Chapter 8 Convincing Maddie, Shen Fei is not satisfied!
"Sorry, I have no plans to return to the Rockets for the time being."
Maddie still refused, her tone cold.
"I know you are angry."
"If it were me, I would be unhappy if I did my best for the team but didn't get the respect and understanding I deserve."
Shen Fei has read countless people in his previous life and knows how to persuade others from their perspective.
"In order to win, I took the risk of career reimbursement, closed the door and continued to play the highest intensity competition. What was the result?"
"The fans think that I am a softie, that I have no spirit and that I cannot grit my teeth and persevere like Kobe."
"But that's a knee injury. No one would be able to hold on."
McGrady poured out his resentment, which he had been holding in for two years.
"I'm sorry that the team didn't stand up and speak for you at that time."
"I believe in your fighting spirit."
"If those who are behind by a big score and still don't give up with only 35 seconds left are considered to have no spirit, I'm afraid no one in this world will have any spirit."
Shen Fei tried to make the atmosphere less depressing.
"snort..."
McGrady was still dissatisfied, but it was obvious that Shen Fei's words were very useful.
"However, you have never touched the O'Brien Cup (NBA championship) in all these years with the Rockets. Don't you regret it?"
Shen Fei asked knowingly.
"It's a pity, of course it's a pity."
"But I know myself. With my current physical condition, it is unlikely that I will become the core player of the championship team."
Maddie said sadly.
His back injuries and knee injuries are irreversible injuries that have taken away many of his physical functions.
You know, Tracy McGrady, who just debuted, was voted "the most suitable person to play" by the media.
T-mac doesn't have the strength of James or the speed of Iverson, but he has a slender figure and a height of 203cm. He also has the coordination of a small guard...
If it weren't for congenital spondylitis, McGrady's talent would be ranked among the best in history.
Unfortunately, injuries have taken away all of this.
The current t-mac is just an ordinary substitute for the Pistons.
Shen Fei also learned that at the end of last season, Tracy McGrady expressed his willingness to accept a basic salary in exchange for playing opportunities.
"What if I said that I could restore your body to its peak?"
Shen Fei's words were like dropping a huge stone on a calm lake.
"What did you say?!"
McGrady swept away his previous cold attitude and asked in surprise.
"I said, I am confident that I can cure all the old injuries on your body and bring you back to your peak condition."
Shen Fei vowed emphatically.
"Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, you must know how to play Rockets and play for me."
"By the way, my goal for this season, no, the Rockets have only one goal - to win the championship."
"do you understand me?"
Shen Fei continued.
"You mean, cure me and then let me lead the Rockets to the championship?"
McGrady confirmed again.
"That's what I mean. You and Yao will lead the team together. Of course, I will also find other helpers for you so that you won't be left alone like in the past."
Shen Fei answered seriously.
In his previous life, he had witnessed every defeat of the Yao-Mai team in the playoffs.
For example, in the series against the Mavericks that year, the two sides reached the tiebreaker.
In that game, the Rockets suffered a huge defeat, but Yao and Mai maintained a high level of scoring and shooting percentage.
Dual-core shines, why does it collapse?
the reason is simple.
The rocket's dual cores are very powerful, but apart from these dual cores, there is no one else.
For example, in that series where McGrady played a closed game.
Before the last game, t-mac pulled Mutombo, the living fossil in the team, and said: "Old man, I need you to score 20 points and 15 rebounds in this game, so that we can have a chance to win. "
Yes, in the end, when McGrady looked at the entire team, the only one he could rely on was a veteran who was good at defense.
"Are you serious? I have seen countless sports medicine experts in the past two years, and no one can cure my injury."
Maddie still couldn't believe it.
"I'm from China."
"In my hometown, there is a special treatment method called traditional Chinese medicine."
Shen Fei's voice slowed down, as if he was telling a secret.
Of course, he was just talking nonsense.
He doesn't know anything about Chinese medicine. He can't tell the other person. I'm going to prescribe treatment for you.
"As soon as the free agent market opens, you can come to the Toyota Center to report and we will discuss it in detail after we meet."
When Shen Fei saw that t-mac was already moved, he immediately made the decision.
McGrady didn't refute anymore, so he agreed.
He still has a strong dream of becoming a champion in his heart.
Shen Fei clearly remembered that for the coveted O'Brien Cup, McGrady was even willing to work as a water cooler for the Spurs in order to get a championship ring.
Now Shen Fei is not only willing to provide a platform to compete for the championship, but also promises to heal his injuries.
What other reason does McGrady have to refuse?
The past grudges are nothing compared to winning the championship!
Moreover, why doesn’t Tracy McGrady want to win back his glory in Houston?!
............
After finishing McGrady, Shen Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
If things go well and the Rockets win the Summer League championship, they will gain a superstar point guard who is at his peak.
Magic Wheat, White Horse Spear, has the fastest first step in the league, and an unsolvable pull-up jump shot!
However, Shen Fei was not satisfied just yet.
After he returned to his manager's office, he took out the team's roster again.
"T-Mac is back and Paul George is growing rapidly. Then the Rockets won't have to worry about the two positions of shooting guard and small forward."
"Lori is more than adequate as the starting point guard."
"The biggest problem now is inside. There is still a lot of room for improvement in the center selection before Yao Ming returns, as well as the power forward position."
Shen Fei murmured to himself.
Last season, when Yao Ming was out due to injury, the Rockets usually let Chuck Hayes fill the five position.
This short insider has amazing lower body strength.
Even legendary insiders like O'Neal and Duncan would find it difficult to take advantage of Haiye in the low post.
But... Hayes can't resist this one advantage.
If he is allowed to play the starting center, the Rockets will be equivalent to four on five on the offensive end.
Moreover, Haiye can only defend the inside line. Once he is pulled to the outside line, his ability to defend the small ones is not enough!
Let’s talk about the power forward position.
Diamond - Luis Scola is a very good player.
He has solid skills, a "kaleidoscope" of footwork inside, and a high golf IQ. He is definitely the type that every coach likes.
However, his dynamic talent is very average and it is difficult to support interior defense.
The low-post offense that is essential for survival is also easily restricted at the top.
Simply put, what the Rockets currently lack most is a talented inside player.
"Even if Yao Ming fully recovers from injury in the future, he will still need someone on the inside to help him share the pressure..."
After thinking about this, Shen Fei turned on his computer and started browsing the player lists of each team.
