Chapter 14 14. The conflict in the training match

The car Perkins said was a used Volvo SUV with 6 miles.

The space is large enough, and Lin Feng, who is 191 centimeters tall, does not look crowded when he sits in it.Originally, it was just talking, but I didn't expect that Lao Pa really sent the car.

Gary Smith has a driver's license, but Lin Feng has not driven a car in the United States. Fortunately, he drives on the right side like Huaxia, otherwise he will be in big trouble.

The training in the next few days was very hard, and it basically ended when I was exhausted.

Lin Feng's stealing talent is gradually revealed, and the magical ability of "foreseeing for three seconds" is matching his body. From predicting the opponent's pass to rushing to steal with his calf, this set of movements is becoming more and more proficient.

Accurate steals are only a matter of time.

As July approaches, the summer league will start soon, and Lao Zhan and others will also announce their airborne landing in Los Angeles.

On June 6, the rookies of the Lakers had their final joint practice in Los Angeles and flew to Sacramento in the evening.

The two places are not far apart, both in California, with a straight-line distance of 581 kilometers, and it takes only 70 minutes by plane.

The trading market is already undercurrent. Some players have reached a verbal agreement with their new owners, and the market will open after twelve o'clock tonight.

The last Los Angeles training focused on finding the rhythm and low confrontation to prevent injuries. This gave Lin Feng a good opportunity to practice three-second precise steals.

Today's training is a mixed group, focusing on fast break and defensive counterattack.

Mikhailiuk is the star of the coaching staff because his three-point shooting is very stable. Whether it is the current Lakers or the Lakers after Lao Zhan's airborne, they are short of shooters.

Hart didn't need to participate in training. Lin Feng's opponent today became Marco Jones, a veteran of the South Bay. He has played in the Development League for six years and basically has no chance of entering the NBA.

Against such a player, Lin Feng can easily create singles opportunities to complete layups.Or rush into the paint and pass the ball to an open teammate under the opponent's double-team.

Jones didn't seem to like Lin Feng very much. Maybe it was because Gary Smith was carrying the glory of his college days, which made Jones feel uncomfortable, or maybe Gary had cheated on his girlfriend.

Lin Feng could feel that the 195cm point guard Jones had been confronting himself.Coach Bichler made it clear before that this is just a state game, and let everyone adjust to the best state.

He and his partner Caruso take turns playing the role of organizing offense with the ball, which is also the current dilemma of the Lakers.Lack of shooting guards with shooting ability, only point guards can play cameos.

Wagner worked very hard to get a position inside, and the inside line formed by him and Jonathan was very deterrent.They'll be doing most of the defensive heavy lifting in summer league.

In an attack, Lin Feng stretched out his finger to call for a pick-and-roll, and Jonathan quickly blocked Marko Jones, creating space for him to break through.

Lin Feng dribbled the ball straight to the basket, and passed the ball to Mikhailiuk at a 45-degree angle with someone assisting on the opposite side.

Miha, who was in good form, raised the knife and dropped the basketball, and the basketball drew a low and flat arc into the net.

The assist was easily completed, and Miha, who had a higher pick than Lin Feng, gestured to him to indicate that the pass was good, as if he regarded Lin Feng as the team leader.

"Micks, I said not to switch defenses, I can keep up with that guy's footsteps." Jones muttered and condemned his teammates, which was a bad sign.

Infighting before the game is a taboo.

Originally Jones thought he would get a chance to play in the summer league, but he didn't expect to airborne Gary Smith, who is also a point guard, and this guy is still very good. Seeing that he is going to roll back to play in the Development League, Jones is very annoyed.

But he forgot that competitive sports are inherently cruel, and this is a place where only the strong can survive.

The white guy named Meeks felt very wronged. Jones was simply shirking responsibility. If he hadn't changed his defense just now, Gary would have made it easier for him to break through.

Whether it is Meeks himself or Jones, it is impossible to keep up with Lin Feng's footsteps.Besides, today Coach Bichler asked to reduce the intensity of defense and try to play confrontation instead of defense.

Jones, with an angry face, dribbled the ball halfway to attack the basket.

What Lin Feng thought in his heart was that if this guy planned to rush in like a bulldozer, then he would disarm and surrender and block it symbolically.

Unexpectedly, when Lin Feng gave up the breakthrough route, this kid deliberately found a confrontation, deliberately leaned on him, intending to squeeze Lin Feng away to save face.

For a moment, I could hear the sound of my bones being hit. Caruso stepped forward to double-team. I thought Jones would give up the breakthrough and choose to pass the ball. I didn't expect this guy to push Caruso away with his body. Constantly pushing and shoving, striding into the restricted area.

Seeing menacing, in order not to accidentally get injured, Wagner just watched this guy attack the basket.

Just as Jones was about to dunk, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and cut off his ball.

Everyone on the field stared wide-eyed. Just two seconds ago, Gary Smith suddenly rushed to the basket and accurately shot the basketball in Jones' hands, allowing the latter to dunk the empty basket with his rounded right arm.

After succeeding, Lin Feng rushed forward immediately and scored a layup with no defense.

"Your movements are too obvious, buddy." Returning to the center line, Lin Feng smiled and pointed to Jones.

There was no sound at the scene, and everyone knew what happened. This training game without a coach seemed to be an individual match between Gary Smith and Jones.

Wagner stood in the paint with his mouth wide open, his head in his hands.

Jones didn't speak. This time, he was devastated by one attack and one defense, and he had no temper.

But things didn't end there.

Marco Jones continued to test Lin Feng's bottom line, using a rough defensive posture to prevent breakthroughs.

Lin Feng didn't call the pick-and-roll at all, and signaled his teammates to pull away. He would personally teach this troublemaker a lesson.

After all, Gary Smith does not belong to the Development League, and his skills are enough to easily pass Jones, which makes Lao Pao extremely unhappy.

After being broken once, Jones strode into the three-second zone with a meteor, and made a black hand after Lin Feng took off.

When Lin Feng jumped into the air, he pushed his waist hard, causing him to lose his center of gravity and fly directly to the basketball hoop.

"No, no, Gary, I didn't mean it." Jones looked innocent, and hurried forward to check Lin Feng's situation.

This palm seems to be an understatement, but it is actually fatal, and it can easily cause serious injuries.Just like in the Eastern Conference Finals a few days ago, JR Smith shot Horford behind the basketball hoop.

Lin Feng was furious, got up and punched Jones directly, "Schete, you are looking for death."

Jones went straight up to fight with Lin Feng, and the rest of the team immediately ran over to fight and separated them before they died.

Obviously, the vast majority of people are on Gary Smith's side. Everyone knows what happened just now. If the palm was stronger, Gary might be reimbursed for the season. This is a devastating blow.

Only two D-League players who seemed to have a good relationship with Jones stood on the other side, helping Jones stand up and talking nonsense.

Caruso tried to help Lin Feng. Bald Mamba is a hard-working decent player, and he certainly doesn't want to be with a group of garbage players who will never have a chance to play in the NBA.

Soon, Coach Bichler, who heard the movement, came in.
