Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

In this era, schools are the hardest hit by fans.

At this time, there are many people watching NBA games. The cafeteria is crowded and the restaurants are packed with students watching the game. If it is a Rockets game, there will be even more.

There are only two types of fans in China, one is the fans of the two teams of the Hornets and Rockets. The other is the fans who like the Hornets and Rockets and the other team at the same time.

There may only be a few small blue-screen mobile phones in a class, and all the boys in the class will gather around the owners of these small mobile phones to watch text live broadcasts, buy a copy of the Basketball Pioneer newspaper and circulate it to a dozen people, and each person will hold a page.

Basketball commentator Yu Jia said that Chinese fans in this era are lucky because they have Lian Feng and Yao Ming.

On a program, Yu Jia made a touching statement.

"There is no doubt that many years from now, Lian Feng will become the youth of this generation."

"They will look back on themselves many years later, standing under the TV with their lunch boxes in their hands and looking up at the game."

"Even after dinner time, the cafeteria uncle couldn't push people away. When the TV was turned off, there was a burst of noise. Only the teacher from the teaching department could drive people back to the classroom."

"I will also reminisce about practicing the extraordinary moves and shooting movements on the court..."

"And the No. 99 jerseys on the court."

The host asked: "Is it also your youth?"

Yu Jia laughed loudly: "Me? I'm afraid it's the second spring..." and then said frankly: "But I am indeed a fan of Lian Feng. I am trying to write a biography for him... But his time

The arrangements are quite tight and I haven’t found the opportunity yet.”

This year's playoffs started with a battle between the Rockets and the Hornets.

No matter who advances, it will be a happy and sad thing for Chinese fans.

In this game, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans even spread to the United States across the ocean.

The team was training that day, and Bobby Jackson suddenly ran in very excitedly.

Lian Feng glanced at it and said dissatisfied: "Man! You are late."

Bobby Jackson chuckled: "Don't blame me! How about this? I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight, okay?"

When they heard about the dinner treat, David West and Tyson Chandler came over and said, "We all heard it."

"Of course! Of course! The listener has a share!"

Lian Feng put his hands on his hips and said in a leadership-like manner: "Tell me, what good thing has happened to you?"

Bobby Jackson had a smile on his face: "That's it, I signed a sneaker endorsement! I'm about to have exclusive sneakers!"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Are you bragging? Are you sure you are not talking about wearing a certain sneaker to play, but having a tailor-made sneaker?"

"Hey! Of course they are exclusive sneakers."

"What brand is that?"

"It's a Chinese sports brand called 361 Degrees."

Lian Feng couldn't help coughing.

God damn three hundred and sixty-one degrees.

As soon as they heard that it was a Chinese brand, the Hornets players showed clear expressions.

"So that's it. You have to thank Lian Feng!" David West said: "In fact, we all have to thank him. If it weren't for Lian Feng, the team would not have so many Chinese fans paying attention.

It’s even less possible for us to get contracts that the main players of other teams can’t get.”

David West is clearly aware of this. Since this season, his teammates have received endorsements from Chinese brands one after another, and even ordinary rotation players can sign a good contract.

Paul even signed a three-year, 40 million contract with Li Ning of China!

There is no doubt that this is Lian Feng's contribution.

Just like Yao Ming's Rockets, they benefited from the exposure brought by Lian Feng. By the way, to use a Chinese proverb, it should be called chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.

Not only that, the team's market value has also tripled, and the home court is full of Chinese brand advertisements. This team, like the Rockets, has become the darling of Chinese sponsors.

The same is true for David West himself. He followed Lian Feng and obtained the endorsement of Hongxing Erke.

How can someone not love such a teammate?

But one thing is that the contracts given to them by sponsors are all due to Lian Feng's influence, so the contracts signed are all within 3 years.

After all, Lian Feng's contract with the Hornets is for three years, so it is foreseeable that whether he can continue to renew his contract with the endorsement brand depends on whether he can play beside Lian Feng.

Paul didn't say anything, but he was very grateful to Lian Feng in his heart. He was only a second-year rookie and his salary was not high, so at this stage he still liked money.

Like the Rockets, the Hornets' locker room atmosphere is harmonious.

Because everyone knows that if you confront Lian Feng, it will definitely affect your image in the Chinese market and thus your endorsements.

Of course, Paul also knew that it did not mean that everyone was friendly just for money. Lian Feng's personality charm also convinced them.

Lian Feng indeed has a lot to learn from!

…

Team training.

The forward received a pass from Paul and then pulled up from the three-point line to shoot.

The basketball missed.

Byron Scott clapped his hands to tell everyone to stop.

"Lian Feng, why don't you try to break through? At that position, you can break through to the mid-range and then stop for a jump shot, then the hit rate will be much higher!"

Lian Feng listened silently, but he couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

In the eyes of a coach like Byron Scott who is traditional and can even be said to be old-fashioned, it is irrational to choose a 3-point shot when he has the opportunity to shoot from mid-range to improve his shooting percentage.

But in the future small ball era, your choice will never be considered problematic by the coach.

Therefore, whether the team can win or not, the coach has a great influence.

After the regular season, the team has three days to rest, and then comes the intense playoffs. Today is the first day. The team must conduct targeted training in order to face the Rockets, so there is not that much rest time.

After a short break, the training match continued.

Lian Feng ran into an open space and Paul passed the ball over again.

This time, Lian Feng swayed outside the three-point line and then broke through with his shoulders down.

The defender is Desmond Mason, who presses closely and does not allow space.

Lian Feng suddenly stopped and pulled back, throwing Desmond Mason far away.

Then, Lian Feng jumped up high and made a shooting posture.

At this moment, Lian Feng felt as if his brain had been electrocuted.

There was cramping pain in my waist.

Lian Feng's movements were distorted and he threw the ball, hitting the basket and bouncing away.

Lian Feng fell to the ground and frowned.

But he didn't show that he was injured.

No one noticed him either.

Although the goal was not scored, Byron Scott applauded and said loudly: "Well done! Just play like this."

Lian Feng turned around and said, "Coach, I think I need to take a rest."

Byron Scott raised his hand and looked at his watch, thought for a moment, and began to greet others: "Okay, come over here! Let's sum it up and call it a day."

The team cheered.

When Byron Scott began to summarize, Lian Feng endured the strong discomfort in his waist and began to browse the skills.
