What kind of person is Zhuang Fei? Perhaps everyone has a different understanding of this Chinese who has caused a huge storm in the United States, some people think he is arrogant, some people think he is arrogant, and of course some people think he is very stubborn, but for Zhuang Fei's agent Chris, this 'great' coach Z has a small personality that is not quite in line with his 'greatness'.

This Z coach has some grudges, and he is very cautious, that is, Zhuang Fei's cautious eyes make this excellent agent speechless.

Just yesterday when the excellent agent suggested that Zhuang Fei go to the Knicks, the Chinese coach also greatly appreciated his rhetoric and also agreed with his opinion, but when Chris thought that Zhuang Fei would accept the contract of the New York Knicks according to his wishes, he was choked by Zhuang Fei's next action, and this Chinese finally chose the Celtics contract after praising the Knicks like Chris, which simply stunned the American agent.

Zhuang Fei didn't tell him why he gave up the Knicks, who were better in all aspects, and Chris himself didn't ask, because he also knew that there was no reason at all, the story of Zhuang Fei and the Knicks was known all over the United States, and it was obvious that Zhuang Fei was still remembering these things, how could this kind of thing be justified? So Chris could only sigh secretly in his heart, as an agent, of course, he thought that the employer would get the best interests as the first consideration, but if the employer himself didn't want these benefits, he couldn't do anything.

After selecting the team with Chris yesterday, Zhuang Fei called Celtics' deputy general manager Danny Angie. After the deputy general manager received a call from Zhuang Fei yesterday, Zhuang Fei could hear the excitement of the Celtic executive over the phone, and the deputy general manager also promised Zhuang Fei to fly from Boston to Minnesota today to discuss contract matters with him.

"Mr. Zhuang. I'm Wickcliff Grusbeck, the majority shareholder of Boston. Just call me Vicliffe."

When Zhuang Fei and Chris came to the place where they had an appointment with Danny Anji, as soon as Zhuang Fei entered the door, he saw a person standing next to Danny Anji, and this person rushed directly to Zhuang Fei after seeing Zhuang Fei and grabbed Zhuang Fei's hand, which also made Zhuang Fei a little surprised, this Celtic boss is too enthusiastic to defend the title.

"Haha, it seems that I was too excited to scare Mr. Zhuang" Wicklife saw Zhuang Fei standing there with a stunned face, and he was also a little embarrassed to laugh at himself. And Zhuang Fei also came to his senses at this time and then resolved the embarrassment with a smile, while Danny Anji and Chris, who were standing on the side, also shook their heads.

"Originally, I thought that it would be Mr. Pitino who came to sign with me this time, but I didn't expect Mr. Wicklife to come in person."

After the four of them sat down in the seats in the hotel box, Zhuang Fei picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip and said with a smile to the Celtic duo opposite, and the two of them showed a hint of amusement when they heard Zhuang Fei mention Pitino.

"Mr. Pitino is now in Maryland. He has now promised the University of Maryland to be the head coach of this team" As soon as Danny Angie finished speaking, he saw Zhuang Fei, who had just taken a sip of coffee, immediately squirted out the coffee he had drunk, and choked on the coffee, and then kept coughing. Seeing Zhuang Fei's situation, Danny Anji and Grusbeck were not very surprised.

"You, you mean, Pitino going to Maryland?" Zhuang Fei coughed for a long time before he recovered and then confirmed, while Danny Angie and Grus Baker both nodded.

"After he learned yesterday that Mr. Zhuang agreed to coach Boston, he also agreed to the University of Maryland's offer," Celtics owner Gruss Baker said with a wry smile. And after the boss finished speaking, Zhuang Fei couldn't help shaking his head. …,

This is Pitino is writing a war letter to him, although Pitino left the NBA, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to compete with Zhuang Fei, even if Zhuang Fei is in the NBA, he can compete in the NCAA, Zhuang Fei came to the Celtics, this is where Pitino once coached, and Pitino went to the ACC league. It used to be where Zhuang Fei coached, and the University of Maryland is a strong team in ACC, but it is only a strong team, which is even worse than Wake Forest before Zhuang Fei did not go to, and now it is far inferior to a group of giants such as Wake Forest in the ACC League, North Carolina, Duke, Georgia Institute of Technology, etc., it can be said that with Pitino's prestige in the NCAA, he has no need to go to a second-rate team like Maryland. But it is clear that this NCAA coach has not given up the challenge of Zhuang Fei, and when Zhuang Fei is attacking Boston, he is also attacking ACC, which is a kind of competition across time and space.

Zhuang Fei and Danny Anji are naturally clear about Pitino's thoughts, so Zhuang Fei was almost choked to death, this Pitino is too persistent.

"It seems that the ACC league will be really lively next season" After thinking about this, Zhuang Fei and the people present also calmed down a little, and at the same time put aside the matter of Pitino.

"Mr. Zhuang, I think you have read the contract we gave you, I don't know if Mr. Zhuang is satisfied, if there are other additions, we can also discuss" Celtics owner Grusbaker looked at Zhuang Fei and said with some apprehension, in fact, the owner of the initial contract that the Celtics sent to Zhuang Fei is extremely uneasy, because from recent news reports, there are many teams that have sent contracts to Zhuang Fei and the conditions are better than their own, such as the Trail Blazers, such as the Knicks, etc.

Seeing the look of the Boston Celtics owner, Zhuang Fei naturally understands why, in fact, the Celtics are indeed full of sincerity, but the team's hard conditions are much worse than the wealthy Knicks and the Trail Blazers, the contract provided by the Knicks is 50 million for 3 years, and the contract provided by the Trail Blazers is 10 years and 200 million, which is almost a lifelong contract, no matter how good Zhuang Fei is in the Trail Blazers, Paul Allen has great trust in Zhuang Fei, After the Trail Blazers' contract was exposed, some media even said that the NBA would be the first coach to surpass a player in terms of contract. This is also the reason why many people think that Zhuang Fei's next stop must be Portland, and this contract cannot be refused at all. Compared with these two, the Boston Celtics can only come up with a 3-year 36 million contract, although this contract is already sky-high for the coach, but compared to the Knicks and Portland, it is quite shabby. This is also the reason why the two were extremely surprised and surprised after learning that Zhuang Fei rejected the Knicks and Portland's promise to Boston.

"I don't have any objection to the contract, I just hope that Mr. Grussbeck will not interfere in the team's affairs as the contract says" Zhuang Fei looked at the Boston Celtics boss with a cramped face and said with a smile, when Zhuang Fei said this, Grussbeck and Danny Ange were relieved, for these two people, he was really afraid that Zhuang Fei would bargain with them, the boss of Boston was not alone, Grushbeck was only one of the major shareholders. The aging club now belongs to a private venture capital group in Boston, the so-called private consortium, of which Grushbeck is only a member, and for which he is not short of money. They won't take the money earned by the club like the Timberwolves owner, but again, because this club does not belong to one person, so if Zhuang Fei wants to increase the salary, it will also need many of them to discuss, and then give a decision, now the time is in mid-June, the draft and the summer strategy of the new season have also begun, they really don't want to drag on this matter and affect the team's preparations, Zhuang Fei of course also knows, he knows that if he fights for it, it is no problem to increase the salary by several million. But he's not doing that right now, and the fastest rebuilding of the team is nothing compared to the millions, and he's not short of that money right now. …,

And more importantly, in the current contract, the Boston Celtics also gave Zhuang Fei a promise, a salary space of more than 70 million US dollars, and the bottom line of the current league's luxury tax promotion is 55 million, which means that if Zhuang Fei really uses up the 70 million quota, the Boston Club is because Zhuang Fei pays more than 15 million luxury tax per year, which is a more important thing for Zhuang Fei.

"I don't know what Mr. Zhuang thinks of the current Celtics, do you think the team still has the possibility of revival" After Zhuang Fei gave his attitude, the team's owner Grushbeck also looked at Zhuang Fei with some expectations, Zhuang Fei is a magical head coach. This is also the reason why he caused a national uproar, and Grusebaker is also a person who has witnessed the glory days of the Boston Celtics, it can be said that he and his partners are crazy Celtics diehard fans, and they are extremely sad about the recent decline of the team, which is one of the main reasons why they bought the team, and he is now asking this question on behalf of all Boston owners, and the subtext is whether Zhuang Fei can lead the Boston Celtics to win the championship in these three years. It's just that considering Zhuang Fei's acceptance, the boss didn't say it explicitly.

"Mr. Grussbeck, I think when I accepted your contract, I just wanted to be able to get more championships, in fact, I think my predecessor Pitino also had such a promise, every coach who enters a great team like the Boston Celtics is here for the championship and glory, so you don't need to worry at this point, just wait and see" Zhuang Fei looked at Grusebeck with some expectant eyes and said with a smile, he understood what this boss meant, this giant has fallen for too long, This makes these people feel a little inferior or sad in their hearts, but the invincible achievements of their ancestors have given them great pride and pride, and now this group of Bostonians is under the double torture of pride and inferiority, pride and sorrow. Zhuang Fei can also understand the mood of these people.

After receiving Zhuang Fei's affirmative reply, the two of them were also relieved. This is also their last question.

"But in the end, I still hope to get your full support in the coming days, only in this way can I achieve everyone's goals" Zhuang Fei said with some seriousness when he saw the two people with relieved expressions, and the two also nodded firmly.

The meeting and pleasure with the Boston Celtics turned out to be very good, Zhuang Fei got the answer he wanted, and the people in Boston also got the answer they wanted, so Zhuang Fei also signed this contract from Boston in the hotel.

In the future, Zhuang Fei will become the head of the NBA's greatest club, as well as the general manager and chairman of the club, and he will be the absolute first person in this club, just like the previous Pitino.

When Zhuang Fei signed a contract with the Boston Celtics, he and the Boston duo came together, and the Boston duo also had to go back to Boston to prepare, also to prepare for Zhuang Fei's move-in, and Zhuang Fei returned home directly. Because today may be his last day in Minnesota, that is, today Zhuang Fei summoned all the Timberwolves players and some staff who were good with him to his home for dinner, but it is obvious that Zhuang Fei has a bad relationship with most of the Timberwolves staff, so this party is actually a party with the Timberwolves players, which can be regarded as a send-off dinner for Zhuang Fei.

"Coach, you said you were going to the Boston Celtics? How is it not the New York Knicks? ”

When Zhuang Fei told these players about his decision, these Timberwolves players all had incredible expressions, for them they were very concerned about Zhuang Fei's dynamics, and they also knew that Zhuang Fei's last three choices this time, Portland was impossible, how could that kind of place be worthy of their head coach, and Boston was too bad, it didn't make the playoffs for many years in a row, and the Knicks naturally became the last choice. Although they didn't want the coach to go to New York, it was the result that looked like this.

"Hehe, I think with the strength of the coach it doesn't matter if you go to the Knicks or Boston, and I also think that the coach shouldn't go to New York, it's our enemy, but no matter where the coach goes, we will support it, and the coach will succeed wherever he goes."

Of course, in the end, these Timberwolves players still blessed Zhuang Fei, which also made Zhuang Fei extremely relieved, in today's party, Zhuang Fei was also the first time to let go in front of these Timberwolves players, because Zhuang Fei was actually drunk today. This is Zhuang Fei's first time. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
