NBA: Started as Sakuragi Hanamichi

Chapter 20 Joining the Zijin Army, a Dream Come True
"Oh! My God! I suspect I'm dreaming."

After a while, Lin Feng woke up from the shock.

He couldn't imagine that Kobe would come to the arena to find him one day.

"Boss Kobe, don't tell me that you came to the locker room tonight just to find me?"

Lin Feng asked the answer he wanted to know the most. If Kobe showed up at the official Lakers training facility, he would be looking for him.

Then he can be sure that his efforts these days have been rewarded, and Kobe paid attention to him and recognized his performance on the court.

Kobe nodded slightly, there was no extra nonsense, and his character is not a man who likes to talk nonsense.

"Yes, Lin, I came here at home this time to discuss something with you."

Kobe smiled lightly and said: "During this time, apart from strengthening training during the offseason, I just paid attention to the progress of other teams' games. What annoyed me was that O'Neal won his fourth championship ring after traveling east to Miami."

"Shit, you should know what I mean!"

Kobe had complicated emotions on his face. In 2006, Kobe had always had indescribable complex emotions about Oban and Flash Wade winning the fourth championship ring.

It caused a great uproar in the outside world, as well as in the NBA league.

Many media and fans murmured that Oban won the championship trophy without Kobe.

And Kobe is nothing without O'Pang, and can only wander around in the first round of the playoffs, failing to make it to the Western Conference semifinals.

These voices of doubt frequently came from the outside world, which angered Kobe, who was extremely competitive.

Comey, who is familiar with Kobe's personality, knows that Kobe likes to be questioned the most.

The more people questioned him, the more he forged ahead, trained harder, and waited for the opportunity to rise strongly.

Now, Kobe sees the hope of the rise of the Lakers. He believes that Lin Feng's skills and recent performance can help him on the court.

"Lin! Come out, I'll talk to you about something very important."

Kobe patted Lin Feng on the shoulder again, motioning for Lin Feng to come out and talk.

Lin Feng was in a dazed state, and subconsciously followed Kobe to the outside of the locker room.

Coach Ryan watched the two leave with a smile on his lips. With his excellent IQ, he had guessed something.

The other teammates were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help shouting: "Oh my God! Kobe came to find Lin himself, I don't know why?"

Ryan glanced at everyone, and smiled lightly: "Please cherish the time with Lin Feng, next season, I guarantee you will not be able to be teammates with Lin Feng."

"Coach Ryan, what do you mean?"

Harris questioned suspiciously, now he admires Lin Feng the most, followed by Malcolm.

"Kobe has come here to look for Lin Feng in person, what else do you mean?"

Ryan's eyes shone with wisdom, "If I'm not mistaken, next season, Kobe will invite Lin Feng to join the Los Angeles Lakers!"

"What?" All the teammates exclaimed repeatedly. Kobe visited the arena tonight to win Lin Feng to the Los Angeles Lakers?

Is Lin going to make it out of the NBDL Development League and enter the NBA?

This is really a daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law for many years!

"Lin is going to take off! He is really going to take off! Kobe even came to invite him in person, incredible!"

The teammates are called envy.

Outside the locker room, Kobe led Lin Feng to a remote corner, and said bluntly: "Lin! I admire your positive attitude towards the game on the court, and even more appreciate you as a defender, frequently grabbing offensive rebounds, and also appreciate your defense very much. Come and fight with me in the Lakers next season!"

"You're going to put on the purple and gold and play for the Lakers, tell me, will you?"

Lin Feng: "..."

He was speechless directly. This speechlessness was not because he didn't want to, but because he was too excited.

As a diehard Lakers since childhood, he loves the Lakers team so much.

It has been his lifelong dream to one day wear the Zijin jersey and play for the Lakers.

And the dream from childhood to adulthood will be realized next season, one can imagine Lin Feng's excitement.

If it wasn't for impressing the boss Kobe with a sense of stability, Lin Feng would have jumped up excitedly and yelled twice.

He swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and was so excited that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Kobe frowned and asked, "What? You don't want to?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that boss, what I mean is, next season, I...can I really wear the purple and gold jersey and play for the Lakers?"

"Of course, as long as you are willing, I will help you settle the matter of the contract."

Kobe said confidently.

He has the ability to introduce Lin Feng, and the old Bass will still give him this face.

"Okay! I do!"

Lin Feng repeatedly agreed.

Kobe smiled gracefully, "Wait for my call tomorrow and give me your number."

Lin Feng hurriedly gave Kobe the number, and the two exchanged calls.

After finishing, Kobe added: "However, as a player in the Development League, it is the first time you sign with the Lakers. Don't expect to have a high annual salary. I can only try my best to help you get a high-quality contract. For a big contract with an annual salary of tens of millions, you need to work hard and fight for it yourself."

"Yeah, this is the boss I know."

Lin Feng nodded quickly.

Joining the Lakers for the first time, the management cannot give Lin Feng too much contract.

After all, in the NBA, no one knows Lin Feng now, and it is not a superstar transfer. The Lakers management will be very cautious when investing in new players.

If you want to get a big contract with an annual salary of tens of millions, you have to work hard and perform well in order to get a high-quality contract.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. You wait for my call tomorrow, and I'll take you to see the Lakers' management."

"Okay." Lin Feng agreed, and said sincerely: "Thank you, boss!"

"You don't need to thank me. I just feel that with your level of basketball competition, you shouldn't stay in the subordinate leagues. The NBA is your stage."

After saying this, Kobe turned around and left, leaving Lin Feng with a domineering back.

"yeah!"

It wasn't until he couldn't see Kobe's figure that Lin Feng jumped up all of a sudden, reveling endlessly.

Dreams come true, really dreams come true!
One day, Lin Feng can also join the Los Angeles Lakers and become a member of the Zijin Army.

"Hahaha!" Lin Feng looked up to the sky and laughed.

But at this moment, a long-lost notification sound came from the system.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations to the host for joining his favorite team, the Los Angeles Lakers. His teammate is Black Mamba Kobe, and he will give the host a souvenir and a lucky bracelet. 】

Hearing the system prompt, Lin Feng hurriedly opened the package, and sure enough, he saw a purple-gold bracelet lying quietly in the package.

On the back of the bracelet, the words China-Lin are engraved.

As for the front, it is the number '10'. After reading it, Lin Feng can tell at a glance that this is the jersey number of Hanamichi Sakuragi.

In the NBA, Lin Feng will still wear the No. 10 jersey for the Lakers, and pass on the spirit of Hanamichi Sakuragi!
