For some, media day is an opportunity to express one's ambitions to the outside world, while for others, it is an opportunity to complain.

After winning the title, Ray Allen was about 95% happy and 5% dissatisfied. His pleasure comes from the championship itself, while his dissatisfaction lies with Fei.

Most of the teams that win the championship have protagonists, and if there is a champion team that can't find the protagonist, it can only prove one thing, the main players of this team are balanced, there are no obvious superstars, and such a team is destined to be unliked by the media.

The Bucks are not immune, as they have a protagonist on their team who fits all the traditional sports hero narratives.

In his debut, he shook the tallest mountain in the sports world and took advantage in the process of competing with the other party, which led to the high mountain in the sports world having to end the competition by way of a trade. Being traded means being abandoned by the owner, and only by proving yourself quickly can you hit the people and organizations that make the decision to the maximum.

As a result, he won the MVP in his second season and led the team to a championship.

Such a presence is destined to be the focus of the media, and even when he plays in Milwaukee, Fourth Authority still keeps an eye on his every move.

is also a champion, Yu Fei won everything, and Ray Allen is just a champion to the outside world. But the champion also means the highest endorsement contract in the industry, immeasurable commercial value and public opinion for Fei.

The world knows that Yu Fei is equal to the bucks, but the problem is that he only played in the bucks for one year.

Ray Allen believes that his and others' contributions deserve to be respected and valued.

However, it backfired.

Yu Fei's name resounded all summer, he was the new superstar, the fans liked him, the media knelt and licked him, the sponsors chased him, and what about the others?

'I think Fry played a great season and he deserved everything he got, but other people's performances shouldn't go unnoticed.' Ray Allen said, "We are a collective, and we can't do without anyone. ”

Ray Allen's various performances solved a puzzle for Yu Fei.

For a while, Yu Fei studied Jordan very well, and thought that Pippen was so tormented in the shadow of the flyer, was it because he joined the team later? Would it have been different if he had entered the Bulls earlier than Jordan and had been tortured by the team before welcoming the arrival of the Purple MSI?

Ray Allen's reaction provided a clear model for Yu Fei.

Understanding does not exist, acceptance is impossible, and the human heart can neither accept the test nor withstand the gap.

Unless you're David Robinson.

But there is only one David Robinson, and even a person like Robinson must meet a good recipe like Duncan to die well.

Compared with Ray Allen, Yu Fei prefers Michael Reed's statement.

Reid told the Milwaukee Sentinel, "We're all playing under Frye, and I mean, I can only be the best version of myself if I'm around Frye. He's the Magic Johnson of our generation, and even a schoolboy gets better by his side. ”

Reed shows fan-like admiration, does this mean that he approves of Yu Fei's leadership?

Yu Fei likes his attitude, but the truth is not necessarily so.

What matters is the answer to another question that he faces.

"What are your goals for the new season?"

"I think I proved last season my worth as a regular player, I can take on more responsibilities, contribute more, all I need is chance," Reid said with a strong sense of urgency. ”

It was difficult for Yu Fei to judge his thoughts by Reed's statement.

Is he genuinely willing to accept his leadership, or is he just using this as a cover to compete with Ray Allen?

Yu Fei doesn't have an answer yet, but he's interested in waiting to see Reed's next move.

As the defending champions, the Bucks have grown two striking barbs in training camp.

Ray Allen's jealousy of Fly and having to face a challenge from Reed.

Others behave a little normally, but that doesn't mean there aren't problems.

At the end of the media day, the Bucks gathered in the center of the camp for a group photo.

New recruit Quentin Richardson brought Yu Fei a crown, "Fry, this should suit you very well!" ”

Crown?

Yu Fei felt that he was already embarrassed to steal James's nickname, the crown or something, just leave it to his little brother.

When you are an older brother, you have to leave something for your younger brother.

"I don't need to, I'll wear it myself." Yu Fei refused to resign.

Richardson exclaimed, "You must wear this crown, only in this way can you prove that you have the determination to defend the crown, don't you have confidence?" Fry, show the momentum you're playing! ”

Yu Fei couldn't understand the other party's logic very well, but he took over the crown used for taking pictures.

He was pretty sure he hadn't worn it.

Now he didn't plan to wear it either, just held it in his hand and turned it gently like a plaything.

Subsequently, the cameraman took a group photo of the Bucks before the start of the new season.

That night, the Bucks hosted a barbecue party at the camp in the training camp.

George Carr drank beer and chatted with Yu Fei.

At first, the conversation was just a parent's story, and suddenly, Carl said, "You know Ray has been restless lately, right?" ”

If Yu Fei didn't know what Ray Allen said in the media in advance, he might have thought that Carl had relapsed from his old illness.

Now, in response to Carl's question, he asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"He didn't say anything bad about you, in fact, he said bad things about the media." Carl said contemptuously, "But delicate boys like him, you know, they don't just like to talk back, they like to make puns, and even though many people don't understand it, the finger is really pointed at you." ”

Yu Fei continued to pretend to be stupid: "What do you mean?" ”

Karl sighed, frustrated by the sluggishness of flying: "He thinks it's the whole team to win the championship, but the main narrative of the media is you, and he thinks they deserve the same praise and recognition." ”

What a reasonable appeal, and why would a dead fat pig find Rey-ray restless?

Yu Fei looked at Carl with a smile and a word.

"It can't be, he's dreaming!" Karl is a staunch Yupai, from start to finish, "You're worth more than everyone else combined, and it's a basic fact that without you, not only would we not be able to win the championship, but we would have struggled to make it past the first round of the playoffs." From a media perspective, people don't get excited about the stories of Ray Allen or the rest of the team, because before you, they were just a bunch of losers. You made them champions, and now he's accusing the media of praising you too much, which is terrible to think about, and we have to take it seriously. ”

Maybe Carl doesn't believe it, but Yu Fei understands Ray Allen.

He really understood.

Yu Fei spent his rookie season in Washington, D.C., where he was forced to answer 10,000 "what do you have to do to help Michael?"

The problem is that Yu Fei's situation with the Wizards is that Jordan is old and weak, and the media ignores the contributions of their young people and exaggerates Jordan's performance. The current situation of the Bucks is that Yu Fei is the best and Ray Allen is an excellent second-in-command, but his personal performance cannot be compared to him.

In other words, Yu Fei's performance can be praised.

Although Carl has been coaching in the NBA for many years, this is the first time he has encountered the problem of "the second child is jealous of the boss".

During the supersonic period, Peyton and Kemp worked closely together, but they never achieved complete success, so the problem of the second being jealous of the boss did not exist. At the time, the SuperSonics created the internal problems of the era with an incomprehensible operation — they gave a white center named Jim McIlvaine C $30 million for seven years when Sean Camp was on his hands for three years and $7 million. The man averaged 2 points and 2 rebounds per game per year after signing this contract.

It was a trademark "how God agreed" stupid signing that screwed up Kemp's mentality and lifted the SuperSonics out of the championship ranks.

This was a "star player jealous of role player" problem that was characteristic of that era.

According to Carl, the problem facing Yu Fei is much more complex than that.

However, Yu Fei is not afraid of Ray Allen, let alone the other party's jealousy and complaints.

If there is a problem, it is also Yu Fei's problem.

Yu Fei first came to drive last season, in order to unite all the forces that can be united, he recognized Ray Allen, the boss, even if he won the MVP and FMVP, in the other party's heart, he is still "to assist me".

Since it was Yu Fei who created the illusion of "I am still the boss" for Ray Allen, he has the obligation to let the other party return to reality from the fantasy world.

Moreover, he believes that Ray Allen has no other way to go except to recognize reality.

In terms of strength, Yu Fei is obviously above him, in terms of support within the team, except for Yu Fei last season, no one in the team recognizes him as the boss, and in terms of competitive pressure, Reed's unsubdued heart has been revealed. Not only does he need to recognize reality, but he also needs Yu Fei to help him suppress Reed.

What's more, according to Ray Allen's temperament that likes mental internal friction, Yu Fei really doesn't believe that he will turn his face with himself for this kind of thing, he wants to have this backbone, he has already broken Carl's skull, and he is still needed to clean up the team?

Yu Fei took a look at his own situation, Ray Allen's situation and the general situation of the team, and found that he not only did not need to worry about his teammates messing up, but also could see what they wanted to do at the beginning of the season.

However, Ray Allen's practice of revealing his dissatisfaction to reporters clearly violated the "fart in person" clause, so Yu Fei forcibly occupied his parking space the next day.

When Ray Allen came to ask for the guilt in a menacing manner, Yu Fei said jokingly: "If you can't control your mouth, you won't just lose the parking space." ”

Ray Allen was angry, but helpless, turned around angrily, looked for a place to pick himself up, sulking in vain.

It seems that he is still the same boy as before, and he has not changed in the slightest.
