Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 46
("Of course I'm not crazy!" Mayo smiled. "I just said to myself: 'Oh my God! That guy traded me for Shane Battier!' I didn't think I could watch them go through the hardships alone, so I chose to report early...It's okay..."

"But you didn't expect your form to be that good."

"I've been in good shape all season!"

"why?"

"You know how much pressure that guy put on to give me this chance. If I don't play well, I'm afraid that guy will kill me... (Snicker~)"

——An interview that OJ Mayo participated in after the season ended. )
"The shot is to Cameron on the sidelines, he is doing stretching exercises..."

"Yes, he is going to start the scoring mode..."

"Yesterday the Nuggets narrowly lost to the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, and they are going to sweep away the bad luck on the Houston Rockets..."

"Uh... can that damn lens be replaced by another person?"

"Who do you want to see? Jerry..."

"Oh, I want to see that mysterious Chinese manager..."

"why?"

"Because he's going to be beaten black and blue by the fans in Space City later..."

(A burst of snickering...)
"Oh! Allen Iverson..."

"This is his comeback season..."

"25-10, not bad."

"That's right, the key is the Suns in front of them, Barbosa is reimbursed for the season..."

"But after throwing down the burden of Raja Bell, they got Brooks, who has been hot this season..."

"Aha! Isn't that the masterpiece of this Chinese manager?"

"Yes, that's right! I think the Nuggets have another reason at this time, to beat the Rockets black and blue!"

"again?"

"That's right, last season's unlucky Denver was knocked 4:0 by Houston..."

"what about now?"

"Feng Shui takes turns. If there is no accident, the unlucky Houstonians are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered...there is only one problem..."

"what?"

"Someone can take the blame!"

"Ha ha…"

...

"Kacha~"

Ron switched off the pocket radio in his lap and headed for the infield...

The security guards saluted him respectfully, and he kept smiling...

He couldn't hide the tension in his heart. After the director and the DJ at the scene didn't find him, he quickly rushed to the player's locker room...

Wrong, this is the Nuggets locker room...

There was a lot of laughter, the sound of the nightclub was very loud, Kenyon Martin danced to the melody, and the others laughed heartily, no one took this game seriously.

Only one person had a rather cold and steady expression.

Ty Lawson…

The 18th pick is not a No. [-] pick, but it allowed the Nuggets who are in full swing to pick up a treasure.

This was also the masterpiece of the Timberwolves, who were preparing to summon the dragon with their 7 point guards in the draft at that time...

They picked Lawson, but threw it to the Nuggets, but unexpectedly, under coach Karl, he played very well...

In fact, there are rumors that they want to trade Iverson for Billups...

In fact, Ron doesn't know how terrifying this group of hip-hop kids will be after using the Lonely Hero to set the Poseidon needle...

In short, it will be scarier than it is now.

...

There is still a chance to win... Ron thought obsessively.

"Hi! Guys!" Ron's arrival made everyone stand in awe.

With the departure of the two starting players in the Rockets locker room, it gradually became warmer, Hayes also had a smile on his face, and the Argentine recovered his spirits.

Ariza was a little terrified, and he was still echoing Ron's threat that day... Now that Brooks was really traded, he couldn't guarantee whether this crazy manager would pack him up and send him back to the Lakers the next day after he accidentally missed a shot...

Lowry and Mayo made the final mentality adjustments one after another. The two men with stud earrings solemnly packed up their treasures, put on their knee pads and took a deep breath.

Mayo likes to wear braces, Lowry is thinking about...

Looking at the expressions, Ron is full of confidence in these two people...

Others felt a sense of exhaustion... a little uncomfortable all over.

I almost mean...

"Come on!" Ron suddenly shouted: "After two consecutive victories, I will invite everyone to the bar... Whoever is most efficient will have a richer program!"

He laughed to himself as he finished speaking...

"That's what you said!" Everyone said in unison, enjoying themselves...

...

"Manager, this is the playing list..." The on-site executive ran over...

"You guys discuss it with the coaching staff... Wait a minute, Mayo must play last!"

Ron hurried to the scene.

At this time, Scarlett, who was sitting with Yao's family, was smiling like a flower, and she didn't know what she was laughing at. The scene quickly caught her action. She put on an intimate expression, and raised her middle finger mischievously...

"My God! Scarlett Johansson! Why is she in Houston?"

"How long has it been since you read Entertainment Weekly?"

"When did she join the Chinese gang? She seems to be in good spirits."

"Where is her Chinese boyfriend?"

"It should be in a VIP box!"

"Impossible, the venue is full, and everyone wants to see the No. 23, who once singled out Jordan and caused the trapeze to be fined last year's No. 3 show..."

"Then he should be hiding in bed and crying...Houston is hopeless today...Maybe you can see him tomorrow, and pray that the losing streak will end against the Pacers tomorrow. I don't know if the amazing Slovenian boy can catch up."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Goran Dragic…"

"Oh my God, the Nuggets guys are out!"

"They look set to win...there's an old boy who's been controversial...we might not see him make a difference in this game now that 'The Leaker' Brooks is gone..."

Under the leadership of Allen Iverson, the Nuggets players came out in a swarm. They regarded this place as their home court and frequently high-fived the audience.

"Henry, I remembered a ridiculous thing!" Drexler had to say a few words for the home team as the Rockets.

"what?"

"I think of Melo's deflated face last year..."

"It's a duck egg at 4:0, no one will feel better, but you know, there is no Beast Artest this year, and they just sent Battier away...I bet he has at least 30 points..."

The Rockets' bench also swarmed out, and several old fans who were always present were pleasantly surprised to find that the spirit of this time was much better than the previous game.

The camera showed Yao Ming in suits and ties on the bench and Kevin Martin in the same suits and ties. These two buddies became regulars on the bench.

The lights on the scene went dark, the countdown counted down for 5 seconds, and the DJ crazily created momentum, and the Toyota Center returned to a sea of ​​red...

"First we welcome our starting point guard! Kyle...Lowry!"

"And then the national team ace from Argentina! Luis... Scola!"

"Next up is our giant, Chuck! Hayes!"

"And Trevor from UCLA... Ariza!"

Ariza is quite satisfied with his new status. In addition to enjoying the treatment of core players in the previous few games, he was even removed from the main list.

"Finally, let's welcome our new ace with the loudest shout out! From West Virginia - O...J...Mayo!"

The shouts were loud!Almost half of the new fans came here for this reason. The star-looking player who wore No. 23 and once claimed to be Jordan’s successor just entered the field, and everyone was crazy about it...

Since McGrady left, no one has enjoyed such treatment in the Toyota Center. The young man in front of him who is full of hope from Ron and all the fans of Space City raised his arms and shouted. He seemed to have been depressed for a long time. His face was so serious and serious that he couldn't even detect the expression of stage fright. It was as if this was the stage he was born for!

Barkley said: "He suppressed for too long, he is like a beast!"

Kenny: "Yes, actually, I'm more inclined to let Gay go than him...He has more than 2000 million and does what a guy with a rookie contract does."

Mayo's debut made the Nuggets on the side very happy.

Anthony opened his mouth and seemed to be smiling, but it was the prelude that he was about to give his opponent some color. Iverson was arguing fiercely with Karl, and we could see some clues from the surprised eyes of Nene Hilario and Marcus Camby.

The Rockets started with Lowry, Mayo, Ariza, Scola, and Hayes.

Nuggets starting Ty - Lawson, Iverson, Anthony, Nene, Camby.

Don't forget, they also have old Miller, Kenyon Martin, JR-Smith and other star players, but what about the Rockets?Budinger, Jordan Hill, etc. in the first grade, Dorsey in the second grade, old Barry...

"This is a massacre!" - A senior ESPN commentator
"I don't understand why the Rockets have no reservations and choose to fight against the powerful Nuggets. They can let Mayo make his debut tomorrow..."--Danny Fagan, commentator of the Rockets section of the Houston Chronicle
"Oh my god, I can't watch it anymore, can you switch channels, mom?" - TNT Buckley

"We're here to investigate how many layers of skill Iverson still has, and whether it's worth replacing him with Billups... As for the Rockets... I hope they can let Iverson play at least 30 minutes or more." -Pistons player consultant.

"In any case, I don't blame him, he at least brought me a few million dollars in salary turnover, at least sold out tickets for the last few games...It's a good start..." -Alexander

...

Despite the disparity in strength, the audience still cheered for the home team very strongly. They did not cheer for their opponents like the fans of the Bucks...

...

There are so many fans today!Ron thought to himself.

He suddenly pulled Olajuwon beside him.

"Will you say a few words to the fans for me later?"

"What?" he asked scratching the back of his head.

"I'm leaving…"

"Hey! Ron! Where are you going?"

"I... you know, I don't watch live games..."

...

Your biggest weakness is that you can't have an emotional bond with the players, which will interfere with your decision-making.You can't be hard-hearted, you are not cold-blooded enough as the general manager of the team...

Ron walked towards the parking lot, and Morey's words suddenly echoed in his mind...

He turned on the radio, which was teasing him and Scarlett. He rolled up the car window, put down the car seat, and leaned on it very comfortably, with a relaxed and happy expression.

Suddenly, I remembered the words that were still fresh in my memory.

"Get back up! Your favorite basketball is waiting for you!"

It's time to turn the page... he said to himself, smiling.
