"Mr. Zhuang, good morning"

"Good morning"

Zhuang Fei smiled and said to the hotel cleaner who greeted him, every time Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves come to Los Angeles to play an away game, they will enter this hotel, and it can be said that all the staff here are familiar with Zhuang Fei. They were even familiar with Zhuang Fei's habit of getting up at what time, so Zhuang Fei came together and the cleaner came in after washing, without giving Zhuang Fei a little abrupt.

"Mr. Zhuang, are you going to have coffee?"

"yes, you know it's my habit"

Zhuang Fei nodded with a wry smile and said, and seeing Zhuang Fei like this, the hotel staff also felt a little funny, everyone in the hotel knew that the first thing Coach Z did when he got up in the morning was definitely not to go to the restaurant but to be in a daze in the café for half an hour, and many people found it interesting for the current 'quirk' of the NBA's hottest head coach.

Now the time is May 26th, Zhuang Fei and his Timberwolves have come to Los Angeles with two consecutive wins, this year's division finals are a little tight in the time arrangement, mainly because there are too many tie-breaks in the previous games, which also makes the league have no buffer time when arranging matchups, the second game between the Timberwolves and the Lakers is May 24, and the third game is May 26, the time interval is only 2 days, if it is in previous years, the general time interval of this re-changing court game is three days.

It can be said that all future games between the Timberwolves and Lakers will be played every two days, and such a schedule is extremely tight for the playoffs. This also makes it difficult for the away team to get used to the environment, after all, there is certainly not much time to acclimatize.

"Stephen, why are you still holding a tactics book?"

When Zhuang Fei came to the hotel café, there was basically no one in the whole café, because it was too early, and there were not many people like Zhuang Fei who would separate coffee and breakfast, in fact, these two things can be done together in the restaurant. This is also the reason why many people think that Zhuang Fei's habit is a quirk, and Zhuang Fei generally does not argue with other people's opinions. There is nothing to argue about this kind of thing, quirks are quirks, but few people will know that Zhuang Fei likes to stay in a quiet place and empty his mind after getting up every morning. There is no need to think about anything, or to be in a daze or read the newspaper while in a hotel in the United States. The café is quietest in the morning, when everyone else is crowded in the restaurant.

Others may not know about Zhuang Fei's habit, but as a disciple of Zhuang Fei for six years, Stephen Green is very clear, and this kid has been learning Zhuang Fei's habit recently, according to this kid's words, he wants to be on par with Zhuang Fei in everything in the future, including Zhuang Fei's living habits. For Green like this, Zhuang Fei just smiled and didn't care, so at this time, in the eyes of the outside world, the assistant coach of Coach Z was also 'infected'.

"Well, I now find myself still a little confused about some things about the triangle offense, and my mind is a little confused"

Green was a little fascinated when he read the book, and when he came back to his senses, Zhuang Fei was already standing by his side. Originally, the assistant coach wanted to get up quickly but was held down by Zhuang Fei with a smile, and then Zhuang Fei's assistant coach said helplessly, not long ago, he was given a task to let him be very familiar with the tactics of triangle offense, not only theoretically, but also to be able to train this set of tactics like Mark Allen, the current head coach of Wake Forest University, which is a challenge for Green. In fact, he was also very familiar with this set of tactics when he was in college, and he was personally involved in it at that time, so he originally thought that this was a relatively easy thing to do, but now it seems that it is completely different, and now he is a little upset with this set of tactics that is currently the most touted in the United States, and recently Bull. Wake Forest's previous game videos have not been watched less, but they just can't summarize some ideas, so at this time, Green is also thinking about this matter, and he will hold the tactical book written by Zhuang Fei when he goes anywhere to do anything, which has a very detailed analysis of the triangle offense, and Zhuang Fei's analysis is very popular in the eyes of professionals, and even some non-professionals can see something, but even so Green feels that he is very struggling. …,

That half-understood feeling is too torturous.

"Don't be too anxious about this kind of thing, sometimes the harder you work, the worse the effect" Zhuang Fei looked at Green who was a little depressed and said with a smile, at this time Green is even if he is drilling the horns of the bull, there is some taste that is not fast enough, Zhuang Fei also understands Green's current thoughts, for the task assigned by himself, his own students absolutely hope to be able to complete it as quickly and best, and the degree of persistence is no worse than his own, in this point of character Green can become a big tool, plus this kid's personality charm is also full, Russia's small forward Kirilenko was confused by this kid, and Jazz head coach Sloan is now extremely embarrassed. It can be said that Green, who has these two extremely rare qualities, has absolutely no problem becoming an NBA coach as long as he is supported by Zhuang Fei, and the dynasty system has an A+ rating for his potential, which shows that his professional knowledge and talent are also very perfect, so in Zhuang Fei's opinion, this is the embryo of a perfect head coach, and Zhuang Fei is now happy to carve him.

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me, of course, you can ask Allen," Zhuang Fei sat down lightly and took a sip of the coffee that the waiter had just brought and said, and Green also nodded slightly helplessly, if he could, the assistant coach really hoped that he could solve the matter alone.

"By the way, coach, judging from the previous two games, it seems that you have cracked the triangle attack, why do you want me to study it? The limitations of this tactical system are too great, and in my opinion, running and shooting is more simple and clear," Green asked with some curiosity, since Zhuang Fei has played two consecutive games against the Lakers at home, all media experts in the United States believe that Zhuang Fei has found a way to deal with the triangle offense, and this method is one-on-one marking. Don't give the Lakers any vacant chances, in fact, some people have used this method to deal with the triangle offense before, but most of them have given up halfway, and the effect is extremely poor, even several times worse than the effect of the triangle offensive core, but the same method has another completely different effect in the hands of Coach Z, which also surprises many experts.

"Cracked the Triangle Attack?" Zhuang Fei took a deep look at Green and continued: "I didn't crack any triangle offense, the Timberwolves were able to win the first two games at an absolute time, and my tactics just took advantage of these days." In fact, in my opinion, my response method has failed," Zhuang Fei finally sighed, which made Green extremely puzzled.

"Failure? How is it possible" Green looked at Zhuang Fei with some surprise, can he still win if his tactics fail?

"The Lakers shot just 25 percent from the field in the first two games. Wally's shooting percentage is 30 percent, and the rest of the Lakers players except O'Neal are shooting only 35 percent, which is why the Timberwolves won. Although there is a reason why I pinched Kobe and Wally, but with the strength of Kobe and Wally, no matter how much they are pinched, there will be no such low shooting rate, they will be like this more often because they have just played the Grizzlies in seven games, these people are still in the rhythm of the game with the Grizzlies, and I made the rhythm of the Timberwolves completely different from the Grizzlies, plus they are playing away again, which makes them almost completely uncomfortable, but if Kobe and Walley can increase their shooting percentage by even 5% in the first two games The Timberwolves lost, and in the first two games, it has been proved that it was a mistake for me to let O'Neal go," Zhuang Fei finished speaking, and then picked up his coffee again and took a light sip, while Green on the opposite side was completely stunned.

"Stephen, you can think back to Thiem and Vince when we were at Wake Forest, but there were a lot of teams that played 1-on-1, but what was the end result? Those teams have lost the worst without exception, don't forget that the two ultimate goals of the triangle attack are not only to open up space and create open space to attack, but also another goal," Zhuang Fei was a little lost in thought after finishing speaking. Apparently he remembered his days at Wake Forest, when the combination of Duncan and Carter was a big sweep in college, and not winning a game by twenty or thirty points was not a success, and that was the absolute king team, no matter how any other college team met Wake Forest, the first thing they thought about when they met Wake Forest was not how to win but to reduce the point difference. …,

"Is there another ultimate goal for the Triangle Offensive?" Green pondered again. Soon the answer came to my mind.

"The ultimate goal of the triangle attack is to give the ball to the strongest player on the team at the end?" Green finally said the answer in surprise, if this is the case, then the Lakers' offense has not failed at all, and they have indeed given the ball to the team's strongest player every offense.

"Yes, this is also the reason why Phil Jackson has not lost anything after the Lakers lost two games in a row, because the triangle offense is originally a one-on-one tactic, and the ultimate goal of other people's opening space or passing and cutting is to provide one-on-one opportunities for the tactical offensive core. Now the Timberwolves are almost giving away so many one-on-one single opportunities without the assistance of other Lakers players to O'Neal, Phil Jackson may be snickering right now, that Lakers head coach must now think I'm a fool and expect me to arrange the Timberwolves like this in the next game" Zhuang Fei said and finally smiled, and Green also smiled a little bitterly. If it is really according to what the head coach said, then this tactical arrangement is indeed a failure, and it is a bit of a waste of the roots.

"Coach, what are we going to do in the next game? Do you have any good ways to deal with it" Green looked at Zhuang Fei with some expectation and said, for the person in front of him, he has great expectations, in Green's heart, there is nothing that his head coach can't do. It's just that he's disappointed that this time he didn't get the answer he wanted.

"Doing that? I don't know, I said, the first two games we relied more on the right time and place, all my arrangements in the first two games were to maximize the time and place of the Timberwolves, and now we have lost the time and place, so all the previous tactics that match it will naturally be nullified, and now it is a new start, this kind of start is very painful" Zhuang Fei finally said with some distress.

"Is there no way?" Green finally asked a little unrelentingly, now that the Timberwolves are in a good situation and leading 2-0, he really doesn't believe that the victory in the last game will be the last victory for the Timberwolves.

"Solution? Of course there is, isn't this a one-on-one tactic that maximizes the abilities of a superstar? As long as the other party's superstar doesn't have an absolute advantage, it's okay," Zhuang Fei finally said with a smile, but as soon as Zhuang Fei finished saying this, Green was a little speechless. Let O'Neal have no absolute advantage on the offensive end? How is this possible, this method is equivalent to saying in vain, now there is really no one in the league who can block O'Neal one-on-one, just like no one blocked Jordan one-on-one before.

Zhuang Fei ignored Green, who was still in a daze at this time, now for the Lakers, one foot has stepped into the cliff, and at the same time, the foot that the Lakers stepped on the cliff is actually stepping on the head of the Timberwolves, as long as the Lakers exert themselves, the first to fall off the cliff is definitely the Timberwolves, of course, at this time, the Timberwolves are also holding on to the other foot of the Lakers, and the Lakers want to use their strength The Timberwolves can also drag the other foot of the Lakers off the cliff and then fall to death after resisting the Lakers...... On May 26, Los Angeles Staples Arena, which was the third game of this year's Western Conference Finals, the first two defeats did not change the enthusiasm of Los Angeles fans, and the scene was also full, and to the surprise of many people, those so-called star fans also wore the yellow cheering uniforms issued by the Lakers in this game, which has never appeared among these star fans in Los Angeles.

"The Timberwolves played well in the first two games, but the winner of this game must be the Lakers."

Zhuang Fei looked at Phil Jackson, who left with confidence after shaking hands with him, a little distracted, this old boy does have the capital to make a victory declaration after two defeats. (To be continued) RQ
