Legendary basketball manager

As soon as Larry Riley heard the head coach's attitude, he knew that the other party would definitely cooperate, so he immediately relaxed.

"Don't worry, Keith."

"But looking at the bargaining chip, it's obvious that we are taking advantage. After all, Murphy is a rubbish contract now, right?"

Larry Riley said with a smile.

"correct."

"Even if Curry can match the transaction value of those two people, and then take such a rubbish contract...Can the Rockets agree?"

Smart asked suspiciously.

"That's why I came here to find you today!"

"The thing is like this... I told Rockets general manager Shen Fei yesterday that Murphy is actually recovering well and can return to his peak state in the future."

Before Larry Riley finished speaking, Smart couldn't help interjecting: "Can he believe this?"

"Of course he doesn't believe it."

"But Shen Fei didn't directly refuse...he wanted to see Murphy's appearance on the spot."

"So, tomorrow's game, I hope both Curry and Murphy can show their best performance!"

Larry Riley said seriously.

"Em...I see."

"For Curry, there is no problem. If I tilt the focus of offense on him, he will be able to get good data."

"But this Murphy... is a bit difficult. He is considered weak in the second team now. Even if I put him in the starting lineup now and arrange tactics for him, it may not be effective."

Smart frowned.

"Then let him play the pick-and-roll with Curry!"

"Steph's containment and passing ability are fine. The Rockets will definitely focus on Curry, and Murphy will naturally have an easy shot."

Larry Riley immediately stated the research results of the past few days.

After hearing this, Smart had an obvious expression of enlightenment, but quickly concealed his excitement.

"I know that too... The point is, we can't let them play pick-and-roll every round, right?"

Smart said.

"Don't worry about that."

"The protagonist of this deal is Curry. We let Murphy start and play for half the game, and then replace him and don't let him play again."

"When the Rockets have doubts, we will say that Murphy has just recovered from injury, and it is fine if there is a playing time limit."

Larry Riley continued.

"Okay, then I'll arrange it, don't worry."

Smart said sternly.

"Excuse me!"

"This game is very important, and it even matters whether we can rise again."

"So... please be sure to take precautions!"

Larry Riley exhorted.

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

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Larry Riley was humbly begging the coach. On the Rockets side, Shen Fei was warmly welcomed by the Rockets as soon as he entered the training hall.

The status of Asian youths in the team is beyond the description of a simple "general manager".

For young people like Shuhao, George, and Lowry, Shen Fei is Bole.

And players like McGrady, Yao Ming, and Roy who have received treatment for Asian youths even regard him as a benefactor.

Helping an athlete recover from a devastating injury can hardly be described as re-parenting.

And the head coach - Mark Jackson, was also invited by Shen Feihui.

The two trust each other and cooperate closely.

After Shen Fei arrived, he watched the whole training quietly on the sidelines.

After all the projects were over and the players went home, he found Mark Jackson.

"Tomorrow's game, the Warriors will put Curry and a guy named Troy Murphy in the starting lineup."

"Those two are going to get a lot of the ball and a lot of plays will be around them."

"I have only one request, and try my best to limit the performance of these two people."

Shen Fei said straight to the point.

"Manager, the two of them are the targets of our transaction, right?"

Mark Jackson guessed.

Before Shen Fei asked him to mention Lawson and Martin as starters to help them collect data, it is not difficult to guess now that they are restricting the opponent's trading chips.

"Yes."

"Tomorrow is mainly to limit Murphy's performance. This person is not good but has a high salary. If the Warriors want to dump him to us, they will definitely try to make him perform better."

Shen Fei analyzed.

"I have some impression of this man, he is a power forward, then I will simply let Blake (Griffin) rest tomorrow and let Tucker go up to meet him."

Mark Jackson said with a smile, the corners of his mouth raised in a sly arc.

Although Tucker is not as tall as Murphy, he has excellent defensive skills and is especially suitable for defending such weaker players.

"I'm only talking about the general direction and the specific arrangements. You are more professional, and you can decide for yourself."

Shen Fei said noncommittally.

October 11, Beijing time, Toyota Center Arena.

The second battle of the Huoyong War is coming as scheduled!

"Hello, viewers, welcome to watch the broadcast of NBA games brought to you by cctv-5."

"I'm Yu Jia!"

"I'm Yang Yi."

In the CCTV live broadcast room, two commentators opened as usual.

"Today brings you the Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors game!"

"Director Yang, can you briefly analyze this game for us?"

Yu Jia asked.

"Ok."

"In my opinion, there is not much suspense in this game."

"The Rockets are in full swing and are in full swing. But the Warriors have repeatedly lost in recent games and have fallen into the lottery zone."

"The Warriors want to win, unless their backcourt double guns-Curry and Ellis, all explode, and one person scores [-] to [-] points, then there may be a chance to be upset."

Yang Yi analyzed.

"That's true. The Rockets are far ahead in this game and have home court advantage. They do have a high probability of winning the game."

"Hey! I just got the starting lineups of both teams, and both teams have changed their formations today."

"For the Warriors, David Lee will not start today due to injury. But the news shows that he has not withdrawn from the game."

Yu Jia said in surprise.

"It may be a little injury, or a cold or something. It can still go, but the condition is not good."

Yang Yi explained.

Yu Jia nodded and continued: "For the Rockets, Tucker replaced Griffin as the starting power forward, and George and Lowry continued to miss due to injuries."

"This means that the Rockets have a thick bench. If you switch to an ordinary team and get injured three times in the first start, it will definitely be greatly affected."

"But look at the Rockets, the starters are still both offensive and defensive."

"This is the reason why they are the champions!"

Yang Yi sighed.

"Okay, now the game is about to start, let's hand the camera to the front!"

After all, Yu Jia waved his hand, and the screen changed, and he came to the Toyota Center Arena.
