Chapter 16 16. Overcoming God
The afternoon sun was warm, shining on the basketball court in the community.

There will be a group of lads playing here in the evening, but it's empty now.

No, there seemed to be the sound of a ball being slapped on the other side of the court, and a chunky figure stood outside the three-point line.

The man glanced at the basket, then shot a three-pointer and went into the basket.

"pretty."

Lin Feng trotted over, the shooter was actually Perkins?
"KK, I didn't expect you to be Stephen Curry in disguise." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Perkins helped the mirror frame, and said with a silly smile: "Gary, don't laugh at me anymore, I won't be able to run soon."

Today, Perkins changed his usual image of a business man in a suit and put on an Allen Iverson No. 76 jersey for the 3ers.

"Are you an Iverson fan?" Lin Feng asked.

Putting on a loose basketball uniform, Perkins' fat body had nowhere to hide, and it swayed as he walked, looking very awkward.

Perkins's eyes were bright, "When I was a teenager, the 183 cm short player on TV attracted me. This is an encouragement for people like me. The way the land is played is just so cool.”

"Scoring champion, steals champion, MVP, etc., Iverson is the man who has surpassed God."

As he said that, Perkins tried to dribble the ball under his crotch, but his pillar-like legs did not allow it, and the ball bounced to Lin Feng's feet.

"It sucks, honestly I hate who I am now, man. Can you imagine this fat guy standing in front of you who used to be a star player in junior high?"

Lin Feng felt that his manager was a little emotional today, so he might as well sit down and listen to his story.

Everyone has a glorious past, even for a ten-thousandth of a second.

Kiki Perkins in junior high school had excellent ball skills and was a star player in school. He was very hopeful to enter Oak Hill High School, a famous basketball high school, which was the No. 1 high school basketball in the United States.

Durant, Anthony, Rajon Rondo, Jennings, Jackson, Beasley, etc. are all from Oak Hill.

Perkins used to be only one step away from this high school, but unfortunately in a game in the final stage of junior high school, he missed the lore goal, to be precise, the opponent directly blocked the ball out of the field.

Perkins, who has always been high-spirited, was hit hard, indulged in the shadows and couldn't extricate himself. He took drugs during the holidays, and finally disappeared from the public and became a passerby in the basketball world.

"It's hard to imagine me being a star player in junior high, right? But now I'm old."

With tears in his eyes, Perkins kept rubbing his hands together.

Lin Feng is not good at comforting people. He patted Lao Pa on the shoulder, "Being old doesn't mean you don't play basketball. You're really old if you don't play."

He got up to pick up the basketball, and shouted at Old Pa, "Stand up Qiqi, before we grow old."

Lin Feng threw the ball to the backboard, then jumped up high and dunked himself.

Old Pa smirked and got up and walked over. In a sense, the current Gary Smith is his emotional sustenance in basketball, because this last-round pick is very similar to himself 15 years ago.

He took a detour, but he came back around.

Lin Feng originally planned to invite him to be his partner to strengthen his three-second prediction before going to Sacramento.

After a week of training, he has been able to freely control the switch between consciousness and reality.

After the three-second prediction mode is turned on, the consciousness in the brain is synchronized with the reality, and quickly thinks about what to do in the next second. This requires a high degree of unity between the brain and the body, and requires [-]% concentration.

"Looks like you've got me, Gary."

Perkins looks funny standing under the basket, and his round body doesn't match Iverson's jersey no matter how you look at it.

He opened his arms and looked like a defensive champion. After all, he has a basketball background, which is a bit interesting to be serious.

"Instead of you attacking, I will defend."

Lin Feng had to practice stealing, facing the 30-year-old fat man, even if he scored [-] points, it was meaningless.

Unexpectedly, Lao Pa's footsteps were quite flexible, and he was able to use fake moves to test his center of gravity.

Lin Feng began to believe that the sad story of Lao Pa's nose and tears just now was true. This guy is really a star in junior high school, and he almost became Carmelo Anthony's high school alumni.

It's just that in front of Lin Feng, who has the magical talent of three seconds, his dribbling looks like slow motion, probably only faster than O'Neal's grandma.

The moment Perkins was about to "accelerate" to attack the basket, Lin Feng, who predicted the route in advance, accurately cut the basketball.

"God?" Perkins said suddenly.

"I cut off Allen Iverson's layup, the man who swayed God." Lin Feng was a little proud.

In fact, as an agent, Perkins didn't watch him play much. He just thought he was a plastic material from a bunch of player materials.

Lin Feng threw the basketball to him, indicating to continue to break through.It is difficult to find amateur players like KK during team training. They are all professional players or quasi-professional players. It is very difficult to cut their balls.

Now with Kiki Perkins, his cadence is just right for sparring.

Lao Pa tried to break through for the second time, but was cut off by Lin Feng again. He began to doubt his basketball talent!
"What the hell, just now I thought it was Oladipo standing in front of me."

Perkins pushed the frame of the glasses, a little suspicious of life.

The third attempt was still intercepted.Old Pa didn't even have a chance to get close to the basket. He could only hug the basketball and arch forward to ensure that he would not be cut away by Lin Feng.

"Oladipo? Damn."

Perkins held the basketball in both hands, looking helpless.

Oladipo was the steals leader in 2018, completing a total of 181 steals this season, averaging 2.4 times per game.

Lin Feng enjoyed it, he has already started to master this skill, he just needs to wait patiently for his debut, and he will surprise everyone when the time comes.

After practicing with Lao Pa for nearly an hour, the fat man was already covered in sweat, and if he continued, he might faint on the court.

The two drove to a drink shop in the west of the city. Lin Feng can't drink alcohol now, besides driving, it's also because it's a sensitive period.

He will be undergoing a medical examination in Sacramento tomorrow morning, and he doesn't want some of his indicators to be abnormal.

"It's rare that a dedicated agent like me would actually run to the court as a training partner."

Old Pa sitting in the store was sweating all over, and those who didn't know thought he was cooked.

"Haha, that's true. I'm afraid Rich Paul won't be so crazy with James."

Lin Feng drank grape juice, which was his favorite flavor.

Talking about Rich Paul, the old Pa became interested, this is his colleague and idol.

James is building his own business empire in the final stage of his career, and his friend Rich Paul is certainly inseparable from it.

"About a few hours ago, James announced that he became a free agent, which means that he will not continue to stay in Cleveland, and his next home is likely to be Philadelphia or Houston."

Perkins began to analyze Lao Zhan's next move with his professional eyes.

In his view, Houston has a good friend Chris Paul, while Philadelphia is the world of "successor" Simmons.Perkins would never have imagined that No. 1 in the league would parachute to Los Angeles.

After listening to his analysis, Lin Feng shook his hands, "No, no, I think LeBron will join our team."

Perkins looked at him incredulously, "Assist you?"

"Hahahaha, you are so funny. Los Angeles is a big city, and there are unlimited potential business opportunities and exposure here. As the No.1 in the league, I will not ignore these."

Lin Feng said solemnly.

"Make a bet, I think he will go to Houston and form the Big Three with Chris Paul and the Beard. They will be the only super team that can shake the Warriors dynasty next season."

Perkins meant it, the two-man bet was a crazy night in Vegas.

Because after playing the "California Classic" in Sacramento, the Lakers will fly to Las Vegas to continue participating in the summer league there.
