Chapter 172: The State of Enchantment

"Coach Z is crazy, he's completely crazy, he actually said that the kid named Jermaine O'Neal will blow up Patrick in the next game against the New York Knicks, it's unbelievable, not only that, but he actually thinks that Bruce Bowen can make Alan Houston score without a double when he plays against New York next time, this madman has now begun to completely forget what this place is, he even forgot who he is, Patrick is one of the greatest centers in history, Even though he is suffering from injuries now, the kid named O'Neal is definitely not his opponent, the Timberwolves' O'Neal is not the big shark of the Lakers, and as for Bruce Bowen, who was abandoned by the Boston Celtics, a player who didn't get his first guaranteed contract until he was 28 years old deserves to be compared to Allan"

At the press conference after the end of the game with the King, Zhuang Fei directly threw out a statement that shocked the whole United States in the face of the New York reporter's attack.

"I think Jermaine O'Neal can beat Patrick Patrick Ewing and Bruce Bowen can make Alan Houston score without a double-double, that's what they're worth"

In the face of Zhuang Fei's extremely arrogant statement, even some pro-Zhuang Fei media disagreed. It's not an equalweight class at all, and even if the gorilla is old, he can still contribute 18 points and 10 rebounds per game last season, but what about O'Neal Jr.? It's just a hairy kid who averages 3 plus 3 per game and asks him to beat the gorilla? It's definitely a dream. As for the other matchup, Bowen and Houston, it is even more incomparable, the Gorilla was injured at the beginning of the season, and soon the New York Knicks without the Gorilla started with three consecutive wins, and are now in first place in the East, and in these three games, Alan Houston scored 18, 23, 29, and averaged 23.5 points per game. Now that he has taken over the Gorillas' position as New York's number one star, Alan Houston is now one of the best outside players in the league, can Bowen make such a top player in the league not score in double figures? What is this not a dream?

"I don't think that's what Coach Z meant, or he didn't mean it, maybe everyone misunderstood his sentence, but I still believe that Coach Z is a sane person, okay, okay, maybe that's really what Coach Z is trying to say. But I hope that Jermaine O'Neal and Bruce Bowen, who have high hopes for Coach Z in the Timberwolves' away game against the New York Knicks on November 11, can perform well, "Even the United States, which has always supported Zhuang Fei, has begun to sing about Zhuang Fei, because as long as it is a normal person, they will not think that O'Neal Jr. can beat the gorilla, and Bowen can prevent Alan Houston." What made Zhuang Fei even more embarrassed was that the Timberwolves' third game was against the Knicks. In other words, all the media or fans in the United States will not forget this matter because of time.

"Well, that's interesting, Bruce Bowen? I don't know who he is, maybe he's a good defender, maybe that's a source of confidence for Coach Z, but if I'm not mistaken, I've played Jordan more than 20 times and the lowest score was 11. If Coach Z thinks that guy named Bruce Bowen can really guard me, then I hope he can do better than Jordan, and maybe I'll treat him as Jordan's opponent in the next game" In the interview with the New York reporter, Alan Houston, who has always had a good temper, also showed great anger, although he restrained himself, but it was clear that his anger was not difficult to see in his words.

"Can we make a comeback against the Timberwolves? I don't know, maybe I can't. Injuries are annoying, but if possible I'll be back against the Timberwolves in the next game, I'll let that kid see what a top center is, and hopefully that guy named Jermaine can be as good as that guy named Shaq" The gorilla, who has been plagued by injuries this season, was also angered by Zhuang Fei. …,

All of a sudden, all the sports media in the United States began to count the days and wait for the arrival of November 11th

"Zhuang, I really don't understand why you have to provoke them. And he also made such a mindless statement: "In the office of the head coach of the Timberwolves, Zhuang Fei leaned back on his office chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, while the general manager of the team in front of him, McHale, was helpless.

"Now it's fine. Everyone is getting ready to see our jokes, Zhuang, I think you should restrain your temper" McHale looked at Zhuang Fei with a look of hatred, but Zhuang Fei didn't react in the slightest, still leaning his back there and closing his eyes, as if thinking about something, which also made McHale helpless.

"Kevin, don't be so angry, isn't it just a small bet, I've never lost something like this, you have to have some confidence in me" Zhuang Fei finally opened his eyes and sat up, propped his hands on the desk and looked at McHale with a smile and said.

"It's not a matter of winning or losing, I think you'll make enemies like you sooner or later, and it's for your own good," McHale sighed as he looked at the stubborn Zhuang Fei.

Seeing McHale like this, Zhuang Fei just smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, he knew that McHale was also worried about him.

"Kevin, even if I can endure it once, I can't endure it twice, three times, you know, with my character, it is impossible to keep myself in a weak position, and there is no way to resolve this matter" Zhuang Fei knocked on the table and said.

"So, what are you going to do now? You don't really think Jermaine can beat Patrick, do you? And can Bruce be compared to Alan Houston? McHale finally shook his head and smiled bitterly, Obviously, after November 11th, Zhuang Fei will become the laughing stock of this NBA, at least now McHale is not optimistic about Zhuang Fei.

"Why not? You have to have confidence in the players in your own team, and they are all players that I like," Zhuang Fei still smiled.

"Okay, okay, I don't care about this, but, Zhuang, don't make such a bet casually next time, sooner or later you will suffer" In the end, McHale could only sigh and leave Zhuang Fei's office.

Seeing McHale leave, Zhuang Fei's face, which was originally smiling, suddenly became gloomy.

"Maybe you don't have to wait for the future, I'm afraid I'll suffer a loss this time," Zhuang Fei couldn't help but sigh and muttered to himself.

Just when he said that sentence at the press conference, he received a message from the dynasty system, he successfully triggered a side quest, Zhuang Fei loves and hates side quests, the rewards of this kind of quest are good, but the difficulty of completing them is also great, and this kind of quest will cause

All kinds of influences, such as Sloan's killing mission last season, almost made the Timberwolves unrecoverable, and this time the mission was triggered so early that Zhuang Fei was also very worried.

Mission Name: Knicks' Challenge (Intermediate)

Mission Level: B+

Mission Description: For Coach Z's contempt, New York Knicks star Patrick Brown. Ewing and Alan Houston felt extremely resentful, so they prompted the Knicks to challenge (intermediate) during the mission Knicks star Patrick Brown. Ewing will recover from the injury and will be in the form of a demon, and Alan Houston's state during the mission is also a demon, and the mission requirements will see that Jermaine O'Neal's scores, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals combined to surpass Patrick's. Ewing, Alan Houston scored less than 10 points, and both requirements had to be completed at the same time.

Reward: Unknown, Reward: Unknown.

This is a B+-level task, so it's not a top-level task, but seeing the state of gorilla and Alan Houston into the devil, Zhuang Fei is a little worried, the state of the players is divided into: sluggish, average, excellent, four levels of demons, if you reach the level of demons, that is, God blocks and kills God and Buddha, it must be able to play at a super level, Pierce had a state of enchantment when facing the Nuggets last season, and Pierce was just an A-level player at that time, But in that game, he almost played no less than the strength of A-level players, and may even be close to A+ players, so now Zhuang Fei is so worried. It's not an easy task. It is even very likely to fail, in the face of players of this level, they brush up the data, and no one can stop them. …,

"It's really difficult, it seems that you still have to be careful in the future" Zhuang Fei finally sighed again

On November 6th, the 20,000-capacity target center was full, and today was the first home game of the season for the Timberwolves, and the opponent of the Timberwolves was the Kings, which was a back-to-back game for both teams.

Zhuang Fei still attaches great importance to this game, although the king almost lost in the last game, but the strength is still very strong, if the Timberwolves players are in a slump or slack, they are likely to be defeated by the king, plus this is the first home game of the season, so it is necessary to win.

The process of this game is according to Zhuang Fei's prediction, the Timberwolves used the home court advantage to play momentum at the beginning, and quickly suppressed the Kings, in the face of the Timberwolves' defense, Adelman made adjustments in this game, that is, let Divac and Webb go to the inside to score more, let Webb and Divac contain the Timberwolves' two mobile interior lines, and then let McBiby attack more, which can indeed attract the attention of the Timberwolves' two interior lines and then create opportunities for the offense of the other players of the Kings, It can be said that it is a very good combination of internal and external tactics, but it makes Adelman abandon the Princeton system. In the end, the Kings still lost the game, 101-114, and the Kings, who gave up their characteristics, only lasted for three quarters, and collapsed in the fourth quarter.

The Timberwolves are on a two-game winning streak with a home win over the Kings, and their next opponent is the Knicks five days later. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
