Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 206 Welcome back
The All-Star Weekend did not leave a deep impression on Ye Feng. After communicating with Nuggets coach Carl, he played only 10 minutes and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. mediocre data.In addition to Roy's retirement due to injury, Kobe and Iverson also withdrew from the All-Star Game due to injury and were replaced by Kidd and David Lee respectively.In the end, Ye Feng's idol Wade scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 5 steals to help the Eastern Conference All-Stars win 141-139, and also won the first All-Star Game MVP of his career.

None of this has anything to do with Ye Feng, he just played soy sauce, and the reason why he played for 10 minutes was only because his style of play suits Karl's taste. An all-around forward who can run, jump, organize and shoot is the type Karl admires most.As for the Rookie Challenge, Ye Feng only played for 20 minutes and scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists in an understatement. As one of the top players in the second year, Ye Feng's soy sauce attitude also affected other teammates , In the end, the sophomore team's seven-game winning streak was ended. Tyreke Evans scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists and won the rookie game MVP.

After returning from Dallas, Ye Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. The All-Star Game is a good time to relax, but it is very hard for the players participating in the game, because they have to put on a show, accept interviews, and participate in various activities. Except for those players who urgently need recognition, everyone else regards this as a serious task, such as Ye Feng.Because he is now focusing all his energy on the team's regular season journey, not to mention that he is still an All-Star substitute this time, and he can play casually. The team's record is more important. on him alone.

But as soon as he returned to Portland, Ye Feng received good news: Roy is about to return and will play in the home game against the Clippers on February 2.He couldn't help but punched his fist hard. Although the Blazers had a record of 16 wins and 12 losses in the 8 games Roy truce, and Ye Feng was also getting better, he would feel very tired after every game. After all It is a lot of pressure to encounter the defense of the opponent's top wing gate every game.Of course, not every team has a wing defender above the standard, but it is an indisputable fact that it becomes the opponent's defensive focus.

Now that Roy is back, he can share the defensive pressure, and the two ball-holding points can better execute the team's tactics.And Roy has averaged 23.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5 assists per game so far this season, which is a big gap.Although McMillan came up with a combination of two point guards in the backcourt, Roy's status cannot be shaken by others. Although Fernandez has returned, he often plays as the team's backup guard, and Baylor is still the starter. Smith and Blake rotate with each other, and Miller, as old as Miller, can't make up for his absence.

Ye Feng wasn't worried that Roy would get back the power of the organization after he came back, because this in itself meant that Roy was ordered in danger after being injured, and it was normal for Roy to get it back.And when he first came back, the coaching staff would not give Roy a lot of playing time. In addition to letting him get back to his game state, the main reason was to prevent Roy from being injured again, so Roy would take part of the ball, but not Compete with Ye Feng for command, even if Ye Feng doesn't mind returning to playing without the ball.Although Ye Feng has a purely American basketball background, he is Chinese. If he is replaced by other American players, I won't let him out if he takes the commanding power.

The official game also proved that Roy has not yet come out of the shadow of injury. Although McMillan put him in the starting lineup, Roy only played 15 minutes and scored 7 points and 2 shots on 4 of 2 shots. Steals, but in the limited playing time Roy still performed quite actively, 2 steals are the best proof.However, the team's victory over the Clippers was due to Ye Feng and Aldridge's two cores, one inside and one outside. This time Aldridge's partner was replaced by Uncle Huo. Under his escort, Ade The audience scored 16 points and 9 rebounds on 22 of 9 shots. Ye Feng completely transformed into an attacker. The comprehensive data of 28 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists speaks for itself. The center of gravity tilted toward scoring, and the starting point guard Miller easily scored 12 assists.

Although Roy's stats were not good and he didn't play much time, Ye Feng obviously felt that the defensive pressure on him was greatly reduced when he was on the court at the same time. It seemed that the Clippers were still very afraid of Roy, a new star.Ye Feng never thinks that the opponent's attention means that he has no status. He hopes that the opponent will treat him as a dispensable little person, which will make it easier for him to do things on the court, so he is happy to see the Clippers focus on defending Roy. Otherwise, it would be impossible to score as many as 28 points easily.Roy also discovered this secret, but he didn't say anything, instead he tried his best to attract the defense. This is the advantage of playing with smart people, because they will decide how to play according to actual needs, so as to make it easier for teammates .

But what surprised Ye Feng was that just after defeating the Clippers in the Rose Garden, the team immediately reached a deal with the other side, exchanging the depressed Blake and the injured Outlaw for the Clippers backup center Camby.Camby was the No. 1996 pick in 4. He is an excellent defensive center. He has won 1998 blocked shots in his career (2006, 2007, 2008, 2007), tying the NBA historical record. Mark Eaton and "Skyhook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are four-time shot-blocking leaders.In addition, Camby was the best defensive player in [-], was selected to the first team of the best defensive team twice, and was selected to the second team of the best defensive team twice.There is no doubt that his joining can enrich the Blazers' extremely empty restricted area due to injuries. His rich game experience also makes him the best partner and mentor around Aldridge. As for Uncle Huo, he will return to the fourth position It's better, and the fifth position really suffers a lot.

Although he was a little sad about Outlaw's departure, Ye Feng knew very well that in the commercial league of the NBA, any transaction could happen. As the so-called iron-clad battalion, he could only wish Outlaw a good life in Los Angeles , and is full of expectations for Camby's joining.
