For Zhuang Fei, he never thought of succeeding as Jordan, and when he left basketball and left the court, he would still have that kind of performance, and in the same way, when Zhuang Fei thought of his future, he also had some expectations, and I don't know if he will be like Jordan when he leaves basketball in the future.

Of course, a little better for Zhuang Fei is that he is a basketball head coach, unless it is physical reasons or other irresistible factors, Zhuang Fei will never leave like Jordan as long as he wants, unless one day, when Zhuang Fei loses his passion for the sport and loses his goal, maybe at that time, even if he leaves, Zhuang Fei thinks that he should not be as sad as Jordan, Jordan's performance last night can make Zhuang Fei feel a little emotional, Maybe it should be the same for other players, but at this time, the league's regular season did not give Zhuang Fei too many opportunities to sigh.

The three-day All-Star break has always been a watershed moment for the league, and the half season before this three-day holiday is the time when all the teams in the league set the tone, and it is also the time to lay down who is the strong team and who is the weak team, and when the All-Star Game is over, it is time for the league's teams to begin to challenge their position, such as the strong teams in the playoffs who want to get a better ranking and a higher position, they need to make a final effort.

And for the weak team, if they still have ambitions. Then they can also go to the last try to challenge the playoff position and try to challenge the position of the strong team, of course, if there is no ambition, even if it is a brush pick, it will need to compete with many teams, in this case, when the NBA enters the second half of the All-Star Game, the atmosphere of the league is completely different. At least for most teams, this is the time for them to make a final effort or give 200 percent of their strength, and often because of the increased horsepower of each team, the league enters the second half of the schedule. Often, the win-loss gap between the teams is getting smaller, and in this case, the frequency of the league's upsets is not at all less than the half-month before the All-Star break.

Of course, for Zhuang Fei, before they started the second half of the schedule, after the All-Star ended, because of the emergence of Zhuang Fei's new system in the All-Star Game that Zhuang Fei named the Terminator Tactics or Jordan Tactics, now all the major basketball professional magazines or media in the United States have begun to focus on the Celtics, it can be said that Zhuang Fei lost to the Lakers twice this season. consciously let his team move forward in a low-key manner, at least hiding under the aura of the Lakers. But obviously, this is not possible now.

Just like when Zhuang Fei came up with the No. 5 tactic, when that tactic appeared, the Celtics were also the focus of the United States, and even the head coach of the United States, whether it was the NBA or the NCAA, came to the scene to watch the Celtics' game almost every game, of course, compared with that time, the impact now is not much more, after all, this is what happened at Jordan's All-Star retirement game, and the attention of this game is also extremely high. And because of this, when Zhuang Fei was still in Los Angeles, a large number of California college head coaches or other college head coaches from neighboring state capitals all flocked to Zhuang Fei.

In fact, the current point in time happens to be the end of the NCAA regular season in the United States, and there is still a period of time before the Crazy March, so at this time, the university is also quite idle, and because of this, Zhuang Fei may be more blind than the All-Star after the All-Star ends, or as John Wooden often says, when Zhuang Fei's status in the American basketball world rises, he can't hide with some things, maybe in a few years, just like John Wooden now, There will be a large number of coaches in the United States who claim to be the protégés of Coach Z. Of course, although there are a lot of people who come to the door, these people do not intend to affect Zhuang Fei's regular season, so this also makes Zhuang Fei feel a little better. It's just that no matter how good it feels, for Zhuang Fei, this is not what Zhuang Fei wants to see.

February 17, 2004, Los Angeles, Staples Arena, this is the first game of the Boston Celtics after the All-Star, and the opponent of the Celtics in this game is the Los Angeles Clippers, in this game Zhuang Fei did not play on his team several players who participated in the All-Star, in fact, from the beginning of the season Zhuang Fei has formulated a rotation policy, at that time Zhuang Fei was more considering these people to participate in the summer national team games, the state came out early, If you can't chase it, maybe these people will be a little weak in the future.

After using rotation for most of the season, the Boston Celtics are also accustomed to Zhuang Fei's rotation policy, and this game with the Clippers is also the return battle of former Clippers star James Posey, so this game Zhuang Fei is centered on James Posey, and the starting lineup is also sent to Haslem, Birdman Anderson, Kirilenko and James Posey and Jackson, this is a very good defensive starting lineup, and it is also Zhuang Fei's lineup that tries to make Kirilenko more involved in the offense. For the Boston Celtics, although Zhuang Fei did not go to Kirilenko now, he handed over all the affairs of this Russian to Green.

But if this guy is still in the team and is unwilling to take responsibility, then Zhuang Fei is really ready to knock this Russian young man, of course, for the Clippers, a team that is almost at the bottom of the West, although this game is an away game, although it is an all-role player, but even so, under the leadership of James Posey, who returned to his old club, the team still defeated the Clippers on the road, and the final score of this game was 99-86.

The Boston Celtics' defense played quite well in this game, the Clippers except for their boss Brand who scored 28 points and 13 rebounds, and the others only needed Hinrich to score a double-double, and the Boston Celtics side except for James Posey scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, the most points were actually the second team's Korver, the three-point shooter integrated into the team quickly this season, and in this game the shooter also scored 18 points, shooting 6 of 8 three-pointers, As for Kirilenko, he still scored 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting in this game, and the desire to attack is still insufficient.

As far as the current Boston Celtics' trip to the Pacific Ocean is concerned, the Clippers have never been the opponent that Zhuang Fei should consider, Zhuang Fei's real opponent is only the king of the second game, this team lost Webb at the beginning of the season, which makes the team's record at the beginning of the season can be said to be outrageous, and even has been almost recognized by many expert media as saying goodbye to the playoffs, but for the king, who has been a quasi-king team in the West in the past few seasons, such an ending is naturally impossible to accept safely, especially in the first half of the All-Star season, Webb's comeback also gave the team the capital to impact the playoffs.

And in fact, the current king, except for last season's Divac retirement because of Duncan's humiliation, the personnel of the other kings have not changed, although this team failed to get Brad Miller in the summer, but the strength of this team is also completely enough to enter the playoffs, but what is a little surprising is that this team did not show the strong rise as everyone expected, and on the contrary, this team actually made a soap opera like the Lakers last season, Webber, who returned from injury, suffered the embarrassment of O'Neal with the Lakers last season, and the league's top power forward lost his king scepter, which was also taken by Peja, of course.

For this king, they don't have the same unity as they did in the past few seasons, and Webber can't stop his former little brother Peja, and in fact, Peja, who averaged 25.6 points per game this season, shot a terrifying 49% from three-point range, and shot 91% from the free throw line is enough to get the position he wants on any team, after all, this data is the first person since Bird to contribute more than 25 points per game, shooting at 49%, 40% and 90% The above players, although it is a little difficult for Peja to enter the 180 club this year, is not hopeless, in this case he also has enough capital to compete with Webb, and in fact, the current Kings management is also in the same dilemma as the Lakers last season.

Of course, although this team did not improve by leaps and bounds as expected, it is also steadily marching towards the playoffs, and these two people are also likely to temporarily throw away the unhappiness like last season's Ao Fat and Kobe Bryant to bring the team into the playoffs first, so Zhuang Fei is also extremely cautious in this game with the King, you must know that the King defeated the Celtics on the road this season, so Zhuang Fei also sent a full main lineup that has been rested for a day in this game.

On February 19, 2004, Sacramento, the Boston Celtics challenged the Kings away, and when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the scoreboard showed that the score was 118-104, and the Boston Celtics defeated the Kings by 14 points, and the victory of the Boston Celtics in this game was also avenged by the home loss to this team, and the defeat of this game is likely to lead to the aggravation of the conflict of the king. If this team doesn't make the playoffs this year or has bad insurance after making the playoffs, then it's really time for this team to disassemble and rebuild. (To be continued.) )
