The news of Yu Fei's transfer to Seattle spread quickly.

If even Bucks fans didn't believe it was going to happen before it happened, what about fans of other teams?

Of course, I won't believe it.

Because the SuperSonics are the worst team in the West, and the Bucks just won two straight championships, with healthy salary space and plenty of strong young players on rookie contracts, a man who wants to surpass Michael Jordan should never leave the Bucks.

But Yu Fei still left.

The reason is that Supersonic is facing relocation, and he decides to respond to the call of his hometown and do everything he can to change what is about to happen.

This quickly formed a chain reaction, and Yu Fei's negative reputation was reversed in an instant, and even those fans of the team who had been beaten by him would send him blessings.

"How many players will give up a three-peat, to go to a bottom-of-the-table team with the goal of saving their hometown team? I mean, in the next 100 years, will we ever see this happen? Everybody knows I have a problem with Frye, but this incident has made me a fan of him, and as long as he doesn't lead the SuperSonics to the Finals in the next three years, I'll support him in this matter to the end. ”

Well-known flying black Bill Simmons wrote in his op-ed.

As expected by the people around Yu Fei, the transfer supersonic has had a decisive impact on Yu Fei's reputation.

In early July, when Yu Fei and his entourage arrived in Seattle, all the influential local media and thousands of fans gathered outside the airport.

They roared Yu Fei's name, just as believers saw a god descend.

There were also crowds from the group "Save Our HyperSound" chanting the slogans they spread throughout the Union.

It's just that this slogan has an extra name.

"Fry, the supersonic !! that saved us"

“.！！！”

Yu Fei was interviewed by the Seattle Times at the scene.

"We all know you've accomplished so much in Milwaukee, what motivated you to come back to Seattle?"

Yu Fei smiled and said what he had prepared early in a comfortable pace and tone: "Before anyone cared where I played, I was just a kid from western Washington state. It's where I've walked, where I've run, where I've cried, and where I've bled out. It will always hold a special place in my heart. ”

Hearing this, the reporter from the Seattle Times trembled with excitement: "Clay Bennett is a native of Oklahoma, everyone here knows that he wants to take the team away, and we are also facing arena problems that threaten to make us lose the supersonic, Fry, do you have a solution?" ”

"Mr. Bennett promised me that he would work with me to find a way to leave the supersound behind," Yu said. We'll get this done before the team's contract with Key Arena expires. ”

Yu Fei's seemingly bland words revealed a big news to the outside world.

He didn't come with just a lot of blood, he had a plan.

"Frye and Bennett made a deal that the SuperSonics would stay in Seattle until the summer of 2010?"

The crowd whispered.

The interview was over, and Yu Fei was about to leave the scene with the help of security guards, but the fans were too enthusiastic.

In the end, Yu Fei jumped on the grass slope outside the airport, and at this moment, everyone was watching, he took the microphone from the reporter's hand and shouted: "Let's save the supersonic together!" ”

Before Yu Fei starts saving the hypersound, let people first see his amazing commercial value.

On the first day of their return to Seattle, Yu Fei's camp kept announcing that they had partnered with the big local brands in Seattle.

On the other hand, Supersonic is working on completing various matters agreed with Yu Fei in advance.

First, they fired PJ Callesimo, who was supposed to be regularized, and then signed a 1+1 two-year contract with Bucks championship coach George Karl (like Yu Fei).

Then they had problems signing Kwame Brown and Raga Bale.

The main thing is that there is a problem on Bale's side.

Orlando offered Bell a four-year, $36 million contract.

This is something that supersonic cannot satisfy, and it also puts Bell in a dilemma.

Yu Fei said to him, "Remember what I said to you? Make the best decision for your family. ”

Bell apologizes to Yu Fei and signs a contract with Magic.

The biggest beneficiary of this incident was Kwame Brown, and his contract was made bigger because of it.

SuperSonics offered him a two-year, $16 million contract.

Like Yu Fei and Carl, this contract is also a 1+1 with a player option.

Wave after wave of unsettled, SuperSonics has just suffered a setback in signing Laga Bell and is in trouble with signing Carter.

As the only All-Star on the SuperSonics, Rashad Lewis didn't want to be the first star of the Oklahoma SuperSonics after the team relocated, so he initially decided to terminate the remaining two years of his contract this summer.

However, Yu Fei actually came.

Lewis had some bold ideas as a result.

As we all know, Da Fei is a big core with the ball, and it is extremely suitable for the attributes of the spatial inner line.

So who is the league's No. 1 spatial interior liner? Rashad Lewis, of course.

Last season, Lewis averaged 22 points per game as the No. 4 and shot 39 percent from three-point range.

Lewis believes that there is no better inside line for him than on Da Fei.

The reason why Lewis wants to join forces with Yu Fei is also very simple, not only is Da Fei's dominance of four championships in five years in Milwaukee trustworthy, but also how Kwame Brown can step on a parallel commodity by his side, and now no one objects to saying that he is the league's No. 1 center.

In terms of statistics, Brown has averaged 11+7 and 10+6 per game in the past two years, but he won the championship, and he has a 20+10 single-game performance against top interior players such as O'Neal Jr. and Duncan, which gives him the capital to boast, and therefore entered the training list of the Dream Team this summer.

Moreover, Brown could steal a spot on the Dream Team.

With these considerations in mind, Lewis decided not to go, and he was going to execute the next two years of his contract.

Sam Presti, the general manager of the supersonics, has never seen anything like this.

If Lewis doesn't go, they don't have space.

If there is no space, why sign Carter?

Presti immediately contacted Yu Fei and informed him of Lewis's decision.

At that time, Yu Fei was training with Carter.

Hearing the news, he said self-deprecatingly: "Sometimes too much charisma is not necessarily a good thing. ”

"What do you mean?"

Carter was stunned.

"You can't come to Seattle." Yu Fei said.

It's certainly a shame for Carter, but he's not the kind of player that no one wants.

The strongest team on the free market is the Orlando Magic.

Once Howard's talent was confirmed, they wanted to build a competitive team for the Warcraft under their rookie contract.

After snatching Bale, Rashad Lewis was another target for them.

But unexpectedly, Lewis, who had been in trouble for a season, actually chose to stay in Seattle, which made them have to spend a lot of money to sign Vince Carter, who is no longer a demigod.

Carter accepted the invitation and turned to leave the Warriors who had recently created the Black Eight Miracle.

At this point, the offseason operation of the supersonic has come to an end.

The original plan to meet Yu Fei with the supersonic was only Kwame Brown, and the others failed to make the trip for one reason or another.

However, looking at the supersonic lineup, Yu Fei feels that the new season is still promising.

In addition to themselves and Brown, the SuperSonics acquired Kevin Durant, Brandon Roy, Channing Frye and Josh Childis, plus Rashard Lewis who stayed on the team through a few years of swinging.

On paper, the SuperSonics have a great seven-man rotation.

Other things, Yu Fei can't worry about it for the time being.

This summer, Yu Fei did a good job of psychological construction, officially accepted the call of the United States Basketball Association, and went to Las Vegas with Kwame Brown in mid-July to participate in the Dream Team's training camp.

Although there is no World Series this year, the U.S. team will have to prepare for this summer's Olympic qualifiers in the Americas as they finished third at last year's World Championships.

Compared with the 03 generation, which has actively participated in the national team since 2004, Yu Fei belongs to the newcomers of the national team.

But this is an indispensable newcomer to the American team.

Because Yu Fei is the first person in the league, and the first person in the NBA can basically be equated with the active first person in the basketball field.

For the U.S. team, which has lost three world championships in a row, if there is anyone who can make the Dream Team great again, it must be Yu Fei.

So, that xenophobia from within the team didn't affect the Dream Team's coaching staff.

On the first day Yu Fei came to Las Vegas, Coach K excitedly told reporters: "Our strongest man is already in the formation!" ”

Then, the reporter, who has never been a big deal, asked, "Did you say last year that Frye would be the captain of the team whenever he joined the U.S. team?" ”

When Japan was defeated, the top management of the American Basketball Association was all in a state of loss, but their greatest consolation was that the best players in the country were not on the team.

Lao K did not expect Yu Fei, who has always rejected the national team, to join him this year.

Therefore, he ignored the intentions of James and others, and directly told the media that Yu Fei would become Captain America if he came.

But it's not that simple.

At least, it was not so simple that as soon as Yu Fei came, someone would raise his arms and shout for him, so he directly added a yellow robe.

That's not how it works.

"You know," said K Sr., euphemistically, "given the resume, Frye is the ideal captain for me." ”

The correct translation of this sentence is: But he has not yet proven himself in the training team.

Except for veterans like Duncan and Garnett, the U.S. team has basically assembled all the elite this year.

In addition to those who have already made a name for themselves, there are also potential stars like Durant and Oden on the training team.

The first day Yu Fei and Brown entered the camp was also his first meeting with Durant.

"Frye, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Durant, like all promising rising stars, is trying to make himself look more mature than his age.

The problem is, that's not what they are.

Even James, a large part of the maturity and steadiness he showed to the public in the early days belonged to the team.

"What should I call you?" Yu Fei joked, "Kevin? KD？ Or a little ghost who likes to wash your feet? ”

Thinking of this past, Durant was a little embarrassed: "I was a kid who didn't know anything at the time. You know, when I got the opportunity to talk to the great Fry, I decided to say something special."

Yu Fei didn't take this matter to heart, he then asked, "I heard that your hometown is here?" ”

"Yes, I was born there."

"Who do you support when I have an unpleasant relationship with the 23rd?"

Yu Fei interrogated as if investigating the ingredients.

"Michael: We all supported Michael at the time." Durant knows how to suppress first and then promote, "But when Michael traded you, I didn't support him,"

Kwame Brown on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief for Durant.

If he hadn't said the second half, Brown couldn't have imagined how the imp was going to spend his rookie season.

"You came to Las Vegas a week before I did, tell me, what's going on here?" Yu Fei began to turn the topic to the training team.

Durant also relaxed: "The people here are very nice, take care of me very much, and there is a very, very much love between us."

"Don't fart." Yu Fei was mildly rude, "Tell me, who is the head dog of the training camp." ”

Durant began to sweat on his forehead: "Efrey, I don't know. ”

"You don't know?"

"I don't know who's in the leadership position because I don't usually play against them."

While Team USA has a tradition of taking young people to experience the Dream Team, this summer is about Olympic qualification.

The U.S. team has lost face in the past few years, and if they want to make a bigger appearance, they will be beaten in the Olympic qualifiers and will not even qualify for the Olympics.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, young people like Durant are generally not recruited, so the main purpose of their visit is to have a long experience.

"Then tell me who you hate the most here."

"No," Xiao Du now focuses on a high emotional intelligence, "everyone is very good to me." ”

Yu Fei almost didn't recognize him anymore.

"Okay, how about LeBron?" Yu Fei smiled and said, "I heard that he is very unhappy that I came here?" ”

"Uh. This. I think I think LeBron should." Durant looked at Yu Fei's face, "You should be welcome, but."

Yu Fei smiled and asked, "But what?" ”

"Yesterday, LeBron spoke to us publicly, saying that the future of Team USA is up to us, and they want everyone to put the glory of Team USA first, don't."

Yu Fei was obviously laughing, but Durant's fear was getting deeper and deeper.

"Don't want anything?"

Yu Fei asked.

"Don't only care about yourself like some people." Durant stressed, "That's what LeBron said. ”

"Okay."

Yu Fei patted Durant on the shoulder and walked to the locker room.

Durant blinked and looked at Brown, wondering how he was doing.

"Okay." Brown nodded, "I can see that Da Fei likes you." ”

Durant felt relieved that Kwame Brown was a well-known big flying loyal dog, and he would definitely not be wrong when he said so.

However, Brown's next sentence made Durant sweat: "It's like he used to like LeBron." ”
