Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 681 Fighting the Lakers, the meaning of Paul!

Mark Jackson was also a man of action.

After receiving Shen Fei's instructions, he changed the team's rotation in the second game.

Curry and Jeremy still start together.

But Jeremy played for about 5 minutes in the first quarter before taking a rest, and Curry played the entire first quarter.

Then in the second quarter of the game, Jeremy will serve as a core guard and lead the substitute lineup to play for about 6 minutes.

In this way, both he and Curry can get enough rest time, and both can play freely on the court without worrying about the other not getting enough possession of the ball.

In the next two games, the Rockets' opponents were the Magic and the Spurs.

In the two games, Curry continued the fiery touch of the first game, scoring 28 and 31 points respectively.

Shu Hao only scored 12 points in the first game, but after the change, he scored 25 points and 23 points successively.

The backcourt combination of the two partners can be called the "golden double guns".

Coupled with Yao Ming's stable output in the interior, the Rockets won both games and won three consecutive victories.

Such an excellent record is beyond the expectations of most fans, and even some Rockets fans.

In their view, McGrady's retirement made the Rockets lose their only superstar.

They originally thought that although the Rockets would not suffer a drastic drop in performance like the Cavaliers did after James left last year, they would still have to go through a period of pain.

I never thought that the Rockets started with a wave of three consecutive victories, and their opponents were not weak.

In addition to the Magic, the Celtics and the Spurs are league powerhouses that must not be underestimated!

The famous ESPN commentator-a-Smith wrote on his personal Twitter:

"Curry's transformation and Jeremy Lin's evolution have basically filled the vacancy left by McGrady's retirement. The outstanding performance of several rookies also makes the Rockets' bench look still strong."

"Maybe Leonard, Thompson, and Parsons are far less famous than Mesozoic players like Roy, Lowry, and Tucker, but they work hard and are very talented."

"I think, Shen Fei has once again shown his vision in selecting candidates. The Rockets are still in the first echelon this year!"

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

In addition to the Rockets, the Kings also played well in the three games of the new season.

Although they lost to the Lakers who just got Paul in the opener.

But in the next two games, the Kings beat the Clippers and Nuggets by 10 and 15 points, respectively.

Among them, Roy's performance is very dazzling.

In three games, he averaged 27 points and 4 assists.

Lowry contributed comprehensive data averaging 17 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, and 1 steal per game.

Moreover, he can create at least one offensive foul by the opponent in every game, which provides a huge help for the Kings on the defensive end!

In addition, Thomas Jr. also scored 20 points in the third game, which surprised many people.

The king's outstanding performance also made Ajiali, the acting general manager, very happy.

In order to express her gratitude to Shen Fei, she made a special trip to Houston to discuss the meaning of life with Shen Fei.

Afterwards, Ajiali leaned on Shen Fei's arms and said contentedly:

"Fly, the Rockets are going to play the Lakers in the next game."

"The Lakers are very good this season. The opening game beat us to nothing."

"The backcourt combination of Kobe and Paul feels like the strongest in the league right now."

Shen Fei smiled slightly upon hearing this.

He has no objection to Ajiali's point of view.

Bryant is recovering from a knee injury and is still on the tail of his prime.

Coupled with Paul, who is at his peak, it is indeed not to be underestimated.

The two can not only provide a stable output on the offensive end, but also take the lead in defense, providing the Lakers with a strong perimeter defense.

Shen Fei watched the video of the game that the king lost.

The combination of Lowry and Roy is definitely the league's first-class perimeter combination, but it is still obviously inferior in front of Paul and Kobe.

As for the Rockets, Curry, who has completed his transformation, is better than Paul, but Shuhao will definitely suffer a loss when he faces Kobe.

Fortunately, the Rockets have a lot of defensive resources on the outside, and Brother Hao doesn't need to spend a lot of energy on the defensive end to match up with Kobe.

"They are indeed very strong. Paul, Kobe, and Bynum can be regarded as the Big Three."

"Let's play and see. The Rockets have a lot of new players this season and are still in the running-in period. If they lose tomorrow, it's normal."

Shen Fei said lightly.

He and the Rockets now hold a championship, and their mentality is very different from last year.

Last year's Rockets were determined to make a name for themselves.

In every strong dialogue, Shen Fei hoped that the team would win.

But this year the situation is different from before.

If he was only pursuing NBA results, Shen Fei's operations during the offseason would be very different.

At least half of the reason for the current configuration of the Rockets is to train Chinese players!

Troop training is a long process, and even with the help of the system, it cannot be accomplished overnight.

A loss in the regular season, in Shen Fei's view, is actually insignificant.

"I hope Shu Hao can gain something in this game. Kobe and Paul will definitely take turns to 'take care' of him."

Shen Fei added with a smile.

Ajiali nodded, then turned to ask: "How is your rest?"

"I've rested a long time ago, am I waiting for you?"

As Shen Fei said, he stretched out his hand to caress Ajiali's skin.

[The eldest daughter of a rich family has good skin, she is pampered...]

He couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"Well...I've rested too."

Shen Fei's fingers seemed to have magic power.

Ajiali couldn't help but snorted, her face was flushed, but her mouth was not afraid at all.

"Let's do another round then."

Shen Fei smiled slightly, and what followed was another big battle!

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

A day later, Staples Center.

The much-anticipated game between the Rockets and the Lakers is on schedule!

Such an important game, CCTV will naturally not miss it.

"Hello, viewers, welcome to the NBA game broadcast brought to you by cctv-5."

"I'm Yu Jia!"

"I'm Yang Yi."

In the broadcast room, two commentators started.

"Today I bring you the focus game - the match between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers!"

"Director Yang, can you briefly analyze this game for us?"

Yu Jia asked.

"Okay. I just got the starting lineups of both sides, let's read it to everyone first!"

"The Lakers sent: Paul, Kobe, Matt Barnes, Troy Murphy and Bynum."

"The Rockets sent a lineup of Curry, Jeremy Lin, George, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming."

Yang Yi introduced.

"I believe everyone is familiar with the Rockets' lineup. On the Lakers side, Paul replaced Fisher. This is undoubtedly a change that everyone is most concerned about."

"Director Yang, do you think Paul's joining has given the Lakers a qualitative leap in strength?"

Yu Jia continued to ask.
