On May 20th, the NBA played two more games, the Spurs who played at home lost to the Trail Blazers 81-84, and in the game between the two teams on May 18th, the Spurs won 93-83, which led to a 1-1 battle between the two teams, and the Spurs lost their home-court advantage again, and in another game, the Knicks, who staged the Black Eight Miracle, continued their magical journey, following the last game of defeating the Hawks 100-92 away, and defeated the Hawks again 77-70 today, The Eagles have also become the only team to lose all of their four games at home, and are almost certain to be eliminated.

In this home game between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers, Tim Duncan, the star player of the Spurs, received the league MVP trophy, which allowed him to complete the double jump, entered the first team in his rookie season last season, and now won the MVP when he was a sophomore, which is also the first player among Zhuang Fei's disciples to win this honor, and Zhuang Fei's other Wake Forest disciple Carter is third, Malone is second, Garnett is fifth, and Pierce is tenth.

In the selection of the league's best team, Tim Duncan, Karl Malone, Alonzo Mourning, Vince Carter, and Allen Iverson lead the league's first team, while in the league's second team, O'Neal leads, Garnett and Pierce are on the second team at the same time, the other two players are Grant Hill and Jason Kidd, and the third team is: Hakim Olajuwon, Chris Webber, Anthony McDyce, Gary Payton and Tim Hardaway, in this lineup, Pierce and Carter are both selected as guards, Carter is very active in the Grizzlies' position, the second and third positions rotate to play, and so is Pierce, he and Stephen Jackson in the team are also rotated in the second and third positions, if the opponent's third position is strong offensively, then the more defensive Jackson will appear in the third position, which is why the league finally defined the two as the second position. With this selection to the first team, Carter also became another player in history to be selected to the league's first team in his rookie season, the last player to accomplish this feat was Tim Duncan, who is also Wake Forest.

Pierce and Garnett's selection for the second team directly brought Zhuang Fei the benefit is that the dynasty system has added 1000 points to the dynasty point, plus 500 per person, according to the algorithm of the dynasty system, it is estimated that the first lineup is around 800, the third team is around 300, and the MVP is estimated to be 1000.

The following May 21, the league once again presented an important award, Timberwolves head coach Zhuang Fei won the NBA 98-99 regular season coach of the year, which also made Zhuang Fei 800 dynasty points at the same time, but also won both the NCAA best coach and the NBA best coach of the Grand Slam head coach.

After the two wins at home to the Jazz, Zhuang Fei and his Timberwolves players have become very relaxed, and now they can also use a very relaxed mindset to prepare for the next game of recovery training, the next May 21 and May 23rì, the Timberwolves will also play the Jazz on the road, if these two games have not been settled after these two games, then the last two teams will return to Minnesota on May 26 to play Game 5 at the Timberwolves' home court.

Two away games against the Jazz, in Zhuang Fei's heart, must be the minimum to win one of them, according to the current state of the Jazz team, this task is not difficult, and it is even very likely that Zhuang Fei will win all two games, although Zhuang Fei is very optimistic, but still did not relax jǐng ti, after all, the other party is a team with players like Ma Long.

On May 21, the Timberwolves challenged the Jazz away, Zhuang Fei made an adjustment to the Timberwolves' starting lineup, removed the team's interior Lewis and replaced it with the team's sixth man, Mobley, so that the Timberwolves' starting lineup became Nash, Mobley, Jackson, Pierce and Garnett, this is the lineup that made the Timberwolves' offense fly in the final stage of the last game, because the last game This lineup completely brought up the speed of the Timberwolves, This also made Zhuang Fei see another direction and another way to use this lineup, he wanted to try to see if the effect of this small lineup could meet his expectations, which is also Zhuang Fei's idea of this game, that is, to use the Jazz team to test the effect of this lineup, Jazz is very similar to the Spurs to some extent.

"Zhuang, I found that you are taking risks again" for Zhuang Fei's adventure Jīng God De Anthony is very admired, but he does not agree, if he can win the victory steadily, he will definitely not take risks, the Timberwolves performed very well in the first two games, according to the Westerners' thinking, if there is no bad house, don't repair it.

"I want to try the lineup in this game to see how this small lineup will work, whether it can have the ability to fight with the Spurs" Zhuang Fei said contemplatively, which made D'Antoni speechless, and the Spurs? This Chinese looks down on the pioneers so much?

You must know that now the Trail Blazers have beaten the Spurs away, it can be said that the situation of the Spurs is not optimistic, and even some American media are more optimistic about the Trail Blazers, the Spurs have been stumbling since they entered the playoffs, the first round and the eighth in the West entangled five games, and then won hard, and now they are entangled with the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers have Sabonis and Rasheed Wallace two interior lines that can contain the Spurs' two giant towers, in addition to the Trail Blazers' forward line strength is more than a level higher than the Spurs, In terms of strength, the Trail Blazers are not much worse than the Spurs. Compared to the Spurs' stumbling, the media in the United States is now more optimistic that the Timberwolves, who are second in the West, can break through from the West, and the Timberwolves have shown their strength from the beginning of the playoffs and have not lost in the playoffs so far.

Zhuang Fei was so sure that the Spurs could defeat the Trailblazers surprised D'Antoni, but when he thought that this Chinese's previous predictions never seemed to fail, this also made D'Antoni very depressed, this Chinese would not know witchcraft, right? An absurd question arose in D'Antoni's mind.

Zhuang Fei was able to lead the Timberwolves, a young guard, to blow a young storm this season, not only because the Timberwolves have the potential of these players, but also because they have a dynasty system, and he can always be one step ahead of his opponent with his foresight, which makes the Timberwolves a little indestructible, which makes the Timberwolves hardly have any major problems, because the possible problems are strangled in the cradle by Zhuang Fei's foresight.

Although Zhuang Fei has the meaning of testing the lineup in this game, the lineup that is ready to deal with the Spurs still looks good after meeting the Jazz, which of course has a lot to do with the current physical fitness and good condition of the Timberwolves players, but Mobley's play further suppressed Stockton and isolated Malone even more, although the Timberwolves' interior defense will become fragile, but the Timberwolves do not care about the gains and losses of the interior in this game, it can be said that they strategically give up the interior line, if they can win all on the outside, then it can also allow Zhuang Fei to find the confidence to deal with Spurs.

In this game, the Timberwolves are completely ready to liberate the team's outside offense, he wants to see where his team's maximum offensive ability is, the Timberwolves' whirlwind play at the beginning of the opponent's home court has also created a lot of trouble for the Jazz, this game with Mobley and Pierce's super play Timberwolves away from home, 116-100, the Timberwolves have stepped into the door of the Western Conference finals with one foot, and also became the first team to get a match point among the eight second-round teams this season.

In this game, Mobley's performance did not decline after mentioning the start, and he still contributed 20 points in 30 minutes of playing time in this game, and Lewis also did not fluctuate in play after being put in the sixth man position, and Lewis, who appeared more in the small forward position in this game, was very good on the offensive end, scoring 15 points on 4-of-6 three-point shooting. Garnett's performance was still lackluster, with 14 points and 14 rebounds being passable, and Pierce once again won the best player of the game with a 26-point Timberwolves high.

In this game, Sloan did not let Malone stay on the court all the time, and after just 2 minutes of play in the fourth quarter, Sloan, who saw that the general trend was gone, replaced Malone and other main players. On the same day, the Pacers also won the 76ers 96-86, and like the Timberwolves, they also played a big score to 3-0, and Iverson still had a bad hand in this game, and it seemed that his good luck was ruined by a series of 40+ points in the first round.

The Timberwolves' big win did not make Zhuang Fei too happy, he was preparing for the Spurs in this game, hoping to use the small lineup to completely bring up the speed and play against the Spurs, but from this game, the effect is average, although the Timberwolves' scoring is very high, but the Timberwolves players are very chaotic in their running positions on the court, Mobley and Pierce and Jackson often overlap, it is obvious that if the three people in the Timberwolves' starting lineup are crowded into the second or third position, sooner or later there will be problems, Such a lineup can be a home remedy and a strange formation, but it can't last long.

Zhuang Fei had to find another way.
