Legendary basketball manager

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Fei came to the office early to deal with the team's affairs.

In fact, with his current status, when and how long he goes to work every day depends entirely on his mood.

The reason why Shen Fei came so early was purely out of interest.

He really likes the job of team manager!

The assistant made a cup of coffee for Shen Fei.

Shen Fei was working relaxedly while sipping coffee.

Not long after, a phone call came in.

"Boss, the stock market is open."

"Guess what? Nike's stock price fell by more than 3%, and its market value evaporated by 13 billion! Hahaha~"

On the other end of the phone, Lampard, the marketing manager of Under Armour, said gloatingly.

You can feel his happiness through the phone.

"This is indeed good news. What is the specific reason?"

Shen Fei asked.

He doesn't often observe the stock market, but in his view, Nike's stock price has been quite stable.

In Shen Fei's memory, the only time their stock price plummeted was in the 19 years of the original time and space.

In February of that year, the fat tiger Zion Williamson wore George's signature shoe-pg2, and played in the game between North Carolina State University and Duke University.

In the NCAA focus game broadcast live in the United States, Fat Tiger played for 30 seconds, and then stepped on the Nike shoes under his feet in an attack, and was injured.

This scene surprised countless fans all over the world.

When the stock market opened the next day, Nike's stock price fell by 1%, and its market value evaporated by about 13 billion US dollars!

Today, their shares are down more than 3%.

Although the market value fell by about 13 billion US dollars, in 2011, this was already an astronomical figure!

"I did some research... The main problem is the failure of kd3."

"Nike has spent a lot of effort and money to spread kd3 advertisements all over the United States. Whether it is social media, traditional TV media, or various commercial streets, their advertisements can be seen."

"But after such a big publicity, the fans' expectations have been infinitely raised! But the quality of kd3 is not even as good as other shoes released by Nike this year."

"The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Now public opinion is saying that Nike stores are bullying customers and have no sincerity."

Lampard analyzed.

"That is to say, Nike's word of mouth has a crisis in the audience."

Shen Fei concluded.

"Yes! However, this is only one aspect. There is another very important reason, which is the rise of our Under Armour."

"During the All-Star period, tn.t radio station conducted a survey on Twitter to select the favorite sports brand."

"This survey is conducted every year, and it has been going on for many years, and the number of participants is very large. In the past few years, Nike has occupied the top spot with an absolute advantage."

"But this time, we actually overtook them with a slight advantage!"

Lampard said proudly.

Although nike has been disappointing recently, their status as the industry leader has so far been undisputed.

The "young" Under Armour, being able to win in such a competition, has a very high gold content!

"Well, yes, I took a look. Our stock price has risen by 5%, and the market value has directly increased by 1 million."

Shen Fei said while looking at the computer.

It's only been two months since he took over Under Armor. Such achievements are enough to make the group's former boss feel ashamed!

"Boss, I think if we can maintain this momentum, maybe we really have a chance to surpass Nike and become the world's number one sports brand!"

"Now we are in the beautiful country, and we can already compete with Nike."

"But because of you, Yao and Yi, Under Armor has won an unprecedented Chinese market. This is something that Nike can't match no matter how hard it works!"

Lampard said excitedly.

Shen Fei has no objection to this statement.

Under Armour's stock price trend is so good today, it must be related to the big sales of sc1 and pg1 in the Chinese market.

Investors in the society are optimistic about the follow-up development of Under Armour, so they will naturally buy stocks, and the stock price will naturally rise.

Then Shen Fei chatted with Lampard for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

After another half an hour, Shen Fei finished the work in hand, and then drove to the rocket's training hall.

Today, the team will usher in a newcomer - Sun Yue.

Sun Dasheng just signed a two-way contract with the Rockets.

And the reason why Shen Fei didn't directly give a guarantee contract was mainly because he hoped that Sun Yue would be motivated to train hard in the next period of time.

After all, the Rockets are fully staffed this season, and he is not needed at all.

But next season, Sun Yue is bound to get a lot of opportunities like other Rockets Chinese players.

The problem is, with Sun Yue's current strength, even if he is given a powerful skill with [Random Star Skill Pack], he may still not have the level to compete in the NBA!

Therefore, it is very necessary to improve Sun Yue's basic strength through training!

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

When Shen Fei walked into the arena, the generals of the Rockets were sweating profusely on the court training.

Among them, there is the figure of Sun Yue.

The players were so absorbed in training that they didn't even notice that Shen Fei entered the arena.

The Asian youth quietly walked to the coach's bench on the sidelines and communicated with Mark Jackson.

"How is Sun doing?"

Shen Fei asked straight to the point.

Mark Jackson smiled when he heard the words, neither nodded nor shook his head.

Shen Fei and Fei are human beings, so they naturally know what the other party means.

"Sun is part of my plans for the future."

"Maybe his current strength can't even guard the water dispenser, but next season, he will make great progress."

Shen Fei said lightly.

Mark Jackson was taken aback when he heard this.

He had seen Sun Yue's scouting report.

Sun Yue, who was born in 1985, is now 25 years old and is indeed still growing up.

But it is very rare for a player of this age to have a substantial increase in goals in a short period of time!

However, since Shen Fei said these words, Mark Jackson firmly chose to believe them.

After all, Shen Fei has never let him down in the past half a year of cooperation.

"Then Sun will train with the first team, and only transfer him when there are games in the Development League."

Shen Fei arranged.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Mark Jackson nodded.

"By the way, boss, there are only two games left, and we can make history! You must come and see the home game in three days' time."

Mark Jackson said with a smile.

Tomorrow, the Rockets will go away to challenge the Suns. Once they win, they will be able to tie the longest winning streak in the history of the Lakers (33 consecutive victories).

And the home game three days later will be the key battle to determine whether they can become the number one in history!

"That game was against the Spurs, right?"

"From what I know of Popovich, he's going to pull out all the stops that day."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

"Well, the Spurs themselves are pretty good."

"Coupled with the 'champion heart' of Popovich and GDP, they definitely don't want to be the background board."

"That game, the Spurs are going to give everything they have to stop us."

Mark Jackson said with concern.

"You don't need to put too much pressure on it, just play normally."

"To break a record, to use an old saying in China to describe it... it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to heaven to make things happen."

"It's best to win. If you lose, it's just an ordinary regular season."

Shen Fei said calmly.

Mark Jackson couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"what happened?"

Shen Fei was puzzled.

"Boss, according to what you said, the matter of winning the championship is also planned by people, and it is up to God to make things happen."

"Even if we are the first in the regular season record, we may not be able to win the championship. There are many favorite teams that have been "black eight" in history."

Mark Jackson said with a smile.

"It's different."

"This year's champion must belong to the Rockets. In probability, this is a certain event."

Shen Fei said lightly.

Mark Jackson seems to have anticipated the "double standard" of his boss.

After hearing Shen Fei's overbearing boss speak, he just smiled and nodded.

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

After the rocket generals finished their current training program, they stopped to replenish water and rest.

Only then did they discover Shen Fei who was watching the battle.

"Hey, boss!"

Lowry was the first to say hello.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but his smile is still warm and innocent.

Shen Fei nodded in response.

To be honest, he also feels that Lowry is a bit inferior in the team now.

Because of [Spiritual Time Room], Xiaogangpao has actually reached the peak of the combination of body and technology!

Shen Fei said with certainty that Lowry can become a starter in most teams, and may even become one of the cornerstones of the team.

If he wasn't in the Rockets, he might be in the All-Star Game a few days ago!

But the reality is that Lowry not only became Curry's substitute, but also part of his rotation time will be divided by Jeremy Lin.

An All-Star player at his peak, but can only get about 20 minutes of playing time...

It is actually not easy for Lowry to maintain a positive attitude in this situation.

Shen Fei has already decided in his heart that when the season is over, if Lowry applies to leave the team, he will try his best to let Xiaogangpao go to his favorite team!

After Lowry, everyone also welcomed Shen Fei's arrival.

Among them, there is the newly joined Sun Yue!

Dasheng was wearing a No. 99 jersey, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his breathing was still somewhat short of breath.

It could be seen that the training just now had consumed him a lot.

However, Shen Fei had observed before that during the training process, Sun Yue always had an unstoppable smile on his face.

Obviously, he is very happy to join the Rockets.

"Is the training intensity of the team still used?"

Shen Fei asked casually.

"The intensity is a bit high, but I can stick to it!"

Sun Yue replied immediately.

"Well, that's good, improve yourself, and you will have opportunities to perform in the future."

Shen Fei said seriously.

As a rare tall point guard among Huaxia players, Sun Yue also has a good ability to block shots, so he must be a key training target.

In next year's Olympic Games, Shen Fei also plans to make him the outside gate of China.

Of course, Sun Yue still needs a long period of training before he can do this.

After chatting with Sun Yue, Shen Fei gave the players another wave of blood, encouraging them to hit the winning streak.

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

One day later, on February 2th, Beijing time, Phoenix.

The game between the Rockets and the Suns came as scheduled.

Since the opponent is only a mid-range team in the West, Mark Jackson once again boldly rested the main players.

In this game, the combination of Yao and Mai did not appear in the starting list.

The Rockets sent out the main lineup of Curry, Roy, George, Griffin, and Oden.

The starting lineup for the Suns is: Nash, Carter, Hill, Channing Frye and Robin Lopez.

One of the highlights of this game is the duel between Curry and Nash, the old and new point guards!

After the game started, the Suns at home showed their determination not to be the background board.

As soon as he came up, Nash, as a point guard, continued to use pick-and-rolls to attack the Rockets' inside line.

A mid-range shot, a layup, an assist...

Zonda used 4 points and 1 assist to help the Suns make a perfect start of 6:0!

However, Curry, who was facing him, quickly stood up and responded.

The Rockets No. 30 first took advantage of the running position and got a chance to shoot a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

He raised the knife and scored the first point for the team!

After 1 minute, Curry made a comeback.

This time, he played a pick-and-roll with Oden in the high post.

The Great set up a screen on Curry's right-hand side.

Nash is relatively thin, and his ability to squeeze through the pick-and-roll is not strong.

In order to prevent being easily thrown away, he usually moves ahead of time to seize a favorable position.

For example, now that Nash is slightly sideways, one foot has been stuck on the right side of Oden's instep.

That way, when Curry goes around the screen, he has a good chance of staying on defense.

However, is Curry so easy to predict on the offensive end?

I saw that he suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back while he was on the move, and actually played a "false screen" tactic with Oden!

Nash thought something was wrong, quickly adjusted his pace, and rushed towards Curry.

But in a panic, he accidentally tripped Oden's foot, lost his center of gravity, and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Curry immediately collected the ball and made another three-pointer before Robin Lopez made up for it.

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

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

6: 6.

Curry used two three-pointers to instantly tie the score!

At this time, the Suns fans at the scene didn't know that the only period of their team's lead in the audience was over...

The next game, the Rockets showed why they are the league leader.

Roy, George, and Griffin successively played wonderful fast breaks.

Oden is also on the defensive end, showing his dominance!

Of course, the best performer is still Curry.

In the matchup with the two-time mvp-Steve Nash, he was not weak at all, and he played at a very high level.

In contrast to the Suns, only Nash is struggling to support the whole team.

But the firepower of the Son of the Wind was offset by Curry.

And the rest of the Suns couldn't match the strength of the Rockets.

In this way, the trend of the game is not difficult to guess.

The Rockets played more and more smoothly. After the first quarter of the game, they have already led by as much as 12 points!

Subsequent games were uneventful.

In the end, the Rockets beat the Suns 126:110, winning a 33-game winning streak.

This battle also allowed them to officially tie the record for the longest winning streak in the history of the Lakers!

After the game, Mark Jackson said excitedly in the locker room:

"Boys, we are one win away from making history!!!"

"Beat the Spurs, we will rewrite the record!!!"
