Legendary basketball manager

Just as Durant and Westbrook walked to the technical stage and waited to play, McGrady continued his performance.

He received a pass from Curry from outside the three-point line, put on a three-threat posture, and then used two consecutive tentative steps, which scared Sefolosha back half a step.

Once the move is successful, McGrady resolutely fights on the spot...

"Shu~"

Again!

44:43, the Rockets are only one point behind!

Thunder coach Brooks was distraught when he saw this.

He couldn't wait for the "dead ball" to let the two of Dewey play again, so he directly invoked a timeout.

After the timeout ended, Durant, Westbrook, and Bacca appeared together.

The Rockets used Griffin to replace Tucker, who played a lot of time.

The game restarts.

Thunder attack.

As soon as Westbrook came up, he drove at full speed and hit the Rockets penalty area.

Yao Ming and Griffin shrink the basket at the same time, ready to protect the basket.

In the blink of an eye, Westbrook flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Cook on the outside.

The latter made a decisive three-pointer after receiving the ball...

The basketball crossed a wonderful arc and went straight into the net!

47: 43.

The Thunder tenaciously held on to the lead!

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Yao Ming began to show low post dominance.

When he received the pass, he turned around and successfully got rid of Perkins' defense.

Then Dayao used his iconic, slightly receding mid-range shot to steadily send the ball into the basket.

During the whole process, Yao Ming did not have any physical contact with Perkins, which can be described as four or two thousand pounds!

47: 45.

In the next round, Yao Ming repeated his old trick.

The same position, the same action, but this time Dayao did not shoot immediately, but flew Perkins with a fake action.

Then Dayao took a step forward and easily dunked.

47: 47.

The two teams are back on the same starting line!

"Beautiful! Yao Ming's dream move is too silky!"

Su Qun couldn't help sighing.

"The Thunder are in trouble... After the Rockets' starters come back, can they still withstand the offensive? I think it's embarrassing!"

Yang Jian commented.

At this time, Harden, who was recovering from the bench, frowned.

He tried his best, fulfilled his promise, and led the team to hold the lead.

I thought that after Westbrook and Durant came back, the initiative would be firmly in the hands of the Thunder, but seeing the aggressive appearance of the Rockets' main players, Harden was at a loss.

In the minutes that followed, the two sides reached a stalemate.

Playing until the last 2 minutes of the second quarter, the point difference between the two teams remained within one round.

At this time, Harden, who had rested for a few minutes, went into battle again.

Thunder three young masters all play!

The Rockets replaced McGrady and Roy with George and Jeremy Lin.

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

Thunder attack.

Harden broke into the basket with the help of a screen, and Europe made a layup.

57: 55.

But before the Thunder generals had time to be happy, the Rockets had almost hit the bottom line and hit a counterattack.

Jeremy Lin received a pass from Curry and strode towards the Thunder's hinterland.

And behind him, Westbrook also tried his best to catch up.

But after chasing and chasing, Thunder 0 found that something was wrong.

[Why do I seem to be... unable to catch up with him? ! ]

Westbrook was extremely surprised.

But the fact is before his eyes, the yellow skin in front of him is running faster than him!

Jeremy Lin took the lead and dunked easily.

57:57.

The two sides drew again!

In the next two rounds, the offenses of both teams ended in failure.

In the last 20 seconds, Curry held the ball and launched the final attack of this quarter.

Facing Westbrook's defense, Mengshen dribbled the ball like a butterfly piercing flowers, and successfully mobilized the turtle's center of gravity.

After losing his position, Westbrook was eager to make up for it, so he strode forward, and at the same time stretched out his right hand, trying to break the basketball in Curry's hand directly.

Who knows, that was a flaw that Curry deliberately exposed.

Just before Westbrook was about to touch the basketball, Curry dribbled the ball behind his back and easily completed a pass, and then shot a three-pointer!

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

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

The goal light is on.

57: 60!

After a long absence, the Rockets once again became the leading side and returned to the locker room with a 3-point advantage.

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

During the intermission, in the vip box on the stands, Shen Fei ushered in a guest - David Stern.

The nba president, who has a lot to do every day, didn't arrive at the Toyota Center Arena until the end of the two quarters.

"It's been many years, and it's the first time I've seen this arena fully occupied."

After taking his seat, Stern looked around the arena and said with emotion.

"This situation has been going on for a long time."

"The Rockets have an mvp like McGrady and supernovas like Curry, George, and Griffin. How could it not be a box office hit?"

Shen Fei believed himself.

"Speaking of mvp, how about it, am I doing well?"

Stern said with a smile.

His smile was half sly and half flattering.

As the saying goes, the older a person is, the less courageous he is.

Stern was actually afraid of Shen Fei.

He was blackmailed by Nike for so long because of black material, but Shen Fei said to help him solve it, and he really solved the problem within a few days...

This made Stern have to admire Shen Fei's methods, but also fear him.

"You made a fair judgment."

Shen Fei answered irrelevant questions.

Whether it is from the team record or personal performance, it is a matter of course for McGrady to become the mvp!

Stern said it as if McGrady got the award because of his care.

Of course, Shen Fei also understood that the other party just wanted to claim credit and had no other intentions.

Stern smiled awkwardly when he heard the words, and changed the subject: "Is there anything you need to come to me today?"

"In this year's draft, I hope that more Chinese players will be included in the draft list."

"If there are Chinese players who are under the age of 22 applying for draft qualifications, I hope you can pass it."

Shen Fei said directly.

There is an age requirement for international players to participate in the NBA draft.

If the player is under the age of 22 in the draft year, he needs to apply to the NBA official.

Players can only qualify for the draft if they pass the approval of the league president.

If a player is over 22 years old, he can automatically qualify for the draft without applying.

Of course, being selected is another matter.

In Shen Fei's mind, there are several Chinese players with good potential, but they are all under 22 years old.

If they are allowed to stay in the cba for another year, the speed of progress will inevitably be very slow.

But if they can qualify for the draft, Shen Fei can take them into his pocket and train them in the Rockets.

The speed of progress of these young people is bound to be countless times faster!

Moreover, as long as they can participate in the draft, the Rockets don't even need to pay the draft picks, they can get them by signing and losing the draft!

Currently, Shen Fei has two clear names in mind.

One is Zhou Peng, who was born in 89. He will only be 10 years old in October this year.

The other is Xu Yong, whose situation is quite special.

He is one of a kind basketball players in China, with top physical talents!

In 05, Xu Yong received basketball training while studying in a school in the beautiful country.

During this period, he met many people in the local basketball circle.

Among them is the NBA legend-Bill Russell!

Russell, known as "The Lord of the Rings", spoke very highly of Xu Yong.

He called the latter's physical fitness comparable to Steve Francis!

Francis, I believe that Huaxia fans know it very well.

Just by the nickname of "King of Volley", one can see how strong Francis' talent is!

And Xu Yong's talent is actually comparable to it!

In 06, the young Xu Yong made his debut in the cba.

In the same year, he became a blockbuster in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest and won the Slam Dunk King!

But heaven is jealous of talents. In May 08, the hopeful star of the China men's basketball team was diagnosed with "malignant central osteosarcoma of the spine".

This disease will not endanger Xu Yong's life, but it directly ended his basketball career.

Shen Fei's idea is to use [Holy Light Healing] to completely heal Xu Yong, and then train him well.

Because in Shen Fei's view, in the highest level of basketball games, physical talent is crucial!

A player's lower limit may be improved with hard work and sweat, but the upper limit is often determined by talent.

Even Kobe and Curry cannot deny this (their talents are not the top, but they are by no means bad, and their talents in some aspects are historical levels).

But the problem is, even if Shen Fei completely cured Xu Yong, NBA might not have the guts to accept him.

The risks here are too great!

Only then did Shen Fei make such a bad plan, trying to find a way out from Stern.

As for why he was so eager to recruit Zhou Peng and Xu Yong, it was because the Huaxia men's basketball team lacked excellent strikers!

In the current men's basketball team, there are Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian on the inside, Jeremy Lin and Sun Yue on the outside...

If these few people can continue to improve in the next year or so, they will basically be enough to deal with most teams.

But Zhu Ba Wang Qi (Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng) on ​​the front line is obviously not enough.

Wanting to rely on such a striker to compete for the Olympic gold medal is simply a dream.

The only way is to absorb new, more talented wing players.

Zhou Peng's defense and Xu Yong's physical talent are both valued by Shen Fei.

When Kyle Anderson, who has 1/8 Chinese blood, enters the university next year, Shen Fei intends to persuade him to join Huaxia.

In addition, Ding Yanyuhang, who will turn 18 next year...

The striker group of the Huaxia men's basketball team grew stronger in one fell swoop!

Of course, these are only Shen Fei's preliminary ideas.

The specific implementation needs to be done step by step.

And the first step in the journey of a thousand miles is to get through Stern's level first!

"There's nothing wrong with this... At most, it's just a few comments from the fans and some old guys."

"However, Shen, we have agreed before that we want to build a rocket dynasty. If you absorb these Chinese players, is the team's strength still guaranteed?"

Stern asked with concern.

Shen Fei chuckled.

"Take it easy, David."

"Since I said that I want to build a rocket dynasty and add a final touch of glory to your career, I won't break my promise."

"Just help me as much as you can, and don't cheat me."

Shen Fei said lightly.

His confidence is not without reason.

Not to mention anything else, relying on Curry and George Griffin who are still in their rookies alone, the Rockets have a solid foundation.

With the addition of [Spiritual Time Room], the three of them will have a chance to reach the peak level next season.

Curry at the mvp level, George at the team level, and Griffin at the sky limit...

With such a young core lineup, coupled with some strong support, how could it be possible that they can't move a few Chinese players?

Not to mention, Shen Fei will find a way to make several Huaxia players have strong competitiveness!

"All right..."

Even though Stern had all kinds of doubts in his heart, he didn't ask again.

Not only did Shen Fei help him get out of the predicament of being threatened, but he also promised to build a dynasty team to add luster to him.

Most importantly, Shen Fei still has his black material in his hand!

Combining several factors, the two are not in an equal relationship at all.

Therefore, Shen Fei opened his mouth, and Stern had to help out of reason!

"The second half is about to start, let's watch the ball together."

The goal has been achieved, Shen Fei said leisurely.

"Okay, it's not easy for the Rockets to win the game today."

Stern said with a smile.

"Well, this may be the only game the Thunder have a chance to win."

Shen Fei said noncommittally.

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

While the two were talking, the halftime break ended and the game restarted.

Back on the field, both sides replaced all starters.

After the half-time break, Durant and Westbrook were obviously in better shape.

After all, he is a young man in his early 20s, and his physical recovery speed is very fast.

After the start of the third quarter, the Thunder showed a stronger desire to win.

On the defensive end, they are extremely aggressive, and all five of them are sparing no effort to move.

On the other hand, the Rockets, they seemed to be slack because they overtook the score in the first half.

After the start of the second half, they did not match the intensity of the Thunder.

After hitting the iron three times in a row and expecting two turnovers, the Rockets were hit by the Thunder with a 7:0 spurt.

At 64:60, the Thunder led by 4 points!

At this time, the rocket just woke up like a dream.

Curry broke into the restricted area with the help of a screen.Help fly Griffin dunk.

64: 62.

In an offensive and defensive transition, Durant singled George at a 45-degree angle on the right.

I saw kd blasting the ball with his right hand, causing the ball to bounce high and suspending in his hand, and then a large crossover shook George back half a step.

Pickle quickly adjusted its center of gravity and pounced on Durant again.

Unexpectedly, the latter made another dribble with his left hand, and George was completely swayed aside!

Durant's classic doublecrossover (double change)!

After successfully getting rid of the defense, Xiaoshuai took a step forward and then shot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net.

66: 62.

Easy to fight again.

McGrady pulled out his hand from outside the three-point line, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

But Yao Ming stretched his ape arm lightly, took off the rebound on Perkins' head, then half turned around and hit the rebound with a hook.

66: 64.

Thunder attack.

Westbrook used the cover to pass between Curry and Griffin.

After reaching the penalty area, Westbrook forced Yao Ming to attack the basket and caused the latter's foul.

After making two free throws, the score became 68:64.

In this way, the two teams once again fell into a stalemate.

Playing until the third quarter, with 3 minutes left, the point difference between the two teams remained at about 5 points.

The only difference is that the Rockets began to put on substitutes as early as halfway through the third quarter.

The Thunder has been using the main lineup until now!

At this moment, Dewey's second young master was sweating profusely. Whenever he had a chance, he put his hands on his knees and bent down to rest.

The body language of the five players on the Rockets field was obviously much easier.

"Although the Thunder are leading, I feel that their situation is not good..."

In the vip box on the stands, Stern said.

"Just look at the fourth quarter, whether they can hold this breath."

Shen Fei said calmly.

While the two were talking, Thunder coach Brooks made substitution adjustments.

Both Durant and Westbrook were replaced, while Harden went into battle.

On the Rockets side, there is a shooting lineup led by Curry-Curry, Roy, George, Tucker, Yi Jianlian.
