No one on the outside world can guess what the Lakers are thinking, and they certainly don't know that Lakers management has set the tone for the new season.

In the new season, Wang Feng will try the position of point guard!

That's right, in his first season with the Lakers, Wang Feng played the small forward position.

Last season, due to the arrival of Butler, coupled with the improvement of Wang Feng's rebounding and interior defense ability, he moved from the small forward position to the power forward position, and the effect was excellent.

And in the third season, Wang Feng is actually going to change positions again, and this time he is ready to try the point guard position.

When head coach Wharton heard Wang Feng's words, he almost thought he had heard it wrong.

Wang Feng: What kind of plane is this doing? With a lot of ball in his possession and often being caught on the court, he only averages about 3 assists per game, and wants to play as a point guard? Isn't that a joke?

However, after Wang Feng's arguments and actual performance to prove it, he successfully persuaded Wharton and the Lakers coaching staff.

First of all, although there were Rondo and Rose last season, the Lakers' point guard position is still a short board in the strict sense.

Second, the Lakers didn't have a good point guard target in the summer.

The most important thing is that whether it is in the test of the team's training or Wang Feng's performance on the court in the Men's Basketball World Cup, it fully proves Wang Feng's ability in passing and assisting.

Wharton only felt incredulous and shocked, when did Wang Feng's brilliant and somewhat fancy passing come into practice?

But no matter how he practiced it, at least as a professional coach, Wharton can see that with Wang Feng's current passing ability, it is more than enough to serve as a point guard!

And if Wang Feng can serve as the team's starting point guard, then many of the problems the team is currently facing can be solved, such as Kuzma can finally play as the starting power forward.

Once the Lakers' starting lineup becomes Wang Feng, Butler, Ingram, Kuzma and Lopez, both offensive and defensive ends will be greatly improved compared with last season, and the team's average height and mobility will also be improved!

Therefore, Wharton quickly agreed with Wang Feng's idea of switching to point guard for the new season.

It is not surprising that Wang Feng, who is 2.01 meters tall, plays point guard, because he is not the tallest point guard in the league today, and the Philadelphia 76ers also have a 2.08 meter big point guard Ben. Simmons is here.

It's just that the Lakers have not yet announced this news, and the outside world has no way of knowing, only from the current Lakers only one official point guard Seth. Curry came to guess.

……

The time soon came to the end of September, and the players of the major teams also returned to the team one after another.

The Lakers also held several public practice sessions, inviting local Los Angeles media to participate in filming and interviews.

In the process, reporters in Los Angeles photographed Wang Feng as a point guard on the court for the first time.

Many reporters were stunned by this scene.

"Is Wang Feng going to play point guard in the new season?"

Not every reporter will be dedicated enough to pay attention to every game of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Men's Basketball World Cup, and even if they do, the performance on the international stage cannot be fully applied to the NBA league, so although Wang Feng sent a lot of accurate and just right second passes in the Men's Basketball World Cup, most of the media's understanding of Wang Feng is still that there is no solution at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the passing ability is very average.

Wang Feng, who appeared in front of everyone for the new time, subverted their previous cognition, and Wang Feng also had the idea of reassuring Lakers fans, so he worked very hard in the process of passing, and the bronze fancy passer badge was not wasted at all, and the second passes of various fancy actions were endless, which looked pleasing to the eye, and even had a bit of Magic Johnson's flavor in it.

A reporter interviewed Lakers general manager Johnson himself for this purpose.

"Wang Feng's talent and spirituality in passing really scared me, you must know that he has never shown talent in these aspects before, most people are familiar with Wang Feng is also his offense and defense, this subversive image of the general change, enough to prove that Wang Feng is talented in basketball!"

"The team's coaching staff has discussed that Wang Feng will be the team's starting point guard in the new season, and I believe that with his current passing ability, he will definitely be able to play this position, and Wang Feng's vacated power forward position can also be used by Kuzma, and the two most potential players in the team can also get better opportunities to play."

At this point, the whole league knew the news.

Wang Feng wants to play point guard in the new season?

When most people hear the news, the first thing that comes to mind is.

Passing assists have always been Wang Feng's weakness, how can he suddenly be promoted to the level of a point guard?

The Lakers' public training sessions are only seen by a handful of local media in Los Angeles, most of the league's media have not seen it with their own eyes, and even if they do, it is just a practice game and does not represent anything.

"It can be seen that two regular season MVPs, a championship ring, and the gold medal in the men's basketball World Cup have completely made Wang Feng completely float, and he actually took the initiative to give up his advantages and play any point guard instead, even if it is a dual-purpose guard, it is obviously not suitable for Wang Feng."

"The Lakers, who can't find a suitable point guard, have been sick and rushed to the hospital, and they actually want Wang Feng to play a guest point guard, it is foreseeable that the Lakers' record in the new season will definitely fluctuate, after all, the team's tactical system has not been fixed."

The league is generally not optimistic about Wang Feng as a point guard, and only a few media outlets that have followed Wang Feng's game in the Men's Basketball World Cup have different opinions.

The First Cause of All Worlds

Due to various factors, the Lakers are only fourth on the odds to win the championship before the start of the new season, behind the Nets, Clippers, and Warriors.
