Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 40 Training match, start!
Two weeks before the official start of the season, the players were recalled to the team to participate in the 76ers' training camp, running in the players' tacit understanding and training tactics.

At the technical level, coaches can no longer teach athletes of this level.The team has a dedicated trainer who will fine-tune them in terms of technique and physical fitness.

What Cheeks has to do is to give them his new coaching philosophy and let them adapt to his own style.

Lian Feng temporarily bought an apartment near the training hall.In his view, buying a mansion in Philadelphia doesn't make much sense.To fly around with the team to participate in the game, there is not much time to stay in Philadelphia. On rest days and team training days, he prefers to stay in the training hall.

Of course, the more important reason is lack of money.

On the way to the team training hall on the first day, Lian Feng was still very excited.

Allen Iverson.

What kind of person is he?Is it the same as that written in the magazine?
There are not many short superheroes in the history of the NBA. Chris Paul and Stephen Curry, some of them are super brains, some are super shooters, but in any case, they all follow the iron rule of the first position and short players-rely on pick-and-rolls, try to find misplacements, and attack at the top of the arc like a regular number one when holding the ball.

Only Iverson, as a player who is shorter than them, in his prime, he catches the ball on both wings and plays like a swingman.

He is different from Jordan, who has been elitistized. It is not so much that Jordan is a black man as he is a white man with black skin.

And Iverson, from the beginning to the end, he has been deeply imprinted with the imprint of the black people at the bottom, and he has pushed the pure black culture to the hall of the NBA.

And only he, as a commodity, dared to raise his middle finger to the shelf, and then said arrogantly: "Let us have a fight with this fucking (cross out, change: beautiful) world!"

It's a pity that Lian Feng was still a teenager when he watched AI play in the previous life.In Kobe's words, "I don't even know how strong the pinnacle's AI is."

Now, here's your chance!
Lian Feng couldn't contain his excitement when he was about to meet the legendary star.

Pushing open the door of the training hall, his eyes began to scan like radar, and then he was quickly disappointed...

AI... is not there!
After a brief absence, Cheeks had spotted him.

Today is the first day of player reporting. Except for Cheeks and a few assistant coaches, there is no player in the stadium. He was the first to arrive.

Cheeks glanced at his watch and said to Lian Feng, "The appointed time is 9 o'clock, and you are an hour ahead."

Lian Feng laughed: "Do I have to pay the fine in advance?"

Cheeks laughed too, and it was a good thing the guy from Asia wasn't as dull as he thought.

"When the players are all here, start today's training. Before that, you can do some simple warm-ups."

Lian Feng nodded, and under the leadership of an assistant coach, he took his bag and went to the locker room to change.

Lian Feng didn't say a word.

The assistant coach laughed: "Man, relax. I know that the first day just started, it will be a little nervous. But believe me, our team's locker room atmosphere is very good...I mean, compared with many teams, our atmosphere is very relaxed, because Allen is a leader who knows how to adjust the atmosphere."

Lian Feng nodded.

After changing his clothes, when Lian Feng returned to the court, the other players hadn't come yet.

Cheeks looked a little surprised when he saw him.

"It seems that you have listened to our advice."

Cheeks noticed that Lian Feng's arms were significantly thicker, and his shoulders were also much wider.Granted, it didn't significantly improve his lanky frame, but it didn't give the impression of being knocked down.

Lian Feng nodded: "This summer, I gained nearly 10 kilograms of weight for myself."

"Hopefully it hasn't sacrificed your agility and speed," Cheeks said.

"Coach as you wish."

Afterwards, Lian Feng started warming up alone.

After jogging for a few laps, Lian Feng began to practice shooting with the help of the assistant coach.

Catch the ball, shoot it.

Catch the ball, shoot it.

Run, catch, shoot.

Cheeks watched silently from the sidelines, making it regrettable that Lian Feng's shooting was not stable, and his shooting speed was not fast enough... Maybe it was enough compared to his former opponents, but this is the NBA, he will not get more mid-range shots, and the defenders he faces put more pressure on him. His shots are too slow and he is easily disturbed.

The release point is not high enough.

Lian Feng shot for more than 20 minutes, and he began to feel hot.This shows that a summer of physical training is effective. At this time, he feels that he has just entered the state, and he does not have the feeling of physical exhaustion before.

The first to arrive at the training facility was the team's starting center, Samuel Dalembert.

Samuel Dalembert was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He experienced a difficult childhood. His parents left him early and went to France. He also grew up with his grandmother. He did not receive systematic basketball training until he was 14 years old when he joined his parents who had gone to Canada.

Generally speaking, people only come into contact with basketball at this age, and they can still start a team, which shows that they are very talented.

Samuel Dalembert's talent is visible to the naked eye. His height and wingspan are above the average of the league's center forwards, and his Achilles tendon is very long. He seems to have good movement and running and jumping abilities.

Lian Feng took the initiative to say hello, "Hi, I'm new here."

Samuel Dalembert nodded expressionlessly.

Cheeks shook his head. "Never mind, that's what he is."

Lian Feng didn't feel anything, but Cheeks took care of his emotions so much, which made him feel very good.

As the time approached 9 o'clock, the players came one after another.

But Lian Feng looked left and right, but he didn't see AI.

Cheeks couldn't help frowning, and asked the teaching assistant next to him, "Is everyone here?"

"Yes sir. Allen is in rehab these days."

Cheeks looked at his watch, clapped his hands and called everyone to come over: "Okay, if anyone else hasn't arrived, we won't wait. Hurry up and start today's training!"

Webber said: "What's the content of today's training?"

Cheeks said: "This is a good question. Since you have been resting for a long time, I think those damn parties, alcohol, and women have almost corroded you! Today, I want to confirm how much strength you have left. So, after warming up, divide into two teams and play a training match for me to see."

Everyone has no opinion.

Lian Feng was a newcomer, and Cheeks didn't introduce him to the team members, so he stood there awkwardly for a while, at a loss what to do.

At this time, a person patted him on the shoulder.

Lian Feng turned around and saw a black face.

Big Brother.

At this time, the first brother was still a rookie in the second grade, and his face was still a little green.

"Dude, you're the guy that jumps high?"

"Yes."

In the United States, when others praise you, you can't use Huaguo's humble and polite way of responding.

The first brother said: "It's the first time we meet, is your name Lian Feng? Come on, I believe we will have a pleasant journey!"

"of course."

After a few simple greetings, Lian Feng became acquainted with Brother Yi.

At this time, the teaching assistant announced the group list.

"First team, Webber, Iguodala, Korver..."

"Second Team, Samuel Dalembert... Striker!"

Hearing Lianfeng's name, Samuel Dalembert frowned and couldn't help complaining: "Coach, this is not fair! We don't have a single defender here!"

Cheeks gave Samuel Dalembert a nonchalant look: "Fronts play point guard."

"he?"

Not only Samuel Dalembert, many players cried out.

"A guy over two meters?"

Cheeks ignored it and just asked Lian Feng: "Is there any problem?"

Lian Feng shrugged helplessly: "I'm fine."
