Chapter Fifty-Nine: It's Time to Settle Old Scores

Although Yu Fei had expected Kwame Brown to have today, when it really happened, it was still amazing.

Yu Fei remembers that when Jordan taught Scott Burrell SF a lesson in "The Last Dance" in his previous life, the camera switched to B.J. Armstrong. Armstrong PG). Armstrong said with a solemn expression: "What you see is only 1/100th of what we have experienced. ”

By Armstrong's standards, how much did Brown just go through what they went through? 50%? Or 100%?

Jordan called this a crash course for champions, and in the penultimate episode of "The Last Dance," he defended himself with tears in his eyes: "My teammates who came in later than me didn't experience what I went through, and I Michael Jordan never asked them to do what I couldn't...

Yu Fei No matter how much Jordan has achieved, in his opinion, this is bullying, why do you think your teammates need to go through what you experienced?

Regarding this matter, the biggest shaker of Jordan's dog's status, Pi Lao Er, also directly sprayed in his autobiography, he believes that the old guys of the Bulls can tolerate Jordan not because they persevered in the championship crash course, but because they all have a sense of honor and want to fight for the championship.

Therefore, the fact that Jordan bullied his teammates cannot be justified because of his success.

This is also in the 90s, in the era of social media in the 21st century, when even "James did not attend Kobe's memorial service" can be used to hold a meeting and bombard, there is no room for tyrants.

Yu Fei walked up to Brown and asked, "Have dinner together in the evening?" ”

Brown is no longer a big brother, and he can't cover Yu Fei anymore.

Pessimistic estimates show that he will not be able to protect himself from today.

As a result, he completely lost his desires and "had no appetite." ”

"That's a good excuse."

"Excuses?"

"If you're beaten up again tomorrow, you can say you didn't eat dinner yesterday because you didn't have an appetite."

Brown rolled his eyes: "Okay, where to eat?" ”

"There is a good Chinese restaurant nearby..."

Brown doesn't have any opinions anymore, what Yu Fei says is what it is, Chinese restaurant? Whatever.

When Brown saw a pile of fried food on the table, he couldn't help but hesitate: "Michael said... Eating this food is not good for me. ”

"And Michael? Didn't he tell you to call him Mr. Jordan? Yu Fei teased.

Although Yu Fei was joking, this sentence did sting Brown.

Thinking back to what had just happened and how Jordan had taken care of him after the draft, he couldn't connect the two images and tell himself that it was the same person.

But that's the way it is, and there is no going back on his relationship with Jordan.

Thinking about it now, Brown realized how right Yu Fei's decision not to approach Jordan was from the beginning.

"Did you know he was this kind of person from the beginning?" Brown asked.

"Even though I grew up in Kent, I'm half Seattle, you know, Seattleites don't like MJ, so like other Seattlemen, I've read Sam Smith's 'The Jordan Rules) (1), and while many deny the authenticity of that book, it now seems to be an accurate description of MJ's person."

In fact, Yu Fei hasn't seen it, but Jordan's personality can be understood through "The Last Dance" and Pi Laoer's autobiography.

Brown, who descended violently from the virtual world to the real world, became pragmatic: "I'll read that book." ”

"You really have to see it." Yu Fei quipped.

After that, Yu Fei and Brown didn't talk about Jordan anymore, they ate junk food, talked about their families and childhoods, and tried to find resonance.

But apart from the fact that Brown has no father like Yu Fei, there are few similarities.

Although Yu Fei grew up in a single-parent family, his mother Yu Fenglin's comprehensive quality is above the average level among women, and although she encountered difficulties in the first few years, she quickly settled down.

Brown's childhood was much more difficult, and Yu Fei listened to it a lot, because he had heard similar ones from Iguodala and James.

Although there is no similarity between the two children's childhoods, this deep conversation has made their relationship even closer.

From now on, as first-year rookies, they are bound to face difficulties from veterans, especially after Brown fell out of favor, Yu Fei, a rookie who completely disrespects veterans, will definitely be the target of a human scum like Leitner.

Yu Fei has already made a decision.

He will use his strength to win status, and if the veteran wants to overpower people according to his qualifications, it depends on whether he is qualified or not.

Moreover, whether it is to play tricks on people, or to rely on the old and sell the old, everything has a degree. crossed the line, don't talk about Leitner, it's Jordan, Yu Fei will also turn his face, don't talk to him about the rules of the rivers and lakes, the unspoken rules of the workplace, haven't you seen the queen of "rectifying the workplace"?

Doug Collins lives in uncertainty every day.

Although he has just returned to coaching from commentary, he has no doubts about his professional ability. Collins is known for his professionalism in professional basketball, and when he is commenting, he often accurately predicts the countermeasures of the underdog during the timeout.

However, talking on paper is not the same thing as going into battle in person.

Collins' biggest problem at the moment is not his professional ability, but that he is not a coach who has the credibility to overwhelm the public.

Jordan's tenosynovitis is a ticking time bomb, no one knows when his injury will get worse, Grover is struggling with his mouth, the media is tiresome in cross-examination, and Jordan is bent on going his own way, and the only thing that can save him seems to be Collins as a coach.

As long as Collins has the fame, wisdom and unquestionable authority of a normal coach.

The problem is that Collins is only a nominal coach, just like Jordan is a nominal player.

Jordan is not only a player for the Wizards, he is also the shadow coach of the Wizards, and he is also the shadow general manager and shadow president of the Wizards.

So, for Collins, Jordan's will is the holy will, and for the pleasure of the Sacred Heart, then he must admit that Jordan's knees are very healthy. Jordan doesn't want to sit down? Very good, then let's participate in training, in order to make Brother Qiao happy, it is not a big deal to risk a little tenosynovitis aggravation, if something really happens, Xiao Ke will take the blame for you.

That morning, Collins was walking around the arena in Wilmington.

Jordan came early today because he felt like he was recovering well and maybe he could do all of today's training.

But someone was earlier than Jordan.

Collins looked at Yu Fei, who was practicing shooting on the court.

There have been doubts within the Wizards about Jordan's decision to draft two high school students with two lottery picks, especially in the trade for two future first-round picks.

In the past few days since the start of the training camp, Yu Fei has left a good impression on Collins.

Yu Fei is in line with the kind of hard-working, hard-working, and serious taste that old-school players appreciate.

However, when he had a friction with Leitner over a trivial matter, Collins' evaluation of him also decreased, which showed that Yu Fei had a fiery personality.

Moreover, Yu Fei also has rumors of "anti-Mike".

Collins really didn't know what kind of attitude to show to Yu Fei.

But what to do with Kwame Brown? Yesterday's Jordan has already given the answer.

Johnny Bach, a veteran assistant coach, walked up to Collins with a difficult expression, "Kwame said his back is still uncomfortable..."

Collins waved his hand in annoyance, "Enough! I've heard enough of these lazy excuses! Tell the kid that he has to show up in the gym today in a tracksuit, we've been waiting for him for days, even Michael has to go to training, is his injury worse than Michael's? Excuse! It's all excuses! ”

Yu Fei turned a deaf ear to the movement on the side.

Although Collins is the head coach, Yu Fei does not value him.

This person also showed his face in "The Last Dance", and Yu Fei remembered his praise for Jordan.

If you're going to beat Michael, you'll have to cut off his limbs, but he'll still squirm and bite you.

That's Jordan in 2020, and his reputation is no longer at its peak, but Collins still licks Jordan in the documentary, it can be said that kneeling and licking Jordan is already his instinct, this person is Jordan's marionette, and he won't do anything that Jordan doesn't let him do.

Therefore, Yu Fei didn't have any idea about the movement made by Collins, and he didn't even look at it.

Anthony Lawson, who was the sparring partner, grinned and said, "The guy who claimed to be covering you is not having a good time right now." ”

"Don't talk about him, you pick up the ball."

"Can you cast a little accurately?"

"You think I don't want to?"

Yu Fei practiced until half past eleven in the morning as usual, then took a shower and ate, and then rested for a while, waiting until the afternoon training began.

When Yu Fei came to the locker room, he met Christian Leitner.

The two had nothing to say.

However, before leaving, Leitner said: "Since the champion has lost his position, then the words he vouched for you before will not count." ”

Yu Fei asked, "What do you want?" ”

"I'm a very calculating person," Leitner said grimly, "and we're on the pitch today, so let's settle the score." ”

Brown's lesson is still reminding Yu Fei.

What others can give, they can also take back.

Yu Fei clenched his fists and took Lightner as a target.

Jordan can take Brown Liwei, he can also take Lightner Liwei, he has already turned the page before, but he didn't expect this scum to be sent by himself.

"I'll see." Yu Fei said.

(1) "The Jordan Rules," another Black Jordan book. However, it can't be considered black, after all, the author just wrote what Jordan did into the book. However, we live in the era of "telling the truth is black", so although this book only exposes the real Jordan, it hacks Jordan.
