Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 128 The New Year

Because her son was coming back, Guo Yu made a rich Chinese breakfast early. She cooked preserved egg and lean meat porridge, steamed big steamed buns, and went to Chinatown to buy freshly fried deep-fried dough sticks. Small pickles that whet the appetite.As soon as he entered the door, Ye Feng was attracted by the dazzling array of breakfast on the dining table, the long-lost taste made him swallow involuntarily.Not caring about putting down his backpack, he casually grabbed a bun and bit down on it.Thumbs up!This is the taste!This may be the only food Ye Feng misses after becoming a professional player that doesn't quite meet the nutritionist's requirements.

If it was before, Guo Yu would pretend to be angry and drive her son to the kitchen to wash his hands, but now she just smiled and watched her son sit down at the dining table and gobble it up. Let's put hygiene aside!In fact, Ye Feng was not very hungry. Although he left in a hurry the night before, he only left the arena after eating some salad and chicken in the locker room. No stomach growling on red-eye flights either.But there is no way, this is the taste of home, and there is no such high-standard "treatment" in Portland.

After drinking a whole big bowl of porridge, stuffed with two steamed buns and two deep-fried dough sticks, Ye Feng leaned comfortably on the chair and hummed.Ye Ning and Guo Yu smiled at each other and continued to eat their breakfast slowly.After the meal, Guo Yu skillfully cleaned up the dishes, and the father and son sat on the sofa and chatted.Although he used to be a professional player, Ye Ning had never played in the NBA, the hall of basketball in the world. Opportunity to play against the top stars of the NBA.

So he is still very curious about the life of NBA players. Ye Ning is very interested in everything from the locker room to training sessions to various facilities and staffing.No way, I am interested, how can my son hide it?This is not a competitor inquiring about trade secrets.However, as a mother, Guo Yu’s focus is completely different from that of her husband. As soon as she finished washing the dishes, she couldn’t help interjecting in the living room: “Son, how is your life in Portland? Did the old players let you When you feel embarrassing? You usually strictly control your fat intake, can you be full..."

Ye Feng looked at his mother who obviously wanted to ask more questions, quickly raised his hand to stop, and then began to answer the questions one by one: "The climate in Portland is very good, and the apartments provided by the team are also of a very high standard, so I think I am doing pretty well in Portland...Our team is still mostly young players. In the words of our coach, there are no thorns. Everyone works hard and is very enthusiastic. The atmosphere of the team is absolutely top-notch Yes... As for those nutritious meals, there is still some meat, how can you have the strength to play games if you don't eat enough? It's just that those methods are not very flattering, many of them are boiled..."

After speaking, Ye Feng slapped his ass flatteringly: "Of course, it's definitely not as good as the food you cook!" Guo Yu, who was still secretly complaining about the team's nutritionist just now, immediately smiled and said in multiple voices : "As long as you can talk, what do you want to eat today? I'll go out to buy vegetables now!" Ye Ning said angrily: "I've never seen you so active, why do I feel that the food has risen several levels when my son comes back? It’s like changing from a food stall on the street into a five-star luxury hotel.”

Guo Yu rolled his eyes at him, and said to Ye Feng self-consciously: "Don't pay attention to your father, think about what to eat today, New Year's Day, according to our Chinese tradition, we must cook a good meal!" Ye Feng Smiled at Dad, and began to report the menu: "Mom, I want to eat fried pork belly with sauce, white fungus and lotus seed soup, sweet and sour pork ribs, mapo tofu..." It was hard for him to eat Western food in Portland for half a year , can still report such a large list of dish names so smoothly.

Naturally, Guo Yu had no objection, and was even ready to change clothes and go out to do some crazy shopping. Only Ye Ning asked quietly: "If you eat like this, it won't affect your physical condition, right? I seem to have heard that the NBA team The team doctor also attaches great importance to data such as body fat percentage." Ye Feng said with a playful smile: "It doesn't matter, I can only eat a small amount of each dish, and most of the time I will still follow the nutritionist's requirements. "

Sure enough, Ye Feng did what he said, at noon, looking at the table full of delicious Chinese dishes, he forcibly restrained his urge to eat hazelnuts, just picked up a few chopsticks for each dish, and savored it The taste that he almost forgot, more often he still ate with relish with that plate of salad.Guo Yu felt very distressed when she saw it. She didn't care about fat intake or anything, but felt that her son was working so hard on such an important festival as New Year's Day.However, Ye Ning is quite appreciative of his son's approach. After all, he is also a person who has played professional games, so the level of thinking is still high. You can just try these traditional Chinese dishes. As a professional player, you should be more strict with yourself .

The two-day short vacation is still very refreshing for Ye Feng, after all, life at home is quite comfortable, whether it is eating or sleeping, it seems that it is still when he did not enter the NBA, as if the smell of gunpowder on the court has gone away.Being able to go home and rest for a while during the intense game schedule is what a rookie player looks forward to the most, not to mention the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009, it can be regarded as saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, right?
In the past year, Ye Feng completed the most important transformation in his life, from a semi-professional player playing in the NCAA to a professional player in the NBA.Of course, in his opinion, the most important achievement of this year is not just the NCAA championship trophy, but also a large group of good teachers and helpful friends he knows, UCLA's Holland, Westbrook, Love, Mbah a Moute, pioneers The winners' McMillan, Roy, Aldridge, Oden, and of course Jeff Hornacek and his daughter Abby, this is a precious asset that is more cherished than the championship.

As for 2009, Ye Feng doesn't have much extravagant expectations. The All-Star Game and the championship are still far away from him, and he can compete for the best rookie of the year. Of course, he always believes that his most important task is to integrate into the team as soon as possible. , Give full play to his role, stabilize his starting small forward position, and lead the team to the playoffs with his teammates.

However, it would be even better if it could go further!
