"It's so cold in this place."

It's only a little past six o'clock in the morning, but the Timberwolves' training hall is already full of people, this is the team's first training session this season, all the old players know Zhuang Fei's characteristics, Zhuang Fei will also come very early, and as for the new players, they are already very nervous now, even if Zhuang Fei does not come back, they will come to the training hall very early, of course, if they can leave a good impression on the team's head coach, it is the best.

"Minnesota certainly doesn't compare to the sunny beaches of Miami" Garnett glanced at Pierce, who was grinning next to him, Garnett knew that Pierce went to Miami to train in the summer, and every offseason Miami has the most NBA players and Las Vegas NBA players, and for these multimillionaires, these two places are extremely attractive.

"Kevin, you see, I'm not on vacation, look at me, I'm a lot stronger than last season," Pierce said and lifted his training shirt to reveal the neat row of abs on his lower abdomen. Garnett and the other Timberwolves players saw that Pierce's abs were in different shapes, Garnett nodded, while Nash and Lewis were envious, and O'Neal Jr. on the other side snorted coldly and disagreed. But because of this, the old players of the Timberwolves began to chat enthusiastically, and everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time and couldn't finish talking about it.

"By the way, those guys over there are newcomers, let's come over and get to know each other" Sam Mitchell motioned to Pierce to put down his clothes, and shouted to several players on the other side of the training hall, with Sam Mitchell's shout, Pierce Garnett They also stopped talking and looked at the new players, in fact, they also wanted to meet those new teammates, but those four people didn't seem to be very easy to contact, which also made them hesitate how to say hello.

Hearing Sam Mitchell's shout, Ginobili and Bowen passed without hesitation, and Xiao Ao hesitated for a while and passed, and finally Wang Zhizhi watched the three people pass, and he also followed. Mitchell's voice works pretty well.

"Jermaine, you're still the same" Garnett looked Xiao Ao up and down and said with a smile, Stephen Jackson also nodded slightly, they used to know each other at the McDonald's All-Star Game for high school students, and there was also a man named Kobe Bryant in their team at that time, it can be said that the group of people has a lot of tempers, Jackson remembers that O'Neal Jr. almost fought with Kobe Bryant during a routine training session.

O'Neal Jr. saw Garnett and Jackson talk about the past, which made his god soften a little, but he only softened Garnett and Jackson, the two old teammates, and still had a non-shaking expression towards the others, which made Pierce and Mobley next to Garnett frown very tightly.

Although O'Neal Jr.'s temper made the atmosphere a little awkward at this time, Bowen and Ginobili were not bad at all, and both of them were very humble now, but the other one was a little more difficult.

"Wang, you don't know English?" Looking at Wang Zhizhi, who was standing uneasy on the side, Nash asked with some curiosity, in fact, among these newcomers, the Timberwolves veteran players most want to know Wang Zhizhi, Wang Zhizhi is Chinese and the head coach of the team is a fellow countryman, no matter what, the head coach must look at him differently, so Wang Zhizhi is now in a very special position in the Timberwolves.

Wang Zhizhi can't speak English, because after he was selected by the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves hired him an English teacher, and he can only briefly introduce himself now. This also embarrassed him, he was originally a very shy person, plus the first time he came to the United States, he would inevitably feel unsteady and unfamiliar, so he was also another person who was difficult to integrate into the team after Xiao Ao, but he and Xiao Ao had different qualities

Zhuang Fei and D'Antoni came to the training hall at half past six, and when they saw the Timberwolves players gathered together, Zhuang Fei nodded in his heart. The arrival of Zhuang Fei and the coaching staff soon made the Timberwolves players find out. These people are also good friends with Zhuang Fei, so they haven't seen each other, so they are also very excited.

"Everybody is in good shape right now, Paul, Kevin and Rashad look a lot stronger"

"That's right, Coach, we're all doing what you tell us."

"Yes, Rashad that kid is still training with me this summer" Garnett said with a smile, according to Zhuang Fei's requirements, Garnett needs to gain a little more weight, he needs to attack with his back, and now Garnett has no problem attacking with his face frame, but his back singles are not good enough, although the run-and-bomb tactics are mainly based on the face frame, but the back is also indispensable, and the horn tactics with Nash and Garnett as the core have a sub-tactic that the two of them have no shooting opportunities after blocking and dismantling, Then Garnett needs to cut directly to the basket and play a back-to-back single, because Garnett does not have a strong back-to-back ability, so in the matchup with the Spurs last season, Garnett and the Timberwolves both lost an important weapon of their own. Of course, Zhuang Fei also has requirements, and Garnett's weight gain cannot be at the expense of his ability to move. As for Lewis, the playoffs last season were basically useless, and his confrontation ability was too poor, so Zhuang Fei gave him the task of practicing confrontation.

"Hmm" Zhuang Fei smiled and looked at these players who began to recall the summer training, and felt relieved, these are just the changes of the players on the surface, and their data are also changing in the evaluation of the dynasty system, such as Garnett, now his ability value has reached 92, and although Pierce is still 90, the offensive value has increased a lot, and Nash is the most improved among these players, because of the inheritance of the magic when losing to the Spurs, Nash's ability value soared directly to 85, A summer has passed and now it has reached 88, and it has almost touched the threshold of A-level players, of course, if you talk about progress, Lewis's progress is not less than Nash, this kid has been training with Garnett this year, his body is stronger than last season, and his ability value has reached 78, his talent is very good, but because his current ability is not high, he has grown faster. As for Jackson and Mobley, who already had 80 stats last season, now they are also 82.

"Jermaine, Manu, Bruce, are you still used to it in Minnesota," Zhuang Fei asked with a smile as he looked at the new players.

"Well, it's okay" Little O'Neill just nodded expressionlessly. Zhuang Fei didn't think it was wrong, this kid's ability value now has 83 and all the values are very average, shooting 78, offense 82, defense 80, physical talent: 85, originally Zhuang Fei saw his performance with the Spurs last season and once thought that this kid's ability value could reach more than 85, but now it seems that it is still a bit high, but even if it is only 83, Zhuang Fei is not too disappointed, which is enough to make up for the weakest position of the Timberwolves last season.

"Very good" In addition to Xiao Ao, Ginobili and Bowen both nodded vigorously, the Timberwolves arranged them very carefully, Ginobili is fine, he doesn't know the situation of other NBA teams, he is like this in the NBA, and the team has arranged all of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Bowen, who knows the current situation of the NBA, is very amazed, the treatment here is much better than Boston.

"Okay, let's train now, let's focus on training with the ball, and adjust the state"

"Dazhi, you come with me"

Although Zhuang Fei has admired Wang Zhizhi for a long time, today is the first time he has seen the future leader of the Chinese team since his rebirth.

Wang Zhizhi was very nervous when he saw Zhuang Fei bring him up alone, and he didn't know how to talk to Zhuang Fei after following Zhuang Fei all the way. The two came to Zhuang Fei's office in silence.

"Sit down, coffee or tea"

Zhuang Fei said with a smile that now he knows very well why Wang Zhizhi will fail in the NBA, and it is difficult for him to integrate into the team, which is also a common problem for international players.

"Dazhi, what do you think of these teammates of yours," Zhuang Fei said with a smile as he brought Wang Zhizhi a cup of coffee.

"It's okay, it's okay" Wang Zhizhi was a little uncomfortable, but recalling the behavior of the group of people just now, it should be said that it was okay.

Seeing him like this, Zhuang Fei also smiled noncommittally.

"You know, Dazhi, when you know the interests of all your teammates, it means that you have integrated into the team, if you just think that the NBA is the highest stage of basketball, there is only basketball here, and everything else is not important, then you are wrong, if you want to show your strongest strength in the NBA, you must have the help of your teammates"

Looking at Zhuang Fei, who suddenly became stern, Wang Zhizhi's heart was a little abrupt.

"Dazhi, your strength is very good, and I am also very optimistic that you can succeed in the NBA, but I still hope that you can be more proactive, in fact, Garnett, Pierce are very good people, Ginobili and Bowen are the same, they will not reject you, so there is no need to have too much pressure"

Wang Zhizhi nodded lightly, and Zhuang Fei didn't know if he would really do what he did.

"Dazhi, I'm very confused now, right? Bearing the name of China's first NBA player, before coming to the NBA, I think the leader should talk to you, let you play well in the United States, don't lose the face of the Chinese, you represent the expectations of China's 1.2 billion compatriots" Zhuang Fei's sudden words were transferred to Wang Zhizhi was extremely surprised.

"Coach, how do you know?" Wang Zhizhi looked at Zhuang Fei in surprise.

Seeing Wang Zhizhi like this, Zhuang Fei sighed in his heart, this can be regarded as a special Chinese sè, when Zhuang Fei was a player in the Zhejiang team before, he felt a huge pressure just by looking at the expectant eyes of his parents, not to mention this person who has carried the expectations of 1.2 billion people. The pressure is understandable.

"Dazhi, it's good to play well in the NBA, but don't have too much pressure, just follow my instructions and the coach's arrangement."

Looking at the back of Wang Zhizhi leaving, Zhuang Fei fell into deep thought, now the strength of the Timberwolves has improved a lot compared to last season, but there are still many problems in the team that need to be solved.
