NBA peak

Chapter 57 The Lakers' Hesitation

After adjusting his breathing, Ge Feng started shooting.

Ge Feng was a little nervous at the beginning, and the two three-pointers at a 0-degree angle on the left popped up twice in succession, which made Pelinka nervous and sweaty.

Later, Ge Feng gradually entered the state, and the remaining 23 balls hit 18 balls, 5 of which were hollow balls, and finally scored 23 points.

Pelinka's hanging heart was finally relieved.

Fortunately, Ge Feng withstood the pressure. Although he made two fewer goals than the previous round, Ge Feng's three-point ability was definitely considered top-notch among rookies.

Garivetti nodded vigorously, and now his Ge Feng's attitude has completely changed.

In the NBA regular season that ended last year, the Lakers made the most three-pointers by guard D'Angelo Russell.

D'Angelo Russell's three-point shooting percentage is only 35.2%, which is still far behind the league's three-point teams.

Garivetti asked Mark Nunez about Ge Feng's rookie rankings, and Mark Nunez told him that Ge Feng's ranking was at the end of the first round.

Garivetti frowned. In this case, the Lakers would have to work hard to get Ge Feng.

Garivetti nodded, not expressing more meaning to Pelinka.

Pelinka has been paying attention to the words and deeds of the two trainers, and their decisions have a huge impact on Ge Feng's future.

So far, Garivetti and Mark Nunez's attitude towards Ge Feng is still unclear. Pelinka feels that it is time to invite the two trainers to have a meal.

Ge Feng doesn't have that much thought now, he needs to focus on the next passing trial.

Three ball receiving machines were placed in the passing trial training to examine the players' ability to pass the ball through the chest, hit the ground and lob the ball respectively.

Each player has 3 chances to pass the ball, and the ball must hit the target perfectly to be considered a successful pass.

Players must keep dribbling the whole way in the passing route, even the center is no exception.

The small ball league is very particular about the fluency of a player's operation.

Jordan's way of fighting alone in that era, only the last few national treasure teams in the league are still persisting.

It is worth mentioning that the Cavaliers used very traditional individual heroism to defeat the Golden State Warriors, the most powerful small ball system, and won the NBA 2016 championship.

James, who has his own system, is not suitable for the small ball system that is popular in the league, but his strong personal ability, combined with the coquettish Irving who has played five times, makes all seemingly unreasonable systems reasonable.

In response to that sentence, in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies are just clouds.

Marquez was the first to participate in the passing test.

Among them, for the chest pass, Marquis hit the target with two balls. In the round of the ground pass, Marquis used up all three opportunities and failed to hit the target. He was eliminated.

The other three are not much better. Zubac and Damian Jones even failed to pass the pass in front of their chests. Both of them have blue faces now, and they can't wait to leave this ghost place of the Lakers immediately.

Garivetti shook his head, these two were almost out of his consideration.

Diallo passed the ball relatively well, barely passing the ground pass, but Diallo fell on the lob pass.

As an inside player, Diallo wanted to complain: "You said, why should I learn to pass the ball high? Am I not an inside player?"

Naturally, Diallo couldn't guess what the Lakers management was thinking, so he could only step aside resentfully, waiting for the final Ge Feng to play.

After the previous round of testing, Diallo has already regarded Ge Feng as his biggest opponent.

Ge Feng's three-point shooting ability is really outstanding, but we will wait and see how his passing ability is.

Ge Feng calmed down and took the pass from Nuñez.

Nuñez's pass angle is very tricky, and the intensity is also very heavy.

Nuñez seems to be doing it on purpose, he just wants to see how well the player can resolve the ball.

Ge Feng caught the fast-spinning ball with one hand and made a powerful pass, which made Nunez's impression of Ge Feng much better.

On the first round, a chest pass hit the far hole.

Ge Feng dribbled the ball, slowed down, made a precise pass, and hit the target directly.

Pelinka clenched his fists happily, while other opponents on the sidelines looked at Ge Feng with ashen faces.

Do you want to be so accurate, are you sent by God to humiliate us?
Garivetti and Mark Nunez glanced at each other, looking forward to Ge Feng.

but……

The picture that follows is not so good.

In the test of hitting the ground pass, Ge Feng used up all his opportunities and failed to hit the target accurately. Like Marquis, he fell in the test of hitting the ground pass.

In order to rule out accidents, Garivetti asked everyone to have another trial training.

The result this time was similar to last time. The difficulty of accurate passing was obviously more difficult than that of shooting. No player could go any further, and everyone maintained exactly the same results as the previous round.

The two rounds of competition are over, and today's trial training is basically over.

Ge Feng and Diallo were the two most outstanding performers. Mitch Kupchak saw that the training was over, so he also left the Lakers training ground.

The Clippers' trial training is about to begin, and the Lakers began to walk off the court.

Zhou Qi came over and congratulated Ge Feng in a friendly manner.

Zhou Qi has seen Ge Feng's three-point ability, and he is very happy that China can produce such a young player.

In the future, with Ge Feng joining in Chinese basketball, there is still hope to return to the top eight in the world.

Zhou Qi's idea is to return to the top eight in the world, but Ge Feng is not.

What Ge Feng wants is that at the peak of his career, Chinese basketball is the strongest in the world.

Moreover, after he retires, he will also train an excellent successor to take over the banner of Chinese basketball and continue to win the championship.

Of course, these are all things to say later, Ge Feng will not tell others easily.

When Pelinka led Ge Feng out of the training ground, Kupchak's luxury car was parked in front of the Lakers and hadn't left yet.

Pelinka quickly stepped forward to say hello to Kupchak.

Pelinka is Kobe's gold medal agent, and he has a very good relationship with everyone on and off the Lakers.

Kupchak and Pelinka were also there. Kupchak directly expressed his appreciation for Ge Feng: "I like the rookie you brought this year. I will find a way to get him into the Lakers."

Pelinka also conveyed Kobe's meaning to Kupchak. Kupchak was a little surprised: "You were actually introduced to him by Kobe. Let me tell you, how could the famous Pelinka help a rookie for no reason."

Pelinka smiled: "Ge Feng has great potential, and he can endure hardships. I haven't seen him these days, and I found that his three-pointers are accurate again."

Pelinka intends to test Kupchak's tone. He is currently the general manager of the Lakers and has a crucial vote in the Lakers' rookie decision-making.

Kupchak said with a smile: "Dude, don't test me. You also know that the Lakers are now Jim's team. He has a big prejudice against yellow-skinned players. Not long ago, he proposed to kick Yi Jianlian out of the Lakers at the management meeting. It may not be easy for Ge Feng to take over the Lakers."

Kupchak spread his hands and said.
