Chapter 1 I became the general manager of the Rockets?
"We were only one step away from entering the playoffs last year. We have a lot to do this season!"
"Why hire a young guy to be the manager of the team at this time?"
The old man who spoke was named Rick Adelman, a famous NBA coach.
This year is his fourth year coaching with the Rockets.
"Rick, there are so many strong players in the Western Conference right now. The Thunder, who were eighth last year, are so talented. I don't need to go into details."
"Furthermore, Yao Ming has just recovered and his physical condition is not as good as before. It is still unknown how much he can play this season."
Another old man, Rockets owner Alexander, said with a sad look on his face.
"So you're planning on ruining it, right?"
No matter what, Adelman is a famous coach who once led the Portland Trail Blazers to the Finals twice.
As retirement approaches, he no longer wants to accompany the team into a long rebuilding period.
"There is nothing I can do. Morey died suddenly of a heart attack. I must quickly find a suitable general manager to replace him."
"Shen Fei graduated from Harvard in Management and has excellent theoretical knowledge. Moreover, he is from China, which can just make up for the impact of Yao Ming's injury this season."
Alexander explained patiently.
"Don't say that there are so many things that you don't have!"
"I can see that you are a businessman through and through!"
"You hire this young guy because you value the Chinese market and just want to continue buying tickets."
Admin was so angry that his mustache was blowing.
"Today, I must have an explanation!"
"Or, you can re-elect a capable Lao Jianghu as the team's general manager."
"Either you keep him, and I'll leave!"
Adelman turned to look at the Asian young man aside and said angrily.
Alexander was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke:
"Rick, you are an excellent coach."
"But, if you insist on letting me make such a choice..."
"terribly sorry."
Alexander said no more, the expression on his face already gave the answer.
"good!"
"very good!"
"Since you insist on doing this, I won't accompany you anymore!"
After that, Adelman turned around and left the office without looking back.
Before walking out of the door, he paused for a moment and glanced at the Asian young man on the sofa: "Humph!"
This look was full of unwillingness and hatred, leaving Shen Fei, who had just traveled through time, speechless.
A few minutes ago, he struggled to open his eyes on the sofa.
Before he could think about it, a severe headache made it difficult for him to think.
The influx of information told Shen Fei that he had traveled to 2010 and was about to become the general manager of the Houston Rockets.
............
"Sorry, Shen, I made you laugh."
"From today on, you are the new general manager of our Rockets."
"There are many new players in the team now, so the record this season may not be very good."
"You just relax, get the lineup together, and when Yao Ming fully recovers, we will make plans again."
Alexander patted the Asian young man on the shoulder and said.
Shen Fei was speechless for a while after hearing this.
Wait until Yao Ming recovers from injury before making plans?
If I remember correctly, Dayao did come back this season, but he only played single-digit games and then announced his retirement.
Including McGrady who just left last year, the Yao-Mai combination that Rockets fans had high hopes for completely disintegrated in less than a year!
From then on, Yao Ming "abandoned martial arts and embraced literature" and became the chairman of the China Men's Basketball Team.
McGrady, on the other hand, began his wandering career and never returned to his peak.
In the end, t-mac even moved to the CBA and won the Outstanding Youth Award in Qingdao.
But only Shen Fei knows this.
At this time, he would naturally not refute Alexander.
After all, according to the big boss's intention, this season will not put pressure on Shen Fei's record.
"I understand, boss, I will manage the team well."
The Asian young man said with a smile.
If I remember correctly, the 2010-11 season was a time when the heroes were divided.
In the West, the Lakers had just won two consecutive championships, but Kobe Bryant was extremely exhausted after three consecutive years of trips to the Finals.
The Spurs' GDP troika is keeping a low profile and is now recovering well.
The youth army Thunder seems to be gaining momentum.
Look to the east again.
The three-headed monster in green shirts is getting older and stronger.
James is about to join hands with Bosh to land in Miami to form a new Big Three.
Rose's Bulls and Howard's magic are both things that cannot be underestimated.
Of course, Shen Fei knows very well that if the historical process remains unchanged, the championship this season will belong to Dallas.
Before the start of the season, no authoritative media believed that the Cowboys led by Nowitzki would eventually win the championship.
To sum it up in one sentence, this year’s NBA, the entire northwestern Shanxi is in chaos!
The poor Rockets, in such an environment, have no ability to compete for the championship.
[Let’s just mess around for now, and wait until Harden joins the Rockets in the future before making any plans for record.]
Shen Fei thought to himself.
"By the way, you have two things to do quickly."
"One is the draft in four days. This year we have the No. 14 pick in the first round. Let's make good use of it."
"The second thing is that Adelman resigned as expected. You have to quickly find a new coach before the start of the preseason."
Alexander ordered.
"Don't worry, I will take care of it."
Shen Fei said lightly.
Regarding the choice of head coach, he had no idea at the moment.
But regarding the draft, Shen Fei clearly remembered that there were still many good prospects in this year's first round.
John Wall, the favorite for the No. 1 pick, DeMarcus Cousins, once a contender for the league's No. 1 center, and two wing stars, Paul George and Gordon Hayward.
Of course, there is another special player worthy of attention - Jeremy Lin.
Shen Fei remembered that Brother Hao was the undrafted draft pick this year.
"Start from the draft and plan the rise of the Rockets,"
"Yao Ming has not been completely reimbursed yet. If possible, we still have to save his career."
Shen Fei murmured to himself.
He did what he said, and immediately asked his assistant to summon the top executives of the Rockets to prepare to get to know everyone.
However, just as Shen Fei started to work, a cold metallic sound suddenly sounded in his mind:
"Ding! It is detected that the host is working as a team manager, and the [Legendary Manager System] is being bound..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Binding successful! Now release the main mission - debut is the peak."
"Mission content: Lead the Rockets to win the NBA championship this season!"
