Legendary basketball manager

As soon as the news came out, Rockets fans at home and abroad immediately started heated discussions on social media.

In fact, since the Rockets officially announced Shen Fei as the team's general manager yesterday, the fans' doubts have never disappeared.

Most people think that the boss Alexander has tasted the sweetness of the Chinese market from Yao Ming.

Now not only players have to be selected from Huaxia, but even key positions like the general manager have to find a yellow man who has just graduated from college.

"Alexander, you better understand that the Houston Rockets are a basketball team, and in the end it depends on the performance on the basketball court."

"NBA is a business field, but it is also an arena. If you let a young man in his early twenties take charge of the Rockets, don't you worry about wasting Yao Ming's peak period?"

Today, Shen Fei made the first operation after taking office, which was to trade the best rookie in the team last year.

And get, only the first-round pick rose by 4 places, and there is also a second-round pick.

This is unacceptable to Rockets fans.

As a result, under woj's tweet, a lot of negative remarks appeared.

"I respect Yao Ming very much, but I can't accept this Huaxia manager named Shen Fei at all."

"It's also a lottery pick in the second half. You'd better see that a certain rookie has star potential, otherwise I'll be chasing you from now on!"

"Don't choose the No. 10 pick at that time. It's not as good as Zeiss. That's ridiculous."

Some fans also chose to stand up and say something for Shen Fei.

"If I remember correctly, when Yao Ming first entered the NBA, a bunch of people were chasing him. I wondered whether Shen Fei's operation would be successful or not. Why was he in such a hurry?"

"Haven't you noticed that Jeffries' junk contract has been thrown away? This is very helpful for the Rockets' salary space."

And in Huaxia on the other side of the ocean, the birth of Shen Fei quickly aroused discussions among the fans.

On the largest basketball forum in China - Hupu, there were a lot of posts about Shen Fei.

"China's first NBA general manager, who is Shen Fei? "

"Manager + head star, the Rockets may have become the back garden of Chinese basketball. Will more domestic players land in the NBA in the future?" "

Generally speaking, Huaxia fans were very pleasantly surprised by Shen Fei's appearance, but at the same time they were also worried about his situation.

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

When people were discussing enthusiastically, Shen Fei, who was in the vortex of public opinion, had no time to take into account the outside world's comments.

At this time, he is preparing for the upcoming draft.

Shen Fei first contacted Jeremy Lin personally and offered an olive branch to the young point guard.

"I can give you a promise. After you join the Rockets, you will get enough playing time and will not sit on the bench."

"With Dayao and I here, you don't have to worry about being excluded."

Shen Fei said so.

Jeremy Lin was flattered.

He was fully aware of his situation.

If nothing else, his name will not be read in the draft.

The only way to stay in the NBA is to find a team for trial training and strive for a chance to perform in the summer league.

But now, there is actually a team willing to give him a draft guarantee and promise future playing time.

"General manager, are you serious?"

Jeremy Lin could hardly contain his excitement and confirmed again.

"Ah."

"You just have to make sure of one thing, reject all other teams, and wait for the Rockets' contract with peace of mind."

"Our staff will sign you immediately after the draft."

Shen Fei said lightly.

"Okay, with your words, even if a team drafts me in the second round, I will refuse."

Jeremy Lin replied seriously.

"Okay, then we'll see you the day after tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Shen Fei hung up the phone.

[In this way, the position of point guard is basically no problem. ]

[Bought Brooks after a while, let Lowry serve as the starter, and Brother Hao played as a substitute. ]

Shen Fei thought in his heart.

He believes that with the buff of [Spiritual Time Room], the Rockets' point guard reserves will soon become the best in the league.

"Now, just wait for the draft with peace of mind."

Shen Fei muttered to himself.

Two days later, the NBA Draft arrived as scheduled.

The world's best basketball talents gathered together, and today is the day their dreams come true!

NBA Commissioner - David - Stern stood on the stage, his face kindly announced the start of the draft.

Although this year's draft is a small year, there are also many rookies who are considered to have star potential.

The favorite for the No. [-] pick-John Wall, has unrivaled speed and explosive physical fitness.

The small forward from Ohio State University - Evan Turner, has comprehensive skills, and the template is the former scoring champion McGrady!

In addition, Wall's teammate in Kentucky-DeMarcus Cousins, and Georgia Tech's insider-Derrick Favors are favored by many people in the industry.

To put it simply, although the overall quality of this year's rookies is mediocre, the top few are still very good.

At the same time, far away in Houston, Shen Feian was sitting in the general manager's office, watching the progress of the draft through live broadcast via satellite.

"No. [-] pick, the Washington Wizards select—John Wall!"

"Second pick, Philadelphia 76ers pick - Evan Turner!"

......

"Fifth pick, the Sacramento Kings choose - DeMarcus Cousins!"

Seeing that the development of things was no different from the previous life, Shen Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, his cell phone rang.

"Manager, now we have to report the final selection. We are sure to choose Paul George, right?"

The assistant confirmed again.

"Correct."

Shen Fei was simple and direct, and gave a clear answer.

Soon, Stern took the note he handed over and spoke slowly:

"With the 10th pick, the Houston Rockets select...Paul George from Cal State Fresno!"

The next moment, the on-site director focused the camera on George with a green face.

George took the Rockets cap with a smile on his face, walked onto the stage, and took a photo with David Stern.

Looking at this scene, Shen Fei clenched his fists excitedly.

Although George is not like James and Durant, he was also one of the best small forwards in the league at his peak.

It is still unknown how far he would have grown without that tragic fracture.

But in any case, George is completely enough to become a jigsaw puzzle for the championship team!

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

At the same time, Bird, who was sitting in Indiana, was also watching the draft.

When he saw that the Rockets chose Paul George, he immediately realized that he seemed to be cheated by Fei Shen.

What about Aminu? ? ?

How did I choose my favorite Paul George? ? ?

"No reason!"

Byrd slammed the table hard.

He has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and now that he is old, he was tricked by a fledgling young man?
