Chapter 73: The Preseason Ends (Two Changes)
At the post-game press conference, Paul still attended with three cores.
On the other side, the Lakers' press conference, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yang also participated, and once again got the opportunity to ask questions.
"May I ask Mr. Phil, what do you think of Ye Feng of the Cavaliers now?"
Within three days, asking the same question twice, the mentality of the younger was completely different.
Three days ago, he hoped that the Zen master could say something to praise Ye Feng, which would make him an honor as a fellow Chinese basketball person.
But now, he just wanted to see if the Zen master would regret his words.
Phil Jackson's face froze for a moment, but after all, he was an old man and would not be stumped.
"Ye is a very good rookie, and his achievements are limitless. I have to say that he was underestimated in the draft, even I didn't find out his strengths, which is my failure. If possible, I would like to get the opportunity to coach him. โ
Phil Jackson said with a smile.
I have to say that the Zen master's bearing is still very good.
With his status as a meritorious coach, there is no need to say such good things at all, but he just said it. Even because Ye Feng admitted his failure, it was really commendable, which was not something ordinary people could do.
The flash kept turning on, recording the way the Zen master spoke, which made Xiao Xiao a little embarrassed.
At this moment, the image of the Zen master suddenly became taller, and Ye Feng, the central figure of the problem, was forgotten instead.
When Ye Feng knew about this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Forcing the king" is forcing the king, but it is not something that ordinary people can scare, it is less than too light for the enemy.

After Director Zhang Weiping learned about this, he also educated Xiaoxiao.
However, for the three days of shooting, Director Zhang was very satisfied.
It was supposed to be an unplanned and sudden shoot, but the effect was exceptionally good.
At the beginning, Ye Feng was banned for fighting, unable to face the Lakers at home, and was unintentionally ridiculed by the Zen master.
But in the away rematch, Ye Feng played the best result in the preseason so far, only played 21 minutes, hit a three-pointer in 8 of 9 shots, and scored a team-high 24 points.
Ye Feng's realization is simply against the sky, and he almost helped the Cavaliers defeat the strongest Lakers this season. Although he still lost in the end, it also caused a lot of trouble for the Zen master.
After the match, the Zen master had to admit his defeat in the draft......
From the perspective of the artwork alone, this shooting is simply perfect, the desire to promote first suppressed, and finally slapped in the face, this is the routine of most works, and it is also the plot that the audience never gets tired of watching.
Director Zhang can even imagine that if this documentary is screened in China, it will definitely be very popular.
That night, the three of them said goodbye to Ye Feng and went to Houston to join Sun Zhengping's team, and then returned to China together.
But the Cavaliers didn't leave Los Angeles because two days later, they were going to face another team in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Clippers.
Playing the Clippers, the Cavaliers have no pressure because this is a team that is even worse than the Cavaliers last season.
Strange to say, also in a big city like Los Angeles, the Lakers compete for the championship every year, but the Clippers are at the bottom every year, they have not made the playoffs for 6 years, and they are worse than the Cavaliers.
Their three cores were Elton Brand with 20.3 points, 10.3 boards, 3.3 assists and 2.2 blocks, Corey Margetty with 20.7 points, 5.9 boards and 3.1 assists, and Quentin Richardson with 17.2 points, 6.4 boards, 2.1 assists and 1 steal.
Seriously, all three are very good young players. But when they were combined, there was no chemical reaction in sight.
20+10+3+2, 20+5+3, 17+6+2+1, it is equal to the bottom of the league, which is completely unthinkable for other teams.
In addition to that, the Clippers also have this year's No. 6 rookie, Chris Carman, a white center.
But to this day, Carman has not played a record that belongs to his No. 6 pick.
2003 is a well-known draft year, among the top six rookies, except for Milicic, who did not get the opportunity to play, James, Anthony, Wade, and Bosh have become the absolute main force of their respective teams.
Kirk Hinrich in 7th place, Tยท J. Ford also performed well, but Carman got a lot of playing time but didn't play as much as he deserved.
Many experts even believe that the Clippers' choice of Karman is a big failure.
Back at the hotel that night, Ye Feng first received the reward for completing the task.
"Let the Zen master always remember you!" This task Ye Feng completed perfectly.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Feng still added 3 player data points to the speed.
He is 188 cm tall and weighs 80.5 kg.
Speed: 90.
Strength: 42.
Bounce: 80.
Passing: 60.
Ball control: 60.
Three points: 100.
Overall: 72 (66.3).
Ye Feng finally had a statistic that reached 90 and entered the top level of the league.
In the future, you can start to think about adding to your strength and upgrading your confrontation capabilities.
However, the additional task reward made Ye Feng stunned, a piece of good luck, what the hell is this.
Ye Feng was a little inexplicable, but he didn't think much about it.
Luck is such a mysterious thing, and Ye Feng is not capable of controlling it.
On Oct. 19, the Cavaliers beat the Clippers 107-86 to claim their third preseason victory.
Carman shot 2-of-7 and finished with just 4 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block.
James shot 9-of-15 from the field and 8-of-12 from the free-throw line to score a game-high 26 points, along with five rebounds and six assists.
Ye Feng played 18 minutes and scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
After the game, some media ridiculed the Clippers, the rookie selected by the No. 6 pick is not as good as a lost draft, "Baylor" (general manager of the Clippers) is really blind!
After the game, Ye Feng and another Chinese player of the Clippers, Wang Zhizhi, got together. Wang Zhizhi invited Ye Feng to a Chinese restaurant for a supper.
The two didn't talk much, after all, they weren't very familiar with each other.
But Ye Feng could hear that Wang Zhizhi was very unsatisfactory in the NBA, and in tonight's preseason, his playing time was only 6 minutes, and he was still divided into two sections.
It's no wonder that Wang Zhizhi can be happy!
On Oct. 22, the Cavaliers host the Washington Wizards.
After Jordan's retirement last season, Wizards management brought in "No. 0" Gilbert Arenas in the summer to form the league's premier outside trio with Larry Hughes and Jerry Stackhouse.
All three of them have extremely strong offensive ability, which is very formidable.
Unfortunately, Jerry Stackhouse's absence through injury and will miss at least three-quarters of the season has cast a shadow over the Wizards' prospects.
In addition, the Wizards' interior offense is quite weak compared to the terrifying outside offense.
The interior rotation trio, dominated by parallel importer Kwame Brown, is all blue-collar interior and has little offensive ability.
That night, Arenas and Hughes put up perfect numbers, and the two combined for 67 points, but the Wizards still lost.
98:88ใ
The Cavaliers won one more game and declared all seven preseason games over, with an overall record of 4 wins and 3 losses.
Ye Feng played in 6 games, averaging 18.2 minutes per game, scoring 9.2 points, 2.6 boards, 3.9 assists and 0.7 steals, and his performance was quite decent.
But in these six games, Ye Feng's three-point shots totaled 15 of 23, with a shooting rate of 65.2%, which frightened the coaching staff and made some basketball critics in the outside world cry out terrible.
In addition, with the end of the preseason, the power rankings of the 29 teams in the NBA league have also been released.
