The recent sky over Minnesota has been filled with a sense of joy and peace, even because Lewis and Mobley left, but it did not have much impact on the recent atmosphere of Minnesota city, Zhuang Fei ended his vacation, in fact, the Timberwolves players also all ended their vacations, these players plus Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves' owner Glenn Taylor have often appeared on major TV shows in Minnesota recently, and they will also appear in many prosperous areas of Minnesota.

The Timberwolves are doing a 'thank-you meeting', in the history of the NBA, there is no team that will extend the championship celebration so long, the Timberwolves have set a precedent this year, who let the Minnesota congression election begin, as one of the candidates, the team owner Glenn Taylor This is directly 'kidnapping' the team to give him publicity, in fact, Zhuang Fei is extremely unwilling to participate in such an event, but Glen Taylor still agreed in the soft grinding bubble. This is one of Glen Taylor's main purposes for investing in the team, and it is also the core interest of the Timberwolves' big owner.

Although Zhuang Fei has always disliked his style, he is still very accommodating to this big boss in terms of the core interests of both parties, and it is also because of accommodating Glenn Taylor that Zhuang Fei has not had much time to prepare for the draft, and he has become nervous again. When Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves helped Glenn Taylor get all the publicity, the time had come to June 27, 2000, and it was only two days before the June 29 of the draft. If it weren't for Zhuang Fei's resolute opposition. It is estimated that Glenn Taylor will stretch the time, and now the end of the publicity means that the Timberwolves have officially entered the summer preparation zone, and Mobley has really left the Timberwolves to go to the Raptors, and Lewis has also gone to the SuperSonics, and the two have been accompanying the team in the front to promote. Zhuang Fei is also very emotional about this, perhaps for these two people, this is their last trip as a member of the Timberwolves, when Zhuang Fei announced the official dissolution of the team and the official holiday of the players, Zhuang Fei can clearly see the deep loss and reluctance in the eyes of these two players.

For Zhuang Fei, this summer has been really annoying. The Timberwolves' championship made the team unprepared for a lot of things, and finally got out of Glenn Taylor, Zhuang Fei immediately received a call from the crew of the movie "Sweet Life", because this year's Timberwolves won the championship and Zhuang Fei is going to lead the American team to the Olympic Games, so Zhuang Fei has no time to film all summer, and this Sweet Life must be released on January 1, 2001, this movie is Coca-Cola's New Century propaganda film. It can be said that it is impossible to delay because of Zhuang Fei's matter, and now there is less than half a year left before the release date, in the United States, any movie released needs to be done 2 months before the release date, and at this time, Sweet Life was only six or seven percent filmed. Even post-production has not started yet, which means that Zhuang Fei must now spare a lot of time to complete his last three or four percent of the scenes. It's just that from now on, it seems that we can only wait until the end of the Olympics.

"Zhuang, although I am also a fan of the Timberwolves, but I really hope that the Timberwolves will be out in the first round this year" The director of Dolce Vita, Joe Petka, complained very helplessly on the phone, Patka once cooperated with Jordan to shoot a slam dunk in the air, this is a very good basketball director, but compared to Jordan. Zhuang Fei made him even more helpless, in fact, he admired Zhuang Fei very much, Zhuang Fei's acting skills and learning ability were much better than Jordan's. It's just that this basketball coach is actually busier than Jordan, the first person in basketball, he doesn't want Zhuang Fei to affect his shooting plan, obviously because Zhuang Fei's invincible performance this year has disrupted his plan, of course, he said that he hoped that Zhuang Fei would be eliminated in the first round, and he naturally said that he was angry with Zhuang Fei, and he had a good relationship with Zhuang Fei, and he also came to Minnesota to watch the game in the finals. Even the last game in Indianapolis he went. So for the director's complaints, Zhuang Fei really has no choice. I can only keep apologizing. …,

"That's right, Zhuang. The U.S. team is going to assemble on July 2 this year," Patka counted Zhuang Fei on the other end of the phone and asked a question that made Zhuang Fei very confused.

"Yes, it's decided to train in Virginia, and then prepare to play a U.S. Challenger Cup game with the NCAA University United" Zhuang Fei said after a little stunned, the U.S. team's training camp this year is a bit long, this year's Sydney Olympics is starting on September 15, the U.S. team will have two training camps, the first is July 2, and then July 15 ends, this section is mainly for the U.S. team to prepare for the NCAA United team's game, and then July 15 holiday after August 25 to gather again, This time the gathering was to prepare for the Sydney Olympics, and there was more than one month left in between.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Fei knew what the director had in mind, and it was obvious that the director hoped that Zhuang Fei would continue to shoot his films during this period, and not go to Los Angeles in October after the Olympics. The time can also be more sufficient. Zhuang Fei is right, this director does have this plan, in fact, although Zhuang Fei has no itinerary in the middle of the month, but according to the contract of the American selection committee, Zhuang Fei's time this month still belongs to the American team, Zhuang Fei needs to study other international teams during this period, and also needs to study the playing style of international teams, but whether it is Chuck Daley, the head coach of the Dream One team, or Wilkens, the head coach of the Dream Three team, they did not go abroad to inspect or study the opponent during this time, because there is no need, The American team can sweep everything, so during this period, Zhuang Fei is also free to arrange these times, although Zhuang Fei guessed that the director would let him give him more than a month, but the next director's request made Zhuang Fei a little surprised.

"You're saying I'm going to change the location of the U.S. team's training from Virginia to Los Angeles?" Zhuang Fei asked stunned.

"yes, now I want all of these U.S. players to make cameos in my movies, considering that Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley were away from home last time when they were in the air. And I think I should change the script a little, I'm going to change your background information to Carter's college classmates, who were star players on the same level as Carter in college, which will be more engaging and inspirational, and now Carter has become an NBA superstar. Another player on Carter's level became a coach, and the last scene where Carter leads the U.S. team to watch the high school league finals you coach will push the whole movie to "

Zhuang Fei was speechless about the director's imagination, he was Carter's teacher, but now he has become Carter's classmate, but it is clear that Zhuang Fei also admits that such a script change will make the movie look more tense.

"Zhuang. I need your help," Mr. Director thought it was very difficult to see Zhuang Fei silent.

"Well, okay, I agreed to this," Zhuang Fei said with a final sigh.

"Great, I'm waiting for you in Los Angeles," Mr. Director said excitedly and hung up the phone with Zhuang Fei.

Zhuang Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head, this director is very good to him, and because he has not had time, he has delayed the progress of the movie a lot, Zhuang Fei feels sorry for this crew in his heart. Although the training location of the American team was determined by the American selection committee, it is not impossible for Zhuang Fei to change it, and with his current prestige, the American selection committee will still give this face.

"Hey, it's all a debt of human affection" Zhuang Fei sighed helplessly, although in the United States this kind of thing is not as serious as in China. But it still exists. There is no shortage of such things as favors and connections. …,

Just when Zhuang Fei was thinking about this in his office, the phone rang again, and the person who called Zhuang Fei this time was unexpected.

"Mike, is there anything wrong" Zhuang Fei was stunned and asked, this is the basketball god Jordan, Jordan has not seen anyone since he congratulated Zhuang Fei on the night of the championship, and it is said that this aunt is ready to buy other teams after the failure to buy the Timberwolves. These are just the news that has broken recently. Zhuang Fei didn't know too much, but there was a fact that this great god had been very busy recently, what was he calling for at this time?

Do you want to go with him to play. Zhuang Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head, there was no need for Zhuang Fei to guess, and soon the answer came out.

"You're saying you've become a small owner of the Wizards, and now you're the general manager of the team? And what about the Wasp? Zhuang Fei was dumbfounded after hearing the excited Jordan on the other end of the phone.

Jordan became the general manager of the Wizards, which is not surprising at all as a time-traveler, except that Jordan's goal had never been heard of before was the Wizards. The god has been buying the Timberwolves, even if the acquisition of the Timberwolves has failed. It has also been rumored that this god will buy the Hornets who have been in a bad situation recently, the Hornets are a team in North Carolina, and they have two god-like characters in North Carolina, in addition to Zhuang Fei, the other one is Jordan, obviously the league also hopes that Jordan can save the Hornets, it can be said that the recent news about Jordan's acquisition of the Hornets has a nose and eyes, Zhuang Fei also thinks so, and even Zhuang Fei thinks that Jordan will come over and ask himself to coach after acquiring the Hornets, but in the end he didn't expect that he still went to the Wizards according to the inertia of history.

"The wasp boss doesn't want to sell it, I see" Zhuang Fei shook his head secretly, the wasp is the same as the timberwolves. The boss is reluctant to sell, while the Wizards are the boss who directly welcomes Jordan half-sell and half-give.

"Mike, I really don't have any plans to go to the Wizards for the time being, if I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to cooperate with you" In fact, Jordan's invitation was expected by Zhuang Fei, it is obvious that this great god just wants him to join forces in the past, and the loss of this great god is not obvious after Zhuang Fei refused, the goal of this great god is not for Zhuang Fei, but for the players of the Timberwolves.

Jordan's target this time is Paul Pierce, one of the Timberwolves' leading players.

The Wizards have been rebuilding with Juwan Howard as the core after Webber's departure, and even gave the power forward a contract worth 100 million, which is the first 100 million yuan contract in NBA history, but it is clear that Jordan will never build a team with such a non-dominant interior as the core after he enters the ownership, and he hopes to bring in ' Jordan II' Pierce, and then copy the Bulls dynasty, although Juwan Howard's performance last season was not very good, but as an inside lineman, his strength is no problem, and now there is also a lot of trade value, so Jordan's offer is Howard for Pierce plus Xiaoao, in fact, at this stage this offer is reasonable, but it is obvious that Zhuang Fei, who knows Howard's development trajectory, will naturally not use the team's two main forces to exchange for such an obviously exaggerated insider, let alone exchange Pierce and Xiaoao, even if he is a single Xiaoao Zhuang Fei is unwilling。

Zhuang Fei directly rejected Jordan this time, it is obvious that this time the great god is extremely disappointed, it is obvious that the great god likes Pierce very much, but after hanging up Jordan, Zhuang Fei fell into deep thought.

Since the departure of Lewis and Mobley, it is obvious that the Timberwolves are about to become a supermarket for players from other teams in the league, in fact, before Jordan, many teams have made offers to all players of the Timberwolves except Garnett, but they were rejected by Zhuang Fei one by one. Coach Z is a well-known iron rooster, and now after the success of the Raptors and SuperSonics poaching, coupled with the Timberwolves' salary space problem, the rest of the league is also ready to move, which is definitely not what Zhuang Fei wants to see, Zhuang Fei absolutely believes that Jordan will not be the last.

"You don't want to change my player too, do you?"

Jordan's phone just hung up, and then the one that had just hung up rang again. This is Heat head coach Pat Riley, and it is clear that Zhuang Fei has classified Pat Riley as Jordan.

In fact, Pat Riley is very depressed, he has already made a morning call this morning, but the phone in Zhuang Fei's office has been busy, you must know that tomorrow is the draft meeting, now he is in a hurry, recently has been anxious for the team's draft picks, this year's Heat signing is 24, and Pat Riley hopes to get a lottery area to sign, although this year is just a draft garbage year, but after the failure of the first two seasons Pat Riley is ready to transform the team's outside line.

Now the Heat is completely tofu scum in addition to being strong on the inside, and now he urgently needs a high-pick signing, and after hitting a wall everywhere, Pat Riley has his eyes on Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves have two lottery picks this year, and it would be nice if they could 'borrow' one.
