The regular season of the 1998-1999 season ended in a hustle and bustle, in this year, the NBA league experienced two major events that could change NBA history, the first was the collapse of the Bulls dynasty, Jordan's retirement, Pippen's departure, the farce of Rodman and the Lakers, and the league's first large-scale shutdown, which caused the NBA's prestige to plummet, with heavy losses, and the most direct loss was naturally the cancellation of the All-Star Game and 32 regular season games, but even so, The NBA also gives people hope, Jordan is leaving, but Carter's entry also makes up for this vacancy very well, Olajuwon, Gorilla, Admiral is old, but Garnett, Duncan, O'Neal have grown up, groups of veterans have begun to twilight, groups of new stars have also begun to emerge, this year's playoffs are also a good interpretation of this theme, this is a collision between the old and the new, will the 84 golden generation who have ruled the league for 8 years hand over their scepter? The aging Olajuwon may find it difficult to keep the glory of the 84 generation, and Stockton, the leader of another 84 generation, may be the last guardian of this glory. Similarly, what kind of performance will the leaders of the Pan 96 generation, Duncan, Carter, and Garnett, who are the pride of the sky, perform? All this is unknown.

But for Zhuang Fei, this year is exciting, but also very perfect, with more preparation and better prediction than others, Zhuang Fei and his Timberwolves have achieved the second best result in the league's regular season, Garnett and Pierce are MVP favorites, Pierce is the best rookie favorite, and Mobley can also compete for the best sixth man a little, and even he himself has become the best choice for the best head coach this season, all of which shows that Zhuang Fei and his Timberwolves have seized this opportunity, in this special season, They performed perfectly.

This season's playoffs all started on May 8th, the first opponent of the Timberwolves is the Kings, and all four meetings with the Kings this season The Timberwolves have won all, so this game has also been rated by the media as the least suspenseful round of the first round of the NBA playoffs, compared to other games in the West, this contest is somewhat unattractive, the first Spurs in the West meet the Grizzlies in the eighth place in the West, Duncan vs. Carter, the most interesting, authoritative media predict that the ratings of the first game of this series between the two teams will break 18%, If the two teams score the fifth game, the ratings will even break 20%, and now the whole United States is discussing Carter and Duncan, which is unimaginable in the NBA, even when Jordan played the Utah Double Stars at his peak, it can't cause such a big amount of conversation, this kind of scene can only be seen in the NCAA finals every year, obviously, many fans who disdain to watch the NBA are also looking forward to this game because of Carter and Duncan, so the specifications of such a game are no less than a Finals, Therefore, this round of the series between the two teams is a special test of the referee's "ability", David Stern handpicked Dick Bavita, who is over 60 years old, to officiate this series, and Stern believes that Bavita's experience can judge this round of games well. In the other two Western competitions, the third Jazz and the sixth Lakers are also a focus, to say which team the NBA Lakers are most afraid of, everyone will say that it is the Jazz, there is no doubt that the Jazz in these seasons have been the bitter masters of the Lakers, and every time they face Malone and Stockton, the Lakers will basically lose badly. The highlight of this round is to see if O'Neal can break through the blockade of the Utah twin stars, and the final game of the civilian team Trail Blazers against the old king Rockets will also be very intense.

The game between the Timberwolves and the Kings was scheduled by the league in the last game, and there were four games on May 8, the first of which was the fourth Atlanta Hawks in the East against the fifth Detroit Pistons, the biggest problem for the Pistons was that no one could share the pressure on Grant Hill, and now the team's Joe Dumas is 37 years old, and this year is also his last season, except for these two people, the Pistons are basically unavailable, so the first game of this year's playoffs, in the case of Grant Hill's average performance, The Pistons lost 70-90 on the road to the Hawks, led by two stars, Mutombo and Steve Smith.

The second game, which is also the most focused game on the first day, the first Heat in the East hosts the Knicks who are eighth in the East, this game is not at all as everyone expected, the Heat can win easily, but the Knicks are extremely outstanding, the away Knicks finally beat the Heat 95-75 by 20 points, even if Mourning's 27 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks made the poor Patrick Ewing very embarrassed, but the Miami Heat's other outside players are in Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, Sprewell's onslaught collapsed, especially the Heat's second-in-command Tim Hardaway performed extremely inconsistently.

In the third game, the Jazz, the third in the West, ushered in the sixth Lakers in the West, this matchup continues the previous pattern of the two teams, from beginning to end, O'Neal's Lakers have no way to take the Jazz, in this case, the Lakers lost to the Jazz with a score of 98-110, and Malone, who is competing with Duncan for the regular season MVP trophy, scored 45 points in this game, which is definitely 33 points over O'Neal.

"The team I hate the most is the Jazz, and the league should limit the pick-and-roll tactic, it's a coward's tactic, and they should be up against me head-on, not sneaky." O'Neal was very angry after the game, the Lakers had no way to take Malone and Stockton's blocking and dismantling inside, and the Jazz naturally restrained O'Neal

"It was a great feeling that we had our first playoff game last year in Seattle and now we're in the target center."

"yes, the Timberwolves are too good, home court advantage, we actually have home court advantage, if the Spurs lose to the Grizzlies in the first round, then we will get home court advantage all the way."

"Haha, Spurs lost to Grizzlies? You dream, no matter how strong Carter is, he can't lead the Grizzlies to defeat the Spurs, the Spurs are the first in the league to beat our Timberwolves, and they are not the eighth in the West like the Grizzlies."

"Cut, impossible? If the Heat lost to the Knicks today, why can't the Grizzlies win against the Spurs"

Although the game was played at half past nine in the evening, at eight o'clock in the evening, the target center was already full, and many fans who did not have tickets had gathered in the small square outside the target center. This can also be imagined how Timberwolves fans are expecting.

In the locker room of the Timberwolves, Zhuang Fei stood in the middle of the locker room coldly with his hands behind his back, without saying a word, and the locker room of the Timberwolves became very quiet and silent.

"You all heard your heartbeat, what kind of feeling did you feel" Finally, after a long time of filling, Zhuang Fei spoke lightly, letting the players remain silent, this is a way to decompress and calm them down, the players of the Timberwolves have been too impetuous in the past two days.

Zhuang Fei never thought that the king would be able to beat the normal Timberwolves under normal circumstances, and the current king is not the king in two years, and the only one who can prevent the Timberwolves from winning is themselves.

After hearing Zhuang Fei's words, the Timberwolves players looked at each other and then looked at Zhuang Fei again, seeing this, Zhuang Fei smiled slightly, and continued.

"Now, you should understand yourself, understand what kind of state your teammates are in, now all you have to do is stay here quietly, and then give me a deep breath, so that my heart doesn't have to beat so fast, I don't have any tactics to arrange today, you all start to take a deep breath for me now"

In the surprised eyes of the Timberwolves players, Zhuang Fei and his coaching staff left the team's locker room, leaving only a group of Timberwolves players in the locker room.

Before the game starts, listen to your own heartbeat, this is all Zhuang Fei's arrangement for the Timberwolves players.
