Chapter 229: Crazy Carter

Ella Book House.26book.

(Some book friends asked, isn't Duncan's nationality 'American', how can he be on the American team?) In fact, Americans are also Americans in a sense, and it is actually very simple for them to change their American nationality, in this book, Duncan has changed his nationality in 1996 to represent the Dream Three team in the Olympic Games, so there is no problem for Duncan to be selected for Zhuang Fei's national team, and he is also the captain of this dream team)

(There are also book friends who ask the fisherman if he hates Ao Fat, this dream team does not have the name of Ao Fat, in fact, the fisherman does not have any dislike for Ao Fat, Ao Fat has participated in two consecutive Dream Team, the Olympic Games, and the World Championships, he doesn't have much idea now, and this time it is his big enemy Zhuang Fei who leads the team, and like Ao Fat, Grant Hill and Payton are not planning to participate, and even these three people do not appear in the 20-person list of the American team selection committee, So this list of fishermen excludes these people, it's not that fishermen have an opinion about a certain player, and besides, the 'black' NBA star is not the style of the book)

(The above explanation is free, and the fisherman asks for a subscription at the end)

Tang Shuai looked at the Rockets players on the court with some regret, this is not that he has any dissatisfaction with this game, on the contrary, he is very satisfied with the performance of the Rockets players in this game, facing the first team in the league, and the Rockets are still playing away, it is not easy to get such a performance in this home stadium known as the league's most terrifying target center', the current score is 99-94, the game has reached the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, and so far the Rockets are still in the lead. This is a miracle for the Rockets, a team that has slipped to 12th in the West and basically missed the playoffs. He doesn't expect the Rockets to really take a win away from the Timberwolves in this game, not only the outcome of this game, but even the outcome of all the next games, he doesn't care, the most important thing now is to re-mature Francis, he must be a qualified leader who can lead the Rockets back to the playoffs. For Tang Shuai, such a tough battle can improve the maturity of the players.

The media storm that blew across the United States not long ago had a huge impact on the NBA, especially the Timberwolves in the center of the storm, although Zhuang Fei lined up a lineup that was relatively easy for everyone to accept. But it doesn't mean that there is really no one to object, for example, the media in New York are still scolding Zhuang Fei for cronyism, completely forgetting Xiao Daolan's brain-dead behavior not long ago. And some other teams such as the Trail Blazers and SuperSonics also questioned Zhuang Fei getting too many of his own descendants. Although the big turmoil has passed, the small turmoil still continues.

Tang Shuai knows that such a thing will definitely bring a lot of pressure to Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves, thinking back to everything that happened in the United States recently, Tang Shuai suddenly felt that he was very lucky, if he did not resign, now he is afraid that he will really be dragged into the quagmire by such a thing, then the rocket is estimated to follow the tragedy, and even in the end there is no time to rebuild, thinking of this Tang Shuai looked at the Chinese not far from him with some sympathy, for this Chinese he was extremely appreciative. There are not many veterans who can achieve such achievements in the United States, let alone a young man like him who is not yet 30 years old, thinking of this Tang Shuai can't help but think that he is getting older and older, and he always feels that his body is getting worse and worse recently, but then look at the current situation of rockets. He also had to pull himself up and resign when he really got the Rockets on track to rebuild.

"Good ball" watched Francis break through Nash again to the inside line and almost leaned on Garnett as if stepping on the ladder in the air two-stage layup, Francis's physical fitness and potential is his biggest reliance on rebuilding the Rockets, this goal was scored, the situation of the Rockets stabilized again, and the Timberwolves chased the points fiercely. In the face of this momentum of chasing points, the most taboo is that the team cannot score, as long as there is a scoring drought, no matter how much the lead is, it is not much for a team with a ferocious offense like the Timberwolves, not to mention that the difference between the two teams is not big now. …,

"In this game, the Timberwolves don't seem to plan to use their very strange umbrella tactics to chase points, thinking about it, the Timberwolves think that conventional means are fine, there is no need to gamble, but I'm afraid this game is like this" Tang Shuai thought with a smile in his heart, but he still had some regrets in his heart, for Zhuang Fei's umbrella tactics, he wanted to see it with his own eyes, but there are not many teams in the entire league that can force Zhuang Fei to use this tactic, and the strength of the rocket has obviously not reached such a level.

Zhuang Fei sighed, the final score of this game was 104-101, the Timberwolves failed to kill and lost to the united Rockets, the new core of the Rockets in this game Francis scored 36 points in the face of Nash, it can be said that he defeated the Timberwolves with one blow, the Timberwolves continued the state of losing to the 76ers at home in the last game, the whole team felt a little cold, the last game against the 76ers, Zhuang Fei really felt Iverson's treatment of him' Thanks', Iverson scored 69 points in 26 of 48 shots in the game to thank Zhuang Fei for choosing him to enter the American team, the most depressed of the recent storm is probably Iverson, his strength and ability have been despised because of Carter, it can be said that in Iverson's opinion, he is now embarrassed Zhuang Fei has to bear a lot of responsibility, although Zhuang Fei selected him in the end, but his resentment against Zhuang Fei has not disappeared, and he wants to give Zhuang Fei a little color. More than 40 shots in a game, few people will shoot so crazy since basketball entered modern history, and Iverson obviously doesn't care how many shots he makes, he is really happy to play this game, and it also creates enough trouble for Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves. In the end, the Timberwolves lost because of the crazy outburst of Iverson, an A+ player.

"Steve, don't be pressured, it's not your reason" Zhuang Fei patted Nash, who was a little depressed from the court, and said, in two consecutive games, Nash encountered Iverson and Frances one after another, such defensive pressure is self-evident, although Zhuang Fei often lets others change defenses, but it is impossible to be like this all the time, many times Nash is personally facing these defensive pressures. It can be said that the play of Iverson and Frances in these two games is a big reason for defeating the Timberwolves, and even the biggest reason, Nash's frustration and self-blame are also understandable. There has been a lot of improvement in defensive movement and even defensive positioning, but these things are basically not worth mentioning in the face of his weak body, and Nash is still helpless with 'beast' players like Iverson and Francis. What Nash can do now is to be able to defend Stockton, who is already in the twilight of his career.

"Coach, I know, don't worry," Nash said with a wry smile. Of course, he knew that Zhuang Fei was comforting him, Zhuang Fei kept telling him that he never worried about his defense, and Zhuang Fei kept telling him, 'If someone else scores 50 points on your head, you will create 51 points for the team, as long as you can help the team suppress the opponent in scoring, it is enough', but in these two games, he was also a little powerless in the face of his teammates' cold hand, and he wanted to attack by himself, but he was a little hesitant. Zhuang Fei has always encouraged him to score crazy points when necessary, and now it seems that he has no way to complete Zhuang Fei's task, at least psychologically, he still rejects this style of play.

Zhuang Fei and his Timberwolves lost two games in a row. This season's record has become 71 games, 62 wins and 9 losses, and finally there are 11 regular season games left this season, the Timberwolves' last 11 games are 4 home and 7 away, and now Zhuang Fei has no intention of letting the Timberwolves fight hard in order to break the record, and now Zhuang Fei can be said to have basically locked the first place in the West. The Lakers, who are now second in the West, now have a record of 61 wins and 11 losses, and it is obvious that they are more difficult than the Timberwolves. And the most important thing is not to be injured in the final stage, Zhuang Fei is not willing to use his high-level injury recovery potion now, nor does he want to spend 1000 Dynasty points to go to the store to buy ordinary injury potion. …,

For Zhuang Fei. He wants to smoothly transition this period of the schedule, on March 31, the Timberwolves away back-to-back against the Pacers, who are currently the first in the East, in front of the Timberwolves' two consecutive defeats made many people not optimistic about the Timberwolves' back-to-back this time, and the Timberwolves lost to the Pacers at home this season, and the Timberwolves' closing stage is the same, and the Pacers, who have almost locked the first place in the East, are also collecting recently, especially their team's boss Reggie Miller, Reggie Miller's playing time in a recent game has never exceeded 30 minutes, no matter how tense the game is, the Timberwolves as a young team can't learn from the Pacers, young people can take a break, but they can't rest big, this time with the Pacers, the Timberwolves are like this, the Pacers obviously don't want to go toe-to-toe with the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves are a more normal rotation, of course, they don't work hard, but even so, The Timberwolves, playing back-to-back away games, still defeated the Pacers, avenged the last loss, and of course ended their own losing streak.

On April 2, the Timberwolves returned to their home court to face the Phoenix Suns, the last time the Timberwolves were booed at the Suns' home court, although the media of Phoenix apologized in the end, but it is clear that Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves players did not forget that game, of course, the Timberwolves fans have not forgotten, the Phoenix Suns are now competing for sixth place in the West, and now they are ranked seventh, although there is still a certain gap from the sixth Spurs, but it is not impossible to chase the possibility, So the Phoenix Suns are definitely doing their best in this game, of course, the Timberwolves don't plan to let the Suns pass easily in this game, the score of this game has been very anxious, until the fourth quarter The two teams did not distinguish the winner, Hardaway continued to attack Jackson to hit, and Pierce's three points in this game are extremely accurate, especially when Hardaway hits continuously, Pierce can return it, and even when Hardaway feels cold in the end, Pierce is still scoring, and the final score of this game is 117-110, In the end, the Suns had to resort to foul tactics, but still couldn't get it back, and the best player of the game was Paul Pearce, who played 33 minutes and scored 29 points, while Garnett and Nash both played only 32 minutes.

"Carter won the best player of April again, the Grizzlies are too fierce in these two months" Zhuang Fei looked at the new awards of last month's best in the newspaper in his office and thought, after Carter integrated Artest into the Grizzlies, the Canadian team began to soar, especially after the All-Star Game, the last 22 Grizzlies have won 20 games, according to the current public opinion, Carter's MVP trophy has basically been determined, except for Carter winning the best of the month, This year's rookie Artest also won last month's rookie of the month, this season's rookie of the month in the West has always been Francis and James Posey take turns to sit in the bank, this time it was actually robbed by Artest, last month Artest was able to contribute an average of 16.5 points per game is one of the biggest contributors to the Grizzlies' ranking into the third place in the West, although the personal data is not as dazzling as James Posey and Francis, but the team's record is a lot.

"Maybe this thorn can really be subdued by Vince, at least this thorn is quite obedient now, but Carter and Artest really have a huge chemistry, will this combination become a slightly smaller version of Jordan Pippen combination?" Zhuang Fei finally closed his eyes and thought. If this is the case in the end, then the competition in the west in the future will be lively.

Before the Timberwolves faced the Hawks at home, the Timberwolves were in a relaxed mood, and recently Zhuang Fei went to the team's training gym a lot more often, and he has been trying to see how the players are feeling, after all, the playoffs are about to start, and he is pleased that the Timberwolves are now very relaxed, Zhuang Fei still clearly remembers the nervousness of the Timberwolves at the end of the final season last season, and the whole team was very nervous, at that time the Timberwolves needed to catch up with the Jazz, and after catching up with the Jazz, they had to chase the Spurs, which can be said to have been sprinting nervously. …,

If the Timberwolves played last season, then this season the Timberwolves are sitting on the country, the Timberwolves keep the first to let others play, these are two completely different mentalities, so far the Timberwolves have done very well, although this is also related to the Lakers' self-chaos, the Timberwolves have been very easy this season. And Garnett seems to have returned to his normal heart now, and he must know the news that Carter won the Player of the Month today, but now Garnett is not abnormal, which also makes Zhuang Fei breathe a sigh of relief.

On April 4, the Timberwolves hosted the Hawks, the Hawks are at the bottom of the East this season, the Timberwolves changed three in this game, in addition to Garnett and Nash, the other three were replaced by Wang Zhizhi, Lewis and Mobley, but even if the Timberwolves rotate such a large area, the Hawks still can't resist the Timberwolves, and now his legendary head coach of the Hawks, Dream Three team coach Wilkens has been out of class, and after Wilkens got out of class, this team that has been a powerhouse in the East in the past few seasons is now completely lacking in fighting spirit, In fact, in Zhuang Fei's opinion, the strength of this Hawk is there, Mutombo is now the second center in the East, Jim Jackson is far from old, even Jason Terry has good ability, and even Alan Henderson and Lafonso Ellis are also famous players in the league, but the final game score was 109-90, and the Timberwolves won again at home. The eagle also fell into the abyss again.

In Zhuang Fei's view, this is the role of the head coach, and sometimes the head coach is the soul of the team. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
