Chapter 208: Pit Fall Reward and Struggle Heart

。 Minnesota is one of the coldest places in the United States in winter, and at this time there are very few people who go out early in the morning, and it is rare to see pedestrians on the street, but today is a little different, and the outside of Minnesota's training arena is full of people carrying cameras, holding microphones, and then wrapping themselves tightly, these people are undoubtedly reporters from major media outlets in Minnesota across the United States.

There is no doubt that these people are here to block the Timberwolves players, usually Zhuang Fei has strict rules, the team's training hall is not allowed reporters to enter, and when to be interviewed, when to open the media day, these Zhuang Fei has also formulated a strict schedule, generally these reporters are in accordance with Zhuang Fei's system, and usually the Timberwolves do not have any major events, so everything is very orderly, but this time is different, today is not a media day, nor is it an open day, According to Zhuang Fei's request, these reporters can neither enter the training hall nor enter the Timberwolves' media room, so now if the players who want to visit the Timberwolves can only block the door of the Timberwolves training hall, which directly causes such a grand occasion today.

"I really didn't expect the Timberwolves to be so popular this year, one team with three All-Stars, this is really against the sky," a middle-aged reporter stomped his feet a little bored and said, this ghost weather made him very unhappy.

"Yes, Coach Z's influence is too great, I heard that forty percent of the votes in this All-Star vote came from China, and in the end Duncan was almost replaced by Pierce, if this is the case, there will be 4 Timberwolves players in the All-Star" waited for the reporter to finish. Others chimed in.

Just as these reporters were chatting hotly, they soon saw the Timberwolves players appear on the street outside the training hall almost at the same time, and these Timberwolves players usually come to the training gym an hour early, and everyone is the same.

"Why are there so many people around today?" The Timberwolves players were a little stunned when they watched such a large group of people surrounding them, and they were surrounded by this stunned kung fu.

"Wang, congratulations on joining the All-Star lineup. But do you think you have what it takes to be an All-Star? ”

"Kevin, Steve, this is your first All-Star. Is there anything you would like to say?"

"Paul, isn't it a pity that you lost to Duncan in the end"

For a while, with the gossip of these reporters. These Timberwolves players finally understood what was going on. Although happy and happy, but these Timberwolves players did not intend to make a tirade here, these people said a few words and then pushed away these reporters, and then ran into the training hall in embarrassment, it can be said that for a while the Timberwolves once again became the focus of the American sports world, and at this time Zhuang Fei was sitting in his office in a daze.

"Is this the reward for this mission?" Zhuang Fei looked at the three new items in the inventory and was a little distracted, he didn't know how to describe his current mood, do you want to say happy? But he was a little disappointed, because these three things were not what he wanted now.

Item: Triangle Attack illustration

Description: Using this item allows a coach to comprehend the essence of the Triangle Attack, and can only be used by the host team's coach. Minimum Usage Requirements: A-level Instructor.

Zhuang Fei played a triangle offense when he was in Wake Forest, and Zhuang Fei wanted to continue to play triangle offense after coming to the Timberwolves, but he gave up for various reasons, the most important of which was that his assistant Mark Allen in Wake Forest was unwilling to come to the NBA, which also led to Zhuang Fei not being able to find a coach who could triangle offense and train triangle offense. In the end, he retreated and found the running and bombing coach D'Antoni, for Zhuang Fei, of course, he prefers the triangle attack, after all, the triangle attack once made him invincible, he is very emotional about this set of tactics, but now the team has sharpened the running and bombing into a synthetic type, and this tactical diagram is a bit chicken. Of course. Although Zhuang Fei can't use it now, there is no doubt that this is a good thing, and this is also a golden quality thing. …,

"It's good that this thing appeared earlier" Zhuang Fei turned off the introduction of the triangle attack diagram, and then opened another item, this item is also of golden quality, and the name makes Zhuang Fei very painful.

Item: 'Looks like Jordan' growth card

Description: After using this card on a player, the personality of the player will become more and more like Jordan, use requirements: host player only, position requirements: sf/sg

"Nima, it's really 'looks like Jordan'" Zhuang Fei smiled bitterly after reading this introduction, originally he had just received the notice of the completion of the task and opened the inventory when he saw the words Jordan's growth card, but his heart was beating wildly, Zhuang Fei has always opened the inventory when he is okay and drooled in a daze at the Isaiah growth card, the growth card is too rebellious, if you really get the Jordan growth card, then the task is really worth it, but in the end Zhuang Fei found that this growth card is just an impostor, You can only let the player develop like Jordan in one aspect, not develop Jordan in all aspects. In Zhuang Fei's view, this is also a chicken rib, and now the Timberwolves' outside players have no flaws, and they don't need to be like Jordan's character, in Zhuang Fei's opinion, Jordan's personality is not suitable for the Timberwolves at present.

"Why is Phil Jackson's mission reward so messy" Zhuang Fei opened the last item and despised Phil Jackson a little in his heart, this thing is too weird. This thing is in the shape of a golden 'heart', not a card or a potion.

Item: David Stern's Love

Description: A single-use item, with unknown effect.

"David Stern's love? Isn't this the godfather's love" A cold sweat broke out in Zhuang Fei's head, although the description of the dynasty system was not detailed, but Zhuang Fei could clearly know what this was from the literal meaning of the name, and then look at the disposable items in the description, it was thought that it could only be used in a game.

"If this thing is used properly, it is really possible to have a huge effect," Zhuang Fei thought about it for a while, and said secretly, this thing is also the only thing that Zhuang Fei can use at present, and it can be regarded as the only direct gain of this mission.

"The reward for this mission is really too bad. It's not as useful as Coach K's prayers," Zhuang Fei felt a burst of loss in his heart after reading these things.

When Zhuang Fei left his office and went to the team's training hall, the Timberwolves players were chatting happily together, obviously these people were talking about the All-Star just now, for most players in the NBA, the All-Star is a dream, such as Nash, he only thought in a dream that he could enter the All-Star, which is unthinkable in reality.

When these players saw Zhuang Fei coming in. Disperse immediately, because it's training time, and the team's trainer has arrived. However, D'Antoni and Green also knew that today's situation did not force these excited players to immediately put into training, but Zhuang Fei is different, in the hearts of these players, Zhuang Fei is more fierce than a tiger. Especially after the start of the season, Zhuang Fei's training is extremely demanding, and it would be really bad if Zhuang Fei saw them lazy. However, to the surprise of these Timberwolves players, Zhuang Fei didn't seem to be angry, and he was smiling all the time.

"It seems that everyone is in a good mood, but now is the training time, and there is time after the training" Zhuang Fei said with a smile, these players were too hard some time ago, Zhuang Fei now doesn't want to force them to train strictly and then maintain their condition, it doesn't matter if they are a little slack in training. Seeing that Zhuang Fei didn't mean to blame, these Timberwolves players also relaxed. They were all wondering if the coach was happy to be an All-Star head coach.

"Paul. Don't be disappointed now, although I didn't enter, I think the substitutes still have a chance," Zhuang Fei smiled and looked at Paul Pierce on the side and said. …,

"Coach, I know it's good to have three people in our squad," Pierce said with a pretended smile. However, Zhuang Fei could clearly see the look of loss on his face, after all, it was only a little bit worse, and as a young player, he attached great importance to this kind of thing, but Zhuang Fei did not break it but nodded lightly, and then Zhuang Fei looked at Wang Zhizhi, facing Zhuang Fei's sudden gaze. Wang Zhizhi was a little apprehensive.

"The others continue to train, Wang Zhizhi come with me"

In the end, Zhuang Fei stared at Wang Zhizhi and then turned to leave, while the other Timberwolves players patted Wang Zhizhi on the shoulder with sympathy.

"Wang, it's going to be fine, the coach is in a good mood now"

For a player, what is the biggest dream to enter the NBA, many people will say to become the next Jordan, the next Magic, the next Bird, this is the purpose of these players entering this highest stage of basketball, which is to challenge themselves. But for the other group, they may have come with this purpose in mind, but eventually had to give up on those dreams.

Among these players, Wang Zhizhi is one of them, why did he come to the NBA? He asked himself the answer to this question countless times, and his answer was very clear, that is, to challenge the limits of his basketball, that is, to challenge the best basketball in the world, in China or Asia can no longer make him full of passion, but when he stepped into the NBA, he found that he could not move forward according to the goals he set for himself, and he could not challenge himself at all now, because when he stepped on the land of the United States, he found that he was no longer fully representing himself, He is burdened with the expectations of hundreds of millions of people behind him, what kind of player he becomes, what kind of player he must be, he has lost himself now, he is no longer playing for himself, how can a player who has lost himself challenge himself?

In the beginning, all the people behind him hoped that he could play in the Timberwolves, just play the game, just be able to play for Zhuang Fei, as long as he doesn't embarrass Zhuang Fei and don't embarrass the country, he will complete the task, he has done a good job at this point, it should be said that he is very good, and now he has gained a firm foothold in the Timberwolves, but when he gained a foothold, he found that the requirements of those behind him have changed again, they are no longer satisfied with him now just to become a substitute, and now they need him to become the Timberwolves, Even the main players, Wang Zhizhi is a little powerless for this.

He doesn't hate the people behind him who make him lose himself, because these people are looking forward to him no matter what, and these people have been firmly supporting him, and even made him an All-Star player, which is the highest goal he once dreamed of, in his heart, his highest goal to challenge himself is to become one of the best players in the NBA, and then stand on the All-Star stage like Jordan, but now this goal has been achieved so quickly. Everything he has now is not up to him, he is being pushed all the time, and the path he is taking now is completely different from the path he designed.

Even some time ago, his agent team actually told him to let him put pressure on Zhuang Fei, which was definitely not the way he wanted to go, but now he has no way to choose by himself.

"Dazhi, why aren't you happy to be an all-star" Zhuang Fei looked at Wang Zhizhi, who was sitting in front of him with a sad face, and said with a smile, for this Chinese compatriot, Zhuang Fei has always had a sympathetic mentality in his heart, and many times he can't control himself at all.

"Coach, do you think I should be happy?" Wang Zhizhi thought for a while and said with a wry smile, which also made Zhuang Fei a little stunned, and the prepared language could not continue. Just when Zhuang Fei was silent, Wang Zhizhi continued: "Coach, I think you came to me this time should be about me, in fact, I know that I don't have the strength to be a team now, Jermaine is much better than me, this all-star vote is not a reflection of my strength, I don't like such an all-star, so the coach doesn't have to think about my affairs at all"

"In my mind, I wanted to be an All-Star eventually, which was my ultimate goal in the NBA, but now that I've achieved my goal, I realize that it's not what I got on my own path, it's not what I wanted."

Zhuang Fei silently looked at Wang Zhizhi silently and did not make a sound, from Wang Zhizhi's demeanor, Zhuang Fei seemed to understand something, this Chinese insider has now completely lost his direction.

"Dazhi, you still know what you want now, right" Zhuang Fei suddenly asked, Wang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment and then nodded.

Zhuang Fei looked at Wang Zhizhi who was puzzled, but did not speak, but picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip of it, and then said in a firm tone that Wang Zhizhi could give him great confidence in his opinion.

"Dazhi, from now on, you just need to do what you originally thought when you entered the NBA, ignore anyone's opinions, and I will help you achieve all your goals" (To be continued)
