Chapter 4 Parting at the Airport

After Yi Feng informed his teammates of his idea of going to the draft, the training became even harder. His teammates were also infected by him, and he trained harder on weekdays, especially Chen Gang, who often practiced by himself.

The hard work finally paid off, the strength of everyone improved steadily, and the game became easier and easier. It is often in the first half that the suspense of the game is killed, and in the second half, all the substitutes are used. The statistics of the main players have declined seriously, but Yi Feng can still barely maintain the average triple-double data per game!

Averaged 23.1 points, 10.2 assists and 10.1 rebounds per game!

Although he has less playing time, Yi Feng has played harder, and with his strength, although it is shocking to achieve such data, it is still understandable.

However, the good times did not last long, and Yi Feng took a plane to the United States in late May in order to win a good draft rank. Tsinghua lacks Yi Feng, the core of the team, which is equivalent to abolishing half of the martial arts. Fortunately, under the hard training, everyone's strength has been improved, and they have won the championship with great difficulty.

Chen Gang averaged 22.1 points, 13 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.1 steals per game for his outstanding performance on the inside, and won the MVP. After Yi Feng was absent, almost one person supported the team's offensive and defensive ends. His outstanding performance has also attracted the attention of many teams in the CBA; Although he has not yet decided where to play, it is certain that he will become a professional player.

Tsinghua University has also become the first university to win the national championship for more than two consecutive years after Huaqiao University. This makes the comprehensive strength of Tsinghua University, a century-old university, go further, surpassing Zhejiang University, Renmin University, Fudan and other super famous universities in the newly released university rankings, and beating the "sworn enemy of the same city" Peking University, reaching the top in one fell swoop!

But none of this has much to do with Yi Feng, he is already in the United States at the moment.

Lei Ming used his connections to make all preparations for Yi Feng to go to the United States to participate in the draft. Submit an application for the NBA draft, apply for a suspension from Tsinghua University, use his connections to help Yi Feng go through the formalities of going abroad, etc. In fact, it is not difficult to obtain draft qualifications, but the main difficulty is what makes the team select themselves.

Then the NBA sent an invitation to Yi Feng to participate in the draft joint training camp in Chicago from May 11 to 15, 2015.

After Yi Feng received this invitation, the excitement in his heart was incomparable. Chen Gang and Wu Liang's teammates were so excited after learning the news that he was going to participate in the draft, and how could he not be excited when he was going to participate in the draft?

Although he has extraordinary self-confidence, he is confident that he can be selected by the NBA. But like everyone who loves basketball, the NBA has an extraordinary place in his heart.

He didn't sleep all night that night, and the next day he still played the game vigorously. First, his excitement has remained until now, and secondly, there are not many opportunities to stay in Tsinghua to play, so he naturally has to cherish it.

May 9, 2015, Beijing Capital International Airport, 4:30 p.m.

Lei Ming parked the car, snatched the suitcase in Yi Feng's hand, and said to Yi Feng and Tang Ya: "You guys hurry up now, the plane will take off later." Oh, by the way, Xiao Yi, I'll introduce you to some of the awesome guy I told you about later, and you're going to fly to Chicago with him today. ”

Lei Ming mentioned it to Yi Feng before, and specially found an elite member of Yao Ming's "Yao Team" and asked him to take Yi Feng to the United States. Because Yi Feng has no experience in going abroad at all, he actually knows nothing about the draft.

But the person Lei Ming found is different, he can be said to be an all-round talent who is also an agent, trainer, physical trainer, translator, etc., and he was also the backbone and backbone of the "Yao team" at the beginning. It's just that after Yao Ming retired, he didn't stay in the "Yao team" anymore.

"Is he here now?"

That person was so powerful by the coach that Yi Feng couldn't wait to get to know him.

"I'll be there soon, he's always been punctual and won't miss the plane." After Lei Ming finished speaking, he walked in front with his suitcase, leaving time for the two young people to get along.

Although Tang Ya has a strong personality, she is a woman after all, and she will always be a little sentimental about parting. She held Yi Feng's hand and was reluctant to let go, from meeting today until now.

"Xiaofeng, you went to the United States, you can't like those open American chicks!"

Tang Ya has always maintained her strong and domineering.

Yi Feng smiled: "Don't worry, I'm going to play in the United States, how can I have so much time to meet any American girl." I'm afraid that I've been lonely and nameless, and people don't want to talk to me. ”

"How come, my little wind is so cute, they don't care about you and it's their loss!" Tang Ya was very proud.

Yi Feng joked: "Then do you want them to take care of me or not?" ”

Tang Ya suddenly felt very entangled. If there is no American girl who likes Yi Feng, it means that her lover, who she regards as a treasure, is actually worthless in the eyes of American girls; If a lot of American girls want to get to Yi Feng's side, she is afraid that Yi Feng will not be able to stand the temptation, so she will accidentally do something sorry for herself......

Yi Feng looked depressed when he saw her, and gradually became a little miserable, and he was suddenly frightened. Is this still the confident and domineering queen? When did it become such a little daughter posture?

"Okay, don't tease you, I'm going to the United States this time, not to pick up girls, I must put my mind on basketball. Maybe in addition to eating and sleeping, it's training and playing, I'm afraid I don't have time to contact you more, and I will have the energy to play with those American girls. Even if you have energy, you don't have time, right? ”

"That's pretty much it!"

Tang Ya got Yi Feng's assurance, and immediately became cheerful, and the whole person became radiant.

……

"Come, Xiao Yi, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Zhou Muzhou, the powerful person I mentioned to you before." Lei Ming introduced Yi Feng to the middle-aged man standing in front of him.

Yi Feng looked closely, he was in his early forties, about 1.8 meters tall, with glasses, and he looked like a shrewd person. This is the awesome all-rounder that the coach said? I don't know why, after Yi Feng saw him for the first time, he felt that he was definitely not a simple person.

"Hello Mr. Zhou, I'm Yi Feng, a player under Coach Lei, and I used to play in Tsinghua University."

Yi Feng didn't wait for Lei Ming to introduce himself, and took the initiative to introduce himself to the middle-aged Zhou Mu.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Mu." Zhou Mu stretched out his right hand, and Yi Feng immediately stretched out his right hand when he saw this, and the hands of the two were held together, and a thought arose in his heart at the same time.

Yi Feng felt that Zhou Mu's palms were a little dry and thin, but warm and powerful; But Zhou Mu felt that his hand was completely wrapped by Yi Feng's hand, such a big hand!

As we all know, basketball is played by hand, and if you have a big hand, then you have an innate advantage. Like Jordan, the god of basketball, like the "center point guard" Rondo, and the Spurs' young Finals MVP Leonard, they all have a pair of "giant palms" that surpass ordinary basketball players. They can easily catch the ball with one hand, and often use this giant hand to fake and trick defenders.

Yi Feng also has such an innate talent! Zhou Mu is more confident about this trip to the United States.

He said bluntly: "I can say that I have been dormant all these years, waiting for an opportunity to re-emerge. Until one day Lei Ming found me and showed me some of your information and materials, and then I was moved. I can tell you bluntly that your talent is rare among Chinese people, and it is also a guarantee that I can return to the top of my career. ”

"I will supervise you very harshly hereafter, and I will never give you a chance to fall; Of course, if you think that my presence is preventing you from enjoying your life and can no longer tolerate my interference in your life, then I will choose to leave. ”

Yi Feng didn't expect Zhou Mu to get straight to the point as soon as they met, and he actually planned to manage his life in all aspects from now on. Lei Ming explained to Yi Feng softly: "He had worked extremely hard for Yao Ming's commercial success, but he himself felt that he was not successful enough. Later, Yao Ming was ruined by injury, and he also retired gloomily. Although he has been in retirement all these years, he still has ambitions and is waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback. He supervises you, surely for your own good. ”

Yi Feng nodded and said: "I have heard that many talented players in the NBA, and even some superstars, are ruined by lack of self-discipline. Once they became famous, the temptations of money, beauty and so on came together, the mentality was not put in place, coupled with the lack of supervision and discipline, so it was easy to fall, the competitive state declined greatly, and as soon as the huge contract expired, they were immediately swept away. ”

"But I'm still young, I'm still nothing, so what right do I have to enjoy life? I know that one day I will definitely be successful, but I also want to have someone around me who can always be calm and calm to remind me and supervise me. ”

Then he stretched out his right hand againβ€”

"Yes, this momentum, this kind of confidence, very good! Happy working together! ”

"Happy working together!"

The hands of the two men clasped again.

However, they didn't know that this time, the handshake was actually photographed by a reporter......

Time passed quickly, Yi Feng and Tang Ya still had a lot of unfinished words, but it was time to separate.

"Attention travelers to Chicago: boarding is now open for your xx flight. Please bring your belongings, present your boarding pass, and board the aircraft from Gate XX. Have a great trip. Thank you! ”

"Attention travelers to Chicago: boarding is now open for your xx flight. Please bring your belongings, present your boarding pass, and board the aircraft from Gate XX. Have a great trip. Thank you! ”

……

The airport's announcements sounded to remind passengers to board on time.

Yi Feng took his luggage from the coach's hand, followed Zhou Mu and walked towards the boarding gate with two steps and three turns.

Lei Ming didn't say that Yi Feng must be chosen, and he must not let the Yankees underestimate him, but just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just do your best", although there are only a few words, Yi Feng feels that there is a lot of anticipation in it.

And Yi Feng is confident that he will not live up to the coach's expectations of him.

Tang Ya didn't say anything in the end, perhaps because she was too depressed. She just had red eyes, watching Yi Feng keep walking forward, and then kept looking back at her.

Affectionate parting since ancient times. In life, you can't escape the word "love", whether it is family, friendship, or love. People will be happy for reunion and reunion, but they will also be sad for parting.

It's human nature.
