However, Shen Fei's official power was too strong, so Powell naturally did not dare to disobey, so he had to agree first.
After hanging up the phone, he tidied up a little.
Shen Fei assigned him a total of three tasks:
1. Announcing Yao Ming’s return.
2. Announced that the Rockets have created a new Big Three.
3. Announce that the goal for this season is to win the championship.
Except for the first of these three tasks, Powell felt that they were not suitable.
Big Three?
The Heat are called the Big Three!
James and Wade are both at MVP level, and Bosh is also one of the top 15 superstars in the league.
But what about the Rockets?
Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady are indeed All-Star players, but they are not yet considered the top group.
Not to mention first-year rookie Blake Griffin...
If you call him a giant, I'm afraid people will laugh out loud.
When he thought of this, Powell broke out in a cold sweat.
Since Shen Fei took office, the attention and criticism the Rockets have received has increased exponentially compared to previous seasons.
As a media director, just dealing with public relations crises made him so tired that he had a few more gray hairs.
"Okay, okay. Of these three people, two are all-stars and one has all-star potential. It's fair to say they are the Big Three."
"But what the heck is it to win the championship this season?!"
"It's okay for you to brag and paint pictures in the team...how can you dare to announce it to the outside world?"
Powell said to himself helplessly.
But at this point, as a small media director, it was naturally impossible for him to disobey the team general manager's order, so he could only start arranging these three things.
Soon the Rockets’ official Twitter released its first tweet——
"The Little Giant is back, Yao Ming announces his comeback!"
Below the tweet, there is also a picture of Yao Ming's dunk this morning.
This news quickly aroused cheers from Rockets fans.
"I finally waited for you, but fortunately I didn't give up! My Yao, you are finally back!"
"The Rockets, who have won four consecutive games, and Yao Ming, who has returned from injury, are even more powerful!"
"I have a hunch that the Rockets are going to do big things this year! Maybe the playoffs are not the ultimate goal. We can rush to the second round of the playoffs!"
"Griffin is a bit brittle, but give him some time to develop...next year, he may be at the All-Star level! By then, the Rockets will be able to truly become championship contenders!"
...
At the same time, the Chinese fans are also very excited.
Hupu Forum seems to be celebrating the New Year.
Posts about Yao Ming's comeback have become a direct trend of massacre.
A young man named "Pants with Murderous Aura" (short for Hupu fans) said in the post:
"Shen Fei, Yao Ming, plus the Chinese Jeremy Lin, this Rockets team has too many Chinese elements!"
"I hope that Manager Shen will trade Arab League to the Rockets in the future, and if possible, naturalize Jeremy Lin."
"In this way, our men's basketball team will take a further step forward at the London Olympics two years later, which is just around the corner!"
This post quickly attracted the recognition of many fans.
In the 2008 Olympic Games, fans witnessed the wonderful performance of the "golden generation".
But at the same time, as players such as Wang Zhizhi get older, they can't help but worry about the future of the China Men's Basketball Team.
And now, Shen Fei's emergence has given Chinese fans hope that the men's basketball team will improve again!
............
Just when Chinese fans and Rockets fans were excited, the Rockets' official Twitter released a second tweet.
"The new Big Three! Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, and Griffin! The era of the Rockets will eventually come!"
Below the tweet is a photo-edited poster.
The Yao-Mai combo and Griffin on the poster both look majestic and high-spirited.
At first glance, they really look like the Big Three.
Shen Fei quickly saw this second tweet through his mobile phone.
"Griffin still looks too cute. He looks a bit like Crayon Shin-chan no matter how he looks."
"I knew I would have arranged for Paul George to be the third giant. He is full of superstars."
The Asian young man murmured to himself.
In fact, he chose Griffin as the third giant mainly because the latter has a relatively short growth cycle and can reach star level in a short period of time.
You know, in the original time and space, Griffin would have scored the same statistics as 2010 in his debut season.
Now, with the blessing of [Spiritual Time Room], even if he gets the terrifying data of 2512 this year, Shen Fei will not have any surprises.
As for George, although he will reach a higher level in the future, he needs more time to develop.
So far, George has not shown as silky offensive skills as Dove.
It was under such considerations that Shen Fei chose Griffin.
After all, although he does not care about the public opinion, he also hopes that the team will be in a good atmosphere of public opinion.
But...it backfired.
After most fans saw this tweet, they started "ridicule mode."
"Thank you to the Rockets for being the source of my laughter this year. The Big Three? Those three old guys from the Celtics only dare to call themselves the 'Three-Headed Monster'! Have you, the three Rockets, ever won the MVP? How many times in total?" For a while? It’s really shameless!”
"I feel like the Rockets have been busy since Shen Fei took office! They keep signing people, making deals, and putting together strange starting lineups. Now they claim to have formed the Big Three... They are all comedians. Hahaha!"
"I can't stop laughing. Isn't Shenfei doing these measures to save Houston's bleak football market? Indeed, with such a saucy operation, Toyota Center tickets will be easier to sell, but the NBA is also a competitive league. All these What’s the use of being empty?”
"How dare Griffin, a man of glass who only plays once every few games, dare to be called a giant? Please ask him to play a few good games first, please?"
Of course, there are also a few fans who stood up and explained a few words for the Rockets:
"Those sarcastic people upstairs, you are so cowardly that you don't allow others to be confident?"
"Yao Ming and McGrady are already stars. Although Griffin is injured now, isn't his performance in the first three games good enough?"
"A rookie averages close to 20 points per game. Once he gets used to it, his numbers will increase in the future. Is he a proper Rookie of the Year?"
Of course, this fan was soon drowned in the "spit".
"Put me down, this is not called confidence, this is called brainlessness! I am confident enough, can I form the Big Three with the cats and dogs in the community?"
"These three can perform at the level of the Big Three. I will stand on my head to wash my hair!"
"1. I ate the new basketball I bought yesterday!"
...
Just as the fans were discussing it heatedly, the Rockets’ official Twitter released the third tweet of the day:
"The rocket takes off! The goal is set - the championship this season!"
Below the tweet, as usual, there is a picture.
The content of the picture is also very simple, there is only one trophy - the O'Brien Cup!
"???"
"!!!"
Fans were completely confused by Rockets officials.
