Chapter 150: The Charming Young Woman
The Warriors' opponent in the Finals last season, the Cleveland Cavaliers, is naturally paying special attention to the Warriors. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the Warriors' game with the Lakers is related to whether the Warriors can set a new record, and the Cavaliers, who regard the Warriors as the biggest opponent this season, are even more focused.
It can be said that the loss of the Warriors in this game may provide the Cavaliers with a new possibility for the tactical Warriors.
Of course, that's the manager's job, and perhaps that's what team boss LeBron James should be concerned about. The other Cavaliers players focused on Yi Feng.
They were all amazed by Yi Feng's mortal scoring performance, and even quietly compared Yi Feng to their boss James in their hearts.
James' career single-game scoring record is 61 points (against the Bobcats on March 4, 2014), which is not as high as a rookie like Yi Feng!
This comparison is problematic, their boss can't compare to a rookie!
They were shocked in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it. Because they have to take care of their boss's face.
Although the Cavaliers players did not raise this issue in person for the sake of the boss's face, some unscrupulous media did not care about this.
A reporter interviewed James and asked him what he thought of Yi Feng's 62 points against the Warriors.
James's answer is naturally watertight, after all, he is also a two-time champion veteran, and he is extremely tactful and has a lot of experience in dealing with the media.
"This is a great guy!"
James couldn't help but be amazed at first.
Then he began to humble himself, "Even if people say I had a good rookie season, my performances are really nothing compared to him. ”
"Dude, you have to know that there are geniuses born in every era, and they all have talents far beyond ordinary people. But these talents require sweat and time to be realized slowly, and Yi Feng seems to have transcended this convention, he seems to be born to know it. We know that those who are thought to be born to know are all great sages. ”
"Whether Yi Feng was born to know, I don't know. But I know he must have a super talent that we can't imagine, so now he's not even 20 years old and he's already so good. His future must be extraordinary. Hopefully, one day, I will be able to play with him. ”
James is very sociable, and this shows that he always has strong teammates around him. Even in an interview, he unconsciously sent an invitation to Yi Feng.
However, the journalist does not want to listen to these already uniform words of praise, what he wants is clearly contradictions and conflicts.
Immediately, he told James that he had played in the NBA for more than ten years, but his highest score in a single game was only 61 points, and asked him clearly, is his scoring ability not as good as Yi Feng?
What is James's status in the NBA, hearing what the reporter said, he was naturally unhappy. While the secret reporter is not sensible, he also carefully thinks about comparing the advantages and disadvantages of himself and Yi Feng.
In such a comparison, he was also secretly frightened.
In the regular season, he averaged 27.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game in his career, while Yi Feng averaged 36.86 points, 5.7 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game.
Both men's stats are terrifying, but it's clear that James is more versatile, while Yi Feng is more capable of scoring.
However, James's scoring ability of 27.2 points per game is naturally not strong, and Yi Feng's average score of 30+ per game also contributed more than 5 assists and more than 6 rebounds, which cannot be said to be all-round.
Broadly speaking, the two are almost the same type of players. If you have to say the difference, that is, Yi Feng is eleven or twelve years younger, and he seems to be more talented than James, the pride of the sky. Because he averaged 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game in his rookie season, there is indeed a gap compared to today's Yi Feng.
But even so, it is impossible for James to admit in front of reporters that he is not as good as a rookie. Otherwise, where will he put his face as the top card in the league?
"You know, every player handles the game differently. Some players like to use scoring to solve problems, such as Kobe, Durant, and Yi Feng; Others prefer to lead their teammates by passing, such as Chris (Paul). I'm somewhere in between, and I'm able to step up when the team needs me to score; And when the team needs the strength as a whole, I can pass the ball. ”
"I played 12 seasons and the highest score I ever scored in a game was only 61 points, while Yi Feng only played 14 games and got a high score of 62 points in a single game. It's not like he's better at scoring than I am, you know, I need to put a lot of effort into defending and passing. ”
The implication of James' words is that his scoring ability is actually stronger than Yi Feng.
The reporter failed to dig up the fierce material, nor was he able to create contradictions and provoke success, and finally disappeared.
In the overwhelming news about the Lakers' victory over the Warriors, there was no voice blaming the Warriors.
The only news about the Warriors is that their head coach Steve Kerr announced that he had undergone surgery after the game, and his assistant coach Luke Wharton took over as head coach and became the acting head coach of the Warriors.
On Nov. 25, the day after the Lakers' victory over the Warriors, the players were given a rare short break. On the 28th, they had a game.
While his teammates were resting, Yi Feng flew to Portland alone.
It's not because Yi Feng attaches too much importance to the next opponent, the Trail Blazers, and needs to go over a few days in advance to understand the opponent's situation. He's out to talk about business.
Last night, after the game, Zhou Mu, an agent who had not been in contact for a long time, called him and discussed with him about the sneaker endorsement contract.
After Yi Feng was drafted by the Timberwolves and became the top pick, although he was immediately traded to the Lakers, this did not affect his commercial value.
At this time, many large enterprises have come to the door to ask him to endorse. And most of the companies that want to ask him to endorse are sporting goods companies.
Among them, the most famous are giants such as Nike, Adi and Under Armour, as well as some sportswear companies from China, such as Anta, Li Ning, Peak and so on.
At that time, the conditions offered by these companies could not satisfy Yifeng. So he didn't agree.
Obviously, Yi Feng has the meaning of waiting for the price to sell, he knows his ability, and these merchants want to tie him up with a contract all the time, how can they do it without showing some sincerity.
And when Yi Feng became more and more prosperous in the NBA and the famous hall became bigger and bigger, these merchants were naturally more anxious to bring Yi Feng under their command.
Especially after Yi Feng scored 62 points against the mighty Warriors and beat the Warriors with six points in the final 13 seconds, the eagerness of these merchants became more and more obvious. Yi Feng's popular team was harassed by these people almost all night last night, and they couldn't sleep.
Yifeng's popularity is getting stronger and its commercial value remains high, which is a typical sweet spot for these sporting goods companies, and if they don't start early, they are likely to be snatched away by competitors.
If the competitor is strong, it is equivalent to weakening himself in disguise, and how can he have his own place at that time?
Zhou Mu suggested that Yi Feng was ripe to sign a sneaker contract at this time, and the conditions proposed by those merchants were becoming more and more lucrative. If you continue to wait for the price to sell, it is very likely that you will wear out the patience of the question, and finally go too far.
As soon as the two combined, they decided to hold a conference meeting in Portland, and Yi Feng made appointments one by one with those companies that sincerely asked him to endorse.
In fact, everything in this conference meeting was arranged by Fengxing, and Yi Feng only met in the past, and he was familiar with each other, and by the way, after the negotiation was completed, he signed his name.
In addition to Yi Feng's own convenient reasons - the Lakers' next opponent is really the Trail Blazers at Portland's home court, the biggest reason is that Portland, a city in the northwest corner of the United States, is now an internationally renowned sneaker mecca.
Portland, Oregon's largest city, has welcomed a number of leading brands in the sneaker industry in the past 10 years, the most well-known of which is the sporting goods giant Adidas.
Adi has 1,200 employees in Oregon, and their design department has even moved directly into Portland instead of Germany. You know, Adi's roots are not in the United States, but in Europe. In doing so, they obviously wanted to penetrate into the enemy and disintegrate the enemy from within.
Under Armour (UA), a sporting goods giant that originated in Baltimore, moved its sneaker design headquarters to Portland in April 2015.
As for the leader of the American sporting goods industry, Nike, was founded in Portland in 1972. Today's Nike is already extremely terrifying, with more than 60,000 employees and an annual turnover of more than $30 billion.
In addition, Li Ning and Anta set up their US headquarters in Portland in 2007 and 2015 respectively. When the British brand Hi-Tec entered the US market in 2010, it also had its headquarters in Portland; Rain boot brand BOGS moved to Portland in 2011; Japanese brand Mizuno expanded its presence in the Portland area in 2015; Even Uganda's biggest sneaker brand, sseko, has chosen to be based in Portland. And that's not even counting Columbia, an outdoor sports brand whose main business includes footwear, which originated in Oregon.
According to the Portland Development Agency, more than 800 sports and outdoor companies are based in Oregon today. It is precisely because of this large scale that it has become the mecca of sneakers.
Although Yi Feng covered himself up, his outstanding height betrayed him.
He was recognized on the plane, and it was inevitable that he would take a group photo and sign it.
There are several beautiful fans who are even excited to kiss him.
Yi Feng naturally refused. However, he was still secretly frightened in his heart, this American imperialist people are open!
After getting off the plane, he looked around the airport - Zhou Mu said that he would arrange for someone to come and pick him up.
Zhou Mu didn't be able to elaborate last night, and Yi Feng didn't know who came to pick him up.
After waiting for a while, the phone rang suddenly.
Yi Feng looked at the caller ID, and it turned out to be Zhuang Yue's phone.
It seems that the one who came to pick up the airport today is this Zhuang Yue.
Zhuang Yue is a member of Yi Feng's agent team, and she is the type of royal sister who makes Yi Feng have no resistance. With a mature and moving charm, and the intellectual independence of the new era of female characteristics, it is definitely the other half of thousands of men's dreams.
When Yi Feng first saw Zhuang Yue, he was also amazed by her.
But it's a pity that such a perfect woman has an unbearable past.
She is now divorced and raising a young daughter on her own.
Connected to the phone, Zhuang Yue's charming voice came from the receiver, "Little boss, people have been looking forward to you for so long, and they finally looked forward to you." ”
"Little boss" is Zhuang Yue's unique name for Yi Feng.
Yi Feng and Zhuang Yue actually only have a few faces, but I don't know if Zhuang Yue was born with self-familiarity or deliberately approached Yi Feng, in the popular world, she has almost the best relationship with Yi Feng. The level of familiarity almost exceeds the familiarity of Zhou Mu and Yi Feng.
Perhaps there is also a reason why Yi Feng does not have much resistance to this type of woman.
And the special title of "little boss", according to Zhuang Yue's own joke, is a term of endearment for Yi Feng.
For such an ambiguous title, Yi Feng sounded a little tormented, but he enjoyed it a little. With such ambivalence, in the end there was no opposition.
Hearing Zhuang Yue's voice, Yi Feng felt that his ears were a little numb, and the bones in his whole body were half a catty. However, as for the content of Zhuang Yue's words, Yi Feng just listened to it.
These provocative words, Yi Feng only dared to listen to them and enjoy them, but he didn't dare to respond. After all, Zhuang Yue is a divorced young woman with a family, and he is also a person who has a girlfriend.
In case people are just joking in nature and don't take it seriously at all; And how embarrassing it would be for you to lick your face and get rejected by others.
So Yi Feng didn't answer Zhuang Yue's words, and said, "Sister Yue, did Brother Zhou ask you to pick me up." ”
Zhuang Yue smiled, "I am the most idle in the group, so the task of picking up the airport naturally falls on me." And this is a great opportunity to tie up with the little boss! What, little boss, don't you want me to pick you up? ”
Yi Feng said: "......"
Think?
Still don't want to?
No matter how Yi Feng answered, he was a little embarrassed.
You want the charming young woman to come and pick you up, what is your intention? A big beauty comes to pick you up, and you don't welcome it, treating the beauty like a pink skeleton?
It's really hard to answer!
In the end, he could only talk about him again and change the topic, "Since Sister Yue, you are already here, then let's leave the airport first." ”
Zhuang Yue said: "I'm right behind you, little boss!" Turn around and give me a warm hug. ”
Yi Feng's body stiffened, not frightened by Zhuang Yue's words, but someone really hugged him!!
Nima ......
That's too much of a surprise, isn't it?
However, Yi Feng soon reacted, he was a false alarm.
Because all he was holding on to was his feet. Even if he is two meters tall, it is impossible for Zhuang Yue to reach out his hands and only hold his feet, right?
Therefore, the person holding him will not be Zhuang Yue.
And with such a height, the person holding him is most likely Zhuang Yue's daughter Zhuang Mengmeng. (To be continued.) )
