Chapter 28 Shen Fei's advice, the preseason starts!(1/2)
"Mark, I'm going to make another deal next."
Chen Fei said lightly in the conference room.
“What are you going to do?”
Mark Jackson wondered.
In his eyes, the Rockets are currently in a good state.
The veteran is in excellent form and the newcomer is like a wolf or a tiger. It is the time for the Rockets to strive for good results.
Now Shen Fei suddenly wants to make a deal again, and Mark Jackson is a little puzzled.
"Yao will have some time to heal from injury. Our inside line is not strong except Tucker."
Chen Fei replied.
At this moment, Mark Jackson became even more confused.
As Chen Fei said, pj-Tuck has a strong defense.
But apart from him, Chuck Hayes is hard to shake at the low post; although the newly joined Griffin is not experienced, he is also very tough on the defensive end with his outstanding bounce and strong body.
Why does it become a defensive situation when it comes to the mouth of his general manager?
Chen Fei saw Mark Jackson's confusion at a glance.
“I look at it from the perspective of championship.”
“There are too many excellent inside players in the league now.”
"Tim Duncan of the Spurs, Kevin Garnett of the Celtics, Chris Bosh of the Heat..."
"Of course, there is Nowitzki of Dallas, who is the one who makes me most headache right now."
Chen Fei explained.
"General Manager, I understand what you mean."
"However, the first few people couldn't help but I agreed, but this last one..."
"IMHO, Dirk may be hard to stop in the regular season, but in the playoffs, I don't think there is too much fear."
Mark Jackson said seriously.
Chen Fei understood what he meant and shook his head immediately.
Unexpectedly, not only fans, but even professionals despise Nowitzki so much.
Chen Fei understood why Nowitzki was so in the playoffs that year, but his opponents never did well in targeted defense against him...
A large part of the reason is the negative comments of the driver from the outside world (Nowski had not yet played the Gods season, and fans called him more "soft eggs" than "King of Nothing"), which led to his opponents more or less despising him.
This kind of contempt is not only reflected in their attitude, but also in their preparations.
It would be too late to set targeted tactics when the series started!
The team also lacks player reserves to limit Nowitzki, who has super singles ability.
"Diker will be the biggest obstacle for us to break out of the West this year! The coaching staff will have to do a good job of studying Nowitzki and his Mavericks in the following season."
Chen Fei ordered in an unquestionable tone.
The Heat may be the strongest team in the overall strength this season. The Mavericks led by Nowitzki will definitely be the most resilient and very difficult team!
Seeing Chen Fei solemnly, Mark Jackson nodded immediately, saying that he would prepare for the battle.
"Let me talk about the deal, my target is Chris Anderson of the Nuggets."
"In the next preseason, I need you to give two players more opportunities to perform."
"Jordan Hill and Ismail Smith"
Chen Fei said lightly.
Neither of these two people played in the group match just now, and they were outside the team's rotation.
"I will make arrangements, don't worry, the manager."
Of course, Mark Jackson would not have any objections and agreed immediately. After that, he pondered for a moment and added:
"But, manager, I need to remind you. Anderson is a sports insider, but he is 32 years old this year and may experience a cliff-like decline at any time."
Mark Jackson's concerns are not without reason.
There have been countless jumping men in NBA history, most of them will suddenly decline around the age of 30 to 33.
The most obvious example is another inside player of the Nuggets, the orc - Faried.
At his peak, he was a regular visitor to the beautiful national team.
But after his physical fitness declined, he soon became abandoned by the NBA and had to go overseas to hunt for gold.
And Anderson is now 32 years old!
As a blue-collar insider who has no offensive skills, once his body declines, it means that he loses his only competitiveness in the game!
However, Chen Fei was not worried about this, and Anderson still had at least 2-3 years of golden period.
But he could not explain to Jackson what these time travelers knew about it, so he could only make a decision.
"Don't worry, I have my own considerations."
Chen Fei said lightly.
Time will give the final answer!
............
In the afternoon of the same day, the Rockets announced on official Twitter that Griffin would make a comeback and warmed up tomorrow's first preseason game.
For a time, many fans gathered below the tweet and expressed their opinions:
"I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that Griffin can complete a game in a complete way."
"This is the player we only exchanged for Aaron Brooks and Lance Stephenson! Don't let me down, Blake."
"I admit that I'm a troll. If Griffin is really like Oden, who can only play a few games a year, I will be full-time Chen Feihei from now on!"
Of course, amid the "noise" sound, some rational fans have made a look at the new season:
"There are so many newcomers this year. I hope Houston can stage a youth storm!"
"George's appearance and superstar appearance are definitely McGrady's successor!"
"The competition started to get dark before it even started? It was a mule or a horse. I'll know if it was a real sword and a gun tomorrow!"
............
Time flies, and the day has passed in a blink of an eye.
Toyota Center Stadium, October 6, Beijing time.
The NBA preseason season 10-11 officially started!
The Rockets, which owns Yao Yao, is the absolute darling of CCTV.
Although today is just a preseason game and Yao Ming has long announced that he will not play, CCTV-5 still sent a broadcast team to conduct live broadcasts.
"Hello everyone, everyone, welcome to watch the NBA preseason broadcast by CCTV-5 for you!"
"I'm Yu Jia!"
"I am Yang Yi!"
"The two sides we played against today are our old friends - the Houston Rockets and the Eastern Conference powerhouse - the Orlando Magic."
"Coach Yang, can you tell me what you think of this game?"
Yu Jia asked.
"The Rockets are very active this year's offseason."
"They welcomed 6 new players in total. The most interesting ones are naturally last year's No. 1 pick - Griffin and this year's No. 10 pick - Paul George."
"Today they all appeared in the starting lineup, which shows that the Rockets' goal this season has changed from competing for the championship to cultivating new players."
Yang Yi analyzed confidently.
"Oh? But Yao is still at the peak. Will the Rockets waste his peak period to train newcomers?"
Yu Jia was a little confused.
"Yao Ming was reimbursed last season. The latest news is that he has recovered, but is still doing restorative training."
"In addition to the turmoil in the team's management, Chen Fei from our China has become the first Chinese general manager in NBA history."
"It is normal for a new official to take office as a buffer period. I think Yao Ming should take a good rest this year. Only when the rookies develop almost next year will the Rockets put the competition for the championship on the agenda."
Yang Yi explained.
Yu Jia nodded and took over the conversation and said, "And their opponent, the Orlando Magic, is a strong man this year! All of them will play today, and it seems that they want to make a good start for the new season."
"Yes. In terms of overall strength, the Magic team is obviously a stronger side."
