NBA peak

Chapter 58 Yi Jianlian's Crisis
As we all know, in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, a total of two NBA high-ranking players have been born.

One is Yao Ming and the other is Yi Jianlian.

In the 2007 draft, Yi Jianlian was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the sixth overall pick in the first round.

It's a pity that Yi Jianlian's NBA career is not as bright as Yao Ming's.

After struggling with the Milwaukee Bucks for two years, Yi Jianlian changed his old club one after another.

Yi Jianlian was successively traded to the New Jersey Nets, Washington Wizards and Dallas Mavericks. After that, Yi Jianlian's NBA career fell into confusion.

The NBA executives have less and less patience with Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian's playing time is getting shorter and shorter.

In the end, Yi Jianlian chose to leave the NBA after experiencing a trough in the Mavericks.

Turning around, the time came to 2016, the year Ge Feng participated in the draft. The Lakers signed this Chinese player who had been in the NBA for a period of time with a one-year contract of 800 million US dollars.

Yi Jianlian's transaction happened shortly before Ge Feng's trial training.

Lakers owner Jim Buss was very angry after learning that the Lakers had signed Yi Jianlian. He held several high-level meetings and wanted to kick Yi Jianlian out of the Lakers.

Now that the Lakers are in a sensitive period of changing emperors, Kupchak doesn't have much confidence to win Ge Feng.

Pelinka understood Kupchak's hint. He knew that this was a matter for the Lakers' top management, and Kupchak couldn't help it.

Pelinka said no more, and left the Lakers with Ge Feng.

"Ge Feng, I have to have a good talk with you about the Lakers management."

Pelinka's attitude was very serious, and Ge Feng quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.

After understanding the ins and outs of the Lakers, Ge Feng was very entangled.

If the Lakers continue to be so disturbed by the high-level fighting spirit, then they will never have a chance to turn around.

Who would have thought that the Fengyun team, which once ruled the league, would be reduced to what it is today.

Pelinka continued: "This year's runner-up, the Warriors have the No. 30 pick. The Cavaliers are also good, with the No. 28 pick. If possible, I will help you contact the team's senior management and let you participate in their trial training. There is a high probability that your pick will be picked by these two teams, and LeBron is... trustworthy."

Ge Feng directly rejected Pelinka's request.

"No, Pelinka, do me another favor. After you go back, post my three-point performance in the Lakers trial on the Internet, and put it together with the previous rookie campaign. I think the Cavaliers and Warriors must be paying attention to me at this time. As long as this video is seen by them, I don't have to waste time to participate in the trial, and I will still be selected." Ge Feng said decisively.

Pelinka approved of Ge Feng's idea.

Although trial training is important, rookies are rookies after all, and they don't have so much financial resources and energy to support them to go around for trial training.

What Ge Feng said is the method that many rookies often use, which is understandable.

Since Ge Feng's pick is very close to the Warriors and Cavaliers, why bother to fly back and forth.

When the two returned to the hotel, Per had already prepared a rich and nutritious meal.

Pelinka looked at the neatly arranged fruits and vegetables on the plate with a wry smile, and said, "Ge Feng, you are really lucky to find such a competent nutritionist."

Ge Feng rolled his eyes: "Don't laugh at me, if you don't want to eat, I'll go out and buy some for you."

Pelinka waved his hand: "Farewell, I have an appointment for a while, so I won't stay with you to supplement nutrition. Take care of it."

After speaking, Pelinka drove away from Ge Feng's hotel.

Athletes' nutritious meals are not enjoyed by ordinary people.

Good wine, isn't fried chicken burger delicious?Why eat fruits and vegetables!

Ge Feng was enjoying his 'nutritious food' with a wry smile.

Since Ge Feng signed the contract with Pell, Ge Feng has to eat 5-7 meals a day, and each meal is different, with a balanced intake of fruits, vegetables, meat, and staple foods every day.

Ge Feng finally understood why James wanted to eat pork so much.

Now Ge Feng also wants to eat pork...

After dinner, Ge Feng went to the basketball court to train his physical fitness as usual.

After a lot of sweat, Pell worked tirelessly and rushed to the stadium where Ge Feng was training with a sumptuous supper.

It's been a few days, Ge Feng has gotten used to it from being apprehensive at the beginning.

He casually took a piece of bread and a cup of oatmeal brought by Pell, and Ge Feng started to eat hungrily.

"Eat slowly, the eating time should not be shorter than 10 minutes, otherwise it will be regarded as unqualified." Pell's warning voice sounded in Ge Feng's ear.

Ge Feng was chewing on the bread, and when he looked up, he happened to see Pell holding a stopwatch in his hand, carefully recording his meal time.

Ge Feng wanted to cry, but started to chew and eat slowly.

"Okay, you've eaten two bites of bread in a row, it's time for a bite of cereal." Pell reminded Ge Feng very gently.

Ge Feng: "..."

goooo...

Ge Feng carefully picked up the cup and took a sip cautiously.

There are many young players on the court, all of them cast envious and distressed eyes on Ge Feng.

Pell nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, that's right! Eat slowly so that your body can better absorb nutrients."

"..."

After supper, Ge Feng had to walk slowly outside the hotel for half an hour according to Pell's request.

At this time, Pell won't come out to monitor, and it's rare for Ge Feng to catch his breath.

Professional athletes suffer behind their backs, which is really beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

The question of the physical trainer became the most important task on Ge Feng's mind.

During the period before the start of the draft, Ge Feng was always on various professional websites, looking for a suitable physical trainer.

Choosing a physical trainer is an extremely painful process. The trainers Ge Feng has met these days are either too young or too expensive, in short, they are not suitable.

Pelinka isn't much help here either.

Physical trainers are different from agents. Physical trainers have to get a monthly salary. Pelinka knows all the top trainers in the league, and their monthly salary has reached a jaw-dropping amount.

In short, the money that Ge Feng can take out is not enough to pay for a month's training fee.

Ge Feng could only put this matter aside for a while.

Hey, there is such a paradox in the world, the more successful the road is, the greater the difficulty is lack of money.

But when people have money, they are often successful.

Therefore, success is not only about hard work, luck is equally important.

Ge Feng even began to fantasize that there would be a great trainer like Mike Procopio, and suddenly, on a whim, he would help him improve his physical fitness for free.

A week later, the 2016 NBA Draft will be officially held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Coincidentally, the 2016 rookie conference is back in New York again.

Ge Feng had made a name for himself here not long ago.

In addition to the rookie promotion in Rock Park, there is also a cold girl with snow-white skin, which Ge Feng has been silently caring about.

The United States is a country that advocates freedom extremely, and the Statue of Liberty is also located on Liberty Island in New York.

New York is the model city that best represents freedom in the world today.

But the more extreme freedom, the more worried Ge Feng was.

Liberty often comes with depravity, free America, shootouts every day.

New York also has the highest number of shootings in the world.

In this way, is it really safe for a delicate girl like Xia Shilan to wander alone in New York?
Ge Feng has plans to let Xia Shilan change to work in the city.
