Legendary basketball manager

"Come on, now the difference between us and the Celtics is the draft."

"They think that Ray Allen is not old, and he can maintain a good state for at least 2-3 years, so they asked us for two first-round picks, and they are unprotected first-round picks."

"But Pat (Riley) does not accept such a plan, and it is still in a stalemate."

Spoel replied.

"This is definitely not allowed."

"We got Dwight, but we only sent two first-round picks."

"Ray does still have a lot of oil, but the Celtics really are the lions who have opened their mouths."

Wade shook his head and said.

Howard was on the sidelines, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

The Heat were able to get him with such a small bargaining chip, and Howard himself made a lot of effort.

For one thing, he's been playing in Orlando since his rookie season.

For a long time, Howard has been conscientious and has helped the team grow from the Eastern Conference to a strong team that reached the finals step by step.

The Magic recognize his efforts, and that's why they're willing to let him go.

Second, Howard's willingness to leave the team is very strong.

The Rockets are the strongest in the league, so he can't see the hope of winning the championship in the Magic.

Therefore, Howard made it clear to the Magic management that he is willing to fulfill the rest of the contract, but will not renew it.

The Magic executives are no fools, either.

They know that with the team's current configuration, it is impossible to compete with strong teams such as the Rockets and Heat in the short term.

Forcing Howard to stay is nothing more than selling tickets for two more years.

When Warcraft's contract expires and he leaves as a free agent, the Magic will return to pre-liberation overnight!

It's better to make a move in advance, at least in exchange for some valuable assets.

Combining the above two points, the Heat can trade Howard so easily.

But now, they want to repeat the same trick and get Ray Allen at an extremely low price, and the Celtics will naturally not agree.

After all, the Celtics just won the championship two years ago, and they are not in a hurry to win now.

Even if there is no hope of winning the championship this season because of Garnett's reimbursement, the Celtics have enough patience to wait for the next chance to compete for the championship.

Moreover, the Celtics are not worried about Ray Allen leaving after the contract expires.

The rookie they selected this year, Avery Bradley, has excellent offense and defense and a tough style of play. He can completely replace Jun Zilei in the future.

To sum up, without giving the Celtics enough chips, it is impossible for them to release them!

This point, Howard can see, James and Wade are naturally very clear.

"We don't have time to wait! There are less than two weeks left before the trade deadline."

James spoke.

time does not wait.

After the trade deadline, it will be difficult to reinforce!

The Celtics seized this point and dared to ask for prices.

"The last time the Heat won the championship, they paid a huge price. It was only after Shaq (O'Neal) was traded from the Lakers that they succeeded."

"Now our configuration is already very strong, the last piece of the puzzle is missing!"

"Coach, I hope you can communicate with the management."

"Sometimes... grasping the present is more important than pinning hope on the illusory future!"

James said seriously.

Wade and Howard nodded silently when they heard the words.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Pat early tomorrow morning."

"I believe that he will also support us."

"Anyway, he came up with our slogan for this season."

Spo said with a smile.

The three giants were stunned for a moment when they heard the words, and then they looked at each other and smiled.

The Heat's slogan this season is - allin!

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

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

As the fans left the field one after another, the Toyota Center Arena finally quieted down.

Shen Fei walked into the locker room of the home team with the main force.

Originally, he wanted to appear suddenly and surprise the players.

But who knows who leaked the news, the moment Shen Fei stepped into the room, all kinds of champagne were sprayed towards him!

The players surrounded the young Asians with laughter and celebrated happily.

Shen Fei is not the kind of person who carries it.

He is also very happy that the team can make history.

After receiving a bottle of champagne from Mark Jackson, Shen Fei and his teammates "sprayed" each other.

The celebration lasted for about 5 minutes before Shen Fei raised his hand to ask everyone to pause.

"There are a few words I want to say to everyone."

"First, today's victory is very important! So... $100 million in bonuses per person! It will be credited to everyone's cards within this week."

"second..."

"Roar!!!"

As soon as Shen Fei finished speaking, the scene was full of excited howls.

He smiled, and after the players finished cheering, he continued:

"Second, I customized a watch for everyone, I hope you like it."

After finishing speaking, Shen Fei beckoned, and the assistant at the side handed out the watches to the players present one by one.

The players picked up the gift box and took a look...

Good guy, it turned out to be Richard Mille's diamond watch!

Every NBA player is either rich or expensive, so he naturally knows that any watch of this brand is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"Boss, aren't you too generous?!"

"After all this, 2000 million yuan will go out!"

Lowry said in surprise.

"Boss, is your family short of bodyguards? I think I can still have a part-time job."

Tony Allen joked.

"Manager, you are spending too much money. In fact, it's all you need to do."

The "honest" Dayao said.

He said this to his teammates.

Shen Fei smiled slightly, and said lightly: "You are worth it."

As soon as this remark came out, the locker room burst into warm applause again.

"Finally...tonight, you are the creators of history. I hope that in the future you will also be the creators of the Rocket Dynasty."

"The glory that belongs to us has just begun!"

"Keep working hard, this season's championship will definitely belong to Houston!"

Said, Shen Fei stretched out his right fist.

This occasion is too suitable for chicken blood.

Naturally, Shen Fei would not let go of this good opportunity to empower employees!

The rocket generals responded immediately and raised their right hands together.

"let''s gorockets!"

Mark Jackson yelled first.

"let''s gorockets!!!"

The players responded in unison.

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

At the same time, on major social media, discussions about the Rockets are in full swing.

The first to bear the brunt is naturally the Rockets fans:

"Hot honey for 10 years, come here uninvited! Today I asked for a vacation, and I stayed in front of the TV just to watch the rocket break the record. This vacation is not in vain!"

"Witness history! Today, we have become the holders of the longest winning streak in league history. In the future, we will hit the Bulls' regular season winning record!"

"I just want to ask - still! Yes! Who!"

"Who can stop our Rockets? I looked at the schedule. The next few opponents are not strong. It seems that the winning streak will continue for a long time! It can't be the Bobcats who will end us, hahaha?"

......

Fans, you say a word to me, expressing the joy in your heart to your heart's content.

And ESPN's well-known commentator-a-Smith, posted a tweet.

The tweet read:

"When I was preparing the game materials yesterday, I accidentally turned over the Rockets' team list last year"

"I was surprised to find that since Shen Fei took over as the general manager of the Rockets, only Yao Ming remained in the team, and the rest of the players, whether they were starters or substitutes, were cleared and left the team."

"In other words, this season's rocket can be said to be a brand new fleet built by Shen Fei!"

"Based on my shallow knowledge, in the long history of the NBA, there is no other team manager who can achieve such great feats!"

Once this tweet was sent out, it quickly attracted a lot of comments from fans.

Whether you are a Rockets fan or not, the comment area is full of praise for Shen Fei.

It can be said that this young Asian boss has already conquered the hearts of fans in the entire beautiful country.

What's more interesting is that the next morning, Shen Fei received another call from Under Armour's marketing manager - Lampard.

Lampard said excitedly that after the Rockets broke the record, Curry and George's signature shoes ushered in another wave of purchases.

As soon as the U.S. stock market opened this morning, Under Armor's share price also rose by 3% again.

You know, today's stock market can be described as "green grassland".

The existence of Under Armor can be said to be a little red among the green bushes.

"Boss, do you think we will become the No. [-] sports brand in the NBA?"

Lampard asked at the end of the call.

"Just this year!"

Shen Fei replied confidently.

Two days later, the unstoppable Rockets ushered in their next opponent, the Memphis Grizzlies, at the Toyota Center.

Before the game, the Grizzlies coach, Lionel Hollins, clearly expressed his intention to win.

There are two reasons.

One is that the Rockets are creating new history. No team wants to be the background board, and so is the Grizzlies.

The second is that now that the season is halfway through, the Grizzlies are ranked eighth in the West.

But the ninth Suns are only one game behind them.

Every next game is about the Grizzlies' playoff spot.

Therefore, based on emotion and reason, they all have a reason to win tonight!

As for the Rockets, the players naturally hope to continue to expand their winning streak.

A big battle is about to start!

However, the process of the game was not as intense as expected.

As soon as the Rockets came up, they showed what a king's division is!

It was Yao Ming who took the lead.

Facing the defense of the 25-year-old bullfighting country center Marc Gasol, Dayao hit a strong shot at the basket, a mid-range shot and a fadeaway.

Subsequently, McGrady and Curry also showed their offensive talents one after another.

First, t-mac received a pass at the top of the arc and made a three-pointer against Rudy Gay.

Then, Curry suddenly cast a cold arrow in the counterattack and hit a super long three-pointer.

In just 3 minutes, the Rockets hit a 10:0 shock wave!

This fantastic start directly caused the Grizzlies coach to call a timeout.

But the rocket's momentum was not interrupted by the timeout.

After the game restarted, George completed the steal on the defensive end.

Then, he carried the ball across half court and passed the ball back to Curry.

Mengshen immediately fought with Griffin at a 45-degree angle on the left.

With the deterrence of shooting, Curry attracted the attention of two Grizzlies players.

And Griffin took the opportunity to cut inside suddenly.

Seeing this, Curry flicked his wrist, and sent the ball to Griffin with a precise ground pass.

The next moment, the white monster came out of the cage!

"bang!"

A shocking flat-frame dunk helped the Rockets continue to expand their lead.

And this strong start also directly hit the confidence of the Grizzlies generals.

In the following games, they also tried to counterattack, but they didn't get very good results.

As time went by, the point difference between the two teams continued to increase.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets' lead had reached 25 points!

And it was Curry's magical operation that completely defeated the Grizzlies.

In the last minute, the Grizzlies' offensive round.

Rudy Gay singles George, pulls up for a jumper in the corner...

"duang!"

The ball hit the side of the rim and bounced out.

Ben Wallace jams Randolph behind him, and Curry has quick eyes and quick hands, and accepts the rebound.

Then he has to pick up speed and launch a counterattack.

Seeing this, Conley hurried forward, trying to block Curry's way.

After all, the Grizzlies have already been hit by the Rockets' fast break in this game, and they have a shadow in their hearts.

But Curry's speed was very fast, and Conley didn't stop him immediately,

Seeing that the opponent was about to walk away, Conley pulled Curry from behind in a hurry.

Rocket No. 30 suddenly staggered and lost its center of gravity.

But he didn't stop the action, but at the same time as the referee whistled, he threw the ball with one hand with his right hand...

This is a shot from the Rockets' halfcourt!

However, due to the long distance, neither the fans nor the Grizzlies players paid much attention.

They didn't realize that something was wrong until the basketball crossed a weird arc and got closer and closer to the basket!

"No way..."

Conley muttered to himself, already having an ominous premonition in his heart.

The audience at the scene also raised their hands one after another, hoping for a miracle to happen!

......

......

The basketball seems to have been flying in the air for a century.

"Bang~"

"Shu~"

Finally, the ball hit the backboard squarely and bounced into the net!

"wow~"

"omg, this goal can be scored????"

"This is skyfucker (Ku Ritian)!!!"

The fans were instantly excited.

Curry scored a three-pointer and added a penalty!

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Mengshen walked to the free throw line and easily made an extra penalty.

The point difference between the two teams instantly reached 29 points, approaching the 30-point mark!

But Curry's show isn't over yet...

Offensive and defensive transition, Conley stopped after holding the ball through the half court, ready to play the final attack.

He waited until the last 6 seconds before starting to act.

But what Conley didn't expect was that the direction of his breakthrough was predicted in advance by Curry and directly blocked.

Seeing that time was running out, Conley was about to hand the ball to Guy next to him, and let the latter, who was bigger, try the last shot.

But his passing intention was too obvious, and Curry once again predicted success.

I saw Mengshen made a horizontal hand, intercepted the ball, and rushed towards the Grizzlies half court.

At this point, the number on the timer is only two seconds left.

Conley was worried that Curry would perform a super long three-pointer again, so he did not give up defense.

He rushed to the back of Rocket No. 30 with a stride, stretched out his right hand, and took the basketball in the latter's hand.

"Boom..."

During the steal attempt, Conley bumped his shoulder into Curry.

The latter loses its center of gravity immediately...
