Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Before the two teams are about to start a war, the away team will go to the home team's city in advance to familiarize themselves with the environment and have to overcome the jet lag. Therefore, the team's training venue after arriving in the city in advance is a task that must be well guaranteed.

Unfortunately, after the Hornets arrived in Cleveland this time, there was no independent arena for them to use. This situation is very common for NBA teams. Under normal circumstances, they either go to a nearby university to borrow a venue for training. Or train directly at the home team's training facility.

The training venue of an NBA team is very large, and can accommodate at least six standard basketball courts. Although the Kacun Village is a bit small, the basketball training venue can still be guaranteed. In the home team training arena, there is a A slightly smaller training hall.

So, it was necessary to have an interview in advance.

Training was in full swing in the gym. After Lian Feng finished the match, Wu Zi and his trainer walked to a basketball stand and practiced long-range shots.

Then I heard a voice: "Dude, that's a really good shot."

This voice...

Lian Feng turned his head in surprise and saw James walking over slowly. He was wearing a loose sportswear and had obviously just finished training.

Well...at this stage, James is still wearing that iconic headband.

At this time, it is still early to upgrade the shooting hot zone 10 meters away, and practicing shooting now will not bring about qualitative changes before the game. Seeing that James is so free, then just brag with him for a while.

"What's wrong man, are you done training?"

"Yes. We always pay attention to efficiency."

"What's the matter?"

"I just came here to take a look at tomorrow's opponent. I hope you are in good condition. That way winning will be interesting."

"Oh."

Lian Feng simply stopped training.

"Sorry, I didn't know if I disturbed your shooting training."

Lian Feng complained secretly, knowing that he was not here to disturb you.

Thinking this in my heart, I still had a smile on my face: "It doesn't matter."

The two sat down on the seats next to the court.

"The last time we played against each other was last season!" James said seriously.

"Yes, you know, I haven't played much this season." After a pause, Lian Feng said with some evil intentions: "To be honest, your lineup is terrible, you can't beat mine."

"Really?" James looked quite confident: "That's not necessarily the case. We will win the championship. You have already won it. This time it is our turn."

"Listen, if you want to win the championship, there is only one way, and that is to come to the Hornets and work for me." Lian Feng's smile became even weirder.

James smiled crookedly, "Please, no one can let me play second fiddle!"

"That's such a shame, then you'll be living in my shadow for your entire career."

James laughed, laughed for a while, and then became serious: "Honestly, man, did what you just did count as recruitment? That's really nonsense. You would actually say such things to me."

Lian Feng's eyes were strange. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Lian Feng had always been curious about why James in that time and space made that decision... Now is a good opportunity, maybe he can try to spy on this controversial player. The heart of a superstar.

"But to be honest, man, if you never win a championship with the Cavaliers, what would you choose?"

James was slightly startled and shook his head: "Man, you are too confident."

Lian Feng knew that James didn't understand what he meant, so he thought about it and asked him directly.

"So... let's change the topic. If Kobe can never defeat our Hornets in the Lakers, so one day he chooses to join the Hornets, do you think this is a good idea?"

James was a little confused by this hypothesis. He frowned slightly and said, "Honestly, we all know this is impossible. But I understand what you mean... Do you want to ask, two or three

Is it right for two superstars to choose to be together?"

While saying this, James stared at Lian Feng with a strange look.

Lian Feng shrugged and said nonchalantly: "I just suddenly thought of this situation. Do you think it is a shameless behavior?"

James thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "The situation you mentioned will completely change the face of the basketball world."

"Um."

"It sounds like sarcasm, but I'm not. I know there will be a lot of people making moral judgments about that player, but history tells us that the moral judgment itself is the most problematic thing, what you believe to be the absolute truth,

Maybe it will be overturned one day."

Lian Feng was slightly startled. It was not surprising that James did not object to the grouping, but the reason he gave was surprising.

James continued: "Each generation has its own environment, concepts, and choices. Our current basketball environment is the result of the 1984 generation represented by Jordan. Jordan pioneered the way superstars rely on endorsements to make money. Jordan first began to wear

Unconventional red sneakers, etc... In short, huge endorsement fees, exclusive signature shoes, and high personal scores do not affect leading the team to win the championship. After them, it became a common thing."

Lian Feng frowned slightly.

"Before, there was no mobile Internet or mobile phones. Players didn't understand what media traffic was, let alone think about problems with traffic thinking. But our generation is different. Each of us has a lot of influence on social media.

...I think that putting a group of superstars together to play on a team is an extreme manifestation of flow thinking? Do you still remember 1992? The reason why the NBA took great strides to the world was not because of that year

The dream team formed the strongest players and received huge traffic dividends?"

James' words shocked Lian Feng.

To be honest, on some issues, he, a reborn time traveler, is not as clear as James.

Although... from a basketball perspective, he cannot agree with James' possible grouping behavior in the future, but... you have to admit that what James said makes sense.

The wheel of history is rolling forward, and it doesn't care whether you understand it or not, or whether you like it or not.

The NBA is a business league, and only fans will look at it from a pure basketball perspective. Other players are trying to surpass Jordan's business achievements. Before Jordan, the life of players was only basketball and life. After him,

It became basketball, life, and business.

This is history.

I have to say that James is indeed a genius and a shrewd businessman. Lian Feng even has reason to believe in you. Even if James does not play basketball, he will succeed in other fields.

But... let’s just talk about basketball. After all, I am quite pure and I don’t like business.

However, James' next words made Lian Feng stunned.

"To be honest, in some ways, you are my idol."

"ah?"

"I mean, in terms of business. Every project you make from the investments you make has exaggerated returns. I admire your vision, as if you know what will happen to those projects. I am also trying to do similar things,

I hope we can keep in touch and exchange experiences in this regard.”

"Oh...hehe...ok..."
