Chapter 18 [Alternative Friends]
"I've gone downstairs, my friends may look for me later." Ye Feng said with a smile.
Ellie stopped him. "I saw you and Nina come together. Are you her boyfriend?"
"No, it's just alumni, we just met."
Ellie patted the sofa and said lightly: "She has many friends and doesn't care about you. Why not come and sit down and chat with me for a while? I want to find someone to talk to."
Ye Feng was embarrassed to refuse, sat down and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Ellier whispered: "I pushed people downstairs. Are you not curious about why? Fortunately, you are there, otherwise she would have fallen down, which scared me. No wonder you can block Bathil at this speed of reaction."
It seems that she was not maliciously hurting people. Ye Feng didn't want to push him downstairs and asked with a smile: "Are you watching the game too?"
Alile laughed. "I will watch the home games between the Lakers and the Clippers. I have been watching the game on site since I was a child. Maybe my father will let me take over the Clippers in the future. This year, I chose the style Al Sorton. This year, I proposed that you will admire my vision after the start of the new season."
Unexpectedly, Alice also worked for the team. Ye Feng smiled and said, "Sauton is indeed a good player. I have played against him in the preseason. I envied him for shooting."
Ellie greeted a waiter and asked, "What drink do you drink? Is cocktail OK?"
"Okay." Ye Feng was very drunk and it was fine no matter how much he drank. After Ellie said a few words, the waiter went to prepare.
Alile smiled and said, "Now please stop talking about the topic. You haven't answered the questions I asked yet. Are you not curious about why I pushed people downstairs?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Is this yours right? I'm not curious at all."
"But I'm curious why you want to help me."
Ye Feng sighed. "Am I helping you? I'm helping that lady avoids breaking and concussion."
Although Alile has short hair and is wearing men's clothing, she still smiles beautifully, giving people a sense of extraordinary confidence. Ye Feng secretly sighs that she doesn't look like Donald Sterling, and that man loves to laugh. He always smiles in front of the camera, but no matter how he looks, he thinks he is a lewd smile.
Ailier leaned closer, stared at Ye Feng's eyes, and said lightly: "You look at me strangely. I don't like others' random thoughts, so you'd better say what you think. If you think wrong, I can correct it for you."
This woman has a bad mind. Does she want to hear someone say - Hi, I know you are a lesbian. This men's outfit is so natural to wear on you! Then she is happy?
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and said lightly: "My thoughts are very strange. You may be unhappy when you hear this."
"It's okay, I really want to hear what you think of me. Even if you are unhappy, it won't be so. I don't have the strength to push you downstairs." Alier smiled.
Ye Feng remembers that in his previous life, Ailier disclosed the reasons and sexual orientation of pushing people downstairs in front of the media. She didn't mind others knowing these things, so why would he be shy? "Since you insisted, I'll say it. I guess the one who was just a lady and your girlfriend, and you had a dispute, maybe it was because of your outfit. She didn't want others to know about your relationship and proposed to leave you, so you couldn't push her downstairs for a moment?"
Alile still smiled. "This is our first time meeting today. How could you guess right? Are you a person like Sherlock Holmes?"
"From your dress, you look like the second handsome man present today, the first is me... People like me think you are very manly, probably that's the case. By the way, I'm different from Holmes. He and Watson are good friends, and I'm normal."
After hearing this, Alil was not disgusted. He smiled and said, "You are so interesting, you guessed most of the time. I really want to announce our affairs to the public. I pretended to be a lady. Will you tell me this?"
Ye Feng replied happily: "No, this is your **. Even if you say it, it must be up to you. Don't worry, I am a person who can keep secrets. But you don't look like someone who cares about other people's opinions."
At this time, the waiter brought a cocktail, and each of them brought a glass and touched it lightly. Ellie said lightly: "I don't think you really don't treat me as a woman. Am I unattractive? There are many people chasing me."
Ye Feng took a sip of wine and smiled and said, "A good appearance, good figure, and better background. How could he be unattractive? But why do you like women with such good conditions?"
Alilee raised her head and drank it all, which scared Ye Feng. Most of the cocktails were very high, and she was obviously a person with a lot of alcohol. She put the empty wine glass aside and smiled: "If you read the news, you must know that my father is a fickle person. He dates a woman of my age and keeps a prostitute. But he has been strict with me since he was a child, and he is always afraid that I will be deceived by men. I have never made many friends of the opposite sex since I was a child. In high school, one time I went out to play with a partner. We were drunk and very drunk. When we found out, we had taken off our clothes and made out. After that, I started to like women. It was strange, right?"
I'm sorry, what a erotic story makes people think of it. Ye Feng swallowed and said lightly: "Please say it again."
"What?"
"This story is great. Don't look at me with this kind of eyes. I'm only 19 years old, so I'm still there." Ye Feng said shamelessly.
Alile laughed loudly and bent over. "I didn't expect you to be so interesting. I've heard of you for a long time and thought you were a cold bastard. Ye Feng, would you like to make friends with me? But I remind you that I'm not a good person. Not only can I push people downstairs, but I also like to use people."
"So bad? I'm willing to make friends with you... But I'm poor and have no advantages except being handsome. What can you take advantage of me? You have a wealthy family, and there must be many good things to be friends with you." Ye Feng recalled the news about Alier in his previous life. She was very low-key and did not have many gossip news. Apart from pushing people this time, she had never done anything bad to be abusive. There are more friends and more ways to get to know a few rich people. The only drawback is that the white and beautiful lady in front of her likes to pretend to be tall, rich and handsome, and is a weirdo.
After chatting for a while, Ye Feng also began to become interested in Alice. Alice knows the technical characteristics of basketball, Lakers, and Clippers players very well. She thinks Ye Feng has a promising future, and his disadvantages are his shooting ability and game experience. After playing for several seasons, he can at least sign the middle class. Speaking of Ye Feng's contract, Alice believes that he has lost a lot, and that restriction of free agents is likely to ruin his big event.
"The contract cannot be negotiated like this. Do you want me to introduce you to an economic person? Otherwise, you may be cheated of the negotiations next summer."
Alile is six years older than him, and she claims to be her sister Ye Feng, and she has no choice. He said in confusion: "I don't want to leave the Lakers at all. Why does the restricted free agent option ruin me? Is this an option to renew my contract with the Lakers, right?"
Alile drank another cocktail, still sober, and smiled and said, "You don't know about businessmen. Kupchek wants to keep you. If you don't play well this season, it will be difficult to get a big contract in the free market in the summer. He can choose to renew your contract with you at comparable prices. If you play well and show enough potential, there will definitely be a team that will like you during the season. If that team happens to have the players the Lakers want, you will be in trouble. Restricting free agents will make you have higher trading value and you may become a bargaining chip for trading."
Trading chips? Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat and remembered the mid-term transaction between the Lakers and the Grizzlies. Damn it! I won't really trade me for Gasol at that time, right? This is just a guess. Ye Feng still feels a little uncomfortable and sighed: "This kind of thing is not something I should consider. Improve yourself and work hard to become a star is the key."
"Ambition." Ailier had another drink with Ye Feng and asked, "What do you think of the Clippers this season?"
"Am I testing me?"
Alile smiled and said, "That's right, you must have some insights. I don't think you are a fool."
Ye Feng remembered the Clippers' record in the next few years and smiled and said, "If you say it straight, don't be upset. I think the Clippers will definitely be at the bottom of the West this season."
Alile frowned slightly. "It's true that it's straightforward, but even if Brand is injured, we still have Carman, Mageti, Mobley, and rookie Sauton, can't we make the playoffs?"
Ye Feng thought for a while and analyzed: "Without Brand, Carman's data may be improved to about 15 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks. He is a good center, but he lacks the ability to attract double teams at low positions, and does not have enough support at high positions, so it is difficult to become the core. Small forward Margeti has strong scoring ability, but he can only score. Scoring guards Mobley and Ross are old and in a difficult state, and Ross will not be able to attack. Power forward position, Thomas' level is limited, and Sauton is just a rookie, and they can't make up for Brand's vacancy at all. The most fatal thing is the point guard, without Sean Livingston, the Clippers can only use Cassel to start. He is already 40 years old, and it's time to go back to Mars. Substitute point guard Knight is also a veteran, and I run faster than both of them."
Alile smiled and said, "Haha, they are really slow, and I'm fed up with his speed. Man, after you analyze this, why do I think you don't look like a player or a manager?"
Ye Feng is the kind of person who gives a little sunshine and climbs up the pole. He smiled and said, "I have always believed that I have the brain to be a manager. The team lineup does not have to be full of big-name stars. The most important thing is to be reasonable, the bench depth must be strong enough, and there must be players suitable for the tactical system. The Clippers are very unreasonable now. Your point guards will be beaten by the entire league. I can't see the weaknesses of other teams. "
Alil asked, "What do you think the Clippers will do?"
Ye Feng is a future person. He knows which players can play in the future. If he is allowed to build a team, he will definitely be able to gather a strong team, but will he tell Alice, this new friend?
