Legendary basketball manager

In the afternoon of the same day, the Rockets announced the news of signing Danny Green on their official Twitter.

The tweet didn't stir up any waves.

Most fans don't even know who this player is, what he looks like, and what his style of play is.

In the evening, in another corner of the beautiful country, Cavaliers general manager David Griffin finished his busy day and swiped his mobile phone at home.

Yesterday's deal with the Rockets failed, which made him very regretful, and he hasn't fully come out until now.

Having nothing to do, Griffin couldn't bear it, and clicked on Lowry's Twitter again.

"Don't let loyalty get you, boy."

Griffin complained.

He believes that the Cavaliers have a better chance of winning the championship than the Rockets.

Somehow, Griffin always felt that LeBron would come back one day, perhaps in the not-too-distant future.

Just when the page was refreshed, he found that Lowry had sent a new tweet——

"Welcome to Aerotropolis, this season takes off! @DannyGreen"

"???"

Griffin was stunned.

He quickly clicked into Lowry@'s account, and found that the owner of the account was indeed the former Cavaliers player he just laid off yesterday - Danny Green!

Griffin instantly felt cheated

"Shen Fei!!!"

With a low growl, he immediately picked up the phone and called the Asian youth.

"Manager Shen Fei, what's going on?"

"I just waived Danny Green in front of me, and you took him in behind?"

"You talked to me for so long yesterday, is it just to lie to me?"

David Griffin asked.

"you misunderstood."

Shen Fei was not in a hurry, and slowly said:

"Just think about it, why do I have to deceive the general manager of a team for an unknown player? It's not worth the candle."

"I signed Green purely because the team lacked a three-point shooter, and his scouting report happened to write this item, so I wanted to sign and try."

"Maybe, after a while, he didn't perform well, and I also cut him? He stayed in Cleveland for one season, don't you know his level?"

Shen Fei talked eloquently.

"This..."

Griffin still wanted to refute, but felt that the other party was right.

In fact, long before negotiating a deal with Shen Fei, he had thought about laying off Danny Green.

Originally, Griffin planned to observe for another month after the start of the season, and if Green's performance did not improve, he would be waived.

But now, it's just a step ahead of time.

"Buying and selling can't be righteous. Manager Griffin, I'm sorry that the deal couldn't be completed, but you shouldn't blame me for it."

"Kyle Lowry has a mind of his own. He spent two seasons as a backup in the shadow of Aaron Brooks, and now he has a chance to start, and he doesn't want to pass up that opportunity."

Shen Fei continued to talk nonsense.

"I understand, I'm sorry Manager Shen Fei, I was reckless."

Griffin apologized and hung up the phone.

Shen Fei smiled slightly, the deal was considered to be completely settled.

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

Time flies, and a few days have passed.

Seeing that the regular season is about to start, Shen Fei visits the Toyota Center arena more and more frequently.

In the afternoon, young Asians came to the arena again.

As soon as you enter the door, you can hear the sound of basketball colliding with the wooden floor and the friction of sneakers with the floor.

As soon as Shen Fei entered the stadium, he was warmly welcomed by the players.

Lowry's smile was as warm and innocent as ever. George smiled and waved. Although McGrady was still sleepy, he could see that he was very excited.

Shen Fei looked around, smiled and nodded to everyone.

"You keep practicing, don't worry about me."

The Asian youth said with a smile.

All the soldiers nodded one after another. Today's training is coming to an end.

They put on the special jerseys for group confrontation and are ready to play.

Shen Fei and the coach - Mark Jackson, watched from the sidelines together.

Seeing Kevin Martin, Battier, Scola and other main players of last season put on the jerseys of the "substitute team", Shen Fei asked with a smile: "Those veteran players in the team were all put on the substitute team. At the table, do you have any comments?"

"I was a little unconvinced at first, but after playing a few team training games, I gradually became silent."

The corner of Mark Jackson's mouth couldn't help but rise when he thought of last week, when the veterans were on the bench and were defended by the starting team.

"I now let Kevin Martin act as the sixth man. His scoring ability can continue the firepower for the team in the transition period."

"Scola has always had a good attitude. He often corrected Griffin's small habits, small details, and even taught some of his unique inside footsteps."

Mark Jackson said with a smile.

Shen Fei nodded and continued: "The five members of the 'main team' are the starting lineup for the Lakers the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, I pondered for a long time yesterday before I decided on it."

"Lowry, McGrady, George, Griffin, Tucker, they are the strongest lineup that the team can form now."

Mark Jackson replied.

The Rockets currently lack a big center, and the only insider with a qualified height is Brad Miller.

But he was old and embarrassed, so Mark Jackson had to let Tucker take over.

Speaking of this, Mark Jackson recalled that he had a phone call with Shen Fei a few days ago.

On the phone, he tentatively proposed to push Tucker to the fifth position, but he did not expect to be recognized and praised by Shen Fei.

"Three months ago, when I signed PJ, I told him that in the future, I will let him play inside and let him gain weight."

"I took a look just now. He is much stronger than when he first came to the team. It is not a big problem to occasionally go to the fifth position."

Shen Fei said so at the time.

The manager's affirmation gave Mark Jackson greater confidence.

After all, in this starter, both insiders are less than 2 meters tall.

This kind of collocation, looking at today's league, is unique.

Mark Jackson is already predictable, the starting lineup has been announced tomorrow, and many people in the industry will be shocked by them!
