Carter. And the outcome of this round of the series also depends on the result of the duel between these two people, especially the Celtics' dependence on Maddie is greater, after all, the tactics of triangle offense are far more dependent on their core players than general tactics, but at this time Maddie and Carter are directly compared, and the gap can be imagined.

So from the beginning to the end of this game, Zhuang Fei and his Celtics were completely suppressed by the Grizzlies, and the score was also behind from the beginning to the end, and this game is from the inside to the outside, the Grizzlies feel like an airtight wall, and the Celtics are like the prey surrounded by this wall, and the prey is also hit in the continuous impact on this wall. The result of this game was a comfortable 94-81 home win over the Celtics.

"If Coach Z wants to win a game, they'll have to give up the triangle offense they've been practicing for months, and the Celtics don't have the ability to use that tactic against the Grizzlies right now," Larry Bird sighed as he looked at the final scoreboard after the game.

At this time, Zhuang Fei also looked at the players who came down from the court and frowned. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
