Chapter 30: The Flu Strikes

College life is pleasant, but Ye Feng does not allow himself to indulge, except for classes, training and competitions, his greatest pleasure is to bring back stacks of books as thick as bricks from the library, stay in the dormitory while flipping through and writing and drawing in his notebook. Westbrook, who often came to the dormitory www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, was fortunate enough to be the second person after Loew to see this scene, but when he opened a book casually and saw the obscure content in the book that was almost incomprehensible, he could only give Ye Feng a thumbs up speechlessly.

Although Westbrook is not a top student, he knows that the content of these books is obviously beyond the level of Ye Feng's current freshman year, but the dense handwriting on Ye Feng's notebook shows that he is not just pretending to be these books, but really has his own ideas about the content in them.

Westbrook once curiously asked Ye Feng why he still studied so seriously, in his opinion, the strength of his partner can definitely allow him to enter the lotto area, and it is not impossible to be in the top five or even the top three. Facing Westbrook's question, Ye Feng smiled faintly and replied: "For me, there is no conflict between studying and basketball, even if I will enter the NBA in the future, but now on the college campus, I still hope to be able to learn more things, at least this is an explanation of my college experience." ”

The days passed, and Ye Feng's life was still in order. He and Westbrook quickly became the league's super-backcourt, with many pundits even asserting that beating UCLA would have to be a first-class backcourt combination to beat them, and that the only way to beat this powerhouse might have to wait for them to show their flaws.

Thanks to its super backyard, UCLA won four consecutive games in the 10-university league, and in addition to USC, Stanford University, the University of California, Berkeley, and HSD State University have also become the ghosts of the Bruins. This time, UCLA will travel to Ames, Iowa, to take on the Iowa State University Whirlwinds of the Big Twelve League, the same team that followed Abby on the street court.

The distance between California and Iowa is not small, fortunately, UCLA is well-known in the United States, and their investment in the Bruins is far from comparable to that of ordinary schools. However, in the United States, many children who want to get ahead through basketball are not from good families, and sitting with teammates and chatting and farting can also make a long journey less boring, so in the end, the whole team sat in economy class without objection.

When this group of tall young people lined up into the cabin, many passengers unconsciously turned their heads to look at them, and their eyes were full of curiosity. Although there are several professional basketball teams in Los Angeles, the NBA's Lakers, Clippers and the WNBA's Sparks, as a professional team they all have their own charter flights, and it's not uncommon for the children of these obviously basketball players to fly in one go. But then again, if a superstar like Kobe Bryant came to take the flight, presumably the passengers who were there would be excited to go up and ask for autographs.

The Bruins players quickly coordinated their positions, and the school would just book their seats together, and it was their own business to distribute them once they boarded. Ye Feng, Loew and Westbrook naturally sat in a row, everyone knew that the three of them usually had a very strong relationship in private, and they also smiled heartily when they saw this.

After the passengers boarded the plane, the flight attendant gently reminded everyone to fasten their seat belts, and then the plane began to take off. Ye Feng went to the central region of the United States for the first time to play away, although he was not nervous, he still regarded this trip as his previous trip with his parents. To kill time, he pulled out a book from his bag and read it with relish.

Westbrook, who was sitting next to him, rolled his eyes when he saw this: "Ye, we are going to play against the Whirlwind team in the evening, don't you take advantage of this time on the plane to rest for a while?" Ye Feng smiled and said, "Anyway, it didn't get to Iowa so soon, did it?" Being idle is also idle, it's better to read a book. ”

Westbrook muttered, "Perverted! He himself easily figured out the blankets and eye patches that were given to each passenger on the flight, and comfortably sat down on the wide seat and closed his eyes to recuperate. In his opinion, it is better to pass the time with books than to rest and recuperate, after all, Iowa State is not a weak team.

Looking at Westbrook, who was curled up in his seat, Ye Feng shook his head helplessly and continued to look at the book in his hand. However, in order to catch the plane, he got up early this morning, and even had less obvious dark circles under his eyes, while the other teammates, everyone was in a variety of positions, but they were all doing the same thing - sleeping. Love, in particular, who was sitting on the other side, snored slightly, apparently because he watched the NBA game live last night.

However, Ye Feng himself did not resist the overwhelming sleepiness, and before he could read a few pages of the book, he fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't wake him up even when the book fell on the ground. By the time he was woken up, the plane had already landed at the airport in Ames City, and his teammates had already begun to pack their luggage, and Ye Feng was the only one who needed an assistant coach to wake him up.

Seeing Blake's speechless expression, Ye Feng smiled awkwardly, quickly packed up his things, and walked off the plane with everyone. However, as soon as he stepped out of the hatch, Ye Feng couldn't help but shiver, but none of his teammates noticed his abnormality, and Ye Feng also felt that it was just because the temperature changed too quickly, so naturally he didn't pay attention to it.

As one of the most popular teams in the NCAA right now, the UCLA Bruins attracted a large number of local reporters, and when they boarded the bus to the door of their hotel, they were surrounded by countless microphones, cameras and magnesium lights, all eager to get something out of the team. However, the whole team was already familiar with such a formation, and a few casual words of the scene sent the reporters with eager faces and fiery eyes, and fought their way out of the encirclement with the help of the hotel security guards.

I have to say that Holland is a good coach who is sympathetic to the players, and he has seen that Ye Feng is in urgent need of sleep on the plane, so after a short rest, he just told Ye Feng to have a good rest in the room, and he took the rest of the players to the Iowa State University Gymnasium to familiarize themselves with the venue. As for why Ye Feng is so sleepy, Holland did not break the casserole and asked in the end, his original words were "No matter what the reason, the lack of sleep has to be made up, which is the prerogative of our UCLA players."

At half past seven in the evening, the huge stadium was full, and the reporters on the sidelines had already set up long guns and short guns, and the cameras were all aimed at the players' tunnels on both sides. Although this is the home of the Iowa Grand Cyclone, judging by the jerseys worn by the spectators, there are still many UCLA fans in attendance to cheer on the team. After three warm-up games and four regular season games, UCLA's team with a soaring style of play and a brilliant tactical combination has stood out in the league and has attracted a large number of fans. If it weren't for this game against the Whirlwinds, many of Iowa's students would have been cheering for UCLA.

Soon the two teams entered one after another, with the leader of the UCLA side, of course, being the captain of the team, Westbrook, and the others lining up according to their status on the team, following him into the court, raising their hands to greet the surrounding audience. As the starting five stood in the center of the court, applause and cheers swept across the court, paying tribute to one of the best teams in college basketball in the United States today, as well as their affection for these players.

But after all, it was someone else's home field, and when the members of the Iowa State Cyclones came out, the sound of the audience instantly increased by several decibels. First up is also their starting lineup, point guard Brian Peterson, shooting guard Dean Garrett, small forward Wesley Johnson, power forward Craig Blaggins, and center Jiri Hubalek. Obviously, it can be seen that the two interior lines of the Whirlwind team have a certain height advantage in the opposite position, but in the end, they are still an outside-oriented team, and it is still a question whether they can make full use of their interior height to make a fuss.

After the players of both teams came on the field, it was immediately followed by a warm-up. Simple shooting, layups, stretching the body, moving the joints, the warm-up of both sides seemed tepid, but anyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm, and when the game starts, there will be a real battle of knives and guns, like a raging storm.

Westbrook, Bamott, Shipp and Loew were all very serious about warming up, and this was UCLA's first game outside of their division of the season and there was no room for error. But it didn't seem that Ye Feng noticed this, he simply moved his body, and then casually shot a few baskets outside the three-point line, and was about to walk to the bench.

Seeing Ye Feng's absent-minded look, Westbrook came over and frowned and said, "Ye, haven't you slept enough?" We're going to play later. Loew smiled bitterly on the side: "I should have overslept, Ye Ke slept all afternoon." Ye Feng waved his hand, yawned, and said lazily: "I think I did oversleep, and I always felt a little unmotivated." But don't worry, it'll be fine when we play. ”

Westbrook didn't let him go easily, but looked at Ye Feng carefully, and said in a low voice, "You won't be sick, will you?" It doesn't look like you're looking good. Ye Feng was taken aback: "Impossible, right?" Westbrook said solemnly, "Let Mr. Marshall show you first." After speaking, he directly pulled Ye Feng to the bench.

After listening to Westbrook's words, Marshall's brows furrowed tightly, and even the faces of Holland and Blake were not good-looking. Marshall hurriedly took out a thermometer from the medical box and clamped it under Ye Feng's armpit, and soon the results of the examination came out, Marshall's expression was very serious: "Ye is now having a low-grade fever, which should be caused by the flu, I suggest that he be rested in this game, the record is far less important than the player." ”

Low-grade fever? At this time?
