Chapter 389: Best Rookie

(Ask for recommendation)

"Okay, that's the end of today's confrontation training, everyone take a break"

In the Boston training hall, after the Celtics players heard the head coach's shout, all the tense nerves relaxed, and then ran to the sidelines in twos and threes to pick up the energy drink and poured it into their mouths, until these players felt that their physical strength had recovered a little before sitting down directly on the side of the court. []

However, at this time, these players have more smiles on their faces than the fatigue after heavy training, and it seems that these people are in a good mood.

After the Boston Celtics defeated the mighty Milwaukee Bucks at home, Zhuang Fei clearly felt that the team's internal and external environment had changed drastically.

Now the Boston Celtics team training is mainly to divide the team into two teams to play a 'confrontation game', in other NBA teams in the season when there are few large-scale training games like Boston, and Boston's 'intra-team match' is to cooperate with Maddie's 'Carter training method', although the small forward's mentality has changed dramatically, but it is obvious that the small forward has not been able to complete any of the time' Carter's training method', many times the small forward is obviously only one step away, but he has never been able to push that step away.

So Zhuang Fei said that as long as Maddie can complete the Carter training method, then it is the day when the team officially starts the triangle offense, but from now it seems that there is still a need to wait for a while, although Maddie is now experiencing a bottleneck in training, but this small forward is not frustrated at all, and like him, the other players of the Boston Celtics have also changed from the previous anxiety to the current enjoyment, and the atmosphere between the whole Celtics players has also become harmonious.

"Yao, you are so powerful, you will be defeated every time you play against you, and I find that the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger," Oku sat on the sidelines with his hands on his knees and said a little lonely to the somewhat shy Chinese insider next to him. At this time, the Boston Celtics player next to him clearly sensed that the Turkish center was a little emotional. And the others sighed a little when they saw this situation.

"Huh. Memet, you know, Yao Ke was a player who beat me a year ago with the Timberwolves. In fact, in my opinion, Yao has not made much progress now."

Before Yao Ming could answer, little O'Neill on the side hugged Oku's neck, and at this time Yao Ming also smiled bitterly. Jackson on the other side showed a look of fascination, it was obvious that this guard remembered the days when he used to play practice games with the Chinese team in Minnesota, when the Timberwolves were abusing the Chinese team every day, except for Xiao Ao, who was being destroyed by the big Chinese man every day. Of course, the other Boston players naturally didn't know about the secret news about the Timberwolves and the Chinese team playing a practice game, so they all showed a puzzled expression, and it wasn't until Jackson explained that they suddenly realized.

"Yao. No wonder you're so adaptable to the NBA" Even Arenas, who is a little unsociable, was envious after hearing Jackson's explanation, although he was devastated by the Timberwolves every day, but the Timberwolves were NBA champions. It was the best team in the league at that time. Adapting to the NBA as a rookie is mainly to adapt to the strangeness and intensity of NBA games, how can you be unfamiliar with the NBA when you play with such a team every day? If you don't even fear the intensity of the game against the Timberwolves. So how many teams in the league are there enough to make him fearful? At this time, Arenas was a little jealous of his Chinese teammate.

And at this time, Yao Ming could only touch his head a little shyly and smile bitterly, he was very clear about his advantages, the reason why he performed so well at the beginning of the season was not at all like a rookie, most of them were because of this reason, of course, whenever he thought of this, the Chinese giant would subconsciously look at the other side of the team assistant coach who was talking to his own compatriot, without the help of that person, he would never have played like this after coming to the NBA. …,

"Yes, I'm really envious, today Yao Ke was named the best rookie of the week in the East, and now the rookie list is also the first high, more powerful than that Spaniard" Oku sighed again when he thought of this, as a European player Oku is very aware of the strength of that Spaniard, in his opinion, this year's best rookie will be the Spanish champion, but now it seems that it is not the case at all, and his teammate looks even stronger.

The current Boston Celtics have a good internal atmosphere, and although these people may not be close friends now, they can be regarded as extremely harmonious teammates.

And Zhuang Fei and Green also nodded slightly when they saw this scene, most of the current Celtics are young players, they all have a common language, and even the atmosphere in the locker room is more simple than that of the Timberwolves.

The Boston Celtics will stay in Boston for about 10 days after returning from New York, and the Boston Celtics will play three games in a row at home, and the opponents are not too strong.

Two days after the victory over the Bucks, on November 7, 2001, the Boston Celtics once again hosted the challenge of the Wizards, which was also the first time that Zhuang Fei had a direct conversation with the basketball god Jordan on the court.

The Wizards' record after Jordan's comeback this season is not stellar, and even a little bit worse than last season, and now the team has played five games in the past, with one win and four losses so far, and the team has lost four games in a row except for the Wizards' home win in the first game of the season.

It's clear that this team is a bit nondescript at the moment, especially the team's general manager and head coach D'Antoni really don't know what to do with Jordan's use, and this team's tactics are completely unplayable.

In fact, Zhuang Fei is very sympathetic to his assistant for this, there is no problem with the ability of this assistant, but he is a little unlucky, and he is always unable to get the players he wants.

The Wizards played away from home, and they lost four games in a row, even if the team had a big god to shake the court, but in terms of morale was still a little low, so the Boston Celtics gained a huge advantage in the first half of this game, and after the first half, the Boston Celtics had a 15-point lead, and after the second half, the Wizards obviously had some new changes.

Zhuang Fei obviously felt that the basketball god did not want to lose to himself, so he took over the game at the beginning of the second half, and the god was in quite good shape in this game, facing Jackson's defense in the second half, the god scored 46 points in the whole game, which was more than the total number of other Wizards players, and the Wizards only scored a total of 91 points in this game.

Although the great god is still very good on his own, it is obvious that he can't lead a team to win alone, and the Boston Celtics defeated the Wizards 105-91 at home to win three in a row.

The Boston Celtics have been very easy in recent times, and on November 9, after beating the Wizards on November 7, the Timberwolves once again hosted the Seattle SuperSonics, who are currently ranked 9th in the West.

The team left Gorilla Ewing in the summer, but left the team's three core Payton, Wenbeck and Lewis, Lewis this summer is a five-year, 40 million contract extension SuperSonic, last season the former Timberwolves player in the SuperSonics can contribute an average of 18 points per game, as if it has become the hope of the supersonic revival, but some of the disappointment of SuperSonics fans is that when the team's Lewis grows up, the team's other core Wenbeck is completely down, The former All-Star is getting more and more aggressive in alcoholics, and his form is becoming more and more unstable, and the reason why the SuperSonics are currently struggling so much is because of him, and now the SuperSonics' uniform team is rumored to be ready to trade the former All-Star's inside. …,

For Zhuang Fei, the outcome of this game is not very difficult to guess, and the Boston Celtics have enough advantages in this game, so before the start of this game, Zhuang Fei also easily invited Lewis, the new core of the supersonics, to have lunch together, and at lunch, Zhuang Fei can clearly feel that this forward player does not seem to be having a very good time now. Sometimes the NBA is like that, you get something and you lose something.

In this game with the SuperSonics, the Boston Celtics once again continued the team's high morale and hot form, and finally defeated the SuperSonics 101-93 at home, and Tracy McGrady played 30+10 data for the first time this season, and the Celtics' core forward scored 31 points and 11 assists in this game, and played 41 minutes, which can be said to be one step closer to the 30+15 data.

After beating the SuperSonics, the Celtics rested at home for five days, during which Zhuang Fei trained the young Celtics players more rigorously, and it was rare to stay at home for a long time during the game, so Zhuang Fei didn't want to waste it.

On Nov. 14, after a five-day break, the Boston Celtics won their fifth straight home game on a four-game winning streak, beating Reggie Miller's Pacers 98-90 at home.

After this victory, the Celtics' record has also become 6-2, and the team's ranking has quietly risen to third place in the East.

It's just that just when Zhuang Fei was rejoicing at Boston's five-game winning streak, his old club, the Minnesota Timberwolves, had a big event that shook the league.
