Legendary basketball manager

The halftime break ended quickly and the game resumed.

As soon as the second half came up, the Kings clearly decided to give it a try.

In the first round, Cousins ​​changed his previous style of play and pulled outside the three-point line to wait for an opportunity.

Lowry used the screen to break through and pass the ball to Kaoshen on the outside.

Yao Ming did not rush out, but retreated inside.

Cousins ​​went up and down and hit a three-pointer!

At 65:48, the Kings made a good start in the second half.

After 1 minute, they repeated their tricks.

This time, the passer was replaced by Roy.

He hit Shuhao in the low post, attracted the Rockets' double-team, then jumped up and passed the ball to Kaoshen who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

After receiving the ball, Cousins ​​​​did not shoot immediately, but patted the ball on the spot to adjust the rhythm.

This time, Yao Ming still only stretched out his hand symbolically in the distance, and did not get close to the interference.

......

......

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net again!

At 65:51, the point difference became 14 points.

At this time, the third quarter started less than 2 minutes ago, with a 14-point difference, the Kings had time to catch up!

On the sidelines, Mark Jackson frowned slightly.

He knew before the game that Cousins ​​had a certain three-point ability.

But judging from the scouting report, Kaoshen is not an excellent three-point shooter, averaging only 0.8 three-pointers per game.

But after only playing 2 minutes in the second half, he had already overfulfilled the task.

What Yao Ming is most afraid of is this kind of space-based insider.

If Cousins ​​can maintain his touch, the Rockets' defensive system is bound to be destroyed.

Or, if Yao Ming tried his best to save, the Rockets would only have Yi Jianlian to protect the frame inside.

Or, if Yao Ming continues to shrink to the basket, Cousins ​​may turn the tide of the game by relying on his fiery touch!

After much deliberation, Mark Jackson decided to let Yao Ming try to throw himself out to defend.

So, he gestured toward the field.

Yao Ming nodded knowingly when he saw it.

In the next round, the Kings, who had played well, wanted to repeat the same trick.

It's a pity that it wasn't Yao Ming's turn to make a shot this time, so Leonard judged the passing route and intercepted the ball halfway.

The Rockets took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.

In the counterattack, Curry scored the ball to Leonard who followed up.

Xiaoka broke into the inside, pushed Butler's defense away with his body, and made a tough layup!

67:51, the Rockets finally scored the first goal of the second half!

On the other side, Lowry urgently called his teammates together, and seriously asked:

"The No. 2 of the Rockets is very capable of grabbing. Whether we are dribbling or passing, we try to avoid him as much as possible."

"If you have to pass by him, you must be more careful!"

The king's generals nodded upon hearing this.

In this game, they have basically experienced how good Leonard is on the defensive end!

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

The game continues, the king's offensive round.

Roy played pick-and-roll tactics with Cousins ​​at the top of the arc on the right.

After the teardown, Cousins ​​quickly bounced outside the three-point line.

This time, Yao Ming followed and did a good job of delaying Roy's offense in the pick-and-roll.

But the Yellow Mamba wasn't thinking about attacking himself at all.

He found the right time, looked back at the moon with one move, and passed the ball back to Cousins.

Kaoshen catches the ball and shoots.

And Yao Ming has already rushed forward with all his strength, raising his long arms high, interfering with Cousins' sight!

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

Ah Lian jumped high, protected the rebound, and handed the ball to Jeremy Lin beside him.

Shuhao immediately speeded up and led his teammates to launch a counterattack!

Yao Ming, who was defending from outside the three-point line just now, also took long legs and headed straight for the king's hinterland.

Cousins ​​followed closely behind him, but was unable to complete the overtaking for a while.

Seeing this, Shuhao had an idea, flicked his wrist, and passed a lob directly to the king's penalty area.

The basketball flew over the heads of Yao Ming and Cousins.

After the two saw it, they both sped up their speed and ran towards the basketball's landing point.

I have to say that the pass was so beautiful that it surpassed Shu Hao's usual passing level!

After Yao Ming received the basketball, he stepped on the ground with his left foot and took off with one foot...

Cousins ​​tried his best to jump, but after jumping, he realized that he couldn't reach the basketball in Yao Ming's hands.

"bang!"

Yao Ming's powerful one-handed dunk made the arco arena instantly silent!

At 69:51, the point difference returned to 18 points.

In the next few rounds, the Kings still made a fuss about Yao Ming.

In addition to Cousins ​​shooting three-pointers from the outside, Roy and Lowry also tried "military training" Yao Ming.

Dayao was exhausted and played very hard.

Fortunately, he has lost a lot of weight in the past two years, and his pace is much faster than before.

The targeting of the Kings has had some effects, but it is not what they want.

Looking back, the Rockets still maintain a strong offensive firepower.

Two shots from the outside - Curry and Jeremy Lin attacked successively, and Leonard also staged two wonderful fadeaway jumpers.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was fixed at 90:69, and the Rockets still maintained a large lead.

In the last quarter, the Kings sent all their main players and struggled for another 5 minutes.

After finding that the point difference had remained at around 20 points, Mike Malone withdrew and replaced the main players.

The game thus entered garbage time.

In the last half of the quarter, the two teams sent all the players at the end of the bench.

For the Rockets, Parsons, Bo Yang, Sun Yue, Salmons, and Thornton played together and played a "small ball".

Five players with a height of about two meters made up a "weakened version" of the ultimate basketball lineup.

I never thought that this lineup performed well at the last moment.

On the defensive end, several players switched defenses indefinitely, and all of them defended from position one to position five.

And when attacking, they bloomed more.

Except for Sun Yue, the other four have a certain ability to attack with the ball.

Relying on this group of players at the end of the bench, the Rockets were not narrowed at the last moment, but won a few more points.

In the end, the Rockets beat the Kings by 125 points 120:25 away!

After this battle, the Rockets continued to occupy the top spot in the league.

When the season is about to pass halfway, they have already bared their fangs and become the number one seed to win this season!

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

Time flies, and it is February 1th in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Shen Fei received the news that the new arena of the Rockets - China Times Arena, was officially completed!

It happened that the Rockets didn't have a game today, so Shen Fei brought all the team members to visit the new arena.

Accompanying them was a photography team hired by Shen Fei at a high price.

"Photograph the process of our visit to capture the sense of technology and luxury of the new arena."

"We will edit the video later, and we will post today's vlog on the official Twitter."

Shen Fei instructed.

If you give money, you are the uncle.

The photography team naturally tried their best to meet Shen Fei's request.

Ever since, the group headed by Shen Fei set off!

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

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

The two chief designers of the "China Times Arena" -- Qin Xiaocheng and Alan Mobley -- waited early at the entrance of the arena, waiting for Shen Fei's arrival.

As soon as they saw Shen Fei, the two of them greeted each other very warmly.

"Don't be restrained, I brought a photography team here today, and the two of you will act as tour guides and give us a good introduction to the new arena."

Shen Fei said straight to the point.

"Okay, no problem, please come with us."

Mobley made a gesture of please as he spoke.

He and China designer Qin Xiaocheng are the chief designers of "China Times".

However, the focus of the two is not the same.

Qin Xiaocheng is mainly responsible for injecting Chinese elements into the arena, while Mobley is responsible for the overall design.

"This arena is called Huaxia Times Arena. After the All-Star Game, it will become the new arena of the Houston Rockets!"

"The arena cost about $13 billion and has 18000 seats in the arena."

After entering the arena, Mobley began the introduction.

Shen Fei and his group stood on the top stand, looking down.

Just from the first impression, Huaxia Times is much better than Toyota Center...

Although the Toyota Center can also accommodate about [-] spectators, the gap between the seats is small, and the design of the stands is not humanized enough.

And the grandstand of Huaxia Times focuses on grandeur and style!

The blank space in some positions reflects the Chinese aesthetics.

"Look over there..."

Mobley pointed to the large screen in the center of the arena.

Everyone looked at his fingertips.

“眼前的这块大屏幕，将是nba主场球馆中最大的屏幕。屏幕长为82英尺9英寸（约25.22米），宽为52英尺8英寸（约16.05米），面积达到了9699平方英尺（约901.07平方米）！”

"I dare to say with confidence that even the fans sitting on the outermost floor can clearly see everything that happens on the field through this big screen!"

After Mobley finished his introduction, Qin Xiaocheng waved his hand, and the staff on the side began to play the video on the big screen.

In one sentence, the playback effect of courtship is...whether it is image quality or audio quality, they are impeccable!

Shen Fei nodded in satisfaction.

In the past year, he followed the Rockets and basically visited every NBA team's arena.

Shen Fei has some impressions of the big screens in every arena.

In contrast, the big screen in front of me is absolutely luxurious!

[It was made with money, but the effect is different...]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

Afterwards, Mobley took everyone to visit the locker room, player tunnel, memorial hall and other places.

After all the visits, the Rockets players have already written their expectations on their faces.

"Boss, we will be able to play in this arena soon, right? I can't wait to choose an exclusive position in our super luxurious home team locker room!"

Tony Allen said with a smile.

"Brother Fei, did you plant a cash cow? 13 billion dollars... It seems that the Toyota Center was built at a cost of less than [-] million. The new arena is too expensive, right?"

Jeremy Lin asked curiously.

"I want to build an epoch-making arena. Only this kind of arena is worthy of the name 'China Times'."

"As for burning money...I can only say, you get what you pay for."

Shen Fei said lightly.

At this time, Tony Allen nodded and said: "There is only one shortcoming of expensive things, and that is expensive..."

"No, Mr. Tony, expensive is not its shortcoming, but your shortcoming."

Shuhao said jokingly.

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

That night, the Rockets officially released a 3-minute video on Twitter.

The content of the video is the vlog of Shen Fei and his team today.

Soon, this video attracted widespread attention.

After watching the video, the fans were all amazed at the luxury of the "China Times" arena!

At the same time, they were once again shocked by Shen Fei's wealth...

"I want to ask, does anyone know about Shen Fei's life experience? He looks like he is in his early twenties? Why can he buy the Rockets, Under Armour, and even spend 13 billion to build an arena?"

"God is so unfair...Shen Fei is rich, good-looking, and dunks fiercely. What's even more annoying is that he has a girlfriend who is rich and rich! Why is he taking all the good things by himself? ?!"

"Upstairs, have you heard of the Matthew Effect? ​​The more a person has, the more he will get. Wealth will always flow to a few people.

If you guessed right, both the Rockets and Under Armor have made Shen Fei a lot of money in the past two years.

Everyone only saw the time when Shen Fei spent money like dirt, but they didn't see the time when he was making money every day. "

"This new arena has a strong sense of technology. It doesn't look like the old arenas I've been to... I'm looking forward to watching games in this arena!"

......

When the fans sighed, the NBA official suddenly reposted this tweet, and added:

"Happy and happy! This season's NBA All-Star Game will be held in Houston, and it will be the first time that the 'China Times Arena' will be put into use!"

"The ticket purchase channel will open in 10 days, so stay tuned!"

As soon as this official nba twitter was sent out, the entry of #狼索新集场will host the All-Star Game# quickly rushed into the trending searches on Twitter.

Rockets fans were naturally ecstatic.

And when they commented under the entry enthusiastically, NBA President Stern dialed Shen Fei's phone.

"Fei, I have done what I promised you."

"But I'm still a little worried, whether the Rockets can successfully defend their title this year... Will you make trades to strengthen the team in the future?"

Stern asked straight to the point.

The Rockets' recent performance is indeed very good.

But in Stern's view, their dominance is still not as good as last year's Rockets.

Because, this rocket has obvious shortcomings.

One is that the inside line is much more empty than last year, and it is easier for opponents to target Yao Ming's shortcomings that cannot be defended!

The second is the Rockets' two guns in the backcourt-Curry and Jeremy Lin, both are offensively strong and defensively weak, and they are likely to be targeted in the playoffs!

Of course, Stern will have such worries, and it is also related to the strength of other teams this season.

The Heat and the Lakers are both strong and strong, and the Thunder have also shown super talent.

"I heard that Pat Riley has been secretly asking for an All-Star-level space-type insider."

"He should have come for the Rockets."

Stern continued.
