"Coach, how dare you say it?"

In Zhuang Fei's office, Stephen Green looked at Zhuang Fei, who was really drinking coffee with a comfortable face, and said helplessly, he didn't know that Zhuang Fei said such things at the press conference yesterday.

Shut down the media?

I am afraid that now in the whole United States, only this Chinese in front of him said such a thing, for this self-proclaimed democratic, open country everything is about freedom, although many people know that the American standard version of this value is nonsense, but they have not said it directly like Zhuang Fei, it is obvious that this sentence is completely angered by a lot of American media, the next day almost all the American media are criticizing Zhuang Fei's sentence, Even the United States Today, which has a very good relationship with Zhuang Fei, did not come out to defend Zhuang Fei at this time, obviously everyone knows that this is not the time to defend, Zhuang Fei himself knows, and now he is just drinking coffee in his office and reading the articles scolding himself in the New York Times.

"Stephen, this newspaper says that I am an uncivilized individual from an uncivilized country and an uncivilized nation, and according to the laws of the United States, I can sue them for racial discrimination," Zhuang Fei took the New York Times in his hand and waved it to Green, at this time Green was also stunned, but when he thought that what Zhuang Fei said just now was indeed a remark that constituted racial discrimination.

"Well, that seems so," Green said with a slight nod.

"That's fine, Stephen, help me find the team's lawyer" Zhuang Fei still smiled and looked at Green and said, Zhuang Fei's breezy Yan appearance made Green startled.

"Coach, are you here for real?" Green asked, somewhat stunned.

"Of course. Let's go" Zhuang Fei smiled again and waved his hand to him, Green also nodded helplessly, Zhuang Fei didn't want to get any benefits from the New York Times, just to be able to disgust the New York Times, of course, there is also the taste of shifting focus.

Recently, the media's excessive attention to the Timberwolves has made the team very uncomfortable, and Zhuang Fei has always wanted to change this situation. That's why I just said such undemocratic things in a so-called democratic country yesterday, Zhuang Fei is not an American, and even if he says such a 'big rebellion', it will only be a fine at most. From now on, it seems that Zhuang Fei's diversion of attention is actually quite effective, and now the media is really not focusing all the attention on the Timberwolves and Minnesota.

It's Dec. 28, and the Timberwolves are on their home court against the SuperSonics, who are eighth in the West this year. This game is a back-to-back game for the Timberwolves, this season's SuperSonics are actually quite wronged, originally this season they poached Lewis and Gorilla at almost zero cost, plus the team's original super point guard Gary Payton and first-class interior Weinbeck, it can be said that this team can be very competitive even in the strong West, at the beginning of the season, those experts in the league even asserted that the strength of the SuperSonics this season can enter the top four in the West, and even rank fifth in the power rankings, A lot of people are looking forward to this team, but the game is going on so far. This team still hasn't shown what they should have, still struggling on the edge of the playoffs like last season, and is getting farther and farther away from the so-called top four in the West, and Payton, Wenbeck before the start of the season. The three highly anticipated combinations of Gorilla Ewing have also performed poorly this season, Payton is still stable, Winsbeck is becoming more and more alcoholic, and his physical condition is getting worse and worse, and Ewing is also leaving New York and really getting old, and his contribution to the team this season is also limited. It is the potential small forward Lewis who has been exchanged for the Timberwolves this season has performed well this season, as he has averaged 17 points per game in his third season, although not as terrifying as Mobley, but the 21-year-old player shocked everyone with the potential he showed, that is, because of Lewis's outburst, the SuperSonics barely ranked eighth in the West, and even recently it was rumored that the SuperSonics intend to renew Lewis with a contract of 10 million this season. …,

Of course, for many people, the recent situation of supersonic is not good, which is also true, but another nickname of supersonic makes Zhuang Fei a little chilled.

The SuperSonics have always been known as the 'Timberwolves killer', every time the Timberwolves meet this team Payton, they will inevitably explode, Nash and the Timberwolves' outside line will inevitably be blown up, and the Timberwolves will often upset and lose to the SuperSonics.

Like the last game Mobley will come, this time Lewis also received his own championship ring, this game Zhuang Fei did not let Wang Zhizhi and Lewis bombard, but used the strongest lineup of the Timberwolves, which is also Zhuang Fei's emphasis on supersound.

The departure of Lewis and Mobley did make the Timberwolves' second team strength drop a notch, Ginobili and Crawford's cooperation is not tacit, at least there is no chemistry like Mobley and Ginobili, the main reason is that Crawford is too sticky, so the Timberwolves' second lineup is also a bit of the same nerve knife temperament as Crawford, but what surprised many people again is that Zhuang Fei actually used the young guard Reed again in this game, and the guard still continued the performance of the last game, It's even a lot better than the last one.

Reed is definitely an outlier for the SuperSonics and the Timberwolves, Reed didn't score a lot in this game, just a measly 7 points, but the final score of this game was 108-102, the Timberwolves won by 6 points, Reed's seven points were scored when the game was critical, and there were even 2 key shots. And the defender's playing time is no longer mostly garbage time like the last game, and he is still on the field in some important stages of this game, while the defender who has been criticized for being a mess both offensively and defensively is very active in both offense and defense in this game.

Of course, Reed is only a dispensable role player for the Timberwolves after all, even because in the past Mr. Zero was the focus of the United States, but the focus of this pure hype came and went quickly, and now there are really not many people who care about such a role, and now Zhuang Fei is really very satisfied with Reed's current performance, and now Reed's ability value is basically changing every day, if the previous changes are constantly declining, then now they are constantly rising.

Before this game, Reed's ability value was 72, but after this game, Reed's ability value became 75, plus three points for a game, which is something that cannot happen in the dynastic system.

So in Zhuang Fei's heart, Reed's first wonder in the dynasty system is absolutely deserved, in fact, Zhuang Fei also knows that Reed's ability value at his peak in the past was definitely higher than 75, otherwise he would not have been selected for the NCAA first team back then, and now Reed's ability value is just the same as the previous decline, Reed is just slowly getting back what he originally had.

So now Zhuang Fei is very concerned about how much Reed's ability value can rise before it stops. The next game after this game is the game of the century against the Lakers at 0:00 a.m. on January 1, 2001, and this game is also a game that can decide the first place in the league, if the Timberwolves can beat Los Angeles away, then the Timberwolves will regain the lost first place in the league. And Reed may be one of the key figures in the next battle of the century, and it will not be easy for the rest of the Timberwolves to beat the Lakers on the road, and now the Timberwolves really need Reed's contribution.

The Timberwolves ended the game with the SuperSonics on December 18 and did not play before the arrival of the century, so that the Timberwolves also had a 3-day rest, and for Zhuang Fei, the Timberwolves players are now staying in Minnesota to rest, and he needs to fly to Los Angeles with Scarlett in advance, and now the movie Sweet Life starring him and Scarlett is ready to premiere on December 29, and after the premiere, it will be completely released nationwide at 0:00 on New Year's Day in 2001. …,

In fact, because Zhuang Fei's recent news is too hot, so the film owner Warner and the investor can Coca-Cola are extremely looking forward to this movie, Warner hopes to increase the box office of the movie with Zhuang Fei's current news effect, and Coca-Cola is not interested in the box office, they care about the advertising effect, it is obvious that Zhuang Fei is currently the NBA's most advertising player, so this premiere Warner and Coca-Cola did not do anything hastily, but celebrated in almost the grandest way in Hollywood, At this premiere, Zhuang Fei saw a lot of first-class movie stars at the scene, such as Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, and some basketball stars such as Jordan.

Zhuang Fei is the first time to participate in such an event, naturally he will seem a little uncomfortable, he is a little envious that Carter has a game that does not have to attend, but after the movie is finished, Zhuang Fei threw all the regrets out of his mind, this is the first time Zhuang Fei has watched this movie, this is a very good movie, at least in Zhuang Fei's opinion, it is better than the air slam dunk, this is a movie that combines air slam dunk and Forrest Gump, inspirational, funny, and it doesn't look abrupt at all.

"Mr. Zhuang, this is one of the best basketball movies I've ever seen, it's also one of the best movies I've ever seen, it reminds me of Forrest Gump, this is a movie with a soul, your acting skills are excellent, you can't see a newcomer at all, maybe I can see you at this year's Oscars"

This is a sentence that Tom Hanks deliberately found Zhuang Fei to say after the end of the movie, which made Zhuang Fei a little stunned there.

Obviously, this is the highest evaluation of Zhuang Fei, the highest evaluation that Tom Hanks can give. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
