Chapter 94 The newcomer strikes, Shen Fei's promise!
[Has this day finally come...]
Roy sighed in his heart.
He knows his body very well.
Since the beginning of last season, his two knees have not stopped.
Even after adequate treatment and rest, as long as Roy returns to the court and plays a game, his knee will be extremely sore after the game.
This season, the situation is even worse.
Roy even had a premonition that his retirement was not far away...
Originally, his plan was to help the team reach the playoffs, then burn himself, and finally give it another try.
In this way, no matter what the result is, he can be regarded as having devoted his whole life to the Blazers and lived up to the team's kindness.
did not expect...
This small wish is just wishful thinking after all.
Roy couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this.
"Brandon, are you okay?"
The agent's voice was full of anxiety.
As someone who has been with Roy day and night, he naturally knows what the Trail Blazers mean to Roy.
Now the team has directly completed the transaction without communicating with him. The harm to the players is self-evident.
Not to mention a team leader like Roy who is full of enthusiasm.
"I'm... fine, don't worry."
Roy took a deep breath and tried to calm down before saying.
"Since the team no longer needs me, then I will leave."
"Go and contact Greg. I will fly to Houston with him then."
After that, Roy hung up the phone directly.
Looking at the dark night sky, he felt mixed.
"What role will I play when I go to Houston?"
"How long can I run on the basketball court..."
............
On the other side of Portland, Oden also received a call from his agent.
At this time, his knees were still wrapped in thick bandages.
It has been more than a year since the last injury, but Oden can't even walk normally yet.
Unlike Courtney Lee and Roy, he accepted this information very calmly.
Auden even started packing his luggage on the spot.
He rested for so long throughout the day that he was not very sleepy in the dead of night.
As Oden moved slowly around the room, he wondered in his mind whether he would get a chance after arriving in the Rockets.
Just then, his cell phone rang.
"At this point, is there anyone else calling?"
Auden murmured and walked slowly towards the bedside table with his injured leg.
"Hello, this is Greg Oden."
Auden saw that it was an unfamiliar number and reported his home address.
"Hello, I am Shen Fei, the general manager of the Rockets."
Shen Fei also introduced himself.
"Ah, Manager Shen Fei, what do you want from me?"
Auden was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly.
[Could it be that I was notified that I was laid off, so that I don’t have to report to Houston...]
This is what he thought in his mind.
"You must know that you were traded to the Rockets, right?"
"I'm making this call to tell you that you are in our team building plan."
"After coming to the Rockets, take good care of your injuries first, and there will be a place for you on the team."
Shen Fei said lightly.
In the near future, he will definitely use the system to completely treat Oden.
But ahead of him was Roy.
According to the current progress, it may take about a month before Shen Fei can accumulate enough reputation points to redeem [Holy Light Healing].
But his words seemed to Auden to be like fairy sounds!
[I have not been given up!!!]
Oden was relieved and responded excitedly: "I understand, general manager! I will fly to Houston tomorrow."
"...I will work hard to do rehabilitation training. I will definitely be able to return to the game next season at the latest!"
He added confidently.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in Houston."
After saying that, Shen Fei hung up the phone.
He called Oden specifically to calm the players' emotions.
For someone who has been sick all year round, being given up by the home team must be a huge confidence-breaker.
Shen Fei hopes that Oden will stay confident and not give up on himself and let his figure get out of shape.
In this way, after treating him in the future, the team can get the "Great Emperor" that people expect.
However, when hearing Oden's slightly humble assurance just now, Shen Fei couldn't help but feel sad for him.
The man who was once the proud son of the emperor, and who was said to rule the forbidden area, would actually be reduced to this situation.
"Let me change your destiny..."
"The world should also see how a healthy Oden actually plays."
Shen Fei murmured to himself.
............
The next afternoon, an airport in Houston.
A plane successfully landed.
The hatch opened, and two big men, one black and one white, came out.
It's Roy and Oden!
Roy carried his luggage and walked down the stairs quickly, while Oden followed slowly behind him with the support of his agent.
Soon, the two of them saw several people waiting for them not far away.
"That tall guy is Yao Ming."
Auden said in surprise.
Yao He stands out from the crowd and is naturally very eye-catching.
"Well, and Maddie is here too."
Roy responded as he walked forward.
"The person standing between the two of them...can't be the young general manager of the Rockets, right?"
Auden looked at the Asian young man standing in position C and guessed.
"Apart from him, there is no other young man who can stand between Yao and Mai like the leading brother."
Roy replied with a smile.
"Oh my god, isn't this too grand?"
"Aren't we just...oh no, aren't I just an injured person who will be reimbursed for the season..."
Auden looked flattered.
It didn't take long for the two parties to finally connect.
"Welcome to Houston."
Shen Fei took a step forward and extended his right hand to Roy.
Huang Mamba hurriedly stepped forward.
The two of them slapped each other and leaned on their shoulders again as a greeting.
Auden also performed the same courtesy.
This is a typical chest-bumping ceremony among black people.
Shen Fei's behavior of following the local customs instantly brought him closer to the two of them.
"Let's go, find a place, let's eat and talk."
Immediately, the five people went to a private restaurant in the convertible Hummer that Shen Fei had recently purchased.
............
"You must have heard about the Rockets' goals for this year, right?"
At the dinner table, after several people had had enough wine and food, Shen Fei spoke.
"I've heard a little bit about it."
Roy said calmly.
"I know! The Rockets' ultimate goal this season...is to win the championship!"
Auden raised his right hand, like a student answering a teacher's question.
Shen Fei looked at the emperor's smiling face and couldn't help but sigh at God's fairness - he gave Oden extraordinary physical talent, but also deprived him of all his good looks...
Although he is only 22 years old, he smiles like he is 82 years old.
Looking at this "warm and innocent" smile, Shen Fei felt healed.
"What I want to say is that you two are an important puzzle piece for us to complete our championship."
Shen Fei said seriously.
"But... Manager Shen Fei, I must admit to you that my knees may not be able to support high-intensity competitions."
Roy said bitterly.
"My situation is worse than Brandon's. It should be impossible for me to play this season."
When the injury was mentioned, Oden immediately burst into tears.
"What if I said, I can cure you?"
Shen Fei said with a smile.
"???"
"What did you say?!"
Roy and Oden said in unison.
"Don't get too excited yet."
Shen Fei raised his right hand and gestured: "You should have watched the Rockets games this season, right?"
"I've seen a lot."
Roy replied.
"You must also know something about the situation of Yao Ming and Tracy."
"I'm from China. In my hometown, there are some special treatment methods."
Shen Fei said mysteriously.
"You mean...Chinese medicine?"
Roy tried to ask.
"Yes, Chinese medicine."
"But this treatment method requires a lot of precious medicinal materials, and it takes a lot of time and energy to collect them."
Shen Fei said with a smile.
"It's okay, I can wait! Manager, you don't know..."
Auden immediately said excitedly.
"Don't worry." Shen Fei raised his hand to interrupt Oden and continued: "So, what I mean is that you should train well first and stay in shape. I will notify you as soon as I collect the medicinal materials."
"Greg, your condition is more serious, so you need more medicinal materials and you need to wait a little longer."
The Asian young man joked casually.
"clear!"
Auden nodded immediately.
"Brandon, be prepared. Treatment should start within this month."
Shen Fei turned to look at Huang Mamba and said.
"But manager, actually...my two menisci are completely worn out. Can this be treated?"
