On April 3, the Timberwolves played back-to-back games against the Mavericks at home, although the game was played on April 2, the Timberwolves still did not have weak legs, 100-85, the Timberwolves won easily again, and Pierce scored 28 points in 10 of 19 in this game, which also ended his 30+ journey in seven consecutive games.

After this wave of nine consecutive wins, the Timberwolves' record has become 25-8 in 33 games, and the ranking is still in fourth place, but the difference has tied the third Trail Blazers, who are also 25-8, while the first-ranked Spurs are 27-6 and the Jazz are 26-7.

And the team that let the Jazz lose on April 1 and fall from the first place in the West is Zhuang Fei's next opponent, the King. The King's last four games can be described as the devil's schedule, four consecutive away games, the first game against the Lakers, the second game against the Jazz, the third game against the Trail Blazers, and the fourth game against the Timberwolves. The king showed great athleticism.

However, on April 3, when everyone began to unanimously favor the Kings, they lost 86-100 to the Trail Blazers on the road.

When D'Antoni told Zhuang Fei this battle report, Zhuang Fei was not a little happy, because that game did not mean that the king's state declined, the king's leader Chris Webber did not play in that game, because he felt a little unwell before the game, but after the inspection, it was found that there was no major problem, so he would definitely go to the Timberwolves, everyone knows what Chris Webber means to the king, and naturally Zhuang Fei is also very clear.

It is conceivable that in this game, the Kings will be the biggest obstacle on the road to the Timberwolves' ten-game winning streak.

However, what makes Zhuang Fei happy is that although the king is in good shape, the Timberwolves are also in good shape, and everything in the Timberwolves is developing in the best direction.

"Is this the preface to Princeton's strategy that a strong player can take advantage of a weak player, and a smart player can take advantage of a strong player? How does it feel like a misplaced offensive tactic, big fight small, small fight big"

Recently, Zhuang Fei has been tutoring Princeton's tactics, in fact, since leaving Miami, Zhuang Fei has consciously strengthened his tactical literacy, although he usually does not have much time, but as long as he has free time, he will hold a book.

Zhuang Fei knows very well that a coach with high tactical literacy may not be able to lead the team to victory, and a head coach who can lead the team to victory is not all about how high tactical ability he needs, but Zhuang Fei still thinks that these things must be learned. He is only 28 years old now, and he has now achieved achievements that others may not be able to achieve in his lifetime, but most of these things are given to him by the dynasty system and the identity of a traverser, how many things are in his own stomach, he knows that Zhuang Fei hopes to one day be able to get rid of the dependence of the dynasty system, he hopes to forget his identity as a traverser, and then rely on his own strength to win. This is his ambition.

The Princeton tactic was invented by Princeton University head coach Pete Carell, who is now a senior consultant to the Kings team, and also in 1996 when Eddie Jordan was the head coach of the Kings, Pete Carell was also hired by the Kings that year, and after Eddie Jordan left class, Adelman still used Pete Carell, it can be said that Adelman and Eddie Jordan are both Pete Carell's tactical heirs

Minnesota Minneapolis, this is not the capital of Minnesota, but it is the largest city in Minnesota, and it is also the third largest theater market in the United States, and the Guthrie Theater, known as another "Broadway", is here, Zhuang Fei is not very fond of drama, and he does not often go to the Guthrie Theater, but he likes to go to the street where the Guthrie Theater is located, because there is a Chinese martial arts hall and a Chinese restaurant, in fact, the owner of the martial arts hall and the restaurant are the same person, That's where Zhuang Fei's training sandbags were bought. Therefore, as long as he has time, Zhuang Fei often goes there to feel the atmosphere of art. Although he really just went to that Chinese restaurant to eat.

The name of the Chinese restaurant is "Tang Ren Restaurant" and the name of the martial arts hall next to him is also "Tang Ren Martial Arts Hall", and the name of the owners of these two restaurants is also surnamed Tang.

"Xiaozhuang, it's so early today"

Zhuang Fei has walked into the restaurant, and met the owner of this restaurant head-on, because Zhuang Fei often comes, the business of the Tang restaurant is much better, Zhuang Fei is the event billboard, those fans used to see Zhuang Fei often come here to eat, they often come here to squat, and then when they saw Zhuang Fei appear, they scolded Zhuang Fei a few words, scolded hungry, and came in to eat, now it's okay, people who come here to eat are no longer to scold Zhuang Fei.

"There are a lot more people today than usual."

Zhuang Fei's eyes were basically full, which is hard to imagine in the United States, the pace of life here is different from that in China, it is normal for Chinese restaurants to be full, but in the United States, it is great to be able to fill half of the seats.

"Today the musical 'Cats' is staged here, so there are more people, and there is an acquaintance of yours here"

Zhuang Fei nodded, he knew that the cat drama had been very popular recently, so it was no wonder that there were so many people here. It's just that the acquaintance that the boss said surprised Zhuang Fei.

The acquaintance that Boss Tang said was none other than Timberwolves player Garnett, this kid actually came to watch this drama after training, he really didn't know that Garnett was good, because in Zhuang Fei's impression, the people who like musicals are white people in the United States, and black people rarely like this thing.

"Actually, I didn't like drama very much before, but some time ago I was too stressed, and then I found that listening to musicals can reduce stress, and then I slowly became obsessed, and as long as I feel the pressure, I will come here to release."

Zhuang Fei and Garnett sat in a corner, Zhuang Fei listened to Garnett's explanation silently, Garnett looked at the theater opposite the window from a distance, and was a little distracted.

"The pressure has been on Paul lately, hasn't it?" Zhuang Fei smiled faintly.

Garnett nodded, his face full of worry, he was already feeling the pressure, the pressure from his teammate Pierce.

"It's no longer the Timberwolves fans who like Paul more, even the media and pundits appreciate Paul more, he's only won the Player of the Month in his rookie season, and he's only ranked fourth in the scoring list behind Iverson, Carter, O'Neal, all of which makes me feel like I'm no longer the most indispensable person on the team lately."

"I regret it now, I regret signing that stupid big contract last season, I regret my greed now, if it wasn't for that big contract, I think the fans would have chosen between me and Paul, after all I've been with the team for four years and Paul was only in his first year, but, now they've all abandoned me"

Zhuang Fei looked at the young boy in front of him with some emotion, but he didn't expect him to have so many struggles in his heart.

Garnett was a little gloomy, and then said: "When I lost the support of the fans, I once lost the pursuit of my basketball dream, I don't know why I play basketball, I don't know how I can continue to be hungry and thirsty, for money? That's what I wanted to do in basketball in the first place, but I'm not short of money now, I have a lot of money, but when I got to Windsor, I went to Wake Forest University and I realized what I wanted the most, and now I can't get that, and now it's not me who can get it, it's Paul."

"Seriously, I'm jealous of him and envy him"

Zhuang Fei looked at Garnett in silence, Garnett was a little emotional and a little depressed.

"I wanted to be like the coach, I wanted the Timberwolves fans to remember me like the Wake Forest fans remembered the coach, but now it's confusing me because that's what I'm trying for, but I find that what I'm working for is being taken away by someone else"

Zhuang Fei still didn't speak, he understood Garnett's feelings, when he was in Wake Forest before, Duncan and Carter also had this problem, but the difference is that Carter's rapid rise made Duncan grow faster, and Duncan has been suppressing Carter, but in the Timberwolves, Garnett, who is in the same position as Duncan, feels that he has not suppressed Pierce's confidence.

Why not faith? If it's because the fans prefer Pierce, Garnett can ignore it, after all, the fans are emotional, but the media and experts have also begun to favor Pierce, which makes Garnett very uncomfortable, and he also begins to wonder in his heart whether he is really inferior to Pierce.

As long as there is such a situation in the dual-core team, it is likely to lead to civil strife, such as the Lakers in the future, when O'Neal can't completely suppress Kobe, the contradiction will appear, of course, the Timberwolves have no contradiction now, Garnett is just pure jealousy and envy, Pierce may not have the idea of competing for the boss now, but what about the future?

"Coach, in your heart, who is better, me or Paul" Garnett finally calmed down, and then looked at Zhuang Fei with burning eyes, he wanted to know the answer.
