Legendary basketball manager

"Hi, David, what do you want me to do?"

Shen Fei greeted with a smile.

"Shen, there is something I must tell you."

"Nike just gave me a death order, asking me not to award the MVP of this season to McGrady."

Stern said anxiously.

[? ? ? ]

Shen Fei was shocked when he heard it, there were too many pitfalls, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

"What's the reason?"

Shen Fei asked.

In his view, with McGrady's performance this season, it is impossible for MVP to stand aside others.

Compared with data, T-MAC is the leader in scoring, and various high-level data are also among the best, which can be called both quantity and quality.

Leading the team, the Rockets have 73 wins and 9 losses, just breaking the historical record, and there is no second team in the league.

And the selection of MVP is based on these two points?

"I have the same doubts. Phil Knight explained to me that McGrady's team is too strong. If he is replaced by other stars, he can achieve a similar level."

Stern explained.

Shen Fei laughed back angrily, what kind of logic is this.

"David, you should know that the Rockets couldn't even make the playoffs last season, right?"

"We can take off this season. The two most critical people are also the two core cores of the Rockets. They are Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming."

"Without their support, how can the newcomers I traded still win in the process of progress?"

Shen Fei asked back.

Nike's logic is like a hungry person eating buns.

He felt full when he finished the 8th bun, and he thought it was the 8th bun, and the first 7 buns were useless.

But in fact, it was the first two buns that made this person "alive" from hunger.

"Can I not understand this truth..."

"But, Shen, you also know that some of me...are in their hands."

"I can't do it either!"

Stern said helplessly.

Shen Fei smiled when he heard the words: "There is a way, and you will have a way in the future."

"What do you mean?"

Stern didn't know what was going on.

"I won't hide it anymore. I have already obtained your so-called handles by special means."

"In other words, what you should worry about now is not Nike exposing you, but...me."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

His tone was very calm, as if he was talking about a very normal thing.

After Stern heard it, his first reaction was that Shen Fei was joking.

But in the next moment, his whole body was in a trance.

[What he said couldn't be true? ]

Stern was shocked.

After all, with Shen Fei's style of handling things, it is impossible to make such a joke.

In addition, Shen Fei did say before that he would find a way to make Nike stop threatening him...

Stern didn't doubt that young Asians could do it, but he didn't expect him to do it so soon.

"In 1996, when the Chicago Bulls played against the Indiana Pacers, you, Nike, and Dale (gaming company) cooperated and bribed the referee to make the Bulls lose the game. In that game, you made a lot of money."

"1997 Playoffs..."

"Stop talking!"

Shen Fei was flipping through the materials in his hand, and when he came to the second point, Stern's mentality exploded.

This information, apart from himself and Nike, no one else knows.

Even the Dale Group, which they cooperated with at that time, has now disappeared into the dust of history.

This means that Shen Fei did get some "materials".

"I can assure you that these evidences are not archived by Nike, they are only in my hands."

Shen Fei said lightly.

"I...I see."

Stern sighed.

"Don't worry, I won't threaten you to do anything."

"On the contrary, I can still make you a few years before retirement, full of praise."

After the stick, Shen Fei immediately handed over another candy.

"So... what do you want from me?"

asked Stern.

"Nothing at the moment. As long as you can get everything to work properly."

"You know, things like MVP, although they don't directly affect the championship, are a great affirmation for the entire team and individual players."

"If Tracy deserves this MVP, I hope the league can award it normally."

Shen Fei said seriously.

The reason why he tried every means to get Stern's black material from Nike was not to be controlled by others.

As for whether these handles will have other uses in the future, Shen Fei is not clear.

"Okay, I promise you."

"I have only one request, that those things never come out."

Stern said quickly.

"Don't worry, as long as the rocket's interests are not maliciously damaged, I am naturally willing to live in peace with you."

"The Rockets need a level playing field for the next playoffs."

Shen Fei said.

"You mean... what kind of fairness?"

asked Stern.

"Referees are only concerned with the fairness of the game itself."

Shen Fei's answer was concise and clear.

"Okay, I see. Take it easy."

After all, Stern hung up the phone.

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

Once the matter was over, Shen Fei was in a good mood, sat back on the sofa, and continued to use his phone.

After the regular season ended last night, in addition to the dust on the major data lists, the East and West rankings were also confirmed.

This is a big deal.

Because the rankings are determined, the playoff matchups are naturally also determined.

Shen Fei opened it and took a look.

East first:

1. Miami Heat: 65 wins, 17 losses, winning percentage: 79.3%;

2. Chicago Bulls: 62 wins, 20 losses, winning percentage: 75.6%;

3. Atlanta Hawks: 56 wins, 26 losses, winning percentage: 68.3%;

4. New York Knicks: 52 wins, 30 losses, winning percentage: 63.4%;

5. Boston Celtics: 44 wins, 38 losses, winning percentage: 53.7%;

6. Orlando Magic: 42 wins, 40 losses, winning percentage: 51.2%;

7.费城76人：41胜，41负，胜率：50.0%；

8. Indiana Pacers: 37 wins, 45 losses, winning percentage: 45.1%;

Seeing this ranking and the winning percentages of each team, Shen Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart—the East is really weak...

Especially after the Celtics and Magic suddenly weakened, the only teams that can play in this Eastern Conference are the Heat and the Bulls!

[If there is no accident, the Heat broke into the finals. ]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

In the original time and space, the Bulls led by Rose couldn't beat the Heat.

Now that the Heat have removed a Bosh, plus Howard and Ray Allen, the strength is even stronger than before.

Even if Rose explodes every game, Shen Fei doesn't think the Bulls can beat the Heat in four games.

Look at the west again:

1. Houston Rockets: 73 wins, 9 losses, winning percentage: 89%;

2. Dallas Mavericks: 61 wins, 21 losses, winning percentage: 74.4%;

3. Los Angeles Lakers: 57 wins, 25 losses, winning percentage: 69.5%;

4. San Antonio Spurs: 57 wins, 25 losses, winning percentage: 69.5%;

5. Oklahoma City Thunder: 55 wins, 27 losses, winning percentage: 67.1%;

6. Denver Nuggets: 50 wins, 32 losses, winning percentage: 61.0%;

7. New Orleans Hornets: 46 wins, 36 losses, winning percentage: 56.1%;

8. Memphis Grizzlies: 46 wins, 36 losses, winning percentage: 56.1%.

Compared with the original time and space, the ranking of the west has also changed a lot.

The Rockets parachuted to the top of the list, and the Blazers fell out of the playoffs directly because of the loss of Roy.

Due to the change in mentality, the Mavericks' record is also much higher than that of the original time and space.

It is also worth mentioning the Lakers. Kobe got out of his knee injury because of the treatment at the beginning of the season, and the strength of the Lakers immediately improved by leaps and bounds.

"If it goes well, I will play the Grizzlies in the first round, the Thunder or Spurs in the second round, and the Mavericks or Lakers in the conference finals."

"Every round can't be taken lightly..."

Shen Fei looked at the ranking and muttered to himself.

Of course, he is very confident in the strength of the Rockets.

There will be a few days of rest in the next few days. Shen Fei decided to take advantage of this gap and use Owen's dribbling bag to let Jeremy Lin improve his strength!

With this in mind, he took out his phone again and dialed Shuhao's number.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Jeremy Lin was a little surprised to receive a call from Shen Fei.

"Well. I said before that you will be an important role for the Rockets in the future, do you remember?"

Shen Fei asked.

"Of course! This is my goal too!"

Jeremy Lin replied firmly.

"But you have to know that there are too many excellent players in our team. In the end, you have to use your strength to beat players competing for the same position in order to get playing time."

Shen Fei began to guide the topic.

"I understand that, Boss."

"For this reason, I work hard every day. If I can't reach the level of playing, whether it's on the bench or being swept out of the team, I have no complaints."

Jeremy Lin said seriously.

"Time waits for no one. While you are growing, your competitors are also getting stronger."

"But... I have a way to let you quickly improve your strength."

Shen Fei officially cut into the topic.

"Rapid promotion?"

Jeremy Lin froze for a moment, a little confused.

As a talented student who graduated from Harvard, he really didn't know any way to quickly improve his basketball level.

"Are you going to hire a good trainer, or a retired star to guide me?"

Shuhao guessed.

"No."

"These methods may help you, but in the final analysis, you need to use day-to-day training to transform what they teach into strength."

"And I'm talking about ramping up quickly."

Shen Fei said solemnly.

Now Shuhao was completely dumbfounded.

Seeing the silence on the other end of the phone, Shen Fei stopped hiding and said directly:

"Shuhao, you should have heard that there is a profound medical technique in Chinese medicine called the technique of enlightenment, right?"

"Not so long ago, my Shen family has a secret technique handed down from the ancestors, and it is this enlightened technique!"

[? ? ? ]

Shuhao was even more confused.

He does know the technique of enlightenment, but isn't that something in martial arts novels?

"I have indeed heard of it. But, Boss, you don't intend to use this to help me improve my strength, do you?"

Shuhao was puzzled.

As soon as Shen Fei heard it, he knew that he didn't believe it.

[This kid is not as easy to coax as Yi Jianlian...]

Shen Fei secretly thought in his heart, but he soon thought of an excuse.

"I know it's hard to believe, but I can prove that I didn't lie to you."

"Is your relationship with Ah Lian okay?"

Shen Fei asked suddenly.

"Well, I've chatted with him since he first joined the team, and we have a good relationship now."

Shuhao replied truthfully.

"Then do you find it strange why the UAE's shooting posture suddenly changed a few months ago, and it was not a fine-tuning, but a direct change of the way of exerting force."

Shen Fei guided.

Jeremy Lin was silent.

At that time, Yi Jianlian rested for a few days. When I saw him again, his entire shooting posture changed a lot!

Shu Hao also had doubts at that time, but Yi Jianlian explained to everyone that he began to adjust his posture since the offseason, so he struggled so much in the Wizards at the beginning of the season.

This statement, in fact, can not bear the scrutiny.

After all, during that period of the game, the UAE still used the original posture to shoot.

Practicing a new form and then continuing to use the old form during a competition...it doesn't make sense!

But since Yi Jianlian explained it that way, everyone had no choice but to accept it.

After all, there are a lot of geeks in the NBA. Perhaps the training habits of the UAE are so weird that you have to practice new moves well before abandoning old ones.

However, when Shen Fei brought up this matter again today, Shuhao inevitably had doubts in his heart.

"Actually, Ah Lian's new posture was practiced in one day, using the technique of enlightenment."

Shen Fei said seriously.

"You... are you serious?"

Shuhao still couldn't believe it.

But I have to say that with the example around him like Ah Lian, his heart has been shaken.

"Try it, anyway, no matter whether you succeed or not, there will be no loss."

"And I can guarantee that as long as you accept the enlightenment, your strength will immediately improve by leaps and bounds and reach the next level."

Shen Fei's voice was deep and magnetic.

It's like the whisper of a devil, which makes people's hearts flutter.

Shuhao still hesitated for a while.

But in the end, he thought of Curry, Lowry...

Shuhao knew that the talents of these two were higher than his, and no matter how hard he practiced, he would not be able to surpass any of them in a short time.

Unwilling to be outdone, the scholar finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I accept!"

"The technique of enlightenment needs to be performed at the turn of day and night in order to ensure the greatest probability of success."

"So, see you at the training hall at three o'clock tomorrow morning."

After talking about the time and place, Shen Fei smiled and hung up the phone.

After tomorrow, Jeremy Lin will become an All-Star guard, and the Rockets can go even further.

Next, it's the playoffs!

Shen Fei couldn't wait to see how far this Rockets team could go!

"Grizzlies... Can you still make waves without Tony Allen's perimeter gate?"

Shen Fei got up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the sky through the windows, his mind was already drifting to the upcoming playoffs.
