Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 665 New target - Kyle Anderson!

Kyle Anderson - a man known as "Sledgehammer", "Time Lord", "Essence of Human Creep"!

He was born in 1993 and is still in high school. According to the original time and space, he will join UCLA next year.

Originally, Shen Fei was not in a hurry to get in touch with Anderson.

But now, Ding Yan Yuhang's talent seems not enough to meet Shen Fei's expectation.

Shen Fei will definitely find a way to help Xiaoding.

But he is cautious by nature, and it is impossible to put all eggs in the same basket.

In case Ding Yan Yuhang still cannot make a qualitative leap after using the skill pack, then Shen Fei's plan will be disrupted.

Therefore, he could only put Anderson's matter on the agenda in advance.

Kyle Anderson's talent must be higher than that of Ding Yan Yuhang.

Shen Fei clearly remembered that Anderson had become one of the core players of the Timberwolves before he crossed over.

If he is given a starting position, Anderson can steadily contribute a comprehensive data of about 12+7+7.

Although his level has not touched the threshold of the All-Star, it is enough to become a good piece of the puzzle for the championship team.

It is definitely more than enough for Anderson to be the sixth man of the Chinese national team!

Not to mention, Shen Fei can also use the system to help him continue to improve his strength and make him a stronger player than in the original time and space.

With this in mind, Shen Fei took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Chen Zhili.

The content of the text message is very simple, it is to ask Chen Zhili to find a way to find Kyle Anderson and offer him an olive branch.

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

"Kyle is the rookie we'll draft next year, and it's supposed to be his senior season."

"After you find Kyle, find a way to invite him to visit the Rockets, and ask him about his attitude towards China by the way."

Chen Zhili looked at the content of the text message with a puzzled expression.

Ask a beautiful Chinese about his attitude towards China?

What is the point of doing this?

"I can't figure it out... Forget it, don't think about it, just investigate and find out."

Chen Zhili murmured, then turned on the computer and began to search for Kyle Anderson's name on major basketball platforms.

The basketball information in the beautiful country is very developed.

Some talented players will participate in professional regional competitions at an early age.

They often get attention in junior high school, or even elementary school.

And there is a very interesting saying in the NBA-every player in the NBA, even a half-player player, is Jordan in their respective stories.

In other words, these guys are the best basketball players in their respective regions.

It is too easy to find their information.

Soon, Chen Zhili found Anderson's information.

He is indeed from San Antonio and is now studying at

Regarding the data on the basketball court, he glanced over it.

The data of high school competitions does not represent everything.

After all, many five-star high school students, even the "No. [-] high school students in the United States", couldn't even make it to the NBA in the end.

But an inconspicuous piece of information made Chen Zhili dumbfounded, and instantly understood Shen Fei's intentions - Kyle Anderson actually has one-eighth of Chinese blood!

His maternal grandmother, Marian Foreman, is half-Chinese.

And Marianne's father - Samuel Lee, Anderson's great-grandfather, is a pure Chinese!

"Boss is trying to naturalize Anderson?"

Chen Zhili murmured in surprise.

He is not surprised that Shen Fei wants to continue to naturalize foreign players like Jeremy Lin.

After all, the goal of helping the Huaxia men's basketball team win the Olympic gold medal is too difficult, and it is impossible to succeed without some external force.

What surprised Chen Zhili was how Shen Fei found such a high school student who not only has Chinese blood, but also has good basketball potential!

After all, Anderson's performance in high school was not outstanding.

If you don't look for it deliberately, it is difficult to pay attention to him among so many "monster high school students" in the beautiful country.

"Are the Rockets' scouts so good? Even high school games are so clear..."

Chen Zhili sighed.

After finishing his homework, he already understood his mission.

Anderson is currently attending St. Anthony High School in New Jersey.

Tomorrow morning, Chen Zhili will fly to New Jersey to meet the high school student that Shen Fei named!

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

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Shen Fei had just bid farewell to Ajiali (going back to Sacramento to handle family affairs), and returned to his villa.

After a brief wash, Shen Fei, as usual, walked to the window sill with a glass of red wine, thinking about life in front of the moonlight.

After the two summer league games, he is not worried about the Rockets' new season.

It won't be long before Xiaoka and Clay will gradually show their strength.

Around the middle of the season, the duo will be at an All-Star level!

Both are versatile players who can attack and defend well, and are very good at supporting jobs.

Like Xiaoka, in the original time and space, he assisted the GDP combination in the Spurs for several years, and also helped the team defeat the Big Three Heat and win the championship.

And Thompson, who formed the Splash Brothers with Curry in the original time and space, has helped the Warriors survive countless times in adversity.

But in normal times, Clay can always assist Curry very well, allowing the latter to have the confidence to sway on the court.

The "green leaf" attributes of the two made Shen Fei not worry about whether they could adapt to the Rockets' tactical system.

In other words, there is no system that these two cannot adapt to!

And their appearance can well make up for the vacancy left by McGrady's retirement and Roy's departure.

Perhaps, in terms of absolute talent, Xiaoka and Clay are not as good as McGrady and Roy.

But in terms of help to the team, as long as these two rookies grow up, they will not be inferior to T-Mac and Yellow Mamba!

"This year we will focus on cultivating Chinese players. Shuhao will definitely start. When the Olympics are over, Clay will basically reach his peak level. Next year he will be able to mention the starting shooting guard."

Shen Fei murmured.

The Rockets' starting lineup for this season was actually decided very early-Curry, Jeremy, George, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming.

After halfway through the season, Leonard gradually grows, and he may replace George's starting position.

And the position of Roy's sixth man can just be handed over to Clay.

At that time, Curry and Shu Hao can "stagger to work" and each bring a substitute to play for a while.

And Thompson can perfectly fit any one of them!

In the next season, without the pressure of system tasks, Xiaoka and Clay will also reach the peak.

At that time, the Rockets' starting lineup can be adjusted to: Curry, Clay, Leonard, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

Moreover, at that time, there will be another Zhou Qi in the team who uses letters as a template!

Coupled with George, Oden, Griffin and other powerful rookies...

The Rockets' lineup will be very terrifying, with both offense and defense, and almost no weaknesses!

Thinking of this, the corners of Shen Fei's mouth could not help but rise slightly.

But he also understands that these are all things to come.

The most important thing now is to do everything possible to continue to help the Huaxia men's basketball team accumulate strength!

At this time, a breeze blew by.

Shen Fei suddenly felt sleepy, so he drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, then turned off the lights and went to bed.

Before going to bed, he flicked his phone for a while.

If you don't brush, you don't know, and you will be shocked by swiping.

Due to the outstanding performance in the previous two games, several rookies of the Rockets have sparked a lot of discussions on major social media.

Among them, Leonard's defensive highlights in the two games have received the most attention.

Two games, less than 40 minutes of playing time combined...

In such a short period of time, Leonard's defensive highlights are as long as 2 minutes!

You know, some players may not be able to make up such a long defensive collection after playing for a season...

In the highlights, there are not only Leonard's one-on-one airtight single defense, but also his precise steals after predicting the passing route.

But what fans talk about the most is naturally Xiaoka's almost "robbery" steals against the ball holder!

"It's outrageous. A No. [-] pick like Derek Williams is like a child in front of him!"

"Yeah, poor Derek, being played by Kawhi in the palm of his hand."

"Such a strong visual effect, but the movement is surprisingly clean... Such defenders are really rare!"

"Upstairs got the point. The scariest thing about Kawhi is that he can guarantee a high-intensity defense while rarely being called for fouls. Like the second game, he had 3 steals, but he was fouled for a single foul. No! This is simply a phenomenal defensive performance!"

"I have to say that Shen Fei has picked a treasure again. But even if I am a Heat fan, I will not say that he was lucky enough to pick Leonard. They just have the ability to discern the bead. These players are the Rockets. Deserved."

.....

Of course, some people think that Xiaoka's performance cannot continue.

"It's time to boast, but don't boast too much... Now he has only played two summer league games. In this kind of game, the players who play are either rookies or NBA abandoners. Can Leonard bring the quality of defense to the fore? In the NBA race, it is still unknown."

"It is impossible to switch to the NBA. I have watched the game for so many years, and I have never seen such an exaggerated defensive effect. Even Artest couldn't do it back then. The only one that is close may be 'Glove' Pei Payton, but many of Payton's defensive actions are on the verge of fouling. If he defends as cleanly as Leonard, he may not be able to achieve such an effect."

"I think it means that there are too many rookies in the summer league, which makes Leonard's defense look so exaggerated. It doesn't even need to be in the regular season. In the next preseason, he will meet those NBA veterans. Fried dough sticks, it is impossible to have this kind of performance in the collection.”

......

Seeing the fans insist on their opinions, Shen Fei also shook his head with a smile.

These suffice to say that Leonard can't bring the defense to the NBA game...

The future will definitely be slapped in the face!

And it's going to be beaten hard!

Of course, Shen Fei would not laugh at these fans either.

After all, people didn't open their eyes.

If you only watched the two summer league games, you can be forgiven for not believing this dull-faced young man.

Then, Fei Shen continued to browse Twitter.

The names of Klay Thompson, Bojan, and Parsons have also been mentioned many times.

For a while, the fans' evaluation of the Rockets changed again.

The well-known ESPN commentator-a-Smith even wrote in his personal Twitter:

"Although I have only played two summer league games, I dare to say boldly that the biggest winner of this year's draft is the Houston Rockets!"

"In the first round and the second round, they each selected two wing players. At present, the four young people have very different styles and strengths. It seems that they all have a good chance to make a name for themselves in the NBA."

"I'm afraid, the magic of Shen Fei and the power of the Rockets will continue into this season!"

"Those who assert that the Rockets are gone this year, I'm afraid they will be disappointed."

Shen Fei saw so many beautiful words, but there was no disturbance in his heart.

Because just a week ago, there were too many criticisms against him on the Internet.

But just because of two summer league victories, public opinion seems to be on the Rockets side again...

Such a fickle public opinion environment, Shen Fei didn't care about it at all.

Just like what he thought before, as long as the Rockets continue to win, all controversies will naturally disappear!

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

Early the next morning, Chen Zhili sent a text message to Fei Shen, telling the latter that he had already set off to find Kyle Anderson.

Shen Fei simply replied with the word "yes", and then gave Chen Zhili a sum of money.

After Chen Zhili saw the number on the text message, he immediately felt full of energy.

"Don't worry boss, even if I knock Anderson unconscious, I have to bring him back to you!"

Chen Zhili swore silently.

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

That afternoon, Chen Zhili arrived in New Jersey.

After landing, he headed straight to a local arena.

Today, Anderson's San Antonio High School will play a game against another local high school in this arena.

When Chen Zhili arrived at the arena, the game had already started.

He found a seat in the stands and sat down, and then turned his attention to Anderson on the field.

After watching about one quarter of the game, Chen Zhili already had a certain understanding of Anderson's game.

The most intuitive feeling Anderson gave him was...slow!

Yes, even in high school, Anderson looked like he was "squirming" on the court.

But the strange thing is that even though he is "slow", his opponents have nothing to do with him.

Anderson is full of fakes and has a good rhythm off the dribble.

The players defending him tried their best, but they were still played around.

For example, in the fast break just now, Anderson took three steps slowly, preparing for a layup.

Defending him was a black player who seemed to have good physical talent.

Xiao Hei opened his teeth and claws, trying to snatch the ball, but was shaken by Anderson's change of rhythm, and flew out of the baseline. In the end, he could only watch Anderson complete the layup easily.

Seeing this scene, Chen Zhili couldn't help sighing:

"This kid's playing rhythm is completely different from others..."

"As expected of the player the boss likes, there is something!"

About an hour later, the game was over, and Anderson led his team to an easy victory.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Zhili immediately got up and walked towards the locker room.
