On June 20th, it has been a full week since the Timberwolves won the championship, but the Timberwolves are still immersed in a championship-winning atmosphere at the Timberwolves club, so when Zhuang Fei returns to the club after a not-so-long vacation, it is obvious that he can see something different in the eyes of these Timberwolves staff.

Because Zhuang Fei was in the Timberwolves in the past, these staff and managers of the Timberwolves saw him Nash, just like a mouse and a cat, and he hid as far as he could, but now as soon as Zhuang Fei stepped into the club, these people who usually avoided him would actually have the courage to come forward to greet him, and Zhuang Fei could see from their eyes that there was a trace of respect under the fear, and it was obvious that Zhuang Fei's status in their hearts had changed.

Zhuang Fei actually doesn't care about his opinion and status in the eyes of others, he is used to being himself, he is also used to living in his own small world, so he likes to avoid parties and avoid the hustle and bustle, although Zhuang Fei is this kind of person, but in the NBA, most people will not be like this, at least most of the NBA players are not like this, they care very much about the eyes of others, they are very concerned about their own positioning, and they also want to improve their status very much, For example, Garnett and Pierce when Zhuang Fei first came to the Timberwolves, these two are competing with each other in different ways, and their purpose is just to improve their status in Zhuang Fei's eyes.

Catino Mobley. 24 years old this year, this age is not too big or small in the NBA, this is the age at which a player begins to transform, many rookies are transformed into first-class stars in the league from this age, this is a critical age for all players, when he really transforms at this stage, then they will successfully enter the NBA star class, if the transformation is good, maybe like Carter and Duncan directly into the ranks of top stars. The next one may be second-rate or third-rate, but whether it is first-class or second- or third-rate. As long as you become a star in the NBA, you will enjoy an annual salary of tens of millions and have a different right to speak. Obviously, no player can resist the temptation to become an NBA star, and of course, it is not so easy to become an NBA star, at least someone must be willing to give you this opportunity.

Coincidentally, Mobley now has a chance. Someone is willing to make him the core of the team, and becoming the core of a team is the first step to growing into a star, and it is clear that Mobley will not have this opportunity in the Timberwolves, even if he was the league's best sixth man last season, even if he can still contribute 11 points per game this season, he is still the strongest bench bandit of the Timberwolves. But it's clear that the Timberwolves only have three cores, Garnett, Pierce, and Nash. So there are only three stars of the Timberwolves, although the Timberwolves are now the champions of the league, this kind of exposure is not comparable to some garbage teams, but in the shadow of these three people, even if the other players of the Timberwolves can attract attention, but the attention is very limited, Mobley is not Wang Zhizhi, and there is no support from 1.3 billion people behind him.

Mobley didn't fail to try to be the team's fourth core. In fact, last season he thought he was the fourth core of the team, and he also thought that he had entered the Timberwolves' rebuilding sequence, but unfortunately this was just his own imagination, and he quickly understood that this was not the case at all, he was just a role player, even if he was strong in Zhuang Fei's eyes, he was just a role player, he could not enter the Timberwolves' inner circle, and even in the playoffs, he could obviously feel that there was a person behind him who had been staring at his position. This man frightened him a little. …,

Ginobili did make him afraid, a team's sixth man is actually only one is enough, this is common sense, but it is obvious that in the playoffs Zhuang Fei actually set up two cores of the team's second team, his status began to be parallel to Ginobili, he did not have any bad opinion of Ginobili, and even he admired Ginobili very much, this is a very distinctive and powerful player, and this Argentine has indeed contributed too much to the Timberwolves' championship-winning cause, Of course, he has no dissatisfaction with Zhuang Fei, in his heart he has always regarded Zhuang Fei as his most important mentor, if there is no Zhuang Fei, he doesn't know what will happen to his second-round show, maybe he was directly laid off by the Grizzlies, and he had no choice but to pick up his backpack and go abroad to play, and then like Bowen mixed abroad for a few years before returning to the NBA from a ten-day short contract, Mobley is not an ungrateful person, just he is still a person who knows how to be grateful, and he remembers everything Zhuang Fei gave him very clearly, It's just that some things really can't replace each other, if Zhuang Fei is really willing to give him the core position, it is impossible for him to leave Zhuang Fei, and even if he is willing to get a low salary in the Timberwolves, this is no problem at all, but he knows very well that Zhuang Fei will not give him this status, Zhuang Fei loves his players very much, and he is also a person who is extremely stubborn about his players, who he thinks is a role player, then that person must be a role player, and whoever he makes a star, then that person is a star. There is no possibility of bargaining at this point.

So Marbury is extremely envious of Nash, Nash was one of the worst players on the team at the beginning, but he almost lost confidence in Zhuang Fei's high positioning, and now it's okay, in the end, the player who almost lost confidence before is now one of the best young point guards in the league, and even the All-Star has entered, compared to his current situation, Mobley can't help but feel some jealousy again. He would even wonder why Zhuang Fei had a crush on Nash instead of himself.

Although Mobley is ready to leave for the core position, he has always hoped that Zhuang Fei can keep him, even in his dreams, he hopes that Zhuang Fei will say to her: "Catino, you will be the fourth core of the team, the fourth star".

Thinking of this, Mobley felt a glimmer of anticipation in his heart.

When Mobley pushed open the door of Zhuang Fei's office, he couldn't help but feel extremely nervous. Zhuang Fei's power has been firmly imprinted in the minds of all Timberwolves players. At this time, Mobley was afraid that he would upset Zhuang Fei.

"The team had just won the championship. And if I want to force the coach to leave, will the coach think that I am an ungrateful person? Kevin, Paul and Steve, do they think the same way? Mobley hesitated again in his heart, but when he thought of the position of the core of the team, Mobley gritted his teeth fiercely and walked into Zhuang Fei's office.

"Catino, sit down" Zhuang Fei noticed it as soon as Mobley pushed the door in, and then put down the tactical instruction book in his hand and said with a smile to his favorite general, he really never thought that Mobley would think about leaving. He had some complaints about Mobley. But seeing Mobley's red eyes, the resentment in Zhuang Fei's heart disappeared. Zhuang Fei understands that leaving the team is definitely not his first choice.

For Mobley's hope to get the position of the core of the team, Zhuang Fei really has no way to agree, for a team, the three cores are already saturated. The Timberwolves can't accommodate a fourth core, and the core of the team is not just words, but needs to be changed in the actual tactical positioning. Other aspects such as position, ball possession, and even the occupation of shot rights need to be considered, Mobley is Zhuang Fei's first batch of disciples in the NBA, and his feelings for Mobley Zhuang Fei are very deep, in fact, from Mobley's point of view, his request is not excessive, or even very reasonable, a player who became the league's best sixth man in his rookie season, a young player who can contribute more than 12 points per game, is it wrong to hope that the team can focus on cultivating him? This is perfectly normal. …,

It's just that in the Timberwolves, Zhuang Fei really can't give him these very reasonable requirements, Mo said that he is just an A-level potential player. Even the A-level Xiao Ao and Ginobili will not become the core players of this Timberwolves team, unless Nash, Pierce or Garnett one of the artists leaves, Zhuang Fei will consider the core substitution. It's impossible for now, and the Timberwolves don't have that capacity. Even if they already have the core strength, they can only deign to be a role player in the Timberwolves.

"Catino, this request of yours is very reasonable, really reasonable, but the current Timberwolves really don't have this, and it is impossible to set up another core" Zhuang Fei looked at Mobley's lost eyes, and he felt a little pain in his heart.

"Is that so?" Mobley's heart darkened after listening to Zhuang Fei's words, although he knew that this would be the result, but he was still very disappointed, and the scene in his dream did not appear. Maybe in the coach's mind, he is really just a dispensable role player.

"Cutino, you know, in fact, in my heart you've always been one of my favorite players, and when I came to the NBA, I had a lot of troubles, and I had a lot of troubles, and a lot of my own players made me trouble, like Nash, like Pierce, like Garnett, the three of them caused me a lot of problems, and some of them even made me feel at a loss, but Catino, you never, no matter at any time you just get up from the bench you are the player who makes me the most convincedand that never changes."

"You are the player I believe in the most" Hearing this, Mobley's heart trembled, but Zhuang Fei didn't care about Mobley's change and continued.

"I can't give you too many things, it's that I feel very sorry for you, with your strength, any team in the league will be the core of the team, but in the Timberwolves, you can only be a substitute, although I have never looked at you as a substitute but this is also true, I can't give you a high salary, and I can't give you status, these are my problems"

Mobley looked at the coach in front of him and suddenly regretted it, this was the first time he had seen a coach in such pain, even if the team lost to the Spurs coach last season, he had never been so depressed.

"It's me who caused trouble for the coach and the team, I'm such a bastard" Mobley secretly hated himself in his heart.

"Coach, I'm a" Mobley was directly interrupted by Zhuang Fei when he was about to say something more.

"Catino, I know what you have to say, you don't need to apologize to anyone, you haven't done anything wrong, I won't look down on you because of this, and I also believe that your teammates won't" Zhuang Fei knows very well what his disciple wants to say, for Mobley he has a deep bond here, just like Zhuang Fei did to him, he can let Anthony Piller leave in cold blood, but if Nash and Pierce leave that is something he absolutely cannot tolerate, Although Mobley is not as good as Pierce Nash in the team, in Zhuang Fei's heart, this is a player who has been polished by himself. This is a player who really belongs to him, just like Zhuang Fei blames himself for being powerless, Zhuang Fei knows that Mobley will also blame himself. For Zhuang Fei, he doesn't want his players to be like this, even if he has left him.

"By the way, Catino, can you tell me which team wants you to be the centerpiece?" Zhuang Fei changed the topic with a strong smile in order to make Mobley feel better. Mobley looked at the bitter smile on Zhuang Fei's face, and his heart darkened again, he really didn't want anyone on the team to be unhappy because of him.

"It's the Raptors, they want me to be the boss of the team" Mobley didn't mean to hide it, and even more so for the person in front of him, the Raptors returned to rebuild again because the team was going to send away Jamison, and even if Glen Les Glen Les age was ushered in, it could only attract the box office rather than become the future of the team, it can be said that in the Raptors, Glen Les and Mobley will be the double core, the double boss. …,

"In this way, the Raptors are indeed a good place, there should be a good development, Catino, although you left the Timberwolves, but I want you to remember that you are my proud disciple, I don't want the disciple I value to fall to other teams, do you understand what I mean" Zhuang Fei suddenly looked at Mobley seriously, Mobley was not afraid of Zhuang Fei's sudden seriousness, but was a little moved in his heart, Zhuang Fei still cared about him, even if he had left.

"Coach, don't worry, I won't discredit you," Mobley said with a choked voice.

"That's right, I believe you" Zhuang Fei smiled again and nodded.

"Hmm" Looking at Zhuang Fei's face of trust, Mobley once again had an extremely strong regret in his heart, if it was possible, he really didn't want to leave Zhuang Fei.

"Am I going to be separated from the coach forever" Mobley was conflicted, he didn't know how he left Zhuang Fei's office, but he knew that he was really in pain.

Looking at Mobley's back, Zhuang Fei also sighed in his heart.

"Maybe this is the NBA, there is really a lot of helplessness"

But when he thought of the raptor Zhuang Fei, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Hmph, Raptors, right, digging the corners of the wall actually dug up my team, don't you want to rebuild? I will let you rebuild year after year" (Your support is my greatest motivation.) )
