After Christmas, Ye Feng and Abby's relationship was unexpectedly closer, perhaps because of the watch engraved with his name that Ye Feng always wore on his hand, or because Abby "asked" Ye Feng to buy her a hairpin that was not worth much. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but no matter what, the frequency of text messages between the two people gradually increased, and they slowly got used to the usual good morning and good night. However, for Ye Feng, the season is still going on, and he has to focus most of his energy on the game.

But compared to Ye Feng, it was Loew who felt more panic in the first game after Christmas, yes, it was indeed panic. As the strongest team and even the best interior player in the entire NCAA, Loew doesn't have much confidence in himself, although his skills don't have to be said, but when he encounters a team that also has a strong interior line, he will subconsciously doubt himself, for fear that the team will suffer a defeat because of his own reasons.

In the next game, Loew is under a lot of pressure and arguably the most stressed on the entire team, as the team will be away to Kansas State, and the most dangerous player on the opposing team is NCAA talented interior Michael Beasley. Beasley is a player with a bizarre resume but also very strong, he changed six schools in four years of high school, with a total record of 138 wins and 5 losses, and in his freshman year of high school, he played 30+10 data at National Christian Academy, and in his senior year, Beasley averaged 28 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists and 4.5 blocks per game, leading NotreDamePrep High School to a 35-3 record and winning the national championship. At the 2007 McDonald's All-American High School All-Star Game, Beasley scored 23 points and was voted the best player of the game. In addition, Beasley also won the Adidas Classic MVP award and was selected for the Jordan Classic, was selected to the All-American Third Team in his junior year, and was selected to the All-American Second Team in his senior year.

For many of the NCAA's interior players, the freshman has long been famous, and this kind of fast-shooting power forward has always been a pain in the face of traditional interior players. Even more desperate is that Beasley is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 106kg, with a combination of speed, technique and physical confrontation, and even his ball control is enough to swing him to the number three position, which is simply crushing for a player of this size. However, Beasley is a solitary player, but he is a player who likes to challenge, and there is a good chance that he will go straight to Loew in this game and prove that he is a stronger interior player with a victory.

Love's pressure turned into chatter, and it became Ye Feng who suffered, who let them be in the same dormitory? This caused Ye Feng to be bombarded indiscriminately by Loew almost every moment except for class time. "Ye, is Beasley really strong?" "Ye, do you think I can beat him? What if I can't beat it? "If I can't handle Beasley and cause the team to lose, will you blame me?" "If we lose games against teams from other divisions in a row, will we be despised by others?" Loew had to recite it almost many times a day, and the noise made Ye Feng's head big.

Loew's nervousness was matched by his stiffness in training, as if all his previous skills had been lost at home. provoked Holland to blow the whistle again and again to stop the training, and lashed out at Loew. In fact, only Ye Feng knows that Loew is very unconfident in himself, even though he has been able to contribute an average of 15+10 data per game, but he never thinks he is a strong man, not to mention that he is about to face Beasley, who is about to face the famous Beasley.

Ye Feng couldn't stand it anymore, and in the interval between training, he quietly told Holland about the situation, hoping that the coach could help him get out of the predicament. After listening to Ye Feng's words, Holland was silent for a while and slowly shook his head. Ye Feng asked curiously, "Coach, why don't you help Kevin?" He's the only player on our team who can compete against Beasley on the inside. Holland smiled incomprehensibly and said, "Of course I know that, and the mentality of the players is something we have to pay attention to. Helping is to help, but not me, nor other coaches or team doctors or even team captains, but ...... You! ”

Ye Feng was taken aback by Holland's words, and he stammered and asked, "Why...... Why me? Holland smiled: "The most important thing is, of course, because the two of you are roommates, and you usually have a lot of opportunities to contact Kevin." Other than that, I'm sure you have what it takes, and I can't expect Russell to help in that regard, even if the three of you usually have a good relationship. ”

Ye Feng still wanted to find a reason to refuse, but Holland's eyes widened, and he threatened: "Ye, if you don't agree, I think it's a good idea to give you three more hours of practice, and maybe I'll push you to the No. 4 position when you play against Kansas State, isn't it good when you defended Ryan Anderson last time?" Ye Feng didn't dare to refuse now, defending Anderson was no longer a human job, and Beasley felt that he was going to finish playing, compared to three hours of extra practice. In desperation, Ye Feng had no choice but to agree to Holland's request to be a psychiatrist exclusive to Loew.

However, Ye Feng is not very good at adjusting the psychology of his teammates, although he is strong in his heart and is not afraid of challenges, it is indeed very difficult to make Loew regain confidence and form. In other words, Ye Feng can only eat fish by himself, and can neither teach people to fish nor teach people to fish. Until the end of the training and went to dinner, Ye Feng had been thinking hard, and the food in front of him had basically not been touched. The key is that it's not easy to call my dad about this, after all, Ye Ning used to be a player rather than a coach, and he is very good at how to inspire teammates on the field, but when it comes to helping teammates regain confidence before the game, the two of them are just half a catty.

Suddenly, Ye Feng had a flash of inspiration: I can ask Abby! As a former intern journalist, this shouldn't be a problem. Thinking of this, Ye Feng hurriedly sent a text message to Abby, briefly talking to her about the problems he was facing, and wanted to see if she could make Loew regain his confidence. Soon Abby's text message came back, the content was simpler than what Ye Feng had sent, with only a few words: affirmation, encouragement, and honor. Ye Feng thought about it carefully, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: he knew what to say to Loew.

Finding his way of thinking, Ye Feng's mood instantly became relaxed, he emptied the food on the plate by dividing it by two, and hurriedly walked towards the dormitory. Along the way, Ye Feng was afraid that he would forget the words in the middle of speaking, and he rehearsed silently several times in his heart. There is no one who can do Ye Feng's job with his roommates and teammates, although the task of this pit father was given to him by Holland, but he is indeed very concerned about Loew's psychological state, even more than he is worried about the team's record. Ye Feng is not afraid of the team's loss to Kansas State, he is more worried that Loew will lose confidence because of this.

When he returned to the dormitory, Ye Feng saw Loew sitting on a chair alone, neither turning on the computer nor looking at his mobile phone, just sitting in a daze, his eyes a little confused. Ye Feng sighed secretly, moved his chair over and sat opposite Loew. Seeing Ye Feng sit down, Love's eyes shone slightly, and he glanced up at Ye Feng, but still didn't speak.

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Kevin, you're going to Manhattan, Kansas tomorrow, are you still worried about your showdown with Beasley?" Loew was silent for a while, then whispered, "I'm afraid I'll lose, that guy is really too strong, I feel like I'm likely to be beaten by him." Ye Feng asked again: "Why are you afraid that you will lose?" Loew's voice was lower: "Because he's more famous in the NCAA than I am, and he has an advantage in stats." ”

I'll go, what is this? Did you surrender before you even started? Ye Feng hated the iron and shouted: "Kevin, raise your head!" You're our UCLA backbone and you're going to back down before the game even starts? What's the difference between this and desertion? Loew raised his head slowly, but there was still some fear in his eyes, and he saw Ye Feng shaking his head again and again, but now it was time to catch the ducks on the shelves, and if it didn't work, it would have to work.

After being silent for a while, Ye Feng lowered his voice and said slowly: "Kevin, you have to believe that you are already an excellent player, what if Beasley is a genius?" You are not weak, and there is no need to put yourself in the position of a weakling. I know Beasley is strong, but he can't surpass you in every aspect, you must have something stronger than him. And you know what? Now that you're a top interior player in the NCAA, you have to have the pride and dignity of being a top interior player! ”

"Besides, what is Kansas? No matter how strong they are, they are just a team from another region, and this game has nothing to do with our record in our own division. But this game is not unimportant, and if, I mean, in the end, we don't get a direct spot to the tournament, then the NCAA executives will be watching us and other teams in the region, and it's likely that this game will determine whether or not we can continue this season. And you're not fighting alone, me, Russell, Richard, Josh, and the rest of your teammates, we're all on your side. We have always been your strongest backing, so what do you have to fear? ”

"Kevin, I have to say, you're important to us, not just in this game, but from the start of the season to now, you've been our most trusted inside barrier and the most consistent point of scoring when we can't play on the outside. This game is your battle, let go of everything to show your strength, prove that you are the stronger inside! ”
