Legendary basketball manager

The two general managers did not stay at the game site, but went to a nearby office to conduct final negotiations on the details of the transaction.

In the end, the two reached a consensus: the Rockets used Aaron Brooks, Lance Stephenson and a second-round pick to get Blake Griffin from the Clippers.

After signing the contract, Shen Fei and Frank continued to watch the game through TV.

In the second half, after receiving treatment, Griffin returned to the sidelines to watch the game.

But he would never have thought that he would be traded by the team before he finished a game.

On the court, Stephenson's performance is still eye-catching!

With the support of the whole team and tactical tilt, he scored a total of 42 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the game.

If you want to choose the best player in this game, he is definitely the best choice!

After the game, ESPN commentator A-Smith said bluntly:

"The Rockets have found a treasure! Even if Stephenson cannot become the main force this season, he will become one of the core of the team in the next few years!"

"His game is very passionate and will definitely be loved by Rockets fans!"

Outside the arena, Clippers manager Frank heaved a sigh of relief after seeing his younger brother perform like this.

Although the performance of the No. [-] pick was far below expectations, the Clippers finally passed him and got a good rookie!

Two hours later, woj, a well-known reporter from Yahoo Sports, also announced the deal on his personal twitter.

Once the news was released, the Rockets fans who had just watched the game were stunned!

They left angry comments under woj's tweet:

"What's the situation? I was still thinking that Brooks and Stephenson will partner in the backcourt in the future, and the Rockets' revival is expected. But when I look back, both of them are gone?"

"The one upstairs is not only gone, but also replaced by the glass man who was just blown up."

"What is this Shen Fei doing?! I heard that he went to watch the game today. Can't he see how good Stephenson is? I think it would be a loss to trade him for Griffin alone!"

"Woooooh, my little black bean, just won the most improved player, and was sold at a low price..."

The mentality of the Rockets fans exploded, while the Clippers fans felt happy!

During this time, they were frightened by the public opinion that "Griffin is the next Oden".

Today, Griffin was injured again in his first show after his comeback, which made them believe in the authenticity of public opinion even more.

Just when the Clippers fans were worried about the future of the team, the sudden transaction made them overjoyed!

"I declare that Frank is the best general manager of the year!"

"This is definitely a deal to save the future of the Clippers. Salute to you, my general manager!"

"Brothers, did you watch today's game? I think Stephenson might be able to compete for the No. [-] pick last year!"

"Upstairs, it can be used this year! It's just that those scouts don't understand the ball! Look at the undrafted Jeremy Lin of the Rockets. He also played very well."

"I think those scouts should be fired! I've only watched one game, and I can tell who's talent is good. Those scouts have been studying for a whole year, but they can't see it?"

…………

When the discussions on the Internet were in full swing, Shen Fei had already brought his assistants to the team bus of the Rockets.

At this time, the rocket soldiers were celebrating with joy.

When they saw Shen Fei appearing, they immediately stood up to welcome them.

Only Stephenson was alone, joking around in his seat, without any reaction to Shen Fei's arrival.

First of all, he was completely high today, and his emotions were a little out of control.

Secondly, he didn't have much respect for this young general manager.

In Stephenson's eyes, although Shen Fei is the name in charge of the team, his seniority is too young to be a long-term Rocket.

But the younger brother has honey confidence in his own position.

He believes that he has such a good performance when he just joined the team, and he will definitely be focused on training in the future.

To put it simply, Stephenson felt that although he was only a rookie, his status in the team was higher than that of Shen Fei!

Because of this, he didn't react when he saw Shen Fei appearing.

"Congratulations everyone, you played a wonderful game!"

"I'm here mainly to announce an important thing."

Shen Fei ignored his junior and directly cut to the point.

The players cast puzzled looks one after another.

Only the team coach——Mark Jackson and the rookie Paul George (he breathed in order to let him cooperate) knew Shen Fei's purpose.

"Just now, the team made a deal."

"Unfortunately, Lance, you are leaving the team and your next stop will be the Los Angeles Clippers."

"They are still in the hotel near the arena, you can go directly to meet them."

Shen Fei said lightly.

"???"

Stephenson woke up like a dream, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

"What did you say? Are you kidding me?"

He couldn't believe his ears.

"I scored 42 points in the first summer league game, do you know what that is?!"

Stephenson stared angrily, questioning Shen Feidao.

"I don't need to explain to you, I just came to inform you that you have been traded."

Shen Fei said calmly without any disturbance in his heart.

This time, he came in person to give Stephenson some comfort.

After all, he was a rookie selected by Shen Fei, and he was traded away after only one match in the summer league. It would be uncomfortable for anyone to change him.

But with Stephenson's current attitude, Shen Fei was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

A mere rookie, if he trades, he trades. What reason does he need?

With a wave of Shen Fei's right hand, the assistant understood and handed over the contract.

Stephenson took a look at the contract and confirmed that Fei Shen was really not joking.

He's already been traded to the Clippers...

"Okay! Okay! You just wait for me, I will make you regret it!"

Stephenson said a harsh word, got out of the car through the back door, and left without looking back.

After he left, Shen Fei didn't change his face, and continued to say to the rocket soldiers:

"Everyone has a short rest in Las Vegas, and you can go to Las Vegas to relax at night. When Griffin comes to the team to meet, we will leave together."

The players suddenly realized that Stephenson had been traded for Griffin.

"In the first game, everyone played very well."

"We must continue to work hard in the next games. The champion of this summer league must be brought back to Houston, understand?"

Shen Fei asked.

"understand!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Paul George twists his wrist.

He will be able to perform in the next game.

During this period of time, George thought he had made great progress. At this moment, he was very eager to use the game to test the results of training.

Shen Fei exchanged a few words with the players, then got out of the car and left.

His work is far from over.

The current Rockets' lineup is still far from the championship.

Shen Fei still has a long way to go to complete the task!
