(Crazy asking for monthly passes and subscriptions)

After returning from the West, Zhuang Fei and the Boston Celtics basically started busy training again without any rest, for the team's trip to the West, whether it is two wins and one loss in the record, or the progress shown in the team's tactics is enough to make people happy, it can be said that Zhuang Fei and Stephen Green are extremely surprised. []

It's just the same, this team is still showing a lot of problems, and most of the tactical problems need enough time to solve, and at this time Zhuang Fei and his Boston Celtics lack the most time, fortunately, this team is young enough, and the physical fitness is good enough, and the current team's results are also extremely good, which makes this team full of confidence and motivation, especially Maddie, who just won the Player of the Month and Yao Ming, who is the Rookie of the Month, For young players, this kind of reward can bring a lot of different things to them.

The current Boston Celtics are on the way forward, and the Boston Celtics are a little different from the advance, the other team in the East, the Vancouver Grizzlies, is a big problem, in fact, the team's recent repeated civil unrest news is no longer big news, for the current status quo of this team, all the American media are already immune, if it is just the Grizzlies players infighting again, then the American media cannot focus a lot of energy on it again, The main reason is that this kind of news is not as shocking as it used to be, and at the same time, it is a little outdated and not fashionable enough. Just when the media across the United States is slowly pulling back its attention because of the civil unrest in which the grizzlies are slowly becoming less fashionable.

The team did something that shocked everyone across the country when the Vancouver Grizzlies played a suffocating defensive battle with the Spurs in San Antonio on the last day of 2001. In the end, the Vancouver Grizzlies failed again, and the failed Vancouver Grizzlies returned to Vancouver in the early hours of the next morning. Instead of going straight home, some players ran straight from the airport to Vancouver's largest river, the Fraser River, known as the Fraser River.

These Vancouver Grizzlies players didn't go for a walk on the Fraser River at this time, and it wasn't a time for a walk at this time, they came to the highest bridge across the Fraser River and jumped off the bridge. It was January 2002, the coldest time in Canada, and the Grizzlies would have jumped like this, if it weren't for the rushing waters of the Fraser River. The bottom of this big river is completely frozen, and even if it doesn't freeze now, the temperature of the river can be imagined.

And what's even more hilarious is that these Grizzly Bear players' jumping into the river should have been done privately, but what is a little hilarious is that these Grizzly Bear players happened to be caught by a Canadian reporter who went to the Fraser River to sketch in the early morning, and the reporter captured all the scenes of these Vancouver Grizzlies players jumping into the river, even Carter, Billups and even Artest, the muscles on their bare necks and abdomen are clearly visible. []

And the next day, the news of Vancouver players collectively 'jumping into the river' appeared in the newspaper. Of course, in the end, this news also detonated the news circle and sports circle in the United States, this kind of thing is the first time in the history of American sports, players lost the game the night before, and then jumped into the river in the early hours of the next morning, this kind of thing is simply unbelievable.

So the NBA league, which has always been extremely smart and responsive, and David Stern, when he got the news, thought it was an April Fool's joke, and was speechless for a long time in front of the TV cameras and in front of the news reporter's microphone. …,

In fact, as soon as the news spread, the office of the Grizzlies management was crowded with calls from the national and national Canadian media. Everyone wanted to know what was going on, but to everyone's disappointment, the management of the Vancouver Grizzlies, especially their general manager Jerry West, actually denied the incident, if it weren't for the fact that there were photos to prove the authenticity of the incident, it is estimated that these reporters might have been deceived by the sincere appearance of the Lakers godfather.

Although these reporters did not believe Jerry West's words this time, neither Jerry West nor the Grizzlies players came forward to respond to the incident. Obviously, the Grizzlies are preparing to play the news silence, and on the day of the silence of the Grizzlies News, David Stern, who was angry, sent a fine of up to $150,000 to the Grizzlies, and the reason was actually extremely comical 'player misconduct after the game' and 'refusing to accept media interviews'. But even so, the Grizzlies remained silent on the team, and no one knew what was going on with them.

At the same time, on January 1, 2002, the Grizzlies' back-to-back was also the first game of the new year, the home game against the Trail Blazers, all five players of this team did not appear on the court, not even on the team's bench, these five people seemed to disappear directly, and in the absence of the team's five main players, the former Rocket legend Olajuwon, who recently joined this season, played 30 minutes in his first game and scored 25 points and 10 rebounds. And China's inside Bartel also got a chance, and also played 40 minutes to score a double-double of 10 points and 12 rebounds, but the Grizzlies who played at home in this game still lost to the Portland Trail Blazers who came to challenge away.

As for the outcome of this game, it doesn't matter anymore, it can be said that the next day after this game, all the media and fans in the United States are wondering what happened inside this grizzly bear. This also made Zhuang Fei, who had been in an uproar some time ago, and the matter of the triangle attack was completely suppressed, and this move of the grizzly bear also indirectly helped Zhuang Fei

"Coach. Now the Grizzlies are losing again, coach. Looks like you're going to lose this time."

In the office of the chairman of the Boston Celtics, Stephen Green said to Zhuang Fei with a smile on his face. He's always been a bad fan of the Grizzlies, and now the Grizzlies are doing the same, and the team is on the verge of collapse. But even so, what makes Green a little depressed is that their head coach Zhuang Fei seems to have no change in his confidence in this team.

"It's only less than half of the game now, it's too early to say this" Zhuang Fei looked at Stephen Green, who was a little proud, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly. If the current Grizzlies don't know Zhuang Fei very well about the strength of this Grizzly Bear, no matter who anyone will not be optimistic about this team, it can be said that although the national media is speculating about what is happening inside the Grizzlies, it is the same. Almost all basketball pundits and media are criticizing Grizzlies general manager and head coach Jerry West's actions this summer on the same day, and it's clear that Raheem and Reaves, who were sent away by Jerry West, have performed much better with the Grizzlies than Big Ben and Rasheed Wallace they got in exchange. For these experts, this team, which was supposed to be the strongest team in the East, has completely lost the results it should have and brought it into a quagmire, and it is sinking deeper and deeper into this quagmire.

"By the way, coach, this morning when the team doctor did a physical examination of the players, he found that Arenas's leg muscles were in a state of fatigue, and now it is a little close to danger, and it is very likely to cause injuries in the game" Watching Zhuang Fei still support the Grizzlies. Stephen Green just shook his head and put these things down, and then said to Zhuang Fei with a straight face. …,

"Arenas tired leg muscles?" Zhuang Fei was also stunned after hearing the news of Stephen Green, and then quickly opened the dynasty system, and then Arenas's 'physical condition' column was 'fatigue' evaluation, and at this time, most of the Boston Celtics players were in good physical condition in the column, and even Maddy, Yao Ming and Xiao Ao were excellent evaluations. Because he has been very busy these days, Zhuang Fei has not paid attention to the player reports in the dynasty system.

"Did that guy secretly practice again" Zhuang Fei asked Stephen Green with a cold face after turning off the dynasty system, when Arenas came to the team at the beginning of the season. Zhuang Fei issued a ban order, prohibiting Arenas from training, Zhuang Fei's order is very good, this defender who likes crazy training is very strict in the team or at home to implement the orders arranged by Zhuang Fei. It's just that Zhuang Fei never expected that this training maniac started his crazy training again, in Zhuang Fei's opinion, Arenas has always kept his body in a state of fatigue, which is extremely dangerous in this state, if one is not careful, it may cause major injuries, even if you are lucky and do not have major injuries, it is best to get players because of large body damage and small injuries.

Looking at Zhuang Fei's current appearance, Celtics assistant coach Stephen Green also shook his head with a wry smile again.

"Coach, I heard him say that he started to re-train after the Christmas war, as if you had a promise to him, he said to me, as long as his strength is enough, you will let him in, and then have a dignified duel with Kobe" After speaking, Stephen Green also looked at Zhuang Fei a little cautiously, and after Zhuang Fei heard Green's explanation, Green was a little surprised that this coach was not angry, and his cold expression became a lot softer.

"I know" Under Stephen Green's somewhat surprised eyes, Zhuang Fei finally just nodded and said lightly, without too many mood swings, which also reassured Stephen Green.

In Stephen Green's opinion, Zhuang Fei is now letting go of Arenas' private practice, but in the end, what made the Boston assistant coach speechless again was that in the Boston Celtics home game against the Magic that night, Zhuang Fei actually pressed Arenas on the bench for the whole game, and the Boston Celtics' best sixth man of the season didn't play a minute in this game.

Although the Boston Celtics lacked Arenas in this game, but against the Magic who also lacked Grant Hill, the Boston Celtics basically didn't use too much strength to defeat this team, and what made Zhuang Fei even more pleased was that in this game Zhuang Fei was the first time to use the Celtics' extremely 'lame' triangle offense to defeat the Magic, which was the first time the Boston Celtics really used the triangle offense from beginning to end, and then defeated the opponent.

In this game where the Celtics won 107-96, the core of the Boston Celtics Maddy completed the Carter training method in the game for the first time this season, so the swingman scored 32 points and 17 assists in this game, which also set a record for the number of assists in a single game in his career, and another core Yao Ming also scored 20 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, which is also the highest number of assists he has in this season and career. The 25 assists delivered by Maddie and Yao Ming in this game accounted for more than half of the team's 32 assists. The two did play an excellent role in both attack and playmaking in this game.

After defeating the Magic at home, on January 3, the Boston Celtics once again welcomed the challenge of the New York Knicks on their home court, and the recent performance of the Boston Celtics is extremely good, which also sets off the incompetence of the New York Knicks this season.

And this game with the Boston Celtics is also the third meeting between the two sides this season, the first two winners are the Celtics, and they are all big wins, and in this game the Boston Celtics are surprising, the team's best sixth man Arenas is still sitting on the sidelines, and this game The Boston Celtics also easily defeated the Knicks again with a lame triangle offense, but the performance of Maddie and Yao Ming in this game is not as unfavorable as the last game, On the contrary, Kirilenko, who replaced Arenas' sixth man, scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 blocks and 4 steals in 31 minutes in this game.
