Chapter 312 New Mission!(1/2)
“Chasing the limits is something every basketball manager should pursue.”
"Mission content: Break the Rockets' record of 22 consecutive victories."
“Task Reward: $2 billion.”
Chen Fei smiled slightly after hearing this.
The Rockets have achieved 21 consecutive victories. As long as they can win the next two games, they can break the team's record set in the 2007-08 season.
Moreover, the Rockets' opponents in the last two games are the "Tank Team" in the league.
If nothing unexpected happens, this 2 billion will be the thing in Chen Fei’s pocket!
"It just so happened that I spent a lot of money to advertise Under Armour recently."
"We can continue to advertise unscrupulously now."
Chen Fei murmured to himself, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Nike's family has a great career.
Although Under Armour has rapidly expanded its influence during this period, it still lacks a lot of excitement compared to the industry's old leaders.
Chen Fei knew very well that there was still a lot to do if Under Armour became a brand comparable to Nike.
And without exception, these things require a lot of money.
Therefore, this money is very important to him!
To be safe, the next morning, Chen Fei drove to the Rockets' training hall.
When he arrived, the players were doing warm-up exercises.
As soon as he saw Chen Fei appear, a group of people stopped their movements in their hands and greeted them.
“Good morning for boss!”
"The manager comes to our training again. I must beat the main team later!"
"Boss, come and play in the future~"
............
Chen Fei responded with a smile.
Soon, a figure caught his attention.
The inside player Anderson, who had previously been troubled by groin injury, also returned to the team today.
Chen Fei looked at him, then looked at Yao Ming, Oden, Griffin, Ben Wallace, Tucker, and Ah Lian next to him... He felt emotion in his heart: "Our team's inside line is really terrible."
As soon as these words came out, the Rockets players present laughed.
Now the seven inside players in the team have diverse styles and none of them are weak!
They had already felt what Chen Fei said about "terrible" in training.
As talented as McGrady, he had to think hard in the training match before he dared to get into the basket.
"You can't develop the habit of floating outside and shooting just because your inside defense is strong."
Chen Fei reminded half-jokingly.
"Boss, haven't you always advocated that we make more three-pointers?"
Lowry asked.
"You only see the surface."
"Essentially, the extra three-pointers are to pull the space on the field."
"Once the space is opened, it will be much easier to break through. However! If you only make three-pointers but no breakthrough, the opponent will be able to deal with it easily."
Chen Fei explained patiently.
During this period of time, the "magic ball theory" has not been systematically proposed.
Although the players have rich experience on the court, their basketball philosophy is still at a relatively primitive level.
"Actually, it's just... making full use of the on-field space, right?"
Curry asked.
Chen Fei nodded.
"Then I think... just having three points and breakthroughs doesn't use all the space."
“The area of medium distance is also very important!”
Curry boldly put forward his own ideas.
As soon as he finished speaking, McGrady on the side nodded.
Obviously, t-mac has a similar view.
"Well said!"
Curry's words surprised Chen Fei a little.
He was only half of what he said just now.
Although the "magic ball" is good, once the three-pointer is inaccurate, it is easy to encounter a Waterloo in a key game.
For example, the Rockets in the original time and space.
As in-depth practitioners of Magic Ball Theory, they have achieved very good results in the regular season for many years and have once become the first team of "anti-brave" team.
But as strong as the Rockets, it is difficult for them to break through the final bottleneck and enter the finals.
Chen Fei believes that, in the final analysis, it is because they lack achievements in the middle distance.
It is obvious that he has the master of Zhongtou, Chris Paul, but he restricts his actions, which is tantamount to self-destruction of martial arts.
In contrast, another three-point team - the Golden State Warriors.
No matter how their personnel are adjusted, the team always reserves at least one player who is good at mid-range.
Livingston was early on, and then added a CET-investment master like Kevin Durant.
It can be said that "Cosmic Divine" played the space on the court to the extreme.
Therefore, in Shen Fei's concept, the "magic ball" theory plus the mid-range scorer can create a real offensive team!
But these concepts will gradually emerge five or six years later.
It is hard to imagine that a sophomore rookie in 2011 could come up with such profound insights.
[Maybe, this is a historical star...]
Chen Fei thought to himself.
With physical fitness below the league average, we entered the ranks of NBA players President Mountain...
In addition to his outstanding basketball skills, Curry also has unique basketball IQ.
"Stephen is right."
"In regular time, three-pointers and breakthroughs can maximize our offensive efficiency."
"But at the critical moment of the game, middle distance is the most 'killing' weapon."
Chen Fei concludes briefly.
After hearing this, all the Rocket generals were thinking.
"Boss, how do you know so much?"
Paul George asked suddenly.
Chen Fei was stunned when he heard this.
Why do you know so much? Because I am a time traveler!
Of course, he certainly couldn't answer like this.
But Chen Fei raised his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and tapped his temple twice.
"Don't be here."
"Sometimes, don't just work hard, use your brain to think about whether there is a better way."
Chen Fei said with a smile.
Everyone nodded again.
"Okay, I've said it almost, you guys start training."
After saying that, Chen Fei took a step back to the sidelines and signaled that Mark Jackson to organize training.
............
As the players were sweating profusely, Chen Fei and Mark Jackson chatted and laughed on the sidelines.
After talking about the team's future, Chen Fei got to the topic.
To be continued...
