Legendary basketball manager

Originally, Yi Jianlian was unable to participate in the match between the starter and the substitute.

But at Shen Fei's request, Mark Jackson sought Tucker's opinion and won a substitute team seat for UAE.

This also means that Yi Jianlian will face off against the white monster, Blake Griffin, in the confrontation match.

The lineups of the two sides are:

Starting team: Curry, McGrady, George, Griffin, Yao Ming;

Substitutes: Lowry, Roy, Danny Green, Yi Jianlian, Oden.

It can be seen that whether it is the starting team or the substitute team, the average age of the players is not high.

However, such a young team is firmly occupying the top position in the league at this time, and No.2 has a difference in grade!

Shen Fei looked at the 10 people on the field, feeling very happy.

"Mark, based on these people, how likely are we to build a rocket dynasty?"

The Asian youth asked casually.

"I think we're all contenders for the championship in the next 10 years."

"Curry, George, Griffin, Green, Oden...they're all in their early twenties, and they're already at this level."

"90%! I think we have a [-]% chance of creating a rocket dynasty!"

Mark Jackson gave his answer confidently.

In fact, he has always been pragmatic and low-key style.

Even such an "honest man" gave [-]% of the answers, so you can know that he has absolute confidence in the players under him!

"But... I have special plans for next season."

After much deliberation, Shen Fei felt that it was necessary to explain the situation to Mark Jackson in advance.

It just so happened that Yi Jianlian performed well today, so the Asian youth planned to get to know the coach.

Of course, Shen Fei didn't intend to discuss with Mark Jackson.

He just wanted to tell the truth.

If the opponent cannot accept his plan, Shen Fei can only part ways with Mark Jackson after the end of the season with a generous liquidated damages, and find a new coach who is willing to cooperate.

"You said, boss, do you have any special arrangements?"

Mark Jackson asked, and the little book was already in his hand at some point.

"I have a selfish heart."

"12 is the year of the Olympics. I hope that the Huaxia men's basketball team will achieve good results in the Olympics. Therefore, Yi Jianlian is just the beginning. During the offseason next year, I may introduce other Huaxia players."

"Next season, Yao, Jeremy, Yi, and the newly joined Huaxia players will all have enough chances to play."

Shen Fei said frankly.

Since taking over the Rockets, he has mentioned selfishness twice.

One time was now, and the other time was in June, when Shen Fei overcame the crowd and signed McGrady who could play without the ball.

Mark Jackson was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't expect his boss to plan this way.

"Then...will we still compete for the championship next year? Or dormant for a season?"

Mark Jackson asked.

"It is natural to continue to compete for the championship."

"Although it is necessary to increase the tactical status of Huaxia players, what I can guarantee is that they will all show the strength that matches their playing time."

"There may be an adaptation period, but at the end of the day, they're all going to be as good as Yao."

Shen Fei vowed.

Mark Jackson nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, do you support my plan?"

Shen Fei threw out "Send Proposition".

"Of course!"

"It's a very interesting challenge, and I'd love to try it."

Mark Jackson said seriously.

"Tired of playing the full-level number?"

Shen Fei was a little surprised that the other party agreed so readily, and joked.

"Full-level number? What kind of full-level number?"

"Boss, in fact, I also know that some players in the current team will definitely leave during the offseason."

"They are so young and so good, and they definitely want to get more opportunities to show themselves."

"Next season, apart from these rookies, I'm afraid there won't be a few players left."

"I'm looking forward to what will happen next year!"

Mark Jackson said seriously.

Seeing his sincere appearance, Shen Fei didn't seem to be pretending, so he reached out and patted Mark Jackson on the shoulder, and said:

"Okay, old horse, then we will have a happy cooperation!"

"If you play well next season, I think you can try to be the coach of the Huaxia men's basketball team."

Mark Jackson was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked up at Fei Shen, wanting to make sure if the other party was joking.

The NBA does not prohibit team coaches from taking part-time jobs in the national team.

In the original time and space, the Spurs coach Popovich served as the head coach of the beautiful country for a long time.

And Mark Jackson, as a coach who has just come out for a year, is actually very interested in coaching the national team.

"Can you give it a try?"

Shen Fei said with a smile, while stretching out his right hand.

"You can try it!"

Mark Jackson laughed loudly, and excitedly clapped hands with Shen Fei.

The two chatted for a few more words, and they didn't turn their attention to the court until the players on the field changed their clothes and went on the field.

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

With the assistant coach (part-time referee) throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!

Yao Ming and Oden took off together, the former took a shallow jump, while the latter used all his strength...

Substitutes go first!

Lowry held the ball through half court and came to the top of the arc to organize the offense.

After some conduction, the ball came to Oden.

Dadi hit back from the low post and finally threw the ball with a small hook.

But Yao Ming, with his height and long arms, interfered with Oden's sight very well.

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out of the frame.

Yi Jianlian struggled to take off, trying to take off the offensive rebound.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the light above his head dimmed.

Looking up, it was Griffin who was 5 cm shorter than him!

The white monster soared into the air and took off the rebound on Yi Di's head...

Pick melons on your brain!

After grabbing the rebound, Griffin immediately handed the ball to Curry beside him, and then began to follow up at full speed.

The counterattack of the starting team was like mercury pouring down the ground, attacking the substitute team at halftime.

In the end, Curry made a no-look-pass and passed the ball back to Griffin who followed up in the middle.

The next moment, the latter flew into the sky like a foot on a spring...

"bang!"

A powerful tomahawk dunk helped the starting team to take the lead.

And it wasn't until Griffin dunked and landed that Yi Jianlian was long overdue.

"The gap in physical talent is still a bit obvious..."

On the sidelines, Mark Jackson sighed.

"Yeah. But there aren't many players in the league who are physically gifted better than Griffin."

"It's no match for him, no shame."

Shen Fei said lightly.

He clearly remembers that Pau Gasol of the Lakers in his previous life was repeatedly reduced to the background board for Griffin's violent dunks.

But so what?When it comes to the international arena, Gasol is still the better one.

The game continues.

Lowry calls for a pick-and-roll at a 45-degree angle on the left, and Yi Jianlian rushes to the game.

After taking it apart, Ah Lian immediately bounced out, landed in the bottom corner, and opened his hands for the ball.

It's a pity that Lowry didn't notice that Yi Jianlian was vacant.

After he took a step to the free throw line, he made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot...

Strike it!

Yao Ming protected the rebound, and the starting team launched a counterattack again.

This time, Curry chose to shoot a cold arrow from outside the three-point line...

bingo!

5:0, the starting team continued to lead.

In the transition between offense and defense, Roy stepped forward, rushed to the basket and made a layup.

5: 2!

Looking back, McGrady made a three-pointer from the outside... also scored!

8: 2!

Then, the two teams came and went, each scored a goal, but the starting team always maintained the lead and gradually expanded its advantage.

But Yi Jianlian never got a chance to make a call, and kept running back and forth on the court.

It's not that his teammates isolated him, but that Yi Jianlian's running position is not exquisite, and Lowry's vision is only average.

The two reasons worked together, which led to the UAE's mediocrity on the court.

Mark Jackson looked at the performance of the United Arab Emirates and shook his head unconsciously on the sidelines.

Shen Fei remained calm.

After all, Yi Jianlian has only joined the team not long ago, and he didn't have a chemical reaction with his teammates, so he couldn't understand it.

All you have to do now is be patient.

After all, Yi Jianlian is also a person with "one skill", and sooner or later he will shine!

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

The 10-minute confrontation soon came to an end.

At this time, the starting team led by 32 points at 25:7.

In the last 2 minutes, it was time for the substitute team to fight hard!

"Next, let's try more outside shots, or we won't be able to catch up."

Roy said between serve.

Lowry nodded, indicating that he understood.

He turned his head and glanced at Yi Jianlian who was not far away, and he had already decided in his heart that he would take the initiative to create opportunities for him in a while.

After all, the "three-point contest runner-up" is in the team, so it can't be wasted!

It is still a 45-degree angle on the left, and it is still the pick-and-roll of the point guard and power forward.

This time, Lowry looked back at the moon and successfully threw the ball into Yi Jianlian's hands.

At the moment when A Lian scored the ball, Griffin rushed towards him with all his might.

[Hey, why am I not nervous at all? ]

Yi Jianlian expressed doubts in his heart while making his shooting gestures.

Then, he retracted the hand raised in mid-air, and then took a step to the right.

"Good shot! The reaction was very calm!"

Mark Jackson on the sidelines couldn't help but praise.

After completely shaking Griffin into the air, Yi Jianlian slightly adjusted his center of gravity before taking the shot calmly...

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at high speed, drawing a rainbow-like arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

At 32:28, the score difference was only 4 points, and the substitute team saw the hope of a comeback!

After scoring the goal, Lowry shook his fist excitedly, and trot all the way to Ah Lian to give him a high-five to celebrate.

Griffin, who flew out of the field, was a little embarrassed, and quickly raised his hand to signal to his teammates that the ball was his problem.

However, the bench team hadn't been happy for a long time. George received Curry's fast-serving baseline ball and went inside for a dunk.

At 34:28, the point difference was opened again.

After the transition between offense and defense, Griffin became more guarded against Yi Jianlian, and began to follow Yi Jianlian every step of the way.

In this attack, the substitute team handed the ball to Roy, who was most confident.

Facing t-mac's defense, Huang Mamba showed excellent skills.

He suddenly accelerated after a continuous cross dribble. After McGrady moved laterally, Roy paused suddenly, and then accelerated again.

This change in rhythm directly caused McGrady to be "nailed" in place, and Roy took advantage of the opportunity to break into the basket.

The two insiders of the starting team immediately shrank to protect the penalty area.

At this time, Yi Jianlian suddenly ran back and came to the bottom corner on the right.

Roy watched all directions, flicked his wrist, and passed the ball immediately.

Yi Jianlian didn't hesitate after the ball, and hit a three-pointer again!

At 34:31, the substitute team was only 3 points behind!

This means that if the next goal is defended, they will have a chance to tie the score!

The UAE, who scored two consecutive three-pointers, received warm applause from his teammates off the field.

He nodded shyly to his teammates to express his thanks.

However, the main team is ultimately superior in strength.

In the next round, McGrady relied on his terrifying first step and passed Roy directly.

After rushing to the basket, t-mac faced Oden's help defense and used a pull-bar layup like a "big shift in the universe".Widen the gap again.

Looking back, George judged Lowry's passing route, intercepted his pass to the UAE, and completely killed the game.

At this point, the game came to an end.

Off the field, with a satisfied smile on his face, Shen Fei said to Mark Jackson beside him: "Next, we can properly give Yi Jianlian some playing time."

Although the substitute team lost this time, Yi Jianlian's performance was still very impressive.

Especially the three-pointer after flying Griffin, reminded Shen Fei of the ball that Wang Zhizhi flew Garnett back then.

Shen Fei believed that with just this three-pointer, Ah Lian would have the capital to gain a foothold on the field!

"I'll make arrangements!"

Mark Jackson nodded and said.
