Chapter 74 New mission, the beginning of a dynasty!
"Guys, am I crazy? Or are the Rockets officials crazy? The Rockets want to win the championship, and win it this season. Isn't this a fantasy?!"
"Is there a possibility, and I mean possibility, that Rockets officials are serious?"
"Upstairs, we have traveled through time. Today is April Fool's Day."
"Ever since Shen Fei became the general manager of the Rockets, their entire team has gone crazy... Before, I thought they were just overconfident, but now, the crazy person is actually me!"
...
If the Rockets form the Big Three on Twitter, a small number of fans will accept it.
Then this third tweet announcing the championship this season attracted nothing but pure ridicule.
Even die-hard Rockets fans think this is an impossible task.
At the same time, Powell, who had finished sending all three tweets, breathed a sigh of relief.
This is probably the craziest thing he has ever done in his career.
"God willing, the situation in the future won't be too bad."
Powell prayed.
He knew very well that words spoken out were like water thrown out, and it was impossible to save him.
If the Rockets perform well this season, that would be fine, everyone will just think they are too conceited.
But if the entire season is played and the Rockets fail to even make the playoffs, the consequences may be disastrous.
In the future, when neutral fans mention the Rockets, they may treat them as a joke.
Powell thought about it, but still felt uneasy, so he couldn't help but call Shen Fei.
"Manager, I have already finished all the content you asked me to post."
"That's exactly what you meant"
Powell said tremblingly.
When Shen Fei heard this, he smiled slightly.
The meaning of my media manager is also very obvious - I do these things according to your wishes, and whatever happens has nothing to do with me.
"Well, I saw it. You did a good job. You don't have to worry about the rest."
Shen Fei said lightly.
Long before he assigned Powell the task, he foresaw the current situation.
But this is something that needs to be done no matter what.
Throughout the history of the NBA, there has never been a team that was timid in winning the championship.
Even some grassroots teams, such as the Detroit Pistons back then, were very confident when answering questions related to the championship.
If a reporter asked Pistons coach Larry Brown what the team's goal is for the season, he would confidently and without hesitation tell him - a championship.
Shen Fei's intention is that the players know that the team's goal this season is very clear, which is to win the championship!
There is no joking element whatsoever.
The pressure of public opinion now formed will make the Rockets generals feel that there is "no retreat".
This will, to some extent, urge the players to perform well.
This is the wisdom from China - Yangmou!
............
Soon, Rockets players responded to the official Twitter call.
The first to bear the brunt is Tracy McGrady.
He directly forwarded three tweets and left a message on the last tweet:
"No one believes in us, but we believe in ourselves!"
Immediately afterwards, Yao Ming, Griffin, George and others also retweeted.
"Doubts make us grow."
"What are we doing if it's not to win the championship?"
"Confidence is my nourishment, time will give everyone the answer!"
When fans see how confident each Rockets player is, they can't help but feel suspicious - they can't be serious, right?
With such questions, time quickly came two days later.
............
November 7, Beijing time, Toyota Center Arena.
The Rockets ushered in their third consecutive home game, and their opponent was the Eastern Conference powerhouse, the Orlando Magic.
Since the Rockets officially announced Yao Ming's comeback before the game, today's Toyota Center was packed with guests!
Shen Fei also arrived at the arena early.
At this time, he was in the box, waiting for the game to start.
Shen Fei had to come to today's game.
Because in addition to Yao Ming's return, this game also has a special meaning.
Just yesterday, when Shen Fei was planning to further strengthen the team, the system beep sounded again for the first time in a long time.
"Ding! Now release the system task - the declaration of winning the championship!"
"Yao Ming has returned to the team, and the Rockets can finally play the game with a complete lineup."
"Young man, let's start fighting for the championship!"
Shen Fei was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't touched a penny from the last 1 billion, and now he has another 2 billion mission...
[I built this brand new rocket to build a dynasty, not just for these scraps of silver.]
Shen Fei thought to himself.
At the same time, his hand unconsciously took out his mobile phone and dialed Mark Jackson's number:
"Mark, I don't want to lose any of the next six games, do you understand?"
............
The return of the little giant from the East - such an important game, CCTV will not miss it.
"Hello, dear viewers! Today, we welcome Yao Ming's comeback after a long absence. I believe that everyone, like me, is very much looking forward to today's game!"
"I am Yang Yi."
"I am Zhang Weiping."
"Welcome everyone to watch the NBA game broadcast brought to you by cctv-5!"
The two commentators made the opening skillfully.
"Director Zhang, what do you think of this game? Can you share it with everyone?"
Yang Yi asked.
"I believe everyone knows that Rockets officials have been very active in the past two days."
"Not only do they claim to have formed the Big Three, they also have a clear goal of winning the championship this season."
"Coupled with Dayao's return, I believe everyone is curious about how this brand-new rocket will perform."
Zhang Weiping said with a smile, but there was also a hint of excitement in his tone.
"Yes! Everyone wants to see whether they are confident or arrogant, and whether they have enough strength to support such a goal."
Yang Yi added.
"Okay, now the starting lineups for both sides have come out."
"For the Rockets: Lowry and Tracy McGrady partner in the backcourt; the small forward is Paul George; Tucker replaces the injured Griffin as the starting power forward; and the one guarding the inside is Yao Ming, who has returned from injury!"
"On the Magic side: Nelson and Vince Carter form a backcourt duo, Quentin Richardson and Rashad Lewis form a frontline duo, and the center is Warcraft - Howard!"
"Although the Rockets defeated the Magic in the preseason, things are different now. Today's Magic will definitely go all out."
"Let us wait and see who will win in the end!"
After that, Yang Yi waved his hand and the screen switched to the Toyota Center Arena.
............
At this time, the starting players of both sides have arrived in the center of the field.
Maddie and Carter, cousins, were greeting each other affectionately.
Yao Ming took a deep breath and walked to the center circle.
Standing in front of him is Dwight Howard, the most popular No. 1 center in the past two years.
Yao Ming looked at Warcraft. Not only did he not show the slightest hint of timidity after being away from the battlefield for a long time, he was actually very relaxed.
After all, in the past encounters between the two, Dayao had an absolute advantage.
To put it simply, it means eating, sleeping and playing World of Warcraft.
As the referee throws the ball high, the game officially begins!
