Chapter 56: Anti-Mike
Steve Witch is in the gym at Wilmington looking for the right interviewee.
Most of the media focused on Jordan, and as "Jordan's man," Whitekey wanted to dig up other information about the Wizards, which was his responsibility as a team reporter for The Washington Post.
It's media day, the Wizards don't need to practice, and most of the players are thinking about how to put on a show in front of the media.
Only Fei pulled his trainer to practice shooting in the corner of the court.
Miraculously, there were no reporters to interview the Wizards' most newsed player of the offseason.
The first person to report on Yu Fei in the offseason was none other than White, and they knew each other.
Therefore, Waiqi walked towards Yu Fei and asked playfully, "Do you want to train today?" ”
Normally, those who insist on training on media days are fools.
For the media, it's just putting on a show, trying to let the public know how hard you've worked, but sorry, no one is going to say a word about it in the next day's report.
Show is also a technical job, like Jordan to make a comeback under the banner of "love", and then talk about love is the serious show that the media appreciates.
"I've been practicing like this for the past two months." Yu Fei said helplessly, "I'm used to it." ”
Witch asked, "So, do you have time to do an interview with me?" ”
Yu Fei asked strangely, "Are you sure?" ”
"What's the problem?"
Is there still a media person in Washington who doesn't revolve around Jordan? Could it be that the team's reporters can't get along with the traffic?
"No, I just think you should have wanted to interview MJ more."
The reporter with the team chose between Jordan and himself, and Yu Fei didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
However, White's next words surprised Yu Fei: "I'm Michael's man." ”
The implication is that if he wants to interview Jordan, he can do it anytime.
Why was Yu Fei surprised? Because he is in Washington, the political center of the United States, White, as a reporter with the team, is the so-called fourth power, in order to prove his objectivity and rationality, he will never label himself as "I am a XX person".
If you accuse a politically charged journalist of who is who, then it is an insult to the other person.
And in the world of sports, Whitech can easily admit that he is Jordan's man in front of others.
This is the unique monotheistic pattern of American sports formed after the rise of Jordan since the 90s.
Plausible. Very reasonable.
Yu Fei nodded, "Okay, what do you want to ask?" ”
White's questions are very formulaic, how he feels, how he feels about the Wizards, his goals for the new season, whether there is pressure to be teammates with Jordan, and so on, and he doesn't miss any of the questions that other reporters will ask.
"That's all you want to ask?"
At the end of the interview, Yu Fei was still a little puzzled.
Whitch said calmly, "Yes, that's enough. ”
"Why? You can ask questions that are more difficult to answer. Yu Fei said.
Whitech laughed, "I'm Michael's man, and I'm tasked with getting what you said to me today on the second page of tomorrow's paper." ”
"Why?" Yu Fei repeated this sentence.
"Because you're Michael's guy too."
God is pitiful, how did I become Jordan's man because I am innocent?
But, when you think about it, isn't he Jordan's man?
Jordan gave him a small prize that he drew last season, Contney Alexander, who averaged 16 points per game with the Wizards, and the next two first-rounders, if Alexander continues to improve, or the first of these two first-rounders, the first-round pick without any protection sends warmth to others, and the doubts about Jordan will increase exponentially.
So it is true that Waiqi said that Yu Fei is Jordan's person, and the big dog paid a big price to get him.
Jordan's most profound remark to reporters on this day was: "The team is full of young people, and I can see that when I take off this outfit again, they will realize their potential." Soon I will be gone, soon. At this point, Jordan paused, realizing that his return would only be a flash of light for a moment — a year at most, maybe two years — and then disappear like a flash.
When taking a group photo of the whole team before the season, Jordan deliberately let Yu Fei and Brown stand behind him.
However, Yu Fei and Jordan are not that close.
On the first day of training camp, Yu Fei didn't even take the initiative to say a word to Jordan.
He's not cold, and he's not missing Jordan's attention. If Jordan is still a team executive, it would be a blessing for him to pay such a big price to select him.
Yu Fei would be more than happy to truly be "Michael's man", but at the same time be Jordan's teammate and "Michael's man" at the same time?
Are you sure?
This is a black dot that can be used as one's biggest helper to set off his glorious image and stimulate the other party to write an autobiography to spray his teammates. If you want to be his good teammate and be his person, you must give up everything you can and obey him like a ragdoll.
Yu Fei's approach is to stay away and draw a 38 line between himself and Jordan.
He won't cross Jordan's bottom line, but if Jordan crosses his own line, who cares if you're Michael Jordan or Jordan Carver? Let's do it first.
The day after the media day, Yu Fei was the first to come to the Wilmington campus.
No one was earlier than him.
Because no one starts training at half past eight in the morning.
During the training camp, Yu Fei fully started his ball rehabilitation training with terrifying intensity.
In the summer, in order to gain weight, he separated the training with the ball from the strength training, but the aggravation of the strength training will inevitably affect the shooting feel.
Therefore, although Yu Fei gained weight as he wished, the basket that had finally made some signs of practice in the past year disappeared like Yua Mikami's acting skills.
Therefore, Yu Fei will conduct three hours of irregular shooting training every morning.
This is a bitter pain for Anthony Lawson.
"Fulai, I don't think Rip's shooting training is as diligent as you." Lawson sighed.
"You're talking nonsense, if I had Rip's shooting ability, I'd be lying on my stomach, but we don't have it."
"Actually, you don't have to work so hard, anyway, you're MJ's person, just like Kwame, even if the shooting is inconsistent, it won't matter."
Kwame... Yu Feile is happy.
Lately Brown has been calling out to himself about how good Jordan is to him and how close he and Jordan are.
Brown wondered why Yu Fei didn't take the initiative to approach Jordan.
Yu Fei said: "I don't like to fool around with old men. ”
"Mike is not an old man."
He called Jordan "Mike", and Yu Fei could only obey him.
Yu Fei's shooting practice lasted from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
When Yu Fei ended the morning training with a dry three-pointer, the shirtless Lawson collapsed under the basket.
"Hahu~Hahu~Hahu~"
"Look at your dead face, aren't you just picking up a few balls to make you tired like this?" Yu Fei looked at Lawson with disgust.
Lawson was almost out of breath and couldn't respond to Yu Fei, but if someone dared to question his physical fitness, he didn't mind letting the other party switch roles with him.
It's a pain to be a sparring partner for someone who shoots less than 70 percent from the field in practice.
Especially when you finally pick up a long rebound, choose to pass the ball on the spot in order to be lazy, and then the opponent doesn't wait for you to return to the position and misses the shot, and the ball bounces to the distance in the other direction.
Think about that...
Yu Fei and Lawson decided to take a shower first and then find a place to have lunch.
They met Richard Hamilton, who had come in advance to settle their daily needs in the locker room.
Before the crossing, Yu Fei didn't know Hamilton.
Because the name of the king of the times is meaningless in the era of small ball, and Hamilton himself is a relatively transparent star, he is very little famous among the new generation of fans.
Even now, Yu Fei only knows that his mid-range shooting is good, but the shooting rate is only 44%.
In modern times, this is a normal level for a star player, and it is certainly not efficient.
Yu Fei was going to say hello and go to take a bath, but he didn't expect Hamilton to stare at him like a curious baby, "You are the rookie of 'anti-Mike'?" ”
"Anti... Anti-Mike? ”
Hamilton laughed happily: "Kwame said that you don't like old men, and you really have never been close to Michael, and everyone thinks you are 'anti-Mike'." ”
It doesn't matter what everyone thinks, what matters is what Jordan thinks.
"The one who spread this rumor is an Antichrist who deserves to be sent to the cross and hanged." Yu Fei said proudly, "I've always been a fan of Michael, and my home has collected a lot of video footage of his games, how can I be an anti-Mike?" It's the one who spread this rumor and stirred up the relationship between me and Mike is the real anti-Mike! ”
Hamilton was amazed and asked, like a single-celled organism, "Oh, is that so?" You're a Seattleite guy and a Michael fan? ”
"One, I'm not from Seattle, and two, I'm really a Michael fan, and if there's only one Jomi in America, it's just me."
Yu Fei said that he was almost convinced, and Hamilton was convinced of his words, and the two reached a consensus on the spot.
The people who spread the "anti-Mike" rumors are the real anti-Mike.
