Houston

Yu Fei remembered that every time he came before, he could see a huge poster of Yao Shu's image, but now, there is less publicity.

Is it because they don't love Yao Shu? Not. They may love Yao Shu more than in the past, but they no longer regard him as the "next big thing".

This made Yu Fei think of an inappropriate comparison, that is, the future Zion Williamson, who was offered by Nike for $90 million before he entered the league, although he didn't play much in his rookie season, he seemed to have All-Star level strength, but what about the next few years? He's been struggling with his weight and has made limited progress, and when he was exposed to playing a mother-son role-playing game with a young actress in the dark world while recuperating from an injury, he lost everything outside of his NBA status at a rate that was visible to the naked eye.

Pelican fans may still expect him to return to the court, after all, he's a good player who just doesn't play a lot, but can they expect him to be as great as James? We all know that the only thing that may be more explosive than James for the rest of his life is the small video tape of the mother-son cosplay with the actress of the year to flow to the world, and that is the only place where he can surpass James.

Yao Shu certainly didn't have the same notoriety as the fat tiger in the post-role-playing era, no, strictly speaking, he was already proficient in English and began to exude a charisma and be more likable.

But he didn't become the O'Neal-esque supercenter that people expected before the draft.

So, he's just a very nice celebrity now, but he doesn't need to be hyped anymore.

This year's All-Star Weekend has a different segment than in previous years.

Houston hosts a carnival the day before the official start of the All-Star event.

Players who are theoretically required to participate in All-Star Weekend make a collective appearance.

This has given the already tight schedule of stars one less day off.

Since this pre-race carnival was the first of its kind, everyone dared not slack off, Yu Fei came to the hotel on time, and then went to the carnival site with Martin, Lowe and Granger.

There are not only All-Stars from the East and West, but also the league's celebrities.

Bill Wharton, a commentator, writer, and a reporter signed by ESPN, Jerry West, a Bulls ambassador, Scottie Pippen, and Johnson, a Magic man where there's light. and Michael Jordan, the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, who has had a bad year in recent years, wants to use the Houston All-Star Weekend to promote the upcoming AJ21.

"Frye, you're there." As soon as they met, Wharton teased the recent "bloodstained crown" incident, "A lot of people say that it was Gary's fabrication, but I fully believe that is what you will say." ”

Yu Fei said helplessly: "It sounds like I'm a bad person. ”

"Nope." Wharton said indistently, "You're just like Michael." ”

Seeing Yu Fei's glare, Wharton left with a smile.

Subsequently, Yu Fei took the initiative to greet West.

"Jerry, your advice last time was very useful." Yu Fei said, "I am very grateful. ”

Grateful for it? Is it enough to make you jump ship from Milwaukee to Memphis?

West sneered in his heart, but there was no expression on his face: "This is your own effort, you don't need to thank anyone." ”

Yu Fei was used to this bad old man's appearance of being cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he didn't care about the other party's attitude.

Subsequently, Yu Fei went to chat with the future Da Qiao Heipipeng.

Although Pippen said hello to Jordan, he made no secret of the fact that he and Yu Fei had a good conversation, and when others asked him, "Won't you make Michael angry by doing this?" ”

Pippen replied with a cold face: "I can talk to whoever I want." ”

Rao is Yu Fei, and he can't help but feel that Pi Er's emotional intelligence is low, no matter what, he and Jordan have worked together for more than ten years.

Now that Jordan is on the scene, Pi Er laughs and talks to Jordan's biggest enemy in front of people, what does this make Jordan think of him? Can people in this world still see Jordan standing on the sidelines as a Pippen's Hall of Fame recommender listening to Pippen's "Thank God, thank Dad, thank Mom, thank Danzi"?

Fortunately, Pippen's wife, Larsa, is a perceptive person, and it was she who mediated with Jordan to make the trapeze emperor look a little better.

"I know Scottie, he's the kind of guy who does what he wants." Jordan said, "Even if you don't tell me this, I won't care, Lassalle, you're so serious, I won't forget the help Scott gave me." ”

Larsa laughs, "I won't forget those days, I remember when you killed Jazz at the United Center (1997/Game1), Marcus was still asleep in my arms. ”

Jordan said nostalgically, "Well, what a good time. ”

"Young man, I like what you're doing, keep up the good work, I'm optimistic about you." Pippen and Yu Fei talked happily, and in the end they even spoke like a high-quality celebrity who likes to promote the younger generation.

It's hard to say whether what Pippen is referring to Yu Fei is doing is "averaging three doubles per game" or disgusting Jordan as pervasively as a woman comes to the month.

Then, Yu Fei went to greet the all-stars in the east.

He and Jordan were on good terms, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that Yu Fei didn't expect the alliance to have a blockbuster arrangement.

As is customary, media access is allowed to all public events of the Alliance.

Today, the league has West, Dr. J, Magic, Jordan, Kobe, Yu Fei, and James as an interviewed team to attend the press conference.

All-Stars has always been a place of heritage.

A few years ago, Jordan passed the torch to young people at the All-Star Game, but the league obviously felt that such a inheritance ceremony was not formal enough, not to inherit the past, not to open the future, and even not specific, so many people in the All-Star Game, everyone is qualified to inherit Jordan's torch? Of course not, so, since it was the torch that was received from West's generation, it was natural to pass it on to specific people.

"Do you really think the torch is in my hand?" West laughed to himself, "I wasn't the biggest winner of the era. ”

Dr. J took over the topic smoothly: "IMHO, torches and legacies weren't popular before the 80s, and the tradition probably started with Irvin (the magician), so he's the one who has the most to say. ”

Magicians are like stars with their own light and start to seize the stage.

"You know, there's no 'fire' in me since Michael made that spinning layup in front of me." The magician exaggerated the compliment to Jordan next to him, "He took all the fire, so you'd better ask him about this question." ”

Yu Fei frowned when he heard this, it was unimaginable that the magician was captured by Jordan once and became an iron qiao. Looking at it this way, Xiao Zhan still has a backbone.

What about being captured twice by Duncan? What if you were captured alone by Curry once? What if you've been captured twice by Kudu? Everyone has captured each other, don't say anyone, as for Nowitzki, who was lucky enough to enter the finals twice and happened to meet Xiao Zhan's thinking problems, so he was lucky to capture people and never came to the finals again? Your retribution is not to get the NBA history deputy dog, and the 21st century dog is coming to your Hall of Fame speech to congratulate you.

Come out and mix, you have to have backbone!

Seeing the magician's dog-like face, Yu Fei felt that Xiao Zhan looked more pleasing to the eye.

Jordan made a reserved look, smiled non-stop, and took the microphone.

Then, a reporter stood up and flatteringly asked, "Michael, as the greatest player of all time, if you had to choose, who would you pass your torch to?" ”

Jordan smiled: "You know, it's a multiple-choice question. ”

"What if I could only choose one?"

Jordan looked at the three young people around him delicately, he couldn't choose Yu Fei, and he wouldn't choose Kobe Bryant - at least not the first choice, because if he chose Kobe, he would have to face the question of "why not choose Yu Fei, who looks more promising", so there was only one answer left.

"As I said, I'm not a GOAT, I have no intention of getting this title, but if I had to pick someone to carry the torch, I would choose LeBron." "Because he's the youngest, and being young means limitless possibilities." ”

James looked flattered.

Yu Fei began to roll his eyes, why am I sitting here for?

Just Yu Fei thought about who had a heart attack at the scene, so that he would have an excuse to leave.

Then, at the scene, he saw Quint Demio wearing a dog tag, who was winking at him.

Then, a bespectacled female reporter from the Washington Post gets up, her name is Lynn Sweet, and she usually covers hardcore news that has nothing to do with basketball games. Tonight, she found herself inexplicably in an unusual position, in the NBA All-Star carnival media interview room, asking the most powerful players a few sensitive questions they wouldn't answer.

Before Lynn got up, her peers knew why she was here, and soon, everyone realized that she had a question for Jordan and that she might never be here again, so they offered her the opportunity.

Lynn thanked her peers for just wanting to complete a task, and as a seasoned journalist, she felt a rare awkwardness, as if she were an outlier, but she knew that all she had to do was take the tape recorder and ask questions. That's the life of a journalist.

Jordan was smiling, excited that he could embarrass Yu Fei on such a grand occasion, and together with his gold tie and earrings and brown jacket, he looked brilliant, which gave him a familiar feeling, like going back to the 90s, when he was still in the world's attention.

It made him believe that as long as he didn't leave basketball, as long as he was still sitting here talking about basketball, nothing would change.

This delusion lasted less than two minutes, and Lynn Sweet stepped forward, stretched out the tape recorder, and asked in a mechanical voice: "The lawsuit between you and your ex-wife seems to be unsettled, do you think it is possible for you to reconcile?" ”

Everyone was stunned.

Yu Fei's pupils had a magnitude 10 earthquake.

came, and the sudden heart attack unfolded in a better way than Yu Fei imagined.

Jordan looked Lynn in the eye like a beast and said, "It's none of your business." ”

This sentence hung in the air, causing the atmosphere to freeze.

The dog-legged reporters instantly threw out more than a dozen basketball questions to resolve the embarrassment, but Lynn interrupted them loudly: "Michael, why do you think your marriage failed?" ”

"What do you say?!!"

Jordan's brown eyes were bloodshot, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and his face was terrifying.

Yu Fei is familiar with Jordan's face.

When he was still around, he often asked Jordan to make that look.

This shows that he is already furious.

"It's none of your business!" Jordan exclaimed.

The Alliance's publicist rushed to put out the fire: "Alright, ma'am, it's the turn of the others to ask questions. ”

"Hey, what's good? This lady, I like your question, is there anything else you'd like to ask? Yu Fei sneered and stopped the league's publicists, "I have been teammates with Michael for a year, maybe you can ask me some questions related to him, although I didn't get his torch, I still know something about him." ”

Jordan already had a murderous look on his face.

Lynn asked, "Are you familiar with his marriage?" ”

"Unfamiliar, and, moreover, it's his private business." Yu Fei smiled, "It's just that I happened to be his teammate when he divorced." ”

Lynn went on to say, "From your perspective, how do you see Michael's marriage? ”

"It's a private matter for him, and I won't say too much, but I can provide an extra perspective." Yu Fei just calmly said what had happened, "I was a rookie he hand-picked, and he thought I had a great character, but a year later, he traded me to Milwaukee because we didn't get along. I've won two championships in Milwaukee and there could be more in the future, so I think divorcing Michael is probably the best decision his ex-wife has ever made. ”

Yu Fei ignored Jordan, who was stopped and wanted to run away, and said flatly: "I have proved one thing, people who leave Michael Jordan will become better than in the past." ”

Then, Yu Fei turned around and looked at the hysterical Jordan: "Thank you for not giving me the torch, saving me an excuse to throw it in your face." ”

The feud between Yu Fei and Jordan, with the latter's retirement, has become a legend.

Too many people just know what is going on and don't understand the details.

There are no details today.

It's just a simple show.

A show about how much Jordan hates Yu Fei and how much Yu Fei hates Jordan.

After saying that, Yu Fei turned around and left, messing up the press conference in a simple and crude way.

Except for Jordan, every player on the scene had their own ideas.

The Magic couldn't laugh anymore, Dr. J's face was heavy, West was a little surprised, Kobe Bryant was thoughtful, and only James was completely shocked.

This is how Frye and MJ get along?

Is this the legendary feud?

Does the fact that he received the torch from MJ also mean that the hatred is going to be transferred to him?

No, no, there is no such reason, and besides, Frye simply doesn't want this damn torch.

James showed his composure in a panic and said to the reporters who were not leaving, and who were not leaving, "I can answer some questions." ”
