Chapter 183: Be a Lakers fan again

Ye Feng is sincerely happy that the Lakers eliminated the Nuggets and entered the finals, although the Trail Blazers lost at the feet of the Lakers, but since he came into contact with basketball, he has been a Lakers fan, not to mention that Kobe Bryant also pointed him out, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the two are also teachers and friends. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info So when the team you play for is eliminated, isn't it normal to be a Lakers fan again? Losing to the final champion, it sounds better to say this!

Ye Feng did not hesitate to book tickets for all the home games of the Lakers Finals online, he had no interest in flying to Orlando in the southeast, but as a fan living in Los Angeles, the Lakers' home tickets must be bought. Although his rookie contract is not very large, it is only relative to the first-list stars, in fact, as the No. 6 pick, he can also get nearly $3 million in his rookie season, not including the bonus of being a top four in the West, reaching the playoffs and reaching the Western Conference semifinals, Paul Allen is definitely not stingy in this regard. So although the tickets for the finals are not cheap, Ye Feng can still afford them.

This is where we have to mention the way NBA teams pay their salaries. Generally speaking, it will be paid once every half a month, 12 times a year, and the salary will be paid for 6 months with the competition, and there will be no money for the remaining 6 months; Players and teams can negotiate some minor changes, such as from 12 to 24 per year, such as a partial salary advance before the start of the season. In addition, since about 10% of the player's salary is placed in the league's EscrowFund, which is used to cover possible overall salary overruns, it may also be paid back after the settlement of each season, if there is a surplus in this salary.

On weekdays, Ye Feng is still very frugal in spending money, because he doesn't go to bars, nightclubs, and doesn't go on vacation all over the world when he is on vacation, he will only use every minute and every second to train himself, and the salary he gets basically doesn't cost much except for meals and rent. Now he is a little rich no matter what he says, so when he bought tickets, he also planned to buy a few tickets for his parents, but Ye Ning told him to save the extra money, or use it to invest or something, he and Ye Feng's mother didn't go to the scene to watch the game, it was more comfortable for them to be at home.

Ye Feng couldn't resist his father, so he bought four tickets to the home court of the Lakers Finals, of course, if the Lakers don't need to play so many games, the remaining tickets can still be refunded. The first game of the finals was on the evening of June 4th, after Ye Feng had dinner, he drove his father's car to the Staples Center, and his own car was thrown directly in Portland, and he didn't think about buying another one. This kid still doesn't think of himself as a rich man subconsciously, and now for him, millions of luxury cars can't be bought, those hundreds of thousands are trivial, and it's okay to buy one and keep it at home.

Originally, Ye Feng thought that he had arrived early, but when he drove a kilometer away from the Staples Center, he realized how ridiculous his thoughts were. Not to mention the hustle and bustle of the sidewalks with Lakers jerseys, and almost every street is jammed with canned sardines, and it takes a few minutes to move a little bit ahead. Ye Feng patted his forehead, smiled self-deprecatingly, and relied on his familiarity with Los Angeles to start looking for the nearest parking lot. Fortunately, it was not the first time he had encountered a similar situation, and after easily finding a parking space, he walked directly to the Staples Center.

In the team of ticket checkers, Ye Feng looked very different because he was not wearing the Lakers' jersey. Whether it is the fans standing in front of him or behind him, they are all wearing Lakers jerseys, whether they are home or away, and no matter whose number it is, Ye Feng looks very conspicuous in casual clothes alone. However, for the curious eyes of others, Ye Feng seemed very calm, compared to the eyes and boos of the fans when he was playing here? This little look of inquiry is simply drizzle. Fortunately, the Lakers' fans are very qualified, and there is no so-called hooligan group, Ye Feng finally walked into the arena after queuing for nearly half an hour.

He exhaled deeply: It's been a long time since I've visited the Staples Center as a fan! I wonder what kind of performance the Lakers can play tonight? As he thought, he took off his mask. Soon this Oriental face was recognized by the Lakers fans next to him, a small number of people glared at him angrily, most people ignored him, and only some fans who also paid attention to the NCAA would smile sincerely at him, and Ye Feng also bowed slightly to them. Only these people know that Ye Feng is also the pride of the city, although he is a Chinese, but since he came to the United States, he has been living in Los Angeles, and he is already a native of Los Angeles, plus the identity of Mr. Basketball and UCLA player, it is no problem to say that he is the pride of Los Angeles.

Ye Feng's position this time is very good, just a little farther behind the Lakers bench, which is already a good position with a good vision. Not long after he sat down, players from both sides entered the field one after another to start warming up. In Ye Feng's view, the Lakers players are in very good shape, and it can be seen from their shooting percentage when they warmed up on the court, and the Magic players on the opposite side are a little sluggish, I don't know if it's because they didn't fly to Los Angeles in advance to start adaptive training. Fortunately, the tallest guy, "Warcraft" Howard, was still as excited as ever, and his continuous dunks unsurprisingly provoked boos from the audience.

In fact, for the Magic, the two most important players are Howard and Turkoglou, one is the interior pillar, the other is the team's offensive organizer, the two are indispensable, and only if the two of them play normally, the Magic has the strength to compete with the Lakers. Ye Feng watched with great interest as Tekoglu and Howard practiced various combinations in a small area, and began to look forward to what kind of performance the two of them could play in the official competition. Although the Trail Blazers and Magic played each other in the regular season, the regular season and the playoffs are different, and people like Howard rarely have nervous moments in their hearts, and the playoffs can even give him a chance to play extraordinarily.

But...... Ye Feng turned his attention to the person who was trying to shoot three-point shooting in the half of the Lakers, the Lakers' No. 24, with Kobe's character, obviously would not let Howard play on the court so easily. Who will come out on top in the finals will be known later.
