Chapter 116: Trial Training (I)
The taxi stopped at the Madison Square Garden West Gate.
Lin Feng and Shen Mengfei stood at the door for a while, and a white-bearded foreigner and Lin Feng's teammate Harris in Jiangning appeared in the sight of the two.
"Hey, Lin, long time no see, looks like you're not bad!" Harris walked over and gave Lin Feng a warm hug.
"You seem to be good, your muscles are stronger." After all, they were teammates who had fought side by side, so Lin Feng and Harris seemed to be particularly affectionate.
"Lin, this beautiful girl must be your girlfriend, oh, by the way, she seems to be a singer, very popular in China......" Harris looked at Shen Mengfei and said with a grin.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was suddenly embarrassed.
"Brother, you recognize the wrong person, she's not my girlfriend, we're just ordinary friends." Lin Feng hurriedly clarified the relationship with Shen Mengfei, and then introduced: "She is the general manager of Jiangzhou Southern Airlines Club, Shen Mengfei, perhaps, you will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”
"Hello, Harris." Shen Mengfei was not angry at all because Harris mistook her for Qin Ruolin, and greeted him warmly.
"Oh my God, there is such a young and beautiful general manager of the club." Harris exclaimed in surprise, and then said to Shen Mengfei with a smile: "I'm sorry Mr. Shen, I ...... just now."
Harris spread his hands and didn't say anything else.
"By the way, Lin Feng, Mr. Shen, this is my agent Walker." Harris said, pointing to the bearded white man.
"Hello, Lin, I'm so glad to see you here." Walker shook hands with Lin Feng and greeted Shen Mengfei again.
"Mr. Walker, I wonder what you are doing in a hurry to get me here?" Lin Feng asked straight to the point.
"Oh, it's a matter of urgency, but it's good that you're already in Manhattan, otherwise, you're afraid you'll lose this tryout." Walker touched his beard and said: "At noon, the Knicks completed the tryout of the other three players, and they were very satisfied with one of them, and even they have decided to sign that guy, if you don't come to New York, maybe I will tell you not to come, but, I know that you are already on the plane, so I communicated with the Knicks, hoping that they can give you a chance to try, but they are only willing to wait for you until seven o'clock tonight, if you can't arrive, they will sign a contract with that guy." ”
"Luckily, you're here, so we're going to the stadium soon, can you get a tryout right now?" Walker asked Lin Feng.
"No problem, I can do it at any time." Lin Feng responded solemnly.
"That's good, let's go, but I have to tell you that your hope is slim." Walker said.
Lin Feng nodded, didn't say anything, and followed Walker into Madison Square Garden.
This is the first time Lin Feng has walked into Madison Square Garden, and no one could have imagined that soon after, this yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese will become the new king here!!
……
Walker led Lin Feng straight to a "secondary hall" in Madison Square Garden, which was the training hall of the New York Knicks.
In the stadium, the team is training in groups, and the members of the coaching staff are concentrating on their work.
"Brother Fils, the player I recommended to you has arrived." Walker walked to the side of the court and said to Knicks head coach Phils who was standing there.
Phils is one of the NBA's most well-known decorated coaches, having won five championships in his coaching career.
"Oh, Walker, you're still so efficient." Phils and Walker are old acquaintances, which is why he is willing to give Walker face and meet Lin Feng, otherwise, he has already signed a contract with another player who performed well in the trial.
"Fils, this is the Lin Feng I told you." Walker pointed to Lin Feng and introduced.
"Hello, Coach Phils." Lin Feng greeted Fils politely.
It's just that the other party didn't speak, but looked Lin Feng up and down carefully: "It looks a little shorter than in the video, are you six feet tall?" ”
Lin Feng thought for a moment, then nodded: "Just 6 feet." ”
"It's too short." Fils shook his head slightly, "It doesn't seem to be very strong, either. ”
"McKa, the last trial player has arrived, you take him for a medical check-up." Fils yelled at a black man on the sidelines.
“OK。” The black man who called Maika said yes and walked to the sidelines to glance at Lin Feng, but his gaze stayed on Shen Mengfei for a long time.
"Wow, what a pretty woman!" Maika praised it unabashedly, and then asked Lin Feng, "Your girlfriend?" ”
"Friends." Lin Feng said lightly.
"Okay, I get it." A lewd smile appeared on Maika's face, he naturally didn't believe that Lin Feng and Shen Mengfei were just friends.
"Come with me, but your friend is going to stay here, or wait in the reception room." Maika pointed at Shen Mengfei and said.
"I'll just wait here." Shen Mengfei took the initiative.
“OK!” Maika shrugged and didn't talk nonsense.
"Lin, don't be nervous, it's just the most basic physical examination." Walker patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.
Lin Feng nodded and followed Maika out of the training hall.
"I'm Maika, the team's number analyst, what's your name?" Maika asked Lin Feng as she walked.
"My name is Lin Feng." Lin Feng responded.
"Oh, it's been a long time since I've tried out a yellow race, maybe three years, maybe five years, of course, I don't mean to discriminate by that, you know, different races have different talents, like you tend to have smarter brains." Maika was very talkative and said with a smile.
Although this guy's words have contempt for yellow people, what he said is also true, whether it is basketball or football, there are very few yellow people who can achieve excellent results.
"Maika, maybe I'll surprise you." Lin Feng said.
"Oh, hopefully." Maika shrugged: "Your English seems to be good, very authentic." ”
"yes, so I don't have communication problems with my teammates." Lin Feng smiled, he kidnapped Stephen Curry and naturally learned his language, so Lin Feng was able to speak English fluently, and even the dialect of Ohio, where Curry was born, he was also very fluent.
'It's really good for you to settle into the team, if you get a contract, of course.
As he spoke, Maika led Lin Feng into a room.
This room is supposed to be the team's physiotherapy room, with a few massage tables in one corner and some equipment in the open space in the middle.
"You're here, Maika." In the room, a middle-aged woman in casual clothes greeted Maika.
"The last trial player, let's do a basic medical examination for him." Maika pointed at Lin Feng and said.
"Oh, it's a yellow-skinned guy." The middle-aged woman looked at Lin Feng and introduced herself: "I am Monica, the team's physiotherapist, I hope you can cooperate with me later." ”
"Okay." Lin Feng nodded.
