Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

When Lian Feng learned about his upcoming opponent, he was shocked.

The list of opponents actually includes Greg Oden!

You know, Oden at this time was not the glass-man-like parallel import number one pick he would become in the future. 2005 was the year when he won the National High School Basketball Player of the Year award.

When measured physically, he was 2.13 meters tall and had a wingspan of 2.24 meters. He is a large forward. He also has the ability to jump over 80 centimeters on the spot. He can run back and forth in the penalty area in 11.67 seconds and sprint three-quarters of the field in only 3.27 seconds.

He can run and jump, his sensitivity is not low, and his basketball skills are very mature.

Oden at this period is completely comparable to James when he was the No. 1 high school student in the United States!

And what they have to face in the ANTA Cup is actually this terrifying monster?

Lian Feng was not timid, but full of enthusiasm.

In this era, information transmission is not developed, and people's knowledge of the stars basically comes from television broadcasts. So most people don't know how terrifying Oden was in 2005... even though Oden was already a household name in the United States at this time.

Star high school student.

The next day, Lian Feng got up and ran a few kilometers, then went back to his dormitory and did more than a dozen sets of high-intensity aerobic intervals.

At noon, I went to the gym to exercise. My physical foundation is not good enough. Even though I have a good system, I still need to continue to strengthen my training.

And his classmates are all preparing for graduation, and the university campus is filled with an atmosphere of separation.

Lian Feng was immersed in his own world and fully prepared for the game a week later.

The next day, Zhuomei called and asked him to go to the designated venue.

Outside the arena, Lian Feng met Zhuomei again.

Today she was wearing an off-white sportswear, looking youthful and beautiful. She was very tall, 1.78 meters tall, but next to Lian Feng, she still looked like a little bird.

Zhuomei jumped up and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time! It's true, boys have always been waiting for girls, but the two times we met, I was waiting for you!"

Lian Feng looked around: "Where are the others?"

"It's all inside."

Zhuomei led Lian Feng inside and introduced some basic information.

"This competition is promoted by our CAA, and the main sponsor is Anta. This brand is very far-sighted... Although the brand is relatively low-end, it is willing to pay for it. The competition will also be broadcast on the Basketball Park section of Central Television."

"oh."

"Your opponent is an All-American high school team. I have told you this before. The players come from several high schools. These high school students can get bonuses on the one hand and enough attention on the other hand by playing this kind of game.

, to gain leverage for entering university in the future.”

"Although they are high school students, you must not underestimate the enemy! They are all screened elites, no weaker than the college team!"

Lian Feng interrupted Zhuomei: "Of course I know they are very powerful. There is Emperor Oden among them!"

"Ah?" Zhuomei was slightly startled: "Emperor?"

Lian Feng blinked and suddenly remembered that Oden probably didn't have this nickname yet, so he laughed: "That Oden... I've seen his highlights, he's very good."

Zhuomei nodded indifferently: "But don't be too nervous. They are high school students after all...play hard and show more of yourself on the court. There will be a lot of scouts this time, although most of them are here to watch Oden's game.

, but if you can perform well in this competition, you will have a good chance."

Lian Feng nodded.

Entering the arena, there were two or three players practicing shooting. To Lian Feng's surprise, he saw an acquaintance here.

Su Bing!

The chief shooting guard of Dongda University.

Seeing Lian Feng, he nodded slightly as a greeting.

Lian Feng nodded in response.

The former rivals now became teammates by accident. What a magical fate.

In this way, we can also see the pattern of CAA signings. Basically, they are looking for core players from various universities. Yes, only they have a slight chance of entering the NBA, even if they are just guarding the water cooler.

He just didn't know if his former teammates, such as Zhao Ming, had received invitations from CAA. He didn't ask about it, nor did he mention his signing. After all, judging from Lian Feng's knowledge, they didn't

There is a long way to go between the NBA and the CBA.

So does Su Bing.

His height and wingspan are around 190cm, which is far behind NBA standards. In fact, if you have any self-awareness, you should not accept the invitation from CAA at all. But everyone has the right to pursue their dreams. At this point, even

Feng still admires him.

However, Su Bing's attitude towards him was not as good as expected.

Lian Feng took off his clothes and threw two balls to warm up, and Su Bing came over to say hello.

"Your passing is good, just give me the ball when the time comes." After a pause, Su Bing said: "You can't hit those black people in this game."

Lian Feng frowned, he heard the unkindness in Su Bing's words.

Is this guy talking about the collision at the last moment of the finals? It seems that he is quite unconvinced. Does he think that Beijing University won by knocking him down at the last moment?

Lian Feng smiled and said nothing. There was no need to argue about some things. He never put himself and Su Bing on the same level from the beginning, so naturally he didn't care about their opinions.

After waiting for less than half an hour, nearly ten more people came one after another. Another staff member from CAA introduced the players to each other, mentioned some precautions, and then completely handed over the training time to them.

Their coach is a retired CBA player named Zhao.

Under the organization of coach Zhao, they started training.

The content of the training was very conventional. First, I practiced various basic techniques in one direction, and then spent half of the time practicing basic tactical coordination.

After all, they are not professional players. Although some of them have been in the youth team, it is impossible to make substantial progress in tactics in just one week. It can be said that the next game will completely depend on the previous accumulation.

At the end of the training, everyone was sweating profusely.

Zhuomei handed over the mineral water on the sidelines, and Lian Feng was not polite. He picked it up and drank it. After thinking about it, he asked: "By the way, where are your other contracted players?"

Zhuomei blushed slightly and said embarrassedly: "Where are the other players... I only signed a contract with you."

Lian Feng nodded: "That's not bad. It's better to sign well than to sign too many. You will become the most successful agent in the world in the future."

Zhuomei was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "So you are quite good at chatting!"

Lian Feng shrugged, "You will become the pride of CAA."

Zhuomei smiled and said: "Then I look forward to your performance!"

Time flies by so fast, and it’s game day in a blink of an eye.

He didn't show his cheetah skills during training. Coach Zhao is a traditional coach and didn't even let Lian forward hold the ball and organize, so he was completely unable to show his advantages during training.

Lian Feng couldn't help but feel helpless. Changing a coach would be a real headache.

Fortunately, under Coach Zhao's style of play, with his good mid-range shots and breakthroughs, he was still able to start the game, which is a consolation.

On the day of the game, there were not many spectators on the court, and some of them were scouts who had traveled thousands of miles from the other side of the ocean to watch Oden play. There was no cheering as expected, and the court seemed quiet.

Fortunately, this game was broadcast on television, so the attention was still quite high.

While Lian Feng and the others were warming up, the American Super High School Team entered the stage.

With a relaxed smile on his face, Oden took off his clothes, held the ball and dunked easily, making his teammates laugh.

Seeing Oden, Lian Feng and the others were stunned for a moment. They were silent for a moment and stopped what they were doing to look at the other side.

The center of the CAA team couldn't help but ask: "Are those guys...really high school students?"
