Chapter 052: Zeng Lingfeng's Basketball Team

On Thursday, July 11, 2002, early in the morning, Zeng Lingfeng and Ivanka left the Hanyu International Holiday Hotel in downtown Houston. Under the escort of bodyguards, they rushed to the new Houston Rockets station not far from the hotel.

The Rockets' new residence is called Pan American Film and Television Center, and is named after Pan American Film and Television. This brand new gymnasium was built by Zeng Lingfeng for $100 million.

With sufficient funds to provide the foundation, this new stadium, which is the best in the United States, only took nine months to complete the construction period, creating a miracle in the history of architecture.

After the completion of this stadium, it became the largest basketball stadium in the United States. The main stadium has a total of 23,998 seats. When used as a concert, the stadium has a capacity of up to 25,000. There are 3,200 club seats and luxurious suites in the stadium. There are more than 12,000 parking spaces within several streets near the stadium, including a Pan American parking lot with 3,600 parking spaces directly under the stadium.

When Zeng Lingfeng and the bright and unpredictable Ivanka appeared in the team's training venue, it caused a lot of sensation. Of course, this sensation was aimed at the beautiful Miss Ivanka. As for Zeng Lingfeng, the big boss of the players, he was gorgeously ignored by the players.

Zeng Lingfeng was very hurt and couldn't help but secretly blame himself for not bringing such a beautiful girl as Ivanka to this place full of perverts.

Looking at the players' performance, a black line rose on the forehead of the club's general manager Mr. Dawson, who accompanied Zeng Lingfeng, was so embarrassing that the boss actually saw this scene. How could this make the mature and persistent Mr. Dawson feel?

"Ahem" Dawson coughed a few times, which made the players turn their attention to him.

"Okay, Rudy, let the players have a break for a while. The big boss of our team is here to visit everyone," Dawson said to the team's head coach Rudy Tomjanovic.

Everyone, including the head coach, was puzzled. Dawson said that the team's big boss is here, where is it? They knew Li Xiyi. Subconsciously, they believed that the vice president of Hanyu Mimon Group, the president of the United States, was the Rockets' boss. And Zeng Lingfeng, they had never heard of it.

"Dawson, you said Mr. Li is here, where is he? Why didn't you see anyone?" asked head coach Rudy Tom Janovic.

"Oh, I'm talking about the big boss of our team, not Mr. Li. The big boss of our team is the young gentleman in front of you, Mr. Zeng Lingfeng from China." General Manager Dawson introduced to everyone.

Circles appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and they felt dizzy at their heads.

The Rockets' boss is not the extremely powerful Mr. Li? But the child who is not even full of hair in front of him? They would be very happy to say that the beautiful blonde lady beside him is the team's boss, but it seems that she is not reliable to be their boss, such a young man like Zeng Lingfeng.

"No need to doubt that Mr. Zeng is the boss of the team, and Mr. Li is Mr. Zeng's client." General Manager Dawson explained to everyone.

"What? The vice president of Hanyu Mimeng Group, the president of the United States District of Hanyu Mimeng Group is actually the client of this young man? So what is this little guy?" A large group of people who just came back to their senses showed signs of dementia again.

"Okay, Rudy, please introduce Mr. Zeng to the team's players." Dawson said to Tom Janovic.

"Okay, Mr. Dawson. Mr. Zeng, come and I will introduce you. This is Jason Kidd, the team's temporary main point guard; this is Allen Ezel Iverson, the team's main shooting guard..." Rudy Tomjanovic introduced Zeng Lingfeng one by one.

When he came to a giant, Rudy Tomjanovic smiled and said, "I don't need to introduce this person. You should know your Chinese fellow, Yao Ming from Shanghai."

Zeng Lingfeng nodded. Of course he knew Yao Ming. In fact, he knew everyone in the team, and even those role players were no exception.

Yao Ming is really too tall. Zeng Lingfeng's barefoot height is 1.82 meters tall. When he put on his sneakers, he reached 1.84 meters tall. However, when he stood in front of Yao Ming, Zeng Lingfeng found that he had only reached Yao Ming's chest position, which was a big gap from his shoulders. Sure enough, he deserved the title of "little giant", which is no different from the teenagers of the giants in fantasy novels.

Fortunately, Yao Ming and Olajuwon are particularly tall in the team. Others such as Kidd, Iverson, Prince, Ulster, etc. are not much taller than Zeng Lingfeng. Iverson is even only one centimeter taller than him. This gap is hard to see even the naked eye.

After Rudy Tomjanovic introduced all the team members, Zeng Lingfeng walked to the center of the venue and said, "Hello everyone, as the boss, I just came here to visit everyone today, which made me feel very sorry. However, this is also a limited number of objective conditions. I am still a student and I am still studying in China, so it is rare to have time to visit everyone. I hope everyone can forgive me."

Everyone was shocked. It seemed that their speculation was good, even more outrageous than their speculation. This young man was still in school? And he was still in China? What's going on?

Zeng Lingfeng continued: "Yesterday, I arrived in the United States, but because some private matters were to be dealt with, I couldn't come to visit everyone..." When Zeng Lingfeng said this, Ivanka's face, who was standing beside him, suddenly turned red. Yesterday, it was because of her arrival that Zeng Lingfeng was stopped from coming to the team. And the so-called private matters are really very private matters. Is there anything more private matters between men and women than this?

"This little villain is really unrestrained." Ivanka spat Zeng Lingfeng hard in his heart.

Zeng Lingfeng naturally didn't know what Ivanka was thinking and continued, "Today, I came here, first, to meet you and get to know each other; second, to fulfill my dream and meet my idol; third, to want to play a game with everyone."

After saying this, Zeng Lingfeng suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something, and patted his head and said, "By the way, I have forgotten something very important. Come on, I will introduce you to a beautiful woman, that is my girlfriend, the beautiful Miss Ivanka Trump."

Most players are not unfamiliar with Ivanka. As the daughter of many real estate kings in the United States, Ivanka is usually very low-key, but she is still a public figure. They have never seen Ivanka himself, and at least they have heard of Ivanka's name.

Ivanka is obviously more popular with these team members. Even if Zeng Lingfeng is the boss who pays their salary, his charm is far less than that of Ivanka, a beautiful woman.

Looking at Zeng Lingfeng gritting his teeth, Ivanka smiled happily. Zeng Lingfeng couldn't stop and wanted to swallow her into her stomach.

After a while, the team members remembered that their boss was still by their side, and the boss seemed to have said he wanted to play a game with everyone.

The game Zeng Lingfeng wants to play with these players is naturally playing basketball. He thinks his skills are pretty good. It is really interesting to have this opportunity to play with these NBA stars.

The Rockets now have a total of fourteen players, including Jason Kidd, Allen Iverson, Glenn Rice, Much Noros, and Raf Alstom. The forwards include Carlos Boozer, Teshaun Prince, Louis Scola, Morris Taylor, Kelvin Cato, Terrence Morris, Kenny Thomas, and the center positions include Olajuwon, Yao Ming, and Jason Collier.

It can be said that this is a brand new team. Only one Olajuwon has stayed behind last season. The rest of the old men are some role players and have very few opportunities to play.

This unique football match came very suddenly and was a mess, and there was basically no commendable cooperation.

Zeng Lingfeng led a group of rookies to fight against the NBA seniors led by Kidd.

On Zeng Lingfeng's side, Zeng Lingfeng personally served as the organizational guard, which is also his position in the school basketball team. There is no suitable rookie in the shooting guard position. As a result, Scola played a cameo appearance, Yao Ming was naturally the center, Boozer was the power forward, and Prince was the small forward, so he barely formed a team.

On the other hand, Kidd was the organizational defender, and Iverson became the shooting guard unscrupulously, center Olajuwon, power forward Kelvin Cato, and small forward Morris Taylor.

As for the others, they become audience members and substitutes.

Because Zeng Lingfeng is the boss and a student, he was taken care of. When he got the ball, basically no one went up to defend him. Of course, this was under the premise that he did not break into the three-second zone.

However, this caused Kidd and his team to suffer a lot. Zeng Lingfeng found that when he didn't enter the three-second zone, he repeatedly made three-pointers and cold arrows from the outside. With Zeng Lingfeng's three consecutive hands, they had no choice but to defend Zeng Lingfeng with all their strength.

As a result, Zeng Lingfeng's life was sad. Although his body was quite strong, he was completely unable to compare with these NBA players. Even Iverson was much stronger than him.

Of course, if Zeng Lingfeng used his skills, the situation would be different. However, if this is the case, the game would lose its meaning.

In this way, Zeng Lingfeng could only play the role of his own organizational defender conscientiously. Fortunately, his passing skills are not too bad, and his flexibility is very high. Most of the time, the balls in his hands can appear in the right position at the right time. Even a super organizational defender like Kidd has a shiny feeling.

This is completely a kind of spirituality and a feeling. Zeng Lingfeng is a real innate master after all. Even if he does not use his kung fu, his instinct is still there. He can estimate when his teammates can reach where they can reach where they are and where the opponent's players will be at at the same time. In this way, as long as Zeng Lingfeng passes the ball, he will basically not be stolen, and his teammates can also have a more comfortable shooting position.

However, his teammates are also completely rookies and have great shortcomings in all kinds of skills. Compared with star players like Olajuwon, Kidd, and Iverson, they are too young. Therefore, although they can still play well on the offensive end, on the defensive end, Ki let Iverson and the others ask for it. It can be said that Zeng Lingfeng and the others' defense is almost useless.

In this way, the offensive end cannot guarantee 100% success, while the defensive end is a complete colander, and the score of this game is naturally one-sided.

The game only lasted for two quarters, and only 20 minutes in total, but the score was frozen at 68:40. Zeng Lingfeng and his rookie teammates suffered a crushing defeat.

After playing for twenty minutes, Zeng Lingfeng's relationship with these players became very good. Before, the players respected him very much just because he was the boss. Now, after a game of play, their views on Zeng Lingfeng are different.

Head coach Rudy Tomjanovic said: "Boss, your talent is really good. If you develop in the NBA in the future, you will definitely become a player like Allen. In addition, your sense of passing the ball is really good. I think Jason feels more in this regard than me."

"Yes, boss, if you come to the NBA to develop, you will definitely become the top organizational guard in the league," Kidd said excitedly.

Zeng Lingfeng smiled and said nothing.

What a joke, let his dignified Hanyu Mimon Group boss play basketball? If other people know this, they may faint. Therefore, playing basketball can only be just a matter of having fun and having fun in their spare time.

Iverson said, "Boss, your speed is really too fast. I think I will not be able to catch up with you in a few years. However, you are not strong enough. If your body is stronger, you will be a very good shooting guard, even better than me."

Everyone loves to hear good things, let alone NBA super big names like Iverson. Zeng Lingfeng was praised by Kidd and others and became a little fluttering.

Of course, this is also his knowledge that what they said is not entirely flattering because he is the boss. People like Kidd and Iverson are very proud. If you don’t have any ability and have enough talent, they will not say such words. Zeng Lingfeng also knows his ability as a congenital master, but he will not take these words seriously. At least, he cannot become a professional player. This is not only Zeng Lingfeng understands, but these players are also very clear. They just say these words, and no one takes them seriously.
