Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 183 Becoming a Lakers Fan Again

Ye Feng was really happy that the Lakers eliminated the Nuggets and made it to the finals. Although the Blazers were defeated by the Lakers, he has been a Lakers fan since he came into contact with basketball, not to mention that Kobe even gave him advice. The two said It is not an exaggeration to be both a teacher and a friend.So isn't it normal to be a Lakers fan again after the team you play for is eliminated?Losing to the final champion, it sounds better to say that!

Ye Feng booked all the Lakers home game tickets online without hesitation. He has no interest in flying to Orlando in the southeast, but as a fan who lives in Los Angeles, the Lakers' home game tickets must be bought.Although his rookie contract is not very big, it is only relative to first-line stars. In fact, as the No. In the playoffs, there is also a bonus for rushing to the Western Conference semifinals. Paul Allen is absolutely not stingy in this regard.So although the tickets for the finals are not cheap, Ye Feng can still afford them.

Here I have to mention the way NBA teams pay salaries.Generally speaking, by default, it will be issued once every half a month, 12 times a year, wages will be paid for 6 months when there are games, and no money will be paid for the remaining 6 months; players and teams can negotiate some changes in details, for example, from every year 12 times become 24 times, such as a part of the salary advance before the start of the season.In addition, about 10% of the salary of the players is placed in the league's EscrowFund to pay for possible overall salary overruns. After each season is settled, if there is a surplus in this part of the salary, it may also be sent back.

On weekdays, Ye Feng is still very frugal in spending money, because he doesn't go to bars or nightclubs, and he doesn't go to various parts of the world on vacation, he only uses every minute and every second to train himself, The salary I get basically doesn't cost much except for food and rent.Now he can be regarded as a little rich man, so when buying tickets, he planned to buy a few tickets for his parents, but Ye Ning very aggressively told him to save the extra money, or invest it in something It's okay, he and Ye Feng's mother won't go to watch the game, it's more comfortable for them to stay at home.

Ye Feng couldn't hold back his father, so he bought four tickets to the home of the Lakers Finals. Of course, if the Lakers don't need to play so many games, the remaining tickets can still be refunded.The first game of the finals was on the evening of June 6th. After Ye Feng had dinner, he drove his father's car to the Staples Center. He left his own car in Portland without thinking about it. buy a new one.Subconsciously, this kid still doesn't think of himself as a rich man. Now he can't afford a luxury car worth a few million dollars.

Originally, Ye Feng thought that he had come early, but when he drove one kilometer away from the Staples Center, he realized how ridiculous his thinking was.Not to mention the bustling people wearing Lakers jerseys on the sidewalks, almost every road is blocked with sardine cans, and it takes a few minutes to move a little distance forward.Ye Feng patted his forehead, smiled self-deprecatingly, and began to look for the nearest parking lot relying on his familiarity with Los Angeles.Fortunately, this is not the first time he has encountered a similar situation. After easily finding a parking space, he walked directly to the Staples Center.

In the ticket checking team, Ye Feng looked unusual because he was not wearing a Lakers jersey.Whether it was the fans standing in front of him or behind him, they were all wearing Lakers jerseys, whether it was home or away, and no matter whose number, Ye Feng looked very conspicuous in casual clothes alone.However, Ye Feng seemed very calm about the curious eyes of others. How is it compared to the eyes and boos of the fans during the game here?This searching little look is simply drizzle.Fortunately, the Lakers fans were very qualified, and there were no so-called hooligan groups. Ye Feng finally walked into the arena after queuing for nearly half an hour.

He took a deep breath: It's been a long time since I visited the Staples Center as a fan!I don't know what kind of performance the Lakers can play tonight?While thinking, he took off his mask.Soon this oriental face was recognized by the Lakers fans next to him. A small number of people glared at him, but most turned a blind eye to him. Only some fans who also paid close attention to the NCAA would give him sincere respect. Smiling, Ye Feng also nodded to them in return.Only these people know that Ye Feng is also the pride of this city. Although he is Chinese, he has been living in Los Angeles since he came to the United States. There is nothing wrong with saying that he is the pride of Los Angeles.

Ye Feng's position this time is very good, just a little far behind the Lakers' bench, already considered a position with a good view.Not long after he sat down, players from both sides entered the field to warm up.In Ye Feng's opinion, the Lakers players are in very good condition. It can be seen from their shooting percentage when warming up on the court, but the Magic players on the opposite side are a little sluggish. I don't know if it's because they didn't fly to Los Angeles in advance. Start adaptive training.Fortunately, the tallest guy, "Warcraft" Howard was as excited as ever, and the consecutive dunks unsurprisingly aroused boos from the audience.

In fact, for the Magic, the two most important players are Howard and Turkoglu. One is the inside pillar and the other is the organizer of the team's offense. Has the strength to compete with the Lakers.Ye Feng watched Turkoglu and Howard practice all kinds of cooperation in a small area with great interest, and began to look forward to what kind of performance the two would play in the official competition.Although the Trail Blazers and the Magic played against each other in the regular season, the regular season and the playoffs are different. People like Howard rarely feel nervous, and the playoffs can even give him a chance to perform exceptionally. .

But...Ye Feng turned his attention to the guy who was trying to shoot a three-pointer in the Lakers' half. The Lakers' No. 24, with Kobe's character, obviously wouldn't allow Howard to play on the court so easily.Who will come out on top in the finals will be known later.
