Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Lian Feng followed Garrido and met with the team management.

The team held a simple welcome ceremony for Lian Feng, and under Paul's introduction, he got to know the team's main players one by one.

The entire Hornets team is here.

Needless to say, Paul, as the absolute core and foundation of the team, is the undoubted starter at No. 1.

Paul hugged Lian Feng warmly.

"Your performance at the World Championships was really good! The two of us will create a dynasty that belongs to us!"

"I think so too."

Although Paul often talks about this, after looking at the current Hornets team, Lian Feng feels that it is really possible to do it.

Tyson Chandler, the boxing champion at this time, was only 25 years old. His height and running and jumping ability were good. His blocking and rebounding ability had long been among the top five in the league during the Hornets era. At the same time, his ability to eat cakes was top-notch. He definitely had the potential to become a player.

A top defensive center.

Speaking of boxing champions, Tyson Chandler was jokingly called the boxing champion, but in fact he was just named "Tyson." At this time, the Hornets really had a "boxing champion."

David West, whom Paul introduced next, can be said to be the boxing champion in the team. He has practiced boxing since he was a child, has good fighting ability, and plays the No. 4 power forward position on the court.

Chinese fans are familiar with him because he later joined the Warriors and won two championship rings with Curry's dynasty.

Paul said: "West is the smartest guy on our team, it's true! The last time I saw him, he was reading "Game Theory," which was like Mayan text. And this guy is very interested in philosophy and messy social issues.

Very fascinated.”

Lian Feng knew that David West might have the highest football intelligence on this team besides Paul. His physical fitness is not outstanding, but he can maintain a very high rebounding efficiency. Among the three abilities of rebounding

, he mainly relies on his rebounding awareness.

Next, we introduce Desmond Mason.

"Desmond was the No. 2 last season, but this season he was moved to the No. 3. Let's get to know him!"

Lian Feng's heart moved and he asked deliberately: "Then who will play the No. 2 position?"

At this time, head coach Scott said: "Actually, our original plan this season was to sign Peja. But when you came, we put the deal on hold."

Lian Feng understood this and was very excited at the same time.

Sure enough, it was pretty much what I expected. The Hornets were short of the No. 2 position this season. Compared with Desmond Mason, I was indeed more suitable for this position.

In fact, Desmond Mason is five centimeters shorter than himself. But unfortunately, his three-point shooting percentage is too low, even worse than when the forward did not strengthen his three-point shooting ability.

.

Paul said: "During training, Desmond's three-point shooting percentage was not higher than 50%. In a confrontation on the field, his shooting percentage was basically nothing, haha, so he is more suitable to play the 3 position."

However, Desmond Mason also has advantages. His physical fitness is very strong, and he once won the dunk contest championship in the 2000-01 season.

Desmond Mason had a friendly personality and greeted Lian Feng warmly.

"Man, I loved that dunk on Bogut!"

Lian Feng responded: "Really? Haha, it means you and I have the same aesthetics."

Basically, they are the first starters.

Lian Feng summarized this starting lineup.

No. 1 Paul is the top player in the league. The only ones who can surpass him at this position are probably Nash and Kidd.

He is at the 2nd position. He has a strong wing threat and excellent running and jumping ability. After improving his three-point shooting rate in the summer, he has moved towards an all-around scorer. His current weakness is that his low post and back attack ability is almost zero. And the three-point shooting ability is almost zero.

Distribution can only be said to be usable in the NBA, but it is not yet excellent.

But there is no doubt that he is the best candidate the Hornets can get at this time. There is no problem at all as the tactical end point most of the time and as the singles strong point when the team's tactics fail.

Lian Feng is very excited. There is no doubt that his right to shoot in this team will be guaranteed!

I once saw some people's opinions on some forums, saying that Paul and himself have conflicts in the distribution of ball rights. People who put forward such opinions obviously do not understand the difference between "holding the ball" and "shooting".

Yes, as long as Paul is on the court, the ball must be in his hands most of the time on the court. But this does not mean that he is the one who takes the final shot.

Paul is different from Iverson. What he has been doing is organizing his teammates on the court to create space or misplaced singles opportunities through a series of moves and basketball conduction. But for whom do you create space? And for whom do you create misplaced singles opportunities?

?The answer is obvious.

It's him, Lian Feng! Gu

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the issue of right to take action.

The next No. 3 is Desmond Mason, who has excellent ability to hit the inside, but has a single attack method and is easily restricted. No. 4 David West has a high IQ, can coordinate, and has a mid-range shot.

His quality is average, and he has no problem being a qualified space power forward. As a defensive center, No. 5 Tyson has not yet grown a beard at this period. His only disadvantage is that he has poor strength and strong defensive ability in the low post.

The center will be very difficult.

In addition, there is Bobby Jackson on the bench, who averages double figures in points per game. He once won the best sixth man award during the Kings period. At this time, he also played the role of the sixth man on the team most of the time.

Such a lineup, when all members are healthy, is definitely expected to show off its skills in the playoffs!

Unfortunately, the depth of the bench is not enough, and the abilities of other rotation players are quite impressive.

But fortunately, the salary space saved by not signing Peja can still be manipulated. If we can get one or two championship pieces before the deal is closed, the situation this season will be wonderful!

At present, the atmosphere in the locker room of the Hornets' main players is also good. These players all lead relatively healthy lives, such as West, an expert in philosophy and sociology, and Mason, a painter... This makes Lian Feng more willing to interact with them in depth.

Paul, one of the core members of the team, has a very strong desire to win just like himself, which is very important. It means that even if the two of them have different personalities, they can have a good chemical reaction.

Lian Feng believes that when it comes to choosing between data and victory, Paul will, like himself, choose the latter without hesitation.

Lian Feng understands that if the team is dual-core and only one person has the desire to win, it will be difficult for the team to achieve anything, such as Happy Basketball Howard and Black Mamba Kobe.

But if both cores have a strong winning mentality, the achievements of this team will be limitless!

After Lian Feng reported on the team, reporters from Heda Media also started writing, and analysis articles about this Hornets team were published one after another.

"Surprising! The knee injury seems to have not affected this potential rookie at all. His performance in the World Championships has said it all."

"Three-pointers! More powerful athletic ability! The forward in the World Championships is constantly responding to doubts. He made the Hornets believe that they made the right choice! And the 76ers should be so regretful that their intestines are blue - they should have

Chance matches.”

"Scott's coaching ability is obvious to all. Will this Hornets team be a turning point in his coaching career?"

"This is a perfect lineup! Their roles at each position may not be the strongest in the league, but they complement each other and are eager to win! There is no doubt that they are ready to win more honors! Let us

Let’s wait and see.”

The media's expectations for this Hornets team are very good.

The same goes for Lian Feng, who can't wait to participate in the team's training.

However, training matters have to be pushed back.

Lian Feng's schedule for the next day is to follow the team to participate in a local fan feedback event.

After all, they have only moved to Oklahoma City temporarily, and the team needs to use such activities to bring the fans closer to the team in order to obtain higher attendance.

On the way back to the hotel.

Lian Feng asked Garrido: "What do I need to do then? I mean, do I need to prepare a few poss? And autographs? They will ask to take a photo with me, right?"

Garrido laughed loudly, and the fat on his face trembled: "I think it is very necessary! This event will have a fan meeting, and then probably need to perform a few dunks. By the way, there will also be a few local teams.

The street basketball team organized a competition... Well, I heard that several famous local street basketball boys are looking forward to challenging professional players like you."

Lian Feng said "Oh" and said, "Let's forget it."

Garrido said: "Why not? I think they still don't have the strength to beat professional players..."

Lian Feng said nonchalantly: "When professional players beat street ballers like them, they just crush them. I don't want to cast a shadow on their basketball careers. Believe me, if they play against us, he will definitely say: Go to hell."

basketball dream, haha!”

Garrido couldn't help but laugh.

Lian Feng is really confident.

I like confident players!

But what they didn't expect was that Lian Feng and Garrido's conversation was too unbridled and was overheard by passers-by.

Then, Lian Feng's evaluation of streetball players that night completely exploded the Oklahoma City streetball community.

"We must make Lian Feng suffer in tomorrow's event!"

Lian Feng had no idea about this...
