Must beat Coach Z?

This actually surprised Zhuang Fei, because since leaving the Timberwolves for four years, Zhuang Fei has never seen such a sworn headline in the Minnesota media.

Of course, as the newspaper said, after Zhuang Fei left the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves never beat him, and the fans here have never been hostile to him, no matter when he returns to Minnesota, he is the most popular one, obviously, even now, all Minnesota fans or most of the core players respect him very much, and even can't afford to beat him.

And in fact, it is true, Zhuang Fei has done too thoroughly in this place, and he has conquered too thoroughly, maybe this was not a problem in the past, if Zhuang Fei is still the head coach of this team, then there is no problem, his fans and players can respect the head coach of his team so much, it is a gratifying thing, but it is obvious that Zhuang Fei is no longer the head coach of the Timberwolves.

In this newspaper, they originally thought that the Timberwolves fans and players would quickly get out of the influence of Zhuang Fei and start a new chapter of the Timberwolves, but they did not expect that Zhuang Fei's influence would be so deep, four years have passed, whether it is the fans here or the players here, they have not forgotten the Chinese or even have higher enthusiasm for the Chinese.

Even when the Lakers were playing a crazy winning streak, Timberwolves fans were actually besieging the Timberwolves' team building every day, and then calling the team owner Glenn Taylor an idiot in front of the Timberwolves building every day. Glenn Taylor, who had been a little frustrated recently because of his re-election to the state legislature, was once again afraid to appear at the Timberwolves' home target center. It's obvious. Now Timberwolves fans are also to blame the Timberwolves owner for Zhuang Fei going to the Lakers. In their opinion, as long as the boss of the Timberwolves put down his body and invited Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei had no reason to refuse him.

This is the current environment in Minnesota, very chaotic, because of Zhuang Fei, this place has been chaotic in the past four years, which has also seriously affected the team's results, there are too many internal contradictions in the team, and this is not the same contradiction as the Lakers used to.

So the sensational headline of this newspaper 'Timberwolves must beat Coach Z' is not for Zhuang Fei. It's for the Timberwolves, who once had a time to create a dynasty, for the Timberwolves players, and for the Timberwolves fans, so that they can completely end the winning streak between Zhuang Fei and the Lakers in this game, and also let this team completely get out of Zhuang Fei's influence and start their own history again.

Therefore, when he finished reading this newspaper, Zhuang Fei also sighed a little, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this Minnesota media, maybe for them. It was their responsibility, and it took courage for them to choose to do so. With Zhuang Fei's influence in Minnesota, this media reminds or wakes up Timberwolves fans or players, and it is estimated that this media will be besieged every day like the Timberwolves' team building.

Of course, no matter how much the Minnesota media called on the Timberwolves to face Zhuang Fei's attitude, when Zhuang Fei appeared in Minnesota with the Lakers' players, Zhuang Fei still received the highest courtesy in the city.

Especially when Zhuang Fei came out of the airport with the Lakers players, the number of fans outside the airport made these Lakers players even more shocked, and what touched Zhuang Fei the most was that there were still a large number of fans here who were wearing Nash and Jackson's previous jerseys in the Timberwolves, of course, almost everyone held Zhuang Fei's head, and some even played a slogan for Zhuang Fei to return to the Timberwolves.

"Coach, I didn't expect them to remember me now."

Timberwolves fans are very enthusiastic, and this enthusiasm almost makes Jackson, who has rarely shown loyalty to a team and thinks that he only belongs to Zhuang Fei, is also a little moved, for him, the Timberwolves are his first team, although most of his feelings when he was in the Timberwolves were given to Zhuang Fei, but if at this time, four years after leaving this team, there will be thousands of fans here wearing his jersey and shouting his name, even Jackson will be very moved.

"Yes, the Timberwolves fans are cute," Zhuang Fei finally sighed and said, in recent times, because the game between the Timberwolves and the Lakers is approaching, Minnesota is simply changing, especially after the local media in Minnesota 'must beat Coach Z' blatant provocation of Timberwolves fans and players and Zhuang Fei's report.

There is a lot of pressure on public opinion in this place, and the media accuses the fans and players of remembering Zhuang Fei's incident for too long, and the fans directly scold these media for being a.

In this case, the contradictions within Minnesota have changed again, from the contradiction between players, fans and owners to the contradiction between fans, players and the media, but the slight difference is that in the past, fans and owners, the most vulnerable nature has been able to hide from Glenn Taylor, who was then knocked out of the state legislature by Timberwolves fans, and this time the battle with the media is somewhat evenly matched.

But in any case, under the pressure of such public opinion, these Timberwolves fans still made such an action, which also moved Zhuang Fei very much, so the Lakers bus that was supposed to go fast was driving towards the hotel at the request of Zhuang Fei and its slow speed, and Zhuang Fei kept stretching his hand out of the window to greet the Timberwolves fans, this kind of scene should not have happened in the NBA, but in the NBA, it did happen in Minnesota, which has to be said that this is a non-commercial myth and miracle belonging to the commercial league.

"Stephen, I now finally know why Jeff and I are failing here, or anyone who shows up in Jeff's position"

At this time, it is different from the excited Zhuang Fei, Jackson, or the surprised Lakers players. Former assistant coach of the Timberwolves sitting in Grand Paris. Thibodo, who is also Van Gundy Jr.'s assistant coach, is extremely emotional. He and Van Gundy failed in the playoffs and fled Minnesota and never returned.

At that time, they often attributed their failures to the Timberwolves fans who were too irrational, and they always liked to go to Van Gundy's house or the team building to demonstrate, but at this time, seeing this scene again, Thibodu completely understood why this happened.

Because this group of guys has never been calm, perhaps in their hearts, he and Van Gundy are also their enemies even if they are the head coach of the Timberwolves, and the influence of this Chinese here is too great.

"Perhaps. But you guys are really bad at the Timberwolves" Facing Thibodo's sigh, Green on the side also said jokingly, and after Green finished speaking, Thibodu also smiled a little embarrassedly, the Timberwolves, who have always attacked the first in the league and are even considered to be the top three in history, have become a team that can't attack, and he and Van Gundy are indeed very failures here.

As many media or experts have said, if it weren't for Van Gundy Jr., the Timberwolves would not have been out of the first round, and from last season's victory over the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals, we know that the strength of this team only needs to develop along the path of Zhuang Fei. It's still a championship-caliber team, and now George Karl is doing really well.

Of course, for these players of Zhuang Fei and the Lakers. It is definitely crazy enough for Timberwolves fans to greet Zhuang Fei on such a scale, after all, their head coach is no longer the head coach of the Timberwolves at this time, but what makes these Lakers players even more surprised is still to come.

Because when they show up at the target center in the evening, they are literally treated like a home court, because of the Lakers' crazy winning streak in recent times, this team is booed almost everywhere they appear.

After all, the current Lakers are the target of the NBA, except for the Lakers fans and the Los Angeles media, almost all teams or everyone are thinking about beating them.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that there was another arena besides Staples Arena that wouldn't boo them, although they also knew that all the cheers here were for their Chinese head coach, but even so, these Lakers players were still very excited.

It's just that maybe a little embarrassed to be a Timberwolves player, but for a few of the team's core players, they don't think there's anything wrong with that.

"Coach, you are still as popular as ever" Garnett, the leading player of the Timberwolves, also looked at Zhuang Fei with a pretended jealousy and said with a smile, it is indeed a very tragic thing for him, when Zhuang Fei was in the Timberwolves, his popularity here has been suppressed by Zhuang Fei, even when Zhuang Fei left.

But just like his jealousy was faked, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so Pierce on the side also kicked Garnett's leg and stomach quickly after Garnett finished speaking, and then also scolded with a smile, can you also compare with the coach? This also made several other Zhuang Fei's former disciples of the Timberwolves around him also laugh and roll back and forth.

And Zhuang Fei looked at these guys and smiled with some memories. It's just that Zhuang Fei's smile was a little bitter at this time, because at this time, except for Garnett, Pierce, Ginobili, Wang Zhizhi and Bowen, all the others left, and at this time, the people sitting on the bench of the Timberwolves didn't know how many waves had changed.

Just like the Timberwolves fans still miss the former Timberwolves, but in fact, even for Zhuang Fei, the former Timberwolves make him miss him very much, the cowardly Lewis, the Nash who wants his teammates to play happily, the brave Mobley, the reed who hates basketball, the Crawford who is unusually sassy, and of course, the current Lakers' jack-of-all-trades Jackson and so on.

"Coach, although we don't agree with what some media have said recently about removing your influence from the Timberwolves, but we are ready to beat you in this game, coach, you once said that the Timberwolves will never become a footnote to others, and now although you have left, we still remember this sentence."

Of course, although these Timberwolves players also welcomed Zhuang Fei's arrival, what is different from the fans is that these Timberwolves players really challenged Zhuang Fei.

"Yes, coach, we have to win this game" After Garnett finished speaking, Pierce and the other Timberwolves players also expressed their determination to Zhuang Fei and said, at this time, people who don't know the truth still think that Zhuang Fei is their head coach, and at this time, George Carr, the head coach of the Timberwolves on the side, is also quite jealous when he sees these players who are surrounding Zhuang Fei with a serious face, he has never been treated like this by these people in the Timberwolves, But soon, the head coach of the Timberwolves also threw out these mental thoughts.

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it," Zhuang Fei also smiled after seeing the fighting spirit of these Timberwolves players

This is a very special game, whether it is for the Timberwolves Lakers or for Zhuang Fei personally, the same, this game is also an extremely difficult game, Zhuang Fei knows this Timberwolves very well, even if the Timberwolves have only five players left in his past, but these five people are the core of this team, and these five people also have the strength to beat the Lakers.

There is no change in the Lakers' starting lineup in this game, Webb, Hill and Szczebiak on the front line, Kobe Bryant and Hardaway on the guard line, and on the Timberwolves side, the center is Wang Zhizhi, the big forward is Garnett, the small forward is Bowen, the scoring guard Pierce, and the organizational guard is Redno, except for the rookie point guard selected by George Karl, all the other starters are the old Timberwolves before Zhuang Fei, so this team has always been considered by many people to have Zhuang Fei's deep imprint.

"Coach, this game is not easy" Listening to the cheers and shouts of the fans, Stephen Green, the former assistant coach of the Timberwolves and the current assistant coach of the Lakers, also looked at the two big men of the Timberwolves who had stood on the court and said with some concern, and Zhuang Fei on the side also nodded after Green finished speaking.

And at this time, the game also began with Crawford throwing the basketball into the sky, and Garnett also beat Webb to jump successfully, in the first wave of the Timberwolves' offense, in the face of Weber's defense, Wang Zhizhi received Garnett's free throw line left side to the next hook shot, Webber almost didn't react to Wang Zhizhi's hook hand, and could only look at Wang Zhizhi who still maintained the hook action after the hit.

Is this the Sky Hook? (To be continued.) )
