In the Timberwolves' head coach's office, Zhuang Fei leaned on his office chair alone and thought quietly, he still had to come, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to, after seven fierce battles with the Trail Blazers, the San Antonio Spurs still defeated the Trail Blazers, and the score in the last game was 86-64, and the Trail Blazers' shooting rate was only 24.5%, which was definitely an outrageous shooting rate. The Trail Blazers are not an outside team, and their interior strength is also a few in the league, but they were forced by the Spurs to become an outside team that survived by shooting percentage, and the Spurs' restricted area defense almost collapsed.

"The Spurs' interior line is too strong, we've tried our best to improve the team's aggression, but as soon as we get into the box, Tim Duncan will envelop us, oh my god, it really breaks us, we've been on the lookout for Tim Duncan's big palms all the time, Tim Duncan alone is enough to make us uncomfortable, but they still have David Robinson, maybe losing is a relief for us"

"Jermaine is great, he's been very successful in containing David Robinson, we wouldn't have lasted so long without him, he's our future, we're not going to be stupid enough to get him away, absolutely not, he and Sabonis can coexist very well"

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Zhuang Fei could feel Dunleavy's helplessness, in the face of such a pair of interior combinations, the Trailblazers had done a good job.

"The Trailblazers were able to hold out for seven games, I don't know how long we can hold out" Zhuang Fei picked up another newspaper. This newspaper made Zhuang Fei's face feel as cold as entering a harsh winter.

"The Timberwolves will end the battle in four games, Jīng's exhausted Spurs are not the opponent of the Timberwolves, and the fate of the Spurs can refer to the Jazz"

Sloan's killing effect isn't over yet, and it's just one of the newspapers that killed the Timberwolves. Whenever Zhuang Fei sees such news, it is as uncomfortable as eating flies, but the rest of the Timberwolves are willing to watch such news, not to mention the Timberwolves players under such a public opinion offensive, even the team's first assistant coach D'Antoni has fallen, as if the Spurs have now become lambs to the slaughter, ready to let the Timberwolves swallow a bite.

In addition, what made Zhuang Fei even more helpless was that the team owner Glenn Taylor called him to tell him that he was ready for the celebration banquet for the team to win the Western Conference championship. Now that preparations have begun for the championship celebration banquet, except for Zhuang Fei, the entire Timberwolves are immersed in a terrible joy and can't extricate themselves.

"Your sister's Sloane. Your sister's killing, what should you do for me? "Zhuang Fei is now completely in a dilemma, should he let him be a maverick to drink the players, the coach, and the boss? Then let them recognize the reality. In fact, the Timberwolves are far inferior to the Spurs? Zhuang Fei can't do it, let's not talk about what the players will think after hearing this, let's take the owner Glenn Taylor as an example, if Zhuang Fei says this. It's okay to win against Spurs, but if you lose. Then there is no doubt that Zhuang Fei is self-inflicted on morale. retreated before fighting, which also put Zhuang Fei in a dilemma.

"The whole world is drunk, I wake up alone, Qu Yuan, Qu Yuan, I finally understand what this sentence means," Zhuang Fei couldn't help but sigh.

Just when Zhuang Fei sighed secretly, the door of the office was pushed open, and Stephen Green walked in, still holding a stack of things in his hand, and came to Zhuang Fei's desk and sat down: "Coach, this is the information I compiled for this year's rookies"

Zhuang Fei woke up from his thoughts, looked at Green with a smile on his face, and said to him with a smile: "It's hard work."

"This year's rookie level is good, Ragha and James are also in the draft this year, and Al Harrington, who we recruited from college last year, is also going to participate in this year's draft" Stephen Green is in a good mood, Wake Forest used to be difficult to produce a first-round pick in ten years, and now? Almost every year, Wake Forest players can be found in the top few of the rookie list, all of which is brought by the man in front of him, who has left Wake Forest with unimaginable wealth, although Wake Forest lost the championship this year and only made it to the final four, but James Posey and Al Harrington are both top 10 favorites, and Ragabel is also predicted to be able to squeeze into the lottery. Now the most popular players in the NBA are Carter and Duncan, these two have made a name for Wake Forest, as long as they are players of Wake Forest, no one wants to worry about it. In particular, the Clippers, who missed Carter last year, have vowed this year that James Posey will not want it, and others such as Odom, Hamilton, and Jason Terry will not want it.

"Their ability is not bad now, but the current ranking is already inflated for them, James and Harrington are okay, and Raga is predicted to be selected by eleven, which is really unbelievable" Zhuang Fei looked at the scouting report in his hand and said with a smile.

"By the way, do we have any rookies worth paying attention to" Zhuang Fei was testing his disciple again, he wanted to see how Green looked after this season. The Timberwolves are ranked high this season, and naturally the draft pick is low, so it is definitely not easy to pick a suitable rookie.

"I very much want to recommend two people to you" As soon as he heard Zhuang Fei's inquiry, Green's eyes immediately lit up, he was very prepared with great care, and this test was not difficult for him.

"Tell me, which two people" Zhuang Fei looked at Green with a smile.

"One is the Russian Kirilenko, a player who has great physical talent, good mobility, very good defense, is definitely an underrated player, he is the best newcomer in Europe this year, very young but with a lot of potential."

"And then there's the Argentinian Ginobili, who is playing in Italy now, in a style a bit like our Mobley, and is a player who can fight, but he doesn't have the potential of Kirilenko, so we can sign him with a second-round pick."

"You really think so, think that these two people can have a chance to gain a foothold in the NBA," Zhuang Fei's tone became stern.

Seeing Zhuang Fei like this, Green's heart also rose to his throat. However, he still insisted on his thoughts: "Yes, I think they can gain a foothold in the NBA" After saying this, Green also waited for Zhuang Fei's trial.

"Well, it's good to be able to assert one's opinions. This is very important" Zhuang Fei nodded, and then continued: "What do you think of that Chinese power forward inside"

China Insider? Green muttered again in his heart, Wang Zhizhi he knew, I heard that he had covered the admiral in the Olympics before, but to be honest, Green did not pay attention to him, in Green's mind Chinese can play basketball? It's not that he is racist, but Asians really can't play this sport, but seeing that the person in front of him is also Chinese. This makes it difficult for Green, what to say? I can't say I didn't understand.

"That, Wang Zhizhi's technical characteristics are a bit like Nowitzki of the Mavericks, and his shooting should be good. However, the physical fitness is not too good, and the defense should be terrible" Green racked his brains, and finally remembered that the Mavericks really wanted to be interested in Wang Zhizhi, according to the style of old Nelson, obviously. Wang Zhizhi should be his favorite type, and he should be about the same as Nowitzki.

"Then do you think it's worth it if we use the first-round pick to select Wang Zhizhi?" Zhuang Fei asked again.

"Hmm. It should be okay, but I'm personally more optimistic about Kirilenko. After all, we only have the penultimate first-round pick right now, and we should be targeting Kirilenko. Wang Zhizhi, I think, is still not as good as Kirilenko" Green said boldly, it is true that Kirilenko is much stronger than Wang Zhizhi

"Not bad, it seems that you have done a solid job lately, I am very satisfied"

Looking at the back of Green leaving, Zhuang Fei was very relieved, this disciple has grown up very quickly, and it may not take long to become a teacher.

After Green left, the office fell silent again, Zhuang Fei picked up the stack of scouting reports again, and then pulled out a very simple piece of paper from it, only the name and photo on the paper, nothing else. Zhuang Fei looked at the familiar figure in the photo, a little distracted.

"Wang Zhizhi, nationality Chinese" Zhuang Fei muttered, and then fell into deep thought again

"Avril, what are you going to do" Derek watched as Avril was already packing up the guitar in the music room and preparing to leave. Then immediately went to dissuade her, yesterday the boss of the company hoped that Avril could change her style and be a good girl style singer, but in the end Avril was directly rejected. Derek admires this girl with a xìng, and when the two meet at Island Records, he launches a fierce pursuit of Avril, but Avril remains unmoved. Listening to what she meant, it seems that there is something else in my heart.

"They don't understand my music at all, it's unpleasant to stay here, I'm leaving, Derek, you don't have to persuade me" Avril said with a little irritation, everyone saw her and hoped that she could be a good child, but she just didn't like it, was it wrong to be rebellious, he remembered that cold night, the uncle said to her, she can be herself, she can not consider other people's opinions.

"But Avril, they can make an album for you, isn't that what you want?" Derek still didn't give up.

"That's not what I want, I need my own soul" Avril was completely furious, and actually used the album to kidnap her, she is not uncommon.

"Come on, Avril, don't you be so stubborn, okay, soul? Now you need popularity, not ethereal things" Derek intends to use reality to make Avril wake up, but looking at Avril's appearance, he is even more angry.

"You don't understand that you can never be a great singer," Avril said with disdain.

"I don't understand? I don't think anyone in this world will understand you" Derek was also angry with this somewhat secondary Avril Lavigne, but as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it. But it's too late to take it back.

"Someone will understand, but not you," Avril said and left.

Avril Lavigne, who left Island Records, went straight to the airport, she was very upset now, she needed someone to talk to, in her heart she had a confidant, but this confidant was not far away in Minnesota.

"Dad, I want to travel for a while, you don't have to worry about me, I know I take care of myself" After making a phone call home at the airport, Avril got on a plane to Minnesota.

"I don't know if he still recognizes me" Avril Lavigne on the plane was secretly worried, remembering that the last time they met, the two did not know each other's names, but fortunately there was a fanatical Carter fan at home, and now Carter of the Vancouver Grizzlies is a hero of the whole of Canada, and her father is also a crazy fan of Carter, which made Avril know that the kind uncle who has a relationship with him is a very famous basketball coach. According to her inquiry, the uncle is also a very rebellious person, and likes to use tactics that others have never done and never dared to think of.

"Only in this way can I be worthy of being my bosom friend" Avril doesn't care what others say about uncle, in her heart, uncle must be as different as her

Alamo Stadium is an American football stadium, also known as football stadium, but the current Alamo Stadium stadium is the home of the San Antonio Spurs, because the stadium is too large, so whenever the Spurs play, they need to be separated by half, and only half can be used, which also makes it very inconvenient for fans to watch the game, so that many Spurs fans complain, which also makes the management of the Spurs very entangled, and now the management of the Spurs and the county of Bayer County are negotiating, Spurs management threatened that if there is no new stadium, the Spurs will move out of San Antonio, and now the county of Bayer County is ready to compromise and want to use citizens' tax money to build a new stadium for the Spurs, but now this resolution has not yet passed, and a referendum is still needed, the time is in November 1999, so the Spurs estimate that they will have to endure the use of football stadiums for a few more years.

Although the Spurs are not the traditional giants in the West, but because of the arrival of David Robinson, they have become a strong team, and because of the arrival of the popular inside Duncan, they have the opportunity to compete for the championship, so the Spurs' influence in San Antonio is also increasing, which is also the reason why the Spurs management dares to have a showdown with Bayer County. So even though this game was held in a football arena, there was still no shortage of spectators, not to mention that the opponent was the Timberwolves led by Coach Z, who was in the limelight for a while.

When Avril came to San Antonio, she really had the urge to cry, originally thought that Zhuang Fei would be in Minnesota, who knew that he would come to San Antonio to play, and finally came to San Antonio, but found that she didn't know how to find him at all, so she could only rely on her petite body to grab a ticket to the Spurs and Timberwolves with a group of big men.

"Finally got a ticket," Avril almost cried as she looked at the ticket in her hand.
