Chapter 115: It's not bad
After a hard-fought victory over the Rockets, the Trail Blazers got a precious full day of rest, and with Ye Feng's urine, after the first overtime of his NBA career, it must be a good night's sleep. What do you www.biquge.info a pen, a fun, and a court? You say there's only one overtime? Please, isn't an extra time an extra time? What's more, the opposing player is still a top swingman like Maddie, and it is understandable that he will lie dead all day after the game.
As soon as he woke up, Ye Feng was still very excited, but it was not because the team ended a two-game losing streak, but because he was about to face the challenge of his college roommate Loew. Tomorrow the Trail Blazers will host the Timberwolves, Loew's team has been miserable lately, after beating the Kings in the first game of the season, they suffered a wave of four straight losses, and of course there are many pundits and fans who are optimistic about their future, thinking that they just need time to experience now, after all, they played two overtimes at home with the Spurs, and in the end they lost only 125-129, and it is clear that their roster is also very talented.
Loew is also doing well in Minnesota, if you don't consider the team's record. After sending Garnett away, the Timberwolves got a group of young talents from the Celtics, and now the team's starting center is the retro Al Jefferson, who is good at fighting for rebounds and mid-to-long-range projection, Loew, who likes this kind of partner, and the two stand high and low, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding. In addition, the Timberwolves' outside line relies on Mike Miller in the prime of life and Marbury's cousin Telfair, but judging from the data of the previous games, the inside line is the main direction of the Timberwolves' attack.
It seems that Ye Feng has just gotten up and is about to go downstairs for dinner when he receives a call from Loew, and the two have a good greeting. It's not Ye Feng's problem, everyone is a rookie who has just entered the league, training and games have taken up most of the time, even if the head coach Kaien occasionally gives him time to rest, he will basically choose to sleep in the room, and naturally there will be no time to contact his college teammates or something. But after all, they are teammates who have fought together, and this time the Timberwolves challenged the Trail Blazers away, and the team couldn't help but call Loew impatiently, thinking that he was also a person who valued feelings.
Hearing the voice that he hadn't seen for a long time, Ye Feng's heart felt warm, and he was not in a hurry to go out to eat, so he made a phone call in the living room. However, Loew's side didn't seem to be very convenient to speak, and after briefly asking the other party about the current situation, he said that he hoped to have a meal with Ye Feng before the game started. Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Why do people always want to eat with me recently?" Loew obviously thought badly, and he laughed and said, "Ye, you honestly confess, how many beautiful women have you hooked up with in Portland?" There are always people who want to eat with you, can't they arrange the time? ”
Ye Feng scolded angrily: "What hookup beauty? Yesterday the Rockets came here to play away, I had a meal with Yao Ming before the game, and today it was you, but there is always someone who wants to eat with me? Loew was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to say, "Well, your tall image in my mind doesn't seem to be shattered yet." Are you free tomorrow? If it's not convenient, next time, I'll treat you to dinner when you come to Minnesota to play away. Ye Feng smiled and said, "How can you say it as if I deliberately want to rely on you for a meal...... It's okay, I'll just go and ask our coach for a vacation, but don't think you don't have to treat me to dinner in Minnesota, and when I play away, you don't have to pay off. ”
Loew patted his chest directly on the phone, regardless of Ye Feng's ability to see this movement that looked like a gorilla. The two finalized the time and place in a few words, of course, it was Ye Feng's treat, after all, it was his home field! After saying goodbye to Loew, Ye Feng groaned slightly, and then directly called McMillan, explaining his request in a slurred manner. Although he swore by when he called just now, Ye Feng himself felt that this didn't seem to be good, it looked like he had to take a leave of absence every time he played a home game, maybe the head coach would be very angry, and the consequences would be serious.
However, McMillan's reaction was completely unexpected, and after briefly asking about the situation, McMillan didn't take it seriously at all, just had a meal with his old teammates, and he wouldn't have any opinions. The more indifferent McMillan became, the more confused Ye Feng became, in fact, this was only because he used Chinese thinking to speculate on the behavior of Americans, and for Lao Mei, as long as it was not working hours, it didn't matter what he did. And what he didn't know was that his behavior of asking for leave even to eat was considered "sensible" by McMillan, and he had a higher opinion of him, which he did not expect.
Eating with Loew was not as restrained as eating with Yao Ming, Ye Feng deliberately chose a restaurant that he often went to but looked more down-to-earth, rather than the one that looked very tall at first glance last time. This can be regarded as a separation of distant relatives, eating with Yao Ming is etiquette, and eating with Loew is friendship. He knew that his roommate was not such a caring person, and his easy-going personality was evident in college, and judging from the tone of his phone call, he was still the same young and friendly big man, and he didn't change because he entered the NBA.
At noon the next day, Loew's performance also made Ye Feng glad that he was not wrong. As soon as they met, Loew quickly stepped forward and gave Ye Feng a big hug, not displeased because this restaurant didn't look very classy, but his face was full of surprise after seeing his old friend. After taking a seat, Loew was not polite, he took the menu directly and ordered the dishes, Ye Feng didn't think it was noisy, as long as the two of them went out to eat together when they were in UCLA, Loew ordered most of the time, so this time he took over the "heavy responsibility" of ordering without hesitation, making Ye Feng seem to be back in college.
This restaurant is not large, and the speed of serving is also very fast, and before the two of them can talk a few words, three or four dishes with all colors and flavors are served by the waiter. These two were neither grinders, but they picked up their knives and forks and feasted on them. Ye Feng adhered to the "good habit" of Chinese talking about things at the dinner table, and while stuffing a piece of chicken into his mouth, he asked vaguely: "Kevin, how are you in the Timberwolves?" Is anyone hard for you? ”
Loew smiled and said: "It's not bad, at least I can start these games, although I play less than 30 minutes in each game, but I'm very satisfied, after all, I'm just a rookie!" The rest of the team has been very nice to me and now our dressing room leader is Miller, who has a good personality and a good attitude towards the newcomers. But I hear you're still trying to get started, what? Do you want to consider us playing here? The main point of attack on the outside line must be yours, and when the time comes, will Russell's expression be funny in the face of supersound? He couldn't help but make a joke.
Ye Feng also smiled, he took another bite of food, and said: "Of course, the run-in is still running-in, I am not the only young talent in our team, but I am still looking forward to the future of the team, and when our group of people fully grows up, maybe you will not be our opponent for a long time." Speaking of the matchup, the matchup is quite interesting, you are your team's starting power forward, we are Ade, you are both projection power forwards, this kind of matchup sounds very good. I'm very worried now, do you think I'm hoping you win well, or do you want you to lose? ”
Loew couldn't help but laugh and couldn't help asking, "Since you have analyzed the Tao at the head, how do you think your own performance will be?" Ye Feng didn't raise his head, and while competing with the salad on the plate with a knife and fork, he said, "Who is your team's starting small forward?" Loew trusted Ye Feng very much, and he said without hesitation: "Nine times out of ten, it is Gomez." Ye Feng recalled slightly, and a black man with a simple expression appeared in his mind, he probably thought about this guy's information, shook his head and said, "Unless your head coach makes a surprise move, there is basically no way to stop me." ”
Loew rolled his eyes: "You guy is really confident, be careful that I reveal your playing habits to McHale, so that he can quickly find a way to target you." Ye Feng smiled and raised his cup: "Did you say you would do this?" Loew also smiled, raised his glass and touched Ye Feng lightly, and said: "Of course not, I also believe that you will not say it, so as to tell you that our starting small forward is likely to be Gomez." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and drained the drink from the cup in one gulp. Ye Feng restrained his smile, silently played with the wine glass in his hand, and his tone suddenly became serious: "Kevin, I don't want to say anything more in this game, just let us play our best on the field!" While we hardly matchup, you can think of it as a real match, with data and results to decide the winner. Of course, that doesn't mean we have to see each other as enemies, even if we have to fight for our team on opposite sides, I just think it's nice to have such a strong friend as a motivator for you. ”
Loew gave him a deep look, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "This game should be the beginning of our fight, I won't lose to you." But the final winner should be determined by the number of votes for Rookie of the Year, and we have to bring Russell in, right? ”
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and nodded with a smile.
