The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 404 [New Year, Baby Plan]

This year, Ye Feng's awareness of passing the ball began to improve. After playing for a long time, practice makes perfect. He catches the ball at the top of the arc and has a wide field of vision.The teammates wanted to help Ye Feng get assists. Gasol, Love, and Smith basically shot the ball as long as there was a chance of misalignment on the outside.Curry, Thornton and others also like to shoot after catching the ball, so it is easy to get assists.

What also made the home fans excited was that the Clippers had another surprise player in the lineup, and the game entered garbage time. Rookie Isiah Thomas also got the chance to play and scored 7 points in 11 minutes.He is very suitable for pick-and-roll tactics, fast, and has a good shot. After the game, the media said that the Clippers found Barea's replacement. They like such a characteristic player.

After the game, Ye Feng briefly accepted the interview and rushed home to attend the New Year party.The Clippers will have no game tomorrow and will take a day off to play against the visiting Portland Trail Blazers on January 1.

If you want to ask Ye Feng how he feels about this season, there is only one word - "Tired".The schedule is too dense. Fortunately, the Clippers have 14 players enough to guarantee lineup rotation, and two players can take turns.

The NBA lockout is over, players and fans are jubilant, but for each team, their troubles have just begun.

In the regular season of the new season, each team will play two more games per month on average than in previous years, and will face 3 back-to-back challenges, and some teams will even experience 3 back-to-back games in the regular season.This arrangement is undoubtedly a huge challenge for those aging teams, which is likely to cause injuries to the team, and even change the rhythm of the team's impact on the playoffs.

The only good news is that of each team's 66 regular season games, 48 ​​of them are against teams from the same division, and the remaining 18 are against teams from another division. All away.However, for the excitement of the game, the confrontation between the strong teams is still necessary. The main beneficiaries are the underdogs of last season. Their audience is small, so the league will not arrange them to fight against the strong teams.

The players are suffering from running around, especially the old players will encounter a physical crisis, but in order to make money, the league can't care so much. There is no doubt that this will affect the excitement of the regular season and playoffs.

The short reinforcement time has also brought troubles to the teams. Judging from the past situation, the recruitment of free agents can be done slowly. The team can first observe the player's state, and then decide whether to cooperate with the team according to the needs of the team. the contract.According to past practice, free agents can be contacted and signed on July 7, and there is a full four months to "allow you to think twice."However, nowadays, these links can only be completely omitted.The team and players can only "follow the feeling".This led to many bad contracts in the new season.

Secondly, a large number of players ate, drank, whore and gambled during the offseason, and their condition dropped and their weight increased sharply, which seemed to be unsuitable for appearing on the court.Aaron Brooks made his CBA debut in China and only scored 4 points. In addition, the king's star Tyreke Evans has also declined again. His weight has increased by 20 pounds. Lateral movement is slower and very awkward in position selection.Playing the 1st position is too slow, the 2nd position has no three-pointers, and the 3rd position is short.He is an all-around player, but also "all-powerful", and his statistics decline every year.

This year is very similar to the lockout in 1998. In that lockout, a lot of players who were not self-disciplined were exposed to the world. 290 pounds, since then the rain man has become a fat guy.Another example is his good buddy Vin Baker, who drank crazily during the lockout period. As a result, the low-level people and gods were all angry, and his average per game dropped rapidly from 19.2 points to only 13.8 points, embarking on the road of self-sacrifice.Although there are lessons learned from 13 years ago, it is really not easy to ask the team to practice sharp eyes and identify those big players who are not enterprising during the lockout period in just 14 days.

Because of Ye Feng, the Clippers didn't make a mistake in picking anyone. Other teams were not so lucky.Bear the brunt of the Rockets, they signed Zach. Randolph data dropped to 14 points and 8 rebounds.There is also Lamar Odom who transferred to the Hornets. No player in NBA history has declined so quickly in state and mentality like Odom.He has gone from being the best sixth man with double-doubles per game to becoming a burden on the team. In the first four games, 25% of his three-pointers and 30% of his two-pointers can only illustrate one aspect of his decline. The super defense ability that the Lakers were once proud of was not shown.

The decline in player status and the decline in the level of competition have led to a decline in NBA attendance this year.Fans are disappointed with the NBA due to the lockout and lengthy labor negotiations, and they are unwilling to pay the bill.Even if the league has figured out a countermeasure and lowered ticket prices to give back to the fans, even so, the loss in this area is still inevitable. The only hot spots in the ball market are only a few cities left, and the Clippers games are still full.

The league's finances have been in deficit in recent years, and many advertisers hope to terminate their cooperation with the NBA. This lockout just gave them a chance to get out. In short, the harm caused by the lockout has gradually emerged.

Ye Feng dragged his tired body back home, the party had already started.Many Hollywood stars came to join in the show, including Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr., who just finished filming "The Avengers".Gabriela and Ian are two vampire stars.

As soon as Ye Feng entered, Adam Sandler immediately asked people to stop the music and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the main character!"

Ye Feng smiled and played tricks with everyone, "Eat, drink and have fun, sorry for coming back late, today the Clippers won another big victory."

Friends applauded and congratulated, Ye Feng put down his mike, and motioned for the staff to play music again, everyone relaxed to their heart's content.

After stepping off the stage, Ariel walked up to him and asked softly, "I'm very tired. I'm sorry I didn't go to your game today."

"It doesn't matter, the hostess should stay at home if you want to have a party. The opponent is just a bull, and he won easily."

Everyone doesn't like to be deserted during the Chinese New Year, so it's a good idea to hold a party at home to make it lively.The villa is too big and needs more popularity.Christmas and New Year are just a few days away, and a strong festive atmosphere envelopes major cities in the United States. Although New Year's Day in the United States is not as lively as Thanksgiving or Christmas, it is also one of the main festivals that are celebrated every year.

After chatting with the guests for a while, Ye Feng and Ariel went up to the second floor with drinks and found a quiet place to sit. Ariel said that she had something to discuss with him.

Ariel smiled and said, "I haven't prepared any special gifts for you this year. They are mixed with the gifts below. Do you have any special wishes?"

Friends exchange gifts during the New Year, put the gifts together and number them, everyone draws, and the numbers count as they are drawn, everyone brings gifts, if you get your own number, it is not impossible, Ye Feng has everything , but Ariel still wants to ask.

Ye Feng thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I don't have any special wish. If I have to say one, I still want a child. I wonder if you are ready?"

If he succeeds in defending his title this season, not to mention other players, even Ye Feng's desire to compete for the championship will not be so strong. He thinks he can have a child next year.Once won three consecutive championships, I have no regrets in my career.

Ariel said lightly: "I knew you wanted this, and I just wanted to talk to you about it, I'm ready."

Ye Feng was stunned and said: "You agreed? I thought I would persuade you for a long time."

Ariel smiled and said: "If it continues, I will be over 30 years old. And you will not be happy, right? I can't be too selfish, let you follow me in everything, in fact, I have already thought about it, Why else would I quit drinking?"

Ariel likes a free and independent life, and thinks that children may take up most of their time, and their future life will revolve around children, and the couple will have less and less private life.However, as people grow older, their personalities change.

Ariel had consulted a doctor before, and the data showed that the divorce rate of couples without children is very high, because now it is basically the wife who does not want children, is afraid of pain, and is out of shape. At first, the husband will accommodate his wife, but the marriage time After a long time, there will be a period of marriage fatigue, and there will be no children to maintain the relationship between the two, and it will naturally lead to divorce.Marriage is very realistic, no one can maintain a sweet period forever, and children are often the mediator in the lives of the two, and they will bring sustenance to people. This child has the blood and characteristics of the two, and is the best psychological sustenance .Only those who have children will truly grow up.Isn't it very fulfilling to hear a child called "Dad, Mom"?
Ariel sighed: "I think having children is a kind of repayment. Think about it, if our parents had repaid my mentality back then, you would not have come to this world, nor would you have known each other, let alone met you." Have a happy life! And I heard that people who generally don’t want children, once they have children, will become very fond of children, especially mothers...so I decided.”

"Thanks, dear."

The two embraced and kissed for a while, when Paris Hilton's voice came from the side. "Wow, you don't want to go back to your room to make people right now, do you? The people below are waiting for you to dance."

Ye Feng was in a good mood, and he didn't blame her for disturbing him, he laughed and said, "Do you know what we talked about just now?"

Hilton raised his head and said softly: "Of course, I should accompany her to see a doctor for consultation. How can you get married and have no children?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "You are not married yet, I thought you would resist this."

Hilton sighed and said, "I haven't found the right person. I like children."

"Thank you." Ye Feng smiled.Maybe everyone has a story behind them. After Hilton gets married, maybe she will be a good wife and mother.
