Legendary basketball manager

Shen Fei is still very confident in Lawson's strength.

This typical American guard has a strong scoring power.

Moreover, he also has good organizational skills and can act as a core defender on the court.

If you open your eyes, it is naturally impossible for Lawson to compare with Curry.

But today, his performance is not inferior to Mengshen.

Curry helped the team with three-pointers, and Lawson also used his sharp breakthroughs to hit the Warriors' basket frequently.

In tonight's game, the latter's overall performance was even slightly better in the direct dialogue!

Of course, the level of ability between the two is not the reason why the Warriors general manager changed his mind.

What really shook Larry Riley was Curry's sudden injury.

Perhaps because of the butterfly effect caused by Shen Fei's time travel, the primary school student sprained his ankle earlier than in the original time and space.

Injuries have always been something that players and management are very afraid of.

If a player is frequently injured in a short period of time, it is easy for people to have bad reverie.

For example, before the start of the regular season, Griffin was completely disheartened by the general manager of the Clippers because of a minor injury, and finally reached a deal with the Rockets.

But the truth is, Griffin has been healthy since that preseason game!

In other words, without that injury, he might be the white monster who led the Clippers to become the city of lobs now!

But now, Curry's hidden danger of injury is the reason why Riley suddenly asked Lawson!

But Shen Fei didn't act too hastily, his answer was thoughtful.

If the other party asked the price and acted like "no problem, come and trade with me", then Lawson's transaction value would be affected invisibly.

Although Shen Fei was willing to pay more chips for Curry in his heart, he didn't want to waste it either.It is one of Shen Fei's business principles to save as much as possible and to seek benefits as much as possible.

"Lawson will play better and better. I even think that he will reach the All-Star level in a short time."

"So, your current asking price is equivalent to asking about the opportunity to buy the bottom."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

"Curry was injured just now, so your asking price is not a bargain."

Larry Riley shook his head and said.

"Well, I'll observe for a while longer. First, I want to see Lawson's quality. Second, I'll give Stephen another chance to prove himself."

The Warriors manager continued.

Shen Fei understood the meaning of the other party as soon as he heard it.

In the first half of the sentence, to put it bluntly, I want to know whether Lawson "had a meal of dumplings" today, a big explosion, or a normal level in the future.

The second half of the sentence is to determine whether Curry's body can be entrusted with the important task of the core of the team.

Or it can only be transformed into a pure shooter, so as to reduce consumption and avoid injuries

[It seems that we still need to speed up the pace of the transaction, otherwise Curry's injury will stabilize in the future, and the other party may not want to trade. ]

Shen Fei thought to himself, but nodded calmly on the surface.

"Don't worry, just contact me after you're sure."

The Asian youth said lightly.

Soon, Larry Riley drove Shen Fei to the place where the latter took a private jet.

After getting off the car, Shen Fei stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "Thank you for today's hospitality, next time our two teams will fight again, welcome to Toyota Center to watch the game."

He specially came to San Francisco to watch the game this time, and he came here for Curry.

Fortunately, the process went smoothly, and several of Shen Fei's predetermined goals were basically completed, which can be regarded as a solid step on the road of pursuing Curry.

This makes Asian youth very excited!

"Like next week? We're going to have another fight."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there! We'll talk in detail then."

Larry Riley said, also stretched out his right hand.

The two shook hands and bid farewell.

............

When Fei Shen and Larry Riley bid farewell at the airport, the generals of the Rockets celebrated passionately in the locker room!

16 consecutive victories, such a terrifying record, before the season, no one could have imagined that the Rockets could pursue it.

Not to mention, this is the 16 consecutive victories since the start of the game!

Now, the Rockets have thrown off the Bulls with the second record in the league by 3 wins (13 wins and 3 losses), and firmly occupy the leading position!

In the NBA's first official team strength list, the Rockets are also well-deserved No.1!

Behind them are the Bulls led by Rose, the Heat with the Big Three, and the old and solid Spurs.

In other words, the Rockets have become the favorites for the championship in people's minds!

In the locker room at this time, the players were all very happy.

Lowry played hip-hop music, twisted and danced with Tucker.

McGrady got a bottle of champagne from somewhere, and drenched Lawson, who performed well in this game, into a drenched chicken.

The caring Yao Ming specially asked the referee for the game ball after the game, and gave it to Roy who returned from injury.

To celebrate, the return of the Yellow Mamba!

In the happy atmosphere of everyone, there was a person with a dark face who sat in the corner without saying a word.

This person is Kevin Martin.

In today's game, his rotation position was replaced by Roy.

As a direct result, Martin only played a few minutes in garbage time in the fourth quarter.

For Martin, who is at his peak (27 years old) and averaged 20.6 points per game last season, it is unacceptable!

[I obviously did nothing wrong, why did I become a player at the end of the bench from an absolute starter? ! ]

Martin kept asking himself in his heart.

There was an answer that loomed, but he didn't want to admit it, and that was... lack of strength!

Yes, Martin does have quasi-All-Star quality.

But in the current Rockets team, he is indeed not ranked as a shooting guard.

In terms of offense, Martin is far inferior to Tracy McGrady, who has returned to his peak, and compared with Roy, who has just returned from injury, he is also insignificant.

On defense... no way, because you can't talk about something that doesn't exist.

Martin has always been in the team and has been assigned to defend the opponent's least offensive player.

But now, the team has a DPOY-level perimeter defender like Tony Allen. Battier, George and even rookie Danny Green are much better defensively than him!

Neither offense nor defense ranks high, so it's not surprising that he didn't play time.

Martin was vaguely aware of this, but he didn't want to admit it.

[Since the coach no longer trusts me, I might as well leave...]

With this in mind, Martin decided to have a showdown with Shen Fei after returning to Houston.

............

A day later, Shen Fei was sitting leisurely on the sofa, sipping the coffee his assistant had just made, when there was a hasty knock on the door.

"Come in."

The Asian youth didn't get up, but said calmly on the spot.

The next moment, Martin walked in.
