Versatile Point Forward
Chapter 7
Chapter 7
"Hmm... my head hurts... White, you bastards, you dare to drink me wine..." Ye Feng lay on the bed with half-opened eyes, muttering to himself.
At the end of last night, everyone was having a good time. As the ace of the team, Ye Feng also received the most "care". Feng's physique was still in a daze, and in the end it was Coach Bilson who drove him back.
Suddenly Ye Feng slapped his head: "It's over, it's over! I remember a scout from a university team came to visit today. Damn, how can I go out to meet people when I'm just woken up from a hangover?" Jumping out of bed, scrambling to put on clothes and pants, ready to sneak to the bathroom to brush teeth and wash face.
But when he just stepped out of the room, Guo Yu's voice rang inappropriately: "Xiao Feng, come here, this is Mr. Bill Perkins, a scout from the Duke University Blue Devils, he is very interested in you On the sofa next to him, a middle-aged man dressed in formal attire and with his hair combed meticulously nodded at Ye Feng with a smile.
Ye Feng showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Mr. Perkins, hello, I think I will respect you and Duke University more if I go to wash up now..." After finishing speaking, Ye Feng ignored his parents' weird expressions , fled in despair.
Five minutes later, Ye Feng tidied himself up a bit and came out of the bathroom, nodded to Perkins, and sat on his mother's left side.
Perkins coughed lightly and said, "Dear Ye, you must be very clear about my intentions. As one of the teams with the longest history in the NCAA, we have been the top team in the NCAA for a long time, and in recent We had a good record in 2001 and even won the championship in [-]. If you can join us, I think the old coach K will be ecstatic."
Ye Feng smiled and said: "It is my honor to be favored by Duke, and you are right, Duke is indeed a strong team. Since the 1984-85 season, Duke has won the championship under the old coach K. 4 championships, 11 final semi-finals, 19 sweet sixteens, all the highest records in the entire NCAA in the past 20 years."
Hearing Ye Feng's compliment, the smile on Perkins' face gradually subsided.Even though he is just a scout, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand the world. According to the general rule, this kid will say "but" soon.
Ye Feng did not let Perkins down, he changed the subject: "But, dear Mr. Perkins, could you please introduce the current main force of the team? With all due respect, Duke seemed to stop at last season first round."
There was an elusive look in Perkins' eyes, and he said with a little pride: "Now our team's trump card is Gerald Henderson, the team's starting shooting guard. After Josh McRoberts participated in the draft , he will be our main scoring point in the new season."
"And before coming here I've convinced Kyle Singler, Oregon's player of the year this year, and he's a first-team All-American just like you. I'm sure he'll be yours on the wing. Good partner."
"Leaving aside the players, you should be very clear about what the old coach K represents. He has worked in Duke for 20 years and won countless honors. As long as he is in charge, Duke is an undoubted strong team in the NCAA."
Ye Feng applauded lightly: "Mr. Perkins, I have to admit that your eloquence is really good, and as you said, the old coach K is the guarantee of Duke's record. I don't know if I join the Blue Devils, I will play one Where is it?"
Perkins smiled and said, "Ye, according to your current height, I think the coach will arrange you to play shooting guard..."
Ye Feng waved his hand: "Mr. Perkins, I think you have forgotten one thing. I am now 1.95 meters tall, but it does not mean that I cannot continue to grow taller. And as far as I know, Henderson is from your school. Starting shooting guard, and Singler playing small forward, so...whether I grow taller or not, how will this position be distributed?"
Perkins obviously didn't expect Ye Feng to ask such a sharp question, he stammered and said: "This... I think the coach will arrange it according to the training status... After all, you are all very good players... "
Ye Feng still kept smiling, but his tone became light: "Thank you very much for answering my question. However, there is a saying in China called Think Twice Before Acting, which means that you need to think more before doing something, so please give me Some time, I need to make my own judgment."
Perkins smiled reservedly: "No problem, kid, I agree with you Chinese, but I want to face Duke's invitation, few people can refuse, isn't it?"
Then he packed up the documents, politely said goodbye to Ye Ning and his wife, and Shi Shiran left.When the door was closed, Guo Yu's right hand found Ye Feng's ear with ease: "Stinky boy, don't think I don't know, are you dissatisfied with Duke? Think twice as an excuse."
Ye Ning also frowned and said, "Small forward, isn't Duke University very good? It often ranks in the top ten in the national university rankings, and their basketball level is really good, the level of Mike Krzyzewski Needless to say, it sounds like their ace is at a high level right now."
Ye Feng shook his head, he dared to speak his mind now, if Perkins was still around, he would definitely despise this kid's arrogant thoughts: "That's right, Henderson and Singler are indeed excellent Players, but one thing, it is obvious that they cannot guarantee my main position!"
"Wait!" Ye Ning's eyes widened, "You said you want them to guarantee your main position? No matter which university you are a rookie who just entered, why should others offer the main position with both hands?"
Ye Feng said firmly: "Dad, I won't look down on others, but I won't belittle myself either. You know my skill level very well. It's definitely not too much to ask for a main position. And one of their most promising core players is No. [-] One is number three, what am I going to do?"
While the family was still arguing, the doorbell rang. Guo Yu glanced angrily at his son, who was still alive despite the indiscriminate bombardment by himself and his husband, and stood up to open the door.Standing at the door was a young man who was a little shorter than Ye Feng, but with well-defined muscles and a somewhat strange appearance. Behind him was an old man with gray hair who was still hale and hearty, sitting in a wheelchair.
Guo Yu was very surprised. Before she could ask, the young man asked politely, "Excuse me, this is..." He scratched his hair, looked down at his phone, "Ye... Feng...'s home ?"
"Yes, I am his mother, may I ask you..."
The young man grinned and said, "Hi aunt, my name is Russell Westbrook, from California State University Los Angeles, and this is our team's meritorious coach——John Wooden."
Guo Yu, who usually doesn't care much about the NCAA, didn't react, but after hearing this sentence, Ye Feng jumped up like a spring on his buttocks, calm as Ye Ning was also shocked.
Who is John Wooden?This is a name that can never be avoided when talking about the NCAA.If the old K coach is the guarantee for the Duke Blue Devils to win, then Mr. Wooden is the symbol of the UCLA Bruins, and his name is a legend that makes everyone crazy.
In the 27 years of coaching UCLA, he led the team to 10 NCAA championships, including an unprecedented seven consecutive championships (1967-1973). The 88-game winning streak is also the highest record in NCAA history. There are many NBA historical superstars including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton.It can even be said that without him, there would be no UCLA, which is now famous in the NCAA.
Ye Feng ran to the door in three steps at a time, pushed Mr. Wooden in respectfully, and at the same time told Westbrook to find a place to sit.Looking at the respectful Ye Feng, the old man showed a gratified smile, and he said softly, "Ye, I won't beat around the bush, old man. This time I came here specially to invite you to join us at UCLA." Then he added Said: "This is my personal behavior, Russell..." He glanced at the excited Westbrook sitting beside him, "I just asked him to accompany me here in a private name."
Ye Feng nodded and looked at Westbrook jokingly: "As a basketball player living in Los Angeles, I don't know anything about the UCLA Grizzlies. Those who can accompany you are definitely not mediocre people. Jiu is the team's ace star. It is said... your school's starting point guard... the basket is not accurate?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Westbrook's face, but he was not angry. He smiled awkwardly and said: "My mid-range is still okay, and the breakthrough is even better. As for the three-pointer... Hahahahaha..."
The old man said helplessly: "His outside shooting has always been a problem, and it seems difficult to correct it. Of course, this is one of the reasons why we need you."
Ye Feng's eyes lit up: "Actually, I would like to know what other reasons the famous coach Wooden can invite me."
"Old man, apart from directing on the spot, I basically didn't miss people. Boy, I have watched the video of your team. You are good, very good. I seem to see another historical superstar rising. This is The first reason."
The old man took a breath and continued: "Secondly, we need a wing who can hold the ball and has a calm mind. Of course, his shooting must be accurate." As he spoke, he gave Westbrook a hard look, and the latter had no choice but to He touched his head and smiled.
"In the past few seasons, every team has been trying to recruit talented high school students. If UCLA only relies on Russell, it will be difficult for us to break through, let alone win the championship."
Ye Feng asked suspiciously: "But you are no longer in the team, can you decide whether you can go to UCLA?"
Before the old man could answer, Westbrook said: "Ye, Coach Wooden is the greatest coach in the history of our school. Now he is still serving as a consultant for the team. As long as you are willing to join, the school will definitely not refuse."
Ye Feng joked: "Go to the team and play inside-out with you, and help you make those damn three-pointers?"
Westbrook grimaced, but didn't speak.In fact, he was still very curious about Ye Feng, otherwise he wouldn't have followed Coach Wooden to visit this kid with his temperament.
Ye Feng took a deep breath and said, "I have one last question. If I join UCLA, where will I be placed?"
A light flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes: "Of course it is the starting small forward. If you can come, if I don't start for you, old man, I will hit the coach's head with a cane."
Ye Feng smiled happily: "Thank you, actually UCLA has always been my goal."
He turned around and held Westbrook's big hand: "Please give me your advice in the new season!"
