Zhuang Fei was very happy to solve the matter of Rashad Lewis, the team finally resolved a crisis, and Zhuang Fei did not make much effort, but the team's other crisis has not been resolved, that is, the team's losing streak, the current Timberwolves have lost two consecutive games, and the team's ranking has fallen from the second in the West to the fourth in the West, and now the Timberwolves are ranked first in the West, the Spurs in the second place in the West and the Trailblazers in the third place in the West.

And Zhuang Fei and his Timberwolves' next opponent is the Trail Blazers, who are ranked third in the West. Despite the fact that the Trail Blazers have been in the first round of the playoffs for the last three years, they have definitely been strong this season, and former Lakers head coach McDonleavy who took over the team in 1997 has now basically polished the team into shape. The fighting power is very strong.doulaidu.

Besides, the Timberwolves don't have much capital to laugh at the Trail Blazers, the Timberwolves only made the playoffs for the first time last year, and the core of the team that reached the playoffs last year has left more than half of them, and now these young players of the Timberwolves such as Garnett, Nash, Pierce, these players have great potential and have a very bright future, but what about the Trail Blazers?

Trail Blazers starting center Avidas Sabonis, the name Zhuang Fei is not unfamiliar at all, as a fan of Yao Ming, he naturally knows that Yao Ming entered N

Who is the template of A, this 2.21m high school forward is a Hall of Fame player in the future. Although he is 34 years old, his dynastic system still has a high rating of 82 points.

The Trailblazers' starting power forward Rasheed Wallace, this person Zhuang Fei is even more familiar, one of the five Tigers of the future Pistons, the No. 4 pick in 95, and the current dynasty system rating is 85 points. Compared to his fellow rookie in '95, his growth has been much slower than Garnett's, but his strength should definitely not be underestimated.

The Trail Blazers' starting small forward, Brian Grant, who has a similar style to Garnett, is actually a small forward with a big forward, and his ability value is also the lowest among the Trail Blazers' five starters, 81. The player is averaging 12 points and 10 rebounds per game this season.

Trail Blazers starting point guard Isiah Ryder, the former head player of the Timberwolves, Garnett signed that big contract last season, most of the reason is attributed to the former Timberwolves' traitor, in order to prevent Garnett from leaving like Isaiah Ryder in the end, the Timberwolves owner chose to renew Garnett's contract early at a high price when Garnett has one year left on his contract, and the ability value of this scoring guard is 86.

The Trail Blazers' starting point guard, Damon Stoudemire, known as Isaiah Thomas Jr., was the best rookie in the world in 1995, averaging 19.4 points and 8.6 assists per game during his three years with the Raptors, with an ability rating of 85.

There are also Trail Blazers bench with Jim Jackson and Walter Williams, one of the former Dallas three "Js" who have new signings this season, with one rating of 83 and the other of 80. Of course, there is also Xiao O'Neill, who Zhuang Fei can't ask for, and his ability value is only 77.

This is the most average ability Zhuang Fei has ever seen a team, they don't have superstars like Olajuwon, O'Neal, Duncan, and even no one in their team has a higher ability value than Garnett or Pierce, but they are enough to play in each position, this is a team without shortcomings and dead ends, such a team reminds Zhuang Fei of the Pistons composed of five tigers in the future, this team may not have five tigers in terms of individual ability and team as a whole.

And what about the Timberwolves? With the exception of Garnett, Pierce and Jackson, everyone else is under 80, and Jackson is just over 80. There is a huge disparity in strength.

Dunleavy's Trail Blazers are mainly based on interior tactics, because they have the most traditional interior combination, and if they have such an interior lineup and run like Zhuang Fei, it will be a problem. So this game is a battle of speed and height.

There is a lot of pressure, Zhuang Fei used the scouts of the dynasty team in this game, and it can also be seen that he attaches great importance to this game, the Timberwolves can not lose again, if they lose again, it will be three consecutive defeats, and the team will be greatly demoralized, and it is very likely that it will continue to lose in a row after a slump.

Zhuang Fei is entering n

A before, in Wake Forest, he bullied the small with the big and the weak with the strong, even if he entered N

A, there are basically no wins in the strong dialogue, the Lakers won because the team's Nash became a Magician, and then the Magic integrated Garnett and Pierce to kill the Lakers with difficulty, and won the Spurs because the Spurs were really not in good shape at the time, and now they are meeting the Trail Blazers who are in good shape.

This is the time to test Zhuang Fei's coaching ability. Zhuang Fei is very keen to win this match and prove to himself that he is not a coach who relies on goldfingers. Although no one knew that he had a golden finger

Feb. 28, 1999 The Timberwolves were playing at home at the Target Center, and the team arrived at the Target Center early to acclimatize, but it was only 5 p.m., and there were still 2 hours before the game started.

At this point in time, according to the habits of Americans, many fans are estimated to have not gone out yet, of course, there are some die-hard players who came earlier than the Timberwolves players, and now there are still more than 1,000 people sitting in the arena of the target center. When these fans at the scene saw Zhuang Fei and his Timberwolves appear, they all stood up and gave them warm applause. This year's Timberwolves are too competitive, even if they have a bad start, and now they are in danger of losing three in a row, but fans are still full of confidence and love for this young army.

"Rashad, you're in the starting line again"

Rashad Lewis looked at Nash beside him, showing a slight smile, he entered the team to start, he asked the coach to give him a chance yesterday, the coach really gave him a chance, he was ready to start from the bench first, after all, Garrett's performance in these games is very eye-catching, he can get two doubles in every game, compared with him, Lewis does not think that he has any qualifications to start directly. So he himself was surprised.

This is the trust of the coach, I can't live up to the trust of the coach, I can't let my former teachers and teammates worry anymore, I have to learn to take it.

Rashad Lewis shook his right hand vigorously and swore fiercely. I didn't forget to look at Garnett, who was not far from him, this same thin guy can play center, why can't I play power forward. It's just that Lewis didn't know that Garnett didn't like to play center before Zhuang Fei came, but he was still given to Duncan by Zhuang Fei, and after being taught by Duncan for a summer, the strong Garnett no longer rejects playing center.

"Come on, Rashad, I'll pass you a lot of balls"

"Thank you, Steve"

Rashad Lewis looked at Nash with some surprise, does Steve and I have such a good relationship? He could see that Nash knew he was the most excited of all his teammates when he continued to start, Garnett and Pierce were a little skeptical, Garrett was a little frustrated and disappointed, and Anthony Peeler and Chris Kyle were disdainful. Lewis was surprised that Nash would be so happy. He was puzzled.

"Rassad, Steve, focus" Zhuang Fei shouted from the sidelines, he is used to a 10-minute intra-team confrontation when the home team adapts to the field, although the intensity of this confrontation is not large, but it can help the players find the feeling of the game in advance.

"Nash likes to work with players like Lewis," D'Antoni said with a soft smile as he stood beside Zhuang Fei.

Zhuang Fei nodded in agreement, Garrett was very good in the first two games, but this has nothing to do with Nash, Nash has hardly passed any balls to this blue-collar worker in these two games, this blue-collar is not suitable for the team's offensive system, is on the edge of the team's system, and such a player is not suitable for appearing in the starting lineup.

"I just hope this kid doesn't dodge, but, Zhuang, according to the lineup of the Trail Blazers, even if Rashad wants to dodge, he can't dodge, you are ready to use the Blazers to sharpen Rassad's determination"

Listening to D'Antoni's words, Zhuang Fei nodded, then looked at Lewis not far away, and showed a mysterious smile

D'Antoni is right, the current Trail Blazers are strong in every position, and Lewis can't hide anywhere, and if he doesn't face it bravely, he can be abused in any position.

However, Zhuang Fei is not all about this, the current Trailblazers are not a gentleman's team.
