The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 214 [Interview with Los Angeles Sports]

Practicing on the trampoline, Thibodeau was worried that Ye Feng's practice would go crazy and he wouldn't be able to make a normal shot. Fortunately, he could adjust it.CIC remained stable.I also started to make three-pointers at the top of the arc, always practicing the same position, practice makes perfect.After a month of training, he is getting better and better.

On September 9th, Ye Feng finished his special training and had a two-week break before joining the team's preseason training camp, when the players will start training together.

In the summer league, both Curry and Thornton played well. Curry won a 3+1 contract, and Thornton won a 2+2 contract.After seeing Thornton's performance in the Summer League, the coaching staff all admire Ye Feng's vision.Thornton played better than Curry, averaging 20.8 points per game to become the first of all rookies.

Many players finally found clubs at the last minute.Iverson cut his salary by 3 million in 1000 years and joined the Rockets.The shrewd Morey introduced Iverson to attract the box office, promised to let him play the starter, let Brooks come off the bench, and at the same time sent Alston, who had no place in the team, to the Thunder, and exchanged two second-round picks.

Alston only has a one-year contract of $525 million left. He will not hinder the Thunder's long-term team building plan. If Watson is traded, Alston can also serve as a good substitute for Rose.

Whether Adelman and Yao Ming can restrain Iverson is a question. How much effort Larry Brown spent in the past made Iverson temporarily compromise; the Nuggets also rely on George Karl's prestige to restrain them.In the Pistons, the inexperienced Curry immediately had nothing to do with Iverson.McGrady will also come back this season, but no one expects Iverson and McGrady to join forces. Although McGrady won a championship for nothing last season, he is no longer popular in Houston.

On the 13th, Baron Davis joined the Cleveland Cavaliers for 5 million in 4300 years, and the last year was a non-guaranteed contract.Davis regretted not jumping out of the contract last season, mainly because he believed that the Warriors had a future last season, but he was wrong, and now no team is willing to pay him a high salary. The Cavaliers are already the most generous team.It's all about pleasing James.We all know he likes Davis, and the introduction of Mo Williams last year was just a substitute for Davis.

Soon to be busy again.In order to save energy and maintain the best condition for the regular season, Thibodeau rejected the invitation of the European team Barcelona to play the preseason.McGee, Love, and Ye Feng have all trained for a long time, and the other players also have some training with their assistant coaches before going to Europe, which is too tiring.

On the evening of the 14th, Ariel and Ye Feng were invited to participate in an interview program of Los Angeles Sports.The Clippers have been the focus of the media recently.Interviewing two people who appear on the news all day is what every TV station wants to do, but Ye Feng doesn't show up at all except for training. His training is also closed, and reporters can't enter the arena.

Los Angeles Sports has always ridiculed in the style of a talk show, which is full of fun.After meeting Ye Feng, the host Adam introduced: "Friends from the audience, we have invited two special guests, a pair of enviable couples, the youngest owner in the NBA, Ariel Sterling, and The one who changed the league and the Clippers, the youngest scorer in history—Feng Ye, the hungry wolf!"

The audience applauded wildly.The two shook hands with the host and sat on the sofa.

Adam asked: "You two haven't been on a TV show in the past year. It's very exciting to be able to participate in the recording of Los Angeles Sports. Why did you choose my show?"

This question is very skillful, leading the guests to say that their programs are of high quality and advertise for the radio station.

Ariel said: "We are here to settle accounts with you. A few years ago, you said that the Clippers' jerseys insulted the league."

The audience laughed. A few years ago, Adam did make fun of the Clippers when talking about the dressing rules for the new season, saying, "Players cannot wear clothes that insult the league, such as Clippers jerseys."

Adam said: "I apologize for what I said at that time. Now the Clippers are already a strong team in the league and the pride of Los Angeles."

"Thank you. We are here to hear this sentence." Ariel smiled.

The audience applauded one after another, and the opening atmosphere was good.

Adam still asked Ariel first. "Miss Sterling, you are already the owner of the Clippers. You did a lot of amazing things when you came to power last year. You traded the entire team out of the team and completely rebuilt it. After that, Dunleavy resigned and hired someone with no experience as a head coach. Thibodeau, did you think the Clippers could play so well last season?"

Ariel said: "These things are expected, because with him, I believe the Clippers can play a good record."

Adam looked at Ye Feng again, and asked: "Last season, you were under a lot of pressure. People were speculating why you left the Lakers. After you arrived at the Clippers, because of your relationship, the players lived in the owner's house, which caused a lot of controversy. Questions, how did you deal with these questions? Everyone was very curious about your affairs back then, but in interviews, you rarely mentioned these private matters. How do you feel?"

Ye Feng said: "Actually, I don't think much of it. When we first met, she was not the owner of the Clippers. It felt right. We became good friends and later became lovers. We can't separate because of identity issues, so the outside world We don't care how we protest, we go our own way and let others beat us."

The audience laughed again.

Adam asked: "Now you have signed a new three-year contract with the Clippers, only 2500 million. Many people protest that this is far below your level, and question your actions. In this regard, what do you two want to explain? Is it? You are only in the second season, and the standard should undoubtedly be the maximum salary."

Ariel said: "In order to reduce verbal disputes, we wanted to give him a maximum salary, which would not exceed the luxury tax, and would have no impact on the team. But before the signing, many people still said that he was a member of the Clippers." Small boss. Later we thought that even if a big contract was signed, everyone should still say it. He made a proposal, don’t people like to talk about it? Don’t everyone think so? Then admit it, since it’s from the boss Thinking about it from a different perspective, of course we need to get a low annual salary to prepare for next year’s free market. Everyone knows that there will be many big-name players in the transfer market next year, and we proved a point last season that the Clippers are a team with the strength to compete for the championship. team!"

The audience let out a gasp.Americans like to make a fuss on the show, and the tone is surprisingly consistent, as if they have been practiced.

Adam asked: "Ye, are you still not satisfied with the team's lineup? So I hope there will be big-name players joining next season."

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Kidd is here, what am I not satisfied with? The goal of the Clippers this season is the championship. I mentioned this issue last season. But if someone is willing to come to the Clippers next year, we will undoubtedly Will become stronger. I will not be satisfied even if I win the championship, I will work hard to build the Clippers dynasty!"

The audience applauded again. Considering Ye Feng's age, this was a very confident declaration.

Adam asked: "If James, Wade and others jump out of their contracts and go to Los Angeles next season, who will be the core of the team?"

Ye Feng said with a smile: "Of course it's me. Even if Jordan returns to play, the core of the Clippers is me. In the new season, I will continue to prove that I am worthy of this title."

In this way, Wade and James may not consider the Clippers after hearing it, but he still has to say it.He didn't want James to steal the title of boss like he went to the Heat. He is very strong, but Ye Feng didn't think he was necessary to win the championship.His goal is not just a championship, but also wants to be the best player in the league.

Adam asked some questions about his teammates and the game, and both Ye Feng and Ariel answered well.

The program team thought it was right to invite them, and the ratings increased a lot.

Adam then touched on the sensitive subject again. "The Lakers have also strengthened this season. With Artest, the Lakers will definitely have more ways to defend you next season. What do you think about this?"

Ye Feng said: "That's a good reinforcement. Artest is a very good perimeter defender. It's annoying to be marked by him. He is indeed one of the best players in the league to defend me. Except for defense In addition, he can also help the team on the offensive end. He uses his strong body to break through and score three-pointers. The Rockets can win the championship. Yao Ming is mainly on the inside, and he is on the outside. Maybe can be selected to the All-Star multiple times. The Lakers are our biggest competitors in the new season, I am sure of this. Although the Lakers are stronger, we also have Kidd. Next season against the Lakers, I am still confident to win. "

Adam returned the topic to the relationship between Ariel and Ye Feng. "The two are a famous couple now, and they have lived together for a year, but there has been no news of their marriage. Do you have any plans in this regard?"

Ariel didn't know how to answer, Ye Feng smiled and said: "Our relationship is very stable, that's the key, we will get married when the time is right."

Adam mentioned that Ye Feng had never had an affair. "Many beauties like you and are willing to throw themselves into your arms, but you have never been moved, and even scandals have never spread. May I ask how Miss Sterling caught your heart? You are as rich as you, and It's not easy to be single-minded when many people like a bachelor."

Ariel smiled and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because they are attracted to each other. He is a very self-disciplined person."

Adam looked at Ye Feng again and asked, "Can you tell me why?"

Ye Feng said with a smile: "Actually, the reason is very simple, my idol is Chamberlain."
Adam thought he heard it wrong. Chamberlain was a famous playboy in the NBA. Ye Feng actually mentioned Chamberlain at this time, which was very surprising.

"Ye, what Chamberlain and what you are doing now are two extremes. Did you say the wrong name?"

The audience burst into laughter, and even Ariel didn't expect him to answer like that.

Ye Feng smiled and said: "I didn't say the wrong name. My idol is Chamberlain. He is the scoring leader in the NBA. I am very interested in him. I have read his autobiography. This is why I value love and choose to be single-minded. "

Everyone is waiting to hear his explanation. Why?
