Scarlett is indeed Zhuang Fei's goddess of luck, in this big battle with the Trail Blazers, the performance of the Timberwolves players is very good, this is the home game of the Timberwolves, for the Trail Blazer Zhuang Fei is actually the most methodical, such as his bypass to Sabonis, and now the state and run-in of the Trail Blazers is indeed not very good, under the full force of the Timberwolves, the All-Star team made mistakes throughout the game, and more importantly, they actually took the team to abandon Jermaine O'Neal in this game. O'Neal Jr. was extremely excited in this game, although Zhuang Fei did not arrange the tactics based on O'Neal Jr., but the other players on the Timberwolves unconsciously sent the ball to O'Neal, although Xiao Ao is still running in with the team, but still playing very well with the strong support of his teammates. And he himself began to immerse himself in this state of extreme excitement in the face of his old club.

"Beautiful, Jermaine O'Neal rushed directly from the free throw line to the basket to receive Garnett's pass and dunked with both hands, the Timberwolves' two interior lines in this game are very high-and-low, it can be seen that Garnett is deliberately making the ball for Jermaine O'Neal, in fact, he can attack by himself after blocking and dismantling with Nash in that position" ABC commentator Michaels looked at O'Neal Jr. who was hanging his hands in the basket and nodded and said, judging from the current performance of O'Neal, this young player may not make the Trail Blazers regret it.

In fact, Michaels was right, the Trail Blazers regretted it, Trail Blazers head coach Dunleavy has been sighing on the sidelines this game, he knows that Xiao Ao is very talented, but he didn't expect Zhuang Fei to train him so hard, he finally gave up Xiao Ao because there was no space to cultivate Xiao Ao. Now that I think about it, I am still too conservative, and maybe the Trail Blazers' record may not be bad if I increase the playing time for Xiao Ao. But now, even if Dunleavy regrets it, it can't change the final facts.

With 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter of this game, Zhuang Fei had already replaced all the main forces of the Timberwolves, and now it is 98-81, the Timberwolves have led by 17 points, and the game has entered garbage time.

"Jermaine, well done," Zhuang Fei said as he gently hugged O'Neal Jr. from the court, and he once again hit a double-double in this game. 16 points and 12 rebounds, his second of the season. Now his average data this season has become 9 points and 10 rebounds per game, which is worthy of his annual salary of 6 million.

"Thank you, coach, this game is so cool" O'Neal Jr. was very excited, this match was his revenge fight, he didn't expect to win so crisply. It also gave him a feeling of unfinished.

"There will be a chance in the future," Zhuang Fei patted him on the back and smiled. Obviously, Zhuang Fei also saw Little O'Neill's thoughts.

Just after all the Timberwolves players sat down, Zhuang Fei looked at the court and suddenly frowned.

"Rashad has been in a strange mood lately, why is he so listless?"

The final score of the game was 110-92. The Timberwolves won again by a big margin, and the Timberwolves started the season with an almost frantic winning streak under the almost frantic exclamations of media pundits across the United States, and after the victory over the Trail Blazers, the Timberwolves have won nine in a row this season, and nine wins in nine games.

"In my opinion. Now no team in the NBA can beat the Timberwolves, they are invincible, especially after I saw them beat the Jazz away to beat the Trail Blazers at home, you will say maybe the Spurs can, the Spurs beat them last season, but what I want to say now is that the Spurs without Elliott are not competitive enough, and everyone seems to have forgotten that David Robinson is a year older, and more importantly, the Timberwolves this season are very competitive both in terms of lineup and bench lineup, They can make an infinite number of tactical changes in a single game. Everyone knows that Coach Z is a crazy tactical scientist, and he can make a lot of changes to the Timberwolves' roster, which also makes other teams have no way to take them, of course, maybe not all teams can't do it, and the Lakers, who are now in the same hot form as the Timberwolves, may be able to beat the Timberwolves. But it's a pity that the first game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves is December 25th, that is, Christmas, and that game is still a full month away from now, so everyone who expects Coach Z to fail or expects the Timberwolves to fail had better be prepared to wait, maybe the Timberwolves will always win"...,

That's the front-page headline of USA Today Sports. At the beginning of the season, even America Today didn't expect the Timberwolves to be so strong, but now it's too late for them to change their tune, but some other media outlets may not change their tune. For example, some media outlets in New York and Los Angeles believe that the Timberwolves will only maintain their winning streak because the schedule is too good and the opponent is too low. Sooner or later it will collapse.

In the head coach's office of the Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson picked up the newspaper in his hand and threw it on the ground because it said the Timberwolves had won again.

On November 26, 1999, the Timberwolves visited Denver to face the Denver Nuggets, the team that was disgraced by the Lakers not long ago has not been at peace recently, the team's head coach and general manager Dan Yissel and the owner have a quarrel, because the Nuggets' results this season are too miserable, the West ranks second-to-last, and they also lost 56 points in the half of the game with the Lakers, which makes the Nuggets owner who has been delegating power really can't help it, and then puts pressure on Dan Yissel, but who is Dan Yissel? The creator of the NBA's first Black Eight Miracle, he claims to be the savior of the Denver Nuggets, how can he tolerate the boss to meddle in his affairs, and Iser's tyrannical management not only makes the boss dissatisfied, but the players also begin to be dissatisfied.

But even so, the Timberwolves did not intend to underestimate the Nuggets, the Nuggets' performance in this game was also very good, and even once did not suffer on the court, after three quarters, the Nuggets actually tied with the Timberwolves with their home-court advantage, and the game was not until the last moment, and the Timberwolves finally defeated the Nuggets with a key three-pointer that Nash hit with 45s left in the game.

This is also the Timberwolves' 10-game winning streak, they have won 10 games in a row this season, which is why Phil Jackson is angry, although the Lakers are now ranked first in the West, but they lost to the Trail Blazers in the third game of the season, which also makes their current record 12-1, as long as the Timberwolves keep winning, they will lose the first place in the West sooner or later

"Sit down," Zhuang Fei said with a smile.

Lewis sat down a little apprehensively, not quite sure why he had been called into the office by the manager. Zhuang Fei rarely does such a thing, and this is the first time he has been here since last season.

"It's been okay lately"

Seeing Zhuang Fei's smiling appearance, Lewis was stunned again, and finally Lewis shook his head with a wry smile.

"I've been struggling with the substitute lately," Zhuang Fei said to Lewis with a smile, Lewis didn't hide it, and nodded after hearing Zhuang Fei's question.

"It's a bit frustrating, I've had a lot of minutes this season, and although I know I'm not fit right now, I'm still feeling disappointed in the end, but I've tried to control it," Lewis replied with a bit of frustration at the end.

Lewis is in control, but not controlled, recently Zhuang Fei can always see that Lewis's interest on the court is not very high, and sometimes he will lose his mind during the game, which is why Zhuang Fei is talking to Lewis today.

"Rashad, although you are a substitute this season, but in terms of contribution to the team, in my opinion you are much bigger this season than last season, although you have been a fake last season, and your contribution to the team is limited, but this season is different, you have the same firing rights as Mobley in the second team, and you are one of the most important attack points in the team's second team, which you can't get in the lineup" Lewis Zhuang Fei, who looked a little stunned, continued.

"Attacking in the lineup is your last point of attack, and you are also the weakest point in defense, so you can say that you are the least outstanding at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but when you get to the bench you don't need to think about defense, I just need you to shoot and score, which is also the most suitable position for you"...,

"Just think about shooting and scoring," Lewis said with his mouth wide open, reflecting on Zhuang Fei's words.

"I think you're in a situation where you're thinking too much because you're not the player you need anymore, but the fact is that you're important, we've been able to keep winning like this season largely because we've got a lot of squad depth, Ginobili and Mobley and of course you, how well you play is very important for the team."

Looking at Zhuang Fei's bitter expression, Lewis fell into deep thought, he was seriously considering Zhuang Fei's words. After a moment, Lewis nodded again.

"Coach, I know, I'll do a good job in the future, even if it's a substitute, it doesn't matter, I won't think about it during the game anymore"

Seeing Lewis like this, Zhuang Fei also smiled and nodded, now everyone in the Timberwolves Zhuang Fei attaches great importance to it, and he has to pay attention to it, everything is to defeat the Lakers.

Lewis's problem was quickly solved, from November 26th to December 4th, the Timberwolves will once again get a back-to-back home court, in the course of a week, the Timberwolves will play four consecutive games at home, the opponents are, Grizzlies, Nuggets, Magic and Mavericks, except for the Grizzlies, the other strength is not very strong, if the Timberwolves can seize this opportunity to win all, it is likely to pose a huge threat to the Lakers' first place in the West.
