Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 667 Staying overnight, no problem, right?

When the two arrived, Shen Fei hadn't come to the arena, and the assistant coach of the Rockets received them.

The assistant brought the two to Mark Jackson.

"Let me introduce you. You should be familiar with this, right? Mark, the head coach of our Rockets?"

"Coach, this is the kid the boss mentioned—Kyle Anderson."

Chen Zhili introduced.

Mark Jackson looked Anderson up and down.

Sledgehammer is still growing, about two meters tall.

His limbs are slender, his arms reach his knees, and his hands are quite big. At first glance, he looks like a good seed for playing basketball.

"Okay, the boss has explained that today you can participate in training with Zhou Qi and let him lead you."

Mark Jackson said with a smile, then turned around and cast his gaze on Zhou Qi not far away.

The big devil is stretching right now, preparing for the next training.

"week!"

Mark Jackson yelled.

After hearing this, Zhou Qi pointed at himself with his right index finger.

After confirming that the coach was calling him, he immediately got up and walked towards them.

Anderson has never met or heard of Zhou Qi.

At a simple glance, there is only surprise in my heart.

Now Zhou Qi, after more than a month of training in the [Spiritual Time Room], his body has gradually "alphabetized".

With a height of 2 meters (still growing), super long wingspan, and the most important thing... a whole body of tendons!

Yes, with the [mvp Antetokounmpo Skill Pack], Zhou Qi's physical dimension has skyrocketed, and now it has nothing to do with "Bamboo Pole" and "Bone Essence"!

With his height and his muscles, when he walked towards him, he gave people an invisible sense of oppression!

"This is the Chinese player Zhou Qi who was invited by our boss to train with the Rockets this year. He is only 17 years old this year, and he is a very talented player,"

Mark Jackson introduced with a smile.

Hearing the coach's praise, Zhou Qi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and smiled innocently.

When Anderson heard it, his heart was overwhelmed.

[This Nima is 17 years old?The nutrient solution is so good, this person's physical fitness feels like he can play in the NBA!No... It should be said that he is already in better shape than many players in the NBA! ]

Sledgehammer thought to himself.

"This is Kyle Anderson, the boss invited him to come over for training today."

"He has one-eighth of Chinese blood, and you are also half fellows."

"Zhou, you will train with Kyle today. If there is anything he doesn't understand, you have to explain it to him carefully. If you can't answer it, come and ask me."

Mark Jackson asked.

"Okay, coach."

"Hello, Kyle."

Zhou Qi greeted with a smile.

"Nihao, Zhou."

Anderson showed off his Mandarin again.

Zhou Qi was immediately amused by Sledge Hammer's slightly accented Mandarin.

Zhou Qi was a little surprised that Anderson had Chinese blood.

But upon closer inspection, there were indeed traces of Chinese people in Anderson's eyebrows and eyes, but they were not very obvious.

Afterwards, Zhou Qi took Anderson with him and started training.

The training intensity of the Rockets is still very high.

Zhou Qi has been practicing more recently, and his physical fitness is already good, so there is no problem following him all the way.

Sledgehammer is even worse.

When the training progressed to the third item, he was a little out of breath.

Halfway through the process, Mark Jackson could already tell he was running out of energy.

Just at this time, the door of the arena was opened, and a young Asian man in a casual suit walked in.

Needless to say, the person who came was naturally Shen Fei.

As soon as Shen Fei appeared, the players immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Good morning boss!"

"Boss, why are you here?"

"Boss, do you want to shoot two baskets?"

......

Shen Fei looked around at the crowd, and waved his hands in response one by one.

It's just that the warm and innocent smile was missing from the crowd, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Everyone, keep training, don't worry about me."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

The players quickly returned to training in full swing.

Shen Fei walked to the side of Mark Jackson, ready to observe the training with the latter.

"How is it, how is Kyle practicing?"

Shen Fei asked.

"I observed it just now. The young man's basic skills are good, but his physical fitness is still a bit lacking. Generally speaking, he should be a good seed."

Mark Jackson replied seriously.

"Well, the physical fitness is really not up to the NBA team's training, you see he is panting now..." Shen Fei smiled and looked in the direction of Zhou Qi and Sledgehammer and said: "Call Anderson over, let's chat, Take a break by the way."

Mark Jackson nodded, and went to help call the sledgehammer to Shen Fei's side.

"Hello, Kyle, let's sit and talk in the next seat."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

When Anderson saw Shen Fei, little stars appeared in his eyes, he nodded repeatedly, and followed Shen Fei to the bench.

"I heard you are called Chen Zhili, Brother Chen? Then you can call me Brother Chen, or Brother Fei."

Shen Fei's tone was gentle, and he took the initiative to draw closer.

"Okay, Fei... Brother Fei."

Anderson was a little shy, nodded and shouted.

"How is it, how does this training feel?"

Shen Fei asked.

"It's cool! It's tiring and refreshing. I can't quite get used to it now. If I can participate in it a few more times, I think I will slowly catch up with the rhythm."

As soon as training was mentioned, Anderson relaxed a lot and replied excitedly.

"Okay, let's join in a few more times."

"As long as you have nothing to do in high school, you can come to train, and I can arrange a special driver to pick you up."

Shen Fei said immediately.

In the beautiful country, the team cannot provide financial help to the students, otherwise they will be punished heavily.

If the team is particularly optimistic about a certain player, at most it will provide pick-up and some basketball equipment.

"Can you? I would like to come!"

Anderson was overjoyed.

The Rockets' coaching staff and trainers are among the top in the industry.

The effect of training here will undoubtedly be better than that of the high school team.

Anderson believes that if he can continue to train with the Rockets, he can definitely improve by leaps and bounds!

Shen Fei smiled slightly, and changed the subject: "By the way, Kyle, I heard from Chen Zhili that you have Chinese blood?"

"My great-grandfather was from Huaxia. To me, it seems that he still has one-eighth of his blood."

Sledgehammer replied seriously.

Shen Fei nodded and continued:

"It's like this. I've watched a lot of videotapes of your high school three years. I admire your style of play, and your style of play is something that doesn't exist in the Chinese men's basketball team."

"If the time is right in the future, I would like to invite you to join the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team."

Shen Fei's tone was sincere, adopting the "straight ball" mode, without concealment.

"Join the Huaxia men's basketball team? But I'm a beautiful Chinese?"

Anderson obviously hadn't considered this question, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"You were indeed born in the beautiful country, but as long as you have Chinese blood, I can find a way to naturalize you to China."

"Of course, the premise is that you have such a will."

"There is no rush for this matter. You can think about it slowly after you go home, or you can discuss it with your family."

Shen Fei knew very well that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he didn't push Anderson too hard, and Shen Fei didn't even mention what reward the other party would get after agreeing.

"Okay, I will definitely think about it!"

Anderson nodded obediently.

He knew that his parents liked Chinese culture very much, and even planned to bring him back to visit relatives during the holidays.

But changing his nationality is a big deal after all, he is a high school student, and he can't decide for himself.

"Okay, then you have a good rest and continue training."

"The training is over. If there is anyone who wants to sign, just go over and ask for it. If you don't give it to you, I will beat him."

Shen Fei said jokingly.

He learned from Chen Zhili that Anderson became a loyal fan of the Rockets last season.

When fans meet idols, can't they ask for an autograph or a group photo?

"Thank you Phineas!"

Anderson thanked.

"Okay, I still have something to do, let's go first, you train hard."

After finishing speaking, Shen Fei turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

Anderson called to stop Shen Fei who was about to leave.

Shen Fei turned around and looked at him suspiciously.

"I want your autograph, Phineas!"

Anderson said seriously.

Sledgehammer likes several players in the Rockets.

But the one I like the most is the general manager Shen Fei!

As soon as the two met, Anderson wanted to sign, but felt that the timing was not right, so he held back.

Just now, Shen Fei said that he could ask for an autograph after the training, Sledgehammer was very excited, and planned to ask Shen Fei to sign it as soon as the training was over.

Unexpectedly, Shen Fei was about to leave after speaking.

Anderson could only quickly call to stop him.

"Okay, come and sign."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

Anderson seems to have been prepared.

He trotted to the sideline immediately, took out a pen from his bag, then ran in front of Shen Fei, then turned around and bent down, letting Shen Fei sign his name on the back of the jersey.

"come on."

After signing, Shen Fei patted Anderson on the back as a sign of encouragement, and then left.

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

In the following period of time, Sledgehammer often came to the Toyota Center Arena to train with the Rockets.

Competing with masters made his level rise rapidly.

Coupled with the addition of [Spiritual Time Room], Anderson was able to complete all the training items after one month!

The only fly in the ointment is that Sledgehammer is not strong enough to participate in the Rockets' team training game.

Every time it came to the match, he sat next to Mark Jackson and watched the game quietly.

In Anderson's eyes, the Rockets on the field looked like monsters.

As long as Curry has passed halftime, he can shoot a three-pointer at any time, and his long-range shooting percentage is surprisingly high!

Yao Ming, who is 2 meters tall, is a pillar of the sky. What's even more outrageous is that he has a beautiful shot on such a high foundation.

This undoubtedly made the players defending him even more desperate!

Paul George has both offense and defense, full of oppression on the defensive end, enjoys a silky offense when attacking, and from time to time can come up with a stunning dunk.

Of course... the best dunk in the Rockets is Blake Griffin.

Only by watching closely at the scene can you know how terrifying Griffin's explosive power is!

One step in from the free throw line, as long as you give him a little space... the next moment, Griffin can rise from the ground and hit the sky!

Leonard and Sun Yue gave Sledgehammer a new understanding of the concept of "defense".

To sum up, for Anderson, it seems that only Thornton and Salmons are "normal" in the Rockets, and everyone else is a monster!

In addition, the communication with Zhou Qi, Yao Ming and other Chinese players is also a daily activity of Sledgehammer during this period.

Yao Ming knew Shen Fei's plan, so he secretly contributed, and from time to time told Anderson some benefits of becoming a Chinese nationality.

Sledgehammer and his family did not exclude this matter.

Coupled with the kind invitation from Shen Fei and others, Anderson also agreed to naturalization before the start of the preseason.

Sledgehammer sent a text message directly to tell Shen Fei.

When Shen Fei saw the text message, he was also very happy, and immediately synchronized the message with China Basketball Association.

The Chairman of the Basketball Association - Yu Zaiqing, under Shen Fei's Amway, also has some understanding of Kyle Anderson, knowing that Sledgehammer will at least be the starting level of the NBA team in the future.

Such a player is naturally what the Huaxia men's basketball team needs.

Moreover, Sledgehammer has Chinese ancestry, and the acceptance of domestic fans must be higher than those of those beautiful countries.

At that time, as long as you have a little rhythm on the Internet, the fans will definitely welcome Anderson to join!

"Xiao Fei, don't worry, I will contact the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office now and ask them to help with Anderson's citizenship."

"Before the start of next year's Olympic Games, he definitely already has Chinese nationality and can play normally."

Yu Zaiqing promised.

"Okay, then please Brother Yu."

Shen Fei said lightly.

"By the way, how is Zhou Qi doing recently? Can he adapt to the intensity of the Rockets' training?"

Yu Zaiqing asked with concern.

Little is known about Kyle Anderson.

But for Zhou Qi, Yu Zaiqing still knows a lot.

If Zhou Qi can continue his dominance at the youth level, the Huaxia men's basketball team will be able to add another inside leader in the future!

"He...he has improved a lot recently. When he first came to Houston, he was as thin as a bamboo pole, and his physical fitness couldn't keep up."

"But now, Zhou Qi has undergone a qualitative change."

"Next year's Olympics, he will be our secret weapon."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

"That's good! Then I'll just wait for the good news!"

Yu Zaiqing didn't ask any more questions, hung up the phone happily, and then went to contact the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office.

And Shen Fei was also in a good mood after hanging up the phone.

Just at this moment, Ajiali called.

"Xiao Feifei, did you miss me today?!"

As soon as Ajiali got on the phone, she said a fierce girl acting like a baby.

"Ahem... yes, yes."

Shen Fei responded with a smile.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I called you so late to ask you some questions about the team."

Ajali continued.

"You said."

Shen Fei said lightly.

"During this time, our team has been training together."

"After Roy and Lowry joined, I feel that the team is complete at once, and the quality of team training has improved a lot."

"The tricky thing now is...the two rookies selected this year are very good. Thomas Jr. has already determined to play the role of the sixth man. The key lies in the use of Butler."

Ajiali described it seriously.

"You're debating whether to start with Butler or Battier, right?"

Shen Fei guessed.

"Yes! Currently, Battier is definitely stronger than Butler."

"But in the long run, the position of starting small forward must be given to Butler."

"What I struggle with is, should I put him in the starting lineup at the beginning of the season?"

Ajali asked.

"Let's put the substitute lineup first, but the playing time of each game can be arranged more."

Shen Fei thought for a moment and gave his own answer.

"You mean, let Battier play a fake starter, so that although Butler is a substitute, his playing time is enough."

Ajiali confirmed.

"Yes, it's good for both of us."

Shen Fei said lightly.

He gave this suggestion based on the perspective of a traveler.

Butler is not that kind of talent player.

It will take a long time for him to realize his talent.

Shen Fei knew that Ajiali wanted the king to return to the playoffs as soon as possible.

Starting from this goal, it is obviously a better choice to let Battier start.

"Okay, in this case, our starting lineup is: Lowry, Roy, Battier, Scola and Cousins."

"Fei, do you think this lineup can make it to the playoffs?"

Ajali asked expectantly.

"of course."

Shen Fei gave the answer without hesitation.

"Then...the Kings' preseason opener the day after tomorrow, would you like to watch it with me?"

Ajiali changed the subject, and suddenly proposed an invitation.

"Okay, I'll go to Sacramento to find you after the Rockets' first stop tomorrow."

"It's okay to stay overnight, right?"

Shen Fei asked with a smile.

"Well... my lion recently learned another side flip, and I just show it to you."
