Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Lian Feng once again saw the shrewdness of capitalists.

The 76ers asked themselves not to participate in trials with other teams. The main purpose was naturally to get him at the lowest price. Of course, the price here does not mean how much salary they have to pay him.

"Lian, the conditions we offered are very generous! For a newcomer like you, we don't even have a video of your game, but we can get a contract of more than one year, and we can also guarantee that there will be players in the first three games.

The playing time is simply unbelievable to others. You know, even Kobe had to sit on the bench for a long time before he could play!"

Lian Feng thought for a while and quickly understood the 76ers' intentions.

As long as he does not participate in trials with other teams, then based on his reputation, no one will use precious draft picks to select him.

Then, the 76ers can sign him with a second-round pick without any difficulty.

But...just a second-round pick?

Lian Feng felt a little dizzy and thought for a while before saying, "I want to discuss this matter with my agent."

The examiners looked at each other, and the examiner said: "Of course, this is your right. But don't make us wait too long."

…

After returning to the hotel, Lian Feng told Zhuomei about the incident.

Zhuomei fell into deep thought and glanced at Lian Feng: "What are your plans?"

Lian Feng said: "I want to hear your opinion."

Zhuomei thought for a moment and asked seriously: "First of all, you have to tell me whether you are willing to join the 76ers. If you don't consider this team at all, then there is nothing to analyze."

Lian Feng said: "If I had not considered the 76ers at all, then I would not have participated in their trial training. In fact, my original intention was that if I could pass the trial training of more than two teams, then I would choose

If a team I like joins, if there is only one team, no matter which team it is, I will accept the fate. But the current situation is...either give up other options, or give up the 76ers."

Zhuomei nodded: "Yes, since the 76ers have offered this condition, it means they will not select you for more than a second-round pick."

"I just feel so bad..."

Zhuomei thought for a while, but shook her head: "I don't think so."

"Um?"

Zhuomei stood up, poured a cup of coffee for Lian Feng, and then said: "The 76ers are willing to promise to give you more than 10 minutes of playing time in the first three games, which shows that they do not completely use you as a billboard."

"What does it mean?"

"Well... you first have to be clear about the purpose of these teams inviting you for trial training. Of course it's not because they fancy your abilities... I think the teams that sent the invitations have probably never heard of you.

Name. They just take a fancy to the market behind you... Hee. This is also the result of our CAA operation."

Although what Zhuomei Zhuomei said was a bit heartless, Lian Feng knew that what she said was the truth.

"But the 76ers are different. Putting forward such conditions shows that they don't just regard you as a sign, but really value your player attributes, your abilities and potential!"

Lian Feng remained silent.

"I heard that a player once experienced a similar thing when he was drafted. I forgot the name of that player. He also failed to participate in the joint trial training. Later, he performed well in the trial training invited by the team.

The team owner immediately expressed his willingness to sign him, but the condition is that he can no longer participate in trials with other teams."

"Not only that, the boss also strictly ordered the team staff to keep the player's performance during the trial training. His original words seemed to be, if any of you dare to leak XX's performance on the court, he will be fired.

!”

"In the end, the team selected that player with a very low pick. And he did not disappoint the team. In his rookie season, he averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds per game."

Lian Feng took a sip of coffee and thought about everything.

"So do you think I should join the 76ers?"

Zhuomei thought for a moment, "Well... To be honest, the atmosphere in Philadelphia is better. At least you won't suffer excessive discrimination because of your skin color. But the same cannot be said for other states and cities. In some states that discriminate against Chinese people, the people will not support you.

, then no matter how much the team needs you, they must also consider attendance, thereby reducing your playing time."

"I think playing time is very important for a new player like you. Playing means exposure, especially domestic fans will continue to pay attention to you. Only with enough playing time can we help you win higher commercial activities.

Endorsement creates conditions.”

From the perspective of an agent, Zhuomei is of course considering the business perspective. But Lian Feng has his own thinking.

As a player, the first consideration is of course entering the NBA. Rookies don't have many choices. From this point of view, the 76ers are not much different from other teams. Since they can guarantee that they will choose themselves, of course it is better.

But after entering the NBA, performance and self-improvement are also things that must be considered. No one wants to be an unknown marginal role all his life.

Honor, income, these things are all accessories brought by performance and strength.

Although I have an injury system, as long as there are games and injuries, my strength will improve, but that is only personal strength. But tactics, game experience, locker room, chemical reaction between teams, NBA culture...all kinds of things are not

What the system can bring him.

To achieve good results, it is also very important whether the team is suitable for you.

There are too many examples of players with strong personal abilities who did not perform well because the team did not match them. There are also many examples of players who were not strong but performed at a higher level when they met a team that suited them.

The 76ers in the 2005-06 season were on the verge of collapse and reorganization. This is something that everyone in this era can see.

The 76ers' inability to compete for a championship is just one aspect.

The key is that with Iverson as the core team, they have been trained by Larry Brown for nearly 10 years, relying on the superstar's style of play has already penetrated into the team's marrow. After Larry Brown left, their coach

Three changes were made because no coach could control the 76ers who relied on superstars to develop a stubborn problem.

What is the current situation of the 76ers?

His organizational skills are in shambles, and handing the ball to Iverson is the only tactic. Among the players, the biggest names are Iverson and Webber. Their offensive performance is acceptable, but Webber is plagued by injuries and has a defensive black hole. And Iverson

Although Ferson can still contribute 1.9 steals per game, once he is misplaced by the opponent's tactics, he is often a cash machine in the middle and inside at a height of 183cm.

In fact, what Cheeks is good at is defense and organization, but in the 76ers' first year, the 76ers' defense and organization were at the bottom of the league.

Is such a team really suitable for me?

But if the 76ers are missed, can the remaining teams guarantee their playing time? Or even...are they willing to take a gamble on themselves?

Lian Feng has no self-confidence. Coaches of other teams can be as discerning as Cheeks. You know, although he performed well in the trial training, he has no high-level game data to refer to. It is really impossible to select him or not.

Sure.

There are so many strong first-round picks, those players are all players who dominate a certain league, their physical fitness is abnormal, they are still young, they are still trembling in the draft, and they are so excited that they shed tears when they are selected, let alone Lian Feng?

So he fell into deep tangle.

Seeing this, Zhuomei stopped making any sound. It was really hard for him. He had to make a major decision that might affect his career in such a short period of time.

Zhuomei just stayed silently with Lian Feng.

Lian Feng thought patiently for more than an hour, then suddenly raised his head, with a twinkling light in his eyes, and said to Zhuomei: "Please help me contact the 76ers, just say... thank them for their recognition! I will prove that they have done the right thing.

choose!"
