Chapter 57 57. True Leaders, False Leaders

"Kyle Kuzma invited you to join the group."

Early in the morning, Lin Feng was woken up by a push on Twitter.

Kuzma created a group called "Lakers Champions" and is pulling people around.

It looked good, Lin Feng clicked OK, and then entered the chat group with more than a dozen people.

He looked at the roster, all the Lakers fierce players, Stephenson just shared a funny photo of himself playing the pipa, this guy looks in a good mood.

"Welcome to our newcomer, Gary Smith!"

Kuzma was both the group host and the welcomer, and he was very busy.

Lin Feng sent a smiling expression. As a younger brother, he should keep a low profile, and let's see what the bosses say first.

James and Rondo are the big brothers of this Lakers team, and they are very prestigious in the league.

Lao Zhan posted a beautiful photo of the gym training, along with the young Cavaliers Chedi Osman.

Lin Feng was a little envious of that kid named Osman, Cavalier Zhan's queen "chest bumper", who often practiced with big guys during the offseason.

One day I will be able to train with my big brothers, that is such an amazing thing.

"Hai brother."

Hart greeted Lin Feng inside, he was still in Las Vegas.

After the end of the summer season, the team will take a vacation on the spot. They can choose to fly back to Los Angeles with the team or continue to stay there to enjoy the vacation.

Hart plans to relax before the team officially starts training, go to a certain island for vacation with his girlfriend, and so on.

Rajon Rondo, this is one of Lin Feng's favorite players. He served as the starting point guard next to the Big Three, an absolute big-time player.

What's interesting is that in this newly formed team, several teammates have had major or minor grievances.

For example, when the Celtics competed with the Heat, Rondo once took a photo with a female fan wearing clothes that insulted Lao Zhan.

Another example is that everyone in the league knows that Lance Stephenson is known as the number one "Zhan Chuan". The two often contributed interesting scenes in matchups, and now they have become teammates fighting side by side.

Lin Feng really wanted to see the scene where his junior brother and Lao Zhan met for the first time. In response to the old Chinese saying, if you don't fight, you don't know each other?

Lin Feng still has to go to the hospital today for routine checkups.The swelling in his ankle has subsided and he can walk slowly on his right leg.

He believes that the current atmosphere in the Lakers team is very harmonious, although those potential problems have not yet surfaced.

For example, the communication problem between the veteran and the young coach, the space problem of the team, the problem of starting and rotation, etc.

After chatting with his teammates, Lin Feng planned to go to the hospital for reexamination, so he had to postpone buying a car for a few days and use Qiqi's second-hand Volvo for the time being.

It is also good to go to the hospital for reexamination, that is, you can enjoy the meticulous care of beautiful nurses.It's a pity that the man in charge of Lin Feng was a male doctor. His big hairy hands pinched Lin Feng's legs back and forth, making Lin Feng very uncomfortable.

"How do you feel, Mr. Smith?"

After pinching for a while, the doctor nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Feng was sweating all over, and he always felt that this guy had malicious intentions, but considering that he is a famous surgeon in Los Angeles, he shouldn't have any problems after thinking about it.

"I feel like I can go back to training and everything is fine."

It's only been a week, and Lin Feng's calf no longer feels strange. I don't know if it's because of the soul wear, the body heals faster.

It sounds very unscientific. To be on the safe side, the doctor asked him to continue his recovery for half a month before he could touch basketball.

This matter will suffocate him, can't he touch basketball?Crazier than not being able to touch a woman.

"Okay, okay, I try to be a quiet boy, watch TV and listen to music every day, and live the life of an elderly person."

Lin Feng said helplessly.

The doctor seems to understand basketball players' love for basketball. He has come into contact with many basketball stars. Those people have the same restlessness and absolute love for basketball as Lin Feng.

After a while, Perkins came to the hospital. The two were supposed to be together, but he was delayed for an hour to deal with Caruso's contract issue.

"What's the matter, I mean Caruso's contract." Lin Feng was more concerned about his teammates.

Perkins nodded, "A one-year two-way contract of [-] US dollars, the new season is the last year, I hope Caruso can get a good guarantee contract next year."

The doctor next to him smiled and listened to the conversation between the two, and interjected, "7 annual salary? It's higher than most ordinary people, and you can buy a nice car."

After coming out of the hospital, Lin Feng wanted to go to the community court to shoot, but Perkins sternly refused.

Because shooting requires the use of leg strength, Perkins worried that Lin Feng would be pulled to some important place before he fully recovered, causing secondary injuries.

"It's okay buddy, it's just a muscle strain, don't need to be so nervous."

Lin Feng felt a little helpless, staying away from the court for the past few days, he felt that the bones all over his body were going crazy, and the only way to relieve it was to stand on the basketball court.

Basketball works better than painkillers.

Under Lin Feng's repeated insistence, Perkins had no choice but to drive the car into a nearby field field.

"Listen, don't do anything that will hurt yourself." Perkins looked very nervous, and he didn't want to make any mistakes.

Standing on the basketball court again, Lin Feng felt relaxed and happy, and even his breathing became much easier.

"Don't worry Qiqi, I'm still thinking about getting a big contract next year, the one with tens of millions of dollars, how could it be possible to overturn at this juncture."

Lin Feng tried to shoot. Because he had to take care of his calf, he had to change his shooting posture a little to try not to make the calf muscle tense.

Perkins acts as a caddy. Los Angeles is not too hot in July, but the temperature is gradually rising. It is estimated that August and September will usher in the peak. By then, playing outside can cause heat stroke.

"You shot well. I didn't expect your three-pointers to improve so much."

Perkins' fat body was already sweating, and Lin Feng just shot at a few points.

Lin Feng joked, "I am the king of Los Angeles. In the future, the Staples Center will have the number 11 retired jersey, and my portrait will also appear on the opposite street."

"Okay, okay, I've heard enough of your talk, just don't get benched during the regular season. The team has four point guards, and even Caruso is capable. , you're going to compete with Rajon Rondo for the second team? He's a man with a championship ring."

Perkins can always see far away. He believes that the team should not introduce Rondo, because the team's backcourt configuration is too bloated.

Lin Feng didn't take it seriously, competing with your favorite star is a kind of recognition, which shows that you have the ability to compete with him.

Moreover, Lin Feng thinks that he can appear in the second position and act as the firepower output of the substitute lineup.

"Go for a drink, maybe you can meet something."

After a while, Perkins was out of breath. He really should lose weight, and this will only make him gradually stay away from basketball.
