Chapter 6 Dialogue with Yao Ming, Shen Fei's arrangement!

The draft continues.

The Pacers were forced to choose Patrick Patterson after missing out on Hayward and Paul George.

Seeing this scene, Shen Fei sighed in his heart, because of his appearance, the future Iron-Blooded Walkers were strangled in the cradle and ceased to exist.

But so what?

Shen Fei was in the business world in his previous life and was never a soft-hearted person.

Immediately afterwards, the Rockets selected Lance Stephenson in the second round.

Immediately after the draft ended, Jeremy Lin received a call from the Rockets.

The two parties immediately reached an agreement, and Brother Hao officially settled in Houston.

In addition, under Shen Fei's instruction, the Rockets also signed another undrafted draft pick - Ishmael Smith.

At this point, Shen Fei completed his first major project after taking office, bringing four players to the Rockets - Paul George, Stephenson, Jeremy Lin, and Ishmael Smith.

This operation quickly aroused heated discussion among Rockets fans on social media.

"I understand the truth, but we already have two point guards in Brooks and Lowry on the team. Why do we need to sign two little-known small guards? Is it just to cope with the summer league?"

"This Paul George is the rookie that Shen Fei is optimistic about, but I watched his college highlights. Can he really do better than Budinger? I feel terrible!"

"I am quite optimistic about this rookie. His figure is a bit similar to Tracy McGrady. It is said that he is a fan of Kobe Bryant, and he looks like a superstar!"

"Upstairs, the NBA is a basketball league, not a beauty pageant."

...

The fans were noisy, but Shen Fei came to Toyota Center with joy.

Today, he made an appointment with a heavyweight-Yao Ming!

The Little Giant's knee was injured by Kobe Bryant in the second round of last season's playoffs.

Although he insisted on returning to the game and helped the team win that game, after the game, Yao Ming was diagnosed with a fractured left ankle and was reimbursed for the season.

After a summer of recovery, Dayao has basically recovered.

After he learned that Shen Fei had become the team's new manager, he immediately sent a text message to the latter to express his congratulations.

Today is the first time the two of them have met.

Yao Ming, who has the same yellow skin and is 226cm tall, looked down at Shen Fei, who was about 1.9 meters tall, with a smile on his face.

"Hello, manager!"

“I can finally communicate in Mandarin.”

As he spoke, Yao Ming stretched out his right hand.

The two shake hands.

"Seeing is better than hearing. I'm looking for you today mainly because I want to talk to you about the team."

Shen Fei smiled.

"No problem, that's what I meant."

Yao Ming nodded.

............

The two did not sit down and talk in the office like ordinary managers and players. Instead, they chatted on the court while shooting baskets.

"Are you really planning to compete for the championship this season?! This is a bit unrealistic."

Yao Ming dribbled the ball with a look of surprise on his face.

He has been with the team for many years and has many friends in the management.

After learning about Shen Fei's declaration at the meeting, Yao Ming felt that his compatriot's words had been misinterpreted.

Unexpectedly, after talking today, Shen Fei actually had such a crazy idea.

"It's not about competing for the championship, it's about winning the championship."

Shen Fei corrected.

"???"

Yao Ming was even more surprised and didn't even notice the basketball slipped from his hand.

"This goal is difficult, but I am serious about it."

"So, I need your help."

Shen Fei said solemnly.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of joking, Yao Ming couldn't help but start to really think about the possibility.

[The manager probably doesn’t know that my physical condition is not good...]

He thought to himself.

Yao Ming was about to explain things frankly to Shen Fei, but the latter spoke first.

"If I guess correctly, Yao, although your hard fracture has healed, it has not completely returned to a healthy state."

Shen Fei said lightly, his tone was very sure.

"???"

"how do you know?"

Dayao was shocked when he heard this.

The discomfort in his ankle was due to unethical testing of medical equipment, and only he knew it.

But Yao Ming remembers that he has never told anyone about this matter!

"It's not important. What's important is that if the Rockets want to win the championship, they can't do without you being healthy."

"So, during the next period of time, you don't have to rush to come back and take good care of your body."

Shen Fei said seriously.

"Manager, I do still feel discomfort in my foot, but it no longer prevents me from participating in the game. I have conducted complete training these two days."

"and..."

Yao Ming's simple and determined character made it difficult for him to accept the rest arrangement, and he immediately wanted to explain.

But halfway through speaking, Shen Fei raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to say more.

"This is a decision that has already been made. It doesn't matter what you say."

The reason why Shen Fei is so determined is very simple.

In his previous life, Yao Ming chose to come back at the beginning of the season, but only five games into the regular season, he suffered another ankle fracture and announced his retirement a few months later.

In other words, if Dayao's comeback is not prevented, this once-in-a-century basketball genius from China will perish.

This matter is non-negotiable!

"In addition, I think the body shape for the 2014 Athens Olympics is the most suitable for you."

"I hope you can lose weight during this period. On the one hand, doing so is good for your health, and on the other hand, it is also for the team's style."

"In the new season, the Rockets' style will change greatly from the past. The team needs a lighter you."

Shen Fei continued to issue instructions.

Yao Ming was a little confused.

As a Chinese compatriot, he not only ordered him to continue to rest and not come back, but also asked him to lose weight.

The attitude was so tough that there was no room for negotiation. It was more like informing him.

However, there are so many powerful centers in the league. How can you compete with them if you lose weight?

And the team’s style will undergo major changes?

Adelman resigned, and the Rockets' new coach hasn't been decided yet. How did Shen Fei know that his style would change?

Is it possible...

"No matter which coach is hired in the end, the team's playing style will be determined by me."

Shen Fei seemed to be able to read minds and directly answered Yao Ming's confusion.

"Another point."

"Dayao, your shooting talent is one of the best among big men. I hope you can develop it next..."

"Three-point shot!"

Shen Fei raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile.

"Three points?"

Yao Ming said in surprise.

He is really good at shooting, which can be seen from his free throw shooting rate of over 90%.

But until now in his career, Yao Ming has never made a few three-pointers.

After all, that's what outside players do!

"I'm a big center, but I can't shoot well if I'm outside, right?"

Yao Ming said doubtfully.

Shen Fei did not answer in a hurry, but walked outside the three-point line and picked up the dropped basketball.

In his previous life, he was a senior basketball enthusiast, and his best skill was shooting.

"I don't know how to explain it to you now. But... don't worry, Dayao."

With that said, Shen Fei raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.

The basketball left his fingertips and spun at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Listen to me, I won't let you down."

While the ball was still in the air, Shen Fei continued.

"Shua~"

Hollow into the net!

Shen Fei smiled slightly, turned around and left, leaving only Dayao's back.

Yao Ming was stunned that this new manager actually had such skills.

What he didn't know was that the ball was purely a stroke of God's will.

At Shen Fei's normal level, the probability of hitting a shot from beyond the three-point line in the NBA is probably less than 10%...
