There is a lot of discussion

On July 1, 2013, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ official website updated the announcement.

The announcement announced that Chen Dazhuang would be the head coach of the team in the new season, and Chen Dazhuang's coaching experience was also announced on the official website.

Once this announcement was announced, it immediately attracted media attention.

You must know that Chen Dazhuang has no coaching experience at all except his coaching experience in the NCAA, and the most important thing is his age. At only 26 years old, Chen Dazhuang suddenly set a new record for the age of an NBA head coach, and according to media reporters

I guess this record will be difficult to break in the future.

And just the day after the Timberwolves announced Chen Dazhuang's head coaching news, former Timberwolves head coach Adelman revealed the reason for his departure from the Timberwolves in an interview with an ESPN reporter.

"Milt is an idiot who doesn't understand anything. I really can't understand why Mr. Glenn would find such a person to be the general manager of the team. Milt has been dictating everything about the team since he arrived. I

I really don’t want to work with such an idiot, I think Milt will destroy the Timberwolves.”

Later, Chen Dazhuang was also criticized. Adelman was asked by reporters about his views on Chen Dazhuang.

"I'm sorry, I don't know him. I don't even know who he is. If I hadn't seen his resume today, I would have thought he was a player Milt found for the Timberwolves. He is just a rookie. I think this season

The Timberwolves are already scheduled to finish last in the league, and other teams can completely ignore them."

Then, under the deliberate guidance of some reporters, many media began to interview the head coaches of the other 29 teams.

It can be said that no head coach is optimistic about Chen Dazhuang and the Timberwolves, and almost everyone is somewhat confused about the Timberwolves choosing Chen Dazhuang as the team's head coach.

"I thought it was April Fools' Day at first, but then it felt like the timing was wrong, okay, this is a joke!" Pat Riley said in an interview with reporters.

"This is a very bold choice, but I think this choice is too risky." Popovich is also not optimistic.

For a time, Timberwolves fans slowly began to believe the outside media's badmouthing of the team.

And it seems to be to verify the views of these media.

During the summer league, Chen Dazhuang's assistant coach Smith led the team, but the Timberwolves ended the summer league without a win. In the preseason, Chen Dazhuang personally led the team, and the result was another win.

For a time, many loyal fans of the Timberwolves came to the club to protest, holding slogans such as "We want Rick, not Chen."

"Chen, your performance cannot shut up the board of directors. You are the head coach I chose. I hope you can shut up those doubters, OK?"

"Understood, Mr. Milt, don't worry. Whether it's the preseason or the summer league, I don't think losing is terrible. It's just looking for problems. When the regular season comes, you will definitely see a different Timberwolves.

"

"But, Chen, I heard that you have been asking the team to practice physical fitness recently. Don't you need to arrange rehearsal tactics?"

"Sir, the league is a long process. I think physical fitness is the most important. Of course, tactics are equally important. Don't worry, tactics are a confidential thing. I already have a very good plan."

"Okay, I believe you, Chen, and I hope you won't betray my trust."

Looking at Milt leaving, Chen Dazhuang wiped the sweat from his forehead. I really want to win too. How could I know that bullshit pre-season games don't provide BUFF? As for training, forget it! Chen Dazhuang

He had a headache just looking at the pitiful numbers on his personal panel. I don't know shit about tactics. I also want to practice tactics, but unfortunately I don't understand. I can only let the players practice physical fitness.

For Chen Dazhuang, apart from the 2 million, the biggest benefit of joining the Timberwolves is that the skill points that used to be 1 point per month are now 2 points per month.

Da Zhuang looked at his personal panel. He really didn't understand how he got such a crappy numerical system.

Name: Chen Dazhuang

Occupation: Minnesota Timberwolves head coach

Tactics: 18 points

Command: 15 points

Skill points: 0

Good at tactics: man-to-man (junior)

After several months of playing in the NCAA, coupled with the past few months of preparation, I finally reached double digits.

It's just that he still hasn't figured out how to upgrade this tactic, what a special elementary man-to-man, which is one-on-one, offensive one-on-one, and defensive one-on-one.

I'm not going to be the shortest-lived head coach this season. I hope I can get some useful buffs in the first few games, otherwise my end will not be much better, Chen Dazhuang thought as he sat in the office in a daze.

In the preparations for the new season in 2013, perhaps as Adelman said, the entire Timberwolves' preparations in the trade market and operations in the draft were really mysterious operations in Chen Dazhuang's opinion.

First, he traded his ninth pick with the Jazz for the 14th and 21st picks.

There is actually no big problem with this change. 2013 is recognized as a weak year for the draft. In Chen Dazhuang's opinion, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Gobert are the only two good choices in the entire 2013 draft.

In fact, based on the two picks exchanged from the Jazz, it is completely possible to win these two people, but it seems that Milt and the entire Timberwolves front office team are focusing on how to deal with Pekovic.

The matter of contract extension came up, so he was perfectly missed from these two people in the draft.

They selected Shabazz Muhammad with the 14th pick, and the Bucks selected Antetokounmpo with the 15th pick.

Then they selected center Dieng with the 21st pick, which resulted in the Nuggets selecting Gobert with the 27th pick.

As for the free market, well, that is even more difficult to describe.

You didn't use Adelman for this damn thing. Instead, you brought in Kevin Martin. Milt didn't seem to know that Martin was Adelman's favorite disciple, and then found Budinger.

Then he found former Timberwolves player Brewer from the free market, and it wasn't until August 15 that Pekovic's contract extension was finally settled.

"Chen, do you really don't need to arrange other tactical training? Is it still like when you were in the school team?" Smith came to Chen Dazhuang's office and asked.

"Trust me, it's no problem, Smith."

"Chen, I have to remind you, this is in the NBA. I don't want to follow you here and have to find a job soon. I might as well have stayed in Las Vegas.

"

"Hey, bro, you should trust me."

"But I really haven't heard of any NBA team that mainly practices physical fitness every day." Smith glanced at Chen Dazhuang with some suspicion and said.
