The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 73 [Bon voyage]

Ye Feng completed the first lore of his career with a back-dunk, which left an indelible impression on the Los Angeles fans, and also caused some embarrassment to the Lakers uniform team.

A day later, team general manager Kupchak announced a deal with the Grizzlies. The Lakers got Gasol and the Grizzlies' second-round pick in 2010, and at the same time sent the team's center Kwame Brown. , guard Javaris Crittenton, veteran Aaron McGee, Ye Feng four, and two first-round picks in 2008 and 2010 were traded to the Grizzlies.

As soon as the news came out, the official Lakers forum was full of curses. Ye Feng already had die-hard fans in Los Angeles.Pau Gasol has rich experience, can score and pass the ball well, and his strength is definitely higher than that of Ye Feng, but his style of play is soft, and he can't contribute dunks like Ye Feng.Fans don't like Gasol just because he doesn't play with passion.

Only a few fans remained rational. They knew that the Lakers chose to trade because they couldn't keep Ye Feng in the summer. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain.

Ye Feng, who had already made full mental preparations, was dizzy and dizzy when he was shocked by this transaction.His appearance triggered a butterfly effect, and one person was not included in this trade list-Marc Gasol.

In the eyes of others, Marc Gasol is just a second-round rookie with a lower pick than Sun Yue, so it's nothing special.But Ye Feng thought it was too scary.Marc Gasol was the most underrated rookie in 2007, and he is a super center who can play inside and outside. In 2011, the inside twin towers formed by him and Zach Randolph led the Grizzlies to stage a black-eight miracle and eliminated the Spurs. In 2012, he was selected to the NBA All-Star bench?, averaging 14.5 points, 9 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1 steal and 1.8 blocks per game.

After the trade, the Lakers introduced Pau Gasol and Trevor Ariza, and they are already very strong. If they sign Marc Gasol again next year...and renew the contracts of Bynum and Lamar Odom. , How many giants is this?If both Gasols can play at the level of their previous lives, how can the Clippers compete with such a Lakers?
The Lakers had already shown enough sincerity, but Ye Feng insisted on leaving, and felt a little sorry for the love of the coaching staff.The Gasol brothers teamed up, it should be regarded as God's compensation for the Lakers.

The Lakers were going to Golden State to play an away game. Ye Feng could only bid farewell to his teammates. There was no dinner, no party, and not much sadness. He was just another passing passer by the Lakers. The NBA is a business league. Every year, some people come and some leave. The players have long been used to this and become numb.

Ye Feng didn't tell Gabriela that he was going to be traded before, and only said that he was going to Memphis when he received the medical examination notice.

Gabriela sighed, with reluctance showing on his face.She asked: "Are you going to join the Clippers in the summer? Then you will go back to Los Angeles?"

Ye Feng looked at Gabriela, smiled and said: "Yes. I made an agreement with Ariel. I will join the Clippers after this season. I will only stay in Memphis for a few months. I will come back as soon as the regular season is over. . . . but I can no longer live here."

Ye Feng sighed in his heart, a man and a woman live together for a long time, it is inevitable that feelings will develop, he likes Gabriela, but he knows that it is not love, it is more like a close friend or a sister, a kind of relationship between friendship and family affection thing.

If you don't love, don't be together, let alone play ambiguously, especially when you are facing a single-minded, pure and pure girl.This is Ye Feng's principle of life.He believes that if a man seeks excitement and destroys other people's belief in love, it is a crime.I don't want to develop in the direction of a couple, so I will stop when I stop.He waited until now to move, because he wanted to take advantage of the deal to leave, and he didn't want to hurt Gabriela.

He has no relatives and no reason in Los Angeles. After training every day, he practices yoga with Gabriella, chats for a while, and says a few words of concern, so he is not so lonely.He cherishes this relationship very much.

Gabriella couldn't laugh, didn't speak, just sat on the sofa and snapped her fingers.

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Don't be so sad, I will marry a wife in the future, and you will also marry someone. We can't live together forever. We are good friends, and we won't lose contact. I will be in the Clippers next season. You have to go to the scene with Neil to cheer me on."

Gabriella raised her head, her eyes sparkled, she moved her lips a few times, but she only said one sentence—"Bon voyage."

When Ye Feng packed his luggage and left the apartment, Gabriela sent him downstairs, waited for a taxi, and waved him off.

Seeing Gabriela's figure gradually blur through the car window, Ye Feng also felt a little sad, and remembered a Chinese song he liked to listen to when he was a child.

Knowing that you were leaving that day, we didn't say a word.

When the midnight bell knocked on the door of parting heart, it couldn't open my deep silence.

We sent you to the end that day, and we didn't leave a word.

When the crowded platform squeezes the people who bid farewell, but it can't squeeze out my deep sorrow of parting.

I know you have a thousand words, but you don't want to say it. You know I'm so worried and sad, but you don't dare to say it.

When you put your luggage on your back and unload that honor, I can only let the tears stay in my heart, with a slight smile on my face, I wave my hands vigorously, wishing you a smooth journey.

When you step on the platform and walk alone from now on, I can only bless you deeply, bless you deeply, dearest friend, wish you a smooth journey...

Ye Feng closed his eyes and exhaled lightly.The black female driver beside him asked softly, "Young man, where are you flying to?"

"Memphis."

"Will you be going for a long time?" The female driver didn't know Ye Feng. In America, not everyone watches basketball.

"About five months."

The female driver smiled and said, "You have such a beautiful girlfriend and you are willing to go out for half a year. No wonder she is sad."

Ye Feng licked his lips and said: "We are just ordinary friends."

The female driver smiled and said: "She seems to like you very much, her eyes can't lie. You are too young to tell, right? You should take good care of such a girl."

Ye Feng didn't speak again, he could tell, but what could he do?

When he arrived at the airport, he called Ariel, but the phone was turned off.What are you doing?Knowing what time I'm going to fly to Memphis, but the phone is turned off?Ye Feng originally thought that Ariel would at least go to the airport to see him off, this woman's mind is really hard to fathom.

After getting on the plane, Ye Feng sat with Kwame Brown, the number one parallel importer kept frowning.Ye Feng smiled and said: "Kwame, it's just a change of team, you are now worth tens of millions, what are you worried about?"

Brown sighed: "Ye, you are different from me. You can get a big contract next year. The boss is almost a family with you, so he will definitely not treat you badly. But I am also in the contract year, and I don't know where I will be next year." .”

Everyone on Earth knew that Ye Feng would join the Clippers.At this time, the best words to comfort Brown might be: "Next year, you can go to the Clippers to help me!" But Ye Feng dare not say it, because the close meaning of that sentence is "Next year, you can go to the Clippers to grab money!"

Ye Feng said lightly: "Kwame, I don't think it's a bad thing to go to the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are a bad team. There's no pressure. You can let go. Isn't it easier to collect statistics there than stay with the Lakers?

Brown figured it out right away, and clapped his hands: "You're right, I want to brush up the data, play beautiful data, and strive for a big contract!"

Ye Feng smiled, not knowing what to say.As the number one scholar, Brown didn't feel insulted when he heard such words, but found inspiration.The No. [-] pick mixed up to fight for stats in a weak team. What did Jordan like in him back then?

After chatting with Brown for a while, Ye Feng began to close his eyes and meditate, he couldn't let go of one thing, why didn't Ariel answer the phone?I hope it's not something difficult to encounter, which makes him a little worried.

His worries disappeared when he left the Memphis airport.A conspicuous green Hummer was parked outside the airport, the door was open, and in front of the door was a blond beauty wearing a flowered dress, black pants, and a pair of sunglasses, who was waving at him, who was it not Ariel?

Ye Feng was depressed because Ariel didn't see her off at the airport just now, but he didn't expect her to be sent directly to Memphis.

When Ye Feng, Brown, and Crittenton walked to the front of the car, Ariel said with a smile: "You guys are really slow to come out, I have been waiting for half an hour."

Ye Feng looked at her, then at the eye-catching car, threw his bag on the car, and said with a smile: "Sorry, Susan (Invisible Woman), we will use this car to deal with the crazy Hao What about Human Torch and Golem?"

Ariel winked at him, put her hand on his shoulder, and said softly, "Leave them saving the world, Reed (Mr. Fantastic), maybe we can go to the hotel to do something first." .”

In the Fantastic Four, "Mr. Fantastic" and "Invisible Woman" are a pair.Crittenton also watched American manga, and when he heard them talking, his expression became very exciting. "My teeth are sore. Please don't be so ambiguous in front of me, a poor bachelor who has no one to send or accompany me. I will be very, very jealous."

"Get in the car, I'll take you to the medical examination." Ariel smiled and said, "You have been on the plane for so long, today I will be the driver."

Ye Feng was not polite either, and said with a smile: "Thank you, let's go."
