Legendary basketball manager

Another wet night...

In the morning, Shen Fei woke up naturally early as usual.

After bowing his head and kissing the beauty's forehead, he quickly got up, hummed a little tune and started breakfast.

Since time travel, Shen Fei hasn't cooked breakfast.

But in his previous life, with his good cooking skills, he managed to handle the stomachs of many girls.

Not long after, Ajiali also woke up from her sleep, but found that there was no figure of Shen Fei beside her.

"fly?"

Ajiali yelled, then got out of bed, and walked towards the kitchen listening to the faint sound.

"Really, it's so hard every time..."

Ajiali muttered as she walked.

But when she was complaining, her face was full of happiness, and she didn't mean to complain at all.

"Wake up? Wash up and come have breakfast."

As soon as Ajiali walked into the kitchen, Shen Fei noticed the sound behind him, turned his head and said.

"En!" Ajiali said, stepped forward, and put her arms around Shen Fei's waist from behind: "Hug me before going."

Shen Fei smiled slightly, and turned around to put the prepared breakfast on a plate.

This quiet morning, warm and beautiful...

After breakfast, the two had a tender moment, and then Shen Fei left.

He still has a lot of things to do, and he can't stay with Ajiali all the time.

And the other side is also in a similar situation.

At present, Ranadive has basically handed over the management rights of the Kings to Ajiali, allowing the latter to fully manage the team.

Regarding this point, Shen Fei was still somewhat surprised.

Because in the original time and space, Ajiali had never been in power.

In other words, this is another butterfly effect caused by Shen Fei's crossing.

"This change is interesting..."

Shen Fei who was sitting on the private jet muttered.

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

The flight back to Houston from Sacramento was not a long one.

During the journey, Shen Fei received a text message from Mai Di.

"Hi, boss, I want to talk to you about something, when will you be free?"

Shen Fei didn't know what McGrady wanted to talk about, but he still replied: "Tomorrow morning, come to my office and talk."

In less than a minute, McGrady quickly replied: "Okay, I will see you at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Shen Fei didn't come back, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Judging by McGrady's tone, it seems that there is something important that needs to be discussed, not ordinary chatting.

However, there are only a few possibilities for actively asking to see the boss during the offseason...

One is to talk about contract renewal.

McGrady signed with a basic salary in the offseason, which certainly does not meet his current worth.

But the matter of salary increase is a certainty, and Shen Fei is definitely not a stingy person.

Will t-mac be so anxious about this matter?

From the perspective of getting along with each other this season, Shen Fei thinks that it shouldn't be...

The second is to apply for transactions.

This is even more impossible...

McGrady has just won everything in the Rockets, and he has no reason to apply to leave the team at this time.

The Rockets gave him an absolute core position and provided him with the perfect configuration so that he can fully display his talents.

With another team, McGrady may still get good data, but the team's record is impossible to be as good as the Rockets.

In a word, Shen Fei does not believe that Tracy McGrady will leave such a high-quality team as the Rockets at the golden age of 30 years old.

Both possibilities were denied, and Shen Fei couldn't figure out Mai Di's plan for a while.

[You can't plan to retire, you want to tell me in person? ]

Shen Fei thought to himself, but then he shook his head again.

No injury, is at the peak... Under such circumstances, why does Tracy McGrady choose to retire?

With doubts, Shen Fei waited for t-mac's arrival in the office the next day.

Maddie came on time and was dressed more formally.

As soon as they met, the two hugged and greeted for a while like old friends.

"After one season, how do you feel now?"

Shen Fei asked with a smile.

"It's like a dream... I wake up every day and wonder if I'm in a dream."

"All these honors came too fast."

Maddie said with a sigh.

In just one year, he has jumped from a fallen star and a marginal player in the league to a double mvp...

With such a dramatic rise, I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to write about it in novels!

"You deserve it all. This season, you are the best player in the league."

Shen Fei said with certainty.

McGrady smiled when he heard this, and the upturned corners of his mouth revealed that he was very grateful for Shen Fei's praise.

"So, why are you looking for me so anxiously this time?"

Shen Fei changed the topic and got to the point.

Maddie immediately put away his smile, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Boss, I'm here to submit my resignation letter, I think...I want to retire!"

Shen Fei was shocked when he heard this.

Yesterday's random speculation turned out to be a prophecy.

But... why?

"Did something happen?"

Shen Fei asked seriously.

"You know, in the last game of the finals, I returned to the game after finishing the closed game."

"After the game, I was worried that my back injury would continue to deteriorate, so I went to the hospital for a review."

Maddie explained.

"Well, I know about it. When you closed the door, I was by the side."

Shen Fei was still puzzled, but he already had a vague guess in his heart.

Only a handful of people know about McGrady's closure.

In the team, except for head coach Mark Jackson, the Rockets' other players were completely unaware.

They only thought that McGrady endured the pain and came back to help the team compete for the championship.

What the team doctor and McGrady himself know is that in their perception, McGrady took a great risk to play closed.

Only Shen Fei knew that Mai Di was very safe during the whole process.

Back in the game he was in the healthiest body in the world!

But now what McGrady means is clearly-I played closed, so I want to retire.

Thinking of this, Shen Fei couldn't help showing a puzzled look.

"The result of the re-examination was beyond my expectation. The doctor said that my body is very healthy, and there is no trace of injury on my back."

"But after I explained the situation, he told me that my back injury could repeat at any time, and this time it was just pure luck."

Maddie went on to explain.

After hearing this, Shen Fei called him a good guy...

Feelings, the doctor gave McGrady a wrong conclusion, which led him to want to retire!

"Boss, you probably don't know what a back injury feels like... the first time I had a back injury a few years ago, I was in a hospital bed for three days and couldn't even sit up."

"I don't want to live this kind of worry and fear anymore. I still hope that I can live and act normally after I retire."

"The intensity of the NBA is so high, and my back injury may occur at any time, the risk is really too great..."

McGrady expressed his thoughts frankly.

For t-mac's worry, Shen Fei can fully understand.

Now McGrady has won most of the honors that a player can get!

It is very normal for subtle changes in mentality to occur.

Shen Fei doesn't like to force others, but he appreciates McGrady very much, so he still said: "If what you are worried about is injury, I can promise you that every season in the future, you will be able to play with a healthy attitude." .”

Shen Fei's words were very arrogant, I am afraid that no one in the world would dare to make such a guarantee except him.

In other words, if someone else said this sentence, it would definitely be regarded as a lie.

"I know your ability, boss. But I have got everything now, and I am very content! What I should do now, to use your old Huaxia saying, is... to retreat bravely."

"Now, I want to bring my talent to the baseball field."

Maddie said with a smile.

Like Jordan, t-mac also has a baseball dream, and he plays much better than Jordan.

As soon as Shen Fei heard that McGrady had planned what to do after retirement, he understood that the other party had made up his mind to go, and immediately gave up persuading him.

Moreover, after a short period of doubt, Shen Fei could also understand McGrady's mentality.

Basketball is not all of life, there are many things more important than basketball.

Like... health!

From McGrady's point of view, he doesn't have a system, and he doesn't believe in the existence of a system.

Therefore, when the doctor told him that the back injury was incurable and advised him to avoid high-intensity sports, it was a wise choice for McGrady to choose to retire at the most glorious moment of his career!

"Okay... Now that you've made up your mind, I support you."

Shen Fei smiled slightly, and agreed to Mai Di's request.

"However, the fans will definitely be reluctant to part with you. They still don't know how you returned to the court in the finals. I'm afraid you have to explain it clearly."

Shen Fei continued.

McGrady nodded, this is his job.

The Rockets fans are still in the joy of winning the championship, but the top card in the team suddenly announced his retirement...

This impact on them is absolutely huge!

If it is not explained clearly, all kinds of weird speculations and even conspiracy theories may appear.

Therefore, McGrady needs to find a way to explain the cause of the matter clearly to the fans.

"Well, after a while, I will arrange a formal press conference."

"When you retire, your jersey will also be retired, and it will hang above our new arena."

Shen Fei planned.

McGrady also knew that the team was building a new arena, and Dang even agreed.

"Unfortunately, I don't have a chance to play a game in the new arena..."

Maddie smiled and shook his head.

"How could there be no chance? There is a high probability that the All-Star Game will be played in our new arena next season. Then come and participate in the Masters Game."

"It just helped me increase my enthusiasm, "McGrady announced to participate in the opening game of the 'China Times' arena!", the title is eye-catching."

Shen Fei's mind turned quickly, and he immediately thought of an idea.

When McGrady heard that he could help Shen Fei, and the intensity of the Masters Tournament was very low, it was unlikely to cause injuries, so he readily agreed.

So far, the rocket era of t-mac has come to an end...

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

After seeing off McGrady, Shen Fei took out the "players to pay attention to the form" he made earlier, and silently deleted McGrady's name from "Stay in the team".

[McGrady is gone, and the dual-core next season will become Yao Ming and Curry...]

[Curry, Jeremy, George, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming, this is the starting lineup at the beginning of the season. ]

Shen Fei wrote and drew, and drew up a new list.

As for why it was the starting lineup at the beginning of the season, it was naturally because of Leonard, the player Shen Fei was determined to win.

With the buff blessing of [Spiritual Time House], it won't take long for Xiaoka to reach a very high level.

Although George is good and handsome in playing, there is still a big gap between him and Brother Kazi in terms of strength.

The peak Leonard, but almost brought the "old, weak, sick and disabled" of the Spurs, overturning the existence of the peak warriors!

Perhaps in less than half a season, Kaka will be able to grab the starting small forward position from George.

The Rockets' new lineup, at first glance, does not seem to be as good as this season.

But the actual situation is not the case!

Next season, Curry is bound to undergo a qualitative change again, and it is likely that he will reach his peak level in the third grade.

After all, in the original time and space, after Curry won the championship for the first time in 15 years, he soared into the sky, and has since secured the throne of the top three players in the league!

And this sitting is 7-8 years...

Until Shen Fei crossed, the 35-year-old Curry was still one of the best players in the league!

Jeremy Lin and his partner have Irving's control skills and are free from injuries...

Shuhao's upper limit and lower limit are definitely much, much higher than the original time and space himself!

These two are both strong offensive and defensive types.

But their offensive firepower is too strong, strong enough to be ignored, their lack of defensive end!

In addition, George (Leonard) and Yi Jianlian on the front line are both defensive gates, which can greatly make up for the weakness of Curry and Jeremy on the defensive end.

In addition, Yao Ming is a pillar in the interior... The future of the Rockets is still very bright!

Even if the team's core and double mvp suddenly retires, it can't change this!

"There are not many people on the roster. Next, we need to find new players and prepare to sign..."

Shen Fei muttered to himself.

Soon, he set two goals for himself.

One is to prepare for the draft.Leonard and Klay Thompson are the Rockets' biggest targets this year.

The second is to inspect Chinese players and try to sign 2-3 more to add to the Rockets.

The first goal is easy to accomplish because the Rockets have two lottery picks in the previous trade.

But the second goal is much more troublesome.

It is not difficult to investigate Chinese players, but it is extremely difficult to find Chinese players who can gain a foothold in the NBA (the few who can play are all in the Rockets).

The only way is to find talented Huaxia players, and then use the skill packs given by the system to strengthen them.

But the problem is that the skill pack is attached to the system task, and Shen Fei can't get it stably, so he can only wait passively.

At present, he only has one [Legendary Skill Pack] left in his hand, but this skill pack has already been determined to be given to Zhou Qi.

And Zhou Qi will not turn 18 next year, so it is impossible to represent the Rockets.

So it's imperative to get more skill packs!

"What should I do..."

Shen Fei lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and fell into deep thought.

Just as he was thinking hard, a cold metallic sound suddenly sounded in Shen Fei's mind...
