Back home, Lin Feng kept thinking about Chloe's words.

Maybe I really should be bolder and not be held back by that damn success rate.

During the team training the next day, Lin Feng planned to put it into action.

Still facing off against Pop, this guy is covered in tattoos and looks ruffian, but is actually a very quiet guy.

"Gary, you look different today."

This was the first formal conversation between Pope and him. Before, they were all about court "terminology" such as good shots and beautiful passes.

"Yes, maybe it's because I slept well last night."

Yesterday, Lin Feng stayed in the gym since lunch. He started to get serious, exercising for two hours and then going to the training hall.

After shooting a thousand times and strengthening breakthroughs, sweat soaked into the training clothes. In the end, I couldn't wash them out and had to throw them away.

Everyone looks good today and is slowly starting to get into the shape of the new season.

Lao Zhan is jogging on the sidelines to warm up. He has a big task today. Coach Walton will do targeted running training around him.

Of course, without Lin Feng, that is the task of the main lineup. What he will have to do at that time is to take turns playing the offensive end point of the substitute lineup with Josh Hart.

The team's offensive and defensive game started first, with Lin Feng and Hart partnering in the backcourt as a substitute. Also on the same team were Stephenson, Kuzma and Zubac.

Because Ball was injured, Rondo entered the starting lineup and teamed up with James to direct.

According to common sense, the substitute will be completely destroyed and become a sparring partner.

This is exactly what happened. After constantly running around, Rondo assisted McGee to complete a dunk at the basket.

Zubac is taller than McGee and has more athletic ability, but he lacks experience and is easily pulled away by veterans like Rondo.

Kuzma also lacked firepower on the defensive end, and soon Lin Feng fell behind by more than ten points.

The main lineup has been practicing inside offensive routines, relying on McGee and James to attack the basket.

Because Pop, who was mainly guarded by Lin Feng, did not have many opportunities, the two of them spent more time running back and forth on the court.

After a few rounds, McGee's physical strength was exhausted quickly, and under Walton's instruction, the team began to score points.

The focus shifts to Ingram.

The experience of later generations proves that Walton adopts the principle of equality for the Lakers rookies, and no matter how the four young players perform, they will all have the same playing time.

This meant that in several controversial games, Kuzma performed well and was very close to James on the court. But when the time came, Walton forced Ingram, who was frequently playing iron, to return to the court to find his condition.

At the Staples training ground, seeing that the substitute lineup was unable to catch up, it almost became a one-sided game. The young player Zubac was even a little dejected.

What would Walton do? Stop the game and make substitutions?

That is obviously a blow to the substitute's self-confidence. Anyone who can stand on the NBA stage thinks that he is the pride of heaven.

Stephenson signaled his teammates to start a singles, and he used a pick-and-roll to bring Ingram, but the result was not satisfactory.

Even if Ingram, who has poor lateral movement, can't stop Finson's breakthrough, there are also McGee and LeBron James under the basket to cover up, and the opportunity to attack the basket is very bad.

To be honest, this Lakers team has inherent disadvantages, and their substitute lineup is infinitely magnified.

This was the case in the previous life. Whenever the main players took a break, the Lakers' offense became extremely weak, and their opponents often seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The Lakers will force a 50-50 draw against anyone they face. A big reason is that the offensive power of the bench lineup is too weak.

Stephenson can score points by relying on his personal offense, but it is a problem that he cannot open up other points.

Wharton can only act in a hurry, as he cannot solve this hard problem with his ability.

The last hope rests on Gary Smith. This is the last hope after Finson and Hart took turns playing singles with little effect.

Do what you are supposed to do and then leave it to God.

This was the advice Chloe gave him that night a few nights ago, and he chose to adopt it.

Lin Feng found that he was too cautious before, and the result was quite satisfactory. Although there were highlights, it would not leave a deep impression on the audience.

Chloe is an unconventional girl who never considers how others view her.

The basketball was handed over to Lin Feng. Fensen looked at his fellow countryman meaningfully and then ran towards the frontcourt.

Then there's Hart. He doesn't have the ease of being a court general in the summer games. He's just a second-year rookie here.

Finally, there is the 216-centimeter big boy Zubac. He is a well-behaved child who does things in a orderly manner.

Suddenly, Lin Feng was the only one left in the backcourt holding a basketball.

He knew it was time to show what he could do.

Lin Feng dribbled the ball leisurely across the half court, and Pop came to defend him. The two were always half a meter apart.

Pope is an excellent 3D player with three-point shooting range and certain defense.

Faced with Lin Feng, who is eight centimeters shorter than himself, Pope is confident that he can prevent this ball.

James followed Kuzma, which frustrated the latter. The first man in the league to defend closely? Even a thirty-year-old man whose movement speed has decreased is difficult to deal with.

Lin Feng signaled everyone to pull away from the top of the three-point arc, especially pulling McGee to the bottom corner as far away from the basket as possible.

McGee is a master of ball interference, often letting people break through and then slap the ball into the audience.

After standing up, Lin Feng began his performance.

He lowered his center of gravity, dribbling the ball with his left and right hands continuously under his hips, and stared at Pope's body.

He wants to shake Popper's center of gravity. If the opponent dares to rush forward to steal, he will decisively start in the opposite direction.

Walton's eyes are all on Lin Feng, who is the last hope for the bench lineup.

In an instant, Lin Feng noticed that Pop's body moved slightly to the left, probably a few millimeters away, but it was so clear to Lin Feng's eyes.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Feng took the ball and rushed to the right side. At the same time, he used his body to protect the ball to prevent this guy from taking risks.

Popper, who lost his position, quickly chased after him. Just when the two bodies were half a body apart, Lin Feng suddenly leaned on Popper and made a gyroscopic spin around his body.

Before Pop had time to react, Lin Feng had already reached his left and stepped into a gap. In front of him was the empty basket and McGee with a ferocious face under the basket.

Seeing that Pope was knocked to the ground due to his center of gravity, McGee strode out to cover the defense. Zubac was empty under the basket and had already opened his hands to gain position.

As early as when he broke through just now, Lin Feng saw the ending three seconds later.

If he passes the ball to Zubac at the basket, he will be caught by James, who is already eagerly preparing to attack the passing route.

Lin Feng wanted to personally put an end to this breakthrough.

After jumping high and throwing the basketball, McGee had no time to block the shot and could only watch the ball and sigh.

Lin Feng didn't know the outcome of this goal. He wanted to leave the result to God. He had done everything he should do.

Unexpectedly, he would choose a mid-range shot. James looked up at the basketball flying in the air and finally hit the ball into the basket!

The whole audience exclaimed, and Lao Zhan gave a thumbs up.

"Wonderful. I like the breakthrough just now. It reminds me of Irving. He likes to circle around defenders, like this."

As he said that, Lao Zhan walked around the big Mikey and performed a non-physical performance.

"Hahaha, man, you knocked me down. The fake action just now was so realistic." Popper, who was squatting on the ground, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Lin Feng spread his hands and then pulled Pop up. He thought he would mess up, but he didn't expect it to be completed so smoothly.

In the training hall yesterday afternoon, Lin Feng specially practiced one of Irving's stunts, the spinning top.

To put it bluntly, it means to circle around the defensive players and bypass them to complete breakthroughs or shots.
Chapter completed!
