Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 100 Mini Training Camp

Under Roy's guidance, Ye Feng went to the locker room to change his jersey and sneakers, and then came to the gym.It seems that the Blazers players plan to train their physical fitness first, and then conduct various tactical training and group confrontation with the ball.Walking into the gym, Ye Feng looked around, only to realize that Roy's so-called "mini training camp" is not mini, at least now there are seven or eight people in the gym wearing Trail Blazers training uniforms, which is more than every season Half of the team's roster cap, including Aldridge, Blake, James Jones and Przybilla, all appeared in this small gym.

At this time, a big man came over and extended his big hand to Ye Feng kindly: "Hi, I'm Oden, nice to meet you, we are teammates this season. Although I'm a year older than you , but after being reimbursed, this season is my rookie season, no different from yours." He laughed out loud.Ye Feng quickly held his big fan-like hand, and said sincerely: "I am also very happy to fight side by side with you. You must know that you are already a legend in the NCAA. Who doesn't know Ohio State's Auden?" ?Hope your injury has healed bro!"

To say that Oden is quite tragic, he injured his right hand in the 2006-07 NCAA tournament stage, and finally missed the championship with regret, but he scored 25 points and 12 rebounds with his left hand alone, suppressing the inside of the University of Florida with his own strength His deeds have been widely praised.However, after being selected by the Trail Blazers, he was completely reimbursed for his rookie season due to a knee injury, making Durant, who was selected by the Supersonics with the second overall pick, successfully become a rising star in the league.Many people think that if Oden can stay healthy, Durant will not get the title of Rookie of the Year so easily.

Looking at the two who were still chatting, Roy smiled, took out a whistle and blew, and all the Blazers stopped their movements. From this, it can be seen that the young captain is still very capable in the team. Can hold the place.Roy motioned for everyone to pause and come to him first, and when his teammates gathered in front of him, Roy said loudly: "This is the rookie we selected this year, Ye Feng from UCLA, let's get to know each other. There are also several rookies, and the general manager is intensively preparing for a trade, so for the time being, only Ye will come to our training camp."

Hearing what the captain said, everyone came up to shake hands with Ye Feng and made a brief self-introduction.Of course, there are also good buddies of Webster, but the NBA is a business league, and transactions between players are very normal. After seeing a lot, they just hug and bless each other when friends leave. I don't have any complaints.But this is also because superstars only occupy a small part of all players in the league. When superstars are dissatisfied with the team sending away their friends, the management will also be a little bit overwhelmed.The closest example to now is McGrady. The team traded away his friend Mike Miller without discussing with him. McGrady lost his temper because of this. A foreshadowing was laid.

Therefore, those people knew that Ye Feng was traded by the Blazers to replace Webster as the team's starting small forward, but they were still very kind to Ye Feng.But, after Ye Feng joins the team, there are many things that a rookie should do. In the history of the NBA, only James, a man of heaven and the savior of the team, can be exempted from these "treatments".Ye Feng is also well aware of this, but he thinks it's nothing. After all, this is the unspoken rule of the NBA. At least everyone can maintain a superficial harmony. As long as they don't hinder each other on the court, there will be basically no problem.

After getting acquainted with each other, Roy waved the others to continue their physical training, and then took Ye Feng to the next room, which was the temporary office of team doctor Don Roberts.Seeing Ye Feng coming in after Roy, Roberts stood up, handed a medical report to Ye Feng, and explained the report in detail.Ye Feng nodded to the side with a bitter face, only hoping that Roberts would finish reading the report quickly.However, after explaining the medical report to Ye Feng, Roberts took out a piece of paper from the pile of documents on the desk and handed it to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng's face turned blue, thinking that Roberts would continue to read, but this time Roberts didn't say a few words, he just told Ye Feng to carry out physical training according to the training items written on this piece of paper.After Ye Feng thanked Roberts, he followed Roy back to the gym just now.Seeing that the wry smile on Ye Feng's face hadn't dissipated, Roy patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Relax, Mr. team doctor is like that. Because there are many professional things on the medical report, he can't help but want to give you Let’s explain it, if it’s an easy-to-understand training plan, he won’t have much desire to explain it.”

There were a few black lines hanging down Ye Feng's forehead, but he had nothing to complain about, so he could only start exercising according to the training plan depressedly.Ye Feng felt nothing at first, even if he didn't have a competition, he would spend a long time in the gym, and he was no stranger to the use of equipment.But the current physical training is already at the NBA level, and soon he felt a completely different training intensity from before.Just finished a project, Ye Feng was already sweating profusely, his breath became a little disordered, and his handsome face was flushed.

At this time, a voice came from the side: "Boy, it's better to be gradual at the beginning. You just entered the NBA from the NCAA. There's nothing shameful if you can't accept this kind of intensity of physical training." Ye Feng turned his head and looked. Resting with a sports drink, he looked at himself with a smile in his eyes.Blake was the main point guard of the Trail Blazers last season, and Roy's backcourt partner. He was born in 1980 and he is 28 years old this year. Regardless of his age or playing experience, it is normal to call Ye Feng a "boy". matter.

Ye Feng wasn't worried either, he nodded and shook his head, and continued to grit his teeth for the next event. According to the training plan, it's not time to rest yet.Ye Feng was particular about nodding and shaking his head. Nodding was to thank Blake for his advice as a senior, and shaking his head was to show that he could hold on, and he didn't need to relax his standards in the first place.Blake looked at Ye Feng who continued to compete with the equipment in surprise, and forgot to drink the sports drink in his hand.Since he joined the NBA in 2003, he has rarely encountered such a desperate rookie. Whether it is the Wizards, Bucks or Trail Blazers, in Blake's view, the only one who can be compared to Ye Feng's training vigor is now The captain of the team, Roy.He secretly sighed: "The Blazers have made another good deal!"

Ye Feng didn't know that his actions had aroused such deep emotion from his new teammates, he was just competing with himself.His education and personal character since he was a child did not allow him to give himself up because of hard work and fatigue. On the contrary, the more he is at this time, the more he likes to face up to difficulties. He knows that the harder the road ahead, the more things he will get in the end. Maybe more precious.And in a new team, there is no game now, a correct training attitude is a shortcut to conquer teammates, which is obviously helpful to integrate into the team, at least teammates can see a person's personality characteristics from the training attitude .

During Ye Feng's training, other people also completed the tasks of this training stage one after another. Everyone sat silently on the equipment, watching Ye Feng sweat profusely there alone.Roy and Aldridge looked at each other and nodded slightly. Although it is not yet known whether this Asian boy can adapt to NBA-level confrontation, at least his training attitude is beyond reproach. With such a mentality and willingness to endure hardships, even There will be no way to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA for a while, and it will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the end.The two of them originally complained about the team's trade away of Webster, but Ye Feng's appearance gave them some confidence. It seems that Webster's departure is not so bad?They are not as optimistic as Blake, it's no wonder, after all, Blake has played three more seasons than them, and has experienced three teams, the vision is not comparable to the two rookies who are about to be in the third grade .

After a while, Ye Feng finally finished all the tasks of physical training this time.Although he drove an all-night train, it was nothing to a vigorous young man like him.Even so, he also felt that the two large pancakes he ate in the morning had been completely digested, and now his stomach started to feel hungry.This is normal, training is a very calorie-consuming thing, not to mention breakfast, sometimes even a big lunch can make players feel empty in their stomachs and want to find some food to replenish their energy.

When he stopped, he found a group of people silently watching him around, with admiration in their eyes.Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, wondering why everyone was watching him training, could it be that his training looks good?It's better for everyone to put a mirror next to them and take a good look at themselves.Seeing that everyone had completed the task, Roy stood up and said, "Okay, if there is no problem, let's go to the court now, and we will have ball training and group confrontation later."

Ye Feng looked around, raised his hand timidly, and said in a low voice, "Is there anything to eat here? I'm hungry."
