For the first half of December, the main focus was on New York and Indiana. The former was notable for the chaotic team atmosphere that brought the drama to the fore, while the latter struggled with Ron Artest's unpredictable behaviour.

However, no one could have imagined that the news off the pitch could also ruin a young star's life for a short time.

On December 15, Gloria James, 37, was arrested for dangerous driving, speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, disorderly and damaging the equipment of a police car.

The reason why this news has attracted national attention is because Gloria is the mother of LeBron James.

According to the officers at the scene, Gloria was not friendly to law enforcement officers, and she "screamed, yelled, lost her temper, and swore like a madman."

's mother has an accident, and James, as the traffic king of the younger generation of the NBA, will naturally receive extra attention.

James showed his usual composure in this matter.

"I don't know what's going on yet," LeBron said before the game against the Pacers on the road, "and once I understand it and sit down with my family and talk about it, you know, I'll be able to comment on it better." ”

If there are no additional circumstances, then this is just another minor nuisance that Gloria has caused off the field.

As the Son of Man, James can tolerate all his mother's mistakes.

But Frye became known as the NBA's Prohibition ambassador.

Ever since Yu Fei became a ban ambassador, after every match, a reporter would ask him about becoming a ban ambassador.

And Yu Fei also took the trouble to emphasize that this is a noble mission entrusted to him, and as a public figure, it is necessary for him to show his sense of social responsibility.

The comparison between Yu Fei and James has become a common topic in the NBA, but the people in the Yu Fei camp are extremely tired of this comparison because they believe that James is not qualified to compare with Yu Fei.

This incident made Yu Fei's supporters find that Da Fei has one more place to beat LeBron.

Single-parent families also have advantages and disadvantages.

Da Fei's mother is a successful businessman, and the outside world knows nothing about her other than this identity, and she has not caused any negative news to shame Da Fei.

But Gloria, of course, she is not bad, compared to Wade's mother, compared to Jim Butler's mother, compared to the famous bad mothers in the NBA, she is definitely a good woman, worthy of LeBron's pride, but she also has some grassroots habits as a grassroots, and from time to time she will cause some trouble, which is compared.

The public can't help but start questioning whether James says one thing and does another, because his mother constantly causes him trouble, but he has no ability to restrain the other party.

A small thing, fueled by some force, becomes a big thing.

It was such a major event that was considered to have dealt a serious blow to James' brand image, and some reporters with insufficient IQ balances speculated that James was behind the scenes, because his new generation of Nike's signature boots was about to be released.

James was overwhelmed by the unwarranted disaster, and the people around him were also impetuous, looking at everyone as if they were trying to murder Xiao Zhan.

"If Frye hadn't been that ambassador, this matter wouldn't have gotten so much trouble at all!" James' assistant, Randy Meems, said indignantly after James was once again harassed by reporters over his mother's drunk driving incident.

However, it obviously makes no sense to dump the pot on Da Fei.

Yu Fei became this ambassador on Thanksgiving, how did he know that Zhan's mother would drink and drive?

"Don't talk about it." James was distraught, "I don't want to hear this!" ”

Rich Paul asked, "Did Fry call after what happened?" ”

"He called the first time." James said, "I regret it. ”

Paul asked, "And then?" Didn't he do something? ”

"He didn't know what to do." "He also wanted to know what he could do." ”

Paul laughed mockingly: "That is, he has nothing to offer but verbal comfort?" ”

The words are hard to hear, but they are true.

Yu Fei could not be an anti-alcohol ambassador while publicly saying to the family of the drunk driver: "I stand with you. ”

"You know, he's a Prohibition ambassador, there's no way he's going to publicly support my mom." James said, "I understand what he's doing. ”

For the people in James' camp led by Paul, the core of them is James, and they will do everything in their power to protect the reputation, image and status of this man.

As James's tentacles and tentacles to the outside world, they feel the arrogance and arrogance of the flying camp in all aspects.

In the eyes of the people around Yu Fei, comparing James with Yu Fei is an insult.

Paul is sure that this matter is so big, Reebok behind Yu Fei, and his newly established "B-B-F" company must have secretly made a lot of effort.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have become a national event.

Moreover, he could see that although LeBron said that he understood and didn't mind, there would definitely be some mustard in his heart.

Frye Yu keeps saying that LeBron is his little brother, but he doesn't stand up for LeBron like a big brother in this matter.

Worried about the image of the Prohibition Ambassador and cherishing his reputation? These are all good reasons, but does Guy Frye cherish his image and reputation?

Did you ever care about your image and reputation when you threatened management for a thug like Ratriel Sprewell, who choked the neck of a fan?

How can you have ever had the slightest sense of social responsibility when you repeatedly refused the call-up of the U.S. team for your own selfish interests?

There are some things, the truth is this truth, but no one is perfect, nothing is perfect, as long as you are willing to find an angle, there will always be loopholes and flaws.

On the go

Not only did the Bucks' home arena age, but even the special plane was significantly degraded, and the road to Texas was bumpy and bumpy, giving people the feeling that they were about to crash.

Many threw up.

Yu Fei uncharacteristically sat across from Kwame Brown, with Ariza and Spreville on the side.

The plane was so jolting that Brown suspected he was going to die at the age of 23.

"Damn! Damn it! I shouldn't have come to Milwaukee! Brown Ghost shouted, "Why are we on such a plane!" ”

"Shut up, deal the cards!" Yu Fei glanced at him, "I'm here to play cards!" ”

Eventually, the plane arrived safely at the airport.

Outside the airport, a group of reporters who got the news came here early.

"Fry, what do you think of Gloria James' DUI?"

"What is your position on this matter?"

"As an ambassador for prohibition, shouldn't you stand up to this kind of behavior? Why haven't you commented on this? ”

Yu Fei smiled: "You know, I am a Prohibition Ambassador, you can ask the Prohibition Ambassador of Cleveland this question." ”

That night, Yu Fei scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against the Rockets, if you ignore the decimal point, this is Yu Fei's current average data per game.

The all-round performance allowed him to overwhelm Maddie, who was beginning to be visibly affected by congenital spinal problems.

Maddie didn't play well, Yao Ming was out again due to injury, and the Bucks won 10 straight against the Rockets, which brought their record to the top of the league.

Yu Fei, who averaged a triple-double per game and led the team to the first record in the league, was naturally the first in the latest MVP simulation prediction.

Even so, the media is still more concerned about Yu Fei's attitude towards Zhan's mother's drunk driving.

Yu Fei did not make a direct comment, but only ignored the problem itself with some ambiguous words.

When a reporter who is familiar with Yu Fei wants to get close and asks him about his true attitude towards this matter.

Yu Fei's face was neither happy nor sad, but he said in a flat tone: "Jerry, I said I don't want to talk about this. ”

The reporter's heart tightened when he heard this, Yu Fei's way of treating the media was very similar to Jordan.

Usually pleasant-looking, when it comes to issues he doesn't like, he generally only gives patience to three questions.

If the reporter still wants an answer after three questions, he will never get an interview from Yu Fei/Jordan again.

Although Yu Fei had not yet shown obvious displeasure, the reporter didn't want to bet on his friendship with Yu Fei, so he didn't ask anymore.

Back in the background, the people around Yu Fei were almost annoyed.

"Why should you bear the trouble that Gloria is in?" Lawson complained, "It doesn't make sense at all!" ”

Kevin Lin on one side said: "I heard that people in LeBron's camp are very unhappy with Fry. ”

"Dissatisfied?" Lawson was so angry that his mouth was about to crooked, "Why are you dissatisfied? ”

Kevin Lin laughed: "They don't think Frye has supported LeBron enough in this matter. ”

Lawson smiled angrily and looked at Yu Fei, "Da Fei, what do you say?" ”

"I'm not a person who values fame." Yu Fei said, "But this matter is my mother Zhang Luo, I can't let her lose face, do you understand?" ”

Lawson thought to himself, reputation is still needed.

Especially for people like Yu Fei, who have been promoted as a global brand by Reebok, they should pay more attention to their reputation.

"LeBron doesn't think about that." Lawson said, "They only care if you can stand with him on this matter." ”

Yu Fei was only silent about this.

Kevin Lin suddenly remembered something before he officially joined Yu Fei's team.

When Yu Fei refused to join Larry Brown's Dream Team, he was greatly criticized, he was still in college at the time, although he didn't know what happened, he clearly remembered that James Yu Fei took the initiative to join the Dream Team in Athens in the summer when he was criticized by the outside world.

Did James stand with Yu Fei at that time?

No, not only did he not come out to support Yu Fei, but he also publicly announced that he wanted to join the national team in an interview, thus showing that his sense of national honor is stronger than Yu Fei.

Now, he actually wants to make Yu Fei openly support him regardless of his image of prohibiting alcohol endorsement for the sake of his mother's drunk driving?

"Fortune," said Kevin Lin, "a true friend won't let you get out of this situation." ”

Yu Fei thought that this was not a big deal, but the people around him and the senior management of Reebok felt that it was a rare opportunity.

A small thing has been hyped up little by little, until now, there is a growing momentum.

Yu Fei couldn't tell the truth of these sources, he only knew this, and neither he nor James wanted this incident to affect the relationship between the two.

This is the reason why they are restrained in their statements to the outside world.

It's just that some things are out of control.
