Chapter 222 The curtain opens, Shen Fei's expectations!
December 8, Beijing time, Auburn Hills Palace Arena.
Tonight, the Detroit Pistons will sit at home to face the challenge of the league's number one Rockets.
It is worth mentioning that before the game, the Rockets officially announced on Twitter that Curry had entered the rotation.
This is also the first time that Meng Shen has entered the team roster since the trade.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately triggered discussions among many netizens.
A Warriors fan left a message: "Thanks to Manager Shen Fei for the gift. With Lawson and Martin, we finally got out of the quagmire. I hope Stephen can play occasionally to help you."
This eccentric netizen was quickly criticized.
"I am also a Warriors fan. Stephen has been working hard in the team for more than a year, and he has also performed many wonderful performances, right? He does miss more games due to injuries, but is that something he can control?"
"Manager Shen Fei has always been very accurate in his judgment of people. There is no need for you to make such shady comments. Stephen has not sorry for the Warriors, nor is he hoping to be traded. I hope you understand this."
...
Of course, some people partially agreed with his words.
"I don't comment on Curry's statement, but the reality is that Lawson and Martin have both performed at an All-Star level after joining the Warriors. The Warriors are currently in the best shape in recent seasons!"
"I've said long ago that you can't win the game just by shooting. Look at Lawson's breakthrough and Martin's foul-making. Can Curry do it? The Warriors making this deal is almost like winning the lottery."
"Shen Fei is so smart, but he was confused for a while. Lawson and Martin could have become gangsters on the bench of the Rockets, but now it's better, two ready-to-combat talents, replaced by a sick man."
"I have joined the Rockets for so long and this is my first time on the roster. Curry is too fragile!"
One comment after another is either praising the Warriors for making a good deal or complaining about Curry's "glass".
Only a handful of fans can speak for Curry at this moment.
At this moment, Kobe Bryant retweeted the Rockets’ official Twitter and commented:
"The king is back, Shen made a great deal! #MambaPsych#"
Curry's father, Dell Curry, also forwarded it and left a message: "Prove these people wrong! I know you can."
In the end, Curry himself retweeted the tweet.
"I have read everyone's comments, and I have seen expectations and disdain. I don't want to explain anything, I will give my response on the basketball court."
Curry added.
This short sentence not only shows his spirit, but also reflects his pattern.
Many Rockets fans expressed their support for Curry under this tweet.
"I was not sure before, but now I am extremely sure that Stephen will never know how to do it. He will definitely prove himself."
"As long as he doesn't get injured, Curry will become the top point guard in the league!"
"Believe in Curry, believe in Shen Fei, Rockets championship!!!"
............
At this time, Curry was doing his final warm-up exercises on the court.
He was not the starter in this game.
But before the game, Mark Jackson found Curry and asked him to be fully prepared and ready to play at any time.
"Boss flew all the way to Detroit with us just to see you make your debut with the Rockets. You have to stand up!"
"Neither Griffin nor Roy had this kind of treatment before!"
Mark Jackson said.
Curry was a little flattered by this.
From the moment he can remember, his basketball career has been surrounded by doubts.
In high school, Curry led the team and won numerous championships, but he did not receive an invitation from any D1 university.
One of the most famous things is that after graduating from high school, Curry attended the Duke University basketball training camp and hoped to take this opportunity to join this famous basketball school.
However, Duke University's "Old K" coach (who is also the head coach of the United States national team) believed that Curry was too thin and short to adapt to the intensity of the NCAA, so he gave up recruiting him.
In the end, Curry could only join the little-known Davidson College to continue his dream of entering the NBA.
You know, this university will only issue two pairs of sneakers and an ankle brace to its team players a year.
Such simple conditions are simply unimaginable in a famous basketball school.
Later, Curry led a group of teammates who had no chance of entering the NBA or even professional basketball to break into March Madness and even reach the "Elite Eight".
But just before the game, when Curry walked into the training hall, he found that his teammates were not preparing for the game.
They all sat cross-legged, each holding a laptop.
When asked why, it turned out that he was preparing for the school's midterm exam.
In other words, Curry’s teammates simply do not dare to consider basketball as their future career.
In their view, the "Elite Eight" that attracts national attention is not even as important as the midterm exam.
In the end, Curry led this group of "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" to reach the top 8 in March Madness, where you would go home after losing one game!
The "Curry Myth" also spread throughout the college basketball circles of beautiful countries at that time!
However, such a miraculous performance did not make Curry's subsequent basketball career smooth sailing.
Questions about him were brought to college from high school, and then to the NBA.
From beginning to end, there has never been a boss-level figure who affirmed Curry's value.
(Warriors general manager Larry Riley counted half of it, but he later began to doubt whether the cute god could stay healthy.)
But now, everything seems to be turning around.
Shen Fei, the ruthless man who single-handedly built the league's first team in less than half a year, showed unparalleled appreciation and trust in Curry!
From going to all the trouble to trade him to the Rockets, to spending a lot of money to hire a trainer to train Curry, and now to come all the way to watch his debut...
Shen Fei's preference for Curry is almost exaggerated!
"Don't worry, coach, even if you only give me one minute of playing time, I will do my best!"
Curry said to Mark Jackson with firm eyes.
This night, he wanted to prove to the world that Shen Fei definitely did not make a mistake!
