Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 156 Coming Back Is the Happiest Thing

It was very rare for Ye Feng not to comfort his teammates who had failed. Now he is undergoing an injury assessment at the UCLA Medical Center, accompanied by the team doctor Roberts of the Trail Blazers.This is one of the best hospitals on the west coast of the United States, and of course it is also the designated hospital for the UCLA Bruins. The doctor who checked him was even a UCLA fan.When he saw Ye Feng, he froze for a moment, then opened his mouth as if a light bulb could be stuffed into it, hurriedly stood up from behind the desk, took out an autograph book from the drawer and handed it to Ye Feng.For a fan, seeing his idol is undoubtedly exciting, and it is understandable to ask for an autograph by the way.

After signing his name on the signature book in a fluttering manner, Ye Feng followed the little nurse with peach blossom eyes to take X-rays.It took a long time for this inspection, and I did everything that should be done and what should not be done. This is Roberts' strong request. This is what annoys Ye Feng the most. Everything will make the sky fall down. Can't you calm down a bit?Roberts would definitely give him a pissed face when he found out. Such a calm team doctor can already pack up and leave. As a team doctor of a professional team, he can't be too careful. He just did some more checks, which is nothing.

The result of the evaluation was very optimistic. The X-ray showed that Ye Feng's injury was basically healed, and the doctor who asked him for his autograph also swore that he could play basketball now.Seeing the text message from Roberts, McMillan didn't doubt the professionalism of others, but he didn't intend to put Ye Feng in the starting lineup directly.In his view, players who have just returned from injury must also be protected to a certain extent. For example, reducing playing time and not letting him start is obviously for his own good. It is very simple to work hard for the team. Time to play the full 12 minutes on it.

After returning from UCLA Medical Center, almost the entire team knew about Ye Feng's comeback.As a professional player, drinking is not allowed between games, so a group of people filled Ye Feng's room with various fruit juices, and everyone was expressing their joy.It's a pity that the way they express it is to pat Ye Feng's shoulder desperately. It's okay to say that Roy and Fernandez are like this, but Outlaw and Auden are almost dead. Such a direct slap made Ye Feng grin his teeth, and even had the urge to go back to the medical center to assess his shoulder injury.

No way, the first game was too suffocating, and I always felt that I couldn’t use my strength. Of course, the main reason was the natural gap in strength, but the Blazers players still comforted themselves and said that this was not the same as their lineup. It doesn't matter, although even if Ye Feng plays, he may not be able to overthrow the Lakers.Now that Ye Feng is back from injury, it can be regarded as a shot in the arm for them. The morale, which was still a little low before, has been raised without knowing it. , even the calm-faced Roy quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his next task would be greatly reduced.Ye Feng almost wanted to yell at me, why are you looking at me like a dead man?Isn't it just to match up with Kobe?I admit it!

After venting their depression, everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest. There was still training in the afternoon, so there was no delay.Ye Feng was lying on the bed alone looking at the ceiling, while listening to Oden's snoring, he secretly thought about the situation of the next match.It is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing to be the starter. Now my state is not very good, and I still need to find my feeling in the game. Judging from Phil's urine, it is normal to continue to play on the wing combination of Kobe and Ariza , No matter what the matchup is, it is very difficult to score on the offensive end, and Roy may be directly driven to defend Kobe when defending.Thinking about it, he fell asleep in the sound of Oden's snoring. He had no idea that McMillan didn't intend to make him the team's starter.

The training in the afternoon went smoothly, and Ye Feng didn't feel any problem with his ankle. He was doing all kinds of moves wantonly on the court, watching Roberts on the sidelines seem to be frightened.Seeing Roberts's blue face, McMillan put down the tactical board in his hand, walked over to him and said, "What are you still worried about? Isn't Ye right now?"

Roberts sighed: "I just think it's not a good thing for him to have no scruples right after he recovers..."

McMillan interrupted him: "Who said that? That's a good thing. Let's not say that he was only slightly injured this time. How many players are afraid of being injured again after returning from injury? They are timid during the game, and then gradually lose The edge of the past."

Watching Ye Feng finish a fast break with a powerful dunk, McMillan continued: "I know what you think, buddy, but what he needs now is to run around on the court. Of course, I will also consider this In terms of things, I will let him come off the bench in this game and reduce playing time appropriately."

After the discussion between the head coach and the team doctor, Ye Feng was powerless to object, and could only watch Batum continue to serve as the team's starting small forward.According to McMillan's plan, he will form the wing of the rotation with Outlaw. In other words, he will play the shooting guard that he has not played in the entire regular season. Unless he is struggling in the fourth quarter, the third position No need to think about it.

Ye Feng didn't resist. Firstly, the words of the coach in a professional team are imperial decrees, and no one can violate them. Those who do this will basically be sent away by the management; secondly, being able to play himself is already very exciting. At this time, do you still have to worry about whether to start or substitute?
However, it is a pity for Ye Feng not to be able to play against Kobe for a long time. During the regular season, he was defeated by Kobe. Not only did the team lose, but his personal statistics also fell behind.After a season of tempering, he really wanted to see how far the gap between himself and Kobe was, and whether he could beat Kobe once before he retired.

In any case, it is the best result for the coach to let himself play, and it is not bad to serve as the team's backup shooting guard. I can sit on the bench and worry about it, but I can't do anything.

The Lakers are strong, and the Lakers in the playoffs are even stronger, but what does it matter?As long as you come back, you must fight to the death.
