Tang Ya was so anxious that she couldn't do it, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and the explosion of public opinion caused by this news had already spread to the whole country, and even some surrounding countries had been affected. She is worried that this news will spread to the United States and affect Yi Feng in the United States.

So she immediately dialed Yi Feng's phone.

The flight from Beijing to Chicago takes about 12 hours. Yifeng departed at about 6 p.m. Beijing time on May 9 and arrived in Chicago at about 6 p.m. Central Time on May 9, which is about 6 a.m. Beijing time on May 10.

With Zhou Mu by his side, Yi Feng should have settled in Chicago by now.

The phone was quickly connected, and the voice of Yi Feng, who was far away in the United States, came from the earpiece, "Sister Tang, you really understand me." I knew I couldn't sleep now, so I called to relieve my boredom. ”

Tang Ya said: "Xiaofeng, don't talk about this first, I don't know which one lacks morality, and the matter of your going to the United States was exposed, and now it's a storm in the city......"

Yi Feng smiled: "It turns out that you called me for this, I thought we had telepathy......"

"Xiaofeng, I'm serious, don't be kidding!"

"Okay, good, seriously, I'm not good at telling you to be serious. Not long after we got off the plane, Coach Lei Ming called us and told us about it, saying that we should prepare early. You don't have to worry, in fact, how lively the country is, it has little impact on me. How do I go to the tryout, how do I have to go. ”

When Tang Ya heard Yi Feng say this, a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, "That's good, I'm afraid that the public opinion here will put too much pressure on you." I don't know about you yet, I always like to take other people's opinions seriously! If you're really stressed, don't hide it, even if you talk to me! ”

"I'm respecting others, and this minimum of politeness should still be there."

Tang Ya was a little dissatisfied with Yi Feng's attitude, and immediately took out her strength and forced Yi Feng to apologize again and again. The conversation between the two was listened to by Tang Ya's mother next to Wu, who smiled at the corner of her eyes and listened to the two of them making porridge on the phone. After being tired of it for nearly an hour, Tang Ya reluctantly put down the phone.

Mother Wu laughed and said, "Miss, you have been calling for a long time, from more than four o'clock to more than five o'clock." ”

"It's past five?" Tang Ya only reacted at this time, "Oh no, I forgot that it's early in the morning over there with Yi Feng!" yes, he told me he couldn't sleep at the beginning! It would be bad to disturb his rest and affect his state! ”

She was immediately in remorse.

"It's useless for you to regret it, now the calls are over. You don't have to regret it, maybe you can make it easier for him to find his form in a foreign country by talking to him on the phone. ”

"Yes, yes, or Mama Wu, you're right. Xiaofeng usually has me by his side in training, and I have been talking to him for so long now, I will definitely be able to help him find a better state! ”

Tang Ya breathed a long sigh of relief.

――――――

Yi Feng took a plane for the first time in his life, and he was inevitably a little excited. So even when it's time to sleep, he doesn't feel sleepy at all. Looking at the endless blue sky and the endless sea of clouds, this wonderful scenery is breathtaking.

Due to the impact of jet lag, Yi Feng took the plane in the afternoon in Beijing, and when he came to Chicago, it was still the afternoon of local time. Zhou Mu seemed to be very familiar with Chicago, so he found the hotel and settled down.

Then Zhou Mu let Yi Feng have a good rest, so that he could have enough physical strength to participate in the training camp the day after tomorrow. And he himself left, saying that he was paving the way for Yi Feng to participate in the draft.

actually left Yi Feng alone in the hotel like this!

In this unfamiliar place, how can a young man from a foreign country rest at ease?

Fortunately, Yi Feng is not the kind of child who doesn't grow up and needs to be taken care of. His family, his background, allowed him to be strong and independent from an early age. Especially after he went to junior high school......

Yi Feng's genius is not only reflected in sports, but his talent in learning is also unparalleled. Since he was a child, his academic performance has always been the first, and no one has ever been able to shake his supremacy.

So he learned English very well, and many teachers in the school were proud of themselves. Whether it's listening, writing, reading, or speaking, there is not a single shortcoming. Even in a place like Chicago, where he is unfamiliar, Yi Feng is not the slightest timid, not to mention that he can communicate with Americans without barriers, even if he does not know English, he will not have the slightest fluster.

This mentality of not being chaotic in the face of danger has been cultivated since childhood. On the pitch, that's the big heart.

He naturally communicated with the front desk and waiter of the hotel, and he couldn't tell that this was his first time in Chicago. After asking for a dinner and a lot of magazines that could extract a lot of useful information, Yi Feng returned to the room that Zhou Mu had booked for him.

As soon as I had dinner, my phone rang.

It turned out to be the coach's phone. Lei Ming called, with anxiety in his tone that could not be concealed, and gave Yi Feng bad news. Yi Feng came to the United States to participate in the draft, but he finally didn't hide it, I don't know who stabbed him out, and then after media reports, the whole of China exploded.

Yi Feng, who put down the phone, did not panic much. On the contrary, he was excited.

Ever since he saw the basketball on the basketball court, the orange elf that was constantly jumping made him completely fascinated. After playing basketball, he found that he had a deep desire to be watched. The bigger the scene, the less he panicked.

He likes the gliding dunk after a steal, because he enjoys the exclamation of attention at this time; He also liked to cut his opponent's head and cover his face, because of the opponent's unbelievable expression and the audience's shocked gaze, he also enjoyed it very much; His favorite moment was the moment of the hit, because the feeling that it only took a second for his opponent to fall from heaven to hell made him feel like he was choking fate!

In CUBA, he enjoys every game, but it makes him feel like he doesn't have a challenge. So he came to the United States, and he wanted to challenge the NBA, which has the highest level of basketball competition in the world!

It's like playing a game, he clears the easy level of difficulty, and then uses this difficulty to play, people who like challenges and excitement will feel like chewing wax.

Yi Feng is exactly such a person.

played a miraculous performance in CUBA, and Yi Feng faced the reporter's interview without the slightest jerky. He seems to be born without knowing nervousness and fear, talking eloquently in front of the camera, talking and laughing between words, which makes people unconsciously impressed.

The previous domestic media reports, although they made him popular for a while. But this level of "fire" does not seem to be in his eyes. He does not have the triumphant and complacent attitude of a young man after being praised, which may be understood as his maturity beyond ordinary people and his age.

And now that he came to the United States for the draft has been exposed, he doesn't think it's a big deal. Exposure is exposed, anyway, he doesn't feel any pressure, but has the excitement and impulse to show his most perfect state to be more watchable.

This excitement made it even harder for him to sleep.

Because of the biological clock formed by the past work and rest habits, now Chicago is at night, rest time, but in Beijing it is the time for training or class. The jet lag didn't come over for a while, and he couldn't sleep because he was a little excited.

Fortunately, the magazine has just arrived, and looking through the magazines in the hotel can not only kill the boredom, but also get a lot of useful information.

Travel magazines featuring Chicago's local attractions and food; Fashion magazines, about some of the trendsetters who are at the forefront of fashion; There is also the basketball magazine that Yi Feng has the most, which has a lot of information that he urgently needs to know.

Among the NBA2015 draft picks, who are the top picks?

This is Yi Feng's main concern, because in his opinion, these people are his direct competitors.

Karl-Anthony Towns (born November 15, 1995 in Piscataway, NJ, New Jersey, USA), can play both power forward and center positions, and graduated from the University of Kentucky.

In the 2014-15 NCAA season, Towns averaged 21.1 minutes per game, contributing 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 blocks, was named to the Southeastern Conference All-NBA Team, and was selected as the best rookie, helping the team win all the first 38 games and lead the team to the final four, but unfortunately lost to the University of Wisconsin in the NCAA Final Four.

Jahlil Okafor, born on December 15, 1995 in Chicago, Illinois, USA, can also play both power forward and center positions, and graduated from Duke University, a famous basketball school.

In the 2015 NCAA Championship, Okafor played in 38 games, averaging 17.3 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, shooting 66.4% from the field, and led the team to the NCAA championship.

These two are of similar height, and their fame in the United States is not comparable, and they are both top favorites. In every mock draft list on the draft website DraftExpress, these two can basically occupy the top two.

According to the magazine, Downs' talent and potential are explosive, and the future is limitless, while Okafor is super powerful and can provide the team with stable firepower output in his rookie season. The shortcomings of the two are also obvious, with Downs' offensive and relaxation skills still need to be tweaked, while Okafor is not outstanding on the defensive end and has average athleticism.

And it's not for nothing that people can compete with these two insiders:

D'Angelo Russell, born on February 23, 1996 in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, is 1.96 meters tall, a two-way guard, and a graduate of Ohio State University.

In the 2014-15 season, Russell played in 35 games, averaging 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5 assists per game, shooting 44.9% from the field and 41.1% from three-point range. He was selected as the best rookie in the Big Ten District and was selected into the first team of the Big Ten District. In a game on Feb. 9, 2015, Russell contributed 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, becoming the first rookie player in Ohio State history to record a triple-double.

Emmanuel Mudiay, born on March 5, 1996 in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRCongo), is also a two-way guard, he did not enter the NCAA to play, but came to the Chinese CBA, played for the Guangdong team for a year, averaging 18.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, shooting 51.4% from the field and 34.2% from three-point range.

These two two-way guards are extremely good at passing and vision, and they are extremely capable of scoring. Russell's shooting ability is excellent, but his athleticism is lacking, and even below the NBA average, his defensive ability is not good; Moodier, on the other hand, has excellent physical qualities and excellent defensive ability, but his shooting is inconsistent, and he is also sticky to the ball and has a high turnover count.

Although these two people are talented, they are not enough to hit the top position. In particular, Moodier's one-year experience in the CBA is widely believed to be a drop in the overall pick, and he basically misses the top three in the draft. And last year, he was a real favorite.

If these two defenders want to hit the champion, it will have to be after the results of this year's pick-up draw come out, and the champion will be drawn to the kind of team that is crowded on the inside and urgently needs to supplement the strength of the outside. And the Timberwolves, who are most likely to draw the top pick this year, are just the opposite, they are overflowing with outside talent, and what they urgently need is a big man on the inside.
