In the summer of 1998, it was no different for all Americans, and for the whole world, they were going crazy about the past World Cup in France. But at this time, the NBA came to a halt as expected.

It's a summer for football, it's a winter for basketball.

"That's no problem, coach," Garnett said to Zhuang Fei a little nervously. Now Zhuang Fei is taking him to Wake Forest University, and as a player who participated in the NBA draft in high school, he, like many other NBA high school students, has a big yearning for the NCAA. Just missed out on college, missed out on NCAA for a variety of reasons. Now Zhuang Fei brought him to Wake Forest, which made him nervous.

Zhuang Fei looked at the still young wolf king in front of him, smiled secretly in his heart, and then continued: "Didn't you ask me to bring you here, why do you want to retreat first now?"

Garnett listened to Zhuang Fei's teasing, a little embarrassed.

It's summer vacation now, and there is no one on the campus of Wake Forest University, but even if it's empty, Garnett can still feel Zhuang Fei's status here, because everyone who passes by Zhuang Fei is greeting Zhuang Fei with great admiration.

This is status, Garnett looked at the person in front of him who was not a few years older than himself and was full of envy and jealousy, and then thought of his own situation in the Timberwolves, which can be described as a betrayal, some things cannot be bought by money. Garnett was in a bit of a trance at this time.

However, Zhuang Fei naturally didn't know what Garnett was thinking.

"Kevin, here we are"

Garnett woke up from his thoughts, and he and Zhuang Fei came to a small training hall, which was a little chilly compared to the Timberwolves' training hall, but Garnett had already heard the sound of training coming from the arena, which made him wonder. He specially asked Zhuang Fei to take him to visit Wake Forest University today, and now that the school is on vacation, there should be no talent in the training hall, right? Do you also train in the summer vacation of college?

"Kevin, don't be scared, let's go in" Zhuang Fei reminded him and pushed the door in.

Now Wake Forest does have a holiday, and so do the players, but the difference is that there are a few more people in the Wake Forest training gym.

"Ah, the coach is back" James Posey was about to shoot, only to see the door of the training hall was pushed open, and a Chinese walked in, who this Chinese was naturally clear to him.

The training hall instantly became quiet, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door.

"I didn't expect that the people were quite uniform today" Zhuang Fei glanced at it slightly, Duncan, Carter, Szebiak, James Posey, Ragabel, and Zhuang Fei's five disciples were all there.

"Vince and I, Walley are back to school training, the club's arena is not available now, and now we have nowhere to go except here," Tim Duncan said with a smile. Carter and Szzerbiak nodded yes.

On the other side, James Posey and Rajabel also chimed in: "This is my last season with Raja in college, and we want to make sure we are as fit as possible."

In order to have a good draft pick, it is also right to work hard to maintain the state in the summer, Zhuang Fei nodded.

Looking at his five hard-working disciples, he was also very grateful, Zhuang Fei never had the arrogance to think that he had given these people glory, even if there was no Zhuang Fei, these people would not be buried, he was really proud that he made these players change their attitude towards basketball, and he made these players change their desire for honor. This is what Zhuang Fei is most pleased with. For these current or future millionaires, whether they can maintain their desire and passion for basketball is the most important.

"By the way, what is the coach doing here today?" Duncan asked curiously, Zhuang Fei should be on vacation now, now the NBA coaches are on vacation, and the players and owners are negotiating. There's nothing to do without a coach.

"Look at this next to me, I'm here for him today" Zhuang Fei smiled and introduced Garnett behind him to these players.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. 20 million" Deng said in surprise when he saw that it was Garnett.

Mr. 20 million? Garnett smiled wryly, since he signed that contract with the club, he has been used to the ridicule and banter of the media and players for his title, Duncan and Garnett know each other, and the two are also old rivals, Duncan was the most popular interior player last season, and the Timberwolves he led were blown up by the Spurs.

"Tim, don't be kidding, Kevin is embarrassed" Vince Carter said with a smile, Garnett's eyes lit up when he saw Carter, the two are in the same class, it can be said that they have known each other in high school, and they have participated in the All-Star Game together for high school students.

Seeing that Garnett got along well with others under Carter's recommendation, Zhuang Fei was also a little relieved.

"Tim, come here, I have something to explain to you"

"What, coach, you said let me be Garnett's teacher this offseason" Duncan's gaping mouth could be stuffed with two eggs.

"Yes, don't want to?" Zhuang Fei frowned and asked.

"No, you misunderstood" Duncan saw Zhuang Fei frowning, and hurriedly explained: "I have never taught anyone to play basketball, I'm afraid I can't do it well."

"There's nothing you can't do well, I need you to show all your strengths in front of Garnett, and then he will naturally learn from you slowly, you will always bully people, your task is to teach Garnett a hard lesson this offseason, the worse the lesson, the better" Zhuang Fei yīnyīn smiled, making Duncan feel a chill. Finally, Duncan nodded as if he didn't understand.

Garnett didn't know about this, but after hearing that Zhuang Fei asked Duncan to be his sparring partner in the offseason, Garnett was very happy, who is Duncan? Players in the league's double-one lineup, real superstars, such a sparring partner is not easy to find.

Let Garnett train with Duncan, let Duncan abuse Garnett, this is Zhuang Fei's idea to think twice, Zhuang Fei found that Garnett has been too far out of the Timberwolves in recent seasons, not so much a big forward as a small forward on the inside, such Garnett is not what Zhuang Fei wants, as far as he knows, Garnett doesn't seem to like to push the position inside. In Zhuang Fei's tactics next season, Garnett's role on the inside will be very important, a bit similar to Duncan's optimus when he was in Wake Forest. But for Garnett, who is very competitive and very conceited, direct preaching may not have any effect, it is better to let him experience the gap between him and Duncan now, so that he will catch up in the future.

He never doubted Garnett's talent to develop into a player like Duncan

"This is the Joel Veterans Memorial Arena."

Zhuang Fei left after bringing Garnett here, as the head coach of the NBA, he now needs to avoid suspicion and can't have too much contact with the players, so most of the current NBA head coaches are on vacation, and Zhuang Fei is no exception.

So the task of getting acquainted with Vic Forest naturally fell to Duncan and them, as young people of similar age, they had a lot of topics, and they became familiar with it as they chatted.

As the home of Wake Forest, the Joel Veterans Memorial is naturally a must-visit for Garnett.

"It's a lot shabby compared to the NBA's arena," Duncan said, and Garnett nodded, it was indeed a little worse.

"But the atmosphere in this arena isn't bad at all," Carter said with a little reminiscence.

"yes, the crazy shouts of the 15,000 fans, and the arrival of the demon king that makes the hairs stand on end, it's really interesting," Szebiak added.

Hearing the arrival of the Demon King Szebiakti, Garnett also laughed, and no one in the United States basketball fans did not know this song touting Zhuang Fei.

"Looks like this arena is going to change its name next year, you know?" Ragabel smiled mysteriously.

"Name change?" Carter and Duncan looked at Ragabel curiously.

"That's what I heard from Coach Bill the other day, the principal intends to change the name of the arena to the ZF Memorial Arena for the first game of the new season, and the school board of directors agreed, you see the black cloth is the bronze statue of the coach," Ragabel said and pointed forward.

The news shocked Carter and Duncan.

"You're all going to have to come back, Vince, Wally, your jerseys are going to be retired that day."

"Jersey retirement?" Carter and Szebiak murmured, the excitement on their faces clearly visible. Duncan's shirt was retired last year, and when all the Wake Forest players were envious, it was hard to believe it was their turn.

While these Wake Forest players were talking about their energy, Garnett was a little gloomy.

The name of the arena and the retirement of the jersey are all honors, if I retire one day, will the Timberwolves also retire their jerseys? This made Garnett, who had never won any honors, hungry for honor like never before.

Man is a strange animal, and there is always a fine line between assimilation and degradation.
