Character determines destiny.

Dog Te said it well, but Yu Fei didn't agree.

When it comes to basketball, it's talent that determines destiny.

It is true that in the past, present and future of the NBA, there will be people like Bird, Nowitzki and Curry to comfort ordinary fans and make people feel that talent is not absolute, but you must know that the height of Bird and Nowitzki is also talent, and Curry's touch and ball nature are also talents, if these three people are only 170 cm tall, will they still be the people fans are familiar with?

The answer is self-explanatory.

Yu Fei wasn't interested in what Goute had to say, but a lot of media was pestering him, asking him what he thought about possibly teaming up with Jordan in the new season, as well as his thoughts on Jordan's second comeback.

The idea of being teammates with Jordan? The lips are expectant, excited, excited, and in the heart are apprehensive, resistant, and even disgusted.

There can't really be a young man who likes old men, right? Besides, this old man is not very good-tempered.

As for the opinion on Jordan's second comeback, Yu Fei adopted vague tactics on the surface: "I don't have any opinion, this is MJ's freedom, we just need to wait for him to make a decision." ”

Yu Fei's opinion in his heart is simple, it's like UZI choosing to make a comeback at EDG in 2023.

No one knows if YYDS was touched by the ending of Deft's unrepeatable S12, and in any case, his decision is debatable. It's a departure from his brief comeback at BLG in the spring of 2022 that was comparable to Bob Cousy's comeback with the Royals, and this time he played the game with a big blast, only to make a complete save in the playoffs. If he gets discouraged and never comes back, then this is the last impression he left in the hearts of the audience.

And this impression should have been his 90% invincible year 2018 and 2019 when he had the intention to kill the enemy and was powerless, there was no supreme honor, but it was still worth remembering, and now...

Jordan's comeback is far more outrageous than UZI's.

Yu Fei's opinion is right, and most Jordan fans think so.

Dog Te shouldn't come back, is it necessary? He's been suppressing a generation, he's getting old himself, does he want to prove that he can still subdue a generation three years after he's been away from the ring?

The curtain call in 1998 was a rare and perfect ending in sports history, and Jordan met Magic Johnson in 1996 and should know what happens to a proud but underpowered former superstar when he returns.

Yu Fei gradually felt how torturous the days of walking with God would be.

50% of the media interviews on the day of the draft were related to Jordan.

Yu Fei didn't know why this group of people could derive so many questions from the name Jordan, and he didn't know how he answered so many questions about Jordan.

By the back, he was numb.

Jordan? Who is Jordan? It's just a boring name, and these Kenzuka reporters might be fired if they don't ask a question about Jordan.

Don't blame Yu Fei, this is the aggressiveness of the egg queen.

Even more painful than the interview was the three-day "Alliance Safety Education Class".

The main purpose of these courses is to let the rookies know a few points.

First, to manage your money properly, it's best to hire someone to help you, and if you need it, the league will recommend it.

Second, take care of your little brother and be careful of the flesh and bones that stick upside down.

"Remember, you can have fun countless times, but you only need to go crazy once, get the other person pregnant, and you're done! She and the child will become ghosts for the rest of their lives, like vampires that never go away! ”

Finally, follow the rules and don't touch the contraband...

It was the most boring three days Yu Fei had spent since he crossed over.

Everyone will say the truth, but implementation is a personal matter.

Yu Fei believes that this so-called safety education class will continue to be held, but there will definitely be no shortage of players who will go bankrupt after retiring, can't control their little brother and created a bunch of illegitimate children, and love contraband.

Yu Fei is confident in his self-control, he will not touch these things that are not there, so these three days are a pure waste of time.

Three days later, Yu Fei and the other rookies were finally freed.

Although he doesn't have to listen to the league staff anymore, Yu Fei still has to go to D.C with Kwame Brown to sign a rookie contract.

Since the league introduced a standard rookie contract in the mid-'90s, how much money you get depends on the pick, so there is no need to talk about it at all.

As long as the agent is present, the team takes out the contract, the player signs, and then happily takes a picture and sends the news to the media, the process is complete.

Yu Fei signed a four-year, $6.5 million contract.

Counting the additional costs, Arne Trem has a 10% commission, a total of $640,000, and then various taxes are deducted, and Yu Fei's final income will not exceed $2 million.

Even if it's $2 million, that's a lot of money, and if it's managed well, it can last a lifetime.

And that's just the first money he's earned as a player, along with an endorsement contract with Reebok that is about to take effect.

Suffice it to say, he doesn't have to worry about money anymore.

After signing with the Wizards, Yu Fei handed over the $200,000 signing bonus he received from signing with Reebok to his mother, asking her to find a house as a new home in the wealthy community of D.C., and he started his busy business activities on the day the signing was completed.

Until the start of the summer league, Yu Fei only had 3 hours of practice time every day, because this was his first summer as an endorsement for Reebok, and there were many things to get familiar with, including shooting commercials and participating in events.

Just when Fei was looking forward to the summer league, an unexpected injury came to his door.

At the time, Yu Fei was filming an advertisement for his first signature sneaker for Reebok.

The director hoped that Yu Fei would make a few beautiful dunks.

Yu Fei did as he wished, and did several difficult moves.

The dunk was all done, but when the last dunk landed, he sprained his knee, which shocked the staff at the scene into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, there was no major problem after the examination, only a slight sprain, but it was enough for Yu Fei to miss the summer league.

Ironically, Yu Fei was so busy before he was injured that he couldn't wait to be used for two.

By the time he recovered from injury, Reebok's activities were almost complete, and the Wizards' summer league was over.

Yu Fei has time, but there are no commercial activities or competitions at the moment.

At this time, it was late July, and Yu Fei, who had been idle, decided to completely close himself off and use the next month or so to conduct arduous special training.

His goal is to gain 10 pounds (9 pounds) before preseason training camp begins.

For this reason, Yu Fei went to the nutritionist of the Wizards team and asked him to design a reasonable weight gain plan for himself.

This is the responsibility of a nutritionist, Yu Fei soon got a scientific weight gain plan, and then began special training non-stop.
