7. A quiz

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Feng arrived at the training hall half an hour in advance.

This is a small stadium inside the Staples Center. Today, everyone is reporting on the Summer League members, and everyone seems very relaxed.

The most famous one is Josh Hart, who is the only player to appear in the NBA official game.

Although half an hour earlier, Lin Feng was still the last few. It seems that everyone is in high spirits and wants to perform hard.

No wonder, most of them are rookies with low salaries or players who spend the rest of their lives in the Development League. The summer league is their only chance. If they play well, they may have the opportunity to enter the Lakers' rotation list and stage a VanVleet-style inspirational story.

After completing the registration, Lam Feng entered the stadium, and his teammates who were already training greeted him. Lam Feng responded with a smile.

He inherited everything about Gary Smith, so it was not a problem in language at all.

The stadium is not big, there is only one field, and various training equipment is piled up around it.

The head coach of the summer league is Bichler, and it is said that coach Walton will appear on the field as a spectator.

Bichler is a kind middle-aged uncle. After seeing Lam Feng, he waved to him to come over.

"Gary Smith." Lin Feng reported himself that he was already used to this name.

Bichler nodded, put his hands on his chest, "I've seen your college performance, and now I forget the past. Remember that you are a rookie, everything is a new beginning."

On the other side of the court, rookie Mikhailuk made five consecutive three-pointers, and the shooting coach was satisfied with his performance.

The Lakers lack three-point shooters, and Miha's joining can make up for this to a certain extent.

Lin Feng felt regretful because Miha had not had a good experience with the Lakers in his memory, and was traded to Detroit in the middle of the new season.

The sun is scorching outside, and the temperature in the venue is still very comfortable.

Coach Bichler led them all to do pre-match sports. Today's main content is group confrontation, so that the players can understand each other while also seeing their abilities initially.

As the final round pick, Lin Feng, Mikhailuk, Bald Mamba, Wagner and Jonathan Williams, the biggest brand Hart led four South Bay players.

Hart is undoubtedly the absolute summer league starter.

The five players in Lin Feng’s group will basically be Xia Lian’s key players to observe.

It looks good. As long as you can show your strength in the training match, you will likely play in Xia Lian as the starting player.

"Okay, young man, you will be the Los Angeles Lakers in eight days. Forget all your identities before and go to Sacramento."

"You represent one of the greatest basketball teams. Remember the eleven jerseys floating above Staples Center? Come on, young people!"

Bichler mobilized before the game to encourage the players to exert their power.

Lin Feng plays as point guard, which is also the position where Gary Smith has been playing. The one who partnered with him in the backcourt is Bald Mamba Caruso, who is a tough guy.

After the Lakers missed the playoffs in the last world, Caruso served as the starting point guard with the ball being injured, and once scored a high level of scoring in double digits, and even scored 32 points in the game against the Clippers.

Caruso can be said to be Lin Feng's first competitor in his health career.

Miha was pushed into a small forward, and Jonathan and Wagner partnered with the inside. This lineup is full of vitality, with an average age of only 22 years old. He can run and jump, but he lacks some experience.

The biggest brand, Hart, was the No. 30 rookie in the first round last year. He achieved his net worth in the first year, with great explosive power but lacking stability.

The group confrontation began, and Lin Feng had not even had time to get to know the players on both sides.

Wagner was an emotional guy. After driving the ball to Lin Feng, he dribbled the ball slowly and passed the half.

The one who matches the position is Hart. It seems that he plans to teach the rookies a good lesson. His defensive posture is very serious and his upper body is pressed down very low so that he will not lose his position if he loses his position.

"Gary, Syracuse star guard, I've seen your profile."

Hart said as he moved.

Lin Feng did not reply and patiently controlled the ball and looked for opportunities. After seven or eight seconds of trotting, he felt a huge energy surge upward in his body, and he seemed to have endless physical energy.

Calling for pick-and-roll, center Wagner stepped forward to block Hart, Lin Feng took the opportunity to shake off Hart, and the one who changed to defense was a big tall man. This guy looked nervous and was a complete rookie. Lin Feng used his weak point of moving slowly to speed up and throw it away.

Hart, who was firmly blocked by Wagner, could only watch Gary Smith complete a layup.

"Well done." Lin Feng clapped Wagner skillfully.

It started a good game, but he understood that basketball is a team sport rather than a personal show, and the next offense requires him to connect the team to organize the offense.

The accelerated layup just now made Lin Feng feel pretty good. He can fully control Gary Smith's body. This guy has good talent and physical fitness. Some difficult movements are easy to complete.

Bichler, on the sidelines, held his chin with his hands and occasionally wrote a few lines of letters on the record book.

"Come on, guys."

Joshhart is a natural conductor. He dribbles the ball and directs his teammates to run, looking calm.

Lin Feng, who is ready to defend, has already entered the "foresee three seconds" mode, which is the first regular experiment of his special abilities.

Feedback images kept appearing in his mind. As time went by, after the last three seconds became a reality, it was soon connected to another three seconds, forming a continuous complete picture, but there was no sound, just like a pantomime.

Soon, sweat beads oozed out of Lin Feng's forehead, which was the result of "foreseeing for three seconds" just now.

Sure enough, it is not easy to predict their next move in advance by a group of professional players in three seconds.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even summer league players are professionally trained and only need a little space to form a shot.

Josh Hart taught a lesson to Lin Feng, who was full of confidence. He was slowing down half a beat when he tried to steal, but he judged the right direction but was passed by Hart.

Lin Feng's loss forced Wagner to let go of his defensive player to fill the spot, and the result was that Hart assisted their center and dunked.

"Hey brother, you just had a gambling defense, which is not a good idea." Hart advised him while returning to defense. Hart had one year of NBA experience, enough to be their mentor.

Lin Feng didn't say anything, responded with a smile, standing near the edge to prepare to catch the ball.

He was reflecting on the scene just now. Three seconds could indeed make him predict the opponent's pass or breakthrough route, but the basketball flies extremely fast and is difficult to intercept, unless it is a long pass.

To increase the success rate of steals, Lin Feng now needs to train his speed and explosive power. He believes that with Gary Smith's talent, he can do it completely.

"Gary! Be good at defense!" the coach shouted at him.
