After the statements of many stars, the Las Vegas Summer League Finals were completely detonated. Although it is still just the excitement of the NBA circle, the NBA officials saw an opportunity, and they found that Zhang Feng is a natural topic of conversation, and wherever he goes, there is news happening.

Perhaps in the era of Adam Shaw, the NBA will be able to use this event to elevate basketball to a new national status. As we all know, the four major sports leagues in North America, although the NBA is the league with the highest average salary of players, and the NBA is also the most well-known outside the United States, but the NBA has always been inferior to the status of the NFL in the hearts of Americans, and the popularity of the NBA Finals and the NFL Super Bowl, the biggest events of the two leagues every year, is completely incomparable.

Adam Shaw took over from Stern and enjoyed Stern's legacy – a sky-high television contract, and now he's determined to do something that will make him famous in NBA history.

Lakers management is holding an impromptu video conference at the moment, and general manager Palin, head coach Wharton, and president of operations Magic Johnson are meeting to discuss one thing: whether to let Lonzo Ball, who has a tight calf muscle, play.

Wharton's attitude is very clear and resolutely disagrees, no matter how many big names he watches the game, the players are his own, and no one else will be responsible for the injury. Palin, as Kobe's former agent and current general manager of the Lakers, has a more neutral view and looks more at the attitude of the Magic.

The Magic also made it clear, he pointed out that this is a rare opportunity for the Lakers to regain the attention of fans, Nicholson is about to lose die-hard fans, tomorrow's game is simply a godsend, he feels that Lonzo Ball is just a little muscle tension, not an injury, not too nervous.

Perrin didn't make a point, and the dispute between Wharton and the Magic stalled, and the last call to Wharton's phone was a call from Ball's father, who expressed his desire for his son Lonzo to play.

Wharton was not reconciled and personally called Lonzo Ball in the hope that the other party would make his own decision as an adult, and Lonzo thought twice and decided to play.

Early in the morning of the 16th, when the Kings players were still asleep, David and Turner knocked on the door one by one, and after all the players got up and had breakfast, the Kings players, including Carter, and other people who did not have to participate in the summer league were also called on the team bus, and Turner told everyone to go to the stadium to practice.

On the bus, all the Kings players were a little excited, they didn't experience a big scene like Carter Hill and others.

"Honestly, tonight is going to be the first shining moment of my basketball career, and I'm going to give it my all," Justin, who is in the second year of secondary school, muttered via Twitter.

Buddy, as a person who usually doesn't participate in small talk, slapped Justin on the chest and said, "The big names are all here to see Zhang Feng, why are you excited."

"Yes, don't you just go to the empty basket and forget about the last time you dunked the fly?" Papayannis said.

Justin ignored the joking "taunt" between the two, turned his head to Zhang Feng in the back row and said, "I did come to Zhang Feng, but Zhang Feng passed the ball to me, right?" If you need to do anything next time, just look for me, just give me two more empty passes" After speaking, he made a fist gesture learned from Zhang Feng, and the whole car erupted in laughter.

Zhang Feng was thinking about how to deal with the reporter's interview, and when he heard the chat between the three of them, he decided to give everyone a reassurance, he didn't want his teammates to change their mentality because of the many big names coming this time, and it is very dangerous for competitive competitions to suffer from gains and losses, after thinking for a while, he stood up and said:

"I thought of a new tactic, except for the situation where there is no one to defend tonight, I will pass all the balls to you, I will definitely be under a lot of defensive pressure, and the attack needs you to attack. In addition, the joint defense tactics discussed last night, the front line is the main defensive point, and when it comes to attacking, you can catch the ball and shoot the ball is the most energy-saving choice, and I will break through the ball more."

These words are not casually said, Zhang Feng took good care of these words, first of all, he did not act as the boss of the team, and the reason given for passing the ball was convincing enough, not a "transaction" as Justin said, and finally respected the team's established tactical strategy, so as to show his attitude and respect his teammates and coaches, the key is that the tactical communication will not be misunderstood.

After listening to Zhang Feng's words, Turner glanced at David next to his seat, and both of them had appreciative eyes in their eyes, and he also got up from the first row of seats and said to all the players:

"This tactic is quite reasonable, today by the front line and the inside line to attack, Justin, Giles, Papa, you come on, Buddy can wander more outside the three-point line, Zhang Feng needs to ensure that there is at least one vacant space for you after breaking through, understand?"

"Understood, coach" said the four people who had just been named by Turner.

The Lakers also decided to temporarily practice today, and Magic Johnson and general manager Perrin took a flight to Las Vegas early in the morning. Although it was a temporary practice, the entire Lakers team was not too excited, after all, the protagonist tonight was not them, at most there was one Lonzo Ball.

At this moment, Lonzo Bauer was stretching his muscles with the cooperation of the training room, and the magician walked up to him and asked with a smile:

"Bauer, no problem."

"It's all OK, wait and see what I tell them what is the list and what is the No. 5 position," Bauer said harshly.

The magician nodded in satisfaction, then snapped his palms and said loudly, "Assemble, boys!"

Wharton thrust his back, glanced at the magician, and walked away.

The Lakers players stood together, and after the Magic paced back and forth a few times, he raised his voice and said:

"Tonight, you're going to have a big scene, this is your chance, it's also the Lakers' chance, the Lakers have kept the fans waiting for too long, we can't wait any longer, we're going to make the playoffs this season, so tonight's game to win is a clarion call to the fans to announce the return of the Lakers, we have to win, is it clear?"

"Clear," a few fragmentary voices rang out inside the arena.

"Wow, I can't see your fighting spirit, come, shout with me, one, two, three, win" The magician shouted loudly with his fist raised.

"Win, win, win" The fighting spirit of the Lakers players seemed to be ignited, and they shouted to the cry of the magician.

Wharton stood by with a smile, thoughtful.

Just when the players of the two teams were training hard for the victory in the finals, the NBA officially released a message:

"Due to a variety of considerations, we have decided to change the venue of this Las Vegas Summer League Finals to MGM Arena, customers who have purchased tickets before do not need to worry, your tickets are still applicable, and we will add some tickets to buy at NBA ticketing, Amazon and other places, and finally sincerely welcome everyone to see this summer league finals."

MGM Stadium, a large sports hall in Las Vegas that was recently completed, a concert venue for various big-name singers, and a UFC tournament venue, it seems that Adam Shaw has decided to do something big.
