Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 304 The team is handed over to you
One table, two glasses of wine, two people.

Alcohol is an ordinary cocktail. No professional player would go to the small bar to order spirits like whiskey after the start of the training camp, but people are not ordinary people. Ye Feng and Roy sat face to face, looking at each other quietly.Fortunately, the location of this table is relatively remote, and most of it is hidden in the dark. Otherwise, because of the fame of the two in Portland, this small corner will be crowded with crazy fans.

Ye Feng was actually very puzzled. When Roy stopped him after the training and said he wanted to buy him a drink, he was a little shocked and also a little funny.In fact, the personal relationship between the two can only be regarded as good, not for the sake of strong buddies. In comparison, Ye Feng may be closer to that big man Auden, so he feels a little strange about Roy's invitation.Originally, he wanted to refuse, uh... Our classmate Ye Feng didn't go to the bar too many times, at least he hasn't patronized it since he became a professional player. Guys communicate privately.

But he didn't expect that Roy would be straightforward when he opened his mouth: "Ye, I hope you can take on the responsibility of the team leader this season, and I will also make my suggestions to Mr. McMillan. I think you are more suitable for this position... "

"Wait, wait!" Ye Feng quickly interrupted him, "Brandon, I didn't understand what you meant, I even wondered if I drank too much. You said that I should take on the responsibility of the team leader What about you? Don’t tell me the general manager is ready to trade you out.”

Roy smiled slightly, but there was some bitterness in his smile: "You are the most special teammate I have ever seen, I think if I said this to LaMarcus, Nicholas or even anyone else, They will definitely be too excited to find the north, but only you still care about the reason why I said these words. Rest assured, the team has not planned to send me away. It is my own decision. It's been really good for a while…”

There was a black line on Ye Feng's forehead, he made a pause gesture, and said helplessly: "That's because you have a truce, okay? If you can still represent the team, I can definitely help you, and I don’t think I did a good job either. Look at the end, didn’t I lead the team to the championship? Now that you’re back, the position of team leader is still yours. Why, you can think I’m still young, no in a hurry!"

Although there was some joking in the last sentence, Roy restrained his smile and his expression became serious. He shook his head and said, "I don't know much about your Chinese thinking. I always feel that other people's words have different meanings." The meaning is the same. I won’t tell you why I have such an idea, you can recall some of my performances in the team competition, and we will discuss this issue.”

Intra-team match?Ye Feng remembered that Roy's performance in the duel was not good, it could even be said to be the biggest weakness of the main team, even the old Miller's performance was better than him.Judging from the details, Roy really wants to play well. The sweat on his training clothes and facial expressions prove this, but determination does not mean that he can play well.The breakthrough he was proud of disappeared, and he didn't even dare to make moves when defending Matthews. The things he did most on the court were running, catching, and shooting, but the touch was cold enough, and it wasn't two shots at a time. times, many times.

Speaking of Matthews, Ye Feng suddenly realized why he couldn't remember Roy's performance. Roy's substitute played very well, even overshadowing Batum, who was also on the substitute side. , You must know that Batum was an important member of the rotation last season. After Roy was injured, he swung down to the second position as the starter, and he performed well.But this time Matthews has faintly become the leader of the bench. Although he is not as conscientious as Fernandez in sorting out the offense, his offensive range is very wide and he can send the ball to the basket in various ways.

This is the advantage of a young team. There are not so many intrigues in the team, and there are no messy off-court relationships. As long as you have the ability, you can be regarded differently by your teammates, and you can get more opportunities even in official games.And Matthews is not a rookie, he is about to start the second season of his career in Portland, he is still good in terms of worldly skills, coupled with his gentle personality, it is easy to gain a foothold in the team.

Recalling Roy's performance in the confrontation match, Ye Feng's expression looked a little embarrassed. He hemmed and said: "Well...how should I put it? Actually, your performance is still good. We opened up the space..."

Roy knocked on the table angrily: "Okay, now is not the time to flatter me, let's be serious. I know my physical condition. I was still a little lucky, thinking that after a rest After the adjustment of the season, the normal level should be restored, but now it seems that I am a little too optimistic. In fact, in addition to the hospital designated by the team, I have also visited many famous doctors and sports recovery experts. Not too optimistic about my recovery in the short term, and my performance in training camp has proved it, and I am mentally prepared."

"I can stop, but the team can't. To be honest, you took them to the Finals last season and really surprised me. I didn't expect you to play such a good performance and even beat the Lakers. From this year Judging from the situation in the summer trading market, except for Miami, there are almost no absolutely dominant teams. This is our opportunity. You can lead the team to the finals last season, and I believe this season can also be the same. That's why I think you are the best person to be the leader of the team, and your performance is indisputable evidence."

Ye Feng was silent. He knew that what Roy said was the truth, and there were some very secret things. For example, he contacted other experts in private, and Roy also told the whole story. Obviously, he himself thought that he would not last long. The knee injury Disease is the worst enemy for every athlete.Now he can't help but refuse. As a member of the Trail Blazers, he has the responsibility to lead the team to move forward.As Roy said, his performance in the final stage of last season is his most dazzling resume, and becoming the new leader of the team is a matter of course.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng didn't show any pretense anymore, he raised his cup and said softly, "Cheers to the future of Portland!"
