Chapter 542: Incentive strategies must be right
At the press conference after the second game of the Western Conference Finals, Steve Kerr said in response to reporters' questions: "This is the full embodiment of the home court advantage! The Rockets have a very good home atmosphere, and they have a very good team. fans, so they were lucky to win two games in a row!"

"However, what I want to say is that the next game will return to our home court. We will definitely try our best to turn the tide, and we will definitely get back a big score! Don't believe me, everyone will wait and see!"

Obviously, the Warriors are not convinced.

They firmly believe that their side was too unlucky in the first two games, so they lost the game!
After returning to their home court, they will regain the initiative and win the victory.

Two days later, the Rockets took a flight to Oakland.

Oakland is located in California.

It is the eighth largest city in the state, facing San Francisco across the sea, and there is a cross-sea bridge between the two cities.

The University City of Berkeley is adjacent to the Oakland sea area. In short, its area belongs to the San Francisco-Oakland metropolitan area, which is the sixth largest metropolitan area in the United States.

Because of this, although Oakland is only a small city, the Golden State Warriors are doing well here, the team has a high attendance rate, and the loyalty of local fans is also good.

After staying at the hotel.

Because there was a game that night, D'Antoni immediately held a meeting after checking in.

Leading 2:0, this shows that the Rockets have seized the opportunity. Generally speaking, teams that can achieve a 2:0 lead in the playoff series will rarely be overturned.

However, less does not mean nothing.

In the 2015-16 season, the Warriors once led the Cavaliers 3:1 in the Finals.

The results of it?
Under the leadership of LeBron James, the Cavaliers actually won 3 games in a row, and finally won the finals 4:3. The Cavaliers also won the first championship trophy in team history.

D'Antoni was nervous.

He is very nervous.

This year's situation is even better than last year's. D'Antoni is very eager to win the Warriors 4:0 and then directly enter the finals!

Reaching the finals, Dilman Fertitta's pressure on D'Antoni's shoulders will be greatly reduced.

The Rockets haven't made it to the Finals in years.

"Gentlemen, first of all, I have to thank everyone for their great contribution to the team's victory in the past two games! It was not easy! We won two home games! We have a 2:0 lead! But, I think It is said that it was very difficult for us to win the two games at home. This shows that compared with the Warriors, we are not too dominant in team ability, and the two sides can only say that they are evenly matched! Now, let’s come to Arrived at the home court of the Warriors! Tonight, we will hold the third game of the series against the Warriors! This game is very important! If we can win, we will get the match point! And the Warriors will suffer even greater Mental pressure! On the other hand, if we lose, then the Warriors are likely to take advantage of the situation to win two home games, and everyone will come to the same starting line again. According to the request of Mr. Dillman Fertitta, he hopes that everyone must Do our best to win the game. Only in this way can we reach the finals! I would like to ask, are you ready?" D'Antoni said.

"Ready!"

The players responded sparsely.

Wang Fei didn't speak.

He felt that D'Antoni's incentive strategy was not quite right.

He only gave everyone pressure, no motivation.Such mobilization is basically meaningless.

D'Antoni didn't get a warm response, he frowned and looked at Wang Fei.

D'Antoni smiled and said, "Wang, do you have any ideas?"

Wang Fei smiled and said, "Mr. D'Antoni, let me say a few words to everyone, okay?"

"Of course." D'Antoni said with a smile.

The eyes of the Rockets players were all focused on Wang Fei.

Wang Fei smiled slightly, looked around, and his eyes paused on the faces of each player.

Then, Wang Fei said: "Have you ever thought about being able to lead the Warriors 2:0 in the Western Conference Finals?"

"No!" The voices in response became more uniform and louder.

Wang Fei continued: "Many people say that the Warriors are very powerful! But, in my opinion, the Warriors are just a paper tiger!"

Wang Fei spoke out what the great man said.

"Why do I say that the Warriors are paper tigers? Because they have many internal conflicts! They are not united! Moreover, because there are too many superstars, their battle for the ball is much more severe than ours. Judging from the results of the regular season, we have It can be seen that the current lineup of the Warriors has run in for the entire regular season, but there are still some stumbles! Their running-in effect is not very good! This can be seen from the regular season results of the Warriors! They only got 57 in the regular season. Compared with the previous seasons, the victory is much worse! Some people may say that the Warriors did not make any effort in the regular season. Their enthusiasm for the regular season has almost dissipated, and they have been accumulating energy for the playoffs! But what I want to say is, no one wants to lose! Losing really sucks! Why should they lose if they can easily win? They lost so many games, even we can sweep the Warriors in the regular season, this is It is enough to show that our strength is a level higher than theirs! We don't need to be inferior, thinking that their five-star lineup is strong, they have entered the finals for 4 consecutive years, they have won 3 championships, and so on to scare ourselves! No need! Now, it is not us who should bear the burden, but the warriors! It is not us, but the warriors who should be afraid! Therefore, what I want to ask everyone is, do you have the confidence to win the game tonight?!" Wang Fei Speak impassionedly.

In the meeting room, all the Rockets players, including the staff, were immediately excited.

"Have!"

"We must win!"

There was a deafening echo in the conference room.

Seeing this scene, D'Antoni felt a little ashamed in his heart.

He had to admit that his ability to motivate his players was very poor, at least one level behind Wang Fei.

Wang Fei smiled slightly and said: "Gentlemen, what I want to share with you is that I am very relaxed now and I am not nervous at all! Forget about winning or losing or anything like that! Everyone should enjoy the game! Enjoy playing ball Fun! That's the only way we can play a perfect game! Do you think I'm making sense?"

"Wow!"

There was warm applause in the conference room.

Harden was applauding too.

However, his heart is becoming more and more complicated at this moment.

Before he was injured, Wang Fei had gradually started to seize power.

After Harden was injured, Wang Fei was quickly helped by the team management.Now, Wang Fei has really become a well-deserved leader of the Rockets.

What made Harden feel the most uncomfortable was that in his absence, Wang Fei led the Rockets all the way to the Western Conference Finals.

Now, they are leading the Warriors 2:0, pushing the Warriors to the wall.

This embarrassed Harden.

What is this indicating?

It shows that the Rockets have no problem without Harden.

It further shows that Harden's value in this team has reached the point of being dispensable.

This is unbearable for any super giant.

However, Harden was helpless.

What can he do?

Even if he can play, the Rockets still have to play with Wang Fei as the center!
After lunch, Wang Fei planned to rest in his room for a while.

However, at this time, there was a knock on the door.

Wang Feixin said, at this time, who will come to disturb me?

The Rockets have taken over the entire hotel, making it basically impossible for outsiders to enter.

Wang Fei sat up, got up and opened the door.

There were two people standing outside the door.

One is the assistant coach of the Rockets, Fisher Tiger, and the other is a middle-aged man with an oriental face and glasses.

"Wang, this is Cheng, the general manager of Jindi Chocolate. He is one of the few friends I have made in Huaguo. Cheng said that he has something very important to talk to you about. Can you see it?" ?” Fisher Tiger said.

"Hello! Wang Fei, I'm Cheng Haifeng, the general manager of Jindi Chocolate. Nice to meet you!" The man with glasses hurriedly greeted Wang Fei.

The general manager of Jindi Chocolate?
Wang Fei was taken aback.

He didn't quite understand why the other party came here.

However, after thinking about it, Wang Fei understood a little bit.Didn't he say in the post-match press conference that his secret is to eat Jindi chocolate?

Now it's all right, the other party has found it.

Is this to thank yourself?

"Please come in!" Wang Fei ushered the two into the room.

Wang Fei is the main player of the Rockets. He lives in a single room, and the room conditions are quite good, and there is a sofa in the room.

Fisher Tiger sat down on the sofa with Mr. Cheng.

"Mr. Cheng, why do you want to see me?" Wang Fei said with a smile.

"Mr. Wang, it's like this. Thanks to you, our brand name was mentioned at the press conference after the first game against the Warriors. This has greatly increased our domestic popularity, and even many foreign traders I am contacting us, hoping to do business with us. Our business has increased quite a lot in just a few days. This is really beyond our expectation. From this point, we also fully realize that you are in China This time, I made a special trip to sponsor you, and at the same time, we hope to cooperate with you and let you be our global spokesperson, do you think it is okay?" Cheng Haifeng said.

Wang Feixin said, this is really a correct guess!

I really found myself to cooperate.

Still have a conscience.

Wang Fei smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, if you want to have business cooperation with me, I suggest you talk to my agent, because I'm very busy right now and don't have much time."

"Mr. Wang, it won't take you long. This is what we think. You have already endorsed us with practical actions. Is this good? We will formally sign an endorsement agreement. We are a small brand and cannot give it to you. Too many endorsement fees, do you think I can give you US$100 million a year?" Cheng Haifeng said with an embarrassed look.
