Legendary basketball manager

Two days later, the Rockets returned to Houston to face the Portland Trail Blazers.

Shen Fei also arrived in the exclusive box early in the morning, ready to watch the battle.

At present, the Rockets have achieved 12 consecutive victories, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

Moreover, since the last time he exchanged the [Holy Light Healing] card for Oden, Shen Fei has accumulated another 80 reputation points.

In other words, if he wins two more games, he will be able to purchase [The Dead Wood Comes Spring] to help Daben return to the top.

This matter is very important, and it is also one of the reasons why Shen Fei specially came here to watch the battle today.

In addition, Asian youths also want to see if the alliance headed by Stern will restrain its targeting of the Rockets after the last "bright card" attack.

[Don't make trouble, let the Rockets build a dynasty smoothly, and the NBA can also rely on the Chinese market to earn a little more. ]

[If you continue to target, then I still have the means to punish you...]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

Of course, Asian youths also know very well that standing behind Stern is the huge Nike Group.

Otherwise, from Stern's standpoint, he has no reason to suppress the Rockets.

The rise of the Rockets does no harm to the NBA.

The energy of the Chinese market is enough to make the NBA's influence in the world to a higher level.

Stern is well aware of this.

Back then, he used a few rolls of video tapes to successfully open up the Chinese market.

Without him, the time for Huaxia fans to know Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Bird Bird may have been delayed for a long time.

But Nike is different. They want to become the existence of sports oligarchs.

In a league that has been basically controlled like the NBA, it is impossible for Nike to allow other brands to rise.

Even Adidas has fallen behind in the competition, and its influence in the NBA is far less than before!

However, Under Armor was born at this time, with a clear goal of becoming the strongest brand.

This obviously hit Nike's bottom line.

Shen Fei knew that to untie the bell, one had to tie it.

For the Rockets to get justice, they need to fix Nike's problems.

But the best way to beat Nike is for Under Armor to replace it.

And this takes time!

Under Armor needs sufficient time to complete explosive growth.

And before Under Armor "stands up", what Shen Fei can do is to kill all the conspiracies of Nike in the cradle, so as not to let it affect the Rockets' great cause of winning the championship.

The previous press conference was equivalent to the first fire.

After that day, many fans have realized that Nike is suspected of manipulating the NBA.

"Come on, let's see what else you can do..."

Shen Fei muttered to himself, with a disdainful arc on the corner of his mouth.

With this in mind, the Asian youth stopped thinking about it and turned his attention to the court again.

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

Speaking of which, the two sides in this game have a lot of fetters.

In the middle of the season, Shen Fei used Courtney Lee and Chuck Hayes to get Roy and Oden from the Trail Blazers.

It now appears that the Trail Blazers are completely taken advantage of.

Their general manager, oh no, it should be the former general manager-Kevin Pritchard, who has been nailed to the pillar of shame in history by Trail Blazers fans!

Roy and Oden, two extremely talented players inside and outside, were originally the hope of the Trail Blazers' revival.

But Pritchard actually treated them as "garbage" and swept them out.

Only a mediocre guy like Courtney Lee, and the short blue-collar guy in the Blazers' rotation -- Chuck Hayes.

What angered Blazers fans the most was that Pritchard was still smug in an interview after that trade ended.

His original words were: "If you don't break, you can't build. A qualified businessman must know how to stop losses in time. Some fans may not agree with my approach, but they will definitely understand me in the future!"

This interview was dug up by "Luoyang Shovel" before today's game, and it also dramatically rushed into the trending searches on Twitter.

The comments below the video can be roughly divided into two categories-the annoyance and heartbreak of Blazers fans, and the gloating of fans of other teams.

"Without any patience, even if we wait another half a season, everything will be different!"

"Our ultimate lineup should have been Roy, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Oden, all of which were ruined by Pritchard!"

"Damn it, why are our Blazers so weak? Are we really cursed? Why are Oden and Roy healthy as soon as they arrive at the Rockets?!"

......

"I think with Roy and Oden as the cornerstone of the team, supplemented by some good role players, this team will be a strong team for many years to come, and may even compete for the championship."

"That's Oden and Roy! If they both reach their peak, will there be an 'OK' combination effect? ​​It's hard to imagine that the Blazers gave them to the Rockets together."

"It's okay to send two treasure players, look what they got...Courtney Lee and Hayes! My God, this deal can't be successful without a forced transaction in 2K!"

......

The discussion among the fans became more and more intense, and in the end there were a lot of accusations and abuse against Pritchard.

The person involved couldn't bear it anymore and simply took a video in response.

"First, I want to apologize to the community of Blazers fans at large."

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault! I sent Greg and Brandon away, and I didn't let them shine in the city of tearing."

"But what I want to say is... If you knew all the circumstances and were in the position I was in at the time, it would be very difficult for you to refuse Shen Fei's proposal."

"On the one hand, Courtney Lee played well at the time, like a rising star. Now he is lost in Portland. Not only did I not expect it, but many people must have also not expected it."

"On the other hand, Roy and Oden were both experiencing career-threatening injuries at that time. The conclusion I got from the team doctor is that it is difficult for them to recover!"

"All developments have backfired. I have taken the blame and resigned, and the Blazers' team doctor has also undergone a major change. I hope everyone will be merciful."

Pritchard spoke sincerely, which to a certain extent appeases the anger in the hearts of the fans.

The veterinarian made a mistake, and Shen Fei had the courage to take over these two "hot potatoes". The Rockets deserved to have two generals.

However, the emotions of the fans eventually affected the Blazers players.

They all want to pass a victory to prove that the team is still competitive without Roy and Oden.

Before the game, Aldridge, the core of the Blazers, said bluntly that he was very happy to see Roy return to the game, but the victory will be taken away by himself.

Courtney Lee, who was transferred from the Rockets, also said that his previous performance did not meet expectations, and he hoped that this game could become a turning point.

The head coach of the Blazers - Mike Millan looked at the generals who were full of fighting spirit, and felt proud in his heart.

In the pre-match interview, he confidently said: "The Blazers will show the terrifying firepower of the tearing city and end the Rockets' winning streak!"

In such an atmosphere, the competition officially begins!
