"I remember when I first took over the Timberwolves, the players here were full of contradictions and unwillingness, and even after I traded Marbury, everyone thought I would step down from the altar and wonder if I could fit in the NBA, but I still stuck to my decision, and now I succeeded, and many people failed."

"I'm not a maverick and I'm not a person who has to go my own way, but in my coaching career I've been fighting against everyone, the fans, the media, the owners and so on, which makes a lot of people think I'm an alternative, okay, I don't want to explain too much, it's just an alternative, but it's always me who succeeds, I've always been in control of everything, nothing can jump out of my control"

"Even, for a while I thought I was God, God who could do anything, but obviously, I was wrong, I was not God, there were so many things that I couldn't change, like now, I couldn't change my player's mind"

D'Antoni gently patted Zhuang Fei next to him, he couldn't imagine that the person who has always been full of confidence and strength would have such a low moment, from the current point of view, this Chinese who he admires is still helpless, maybe anyone has their own helplessness, just half an hour ago, D'Antoni witnessed Zhuang Fei's stick to the Timberwolves players, D'Antoni was a little puzzled in his heart, the players were also puzzled, compared with the player's indifference, D'Antoni once again chose to believe in Zhuang Fei's judgment, Because he witnessed all the judgments of Zhuang Fei, there were almost no mistakes, but the players were not, which cannot be blamed on the players. Amid the sweet voices of everyone around him, no one could stay awake.

"This made me understand a very simple truth, if the team wants to show execution and competitiveness, the head coach of the team must think in line with the players, otherwise even if they have good players. No amount of success can be achieved with a strong coach or the best system."

In the future, the relationship between D'Antoni and the Knicks is like this, his tactics can't be implemented at all, the players don't listen to him at all, and the Lakers' Brown is the same, this is not all the reason why the head coach can't do it, and thinking of the various conflicts that have arisen in the team recently, Zhuang Fei clearly feels that there is too little communication between himself and the players, and the players respect Zhuang Fei very much. That's all, they don't understand Zhuang Fei's thoughts many times, such as this time, they are very puzzled by Zhuang Fei's thoughts. actually thought that Jīng's exhausted Spurs would be better than them, and these Timberwolves players also had a bullish temper, and they collided with Zhuang Fei for the first time.

"Actually, Sloan's killing this time is a task that comes to my weaknesses, and now may be an opportunity, as a head coach, you should not only focus on the tactical aspects of the team. You must also pay enough attention to life and other aspects," Zhuang Fei thought to himself.

He is now starting to reflect on his old principles, he used to always say that as long as the players don't affect the team's game, train. He doesn't care about everything the rest of the time, which is obviously a very idealistic and very wrong theory.

"No matter what. Zhuang, in my heart. You'll always be the best head coach you can be, maybe because of your age and other reasons, you still have a lot to offer, but I'm sure you'll be the perfect head coach, Zhuang, now we need to beat the Spurs," D'Antoni smiled and comforted as he looked at Zhuang Fei's face.

D'Antoni knows that Zhuang Fei rarely pays attention to other things besides basketball, such as the Pierce incident a few times ago, since Zhuang Fei now recognizes his shortcomings, D'Antoni is also very relieved, no one can reach the top at the beginning, he will not forget that Zhuang Fei is now just a young man under 30 years old. Zhuang Fei is now a typical example with extremely high IQ and insufficient EQ.

"Well, Mike, don't worry, I know the priorities" Zhuang Fei returned a bitter smile.

"The current Spurs are definitely not comparable to the Jazz of the past, I watched their twelve games from beginning to end, their rotation is very good, Vecchio is much bolder than Sloan, the Spurs have no fitness crisis at all, and they are in excellent shape now, especially the defense has become more and more sè, in the last game they let the Trail Blazers shoot less than 25%, their interior defense is like a big net, and the control of the rhythm is getting more and more sè"

"Against the current Spurs, we must win by surprise, if we follow the general tactics, it is difficult to attack them" At this time, Zhuang Fei regained his previous self-confidence, which also made D'Antoni a little more relieved.

"But this game, I want to observe it first, I want to feel the hardness and strength of the spurs" He wanted to know if the spurs were really as strong as he imagined, at this time any fear was useless, Zhuang Fei needed to fight with the spurs by himself.

"It's up to you to decide, I trust your judgment," D'Antoni said slowly with a smile

Hush~~~

Just when Zhuang Fei and the Timberwolves players walked out of the locker room, there was a huge boo from the Alamo Stadium, especially when the host introduced Zhuang Fei, the boos reached the maximum decibels, which can also be clearly seen that in the minds of outsiders, the first person of the Timberwolves is not their two stars, but Zhuang Fei, the head coach, which is unique in the entire NBA, and no team will be such a scene.

"Uncle, I'm here, here" Just when Zhuang Fei was about to sit down in his seat, he heard a crisp voice calling his name, and when he looked back, he saw a girl waving her hands in the third row jumping towards him, and she could see that this girl was not very tall, and she was afraid that Zhuang Fei would not see her.

"Hey, I seem to have seen it somewhere" Zhuang Fei first felt a little familiar, then stunned, and finally remembered, isn't this the little girl I met in Toronto?

"Zhuang, who is that little girl, your friend?" D'Antoni also noticed Avril, and then looked at Zhuang Fei with a very strange look, Scarlett is a little girl, this is also a little girl, it seems that it is time to educate Zhuang Fei. His three views are already a little distorted.

Zhuang Fei was stunned for a while, completely ignoring D'Antony's strange eyes and said with a smile: "It's just a very simple friend, I met when I went to Toronto last time, you don't have to think too much."

"It turned out to be the one you caught a cold," D'Antoni said incredulously. However, he still did not get rid of the impression that Zhuang Fei was Lolita, and D'Antoni vowed to pay attention to Zhuang Fei in the future, knowing that this is a crime in some places in the United States. And this girl looks younger than Scarlett.

Zhuang Fei didn't care about De Anthony's careful thoughts, since this girl came to him, of course he couldn't be rude, and then Zhuang Fei waved his hand like Avril, and then nodded at her with a smile, which also reassured Avril.

"Looks like Uncle still remembers me," Avril thought sweetly.

But Zhuang Fei's abnormal action was quickly caught by ABC's live broadcast camera. And Avril's innocent appearance was presented to the audience in the United States for the first time.

"Is this girl Coach Z's girlfriend? It's incredible, Coach Z actually has a girlfriend, is the rumor fake, I think many men in the United States will be heartbroken to see this scene," Michaels, the on-site commentator of ABC, said jokingly. Zhuang Fei's private life has also been paid attention to by many people, although the United States is not as gossip as the United Kingdom, but it is still not exempt from vulgarity, Zhuang Fei's bland and boring private life even made some media speculate that Zhuang Fei is a lover with Xìng, and even some Lìng love organizations sent invitations to Zhuang Fei's home.

Zhuang Fei had no idea that his small action would trigger such a huge speculation. After signaling to Avril, Zhuang Fei saw that Vicky was walking towards him not far away, and then he also greeted him.

Zhuang Fei saw a very familiar figure beside Vicky, this is McBrown, who coached LeBron James and Kobe Bryant at the same time in later generations. Later generations of fans affectionately called him "bread". Suddenly, Zhuang Fei felt a little like time had passed, although the current McBrown was not high-spirited. But it can be regarded as full of confidence, and it is much better than the blackened and burnt bread in the later generations.

"Hello. Hello Mr. Vicky, Mr. McBrown," Zhuang Fei said with a smile as he shook Vicky's hand.

"Zhuang, you know Mike" Vic frowned, Mike Brown was only recently promoted by him, it can be said that he didn't have a little fame before, Zhuang Fei actually knew him, which made him very puzzled, could it be that the Timberwolves' scouting report is so detailed that it has begun to investigate to this point? This made Vicky feel jǐngti. Vicky has never been a gentleman, or he likes to be wary of others with a villain's heart, of course, this is just his coaching style, and his character is definitely not like that. To some extent, he is more cautious than Zhuang Fei, and he will not even let go of any details.

"yes, it's just that Mr. Mack obviously doesn't know me," Zhuang Fei said half-jokingly to Mike Brown, who was still stunned, he didn't know that his casual remark had caused Vicky's extreme jǐng.

Of course, McBrown doesn't know Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei is now the most popular head coach in the United States, if someone in the American basketball world doesn't know Zhuang Fei, he can only say that person is either an idiot or mentally retarded, but what makes him stunned is that Zhuang Fei, a famous coach who is bigger than Vicky, actually knows such a small person as him.

"Mike, if you have time, let's talk in Minnesota, I admire you very much" Zhuang Fei looked at Mike Brown, who was still at a loss, and then also stretched out a hand to him, he really wanted to dig into the corner of Vicky, McBrown has a lot of experience in defensive tactics, to a certain extent, he is very similar to the Knicks' Tin Foil Du, but in terms of personal personality charm, he is far behind Tin Foil Du. This is also the reason why Tin Foil Du succeeded, and he failed.

Although McBrown was surprised, he still shook hands with Zhuang Fei, but he did not accept Zhuang Fei's solicitation, and like Tin Foil, he was also very happy at the Spurs, Vicky trusted him very much, and he also enjoyed this life: "I appreciate your kindness, but I am fine in San Antonio now, and I have no plans to go to Minnesota."

Zhuang Fei was not unhappy in the face of McBrown's refusal, he knew how difficult it was to poach someone else's coaching team in the NBA, and he had not succeeded so far.

"Hmph, this kid is really not bad, it seems that he has studied us thoroughly" Looking at Zhuang Fei's back, Vicky said with a dark face, this is the first time he has met a head coach who can work more meticulously than him

The starting lineup of the Timberwolves for this game is the regular lineup, center Garnett, power forward Lewis, small forward Pierce, scoring guard Jackson, and playmaking guard Nash.

The same is true for the Spurs, with David Robinson and Tim Duncan on the inside, Sean Elliott at small forward, Mario Eli at shooting guard, and Johnson as playmaker at playmaking guard.

After the playoffs, the Spurs' group of outside players are tortured, in the first round against the Grizzlies, Carter alone played a group of them to play the east and west, north and south, almost everyone has the experience of being sent off, and in the second round against the Trail Blazers, although the Trail Blazers did not have a sharp knife like Carter, but it is outrageous that the outside line of the Trail Blazers is very strong whether it is the main player or the bench player, if the Grizzlies' Carter is to press them with "quality", then the Trail Blazers are to "quantity" to press them.

So today when they meet the outside line of the Timberwolves who caused them a lot of trouble in the regular season, they don't care so much, compared to quality, can anyone in the Timberwolves compare to Carter? Can the Timberwolves compare with the Trail Blazers? Not necessarily.

So as soon as the game started, the Timberwolves followed the regular season style of play, frantically breaking through the Spurs' outside group, and then immediately shooting before the twin towers forced out to help defend, which is the Timberwolves' regular tactic, and not everyone follows this tactic. Like Pierce.

Pierce had a thought after the opening, that is, to kill directly to the inside, just like he wanted to dunk Malone against the Jazz, he obviously had the meaning of competing with Robinson and Duncan in this game, and he had a good chance of Robinson in the regular season, and he had a lot of experience, so at the beginning of this game, the Timberwolves took the initiative.

"As we imagined, the Timberwolves are the nemesis of the Spurs, their outside line is the Trail Blazers is incomparable, the Timberwolves' outside shooting is more accurate, the breakthrough is sharper, and they also have Pierce's sharp knife, beautiful, Pierce once again hit the basket to complete the layup, the Spurs seem to be hanging in this game, maybe we are right, the Timberwolves will easily eliminate the Spurs" ABC on-site commentator Michaels said excitedly.

Compared with Michaels's excitement, Zhuang Fei calmed down.
