Lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling, Ye Feng couldn't sleep, still thinking about the game the night before. www.biquge.info When Phil sent Ariza to start, he knew he would have to play against Kobe Bryant for most of the game. The final result was not unexpected, the team lost, and he was also crushed by Kobe Bryant in terms of individual performance, and no one laughed at him for not being self-sufficient, because it was difficult to pat his chest and say that he could do better if he was replaced by anyone on the team. But this feeling is really bad, although he knows that there is a gap in strength, but he is unhappy, which is why he is still haunted until now.

But where he couldn't see, his name was remembered by more people in the undercurrent. Indeed, he really looked powerless, and even allowed Kobe to score a high score of 40+, but in the first few minutes of the first quarter, he really blocked Kobe's offense, and even scored under Kobe's defense, although it was tough, but the statistics would not lie. In the eyes of fans, regardless of whether this yellow-skinned kid can continue to survive in the league, this game can be regarded as a good start, isn't it normal for a rookie to be able to do Kobe? It's enough to play your own characteristics!

Of course, there is another place where the media is more frantically touting Ye Feng, of course not Portland, although they also think that Ye Feng's performance is good, but in their opinion, the most anticipated player for the Trail Blazers is still the calm and sharp shooting guard. The Los Angeles media gave Ye Feng a high evaluation, after all, he is another talented player who came out of Los Angeles, even if he is actually a Chinese, it cannot stop Los Angeles fans from loving him. In fact, such a result is what the Los Angeles area media would like to see the most, the Lakers won, and the rookie from Los Angeles played well on the opposite side, which is the best of both worlds as they defined.

However, if Ye Feng knew what they thought, then he would rather not have this "best of both worlds", he preferred victory in comparison. His teammates forgave him for his performance in the game, maybe he couldn't say forgive, it should be regarded as a reluctant recognition, but Ye Feng himself couldn't forgive himself. As long as he closes his eyes, the scenes of the offense and defense against Kobe Bryant that day will quietly start to play in his mind, even if it makes him feel pain and helplessness, he has to watch and analyze it over and over again. Even a subtle movement and expression, or a slight change in the center of gravity, begins to play back like slow motion.

But Ye Feng was just trying to recall Kobe's aura, or rather, "potential". There is no doubt that Kobe's application of "potential" has reached the extreme, his "potential" is not only the style and skills, but also the self-confidence and toughness he has accumulated over the years, which is the so-called "heart of the strong"! No matter what defensive moves you make, whether you have beaten me or not, when you stand in front of me, I firmly believe that I can defeat you, because I am better than you! It can be said that this is a psychological advantage created for oneself, and then drive the external qi to influence the opponent, what a terrible self-confidence!

In fact, it was terrible to be affected by Kobe's mentality, especially when the team still failed miserably in the end. If his team wins in the end, even if it is just a narrow victory, the pressure in his heart will be completely different, but now Ye Feng is simply suffering double the devastation, and he can't afford to continue to challenge at all. Ye Feng thinks that he is not a person with a weak heart, but he has never encountered such a mentality, fear, frustration, and confusion...... All the negative factors completely converged, and he couldn't see the direction of the future a little. He just lay stunned in the dark, unable to make any sound.

Suddenly, Ye Feng's ears echoed the words that Kobe Bryant said when he hugged him at the end of the game: "Rookie, you did a good job tonight, but this is not enough, far from enough, your team needs you to contribute more." I think if you can keep up with the first three minutes, then you have a lot of room to improve and I hope to play you again. But if that's not replicable, maybe you'll just be the best role player in the league, or a little taller, a second-tier star, but you'll never get to the top of the pyramid, and that's a complete failure for you! ”

In the dark, Ye Feng smiled bitterly: the state of the first three minutes? Is it the kind of state that bravely steps forward to challenge no matter who is in front of you? May I? I've already lost a lot, and I've lost to that man before I have been honing my skills for so many years. A great role player? The league's second-tier star? That's also the existence of being able to get tens of millions of contracts, and if you can reach that level, what's not to be satisfied with? The team already has Roy, so why should I make myself a player who is not inferior to him? Wouldn't that be great now?

Fight him again? Will the results change? He's Kobe, the closest man to Jordan in this era! No matter how hard I try, I can't outdo him, so is this kind of duel interesting? Maybe the only point is to show off how strong a player he is, right? What about me? I could only stand in a dark corner where the spotlight could not shine, and watch him silently, because I could not defeat him, and the weak must have the consciousness of the weak......

"Didi-" There was suddenly a glimmer of light in the room where the lights were not turned on, and the mobile phone lying on the bedside table lit up the screen, pulling Ye Feng out of his thoughts. He picked up his phone irritably, clicked on it, and it turned out that someone among his Twitter friends was looking for him to chat privately. The familiar long blond hair on the avatar, and the flickering electric eyes, who is it not Abby? Ye Feng opened the interface of the private chat expressionlessly, it turned out to be a link to a video, and as soon as he looked at the familiar jersey and number on the thumbnail, Ye Feng couldn't help but scold viciously: "Which stupid X is idle and has nothing to do and put my game clips on the Internet?" ”

He didn't plan to click on it, he has only played one professional game so far, the one against the Lakers, and he behaved like. He took a deep breath, suppressed the "Three Character Sutra" that he had brought to his lips, and wrote in the input box: "Miss, are you here to laugh at me?" I know that my debut performance is bad, so I won't ask you to remind me! Then click "Send" directly. Abby seems to have been playing with her phone, and soon a line came back: "What mockery?" How can I have so much free time to post a video to laugh at you? I just wanted to say that you guys look pretty good! ”

Terrible? Ye Feng read the words one by one to make sure that Abby was not talking back, so he clicked on the video with curiosity. The video is very short, but the person who edited it is worthy of being a master, he chose the most critical shot of Ye Feng to prevent Kobe Bryant for several consecutive rounds, and there was no stiff feeling between each clip, as if Kobe Bryant was about to be killed by Ye Feng in this game. Only then did Ye Feng understand why Abby said that he was very powerful, but what was the use of this? In the final analysis, he still lost the game, and he also lost the head-to-head battle with Kobe.

He turned off the video and sent another message: "Really? Maybe that's just a little bit of time for me to play well in the whole game. Abby over there also replied quickly, and in 10 seconds she even sent a longer sentence: "But as a rookie, it's good that you can prove that you have the potential to defend against Kobe, at least you give hope to the fans who like you, so that they can see that you will have a lot of room to grow in the future, so that they will look forward to your next performance even more, don't you feel that your challenge is half successful?" ”

What the? Half the battle? I lost, and it was the kind of unstoppable, utter defeat! Ye Feng was very simple, and he didn't consider that the beauty could get by on the face, so he wrote directly: "I don't think so, I just think I'm a loser." ”

This time, Abby seemed to be silent for a long time, and just when Ye Feng was about to put his phone down to sleep, her news was late: "I watched the live broadcast of this game, and I also got the statistical results as an ESPN intern for the first time." Yes, you did lose to Kobe Bryant in terms of stats and records, but this short video has proven your potential, how many rookies in NBA history have dared to say that they can beat their long-established predecessors on the court when they first entered the league? What's more, you're still facing one of the top scoring guards in history! You have to believe that you are strong, strong enough that you can have the upper hand against Kobe Bryant when you first enter the league, although it is short, but it is also the upper hand! By the way, one last word, I'm your fan, so I think you still have a long way to go, don't believe me, my dad said the same! A mischievous expression was added at the end.

Ye Feng looked at this news in a daze, something in his heart was collapsing little by little, that is a conservative shell, if he doesn't break this barrier, he may really be suffocated inside, and it is exactly what Kobe Bryant said to himself, "You can only become an excellent role player in this league, or a little higher, a second-tier star." But is it really good to aim for second-tier stars? What guy doesn't go to be a superstar, bastard! Not to mention...... What's more, there are still people who want to believe in me, she thinks I'm strong, thinks I have great potential, thinks I still have a long way to go, so what about the last step of this road? Can I really compete with Kobe?

OK! Absolutely! Because that's what she expected! Ye Feng put down his phone, a bright face flashed in his mind, he looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and secretly clenched his fists.
