In fact, let's not talk about things for such a long time, and now there are only a few people in the Trail Blazers who entered the league before the 1999-2000 season, including Uncle Huo in 1994, Camby in 1996 and Miller in 1999, and then ...... Nope. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info and at that time, these three players played for the Wizards, Knicks and Cavaliers, all of whom were Eastern teams, and the life and death in the Western Conference Finals had nothing to do with their half a dime, so it was difficult to have the same hatred.

However, for other Trail Blazers players, at least most of them, last season's tie-break with the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals made them more memorable, but Ye Feng's three-point kill before the end of the game was completed by Kobe Bryant when the timer was about to run out, this scene is still a pain in the hearts of Trail Blazers players. Especially Ye Feng, who is the party concerned, his mood is more complicated than others, originally that lore could make him a hero in Portland, but Kobe Bryant used his best way to make him a helpless background board. Admittedly, you can say that this is the responsibility of the whole Trail Blazers team, because no one thought of keeping an eye on Kobe, but in Ye Feng's opinion, it was all his fault, if he could have shot a little later, the Lakers would not have had the last chance to shoot.

Even though Bryant kindly interviewed him after the game, recruited him on behalf of the Lakers, and even invited him to practice together in the offseason, the game is the game, let alone the brutal Western Conference Finals. In fact, Ye Feng doesn't think that the team can easily beat the Lakers, it is obvious that this is a tough battle, and the Trail Blazers' winning chance is still quite small, at least the regular season record and ranking can say a lot of things. But Ye Feng is still ready to give the opponent a hard blow in the game, if he can drag into the tie-break, it would be better, even if he can't advance, he must let the opponent see the strength of the Trailblazers.

According to the NBA's schedule, the first game of the Western Conference Finals will be held on May 17 local time, of course, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. This time is not bad for the Trail Blazers, they have a full three days more preparation time than the Lakers, and although they need to travel to Los Angeles early, fortunately, the two places are not far apart, and it will not affect the players' physical strength. As the head coach of the team, McMillan has not increased the intensity of the players' training in the past few days, but asked the trainers to come up with a training plan to restore their strength, so that the players can better rest and recuperate in order to prepare for the upcoming game.

But there is another person in the team who always consciously trains after training, and the additional training items are all-encompassing, and that is Ye Feng. He is confident in his fitness, as evidenced by his trainer's measurements, so he always spends a little more time in the gym after each training session to continue to hone his breakthrough and shooting skills in simulated confrontations. He also knows that it is not suitable to go to the gym to practice now, and it is enough to bubble the gym according to the training plan, and if you practice in this area, it may increase the risk of injury, and it is not fun to suddenly miss the game due to injury, basically as long as one player is injured, the Trail Blazers will have no power to fight back in the Western Conference Finals.

McMillan originally wanted to stop Ye Feng's additional training, but he saw that Ye Feng's face was not red or out of breath after normal training, and the additional practice was still some breakthroughs and shots with relatively small risk coefficients, and after consulting the trainer's opinion, he gave up the idea of letting Ye Feng get out on time. However, he still sternly warned Ye Feng in private that he couldn't increase the amount of training for himself, even if his body could afford it, who knows what will happen when he overtrains now and when it comes to the official competition? The trainer was unlucky, McMillan asked him to formulate an additional training plan for Ye Feng's additional training, but it is more appropriate to draw the bottom line, in this plan, the trainer made various restrictions for him according to Ye Feng's physical condition, such as how many kilometers can not be more than can't be jogging, how many shots can not be more than under confrontation, etc., it is completely to protect Ye Feng as a rare animal, but he also deserves this treatment.

Driven by Ye Feng's silence, more and more Trail Blazers players stayed to practice after training, but their intensity was obviously reduced a lot, and they were basically practicing shooting. Veterans like Miller and Camby didn't plan to get involved, they had been in the league for too long, and they knew very well what they needed to do as a veteran at this time, nothing more than to rest and build up energy, but they didn't leave the stadium early, just went to the locker room to take a shower and sat back on the sidelines with a smile on their faces, watching the others sweat on the court.

The presence of these "old men" also has the advantage of mentoring young players, after all, their experience is a valuable asset. For them, the atmosphere of the Trail Blazers' preparation was very good, and although there was a gap in strength, they did not intend to give up the game, which also made them feel emotional, so a few people sat on the sidelines and began to point out loudly to others, and they still had fun. I have to say that their experience in the NBA for so many years is not covered, and there are some things that the coaching staff will ignore, but they can keenly see it and then tell their teammates what to do. Sometimes when I see a young player who can't understand how they shout, the old guys will walk on the pitch with great dignity and teach them hand-in-hand, which fully shows the value of the veterans.

Their behaviour saved the coaching staff a lot of work, and McMillan was very relieved to look at the players on the sidelines with a smile on their facelines. If last year's Western Conference semifinals and the Lakers played a tie-break because the Trail Blazers' newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, then this year they have further grown up, and their hard power has been greatly improved. Maybe Phil will think that the Trail Blazers are still the same team last season, but if he really thinks so, the Lakers may have to suffer a big loss, and the Trail Blazers' progress is unimaginable.

As an American, McMillan may not have heard of "grinding guns on the spot", but he knew that training before a game could still increase his chances of winning, not to mention that the Trail Blazers were now working hard every day on the team, giving him the urge to revise his training plan. Obviously, the Trail Blazers have enough fighting spirit, but can they overturn the Lakers and advance to the Finals? This kind of thing is a matter of opinion.
