Chapter 71 The Preseason Begins! Spain First Battle!
"Okay guys, this game is over, let's continue training. We need to know that we are going to Spain next month, we hurry up." At this time, coach Mark finally came out to clean up the mess.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Mark had to admit that Ji Feng's performance was beyond his expectations. If he read it right, Ji Feng still had a lot of problems, but it was better than the showdown with Conley during the trial training. He was especially impressed by Ji Feng's grasp of the timing of steals.
"It seems that the preseason is a good opportunity to test him." Mark has already made a decision in his heart.
Chris has been urging him to let Ji Feng get playing time, because just after the news of Ji Feng joining the Grizzlies came out, CCTV first increased the number of Grizzlies broadcasts, and at the same time, many sponsors came to inquire about this. Let Chris see the huge business opportunities, and even the team owner asked him personally, but he let Mark stop him. He didn't want players who didn't have the ability to play, but Ji Feng's performance just now made it seem that Mark couldn't find a way to reject Ji Feng. Reason for playing.
Ji Feng still took the initiative to buy drinks. After all, he was a newcomer. Ji Feng would not miss this opportunity to integrate into the team, so Ji Feng took the initiative to buy water for everyone. Said, they have decided to give Ji Feng less trouble.
And the one who went to carry water with Ji Feng was, of course, Conley, who was also a rookie.
"Dude, I think we can be friends." On the way, Conley reached out and said to Ji Feng. Ji Feng's strength and character were finally recognized by Conley, and he was very interested in Conley.
"Of course, aren't we already." Ji Feng said with a smile, of course Ji Feng would not refuse, basketball is for five people, and it is difficult for a team with infighting and indifference to succeed.
"Then how do you teach me that trick! To be honest, he's really handsome." Conley immediately stepped up.
"That's not possible!" Ji Feng looked at Conley with tears in his eyes. It turned out to be the idea, but Ji Feng can't teach it. There is no second subsystem of God in the world.
"Wow, you're too cold, teach me how, I'll change it with outside skills!" Conley still chased after him relentlessly.
The two returned to the stadium, and Ji Feng took a drink and distributed it to all his teammates.
"Welcome to the Grizzlies." Gasol stretched out his hand and hugged next Jifeng, and said loudly in front of everyone, which also means that Ji Feng has been recognized by Gasol.
"My honor, Paul." Ji Feng said with a smile, it seems that this game has brought him a lot.
The time is spent in the daily training. In addition to training with his teammates, Ji Feng also conducts strength training under the guidance of his physical trainer and nutritionist. I realized my own shortcomings, and my strength is the first to bear the brunt!
He was unable to do the weakness discovered by True Eye because of his strength, which made Ji Feng deepen his thirst for strength. Although he could rely on the subsystem of God, he had no tasks recently and he could not get skill points, so he You can only rely on your own hard work day after day.
"Well done, Ji Feng, you are the best player I have ever seen in muscle elasticity and endurance. Seriously, if it weren't for your skin color, I would even think you were black."
The physical trainer is called Cannon Baker. He is one of the most well-known physical trainers in the United States. Many athletes in the NBA, WNBA and even other sports have received his training.
Just as Ji Feng thought, James showed his connections and invited him to train for Ji Feng, and the two sides signed a one-year contract.
He was full of praise for Ji Feng's muscles and ligament strength. It was the first time he had met such a good seedling.
"To be honest, Ganon, your training is so tiring. You deserve credit for how powerful they are." Ji Feng stood up from the bench press with difficulty, panting, since Ji Feng said his desire for strength After that, Ganon Baker formulated a whole set of training plans, and after discovering that Ji Feng's recovery ability was super strong, Ganon Baker continued to increase the intensity, allowing Ji Feng to live a life of immortality every day.
"You want low-salt chicken breast, boiled beef, broccoli, purple cabbage, and brown rice. It will be eaten in twenty minutes." At this time, dietitian Hannah walked in and put the food on Jifeng before.
"Thank you very much... Maybe you can rest for two days Hannah." Ji Feng looked helplessly at the things in front of him, seriously, he would rather do two more sets of squats, he hasn't eaten outside food for a month Yes, but for the sake of power, he can only do this.
But the results are obvious, Ji Feng's muscles have become stronger visibly.
Ji Feng's life was spent in such a quiet training life, and the news about Ji Feng from the outside world did not stop at all, but intensified, because after a dull September, the NBA preseason is finally about to start, which also indicates that It's getting closer and closer to Ji Feng's NBA debut!
Finally, on October 7th, the Grizzlies got on a plane to Spain, where they will play their first opponent of the summer game, the Unicaja team of the Spanish League, on October 10th.
The team has to travel long distances before the season is about to start, which makes the team very dissatisfied, because everyone knows that there is no point in playing against teams from other countries, and such preseason games are not only exhausting, but also really effective. is not big.
But there is no way. This is part of David Stern's NBA global expansion plan. He has been committed to expanding the NBA's influence around the world, so he continues to attract the best talents from all over the world to join the NBA. The return of star teams to their home countries to attract a wave of spectators is also an important means.
As the Grizzlies with Gasol, the Spanish ace, of course, they can't escape this requirement. They will face Unicaja and the student team on the 10th and 12th respectively.
If Ji Feng plays in the future, he may also go to China, and the Rockets will also go to Greece to play a game this year because of the presence of the Greek national player Spanoris in the team.
"Oh shit, we got to be on the plane for 10 hours," Guy complained as soon as he got on the plane.
"Hey, this damn preseason." Gasol didn't have the pleasure of going home. If he could decide, he would never choose to go back at this time.
"Stop complaining, let's play easily, win and go home, it's that simple," coach Mark said.
Ji Feng doesn't care, no matter who he is, he has to work hard to get his playing time, and now Mark has put him on the bench, and sometimes even replaces Jacobson as Guy's bench, which is not the same as it seems. It seems like a good opportunity to play against a very strong opponent.
But did everything go as smoothly as they thought?
