One table, two glasses of wine, two people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The wine is an ordinary cocktail, and no professional player still goes to the small bar to order a spirit like whiskey after the training camp starts, but people are not ordinary people, Ye Feng and Roy sat face to face, looking at each other quietly. Fortunately, the location of this table is relatively remote, and most of it is hidden in the dark, otherwise this small corner would be crowded with crazy fans because of the fame of the two people in Portland.

Ye Feng was actually very puzzled, and when Roy stopped him after the training and said that he wanted to invite him to a drink, he was a little shocked and a little funny. In fact, the personal relationship between the two can only be regarded as good, and it has not yet reached the point of the iron buddy, compared to Ye Feng, who may be closer to the big man Auden, so he feels a little strange about Roy's invitation. Originally, he wanted to refuse, but he ...... Our classmate Ye Feng hasn't been to the bar too many times, at least he hasn't patronized it since he became a professional player, but when he saw Roy's desire to speak, he still decided to communicate with this guy privately.

But he didn't expect Roy to go straight to the point as soon as he spoke: "Ye, this season I hope you can take on the responsibility of the leader of the team, and I will also go to Mr. McMillan to make my suggestions, I think you are more suitable for this position......"

"Wait, wait!" Ye Feng hurriedly interrupted him, "Brandon, I didn't understand what you meant, I even doubt that I drank too much. You say let me take on the responsibility of leading the team? What about you? Don't tell me the general manager is ready to trade you out. ”

Roy smiled slightly, but there was some bitterness in his smile: "You are the most special teammate I have ever met, I think if I say this to LaMarcus, Nicholas or even anyone else, they will definitely be too excited to find North, but only you still care about the reason why I said these words." Relax, the team wasn't going to send me away yet, I decided that way, and I thought you did well in the last part of last season......"

Ye Feng hung a black line on the door of his head, he made a pause gesture, and said helplessly: "That's because you have a truce, right?" If you're still able to play for the team, I can give you a shot, and I don't think I've done a good job, do you think I still didn't lead the team to a championship in the end? Now that you're back, the position of team leader is still yours, for a reason, you can think I'm still young and not in a hurry! ”

Although there was some joke in the last sentence, Roy restrained his smile, his expression became serious, and he shook his head and said: "I don't know much about your Chinese thinking, as if you always feel that other people's words have another meaning." I won't tell you why I think the way I did, but you can recall some of my performances in the team and we'll talk about that. ”

Intra-team matches? Ye Feng remembered that Roy's performance in the confrontation match was not good, and it could even be said to be the biggest loophole on the main side, and even Old Miller's performance was better than him. Looking at the details, Roy wants to play well, and the sweat and facial expressions on his training uniform prove it, but determination doesn't mean he can play well. His proud breakthrough is gone, and he doesn't even dare to make moves when defending Matthews, and the most things he does on the court are running, catching, and shooting, but the hand feels cold enough, and not once or twice, but many times.

Speaking of Matthews, Ye Feng suddenly realized why he couldn't remember Roy's performance, it was really Roy's substitute who played very well, and the limelight even overshadowed Batum, who also belonged to the substitute side, you must know that Batum was an important member of the rotation lineup last season, and after Roy's injury, he also swayed down to the second position as a starter, and his performance was also good. But this time Matthews was the leader of the bench, and while he wasn't as diligent as Fernandes, he had a wide range of offense and could put the ball in the basket in a variety of ways.

That's the good thing about a young team, there's not so much intrigue in the team, there's no mess of off-field relationships, as long as you have the ability, you can be looked at differently by your team-mates, and you can get more opportunities even in official games. And Matthews is not a rookie, he is about to start the second season of his career in Portland, and he is still okay in terms of human sophistication, plus he has a gentle personality, and it is easy to establish himself on the team.

Recalling Roy's performance in the match, Ye Feng's expression was a little embarrassed, and he said hesitantly, "Hmm...... How so? Actually, you're still doing well, you're running aggressively, and your shots are opening up space for us......"

Roy knocked on the table angrily: "Okay, now is not the time to slap my ass, let's be serious." I know my physical condition, and I was a little lucky that I thought I would be back to normal after an offseason adjustment, but now I seem to be a little too optimistic. In fact, in addition to the hospital, I have also visited many well-known doctors and sports recovery specialists, and they are not very optimistic that I will recover in a short period of time, and my performance in training camp has shown that, and I am mentally prepared. ”

'I can stop, but the team can't. To be honest, it really blew me away that you led them to the Finals last season, and I didn't expect you to play such a great game and even beat the Lakers. Looking at the situation in the trade market this summer, there are few teams that are absolutely dominant other than Miami, so this is our chance. You were able to lead the team to the finals last season, and I'm sure this season will be the same. That's why I think you're the best guy to be the leader of the team, and your performance is indisputable evidence. ”

Ye Feng was silent, he knew that what Roy said was the truth, and there were some very secret things, such as contacting other experts in private, and Roy also told him, obviously he himself thought that he would not last long, and the knee injury was the biggest enemy for every athlete. Now that he can't refuse, as a member of the Trail Blazers, he has a responsibility to lead the team forward. As Roy said, his performance in the final stages of last season was the brightest thing on his resume, and becoming the new leader of the team was a natural thing.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng didn't pretend anymore, he raised his glass and said softly: "Cheers to the future of Portland!" ”
