In fact, when Zhuang Fei left Minnesota, Glenn Taylor was looking for a successor to Zhuang Fei was not the former head coach Van Gundy in New York, although Glenn Taylor was not very clear about the construction of the team, and he also knew a little about basketball, but after all, the team also had a McHale, and at McHale's suggestion, if the summer team wants to maintain the stability of the results and maximize the role of the lineup, it must choose a head coach with a similar style to Zhuang Fei, and this head coach also has enough prestige to be able to hold the court.

So Glenn Taylor's first target has always been the head coach of the Bucks, George Karl, this head coach is also an offensive maniac like Zhuang Fei, and as the head coach of the United States team participating in the World Championships next year, George Karl also has enough prestige to suppress these big names in the Timberwolves team, even if Garnett has complaints about the team, but they will not sprinkle their grievances on such a respected head coach, it can be said that in Glenn Taylor's heart, George Karl is the best candidate to take over from Zhuang Fei.

So after Zhuang Fei left, after receiving McHale's suggestion, the Timberwolves owner sent someone to contact the famous coach, in fact, the two sides had a good conversation at the beginning, and Carl was an ambitious head coach. The current Bucks are good, but they are not enough to achieve his ambitions, and it would be great to be able to accommodate a defending champion like the Timberwolves. But soon Zhuang Fei's words at the press conference after entering Boston shook the coach's originally yearning mood, and when he saw the Timberwolves send Jermaine O'Neal and Jackson away, the coach completely lost interest in the Timberwolves.

Although the current Timberwolves still look stronger than the Bucks. But Carl is not sure about his future in the Timberwolves, even if he goes to the Timberwolves, it is impossible to say that it is to defend the Timberwolves, he needs to create another era, if he can't win the championship, he might as well stay in the Bucks, why go to the Timberwolves to live in the shadow of Zhuang Fei, so the coach quickly rejected Glenn Taylor's invitation, but despite this, Glenn Taylor still did not give up on him. even made him an offer of more than 6 million annual salary, if Carl accepted him would be the fourth highest-paid head coach in the NBA, but it is clear that the current NBA coach really does not look at money so much. Glenn Taylor's lure is unlikely to work.

So in this case, the Timberwolves owner has been lobbying all kinds of famous coaches in the league almost all summer, old Nelson, Dunleavy and even even the Lakers' Phil Jackson, he has cleared it, but the final effect can be imagined, and in the end there is no way to be forced, seeing that the team's new season is about to start, and the team's training camp has also begun, and the team can't be handed over to Sam Mitchell as the acting head coach, so in the end, there was the drama of Van Gundy Jr. entering the Timberwolves.

Van Gundy Jr. is one of the few powerful young coaches in the league in recent years, and the Pat Riley disciple has a good reputation in the current NBA. In 1999, he even killed in the Finals as a black eight, although he was swept by the Spurs in the Finals, but that was also because the team's boss was injured and injured, in addition to reaching the Finals, in recent years, the young coach's record in the Knicks has been top-notch, although there is a difference in style with the Timberwolves, but it is definitely a coach who can keep.

Glenn Taylor also believes the head coach can keep the Timberwolves' results from slipping. …,

Now that the new season is about to begin, and as the defending champion who has won two consecutive championships, the change of coach has naturally become the focus of the league, and Zhuang Fei, who has been immersed in the team's tactical training recently, has even been involved, and the former Timberwolves head coach must release an opinion on this matter.

So on the third day of Van Gundy's tenure in the Timberwolves, Zhuang Fei deliberately held a small press conference, of course. Zhuang Fei's content in the press conference was naturally to wish the former Knicks head coach success in the Timberwolves.

Of course, as an audience who is not afraid of big things, Zhuang Fei's indifferent attitude naturally disappointed them, which is also the recent fact that Zhuang Fei has been immersed in Boston and can't take care of Van Gundy and the Timberwolves, and he doesn't want to care about this matter now.

October 9, 2001, North Shore Garden Arena, Boston

This is the first game in Boston under the leadership of Coach Z this season, so although this is just an inconsequential preseason game, Boston's Celtics fans are extremely high, and the tickets for this game have basically been sold out half a month ago, you must know that although Boston fans have always been one of the craziest fan groups in the NBA, but after such a dozen years of the team not entering the playoffs, even the crazy fans are tired of going to the team to watch the team lose. So last season, the Boston Celers had a very bad attendance, although not as good as the Raptors or the Hornets, but in the end they were also in the bottom of the middle, even if the home game against the Lakers' arch-rival last season was not full of North Shore Gardens.

But this year, the stadium was filled up to 24,000 spectators for a small preseason game, and there was a huge crowd of fans in the plaza outside the North Shore Gardens, and some people even made it to the finals for Boston.

Of course, in addition to the Boston Celtics fans all over the city, reporters from all over the world also gathered at the North Shore Garden Arena at this time, perhaps for the NBA, this is the most high-profile preseason game in NBA history, and now fans around the world want to see Coach Z in Boston.

The Boston Celtics will face the Nets in the East, and like the Celtics, they are a team in turmoil and rebuilding. The team's boss, Kidd, has been brought here from the Suns this season, and the team's core Martin is a sophomore rookie. And not long ago, they traded from the Rockets for athletic small forward Jefferson.

The Nets' lineup for this game is center Todd McNooch and power forward Kenyon Martin. Small forward Keith Vanenhoe, scoring guard Corey Kidders, playmaking guard Jason Kidd, and this year's rookie Richard Jefferson is sitting on the bench, although the Nets are rebuilding like the Celtics this year, but the outside world seems to be a lot stronger than Boston. Except for Kidd, the leader of the team, except for the center who is a little poor, everyone else is a strong player in the league, Martin is the champion, Van Horn once partnered with Marbury, both of whom can contribute more than 20 points per game. And Kidders is also a scoring guard who can contribute more than 15 points per game, and compared to the Boston Celtics, this team is obviously more reasonable in terms of configuration, and there is no shortage of people at every position.

Compared to the Nets, the Boston Celtics are a little shabby, and the lineup of Zhuang Fei in this game is center Yao Ming, forwards Xiao Ao and Maddy, and guards are Jackson and James Posey.

Zhuang Fei has been practicing the tactics of 'point forward' recently, but has been training Maddie to be a point forward, but in this game Zhuang Fei did not use the 'point forward' tactic with Maddie as the core, but a very ordinary general tactic with 'James Posey' as the core point guard, and this game was Zhuang Fei's first game. So Zhuang Fei put stability first in this game. And the Boston Celtics also performed quite smoothly in this game. …,

"James's organization and connection on the point guard are still a little lacking," Zhuang Fei looked at James on the court from the sidelines, and Posey sighed in his heart.

James Posey was able to contribute a 17+7 statistic to the Clippers last season, with seven assists, which can be said to be not bad compared to some second-tier point guards in the league, and James Posey's organizational ability has definitely reached the standard of second-tier point guards, but this is only the standard of second-tier point guards, it is difficult for a second-tier point guard to organize this Boston Celtics to let the Celtics play their full ability, but let James Posey play point guard, although not all the strength of the Celtics, While it's impossible to give the Boston Celtics a chance to win the title, it can keep the Celtics competitive now. At least there is no problem in entering the playoffs, if you play a score, if the current Boston Celtics play ordinary tactics with James Posey as the organizational guard, then the current strength is 85, and the potential is at most 90, as for the 'organizational forward' tactics with Maddie as the core, the current ability is only 75, but the potential is at least 95 or more.

"Actually, James's organizational skills are already very good, but the coach's requirements are too high" Stephen Green on the side also sighed, James Posey was the second person on the outside of Wake Forest, and his organizational skills were the strongest in the team except for Carter and Duncan, even Szczebiak's tactical status is not as good as this guy, even after coming to the NBA, this guy can be regarded as a poor version of Carter or a weakened version of Pippen at the third position, this is a fierce general, His ceiling is there, and he can get the Celtics into the playoffs, but he can't get Boston to win the championship.

And Boston's championship expectations are the tallest Chinese on the court and Boston's most talented small forward, only these two grow up this team can challenge for the championship.

"Speaking of which, Maddie is still a little confused now, and his ability to run without the ball is a little poor, you must know that Vince can be an excellent three-point killer or an off-ball master even if he doesn't have the ball," Stephen Green said with a smile as he looked at Maddie who was scurrying around on the court.

Zhuang Fei on the side also smiled and nodded, Maddie developed a very bad habit in the past because of the competitive relationship with Anthony Walker, and he didn't let go of the ball, so the core of this game is James Posey, and Maddie, Zhuang Fei is not ready to let him hold a lot of balls, otherwise Boston's tactics on the court will be very messy.

Now it seems that this small forward is a lot worse than his cousin, even worse than his cousin in college.

This game was very intense, the Boston Celtics played at home, and under the tutelage of Zhuang Fei, these young people were also murderous, especially the team's organizational guard James Posey, the former Wake Forest organizational guard performed quite well in this game, facing his defense opposite Kidd was a little at a loss, whether it was speed, strength, height, or even defensive skills, the appearance of this big guy in the No. 1 position can make many No. 1 positions in the league scared, although James Posey has a lot of restrictions on Kidd, But in this game, the league's best playmaker still contributed 7 points, 15 assists and 9 rebounds in a quasi-triple-double, James Posey can now limit Kidd's scoring, but for Kidd's passing, no one in the league can stop it now, which is why even if Kidd didn't score many points in this game, it can still entangle the Nets and the Celtics. This is a player who is able to change the situation of the game by passing.

Of course, compared with Kidd, James Posey's performance in this game was not bad, the forward player who appeared in the No. 1 position contributed 18 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds in this game, and was also a quasi-triple-double, but this quasi-triple-double was mainly scored. …,

At the same time, the Boston Celers also won 96-91 at home against the Nets.

Coach Z also ushered in his first win in Boston.

It's just that after the game, many people were a little disappointed that the previous Z coach team's flowing offense and constantly moving passes were gone, and the current Boston Celtics are quite mediocre on the offensive end, and there doesn't seem to be a system, not Wake Forest's triangle offense or the Timberwolves' running and bombing.

And in this game, Boston's former No. 2 Maddy only scored 12 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds on 4-of-12 shooting, and his performance was very bad.

In the next week, the Boston Celtics still played three games, and the Boston Celtics had a 1-2 record in these three games, although this is only a preseason game, but it seems that the current Boston has a lot of problems, especially the team's core player Maddy has performed weirdly in these three games.

When Maddy had more possession, more points, and more assists, the Boston Celtics lost two games, and both games against bad teams like the Bulls and Cavaliers.

And when Maddy had less possession and less scoring, the Celtics went to beat the Bucks.

It's clear that Coach Z is constantly changing the team's tactics, and similarly, one of the team's core Maddie is now in trouble.

Some media outlets have even begun to say it.

"Anthony is gone, James is gone, Tracy is still Tracy, he is still not the real king of Boston" (welcome to your support, is my biggest motivation.) )
