57. True Leaders False Leaders

"Kyle Kuzma invites you to join the group."

Early in the morning, Lin Feng was woken up by notifications on Twitter.

Kuzma has created a group called "Lakers Championship" and is recruiting people from all over the place.

It looked good. Lin Feng clicked OK and then entered the chat group with more than a dozen people.

He looked at the list. They were all Lakers players. Stephenson had just shared a funny photo of himself playing the pipa. The guy seemed to be in a good mood.

"Welcome our new guy, Gary Smith!"

Kuzma is very busy as the group leader and greeter.

Lin Feng made a smiling expression. As a younger brother, he wanted to keep a low profile and wait and see what the big guys said first.

James and Rondo are the big brothers of this Lakers team, and they are very prestigious in the league.

James posted a beautiful photo of him training in the gym, along with Cavaliers youngster Cedi Osman.

Lin Feng was a little envious of the boy named Osman, who was Cavaliers James' official "chest bumper" and often trained with the big guys during the offseason.

One day I can train with my big brothers, that would be such an awesome thing.

"Hi bro."

Hart greeted Lin Feng inside, he was still in Las Vegas.

After the summer season, the team takes a local vacation. You can choose to fly back to Los Angeles with the team or you can continue to stay there and enjoy the vacation.

Hart plans to relax before the team officially starts training, go to an island for vacation with his girlfriend, etc.

Rajon Rondo, this is one of Lin Feng's favorite players. He served as the starting point guard next to the Big Three back then, and he was an absolute big-game player.

What's interesting is that in this newly formed team, several teammates have had major or minor disputes with each other.

For example, when the Celtics competed with the Heat for hegemony, Rondo once took a photo with a female fan wearing clothes that insulted James.

Another example is something that everyone in the league knows. Lance Stephenson is known as the number one "LeBron James". The two often contribute interesting scenes in the matchups and are now teammates fighting side by side.

Lin Feng really wanted to see his junior brother and Lao Zhan meet for the first time. He followed the old Chinese saying, "If you don't fight, you won't get to know each other?"

Today Lin Feng still has to go to the hospital for routine examinations. The swelling in his ankle has subsided and he can walk slowly on his right leg.

He believes that the current atmosphere within the Lakers team is harmonious, although those potential problems have not yet surfaced.

For example, communication issues between veterans and young coaches, team space issues, starting and rotation issues, etc.

After chatting with his teammates for a while, Lin Feng planned to go to the hospital for a review. He had to postpone the car purchase for a few days and temporarily use Qiqi's second-hand Volvo.

Going to the hospital for a follow-up examination also has the advantage of enjoying the meticulous care of the beautiful nurses. Unfortunately, the doctor in charge of Lin Feng was a male doctor. His big hairy hands pinched Lin Feng's legs, making Lin Feng very uncomfortable.

"How do you feel? Mr. Smith."

After pinching for a while, the doctor nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Feng broke out in a sweat. He always felt that this guy had bad intentions, but considering that he was a famous surgeon in Los Angeles, there shouldn't be any problem.

"I feel like I can resume training and everything is fine."

It has only been a week, and Lin Feng's calves no longer feel strange. I wonder if it is because of the soul piercing that the body heals faster.

It sounds very unscientific. For safety reasons, the doctor asked him to continue recovering for half a month before he can touch basketball.

This thing is going to stifle him to death. He can't touch basketball? It's even more crazy than not being able to touch women.

"Okay, okay, I'll try to be a quiet, good boy, watch TV and listen to music every day, and live the life of an elderly person."

Lin Feng said helplessly.

The doctor seems to understand basketball players' love for basketball very well. He has come into contact with many basketball stars, and those people have the same agitation and absolute love for basketball as Lin Feng.

After a while, Perkins came to the hospital. The two were originally going to be together, but he was delayed for an hour to deal with Caruso's contract issue.

"How's it going? I mean Caruso's contract." Lin Feng was more concerned about his teammates.

Perkins nodded, "It's a two-way contract worth 70,000 US dollars a year. The new season is the last year. I hope Caruso can get a good guaranteed contract next year."

The doctor next to him listened to the conversation between the two with a smile and interjected: "Seventy thousand annual salary? It is higher than most ordinary people. You can buy a nice car."

After coming out of the hospital, Lin Feng wanted to shoot baskets at the community court, but Perkins sternly refused.

Because shooting requires the use of leg strength, Perkins was worried that Lin Feng would pull some important parts before he fully recovered, causing secondary injuries.

"It's okay, buddy. It's just a muscle strain. There's no need to be so nervous."

Lin Feng was a little helpless. He had been away from the court these days and felt that the bones in his body were itching like crazy. He could only relieve it by standing on the basketball court.

Basketball is more effective than painkillers.

At Lin Feng's repeated insistence, Perkins had no choice but to drive the car into a nearby baseball field.

"Listen, don't do anything that will hurt yourself." Perkins looked very nervous. He didn't want anything to go wrong again.

Standing on the basketball court again, Lin Feng felt relaxed and happy, and even his breathing became much smoother.

"Don't worry Qiqi. I'm still thinking about getting a big contract next year, one worth tens of millions of dollars. How could I overturn at this juncture?"

Lin Feng tried to shoot. Because he had to take care of his calves, he had to change his shooting posture slightly to try not to tighten his calf muscles.

Perkins serves as a caddy. It's not too hot in Los Angeles in July, but the temperature is gradually rising. It is estimated that the month will reach its peak, and playing golf outside will cause heatstroke.

"That's a good shot. I didn't expect your three-point shooting to improve so quickly."

Perkins' fat body was already sweating, but Lin Feng just fixed his shots at a few points.

Lin Feng joked, "I am the king of Los Angeles. In the future, the Staples Center will have a retired No. 11 jersey, and my portrait will also appear on the street opposite."

"Okay, okay, I've heard enough of your rhetoric. Just don't be benched during the regular season. The team has four point guards, and even Caruso is very capable.

, you want to compete with Rajon Rondo for the second team? He is a man with a championship ring."

Perkins can always see far. He believes that the team should not introduce Rondo because the team's backcourt configuration is already too bloated.

Lin Feng disagrees. Competing with your favorite star is a kind of recognition. It shows that you have the ability to compete with him.

Moreover, Lin Feng believes that he can appear at the second position and act as the firepower output of the substitute lineup.

"Go have a drink, maybe you can meet something."
