Chapter 297 The pinnacle of the book? Withered trees are arranged in spring!
Stern originally wanted to refute, but seeing that Durst had lost his mind, he didn't say much.
"let me try..."
This meritorious president who has made great contributions to the development of the NBA can only humbly agree at this moment.
Power is stronger than people, and Nike's energy is not something that Stern can contend with alone.
In addition, some of his financial "operations" in his early years were taken advantage of by Nike.
Now that I am being threatened, I have no way to resist.
"Also, the Heat will make some moves recently. If we can get the green light, we can still help them."
"No matter how strong the Rockets are, it actually doesn't matter. As long as...the final championship doesn't belong to them!"
"We'll take care of the rest."
Durst continued.
When it comes to building momentum for players or teams, Nike is professional.
As long as his players can win the championship, Dest is confident and can control public opinion!
Now, the one most likely to compete with the Rockets in the league is the Heat, which has the Big Three.
Recently, Nike also learned that they want to acquire Howard and Ray Allen through trade.
If this incident had happened in the past, Nike would definitely be opposed to it.
After all, if too many stars gather in one team, it will reduce the influence of the stars themselves.
But now, Nike can no longer care too much.
As long as a team can stand up and defeat the Rockets, it doesn't matter what method they use!
Stern heard this and smiled bitterly again.
How could he, an executive president, interfere in transactions between teams?
The only thing they can do is to make Howard's Magic and Ray Allen's Celtics lose a few more games in the near future.
As a result, the conflicts within the two teams may intensify, and the probability of a trade happening will be greater.
"I'll think of a way."
"But let's make an agreement first. I will only help you until the end of this season."
"After this year, how you compete with Under Armor is none of my business."
Stern said solemnly.
"Of course, Nike would be very grateful if you could help us get through the current difficulties."
"When the time comes, we will destroy those past 'data' in front of you."
When Durst saw that Stern was willing to help, he rarely used honorifics.
............
Early the next morning, the Rockets held a full-team training session as usual.
The difference is that Shen Fei came to the training hall early today, ready to observe the training.
As soon as he entered the training hall, he was warmly welcomed by the Rockets generals.
Shen Fei responded with a smile.
When he saw that Roy had taken off his protective boots and could move normally, he couldn't help but said: "Brandon, please take care of yourself and don't get hurt again."
Roy nodded: "I'll try my best. But when it comes to the game, it's hard to think too much, so I can only do my best."
Shen Fei smiled noncommittally: "You have gone through a lot of hardships. I believe it will become smoother in the future."
Having said that, the Asian young man turned his attention to Ben Wallace.
This warrior, with his push and push, prevented the Rockets' game from being interfered by external forces.
From this point alone, Shenfei feels that it is "worth the price".
Not to mention, he now has the ability to help Ben return to form.
Shen Fei believes that now is the time to regain his strength and the time is right!
Because in the next game, the Rockets will face the challenge of the imaginary opponent in the Western Conference Finals-the Dallas Mavericks.
If Ben can be successfully restored to his peak condition, Nowitzki will also have a huge headache when he encounters him.
Four-time Defensive Player of the Year, this is a unique honor in history!
Shen Fei is very confident in Da Ben's defensive ability.
Even if what he is about to face is a historical killer weapon - Dirk Nowitzki 2011 Limited Edition!
With this thought in mind, Shen Fei deliberately kept Ben Wallace behind after observing all the training.
"What do you want from me, boss?"
After training, Ben Wallace practiced an additional set of shots, and his face was still covered with sweat.
Shen Fei motioned to his assistant to get a towel and handed it to Da Ben.
"Before you joined the Rockets, we had a phone call."
"Do you remember what we talked about then?"
Shen Fei asked with a smile.
"em..."
"I can't remember exactly what I said. But it was probably about my position in the team."
Da Ben quickly wiped his sweat, thanked Shen Fei and replied.
"Yes, I said at the time... I hope you can become a leader in the locker room, and I also hope you will play a huge role in the Rockets' championship journey."
Shen Fei said seriously.
Ben Wallace nodded repeatedly.
"Looking at it now, you completed the first task very well."
"Ever since that game against the Trail Blazers, I think everyone admires you and is willing to listen to you whether on or off the court."
"You did a very good job at this, even exceeding my expectations."
Shen Fei continued.
"That time I was able to do it freely because you were my backing."
Daben said modestly.
"If you're being polite, I won't say anything. I came to you today just to talk about the second task, which is your positioning on the field."
"There are many outstanding insiders in the league now, such as Duncan and Nowitzki in the West, the 'three highs' of the Lakers, Garnett in the East..."
"It is still difficult to deal with these people just relying on Dayao and the others. So I very much hope that you can also establish a 'no-fly zone' in Houston."
Shen Fei said straight to the point.
Da Ben was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly.
"Boss, I know the Rockets have ambitious goals this year, and I am willing to give everything I have to help the team."
"But to be honest... I am old and may not be able to help the team much."
Daben sighed.
It is not easy for a tough player like him to say such words of respect for his elders.
"What if I could help you get back to where you were seven years ago?"
Shen Fei said suddenly.
Daben's eyes suddenly lit up, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Seven years ago, that is, the 2003-04 season.
At that time, he was a man who could fight with top sharks in the paint.
Although the FMVP was given to Billups, the Pistons point guard, no one can deny that Ben was the soul of that team!
He used his height of 2.03 meters to build the famous "no-fly zone" inside Detroit, so that the "birds and beasts" in the league at that time had to walk on the ground obediently when they encountered the Pistons!
............
When Da Ben thought about the great years in the past, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
But flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again.
How easy is it to return to the 29-year-old state at the age of 36?
"Are you serious, boss?"
Daben couldn't help but confirm again.
"Of course, I have been preparing for a long time to help you recover."
"Some precious Chinese medicinal materials were just collected yesterday."
Shen Fei joked casually.
After he treated Oden last time, he had a lot of medicinal materials left, and they are all hidden in his office now.
"Chinese medicinal materials? Is it using traditional Chinese medicine?"
"I know that China is a vast country with vast resources, and Chinese medicine is even more unfathomable!"
"Then...when can treatment start?"
Daben asked quickly.
"Just tomorrow."
"I'll meet you at the training hall tomorrow morning."
