(New Year's 2nd Monthly Pass)

Zhuang Fei and the Celtics have won a total of 3 games in the four games of this Western tour, which can be called a good result for any team that has been fighting on the road in the southwest, and it is also because of the results of the four games and three wins, so that the Boston Celtics have a 12-4 record to consolidate their third position in the East, while the Heat in front of them is 13-4, the Heat has encountered some problems recently, and the last four games are 2-2, This also makes the Boston Celtics close the gap between them and them, and now the difference between the Boston Celtics and the Heat is only half a game, and the Grizzlies, who are currently the first in the East and the first in the league, have a record of 15 wins and 2 losses, and it still looks a little invincible. The best defensive team in the league at the moment failed to defend against the Mavericks' offense, but had problems with their own offense, and like the Boston Celtics, they also had problems on the team.

In that game, the Grizzlies did not find a way to deal with the Mavericks' joint defense, but this is also because everyone is a little unfamiliar with this new tactic, and when they are really familiar, the Mavericks' joint defense will definitely be greatly reduced in effect, but only at this time, the old Nelson is estimated to be able to snicker, and now the strong teams in the league are not only the Boston Celtics and the Grizzlies, this crazy scientist will inevitably drive a new trend again.

However, when Zhuang Fei returned to the Boston Celtics, he had no time to think about such a problem. When Zhuang Fei returned to Boston, there were already a lot of people waiting for him, and of course, there were already Stephen Green and Kirilenko, who he had been looking forward to for a long time.

In this trip to the southwest, Zhuang Fei's biggest understanding of his team is that the team's current bench lineup is flawed, a big flaw, the team's second team has a problem with the movement speed, although a team's second team is mainly attacked, but many times defense is the beginning of offense. Especially the current Celtics second team has not reached the situation where the second team of the Timberwolves treats the opponent's defense as nothing, and the second team of the Timberwolves is because the offense is too strong, so Zhuang Fei can completely replace the defense with offense. In many cases, offense and defense can indeed be transformed, just as some people always say 'offense is the best defense' and some people will say that offense is the beginning of offense', which is mainly reflected in the strength of a team. If it was the former Timberwolves, Zhuang Fei could say that offense was the best defense, but in the current Boston Celtics, this is not right, the Boston Celtics' current second team is difficult to achieve invincibility on the offensive end and then kill the opponent, at this time, the team must start from defense, that is, 'defense is the beginning of offense', the two must be coordinated.

In the past, Zhuang Fei always thought that the Boston Celtics needed more Eric Williams than Kirilenko, but from the current point of view, Zhuang Fei's previous opinion was incorrect, although Kirilenko, an all-round striker, was much worse than Eric Williams in terms of experience. He can't attack like Eric Williams, but the Russian kid's ability to help defend inside and outside is not comparable to Eric Williams, and this is a natural barrier player for the Boston Celtics' second team.

So this time, when Zhuang Fei returned to Boston, he saw that Kirilenko was very enthusiastic, at least more enthusiastic than he had imagined before, which also surprised Stephen Green on the side. You must know that Zhuang Fei has not been very interested in this Russian kid in the past, and Stephen Green has said more than once when he was in the Timberwolves that he wanted to introduce this all-round forward, but he has been rejected by Zhuang Fei for various reasons, and in Stephen Green's heart, Zhuang Fei is prejudiced against the Russian forward. …,

Of course, these are naturally Green's misunderstandings, and Zhuang Fei has no prejudice against Kirilenko. It's just that under the circumstances at that time, Wang Zhizhi was indeed more suitable for the Timberwolves than Kirilenko, and at that time, Zhuang Fei didn't need this Russian at all, and the current Boston Celtics are indeed in a completely different situation.

The deal for Nash was confirmed when Zhuang Fei and Mavericks finished the game, and since Zhuang Fei has been away recently, Zhuang Fei was also handed over to the team's deputy general manager Danny Anji to be fully responsible.

In this trade, Zhuang Fei sent the team's important seventh man Eric Williams, while the Spurs sent the team's key player Johnson and a 2002 first-round pick, the Jazz sent the team's 1999 rookie Kirilenko, the Timberwolves sent the team's Finals MVP Nash and a $2 million trade exception, and the Wizards sent the team's point guard Chris Whitney and 2002, 2004 and 2006 first-round picks.

In this deal, Zhuang Fei and the Celtics got Kirilenko from the Jazz and 2002 first-round picks from the Spurs, the Jazz got the 2004 draft pick from the Wizards and a 2 million trade exception from the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves got the 2002 and 2006 first-round picks from the Wizards, as well as Wizards point guard Chris Whitney and the Spurs' point guard junior Johnson.

In this five-way deal, Zhuang Fei and his Boston Celtics still played the role of ' In this deal, except for the Boston Celtics, the other four teams are all winners, the Wizards got the Nash they want the most, and the Timberwolves got two first-round picks from the Wizards, especially the first-round pick in 2002, according to the current record of the Wizards, they were basically in the lottery area in 2002, and they were still on the lotto, and they may even be the top three picks, as for the Spurs, they got a strong player who can instantly change the fate of their team, Eric Williams is better than the current junior general Johnson in any way, plus the team's original Duncan, Parker and Steve Smith, the strength of this Spurs will also rise to a level, as for the Jazz, it is as unlucky as Zhuang Fei's Boston Celtics, and in the case of no way to get Kirilenko, he can only use Kirilenko for a lottery that may be a lottery, but no matter how you look at it, it is better than holding Kirilenko. And the most important side of this deal, the Timberwolves, in addition to getting two first-round picks, also got the little general Johnson they wanted, and also got an excellent point guard Whitney with an average of 10+5 per game, at least for Van Gundy, he did not suffer or even take advantage.

The day after the five teams reached the deal, the day after Zhuang Fei and his return to Boston, the whole of the United States began to hype the deal.

In particular, the departure of last season's Finals MVP Nash is even more exciting for these people, although almost all of the United States knows that Van Gundy of the Timberwolves simply can't tolerate Nash, but when this trade happened, it still caused a huge shock.

Because in the history of the NBA, there is basically no Finals MVP in the second year to change the court, the NBA is a league of superstars, as a league first-class star, no team is willing to give up, so the Timberwolves are definitely a precedent in the history of the league, plus the All-Star center they abandoned this summer O'Neal Jr. has been guarded Jackson, it can be said that when the Nash deal is completed, many teams are eyeing this kind of defending champion again.

Obviously, judging from the series of actions of this team, there is nothing absolutely unsellable about their team, and this team is really as 'competitive' as Coach Z said when he left. …,

Of course, now many NBA teams have been eyeing the Timberwolves, but in addition to the NBA team, there are more fans eyeing the Timberwolves, on the second day of Nash's departure, almost all the Timberwolves fans in Minnesota City were dispatched, these Timberwolves fans from all over Minnesota surrounded the team's office building, and these people's protests soon caused a sensation again in the United States, and Timberwolves fans had deep feelings for the previous Timberwolves, Because Zhuang Fei's departure made them cherish the previous players who gave them infinite happiness, if they could, they all hoped that those players could retire from the team, but obviously, Glenn Taylor and Van Gundy ruined all this, Nash is one of the core figures of the team, although in terms of the status of Timberwolves fans, it is not as good as Garnett and Pierce, but it is definitely the third person on the team, and it is an unacceptable thing to get such a player away in any way.

Compared with the excitement of Timberwolves fans, the Washington Wizards are quite excited, Nash has not yet reported to the Wizards, but Nash's No. 13 jersey has been sold out in Washington, Nash's joining can be said to be a grand stroke in the history of the Wizards, this is a popular Finals MVP, and now many people are looking forward to the combination of Nash and Hamilton plus Jordan's outside trident.

"It's going to be a deal that changes the history of the Wizards, he's a great player like me, we're all great MVPs, and the history of the Wizards will be rewritten from this moment"

These are Jordan's exact words when he was interviewed by the media.

Now the focus of the nation is almost all drawn to Nash, and Zhuang Fei and his new player Kirilenko are completely ignored. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
