Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 154 The Difficult Semifinal
May 5 is the time of the last game of the first round of the Eastern and Western Conference playoffs, and also the time of the first game of the second round.There is nothing to say in the East. The top four teams all advanced to the second round. James’ Cavaliers swept the Pistons. The other three teams played very hard. Except for the Magic who defeated the 3ers 4-2, the Eagles Both the Celtics and the Celtics fell into a bitter battle, and it was difficult to defeat their opponents through the tie-break.In other words, Ye Feng was the only rookie left to compete as the main force. Rose had already lost to Boston, and he could only wait for next season if he wanted to move forward.

There was an upset in the West. Among the top four teams, the Lakers and the Nuggets both defeated their opponents 4-1. Although the Blazers lost a general in a short period of time, they also won 4-2 After eliminating the Rockets, the only one who stumbled was the third-ranked Spurs.In the civil war in the Southwest, the Spurs only kept one home game, and were eliminated by the Mavericks 1-4. Fortunately, there have been only black eights and black sevens, but the Spurs are already worthy of a black six, and this is also the playoffs The only top four team that was eliminated in the first round, it is said that the head coach Popovich was very unhappy, but no matter how unhappy he was, he was eliminated.

After the Blazers broke through the first round, they got a long-lost short break, and there are still three days before the first game of their Western Conference semifinals.Ye Feng's ankle has healed a lot, but after discussing with Roberts, McMillan doesn't intend to let him play in this game. It is more important to heal his injury obediently.He knew that Ye Feng hadn't told his family about his injury, but in this information age, such a major event as the team's main player being injured would undoubtedly be exposed by the media, and it was impossible to hide it.Ye Feng naturally also knew that not receiving calls from his parents just meant that they didn't want to disturb his journey to the playoffs.

This time when I return to Los Angeles for an away game, I will definitely go home, and maybe I will be complained by my mother, but isn't this normal?Whose mother is not worried when her son is injured?It must be her father who stopped her urge to call. Of course Ye Ning knew about it, and because of his connections, he knew more than his wife. This time, his son did not encounter a major event that could ruin his entire career. Injuries, just let him go.Just because of this, Guo Yu scolded him severely, thinking that he was not sad about his son at all, and this was the origin of the conflict between men and women!

After resting for two days, the Trail Blazers team went to Los Angeles. Before leaving, Ye Feng went to the local Providence Hospital for an examination. When the doctor told him that he would recover in a few days, he was almost so excited. Allow yourself to relapse.Even though the first semi-final match couldn't be made, at least we can start from the second match, Ye Feng comforted himself like this.For him, as long as he can play, there is no problem. What he fears most is that when he recovers from his injury, he can only prepare for the next season. In this case, he will definitely regret it.

McMillan is very humane, and he gave Ye Feng a vacation. Anyway, this guy is idle in the hotel. It is better not to train his upper body strength. It is not a good thing to train strength at this time, so he simply let him go home. Stay for two days, as long as you can come to the scene during the game.Ye Feng is not very willing to go home, because his mother will definitely nagging for a long time, but it is not good if he does not go home. The last time he went home was at the beginning of the year. Fortunately, he no longer needs to wander around with a cane, otherwise he would be old. Damn, the firepower is probably even more terrifying.

However, when he showed up at the door, he was surprised to find that his mother didn't say a word about his ankle injury, but just dragged him to the dining table and filled him with a big bowl of rice.That's not normal. Mom isn't like that. Shouldn't she be pissed off about her accidental injury and order herself not to play professional basketball again?What happened to a bowl of rice?Straight to death?But his father kept giving him winks at the other end of the table, and his eyelids almost fell off. He understood that it was because his father had done a good job for his mother, so he nodded gratefully and began to eat big mouthfuls.

He won't be able to rest for a long time at home. May 5th is the first game of this round of the series. According to regulations, he must appear on the scene, especially now when he is so close to returning from injury.This time Ye Ning and his wife also appeared in the Staples Center with their son, and they sat in the VIP seats closest to the stadium, Ye Feng's seat was right in front of them.Ye Feng was a little worried about this game, the Lakers were still too strong, seeing how fast they were in the regular season, they knew that this was definitely a difficult enemy to deal with, let alone at their home court.

Unlike the Rockets, who are short of major generals, the Lakers have made great strides this season, and they haven't even suffered from injuries. Except for Bynum, the main players have played at least 78 games. , Although this seems to be very exhausting, it may not be the desire to fight that was forced out of last season's finals. Coupled with Kobe's paranoid pursuit of victory, the Lakers' combat power can be imagined.Fisher, Kobe, Trevor Ariza, Gasol and Bynum, this is the starting lineup of the Lakers for this game. Ye Feng felt a headache when he saw it. Of course he didn't pay attention to Kobe, this guy nicknamed Black Mamba Even if the guy is injured, as long as he can stand up, he will appear on the court. He is looking at Ariza.

Sure enough, the playoffs are a place to fight for defense. Both the Rockets and the Lakers have built the team's defense to be impenetrable.Compared with Ariza, Odom's combat power is obviously stronger, but Phil did not let him start, but let Ariza serve as the team's starting small forward, what is needed is his gradually mature defensive ability.Coupled with a Kobe who is excellent in offense and defense, the Lakers can say that they can't lose to any team. The Blazers' flanks will face a severe test again. It was initiated from outside.

Seeing the Lakers players earnestly warming up on the court, Ye Feng's eyelids kept twitching.Powerful enemies are not scary, but powerful and prudent enemies. They will not be arrogant or aggressive, and they will use their absolute strength to suppress you steadily. As the saying goes, a lion needs all his strength to fight a rabbit. It's really hard for the Blazers to get a good deal in the first game, so what will happen when they play by themselves in the second game?
