If everyone is saying that everyone is paying attention to a small thing, then a small thing will become a big thing, and if it is a big thing, then this big event will eventually evolve into a social news.

Just like this all-star vote, which originally belonged only to the NBA, has now made the front page of major newspapers in the United States, this time it is not a sports page, now in addition to the sports page, there are social pages, economic pages, and even political and diplomatic pages, and the same is true for television media in addition to print media, which has almost become an explosive event.

"Congratulations to David Stern, he succeeded, he found a way to enter that mysterious country, this is a historic event in American professional sports, since the NBA is not as good as other sports leagues in the United States, but in this respect they have been ahead of everyone, maybe the capitalists on Wall Street can pay attention to it, it will be full of business opportunities"

"That kid is so pitiful, I'm sure he's going to be booed by the visiting fans wherever he goes, it's not his fault, he's just a player, but there's no doubt that he's all the Lakers fans right now, or he's now the target of public criticism, I hope this young man doesn't get affected by things like this, he's been doing great this season, and everyone can see it, last week he was in the top 10 of the rookie list, But it's still unrealistic to compare the top 10 rookie list with the number one person in the MVP list, good luck to him."

"I can't wait to see the Lakers and Timberwolves face off right now, and I swear it's going to be a lot of fun."

Minnesota Timberwolves. The head coach's office, head coach Zhuang Fei, general manager McHale, and owner Glenn Taylor are all there, and the top three of the Timberwolves rarely sit together like this this season, because usually Glenn Taylor does not interfere in the team's affairs at all, or dare not interfere. was afraid of annoying Zhuang Fei, but this time he still came to the team and found Zhuang Fei. Because he can't help but come.

"Zhuang, I hope you can agree to this request of mine. It's not a request" Glenn Taylor looked at Zhuang Fei with a sneer, at this time, there was still a little bit of team owner posture, and he was actually reduced to begging the head coach of his own team. If the owners of other NBA teams see that they don't despise him, they don't despise him.

McHale was slowly sipping his coffee as if it wasn't his business, and he pretended not to see it, even though Glenn Taylor kept winking at him. Anyway, he doesn't want to take care of the boss and the head coach, and he can't take care of it.

"No" Zhuang Fei almost did not hesitate, this is the first time that Glenn Taylor has intervened in the internal affairs of the team, especially the affairs of the players, Zhuang Fei's face is a little ugly, the origin of this matter is because of Wang Zhizhi, also from China, not long ago Su skirt has been changing the law to let Zhuang Fei increase Wang Zhizhi's playing time. This is not only the ardent hope of domestic fans, according to Zhuang Fei's understanding, there are some other people who are blowing the wind on Su Skirt, Su Skirt and Zhuang Fei have a good relationship, those people dare not look for Zhuang Fei and find Su Skirt. But what those people didn't expect was that Zhuang Fei was so faceless. In the end, these people still didn't give up and went directly to the team's owner, Glenn Taylor.

"Zhuang. I know I shouldn't meddle in the team's affairs, but I also hope that you can sacrifice something for the team, there are a lot of Chinese companies waiting to buy sideline advertising, if you can get Wang Zhizhi to play more time, or get him on, even if it's fake. Like Lewis didn't appear last season? "Glenn Taylor is also very aggrieved, and being his own boss is the first in the NBA to do this.

But now he can't help but do this, those advertisements are worth more than 20 million US dollars, if he can really talk about them all, it is worth a Garnett, he really didn't expect Chinese companies to be so rich. …,

Zhuang Fei's face is very bad now, he knows some insiders, in fact, even if Wang Zhizhi's playing time is not guaranteed, these companies from China will also buy Timberwolves advertising, after all, Timberwolves have Zhuang Fei, but the price will be much lower, the best situation for these companies is that there is a Chinese who can often be seen on the Timberwolves' court, for which they are willing to pay more, the difference is tens of millions of dollars, how can speculative businessmen like Glenn Taylor let go of this opportunity? Naturally, he will come to meddle in Zhuang Fei's affairs.

"I don't care about these, that's your business, I don't have the obligation to sacrifice the team's tactical arrangements to fulfill your economic interests, this matter is not negotiable" Zhuang Fei is still very decisive, Wang Zhizhi's playing time is not negotiable, his current strength is already very suitable for 14 minutes a game, and now he does not have much tactical role in the team, so naturally he cannot become, Lewis last season has a tactical role, Lewis was Garnett's containment point last season, This season, the Timberwolves didn't need Lewis's containment, and Zhuang Fei also took him down.

"Zhuang, don't be so stubborn, okay, the team's results are so good now, even if you give Wang Zhizhi some more time, it's not a big deal, as long as we are in the top eight in the West in the regular season, we can enter the playoffs" Glenn Taylor saw that Zhuang Fei was stubborn, and his voice was a little louder.

"Top eight in the West? Playoffs? Zhuang Fei looked at Glenn Taylor coldly and said, Glenn Taylor was stared at by Zhuang Fei for a while, and the momentum that he had just gotten up was suppressed by Zhuang Fei again. In Glenn Taylor's mind, as long as the Timberwolves remain competitive, especially in the past two years, half of the reason he asked Zhuang Fei to come was to hope that Zhuang Fei could help him bring the Timberwolves out and then let him win the Minnesota election.

He and Zhuang Fei have the same short-term goals, both of which are to turn the Timberwolves into a powerhouse in the West, but the long-term goals are inconsistent. Zhuang Fei is a professional basketball man, he will always only pursue the championship, and Glenn Taylor is half politician and half businessman, the championship can win the best, but the championship is not his goal. Both of them have the most core interests, and this time it is the conflict of the core interests of the two.

Of course, Zhuang Fei knows such a thing, but he will not retreat half a step, as long as he retreats this time, then there will definitely be a next time, or even next time.

"Okay, okay, Zhuang, I'm not right this time, this is just it" Seeing that Zhuang Fei's face was getting colder and colder, Glenn Taylor also shrank, and hurriedly lost one, and finally said to Zhuang Fei with a smile: "Congratulations first, our results this season are better than last season, this is really thanks to you, my expectations this year are not so high"

"Well, thank you boss for your strong support" Seeing that Glenn Taylor put down the steps softly, Zhuang Fei was no longer calm, after all, since the other party knew that he was wrong, there was no need to make him unhappy, so Zhuang Fei's face also relaxed.

"That's it, I won't bother you" Glenn Taylor laughed and got up to leave, and McHale followed.

The smile on Glenn Taylor's face, who had just left Zhuang Fei's office, disappeared immediately, and after snorting coldly, he left McHale and left, while McHale stood there awkwardly.

"Well, it's hard to be a general manager," McHale sighed softly and shook his head

Glenn Taylor's matter is just an episode, it is difficult to affect Zhuang Fei's judgment and decision, on December 18, the Timberwolves visited Dallas and faced the Dallas Mavericks, facing this relatively weak opponent Zhuang Fei did not let Wang Zhizhi play, Wang Zhizhi is still a rotation player.

However, when Wang Zhizhi came on the court, there was a huge boo from the Dallas fans in the audience, they are now booing the All-Star thing, this is only the first game, Wang Zhizhi will definitely encounter such boos in future games, and it will definitely be even bigger if he goes to Los Angeles. …,

Zhuang Fei looked at Wang Zhizhi on the court helplessly, his protection of Wang Zhizhi was already in place, but no matter how much he protected, Zhuang Fei could not lock Wang Zhizhi up, he must know about his overpower in the All-Star vote, he was suffering from the pressure, and he was helpless against the boos of the Mavericks fans, or he also recognized it.

The Timberwolves still won this game, and it was a big victory, the final score was 119-100, but Wang Zhizhi's performance was average, shooting 3 of 8, shooting a lot, not hitting much, and scoring 8 points and 3 rebounds.

"I thought I was in Los Angeles, but after watching the score after the game, I realized that this was indeed Dallas" At the post-game press conference, Zhuang Fei said sarcastically, which also embarrassed the old Nelson next to him.

"We didn't play well today, Wang is a good player, he doesn't deserve to be treated like this, I want to apologize to the Timberwolves for this," Nelson Sr. said with a final sigh. This also made Zhuang Fei's face a lot better.

"Mr. Zhuang, O'Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers spoke this morning, saying that he was going to humiliate the Timberwolves, especially the center of the Timberwolves, in this year's Christmas game, what do you think about this matter?"

"The Christmas War?" Zhuang Fei was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked, "Is it almost Christmas now?"

This also made the reporters on the scene burst into laughter, but they were relieved when they thought of Zhuang Fei's identity, and it seemed that Chinese paid more attention to the Spring Festival.

"I'm sorry, I didn't really pay much attention to this, but this is just an ordinary regular season, but I personally think it's better for Shaq not to say that, after all, the Timberwolves don't have Duncan, and they can't afford to humiliate him."

"Duncan" Old Nelson looked at Zhuang Fei with a strange look and was also stunned, what is this about Duncan.

Of course, old Nelson didn't know that Ao had said that he wanted to humiliate Duncan but was humiliated by Duncan, but the reporter below smiled knowingly. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
