Legendary basketball manager

Two days later, the Rockets returned home to face the Eastern Conference powerhouse -- the Orlando Magic.

Shen Fei came to the Toyota Center Arena in person, ready to watch the game.

He came to the exclusive VIP box early, waiting for the start of the game.

It is worth mentioning that after becoming the boss, Shen Fei's perspective on things has also undergone some subtle changes.

For example, in the past, when he heard the live DJ shout: "Welcome everyone to the Toyota Center Arena to watch the game", there will be no waves in his heart.

Because at that time, Shen Fei was only the manager of the team.

All his attention is on improving the competitiveness of the team.

Time has passed, Shen Fei is now the absolute owner of Team Rocket.

When he heard dj's introduction again, he suddenly felt weird...

A team owned by Huaxia, the home court is actually the name of a Sun Countryman!

Although this is a problem left over from history, Shen Fei still feels uncomfortable.

"Can the arena be renamed?"

"In the history of nba, it seems that very few owners would change the name of the arena..."

Shen Fei muttered to himself.

After thinking about it, he suddenly came up with a bold idea - [How about building a new arena? ]

Of course, building an arena takes a lot of money and effort!

Shen Fei didn't have the time yet to seriously think about this matter.

However, he has already kept this matter in his heart.

In the future, when the team's situation is stable, Shen Fei will start to deal with it!

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

While he was dreaming, the players on both sides had finished warming up and walked to the center of the field to prepare for the start of the match.

It is worth mentioning that Dwight Howard, the magic leader who has always been known for his optimism and love to smile, has a dark face and a serious expression today.

There were two reasons for his bad mood.

One is that the Magic did not perform well this season, and their record suffered a serious Waterloo!

Aspiring to compete for the championship, they are currently only ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference.

Such a record is far below Howard's expectations!

Moreover, Vince Carter, the "half man and half god" that the Magic spent a lot of money on, has not had a chemical reaction with his teammates this season after a season of adaptation.

He has good statistics on the surface, but he didn't actually help the Magic too much.

Today, neither Magic fans nor players can avoid a problem-after losing Turkoglu, they are no longer the favorites for the championship!

The second reason is the recent trade rumors about Howard.

Recently, many media have revealed that the Heat intend to trade Howard with Chris Bosh, one of the Big Three.

If this rumor appeared before the start of the season, everyone would just laugh it off and never take it seriously.

But now, with the sudden rise of the Rockets, the Magic's championship window seems to have been completely closed!

In this case, selling core players in exchange for more future assets seems to be a good choice.

Of course, this is from the perspective of the team management to think about the problem.

In the eyes of fans, this is undoubtedly a kind of betrayal!

Warcraft, which was once "loved by everyone", is also at the Magic's home court recently, and it is the first time that it feels the boos of the home team fans.

Howard is very wronged!

You didn't do anything, and you became the target of public criticism!

Now, Warcraft just wants to prove itself with a hearty victory!

Even if, what he will face today is his nemesis since his career, the little giant——Yao Ming!

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

With the referee throwing the ball high, the battle is about to start!

Howard took off vigorously and unexpectedly won the scrimmage with Yao Ming.

Magic first strike!

As soon as they came up, they put on a posture that the mourning soldiers would win.

Facing his cousin McGrady, Carter opened the scoring for the Magic with a mid-range shot.

In the transition between offense and defense, Howard showed his World of Warcraft style on the defensive end.

When George broke into the basket and was about to make a layup, he turned out and slapped the ball away!

After completing the block, Howard still had a serious expression, his eyes full of angry flames.

Shen Fei in the VIP box saw this scene and smiled slightly.

He knew that this game would not be that simple!

The Rockets serve from the baseline.

With the help of a screen, Curry threw off the defense of Magic point guard Nelson and "shot" from outside the three-point line.

bingo!

Curryfromdowntown (Curry hit a three-pointer)!

3:2, the Rockets overtook the score.

After finally delivering a hot pot, Howard couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when his opponent made a three-pointer in the next second.

He buried his head and ran towards the Rockets' half court without saying a word, ready to attack.

Knowing that the defense was not good, Nelson reached out and wanted to give Howard a high-five as an apology.

Unexpectedly, the always easy-going Warcraft ignored his hand and walked past him.

Nelson withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

Once upon a time, they were very close teammates, but they have become strangers now.

In fact, World of Warcraft is not having a temper with his teammates.

It's just that Curry's three-pointer just hit him so hard that he didn't see his teammates' outstretched hands.

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

After changing sides, Howard asked for the ball from the low post and challenged Yao Ming.

It can also be seen from this offensive choice that Warcraft is now anxious.

You know, Yao Ming is taller and stronger than him, and it is hard to imagine how difficult it is to play hard in the low position!

Nelson hesitated, but passed the ball anyway.

Howard received the ball and immediately turned into a face-up offense.

I saw him sinking his center of gravity to the left, making a breakthrough, and then making a cross step, changing to the right and breaking through.

Yao Ming was a little surprised by the decisiveness of Warcraft's attack.

Moreover, Howard's fake action just now was very realistic, and he successfully deceived Dayao.

Yao Ming's center of gravity shifted to the left, and when he found out that he had been cheated, he quickly shifted to the right to make up for it.

Unexpectedly, Howard suddenly turned around while walking.

This time, Yao Ming was completely wiped out.

The next moment, the monster came out...

"bang!"

Howard dunked the ball into the basket with a crisp one-handed tomahawk.

"Roar!!!"

After scoring the goal, Howard looked up to the sky and screamed, venting his unhappiness.

In addition to anger, there was also a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Obviously, the success of this challenge to "Natural Enemies" greatly boosted the confidence of Warcraft!

At this moment, Shen Fei, who was sitting comfortably in the VIP box, showed a rare expression of surprise.

[Howard in this time and space... has the ball increased? ]

Warcraft has always been famous for its explosive talents.

But his rough technique has always been a stumbling block preventing him from going further.

Too much reliance on talent is also an important reason why Howard is always deflated when he meets Yao Ming.

But in the round just now, Warcraft showed off a set of fantastic footsteps under the basket, directly shaking Yao Ming away!

"If the attack just now wasn't a flash in the pan... Howard and Yao Ming will be able to explode each other in the future."

Shen Fei murmured.

Moreover, if Howard can interact with Yao Ming on both offensive and defensive ends, then his role on the court is bound to be higher than that of Yao Ming.

After all, the defense ability of the peak Warcraft ranks among the top three in NBA history!

Then, Shen Fei suddenly remembered the previous trade rumor about the Heat.

If the "upgraded version" of Warcraft joins them, the Heat's strength is bound to rise to another level!

"If you want to trade, the Heat must use Bosh as the core bargaining chip..."

"James Wade Howard, such a Big Three is definitely the only physical talent in history."

Shen Fei thought to himself.

If the Heat really complete this robbery-style transaction, they will undoubtedly replace the Mavericks led by Nowitzki and become the biggest opponent of the Rockets to win the championship this season!

"Interesting, let's see."

Shen Fei has never been afraid of powerful opponents.

Even if the Heat deviate from the original historical track and become a stronger team, the Rockets will fight confidently!

At that time, the healthy Yao-Mai combination, the growing new generation-Curry, George, Griffin, and the gangsters on the bench...

Such a Rockets team, Shen Fei doesn't think they will be worse than any other team!

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

While Shen Fei was thinking for a moment, the two teams were playing like a raging fire.

The Rockets are in full bloom, and under the leadership of Howard, the Magic have successfully operated a "one-star four-shot" system.

This unique system is the biggest reliance for the Magic to reach the finals two years ago!

In the first confrontation between the two teams this season, they failed to operate this system because of Yao Ming's restrictions on Howard.

But today, Warcraft broke free from the shackles and made great strides forward, successfully gaining an advantage in the matchup with Dayao.

The "one-star four-shot" system has also been able to operate smoothly!

After the first quarter, the two sides battled to a 32 tie.

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

Intersection break, Rockets bench.

Yao Ming panted heavily, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

In the first quarter, both he and Howard played the full 12 minutes.

For a 2 meter big center, this must be a lot of consumption!

And Howard is younger than him and has a better physical foundation than Yao Ming.

Therefore, by the end of the first quarter, Warcraft had already taken a clear advantage.

"Are you okay, Yao?"

Curry asked with concern.

Yao Ming shook his head, and said helplessly, "Dwight's ball has gone up, and I can't hold him down."

"You've done a great job."

"Let's take a rest first, don't get tired."

Mark - Jackson said comfortingly, then set his sights on Oden.

"I come!"

Oden volunteered, and as he spoke, he took off his long sleeves to reveal his No. 52 jersey.

"The Magic desperately need a victory now, and Howard may grit his teeth and continue playing."

"But he has been fighting Yao Ming for a whole quarter, so it must be a lot of consumption."

"After you go up, fight him physically as much as possible, and continue to consume his energy."

"But on one premise...don't get hurt, Greg!"

Mark Jackson said solemnly.

"I understand, coach, don't worry."

Oden nodded seriously.

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

The inter-section break ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court one after another.

The Rockets replaced a number of substitutes.

The Magic, as Mark Jackson expected, still kept Howard on the court.

As soon as Oden stepped onto the court, there was a burst of cheers.

Rockets fans stood up one after another, giving their applause to the injury-plagued big man.

Oden was a little flattered, and quickly raised his hand to respond to the fans.

Then, he ran all the way to Howard's side.

Looking at the monster in front of him, Oden couldn't help thinking that before the draft, he was always compared with Howard.

At that time, Auden was known as a genius who met once in 50 years, and his self-confidence was naturally bursting.

"I'll be a better center than Howard!"

This was the answer in his heart at that time.

Everyone knows what happened afterwards.

Now, Oden finally has the opportunity to compete with Howard, which makes him extremely excited!
