At three o'clock in the afternoon, five young rookies arrived at the Staples Training Center on time.

They made an appointment with defensive coach Branch, who likes to spend time with young people and coach them.

Blanche's performance as a player was mediocre, but he became very talented after becoming a coach. There are many such examples, and Blanche is one of them.

Of course, there is another familiar person, and that is the Lakers coach Buechler during the summer season. He and Branch are a good partner.

"I heard that the children were going to practice shooting here, so I drove over immediately."

Buechler was wearing casual clothes and was several years younger than he was when he was standing on the coach's bench wearing a suit and ties.

Lin Feng is very grateful to these two assistant coaches for recommending him in front of Walton and imparting him a lot of court experience.

Five-person shooting practice can even form a 3v2 offensive and defensive drill.

"Gary, your shooting point needs to be higher."

Buechler stood in front of Lin Feng correcting his shooting posture.

"Durant also told me the same thing, asking me to raise my shooting point so that I won't be easily blocked." Lin Feng responded with a smile.

Bichler made a cute gesture, "It seems I am a superstar too."

Regarding shooting posture, Lin Feng inherited Gary Smith's playing style, so this may be a small problem that was not corrected in college.

Everything else is fine. Lin Feng's turnaround jumper after receiving the ball is very comfortable. He is the best among the five, and his wingspan is second only to Ingram.

Yingge's shooting point is very high, and it is difficult for others to hit him. As long as Yingge improves his shooting percentage to a higher level, he will be the Lakers' second attacker.

As for the first attacker? The thirty-year-old man is lifting a tire on the side of the road accompanied by a personal trainer!

In addition to jump shots, Lin Feng, as a point guard, focused on training his dribbling ability.

He wants to have magical ball-handling skills like Kyrie Irving, integrating man and ball to the point where he can do whatever he wants.

Facing McCollum's defense, Lin Feng found that his center of gravity was unstable while dribbling at high speed and he was unable to hold the ball.

In the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, McCollum's chip shot illustrates the problem. The experienced CJ at that time first gave Lin Feng a slight physical confrontation as he was breaking through.

Don't underestimate that moment of physical contact. It was this moment that caused Lin Feng's movements to deform and disrupt his rhythm.

That guy was physically strong, but Lin Feng suffered a loss in terms of strength, and was cut off by CJ when he lost his rhythm.

"Okay Gary, I believe you will be invincible if you practice dribbling. Come with me."

Bichler turned around and walked towards the corner of the training hall. There were five pieces of paper of different colors taped to the wall. Lin Feng didn't know what they were.

"Tear off the brand name?" he blurted out.

Buechler smiled and said, "This is the basic skill of training dribbling. While dribbling, the other hand touches the squares on the wall in sequence. Isn't it very simple?"

After speaking, Bichler gave a demonstration. He was flexible and his hands did not interfere with each other, so it was easy to do it.

Even Lin Feng thought it was very simple, but when it was his turn, his hands were a little flustered and he even dropped the ball once.

", you should replace me in the game." Lin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not have these things in his memory, including his time at Syracuse University.

Buechler was very talented in humor. He touched the piece of paper on the wall and said: "If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely be a superstar in the league. Unfortunately, now I can only participate in the senior college basketball team. But the future belongs to you, you are only 19 years old."

, do all the work before the age of 25, and the remaining seven or eight years will shock the league."

"Concentrate and try again. If I can do it, you can do it."

Lin Feng nodded. "Three seconds of prediction" will not come in handy. It all depends on his ability.

The second time will be better than the first. This is Lin Feng’s talent. At the age of 19, the brain is at its best and he can learn everything very quickly.

It won't be long before he can use his hands freely.

"Very well Gary, speed up, especially the ball carrier. You can move faster, which will make your opponent dizzy and eventually pass him." Buechler said seriously.

Lin Feng laughed, "Are you serious? I did an anti-vertigo test during the physical examination."

Holding the ball with one hand and touching the piece of paper was only the first step. After Lin Feng got used to it, Bichler made it more difficult.

Ask Lin Feng to touch the piece of paper according to the color he said, so that he can also exercise his ball-protecting reaction.

At that time, McCollum intercepted the ball because Lin Feng's reaction was half a beat too slow, probably less than 0.5 seconds.

"Did that guy from CJ take the basketball away from me just because he touched pieces of paper every day?" Lin Feng has always remembered that scene.

Buechler spread his hands and said, "Perhaps Portland has a weirder training method, such as holding a dog in front of you, touching its head while dribbling, and then avoiding its bite."

Lin Feng was a complete rookie, but Bichler's serious expression made him believe it.

After a while, Bichler asked, "Gary, do you really think that the Moda Center has a few fierce dogs?"

Lin Feng smiled bitterly, "I listen to you."

Buechler burst out laughing, "The last person who was so naive was Lonzo Ball. That kid's father was very imaginative, but Lonzo was a good boy. At that time, he asked me if I wanted some bulldogs from the management.

.”

Lin Feng has not had much contact with Qiu Ge because he was injured and has not practiced with the team.

But Lin Feng knows that he is a man of action who doesn't talk much. Needless to say, he is talented and has always been very diligent on the court.

The boys who watched Lin Feng "practice hard" against the wall and kept touching the wall while practicing shooting found it funny.

"Gary, what did you do wrong that you need to wallow in?" Kuzma shouted jokingly.

Buechler pointed his finger at them and said, "Everyone will practice later, even if your position is power forward."

Kuzma thought he was talking too much and continued to shoot from outside the three-point line. The team needs Kuzma to develop his three-point ability. In the small ball era, we need accurate fourth-position players, so as to help the team open up space and give violence to the opponent.

The defenders create individual opportunities.

The moment Stephen Curry pressed the button on the three-point shooting machine, many originally excellent inside players were abandoned by the times.

For example, Howard, who was once the dominant player in the basket, did not have a big drop in rebounds per game. However, due to his lack of shooting ability in the interior, his inability to open up space, and his age, the team no longer regards Howard as the core of the team.

Because of this, he wandered around the league.

Similarly, Monroe, who was once a double-double inside line, has become cheap because of his huge size and slow speed.

The rise of the small ball system is the development of the times. For example, the triangle offense that was popular in the past few years is a product of the development of the times.

There will be many players who will not adapt and will be eliminated. For example, Hibbert, the "black version of Yao Ming", can no longer gain a foothold in the league. Although the ending of these former insider hegemons is disappointing, we must always look forward.

Due to the Lakers' lineup, Kuzma is more often pushed to the fourth position and needs to develop his shooting skills.

Lin Feng may play a guest role at the third position, because although the Lakers have many players at this position, they are not skilled.

The only ones who can do it are the old man and his junior. For some reason, Walton benched Beasley for the entire game in the first game, and he didn't even have a chance in garbage time.

Lin Feng believes that it may have something to do with Beasley playing too uniquely in the preseason.

Walton is a young coach who needs to establish prestige in the team. Even if he is as strong as LeBron, he must be obedient. How can he let Beasley break the rules?
