Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

A while before the game started, Cheeks seriously analyzed the opponent's strength with the players, but the result was not optimistic.

Cheeks made a very comprehensive analysis, starting with the team's management.

The management's task is very important. They must not only purchase players to form a lineup, but also stimulate their potential based on the players' characteristics.

The Rockets' manager at this time is Dawson, and Morey will never have the opportunity to replace him in this time and space.

Dawson meets almost all of coach Van Gundy's requirements.

Basically all the players Van Gundy likes have been exchanged, so if the Rockets cannot make a breakthrough this season, it will be difficult for him to explain to the team management.

Lian Feng was very excited when he learned the news that Morey was killed. Not only because of that reason, but also because of the butterfly effect that may extend Yao Ming's career.

Why do you say that?

I have to say that Yao Ming has caught up with a good era at this time. An era without Morey.

As far as Lian Feng knows, Morey is actually a very shrewd manager, regardless of his character. He is very proficient in digital analysis, and his biggest specialty is risk control. There is almost no garbage in his hands.

contract. He can keep the team's finances at a healthy level. The price is the unreasonable team configuration, which seriously damaged Yao Ming's body.

Many people blame Van Gundy for overusing Yao Ming.

In fact, after Morey took over the next season, the Rockets launched a series of dazzling operations, which not only saved the team costs, but also forced Yao Ming to take on more, which was one of the reasons for the overuse of Yao Ming.

Well, now Morey is gone, and it will take several years before Alexander sells the Rockets. It can be said that the Rockets during this period are China's national team.

Of course, this is not a good thing for the 76ers.

Because the Rockets are currently very strong in every position.

Needless to say, for the center, although Yao Ming underwent surgery to remove bone spurs from his left ankle in July this year, he returned to Houston in August to start preparing for his fourth NBA season and clearly seemed fine. And there was still a treasure sitting on the bench.

Uncle Mu, who is not yet old, although he is old, he has maintained his body quite well, runs nimbly, and is experienced in blocking shots.

Power forward, Swift, is not very capable of scoring. However, because of Yao Ming's super scoring ability, he does not need to score. In terms of assisting defense and rebounding ability, Swift performed amazingly.

Small forward Tracy McGrady doesn’t need to say much.

Although shooting guard Anderson and point guard Alston are inferior to the 76ers, their task is only to hand the ball to Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, and defensively, they are not inferior to the 76ers' backcourt.

The key is that the atmosphere in their locker room is particularly good.

McGrady was full of passion before the start of the season: "The Texas fans are so great. If I had to choose, I really hope to play here from the beginning. Everyone is great. This is a great city!"

Lian Feng thought to himself, greatness is great... It's a pity that you only played more than forty games this season, otherwise the Rockets really have the potential to compete for the championship this season: they have internal unity and a reasonable lineup, just like the red team in 1994.

Cheeks asked everyone to cheer up and deal with the game seriously. But after the meeting, Iverson laughed: "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter! We will beat them!"

Iverson is always like this, no matter who the opponent is, he will inspire his teammates and boost the morale of the army.

…

Two days before the start of the preseason, the team stopped training. They began to rest and wait at home to prepare for Yao Mai's challenge.

Americans have an indescribable obsession with games. The preseason games may not be popular elsewhere, but the popularity of the game city will not be too low. The local media has also begun to exaggerate the first matchup between the two teams this season. There are talks about

Message from Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.

Although Lian Feng was very confident as a rookie, it was impossible not to be nervous in this situation.

This nervousness will be transformed into excitement.

…

On the day off, Iverson invited Lian Feng to a party.

Lian Feng hesitated and agreed.

Iverson's parties are notoriously extravagant, and not everyone is eligible to attend.

Logically speaking, the game was about to start, and Lian Feng really shouldn't go out and have a good time. But not everyone valued a preseason game as much as he did. This was the first time the team boss invited him, and it wouldn't be good if he refused.

.

Moreover... Lian Feng is also curious about what parties are like in the United States and what Iverson, a famous extravagant, is like.

However, before Lian Feng went to the party, he saw Iverson's extravagance in advance.

Since he didn't have a car, Iverson stopped by to attend the party.

Iverson honked the horn wildly downstairs in the apartment, causing many people to lean out of the windows and yell. You couldn't see inside the Lamborghini's windows, so Iverson completely ignored the dissatisfied people.

Lian Feng rushed out of the car with some confusion and got into the car.

Iverson said: "Man, you really should buy a car. Otherwise, when we get over, this car will be given to you."

Lian Feng was shocked on the spot and his head went a little crazy: "Huh?"

Iverson stepped on the accelerator to the floor, the accelerator roared, and the sports car's cushion even hit his back, instantly making Lian Feng's heart beat faster.

Iverson laughed loudly: "Man, you didn't even ride in a sports car, did you?"

Lian Feng looked at Iverson with an innocent face.

Iverson smiled: "Also, the place you live in is really terrible. I suggest you buy a better place. It won't cost much."

Lian Feng just laughed dryly: "It's very close to the training hall. I like it here."

When it came to training, Iverson's expression became a little more serious: "By the way, buddy, I discussed it with Cheeks and you came to play as Andre's substitute."

"Um?"

"Yes, you heard it right. Of course, Cheeks also has this intention. He thinks that you should play as a defender rather than a forward. He thinks that you are more suitable to connect the team."

Lian Feng thought for a while: "Do you think so too?"

Iverson shook his head: "No, I want you to be Andre's substitute because when he comes off the court to rest, you can start the fast break with me instead of him."

Lian Feng understood immediately.

It has to be said that Iverson's assists are indeed very restricted by his teammates. More than half of his assists are for Iguodala. There is no way, Iverson can steal and make quick transitions with his speed. However,

Only Iguodala on the team could keep up with him, so after Iguodala took a break, the team's defensive counterattack almost came to a standstill.

Although Iverson has one of the fastest speeds in the league, the 76ers play very slowly. This is the 76ers' helplessness, and it is also Iverson's helplessness.

Therefore, although Cheeks and Iverson had different starting points, they both decided to let the forward play as Iguodala's substitute in the first preseason game.

Iverson smiled again: "But relax, this is just the preseason, it's not important, all you have to do is adapt, adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, the intensity of the NBA, and... your brothers on the court!

"

Lian Feng nodded.

Arriving at Iverson's mansion of more than 1,000 square meters, his younger brothers quickly gathered around him.

Lian Feng is not going to say anything about Iverson's gangster friends who often commit crimes and commit crimes. That is Iverson's life.

Iverson knew what he was doing, as he said in the interview: "They are my brothers. They are the ones who have been with me from the beginning. They all believed in me very much, from day one.

They believed in me from the beginning. If I didn’t have these people, I wouldn’t know who to trust now. These brothers are worthy of my trust. I know what I’m doing. The outside world doesn’t know me, and I don’t care if they don’t know me.

.”

After Iverson got out of the car, he casually threw the car keys to Lian Feng, then pointed at the Lamborghini and said, "It's yours."

Lian Feng: "..."

Then the party started.

Beautiful women, alcohol, dance floor...

Iverson was so excited that he even walked to the center of the dance floor and threw money.

Lian Feng was sitting in a corner drinking a glass of juice, feeling that he was out of place here. During this period, a beautiful woman took the initiative to strike up a conversation, but he sent her away with his indifferent attitude.

He regretted coming here.

However, it is still worth remembering this special experience. After the party, Lian Feng left the car keys in the car and took a taxi back to his apartment.

Well...he hasn't gotten his US driver's license yet.

…

After the party, Lian Feng took a good night's rest to recharge his batteries. Even if it's a preseason game, he must take it seriously!
