Chapter 105 The curtain falls, prepare for the Heat!
Shen Fei was stunned when he heard this, but before he could reply, Alexander on the side stopped.
"Vivek (Ranadev), you old boy, why don't you give up?"
"That's what I'm saying. If you want to poach Shen Fei, you have to get over me!"
Alexander said half-jokingly, but the other three people present could feel that his attitude towards this issue was very firm.
A suggestion of 10 million?
If Shen Fei accepts it, even if he does not switch jobs to the Kings now, he will definitely go to Sacramento once his contract with the Rockets expires in the future.
"Shen, don't worry, I will give you a salary increase after a while. If you work hard on the Rockets, the benefits will definitely be indispensable!"
Alexander said confidently.
But in his heart, he still felt a little sad.
Ranadive's export is only 10 million, so naturally his remuneration to Shen Fei cannot be shabby.
However, Alexander's other businesses have not been going well recently, and funds are somewhat tight.
Fortunately, the Rockets' strong recovery has increased his income a lot.
In other words, Alexander now has to rely on Shen Fei, but he is also unable to give corresponding rewards to the Asian youth.
[If I had known earlier, I would not have allowed Ranadive to come to watch the game, and it would have been a waste of time...]
Alexander was depressed.
Shen Fei on the side saw his boss reacting so excitedly and shook his head slightly without any trace.
After all, Alexander's situation is smaller.
"I was just joking. I'm fine now, and treatment is not my main consideration."
Shen Fei said lightly.
Relying on the rewards from the previous two missions, he is now a rich man worth US$3 billion.
A mere 10 million, in the eyes of Shen Fei today, is far less important than completing system tasks.
After all, as long as you have a system, money will come naturally.
"As for the suggestions, let me tell you. Whether they are useful or not, you have to test them yourself."
Shen Fei looked at Ranadive and said.
"Please say."
Ranadive said seriously.
"If you want Evans to grow wildly and play at the expected level, you need to know where his advantages are. In other words, you need to know why he played so well in the first year."
Shen Fei began to analyze.
"Tyreke is well-rounded and has no obvious shortcomings except for his average shooting."
"And he is very strong, and he has no problem fighting against ordinary small forwards."
"But with both height and strength, Tyrek's transportation control skills are very good!"
Ajiali raised her hand and spoke.
"Well, you're on to the point."
Shen Fei smiled and nodded.
It seems that this wealthy lady is not just here to make soy sauce, she has actually done some homework.
"In my opinion, Evans' dribbling rhythm is the best in the league."
"This kind of heavy defender can also have breakthrough capabilities. It is an absolute nightmare for the opponent's defender."
The Asian young man continued.
"Then why has his data dropped so much this season?"
"In order to let him release his firepower better, we specially sent another point guard to help him share the organizational pressure."
Ajiali asked puzzledly.
"Basketball is not as simple as a mathematical formula."
"A player's performance may be good or bad. In addition to physical factors, his playing habits and the different defensive players he faces must also be considered."
"The Kings equip Evans with a point guard, which can really help him save energy in organizing offense."
"But Evans has been a point guard for more than 20 years. His entire skill set and the muscle memory of most of his technical moves are matched with the No. 1 position."
"Now pushing him to the second or third position is equivalent to asking Evans to overturn his existing experience and start over."
Shen Fei spoke eloquently.
Ajiali nodded frequently. The coaching staff did not consider this before.
This is also related to the fact that Evans was too good in his debut season.
The Kings unanimously believe that such a talented player should be able to adapt to his new position quickly.
"I understand the playing habits, but what does the 'difference in defensive players' mean?"
Ajiali continued to ask.
"It's very simple."
"If Evans plays the one position today, he will at least be facing off against our Ty Lawson most of the time."
"In this matchup, Evans has an absolute advantage in height and strength."
"Without the help of his teammates, Lawson won't be able to pose much of a threat to him, and Evans can score many simple goals."
Shen Fei looked down at the competition and explained with examples.
"But Evans is now playing the two position, and we can let Tony Allen, Paul George, or even Shane Battier guard him."
"Facing any of these three, Evans has no advantage in size, and he is not good at speed, so he cannot use speed to open up the situation."
"This is also the reason why he has been struggling so much until now."
Shen Fei talked eloquently.
After saying this, not only Ajiali nodded frequently, but Ranadev's eyes also lit up.
"In other words, as long as we let Tyreke return to the point guard position, he can return to his past level?"
Ranadive asked somewhat eagerly.
"I can't say for sure, but there is a high probability."
Shen Fei said lightly.
He clearly remembered that exactly eight years later, Evans regained nearly 2,055 figures with the Indiana Pacers.
From the age of 20 to nearly 30, Evans finally showed his rookie season again.
Coincidentally, that year, he played the role of the Pacers' backup point guard!
Ajiali felt like she had found a treasure and kept recording.
Ranadive was also very excited.
After hearing Shen Fei's analysis, he suddenly felt that "saving" Evans was just around the corner!
[In this way, there are Evans and Cousins, one inside and one outside, two young people...]
[The Kings may be able to return to the playoffs soon after I take over!]
Ranadive thought in his heart.
............
It is still unclear whether the suggestions given by Shen Fei are effective.
But at least today, the Kings had no time to correct the chaos.
Throughout the game, they were firmly suppressed by the Rockets, who played at home.
Although the points difference between the two teams was not big, the Kings were never able to make a shock wave.
It was suppressed from the beginning of the game, and the emotions of the players were also relatively depressed.
Cousins is even more so!
He had a disagreement with Scola in the first half, and had a conflict with Tucker in the second half.
With two minutes left in the third quarter, Cousins' mentality completely exploded.
When he was covering, he deliberately used force to push Tucker to the ground, and was called a technical foul by the referee on duty.
Cousins was dissatisfied and chattered at the referee. He successfully received his second technical foul and was ejected.
At this point, the Kings' morale plummeted, and the players also lost their fighting spirit to make a comeback.
When the red light on the timer lights up, the game comes to an end.
In the end, the Rockets defeated the Kings 120:107, winning their 12th consecutive victory!
Among them, the temporary backcourt duo of Ty Lawson and Paul George performed best.
The former scored 25 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds, while the latter scored a game-high 32 points and also sent 3 steals.
............
After watching the game, Alexander and Shen Fei bid farewell to Ranadive and his daughter together.
When parting, Ajiali kept asking Shen Fei questions, and she reluctantly left until Ranadive's private plane was in place.
"Well, little girl, my eyes are filled with stars when I look at you."
"There's a chance, Shen! Work hard, hahaha~"
Alexander laughed loudly.
Shen Fei smiled and shook his head.
He has no intention of focusing on his relationship right now.
Moreover, the Rockets' next game is crucial.
As soon as the game against the Kings ended, Shen Fei had already begun to think about how to deal with the Heat with the Big Three!
