Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 35 Lian Feng's Choice
Lian Feng once again saw the shrewdness of capitalists.

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

"Lian, the conditions we offered are very generous! For a rookie like you, we don't even have a video of your game, but we can get a contract for more than one year, and we can guarantee you in the first three games. Playing time, which is unbelievable for other people. You know, even Kobe, he sat on the bench for a long time to play!"

Lian Feng thought for a while, and soon understood the intention of the 76ers.

As long as he doesn't participate in the trial training of other teams, then according to his reputation, no one will use his precious draft picks to choose him.

Then, the 76ers will have no trouble signing him with the second-round pick.

But...just a second-round pick?
Lian Feng was a little dizzy, thought for a while and said, "I want to discuss this matter with my manager."

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 Zhuo Mei about it.

Zhuo Mei fell into deep thought, and glanced at Lian Feng: "How did you plan?"

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

Zhuo Mei pondered 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 hadn't considered the 76ers at all, then I wouldn't have participated in their trial training. In fact, my original plan was that if I could pass the trial training of more than two teams, then I would choose the 76ers. A favorite to join, if there is only one team, then no matter which team it is, I will accept fate. But the current situation is ... either to give up other options, or to give up the [-]ers."

Zhuo Mei nodded: "That's right, since the 76ers have offered this condition, it means that they will not use more than the price of the second round to select you."

"I feel bad..."

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

"Ok?"

Zhuo Mei got up, poured a cup of coffee for Lian Feng, and said: "The 76ers are willing to promise you more than 10 minutes of playing time in the first three games, which shows that they don't completely use you as a billboard."

"What does it mean?"

"Well...you must first be clear about the purpose of these teams sending you trial training invitations. Of course it is not because they fancy your ability... I think that the teams that sent invitations have probably never heard of you. Name. They just took a fancy to the market behind you... hee. This is also the result of our CAA operation."

Although what Zhuo Mei Zhuo Mei said was a bit heartless, Lian Feng knew what she said was the truth.

"But the 76ers are different. Raising such a condition shows that they don't just regard you as a signboard, but really take a fancy to your player attributes, your ability and potential!"

Lian Feng remained silent.

"I heard that there was a player who experienced similar things during the draft. 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 on the condition that he can no longer participate in other teams' trials."

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

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

Lian Feng took a sip of coffee, thinking about everything.

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

Zhuomei thought for a while, "Well... To be honest, Philadelphia has a better atmosphere, at least you won't suffer excessive discrimination because of your skin color. But it's not necessarily the case in other cities. In some states that discriminate against Chinese, the people don't support you. , then no matter how much the team needs you, attendance should also be taken into consideration, thereby reducing your playing time.”

"I think playing time is very important for a rookie player like you. Playing means exposure, especially domestic fans will continue to pay attention to you. Enough playing time can help us fight for higher commercial activities, Endorsement creates conditions."

From the point of view of a broker, Zhuomei is of course considering the point of view of business.But Lian Feng has his own thinking.

As a player, the first consideration is of course to enter the NBA.Rookies don't have many options.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 for a lifetime.

Honors, income, these things are all accessories brought by achievements and strength.

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

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

There are too many examples of players with strong personal abilities who did not perform well due to mismatched teams.There are also many examples of players who are not strong, but meet a team that suits them and perform at a higher level.

The 05 in the 06-76 season was on the verge of collapse and reorganization.This is something that people in this era can see.

The 76ers' inability to compete for the championship is only one aspect.

The key is that the team with Iverson as the core, under the training of Larry Brown, they have been fighting for nearly 10 years, relying on the superstar style of play has already penetrated into the bone marrow of the team.After Larry Brown left, their coaches changed three times in a short period of time, because no coach could control the 76ers who relied on superstars to form a chronic disease.

What is the current situation of the 76ers?

The organizational skills are messed up, and handing the ball to Iverson is the only tactic.Among the players, the biggest players are Iverson and Webber. Their offensive performance is acceptable, but Weber is plagued by injuries and has a black hole in defense.Although Iverson can still contribute an average of 1.9 steals per game, once he is misplaced by the opponent's tactics, the height of 183 is often a cash machine for the inside.

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

Is such a team really suitable for you?
But if the 76ers are missed, can the remaining teams guarantee their playing time?Even... Are they willing to gamble on themselves?
Lian Feng has no self-confidence, and the coaches of other teams can be as discerning as Cheeks.You know, although he performed well during the trial training, but there is no reference to high-level competition data, it is really uncertain whether he will be selected or not.

The first-round picks are full of strong players. Those players are all players who dominate a certain league. Their physical fitness is abnormal. They are still young.
So he fell into a deep tangle.

Seeing this, Zhuo Mei stopped making a sound.It was really embarrassing for him to make a major decision that might affect his career in such a short period of time.

Zhuo Mei just silently accompanied Lian Feng.

Lian Feng thought about it patiently for more than an hour, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes sparkled, and said to Zhuo Mei: "Help me contact the 76ers, just say... thank them for their approval! I will prove that they did the most correct thing." choose!"
