Chapter 270 Shen Fei's plan, the Christmas battle is coming!
He thought of ways to do it in many areas, far beyond just basketball.
Of course, the main battlefield is the NBA.
Shen Fei plans to start by recruiting potential new stars in the alliance.
In addition to Curry and George, other teams have many good rookies who have not yet signed sneaker contracts with sports brands.
There are also some players who signed smaller contracts (with smaller liquidated damages) because of their average performance so far.
Shen Fei plans to use a sum of money to recruit potential players from across the league at a price higher than the market price.
In addition, he also plans to recruit newcomers in other sports who will emerge in the next few years!
Shen Fei remembers a few familiar names in many fields such as football, tennis, mixed martial arts, etc.
He hopes that in the next year, Under Armor will rely on the explosive explosion of its athletes to completely make a name for itself in the sports circle!
In addition, Shenfei also plans to use some advanced marketing methods to open up various markets.
For example... in the early stage, we burned money like crazy, gave away profits, and advertised, so that Under Armor's name could be heard in major cities and on major social platforms.
In the original time and space, many Internet companies took the first step to success through this method!
This is a proven and feasible method!
Another example is inviting top celebrities in the entertainment industry to co-brand Under Armour's products with various trendy brands...
Of course, if none of these can help Under Armor take off, Shen Fei has a last resort - with the help of China's power!
The first task of the system is to build Under Armor into a national brand of China.
Therefore, various Chinese elements are bound to be used in the design.
Shen Fei believes that as long as Under Armor's products are of high quality, Chinese fans will definitely support them.
What he was struggling with was whether to take the initiative to go to China to promote it.
At present, Shen Fei tends to follow the trend and use the Chinese market as its last resort.
............
The second major decision Shen Fei made recently was to complete the four-party transaction.
He knew that this deal would definitely cause great controversy.
Many Rockets fans will be dissatisfied with this.
After all, they already have certain feelings for Scola and Battier, and both of them are very capable players.
Scola has exquisite skills and a good mid-range shot.
In the playoffs, it will be very difficult for opponents to let him play as a scorer in the transition period.
Not to mention Shane.
In the original time and space, the Heat failed in the 10-11 season. In the offseason, they won the competition with the Thunder and successfully signed the free agent Shane Battier.
In the next two seasons, the Heat successfully won two consecutive championships.
And Shane played an extremely important role in this process.
His defense, his three-point shooting, and his leadership have all helped the Big Three to a great extent.
Simply put, Battier is a 3D player who can play high-end games and is very reliable. He is a perfect piece of the championship puzzle.
The reason why Shen Fei gave up on the two of them was because Team Rocket's personnel reserves were too sufficient.
Although Scola can score points, the team has enough firepower whether in the starting lineup or on the bench, and there is no extra ball power to give him.
In addition, Scola's footsteps are slow and he is easily targeted on the defensive end.
After much thought, Shen Fei felt that he was not suitable for the Rockets, who were aiming to compete for the championship.
Shane is a perfect piece of the championship puzzle.
But both Paul George and Danny Green outperformed Battier in team training.
In the playoffs, even if one of the two is injured, McGrady, Tony Allen, and even Tucker can all step into the third position.
Battier really has no room to perform in this Rockets team. It would be better to send him to a team that cannot compete for the championship in the short term in exchange for some future assets.
In one sentence, although Scola and Battier are good, there are many better choices in the team.
The two players the Rockets acquired this time - Ben Wallace and Yi Jianlian, will be of great use in the future!
Let’s talk about Ben Wallace first.
The 36-year-old Daben may be useless, but as long as Shen Fei uses [Dead Trees Bloom], he can return to the state he was in in 2003...
Ben's unparalleled defensive ability will play a huge role in the future when the Rockets encounter strong inside teams such as the Spurs and Mavericks!
And Yi Jianlian is currently second only to Yao Ming among Chinese players.
Whether he can regain his confidence and continue to improve will be an important factor in whether the Chinese men's basketball team can hit the gold medal in two years' time.
Shen Fei planned to use the [Random Star Skill Pack] obtained previously on Yi Jianlian to see the effect.
[A-Lian is similar to Shu Hao. They are both players who will not play a big role this year, but will be focused on training next year.]
[It is very important to trade him first and let him enjoy the buff of [Spiritual Time House].]
The Asian youth thought so.
Of course, Shen Fei also had another important purpose in making this deal, which was to obtain the Kings' draft rights.
If Ajiali follows his advice and lets the Kings fail in the next game, then what the Rockets will get is a lottery pick!
This means that Shen Fei can use this pick to select Leonard, who originally belonged to the Spurs!
Fans who have watched Leonard's games are very aware of Leonard's strength...
This is a super giant who can win the game on his own!
As long as you equip him with some good functional players, Leonard can help you win the championship.
And within the Rockets, if you only count the rookies, there are ruthless characters like Curry, George, and Griffin.
If Leonard is successfully obtained, Shen Fei can almost foresee the birth of the "Rockets Dynasty"!
Send away two insignificant veterans and get a bunch of benefits. This is the effect of this transaction.
Shen Fei was very satisfied with this.
After thinking about this clearly, he drank the remaining red wine in the glass and went to bed to rest.
............
The next day, Shen Fei took a rare nap and woke up naturally before driving to the Rockets' base camp.
He didn't have anything urgent to deal with today, and all the Rockets generals were on vacation, so there was no training to watch.
Therefore, Shen Fei drove slowly and enjoyed the scenery along the way.
Along the way, he saw various Christmas trees on both sides of the street.
"Unknowingly, it's been half a year..."
Shen Fei murmured to himself.
He traveled to this time and space in mid-June, and now it is the end of December, more than half a year has passed.
Shen Fei is not a hypocritical person. After briefly lamenting how time flies, he immediately thought of...
The arrival of Christmas means that the Christmas War is about to take place.
Yes, the Rockets will be at home tomorrow to face the challenge of the Miami Heat!
This arrangement was actually somewhat beyond Shen Fei's expectations.
After all, in the original time and space, it should be the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant who will have a Christmas Day game with the Heat this year.
Maybe it's the Rockets' emergence, maybe it's the Lakers' decline this year...
The league's top management actually gave up on the "23vs24" they had been promoting and let the Rockets play against the Heat.
Shen Fei also took a look at the preview given by the NBA official Twitter yesterday.
The preview tweet is simple and direct, with only one sentence - the Galactic Battleship of the Aerotropolis vs. the Big Three of the South Coast!
The picture below shows the three Rockets stars playing against the Heat.
It can be seen from this schedule that the league has regarded the Rockets and Heat as the two favorites to win this year.
And Shen Fei is also looking forward to this game.
He knows that the Heat will definitely break out of the Eastern Conference and enter the Finals.
Tomorrow's Christmas game will be the last confrontation between the two teams before the finals (provided that the two teams meet in the finals as expected)!
