Chapter 340: The Summer of '05
After the Wizards and Lakers concluded their big deal over the summer, the SuperSonics made a small deal with the Magic, with Turkoglu and tall white shooter Garriti being sent to the SuperSonics, and the Magic getting all-around player Lewis.
Marbury's performance in the last playoffs disappointed the SuperSonics' top brass somewhat, and the emergence of such a trade also reflects the SuperSonics' potential dissatisfaction with Marbury, especially after Marbury signed his last big contract.
The Magic acquired Lewis, apparently another Houston-like shooter for Maddy, who had no chemistry between Rietkoglou and Maddie last season, and even the team's operating system was largely chaotic...... It is said that after Maddie learned about this transaction, he admired and supported the management very much.
Since the summer of '05, there has been no deal to attract the attention of fans, but the path chosen by so many superstars has really made many fans look forward to the new season.
These things don't have much to do with Gong Feng, even including Kwame's transfer, and after completing the contract extension with the Knicks, Gong Feng returned to Huaguo.
Every summer, returning to China to visit the elders, deal with domestic affairs and participate in some fan activities is almost what Gong Feng has to do every summer, this kind of work is not easy at all, but it can be regarded as a way to restore physical fitness.
However, after some internal people had some dirty problems on some things, Gong Feng did not participate in too many activities this year, but after doing a fixed activity for Under Armour, he politely refused the invitations to many programs, and only after dealing with domestic investment, Gong Feng returned to the United States.
At this time, Zhou Xun still did not return to Gong Feng's side, only Zhang Linfei pushed away a lot of his own affairs and accompanied Gong Feng back to Huaguo.
Gong Feng did not refuse Zhang Linfei's special accompaniment this time, and this was the first time Gong Feng brought a lady back to his hometown...... Although Gong Feng's withdrawal from the national team was a little excessive, the Gong and Zhang families felt the greatest satisfaction with Gong Feng bringing Zhang Linfei back to the family.
Therefore, Gongfeng's summer this year was the easiest year, and of course, some of the things that followed were also the beginning of it, and the arrangement of some things also changed significantly.
Accompanied by Zhang Linfei at all times, Gong Feng finally completed the endorsement activities with various companies in more than a month, and then in the middle of August, Gong Feng put down everything, gathered his training team again, and began the necessary exercise in the summer.
As for the sparring partners, Curry, who is about to graduate from high school, must be one of them, and the other two are the Knicks' gains in recent years, Paul and Livingston.
After Livingston came to the Knicks, he barely had time to play, because correcting some of his habits, strengthening his technical moves, and strengthening his muscle groups were the most urgent things the Knicks needed him to do.
At this time, two training camps were opened within the Knicks, one for Gong Feng, another for Hill and Allen, and in addition to Yao Ming, the Knicks' players for the new season were arranged in two training camps.
This kind of summer training is not officially forced by the Knicks, but the players who come to the Knicks know what Mill thinks and thinks about players who do not participate in group activities, that is, the veteran Nick called Gong Feng afterwards, saying that he would arrive later, let alone a group of rookie substitutes?
Brian didn't take any special training methods in the summer of this year, all he could do in the summer was to strengthen Gong Feng's technical strengths, strengthen other training that could be used, and of course, let Gong Feng and his future teammates have more integration.
The specific training method, which the media did not find out in the end, is that it is a private training gym rented by Gong Feng in Los Angeles, and Bryan has also signed non-disclosure agreements with other players involved in the training.
Anyway, the first thing players like Paul and Curry did after leaving this training camp was to eat and drink, and they didn't even want to touch basketball for two weeks in a row, Paul was the best one among them, but every time he mentioned what he learned with Gong Feng in the summer, Paul showed a very constipated look.
After finishing the training in mid-September, Gong Feng also started his second trip with Zhang Linfei in a happy mood, and in the past few years, Gong Feng found for the first time that he is really a little inseparable from this temperament beauty who is slightly younger than himself.
Intellectual but not cold, enthusiastic but not flattering. This is the first time that Gong Feng has a new understanding of a beautiful woman who he thinks is very familiar. If he didn't have Zhou Xun in his heart, Gong Feng didn't know if he would propose to him now.
Looking at Gong Feng thoughtfully, but only showing a faint expression, of course Zhang Linfei knew what was between the two, but Zhang Linfei just smiled at this, did not explain anything, and did not spread out what to say to Gong Feng.
In the summer of this year, or after participating in the competition after being injured, Gong Feng's performance was too normal, or Gong Feng's normality was a little too much.
Everyone knew what Gong Feng was waiting for, but no one knew what Gong Feng was waiting for. Even after working beside Gong Feng for a period of time, when it was the time period of internship, Zhang Linfei did not find anything strange.
More than half of the year when Gong Feng signed a big contract, the deadline for some endorsement contracts on Gong Feng has come soon, and another point is that Gong Feng's performance on the field is beyond everyone's expectations, no one thinks that Gong Feng has not made the slightest progress in the past few years, but the fact that Gong Feng has shown shows that Gong Feng has indeed not made too obvious progress in the past few years.
Many people's speculation about this is the mutual suppression between Gong Feng and Jay, and the second is that Gong Feng's performance is to protect the Knicks' lower limit strength, in terms of the Knicks' strength, as long as the strength of the lower limit is protected, no matter how many difficulties or even mistakes in the implementation of tactics, Gong Feng always has the ability to move back to the court.
But these are not enough for Gong Feng, Mir just knows this, and the annual salary given to Gong Feng is to give the highest salary, but looking at Gong Feng's always thoughtful appearance, Zhang Linfei guessed that some things may have been in Gong Feng's plan, such as making himself the absolute core of the Knicks' third year.
"Let's be friends! Fei! Just when Zhang Linfei was thinking about something, Gong Feng said without any warning.
This is the first time that Gong Feng has officially given Zhang Linfei enough information, and Zhang Linfei, who has been waiting for this day for a long time, opened his small mouth in surprise, and looked at Gong Feng with wide eyes and disbelief, as if he was afraid that this was a beautiful dream.
"Being my girlfriend is a chore! I hope you don't complain about your decision at this time! Looking at Zhang Linfei's appearance, Gong Feng said lightly, but in a good mood, jokingly.
"What am I going to do this season, I want my Knicks to be a dynasty team, you know? The life of an NBA player is like this, and I may slow you down this year, and here I will start by saying ...... to you"
"Don't!" Covering her ears like a little girl, Zhang Linfei said loudly.
"I'll wait! I know everything about you! I pay attention to everything about you, and I will not be a burden to you! If you say anything, I also have my own career to be busy with, and when you can't find me by your side, you can't blame me! ”
Gong Feng looked at Zhang Linfei, who was holding his hands tightly like this, laughed, and didn't say anything more, just patted Zhang Linfei's palm.
After saying everything, Gong Feng still showed an unusually calm, quietly looking at the sea on the yacht, such calmness will become less and less in the future, Gong Feng likes such calm moments.
The summer of '05 came very quickly, and the past was very fast, especially when Gong Feng was ready for everything, ready for everything he has now, and soon the time came to the end of September, and the Knicks' summer training camp was about to begin. (To be continued.) )
