Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 333 In-Depth Contact
Before the two teams are about to start the battle, the visiting team will go to the home team's city to familiarize themselves with the environment in advance, and there will be jet lag.Therefore, the team's arrival at the training venue after the city in advance is a task that must be 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 the nearest university to borrow a venue for training, or train directly in the home team's training arena.

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

Therefore, it is necessary to make a face-to-face meeting in advance.

The training in the arena was in full swing. After Lian Feng finished the match, he led his trainer to a basketball hoop and practiced long shots.

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

this voice...

Lian Feng turned his head in surprise and saw James walking over slowly.He was wearing a loose tracksuit at this time, obviously just finished training.

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

At this time, it is too early to upgrade the shooting hotspots that are 10 meters away, and now practice shooting will not bring about qualitative changes before the game. Seeing that James is so idle, let him brag for a while.

"What's the matter, buddy, are you done training?"

"Yes. We've always been about efficiency."

"Is there a problem?"

"Just come and see tomorrow's opponents, I hope you guys are in good shape, it's interesting to win that way."

"Ah."

Lian Feng simply stopped training.

"Sorry, I don't know if it disturbed your shooting practice."

Lian Feng complained secretly, knowing whether he came to disturb you or not.

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

The two sat down on courtside seats.

"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 maliciously: "To be honest, your lineup is terrible, you can't beat mine."

"Really." James was 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 give me a hand." Lian Feng's smile became more and more weird.

James smiled crookedly, "Please, no one will let me be the second-in-command!"

"That's such a shame, then you're going to live in my shadow your entire career."

James laughed, laughed for a while, and then became serious: "Honestly, buddy, is that what you just called a recruitment? That's really ridiculous. You would say such a thing to me."

Lian Feng's eyes were strange. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Lian Feng has always been curious about why James in that time and space made that decision... Now is a very good opportunity to try to peek into the heart of this controversial superstar.

"But let's be honest, man, if you never won a championship with the Cavaliers, what would you choose?"

James was startled slightly, and shook his head: "Dude, 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... to change the subject, if Kobe can never beat 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, frowned slightly, and said: "To be honest, we all know that this is impossible. But I understand what you mean... You want to ask, the question of two or three superstars choosing to be together, right?"

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

Lian Feng shrugged and said indifferently: "Just thinking of this situation suddenly, do you think this is a shameless act?"

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

"Ah."

"It sounds like irony, but I don't actually. I know that there will be a lot of people who will judge that player, but history tells us that the moral judgment itself is the most problematic thing. The absolute truth you believe may be overturned one day."

Lian Feng was slightly taken aback. It was not surprising that James did not object to Baotuan, but the reason he gave was surprising.

James continued: "Every generation has its own environment, concepts, and choices. Our current basketball environment is the result of the creation of the 84 generation represented by Jordan. Jordan pioneered superstars relying on endorsements to make money. Jordan first started wearing red sneakers and so on... In short, huge endorsement fees, exclusive signature shoes, and high personal scores do not affect leading the team to win championships. After them, it has become a common thing."

Lian Feng frowned slightly.

"In the past, there was no mobile Internet, no mobile phones, and players didn't know what media traffic was, let alone thinking about problems with traffic thinking. But our generation is different, and each of us has a lot of influence on social media... I think that putting together a group of superstars to play on one team is the extreme embodiment of traffic thinking? Do you still remember that in 1992, the reason why the NBA made great strides to the world was because the dream team formed the strongest players in that year and gained a huge traffic bonus?"

What James said shocked Lian Feng.

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

Although...from a basketball point of view, he cannot agree with James' possible group 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 commercial league, and only fans will look at it from a pure basketball perspective.And other players are trying to surpass Jordan's commercial achievements.Before Jordan, the life of a player was just basketball and life. After him, it became basketball, life, and business.

This is history.

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

But... let's talk about basketball in terms of basketball. After all, I am quite pure, and I don't like business.

However, what James said next made Lian Feng stunned.

"Honestly, in some ways, you are my idol."

"what?"

"I mean, the business side. The investments you make, every project has exaggerated returns, and your vision impresses me, 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 ideas in this regard."

"Oh...hehe...good..."
