NBA: A collection of super busts

Besides Ye Feng and James shining throughout the game, Haslem's performance, while not as dazzling, was equally impressive.

Especially the coaching staff and scouts.

Although he only scored 6 points and grabbed 9 rebounds tonight, his tough defense, rebounding instincts, determination to protect his teammates, and his flashes of brilliance in the mid-range game impressed the Grizzlies' coaching staff.

West has even reached a preliminary agreement with Hubie Brown: based on his performance in this game, Haslem will at least get a training camp spot.

Meanwhile, Brown kept scribbling and drawing while watching the game.

After watching a single match, the old man wrote at least a dozen pages of notes.

When West glanced over discreetly, he barely caught glimpses of things like, "Ye's explosiveness should be utilized well; his defense is top-notch, he's good at manipulating mentality, and he's a scoundrel." and "James's explosiveness is also quite terrifying; he's like a 28-year-old veteran rather than an 18-year-old boy."

The old man was quite pleased with both children.

While the Grizzlies secured a resounding victory, games continued for other teams and in various divisions.

For example, Chris Kaman, also from California, scored 18 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in his first Summer League game, while Carmelo Anthony, who played in Boston, scored 24 points and grabbed 6 rebounds to give himself a perfect opening victory.

Dwyane Wade, playing in the Orlando Southeastern Conference, led his team to victory over the Chicago Bulls with 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists. The Bulls' Summer League leader was Chris Bosh, the seventh overall pick, who also put up a solid 17 points and 9 rebounds tonight.

In other words, apart from Milicic, all of the league's top rookies put up impressive performances and individual statistics.

Judging from at least the first game of the Summer League, the 03 generation of players deserves the title of "super year".

With the Summer League in full swing, all the rookies are showcasing their talents.

Ultimately, the Summer League is just a stage for teams to test new players and evaluate fringe players. Top rookies like Ye Feng and James are destined not to play here for long; their stage is elsewhere.

Therefore, after playing only 4 games in the Summer League, both players were sidelined, announcing that they would not play in the remaining games or move with the team to other regions to continue playing.

The subtext of this action is quite clear: the Grizzlies have already identified their targets and are quite satisfied. To avoid any surprises, there's no need for these two players to continue playing in such a low-level game.

In four games, Ye Feng averaged 20 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, showcasing his incredible talent. His 61% field goal percentage was also the highest among all rookies in his class. Coupled with his explosive dunks and aggressive playing style, his popularity across the United States has been growing rapidly.

James' performance also lived up to his status as the number one draft pick. Although he has the weakness of inconsistent mid-range and long-range shooting, his average of 18 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game is also amazing. His maturity and overall vision are definitely the best among the rookies in his class.

In the four games in which the two played together, the Grizzlies easily won four straight games. Although neither of them played in the last two games, the Grizzlies did not finish first in the final standings.

However, at the end of the Summer League, the official MVP award was still given to them.

Yes, them.

This is the first time the official MVP award has been given to two people at the same time.

Neither of them seemed to have any objections to this; at least in front of the media, they appeared extremely friendly, with smiles on their faces.

When asked by reporters who would receive the only trophy, the two men, like Kong Rong, pushed each other around in a chaotic exchange.

Finally, James said, "I'll give this one to Ye. I'll try my best to get a few more MVP trophies to collect."

Ye Feng immediately said, "I already have a MOP trophy, but LeBron doesn't have one yet. Let's give this one to him; I can wait."

The smell of gunpowder!

The reporters at the scene immediately sensed something was wrong!

I knew it! How could two teenagers with hormones raging like crazy really be so considerate? I knew you two had a conflict.

Come on, let's continue! Let's keep showing!

Unfortunately, just as the reporters were about to ask more questions, the Grizzlies' experienced public relations manager, whom West had poached from the Lakers, prematurely ended the press conference, forbade reporters from asking any more questions, and took the two away.

That's the reason he exists. He would never let the team get caught up in any rumors because of some worthless Summer League MVP award!

But no matter what, the public has already vaguely sensed that the relationship between James and Ye Feng is not as harmonious and intimate as it appears on the surface.

However, it's July now, which is the time of year when there are the fewest matches and the players have the least exposure.

After the Summer League ended, the two guys immediately disappeared from the public eye, and everyone's curiosity and attention about this slight oddity quickly faded into other topics.

Time flies by.

Ye Feng had a wonderful summer vacation. He was free from injuries and pressure to achieve results. Apart from filming some adult videos and doing basic training, he did almost nothing but rest.

He took a break until the end of September.

As is customary, the last Monday of September each year is Media Presentation Day for each team. On this day, rookies, veterans, stars, and newcomers from each team will officially meet with fans and the media, give interviews, showcase their new jerseys, and take official photos.

Then, the training camps for each team will officially begin.

This is why many people refer to the media day of each season as the day the new season officially begins.

On days like this, Ye Feng arrived at the Grizzlies' training facility early. He drove a Hummer H2 that matched his temperament perfectly. The roar of the huge engine and the astonishingly large body were just like Ye Feng's arrogant style of dealing with people.

After parking the car, Ye Feng didn't rush to get out; he had deliberately arrived a little early today.

As the wait proceeded at a leisurely pace, cars arrived at the parking lot one by one, and Grizzlies players got out of them. The unassuming Battier, Gasol who hadn't yet grown a beard and looked like a fair-skinned young man, and others arrived one after another.

But Ye Feng wasn't in a hurry. It wasn't until a brand-new red sports car roared up and stopped in a parking space that Ye Feng opened the car door and swaggered out with his bag.
