"Zhuang, this is the league's latest fax to Ling" McHale handed the fax to Zhuang Fei a little helplessly, this Chinese is good, but the temper is too weird, why have nothing to choke with reporters, which head coach of the NBA dares to offend media like the New York Times? Not to mention that the head coach doesn't dare, their big boss Glenn Taylor doesn't dare, and even David Stern doesn't dare, these people can affect millions of people with a single pen.

"How much is the fine this time, I'll see, haha, Stern is too greedy, last time it was only 5,000, this time it rose to 25,000, then next time it will be 125,000 directly, next time you really have to pay attention" Zhuang Fei laughed playfully.

"Zhuang, I know that Ling is very rich, there is basically no richer head coach in the United States than Ling, but don't be like this, some things can not be solved by money, Ling represents the image and interests of the Timberwolves, they may have no way to take Ling, but they want to get the team, if they want to get our players, it is much simpler" McHale is a person who has been in the NBA for decades, and he has been explaining many things to Zhuang Fei, originally these public relations affairs were in charge of his general manager, and he could order Zhuang Fei to execute, but, In the current Timberwolves, he, the general manager, really can't control Zhuang Fei, the head coach, and he can't control all aspects.

"Okay, Kevin, I'll pay attention" Zhuang Fei looked at McHale, who was about to start preaching, and immediately stopped with a smile, if he was allowed to continue, he could talk for most of the day. Looking at McHale, who was a little unsatisfied, Zhuang Fei suddenly had a very strange idea.

"Kevin. Have you ever thought about becoming a head coach? I think it's a good fit," Zhuang Fei said, glancing at McHale.

"The manager? I? McHale looked at Zhuang Fei with some surprise, thinking that Zhuang Fei was joking, but looking at Zhuang Fei's appearance, it didn't look like a joke.

"Yes, I think you have very good conditions. Ling has been nominated for the Hall of Fame this year, I think there is no problem to enter the Hall of Fame this year, which means that Ling has enough qualifications to convince the players, and Ling's personal charm is also very good, and he is fully qualified for the work of the head coach" Zhuang Fei did not say anything about professional issues such as tactical literacy and tactical ability, the head coach of the NBA does not have to be these, and it can even be said that sometimes connections and personal charm are much more important than these things, just like McBrown of the Lakers in the future. How good is the tactical ability? If the players don't listen to him, isn't it still tragic? There is no shortage of connections and charisma McHale, and even McHale is undoubtedly the best of them, although he is not as good as Larry Bird. But it's still very good, as long as he is paired with a few assistant coaches with good ability, he has every possibility of becoming a famous coach.

"Isn't Larry Bird doing a good job with the Pacers now, so there are some things that don't need to be worried," Zhuang Fei saw McHale's concerns, after all, he had not been exposed to professional coaching courses.

Zhuang Fei's words made McHale a little moved, but in the end McHale still shook his head.

"That's right. Zhuang, last time Green should have shown all the rookie information, the overseas rookie Green has already gone to investigate, and now we have not inspected the domestic rookie. We're in the playoffs and can't invite them to tryout, so give me the list of key players. I'm going to arrange scouting. ”

Zhuang Fei almost forgot that there was still this matter, because the team had been too chaotic recently. Zhuang Fei took out the scouting report again, then looked at it, pulled out a few pages from it and handed it to McHale.

"That's all"

McHale looked at it, and left without any objections.

"Now another draft has begun" Looking at the back of McHale's departure, Zhuang Fei sighed secretly, counting that he has just been coming to the Timberwolves for a year, if it weren't for the shrinking season, I'm afraid it would be the finals now, but now it's still the division finals. The draft also came unexpectedly again.

This year, due to the shrinking schedule, the NBA's playoff schedule is also extremely tight, according to the schedule, May 29 is the first game of the Western Conference finals, May 30 is the first game in the East, except for the first four games in the middle of the two home and away games have two days of rest, the other games are only one day of rest.

It's strange to say, this season's playoffs have a lot of sweeps in the first few rounds, except for the Spurs, which played 12 games, the other three finals teams are 4-0, it can be said that the process of the game is very fast, but in the finals, this process suddenly slowed down, the Timberwolves lost the third game on their home court, and the New York Knicks also lost on their home court the next day, and the big score also became 1-2.

The New York media who had been vigorously denouncing Zhuang Fei a day ago also put down Zhuang Fei after seeing their team lose, and the great sorrow and joy of this season's New York Knicks also affected the media in New York, at the beginning of the season, New York made everyone optimistic about their prospects with a strong lineup, and after the game started, the performance of the New York Knicks made those who were optimistic about them desperate, bad start, bad process, bad end, nothing is not bad, Even they once doubted whether their team could enter the playoffs, and when they barely entered the playoffs, no one had any hope for them at this time, the Heat had a good and stable performance this year, and their coach was still familiar with Pat Riley in New York, but what disappointed these people who looked down on the Knicks again was that the Knicks not only eliminated the first in the East but also swept the fourth in the East, and for a time the East Knicks and the West Timberwolves, the two teams will meet in the finals Speech is endless, pain is pain, Although the New York media have been repeatedly slapped in the face by the Timberwolves and Knicks this season, they still firmly support the New York Knicks, and by the way, they don't forget to disgust their biggest rival on the way to the championship, the Timberwolves.

"It's just a home loss, and these people are in pain as if they were dead presidents," Zhuang Fei smiled at the New York Times, thinking about the Knicks' win over the Pacers a few days ago, when the group was clamoring to sweep the Pacers. The media in New York is so cute, Zhuang Fei casually picked up the scissors next to him and began to cut the newspaper. These contrasts in the face are reported that he has always collected, and he will slowly enjoy them at home when he is in a bad mood in the future.

Just when Zhuang Fei was thinking of a bad idea, the phone in his office suddenly remembered.

"Hey. Stephen? What's going on over there" This is Green's phone, Green has been sent overseas by Zhuang Fei not long ago.

Green was hesitant to make the call to the head coach, and he was thrilled to remember the expectant look in the head coach's eyes when he saw him off, but it was definitely not what he wanted to do now. This time, there are only 3 players on the Timberwolves' overseas expedition, Kirilenko, Ginobili, and Wang Zhizhi. Originally, the two people in front of them were going well. Especially Kirilenko was very excited after knowing that the Timberwolves were interested in him, and Green really admired Kirilenko, and the two immediately met each other, and Kirilenko was still a little afraid of the NBA. The other player, Ginobili, who is now playing in Italy, is not too smooth, Ginobili is now just gaining a foothold in Italy, although he is also looking forward to his development in the NBA, but he is not in a hurry. He's different from Kirilenko, he'll stay in Italy if he can't get a guaranteed contract in the NBA, and he's not going to gamble like Kirilenko, which means the Timberwolves need to come up with a first-round pick to pick him. Even having to promise his place also made Green a little angry. This Argentine is asking too much. In his mind, this year's first-round pick has always been reserved for Kirilenko, who is a good Argentine. At most, Mobley can only be used as a substitute. Although there was no way to deal with Ginobili, I finally got a very positive answer.

But when Green set foot on the land of Shenzhou, which he had been looking forward to for a long time, everything was different here, and he was completely trapped in it. It's like a headless fly at all.

At the beginning he found Wang Zhizhi, this Chinese player is very excited, even more excited than Kirilenko, this is not to say that no one in the NBA wants him, the Mavericks have been paying attention to him, but the head coach of the Timberwolves is a Chinese after all, Zhuang Fei's popularity in China is not low, news broadcasts can often appear in his figure, and even has been hung up with the title of "outstanding youth" and "excellent GQ team member", in China's basketball world it is even more known, so Wang Zhizhi's excitement is understandable.

The players all agreed to Green is naturally very happy, more importantly, this Wang Zhizhi does not have as many requirements as Ginobili, and the team head coach likes this Chinese very much, and being able to complete the task of the head coach naturally makes Green happy, but the good times did not last long, and soon Green was disappointed, because the team called Bayi was unwilling to release people, and then he went to the Basketball Association at the suggestion of the translator, the leadership of the Basketball Association is very happy, and now Chinese basketball has developed to a bottleneck period, They really hope that some players can enter the NBA, after all, this is good for Chinese basketball, if those Chinese players who enter the NBA can really succeed, they will also have political achievements, such as Zhuang Fei's success in the United States has promoted a large number of people, such as the principal of the amateur sports school, teachers, etc. Not only that, but they can also make these players pay a certain income, which is a very good thing, and the basketball association naturally agrees.

But when Green thought it was a success again, he found that the Basketball Association couldn't command the Bayi team at all, and the Bayi team's reasons were very upright.

"Dazhi is gone, who will call us all back? Who plays the University Games? Who plays the Asian Cup? The NBA's time is in conflict with this."

Green didn't understand these games, he didn't understand them very well, and he ended up stuck there, and he didn't know what to do.

Zhuang Fei hung up Green's phone and was a little upset, he also knew that the crooked ones in China were all participating in the NBA draft this year, and in the end Yao Ming and Daba were dissuaded.

"It's not that simple," Zhuang Fei frowned again.

Before Zhuang Fei could think of a way, the game with the Spurs also started again, and it was a big battle.
