Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 694 Against the king, the Shen family's civil war!

For the current situation, Shen Fei is still very satisfied.

Right now he has two main goals:

One is to lead the Huaxia men's basketball team to win the Olympic gold medal.

The second is to lead Under Armor to become a world-class sports brand comparable to adidas and Nike.

In addition, Shen Fei also built a brand new arena, with the goal of completing it and putting it into use before the All-Star Game.

These three goals influence each other, and all of them are prosperous.

[The All-Star Game is still over a month away, and now the arena is basically completed, as long as the equipment in the arena is adjusted. ]

[If the "Three Generations of Curry" can be released together with the new arena, and Under Armour's advertisements can be infiltrated in all aspects of the entire All-Star Game, Under Armour's influence and popularity should be able to rank among the top. ]

[At that time, Under Armour's mission will be completed, and the legendary skill package obtained will be used by Xu Yong, and the strength of the Huaxia men's basketball team will be able to improve by leaps and bounds. ]

Shen Fei tapped his fingers on the table in front of him, thinking in his heart.

"If it goes well, the Olympic gold medal doesn't seem impossible..."

"Hope everything goes well."

Shen Fei murmured.

............

After the Christmas War, the Rockets' condition is getting better and better, playing a wave of eight consecutive victories.

They currently rank first in the league with a record of 30 wins and 5 losses.

The Rockets' two main rivals, the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers, performed well.

The Heat are currently 28 wins and 6 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

The Lakers are 28 wins and 7 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

In addition, the Thunder are also in hot form recently.

Their current record is 27 wins and 8 losses, only one game behind the Lakers, ranking third in the West.

However, the biggest dark horse this season is the Sacramento Kings!

After the introduction of Roy and Lowry, their strength has made a qualitative leap.

Without too much running-in time, the Kings played pleasing basketball.

Their starting five -- Lowry, Roy, Jimmy Butler, Scola, and Cousins ​​-- are all capable of playing and have a balanced offense and defense.

On the bench, this year's last rookie-Isaiah Thomas, showed super scoring ability.

This season, he averaged 25 points per game in about 16.2 minutes of playing time.The shooting percentage was 51%, and the three-point shooting percentage reached 42%!

Moreover, while Thomas Jr. is calling the shots on the offensive end, the King's substitute players, such as Battier and Whiteside Whiteside.

They protected Thomas Jr. on the defensive end, allowing the latter to conserve his energy and sway freely on offense!

With the joint efforts of the whole team, so far, the Kings have achieved a record of 22 wins and 13 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference.

You know, they were still at the bottom of the Western Conference last season.

But after only one season, the King has become one of the powerhouses in the West, with a winning rate far exceeding 50%!

And such a substantial improvement happened after Ajiali became the acting general manager of the team.

That's where it gets interesting...

Some fans speculated that it was Shen Fei who secretly helped Ajiali so that she could manage the Kings so well.

Some people also believe that since last season, Ajiali has appeared in the stands of the King's home court almost every game.

They have worked hard and have a certain management talent to bring the Kings so well!

Of course, these are just speculations from netizens.

Neither Shen Fei nor Ajiali have ever answered this question.

From Shen Fei's point of view, he never linked the success of the king with himself.

Even though he had given Ajiali some advice, the final decision was always in Ajiali's own hands.

All the decisions are made by Ajiali herself!

Conversely, in Ajiali's opinion, Shen Fei did give her and the king a lot of good advice along the way.

From last season's proposal for the Kings to change coaches, the subsequent draft proposals, and the trade of Roy and Lowry...

Every suggestion of Shen Fei is worth a thousand gold to the king.

Therefore, when others said that the King's success this season would not have been possible without Shen Fei's help, Ajiali recognized it very much.

And tomorrow, the Rockets and the Kings will usher in the first game of the season!

............

Beautiful country time on January 1, arco arena.

The game between the Kings and the Rockets came as scheduled.

Shen Fei took a private plane and arrived in Sacramento yesterday.

Tonight, he and Ajiali came to the King's home court to watch the game.

At this point, the players on both sides are doing their final warm-up.

Shen Fei and Ajiali had nothing to do, so they chatted.

"Fei, there is something I have to tell you..."

There was some hesitation in Ajiali's tone.

"Well, you said."

Shen Fei said lightly.

"I haven't come this month or that one, two weeks later than usual..."

Ajiali's cheeks were slightly red, and her volume was much lower than usual.

Shen Fei was taken aback when he heard the words.

This is...pregnant?

Rao Shen Fei has such a calm personality, his brain is also a little bit down at this moment.

Recalling the contact during this period, the protection measures of the two were indeed not perfect.

"What are you going to do if I do get pregnant?"

Ajiali continued to ask.

"Give birth, the season is over, we will get a marriage certificate."

"At that time, we will hold a wedding in Huaxia, and then we will hold a wedding in your hometown."

Shen Fei didn't hesitate this time, and directly expressed his intentions.

He and Ajiali don't have the slightest financial pressure, even if they have ten or eight children, they can fully support them.

Moreover, although Shen Fei has been loved by players and fans since he traveled to this time and space, he still feels a little alienated.

Ajiali gave him a lot of spiritual comfort.

If there is another child, Shen Fei may be rooted in this time and space physically and mentally.

Ajali nodded.

She has expressed before that she does not want to affect her career because of her children.

But when the new life might come, Ajiali found that she had no way to say no to him!

"Don't think too much about it, it's not certain."

"Let's watch the ball first."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

Ajiali smiled and nodded, then clenched her fists and said, "Today, my Kings will end your Rockets' eight-game winning streak!"

Shen Fei smiled, did not refute, but stretched out his hand to scratch the beauty's nose.

............

Soon, the referee took the basketball and walked to the center of the court.

The starting players of both sides also went to the designated positions one after another.

The King's starting force has many veteran Rockets.

So the relationship between the two sides is very good.

Before the game started, everyone greeted each other.

Lowry showed a warm and innocent smile, and hugged Curry, Dayao and others one after another.

The same is true for Roy and Scola.

It is worth mentioning that when Roy embraced Jeremy Lin and hugged him, he leaned over to his ear, expressing his affirmation of Jeremy Lin's performance this season.

"I have been paying attention to your game. Your dribbling skills are really good. I have the opportunity to train together."

Roy said so.

Shu Hao was naturally very happy to be affirmed by the "senior".

The two immediately agreed to train together after the end of the season.

............

The time for chatting was over quickly, and as the referee tossed the ball high, the game officially began!

Yao Ming and Cousins ​​took off at the same time.

With a big wave of his hand, Dayao sent the ball back to his own half.

The rocket strikes first!

Curry passed the half court with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize.

The Rockets' first attack, as usual, was handed over to Yao Ming on the inside.

Facing Cousins' defense, Dayao decisively played back.

After two consecutive pushes, Yao Ming turned his back and shot!

Since Cousins' foot is very stable, Dayao's back attack did not advance too much just now, so the distance of the backward shot is also relatively far...

"duang!"

The ball hit the side of the rim and bounced out.

Just as Scola thought about jumping off the board, he saw a figure jumping up from him.

It's Yi Jianlian!

He took a step ahead of Scola, received the rebound, and then took off again, causing the latter's defensive foul.

Ah Lian went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

1:0, the Rockets broke the egg first.

The offense and defense switched, and Lowry dealt the card at the top of the arc.

Roy used the cover to pocket out.

Lowry didn't think much, and passed the ball.

Unexpectedly, Leonard suddenly jumped up, stretched out his long arms at the same time, and touched the basketball in the air!

Afterwards, Xiaoka continued to accelerate, took control of the ball and went straight to the Kings' half.

His stride was huge, and he left Lowry behind in a few steps!

Roy chased hard behind him, but failed to catch up.

......

......

"bang!"

Xiaoka used a one-handed dunk to add two more points for the Rockets.

3: 0!

After completing the dunk, Leonard remained expressionless and ran back to his own half without any celebration.

Roy looked at Xiao Ka, who was standing in front of him, with a subtle expression.

The dull-looking young man in front of him is the one who will replace George as the starting small forward for the Rockets.

Roy, who has fought side by side with him for a season, knows how strong Pickle Pepper is and how high his potential is.

But this rookie named Leonard replaced George in the starting position in less than half a season!

Roy was still wondering what kind of qualities Leonard had that allowed him to win Mark Jackson's trust so quickly.

And this defense after the opening made Roy understand a little bit.

[Looks like it won't be easy tonight...]

Huang Mamba thought to himself.

While being vigilant, Roy was also a little excited.

Being able to compete with such a talented player is something he has always dreamed of!

............

The game continued with the Kings attacking.

This time, Lowry and Scola played a pick-and-roll tactic at the top of the arc.

With the help of cover, Xiaogangpao successfully threw off Curry's defense.

Yi Jianlian knew that Lowry had a three-pointer, so he immediately stepped up to defend.

But it also allowed Scola to find an opportunity.

He speeds up and cuts in, and Lowry's pass is also instantaneous.

After seeing Yao Ming in the penalty area, Scola decisively chose the mid-range shot.

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net.

3:2, the king also broke the deadlock.

In the transition between offense and defense, Curry is also calling for cover at a high position.

Yi Jianlian quickly brought it up, and Scola followed suit.

Curry dribbled the ball behind his back, and while shaking Lowry away, he also bypassed the screen.

Then, he suddenly slowed down while he was on the move, and made a "Bai Buddha" to fly Scola, who was assisting in the defense.

"woo..."

There was an uproar at the scene.

But Curry's show isn't over yet.

He took a step forward, then bent his knees to collect the ball and set up a shot.

This fake shot directly made Lowry, who squeezed through the screen, and Scola, who was struggling to defend behind, "fly" out.

Curry smiled and passed the ball to Yi Jianlian beside him.

Ah teamed up and hit a three-pointer!

6:2, the Rockets continue to lead.

In the stands, Ajiali sighed and said: "Curry's shooting threat is too great. I feel that as long as he looks at the basket, our defensive players have to jump up to block the shot."

Shen Fei nodded noncommittally: "He will be the number one shooter in history in the future, so the shooting threat is naturally great."

While the two were talking, the king had already launched a counterattack.

Lowry quickly advanced with the ball, taking advantage of the Rockets' unsteady foothold, and shot a three-pointer!

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

The basketball went into the net hollow, rewriting the score to 6:5.

answer. ball!

After the ball was scored, Lowry shook his fist excitedly.

Since leaving the Rockets, he has been looking forward to the day when he and Curry can exchange three-pointers on the court and compete!

And today, Lowry finally had a chance!

However, for the next period of time, the protagonists of the game will not be the two of them.

In the Rockets' offensive round, after Curry dribbled the ball for half the court, he began to run without the ball.

But Lowry was very focused, following Curry like a shadow, preventing the latter from getting the ball.

Even when encountering cover, Xiaogangpao used his experience to squeeze past Curry skillfully again and again, never losing track of Curry.

Curry couldn't catch the ball, Jeremy Lin could only attack by himself.

This time, it was Jimmy Butler guarding him.

jb stretched his arms, put on a standard defensive posture, and stared at Jeremy Lin with a pair of tiger eyes.

Brother Hao ignored his "cannibalistic" gaze and decisively started singles.

I saw that he first made a series of dribbles under the crotch, and then suddenly started, directly pressing on Butler's half of the shoulder.

A master's move, as long as one party seizes the upper hand a little, it can be infinitely magnified!

Shuhao leaned on Butler all the way to the penalty area, took a step and took off with both feet.

In the air, Brother Hao took the initiative to seek a physical confrontation. After knocking Butler away from him, he shook his wrist and threw the ball.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded, and the Kings made a defensive foul!

And Shu Hao relied on his good touch to score the ball even though he lost his center of gravity.

Two points scored, but also a penalty!

After the ball was scored, Jeremy Lin, who was lying on the ground, raised his right arm and showed off his biceps.

Later, he made an additional penalty and the score was rewritten to 9:5!

However, the Kings responded quickly.

On their offensive possession, Butler and Roy run an off-ball pick-and-roll at the corner.

After the pick-and-roll happened, the attention of the Rockets' two defensive players was attracted by Roy.

And Butler took the opportunity to run back and go straight to the basket!

Lowry looked at the six directions and immediately spotted the opportunity. With a high throw, the ball was passed into the air.

Butler slammed his feet on the ground and jumped with all his strength.

He catches the ball in the air, then slams it hard into the hoop...

"bang!"

A powerful one-handed buckle made the arco center become a sea of ​​joy again!

Butler grabbed the basket and swung around, and after landing, he looked up to the sky and screamed.

In this way, the two teams come and go, and staged a confrontational battle.

With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, the game entered an official timeout.

The score at this time was 25:22, with the Rockets leading by three points.

After the timeout ended, the coaches of both sides dispatched troops one after another!
