Chapter 144 Public anger! The determination of the rocket generals!
This news was soon known to Shen Fei, the person involved.
He was not surprised by this.
If anything, the draft and the free agent market have proven his unique vision.
Now, after the transactions of Griffin, Roy, Anderson, etc., people have already recognized Shen Fei's ability.
In the eyes of most fans, the Rockets' rise is precisely because of this young Asian manager.
Moreover, even if ability is put aside, the fact that Shen Fei is from China is enough for the alliance to pay more attention to expand the market.
Now if Shen Fei is forced to step down without any reason because the team changes ownership, it will definitely have a huge impact on the Chinese market. This is something the NBA or Stern does not want to see.
However, Shen Fei didn't want to be the one being protected.
This will make him feel insecure.
[No matter what, becoming the true owner of the Rockets is the safest way.]
Shen Fei thought to himself.
............
Meanwhile, Toyota Center.
The Rockets generals have finished the first half of practice and are resting, waiting for the second half.
The players sat on the bench in twos and threes, looking at their phones.
Soon, they saw many praises from fans on Twitter.
There is both admiration for the 16-game winning streak and surprise for Roy's return from injury.
Rockets generals share interesting comments they read from time to time, and the scene is very lively.
"Now everyone is finally beginning to face up to our strength, and everyone is discussing who can end our winning streak."
Lori sighed with a smile.
"I don't think it will be difficult for the next few games. I will at least win 20 consecutive games!"
Paul George said confidently.
"Young man, you take it too much for granted. There are no underdogs in the NBA. When we continue to win consecutively, those so-called underdogs will all give 120% of their efforts to challenge us."
Luis Scola, the big brother of the team, said with a smile.
"Yes, when I was with the Trail Blazers, I also experienced a winning streak."
"The longer the winning streak is, the more worried the opponent will be about becoming a backdrop for setting records, and they will work harder to play the game."
"In addition, when we win in a row, we will inevitably have psychological fluctuations. For example, emotions such as underestimating the enemy and laziness will gradually appear, and the difficulty of the game will also increase."
Roy nodded and added.
George thought thoughtfully after hearing this. He had indeed thought of victory too simply just now.
After a while, Tony Allen suddenly said loudly: "Who is this kid? He is so crazy! Can you say nonsense?"
Everyone looked sideways and cast doubtful glances.
"Our opponent in the next game, the Clippers, has a rookie named Stephenson who said he would score 50 points in the next game, which proves that Shen Fei has poor vision."
Tony Allen explains.
As soon as the Rockets generals heard about Shen Fei, they immediately went to find out more about it through Teacher Tony's mobile phone.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
After Stephenson's first tweet went viral, he sent several more tweets in succession, and the content became increasingly outrageous.
The content of the last item even reads: "If it weren't for Shen Fei, I would have become the next Jordan in Houston! He was just lucky and made a few good deals, but messed up the most important thing. Shen Fei should Take responsibility for this!"
After seeing this tweet, the faces of Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Roy and others turned dark instantly.
They are all players who have experienced big storms.
For them, if an opponent tries to hack them, they can just laugh it off.
But if you are questioning Shen Fei, then I'm sorry, that person and his team must pay the price!
"In the next game, I will take more shots, go all out, and pass the ball to me as much as possible."
Maddie said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, several of the team's guards, Lowry, Shu Hao, and Lawson nodded.
"As long as I'm on the court, I'm going to keep an eye on this kid so that he can't score a single point!"
Teacher Tony said with a fierce look.
"I think whoever faces Stephenson on the offensive end tomorrow will attack boldly. It's best for everyone to attack him once."
Yao Ming, who has always been "harmless to humans and animals," suddenly said.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked sideways and looked at Dayao in surprise.
"What are you looking at me for? Shen Fei healed my foot injury. Anyone who messes with him will have trouble with me."
"We have an old Chinese saying that repay kindness with evil. Why repay kindness with kindness? When dealing with people like Lance, there is no need to be polite to him!"
Yao Ming said righteously.
Everyone was not aware of it and nodded one after another.
After this episode, the players returned to their original positions and continued to rest while checking their phones.
But not long after, they gathered together again.
The reason this time is naturally the news that owner Alexander is about to sell the team.
When they saw that many media were worried that the change of boss might affect the position of general manager of Shen Fei, the hearts of the Rockets generals were twitching.
"If the new boss really wants to change the general manager, I might go on strike to protest."
Roy said coldly.
The fact that he is able to recover now is entirely thanks to Shen Fei.
Those two healthy menisci remind Roy all the time to remember to repay kindness.
"Me too. I am now thinking about how to accomplish the manager's goal and bring the O'Brien Cup back to Houston. But if the manager is not Shen Fei, then why am I training so hard now?"
Griffin said seriously.
As a rookie, he is actually not in a hurry to win the championship.
But because of Shen Fei, Griffin has been training harder than ever this season!
His idea is also very simple. One is to repay Shen Fei for extending an olive branch when he was questioned; the other is to prove to those who once underestimated him that Griffin is worthy of the team's waiting! He is not a glass man. !
"Me too!"
"Me too."
...
Everyone responded one after another.
The noise was so loud that it even alerted head coach Mark Jackson.
Just as he was about to step forward to inquire about the situation, Shen Fei drove to the Toyota Center at that moment.
As soon as the Asian young man entered the arena, he saw the Rockets generals gathered together, discussing something with solemn faces.
"What are you busy with?"
Shen Fei asked with a smile as he walked forward.
“Hello, manager!”
"Hello manager!
...
All the players immediately stood up to say hello.
"Well. Hello everyone."
"I just came to see you today."
Shen Fei waved his hand and said lightly.
He had actually roughly guessed what was going on from the expressions on everyone's faces when they first gathered.
But Shen Fei doesn't want to dwell too much on this matter. The most important thing now is to ensure that the system tasks can be completed in the next game.
After some pleasantries, the Asian young man put away his smile and said solemnly:
"Now the team's lineup is becoming complete, and there won't be many changes in the future."
"My idea now is to play a representative game and announce to the world that the Houston Rockets are the best team in the league!"
"So...in the next game, I hope each of you can be in the best condition and spend every second on the court seriously."
Shen Fei looked around at everyone and spoke word by word.
At this point, he was still worried that he was not clear enough, so he added:
"To be specific, if we can win by 60 points in the next game, we should not relax when we win by 59 points."
