Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 685 Completing the plan, the fear of the beautiful country fans!

Unfortunately, this suspension did not change the situation.

After returning from the timeout, Curry and Yao Ming successively hit difficult singles.

But looking back, Kobe and Paul are equally awesome.

The two teams fought fiercely for several rounds, but the point difference remained stable at around 5 points.

In the last minute, Mark Jackson called out the last timeout, ready to give it a go!

Curry, Jeremy, Thompson, Danny Green, Yi Jianlian.

This is the desperate lineup sent by Mark Jackson!

The Rockets serve from the sideline.

Green took the basketball from the referee and began to observe his teammates' movements.

Curry was heavily guarded.

Thompson and Yi Jianlian are also being taken care of.

Green watched for a long time, finally found a chance, and passed the ball to Jeremy.

Brother Hao is not good at three-pointers, so he decisively chose to break through.

I saw him feigning in and out with his right hand, and then accelerated, passing Kobe's right side!

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

Kobe, who has defended many times, can't keep up with the full-speed sprinting speed of Kobe.

But the Black Mamba has a wealth of defensive experience. After being passed, he worked hard to follow Shuhao.

In the end, when the latter collected the ball for a layup, Kobe successfully predicted, took off early, and waited for Jeremy to make a shot in the air...

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Kobe blocked the shot with his left hand and sent the ball flying out of the baseline!

The scene boiled instantly.

Lakers fans were pleasantly surprised to find that Kobe's physical condition this season is indeed better than last season, and it seems that he has completely got rid of his injuries!

Shuhao was a little helpless.

[It would have been nice if I had pulled the lever just now, the point of the shot was predicted by him...]

He secretly said in his heart.

The game continued, and the Rockets served from the bottom line.

This time, the opportunity came to Yi Jianlian.

He threw off Murphy's defense by running, and after receiving the ball from the three-point line, he made a quick shot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net!

118: 116.

Point difference, back to two points again!

In the last 40 seconds, the Lakers attacked.

Kobe held the ball through half court and singled out George at the top of the arc.

The Black Mamba did not rush to attack, but lowered his center of gravity, kept changing hands and dribbling the ball, while observing the Rockets' defense.

With 10 seconds left on shot clock, he moved!

I saw him advancing quickly from the right side. After encountering George's block, Kobe turned directly to his back.

Then, he pushed back to the free throw line, blew the ball with his right hand, shook his shoulder left and right, turned and leaned back to shoot!

George was deceived by Kobe's fake action, and his center of gravity shifted, so he didn't take off at the first time.

The next moment, Pickled Pepper's hand touched Kobe's wrist.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded and the Rockets made a defensive foul.

At the same time, the basketball crossed a rainbow-like arc and hit the net!

Two points scored, but also a penalty!

This ball almost ended the suspense of the game.

Kobe walked to the free throw line, and amidst the shouts of mvp in the audience, he hit the extra penalty steadily!

121: 116!

The Rockets have no timeout and can only serve from the bottom line.

Kobe and Paul rushed to Curry at the same time, not giving Mengshen a chance to catch the ball.

Yi Jianlian had an idea, waved his big hand, and a long pass found Danny Green standing in the middle circle.

Green advanced quickly after receiving the ball, and it took only two seconds to complete the shot!

......

......

hit!

The goal went in!

The score became 121:119, suspense revived!

With 18 seconds left, the Rockets could only resort to foul tactics after trying to steal the Lakers' free throws but failed.

Kobe was sent to the free throw line again.

At this critical moment that determines the outcome, the Black Mamba is extremely calm.

After making two free throws, the Lakers' lead reached 4 points, which means that the Rockets need two rounds to catch up!

Yi Jianlian once again served from the bottom line.

This time, the ball passed to Jeremy Lin.

Shuhao advanced quickly with the ball and made a long-range three-pointer!The scene was instantly silent.

All the players and fans held their breaths, waiting for the result...

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

Bynum received the rebound and the game was over!

In the end, the Lakers sat at home and defeated the defending champion Rockets 125:119.

After the game, Curry and other Rockets players did not leave immediately, but stayed very gracefully to congratulate the Lakers players.

Shen Fei left the arena with a relaxed face.

For him, the defeat was no surprise.

The Rockets have changed a lot this season, both in terms of personnel and style of play.

The previous three games were able to achieve complete victories, not only because of the strength of the opponent, but also because of some luck

Today, the Rockets' opponent is the Lakers, the favorite to compete for the championship this year.

Although they also had big deals during the offseason, Kobe and Paul are very mature players, and they will definitely be faster than the young Rockets.

[Leonard and Thompson both played well tonight.By the middle of the season, the two of them should be able to gradually enter the peak. At that time, when they meet the Lakers, the situation will definitely be different. ]

Shen Fei thought so.

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

Shortly after the game between the Lakers and the Rockets, related entries rushed into the trending searches on Twitter.

Countless fans poured into the entry to express their views on the game.

Among them, most fans are pessimistic about the prospects of the Rockets this season.

"Compared to last year, the strength of the Rockets has dropped too much. MVP winner McGrady retired, and Jeremy Lin took his place. But Jeremy Lin's talent can only be said to be above average, and it cannot be compared with McGrady's historical talent."

"On the top floor. Jeremy Lin is not as good as Tracy McGrady on the offensive or defensive end. Even if t-mac is not good at defense, no opponent has ever singled him out."

"Shen Fei is too buddhist in this offseason. It feels like he is already lying in the honor book and has no fighting spirit."

"As you may not know, Shen Fei has long put his focus on the Huaxia men's basketball team. The results of the Rockets this year are not important to him. He only wants to train Chinese players like Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin. "

"I heard that Shen Fei also invited a young Chinese player to train with the team. This should be the first time in NBA history that a team has done this? I really don't know what he wants to do!"

......

Similar remarks abound.

Obviously it was just a loss to the Lakers, so the Rockets were looked down upon by netizens.

Fortunately, the comments from netizens cannot affect the Rockets, let alone Shen Fei.

Time flies by...

A month later, the rocket has a completely new look.

The first is Jeremy Lin.

After a period of adaptation, he has developed a chemical reaction with Curry.

Now this pair of backcourt double guns averages exactly 50 points per game (Curry 26.8, Jeremy 23.2), definitely the top three in the league!

And the other core of the team, Yao Ming, took the initiative to reduce his role on the offensive end, so that the two young men, Shu Hao and George, had more opportunities to make shots.

In addition, Leonard and Thompson have also gradually reached their standard.

Leonard is currently averaging 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks per game in some playing time, and his influence on the defensive end is beginning to take shape!

Thompson even replaced Danny Green and became the first shooter on the Rockets' bench!

The two rookies this year shouldered the heavy responsibility of the transition period, minimizing the impact of the departure of Roy, Lowry and others.

As time went by, the fans were surprised to find that the Rockets seemed to be getting better and stronger!

In the game in January, the defending champion won 1 consecutive victories.

At present, they are 10 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference, leading the Lakers by half a game!

The only team leading the Rockets is the Heat in the East.

This season, both James and Howard have played mvp-level data.

Under their leadership, the Heat only lost 12 game in the first 1 games, which can be described as magnificent!

For the Heat, the only bad news may be that Wade is affected by a knee injury and his state has declined compared to last year.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the Flash is still an All-Star now.

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

The time came to October 2012, 1.

This morning, Shen Fei received a call from Yu Zaiqing, the chairman of the China Basketball Association.

On the phone, Yu Zaiqing said excitedly: "Brother Shen, with the help of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, Kyle Anderson's naturalization issue has finally been settled! He is now a Chinese, and his new name is Li Kaier!"

Shen Fei was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Ding Yanyuhang and Xu Yong have been playing in the development league during this period, but their performance is very average and can only be regarded as a slight improvement.

But in half a year, the Olympic Games will start, Shen Fei really has no time to wait for these two people to grow up slowly.

And Kyle Anderson, oh no, it should be called Li Kaier now, and his talent is definitely far superior to these two.

The addition of Li Kaier will undoubtedly make the Chinese men's basketball team more likely to win the Olympic championship!

[I have to find a chance to strengthen Li Kaier...]

Shen Fei secretly thought, he had already started to figure out what kind of skills are suitable for the sledgehammer.

And the naturalization of the sledgehammer to Huaxia soon aroused widespread discussion on major social platforms!

"This is Shen Fei's handwriting again, right? His hand has already extended to the high school basketball world! And how did he find a rare player like Anderson who is talented and of Chinese descent?"

"Is this the strength of the Rockets scouts? No wonder they have been able to select monster-level rookies like George, Leonard, and Thompson in the past two years..."

"Shen Fei is messing around! Kyle Anderson is one, and there is also a Chinese player named Zhou Qi, who is now training with the Rockets. Does a professional league like the NBA really allow high school students to train with the team? ? Stern doesn't care about this?"

"It's strange that Stern would take care of it... He said in an interview a few days ago that this year's All-Star Game is expected to be held in the Rockets' new arena. There is definitely an exchange of interests! Maybe Stern has It was bought by Shen Fei with money!"

......

Fans are divided.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that North American fans are not very happy about Anderson's naturalization.

In this regard, woj, a well-known reporter from Yahoo Sports, posted a long article on his personal Twitter.

The article wrote:

"The fact that Kyle Anderson was naturalized by China has received a lot of attention today. I carefully browsed the comments under the news and found that the fans are quite hostile."

"Obviously just a high school player, it is not certain whether he will be able to enter the NBA in the future. Why do people reject him so much?"

"I guess, it's out of fear of Shen Fei! This mysterious young man from the East seems to have a kind of magic power to fulfill all the words he said. The players he likes, without exception, have played far and wide. exceeded expectations.”

"Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Jeremy Lin, plus this Kyle Anderson, fans may start to worry about whether the Huaxia men's basketball team will rise like the Rockets in the future and become a dark horse."

"But I have thought about it carefully, and I think everyone is still worrying too much! China Basketball still has a long way to go if it wants to become a world-class team. In the future, if they want to challenge our beautiful country, they must at least An mvp-caliber player."

"Unfortunately, Yao Ming is not such a player. Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin are basically unable to become mvp, and this Kyle Anderson is even more impossible. So... at least in 10 years, Huaxia has no possibility of challenging us!"

At the end of the article, woj gave a very positive conclusion.

Fans seem to love this article.

After a large number of retweets and likes, this article rushed to the hot search, and finally even surpassed the news of Anderson's naturalization in the ranking!

Shen Fei had nothing to do, and when he swiped his phone, he also saw this tweet from woj.

After reading it, he smiled slightly.

Woj is right about one thing, Huaxia currently lacks an mvp-level figure.

But...does such a person need to wait 10 years?

Of course not!

Not even... half a year!

Thinking of this, a figure couldn't help appearing in Shen Fei's mind...Zhou Qi!

"I'll go to the training hall to see Zhou Qi tomorrow..."

Shen Fei murmured.

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

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Fei got up early.

After briefly handling the affairs of the day, he drove to the Toyota Center Arena.

Today, the Rockets will conduct routine training here.

Zhou Qi and Li Kaier will also train with the team!

When Shen Fei arrived at the arena, the training had already started for a while.

He walked to Mark Jackson silently and began to observe the training.

Because Shen Fei didn't notify in advance, Mark Jackson was shocked when he found him appearing beside him.

"Boss, why are you here?"

Mark Jackson asked.

"Mainly to see Zhou Qi, how is he doing recently?"

Shen Fei didn't hide it, and said straight to the point.

Mark Jackson's eyes lit up and he became excited instantly.

"Boss, Zhou has made rapid progress! In the last few training sessions, he has performed very well in the team competitions, and even showed a certain degree of dominance!"

"He is a one-in-a-million basketball genius, comparable to a unicorn like Durant!"

Mark Jackson said seriously.

"Oh? Such a high evaluation?"

Shen Fei said with a smile, there was no surprise in his tone.

In the original time and space, Antetokounmpo won the mvp and led the Bucks to win the championship.

Objectively speaking, he is indeed not inferior to Durant in terms of talent.

Maybe he is not as good as kd in soft talents such as shooting and offensive skills, but in terms of physical fitness alone, Antetokounmpo is even a level higher than Durant!

Therefore, Mark Jackson's evaluation of Zhou Qi is not surprising.

"It's not high at all, what I said is already very conservative!"

Mark Jackson swears by it.
