After the end of the draft, the days passed quickly, and after packing his bags and leaving UCLA, Ye Feng continued to do all kinds of workouts at home, and by the way, he could also watch the live broadcast of the NBA Finals. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This season's NBA Finals is played between the two oldest giant teams - the Lakers and the Celtics, from the list of players, the two sides are almost the same, the Lakers are led by Kobe, supplemented by Gasol, Bynum and Odom's "three high" combination; But the Celtics' roster is even more star-studded, with Danny Ainge running them amassing three of the biggest stars in their final career, Pierce, Garnett and Ray Allen.

In the end, the Celtics won 66-16 this season, and easily defeated the Lakers 4-2 in the Finals to successfully reach the top, and the NBA began the era of superstar huddles. Of course, the Celtics' championship is also an incentive for the Trail Blazers, who now have four potential rising stars in the team, and if they are well trained, they may not fail to achieve great things in the future. Ye Feng also thought of this, the star group needs them to have a good relationship, or have the idea of "if you don't win the championship at this time, you will never be able to win the championship again", so that the stars who are in their playing years can be traded to the same team, but the Trail Blazers are different, they choose to cultivate superstars themselves, so that they can at least take advantage of the player's low salary to hit the championship.

According to the practice of NBA teams, although the preseason is still a while, many players have begun to spontaneously organize teammates to train, and as the actual leader and captain of the team, Roy directly called Ye Feng's mobile phone: "Ye, I am organizing a mini training camp recently, and some of the players of our team are all on our team. If you're interested, you can come to Portland in three days. Of course, this camp is not mandatory, but you haven't played a single official NBA game yet, and I personally think you should come to the camp because it's good for you to settle into the team and adjust to the NBA. ”

Ye Feng didn't expect Roy to be able to talk to himself in this tone of discussion and persuasion, didn't he say that the old players in the league like to renovate the new players? At the very least, it should be commanding, right? This is what he thinks badly, the NBA does have this kind of unwritten rule, but first of all, Roy is only a rookie in 2006, and he is only a third-year player at the beginning of the new season, not much older than Ye Feng, and he has no idea of acting as an old qualification; Secondly, Roy has an old personality and takes good care of the young players who have joined the team, and the reason why he persuaded Ye Feng to come to the training camp instead of giving orders in a tough tone is also closely related to his own character.

Being able to participate in the team's training camp before the preseason is naturally a good thing that cannot be desired, Ye Feng quickly agreed, and determined the time and place with Roy. Because it was a training camp organized by himself, Roy did not put the training ground in the Rose Garden Arena, but rented the gymnasium of Portland State University. This is also for the sake of convenience, as Portland is the only university in the entire state of Oregon that is located in the heart of the city, which makes it easier for the players to get around. And to Ye Feng's surprise, Roy has already applied for a rental house for him as the captain of the team, which is indeed something that NBA teams often do for some players, but if you want to solve it so quickly in the offseason, it is not the team captain's final say, and the management of the Trail Blazers attaches great importance to himself.

Guo Yu was naturally very reluctant to give up her son who was about to travel far away, but she still carefully packed Ye Feng's luggage and packed it in the largest suitcase in the family. Ye Feng said with a cry and laughter on the side: "Mom, I'm just going to Portland, you don't even need to bring me pillows and quilts, right?" I think it's enough to bring some protective gear for playing and a few sets of clothes that you usually wear. Guo Yu's eyes widened and he said, "How do you know that Portland won't change the sky?" Do you know if you are prepared? Besides, the pillows and quilts are all used to you, isn't your mother afraid that you won't be used to living there? ”

Ye Feng hurriedly turned his eyes for help to his father, Ye Ning coughed, and said: "Wife, our sons have grown up, and they are going to make a name for themselves in the NBA in the future, what pillows and quilts should he go over there to buy them again, let's leave these at home, and wait for him to come back in the offseason or Christmas or something, why don't you just come back and use them?" Guo Yu thought about it, so he let Ye Feng stuff the pillow and quilt back into his closet. Ye Feng secretly gave his father a thumbs up: Master, this convinces my mother who never gives in on this kind of issue, amazing!

After packing up his things, looking at his son, who had grown up and was about to embark on another journey in his life, Ye Ning said earnestly: "Son, before leaving, I will only send you four words, neither humble nor arrogant. The team thinks a lot of attention to you, but at the end of the day you're just a rookie and you have a lot of people on top of you. As a professional player, it is my duty to obey the coach's arrangement, and I believe that with your ball intelligence and ability, it is not much of a problem to gain a foothold in the Trail Blazers. If someone else bullies you, then you have to fight back fiercely, whether on or off the field, is it still a man when the turtle shrinks its head? ”

Ye Ning thought for a while and continued: "Don't be busy fighting for the tactical position first, everything is according to the coach's arrangement." Judging by their willingness to send Webster, you should be the team's starting small forward this season, which is good, at least you have a relatively high starting point. As long as you perform well, then the tactical position will naturally improve, and there is no need to get into trouble with your teammates because of this. Although the NBA is a business league and it is natural to fight for one's own interests, since you are working on the same goal on a team, you must maintain a relatively good relationship with your teammates so that you can work together. If you don't like each other, you may end up being traded by the team, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Ye Feng nodded solemnly, bowed to his father and mother, dragged his suitcase and turned around and left the house, and walked forward without hesitation. Looking at her son's distant back, Guo Yu's tears finally flowed, and she threw herself into her husband's arms and sobbed softly. Ye Ning also had the urge to cry, after all, his role now was that of a father, a father who watched his son leave home and embark on his own path. But he is proud to have such a son, although he used to be a professional player, but the Spanish league is far from being comparable to the NBA, which is the highest temple of world basketball, he once hoped that he could also leave a footprint on the NBA court, but he did not do it until he retired, and now, his son has fulfilled his dream.

Ye Feng is not a mother-in-law, although he is leaving Los Angeles for another city, he is just a little nostalgic, but he is not sad. The transportation system in the United States is very well-developed, and NBA players do not mean that they are completely free from vacation, and it is good to go home and see when they have an empty team and no practice. Since he was going to be in Portland for a long time this time, Ye Feng did not choose to take a plane, but drove his car along the highway to Portland. He wasn't familiar with this route, because he didn't have to drive himself when the team was away from home, but fortunately there was GPS navigation in the car, so he didn't have to worry about getting lost.

After 16 hours, Ye Feng finally arrived in Portland, a city that is likely to be fighting here for several seasons in the future. When he drove off the NW-6th-Ave, the genius was bright, Ye Feng looked at his watch, it was only seven o'clock in the morning, he wondered where to have breakfast, and then drove to Portland State University. He suddenly remembered a pancake that Abby had introduced to him earlier, although it is a traditional breakfast or lunch staple in Western families, but the popular Original-Pancake-House began in Portland and spread to 28 states across the country, this pancake shop has a history of more than 50 years, it was founded in 1953 by Les Haight and Irma Huneck. Thinking of this, Ye Feng quickly found this pizza shop on the GPS and drove there under the guidance of the navigator.

The store opens at 6:30 a.m., and even though it's only 7 a.m., there are already a lot of hurried office workers gobbling up at the table. Looking at the menu, Ye Feng did not hesitate to order the two largest pancakes in the store - apple pancakes and Dutch baby pancakes, and asked for a cup of coffee at the same time. I have to say that the pancakes in this shop are indeed very good, the filling of the apple pancakes is chopped Australian green apples and cinnamon from Xinjiang, China, although the Dutch baby pancakes have no filling, but they add lemon juice, cream and powdered sugar to the flour, and the taste is also very good, as a person who is used to Chinese breakfast, Ye Feng is quite satisfied.

After eating breakfast and putting the money and tips on the table together, Ye Feng stood up and pushed the door to leave the hot pizza shop, and secretly added it to his food collection. When he drove to the gates of Portland State University, Roy was already standing waiting for him. Ye Feng was surprised, quickly parked the car, took out his jersey and sneakers from the trunk, and walked towards Roy in three steps and two steps. With a smile on his face, Roy stepped forward, gave Ye Feng a big hug, and said loudly:

"Ye, welcome to Portland, welcome to our 'Ripping City'!"
