The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 156 [Put the long line, catch old fish]

On the 28th, Ye Feng accompanied Ariel to a charity ball held in Los Angeles.

Charity is not a matter of liking or disliking, but a manifestation of a country's maturity.There are three distribution processes of social wealth. One is more pay for more work, which is what most countries encourage now; Help the poor through charity.

Without the latter two approaches, the gap between the rich and the poor will inevitably be too large. Therefore, encouraging charity and improving charity mechanisms are effective ways for a country to maintain stability, especially in capitalist countries.

2006年6月，超级富豪巴菲特向5个慈善基金会捐出其所持有的财产，这笔捐赠约合375亿美元。5个慈善基金会分别是比尔与梅琳达.盖茨基金会、以巴菲特已故妻子命名的“苏珊.汤普森.巴菲特基金会”及其三个子女各自掌管的慈善基金会。

In 2008, Bill Gates invested more than 200 billion U.S. dollars into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Gates couple have always expressed that they will donate most of their property.As for the children, Gates said that he would only leave 1000 million US dollars in stock to each of the three children and the 1 million US dollars mansion in which they lived.For Gates, a charitable foundation with huge assets means the beginning of a new career, and his role will transform from a business entrepreneur to a social entrepreneur.

American steel magnate Carnegie once said: "It is a shame to be rich when you die." He used 95% of his wealth for public welfare during his lifetime, and his contemporaries such as Rockefeller and Ford followed suit.Today, there are still many rich people in the world who are following in the footsteps of their predecessors.After they possessed huge wealth, they resolutely chose the former between giving back to the society and leaving rich family property to their children.Some people say it's a name-grabbing trick, and some people say it's a tax evasion trick. In any case, the charity they are engaged in has already been carried out.

In Los Angeles, even Donald Sterling, who is known for his stinginess, has engaged in charity.

Before the start of the new season in 2006, Corey Maggette was full of expectations for the prospects of the Clippers, and he would let go if he won, but a group of ESPN experts laughed at his naivety.Maggette contested these people with a kind of benign gamble: every game the Clippers won, he would donate $500 to UCLA's Mattel Children's Hospital.

In the second round of the playoffs, Maggette was the clear winner, but it was the children in the hospital who really benefited.Maggette's approach moved Donald Sterling, who also donated $10 like Maggette.

Because of this incident, people's impression of Sterling has changed a little. When he stood in the middle of the court and handed a huge check of 10 US dollars to Dr. Sakamoto, the head of the Children's Hospital, people said that It's a miracle of miracles.The fans also gave him applause without hesitation.

However, Donald was not interested in participating in this charity ball, and most of the people present were Hollywood stars and young people.The theme of the ball is the [-]nd Charity Fur Ball, which is dedicated to raising funds for the "Save the Cats Charity Project" and "Cats Save the Sanctuary", and appeals to caring people in the society to help stray cats and dogs.

The event was hosted by Hollywood actress Jenna Fisher, who starred in the hit American drama "The Office".

As the love ambassador of the "Save the Cats" public welfare charity, Jenna Fisher has been involved in "Save the Cats" related activities since 2001, and has been serving as a volunteer to open the door to temporarily take in those abandoned stray pets. Agencies will find suitable loving homes for them.

Ariel would also participate in this kind of event every year, Ye Feng was not interested in saving these "cats", he thought that the dance would be deserted, but he was wrong, he was so surprised that he almost dropped his eyeballs.
The dance party was held at the Hilton Hotel, the scene was extremely lively with bright lights and loud voices.The two showed their invitations and entered the hall.As soon as they entered the door, Paris Hilton came up to say hello.She has a good relationship with Ariel, but the look in Ye Feng's eyes is not very friendly, the atmosphere is a bit awkward.This is not the first time Ye Feng has seen Hilton. He knows that this eldest sister is a die-hard Lakers fan and has always supported Kobe.

During a game, a reporter from a gossip TV station caught Hilton who was watching the game from the sidelines. Knowing that she had never been shy about speaking, the reporter asked about Hilton’s impression of the Lakers, and then asked her ambiguously about her impression of Kobe. If possible, what is she willing to do for Kobe?
Hilton lived up to expectations. After answering a bunch of nonsense to the first question, she changed the subject and directly cut to the second topic. She said: "Kobe is my favorite star. He is so sexy, charming, and full of masculine charm. If possible, I would like to have a child for him..." Afterwards, the audience screamed.

People who are willing to have children for Kobe will certainly not feel pleasing to the eyes when they see hungry wolves who are against Kobe.This famous slut in the entertainment industry can change boyfriends faster than she can change clothes, but she doesn't just go crazy when she sees a handsome guy.

There were also some Hollywood stars, music kings and queens who came to join in the show.Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway, Avril Lavigne and other female stars are very eye-catching.

What Ye Feng paid attention to was another person, Derek Fisher - the "old fish" of the Lakers.He was also there with his family.
Ye Feng waved to Fisher: "Hey, Derek, brother, I'm here."

You're none of my business here, it's like I made an appointment with you.Fisher greeted Ye Feng awkwardly, his daughter liked cats and dogs, and was interested in this dance, so Fisher, being a good father, came here.

Away from the reporter's sight, Fisher entered the venue, and Fisher said: "Boy, do you know that I really want to pin you to the ground and beat you up? Don't you have to compete with the Lakers and step on Kobe's position before you give up?"

Ye Feng smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Of course, the Lakers are the best team in the Western Conference right now, and they are very likely to enter the finals again. Of course, we must choose the strongest opponent. My goal is also the championship."

Ye Feng said his thoughts indifferently, but Fisher didn't know what to say.It's not that a team naturally wants to compete, it's just that his methods are too aggressive. After all, he was a teammate, which is unacceptable.

Fisher said lightly: "I admit that you are doing well now, which is great, but if you stayed with the Lakers, we might have won the championship last season. Your choice really makes me angry."

Ye Feng said softly: "If I were here last season, the Celtics would not be easy to play. Derek, I have something to ask you. Your contract will expire next year. Are you interested in coming to the Clippers to meet me?" Join forces?"

Fisher was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I was blown up like that by Barea, why don't you let me slow down?"

Ye Feng was still smiling. "You are slow, but you have rich experience in the playoffs and are an important puzzle for the championship. You know what to do at critical moments, and you will remind young people and teach them a lot of things. Bringing you over will not only help the team , You can still be an assistant coach after retiring in the future. And you are the chairman of the players union, and you have connections, so there are too many benefits."

It seems that he really wants to win me over, Fisher frowned and said: "I talked with Divac, he said that your scheming is terrible, now it seems that it is true, Ye, you don't look like a young man at all. "

In the Lakers, Kobe still has hope of winning without O'Neal, but he has nothing without Fisher.Kobe couldn't rely entirely on himself to stabilize the team's morale.Without Fisher, Bryant was a lone dictator in the locker room.

During the three years from 2004 to 2007, Fisher played between the Golden State Warriors and the Utah Jazz. Kobe was a big driving force for him to return to the Lakers.Similarly, Bryant will not allow Fisher to leave the Lakers, he understands that Fisher is the bridge between him and his young teammates.The contributions made by Lao Yu are invisible to outsiders.Outsiders can't see it, but Ye Feng, who used to be one of his own, knows it very well.

When Ye Feng heard such comments, he didn't think it was ironic at all, he smiled and said: "Only mature people know how to use the advantages around them to achieve themselves and win the championship as soon as possible. Who doesn't want young players to mature quickly? Kupchak and Jackson admired me for that last season. Do you want to know the inside story of me leaving the Lakers?"

"You want to say, can I still keep your mouth shut?" Fisher also felt strange why Ye Feng was traded to the Grizzlies. Kobe also wanted to keep him.

Ye Feng briefly told Fisher the conditions offered by the Lakers last year to keep him. Hearing that the team even promised to trade Kobe, Fisher couldn't help being moved.If he heard such words at the beginning of last season, he would have doubts, but now it seems that Ye Feng really has such value.This guy is a freak, knows how to play basketball, and is improving so fast.

"This is the truth, believe it or not. I had the opportunity to be the core of the Lakers, but I am happier playing in the Clippers. Next year, the Clippers will have a vacant spot waiting for your reply. I will go to Ariel and think about it Let's go." Talking too much will make people suspicious, Ye Feng left after finishing speaking.

Thibodeau wanted to introduce Nash in 2010, but Ye Feng felt that Nash needed to hold the ball to be effective, and his defense was poor. If Nash wanted to play well, he had to sacrifice his offensive ability with the ball.It is better to dig Fisher than Nash, who is cheap and experienced, and can shoot three-pointers at critical moments.And Mutombo will definitely retire in two years.The Clippers locker room needs new veterans to maintain harmony, and Fisher is the perfect fit.

He talked with smart people, never beat around the bush, and directly showed his benefits and sincerity.He didn't say much, didn't ask for an answer.The Lakers currently have the No. [-] record in the Western Conference. Fisher will not just walk away. They are still the favorites to win the championship.

In an interview, Kobe said that entering the playoffs, the Lakers will definitely win the Clippers, mainly because the Clippers lack playoff experience.Ye Feng felt uncomfortable hearing such words, if they really met in the playoffs, he would work hard to win.
