"Zhuang, this is a fax from the league" Kevin McHale came to Zhuang Fei's office and handed a form to Zhuang Fei, now the first round of the Timberwolves playoffs has ended, and their next game is on May 17, which also makes the Timberwolves a little idle recently, Zhuang Fei and the coaching staff have nothing to do except watch Jazz videos and games, and McHale is even more idle, after Zhuang Fei came here, he no longer feels like a general manager.

"Is this the selection of the best defensive player" Zhuang Fei looked at the fax and asked suspiciously.

"No, this is the selection of the best defensive team, the best defensive player is selected by media reporters, so you just need to pick ten players who you think are the best defender and divide them into two teams, of course, you can't choose your own team players" McHale explained, sometimes he is very helpless, Zhuang Fei is very good, he also respects Zhuang Fei, but sometimes Zhuang Fei is a little "lack of professionalism".

"I see" After listening to McHale's explanation, Zhuang Fei nodded and began to think, he was thinking about the defensive players who had caused him great trouble this season. After thinking about it for a quarter of an hour, Zhuang Fei hadn't even started writing, and McHale had been standing quietly aside.

Zhuang Fei is very cautious, after all, this is the first time he has participated in the selection of players, which makes him feel a little responsible.

Finally, Zhuang Fei, who had been thinking for nearly half an hour, also began to write, and discharged 2 sets of lineups in one go. Defensive First Team: Center: Mourning, Forwards: Tim Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Guards: Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant; Defensive Second Team: Center: Mutombo, Forwards: Rasheed Wallace, Karl Malone, Defenders: Jason Kidd, Billups.

After writing this lineup, Zhuang Fei also breathed a sigh of relief, the ten people on it were written by him very seriously, and among these ten people, except for Mutombo, the others Zhuang Fei had fought against them. These people have indeed caused a lot of trouble for Zhuang Fei's team, not to mention Mourning, Duncan, these known defensive giants in the league, even Maddie, when playing against the Raptors this season, this young player is also very good at defending Pierce, making Pierce, one of the MVP candidates this season, extremely embarrassed, and Billups is also very good at restricting Nash, which can be said to be the best point guard in the league to defend Nash.

However, when Zhuang Fei handed over the list to McHale, he saw that McHale's face changed, and then asked Zhuang Fei very strangely: "Are you serious?"

This made Zhuang Fei very strange, would he think about it for half an hour if he wasn't serious, Zhuang Fei nodded very clearly and seriously, and in the end McHale didn't say anything, he went out with the fax.

The efficiency of the league is very outstanding, Zhuang Fei sent out the list in the morning, and the league announced the best defensive lineup and the best defensive player in the afternoon.

This season's best defensive player was taken away by the league's block king Mourning, who averaged 4 blocks per game this season and topped the NBA, and he deserved this award, but even if Mourning deserved it, there were many people who were aggrieved by Duncan, thinking that although Duncan's statistics were inferior, his defensive role in the team was no worse than Mourning. Among these aggrieved people is Zhuang Fei, in Zhuang Fei's heart, Duncan is definitely the best interior in the league at present, but it is also possible that the Spurs put him in the forward position and also limited his defensive role, which also made him regrettably lose to Mourning.

In the selection of the best defensive team, Zhuang Fei was even more surprised.

"No wonder McHale's face was so strange just now," Zhuang Fei said to himself with a wry smile as he held the newly transmitted fax paper.

The best defensive team selected by all NBA coaches this season is: First Team: Duncan, Mourning, Pippen, Payton, Garnett; The second lineup is: Mutombo, Malone, Kidd, PJ Brown, Eddie Jones. Zhuang Fei's key recommendation of Kobe, Maddie, Billups, and Rashid Wallace all failed.

"Of the ten, Duncan scored the most points, beating Mourning, and it seems that these peers are more in line with my standards than those media, but why don't they approve of Kobe Bryant's defense? Even Eddie Jones was on the list, Kobe Bryant was unexpectedly unselected, and Stephen Jackson didn't appear on the list, which is too strange" Zhuang Fei smiled wryly. Some for Kobe, Jackson they screamed.

"Hawkers, forget it, anyway, Garnett is on the list, and it can be regarded as something gained" Zhuang Fei looked at the new prompt of the dynasty system and added 200 dynasty points, and then thought about it and was relieved, everyone's standards are different, and naturally there will be a lot of differences, which can also be said that they still have flaws, and they are not enough to gain everyone's approval, if they are like Duncan and Moning, naturally no one will forget them

After the selection of the best defensive player, the three playoff games on May 14 also produced results, the Pistons, who were originally 0-2 behind, won two games in a row under the super play of Grant Hill, chasing the final score to 2-2, they and the Hawks will be in a life-and-death battle on the 16th, and the Miami Heat, who also had a life-and-death battle, they defeated the Knicks on the road, and Mourning, who had just won the best defensive player, froze the Knicks' core center Patrick Ewing, The final score also came back to 2-2 after falling behind 1-2, and regained the initiative and home advantage. In the last game between the Jazz and the Lakers, the Lakers, like the Pistons, also won 2 games in a row on their home court after 0-2, and the score was 2-2.

"I remember our second round was on May 17," Zhuang Fei asked Green, who was next to him.

"yes," Stephen Green nodded affirmatively.

This makes Zhuang Fei a little hard to believe, which means that no matter who wins the Lakers and Jazz on May 16, they will play back-to-back, and back-to-back to the home court of the Timberwolves.

"It's going to be so good for us," Stephen Green thought of the key point and shouted in surprise.

Zhuang Fei thought about it in his heart, the Lakers are okay back-to-back, after all, they are young and there is no problem, but what about the Jazz? The Jazz collapsed at the end of the regular season due to physical problems, and were finally overtaken by the Timberwolves.

"If our opponent is Jazz, then this is definitely the best choice," Zhuang Fei thought to himself.

On May 15th, the NBA playoffs were played two more games, and the away Spurs defeated the Grizzlies and made the score 2-2, Carter scored 41 points in this game, but shot only 9 of 25, while Duncan scored 39 points and 19 rebounds, and in another game, Iverson's 76ers defeated the Magic at home, Iverson scored 43 points again, and he also completed the "Black Seven" in his first playoff journey and advanced to the second round of the playoffs, in which he was luckier than Carter, And the race between him and Carter to score 40 points in a row in the playoffs continues.

On May 16, the Timberwolves' long-awaited opponent finally came out, and the Jazz defeated the Lakers 110-97 at home, eliminating the Lakers for the third consecutive year. And their next opponent is the timberwolves, who have been raising jīng for a long time.
