The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 31 [Fight to Fame]

There was a big reversal in the second half.The Lakers played back-to-back games, but the players were as excited as if they had been pumped. On the contrary, it was the physical strength of the Celtics' Big Three that had problems.

Previously, the Big Three could solve the problem as long as they played 35 minutes per game. This time they all played about 40 minutes. The absence of Leon Bowie and Tony Allen affected the rotation of the lineup.In order to defend Kobe and Odom, they have expended a lot of energy. When the unexpected factor of Ye Feng appeared, the Celtics couldn't stand it anymore. Whether it was Glenn Davis or Brian Scala inside Blaney couldn't keep up with Ye Feng's speed, only House and Posey were left as substitutes.

The Lakers' basic salary rookie directly dragged down the Celtics. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers' biggest point difference was 15 points. The final score was 87 to 80, and the Celtics' winning streak was ended.

叶锋出场33分钟，10投7中，罚球3中2，得到了16分6篮板2盖帽1抢断。虽然没有助攻，但这并无碍专家们对他的好评。杰克逊也要求他一起出席了赛后新闻发布会。

The "hungry wolf", who was extremely crazy on the field, became approachable at the press conference, always smiling.When talking about his impressions, he smiled and said: "I feel very excited, and I feel like I have endless energy. The Celtics are the team with the best record in the league. It is very fulfilling to help the team win. When I was sent to play, I told myself, don't care about being a rookie with a minimum salary, and don't be afraid of the Big Three, I will do my best."

The reporter asked: "Today you scored 16 points and 6 rebounds, and sent out a few very wonderful dunks, including dunking Garnett. Is this feeling beyond imagination? Is it beyond your expectations?"

"I'm that kind of player. I like dunking. I try a lot. It's my best way to score."

The reporter asked again: "People say that you are the key to the Lakers' victory today. Now that you are popular, how do you feel?"

"It feels really good."

The reporter asked: "When you made that kind of difficult dunk, what was going through your mind? Can you tell me?"

"I just want to score, nothing else, I have to do my best." He mentioned "doing his best" twice in order to impress the coaching staff.Between him and Radmanovic, who are playing desperately, will the coach choose "Ski Man"?

The reporter asked: "I'm afraid no one would have thought that you would play at such a high level so quickly after joining the NBA. In the Lakers, who helped you the most? How did your coaches and teammates help you learn to play NBA games so quickly? You adapted so well. Come on, do you have a secret?"

Ye Feng said with a smile: "Divac has been helping me, he taught me the low attack, and accompanied me to practice shooting after training. There are also teammates, Kobe, Odom, Bynum, Fisher, etc... They are my friends and teachers, who taught me a lot of experience and skills, and saved me a lot of detours. I am very grateful to them.”

The four he mentioned happened to be the main force of the team, and he desperately wanted to be that fifth.

The reporter asked: "What did Garnett say to you on the court? Today you are full of gunpowder, and you each received a technical foul. What did you think when you challenged him?"

"As long as someone provokes me, I will definitely fight, no matter who he is. As long as someone provokes me, I will definitely pay the price. I am such a person."

Jackson on the side wanted to applaud Ye Feng's words, he is indeed the toughest player in the Lakers team.Such a declaration will also increase his deterrence on the court.

The 5 best goals of the day were all created in the Celtics VS Lakers game, and Ye Feng alone accounted for [-] of them.

On the fifth ball, Ye Feng dunked in the air - "Flying Man connects to Hungry Wolf, the alley-oop is full of domineering power!"

On the fourth ball, Garnett evaded Ye Feng's block and dunked and scored - "The wolf king in the past, today's Hulk, smashing the frame violently."

On the third ball, Ye Feng steals it, and Kobe assists Odom to score—"Hungry wolf rushes for food, flying man makes a wonderful pass, classic fast break."

On the second ball, Ye Feng dunked Garnett in a big windmill——"The ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road!"

On the first ball, Ye Feng flew over Posey and dunked - "In a star-studded night, the super substitute left a hungry wolf legend in the North Shore Garden."

It was already midnight when Ye Feng took the special plane back to his home in Los Angeles, and he woke up in the afternoon.

Walking out of the bedroom, he found two burgers on the table in the living room, with a note next to it, which read: "I didn't expect you to sleep so dead. I made the beef burgers myself. Two of them are worth 4 dollars at most. This is my heart, I hope you like it." - Ariel.

It turned out that she remembered everything I said.Ye Feng laughed, picked up a hamburger, took a bite, it tasted pretty good.Maybe the Clippers tried out CJ Watson.How could I be happy when I gave up a car and got two hamburgers as gifts?I'm probably the dumbest person in the city, right?
After eating, he took out his mobile phone, dialed Ariel's number, and the background music of "Chain Saw" when the mystery was revealed in Gabriela's room, Ye Feng's face suddenly collapsed, Leh, right?
"Hello?" Ariel's lazy voice came, and Ye Feng could vaguely hear it standing in the living room.

"Why are you in Gabriella's room?"

"When you get sleepy, take a nap." Ariel came out of the room wearing slippers, her eyes bleary.

The two looked at each other while holding the phone, and Ariel asked, "Are you back?"

Ye Fenghan said: "Yes, did we... hang up the phone?"

"Then I'll hang up first." Ariel hung up the phone, rubbed her eyes, and smiled. "Hey, why do you look like that?"

Ye Feng suspected that something happened between her and Gabriela, he swallowed, and asked: "In view of your special situation, I must ask politely, did you sleep with Gabriela?" ( Shit, where are you tactful?)
"She went to the audition, and I'm alone." Ariel looked at him and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, aren't you jealous?"

Ye Feng rolled his eyes. "What am I jealous of?"

"I can go to sleep in her room, but you can only be next door."

Ye Feng sighed. Nothing happened to the two women, and he felt a little regretful. This kind of feeling was contradictory, and he didn't want to mention it again. "You have to thank me, is it Watson's business?"

"Well, the Clippers signed Watson to a minimum salary contract. He performed well in the workout, and we cut Knight."

Watson's strength must be stronger than Brian Knight's. Ye Feng is very aware of this, he said with a smile: "The hamburger is delicious, this way of thanking is indeed more like a couple than giving a car."

"Please don't say such things that give me goosebumps in the future." Ariel shuddered and said with a smile, "Come out with me and meet someone."

"who?"

Ariel said seriously: "You should have an agent. After this game, many advertising sponsors are optimistic about you. You don't have to live in such a small apartment if you endorse a few products at will. How about it? , are you interested?"

How could Ye Feng not be interested in this kind of thing?Now technical fouls and fines are causing him great pain. This season's salary will not be paid to him all at once, he needs money.And he understands that as long as he plays well, there will be more and more things off the court. He must have a qualified agent to take care of him.

There are many examples of rapid fame in the NBA. Ye Feng is most impressed by Jeremy Lin, a Chinese player from Taiwan. He suddenly broke out in the Knicks in 2012 and became the darling of the league.Being Chinese can bring him more attention.In the United States, as long as people are famous, they will definitely have money.

In the afternoon, under Ariel's recommendation, Ye Feng met a middle-aged white man in a neat suit at the Starbucks coffee shop. His name was Leon Rose, and his players included Allen Iverson and LeBron James. A top player with a huge reputation.After the introduction, Ye Feng agreed without saying a word.

Ariel smiled and said: "It's wrong for you to agree so quickly. Many NBA agents are vampires and will try their best to squeeze you. You should read the terms of the contract and consult carefully before making a decision to avoid disputes in the future. You The fool."

"I don't know him well, but I trust you, since you introduced him, how could he harm me?" Ye Feng looked at Ariel and smiled.Although they haven't known each other for a long time, he still believes in Ariel, maybe it's just because of two hamburgers and a note.He is such an emotional person.

"Hmph, you're smart." Ariel snorted softly and turned her head away.

"At first I thought the news was exaggerated, but it turns out that your relationship is really good." Rose looked at the two and smiled and said, "Ye, you are so lucky. I am an old friend of the Sterling family. I haven't seen Ai yet." Which man has Lier been so concerned about before?"

Ariel remained silent, looking indifferent.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "What should I do next?"

"Just leave the business to me. After signing the contract, you are my employer, and I will be responsible for all your business operations to help you maximize your profits." Ross took out a contract full of details. In front of Ye Feng, he said softly: "In the NBA, commercial value determines everything. Behind every superstar there will be a very powerful media effect at play. For example, Brand's strength may not be worse than Kobe's, but His commercial value is much lower than that of Kobe, and it is very difficult to even enter the All-Star Game. You have an advantage because you are Chinese, and behind you is the huge Chinese market, and now all the media in China have begun to pay attention to you.”

Ye Feng asked: "Then do I want to accept commercial endorsement now?"

The answer is no. Among the many product endorsements, Rose suggested that Ye Feng only accept some small events and not sign long-term contracts with big companies.If he can continue to improve in the first season and become a starter for the Lakers, his commercial value will further increase. If the Lakers reach the playoffs and pass the first round, then it is time to negotiate a big contract with the advertiser The best chance.Rose watched Ye Feng's game and was very optimistic about him.The first thing Ye Feng has to do is to establish a good relationship with Chinese journalists.

After becoming famous in World War I, his off-court life will also become busy.
