First the Timberwolves, then the Knicks, the 76ers, and Yi Feng tried out one team after another, leaving a deep impression on the coaching staff and uniform staff of these teams, and they all promised to pick him out in the draft.

But the promises given by these teams are not what Yi Feng wants.

Although Yi Feng has always been confident in himself, he also knows that he is not the first choice of these three teams.

Of course, that's just for now.

On May 18, Yi Feng came to Los Angeles.

On the morning of the 17th, he tried out with the Timberwolves, flew half of the United States in the afternoon to the Knicks and Philadelphia for the trial, and then flew to Los Angeles. Ordinary people really can't stand such a trip, Zhou Mu is obviously in good spirits, but Yi Feng is still in good spirits. This physical strength is really perverted.

Los Angeles, the "City of Angels" in California, USA, not only has the world-famous Hollywood, but also the NBA giant team - the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers finished the 2014-15 regular season with just 21 wins, the fourth-lowest in the league, and are very likely to finish in the top five picks in the upcoming draft pick.

Yi Feng came all the way from the Timberwolves, Knicks, and 76ers to try out, and such a large area of the net naturally has his own plans. His own strength, coupled with Zhou Mu's operation, he believes that he can be selected in the top ten.

Such faith is not unfounded.

Needless to say, Yi Feng is absolutely confident; As for Zhou Mu's methods and connections, I have seen a lot of them these days, which can be called a god-level operation. And maybe that's not his limit.

The Lakers' home arena is the Staples Center, which is also the home arena of the Clippers. But the Staples Center is only leased to them for playing, not where the players of both teams usually train.

The Lakers' training facility is the Toyota Center in Los Angeles, and the Clippers' training facility is PlayaVista, and the two teams use the Staples Center at completely staggered times, so there is no conflict.

It's a coincidence, when Yi Feng came to the Toyota Center, D'Angelo? Russell actually came, too.

They both received tryout invitations from the Lakers, and they happened to come to the Lakers on the same day.

According to some media reports, Downs, who was named the "quasi-champion", only accepted tryouts from two teams, and all other teams rejected tryout invitations.

And the team that was "lucky" to be able to try him out was the team that finished in the top two in the draw. In terms of probability, it should be the Timberwolves and the Knicks.

But this is not absolute, and the team with the worst record may not be drawn the top pick.

In the 2013-14 season, the Cleveland Cavaliers had the ninth-lowest regular season record in the league, but they were lucky enough to pick the top pick and select the very talented Andrew Wiggins.

Instances of such good fortune as the Cavaliers are rare, but not impossible. So anything is possible until the results of the draw are available.

Now that the draw has not yet been carried out, Downs has released such "cruel words", in addition to having absolute confidence in himself, it may also be a kind of suppression of Yi Feng, who was born out of nowhere.

After all, Russell failed miserably before, if he is the strongest person who is increasingly recognized as a rookie in this year, it will be impossible to say anything if he does not suppress Yi Feng's "arrogant" arrogance at this time.

Compared with Downs, who put "cruel words" in the media, Russell has become much more low-key.

Although he was very unhappy and thought that his loss to Yi Feng was not a real difference in strength, Russell understood that this was already an ironclad fact, and no one could change it.

He himself does not have the ability to reverse time and space, go back to the past and change history, all he can do is to accept the cruelty of reality, work silently, fight desperately, and regain his due honor and status.

Therefore, he, like Yi Feng, has been actively trying out recently. He wants to take the opportunity of the trial to show himself to various teams again, and he really has the strength of himself.

A person can make mistakes, he can fail, and he can be forgiven; And if after making mistakes and failures, you can learn from this and change your face and become a new person, this person is even more likely to succeed.

Russell's positive attitude made the team silently praise him. Indeed, as Russell had predicted, it gradually turned in his favor.

But Russell's heart and emotions that he finally calmed down, after meeting Yi Feng at the Toyota Center, all this came to naught!

The anger in my heart is like a volcano that has only been dormant for a while, and under the accumulation of this time, the magma has spewed even more irritable!

Why?!

Why is Yi Feng's popularity still high after stepping on his own position? !

Why did he make headlines three times a week?!

Why is everyone around him talking about him?!

Why?!

I'm not convinced!

It was supposed to be mine!

This super popularity is mine! This long-lasting topicality is mine too!!

"That young man looks at you like he is looking at the enemy who killed his father, you should be careful."

Zhou Mu noticed Russell's red eyes.

However, it is also a little difficult not to notice, Russell's eyes are almost like pink eye, it is too obvious.

A pair of big red eyes stared at Yi Feng, which actually made Yi Feng feel a trace of the legendary "murderous aura".

"Relax, if that kid dares to do something to me, he will definitely not let him get cheap."

"That's right, your martial arts value is really high, it seems that you have only been learning with your little girlfriend for less than a year...... Genius is really a field that ordinary people cannot understand. ”

Yi Feng laughed, "Don't say that, I'll be proud." ”

"With such an achievement, it doesn't hurt to be proud. After all, you're still a young man, and if you're as old as an old man, you're not like a monster. ”

With that, the two entered the Lakers' training arena under the leadership of the staff.

In May, the Lakers players, who were blocked from the playoffs early, have been on vacation for more than a month now.

There are too few NBA players who are still training in the offseason.

In this huge Vanity Fair, there are people who come for fame and people who come for profit. There are a lot of people who play for fame and fortune, and these people tend to choose to indulge themselves in luxury during the offseason.

So it's very common for a lot of players to come back from the offseason and not lose more than a lap of fat on their bodies.

After a long and grueling 82 regular season games, it's certainly normal to take a break, because the players are human too. So at this time, there are not many Lakers players who appear in the training arena.

Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson, two sophomores who just finished their first season in the NBA, are sweating it out in the arena at the moment.

Randle was drafted by the Lakers with the seventh pick in the first round last year, but the tragic kid left the game injured in the regular season opener and was reimbursed for the season, almost as tragic as the rookie season of Clippers All-Star power forward Blake Griffin.

So, he's going to train hard this summer and prove himself on the field. He has heard many Lakers fans compare him to the tragic Auden the Great, and he can't do it without hard work.

Clarkson is a second-round pick who was picked by the Lakers with the 46th pick in the second round in last year's draft. As a result, he only received a two-year, $1.35 million contract with the Lakers, and it is still not guaranteed for the second season.

In other words, if Clarkson does not perform well in the 2015-16 season, the Lakers can cut him at any time without paying a buyout fee.

So, Clarkson put on a hard job on the court and won the 2014-15 NBA All-Rookie First Team.

In the 2015-16 season, when his contract was not guaranteed, he had to work harder. As a result, he gave up his offseason vacation plans and spent his days in the gym.

Yi Feng's recent understanding of the NBA has been improving at a terrifying rate.

He knows all the four or five hundred people in the NBA league, and he has a certain understanding of them.

He could see at a glance that among the people in the arena at the moment, in addition to some coaching staff members, staff, trainers, etc., only Randle and Clarkson were Lakers players, and everyone else came here for tryouts.

The players who tried out, Yi Feng didn't know much. There were few familiar looks, except for Russell, who had only seen two or three faces in the Chicago joint training camp.

The tryout runs normally, the basic physical test, the basic shooting test, and so on.

During this period, Russell kept staring at Yi Feng with anger and hatred. If you put them directly in the ring, Russell will surely rush over with a scream. If you don't beat Yi Feng to death, you will never give up.

But considering the combat effectiveness of both sides, even if the two really fight to the death in the ring, I am afraid that the result can only be that Russell is killed.

There are quite a few people who come to the Lakers for a tryout today, twelve or thirteen. Therefore, a confrontation is inevitable.

Russell, of course, stood on the side of Yi Feng's opponent, and while he was angry in his heart, he was also secretly happy, and the opportunity for revenge came like this, so that he was not the slightest defenseless.

In the same match, the same unfamiliar teammates, Russell secretly vowed: This time, I will never lose again!

In the group confrontation match of the Lakers trial this time, there was no obvious difference in strength between the groups.

Except for Yi Feng and Russell, the strength of the other more than ten people is almost on the same level.

Randle and Clarkson stopped training and gave up the playing field while sitting on the sidelines with interest and watching the game.

They train in the gym every day and a few people come to try out every day. Of course, the quality of the trial players is uneven, and the number of players is also more or less, and such a confrontation is not seen every day.

Moreover, what is special about this confrontation is that it is another confrontation between Yi Feng and Russell, and it is another confrontation full of topics.

For this week, they are already very familiar with Yi Feng, who has dominated the screen again and again. As a stepping stone to Yi Feng's ascension, they have deep sympathy for Russell.

This knight's revenge show, in their opinion, is as enjoyable as a Hollywood blockbuster!

Will Russell be able to take revenge and regain everything that belongs to him, or will Yi Feng trample Russell under his feet again and slap his face with strength?

They expressed deep anticipation!
