Chapter 127: Los Angeles, I'm Back

At the strong request of all his teammates, Ye Feng simply had a lot of luxury and invited everyone to the bar for a night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But the teammates were quite kind, and they didn't start ordering those shocking drinks, which were basically one or two cocktails per person, and let Ye Feng go. For Ye Feng, of course, this is completely okay, after all, he is still a poor person, in terms of pocket money, Ye Ning and Guo Yu are not like domestic parents who will "support" if they have nothing to do, basically Ye Feng is spending the money he earns, and before he gets a big contract, he can naturally save it.

But the key issue now is not the All-Star next year, but the upcoming New Year's Day. Even after living in the United States for such a long time, Ye Feng still has a strong interest in traditional festivals in China, which is also specially cultivated by Ye Ning and his wife, they don't want their son to become a yellow-skinned American, their roots are still in China. With the excitement of approaching New Year's Day, Ye Feng played well in the next games, and the team also achieved 5 wins and 2 losses, improving the record to 20 wins and 12 losses, ranking fifth in the west.

It is worth mentioning that Roy made 14 of 27 shots from the field and 19 of 21 free throws in the home game against the Suns on December 18, and also made five three-pointers to score a career-high 52 points, while also contributing five rebounds and six assists. His career-high didn't turn into a "mileage tragedy," as the Trail Blazers' 124-119 win over the Suns made his 52 points meaningful. After the game, Roy was also quite excited, and treated everyone to a meal out of his own pocket the next day. As the cornerstone of the team's support, Roy's handwriting is much better than Ye Feng's, although he is still in the rookie contract period, but as the captain, it is impossible to be stingy.

After beating the Celtics in Rose Garden, the Trail Blazers' 2008 games were all over, and for the first time, Ye Feng wanted to thank the guy in the NBA who arranged the team's schedule, for which such a schedule was perfect. From December 23rd to 30th, the Trail Blazers played four home games in a row, and their first game in 2009 was on January 2, also at home against the Hornets, which means that there were two days without a game in between, which also gave Ye Feng time to fly back to Los Angeles to spend New Year's Day with his parents, which was quite important to him.

Recently, the team's record is good, and McMillan is also very talkative, Ye Feng is wondering if he knows the importance of New Year's Day to the Chinese, or how can he immediately grant a vacation as soon as he hears that Ye Feng will return to Los Angeles in those two days? In fact, he thinks too much, Americans also attach great importance to the end of the year, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, maybe they don't understand the Chinese New Year, but they are still very interested in New Year's Day, a festival like the beginning of the new year. After getting the approval of the head coach, Ye Feng called his mother directly and told her that he would fly back to celebrate the holiday with them on New Year's Day.

Guo Yu, who received a call from her son, was naturally overjoyed, her dedication is not as heavy as Ye Ning, for Ye Ning, Ye Feng is a continuation of his own basketball dream, but Guo Yu hopes that his son can often go home to see and rest in the offseason. If she could, she even wanted her son to stay in Los Angeles to play, wouldn't there be two teams, the Lakers and the Clippers? However, it is also a good choice in Portland now, at least Ye Feng was not selected by the team in the east, although the transportation in the United States is very developed, but the time from the east to the west is still difficult to shorten, so it is not convenient to go home.

There is nothing to pack in the apartment, after all, there are only two days of vacation, and he usually has to fight outside for a week even in consecutive away games, so Ye Feng carried a bag very easily, stuffed his notebook and tablet, plus a few sets of change of clothes, and didn't even need a suitcase, and took a taxi directly to the airport to take a plane to Los Angeles. Strictly speaking, after moving to the United States, Ye Feng has never been away from home for as long as he is now, and before that, whether it was elementary school, middle school or college, he had risen all the way up in the Los Angeles area step by step, and joining the Trail Blazers was his first time away from home.

So this short vacation, he can be called a homecoming, so he did not hesitate to buy a red-eye flight that boarded soon after the game with the Celtics. The so-called red-eye flight refers to the night flight normally arranged by the airline, generally in order to improve the utilization rate of the aircraft, the airline uses the idle time of the night aircraft to arrange the flight, so as to reduce the cost of the flight. Generally speaking, business people prefer red-eye flights, which usually depart from the West Coast of the United States after 9 p.m. and arrive in the East Coast city early the next morning. Since most of the passengers were sleepy-eyed when they got off the plane, the "red-eye flight" got its name.

Ye Feng didn't think there was anything bad about the red-eye flight, after all, he could go home for breakfast in this case. As for catching up on sleep, come on, is this still a thing for NBA players? They have long learned how to fall asleep quickly on the plane and seize any time available to replenish their energy. What made Ye Feng feel a little sad was that when he was waiting for the plane at Portland International Airport at night, several fans actually recognized him and wanted him to sign his clothes. In fact, this is normal, generally speaking, local fans spare no effort to support the team, although Ye Feng is only a rookie, but firstly, he has performed well during this time, firmly holding the position of the starting small forward of the Trail Blazers, and secondly, he is quite recognizable as an Asian, and it is normal for Trail Blazers fans to recognize him at a glance and ask for autographs.

Ye Feng hurriedly signed several fans before boarding the plane. He skillfully asked the flight attendant to bring him a blanket and an eye patch, and quickly fell asleep before the plane could take off. Fortunately, this flight is a direct flight from Portland to Los Angeles, and if he has to fly to other cities, he may have overslept. The plane flew very smoothly, which showed that the flight conditions were quite good, in fact, even a slight bump could not drag Ye Feng out of sleep, after all, he had just finished a game, and he was a little tired both physically and psychologically.

When the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport, the genius was bright, Ye Feng politely thanked the flight attendant and returned the blanket and eye mask, after walking out of the cabin door, he took a deep breath of cold air, and said silently in his heart: "Los Angeles, I'm back!" ”
