Jeremy Lin had just fallen out of the rotation, so he was inevitably feeling a little depressed.
But when he saw Shen Fei walking towards him, he still stopped what he was doing and showed a happy expression.
Shuhao clearly remembers that before the draft, it was Shen Fei who gave him the draft promise, allowing him to successfully land in the NBA.
This is already a great opportunity for Jeremy Lin, whose draft prospects are bleak!
You know, at that time, in the draft predictions of authoritative sports websites such as ESPN, he was predicted to lose the draft.
After being drafted by the Rockets, Jeremy Lin thought he would start in the Development League.
Unexpectedly, coach Mark Jackson gave Shuhao full trust as soon as he joined the team.
Not only was he given the backup point guard position, but he also had stable playing time in every game.
The scholar was flattered.
Later, during an exchange with the head coach, he learned that Mark Jackson was influenced by Shen Fei and gave him so many opportunities at the beginning.
From then on, Shuhao remembered Shen Fei's kindness even more and was very eager to use his own performance to repay him.
Therefore, before the last game, when Shuhao learned that he had lost his position as the second point guard, his first reaction was not anger or unwillingness, but guilt.
He felt that it was because his performance was not good enough that the coach made such a decision.
From that day on, Shuhao became the "rat" of the arena.
Every day, he is the first one to enter the gym, and then he trains until he is the last one to walk out of the gym.
Once, Mark Jackson saw Jeremy Lin acting crazy during training and was worried about his health. He even ordered Jeremy Lin to stop training immediately and go home to rest.
And Shen Fei learned all these things from Mark Jackson, which also made him appreciate Jeremy Lin even more.
What management wouldn't love a player who works so hard?
"You'll get your chance soon, Lin."
"What you need to do is to maintain your condition, express yourself boldly when you get the opportunity, and show off these things in training."
"I've watched your games before."
"What I want to tell you is that what the Rockets need is a confident and bold Jeremy Lin. Not an ordinary guard who is timid and only thinks about making wedding dresses for his teammates. Do you understand?"
Shen Fei looked into Jeremy Lin's eyes and said seriously.
"I understand, manager!"
Shen Fei's words were like a shot in the arm, giving Jeremy Lin great confidence.
In fact, in previous games, he had been suppressing his desire to attack.
Shuhao felt that since there were so many talented players in the team, as an undrafted player, he just had to pass the ball.
Therefore, he chose to pass some balls that he had the opportunity to attack.
And Shu Hao, who has lost the offensive threat, naturally cannot behave like "Linsanity".
"Okay, then you can continue training."
After that, Shen Fei waved his hand and left the field, heading to the last field.
............
There, Griffin had already been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the young Asian man.
"You are as good as I imagined."
Shen Fei praised straight to the point.
"I also know that the team currently lacks a big center, which makes you struggle on the defensive end. But don't worry, Yao Ming will be back soon."
"At that time, the pressure on you to protect the frame will not be so great, and you can devote more energy to offense."
Shen Fei said with a smile.
Griffin nodded repeatedly, saying that he had admired Yao Ming for a long time and hoped to cooperate with him soon.
"I have two suggestions for you."
Shen Fei said lightly.
"First, your physical fitness is very good, but you still have to pay attention to protecting yourself. Injuries can take away all the talents of athletes."
"Second, I noticed that when you dunk, your left hand often presses down to protect the ball."
"Actually, with your bounce, you can dunk the ball normally, so I hope you can avoid this action as much as possible."
"After all, you are the future face of our Rockets. I hope you can do your best and not give others a reason to criticize you."
Shen Fei's words can be described as "knowing with emotion, moving with reason".
It not only told Griffin the stakes, but also made him understand that the team valued him.
When Griffin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he must pay attention.
After chatting with the three people, it was very close to the time for the team to gather.
Rocket soldiers began to arrive one after another.
Afterwards, Shen Fei and Mark Jackson watched the training from the sidelines.
"Next, we can continue to add three-point tactics."
"Let's give you a small goal. Let the Rockets become the team with the most three-pointers per game in the league."
The Asian young man said while watching the training.
"Ah this..."
Mark Jackson is a traditional guard and is not good at three-pointers.
Therefore, deploying so many three-point tactics in the first year of coaching actually conflicts with his basketball philosophy.
Unexpectedly, Shen Fei was not satisfied yet and felt that he would continue to increase his three-point shots.
Mark Jackson is willing to try, but he doesn't know many three-point tactics.
"I have studied several good tactics during this period. Can I tell you about them?"
Shen Fei asked with a smile.
Immediately, he told Mark Jackson some of the classic three-point tactics he had seen in the Warriors and Rockets in his previous life.
Mark Jackson was just listening at first.
In his eyes, although Shen Fei has a very high golf IQ, when it comes to tactics for laymen, it is very easy to become idealistic and draw some tactics that are not in line with the reality of the game.
[Things like tactics should still be left to professional coaches.]
But listen, Mark Jackson found out that he was totally wrong!
The tactics Shen Fei mentioned are not only sharp, but also completely feasible.
Mark Jackson quickly took out his notebook and recorded in detail the tactics Shen Fei said.
"Great, manager!"
"I'm sure that if we train these tactics well, our offensive firepower will be stronger than before!"
Mark Jackson said very excitedly.
"Well, I hope it helps you."
Shen Fei remained calm and responded with a smile.
"By the way, I hope to do my best to win the next game."
The Asian young man said suddenly.
Mark Jackson was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.
"If you can win the game the day after tomorrow, I will give you a surprise."
