Zhuang Fei has always been very clear about the purpose of his return to the United States, and he also knows what his greatest pursuit in life is, for Zhuang Fei, whether it is the NCAA championship trophy or the United States Coach of the Year is not his greatest pursuit, his biggest ideal is only one, that is, to win the O'Brien Cup, that is, the NBA championship trophy that haunts him.

Now, this opportunity has come, for all this excitement and eagerness, Zhuang Fei is no worse than his disciples, when the result finally comes to this point, it doesn't matter who his opponent is for him, Zhuang Fei will definitely not let his first trip to the finals leave a trace of regret.

"Uncle, today we're going to watch your game"

Zhuang Fei gently picked up his little nephew and scratched his nose, the reason why Zhuang Fei's family has been staying in the United States is because Zhuang Fei hopes that they can witness the most important moment in their lives, and they readily agreed to Zhuang Fei's request. The game was going to be held at the target center in Minnesota tonight, but Zhuang Fei didn't seem to be affected in the slightest, still teasing his little nephew, while Zhuang Fei's parents and sisters-in-law looked at him with some concern, and even Scarlett, of course they knew what tonight meant to Zhuang Fei.

"Then I have to cheer for my uncle's team."

"Well, uncle, don't worry, although you eliminated the Lakers, I will still support the Timberwolves" Zhuang Lin said with his head held up, which made Zhuang Fei a little funny. There was actually a Lakers fan in the house.

"Hehe, you kid" In the end, Zhuang Fei just knocked lightly on the kid's head.

"Xiao Fei, it's time for you to go, don't be late and let those players wait for you" Just when Zhuang Fei was playing with his little nephew, Zhuang Fei's mother took Zhuang Lin away and said to Zhuang Fei, today Zhuang Fei seems to her to be a little abnormal, in the past, when she finished breakfast with her family in the morning, she would always leave home quickly to go to the team, but this time it dragged on for a long time.

"Hmm. I see," Zhuang Fei smiled and nodded.

Just like a high school student who is always reluctant to go out early when facing the college entrance examination, anyone wants to stay in their warmest place for a long time at this moment, and the same is true for Zhuang Fei.

When the Timberwolves confirmed their entry into the Finals, Zhuang Fei had already started his previous schedule for the Finals. These schedules are all for Timberwolves players, and for both the Timberwolves and Pacers, both sides have zero Finals experience. They all cross the river by feeling the stones, but the difference is that the Pacers have an experienced head coach, this kind of experience naturally means the experience of the NBA Finals, Larry Bird knows very well what he should do, and he also knows very well what the players need in the Finals, for the Pacers, Zhuang Fei has never regarded them as a Finals rookie like himself, they are old birds, old ball skins, just like the Rockets in 1995. Such a team is not easy to deal with, and a careless team is likely to repeat the mistakes of the Magic.

The Timberwolves are actually in a lot like the Magic were back then. The Magic defeated the Bulls and made everyone scream about the birth of a new king, while the Rockets stumbled and looked like they were quite old-fashioned, and public opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of the Magic, and the same is true for the whole United States now, even if it doesn't need last season's 'Sloan's killing'. All of these people are killing the timberwolves. For example, the youngest championship team in history, one of the strongest teams in history, and even all kinds of 'best ever' hats are thrown at the Timberwolves.

In addition to these outside noises, there are more and more reporters outside Minnesota, which has no impact on the preparation of the Timberwolves, which is impossible, and for some compatriot reporters from China, Zhuang Fei is also respectful and hateful, Wang Zhizhi is now the first Chinese player in NBA history to enter the Finals. I even heard Su Skirt say that the ccav set in its own golden program news network devotes five minutes a day to tracking Zhuang Fei and Wang Zhizhi, which is also the reason for the recent increase in Chinese faces in Minnesota, and these compatriots from their own homeland are too good at finding relationships and going through the back door, Timberwolves boss Glenn Taylor has long been captured by them, which has also created a lot of trouble for Zhuang Fei.

…,

Even Zhuang Fei was forced to the end, and directly set up a martial law zone within one kilometer outside the team's training hall, and anyone with a camera, whether a reporter or others, was not allowed to enter this range, which allowed the Timberwolves players to come to the stadium to train normally.

This is Zhuang Fei's first time, even if he encountered all kinds of difficulties this time, but Zhuang Fei is trying his best to make himself perfect, these things are not available to the dynasty system to help him, he can only grope his way forward, for example, he recently reduced the amount of training for Timberwolves players, so that Timberwolves players spend more time watching game footage and some old newspapers.

As for the game video, it is naturally the game video of some finals in previous years, this thing is easy to find, and some long-term newspapers have made Zhuang Fei painstaking, he used the relationship of USA Today to find a large number of newspapers during the 1995 NBA Finals, so that these Timberwolves players can actually feel what happened to the Magic that year, sometimes it is useless to say too much, Zhuang Fei has emphasized enough about these, and in the end only they know what the players will think. However, on the surface, the Timberwolves players also became much calmer after reading the old newspapers that Zhuang Fei found. This also makes the overall atmosphere in the Timberwolves team very good. There weren't too many anomalies. And one thing that makes Zhuang Fei very happy is that these usually wild players actually consciously 'abandoned' all their girlfriends in stages, and during the finals, these Timberwolves players all returned to single, when Zhuang Fei knew about it, he was also a little crying and laughing, but to a certain extent, it also showed that these Timberwolves players attached importance to this game. They are also willing to sacrifice something for the sake of this championship. In short, this is the Timberwolves' first trip to the Finals, but the Timberwolves are not chaotic, but methodical.

It was in this orderly manner that the Timberwolves began their journey to the Finals

The target center is a newly built court, when the Timberwolves first entered the league, their home court was not here, although the ball market in Minnesota has been very good, even if Zhuang Fei did not come before the fans here often come here to watch the game, but for this court today's game is still a landmark game, after today, the target center will no longer be an ordinary basketball court, it will be engraved with a glorious totem tonight, this will be a history with its own, He also hosted the stadium of the NBA Finals.

Perhaps many years from now, the Timberwolves will be a fish belly again, and for Timberwolves fans and Minnesota fans, they have a sacred place to remember their glory, and when they step back here, they will reminisce about the joy and glory that Zhuang Fei and his disciples brought them in the past.

The Target Center will become a mecca this night.

The game between the Timberwolves and the Pacers is played at seven o'clock in the evening, and now it is six o'clock in the evening, and the game is about to start. At this time, all the fans who can have tickets to enter the stadium have already entered, they don't have tickets, so they can only feel the shouts inside outside the stadium and stare at the big screen in the square, they can stay at home and watch TV, but they prefer to be closer to their team than sit at home and watch TV, they want to feel the joy of the team more closely. This kind of behavior of fans is impossible to happen in many NBA teams, even the Vancouver Grizzlies and Minnesota, who are known as the craziest fans, are a little inferior to these fans, and it has not happened since Zhuang Fei came.

…,

It's still a while before the game starts, and the target center is already full of fans, and all the fans have changed into white jackets, and all the Timberwolves fans have unified their outfits. This is a commemorative jacket issued by the team, and every fan holding a ticket can receive one, which also makes the entire target center become a sea of white, and the players from the visiting team such as the Pacers are also frightened in the spontaneous shouts of the fans. For these well-informed veterans, such crazy scenes are probably not common, or they have never seen them at all.

"The game is finally about to start, I never thought that our team could have such a day, it's unbelievable, it's crazy" Glenn Taylor looked at the Chinese on the Timberwolves bench from the stands, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, while McHale next to him chose to be silent, he didn't know how to describe his mood for all this.

"The coach has finally taken this step. Tim, I really envy you" On the other side of the stands, Carter, Duncan and Szczerbiak, three members of the U.S. national team, also came, and Duncan was also silent in the face of Carter's envy, while Szczerbiak fell into deep thought.

On the other side of the media commentary seat, ABC commentator Michaels has already put the microphone on the phone.

"Good evening ABC viewers, I'm Michaels, the narrator"

"The 1999-2000 NBA Finals are about to begin"
