Legendary basketball manager

The next day, the Rockets' official Twitter was attacked by a large number of fans.

The reason for the fans' anger is not difficult to understand.

Stephenson captured the hearts of many lovers in just one game; and the other protagonist who was traded, Aaron Brooks is even the darling of Rockets fans.

The fans couldn't believe that Shen Fei actually traded two such young and capable players for one, Blake Griffin, who had only played less than half a game for more than a year.

The dissatisfaction of the fans did not stop at words, they also spontaneously organized protests.

A group of people came to the rocket's home stadium in a mighty way - in front of the Toyota Center Arena, pulled up the banner and shouted:

"Shen Fei dismisses get out of class."

Although this parade did not produce any substantial effect, it also reflected how difficult Shen Fei's current situation is.

In the early morning of the next day, Yao Ming posted a sentence on his personal Twitter: "Time will tell everything."

This sentence did not point directly at anyone, but the Rockets fans naturally knew that he was speaking for Shen Fei.

Many fans are persuading him:

"Dayao, don't ruin your fame in Rockets because of Shen Fei."

"Play well, and don't worry about other things, so as not to get into trouble."

Of course, there are also a few more rational fans who expressed different views:

"I personally think that this deal is still a good deal. Aaron Brooks is 25 years old this year, and he does have a lot of potential to tap, but his static physical fitness is too mediocre, and it is difficult to get on a bigger stage. "

"In contrast to Griffin, his talent is unquestionable. More than a year ago, he was the undisputed No. [-] talent! And his previous injury has fully recovered without leaving any sequelae."

"I believe that it won't be long before he will show what people expect!"

Just when the fans had different opinions, Shen Fei, who was at the center of the public opinion storm, was driving himself to the hotel where the Clippers were staying.

There is only one purpose of his trip - to pick up Griffin.

When Shen Fei arrived at the hotel entrance according to the agreed time, Griffin was limping out of the hotel.

His agent followed behind, helping Griffin carry the bags.

"Hey, Blake."

Shen Fei greeted with a smile.

"Hi, manager."

Griffin barely squeezed out a smiling face, and responded with a half-smile.

His displeasure was not aimed at Shen Fei.

But until now, Griffin has not been able to accept the fact that he was abandoned by the team.

Since being selected by the Clippers with the No. [-] pick last year, he has always had the ambition of Lingyun!

Even during his injury, Griffin always asked himself:

"Can I win a title for the Clippers?"

"Will I be the best player in the league?"

"Will I retire in Los Angeles? Will the Clippers retire my jersey after I retire?"

However, these questions that he had imagined countless times are meaningless now.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine when we get to the Rockets."

While speaking, Shen Fei stretched out his hand and patted Griffin's shoulder.

Griffin looked at the Asian youth in front of him who was as young as himself, with mixed feelings in his heart.

It is said that Shen Fei single-handedly promoted his deal.

And since the deal was concluded, Griffin has also heard a little about the arguments on social media.

To put it simply, Rockets fans now regard Shen Fei as a sinner through the ages.

[Is he the only one who can see my value? ]

Griffin was confused, he felt guilty for Shen Fei being blamed for him, but also angry for being belittled himself.

"I will work hard."

Griffin said softly.

"Ah."

Shen Fei nodded slightly.

Seeing that Griffin's eyes were flushed, he didn't say any more, and returned to the car.

Soon, Shen Fei and Griffin joined the Rockets in a private arena.

On the court, Mark Jackson took the lead, and the Rockets applauded and welcomed Griffin.

"How's the ankle injury?"

PJ-Tuck took a step forward and said with concern.

"It's nothing serious, and I can resume training after the swelling subsides."

Griffin responded.

The two don't even know each other.

They were opponents before, and the next step is to fight side by side and guard the Rockets' insiders together.

"Take a good rest and return to the team quickly."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

Griffin nodded gratefully.

At the same time, he silently vowed in his heart that he must play well in the future, make the Clippers regret it, and shut up those who underestimate him!

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

Two days later, the Rockets ushered in their second opponent in the summer league - the Washington Wizards.

One of the highlights of this game is that this year's No. [-] pick, John Wall, will usher in his career debut.

As for the Rockets, Paul George, who missed the first game due to injury, appeared on the starting list, which also attracted a lot of attention.

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

In this game, Mark Jackson withdrew Ismail Smith, who performed poorly in the previous game, to the bench, and Brother Hao served as the point guard.

George, who returned from injury, replaced Stephenson as small forward.

Soon after the opening, Jeremy Lin and Wall staged a racing show!

Rockets center-Jordan Hill hit the iron with a mid-range shot, Wall grabbed the rebound and advanced quickly.

His speed can only be described as lightning fast.

In less than three seconds, Wall went from his own half to the Rockets' penalty area.

On the way, he didn't do any fancy moves.

The speed alone attracted the exclamation of the fans at the scene.

"John (Wall)'s speed and explosiveness remind me of Rose, and I am very much looking forward to their head-to-head confrontation in the regular season!"

Collins, the host of the game and a commentator on TN.T Radio, said excitedly.

However, when Wall was about to collect the ball for a layup, a yellow-skinned figure loomed behind him.

It was Jeremy Lin!

He didn't know when, he had already caught up with Wall's pace, and he was bowing his waist at this moment, ready to block the shot!

"Oh my god, someone can keep up with Wall?! Who is he?!"

Collins was so excited that he forgot the name of Shuhao.

After all, Brother Hao is just a fledgling draft pick, so it's understandable that the host can't remember his name for a while.

But... 0.5 seconds later, Collins will never forget the name "Jeremy Lin"!

I saw Shuhao jumping up, sticking out a hand from behind Wall...

"Oh!"

The basketball was nailed hard to the backboard.

"woo..."

There was an uproar.

The Rockets players on the bench were either holding the back of their heads or covering their mouths, all with expressions of disbelief.

This scene is incredible!

Who would have thought that John Wall, the No. [-] pick known for his speed, would be nailed from behind by a yellow-skinned undrafted pick?

You know, the premise of completing the blocking is that you have to catch up with your opponent.

Although it is said that Wall is advancing with the ball, while Shu Hao is running without the ball, just now, the former took a few big steps first!

In this way, Wall was still caught up.

It can be seen that Jeremy Lin's speed is not inferior to this year's No. [-] scholar!

After completing the peg board, Brother Hao did not celebrate, but immediately controlled the ball and launched a counterattack.

Paul George, who had just returned to defense with him, quickly settled in the frontcourt and opened his hands for the ball.

With a flick of his wrist, Jeremy passed the ball accurately to George.

When the latter received the ball, he was two steps beyond the three-point line.

But George didn't hesitate, and shot immediately after receiving the ball.

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

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

3:0, the Rockets take the lead!

On the other side of the court, Wall was still complaining to the referee that Jeremy's block just now was actually an interference with the ball.

The referee ignored it.

This made Wall very frustrated.

But what he didn't know was that his nightmare today had just begun!
