Chapter 156: Comeback is the most painful thing
In a rare resonance that Ye Feng did not comfort his failed teammates, he is now being evaluated for his injuries at the UCLA Medical Center, accompanied by Roberts, the team doctor of the Trail Blazers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 This is one of the best hospitals on the West Coast of the United States, and of course it is also the designated hospital for the UCLA Bruins, and the doctor who examined him is even a UCLA fan. When he saw Ye Feng, he froze for a moment, then opened his mouth as if he could stuff a light bulb, hurriedly stood up from behind his desk, took out a signature book from the drawer and handed it to Ye Feng. For a fan, it is undoubtedly exciting to meet his idol, and it is understandable to ask for an autograph by the way.
After Long Feifeng signed his name on the signature book, Ye Feng followed the little nurse with peach blossoms in his eyes to take X-rays. This inspection took a bit long, and he did everything that should be done and what should not be done, which was strongly requested by Roberts, and Ye Feng annoyed him the most about this, everything was like the sky was about to fall, so he couldn't be calm? Roberts will definitely smack him in the face when he knows, such a calm team doctor can already roll up the cover and get out, as a team doctor of a professional team, no matter how careful he is, he just did some more examinations, which is nothing.
The results of the evaluation were very optimistic, X-rays showed that Ye Feng's injuries were basically healed, and the doctor who asked him for an autograph also vowed that he could now play ball. Seeing the text message sent by Roberts, McMillan did not doubt the professional ethics of others, but he did not plan to put Ye Feng directly in the starting lineup. In his opinion, players who have just returned from injury must also carry out certain protection, such as reducing playing time, not letting him start is obviously for his good, and it is very simple to play a full 12 minutes in the fourth quarter.
After returning from the UCLA Medical Center, almost the entire team knew about Ye Feng's comeback. As a professional player, you can't drink alcohol between games, so a group of people crammed Ye Feng's room full with all kinds of juices, and everyone was expressing their joy. It's a pity that the way they expressed it was to pat Ye Feng's shoulder desperately, Roy and Fernandez said that the two guys Otlo and Auden were almost killed, and the palm the size of a pu fan was not empty at all, so they slapped it directly, making Ye Feng grin, and even had an urge to go back to the medical center to assess the shoulder injury.
No way, the first game was too aggrieved, and I always felt that I couldn't make it stronger, of course, the main reason was the natural gap in strength, but the players of the Trail Blazers still comforted themselves and said that it was related to the incomplete lineup on their side, although even if Ye Feng played, he might not be able to overturn the Lakers. Now that Ye Feng has returned from injury, it can be regarded as a shot in the arm for them, and the morale that was originally a little low has been raised unconsciously, Ye Feng didn't expect that he would be mixed in the team in just one season, and even Roy, who had a calm face, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his task in the next game would be greatly reduced. Ye Feng almost wanted to scold, what are you doing looking at me with the eyes of a dead man? Isn't it just to compete with Kobe? I admit it!
After venting the frustration in their hearts, everyone went back to their respective rooms to rest, and there was still training in the afternoon, so there was no delay. Ye Feng lay on the bed alone and looked at the ceiling, listening to Oden's snoring while secretly thinking about the situation of the next game. It is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing to be a starter, now my state is not very good, and I still need to find a feeling in the game, in terms of Phil's urine, it is normal to continue to play the wing combination of Kobe and Ariza, no matter how it is aligned, it is difficult to score on the offensive end, and when defending, Roy may be directly rushed to defend Kobe, after all, he is the boss of the team, and it is nothing to be a little brother by himself. Thinking about it, he fell asleep to Oden's snoring, and he had no idea that McMillan wasn't going to start the team.
The afternoon training went smoothly, Ye Feng didn't feel any problems with his ankles, and he was doing all kinds of movements wantonly on the court, and Roberts seemed to be frightened when he saw Roberts on the sidelines. Seeing Roberts' blue face, McMillan put down the tactical board in his hand, walked over to him and said, "What are you worried about?" Isn't it nice that Ye is like this now? ”
Roberts sighed and said, "I just don't think it's a good thing that he just recovered from injury and has no scruples......"
McMillan interrupted him: "Who said that?" That's a good thing. Not to mention that he was only slightly injured this time, how many players are afraid of being injured again after returning from injury, so they are afraid of being injured again during the game, and then gradually lose their former edge. ”
Watching Ye Feng complete a strong slam dunk after a fast break, McMillan continued: "I know exactly what you think man, but what he needs now is to run around the court. Of course I'm going to take that into account as well, and I'm going to put him off the bench in this game and reduce the playing time appropriately. ”
The head coach and the team doctor discussed the results of Ye Feng's powerlessness at all, and could only watch Batum continue to serve as the team's starting small forward. According to McMillan's plan, he will form a wing in the rotation with Outlaw, in other words, he will play a shooting guard that he hasn't played in the entire regular season, and unless he gets into a tough battle in the fourth quarter, the No. 3 position is not a thought.
Ye Feng did not resist, as soon as the words of the coach in a professional team are holy decrees, no one can violate them, and those who do so will basically be sent away by the management; Second, it's already exciting to be able to get yourself on the field, and at this time, do you still have to worry about whether to start or substitute?
However, it is a pity for Ye Feng not to be able to play against Kobe for a long time, he suffered a defeat under Kobe in the regular season, not only did the team lose, but his personal data also fell behind. After a season of training, he is eager to see how far he is from Kobe Bryant and whether he can beat him once before Kobe retires.
In any case, it's best for the coach to be able to get himself on the court, and it's not bad to be the team's backup shooting guard, and if the starters continue to dig holes, they still have a chance to fill them up, unlike the first game where you can sit on the bench and do nothing.
The Lakers are strong, the Lakers are stronger in the playoffs, but what does it matter? As long as you come back, you have to fight to the death.
