Chapter 137: All-Star Weekend (2)

"Hey buddy, hello, although it's not the first time we've met, but Ye's friend is my friend. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" A muffled voice sounded behind Ye Feng, and a big hand also reached out from the side, there was no doubt that it was Oden, who had followed Ye Feng to participate in the Rookie Challenge, and was also his best friend in the Trail Blazers. Loew and Westbrook looked at each other and quickly stepped forward to take Auden's hand. That's right, for them, Ye Feng's friends are also their friends, not to mention that everyone has already fought in the game, and they also admire this Trailblazer's inside big man very much.

But before the four of them could chat, a guy in a suit and leather shoes walked over. It's not the first time Ye Feng has seen him, he has played against the team led by this guy in the eighth game of this season, although the Trailblazers won by 8 points in the end, he still scored a game-high 36 points, proving that he is still the "Flash" who blocked and killed God and Buddha in the finals. Yes, that's the coach of this year's first-year rookie team, league superstar Wade, and Ye Feng's idol all along. The last time he challenged the Heat away, Ye Feng didn't have much time to talk to Wade, maybe he hadn't shown his head at that time and was not taken seriously by Wade, this time he had to ask for an autograph, Ye Feng even had a signature pen and Wade's genuine jersey ready.

However, Wade didn't give him a chance to come up and get acquainted, for the simple reason that he wanted to get acquainted with the rookies who were temporarily under him. Although there are some people he already knows, such as Beasley, others are basically just a quick glance or a few glances at the draft, and they are really not familiar. Therefore, it is still necessary to recognize the face, which can also allow him to quickly select the team's starting lineup. Even if it's just a game that looks more entertaining, Wade is always looking for a win, which is very similar to his usual temperament, otherwise how could he have won the championship and been crowned FMVP in the third season of his career?

After walking around the crowd, Wade had a little idea of this rookie, and he quickly figured out the team's starting lineup. UCLA went all the way to the championship last year in the tournament stage, and now their three core players are all in one place, and even a fool will put them together. In addition, Wade is ready to leave another position in the backcourt to Rose, and in any case, the Chicago boy has played enough stats to match his position, even if it is a two-point guard with Westbrook. As for the starting power forward, Wade naturally has to take care of his teammate Beasley, and Loew is completely okay to play center.

When he explained his arrangement to the players, everyone's mood was very different. Ye Feng, Westbrook and Loew were of course happy, this was something they had always dreamed of before, but they didn't expect Wade to take the initiative to mention it, so they didn't have to think about anything more now. Ross was in a strange mood, and although he was a little depressed to partner with a UCLA player who snatched his NCAA championship, he was still looking forward to it, after all, only life-and-death opponents knew each other better, and he knew the strength of the UCLA troika very well. Beasley is a completely natural expression, he has always been such a personality, and with the guest coach being the boss of his own team, he thinks he should start himself.

The other rookies who did not become the starters were a little depressed, especially Mayo, Gordon and a few other players who performed well and were in high order, they didn't think they were worse than Wade, but there was no way, the coach just took this bite and directly accepted the fate, and besides, playing as a substitute in such a game does not mean that there is a lack of playing time, and if there is no deep hatred, everyone must go on the court for a walk. However, the worst mood has to be Oden, as the champion in 2007, he thought that he could start, so that he could partner with his good friend Ye Feng, but he didn't expect to be directly demoted to a substitute by Wade, how could the mood be beautiful? I almost hugged Wade's thigh and cried.

Howard also quickly selected a second-year starting lineup, with Pistons guard Starkey and 76ers' Thaddeus Young partnering the backcourt, the Thunder's two core players besides Westbrook at the third and fourth positions: Kevin Durant and Jeff Green, and the center position was played by the Hawks' Horford. Seeing Howard send Horford to play center, Oden was ready to move again, you must know that in the 2006-07 NCAA Finals, although Ohio State finally lost to the University of Florida, but Oden, who was injured in his right hand, suppressed the opponent's inside, and the starting center of Florida was Horford. But Wade has already made up his mind to let Loew play the No. 5 position, and Oden's hope of fighting again can only be disappointed.

In fact, there is a lot of pressure on the first grade this year, because since 2001, the winners of the All-Star Rookie Challenge have all been the sophomore team, which means that the first grade has not won for eight consecutive years, and it is undoubtedly a shame to continue to lose. Of course, everyone is still at the age when newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they don't think that there is anything terrible about the "seniors" who are one year older, and they even hold back their strength to defeat their opponents. But they also don't want to think about it, is the sophomore team so easy to deal with? At least the other party has one more season of experience than himself, and that is not for nothing. Besides, they also have Durant, who has grown into a first-class scorer, and it will be quite difficult to wash away the shame of eight consecutive losses in the first year.

But Westbrook and Loew and even Oden are very confident, and their confidence comes entirely from Ye Feng, even Westbrook, who is Durant's teammate, has full confidence that his good brother can give his current teammate a little color on the court. Don't get me wrong, it's not because he's dissatisfied with Durant in the team, after all, now everyone is their own master, and he prefers to support Ye Feng who is opposite Durant. didn't say it, the friendship is there, Westbrook normally doesn't help his relatives, Ye Feng and his relationship are much closer than Durant's.

Of course, Ye Feng himself is also gearing up to compete with Durant, the All-Star is not as good as the regular season, and the defense is very loose most of the time, and it is not difficult to surpass Durant in statistics, it depends on whether he is willing or not.
