If Zhuang Fei's purchase of the run-in scroll from the system store was the first step, then Zhuang Fei's second step when he called Stephen Green and D'Antoni to his house early in the morning two days later and took away two large boxes of boxes.

The boxes were very heavy, and Green and D'Antoni didn't know what they contained, so they just took these large boxes to the team's training hall according to Zhuang Fei's instructions.

"This is leggings? Could it be that these two boxes of things are leggings? D'Antoni and Steve Green looked at Zhuang Fei in surprise and said.

He is a veteran basketball person, from the player to the coach, he has never seen the coach of that basketball team use sandbags in training, is it like Chinese kung fu to practice light skills? D'Antoni laughed to himself at the thought of this. Chinese Kung Fu? How could there be such a thing.

Zhuang Fei took out a 2-kilogram sandbag leggings from the box and threw it gently into the sky, feeling really heavy, but this weight should not cause too much burden for these NBA players, which he specially ordered from a martial arts gym.

"Mike, don't you think this can make those players more tired, although they are tired now, but they are all mentally and mentally tired, I not only want them to be mentally and mentally tired, I also want them to be physically and physically tired, so that they can have the best training effect"

D'Antoni looked at Zhuang Fei's smiling face, cold sweat broke out on his back, even Green who had followed Zhuang Fei for a long time, in Green's opinion, Zhuang Fei was very devilish in Wake Forest, but compared to now, it is really a little insufficient, even if a person is tied to 2 2 2 kg sandbags for 8 hours, he can't stand it, let alone a large amount of exercise?

"We're going to focus on the team's offensive and defensive speed in the new season, and when these players can play with a good attacking speed with a sandbag strapped, what will happen when they pick up the sandbags?" Zhuang Fei smiled at D'Antoni.

D'Antoni's body trembled slightly, he had never thought of using this method to train players, although Zhuang Fei's method was peculiar, but it was not necessarily unreasonable, but he was still a little worried: "Will it cause unnecessary injuries?" ”

"Rest assured, this will not only not cause injuries, but also give them a reserve of physical energy," Zhuang Fei said with a smile, 2 kilograms is an appropriate weight. He had already inquired with the martial arts instructor who bought the sandbags.

"Coach, is this how those light skills of flying eaves and walking walls in China are practiced?" asked Stephen Green curiously.

"Maybe" Hearing Zhuang Fei's answer, Green was a little jumpy, this kid was poisoned by Chinese kung fu.

Sam Mitchell has been in the league for thirteen years, although he has only spent time in the Timberwolves and the Pacers, but he never thinks that this is used to train basketball players. Has anything like this ever happened to the 29 teams in the league? He was sure that absolutely not.

"Sam, this Chinese just wants to fix us," Anthony Piller complained to Sam Mitchell between trainings. He really couldn't help it, is this Chinese teaching Chinese kung fu? If that's the case, it's better to teach magic.

"Shut up, what did I say, forbearance, didn't you see that the training sessions of those newcomers are all the same" Sam Mitchell said coldly and angrily, and some old players who wanted to complain like Anthony Piller also flinched when they saw Mitchell angry.

What made Zhuang Fei very happy was that his new measure did not cause much backlash, especially the reaction of the old players surprised him, which also gave Zhuang Fei a new understanding of the professionalism of NBA players, but what Zhuang Fei didn't know was that this was not a problem of professionalism at all.

The shrinking season, the time is indeed very limited, the training camp starts on January 10, and the regular season starts on February 5, during which there are only 25 days, and during this period, the Timberwolves still have two preseason games, it can be said that the time left for Zhuang Fei's training is too short, even if he buys the run-in acceleration scroll, this time is still too short.

"Zhuang, your method is really effective, it's only been a week, their results have exceeded my expectations, I expect them to reach up to 30% of my standard during the whole three-week training period, now it seems that they have reached the standard now, this is only a week, we still have two weeks" D'Antoni was excited, Zhuang Fei's unheard of new method is really effective.

After using the run-in acceleration scroll for a week, the team's tactical training effect has been significantly accelerated, which is still in the case of players tied to sandbags, which also makes Zhuang Fei breathe a sigh of relief, and the run-in acceleration seems to be helpful for tactical training, because the tacit understanding between these players is getting better and better, not only in the offensive running and bombing, but also in the tacit understanding of the defense. Since tying the sandbags, these players will reach their physiological limit after only four hours of training, but the results of these four hours of training are better than the previous eight hours, which also makes Zhuang Fei happy, so the remaining four hours Zhuang Fei can be used to arrange other training, such as the players' defensive position training. This is also a test of tacit understanding.

"It's too early to say this, reaching 30% in a week does not mean that it can be 90% in three weeks, and it is difficult to say what kind of realm the team can really achieve in this short period of three weeks" Zhuang Fei smiled slightly. It was all thanks to the Speed Up Scroll, but it was a surprise to him to be able to achieve such an effect.

However, in D'Antoni's view, the team's ability to achieve results that exceeded his expectations was brought about by Zhuang Fei's innovation, which also made D'Antoni's eyes look at Zhuang Fei with a lot of respect.

After two consecutive weeks of training, the Timberwolves finally ushered in the first game of the season on January 26, although it was a preseason game, and the opponent was only the super weak Los Angeles Clippers, but the performance of the Timberwolves was not good, the Clippers and the Timberwolves were evenly matched throughout the game, until the last moment Pierce's 6 points in a row allowed the Timberwolves to get rid of the bitter fruit of defeat, 115-112, the Timberwolves only won three points, and let the Clippers score 112 points, shooting as high as 57%. The team's defense was extremely poor.

In addition to defense, what makes everyone criticize the most is that Zhuang Fei's starting lineup is actually Garnett, Rashad Lewis, Pierce, Stephen Jackson, Nash and other all-young players lineup, last season's main players Sam Mitchell and Anthony Piller were excluded from the starting lineup, and Nash, who was pinned on by Zhuang Fei, contributed 8 assists and 7 turnovers in this game, in addition to being beaten by Darik Martin who was opposite him on the defensive end, Darik Martin is a point guard who is only 1.80 meters.

However, this is not to say that the Timberwolves do not have shining points, Garnett is tougher than last season, and is more active on the inside, no longer obsessed with floating on the outside, another highlight is naturally Pierce, who scored the most points in this game, especially when Nash made consecutive mistakes in the second half and lost himself, Pierce stepped up, took over the ball from the team, and performed extremely well, pressing the Clippers' center champion Michael Olowokandi more than a step away.

"We all know that Coach Z is not a defensive head coach, he was obsessed with offense in college, his showteam is unforgettable, but the NBA is not NCAA, defense is king here, and Garnett is not Duncan, Duncan is a player with his own defensive system, Garnett has not reached this height, although we have seen Garnett's progress in this game, but this is not enough, of course, I think Pierce's lack of stage fright and star demeanor in this game will make Coach Z relieve a lot of pressure, Pierce for Marbury may really not be impossible, no matter how difficult this game is, after all, the Timberwolves still won, maybe Coach Z has now found a way to win the game, we need to wait patiently" This is the report of this game in the United States today, which is quite objective, but it is more about the maintenance of Zhuang Fei. Call for Zhuang Fei to be given time.

Although there is the maintenance of today's United States, the performance of Nash and Jackson and Lewis is not sè, and even the Timberwolves' home court will sound boos after Nash gets the ball, not to mention the more realistic media, so most of the mainstream media are criticizing Zhuang Fei's use of people only lightly, and the light is young and light.

"You can still laugh in this situation, I really admire you," said D'Antoni Zhuang Fei's newspaper, a small local Minnesota newspaper with the headline "Chinese, please get out of Minnesota with your Phoenix Suns."

"What's this, life doesn't shift according to their will," Zhuang Fei said indifferently. Oppugn? It's not like it's not uncommon.

Soon, on January 29, the Timberwolves once again hosted their second opponent of the preseason, the Phoenix Suns. Facing his old club, Tom Gugliotta, one of the former Timberwolves' three musketeers, was cheered on by Timberwolves fans, and Garnett was a little scrambling against the interior combination of Luke Langley and Tom Gugliotta.

Fortunately, in this game, Pierce played again, and Kidd missed consecutive open three-point shots in the fourth quarter to help the Timberwolves hold on to the victory.

"Paul Pierce is so stable, the mentality is so good" D'Antoni said standing next to Zhuang Fei, he doesn't know Marbury very well, but with the potential that Pierce is showing now, he is absolutely top-notch, with comprehensive skills, good shooting, solid body, and the most important thing is that he can dare to ignore Garnett at critical moments. At the end of the fourth quarter, in the face of Garnett's scolding and shouting for the ball, Pierce ignored it and went directly to himself, although Garnett was embarrassed by the Suns' two big interior lines in this game, but he is the boss of the team after all, but Pierce's behavior of ignoring the boss is the so-called star style in the eyes of the media and fans. D'Antoni thinks so, too.

Zhuang Fei also nodded lightly, Nash is not in good shape, Pierce will always take over the game independently, this is not a tactic arranged by Zhuang Fei, but Pierce can make his own adjustments according to the situation on the court, and show sè, now Pierce has won the unanimous trust of the Timberwolves, even those old Timberwolves players are like this, and their attitude towards Pierce is much better. And he also became one of the few players in the Timberwolves who received the ball and the fans applauded.

This is the reality of basketball, where strength is everything.

It is in this environment that Zhuang Fei will face the first opponent of his NBA career, the Denver Nuggets, on February 5.
