The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 36 [Visiting as a guest]

This was an unexpected game, and the Lakers became a team with Ye Feng as the core.

Durant scored 11 points against the Bucks on November 24. Ye Feng played 37 minutes and made 39 of 26 shots and 18 of 10 free throws. He scored 7 points, 43 rebounds and 11 assist.With no steals and no blocks, he suddenly went from a defensive specialist to a leading scorer.

The experts gave Ye Feng rave reviews.Those who said he couldn't shoot shut up, and he made 6 mid-range shots from the high post.The problem is the awareness of assists. After playing 41 minutes, he only had 1 assist, and when the ball is in his hand, he is shooting.

After the match, Jackson praised Ye Feng greatly. "As people have seen, he has fully adapted to the rhythm of the NBA and is an integral part of the Lakers."

Kobe only scored 14 points in this game, but sent 14 assists. The last time Kobe had 14 assists was the game against the Wizards on February 2002, 2. In that game, he got a career record 12 assists.Kobe scored less, and the Lakers fans were not disappointed. He gave Ye Feng 15 of his assists. People were pleased with the tacit understanding between the two and praised Kobe's selflessness.Bynum's performance today was much worse, he only scored 8 points and 8 rebounds. The Clippers relaxed on Ye Feng and put all their energy on him.

During the interview, the reporter asked Kobe: "If Ye Feng can play like this every game, will you reduce the number of shots and put passing first?"

Kobe smiled and said: "Do you think I don't want to share the number of shots? Today Ye's shooting is very firm and the shooting percentage is also very high. I am very happy that he has such a good performance. He is incredible. The dunk on the court, we all Stunned. He should go to the slam dunk contest, and I like him to win."

The reporter asked: "What is the goal of the Lakers this season?"

Kobe said excitedly: "The championship. I think the Lakers have reached the time to rise again. In the past few seasons, I was very tired on the offensive end. Now Bynum has improved, and Ye's joining has strengthened our bench. Depth, we already have the strength to hit the championship."

When the reporters interviewed Ye Feng, one of them asked: "Ye, you scored the most shots in the team today and scored 43 points, breaking Durant's rookie scoring record. How do you feel?"

"Every time the team wins, I feel like I've won the lottery, and I'm the same today. I've never won the lottery, but I think that's how it feels. Also, I'm very, very grateful to the coaches and teammates for their support. trust."

Many people at the press conference laughed.The reporter asked: "We saw that you had an exchange with Kobe off the court in the third quarter. What did you say?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Okay, I'll just repeat the original words. During the timeout, I was already addicted to shooting and I didn't want to stop. So I said to Kobe: 'Brother, I'm in great shape today, you pass me a few more shots. A ball?’ Kobe said, “You just have to shoot, the chance is given to you, and you can break my 81-point record.” I said, “Then I have to let the Clippers players pass the ball to me.” Just do it.'"

The reporters all laughed again.Ye Feng did not forget to compliment Kobe.81 points in a single game is the best proof of Kobe's scoring ability. Many people still say that he gave up team basketball and taught bad children.Now that Ye Feng mentioned 81 points, the 14 assists this time seemed even more selfless.Kobe felt very comfortable after hearing this.

The reporter asked: "You have very few assists in the past few games, will you pass more in the future?"

"It depends on the coach's arrangement. Of course I am happy to pass the ball."

The reporter asked: "We all know that you were born in the United States, do you have an English name?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "No, although I was born in the United States, I am Chinese. I like the name my parents gave me. This is the first name I think of after losing my memory. If I were to have an English name, it would be Hungry. Wolf, I like this nickname."

Yao Ming did not give himself an English name after he arrived in the United States. This is called a patriotic performance.Ye Feng knew what Chinese reporters liked to hear, and with a few simple words, he could raise his status in the hearts of Chinese fans to a higher level.

Someone also asked about his relationship with Ariel, alluding to the inside story of the game.

Ye Feng ended this topic with one sentence. "Life is life, work is work, everyone thinks too much."

He knows that some people will definitely say that this is a tacit ball, but even if the Clippers and the Lakers try their best to play this game, even if the winner is determined by a lore, some people will still see it as a conspiracy. If that is the case, why bother? Woolen cloth?

After the press conference, Ye Feng met Ariel outside the stadium.

Ariel asked, "What did you say to Thornton today? He just let you shoot."

Ye Feng said with a smile: "I said my wife and father-in-law are waiting to see me score points, he believed me."

Ariel laughed. "No wonder he always looked our way on the court. I really admire you. Maybe my dad will talk to you. He guessed that you might use this method to threaten Thornton. Now I suspect that you will become like him."

I'm like old Sterling?How many lawsuits would that take?Ye Feng asked with a smile: "Where are we going?"

"Go home. He's waiting for us at home. You can call Gabriela so she won't worry. You're going to stay at my house today." Ariel sighed.

Going home after the first meeting?Ye Feng guessed that Old Sterling might want to see how their relationship was going.In order to pretend to be a couple, will Ariel and I have a chance to live in the same room?Just like those bloody TV series... No, Sterling is the hungry ghost among the perverts. There is no reason why they can't tell if their relationship is real or not. This trip may be very interesting.

Ariel poked his waist and asked, "Why are you smirking? Are you thinking of something messy. Letting you stay overnight doesn't mean I will share a room with you. There are many guest rooms in the villa."

Can she read minds?Ye Feng smiled awkwardly: "Haha, that's not what I thought, I just think your dad is very interesting. I like your Sterling family."

Ariel instigated and said, "Come and drive, it will look better this way."

"Okay." Ye Feng deliberately nodded and bowed, showing a very obedient look, and took the key.

Ariel gave an address, which was the wealthy villa area in Los Angeles. Ye Feng knew the route very well, and was still very obedient, so he drove there immediately.

"Behave better in a while." Ariel was still worried, and warned again.

Maybe her performance tonight is related to whether she can take over the Clippers in the future. In order to hide it from Donald, she seemed a little nervous.Ariel rarely showed such an expression.

You look down on me too much. How can you be a good reporter if you are not good at building relationships with people?I've seen too many stars, great people.

The car quickly drove to a manor villa.Sterling does not live here alone, there are 18 other people including housekeepers, gardeners, and maids.The luxury of this villa is far beyond Ye Feng's imagination. The main building is divided into the owner's villa, the guest's exclusive villa and the butler's villa. There is a luxurious swimming pool outside, a tennis court, a basketball court, four parking spaces and two parking garages, worth one thousand $300 million.This is not a villa, it is simply a palace!Ye Feng couldn't help admiring the luxury of the rich in his heart, Ariel was born in such a family, whoever wants to marry her is equivalent to marrying a golden mountain.

Donald Sterling has made a lot of money over the years and he is very successful as a businessman.His main business is stocks, real estate, and only a small part of the team.The advantage of the team is that it brought him fame and is a living advertisement.

Ye Feng parked the car at the entrance of the main villa, got out of the car with Ariel, and the staff at home greeted him: "Miss, the boss is waiting for you in the lobby."

Ariel walked beside Ye Feng, and said lightly: "Hold me, it's too far away to be so far away."

Ye Feng was not polite either, he held Ariel in his arms, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect your waist to be quite thin."

"Can I be like your bucket waist as a woman?" Ariel pinched his waist and said softly, "It's up to you."

Sterling was in the living room, wearing a flowered pajamas. When he saw the two entering the door, he smiled and said, "Hello, Ye, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, Donald."

Americans like to call their names directly to show the equality between people. People who are familiar with each other call them by their first names directly instead of their surnames.People call Ye Feng "Ye" because his first name comes first when translated.Sterling was very affectionate, and Ye Feng stopped seeing him.

Sterling said with a smile: "Recently, you two are often on the news. Lakers Hungry Wolf, Clippers Princess, very interesting titles. Sit down, I will ask someone to prepare some supper and red wine, and we will chat while eating."

Sterling is not what he imagined.Ye Feng thought that as the elder of a big family, there would be many rules and etiquette, but Sterling was very casual, after shaking hands with Ye Feng, he casually leaned back on the sofa.He smiled and said, "Ye, you played a beautiful game today. I really didn't expect you to play so well. What did you say to Thornton, can you tell me?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Ariel told me, and it's about the same as what you guessed. So today's stats are not my real level. I'm better at defense than offense."

The three talked about basketball for a long time, and they were very harmonious.Ariel was rarely seen as a little girl today, and she didn't say a word to express her masculinity.

Sterling drank two glasses of wine with Ye Feng, and said that he had never talked so much with any player, and he didn't like Brand because he was black.

"I hate two kinds of people the most, one is racist people, and the other is black people." Sterling said.

"Well, very interesting." Ye Feng smiled.

After the maid removed the food and wine glasses, Sterling smiled slightly and asked suddenly: "Ye, why are you willing to be friends with Ariel? I'm curious, you know she likes women, but you are still willing to help her." Cover up, publish in newspapers and magazines, let people all over the world know that you are a couple, can you tell me, what is your purpose?"

I finally got to the point, I really can't hide it.Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Because I like her."
