Chapter 16 The daily life of a training madman, flying to Los Angeles!
Szebiak's Bentley Mulsanne quickly drove into the private parking space of the luxury villa.
The beautiful wife Shannon Ward happily ran out to greet her with her two adorable little daughters.
"Husband, Lin, you are finally back. The filet mignon has just been fried. Hurry to the restaurant and eat it while it's hot!"
Although she has given birth to two children for Szebiak, Shannon Ward still maintains a good figure.
As the former cheerleader of the University of Miami team, Xiang Nong, who is 1.78 meters tall and beautiful, fell in love at first sight with Szebiak. The love between the two can be said to be very beautiful.
Now that Szebiak has made a name for himself in the NBA, Shannon has settled down to become a housewife.
Her cooking skills are getting better and better, because Lin Fei often comes as a guest, and she even learned to cook a lot of Chinese dishes.
"Xiang Nong, I can already smell the aroma of steak, I really envy Wally for having such a beautiful and good cooking wife like you!"
"Lin, you are much more handsome than Wally. You will find a wife who is a hundred times better than me in the future. She may even be a beautiful star!"
Lin Fei shook his head with a quick smile and said, "A female star is not a good choice, a mediocre life is what life should be like!"
"Uncle Lin, hurry up and teach us to recite Tang poetry!"
Szebiak's two daughters, one aged 4 and the other 2, are innocent and romantic, with big amber eyes like porcelain dolls.
Lin Fei knelt down and gently patted the heads of the two little guys. Can you recite the Tang poems taught last time? Recite it for uncle.
Immediately afterwards, the two little guys spoke in unison but in extremely non-standard Chinese dialect, in the childish voice:
"Uh, uh, singing to the sky, the white hair floating in the green water, the anthurium touching the clear waves..."
Lin Fei finished two 450-gram large filet mignons at Szebiak's house, ate half a portion of pasta, and drank a glass of fresh milk. He had made up for the consumption of tonight's game and training.
Although Szebiak clamored to have a few glasses of red wine with Lin Fei to celebrate that Lin Fei saved the team tonight and allowed the Timberwolves to have a game to play the day after tomorrow.
But Lin Fei still insisted not to drink, which made Sizebiak feel embarrassed to drink.
Since the first day he joined the NBA, Lin Fei has strictly followed the best diet for an athlete in his food intake, and does not drink alcohol, smoke, or carbonated drinks.
At the same time, it also put an end to every invitation from teammates to go to nightclubs.
Xiang Nong couldn't help but admire: "Lin, you are the person with the strongest willpower I have ever seen. Your outburst tonight is definitely not an accident. I believe you will play better in the game the day after tomorrow!"
Lin Fei thanked the Szebiak family for their warm hospitality.
So he walked along the river alone, blowing the refreshing river breeze in the early morning, and soon returned to his small villa.
Going up to the large bedroom on the second floor of the villa, Lin Fei can directly overlook the beautiful scenery of the Mississippi River from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the brightly lit cruise ships are still drifting on the river.
The fourth largest river in the world has its unique exotic scenery.
Although it was already early in the morning, Lin Fei did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he plunged into the gym, planning to do strength training for half an hour before taking a shower and going to bed.
4 sets of barbell squats, 30 reps each,
4 sets of barbell bench press, 30 reps each,
4 sets of planks, 120 seconds each,
Incline press 4 sets, 30 reps each.
4 groups of lying on the back and bending the knees, 25 in each group,
……
[Ding, congratulations to the host for half an hour of strength training, free attribute points +1]
[The system has automatically used the 10x strength training card for the host, and the strength training effect will be increased tenfold]
Lin Fei could also feel that the effect of this half-hour of strength training was surprisingly good, but after all, it was only half an hour, and even if there was a 10-fold improvement, it would be minimal.
Lin Fei's bench press strength has been stuck at 73 kg for more than half a year. This is a hurdle, but I believe he will pass it soon.
At the same time, as his strength increases, Lin Fei should also gain weight appropriately without increasing his fat percentage.
His current height has increased to about 1.94, but his weight is still 85 kilograms, which is indeed too thin among NBA defenders.
There is no light in the confrontation.
In G5 of the Western Conference Finals, Lin Fei was a surprise player and caught the Lakers by surprise. During his sharp running,
Whether it is Fisher or Kobe of the Lakers, they both choose to chase instead of using the advantage of physical confrontation to interfere with Lin Fei's movement.
But in the next Western Conference Finals G6, the Lakers' perimeter defense will inevitably become tougher and more brutal.
In the tough physical confrontation, not only is it difficult for Lin Fei to run out of a good position, but he may even be at risk of injury.
Therefore, improvement in strength is imperative.
Curry's ability to change his weak defensive attributes in 2022, integrate offense and defense, and lead the team to win the championship will play a vital role in gaining weight and muscle during the offseason.
Originally, Lin Fei relied on outside shooting, and he was always worried that the weight gain would affect the softness of his hand.
But now with the help of the system, Lin Fei's three-point shooting has reached 99 points, and he no longer has to worry about the impact of increased strength on the touch.
Celestial dynasty, imperial capital.
Qingbei University cafeteria.
At six o'clock in the evening, there was an endless stream of male and female college students and some teachers eating in the school cafeteria.
The 65-inch plasma TV hanging high on the center wall of the cafeteria could be said to be quite luxurious at this stage in 2004, which shows that Qingbei University has strong financial resources.
On the TV screen, playing at this time,
It is the G5 game of the Western Conference Finals of the Timberwolves VS Lakers that was replayed for the second time in five sets.
When Lin Fei hit the ultra-long three-pointer from 12 meters away at the last moment, the original sound of the live broadcast directed by Zhang was high-pitched and powerful, full of passion:
"It's in, it's in, Lin Fei has entered again, my God, this is the seventh one..."
Even if it wasn't a live broadcast, the entire cafeteria erupted in cheers and screams.
"Lin Fei is too fucking handsome, the class leader of our freshman class, the CUBA scoring leader, the male god of our entire girls' dormitory!"
"This is the NBA's Western Conference Finals. It's a whole 7 levels higher than CUBA. Lin Fei's seven three-pointers are so shocking!"
"Look at how stars like the Wolf King and Madman are starting to circle around Lin Fei. Lin Fei's eight minutes of good goals will definitely last a lifetime!"
"No, when Hu Weidong scored a few three-pointers against Biao Kobe in the NBA Summer League, he was criticized by Chinese fans for several years after his return. Lin Fei is a serious NBA Western Conference finals player!"
"I've long seen that Lin Fei is not a simple guy. Even Qingbei can't keep his NBA dream!"
"I envy Senior Qin Dongmei for being able to be Lin Fei's manager. I also really want to study in the United States after graduation and go to watch Lin Fei's games in person!"
"Lin Fei, my husband, you all, stop fighting!"
……
At six o'clock in the morning, Lin Fei got up on time to the sound of the alarm clock. After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he started a new day of training.
The ten-kilometer morning run along the riverside park is Lin Fei's daily choice when he is not traveling away from home.
Whenever he plays away games, Lin Fei will choose some famous local attractions for his morning run.
A lap around Madison Square Garden is exactly one kilometer, and the outer track in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, is 5.6 kilometers.
Lin Fei was already very familiar with these...
At this time, Lin Fei was walking briskly. Looking from the riverside, he saw dock workers on the Mississippi River loading and unloading goods.
The MP3 music playing in the headphones is "Broader Sea and Sky" by the band Beyond:
"How many times, with cold eyes and ridicule, never give up the ideal in my heart!"
People who work hard for their lives and dreams, no matter how high or low, are equally worthy of respect.
After the morning run, Lin Fei practiced a 10-minute round-trip sprint on the half of the basketball court in the backyard of his villa.
Lin Fei's 11.2-meter speed is 3.32 seconds, and the three-quarter sprint is seconds.
This result is actually very good among domestic guards, but compared with NBA guards, there is still a big gap.
Not to mention speed geniuses such as Iverson and Rose, they are even worse than Curry in his rookie period.
Now that he has a 10x speed training card, Lin Fei believes that his -meter and three-quarter sprint speeds will soon be able to break the limit.
Breakfast is a 250-gram piece of boiled chicken breast, one liter of pure milk, 6 egg whites and two bananas.
There are 800 three-point shooting drills in the morning, an hour of strength training and 6000 jump rope endurance training...
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing 800 three-point shots, free attribute points +6]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing one hour of strength training, free attribute points +2]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing 6000 rope skipping times, free attribute points +2]
[Remind the host, the current system level is at LV1, and the free attribute can be increased by up to 15 points every day through training]
Lin Fei frowned slightly and wiped the sweat from his face. It seemed that the fastest way to obtain free attribute points was to play more games and win more games.
Seeing that nearly 80 points of free attributes had been accumulated on the personal attribute panel, Lin Fei nodded with satisfaction and was not in a hurry to add the free throw attribute that he was most worried about before.
Instead, he plans to wait until the G6 game of the Western Conference Finals starts tomorrow before rationally allocating the accumulated free attribute points.
In fact, even if the free throw attribute is 0, it may not necessarily be a bad thing. After all, he is a defender. The base number of free throws in official games is very small, and the temporary hit rate difference is of little reference significance.
At least in tomorrow's Western Conference Finals G6, "Zen Master" will never be stupid enough to take the risk of killing himself.
2 p.m.
Lin Fei and Szebiak came to the Target Center Arena together to gather with their Timberwolves teammates.
Prepare to go to Sao Paulo International Airport, 20 kilometers away, and take the team's special plane to Los Angeles.
The Timberwolves' team plane is a Broadcast 767 wide-body airliner, and owner Glenn Taylor's annual charter cost is as high as $340 million.
Although it is not luxurious compared with the special planes of other wealthy NBA teams, it is still quite comfortable.
There are exclusive spacious seats printed with player numbers, massage chairs, cafes and buffets on the special plane.
Although Minneapolis is the western team of the NBA, it is located in the northeast of the United States in the Great Lakes region, and is close to eastern cities such as Chicago and Milwaukee.
It is more than 3000 kilometers away from Los Angeles on the west coast, and the flight time is about 5 hours, and the plane has to cross half of the United States.
Lin Fei sat in his seat by the window, looking at the shrinking river and houses outside the window, sighing at the luxury of the NBA plane.
In his previous life, he was lucky enough to be in the first-class cabin of a Minghang airliner, but it was still incomparable to the luxury of an NBA plane.
"I hope this trip to Los Angeles goes well, and let us bring the suspense of the Western Conference Finals back to Minnesota!"
Trenton Hassel brought out two cups of warm latte from the coffee shop, handed one to Lin Fei, and sighed:
"Lin, we are so lucky to be in the NBA. We have such a luxurious plane to play away games!"
"A female student in my class in high school now plays in the WNBA women's basketball league. Do you know how much his annual salary is? It's only $7!"
"You heard that right, and they are traveling with the team to play away games. They have to fly economy class on commercial airliners together. If they want to upgrade, they have to pay out of their own pockets!"
Before Lin Fei could speak, the Wolf King Garnett on the side spoke domineeringly and arrogantly:
"Does anyone still watch women's basketball games these days? A league without a market is itself a joke!"
