Chapter Seventy-Six: A Mentor and a Friend (Chapter 9)
The new season has only played four games, and Yu Fei has already made headlines several times because of his post-game remarks.
Last time, I was impatient with too many problems related to Jordan, but this time it was "I didn't lose if the team lost".
The reaction of the local media was relatively peaceful, as everyone who watched last night's game had an opinion about Doug Collins.
On the contrary, the media in other places have prejudices about flying.
Especially the columnists at ESPN who have nothing to do and look for hot topics all day long.
David Aldridge, one of Jordan's licking dogs, attacked Yu Fei's remarks: "Frye Yu's ego deserves attention, and we don't see humility in this young man." In his eyes, it always seems that the world is wrong, not himself, so he doesn't accept losing because he seems to be the only dignified person on that all-criminal Wizards team last night. But I think he needs to understand one thing, accept failure, take responsibility, is a sign of a rookie coming of age. ”
This incident also alarmed Yu Fei's agent Arne Trem.
Trem thinks Yu Fei's response is childish and doesn't help in any way.
"Embarrassing the coaching staff and Michael won't make things any better, you should know that." Trem said.
Yu Fei asked rhetorically, "Did you watch last night's game?" ”
"Nope."
Trem was a little out of confidence.
"None? Then you go to watch the game first. ”
Yu Fei hung up the phone.
He didn't think he was wrong, as Collins put Jordan's interests ahead of the outcome of the game.
What is the nature of this?
From a competitive point of view, this is a coach in the professional basketball world who completely disregards the spirit of competition and completely sacrifices his soul.
From the perspective of the team, for their own selfish interests, the team missed the good momentum and directly buried the game.
On a personal level, Collins will not gain anything from this behavior except to win Jordan's favor, and maybe even Jordan does not want him to do it.
Assuming the worst-case scenario, in which Jordan agrees with Collins, it is all the more necessary for Yu Fei to rely on external forces to exert pressure.
Because he can't put pressure from within.
What pressure does he put on internally? There is a line in "Shaolin Football": The referee, the ball card, the circumstantial evidence, plus all the units that host and co-organize, are all my people. How do you fight me?
It's the same with the Wizards, everyone is for Jordan, and even if Collins gives up sportsmanship, it's for Jordan. As long as it's for Jordan, he's innocent.
Therefore, Yu Fei can only speak outward, and only in this way can Collins be jealous.
The next day, Yu Fei woke up early.
Since then, Yu Fei has developed a self-disciplined routine, and after the draft, he trains like an ascetic every day.
Even during the season, he insisted on using the hotel gym to shoot iron on the road, and at home he practiced shooting at night.
This level of hard work is that even Tyrone Nesby, who has the most hard-working training on the Wizards, is willing to bow down.
Nesby will inevitably go to a nightclub after playing away from home.
Yu Fei is not an ascetic, he also went to a nightclub with his teammates, but only once.
He originally wanted to find someone in a nightclub to reward himself for working hard in the NBA, but he found himself in the wrong place.
The 2001 U.S. was very short of the Angela White-style Yanmar that Yu Fei liked, and the common ones were malnourished skinny people and appetizing silicone big European pies.
Pork ribs fine hanging stone European pie? What's that style? Just look at the deep snow of Arisaka after the comeback.
In a word, it's not ornamental.
Let's not talk about the aesthetics of thinness as beauty, the aesthetics of people are constantly reversed back and forth with the changes of the times, but the silicone piece has to mention a person, the 90s version of Kim Kardashian - Pamela Anderson (Pamela Anderson). Many people may not know this name alone, but if you say that she starred in the night drama "Coastal Lifeguard", many people know, that is, the TV series that made Chandler and Joey in "Friends" stay in front of the TV on time.
The Coast Lifeguard resume is just a light touch on her status as a synonym for sex appeal in the '90s, whether it's her record-breaking Playboy cover count or her love-hate relationship with boyfriend Tommy Lee, making her a goddess in the hearts of countless people.
Pamela's fame has made her hairstyle, outfits, and even her deeds of "transforming her body" imitated by ladies, especially the matter of putting silicone on O'Pai, which is still the mainstream until now.
rushed to Yu Fei to go to a nightclub once, but all he saw was technology and ruthless experience, and he could see how deeply Pamela poisoned American women.
Since he couldn't find a suitable object, Yu Fei shamefully kept his virginity after crossing over.
Yu Fei doesn't know when his "I've fought all my life, what's wrong with enjoying it" moment will come, at least for now, his training has kept him in good shape, which is the key reason why he hasn't played a game in the new season.
In such a complex environment as the Wizards, he had to persevere.
Originally, it was nothing to make a break in the gym of the hotel in the morning, but there was someone here who Yu Fei didn't want to see.
Joe Bye Oh No, the head coach of the Wizards, has lost all respect and trust in Yu Fei, Doug Collins.
"Good morning, Coach, nice to meet you."
I must have hunted him and Jordan's mom too many times in my heart, that's why God rewarded me for meeting him here.
Yu Feipi greeted Collins with a smile.
Collins looked at Yu Fei with complicated eyes.
In terms of ability, Yu Fei, who has only played four regular season games, has been regarded by Collins as the third force in the team, but this important force cannot be included in the starting list because he has the bone of "anti-Mike".
As a coach, Collins has no reason not to dislike Yu Fei.
Full of fighting spirit, tough style, good at finding opportunities in headwind situations, and very good at driving the morale of his teammates, training hard off the field, he has not seen anyone as diligent in training as Yu Fei for a long time.
This is a rookie who can barely fault it.
How nice would it be if he didn't oppose Jordan?
"You told the media yesterday that you didn't lose?" Collins asked softly, "Really?" ”
Yu Fei smiled faintly: "It seems to be." ”
"Why do you think so?"
"Why?"
Don't you know? Do you dare to swear in the name of God that you don't know?
"Because the Pistons used a seven-man rotation last night, they played most of the first quarter and continued to play in the second quarter while we were chasing points. Just as we were about to catch up, I was substituted. Yu Fei didn't plan to bend with Collins, and said directly, "I remember when I left the court, we were only 3 points behind, and when I returned to the court, we were already 18 points behind." Even so, my plus/minus is still +9, and whoever asks me will answer like that, I didn't lose. ”
Collins struggled to keep himself calm, he didn't know why he was trying to control his anger in front of a rude and undisciplined rookie, "You can say these things to me in private, I accept criticism, but. You can't say that to the media. ”
"Why can't I?" Yu Fei's rhetorical question directly ignited the firecrackers in front of him.
"Because you're a NBA player!" Collins yelled, "You can't just say whatever you want!" ”
Yu Fei still had that flat expression, and asked in a serious but even more angry tone: "When did the United States stop supporting freedom of speech?" ”
"These are two different things!"
"Okay!" Yu Fei nodded, and then said coldly, "I can keep my mouth shut, provided that you first prove that you are a qualified coach." ”
Today, Doug Collins confirmed one thing.
The rumors that Frye was unteachable are by no means unfounded.
Every cell in this man's body is rebellious, he only believes in his own set of truths, and completely ignores the overall situation.
Will Michael really be able to subdue him?
Collins was pessimistic.
Because so far, Jordan's performance is no better than Yu Fei. When the two of them behaved similarly, how could it be possible for Yu Fei, who was already hostile to him, to return to his heart?
Collins is gone.
Yu Fei thought that Collins had given up communicating with him, and as a result, it didn't take long for Johnny Bach to bring Yu Fei a Bible.
"This is what Doug asked me to bring to you." Bach said, "He wants you to look at this more when you're fine." ”
"Yes, thank him for me." Yu Fei put on a smirk that Bach saw through at a glance, "He and Michael are really my mentors and friends." ”
