In this game, as the main force of the Timberwolves was replaced one by one, the game completely lost suspense, and at the same time that the Timberwolves replaced the main force, the Trail Blazers also replaced the main force, and the two sides ended this game full of regrets. After this game, all the deployments were disrupted by that fight, especially on the Trail Blazers side, Zhuang Fei obviously felt Dunleaw's unconvincing after the game

106-96, the Timberwolves won the Trail Blazers by 10 points at home, Zhuang Fei had expected that tomorrow's media would not seriously report the score of the game, but would hype up how dirty and chaotic this game was, and then the media who didn't like Zhuang Fei would use this incident to lash out at Zhuang Fei for being disciplined and indulging the players.

Even if it is not until tomorrow, Zhuang Fei probably won't be able to hide today, because Zhuang Fei and Dunleavy will go to the post-match press conference soon.

This is a competition of strong dialogue, when Zhuang Fei and Dunleavy came to the press conference, it was already black, and today whether it is Minnesota media or Portland media, there are a lot of them, of course, there are many other local media and some national media.

Zhuang Fei is a person who is admittedly very difficult to interview, if Zhuang Fei is in a bad mood, few media can pull something useful out of his mouth, but to the surprise of these media, Zhuang Fei seems to be in a good mood today, as if everything is normal in the arena.

"Congratulations, Zhuang, your team has won again and is once again in the top three in the West"

Zhuang Fei took a look and found that it was a reporter from the United States, and then smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly.

"It was a tough game today, the Trail Blazers are a very strong team, but we won in the end and I'm happy with the way our players are now, they're great, they're not affected by each other, they're doing what they were going to do."

After Zhuang Fei finished speaking, Dunleavy picked at the corner of his eyes, what does it mean to be influenced by the other party? Say this as if this fight was deliberately instigated by him, although the pioneer is the instigator of the incident, but what does it matter to me? Dunleavy was angry in his heart, he was uncomfortable after losing the game, but now he was even more angry when he was squeezed by Zhuang Fei like this, and his face immediately turned black.

Zhuang Fei's answer to the question of the United States did mean to whitewash Jackson and the Timberwolves, and the reporter from the United States also smiled and nodded tacitly. Of course, he understands what tomorrow's newspaper is going to do.

"Mr. Dunleavy, you were generally favored before this game, but in the end you lost the game and you were behind the whole game, especially your hesitation in the opening stages, your inaction after the team was suppressed, and the end loss of this game, do you have anything to explain about that?"

At the beginning of the press conference, these reporters were very restrained, trying to talk about today's game.

"Explain? I don't have any explanation, is it possible that I will have to take a timeout as soon as my team is down? If that's the case, 20 timeouts in a game isn't enough, so could you be professional when you ask questions? ”

Zhuang Fei shook his head while listening to Dunleavy's quibble, but Dunleavy didn't stop talking and continued.

"Our players in this game have a big problem in their thinking, they are too underestimated, the strength of the Timberwolves is underestimated, recently we are in good shape, the ranking is also very high, but the Timberwolves are the opposite, which also gives my players an illusion, the Timberwolves are just like that, but the fact is that the Timberwolves are very strong, I think no matter any team comes here in the future, you think, which teams have lost here, not only our Trail Blazers, but also the Spurs, and the Lakers, I would like to remind the teams that will play here in the future to be careful that they will not be able to leave the target center without giving 100 per cent of their strength."

Zhuang Fei was stunned, is this old boy killing? In fact, this is Zhuang Fei to n

A is not very familiar with the reason, n

A coach rarely belittles his opponent after losing, isn't belittling his opponent belittled himself? This is also the difference between them and Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei doesn't care about these, of course, they will definitely have an element of killing.

"And what about Jim Jackson and Ryddle?" A reporter sitting in the front row finally asked about the subject, and everyone else looked at Dunleavy for a long time, including Zhuang Fei.

To Zhuang Fei's surprise, Dunleavy was not angry, but was actually very calm, which made the reporters present a little puzzled, just now he was still blue, but now he is actually better.

"I know you're going to ask that question, my players are brave, and that's what the Trail Blazers have always been called n

A reason for the toughest team"

Huh, the toughest team? Zhuang Fei was speechless for a while, it was really difficult for Dunleavy to embarrass him.

"Sometimes they create some conflict, but I don't think it's anything

What is a? This is a men's gladiatorial arena, have you ever seen a harmonious mass in the gladiatorial arena? This is blood xìng, this is n

One of the attractions of A, N

A: Isn't the difference compared to other basketball games that it is more intense and more enthusiastic? ”

Zhuang Fei was stunned again, and his evaluation of Dunleavy in his heart immediately changed dramatically, this old boy is smart, he is no longer excusing his team, but creating public opinion to the media and then putting pressure on the league.

Actually

A is not strict about the conflict between players on the field, as long as it does not involve the fans, if the players and fans clash, it will definitely be tragic, refer to Artest. But the conflict between the players is not, the bullet in this is very big, Jim Jackson, Ryder and Stephen Jackson are suspended, but the key is to suspend a few games.

Zhuang Fei couldn't help but secretly admire, this person is much more sophisticated than him, if he criticizes his players here now, admits his mistakes, and then the media unanimously makes things bigger, it is estimated that it will be out of control.

"Mr. Zhuang, what do you think? Do you agree with Mr. Dunleavy? "Some of the journalists are clearly not very determined.

"Of course," Zhuang Fei smiled again, and then continued.

"It's a very jīng lottery game, the fans not only saw the basketball contest but also saw some things that don't seem to be basketball, but in fact these are all part of the basketball game, but they have gone a little too far, but they have accepted the punishment, so I completely agree with Mr. Dunleavy"

Zhuang Fei and Dunleavy looked at each other and smiled, but Dunleavy's smile was a little bitter and not bright enough, which was not what he really thought in his heart

Zhuang Fei and Dunleavy's performance at the press conference did play a role in the public opinion orientation of the national media the next day, now is not the 21st century, the network media is not the mainstream of public opinion, and netizens do not have a lot of public opinion value, the current mainstream media is print media and TV media, and now the print media and TV media are indeed very concerned about the conflict between the Pioneer and the Timberwolves, but because of the relationship between Zhuang Fei and Dunleavy, most of the media are now divided into two factions, one is to agree with Zhuang Fei and their views, One is to oppose their viewpoint, and the opinions of public opinion are not unified, and there are great disputes.

If Zhuang Fei and Dunleavy lashed out at their team members yesterday, the current public opinion would definitely not be like this.

Zhuang Fei was reading a few newspapers in his office, and the punishment of the alliance had not yet been released, but according to media reports, there were also disputes within the alliance, and the punishment was certain, but it was just a matter of how to punish it.

"Fortunately, yesterday was not a quick tongue, otherwise Stern's stick would have been hit hard a long time ago," Zhuang Fei said with a smile in his heart.

"Yes, at the moment, even if the league were to punish us, it would probably not be very severe," D'Antoni chimed in.

Originally, he already thought that Stephen Jackson would be heavily punished, but at present, it seems that the possibility of a heavy penalty is not very large.

In fact, as Zhuang Fei expected, there was indeed an argument within the league, and David Stern was also listening to the final opinion, and soon, the Timberwolves and Trail Blazers received penalty notices.

"Zhuang, this is a fax from the Alliance" McHale walked into Zhuang Fei's office with a piece of paper, and Zhuang Fei and D'Antoni immediately surrounded McHale impatiently.

"Jackson is banned for 2 games?" Zhuang Fei was stunned.

"yes, that's pretty light," McHale said with a smile, and Zhuang Fei and D'Antoni also nodded.

"What about the Trailblazers?"

"Jim Jackson is also suspended for two games, but Ryder is a little heavier, and Ryder is suspended for five games," McHale replied with a laugh.

"It's fair, Rydell's five-game ban is not too heavy, after all, he is the instigator, and he has a criminal record" Zhuang Fei sat back in his office, Jackson only two games of suspension will not have much impact on the Timberwolves. Because the next two Timberwolves opponents will be at home against the underdog Warriors, and then away against the Grizzlies, who are rising this year. On the other hand, the Trail Blazers, their opponents will be the league's No. 1 Jazz and the Kings who have risen this season, both of which are tough bones.

A day later, on March 2, the Timberwolves ushered in the Golden State Warriors, the Warriors lost to the Phoenix Suns by a big score in the last game, and continued to sink, even though Wallis Zebiak performed strongly this season, averaging 21.5 points per game, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 41%, which is the top three on this year's rookie list, but the rest of the Warriors are too bad, and Szzambiak is not the kind of leader like Carter Duncan, it is suitable to be a second-in-command, So he couldn't save the warrior.

However, in this game, the Warriors created a lot of trouble for the Timberwolves, and the Warriors actually led the Timberwolves in the first three quarters, the score in the first three quarters was 63:59, and the Timberwolves were 4 points behind, not mistakenly, it was indeed 59 points, and this was not a halftime score, the Timberwolves only scored 59 points in the first three quarters, and only shot a three-pointer in the first three quarters, and the feeling was extremely poor.

Until the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves' hand did not come back, if it wasn't for Garnett and Pierce following Zhuang Fei's instructions to play the inside, it is estimated that the Timberwolves would have confessed in this game.

At the end of the game, the score was 89-78, and the Timberwolves won at home, and the score appeared to be a big win, because the Timberwolves played a 30-15 high in the fourth quarter.

In this game, Szzebiak alone scored 6 three-pointers and scored 36 points, the highest on the Warriors, accounting for almost half of the team, and the Timberwolves, Garnett scored the most 27 points and 14 rebounds, of which Garnett made 18 free throws in this game, the most this season, which was proposed by Zhuang Fei at the beginning of the season, Garnett needs to play more aggressively, otherwise it will be difficult for the Timberwolves to win this game when they don't feel good.

Today's game between the Trail Blazers and the Jazz at home is also worth mentioning, and the Trail Blazers actually defeated the Jazz in the West 102-100 through two overtimes without personnel, which surprised Zhuang Fei. After the game, Zhuang Fei took a look at the technical statistics and found that the Trail Blazers actually scored double-doubles in this game, and 2 main players were banned, and then played the Jazz, who ranked first in the West, and seven people scored double-doubles.

"What kind of lineup depth is this Nima" Zhuang Fei smiled helplessly, full of envy for the pioneers. If it weren't for the surprise of the Trail Blazers in the last game, Zhuang Fei really didn't dare to say that he could win them, this team is too weird, just like the Rocket team in the future, Yao Ming and Maddy are always absent, and the team is also full of injuries, but they just have someone who can go up and win, but the current Trail Blazers are more than one level stronger than the Rocket in the future.

After finishing the game against the Warriors, Zhuang Fei also received the trophy of the best coach in the West last month, and although his team is only ranked third in the West, it is the most improved.

On March 4th, the Timberwolves visited Vancouver to face the Grizzlies led by Carter, in a high-speed attack, the Grizzlies sent 21 turnovers in this game, and the Timberwolves were 11 times, the Timberwolves still felt poor in this game, the shooting rate was only 44%, the Grizzlies had 47%, and the rebounds also lost to the Grizzlies four, but the final score was 102-93, the Timberwolves won, four of the Grizzlies' five starters made more than 3 mistakes, of which the core interior Raheem made five turnovers, Carter had 26 points and 12 assists, but he also had four turnovers.

In both games, the Timberwolves were in poor form and it was difficult to win, and the state of the Timberwolves players did go to a low point.

On March 5, the Timberwolves visited the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers led by Dunleavy defeated the Kings 97-93 in their last game, and also ushered in two consecutive wins, but their two consecutive wins are more valuable and in better shape.

In the end, in this high-profile revenge battle, the Timberwolves lost to the Trail Blazers by 12 points, 85-97, and the Timberwolves shot 38.5% from the field today, and shot less than 45% in three consecutive games.

After this game, the Timberwolves fell back to fourth in the West and were once again overtaken by the Trail Blazers.

Zhuang Fei must also adjust the sluggish state of the Timberwolves team.
