Participating in the Olympics? This is much harder for him than becoming the main rotation of the Rockets!
After all, he is now a national of the United States, and if he wants to participate in the Olympics, he must be selected for the "Dream Team".
"Manager, this goal is a bit difficult for me now, but I will train hard to achieve it."
The Shuhao's tone when he spoke was inevitably a little lacking in confidence.
"If you are representing a beautiful country, it will be really difficult, but what if... you are representing the Chinese men's basketball team?"
Shen Fei asked with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Shu Hao's pupils were shocked again.
He was born in Wanwan, came to the beautiful country at an early age, and has been receiving Western education.
The erudite scholar has some understanding of China, but he is far from familiar with it.
As for playing for the Chinese men's basketball team, he really hasn't thought about it.
However, the smart scholar quickly understood Shen Fei's intention.
This manager actually wants to recruit talents for his country!
But...if I remember correctly, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team is considered the top team in Asia, but in world-wide competitions, it seems there are no outstanding moments.
[If I join in, it won’t change anything, right?]
[In addition to continuing to partner with Yao, there is no goal to pursue!]
Shuhao was confused.
After all, if it is just for the Chinese men's basketball team to compete for the Asian Cup, it makes no sense at all.
Because, regardless of whether he joins or not, as long as Yao is here, this trophy cannot be left alone.
Not to mention, if he really wants to join the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, Shuhao will have to do homework at home and change his nationality.
It can be said that this is a fruitless and time-consuming task.
"Manager, I don't think this is appropriate, I..."
Before Shuhao finished saying his words of rejection, Shen Fei raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't refuse in a hurry. Let me explain the situation to you in detail."
"First of all, as long as you nod and agree, you don't have to worry about nationality at all. You will become a Chinese citizen within a month."
This was the promise Zhang Weiping made to Shen Fei on behalf of the Chinese Basketball Association after the CCTV interview at that time - as long as Shuhao is willing to join, the Chinese nationality will definitely be obtained!
"Second, and most importantly, I invite you to join the China Men's Basketball Team to do big things. Next year, this team will usher in a qualitative leap, and many NBA-level players will emerge."
"Your joining will make the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team even more powerful. In the end, what we want to strive for is the Olympic gold medal!"
Shen Fei never hides his true intentions from his teammates.
This seemingly idiotic goal, if anyone else had mentioned it, Shuhao would have turned around immediately, thinking that this person was crazy.
But who is Shen Fei?
It took him a few months to bring the Rockets, who were in the lottery, to the top of the league!
When Shen Fei said he wanted to win the Olympic gold medal, even if it was a fantasy, the scholar would still have a 1% chance.
"Finally, if you agree, you will be doing me a big favor. I rarely ask for help from others. If someone helps me, I will not treat them badly."
"What I can guarantee now is that it will help you improve your skills, and it will be a qualitative improvement!"
Shen Fei told all the reasons in one breath.
When Shuhao heard the first two points, he was not very touched, but after hearing the last point, he was shaken!
Shen Fei fell in love with him and was grateful for his knowledge.
If Shen Fei hadn't extended an olive branch to Shuhao at that time, the latter would have had to wait a long time if he wanted to land in the NBA.
Not to mention, under Shen Fei's instructions, Brother Hao quickly got a lot of playing opportunities after joining the Rockets as an undrafted player.
Therefore, when Shuhao heard that Shen Fei was asking for help, his first reaction was to agree.
Then, the Asian manager dropped another bombshell - he could help Shu Hao improve his skills.
For Brother Hao, this is simply a fatal temptation!
"Manager, are you still proficient in the skills of a trainer?"
Shuhao asked curiously.
"The mountain man has his own clever plan. Just know that I won't lie to you."
Shen Fei said lightly.
So far, he has not figured out how to give the [Star Skill Pack] to his players in a reasonable way.
"Then...give me some time to think about it."
"Even if I agree, I still have to discuss it with my family. After all, it involves changing my nationality."
Shu Hao said seriously.
"Of course, you need to think about it slowly and don't rush to give me an answer."
Shen Fei said with a smile.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Shen Fei left the arena.
After he left, Shuhao returned to the court and continued training.
Although he has been told that his chances of playing in the future will be reduced, Brother Hao's mood has not been affected at all.
He believes in a rule - do the things you can control well, and leave the things you can't control to time!
............
After meeting Shu Hao, Shen Fei was not idle and called Mark Jackson again.
"The transaction is imminent. In recent games, we should give Lawson more playing time and performance opportunities."
"Also, Kevin Martin also mentioned that he will also be a trading chip in the rotation."
The Asian young man said straight to the point.
"I understand, I'll make arrangements."
Mark Jackson didn't waste any words and agreed immediately.
As time goes by, the two people's cooperation becomes more and more tacit.
Shen Fei hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Now he even feels that even if Mark Jackson's coaching ability is worse than those legendary coaches, his efficiency in performing tasks is still worthy of a coaching seat.
............
December 4, Beijing time, Memphis, FedEx Arena.
Today, the Rockets will challenge the Grizzlies, who have both black and white bears, away from home.
Both teams are in the playoffs, so CCTV will not miss such an important game.
"Hello all viewers, tv-5 brings you the broadcast of the NBA NBA game."
"I'm Su Qun!" "Hello everyone, I'm your old friend - Zhang Weiping."
In the live broadcast room, two commentators started.
"What we bring to you today is the highlight game - the Houston Rockets vs. Memphis Grizzlies!"
"Director Zhang, can you give us a brief analysis of this game?"
Su Qun asked.
"OK!"
"I just got the Rockets' starting lineup, and their starting lineup has changed a lot today."
"Kyle Lowry was unable to play in this game because of a cold. Ty Lawson replaced him and became the starting point guard."
"Tracy McGrady also announced a rest for this game, and the person who will start in his place is not Roy, who has performed well after returning from injury, but Kevin Martin, who has rarely had a chance to play recently."
"Such an adjustment, I think, will have a big impact on the Rockets' strength."
Zhang Weiping looked at the materials he just got and introduced them.
"Indeed!"
"I've always been puzzled by the hiring of Rockets coach Mark Jackson."
"He often rotates players on a large scale, putting the Rockets in danger of failure. I hope they can 'save the danger' today."
Su Qun sighed.
"After talking about the Rockets, let me talk about the Grizzlies. They are a very tough team with a tough style of play."
"On the back line, Conley can shoot and burst, and he has excellent defensive ability. He will cause a lot of trouble for the Rockets!"
"Shooting guard - Xavier Henry, has great physical fitness, but his skills are a little rough."
"The small forward is Rudy Gay, who is currently the star of the Grizzlies team and has excellent scoring ability. The matchup between him and George is, in my opinion, the biggest highlight of this game!"
Zhang Weiping talked eloquently.
"I would like to interrupt, Rudy Gay is actually a rookie selected by the Rockets, but unfortunately he did not shine in Houston. Rockets fans have always felt sorry for this."
Su Qun added.
"Haha, but now the Rockets have better talent!"
"Let me continue the introduction...The last one is the inside line! The black and white bears - Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, have become the most terrifying inside combination in the league."
"Whether Yao Ming and Griffin can gain the upper hand in their confrontation today will largely determine the direction of the game!"
Zhang Weiping analyzed.
“Thank you, Director Zhang, for sharing!”
"Okay, now the game is about to start, let's hand the camera to the front!"
After saying that, Su Qun waved his hand and the screen turned, arriving at FedEx Arena!
