Chapter 54 Trials for the Lakers
As the draft looms, rookies are all running around trying out for their desired teams.

In addition, the Chicago United Training Camp has also sent out a lot of latest news. The real data of many rookies has gradually surfaced, and the draft position has become more and more clear.

The most fluctuating pick is actually Ge Feng's teammate, Joshua.

As the most jumping muscle man in the NCAA, Joshua was very eye-catching in the training camp.

Although Joshua is not reused in the NCAA regular lineup, in the NBA where small balls are prevalent, Joshua's role is maximized.

Joshua's pick has been rising steadily, and he almost squeezes into the top 20 in the first round.

In contrast, Ge Feng, who has been training silently and did not participate in any trial training, dropped from 20th to 30th, becoming a veritable rookie at the end of the first round.

It's not that Ge Feng didn't work hard. Xia Shilan's illness made Ge Feng more decisive to reject the trial notices of several teams. Ge Feng's exposure was also declining, gradually disappearing from people's sight.

Fortunately, Pelinka prepared a rookie promotion plan for Ge Feng in advance, which brought back a lot of popularity for Ge Feng.Otherwise, Ge Feng is likely to fall directly outside the top 40.

After all, Rock Park does not belong to regular basketball, and Ge Feng's pick still inevitably declined.

This is the ending that Ge Feng predicted in advance, so Ge ​​Feng did not show too much disappointment.

Through this, it can also be seen from the side how significant the NBA's early trial training is to a new player.

The No. [-] pick on the rookie list is still Ben Simmons from Louis University.

Ford's evaluation of Simmons is that this rookie is invincible.

Since his high school career, Simmons has attracted the attention of many teams in the NBA.In his high school basketball career, Simmons won the National High School Basketball Championship twice in three years and was elected as the MVP of the tournament.

During the NCAA period, Simmons was also able to average 34.9 minutes per game, scoring 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists, shooting 56% from the field, fully crushing other NCAA strikers.

The No. [-] pick is Ingram.

That's right, after more than half a month of continuous trial training, Ingram returned from No.7 to the No. [-] pick.

Ingram returned from injury and gained weight to 190 pounds. Now Ingram is stronger and his shots are more stable.

It is also worth mentioning that Barnes, after trial training, Barnes's ranking has also made a lot of progress, ranking No.3 among all rookies.

After kicking the door, Barnes' psychological problems were exposed, and many teams began to look down on Barnes.

Barnes' strength, after all, is still there.Although he suffered a lot of criticism from the outside world, he still climbed back tenaciously.

On June 2016, 6, there is still one week before the draft.

Under the arrangement of Pelinka, Ge Feng participated in the Lakers' trial training with some other rookies.

NBA workouts are also very realistic.

The hot rookies, such as Simmons, Ingram, and Barnes, every time they try out, they are shooting alone.

Even so, while they were training, there were more than a dozen NBA teams watching from the sidelines, throwing olive branches to them from time to time.

Ge Feng's situation was completely opposite to theirs.

Ge Feng is ranked 30th. No team will take special care of a rookie like him at the end of the first round.

Therefore, during Ge Feng's trial training, he had to compete with all the other players participating in the Lakers' trial training at the same time.

The trial training is divided into three parts.

The first link is the basic ability test.

The content of the basic ability test is mainly the player's shooting, passing, and dribbling ability, as well as basic sports data such as height, wingspan, high jump, speed, and bench press.

When Ge Feng was testing, Kobe just came to the Lakers training ground wearing a gray baseball cap.

Since Kobe retired, his heart is still on the Lakers.

Although Kobe did not officially hang up with the Lakers, everyone knew that Kobe would not leave the Lakers completely.

Kobe must have used a stealth method to continue to contribute to the Lakers.

After the first round of testing, Zubac and Marquis performed the best.Their physical fitness is top-notch, and they are the talents the Lakers need most in the short term.

The head trainer of the Lakers, Gary Vitti, carefully marked Zubac and Marquis on the roster.

Lakers assistant trainers Marco Nunez and Pelinka saw Kobe, and they were free for the time being, so they walked towards Kobe together.

The second link is heads-up, where players compete with each other 1-on-1.

Ge Feng started to shine in the second session.

Bullfighting is Ge Feng's favorite thing to do after getting in touch with basketball. On the basketball court, Ge Feng is to be the bull king in the bullfighting world.

Those who played against him, including Zubac and Marquis, who performed very well in the first round, were all tempered by Ge Feng.

Ge Feng hired Pei Er as his personal nutritionist, it seems that he really made a profit.

Under Pei'er's diet control, Ge Feng's strength has increased a lot without gaining weight.

Almost all the players who participated in the Lakers' trial training this time were the end of the first round and the second round.Some players even failed to pass the second round. Ge Feng is invincible in this link.

At the same time, Kobe also saw Ge Feng's bullfighting performance.

Kobe was quite surprised. He had always thought that Ge Feng would be a three-point player with a big heart, just like the old fish Fisher. He didn't expect Ge Feng to be so outstanding in singles.

Pelinka took the opportunity to sell Ge Feng to Kobe again: "Kobe, don't think that Ge Feng is just a 3D player, his draft template is you!"

Kobe grinned: "Really? This is really interesting."

After the second trial training is over, it will soon enter the final round of trial training-full-court confrontation.

The confrontation is divided into two groups, five people in each group, and a regular basketball game is played like a normal game.

Due to his outstanding performance in the second round, Ge Feng deserved to be the starter.

Garivetti arranged for Ge Feng to be a shooting guard. Ge Feng played well as a small forward in the NCAA, but in the NBA, his body is too thin.

The temporarily formed team did not have a tacit understanding. Basically, Ge Feng and Marquis were constantly fighting against each other.

Marquise's side is obviously more talented, and they have been playing against Ge Feng's team.

At the end of halftime, Ge Feng's team fell behind by ten points.

Ge Feng was replaced by Garivetti to rest.

In normal training games, the halftime break is not as long as in regular games.

The players only have 5 minutes to breathe before they continue to play.

This is also a way for the team to test the endurance of the players.
