Chapter 12: Frye So Next

Yu Fei's dominance of Kentwood High School was like the wind blowing towards Kent City.

The stats of 45 points, 20 rebounds, 13 assists and 9 blocks are ridiculous, but Yu Fei believes that any top 40 high school student in the United States can play this kind of game and play a corresponding performance.

Moreover, Kentwood High School is their strongest competitor in the Kent School District.

The remaining two games, if he wanted to, could have played better.

Yu Fei was not immersed in the joy of abusing vegetables.

After playing at Kentwood High School, he felt he still had a lot of energy left on him, so he went back to school and practiced for two hours.

After nearly half a year of training, Yu Fei's physical fitness is no longer a problem.

He can now easily handle a full game.

When he returned to school to practice, Quint Demio told Yu Fei about something unusual: "Fulai, have you noticed the people with cameras on the sidelines today? ”

Yu Fei asked while dribbling and making a stop-and-go jumper, "It seems to be a college scout, right?" ”

The focus on college basketball is not unusual.

Although Yu Fei has not officially visited any university, there are always Puxin's universities that have some illusions and take the initiative to give him a full scholarship.

"If you can show those college coaches what you have to do today, I'm sure you'll get 50 offers tomorrow." Dimio said.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Yu Fei responded disappreciatively.

Demio was probably the first to see through Yu Fei's mind.

"That's right, for a talent like you, going to college is a waste of time, and getting into the NBA as soon as possible is the most realistic."

Demio's words made Yu Fei stop his movements.

He looked at Demio and asked with a smile, "Do you think so?" ”

Demio asked rhetorically, "Don't you think so?" ”

Yu Fei just smiled and didn't answer.

Demio had a bottom in his heart.

He was sure that Yu Fei was in the same mind as himself, which made him very excited.

Although Yu Fei had no idea of forming his own team, the T1 high school students at the top of the pyramid were surrounded by a large group of people who were giving them advice.

Demio wanted to be Yu Fei's helper, but he also knew that he had to prove that he could help Yu Fei.

Yu Fei didn't guess what Demio was thinking, after the start of school, because the team trained every day, and there were games, his training intensity decreased a little.

In his spare time, if he doesn't play, Yu Fei will read some books.

Unlike James, who began to color the book as he read it, he read some biographies of sports figures carefully.

This helped him understand the times.

The book he's currently reading is called "Born to Believe," an autobiography of former Raptors coach Butch Carter.

For many fans, Butch Carter is an absolute stranger, a mediocre player who left the first line after only three years with the Raptors as a coach.

Historically, there have been many people like him.

But it just so happened that the time when Carter was the most ruthless was the one that Yu Fei had just crossed.

He witnessed Carter's final madness in Toronto.

Carter's ability to be a demon is also quite explosive in the coaches Yu Fei has seen in his previous life and this life. He filed a $5 million defamation lawsuit against Marcus Kemp, who had played for him, when the team's momentum was improving. Then when the team suffers back-to-back defeats, they take the team's veterans and accuse them of a lack of leadership and reduce their playing time. When he found that the team had gradually lost control and no one under his command was willing to listen to his leadership, he felt that his authority was not enough, so he shamelessly applied to the team owner for higher authority - "Hey, BOSS, our general manager position is empty, right?" In this way, don't send me a general manager, the general manager coach will do it alone. ”

The final move furious Glen Grunwald, the Raptors' de facto general manager (vice president and vice president), crumbled the Raptors' season and Carter was quickly fired at the end of the season, and then less than half a month it was rumored that his personal autobiography was going to be on Amazon.

Carter is certainly an idiot, but that doesn't stop Yu from buying his autobiography.

Because Yu Fei felt that he would definitely play in the NBA in the future, and his luck could not be so good that he met wise coaches and management throughout his career.

He had to look at the negative teaching materials of these coaches and GMs to know what kind of brain circuitry triggered their stupidity.

Unfortunately, this is a boring autobiography in which Carter perfectly avoids his own real-life mistakes, talks at length about the hardships and difficulties of black athletes achieving the American dream, and openly betrays his college coach, Bob Knight, accusing Knight of openly calling Isaiah Thomas Nigo during training.

At this time, Knight was at an all-time low in his personal reputation, and after a video of Knight locking former player Neil Reed that came to light last spring sparked an investigation by the university, Indiana University President Myles Brand said the school would enact a new "zero-tolerance policy" and fire Knight immediately if he made another mistake.

Yu Fei didn't want to make the connection between the two events, because it looked like Carter's fall on Knight, and he was promoting his autobiography by playing the race card. But combined with Carter's personality in the Raptors and Thomas's categorical denial of Knight calling him a nigger, it can only prove that Carter is indeed as bastard as Yu Fei thought.

However, Yu Fei didn't expect it, and Carter didn't expect it, this little turmoil was just a warning that no one cared about before Knight fell into the abyss.

Yu Fei continued the journey of the preliminaries.

The next day, Kent Meridian High School played back-to-back against Kent Lake Bolton High School.

After the rise of K-M, the school, which won third place in the preliminary round of the Kent School District in a bloody battle with them last year, has become rotten meat on the board.

There was no doubt about the outcome of the game.

The only thing that has changed is on the sidelines.

Yu Fenglin came to the scene for the first time to watch Yu Fei's game.

And Royals assistant coach Quint Demio paid out of his own pocket to buy a camcorder to shoot Yu Fei's highlight moments.

Because the opponent was too weak, Yu Fei only played 20 minutes, but still scored 22 points, 11 rebounds and 6 blocks like chopping melons and vegetables.

The Royals snapped two straight wins to secure the first place in the Kent School District and qualify for the City Championship.

Demio's camera caught the attention of many.

90% of the footage he took was Yu Fei's clips, and he made 10% of the footage belonging to others into a videotape and played it in Selwan's office, to the delight of the Royals players, and Yu Fei's highlight footage, he decided to slowly accumulate it, and when he could cut out a 5-minute highlight reel in the future, he would send it to those influential institutions.

The whole process, whether it is the cost of the camera, or all the follow-up work, is done independently by Demieu out of his own pocket.

His execution, Yu Fei saw in his eyes.

Yu Fei knows that if he wants to skip the college stage and participate in the NBA draft directly, the helpers around him are indispensable, since Demio has this heart and is not bad, why not let him be a member of his team?

Yu Fei didn't take the initiative to say anything to Demio.

Demio continues to do things for him, and Yu Fei still asks him to help him train, but in normal times, he spends more time with Demio.

They would chat, talk about current events, and treat each other to dinner.

When Yu Fei took the initiative to invite Dimio to his home for dinner, Dimio knew that he had joined the gang.

Two days later, on the last day of the Kent School District preliminaries, Demio told Yu Fei before the game that there were many first-tier league coaches who came for him at the game.

"Put on a good show, it's time to perform!"

Before the game, Demio said with a camera on his shoulder.

So, Yu Fei asked Serwan for 28 minutes of playing time, and he had to take over more than half of the team's firing rights.

There are only 8 minutes in the official high school game, and playing 28 minutes means that Yu Fei has a maximum of 1 minute break in the first quarter.

Seeing the situation at the scene, Selwan knew in his heart the reason for Yu Fei's excitement.

He just shrugged: "Be careful, don't get hurt." ”

Yu Fei first opened the situation with a dry pull, then stole the opponent's pass, counterattacked the dunk, and then blocked the opponent to follow up the fast-break slam dunk.

He began to dominate the pitch and was everywhere from the front to the back.

The scariest thing is that he felt particularly good today, hitting all of his first 10 shots. It gave him a boost in confidence, and every three-pointer he made was farther away than the last shot.

He hit six three-pointers in a row and then went back to the standard three-point line to shoot a three-pointer, only to miss.

So what? Yu Fei felt that he would not score before he made a shot, so he rushed in after shooting, and the long rebound that popped up with the three-point iron almost instantly made Yu Fei catch it, he was like Victor Wembanyama's most shocking picture before the draft - shot three points, missed, grabbed the rebound himself, and then completed the dunk.

For scouts and coaches on the field, today's opponents have no reference value.

But most of them looked at Fei's performance at the Nike Regional Invitational a few months ago.

What they can be sure of is that Yu Fei didn't have such a rich skill set at that time.

Especially this one-handed shot, which is much better than it was at the time.

The low intensity of the game and the poor level of the opponent can explain some problems, but not the shot.

This shows that Yu Fei has been improving.

At the end of the first half, many college coaches wanted to chat with Yu Fei.

And Yu Fei just nodded at them, and then walked away.

Then, someone noticed something terrible: "Frye scored 34 points in the first half? ”

"Will he score 100 points?"

Yu Fei didn't score 100 points because the opponent was defeated, and the second half quickly went into garbage time.

Yu Fei, who wanted to play 28 minutes before the game, couldn't play anymore in front of a 50-point lead.

And just like that, he went off to rest.

With 48 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks in 24 minutes, everyone saw his improvement, especially Gary Smith, a columnist for Sports Illustrated.

Yu Fei's performance made his heart beat faster.

When Yu Fei left the court, his dominant aura still permeated the court, reminding him of Tiger Woods in 1996 and Mike Tyson in 1988.

Smith hasn't personally seen Michael Jordan in 1984 and other legends who dominate their fields, but he believes that the kings of kings have one thing in common: the ability to envelop the room.

"Is Frye next?"

Smith quickly jotted down the words in his notebook.
