Chapter 408: Rally Number
In the end, Ye Feng still accepted Westbrook's invitation, his injury recovered quickly, and now training has no effect on him, he needs to find his feeling through official games, and amateur leagues like AAU can also be, so as not to become a little unable to play because of ankle problems. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Some people have run AAU teams well, such as Earl Watson, who now plays for the Jazz, and his AAU team, EWE (Earl Watson Elite), is divided into divisions according to the age of the players, and the three levels of EWE are U15, U16 and U17 are well-known throughout the country. But in the AAU arena, it is more of a UCLA graduate team formed by Westbrook to form a team to play.
Since it was a team, Westbrook wanted to be more formal, and the training venue was naturally in the UCLA training hall, which was also the place they were most familiar with. As soon as Ye Feng walked out of the airport, he was dragged into the car by Westbrook, and then galloped towards UCLA.
While skillfully manipulating the steering wheel, Westbrook said to Ye Feng, "Dude, how are your days in the rehabilitation center?" If you let me do rehab training every day in that kind of hell place, I guess I'm going crazy. By the way, are your ankles okay now? Don't sprain again when you play on the pitch, your team boss should come and trouble me. By the way, what about your girlfriend? Why don't you bring her to see her? He whistled loudly.
Ye Feng, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said angrily: "Abby has something at home, and she will go on another flight after sending me on the plane." You don't have to worry about my ankle, but I'm personally more concerned about who is in your improvised team? All UCLA players? ”
Westbrook said proudly: "Of course, the players who have gone out of our Bruins team in recent years still have some strength, but when the time comes, we will suffer more inside, it seems that Kevin is the only one, and the kid who ran for the election this year I think he can learn more from the old-timers on the bench." ”
Ye Feng knew that he was talking about Honeycut, but AAU is only an amateur league after all, and everyone came to find their form after the NBA was suspended, so it was nothing to let newcomers play more. He laughed, "Don't be an old-timer, make it look like you're old." I think it would be good for his career to get Taylor on the court and feel the atmosphere of the game, and isn't this guy a swingman in the number three or four position? Just put it up and partner with Kevin! ”
Westbrook hurriedly raised a middle finger: "You still say that I always call myself an old-timer, and you're not much better, right?" It sounds like your tone is similar to our coach, why don't you work part-time as our coach? Don't worry, I won't pay you. ”
Ye Feng returned a middle finger, and didn't continue to take the stubble, he didn't think about the coach or anything at all, after all, the first priority was to find the state.
Soon Westbrook's sports car stopped at the door of the UCLA training hall, looking at the familiar door, Ye Feng smiled, dragged his luggage out of the trunk, and walked into the training hall with Westbrook that had been here countless times.
Westbrook did not take Ye Feng back to the locker room, but went to the training ground to meet his teammates first. It's full of familiar faces, even if they haven't played alongside UCLA, they've played against each other in the NBA, and the only one who isn't familiar is this year's rookie Tyler Hornycart, and it's obvious that this guy is a little nervous, after all, he's facing last season's NBA champion and Finals MVP.
Ye Feng smiled at him and continued to shake hands with the other teammates. Needless to say, he was also the first player to arrive at the training hall, Afralo had participated in the NBA draft before Ye Feng and Loew entered the school, but he had a good relationship with Westbrook, and Aiwu and Wuxia also had a good attitude towards Ye Feng. Another player who joined is everyone's big brother, Trevor Ariza, the 43rd pick in the second round in 2004, when he was with the Lakers, he played against Ye Feng a lot, this time to play side by side on the same team, both of them laughed and released their suspicions with a hug.
Ariza is indeed the dream partner of every player, he is conscientious on the defensive end, and he can also contribute on the offensive end, and he has become the league's top 3D player in several seasons with the Lakers. Although it looks like it will be difficult for the two to start at the same time, who knows what will happen at AAU? Ye Feng is also a player who has played in the No. 4 position.
Matt Barnes mentioned by Westbrook did not appear on the training ground, and Ye Feng only learned that Barnes was still on vacation abroad and had no time or interest in coming back to participate in the AAU competition. This made him breathe a sigh of relief, although Barnes is an older senior than Ariza, but his temper is also well known, if he really plays in the same team, Ye Feng doesn't know how to get along with him.
It's a lot better now, although there is one less person than expected, but the intensity of the game against AAU like five starters and one substitute can be said to be comfortable. And all six of them are in a period of energy, the oldest Ariza is only 26 years old this year, and the youngest Honeycutter is only 21 years old, so it is not difficult for them to play more than 40 minutes per game. In fact, players like Ariza and Ye Feng do often play 40 minutes a game in the NBA.
How, everyone is young, and they quickly became together, Honeycutt, as the youngest of the generation, was a little reserved at first, but was soon infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere of other people, and joined the discussion of the seniors with great interest.
Westbrook's team as a whole is very strong, he and Loew are already new stars in the league, Ye Feng is the new Finals MVP, Ariza has also won the championship with the team, and even Afflalo averaged 12.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game in the regular season last season, and has gained a firm foothold in the Nuggets. The only weakness is Honeycutter, but Ye Feng doesn't think there's any problem, it's too boring for five masters to team up.
Because Ye Feng's main purpose is to find form, and he has just recovered from injury, he consciously served as the team's substitute, so the five people who started were point guard Westbrook, point guard Afflalo, small forward Ariza, big forward Honeycutter, and center Loew.
