Chapter 16 The surprising new aid, Shen Fei's arrangement!
Three days later, Shen Fei came to the Toyota Center Arena again.
When he walked into the arena, he saw Mark Jackson arranging training in an orderly manner.
When the Rockets players noticed Shen Fei's arrival, they all stopped and paid attention.
"Hello, manager!"
Lori greeted happily, her smile as warm and innocent as ever.
"Don't worry about me, just train well."
Shen Fei smiled, waved to them, and said lightly.
The players immediately returned to training, and Shen Fei walked over to Mark Jackson.
"How do you feel after these three days of training?"
Shen Fei asked with a smile.
"To be honest, these kids on the team have given me so many surprises!"
Mark Jackson said excitedly.
"Tell me."
Shen Fei had already guessed that he would say this, but he was still a little curious.
"Let's talk about the rookies first. Paul George, whom we selected with the No. 0 pick this year, is definitely a talent that can be created!"
"In him, I really see the shadows of Kobe and Tracy McGrady."
"Paul doesn't just rely on his excellent physical fitness to play basketball, as the scouting report said. The rhythm of his dribbling and the stretch of his movements are no worse than those of the so-called dribbling masters in the NBA. !”
Mark Jackson said excitedly, his tone full of appreciation.
He is a point guard and has absolute say in dribbling.
What George still lacks is the handling of details and the control of mistakes.
But he is still young, so these are not big problems!
"And Jeremy Lin. From him, I also see great potential."
"Those scouts hired by the team with high salaries should be fired. No one is paying attention to such a treasure in the draft!"
Jackson was filled with indignation and his expression was very puzzled.
Shen Fei smiled slightly.
This alliance's discrimination against yellow people has never disappeared.
Jeremy Lin performed so well in the physical test, but he still didn't get the respect he deserved.
In the original time and space, he also went through hardships before getting a chance with the Knicks.
Moreover, D'Antoni, the Knicks coach at the time, gave Hao a chance because there was no one on the team.
This is what later became "Linsanity"!
"What about the newly signed free agents? How are the three of them performing?"
Shen Fei continued to ask.
"Tony Allen is just as expected, his defense is very good! He will play a huge role in the championship in the future."
"But what I didn't expect was that P.J. Tucker's defensive ability was so good!"
"In the past few days of training, whether he is playing the 4th or 3rd position, he can make it very uncomfortable for the opposing offensive players."
"I think Tucker may not be able to guard against heavy forwards like James. But dealing with technical wings like Durant and Luol Deng may have unexpected effects!"
Mark Jackson said with a smile.
The team suddenly has two more defensive gates. This is really a blessing for a coach who is committed to defense!
"However, Tracy's situation is not optimistic. His knee injury has not yet recovered, which limits his movement on both offense and defense."
"Manager, you may have different feelings towards Tracy. But I still want to remind you that McGrady may not be suitable for the current NBA."
Speaking, Mark Jackson sighed.
Shen Fei understood what the other party meant.
Heroes age quickly, beauties age slowly, and all good things cannot escape the ravages of time.
With McGrady's current physical condition, it is difficult to be a rotation player in an ordinary team, let alone lead the team to compete for the championship.
It can only be said that his injury in the playoffs the year before last completely destroyed his body.
Fortunately, Shen Fei has a special treatment method!
"Don't worry, Mark. I'll fix Tracy."
"You just have to be ready to meet Tracy McGrady at his peak."
"But don't mention this to others for the time being."
Shen Fei ordered.
Mark Jackson was stunned when he heard this.
Will you cure him?
Could it be that this young man not only has a profound understanding of basketball, but is also extremely proficient in medical skills?
You know, the injuries on t-mac's body are basically nothing that can be cured!
"Manager, I just talked with Tracy McGrady yesterday. His knee injuries and back injuries were diagnosed as irreversible injuries by the best doctors in the United States. Can you really cure them?"
Mark Jackson couldn't believe it.
"You don't have to worry about this, I will take care of it."
"But for the summer league that starts tomorrow, I have some things I need you to do."
Shen Fei did not explain too much, but brought the topic to the focus of his trip.
"You say."
Mark Jackson nodded, as if he was all ears.
"We have recently been discussing a trade for Griffin, the Clippers' top pick."
"So, the next game is very important. We have to win, and win well."
Shen Fei said solemnly.
"There are a few more requests."
"First, I plan to let Tucker guard Griffin."
"You can talk to Tucker privately later and ask him to go all out on defense tomorrow."
Mark Jackson listened and wrote down the key information.
"Second, the Clippers may ask us to include some outstanding young players in the transaction."
"So, don't let Paul George play tomorrow. Let's just say that he suffered some minor injuries."
"You can arrange more tactics for Stephenson and let him be the main attacker tomorrow."
Shen Fei ordered.
Mark Jackson was stunned when he heard this, but soon understood what Shen Fei meant.
As a veteran who has been involved in the NBA for many years, he naturally knows that the NBA is essentially a business league, and teams will adjust players' playing time at certain times in order to reach a deal.
Special tactics will even be arranged to help this player perform at the best level possible.
Mark Jackson knows that Griffin is the No. 1 pick and if he wants to trade him, he will have to pay a lot of chips.
And Shen Fei's meaning is also very clear. Paul George is not for sale, but Stephenson can be traded.
"I see."
Mark Jackson nodded.
Although Stephenson has also shown good abilities in recent training.
But compared to Paul George, his talent is still slightly inferior.
Tomorrow's task is to let Stephenson perform well and increase his trading value.
"Manager, I know Griffin well. He did well in college, but he was reimbursed for the season in his first year in the NBA. Is such a player worth our effort to trade?"
Mark Jackson asked.
Obviously, he was also affected by the public opinion storm arranged by Shen Fei, and felt that Griffin might make the same mistake as Oden.
"Don't worry, Mark."
"Griffin is a rising star across the ages, and this is the year he takes off."
Shen Fei spoke in a concise manner.
Mark Jackson saw that the Asian young man had such a determined attitude, so he said no more.
After all, in the past few days of training, the Rockets' newcomers performed very well.
It made him feel more confident about Shen Fei's ability and vision.
Although he still doesn't believe that the Rockets have the strength to compete for the championship this season, Mark Jackson has more trust in Shen Fei than before!
"I understand, I'll make arrangements later, so don't worry and leave it to me."
Mark Jackson said seriously.
"Okay. One more thing, my request for this summer league is very simple - win the championship!"
Shen Fei continued.
Only by winning the Summer League championship can McGrady return to the top.
And the top McGrady is the cornerstone of the team in Shen Fei's eyes!
