Chapter 178: A+ Missions and Leaders
Task? Another mission? When Zhuang Fei opened the dynasty system and saw the task description, he kept smiling bitterly again, the name of this mission is very similar to the challenge of the previous mission, Knicks's challenge, which is also a challenge task, but the name of the mission is 'Phil Jackson's Challenge'.
Zhuang Fei knows that since Phil Jackson came to the Lakers, he has been chasing after him, Zhuang Fei usually doesn't care too much, or doesn't pay attention to it at all, the more Zhuang Fei is like this, the more Phil Jackson chases after him, in fact, Jackson can't let go if he wants to, after all, Zhuang Fei has beaten him to win the best head coach in the United States for three consecutive years, after all, Zhuang Fei was once the first choice of the Lakers, and what makes Phil Jackson even more embarrassed is that since he came to the Lakers, the team's general manager Jerry West has been sarcastically sarcastic about him, It can be said that if there is a chance, he is definitely the one who wants to defeat Zhuang Fei the most. He needs to reinvent his name. Now the opportunity is in front of us, and the not far away All-Star Game is an opportunity, and what the two need to compete for now is the position of All-Star head coach.
On the first day after the Timberwolves and Jazz game, the league announced that the All-Star voting began, so at the same time, Zhuang Fei received the task.
Mission Name: Phil Jackson's Challenge Mission Level: A+ Level Mission Description: Phil Jackson's strong resentment triggers this mission, the host needs to rank first before the All-Star announcement of the head coach to obtain the position of All-Star head coach, from the date of the mission release This mission is officially opened, during the mission the host can not use any special items except equipment and scrolls, and the status level of all players during the mission of the Los Angeles Lakers is increased by one level.
Task Reward: Unknown, Task Punishment: Unknown "Nima's status level is increased by one level" Zhuang Fei scolded at the end, the restriction that he can't use any special items during that mission Zhuang Fei doesn't care, after all, he doesn't have any special items that can be used now, Abdul-Jabbar Star Card, Lucky Potion, Injury Recovery Potion, Marlon's Heart. He doesn't plan to use these special items in the regular season now, so Zhuang Fei is not dissatisfied with this restriction, but when he saw that he finally added one level to the Lakers' state level during the mission, Zhuang Fei was completely speechless.
The player state is four levels, sluggish, average, high, and enchanted. The average player is in average form 50 percent of the time, and 20 percent of the time is high. The same 25% of the time will be sluggish, and less than 5% of the time the player's state will be in the devil, although the dynasty system did not say so clearly, but Zhuang Fei counted it in college. Take Carter as an example, 100 games Carter will only appear in the state of 5 times, if the state level is +1, then this means that the number of times the player will be in the state of the devil will reach 25 times in 100 games, a full 5 times, what is even more unacceptable is that in the future all players of the Lakers will be 75% of the time high, and there is no sluggishness.
It's a bug, but it's a stat for the whole team. Just imagine that such a Laker basically will not have the possibility of an upset, even if it is a strong dialogue Lakers, it is difficult to lose. If it continues like this, the Lakers may even break the Bulls' winning record, which forces Zhuang Fei and his Timberwolves not to miss a little, and they need to try to avoid defeat in every game.
"Now the Lakers are all Nima, and it's a Super Saiyan," Zhuang Fei said helplessly with a wry smile.
On November 18, Zhuang Fei, who had come to Vancouver with the whole team, watched a game with his assistant coach that made him very sadistic. The Lakers hosted the Nuggets, and the result of this game was nothing short of miserable, with the Nuggets barely putting up any resistance on the road.
"Coach, is this really the Lakers?" At halftime, Green said as he looked at the TV screen with a look of horror.
"Hmm. Maybe" Zhuang Fei replied with a depressed face, before this game, Zhuang Fei deliberately used the dynasty system to spend 100 dynasties to check the Lakers, and the system showed that 8 of the 12 people in the Lakers roster in this game were in a state of enchantment. The others are all high, and the main players such as Kobe, Glen Les, and Shaq O'Neal are all in the devil. In this game, Zhuang Fei would definitely think that the Lakers would win big, but he didn't expect to win so much.
…,
At halftime, the score was 100-44, and the Lakers became the first team to score more than 100 points in a half, and the last closest to 100 was the Hawks on February 11, 1970, who scored 97 points in the second half of that game. In the first half, the Lakers' leading shark O'Neal scored 40 points, and no one in the Nuggets could stop him, and the other core Kobe Bryant also scored 25 points in the half.
", do you still let people play" Zhuang Fei scolded again, who can win such a team? Although the Nuggets are indeed a garbage team with very poor strength, they should never lose like this, and they are also an NBA team.
The final score of this game was 157-90, the Lakers won by 67 points, and the Lakers did not let the main force for a minute in the entire second half, which means that the entire second half was garbage time, unlike the Lakers, the Nuggets still sent the main force in the third quarter, they want to chase points, otherwise this point difference is too ugly, but even if it is a substitute, the Lakers still won the main force of the Nuggets in the end.
"Zhuang, this year's Lakers are really too strong, I even think that if this game is possible, the Lakers can win the Nuggets by more than 100 points, and we will be difficult this season," D'Antoni said distressed after watching this game.
Zhuang Fei nodded, if the Lakers don't rein, the Nuggets will definitely lose by more than 100 points. However, the only thing that makes Zhuang Fei fortunate is that he knows why the Lakers have such strength, it is because of the bonuses of the dynasty system, and when they lose these bonuses in the playoffs, the strength will still return to the original state, thinking of this Zhuang Fei is also a little relieved.
"But this task is very difficult to complete, and it is really an A-level task," Zhuang Fei thought with some loss in his heart. Barring a miracle, the Timberwolves in charge will have a hard time becoming No. 1 in the West before the All-Star break
On Nov. 19, the Timberwolves embarked on their road trip against Carter's Vancouver Grizzlies, a popular team that has had a terrible season and was expected to be looking for better results in the new season. But their current 3-5 record disappoints everyone. Their star player Carter is still doing well, averaging 29 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game in the last 8 games, but Artest, who performed well in the preseason, was hidden by the Grizzlies after only playing 2 games in the regular season, reportedly because the kid had a disagreement with his teammates during training.
"Hey, Artest is in this game again?" Zhuang Fei looked at Artest, who had a blue nose and swollen face not far away, and said suspiciously. Of course, he also knew the news about Artest. But they didn't expect the Grizzlies to reactivate him in this game.
The Grizzlies worked hard in this game, but Zhuang Fei could clearly see that except for Carter, no one else would basically pass the ball to Artest, and it was obvious that the rumors of Artest and his teammates were at odds was true, and the Grizzlies were now staging this civil unrest.
Not to mention the Grizzlies in civil strife, it is not easy for even normal Grizzlies to beat the Timberwolves, Carter still did not use all his offensive firepower in this game, as if he was deliberately making a ball for Artest, but Artest's performance was average. After all, I sat on the cold bench for too long, and I didn't get back for a while.
The final score of the game was 110-95, and the Timberwolves won away against the Vancouver Grizzlies, which also put the Grizzlies deep in the lottery zone. It is the third from the bottom in the west.
"Vince, what's the matter with you, you're getting into a fight?" Zhuang Fei looked at Carter's mouth after the game, and the corners of his mouth were a little bruised, and Carter didn't notice it when he was on the court just now. Zhuang Fei knows very well what kind of person Carter is, although he used to have a very strong temper, but after coming to Wake Forest, he began to slowly learn Duncan, it can be said that this Carter is an extremely calm and wise person, fighting with people? Something like this is absolutely impossible.
…,
Carter looked at Zhuang Fei's concerned look and was a little moved, and then nodded. In the end, he said with some excitement: "Yes, I had a fight with Artest yesterday, and that kid is honest now" Looking at Zhuang Fei's puzzled look, Carter talked again. And Zhuang Fei was more and more shocked the more he listened.
In fact, Atai is in the same situation as Xiao Ao, he believes that he is a genius, and no one will dump him. However, Xiao Ao's IQ is much higher than that of Atai, and the Timberwolves are also managed by Zhuang Fei, so Xiao Ao did not cause any bad effects, but the Grizzly Bear is different, and no one in the team can control Atai. Not even Carter, and in the end, the Grizzlies collectively ostracized Artey, and even pressured the team to trade away the thorn. This made Carter, who has always admired Atay's strength, a little unbearable, and finally because of Carter's intervention, Artay was able to continue to stay in the Grizzlies, in order to be able to subdue this wild man, Carter made an appointment yesterday to go heads-up, and the bet was that if Carter lost, Carter would be Atay's little brother in the Grizzly Bear in the future, which is also the reason why Artai finally agreed to go heads-up, and he could not miss the opportunity to let the league's current No. 1 balloon star be his little brother, and he believed that no one would lose except for his idol Jordan, But in the end, he was hurt very much, whether it was offensive or defensive, he lost to Carter, and finally Artest, who was embarrassed and angry, started to move on Carter.
"No wonder I see that kid has a blue nose and swollen face" Zhuang Fei said with a smile, Carter also won the final fight, although Carter's temper is now restrained, but he is definitely a ruthless person, otherwise Artest would not have lost so badly.
"Yes, now this kid is honest, but other people still don't like him, it seems that there will be adjustments to the relationship between him and other teammates in the future, it seems that our team's results will not go up for a period of time in the future" Carter said with a smile, Zhuang Fei saw a different kind of brilliance on his face.
"Vince, you have grown up again, and now you are not losing to Tim" Zhuang Fei looked at Carter and said seriously, now Carter obviously knows what it means to be a leader, and he is also trying to be a good leader. If the grizzly bear is really mediated by Carter, then the strength of this grizzly bear will definitely reach another level, and he himself will reach another level.
Looking at Zhuang Fei's serious appearance, Carter was stunned.
"Not losing to Tim?" He recalled Zhuang Fei's words in his heart, this was the first time he heard such words from Zhuang Fei's mouth, whether it was in the media or in the team, Zhuang Fei would not hesitate to say that Duncan was better than himself when facing the comparison between himself and Duncan, Carter also saw this very openly, he really couldn't compare to Duncan, Carter did better than him in any aspect, and he was very convinced by Duncan at this point.
This is the first time that Zhuang Fei has put him and Duncan on the same level.
Don't lose, but just three words made Carter extremely excited all of a sudden, he hoped that he would be recognized by others, especially the one he loved the most, and now he did it. In the end, Carter still suppressed his excitement and said with a smile: "I still can't compare to Tim, he is now the first person in the league, MVP, championship, Finals MVP, I don't have any of these honors, but I believe that I will definitely beat Tim"
"Well, come on, Vince," Zhuang Fei looked at Carter and nodded with a smile. He hoped that these disciples of his would be able to progress, and the stronger they were, the better.
Zhuang Fei's dynasty system can change their strength, but what makes Zhuang Fei even happier is that he can change their will, both of which are indispensable for a player.
After the away victory over the Grizzlies, Zhuang Fei and his Timberwolves have won seven in a row, and now the Timberwolves are in second place in the West, behind the Lakers. And more importantly, the Lakers have lost one, but the Timberwolves have won all, in theory, as long as the Timberwolves win a few more games in a row to surpass the Lakers, but for this, Zhuang Fei did not have much hope, now the Lakers are too strong, the Timberwolves will lose sooner or later, but the Lakers may not. That's the fatal gap between the two teams.
On November 20, the Lakers faced the Raptors away, and the Raptors' Maddy was in excellent shape in this game, while O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were in slightly worse shape, but at the last moment, Fisher's three-point explosion allowed the Lakers to win 111-106 away against the Raptors.
The Lakers are on a winning streak, and the Timberwolves must follow the winning streak to complete the mission.
