The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 24 [Return before the war]

The news of Ariel and Ye Feng's love suppressed rumors of homosexuality. The daughter of the owner of the Clippers and a player of the Lakers, this combination is very imaginative, and it is talked about by young men and women.

A reporter interviewed Ye Feng's friends, who were USC students and who often went to Ye Feng's house to hold parties.When evaluating Ye Feng, everyone unanimously said that the two are a strong man and a hot sister, and they couldn't be more suitable.

In addition to scandals, Ye Feng's outstanding performance in the first game of NBDL also attracted a lot of attention.

Two days later, Ye Feng played his second game for the Defenders against the Colorado 14ers.Ye Feng played a total of 41 minutes and scored an astonishing 28 points, 27 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals, leading the team to a 101-98 victory. 27 rebounds tied the NBDL single-game rebounding record, but the biggest highlight of this game was that he scored all his points by shooting. He took 21 shots and hit 8 goals. The other [-] points were free throws.

In the third game against the Renault Bighorn Sheep, Ye Feng still performed well.He scored 16 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks in a 111-83 victory over his opponent.Due to too many leads, Ye Feng only played for 34 minutes.After three games, he has become more and more confident on the offensive end.

Divac's training plan really stimulated Ye Feng's desire to attack, and the idea of ​​"holding the thigh" also began to change. He began to feel that relying on others is worse than relying on himself. Ability to not shoot is selfless, ability to not attack is a softie, and now he believes that he can score.

It may be a coincidence to play well in one game, and it is strength to play well in three consecutive games.After asking Divac and Laughlin for their opinions, the Lakers uniform team decided to recall Ye Feng early to participate in the away game against the Celtics two days later.Tomorrow the Lakers will challenge the Jazz away in Salt Lake City, and then play the Celtics back to back.

"Back to back" means that the team played away games for two consecutive days, and in different cities!This competition system is a great test of the team's physical fitness and spirit!

For the Lakers, this is a devil's schedule for consecutive encounters with strong teams.Salt Lake City is notoriously home to the devil, and it is not easy to get out of it.

The Celtics are tougher to play.This summer, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen formed the Big Three that can change the league structure. Although the team has just been formed and the depth of the bench is limited, the Celtics are still regarded as the most important team for this season. favorites to win the championship.After the start of the new season, their defense has left a deep impression on people. At present, they have won a wave of 7 consecutive victories, and their momentum is winning.Experts generally believe that it is difficult for the Lakers to take away a victory in Boston.The Lakers just lost 85 to 92 to the San Antonio Spurs. Experts predict that the Lakers may suffer a wave of three-game losing streak, and the Western Conference rankings will fall out of the top four.

The competition in the Western Conference is very fierce this year. The Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks, Hornets, Rockets, Jazz, Suns and other teams all have no more than two wins.The Lakers are currently ranked second in the Western Conference. Since leaving O'Neal, they haven't been in the top three for so long in several seasons.

In addition to the efforts of Kobe and Odom, the good performance of the Lakers also comes from Bynum's progress.This season, his rebounding and scoring have increased, and he is currently averaging 13 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, becoming the team's third firepower.But the biggest problem for the Lakers is also in the interior. Their substitutes and main players are too far apart.

Kwame Brown has been out of shape.In a previous game where the Lakers lost to the Pistons, Brown made a big joke.Kobe was double-teamed, Kwame Brown was unguarded at the basket, so Kobe passed him the ball, Brown missed it, and the ball went out of bounds.

During the timeout, the players went back to the bench, and Kwame Brown came over to Kobe and said, "I'm unguarded."

Bryant said, "Yeah, I know, you're going to be available again, Kwame, because Rasheed is totally ignoring you."

Brown felt it didn't matter if he was ignored. He said: "If I am no longer guarded, don't pass the ball to me."

Kobe stood there dumbfounded. "What?"

Brown repeated: "Don't pass the ball to me."

"Why didn't it pass it to you?"

"I was nervous, if I got the ball, they would foul me and I wouldn't score," Brown said.

Kobe nearly went mad.Therefore, the Lakers seem to have three centers, but in fact only Bynum can rely on them.

Odom is also qualified as a power forward. Although Turiaf is very hardworking, he is of average height and wingspan, lacks offensive means, and is prone to fouls on the defensive end, so he can't play a big role.

Not to mention Brian Cook.After playing the Spurs, Cook has been placed on the injured list and will not participate in the game against the Jazz.He wasn't injured, it was just so bad, so bad that the coaching staff couldn't bear it.This season, he averaged 12 minutes per game, only scored 2.3 points and 1.7 rebounds, shot 19% from the field and 20% from three-pointers.It's hard to imagine that this is the report card handed over by inside players.

Kupchak also regretted renewing his contract with Cook, and quickly put him on the injured list, and announced that Cook injured his toe during training and would miss the game for a long time.This is just to make excuses for Cook's poor performance, in order to exchange him for a useful person in the mid-term trade.

In the eyes of the coaching staff, no matter how inexperienced Ye Feng is, he will be better than Cook.

Ye Feng was extremely excited to be recalled at this time.The Celtics are one of the earliest teams in the NBA, and their history is a history of winning championships and a history of stars. The 16 championships rank first among all NBA teams, and the 8 consecutive championships are unprecedented, and there will be no comers after the ancients, and more than 20 retired numbers almost make the Celtics have no available numbers.In the past few years, the Celtics only relied on Pierce to support them, staying away from the playoffs.Now they're finally reemerging through a trade.

In his heart, this game is like a preview of the finals. The Celtics in the previous life reached the finals and defeated the Lakers to win the championship.The only troublesome thing is that he has to take his own flight to Boston to join the team, and he can only experience it when he comes back from the Lakers' special plane.

On the plane, Ye Feng was sitting by the window, listening to relaxing blues music, closing his eyes and recuperating, while imagining how much playing time he could get in the competition.He has been able to shoot from the high post and can score from both corners. The coaching staff must be aware of his progress, otherwise he would not be allowed to fly to Boston to play this game. If he still only plays for a few minutes, it will take a lot of trouble. The coaching staff is simply sick.

Ye Feng feels that he has the best chance of facing Garnett, and it is also possible to defend Pierce.

Garnett, nicknamed "Wolf King", has been with the Timberwolves since entering the league and is a symbol of the Timberwolves. In 12 years, Garnett has averaged 20+10+5 per game for the sixth consecutive season, becoming the first player in NBA history to average 6+20+10 per game for 5 consecutive seasons, and he is the NBA's three-time rebounding champion , occupying the top spot in the player efficiency list for four consecutive years.He proved his worth in the Timberwolves, and also proved his wolf-like loyalty.He has the highest honors such as the most valuable player in the regular season and the gold medal in the Olympic men's basketball team.He has extremely versatile skills on the court, his passing is even better than point guards, and his defense is extremely deterrent. He is one of the greatest power forwards in history.

But Garnett couldn't bring the Timberwolves a championship. The best helpers the team manager found for him were the old Sprewell and Cassell.He is 31 years old. He finally moved to the Celtics for the championship. Now, he is still one of the best players in the league.

Pierce is also a tragic figure who has struggled alone for a long time. The best helper turned out to be Walker, a power forward who prefers to shoot three-pointers.He's been underrated his entire career, and he's a player who's never been voted an All-Star by fans but has been an All-Star multiple times.He's not as muscular as Howard, and he's not as hot as King LeBron James.He doesn't wear outlandish clothes and cool hair all day like scoring machine Iverson.He also doesn't live in a city full of movie stars and has a high exposure rate like Kobe.However, he has all-round skills, proficient breakthroughs, precise mid-to-long-range shots, back-up and face-up offenses are very proficient, and he is omnipotent.Pierce's body is also top-notch, as evidenced by an off-court incident.When Pierce first debuted, he was stabbed eleven times by members of the gang, one of which was 8 centimeters deep, piercing his lungs and only a few centimeters away from his heart.Pierce resumed training in only 40 days. How can this be human?
After several hours of flying, Ye Feng arrived in Boston, Massachusetts at noon and stayed at the hotel reserved by the team.His teammates came overnight after playing the Jazz. He had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he went out for a stroll.

Boston is a city full of classic atmosphere.The urban area full of high-rise buildings is scattered with many long-standing historical buildings, the earliest fire station in North America, the oldest church, the earliest professional baseball field, the earliest court, the earliest post office, the oldest and most active fishing port.Also, here is also the birthplace of basketball, Boston is really the most perfect combination of ancient and modern.

After shopping around for a while, Ye Feng took a car to the Quincy Market, a place where all kinds of snacks gather, and also a tourist attraction full of people.The market is divided into north and south, both of which are a row of bars, shops, and restaurants. On both sides of the long and narrow corridor in the middle are all kinds of desserts and delicacies. Almost all kinds of delicacies from various countries can be found here. I spent a quiet and pleasant afternoon, ready to face the test.

What about playing against Garnett and Pierce?Ye Feng knew that he might be blown up, but if he could defend against these two superstars, even if he only defended a few times, he would be remembered!
