Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

A week later, Lian Feng was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round as promised.

At the time of the draft, at midnight, Lian Feng was sleeping. Zhuomei called and told him excitedly that he had been selected.

Lian Feng said angrily: "Didn't you already know this? Do you deserve to be so excited?"

After saying that, Lian Feng fell down and went to sleep.

Zhuomei put down her phone angrily.

Really. It was obviously such an exciting thing! But he acted so dull.

It makes me happy in vain.

Well, but... no matter how you put it, it's obviously something worth being happy about! Forget it, he doesn't feel it, just be happy with him.

Zhuomei was so excited that she stayed up all night.

However, Lian Feng was woken up by a phone call early the next morning.

This time it wasn't Zhuomei. In fact, since early in the morning, her phone number couldn't even come in.

Lian Feng picked them up and saw that they were former teammates. He instantly realized the purpose of their call.

After thinking about it, I picked it up.

Sure enough, the person on the other end of the phone expressed shock that he entered the NBA and congratulated him on his successful entry into the world's highest basketball hall.

Lian Feng could only express his gratitude with a dry smile.

This happened for several calls in a row. Lian Feng was so annoyed that he simply turned off his phone, and the world suddenly became a lot cleaner.

Since the last public physical test, Lian Feng's whereabouts will naturally continue to be paid attention to by some people. After ESPN announced the draft list, it was discovered that Lian Feng's name appeared on the list. How can we not be surprised?

Even if he is just a second-round pick.

This has nothing to do with the draft. If a Chinese can enter the NBA, it is news.

Yesterday's training was a bit heavy, so Lian Feng lay on the sofa and refused to get up, looking at the ceiling to relax.

Fell asleep again.

But such a happy life did not last long when he was woken up by a knock on the door.

When she opened the door, it was Zhuomei who was visibly relieved when she saw Lian Feng.

"You, you, why is your phone turned off!"

Lian Feng rubbed his eyes: "What's wrong?"

"Please, you are now considered a public figure, and many people are paying attention to you. There must be many media who want to get first-hand news, and I must stay with you at this time!"

Lian Feng thought for a moment and opened the door to let Zhuomei in.

The room was in a mess, Zhuomei sighed helplessly.

Lian Feng casually opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice mineral water, and said, "I have an immature idea."

"what idea?"

"I think...you can just help me deal with all the messy stuff from the media and reporters."

"Then what are you doing?"

Lian Feng took a sip of ice water and then stood up.

Even though Lian Feng is 2 meters tall, he still feels very oppressive when standing in front of Zhuo Mei.

Zhuomei raised her head and looked at Lian Feng in confusion: "What...what are you doing?"

Lian Feng shook his head, pressed his big hand on Zhuo Mei's head, and rubbed it...

Then there were dissatisfied protests from the girls.

Lian Feng messed up Zhuomei's hair with satisfaction and walked away expressionlessly. As he walked, he said:

"I'm a player..."

Zhuomei, who was a little angry at first, was suddenly stunned when she heard these words.

"I'm a player..."

This sentence lingered in her mind repeatedly.

Lian Feng looked at Zhuomei's expression and laughed: "I won't do those messy things. I want to be pure, concentrate on playing, and concentrate on improving myself. I don't want to hear the voices of the outside world, and I don't want to hear my own voice.

Convey it. For a profession like ours, performance is everything, playing, improving, performance... I have to think about how to make myself stronger this summer..."

"There will be people out there paying attention to me, of course I know...for news. You also need me to speak out and get some exposure, and I also know...for business. But I think that the best way to speak out is to achieve results, and that's it.

Things that can best increase commercial value. Otherwise, the more exposure you have, the more you will become a laughing stock."

Zhuomei stayed for a while.

Lian Feng began to take off his pajamas without hesitation in front of Zhuo Mei, put on a big sweatshirt, and then laughed: "Okay, come with me after you figure this out."

Only then did Zhuomei react and blush: "Where are you going?"

Lian Feng said: "Come with me to eat."

…

Zhuomei said nothing during the whole eating process.

Lian Feng sent Zhuo Mei to CAA. She suddenly stopped and stared at Lian Feng, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

"What?"

Zhuomei said seriously: "Lian Feng, you are right. As long as you believe in me, I will help you take care of everything off the court! You only need to concentrate on playing, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

Lian Feng said: "That's right. Believe me, you will be the most successful basketball agent in the future!"

Zhuomei laughed, laughing from the bottom of her heart.

Hmm...this guy is so confident that it's fascinating.

…

Lian Feng did what he said. No matter what the news said or how the outside world commented, he would not respond to a word or take the initiative to pay attention.

After all, Dayao is the focus of everyone's attention. In this era of underdeveloped information transmission, Lian Feng will soon no longer be discussed so intensively.

Everyone is waiting for the news about Lian Feng's game.

After Lian Feng completed the graduation procedures, he finally focused all his energy on training.

When there are no injuries, training can also improve oneself, especially strength.

Lian Feng understands that at this time, all parties are paying attention to his first few games. The 76ers, fans, major sponsors, and CAA who have invested a lot in him.

Once he doesn't perform well in the first few games, he may suddenly fall into the abyss.

Therefore, for this goal, we must work hard!

For the next entire summer, Lian Feng spent almost all of his time in the gym, at home, and in the training hall.

With Zhuomei's hard work and persistence, CAA used its connections to allow him to train at a club's training hall, and hired a reliable trainer and a nutritionist for him.

CAA's fees are the same as most brokerage companies, which is 4%. This includes not only salary income, but also income generated from endorsements and various commercial activities coordinated by CAA. Therefore, even for themselves, agents will work hard to help players earn more.

big benefits.

In fact, it is not as difficult for players to obtain an agent as many people think. In order to snatch players, some agents will cast a wide net. For many slightly famous student players, agents will proactively come to provide services.

However, CAA’s model is quite special. They are one agent for the entire company. This has been written before, so I won’t go into details here.

…

This period of time has been really boring and painful.

Lian Feng's training is very scientific. While squeezing all the strength out of his muscles, he must also ensure that he does not suffer training injuries.

"The principle of muscle growth is over-recovery. But strength growth is not just about muscle growth. Nerve bundling ability is also crucial."

"Make sure you build muscle without losing agility."

"For basketball players, isolation training is not recommended. You have to do more compound strength training...like tire flips and stuff like that."

"In terms of diet, it is better to supplement protein than to directly supplement amino acids. I have prepared these essential amino acids for you..."

Lian Feng trained until he vomited every day, and at the same time, he had to eat the unpalatable nutritional meal and vomit it again.

Not only that, after training and eating, rest is equally important. It can even be said that without rest, the first two items are equivalent to nothing... He has lost all nightlife and entertainment items.

The life of going to bed at 8 o'clock and getting up at 6 o'clock every day lasts until the end of summer.

However, Lian Feng felt fulfilled and happy.

Under such violent torture, his body underwent incredible changes.

His arms are thicker and his shoulders are fuller. Although he can't be called a muscular man, he has a completely different body shape than he was a few months ago.

This summer, he gained 10 kilograms in weight. His body fat percentage increased slightly, but it did not affect the overall situation.

My physical strength has also improved a lot, and adapting to the intensity of the NBA is no longer a problem.
