Legendary basketball manager

Stern thought for a moment, then finally nodded.

"I promise you, the next selection will be fair and just."

"But other than that, I can't help you with anything else for now."

"I hope you can understand me. I have been under a lot of pressure to do this."

Stern said frankly.

Shen Fei smiled slightly.

All beginnings are hard.

Although Stern only agreed to a small request, Shen Fei believes that with the first cooperation, the follow-up will be much easier!

"The Rockets are going to be a dynasty."

"Under Armor will replace Nike in the future and become the most influential sports brand in the NBA."

"Cooperate with me, you will never suffer."

Shen Fei believed himself.

"Then wish us a happy cooperation."

As he spoke, Stern offered to extend his hand.

"Pleasant to work with."

The two shook hands.

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

As they spoke, the rookie game had already begun.

At this point, the game has reached the middle of the second quarter.

The second grade team temporarily leads with 70:55.

Among them, Curry's performance is the most eye-catching!

In the face of the No. [-] pick in the first grade, John Wall, he showed a terrifying offensive firepower.

After one and a half quarters, Curry made 11 of 9 shots, including 6 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 24 points!

On the other hand, John Wall, who is against him.

This extremely talented No. [-] pick did not show his physical advantages when facing Curry.

His several singles attempts did not get very good results.

Later, Wall even became suspicious:

[Didn't it mean that Curry's defense is not good? ]

[But in this fight... Not to mention his defense is very good, at least he has an average level! ]

In fact, it is not difficult to understand Wall's confusion.

The current Curry is still slightly thinner.

Coupled with his handsome appearance, it is indeed easy for people to think that he is a colander on the defensive end.

In the original time and space, Curry's defense did not improve significantly until he gained muscle.

But now Mengshen's defensive ability is acceptable, partly because of the recovery of his ankle, and partly because of the addition of [Spiritual Time Room].

Coupled with his good defensive awareness, strong defensive will, and a pair of fast players who are good at stealing...

Based on the above points, Curry is more than enough to defend a Wall who has just entered the league!

However, his performance still surprised some viewers.

For example, the Big Three of the Heat in the stands at this time.

"This rookie is a bit scary, with sharp offense and hard defense."

Howard sighed.

"Stephen is a player who looks thin but is actually very tough. His current level is enough to serve as the third man in the Rockets."

Wade touched his chin with one hand and said seriously.

"With our current perimeter configuration, no one can limit him at all."

"But if...I mean, if Ray Allen can join us, he would be a good fit to guard Curry."

James said.

Howard and Wade nodded when they heard the words.

Although Ray Allen is an old man in his thirties, his body is well maintained.

Compared with Curry, he has an advantage in size, and he is not much weaker in speed.

"I feel that Ray Allen can consume Curry very well, whether it is offense or defense!"

Howard said excitedly.

"It depends on whether the Celtics can be beautiful and help us."

James said with a smile.

"It's really magical to say it... In the past, the few of us were the opponents who fought hard in the Eastern Conference."

"But now, we're brought together because of the Rockets."

Wade sighed.

"We have to win this year."

"Look at this game, the Rockets have a total of 4 people participating."

"Players like Curry, Griffin, George, may evolve to the next level in one summer!"

"If there is no way to win the championship this year, it will only become more and more difficult in the future."

James said solemnly.

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

Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, there are only 3 minutes left before the end of the rookie game.

In this game, the second-year players were clearly superior.

With one year of NBA experience, they are much better than the first-year team in terms of experience and skills.

After three quarters, the second grade team has already led by as many as 20 points!

If it wasn't for the All-Star Game, everyone didn't dare to kill, I'm afraid the game would have ended earlier!

3 minutes time flies...

When the red light on the timer was on, the score was fixed at 153:142. The second-year team beat the first-year team by 11 points!

Curry eventually scored a game-high 45 points.

The team won and took the lead in scoring. This kind of performance also made the mvp of the rookie game lose suspense!

Stern, who was still chatting with Shen Fei just now, has come to the center of the court.

He took the trophy from the staff, handed it to Curry, and said, "Young man, congratulations."

Mengshen couldn't stop smiling at this moment.

He held up the trophy high, and while enjoying the warm cheers from the audience, he kept looking for Shen Fei's figure.

Soon, Curry found Shen Fei standing in the box.

After the eyes of the two met, Shen Fei stretched out his hands and gave Curry a thumbs up.

Curry stuck out his right index finger and responded to his boss with a smile.

The host at the scene saw this and asked:

"Stephen, you are currently the biggest winner in the All-Star Game."

"In just two days, you have won the three-point champion and the mvp of the rookie game. At this moment, who do you want to thank the most?"

Curry took the microphone and replied without hesitation:

"I have a lot of people to thank. The coaches who supported me, my teammates, the father who trained with me since childhood, the mother who loved me, and my stupid brother."

"But now, the person I want to thank the most is the owner of our team—Shen Fei!"

"I have great respect for the Warriors. They have always taken care of me. But if there is no Shen Fei, I am still troubled by ankle injuries."

"Shen is not only a great team manager, company owner, but also an excellent sports medicine expert!"

"It was he who taught me a new way of exerting strength and hired the best trainer for me. That's how I am healthy now!"

Curry's tone was sincere, and at the end, his eyes were even a little moist.

If you're not an athlete, it might be hard to understand the horrors of a "habitual sprain."

What it brings is not only physical pain, but also great mental pressure!

At the beginning of the season, Curry sprained his ankle twice in a row.

After that, he was uneasy in almost every game!

Curry doesn't know when he will sprain his ankle because of a normal movement.

He became anxious about gains and losses, and did not dare to do some technical moves with all his strength...

Over time, Curry even felt that the happiness brought to him by basketball was diminishing day by day!

Fortunately, Shen Fei appeared in time when he was discouraged.

With a wave of his hand, the Asian youth traded Curry to the Rockets using Ty Lawson, who was extremely popular at the time, as a bargaining chip.

Since then, Curry's career has bounced back.

In just two months, he not only became the starting point guard of the league leaders, but also was selected as an All-Star and released his first pair of signature sneakers.

Curry, who is standing on the podium now, recalls the experience during this period, and always feels like a lifetime away!

The development of things is so wonderful that it is indescribable.

But he knew that all of this was thanks to Shen Fei!

Thinking of this, Curry continued: "I want to repay him. So in the next game, I will devote myself wholeheartedly. As long as I can win the championship for the Rockets this season, I am willing to give everything!"

As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into warm applause again.

Curry looked up and saw that Fei Shen was also applauding for him, smiling brighter and brighter...

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

One day later, the highlight of the All-Star Weekend - the All-Star Game, arrived as scheduled!

Shen Fei arrived at the Staples Arena early.

It's a pity that Ajiali couldn't get away because of family affairs, so she couldn't come to watch the game with him.

Such an important game, CCTV will naturally not miss it.

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

"I'm Yu Jia!"

"I'm Yang Yi."

In the broadcast room, two commentators started.

"Today I bring you the much-anticipated All-Star Game!"

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

Yu Jia asked.

"Okay, let's take a look at the starters in the East and West first!"

"The starters in the West are: McGrady, Kobe, Durant, Anthony, Yao Ming."

"The starters in the East are: Rose, Wade, James, Stoudemire, Howard."

Yang Yi introduced.

"Judging from the lineup, the playing styles of the two teams can be described as very different!"

Yu Jia commented.

"Yes! The five players in the West all have the ability to shoot."

"And the four players on the perimeter are all forwards and guards with a gorgeous style of play, skill and talent. Watching them play together is definitely a kind of enjoyment!"

Yang Yi said with a smile.

"Moreover, Tracy McGrady and Kobe fought side by side. I didn't dare to imagine this scene half a year ago..."

Yu Jia sighed.

"Looking at the East, these five people can be said to be the ultimate in physical talent, right?"

"The Rose of the Windy City is always invincible; the Flash is unparalleled in speed."

"LeBron, king of the world! Stoudemire is the king."

"There's also this magical beast, Juli Wushuang!"

"They are all people who are chased by God and put food into their mouths until they are full!"

Yang Yi shook his head and said with emotion.

"One more detail..."

"Three of those five are with the Heat."

"In the West, apart from the starting Yao-Mac combination, Curry and Griffin are also Rockets players on the bench."

Yu Jia added.

"So, today's game can also be seen as a contest between the Heat and the Rockets!"

"They have played against each other twice in the regular season, and today may be their last battle before the finals!"

Yang Yi said excitedly.

"Okay, after talking so much, I believe everyone is looking forward to this powerful dialogue!"

"Now the game is about to start, let's hand over the camera to the front!"

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

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

With the referee throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!

Yao Ming and Howard took off at the same time.

In the end, the little giant came out on top and won the scrimmage.

Western troops attack first!

McGrady passed the half court with the ball and ushered in Rose's defense.

As soon as t-mac saw that it was Ross defending him, he immediately became interested.

This is his biggest competitor for this year's mvp!

McGrady made a decisive decision and decided to play a singles first.

He dribbled the ball to the left at a 45-degree angle, and then faced Rose with a dazzling crotch dribble!

McGrady's movements are extremely stretched, with an indescribable beauty.

Even though it was just an ordinary dribbling move, the audience couldn't help but gasp in amazement when he did it.

"Crack, crack, crack... crack!"

McGrady suddenly increased his dribbling strength, and at the same time took a stride, and passed Rose in an instant!

"This first step is really too fast!"

Yu Jia commented in a timely manner.

After completing the pass, t-mac drove straight in and killed the basket.

In the penalty area, Warcraft's knees were slightly bent, obviously ready to defend.

Seeing the league's block leader lying in front of him, McGrady was not timid at all.

He kicked his left foot on the ground with all his strength, soared into the air, and flew directly towards Howard!

The monster took off vertically, and reached the highest point in an instant with its super fast bullet speed!

For a moment, the two were in the air like a pair of dragons playing with pearls.

In the blink of an eye, McGrady suddenly retracted his stomach and flew past Howard in the air!

Then, he passed the ball from his right hand to his left, and with a flick of his wrist...

After the ball left his fingertips, it spun and hit the backboard, bounced and flew to the basket.

"Shu~"

2:0, the Western team took the lead!

After the goal, McGrady raised his left hand and stared at it for a long time.

Obviously, he was very satisfied with his layup.

Offensive and defensive transition, Rose advanced with the ball at high speed.

When McGrady saw this posture, he knew that the other party wanted to respond.

He immediately opened his arms and stepped forward, ready to defend.

After passing halftime, Rose didn't mean to slow down at all, but accelerated towards McGrady.

t-mac frowned slightly, not knowing what the other party wanted.

Seeing that the two were about to collide, Rose suddenly changed direction and passed McGrady directly.

During his entire change of direction, there was no deceleration.

When changing direction, Rose's sneakers rubbed against the floor violently, and even made a "hissing" sound!

He was like a blue bullet (the Eastern team wore blue jerseys), directly penetrated McGrady's defense, and "shot" towards the Western penalty area!

Coincidentally, the side where Rose broke through is Anthony's defensive area.

Gua Ge struggled to take off, but to no avail.

Rose made a "big shift" layup and sent the ball into the net.

answer. ball!

At 2:2, the two sides tied.

"nice shot!"

"The first round of the duel between Rose and McGrady is like the 'fastest first step' and the fastest 'change of direction'!"

Yang Yi commented excitedly.

And McGrady, who was passed over, smiled and shook his head.

If Ross doesn't slow down and change direction, he really can't prevent it.

"Young people's knees are fine..."

Kobe passing by said with emotion.

"We're going to be tired today."

"Ross and Wade, one is better than the other..."

Maddie said jokingly.

"It's okay." Kobe naturally couldn't admit it: "Do you want to hit another one?"

"That is required."

Maddie replied with a smile.

Immediately, he received a free throw from Dayao and dribbled through half court alone.

And the rest of the West team all moved to the other side, completely handing over the left side of the field to McGrady and Rose!
