Chapter 225: List of Dream Teams
In Zhuang Fei's heart, Garnett is already a mature leader after all, Zhuang Fei knows the difference between Garnett and Duncan, he will not treat him like Duncan, it can be said that Duncan is a perfect wise leader, his psychological quality is second to none among all players in the NBA, Zhuang Fei never thought that Garnett would become Duncan, Garnett has his own characteristics, brave, fierce, and of course very aggressive, in addition to these, the biggest difference between him and Duncan is that Garnett is very easy to be disturbed by outside words.
Zhuang Fei knew this, but he didn't expect Garnett to brush the data for a personal honor, but the data brushing in these games was not successful, but he was caught by Zhuang Fei, this kind of behavior is extremely unbearable for Zhuang Fei, whether it is in Wake Forest or in the Timberwolves Zhuang Fei has repeatedly emphasized teamwork, cooperation, and trust. Now Garnett's behavior can't be said of any of this.
Zhuang Fei knows that Garnett is eager for the position of the first person in the league, how can he become the first person in the league? In fact, it's very simple to say, if you want to become the recognized first person in a certain season, you must win the regular season MVP and finals MVP of that season, just like Duncan last season, although many people now say that O'Neal's strength may be stronger than Duncan, and Vince Carter's strength is not inferior to Duncan, but these voices are useless, it is useless to talk about strength in such a thing, strength is not easy to compare in different positions, not everyone has a dynasty system, and if you have the ability, you can learn from Duncan to win double MVP, This will be recognized, isn't it because of this reason that James and Kobe Bryant were very controversial in Zhuang Fei's previous life? Before 2012, he didn't have two of them, and he won two MVPs in the same year.
Now Garnett wants to replicate Duncan's path, for the Timberwolves it is very likely to win the championship this year, at least there are more chances than last year, so as the boss of the team, Garnett thinks that he can win the Finals MVP naturally, but for the regular season MVP, Garnett is a little difficult. This year's regular season MVP competition is too fierce.
If Garnett and O'Neal were ahead of the others before the All-Star, after all, the Timberwolves and Lakers have a really good record, and if either of the Timberwolves or the Lakers can break the Bulls' regular season record of 72 wins, then the MVP will not run, and it will definitely be one of these two teams. But now with the decline of the Timberwolves and Lakers, it is not impossible to break the Bulls' 72-win rally, but the chances are quite slim, and at this time, the record advantage of the Lakers and Timberwolves will be eaten away a lot. After all, the depth of the two teams is very strong, and the coaching level is also high, so it is natural to achieve such results, and if they do not have an advantage in personal data, they are likely to be caught up by latecomers. And the player who is not dominant in terms of data is none other than Garnett, Garnett's stats so far this season are 23 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals, if such data is placed in Zhuang Fei's previous life after 2005, it is basically ironclad MVP-level data, Garnett's all-round performance this season has been greatly admired by all experts in the United States, and is considered one of the most balanced offensive and defensive players in the league, but such a piece of anti-natural data is not advantageous among the other two MVP contenders, and even in a weak position. Like Garnett, O'Neal has been affected by the team's results recently, and there are many fewer calls for MVP, but his stats are better than Garnett's, who can average 30.1 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game this season, although it doesn't seem to be as comprehensive as Garnett. But it's perfect for a center, so when the Timberwolves and Lakers suffered successive defeats, Garnett was surpassed by O'Neal in the MVP list, and O'Neal is still not ranked first although he is now pressing Garnett with a statistical advantage. …,
At the top of the MVP list is Carter, who was eighth in the West last season. Barely making the playoffs, Carter has led the Grizzlies to a top-five finish this season and is not far from the Trail Blazers in third place and the Jazz in fourth. The last 9 Grizzlies have won all, and they have killed the unbeatable Lakers and Timberwolves, and they have also broken O'Neal and Garnett's monopoly on the best player of the month, according to this state, the Grizzlies are likely to reach third, you know, before Carter came to the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies were a bottom team, last season Carter was third in the final MVP standings because he led the Grizzlies to the playoffs, and this season as long as the Gray won the top three in the West, Add to that Carter's current all-around performance of 27.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, and even play playmaking guard for a long time every game with Grizzlies Carter, and more importantly, the league is now praising him. As long as he continues to be so consistent, 80% of this year's MVP will be his.
Carter is very perverted now, Zhuang Fei thinks that one of his biggest achievements since his rebirth is to complete the transformation of Carter, both technically and mentally, now Carter is very wise and calm and hard enough and tenacious, which is very similar to Duncan, but in terms of technical style, Zhuang Fei has always used him as an organization striker training, and the current style of play is almost a copy of the little emperor James. It's impossible for a player like Carter to make it possible to brush up on the stats for MVP, which means that the Grizzlies will probably remain strong until the end of the regular season this season, so Garnett's MVP chances will be quite slim.
It's no wonder Garnett would do such a thing, for Garnett to become the first person in the league is the biggest goal, and now seeing that the MVP is getting farther and farther away from him, if he loses the regular season MVP this season, even if he can win the Finals MVP, there is no way to justifiably say that he is the first in the league.
"Ah, it's always hard to defeat this thing" Zhuang Fei sighed and threw the newspaper aside in his hand, while D'Antoni also shook his head with a wry smile, thinking about what he would do if he encountered something like this. But in the end, there is still no answer, although this kind of thing is simple, the reason is very clear, who is right and who is wrong at a glance, but it is not easy to do. If it weren't for the extreme eagerness, who would do such a thing as scraping data?
Just when D'Antoni was thinking about what to do, Garnett pushed the door in, Garnett looked good, although the team just lost, but still the first in the West, and now he will not have psychological baggage because of a regular season win.
"Coach, do you have something to do with me?" Garnett smiled and found Zhuang Fei and said, originally he wanted to sit down, but when he saw Zhuang Fei's face cloudy, he could only stand awkwardly to the side.
Zhuang Fei looked at Garnett and didn't speak for a long time, and Garnett was very uncomfortable being stared at by Zhuang Fei all the time, and D'Antoni on the side was even more puzzled, why didn't Zhuang Fei reprimand Garnett? Instead just watching?
After a long time, Zhuang Fei broke the silence and said coldly: "Kevin, take a look at this" and then handed the newspaper he was reading just now to Garnett, Garnett was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw the title of the newspaper, his face changed, and a cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, and Zhuang Fei watched this scene quietly on the side.
After a long time, Garnett respectfully returned the newspaper to Zhuang Fei after reading it, and then exhaled a long breath, his eyes were full of struggle and reluctance, and there was a trace of relief. Then he bent down at Zhuang Fei: "Coach, I'm sorry, I'm confused"
Garnett is not a stupid person, Zhuang Fei means that he understands that he is the boss of the team, and he is privileged at any time, even if Zhuang Fei requires him to have team spirit like other players, but he can still do something beyond the team for his own purposes, he really did it, Zhuang Fei has no way to take him, is it possible to press him on the bench? This is impossible, the NBA is too special, no team has two leading players who can replace each other in a position, players like Garnett and Nash are irreplaceable for the Timberwolves, such a player head coach must consider their feelings, if they really want to go all the way to the black, Zhuang Fei can only admit it. …,
Now Zhuang Fei means to let Garnett decide for himself, if Garnett does not apologize this time, but is ready to continue to brush firmly, then Zhuang Fei can only let him, or even help him brush. In Zhuang Fei's previous life, didn't there be many head coaches who assisted their players in brushing data?
D'Antoni watched the pair of masters and apprentices speechless in a daze, he had never thought of such a development. He did not wait for any preaching or other exhortation.
"Kevin, do you know that going with the flow and going it sway? It should be yours, and it will always be yours at that point"
Looking at Garnett's back as he was about to leave, Zhuang Fei said lightly, while Garnett paused for a moment and then nodded slowly and left.
"Zhuang? Is this the matter settled? D'Antoni looked at Zhuang Fei in disbelief.
"Yes, it's solved, it's also fortunate that he's Garnett" Zhuang Fei suddenly collapsed on his chair and closed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth showed a smile. D'Antoni, on the other hand, was silently thinking about something.
That's when McHale, the team's general manager, came in.
"What happened? Why do you all look like this? McHale looked at the two men with some confusion, but in the end they didn't get an answer, and the two men just shook their heads.
"Kevin, what do you want?" Zhuang Fei straightened up and asked with a smile.
"By the way, Zhuang, now the Team USA selection committee has asked you to submit a list of entries to commemorate the Sydney Olympics, and they need to contact the players now," McHale said and handed Zhuang a fax piece of paper.
"A roster of Team USA?" Zhuang Fei was stunned, he almost forgot that he was the coach of the American team.
