Chapter 29: Substitute Dual-Guard
Paul Silas was obviously overjoyed, and Ye Feng could naturally hear it.
But Ye Feng didn't know that Paul only told half the truth.
It was indeed Paul who gave Ye Feng the opportunity to play in the summer league, but it was not Paul who was discerning, he was just played by "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.
But Paul selectively left out this part.
As for why Paul is willing to give Ye Feng a chance, part of it is because Ye Feng was dug up by Paul himself, and he is considered to be Paul's person. The other part is a meeting not long ago.
Cavaliers General Manager's Office.
Sitting in the office chair was not the general manager Danny Ferry, but the big boss of the Knights, Gooden Gander.
(Gooden Gander sold a controlling stake in the Cavaliers to Dan Gilbert in 2005, but still owns 15 percent.) )
"Paul, I heard that there is a Chinese kid on the team, how is he playing?"
Gooden Gander gets straight to the point, he's not a basketball owner and bought the Cavaliers just to make money.
"Ye, he played well. The advantages are obvious, the speed is fast, the three-point shot is very accurate, and the defense is aggressive. But the shortcomings are also serious, he is too thin to fight. Coupled with the 188 cm behind, it is actually very disadvantageous in the position of scoring guard. ”
Paul Sellars summed it up.
"You mean to say that Ye can survive in the NBA?"
Gooden Gander's eyes lit up, as if he could see the dollar.
"Yes. With just a slight gain of 5 kilograms, Ye may be able to adapt to the NBA confrontation. Now, I can make Ye appear in garbage time and gain some experience. By the time of next season, Ye should be able to become a qualified role player. ”
Paul was a little empty by Gooden, and the boss's eyes were too naked.
"No, no, no! I'm not talking about a year from now, but now. ”
Gooden Gander waved his hand and refused, and made his demands categorically.
"Now? No! The owner, who is not yet capable enough to rotate the team, needs to step up the confrontation. ”
Paul argued.
"You mean you can't make up for me?"
Gooden Gander's eyes froze, and Paul was stunned.
"Yes, Paul can do it, boss rest assured!"
Danny Ferry, the general manager on the side, hurriedly came out to the rescue and gave Paul a look.
Paul had no choice but to ensure that he would complete the boss's task, and Gooden left satisfied, leaving Paul in a cold sweat.
"Paul, you're crazy how dare you play against your boss. Do you know that last year, there were two owners here, and you want to be the third? ”
As soon as Gooden left, Danny Ferry blamed.
"But Ye did ...... Why did the boss have to let him play? ”
Paul asked.
"Gooden is a businessman, but the Cavaliers haven't made the playoffs in years, and Gooden has lost a lot of money. It's hard to see a Chinese player, can Gooden not be excited? You know, the Rockets picked Yao Ming last season, and then Alexander made a fortune! ”
"Paul, Ye is a rookie you fancy no matter what, give him some opportunities, you can accept it in your heart. Anyway, the team started to rebuild this season, and you didn't have to win the championship. As for if Ye behaves badly, if you let him go back to the bench, Gu Deng won't be able to say anything at that time. ”
Danny Ferry comforted him twice and prepared to leave.
At this time, Paul had no choice but to find a way to let Ye Feng appear, so there was the previous scene.
********
After the training, Ye Feng, Capono and Gerani returned to the apartment they had just rented.
After the daily five-kilometer weight-bearing run, Ye Feng washed up and was ready to watch the news and sleep.
And after turning on the computer, Ye Feng saw a familiar name.
Avril Lavigne!
The entire network is occupied by Avril Lavigne's news everywhere.
Ye Feng roughly glanced at it and immediately understood the approximate situation.
It turned out that not long ago, Avril posted a status on her personal website, announcing that she had broken up with her boyfriend Sum 41, the lead singer of the band Sum 41, who had been in love for more than 2 years.
This was originally not a big deal, after all, the European and American views on love are very open. Not to mention just falling in love, even if you get married and then divorce, it's normal.
But just a few days later, someone on the Internet anonymously broke the news of Avril's plagiarism.
The news said: Avril, known as a punk singer, soul poet, and rebellious girl, is not an original singer at all. All her creations come from the hands of others.
In the early days, it was Avril's record label Alice Tower who searched for the gunslinger song for her.
Later, after dating Sum 41 frontman Drake, the song is from the Sum 41 team.
In addition to this, the man also listed a lot of photographs called evidence, which were drafts of the score of the songwriting.
Ye Feng took a look, the photo was very blurry, he couldn't see it clearly at all, he could only see a rough idea.
But in the face of such evidence, countless people immediately believed it and began to scold Avril.
What's even more hateful is that after that, countless people in the music industry who came out of nowhere pointed out that many parts of Avril's songs, such as harmony, melody, and rhythm, were similar to earlier songs, which was suspected of plagiarism.
As soon as these words were spoken, Avril's black fans were even more arrogant, using the expert's words as an arrow, constantly attacking Avril.
But who is Avril, the hottest music newcomer in the whole of North America, and there are countless fans.
Most of these real fans are still teenagers, and the last thing they are afraid of is scolding.
As a result, real fans and black fans fought on the entire Internet.
"Look! Avril is plagiarism, the evidence is all out, and you dare to quibble? "The black pink toe is high-spirited.
"What kind of evidence is that, at first glance, it is forged, and someone is framing AL at all." Real fans immediately fought back.
"Oh, since it's forged evidence, why didn't Avril stand up and plead, but hid instead, I think she is a thief." Black fans continue to attack.
And the real fans were speechless all of a sudden.
They had previously formed a group to ask Avril to come out and make a name for herself and maintain her reputation.
But for some reason, Avril seemed to disappear and never appeared.
This kind of performance made Avril's real fans hesitate.
Ye Feng knew the truth, after all, he had listened to the whole quarrel between Avril and Derick that night, and he was very sure that Avril was all original, but it was Sum 41.
Ye Feng began to wonder if this incident had something to do with Drake, after all, he had shown great aggression that night.
Not long after, Ye Feng received a call from Ye Ni.
"I absolutely believe in my goddess Avril. But why didn't she come out and defend herself? Ye Feng, what do you think? ”
Ye Ni, who claims to absolutely trust Avril, has hesitation in her words.
Probably Avril's real fans are like this now.
"Don't worry, Avril didn't plagiarize!"
Ye Feng told Ye Ni what he thought in his heart.
"Huh?"
Ye Ni was stunned for a moment, in her heart, Ye Feng is the kind of guy who doesn't pay attention to the entertainment industry at all, she didn't even know who Avril was before, how could he believe in Avril so much?
It's more real than real powder!
"Go to bed early!"
Ye Feng didn't tell the truth, he was afraid that Ye Ni would break the casserole and ask to the end, and he would be entangled.
What's more, what if he knows the truth, can he help Avril clarify the truth?
Ye Feng is still self-aware.
