Chapter 107 Shen Fei cooks wine and talks about heroes!
"Tony and I discussed it. In this highlight, Kobe almost always used shooting as a finishing method. Even near the three-second zone, he chose to turn over and lean back to finish,"
As soon as Battier said this, the players present suddenly realized.
Yes, Kobe is an offensive museum, with extremely strong breakthrough ability and finishing ability at the basket.
But in this 20-minute highlight, he rarely broke through the paint and almost ended the offense by making emergency jump shots.
"It's getting to the point."
The corners of Shen Fei's mouth rose slightly.
Sure enough, in addition to having strong defensive skills, top defenders like Battier and Tony Allen also have keen observation skills.
"Why is this so?"
Lori on the side asked.
"I know this very well."
Maddie stretched out his hand, and everyone looked at him.
"There is only one possibility. Kobe is suffering from an injury, and it is most likely a knee injury."
t-mac said with certainty.
"Before this season, I was in this situation for about two years... No, my situation was much worse than Kobe's."
Maddie said with a smile, but the smile was somewhat bitter.
"Yes, Kobe's knee should have some minor injuries, which has caused his explosive power to drop a lot."
"Besides, this injury is very difficult to heal unless he undergoes surgery."
"But with Kobe's character, it's probably not possible until the offseason."
Shen Fei remembered that in his previous life, Kobe suffered from knee injuries and played all the way to the playoffs.
He originally wanted to hold his breath, win three consecutive championships, and build a dynasty for the Lakers.
But in the second round of the playoffs, the Lakers met the Mavericks led by Nowitzki.
Due to a knee injury, Kobe had almost no breakthroughs in the entire series (only once stood on the free throw line), and all his offenses were difficult jump shots.
This is also an important reason for the 0-4 defeat of the defending champion!
"To put it simply, the Lakers this season are just a paper tiger and cannot pose much of a threat to us."
Shen Fei came to the conclusion.
This kind of judgment is definitely a blockbuster at the beginning of the season!
The Rockets players looked at each other again, obviously not accepting their manager's rude conclusion.
"You may not believe it now, but time will give us the answer."
"However, the focus of our preparations for the next game should not be on the Lakers."
Shen Fei added.
"General manager...then what do you think will be our biggest opponent if we want to win the championship this year?"
Luis Scola asked.
"The opponent in the finals is basically determined to be the Heat."
Shen Fei said lightly.
Immediately, he opened the second prepared video.
"I sorted out the characteristics of the Heat's offense and defense in chronological order."
Then, Shen Fei explained while playing the video.
"Heat general manager Riley is a believer in 'Ultimate Basketball.'"
"So the Heat's lineup is very mobile, which will lead to their obvious advantages and disadvantages on the defensive end."
"High mobility means they rotate very quickly. Coupled with the terrifying dynamic talents of James and Wade, the Heat's high-post press is absolutely unique in the league."
Shen Fei analyzed.
"Indeed, they used partial double-teaming to complete a lot of steals."
"Once a counterattack is formed, the Janeway connection is almost unstoppable."
Mark Jackson frowned.
"Yes, so when playing with the Heat, we must pay attention to controlling mistakes."
"Once you make a mistake, it's basically the same as giving away points."
Shen Fei said seriously, word by word.
"What about the disadvantages?"
Lori asked curiously.
"Weak inside."
Yao Ming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Shen Fei nodded and motioned for Dayao to continue speaking.
"The Heat's starting big man is Joel Anthony, who is 2.06 meters tall, and his substitutes are two veterans - Juwan Howard and Haslem."
"Including Bosh, what can I say about these four people... they can't guard me, hahaha."
After Dayao said it, he laughed sheepishly.
"Yao is absolutely right."
"When playing against the Heat, the most important thing is to punish them in the paint!"
While Shen Fei was talking, Mark Jackson was writing furiously and taking notes.
"In the game the day after tomorrow, as long as Yao Ming has a chance to catch the ball, everyone must send the ball in as soon as possible."
"The Heat's inside line is like paper in front of Dayao. We must make full use of this point."
Shen Fei ordered.
In his previous life, Pacers center Roy Hibbert was jokingly called by fans in the series against the Heat for playing like O'Neal.
And this guy only averaged 4.6 points and 3.2 rebounds per game in his career.
A similar example is Bismack Biyombo.
This rough guy in the inside actually got a contract worth 70 million due to his outstanding performance in the game against the Heat!
In ordinary games, he can only be regarded as a qualified substitute center at best.
This shows how weak the Heat are inside!
The Rocket generals nodded their heads after hearing Shen Fei's serious arrangements.
"So, as long as we can beat the Heat, we will be the championship!"
Kevin Martin spoke for the second time.
Hearing this, Shen Fei shook his head again: "Before meeting the Heat, we still need to pass the Western Conference, which may be more difficult than the finals."
"West? You mean the Spurs?"
Martin asked doubtfully.
"no."
Shen Fei shook his head.
"Not the Lakers either. Could it be the Thunder?"
Martin asked again.
"Maybe it will be the Thunder next year, but this year they are still a little behind."
Shen Fei said with a smile.
"It's not this, it's not that. Is there any team in the West that is better than them?"
Martin was a little anxious.
"Nowitzki leads the...Dallas Mavericks!"
Shen Fei gave the answer.
"Maverick? Impossible!"
"Everyone knows how Nowitzki performed in the playoffs."
"The year he won the MVP, the Mavericks were defeated by the Warriors. What's there to be afraid of?"
Martin said disapprovingly.
"We have an old saying in China, which is thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river... Oh, no, that's not the saying. People who have been apart for three days should treat each other with admiration."
"Nowitzki and his Mavericks team are definitely underrated."
"Mark, we must focus on research and analysis of the Mavericks' next game, especially their offense..."
Shen Fei continued to arrange.
Mark Jackson nodded quickly and recorded the Asian youth's requests one by one.
Half an hour later, Shen Fei walked out of the conference room.
After he left, all the Rockets generals in the conference room sighed - this manager has something!
............
November 21, Beijing time, American Airlines Center.
The game between the Miami Heat and the Houston Rockets is here as scheduled!
