Chapter 297: The Biggest Deal in History

Zhuang Fei, Riley, and Mo Ning all stayed in the hospital and did not participate in the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, but the other members of the American team participated, and they were also extremely worried about Mo Ning's physical condition, but Zhuang Fei and Riley immediately notified these people after getting the doctor's affirmative reply, and also let them relax, of course, for such an American team player, there is no burden in their hearts plus they are young people, so they played high at the closing ceremony, which made Zhuang Fei and the other three people in the hospital extremely envious.

Of course, the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games is over, for Zhuang Fei, his fate with the American team will come to an end, and he will no longer be the head coach of the American team, unless the American team itself has a big rout like Zhuang Fei's previous life in the world, otherwise Zhuang Fei has no possibility of going out of the mountain, in fact, for the American team, the next Olympic Games is led by Pat Riley, and Larry Brown is no worse than Pat Riley in terms of ability, but Pat Riley is definitely stronger than Larry Brown with the national team, Zhuang Fei didn't believe that the U.S. team would have such a collapse in the end, even a god-like Argentina would be difficult to do.

When the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games was over, Zhuang Fei and the players of the U.S. team took the special plane of the U.S. Olympic team back to China, and for this Olympic gold medal team, they were welcomed unprecedentedly, and the special plane of the U.S. Olympic team landed directly in Washington, the capital of the United States, and then under the guidance of the White House staff, these people went directly to the White House.

Zhuang Fei is no stranger to the White House, when the Timberwolves won this year's NBA championship, the current owner of the White House, Clinton, personally called him to congratulate him, and Zhuang Fei also took the Timberwolves to the White House. That time, the Timberwolves also had lunch with the owner of the White House, and Zhuang Fei also gave Clinton a No. 00 jersey signed by himself.

"Zhuang, how was the hug from Mr. President just now?" Pat Riley said to Zhuang Fei with some excitement, and at this time, Zhuang Fei even saw that his face was more excited than himself.

"Hehe, Zhuang. Now I'm an Olympic champion, I'm just an assistant coach, but I'm still an Olympic champion. Alonzo is also an Olympic champion, so I decided to make an Olympic champion flag to hang over the Heat's arena," Pat Riley seemed to see Zhuang Fei's puzzled eyes, but he didn't care at all.

"Zhuang. You know, the Olympics may mean little to you young people, maybe it's just a sporting event, but it's so important to us old guys, and I bet Phil Jackson must be jealous of me at home right now, and I'm so happy to think of his haughty look last season and see him the way he is now."

Pat Riley was very excited, but Zhuang Fei seemed to understand, and Zhuang Fei also knew that now Phil Jackson and Jerry Sloan were hated to death. Tang Shuai will definitely regret it now, thinking of this, Zhuang Fei felt a great sense of pride in his heart, he has now actually done what these top coaches in his previous life did not do.

"Maybe we Timberwolves should also hang a flag, we have three Olympic gold medals," Zhuang Fei joked with a smile at the end.

The meeting was not very long, after all, the U.S. delegation was not just a basketball team. Unlike China's leaders, who only meet with champions or medal winners, American leaders must treat everyone equally, which is also the hat of 'democracy' on the country's head, so the American basketball team shook hands with Mr. President, and then hugged each other before Zhuang Fei left the White House with the team. …,

The U.S. team that left the White House was also disbanded on the spot, and Zhuang Fei himself returned to the Timberwolves with his two disciples. This Olympics is really big for Zhuang Fei, such as the relationship with this group of players, first exclude the descendants who belong to Zhuang Fei, even Iverson, who has been very uninterested in Zhuang Fei before, has changed a lot of feelings about Zhuang Fei after this Olympic Games, Zhuang Fei can clearly feel a trace of respect in this lone hero, and there is Arenas, which is also a thorn, although Zhuang Fei is very famous in the NCAA, but for him it is just a legend, But after this Olympics, this NCAA thorn is now completely subordinated to Zhuang Fei, even Zhuang Fei ordered him not to fight with Kobe, this kid also glared at Kobe Bryant fiercely and then obeyed Zhuang Fei's order, as for the Heat team's Morning and Pat Riley, Zhuang Fei and Riley were originally friends, but most of the time they were friends in basketball, but after this Mourning incident, this god really regarded Zhuang Fei, who had been with them through thick and thin, as a real best friend.

Of course, Zhuang Fei himself sees more changes in the relationship between himself and the people around him, which is also inevitable, he is unlikely to pay attention to the opinions of some people in the outside world about him, Zhuang Fei's influence was only in the United States before, but after this Olympic journey, the NBA and NCAA champion coach is completely internationally renowned, at least the major mainstream newspapers and major news media in Europe are reporting on this legendary coach who is less than 30 years old.

According to USA Today in its own newspaper, it is.

"Coach Z has successfully conquered the world again after conquering the NCAA and the NBA"

Of course, what Zhuang Fei didn't expect was that the dream team he led was actually considered by many world authoritative media to be the fastest basketball in history, and it was also the most powerful basketball team in history. So with the end of the Olympic Games, Mengyi and Mengsi fought for a result internationally, and Mengsi completely suppressed Mengyi, but the supporters on both sides of the United States are still very anxious. According to them, it is.

"The Dream Team Four is domineering, and the Dream Team is the king, the domineering is very fierce but it may not be stronger than the king"

Zhuang Fei is not too interested in these things, he is very interested in some transfers in the NBA during the Olympics, and for the Timberwolves, they will not have many opponents next season, the Lakers in the West, the Trail Blazers. Spurs and Jazz, Pacers in the East, Knicks and Heat.

The team that was most active during this summer's trade period was naturally the Magic Pistons. The two teams argued for a long time, and finally the Magic used most of the team to invite Hill from the Pistons, but now Hill is not a complete body, but an injured soldier. The league's small forward was injured last season, which caused him to deteriorate rapidly, and it can be said that he is on the verge of collapse, but looking at the current situation, the Magic is very optimistic that the league's top superstar can recover.

Of course, in addition to Grant Hill, the departure and stay of Patrick Ewing, another superstar in the league, is also particularly interesting, this is a big deal that can affect the league pattern, of course, Ewing's current strength is naturally impossible to affect the so-called alliance pattern, but the chain reaction of this deal is extremely huge, this deal involves the Knicks, the Hypersonics. The Trail Blazers and Cavaliers, Heat, Spurs and other six teams have 17 players, which directly led to the disintegration of the Trail Blazers that had a lot of glory last season. And this big deal is also the largest one involving the most teams and players in NBA history. …,

The Trail Blazers' players last season were too rebellious to accompany them, and they were all All-Star calibre. There are also several quasi-All-Star level players sitting on the bench, and there are 8 players with more than 80+ ability on the team, it is a miracle that such a team can last for a season, they are not a young team like the Timberwolves, it doesn't matter if the players play on the bench, the group of Trail Blazers are star players who have been in the league for many years. In addition, there is no one in the team who can calm the court, the team's head coach Dunleavy and the team's boss Scott Pippen can't, Pippen is now also the Trail Blazers who experienced the failure of the Rockets last season, even if his reputation is very high, but he can't suppress the roar Tianzun, Sabonis, Stephen Smith and even Brian Grant and others, especially the team's fiasco to the Timberwolves last season made them not see any hope of winning the championship, which made the team's contradictions break out quickly, and now the team is no one within the team. No one wanted to play as a substitute, and in the end, there was no way for the Trail Blazers management to break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and they were directly ready to rebuild. This has also made all their efforts in the past few seasons in vain, which has also made the now ambitious Trail Blazers general manager Whithitt doubly, and even now the general manager has begun to regret sending O'Neal Jr. very much.

In this six-team big trade, the Trail Blazers sent Grant, who was dissatisfied with the team's ability to play on the bench, sent away Stephen Smith, who had a conflict with the team's new Bunch Wells, and then got the already poisonous Rain Man Camp from the Cavaliers, and obtained Derrick Anderson from the Spurs, it can be said that these two transactions are obviously robbed by the Trail Blazers, and in this big deal, the Heat got Grant and the Spurs got Smith, these two teams will definitely be a little stronger than last season, especially the Heat, Their interior is already extremely strong, and now with Grant, a small forward who takes care of both inside and outside, it can be said that it can make up for their outside holes, and the Spurs also recruited an All-Star level pitcher for Duncan again after Elliott's return.

Of course, the biggest big fish in this deal finally settled in the SuperSonics, the SuperSonics won the Gorilla and Lewis in a row this season, plus Gary Payton and others that the team already had, it can be said that this team was favored by almost all experts when the season did not start, at least this is a team that can enter the playoffs, and the fate of the SuperSonics for ninth place in the West for two consecutive years can also be shaken off, of course, for the Super Trailblazers, the team is still not at peace internally, and the team's contradictions are also difficult, It is also believed by many experts that this season will fall, and their position is likely to be replaced by the Spurs, and as for the Pacers and Timberwolves, who were the first in the East and West last season, and the Timberwolves, these experts in the league are not very cold, especially Larry Bird's Pacers.

The Pacers' big center Smit eventually retired, and the Pacers' offensive axis finally chose to retire from the NBA under the persuasion of Larry Bird, and it was clear that Garnett's dunk in the Finals last season hit him too hard, and the retirement of the big center is now directly causing last year's Eastern Conference champion to face tactical adjustments, both offensive and defensive adjustments. This is an extremely painful thing for any team, and now that the Pacers are completely lacking in offensive ability on the inside, how can they provide space for the two big shooters on the outside, Reggie Miller and Rose, without offensive ability on the inside? Now it is rumored that the Pacers are looking for an offensive interior line all over the world, so Larry Bird does not want to hang the team's All-Star defensive power forward Dale Davis on the cargo rack, but what disappoints Larry Bird is that he has been shouting for a long time and no team can come up with chips that satisfy him, not that Dale Davis is not attractive enough, but that Larry Bird is too demanding and can attack the interior line? And is it still an offensive interior that needs to be equal to Dale Davis? An All-Star level offensive interior is worth a lot of money right now.

Larry Bird didn't make a big move because he hit a wall everywhere, not because they didn't want to make a big move, but the Timberwolves didn't, this team seemed to be closed after the draft, everyone wanted to see how Zhuang Fei made up for the loophole of the team's two big bench bandits leaving, but what disappointed them was that Zhuang Fei didn't make any moves except for Crawford and Reed, it is obvious that Zhuang Fei thinks that Crawford and Reed can replace Lewis and Mobley, although Zhuang Fei thinks so, But these experts don't think so.

So in the latest predictions for next season, the inactive Timberwolves and Pacers are ranked second and ninth in the power rankings respectively, and it is clear that these people are not optimistic about these two teams, especially the Pacers.

However, the inactive Pacers sent a trade offer to the Timberwolves at the same time that Zhuang Fei returned to the Timberwolves. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
