Chapter 143 Hot discussion on the Internet, a rocket on the cusp!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the system mission - break and then stand: the Rockets are caught in a change of ownership. At this critical moment, they urgently need a hearty victory to stabilize the morale of the army!"
"Task content: In the next game, the host's team will win the game with an advantage of more than 50 points."
"Task reward: 1 billion US dollars."
The cold prompt tone, without any emotion, made Shen Fei feel like a spring breeze.
This mission came at the perfect time!
With this US$1 billion, Shen Fei has enough funds to acquire all the shares held by Alexander.
As long as the acquisition is successfully completed, young Asians will be able to step back from being workers and become the real leaders of the Rockets.
At that time, Shen Fei will be freer to operate according to his own ideas without any scruples, and will no longer have any worries.
Moreover, the achievements he has made will not be used as wedding clothes for others.
The better this Rockets team becomes, the greater the profit will be for Shenfei!
[From this point of view, acquiring the Rockets is definitely a matter of complete benefit and harmlessness, so this task must be completed!]
He thought secretly in his heart.
Next, Alexander explained some arrangements for the next stage with the executives.
After the meeting, Shen Fei drove directly to Toyota Center.
In the afternoon, the team will conduct routine joint training.
Shen Fei plans to communicate directly with Mark Jackson to ensure that the task can be completed smoothly.
............
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
While the Rockets executives here are still worried about the team's change of ownership, Rockets fans are immersed in the joy of 16 consecutive victories!
On Twitter, a topic is causing heated discussion-Who can stop the Rockets?
If this question were raised before the start of the season, I am afraid it would attract ridicule.
Who can stop the Rockets? At least 15 of the 30 NBA teams have such strength!
But times have changed, and the Houston Rockets are no longer the same team.
Rockets star and big dream - Olajuwon retweeted a tweet with the following content:
"So far this season, the Rockets have been in a sweet schedule, and the opponents they have encountered generally have a winning rate below 50%. But among them, there are also strong teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat, and there are also upstarts in the league like the Thunder."
"I dare not say that the Rockets are the strongest in the league, but they are definitely a dark horse that cannot be underestimated! Perhaps, we should look forward to the competition between them and the veteran Spurs, or the Bulls, who are number one in the Eastern Conference."
"As the season progresses, we will soon know the true quality of this 'invincible team'!"
Well-known ESPN commentator A-Smith also wrote:
"The only team I can think of that can match the talent of this Rockets team is the Miami Heat, which is fully integrated. But if we had to wait for them to take action, the Rockets may have already set a regular season record."
"Perhaps, there will be an unexpected team that takes the opportunity to end the Rockets players when they are exhausted due to their winning streak."
...
There are many similar comments.
To sum up, everyone has begun to face up to the Rockets' strength and know that it is not easy to defeat them.
Just as everyone was discussing in full swing, a distinctive voice appeared!
"In the next game, I will lead the Clippers to end the Rockets' winning streak."
"I've said it before, I'm going to make them regret trading me."
"If I were still in Houston, I would help them remain undefeated throughout the season and become a legendary team that makes history!"
These tweets are all written by the same person, that is junior brother-Lance Stephenson!
He seemed to be in a state of madness, posting several tweets in succession, each with more outrageous content.
But...the media doesn't care whether his words are reasonable or not.
"Lance wants to kill his old boss, will the Rockets' winning streak be ended by abandonment?"
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Stephenson declared war on his old club in a high-profile manner! Can he prove himself?"
...
Eye-catching headlines were produced one after another, which also made this duel, which was originally due to the disparity in strength (one ranked first and the other last), become quite interesting.
At this time, news spread that Alexander was preparing to sell the Rockets.
This time, the Rockets are once again pushed to the forefront!
Among them, the most anxious ones are naturally the Rockets fans.
"Obviously we have a rising dark horse team, but the boss actually jumped ship at a critical moment! I can't understand it!"
"Excuse me, does anyone know what kind of impact it will have if the team owner is changed?
I have been a fan of this team for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I see the hope of winning the championship. I don’t want to kill this hope in the cradle because of things outside the court!”
"It shouldn't have any impact on players and coaches. In the past, when teams changed ownership, these people were basically not touched.
But... Shen Fei may be in danger. He is the general manager hand-picked by Alexander. He is a typical minister of the former government and is likely to be banned."
"Are you mistaken? I think the most important thing for the Rockets to rise this season is not that Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady get healthy, or that Paul George was selected in the draft, but that they found Shen Fei as their general manager.
If the biggest contributor to the team’s rise is really removed because of the change of boss, I think it’s too unfair!”
"Upstairs, this is not a matter of fairness, but a game of capital. Unless Shen Fei finds a new boss to surrender, he will basically not be able to escape the outcome of stepping down. There is no way around it."
...
The fans were talking to each other, and everyone was worried.
The original joy of winning streak disappeared because of this incident.
After discussion, Rockets fans agreed that Shen Fei is the core of the team and they must not be allowed to leave the team because of "business."
One fanatic fan even said: "The Rockets need Shen Fei's leadership. When necessary, I will go to the Toyota Center to express my thoughts, and I will definitely let the new Rockets executives see it!"
The meaning of these words is also very clear - if Shen Fei is really in danger of stepping down, he will march in protest!
His tweet unexpectedly received a large number of retweets and likes, and eventually even reached the trending list on Twitter!
The discussion became so intense that NBA officials were alarmed.
Current NBA CEO David Stern held a press conference and said: "We will strictly supervise team transfers and will not let non-basketball factors affect the normal operation of the league!"
Rockets fans are excited!
The alliance is going to step in to protect Shen Fei!
