Yu Fei directly said on the phone that he wanted to be traded, which surprised Arne Trem, he knew that Yu Fei was not dealing with Jordan, but he didn't expect the contradiction to have reached this level.

It was not early at that time, and Trem asked Yu Fei to calm down and talk about it tomorrow.

The next day, Trem flew in and asked Yu Fei to have lunch together.

After a night, Yu Fei's mood did calm down, but his thoughts did not change.

After 11 NBA games, Yu Fei is sure that he can make a name for himself in the NBA.

After all, he averaged 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game with the Wizards, who were not in a good position in every way.

You know, with only 18 minutes per game, he's already in the first team of Rookie of the Year discussions.

All of the teams that played against the Wizards expressed their frustration at how little time he played.

It is certain that if Yu Fei goes to their team, the playing time will definitely not be more than that.

Yu Fei didn't know what reason he had to stay

It's a toxic environment, and Jordan is now like the kind of saint corrupted by evil forces in all kinds of fantasy, and it has nothing to show for itself. It's just that such a person who is already unworthy of the position has the power of life and death of the team, the boss does not dare to point fingers at him, the management listens to his orders, the head coach is his servant, Yu Fei wants to play more time, not only to show surrender, but also to change his game habits - accompany the dog to play his old man's favorite slow-paced positional battle. Yu Fei really doesn't understand, he is obviously a recognized dog, why is his basketball IQ so low? When you're older, you still want the data to look good, you shoot more threes, don't defend, keep your physical strength to attack quickly, with his old man's current technical level, it's really easy to score 25 points per game, but he doesn't, in BQ (ball quotient) and 20 years later, the adaptive dog who wears a crown for himself regardless of the occasion is really much worse.

Now Yu Fei feels that he has played value, but he doesn't want to bow to Jordan, but if he doesn't bow his head, his playing time will not increase, so what can he do? Trade, ask the Wizards to exchange the value he has already played for a fighter who is willing to be a dog for Jordan, and both sides will have a bright future.

Trem understood Yu Fei's situation, and he understood his thoughts.

However, this idea is a bit naïve, after all, he is only 18 years old, and it is impossible to expect him to be as thoughtful as a 30-year-old social person.

After Yu Fei told his situation and thoughts, he found that the agent showed a playful smile.

"What's wrong?"

"Fry, do you know Ratrier Sprewell?"

"Haven't you seen our opener, our first game was the Knicks."

"Really?" Trem revealed he didn't watch the Wizards' opener, "Did you know that Ratrill once pinched the head coach's neck on the training floor? ”

Yu Fei nodded, of course, who doesn't know?

"Although Ratrill reinvented his career in New York, the consequences of his chokehold incident cost him a few seasons that were irretrievable." "That's what we're going to learn in this matter, don't do the irreversible," Trem said. ”

Is it irretrievable to apply for a transaction?

It just so happened that Yu Fei didn't want to redeem it.

Then, Trem continued: "If we do that, you're going to have a very disadvantageous situation, first of all, the public goodwill that you've worked so hard to build up will be completely drained, and whatever your reason, fans won't have a good impression of someone who has just played 11 games for their parent club and is asking for a trade because they have played too little minutes." ”

"Then there are the teams that may be involved in the trade, and although you are doing well in the game, you may not be aware that there is a force on the outside world that hypes you up to be young and unwilling to be coached and disciplined."

"That could be true." Yu Fei laughed self-deprecatingly, "But it's not entirely true, because here, all I get is 'discipline', not 'guidance'." ”

As for this kind of "discipline", Yu Fei can only say who wants whoever comes.

"But who knows the truth?" Trem revealed the key part of the matter, "Neither you nor I can control the public opinion. However, Michael can. ”

Jordan's power to control public opinion, Yu Fei has already seen it.

The mistress incident that caused a lot of trouble some time ago has now been put down.

"As long as Michael wants to, he can use his media relations to convince all teams that you are a capable but unrestrained thorn, and then, even if we request a trade, no team will be willing to pay the chips that the Wizards can accept to get you." "Once we apply for a deal and no one cares, that's the scariest outcome," Trem said. ”

Trem successfully dispelled Yu Fei's idea of "I'm leaving now", "What should I do now?" ”

"If you want me to say, you're in a good position right now, and it's Doug and Michael who are under pressure." "The better you play in your limited playing time, the louder the calls for more playing time become, and now you're on an eight-game losing streak and you're the only one in the team who hasn't been in the starting lineup," Trem said. And last night, you scored 25 points as a substitute. We just need to find a few media friends and give it a gentle push."

Yu Fei really doesn't think that relying on the pressure of the media can solve his own problems.

But Therem wasn't done yet.

"I'm going to call Doug, I'm going to ask him to explain the situation, I'm going to force him to increase your playing time, I'm going to threaten him if he doesn't give me a clear answer, I'm going to let him know that if you continue like this, you could make a trade request."

Trym's words reminded Yu Fei of a sentence he had seen on the Internet before.

The most threatening time for the nuclear button is before it is pressed.

If they apply for a trade directly, the Wizards will directly look for a solution for their own needs, but if the possibility of "I can only apply for a trade if you are like this again" is taken out, Collins and Jordan will have to think that if they continue to do this, they may lose Yu Fei.

"Then, you can also show aggression appropriately when you're training." Trem asked, "Of the few starters on a regular basis, who has the worst relationship with you?" ”

Yu Fei wanted to talk about Jordan, but after opening his mouth, he changed his words: "Christian Leitner." ”

"Teach him a lesson, humiliate him, trample on him, let everybody know one thing deeply and unmistakably that you are more worthy of being a starter than he is."

This lunch was not in vain, Yu Fei found that his agent was really a dog-headed strategist, with one ghost idea after another, and it all sounded quite feasible, especially the last one.

That afternoon, half an hour before the training session, the Wizards held an internal meeting.

Doug Collins wanted the players to speak their minds and summarize the reasons for the team's eight-game losing streak.

"I did my best" is a phrase that comes up frequently at meetings.

Christian Leitner faintly pointed the finger at Yu Fei: "If someone leaves the field two minutes before the end of the match, as if he is the only one who hasn't lost, I don't think it will help us." ”

Yu Fei refuted him without waiting for others to speak: "That's right, the person who shot 3 out of 10 in the whole game accused a person who scored the team's highest score in 19 minutes for not helping the game, that's why we lost eight in a row, I really didn't help you, I admit it's my fault that I can't get 100 points in 19 minutes!" ”

"Calm down, rookie!" "You played well yesterday, but it really wasn't right to leave early," Whitney said. ”

Yu Fei snorted lightly: "What's wrong?" Apparently I was the only one who wanted to win yesterday. ”

"You think I don't want to win?"

Jordan looked directly at Yu Fei, and his bloodshot big brown eyes looked like a snake would fly out at any time and swallow Yu Fei.

It's okay that Jordan didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Yu Fei had a stress reaction.

Last night's game was the ugliest one Jordan has played since his comeback.

How dare you lick your face and say you wanted to win last night, an old waste who shot 6 out of 25?

Just as Yu Fei was about to say this sentence in a state of stress, Collins interrupted the terrible scene that almost happened, "Okay, we are meeting to sum up the experience of failure, not to let you blame each other here." ”

You're going to be a plasterer, and I'll see what you can come up with.

However, Jordan couldn't take it anymore.

There are too many young teammates here, who have been tortured by a mediocre team to lose the ambition of their youth before he arrived, and eight consecutive defeats are unfortunate for them, but not shameful, and they perfectly show the cold and kind demeanor of the trampled athlete here, although they keep suffering defeats, but they do their best, this is the strength of the team.

For Jordan, it was a harsh reminder.

It reminded him of his failed baseball career after retiring for the first time.

That mediocre baseball life taught Jordan a truth: how easy it is for human beings to fail, how easy it is to stay at the bottom, and how easy it is to get self-satisfaction and solace from the cliché that a losing team struggles hard but unfortunately fails.

The only one who doesn't say such things is the damn Yu Fei!

This made Jordan even angrier!

"I don't want to hear that bullshit from these bastards anymore!" Jordan yelled, "You think you're doing your best and you're feeling good, but what's the if you can't win?" If you don't try your best, you can work harder than you try, and take out the last bit of strength in your body, even if you are desperate on the field, I don't want to hear the word "try your best" again, damn it, get out of my hands and train! ”

Cheers to the dogs, cheers to the dogs, there's never been a better player meeting like this!
