Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 246 Everyone Comes

Two or three days before the official start of the Western Conference Finals, Ye Feng's mobile phone was bombarded with text messages, high school coaches and teammates, college coaches and teammates, and some friends he met through various ways, and even one person People who happened to have their numbers with each other sent text messages to cheer him up. Basically, as long as Ye Feng didn't look at his phone for half an hour, dozens of text messages would pop up from it.Although it made him have to turn his phone to silent when he was sleeping, it felt good to be honest, at least he knew that there were still many people who cared about him.

Of course, the situation of other Trail Blazers players is similar to him. What everyone does most in the locker room every day is to read and reply to text messages. Sometimes they come across some particularly humorous jokes and share them with their teammates.McMillan did not stop him. After all, before and after training are private time for the players, and judging from the atmosphere in the locker room, it is really suitable for preparing for the game. The players are very serious during training, but they are very relaxed after training. A very good attitude. If you keep a straight face on and off the court, then you must be under too much pressure and you need to see a psychiatrist.

Originally, Ye Feng thought that text message bombing was the limit of his circle of friends, but when he walked into the Staples Center on the night of the game, he realized that his imagination was very lacking.When most of the fans hadn’t entered the arena, a small area of ​​the stands was full of seats, and the slogan was "Ye, even if you are not in Los Angeles, we still love you", and a vivid UCLA school logo was painted next to it. and the Bruins logo.This area is not far from the field, with Ye Feng's eyesight he can easily identify everyone sitting there, it is precisely because of this that he has the urge to cry.

He saw Stephen Brown who lived in the next block and always called himself to play games, saw Coach Bilson who had a profound influence on his basketball career, saw his high school teammates White, Derek, Robinson and Daniel, and watched When it came to coach Holland, who led the team to win the NCAA championship, saw Enrique and Shipp who fought side by side with him in the Bruins, and even saw that they also played in the league but had no chance to make the playoffs or Collison, Mbah a Moute, Love, and Westbrook, who had already been eliminated in the playoffs, made Ye Feng even more surprised that Abby was also sitting in the crowd, waving at him excitedly.

Seeing Ye Feng looking over here, not only Abby, but everyone else whistled, and took out an even more arrogant slogan. The text on it was very simple, it was "Ye Feng MVP", but From Ye Feng's point of view, they must put away this slogan during the game. To raise such a slogan in front of Kobe at the Staples Center is purely to sow hatred!He ran to McMillan, pointed to the stands, and McMillan also saw the slogan, he laughed, and waved Ye Feng to catch up with old friends first, but the time should not be too long.

Ye Feng nodded, and ran to the stands in three steps at a time, shaking hands and hugging every friend who came to support him.Everyone else spoke words of encouragement full of energy. Only Westbrook was a bit out of the ordinary. He didn't care about the Lakers fans not far away. He patted Ye Feng on the back and said loudly: "Ye, It will be up to you later, give the Lakers some color, and it is best to win this game. If the Blazers can win, I will treat you to the best restaurant in Los Angeles for a big meal tomorrow. Anyway, happiness is the most important thing , I can still afford a meal.”

Ye Feng knew why Westbrook said that. This year the Lakers faced the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs, and they still won with a total score of 4-2. It is understandable that Westbrook has deep resentment towards the Lakers.So he laughed and nodded and said: "Even if you don't say it, I will do it. If you don't remember what happened in Game [-] of last year's playoffs, I will be happy to let you feel it in the regular season next season. Everyone burst into laughter, Westbrook also laughed, and incidentally gave Ye Feng a middle finger, as long as his brain is in order, he definitely doesn't want his team to be killed by his opponent.

When it was Abby's turn, Ye Feng didn't feel embarrassed at all. He took Abby into his arms and kissed her heavily. He didn't attend the table, otherwise Ye Feng would have made a big news.The two of them didn't say anything, their eyes met and it was worth a thousand words. Abby smiled and waved her small fist to cheer up her boyfriend. Ye Feng smiled, hugged her again, and walked back along the passage. Go to the field and continue to warm up.

His action just now was noticed by the Trail Blazers players. Except for veteran players like Camby and Miller, everyone else looked at Ye Feng ambiguously, their eyes full of jokes.But now it's warm-up time, everyone didn't "flirt" with Ye Feng, they just expressed their opinions with their eyes.After this episode, Ye Feng warmed up even more energetically. After all, there were so many people watching him from the sidelines. If he didn't perform well in the game, he would be sorry for their trust!

This time the Lakers' starting lineup seems familiar. Compared with last year's Western Conference semifinals, there are only two changes. One is that Bynum is used at the fifth position to partner with Gasol, and the other is that Trevor Ariza is replaced at the third position. Became Artest.For a team like the Lakers, which is strong and has no obvious weaknesses, the Blazers obviously can't go slanted, and can only play with their most conventional lineup. After a season of tempering, McMillan is not I believe that the players under his command can't even drag the Lakers into the tiebreaker like last season.

Therefore, the Trail Blazers put out their most commonly used starting lineup in the second half of the regular season: point guard Miller, shooting guard Roy, small forward Ye Feng, power forward Aldridge, and center Camby.In fact, after comparison, it can be found that the Trail Blazers' lineup is comparable to the Lakers' starting lineup. In some positions, the Blazers may have a slight advantage, such as point guard.But the most important thing now is, can Roy block Kobe's attack?Can Ye Feng break through Artest's blockade?Can Camby prevent his physical weakness from being magnified in front of Bynum?
