Chapter 62: A Lifetime Enemy
Although the preseason has gone far, Yi Feng's crazy performance in the preseason is still fresh in people's memories. Especially during this period of time, the regular season has not yet started, and Yi Feng's magical performance is still the talk of fans.
Yi Feng played such a performance, which can be regarded as a preliminary proof of himself. Although there are still voices questioning him in the United States, they are less than before.
Of course, fans who want to hack him still have all kinds of reasons to continue to hack.
Fans in other places are not as "picky" as American fans. Especially in Asia, especially in China.
As a yellow race, as an Asian, Yi Feng appeared in the NBA dominated by blacks, and also played such amazing statistics in the preseason, making yellow people and Asians very proud.
Even India's Ah San, who has always looked at China unpleasantly, has also seen a lot of fans who are easy to wind. Of course, the most are female fans, and as for the reason, of course, he has a face that looks against the sky.
In South Korea, Yi Feng is a national icon. Why? Because he has a natural handsome face and a masculine masculinity that is proud of all Korean men, this is a tough guy temperament that many Korean Oba can't have.
Most Korean women don't know how Yi Feng's ball skills are, but they also like Yi Feng, or like his figure, and his natural face.
And Korean men, while envying Yi Feng's good figure, they also envy his masculine male charm. Quite simply, this envy is transformed into worship.
In Japan, the Japanese, who worship the strong in their bones, both men and women, are conquered by Yi Feng's powerful ball skills. And in this world of looking at faces, having a high-value face is more likely to be welcomed wherever you go.
In other countries around China, which have long been influenced by China, it is easy for the people of these countries to become fans of Yifeng.
Not to mention China, which is Yi Feng's base camp and his most solid backing. Chinese fans are Yi Feng's earliest fans, and they are also the fans who can support him the most to the end.
China is deeply influenced by the NBA, and there are many basketball fans.
When fans watch the NBA, although they will also like some of the stars, they may like Kobe, they may like James, they may also like Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, etc.
But such a liking is not unreservedly supported. After all, they have no contact with NBA stars, and they really have nothing to do with each other.
On the contrary, although some Chinese fans will not like Yao Ming, they will spare no effort to support him. Because every wonderful performance of Yao Ming in the NBA is to add glory to the country, as Chinese, they have honor.
However, after Yao Ming retired and Yi Jianlian returned to China, there was no Chinese figure in the NBA. The fans are full of enthusiasm, and there is no one to rely on.
Now, Yi Feng has landed in the NBA, and the fans have given him the greatest support without hesitation.
And they found that Yi Feng's talent is not inferior to those top stars in the league.
And just in the preseason, Yi Feng proved it!
This shows that their enthusiasm is not entrusted to non-people!
And Yi Feng's performance strongly responded to the Yankees' doubts about him, and the slapping sound made the fans secretly happy.
The many American imperialists who were slapped in the face, especially those media who had openly questioned Yi Feng, did not want to be pressed to the ground and slapped in the face by Yi Feng like this, they wanted to fight back.
However, the performance of the preseason of Yifeng really has no black spots, and they can only make fun of Carl Anthony Downs, who hates iron and steel.
During the joint tryout before the draft, Yifeng's biggest opponent, D'Angelo Russell, has long since disappeared from the public eye. He was rumored to have signed a contract with the Los Angeles Clippers, but he was not seen playing for the Clippers in the preseason.
As a result, Russell and Lucky escaped the media's anger.
But Downs' modest performance in the preseason has become the target of media spray. Especially when they are still full of resentment, their combat effectiveness has definitely reached the top.
In this regard, Downs said that he was innocent. Then he hid from the media and didn't dare to show his face in public. But the pressure brought to him by the media "shooting" at him cannot be avoided.
Finally, he tweeted: As an honest child, not being able to adapt to a new environment faster has always been my shortcoming. Maybe that's why I'm not the top pick this year.
Downs tactfully expressed the reason why he didn't perform too well in the preseason on Twitter, suggesting that he will definitely perform better after adapting to the NBA.
The last sentence also expresses that Downs, as a young man with strong blood, has the strength to not admit defeat. Yi Feng just performed well because he adapted to the NBA faster than himself. And it's not that his strength is inferior to him, it's just that he is not in a good state now!
Then Downs's tweet instantly plunged the desperate media into ecstasy.
Downs's clever way of avoiding the media has made many media outlets feel like a tiger biting a hedgehog -- nowhere to go. But after Downs tweeted it, they got the hang of it right away.
As Downs continued to hide from the media, the media turned around and went to interview Yi Feng, the person Downs didn't want to mention on Twitter.
For the rookies of the class of 2015, some people think that the 2015 draft is a small year, while more people think that because of rookies like Towns, Russell, and Moodier, the overall level of the 2015 rookies will be improved, but even if it is out of the category of the draft year, the quality of the rookies in this class is very average.
And you see, even a Chinese guy named Yi Feng has become the champion of this year!
However, it was a preseason game, and these people were slapped in the face.
Not to mention Yi Feng's unnatural performance in the preseason, the No. 4 pick in 2015, Kristaps Porzingis, was able to deliver 14 points and 7 rebounds in the preseason! And Carl Anthony Towns' 13 points and 8 rebounds!
Three of the top four rookies in this class have played well in the preseason. The odds of these three becoming All-Stars in the future are high, and even those who have always questioned Yi Feng now have to admit this fact.
There is also the seventh-pick Emmanuel Moodier, who averaged 15.2 points, 5.4 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game in the preseason, which is even better than the stats of Towns and Porzingis. It's a pity that he has an average of 5.5 turnovers per game.
These outstanding rookies have greatly improved the overall quality of this class of rookies. People, especially experts, were slapped in the face in the end, just like saying that 2009 was a small year for the draft.
James Harden, who is now faintly known as the No. 1 quarterback in the league, and Stephen Curry, last season's regular season MVP, are both rookies in the class of 2009. They were joined by All-Star Blake Griffin, DeMar DeRozan, and many more.
As a result, for a while, the opinions about whether 2015 was a draft year disappeared without a trace. With the strong performance of this year's champion show in the preseason, many people began to talk about who was his lifelong enemy.
In the NBA, it's nice to have good teammates, but sometimes it's even more fortunate to have the best opponents.
The history of the league is full of classic rivals, such as Magic Johnson and Big Bird Larry Bird, and the rivalry between them can be said to have fulfilled both themselves and their opponents.
It's cold in the heights.
When you have come to the invincible realm, what you experience is endless loneliness. Therefore, the star is eager for great opponents to appear, and only by defeating great opponents can he be great.
A flower is not spring, and it is difficult for a lonely goose to travel.
As a sport full of confrontation, if basketball is less evenly matched, then the sport will be less attractive to people. Therefore, the league also advocates confrontation, especially between strong teams and superstars.
Some see last year's No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins as Yi Feng's lifelong enemy. They believe that Wiggins and Yi Feng have very similar physical conditions, and the two can be said to be the same age, and the peak of their future careers will overlap infinitely.
But more people are still not optimistic about the future of Yi Feng, who has a super performance in the preseason, thinking that his lifelong enemy will only appear in the same rookie class. It's either D'Angelo Russell, or Emmanuel Moodier, or Karl Anthony Downs.
What's more, he thinks that Yi Feng is actually just a comet, and he will only flash away in the alliance. Don't look at how happy he is now, he will die fast in the future. He wouldn't have any lifelong enemies at all.
Among the three, there are the most people who think that Yi Feng's lifelong enemy is among the rookies of the same class.
And now Downs has posted such a tweet, as if he wants to express his opinion on this topic?
Especially after the media intervened to see the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, the contradictions hidden in Downs's words were infinitely magnified.
A reporter interviewed Yi Feng: Downs thinks that his strength is not inferior to you, what do you think?
Yi Feng smiled but did not speak.
Then the reporter went away in joy, and the next day issued a news message saying that the champion despised the leader. Such nonsense news has even been reprinted on a large scale. The intention of the media is already very clear, they just want to make things bigger.
And Downs was fooled.
He claimed that he had been insulted and was going to teach Yi Feng a hard lesson in the first game of the regular season!
On his latest Twitter update, people saw a very interesting picture:
"I knew I wasn't 100 per cent in pre-season, but I didn't expect to be despised for my poor pre-season performance," Downs said. Just let me see, although I'm just a leader, but whether the champion show really has the capital to despise me! On October 28th, I'll be on a killing spree in Staples, shiver!
And there is a reply below that is pinned, which is an expression of Yi Fengfa.
This expression is a smiley face named "Hehe".
