basketball legend manager

"Then let's talk!"

Ajiali said excitedly.

Battier and Scola, a small forward and a power forward, aren't they exactly what the Kings need?

Once the deal takes shape, the Kings' starting lineup will become: Evans, Udrih, Battier, Scola, and Cousins.

This lineup is very comprehensive, including young and strong potential rookies, the Mesozoic in their prime, and the old and strong veterans.

Moreover, the overall height of the team will be very good, with each starter being over 1.9 meters tall.

It can be said that this transaction will bring about a qualitative change for the King!

"Are you dating someone? I'm a little embarrassed when you ask me so directly."

When Shen Fei saw Ajiali was so excited, he decided to tease her.

"What to talk about?"

"I mean the trading partner! Scola, Shane Battier's trading partner!"

After being stunned for a short time, Ajiali was so embarrassed and angry that she couldn't help but "hit" Shen Fei on the arm with a pink fist.

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it later."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

Since coming from time travel, he has basically shown himself as a calm manager.

I can count on one hand the number of times I have joked with people like this.

I have to say that Shen Fei was very relaxed when getting along with Ajiali.

It makes him feel good (definitely not because the other person is good-looking).

When the two were fighting, the game also came to an end.

In the end, the score was fixed at 135:103. The Rockets defeated the Kings at home. While winning 13 consecutive games, they also ended their opponent's 3-game winning streak.

As soon as the game ended, the on-site director's desire for gossip reignited again.

Unfortunately, the box was already empty.

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

Ten minutes ago, Shen Fei saw that the game had lost its suspense, so he took Ajiali and left the field early.

Then, the two drove to a private restaurant.

The owner of the shop is a Chinese and he cooks authentic Chinese dishes.

Shen Fei also had a certain amount of research on food in his previous life, so he introduced the dishes to Ajiali in detail.

"I didn't expect that you still have this side."

The king's daughter said with a smile.

"Actually, I can not only say it, I can also do it."

"My cooking skills are pretty good. If I have a chance, I can cook it for you to try."

Shen Fei said lightly.

Hearing this, Ajiali nodded slightly, and at some point, her face started to blush again.

[If you want to cook, should you go to his house...]

The more she thought about it, the more shy she felt, and finally she just lowered her head and ate her food to hide her embarrassment.

"By the way, aren't you asking me for advice? First tell me your vision for the future of the Kings."

Shen Fei changed the topic.

As soon as she heard about the king, Ajiali immediately regained her "consciousness".

She wiped her mouth with a napkin and took out a notebook from her bag.

"We are currently ranked ninth in the Western Conference, only one game behind the eighth-place Warriors."

"But you also know that the competition in the Western Conference is very fierce, and we are only three games ahead of the 13th place."

Ajiali introduced.

"In other words, if you enter now, you can compete for a playoff spot, and if you retreat, you can compete for draft picks?"

Shen Fei concluded.

"That's right! That's what I mean."

Ajiali's bright eyes flashed and she responded with a smile.

Chatting with smart people is so comfortable!

Ajiali then remembered that when discussing the team situation with her father before, she would often say a few words and then stop to explain...

"My suggestion is... with the current personnel reserves of the Kings, the profit will be higher if they mess up this season."

"Although next year is not a big year for the draft, there are some very good prospects who can definitely serve as the cornerstone of the team."

Shen Fei analyzed carefully.

"Ah...do you already know something about next year's draft?"

Ajiali said in surprise.

You know, the Rockets are now the team at the top of the league.

This means that they cannot have good picks.

However, Shen Fei started studying the draft in the middle of the season... In Ajiali's opinion, this is really a waste of energy.

"What I want is not just this year's championship, but next year's, the year after that... I want them all."

"I hope the Rockets are in my hands and we can establish a dynasty!"

Shen Fei made no secret of his ambitions.

"So, for the future competitiveness of the Rockets, you started studying the draft early?"

Ajiali guessed.

"Um."

Shen Fei nodded noncommittally and continued:

"Our team has many star players who have returned from injury. They are now receiving salaries that are not commensurate with their worth. Such cooperation will not last long."

"So...I need to work hard on the draft to maintain the Rockets' dominance."

Ajiali understood immediately.

It can be seen from the game just now that there are many players in the Rockets who have starting and even core capabilities!

Stars like Roy and Lowry who are at their peak will definitely not be willing to be inferior to others.

After showing their worth this season, they will most likely choose to leave during the offseason. This is an unavoidable problem.

"So do you have a favorite candidate now?"

"Forget it, I won't ask anymore. After all, this is considered a trade secret."

Ajiali suppressed her curiosity.

Shen Fei smiled slightly.

There are many good prospects in 2011, and it is impossible for the Rockets to select them all.

Firstly, there is a lack of draft picks, and secondly, there are still Chinese players to train in the coming year.

Therefore, proper disclosure will not affect the interests of the Rockets.

Moreover, Ajiali was also busy for a long time when he acquired the Rockets.

Although he didn't help in the end, Shen Fei was still grateful.

After all, Ajiali didn't know that he had enough money to buy the team.

In other words, if Shen Fei is just an ordinary team manager, then what Ajiali does is to help him keep his position and his dream!

As the saying goes, no thank you is enough for a great favor.

Although Shen Fei never expressed his gratitude in person, he always wanted to find an opportunity to repay the other party.

Ever since, he carefully thought back to the "big fish" in the 2011 draft...

The strongest player in the 11th class is definitely Leonard, the original 15th overall pick.

This two-time FMVP winner is not only an emotionless scoring machine, but also has one of the top three perimeter defensive abilities in history.

As long as he follows the Spurs' training ideas, within a few years, Leonard will become one of the best players in the league and the perfect cornerstone for building a team.

Shen Fei decided to keep this good product for himself.

Then there are the three "half-step giants" Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, and Jimmy Butler.

In addition, Vucevic, Isaiah Thomas, and Kemba Walker are also good choices.

Among them, Butler and Leonard's talents overlapped slightly, and Shen Fei immediately decided to recommend them to Ajiali.

"Lend me your pen."

Shen Fei said while picking up a napkin.

As a result, with a swipe of the pen, he wrote a name - Jimmy Butler!

"This guy is expected to be drafted at the end of the first round, so he must be selected."

Shen Fei said and handed over the napkin.

"Jimmy...Butler? Okay, I've written it down."

"I also keep this piece of paper~"

Ajiali didn't hesitate at all and immediately accepted Shen Fei's suggestion.

"Jimmy is a wing player who can play both offense and defense. His style of play is unpretentious but very practical."

"However, his static talent is not outstanding, so it may take 2-3 years to cultivate."

"What I appreciate most about Jimmy is his mental attributes. If cultivated properly, he can become a star in his own right."

Shen Fei said seriously.

"You mean, he's going to be a better player than Tyreke and DeMarcus?"

Ajiali said doubtfully.

"Here's the thing...Cousins ​​and Evans are definitely the more talented players, but Jimmy will be the one who works harder."

"In the end, he will become the leader of the team and lead a group of players who are more talented than him to strive for honors."

"Oh of course, this is just my prediction."

Shen Fei realized that he had gone too far and quickly made up his mind.

No way, Ajiali's doubts suddenly reminded him of Butler's two great feats.

First, during the Timberwolves period, he led a group of substitutes in training games and beat the main team of Towns and Wiggins;

Second, he led the Heat to the finals and averaged 29.3710.3 in the series, with a three-point shooting rate of 58%, 40% and 90%.

To put it simply, unless Cousins ​​​​is favored by the God of Basketball in this time and space, he can avoid injuries, develop steadily, and truly become the league's number one center.

Otherwise, the core position of the future king must belong to Jimmy Butler!

Of course, this is based on Ajiali following Shen Fei's advice.

"Buy one, get one free, and let me tell you a player at the end of the second round."

"His name is Isaiah Thomas. He is a short point guard with a height of 1.75 meters."

"By selecting him, the Kings will have a... super sixth man who can stably contribute 20 points."

Shen Fei talked eloquently.

Isaiah Thomas' ball-handling style is also not suitable for the future Rockets, and Asian youths gave up on him easily.

Of course, the little assassin is naturally not just a sixth man.

In his peak season, he was known as the "Strongest 175 on Earth" man!

But because of his figure, Shen Fei didn't want to talk too much, lest Ajiali think he was exaggerating.

"Okay! Say your name again and I will write it down immediately!"

Ajiali's eyes were full of excitement, as if she had seen a treasure.

Shen Fei repeated it again, and she wrote it down quickly.

"Hmm... As for the draft, that's probably it."

"As for Scola and Battier mentioned earlier, they are both mature players and will not affect the Kings' subsequent failure."

"In two years, although they will be a little older, they will still be a very good team piece."

Shen Fei continued.

In his heart, he actually wanted to take this opportunity to send away the two veterans who were not interested in this in exchange for some needed assets.

Such as draft picks, such as Chinese players.

And, Shen Fei’s long-cherished defensive hero—Ben Wallace!

Shen Fei plans to attract teams such as the Kings and Pistons to conduct multi-party transactions.
