Legendary basketball manager

In high-speed movement, a small thrust often has a great impact on athletes.

The next moment, Curry lost his center of gravity and flew backwards...

"woo..."

The scene was amazed.

On the Thunder's bench, the players fell into a commotion, with exaggerated and shocked expressions on their faces.

On the field, Harden glanced coldly at Curry who fell to the ground, paused for a moment, and then shot slowly...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net!

9:6, the Thunder narrowed the point difference.

Curry stood up angrily, imitating Harden's small movements with his right hand, and complained to the referee.

"Sorry Stephen, but I really didn't see it."

The referee explained.

Curry shook his head speechlessly, turned around and walked to the bottom line to catch the ball.

The referee didn't see the action of Harden's auxiliary hand, and he could understand it.

But this does not mean that Curry is willing to suffer from this dumb loss.

He decided to respond himself!

The teammates also know Curry very well, and they guessed his plan after seeing his angry little expression.

After Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, McGrady, who was facing Harden, stepped forward and played a pick-and-roll with Curry.

However, Westbrook and Harden did not switch defenses, but chose to squeeze through the screen.

But that gave Curry a shot.

After Mengshen bypassed the screen, he made a decisive 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!

9:6.

"Come on guard against me!"

Curry yelled at Harden.

Brother Deng gave him a slightly resentful look, but did not respond.

The two, who were both rookies in 09, actually have a good relationship in private.

But the stadium is like a battlefield. At this time, the two sides are their own masters, and naturally there is no friendship at all.

Thunder attack.

Harden, who is feeling hot, continues to dominate the offense.

Curry got off his horse, with his arms outstretched, ready to fight.

Although he is not good at defense, his spirit cannot accept being singled three times in a row!

In the box on the stand, Ajiali watched the stadium with a little worry.

"It's really a disadvantage for Curry to be Harden."

She couldn't help turning her head and said to Shen Fei.

"That's what he has to face."

"When it comes to the playoffs, the opponent will definitely make targeted arrangements."

"Even if it is difficult for other teams to send three such strong outside players like the Thunder, they will find Stephen through various tactics."

Shen Fei said lightly.

"The Lakers only have Kobe, the Mavericks only have Terry, and the Heat have James and Wade..."

"Compared to the outside firepower alone, only the Thunder can dispatch three strong points at once!"

"I didn't expect Curry's biggest test to happen in this round."

Ajiali concluded with a smile.

"The talent of this Thunder team is one of the best in NBA history."

Shen Fei said noncommittally.

"Oh? Such a high evaluation?"

Ajiali blinked her big curious eyes.

"It's not an exaggeration at all."

"So... they cannot be allowed to develop smoothly."

As Shen Fei spoke, the corners of his mouth curled into a sly arc.

"???"

Ajiali didn't understand what Shen Fei meant.

"For those rookies recommended to you before, have you sent scouts to NCAA to investigate?"

Without waiting for Ajiali to ask, Shen Fei changed the subject.

"Yes, yes!"

"Jimmy Butler and Isaiah Thomas, we've both scouted deeply."

As soon as the matter of the king was mentioned, Ajiali became interested.

"Well, what did the scout say?"

Shen Fei asked curiously.

"We sent three scouting teams, and the conclusions we got were... these two guys only have a second-round market, and Thomas Jr. may even lose the draft."

"Butler's defense is good, but his wingspan is short and his skills are relatively rough. At present, he does not have the ability to attack independently."

"Thomas Jr. has a strong scoring ability, but it is still unknown whether he can continue this firepower in NBA-level games. The most important thing is that his size determines that he is a natural loophole on the defensive end."

Ajiali said like a few treasures.

While the two were talking, Curry completed a successful defense.

He predicted Harden's foul action during the march, and raised his hand in time to avoid it, causing Harden to throw a far-fetched ball.

Ben Wallace controlled the rebound, and the Rockets counterattacked!

During the fast break, McGrady single-handedly entered the Thunder penalty area.

After attracting a double-team, t-mac jumped back and passed the ball to Curry beyond the three-point line.

Without hesitation, Mengshen made another three-pointer!

Moreover, after he finished shooting, he didn't pay attention to whether the basketball went into the basket, but turned around and started to celebrate!

Both the players on the court and the audience in the stands were frightened by Curry's behavior.

But those shocks turned to wonder as the ball crashed into the net.

This guy, Curry played it hard!

"My God, what a confidence that is, to turn around and celebrate after the shot."

"Director Yang, this ball reminds me of that man."

Yu Jia sighed.

"Well, Arenas, the No. 0 agent of the Wizards, also made a similar celebration when he made a key shot."

"This kind of ball, I can only say... Yigao people are bold!"

Yang Yi said in admiration.

In the last three games, Curry has defeated him!

If someone asks Yang Yi now whether Curry is at the same level as Westbrook, Yang Yi will not only nod his head, but also add that Curry is even a better player!

In the stands, after seeing Curry's wonderful three-pointer, Ajiali began to applaud excitedly.

"The playoffs are so interesting. After playing a few games, the two teams know the basics, and then there are all kinds of games."

"I don't know when my Kings can return to the playoffs."

Ajiali's bright eyes flowed, and her eyes were full of hope.

"I haven't finished talking just now."

"There is nothing wrong with the scouting report you got. Thomas and Butler do have obvious shortcomings now."

"But I can guarantee that these two players can at least help the Kings quickly return to the playoffs."

Shen Fei smiled slightly, and reopened the topic just now.

"So sure?"

Ajiali was a little curious.

She did not doubt the authenticity of what Shen Fei said.

It's just that, as a team owner, Shen Fei has a lot to do every day, so he didn't go to the scene to inspect the two players.

Why can he make such a promise so sternly?

"I've studied a lot of their footage, and it's not just technical."

Shen Fei explained.

Ajiali was still puzzled, with a look of all ears.

"Butler was a 'warrior,' tough and trained hard."

"You can think of him as a low-profile version of James. Give him two years, and he can grow into a star on his own."

"Isaiah Thomas is the strongest player under 180 in my opinion. Given football rights and tactical support, he has the ability to score 50+ points in NBA games."

Shen Fei revealed some information that he only knew.

"Butler did mention in a scouting report that he has the potential to be a high-quality wing, which is exactly what the Kings need."

"But Thomas' style of play, as you said, requires a lot of ball support. But we already have Evans on the team, and Cousins ​​​​is also a center with a relatively high usage rate..."

Ajiali looked embarrassed.

"Then train Thomas as a sixth man."

"If properly guided, he will be a bench bandit who can average more than 20 points per game."

Shen Fei said indifferently.

In this time and space, Evans was not pushed to the second position, and his development was smooth.

Moreover, compared to Thomas, Evans has a significantly higher upper limit and is more suitable as a core training.

If you can build a main lineup with Evans-Butler-Cousins ​​as the core, supplemented by the bench firepower brought by "the strongest 175 on the surface", the Kings will definitely have a place in the West!

"By the way, I also recommended a center forward to you, called Hassan Whiteside."

Shen Fei suddenly remembered Da Baibian.

"He? After you recommended it to me, I asked the coach to put him in the rotation."

"But at present, his skills are relatively rough, and his defensive habits are not very good. Kong has a strong physical talent, but he plays like a headless chicken on the court."

Ajiali shook her head and said.

At least so far, the three people recommended by Shen Fei to him have not shown the potential to be entrusted with important tasks.

"Don't worry, give him more time next season, he may be able to get the hang of it soon."

"Once he gets the hang of it, Whiteside will put up good numbers. At that time, you can let him play as a substitute for Cousins, or sell on rallies and continue to strengthen the team."

Shen Fei continued.

"Hmm...I made a note of it."

"However, Fei, why do I feel that you know him better than anyone else? Obviously you are not very familiar with him."

Ajiali was puzzled.

"Maybe... I can predict the future."

Shen Fei didn't know how to explain it, so he simply didn't explain it.

Ajiali rolled her eyes immediately.

But deep down in her heart, she believed in what Shen Fei said.

What Ajiali said before was Whiteside's shortcomings.

But in fact, at the end of the season, after getting more playing time, Whiteside did show something special.

In one game against the Spurs, Cousins ​​was troubled by fouls and was benched early.

Whiteside was ordered in the face of danger and took on the important task of facing Deng Kun.

In that game, Da Baibian had a career night.

He played 28 minutes and scored 12 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks.

One of the blocks was to block Duncan's hook!

Whiteside's terrifying jumping ability was fully reflected in that game.

Ever since that time, Ajiali has firmly believed in Shen Fei's suggestion.

In her eyes, Shen Fei is worthy of Bole who can know a thousand li horses!

"By the way, there is one thing I must remind you."

"I've heard rumors that Evans' lifestyle is not particularly professional..."

Shen Fei suddenly spoke.

Ajiali was taken aback when she heard this.

This is the first time she has heard of this statement.

"Okay... After I go back, let the assistant coach go and find out first."

Ajiali said seriously.

"Well, let's continue watching the game."

After Shen Fei finished speaking, he refocused his attention on the court.

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

Looking back, the first quarter has reached the last 3 minutes.

The two sides battled to 25:20, and the Rockets temporarily led by five points.

At this time, the game entered the transition period, and both teams sent substitute players.

The Rockets are still boldly "five up and down".

Mark Jackson replaced two Chinese players - Shuhao and Yi Jianlian.

In addition, Roy, Danny Green and Oden also played together.

The Thunder continued their consistent "short rotation" strategy.

Except for Harden's rest, Westbrook, Durant, and Ibaka still stayed on the court.

Collison and Cook replaced Ibaka and Harden respectively.

Rocket attack.

Shu Hao passed the half court with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize.

Roy used the screen to go out and came to the outside to receive the ball.

After getting the ball, the Yellow Mamba puts on a three-threat pose.

After several trials, he made a jump shot on the spot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net.

27: 20.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Durant caught the ball with his post up near the free throw line.

Shuhao put down his defense against Westbrook and rushed to flank KD with Danny Green.

Durant waved his hand and passed the ball back to Westbrook.

Thunder 0 went straight to the basket after receiving the ball.

His explosive power is extremely strong, and he has both strength and speed. He rushes like a cheetah running at high speed!

After rushing to the free throw line and taking a step in, Westbrook slightly bent his knees, kicked off the ground with both feet, and made a dunk!

In the blink of an eye, Oden and Yi Jianlian took off at the same time, forming an iron wall in the air.

"Boom..."

The sound of muscles colliding was clearly audible.

The scene of the sports car crashing into the city wall also made the fans enjoy watching it!

In the end, Westbrook was limited by the defender's physique, and was blocked by two two-meter-high men.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Shuhao took a step forward, controlled the falling basketball, and then launched a counterattack with the ball.

Westbrook was very upset when his dunk was blocked, so he chased after Brother Hao frantically.

But after chasing after him, the tortoise suddenly discovered...

He couldn't keep up with Jeremy Lin's pace!

Yes, Westbrook, who has always been good at physical fitness, can only "eat the dust" behind Shuhao!

"bang!"

Shuhao made a crisp one-handed dunk, rewriting the score to 29:20,

The point difference between the two teams is about to reach double digits!

At the critical moment, the Thunder still let Durant stand up to solve the problem.

He singled Danny Green with the ball from beyond the three-point line, and passed Green with a huge crossover before Jeremy came to attack.

After striding to the basket, Durant faced Yi Jianlian and made a tough layup!

29: 22.

With this goal scored, the first quarter came to the last minute.

Shuhao played pick-and-roll tactics with Yi Jianlian at the top of the arc.

With the help of the cover of the United Arab Emirates, Brother Hao passed between the two defensive players, and then rushed to the Thunder penalty area.

Ibaka shrinks under the basket, bends his knees slightly, and prepares to protect the frame.

Seeing this, Shu Hao showed no signs of fear, he held the ball with one hand with his right hand, and attacked the basket with fire!
