Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 152 The hidden danger of garbage time!

Zhang Weiping's words became a prophecy.

At the beginning of the second half, the Rockets had no intention of stopping at all.

Roy replaced McGrady as the starting shooting guard.

With such an adjustment, when the opponent is not a strong opponent like the Clippers, there is almost no difference.

As soon as he came up, the solo performance began.

In the Clippers' offensive round, Roy successfully singled out Eric Gordon's breakthrough.

Then, he scored a chasing three-pointer in the counterattack.

The Rockets' two rookies, George and Griffin, also increased their active offense after Tracy McGrady left the field.

Under their waves of offensive, the Clippers retreated steadily.

When the third quarter ended, the difference between the two teams came to 50 points!

At this time, the audience at the scene was also ecstatic from the beginning, and gradually calmed down as the score gap widened again and again.

The atmosphere in the Toyota Center also changed from tense to joyful.

A major protagonist of this game - Lance - Stephenson, is off the field early to rest.

When the on-site director cut the camera to him, the Rockets fans just booed twice symbolically, and then ignored the poor rookie with no expression.

A fan said bluntly: "His strength does not match what he said at all, but he is just a clown who is popular."

This view has been recognized by friends around him.

"Let's leave it at that, he will have nothing to do with the Rockets in the future, as long as everyone is safe."

A fan echoed.

At the same time, in the vip box on the stands, Shen Fei watched all this calmly.

Now the game is completely out of suspense, but his task is not 100% complete.

After all, there are unwritten rules in the nba-when your opponent withdraws the main force, you also need to replace the starters to show respect.

In today's game, although Stephenson was provocative first, the indiscriminate bombing in the first three quarters has been offset.

If the main force continues to slaughter in the fourth quarter, it will be somewhat out of style.

Although Shen Fei didn't care about other people's opinions, he didn't want to do such a dishonorable thing.

Fortunately, in order to prevent this, he specially contacted Jeremy Lin last night.

Shen Fei's purpose is also very simple, which is to let Brother Hao prop up the Rockets' offense during the garbage time and ensure that the point difference remains at 50 points.

This is not to say that he does not trust the strength of the Rockets' substitute players, but that young Asians are inherently cautious and want to make sure nothing goes wrong.

If the substitute players are too relaxed due to the huge point difference, there is a possibility that the score will be reduced.

And as long as there is a player like Jeremy fully supporting the lineup, things will be much safer.

And Jeremy Lin was also a little puzzled when he first heard Shen Fei's request, thinking that Stephenson really angered his general manager.

But no matter what, he still agreed to Shen Fei's arrangement.

[Unexpectedly, the manager also has moments of seriousness... After all, he is a young man hahaha. ]

Shuhao thought so in his heart.

Ever since, when Mark Jackson withdrew all the main players in the fourth quarter and replaced them with players who were late in the rotation, Brother Hao immediately reacted—it’s time for me to play a role!

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

In the commentary section of CCTV, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun had already chatted for a while about topics that had nothing to do with the competition.

They took advantage of the break during the festival to discuss what Shen Fei's appearance could bring to the Huaxia men's basketball team in the future.

"I think, with Shen Fei's kindness to Shu Hao, it shouldn't be a problem to naturalize him to China."

Su Qun talked eloquently.

"Well, when we interviewed Shen Fei last time, I was there, and he did promise to come forward to lobby Shu Hao."

Zhang Weiping nodded and said.

"Jesus was in great shape some time ago, but unfortunately after Lowry and Lawson recovered from their injuries, Mark Jackson still positioned him as the third point guard."

Su Qun said with regret.

"It's really a pity. Maybe the coach has his own considerations. But in the fourth quarter today, we should see Shu Hao playing a lot of time."

Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

"Yes."

"Okay, the fourth quarter will start soon, and both sides have replaced the players at the end of the bench."

"Although there is no suspense in the game, in addition to watching Shuhao, we can also pay attention to the players of the Rockets who usually don't have many opportunities to play."

Su Qun took the bait and continued.

"The Rockets sent: Jeremy, Kevin Martin, Danny Green, Sean Battier and Luis Scola..."

At the end of Su Qun's speech, his tone was a little uncertain.

It stands to reason that these people are indeed the players at the end of the bench in the Rockets, but... this lineup is a bit too strong, right? !

Martin, Battier, and Scola, these three are all powerful players who are in their singles years, and they were also the absolute main players of the team last season.

But now... they turned out to be the players that the Rockets put on the court in garbage time.

Such a gap, not to mention the Chinese commentator on the other side of the ocean, even the fans at the Toyota Center found it hard to accept for a while.

"Seeing these guys play, I suddenly feel like a lifetime away."

"Yeah, we had high hopes for them last season, relying on these three brothers to hit the playoffs."

"I have to say that our current lineup configuration is too extravagant. I feel that this lineup is stronger than last year's starting lineup!"

"I also feel this way! Speaking of which, what kind of god is our manager, who can make such a big change in the Rockets in a few months!"

......

Fans, you say a word to me, telling the shock in your heart.

Amidst their discussions, the fourth quarter officially started.

Facts have proved that Shen Fei's caution is reasonable and critical!

Although the Rockets' book strength is much superior to that of the Clippers, at the beginning of the game, it was the latter who realized their shame and took the lead in making efforts.

At the beginning of the game, Kevin Martin, who had just played, was eager to express himself.

In the first round, he wanted to play singles with the ball, and when the opponent attacked on the spot, he chose to force a shot...

"duang!"

Martin's shot hit the front of the basket hard and bounced out of the frame.

The Clippers quickly launched a counterattack.

But except for Shu Hao and Danny Green, the other three were obviously too slack and did not retreat quickly in the first place.

Bledsoe seized the opportunity, hit the inside line and made a layup.

Then, Battier missed an open three-pointer in his best corner position.

The Clippers worked together to protect the rebound and hit a 3-pointer in the transition attack!

At 115:70, the point difference narrowed to 45 points.

Shuhao immediately sensed that something was wrong, he took the initiative to call his teammates to his side, and said:

"Brothers, the manager takes this game very seriously! So, although we will definitely not lose this game, if we collapse in the last quarter...the manager may not be happy."

"So, let's cheer up!"

Danny Green nodded after hearing the words.

And Scola and Battier hesitated for a moment, also said that the next will cheer up.

Only Martin looked indifferent: "Okay, then give me the ball. The group of unknown people whose names have never been heard on the opposite side can't guard against me at all."

After all, Shuhao is a rookie, seeing the attitude of the team's big brother, he doesn't know what to say.

Leadership is not easy, Brother Hao sighed.

[It doesn't matter, I have to perform myself first, so that I can motivate my teammates! ]

Shuhao thought so in his heart.

Therefore, in the next round, facing Bledsoe's defense, he decisively launched an attack!
