I can't be a basketball god

Chapter 18 Dances With Monsters
July 7, Long Beach.

An authentic western restaurant.

Ye Feng, Dwyane Wade, and Udonis Haslem, the three of them, went in for food together.

When ordering, Ye Feng and Wade ordered their favorite dishes neatly.

At this moment, Haslem was holding the menu with anxiety on his face.

The legendary Jagged Captain was hesitant about ordering food, Ye Feng was a little surprised, smiled and said, "Udonis, why are you in a dilemma?
This meal is agreed to be treated by Dwyane, you just need to let go of your stomach and eat.

If there are two dishes to choose from, order them all.

You're not a kid anymore, you don't have to choose one and you have to give up the other, don't you still want to save that two or three yuan for Dwyane? "

Dwyane Wade, who has almost been determined to be the cornerstone of the Miami Heat's outside line, also has the capital of pride in his heart, and he is helping.

"Ye Feng, what I said is exactly what I mean.

Although my current advertising value is not high, Nike doesn't like me, nor can I sign LeBron James's 7-year, $9000 million contract.

However, I signed a four-year, $4 million contract with the Miami Heat and was already a fabled millionaire.

I can still afford one or two meals. "

Haslem shook his head, and said seriously, "It's not a matter of two or three dollars, nor is it a matter of giving or not.

In fact, I play golf in Europe, and the salary there is not bad, so it is no problem for me to pay for this meal.

It's just... I'm worried about getting fat physically.

When I think about losing weight, I see hamburgers, pizza, steaks and other food in front of me, just a bunch of calorie numbers.

The two of you have never experienced it, and the process of losing weight is too painful.

You can only eat nutritious meals every day, and you have to practice more every day. If you are tired from training, and you vomit from training, you have to persevere in order to lose excess weight. "

Haslem had lingering fear on his face, and his head said like a rattle: "I don't want to go through those days again."

5 minutes later!
"Give me a vegetable salad, a pasta, and a glass of water, thank you!" Haslem finally ordered what he wanted, saw Wade and Ye Feng, and looked at him like a monster , nor angry.

Instead, he took out a photo from his pocket and handed it over in a serious manner.

Under the puzzled eyes of Ye Feng and Wade, they took a look at the photo, and in the photo was a fat man standing at the airport and smiling brightly.

Wade frowned, looked at Haslem in front of him, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't the person in the photo your younger brother or elder brother?"

Ye Feng didn't speak, and compared the photo with Haslem's appearance.

"It doesn't look like me, does it? The year before last, I was really a fat man."

Haslem laughed and said with recollection, "This photo was taken at the airport when I left the United States and went to Europe.

At that time, my weight was about 25 kilograms more than now, and my body was like blowing up a balloon. Even I disliked myself.

It all started from last season, that is, the 02 draft..."

blah blah blah...

Haslem began to talk about his one-year struggle history, from losing the election to self-destructing and self-abandoning, to leveling up in Europe, and the story of coming back for his dream!

During this time, the waiter delivered the ordered dishes.

Ye Feng was eating steak and pizza, and Wade was eating the burger and pasta in front of him.

The ears are not idle, listening to Haslem talking over there, drinking the water he ordered when he is thirsty, and occasionally eating salad and pasta.

Who would have thought that Haslem, who had a loyal and honest face, could speak so well, and when he talked about his struggle history, his eyes were shining.

Seeing that more than half of the lunch was going to be wiped out, Wade replied while eating, "Then Udonis, you should eat more meat to replenish your energy, otherwise, you won't be able to guard against LeBron James tonight."

"No, you can continue to eat vegetable salad, LeBron just leave it to me." Ye Feng was also cooking, and answered a sentence casually.

Unexpectedly, Wade shook his head, "It's not about who wants to guard against LeBron James.

It's Udonis, and then you have to work hard to show your strength.

If you don't show the strength you deserve, there is no value. Even if you stay, you may not be reused by the Heat.

I've heard that Lamar Odom is about to sign with the Heat. As a star player, the Heat are willing to spend a lot of money to sign him back, and he will definitely occupy the position of a starting power forward.

If you can show your potential or strength at the small forward, you can be eligible to compete for the starting small forward. "

"The reason why this opportunity appears now is entirely because Caron Butler, the main small forward of the Heat, is injured. As a super star of the Heat, what is his potential? I don't need to say more.

If Caron Butler returns this season, no matter how well you play in summer league, you won't have a chance to take his place. "

"actually…"

Haslem, who had been talking non-stop just now, obviously had something to say, but for some reason, he didn't know how to say it.

The Dwyane Wade in front of him had met him not long ago, but what Wade said just now moved him very much.

It's just that the starting small forward opportunity that Wade said in his mouth does not exist in his opinion, because...

"Actually, I'm an insider!" Haslem said it after all, but the scene was a little awkward.

Quiet.

Wade was stunned.

Ye Feng also stopped eating.

"You don't know me yet! Maybe we don't know each other.

Although I am only 203cm tall, in the NCAA arena, I have always played the center position.

In the Euroleague, I was more of a power forward.

The small forward position doesn't match my skills. I don't have a strong scoring ability, neither breakthrough ability nor ball-handling ability, and I don't have an advantage in speed.

so…"

"..." Wade's mouth was bitter.

What is he!
Dare to say what he said just now, it is in vain.

Because there is Barkley, a 198cm insider, he doesn't know what to say to a short insider like Haslem.

"Speaking of Odom's trade, there is quite a lot of movement on the Lakers side." Ye Feng mentioned something and changed the subject in time.

Wade found the steps, and took up the topic with gratitude in his eyes, "The rumors should be true. Payton and Postman Malone, for the NBA championship, should team up with O'Neal and Kobe to form a lineup of four superstars.

Once such a superstar lineup is released, the suspense of the NBA championship in the new season should be gone.

The reason why the Lakers lost to the Spurs last season was because the power forwards and point guards were too weak. With the joining of Payton and Malone, the weakness of the Lakers' lineup was instantly solved.

If the regular season runs well, there should be an undefeated super strong team, and there are few teams that can stop the Lakers.

Just the "OK combination" has already defeated more than 72% of the opponents in the league. Now this Lakers team is terrifyingly strong, and it is very likely to impact the Bulls' record of 10 wins and [-] losses in the regular season. Then, calmly Win next year's NBA championship! "

Wade expressed his thoughts with longing in his eyes. It would be great if the Heat could have such a superstar to join them. In that case, the championship would not be lost.

"If the Lakers have no injuries and no running-in conflicts, they will indeed be the best candidates for the championship." Ye Feng also expressed his opinion.

Wade nodded, not worrying about the problems of the Lakers, because the Lakers are too far away from the Heat.

The current Heat team is in the rebuilding stage. If you are lucky, you should be able to enter the playoffs in the new season. It is simply impossible to break through the Eastern Theater and reach the stage of the NBA Finals, unless an incredible miracle happens .

"No matter how strong the Lakers are, it has nothing to do with our Heat right now.

Let's talk about our opponents tonight!

The first opponent of the summer league, the Heat will face the Cavaliers led by LeBron James. Although this game is not official, it is only the summer league, but it can be regarded as our first game in the NBA. Can't lose the game.

Ye, you and LeBron James were teammates for one year in high school, and you are familiar with him.

Tell me, how should we deal with LeBron James, or what are the weaknesses of LeBron James. "

Ye Feng thought for a while, and then said seriously, "In my opinion, he can become the first high school student and this year's No. [-] scholar. He is really difficult to deal with. He hardly has any major weaknesses!"

"No major weaknesses?"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Wade's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand what Ye Feng said, and quickly asked: "You mean that LeBron has a small weakness?"

"..."

Ye Feng was speechless.

he or something.

I don't remember saying anything like that.

Forget it, anyway, even if he talks nonsense, Wade probably won't be able to tell whether the information in it is true or not.

After all, data can be deceiving on the court, and information is sometimes even worse.

When basketball is on the court, it is about adapting to changing circumstances, and there is also a problem of impromptu performance. No one can say death, and no one can count people as death.

"It's not even a weakness!

It should be a defect in LeBron James' character, but it doesn't seem to be a defect. "Ye Feng was a little unsure, but finally said it out, just take it as a reference answer!"

"In my opinion, James is too obsessed with winning the game, there is a kind of paranoia in it.

It's like the character of Scorpio, or the character of some constellation, anyway, it's too pursuit of perfection.

Therefore, when dealing with key balls, he will become a little restless.

He will think too much, or think too simple, and he will appear hesitant to handle the ball.

There are two kinds of performance, one is not daring to make a shot, and will choose to pass the basketball to the most reasonable player.

The second is to deal with it very hastily, and shoot directly when there is a chance, especially like to shoot three-pointers. "

"..."

Listening to Ye Feng's words, Wade rolled his eyes, his cheeks puffed up.

"Ye Feng, what are you talking about! I'm a little confused.

From what you said, it seems that it is not LeBron's shortcoming, but more like his advantage!
Handle the key ball, attract the defense, and distribute the ball to teammates. This kind of choice is very reasonable!

Back then, Jordan also chose to distribute the basketball to Kerr, who had a better chance of lore.

As for the second point you mentioned, the hasty shot and the daring to shoot a three-pointer are a sign of a big heart, which proves that he is very confident, so he chose that way of shooting. "

Ye Feng spread his hands, "So, I also don't know whether that paranoia about victory is LeBron's shortcoming or his good point?"

"Anyway to beat LeBron, you have to put him in that crunch time.

Take Kobe as an example, the Spurs dealt with Kobe completely to irritate him, let him fall into an infinite individual singles state, and destroy the entire Lakers team as a whole.

However, Kobe has become the nemesis of the Spurs!

Because Kobe often used this kind of infinite singles to beat a team by himself.

Then you said Kobe's paranoid singles, is it a disadvantage or an advantage? "

"..."

"So, LeBron and Kobe are the same kind of guy.

Since we don't know whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage, let's not discuss it first, let's think about how to let him enter the state at that critical moment! After all, Wade has played basketball for more than ten years, and he also knows how unreasonable a group of superstars are on the basketball court.

The same is true for Wade himself, and he has also experienced that state. Although it is unreasonable, it is acceptable.

"The situation of fighting the game to the last goal to decide life and death is almost impossible for a game, and the operability is not great, so this can be ruled out first.

However, there are four quarters in a game, and the condition of "critical time" does not have to appear in the last ten seconds of the fourth quarter.

The time for an attack is only 24 seconds. During this time, there is also a "critical time".

For example, when the final countdown is 5 seconds and the attack time is about to end, relatively speaking, it seems a bit critical.

In other words, if LeBron's offensive time is exhausted, he should appear in that swing state.

Of course, the effect is definitely much worse than the lore ball, the critical time when you score a victory and fail if you fail. "

Wade frowned more and more, feeling that something was missing?
In other words, his understanding of what Ye Feng said was somewhat biased, and he failed to grasp the key things.

In dealing with James, besides the critical time, what other things are ignored?
At this time, I have been silent all the time, feeling that the topic that Ye Feng and Wade talked about, Haslem, who has a big structure, put forward his own opinion, "According to Ye Feng, does it not only refer to the problem of LeBron James handling the key ball?" ?

And what about the way LeBron James handles it?

For example, he shoots three-pointers, not drives.

LeBron James is extremely talented and sought after by the league. He was cultivated as the face of the NBA. How could there be no star whistle?

If he hits a key ball and he chooses to break through, wouldn't he be sure? Even if he doesn't score under the interference of the defense, maybe the whistle will sound? "

"You mean LeBron James' three-pointer?" Wade's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he looked at Ye Feng, but said in his mouth. "In the media and statistics, there is no mention of three-point shooting, which is LeBron James' shortcoming!"

Ye Feng smiled, "I didn't say this, you analyzed it yourself.

However, LeBron James' three-pointers were not his weakness in high school, which I can be sure of. "

Wade also smiled, his cheeks trembling, "But you didn't say that LeBron's three-pointer will not become a weakness when it comes to the NBA arena!
After all, there is still a difference between the three-point line distance on the high school field and the three-point line distance on the NBA court. "

Ye Feng spread his hands and rolled his eyes, "According to your analysis, will LeBron strengthen his strongest body because he doesn't want to lose, and finally lose his touch!
And the farther three-point line in the NBA game has exacerbated this change in results. Therefore, LeBron, who had no weakness in the three-pointer, suddenly lost the timing of the three-pointer? "

"..."

It's really possible.

But, why do you seem to be talking about yourself?
Wade was speechless.

"There is also LeBron's low-post singles, which has not been practiced. Is this his weakness?"

"..."

"This is the weakness of the school! Ye, you have to know that the entire 03 generation is called by the outside world to be worth looking forward to. We, who have the reputation of the platinum generation, are players who have reached the passing level in post-up and low-post singles. It's only one and a half!!"

"One and a half?"

"That's right, one refers to Carmelo Anthony, and half refers to the rest of the 03 Platinum Generation!
Including myself too!

That's why it is said that this generation is a battle between the peerless pair of prides!

You were lucky, Yeh, to play with those two monsters in high school and college. "

"Monster?" Ye Feng looked at Wade, nodded, and said with a smile, "Indeed, I feel that I will always be so lucky!

So, Dwyane, you shouldn't just tell Udonis to work harder, you should work harder too! "

"Me? I've been working hard!" Wade pointed at himself in a daze.

"That's not enough!" Ye Feng said with a smile, "In order to keep me lucky in the NBA league, to keep the luck of playing with monsters.

Dwyane, what do you think?Shouldn't you try harder? "

Wade smiled, sincerely, his big cheeks twitched, "Yes, I should work hard, the kind that is honored!"

Monster?
I like it best!
