Chapter 450: The Big Deal of the Whistle
"Coach, what's so happy"
In Zhuang Fei's office, when the team's assistant coach Stephen Green came in with the player report, he saw the team's head coach Zhuang Fei smiling and reading a newspaper, and at this time, the Chinese coach still let out some laughs, which made Stephen Green, who had just come in, also puzzled.
Although the team defeated the Mavericks last night, but last night's game is definitely not worth Zhuang Fei's this, you know, in the face of such a back-to-back team that has been flying from Vancouver, the Boston Celtics finally only relied on James Posey's three-point strike to win the game, which is not a game result worthy of such treatment.
"Look at this" Zhuang Fei smiled and looked up at Green who was standing in front of him, and then threw the newspaper in his hand to Green, who was slightly curious and looked at it, and then immediately laughed like Zhuang Fei just now.
This newspaper is Zhuang Fei's favorite New York Times, this newspaper predicted at the end of the All-Star that the Boston Celtics would collapse in the face of the five-day four-game devil schedule, it can be said that this media is extremely swearing, but the final result everyone knows, although the Boston Celtics stumble in every game, but they are also maintaining a full victory, even if the Grizzlies have won 20 consecutive games, but the Boston Celtics are still equal in the Grizzlies, Naturally, such a Celtic team is unlikely to be in a collapse situation, so after this prediction failed. Zhuang Fei's sworn enemy media actually listed all the remaining 27 games of the Boston Celtics this season, and then the media came to the conclusion that the Celtics could only win nine of the 27 games in the second half, and the media not only listed all the remaining opponents of Zhuang Fei, but also analyzed every remaining game of the Celtics, it can be said that in this issue of the New York Times, Zhuang Fei and the Celtics accounted for more than half of the newspaper. can be so shameless or regardless of the cost. It is estimated that only this media can do it.
"If they could put that in the basketball report, they wouldn't end up like this," Green shook his head and said with a wry smile. He is also very clear about the grievances between his head coach and this media, and he naturally supports his master at this time.
"By the way, how is Maddie doing now," Zhuang Fei asked Green with a smile. After beating the Mavericks in their last game, the Celtics only need to play three games over the next nine days, and two of the three games are back-to-back home games. Now the Boston Celtics have a week to adjust to the team's form.
"Now the condition of the players is well restored, Maddy and James look a lot more relaxed, not tired of flying away all the time, it's just" After receiving Zhuang Fei's question, the Celtics assistant coach also said like a few treasures, but he paused at the end of the sentence.
"It's just that Oku and the team still can't integrate, and their role in the team is completely chicken, right," Zhuang Fei sighed when he saw Green like this.
Now the role of the team's substitute inside line in the team is very embarrassing, in this year's draft, Zhuang Fei is selected as the main attack point of a second team, it can be said that Zhuang Fei is very optimistic about this inside line, after all, this is a player with good offensive strength. Although it is full of holes in defense, it is not a big deal, the second team is not supposed to fight defense, and the defense only needs to know a little bit. …,
Originally, Zhuang Fei was extremely looking forward to this center, but in the end, he found that this guy was completely a player who was completely free from all tactical systems, and this guy had no way to control the game whether he was in or in the second team. Even with the rise of Arenas, this guy's stats are getting worse and worse, and he and Arenas are completely incompatible, especially when Zhuang Fei puts Kirilenko on the court in the team's second lineup, which makes the Boston Celtics' already fast second team even faster, and Oku on one side finally found that his role on the court was only to turn back and run. In many cases, as long as Oku is good, Arenas will be bad, and vice versa, so to speak, when the two are together, they can't blend together, and the two don't play in the same rhythm.
"yes, now it seems that we had better trade him, and then get a faster center who is more suitable for the Celtics' style than him" Seeing Zhuang Fei who was frowning, Stephen Green also suggested, in fact, for players like Oku Stephen Green has always been disdainful, and the same was true for Wang Zhizhi at the beginning, before the 1999 draft, he was extremely unoptimistic about Wang Zhizhi, for this kind of player who does not have good physical talent and only shoots Green has always felt that he needs to be cautious, And back then, in addition to Wang Zhizhi's excellent shooting, other skills were also excellent in Aoku, and the speed was also much faster, if Aoku was replaced by Wang Zhizhi, then the team would have no run-in problem, so the assistant coach had always wanted to replace Aoku with a Wang Zhizhi-type player, but what made Green a little disappointed was that the team's head coach had been hesitating to trade Aoku, and he didn't know what his coach was hesitating about.
Of course, Zhuang Fei understands Green's thoughts, Zhuang Fei also knows that Oku's position in the team is very embarrassing now, but he is also a very good player when he thinks about his previous life, and it is a great pity to trade him now, and there is not much trade value in this interior line now.
"Let's take it slowly, now with the gradual closure of the transaction door, I have a hunch that there will be a big deal in the alliance in the next few days, we just need to watch it without moving" In the end, Zhuang Fei also said to Green with a smile, and Green nodded helplessly.
This season's NBA is crazy, especially after the fall of last season's defending champion Timberwolves, although the Grizzlies in the East are in excellent shape, but they do not make people feel that they are the kings who can win this year's championship, and the same is true for other teams, whether it is the Lakers in the West, the Kings or the Timberwolves or the Grizzlies in the East, the Celtics and even the Wizards and Pistons and other teams are able to attack the final championship, it can be said that after Zhuang Fei's Timberwolves dominated the league for two years, The NBA will once again produce a new order, and when the league is ready to give birth to a new order, it will be the time when the entire league is at its most competitive, and it is also the time when the undercurrent is the most turbulent and the blockbuster transactions are most frequent.
At this time, for Zhuang Fei, he was ready to watch the excitement, and now the Celtics' schedule is a little looser, at this time Zhuang Fei is also putting more energy into the team, although it is difficult for the team's Oku to adapt to the team, Zhuang Fei did not intend to give up on him, but put a large part of his energy on this big center, but the final result was indeed very disappointing for Zhuang Fei.
On February 23, 2002, the Boston Celtics welcomed the challenge of the Bucks at home, and the team is currently in eighth place, and has been overtaken by the Pacers not long ago. Now, with the Cavaliers in ninth place in the East approaching under Penny Hardaway, the once-glorious Bucks are on the verge of being cornered. …,
And in this almost desperate situation, this team has met its nemesis Celtics, so in Zhuang Fei's opinion, the luck of the Bucks is really bad.
This game is the first game after a long home break for the Boston Celtics, in this game the Celtics did show a better state than a week ago, the Bucks' three muskets whether it is Kassel or the big dog Robinson or Ray Allen in this game are very bad, this team seems to have lost its soul, to Zhuang Fei's surprise is that the head coach of this team, George Carr, has been calm throughout the game, this calm is simply terrifying.
In the end, there was no suspense in this game, with the Boston Celtics defeating the Bucks with a score of 116-89.
After defeating the Cavaliers, the Boston Celtics ushered in the challenge of the Bulls on February 26, and the current team that is the bottom team in the East also lost its previous sharpness when it met the Celtics, and the Bulls did not pose much threat to the Boston Celtics in this game, which also made the Celtics defeat the Hawks 106-90 on their home court, it is worth mentioning that In this game, the Boston Celtics' star Maddy scored 31 points and 15 assists in 32 minutes of play, which was the first time the small forward has completed a 'Carter Method' in 30 minutes.
Although the Celtics have won all of these two games, this also makes the team's current record to 48-9, but this record has been overtaken by the Grizzlies' 50-9 loss, and the Celtics have played too few games recently, but despite this, the Celtics are still not much behind the Grizzlies.
After this period of home rest, the Boston Celtics also started their own road trip, and the opponent was the Los Angeles Lakers, and just when Zhuang Fei and his team departed.
The league made a shocking big whistle deal. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
