Chapter 51: Run-and-Bomb Tactics

"Sam, did you read this newspaper, that Chinese actually gave a player who has never played in a professional league a 3-year 5 million contract" Sam Mitchell's home, Anthony Peeler said dissatisfiedly with a newspaper.

Anthony Peeler, the No. 15 pick in '92, came to the Timberwolves last season and quickly became a regular for the Timberwolves, playing only 30 regular season games for the Timberwolves last season due to injury. Averaging 13 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, the Timberwolves were able to make the score 2-3 in the playoffs last season against the SuperSonics led by Payton and Venebeck, and he was one of the most important contributors, averaging 16.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in that series.

Originally, he was very dissatisfied with Zhuang Fei's abandonment of Marbury, and coupled with Zhuang Fei's contracts for Stephen Jackson and Nash, he was even more dissatisfied.

"Sam, you should be familiar with that Canadian, how we bullied him last season, a player who has such a bad defense shoots well, but do you think it's worth 5 million? How much do we get paid? Anthony Piller finally got to the point.

Sam Mitchell came when the Timberwolves were founded in '89, and he was the oldest player on the team after Terry Porter left, so the Timberwolves all looked up to him.

"Sam, I think Anthony said it right, the Timberwolves can't go on like this, let's have a showdown with the boss, this team has a bright future, but now it has been torn apart by that Chinese, if it goes on like this, will our Timberwolves be at the bottom again?" Chris Kyle chimed in.

Sam Mitchell is thinking, he has a certain say in the Timberwolves, but I'm afraid he can't shake Zhuang Fei's position, if he really forces the palace, I'm afraid it will make this already chaotic Timberwolves even more chaotic, which he absolutely doesn't want to see, he loves the Timberwolves.

Sam Mitchell sighed, shook his head and looked at several other players, and then said: "I don't like his behavior either, like you, I also think that our team will struggle this season, and it is very possible to be at the bottom, but I hope you don't act rashly now, give that Chinese a little time for him to prove his strength"

"Now we're very weak after these trades and the loss of a few key players, so we can't mess around now, you know?"

After saying that, Sam Mitchell stood up and patted Anthony Piller on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Anthony, I know you are unhappy with Kevin, but I hope you can put aside these preconceptions for the sake of this season"

Zhuang Fei knew that some of the old players in the team were very dissatisfied with him, and he knew very well that even when the team was training, some of the old players from last season got together and ignored Nash and other newcomers, and even Garnett was excluded by them.

But Zhuang Fei didn't see it, the training was still training, because Zhuang Fei had instructed these players to keep training when he was suspended, so the physical fitness and condition of these players were good, which also saved Zhuang Fei a lot of trouble, and he also jumped directly from physical reserves to tactical training.

From 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., and then from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., for eight hours a day, Zhuang Fei has been instilling in these players the tactical idea of running and shooting.

If these players can hold back for a day or two, but if they keep training like this, even those who are patient will feel bored. Except for Nash, everyone else is getting bored because everyone else is running and cutting except for Nash who is in possession, and all of them revolve around Nash.

Both veteran and new players are tormented by the single training of D'Antoni and Zhuang Fei, and even Zhuang Fei's diehard Stephen Jackson often can't mention the god of Jīng during training.

Minnesota winters are a bit cold, Zhuang Fei will get up at 6 o'clock every day and go to the team's training gym at 7 o'clock, and he has always been the first person in the team to come to the training gym.

However, sometimes, as soon as Zhuang Fei comes in on the front foot, D'Antoni will come immediately, the two have a very tacit understanding, and now the entire Zhuang Fei's coaching staff is also responsible for the team's training, and Stephen Green is not useful for the time being.

"What, you're still worried about the condition of the players?" The two chatted in the training hall, the players have not arrived yet, Zhuang Fei saw D'Antoni frowning, and said with a smile.

"Yes, Zhuang, you say that we are not too eager for quick success" Run and bomb tactics are not a complex tactic, running is running and speed, boom is shooting, running is mainly handed over to Nash to control, boom is a little difficult, although run and bomb tactics encourage players to shoot quickly, but it is not to say that you can shoot casually, jīng essence is to find the best shooting opportunities and create the best shooting opportunities in the shortest possible time, which is quite not easy, which requires players to have good off-ball running and blocking ability, Although the requirements are not as high as the triangle attack, the speed and frequency are much faster. It's a challenge for players like the Timberwolves who have never played this tactic before.

It's even tougher when the team doesn't have enough training time.

That's why Zhuang Fei will formulate such a devilish single training model.

Seeing that the players were becoming more and more impatient and impatient, D'Antoni also blamed himself a little.

"Mike, how far do you think these players can go before the Feb. 5 game against the Nuggets?"

D'Antoni pondered for a moment and then said worriedly: "Maybe only 30% of what I wanted"

"So can 30% allow the Timberwolves to beat the Nuggets," Zhuang Fei asked again.

"There should be no problem in beating the Nuggets, after all, the Nuggets are not strong, but it is difficult to be competitive in the NBA, you know that this year's games are extremely intensive, and there is no systematic training opportunity during the game, so this 30% is not enough for us to enter the playoffs" D'Antoni looked at Zhuang Fei seriously, wanting to see something from Zhuang Fei's face, but what disappointed him was that Zhuang Fei did not have any mood swings, as if he had predicted his answer.

At half past seven, the players arrived one after another, and the new day's training continued to begin, to the surprise of these players, today's training did not have to run endlessly, Zhuang Fei let them play a confrontation game, and wanted to test their results.

"Nash and Garnett's combination is really beautiful, and his small range of blocking and pick-and-roll combinations is very threatening" D'Antoni exclaimed on the sidelines, and as soon as his words fell, Nash assisted Garnett in the air relay again.

Is this the realm of passing where people follow the ball? Zhuang Fei looked at Nash's back and thought about it, but at this time, Nash was not as free as in later generations, although he could pass such a ball, but there were many mistakes, and sometimes the timing was not right.

"But apart from Garnett, Nash and Pierce, Stephen Jackson has had very limited cooperation, and these guys don't have a tacit understanding," D'Antoni continued. Zhuang Fei also nodded in agreement. Pierce and Jackson both need the ball, but Nash also needs the ball, which is a conflict, so it is urgent for Pierce and Jackson to practice without the ball as soon as possible.

Basketball is not a game of stacking stars, otherwise the dream team will not lose, and even more so in the NBA, where the NBA teams are similar in strength, in this case, it is to see who can integrate the players more successfully so that the players can play a greater role.

After the training, Zhuang Fei returned to his home, came to his room, and opened the dynasty system, the dynasty system has long since changed, Zhuang Fei is now level 20, and the system has now added a system store.

Zhuang Fei opened the shop, then skipped the equipment and potions, and came to the third shop, the scroll shop, and soon Zhuang Fei found one among the hundreds of scrolls.

Team run-in training acceleration reels

Item description: Using this item, the host team's run-in training experience is doubled for one month.

However, seeing the price under this scroll, Zhuang Fei once again retreated, this is a full 1500 Dynasty points, and Zhuang Fei now only has a total of 14500 Dynasty Points. And it's hard to judge how effective this thing is. He wouldn't mind spending those dynasty points if it really helped the players to train their run-and-gun tactics, but what if it didn't work? That's not a loss.

Judging from the description, it is about the run-in of the team, and the run-in is close to the team's cooperation in a sense, and there is also a run-in in the strength of the team.

To buy or not to buy? In the end, Zhuang Fei gritted his teeth and bought one.
