Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Lian Feng obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of the people of Oklahoma City.

"People from nearby Kansas also go to Oklahoma City to watch football. I have a friend who lives in Missouri and often drives to Oklahoma City to watch football because there are really no professional teams nearby..."

At the fan meeting, Lian Feng looked at the huge crowd of fans in front of him. They were holding up signs cheering for the Hornets. He was very excited and couldn't help but feel passionate in his heart.

This kind of scene cannot be seen in Philadelphia - at least not in that year in Philadelphia. What Philadelphians prefer is football, especially in recent years, Allen's negative news has been increasing. Most of the time, the football

The team can't even guarantee attendance, let alone such an enthusiastic scene.

Lian Feng and Garrido learned that unlike Philadelphia, people living in small cities like Oklahoma City and New Orleans had almost no other entertainment except watching professional leagues.

Oklahoma City has a football team, but it has never had a professional basketball team. During the offseason of football games, Oklahoma City residents are very bored.

"Fans in small cities will be very loyal!"

Lian Feng nodded. Judging from the current formation, this is indeed the case.

This is the case for fans in small towns. They will regard that team as everything, just like heroes who fight for their city. For fans in small towns, one person, one city is not a joke.

Lian Feng recalled that when LeBron left Cleveland and Du Xiaoshuai left Oklahoma City, those fans cursed and burned their jerseys for no reason.

Because, after all, they are regarded as heroes and people of hope by the fans!

How deep the love is, how deep the hatred will be after being abandoned.

It's hard to imagine how devastated the fans would be at that moment.

Oklahoma City does not yet have a real team. In the future, the Seattle SuperSonics will move here and be renamed the Thunder.

But at this time, even though they knew that the Hornets did not belong to them, they still regarded the Hornets as their own team and were crazy about it.

At this time, a fat uncle suddenly took off his shirt. He had the Hornets logo tattooed on his body and danced happily.

Lian Feng couldn't help but feel moved.

It's hard for someone not to feel something in this situation.

Garrido said: "Last season, the average expenditure of Oklahoma City fans on the team ranked fifth in the league. You know, the economic conditions here are far worse than those in big cities. This also proves from the side that the fans in this city have high expectations for the team.

How loyal the team is."

Small cities are also small ball markets, and it is difficult to attract big-name stars. Even if they can obtain potential stars through the draft, most of them will leave after the stars have achieved their worth.

Therefore, this is why San Antonio is admirable. Although San Antonio is a small town, both Popovich and GDP have written the word loyalty with long years of perseverance.

If we can bring a professional league championship to this small town, whether it is basketball or rugby, it will undoubtedly make many fans here move to tears.

After the meeting, autograph sessions and other activities were held.

At the autograph session, Hornets players drew dozens of fans on site.

When Lian Feng read out the numbers of the fans he had chosen, he heard constant sounds of surprise.

Soon, the lucky fans he picked lined up, waiting for autographs.

What surprised Lian Feng was that many of the fans he drew were children.

A little black boy came to him holding a basketball.

Lian Feng took the basketball and asked: "Where is the signature? Is it on the basketball?"

The little black boy said excitedly: "Yes, yes! Please sign on the basketball. I am your loyal fan, and you will always stay here, right?"

Lian Feng couldn't bear to deceive the little boy, so he thought for a while and said: "Believe me, as long as you are enthusiastic enough, Oklahoma City will have a team that truly belongs to you!"

The little boy nodded in understanding, "That's right, right? Then when will you win a championship for us?"

Lian Feng said: "Soon, soon!"

The little boy walked away excitedly.

Every fan who asked for his autograph regarded him as a star like Kobe and Jordan, and expressed their admiration enthusiastically and excitedly.

They wear their own jerseys and hold posters of their dunks in their hands, using all evidence to prove that they love themselves.

They know that it is impossible for real superstars like Kobe and Jordan to come to a small city like Oklahoma City.

Lian Feng is the Jordan in their hearts.

During the signing process, Lian Feng became a little moved.

To be honest, even if he completed two classic buzzers in Philadelphia, not many people would know him when walking on the street. And almost everyone here knows about him.

You know, I haven’t played a game yet!

In such an environment, it will really give people an inexplicable sense of belonging, and it will really give people a sense of mission of "I am really fighting for them."

Although this is a business alliance, even though this is the American Empire, they place their hopes on themselves, and they will defend themselves when they are in trouble. Lian Feng even has reason to believe that if he is maliciously fouled on the court, these

Fans will even rush up and beat the player.

After the signing, the second round of activities was held under the guidance of the host.

Dunk performance.

Under the cheers of the fans, Desmond was the first to take the field. Although he had just recovered from a serious injury, he did not lose his demeanor as the dunk king. He continuously performed for the fans such as windmills, crotch dunks and other exciting moves, which aroused the fans' excitement.

cheer.

Lian Feng couldn't help but cheer from the audience.

Americans are not as reserved as Chinese when it comes to expressing their emotions. They use exaggerated expressions and body movements to express their excitement.

Lian Feng couldn't help but be infected.

Next, he couldn't wait to get on the stage.

"Lian, can you still fly?"

This is a girl shouting loudly with a naughty smile on her face.

Lian Feng laughed and said, "So, young lady, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

The girl said excitedly: "Of course! I'm very happy."

The crowd started to boo.

Lian Feng asked the girls to stand in a position under the basket.

Seeing this scene, everyone knew that Lian Feng was about to perform a trick of leaping over others and dunking. Fans below began to whistle.

Lian Feng took a deep breath.

The girl is not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall. For Lian Feng, who has a vertical jump of 110+ and has long legs, flying over her is a piece of cake.

But after all, it was his first time to do this kind of dunk performance, so Lian Feng was still a little nervous. After a little adjustment, he moved.

With a small step, Lian Feng flew up from in front of the girl and jumped over.

But because it was my first time to try such a difficult dunk, I jumped too hard and almost hit the basket, so I subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

The core suddenly became unstable.

Fortunately, a burst of tenacity appeared at this time, helping him stabilize his body, and then successfully smashed the ball in.

After landing, Lian Feng's heart was beating wildly.

Damn it, I almost tipped over.

Outsiders didn't know how dangerous Lian Feng's dunk was. In their field of vision, Lian Feng flew over with an easy jump, and even adding a crotch movement to the girl's head was no problem.

Before I had time to panic, the cheers from the scene seemed to come by themselves.

Lian Feng gradually calmed down and enjoyed the cheers of the fans.

Paul jumped up to celebrate with him.

The two collided.

This is a carnival for the fans.
