Chapter 251 Weird mission and fateful confrontation!
During the press conference, Mark Jackson and Tracy McGrady invariably played the role of "green leaves" and neither answered too many questions.
They gave more time to Auden.
Perhaps because he had been away from the spotlight for too long, Auden was a little uncomfortable with the "sharp guns and short guns" in front of him.
Fortunately, a big victory turned these reporters into "praise party".
Auden gradually relaxed with each kind question.
And this was actually the purpose of Mark Jackson bringing him to the press conference.
After the press conference, Oden followed the coach and Tracy McGrady with a smile on his face and walked away in a hurry.
Mark Jackson caught a glimpse of the smile on the Emperor's face with his peripheral vision.
[It seems to work well.]
He thought so in his heart.
............
After the game against the Magic, Mark Jackson gave his players a day off.
After a day of rest, early the next morning, the Rockets generals returned to the training hall full of energy for routine training.
While the team members were doing warm-up training, the door to the training hall was pushed open, and a figure slowly walked in.
The person coming is none other than Shen Fei!
"Boss!"
"Boss, good morning!"
...
The team members greeted each other warmly, and Shen Fei responded with a smile one by one.
"You just focus on training and don't worry about me."
The Asian young man said with a smile.
The purpose of his trip, in addition to observing training, is to give Oden a small start and help him correct his defensive habits.
Therefore, after the team's joint training, Shen Fei deliberately retained Oden, Yao Ming, and coach Mark Jackson.
............
On the empty court, Shen Fei picked up a basketball and said while dribbling it: "Greg, are you satisfied with your performance in the last game?"
Oden was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly replied: "It was okay at first! Then Howard got injured, and I dunked a basketball, and I became very excited. Then...then I couldn't play anymore. alright."
"Pfft~"
As soon as Oden finished speaking, Dayao beside him couldn't help laughing.
"This kid is so honest."
Mark Jackson said with the same smile.
"Excitement is not a bad thing."
"A team needs both mature and calm players as well as passionate characters."
"The point is, in a state of excitement, many of your habits are amplified."
Shen Fei said as he threw the basketball in his hand.
"Shua~"
Basketball goes hollow into the net.
Yao Ming and Mark Jackson both applauded.
Oden fell into deep thought because of Shen Fei's words.
"Boss, are you talking about my defensive habits?"
Auden asked tentatively.
"Not bad, pretty self-aware."
Shen Fei said with a smile.
"Come on, let's review your two consecutive fouls in the second quarter."
After that, Shen Fei handed the ball to Oden and asked the latter to act as an offensive player.
"Yao, if you were the defender at this time, what would you do?"
Shen Fei asked while assuming the original role of Oden.
Yao Ming thought for a moment and gave his answer.
Then, Shen Fei asked the same question to the head coach, Mark Jackson.
The Rockets coach was a very good defender when he was an athlete.
He was quick and gave his own opinions.
"have you understood?"
"There are so many better options out there that can help you avoid foul play."
Shen Fei looked into Oden's eyes and said seriously.
Auden nodded repeatedly.
"Of course, these are just two cases."
"What I want to say is that in the future you should pay more attention, ask for more advice, and find ways to get rid of those bad defensive habits."
"do you understand?"
Shen Fei said earnestly.
"I understand, boss! I will definitely work hard!"
Auden promised emphatically.
"Yes. Work hard and I will continue to observe you." The Asian young man nodded with satisfaction and then said: "Okay, you and Dayao can leave first. I want to talk to Mark about other things."
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Shen Fei took out a small notebook from his pocket.
Recently, he recalled some tactics that appeared in the original time and space around 2020!
These tactics may not be suitable for the current Rockets, but Shen Fei still feels that it is necessary to communicate with Mark Jackson.
But at this moment, a cold metallic sound suddenly sounded in Shen Fei's mind!
"Ding! Release system tasks now - a bold attempt."
"A team that aims to win the championship, in addition to having a strong starting lineup, also has bench gangsters!"
"As the host, do you trust the personally selected substitute players?"
"Task content: Replace the starting lineup with five completely different players from the previous game and win the game."
"Task reward: 90% controlling stake in the sports brand-Under Armor."
A long-lost system task appears again.
But such a bizarre mission content caught Shen Fei off guard.
However, he quickly reacted and began to think about the content of the mission.
In the last game, the Rockets' starting lineup was Curry, McGrady, George, Griffin, and Yao Ming.
As long as these five people are rested and the game is won, the mission can be completed.
[This seems...not difficult, right?]
Shen Fei thought to himself.
Immediately, he asked Mark Jackson: "Who are we playing next?"
"Thunder Team."
"They have just won 7 games in a row recently, and we have a tough battle to fight!"
Mark Jackson replied with a smile.
Shen Fei was speechless for a moment, but he still managed to continue: "For the next game, rest the starting lineup...let the other players come on and practice."
"???"
Mark Jackson has a question mark on his face.
[What is this operation?]
[Isn’t what I just said...the opponent is very strong?]
Seeing the other party's puzzled expression, Shen Fei had no choice but to try to explain:
"Our starting five, except George, everyone else has more or less potential injuries."
"The team's record has been very good recently, and the number one position in the league is very secure. We can just give them some time to have a good rest."
Although these few words were made by Shen Fei casually, they were at least a reason.
After hearing this, Mark Jackson finally nodded in agreement even though he still had some doubts in his heart.
The next moment, the Rockets Marshal suddenly thought...
[In this case, won’t Oden and Durant have to face each other head-on?!]
