Yu Fei knows Durant, but he doesn't know the current Durant.

Rookie Durant blurred the dark image of the rookie Durant who scolded his teammates, had a bad relationship with the media, blew up all the teams he had been to, had strong and fragile self-esteem, and could completely put down the shelf and spray fans on the Internet.

However, Yu Fei did not believe that a person's temperament could change dramatically without experiencing terrible trauma.

And on the pitch, the chances of experiencing terrible trauma are few and far between.

Judging from Durant's resume, his Thunder career may not be smooth, but it will never leave him with a psychological shadow.

Therefore, Yu Fei's judgment of Durant is that his current image of Mr. Yes is part of Nike's marketing.

Just like Robert Downey Jr. will act like Tony Stark when he represents Marvel at an event, the purpose of this is to make people feel like he came out of a movie.

And what about Durant? Nike gave him an endorsement contract second only to James.

Like all supernovas, they need their own image.

Yu Fei is the chosen son, James is the king, and what about Durant? He was widely regarded as inferior to Oden before he entered the NBA, and he is now, with many believing that the SuperSonics' abandonment of Oden was an accident-level draft failure.

Before entering college, Durant was also a top five high school student in the nation, but he was not like Auden, who has been in the national spotlight since he was 15 years old.

Oden knows that a sunny smile can win the favor of the media, and Durant is still not used to the camera and the microphone.

The player's personality needs to be designed according to the actual situation, and Nike initially set the image of a boy next door to Durant.

He doesn't have to conquer everything with a noble will like Jordan, nor does he have to become a king like James, who was born to dominate the court, and he doesn't have Kobe's villain temperament similar to Yu Fei, he is a person who lacks qualities, Nike decided to give him an ordinary character, but it is such an ordinary character, which is extremely rare to put in a superstar.

Durant is a good guy.

That's it, he's a good guy.

With the exception of Tim Duncan, there are few stars who can make this image seem believable.

But Yu Fei didn't believe this, he believed that the annoying Durant didn't come out of thin air, and that evil side must have been attached to Durant early on, but he didn't have the opportunity to dominate the will.

It turns out that the blackened Durant is the strongest Durant, a Durant who has become a public enemy can use the same person posture to anger James twice in the Finals, and can play two historical individual performances when the Big Three are down one and one is wasted, and finally lost to the championship of the season.

Yu Fei wants to see Durant like that, and the current good guy version of Durant is too boring.

However, Xiao Du behaved submissively, no matter how much pressure he exerted, he just didn't blow up, and occasionally he looked like he was about to have a seizure, but as long as he took a deep breath, he swallowed that anger.

Yu Fei could only continue to wait, he believed that as long as the kung fu was deep, Xiao Du would be blackened sooner or later.

That's when they're open to each other.

At the beginning of October, the training camp of the supersonic team ended.

Unlike the Bucks period, Yu Fei has changed from a big core who enjoys the ball to a small forward with organizational responsibilities.

The primary responsibility for the number one position fell to Roy.

He's a great two-way guard, dribbling past half the court and being the playmaker, and for Fly, that's the equivalent of continuing his role with the U.S. team with the SuperSonics.

It's a transition and a change that you have to make when you come to a new team.

If you continue to follow the previous style of play, with Yu Fei's status, others will obediently cooperate, but in this way, it will be difficult to transform in the future.

The big core with the ball is essentially a very strong person who sucks the data of the whole team to make himself look stronger than he actually is, when the player is at the peak of the spring and autumn, this may be the result of 1+4 greater than 5, but once the age comes up, the big core's style of play can still keep the data, but the team's record cannot be guaranteed.

Moreover, it is almost impossible to transform at this time. Because the style of play is fixed, habits are difficult to change, and the inertia of the game will make people instinctively reject other ways of playing.

So, if you want to change, you should be young, and now is the right time.

Like last year, Yu Fei's team was once again scheduled to play preseason in China.

Also going to China are Yao Shu's rockets and the pioneers of Space Yi.

It is worth mentioning that after the Trail Blazers selected Space Yi, many Chinese fans were worried about whether their innocent and kind-hearted Xiao Yi would be damaged by Zach Randolph's scumbag who could lie about the death of a relative and go to a nightclub.

This concern is clearly justified.

After selecting Yi, it only took a week for the management of the Trailblazers to figure it out.

Their thinking was "we'd better not let Yi and Zach meet".

So Randolph was sent to New York.

Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan claims that Yi's potential is unimaginable, that he is the best young player he has ever seen, and they want Chinese fans to believe that Yi will be the heart of the Trail Blazers' team.

The first Chinese opponent of the supersonic team was the Pioneer where Space Easy is located.

Judging from the pre-season, McMillan was right, easy to play 28 minutes and take 15 shots.

That's a lot of shots for the inside.

But Yi's hidden dangers have been highlighted, to put it simply, there are not many offensive skills under the basket, lack of changes, and you can use your body to eat hard in CBA, but in the NBA, there are too many macho men, so you love to eat hats. But Yi is smart, the inside line is not easy to play, he can play the outside line, this is another problem, Yi's outside shooting rate is not ideal.

The practice-based supersonic came out of a 12-man rotation and narrowly beat the Trail Blazers by 3 points.

"He's going to be outstanding." Yu Fei responded to the Chinese media's questions about Yi's performance, "I just need to carefully hone my skills." ”

After that, it's the old rival Rocket.

As long as you come to China to play the preseason, the rocket is basically the standard.

I haven't seen Yao Shu for a long time, Yu Fei still misses him, but I didn't expect that this guy hasn't seen him for a few months, and his physique is obviously thicker.

"Book that!" Yu Fei greeted in a friendly manner, "Why are you so fat?" ”

Yao Shu snorted, "This is to become stronger." ”

"Strong is strong, can the body stand it?" Yu Fei seemed to see Yao Shu's future, "The season is very long. ”

Yao Shu said optimistically: "As long as you control the playing time, there will be no problem." ”

The scary thing is that such a weight may far exceed the load of the body, so no matter how much you control the playing time, the injury will still be injured.

Yu Fei believes that Yao Shu knows this truth.

Although his lower limbs are thick, he has old injuries left over from his youth team days, and his athletic career will be significantly shortened if he repeats them. These truths, the doctor knows better than Yu Fei, Yao Shu must have received a lot of advice, but he still chose to gain weight, just to give it a try.

Everyone has a fluke mentality.

In that night's game, Yao Shu really showed great power, and the inside line was unbeatable, and Kwame Brown was as weak as a dwarf behind him.

Since this is a preseason, Karl did not offer the classic Yao breaking package (around the front + bag clip), and let Yao Shu wreak havoc under the basket.

Maddie is also in excellent condition, on the supersonic side, in addition to Yu Fei playing for 30 minutes, competing with Maddie throughout the whole process, and scoring 30 points each, he is still mainly looking at players.

China was arguably the Rockets' second home court, and they eventually won the game by six points against the SuperSonics.

But pre-season is irrelevant, no one cares about the outcome of either team, and the most important thing is whether the fans are satisfied or not. There is no doubt that both teams have feasted the eyes of fans, Yao Shu dominates the inside line, Maddie and Yu Fei face off against Biao, which is worth the ticket price.

After China, the SuperSonics returned to the United States to play two more preseason games before focusing on the upcoming 2007-08 regular season.

In the first game of the new season, the league thoughtfully arranged for the SuperSonics to go to Milwaukee to play the opening game.

Yu Fei will take home his fourth championship ring in the first race of the new season.

It was also his first return to Milwaukee since his move to Seattle.

30 October 2007

The Bradley Center is crowded with people both inside and outside.

Wherever Yu Fei went, someone shouted his name, but no one blamed him for leaving.

He's gone, but he's still a hero here.

Perhaps it was the emotional overload of the reunion after a long absence, Yu Fei felt that he was more popular than before leaving.

Carl explained this phenomenon.

"People start to love you after you lose. They still don't know what they've lost. ”

That night, when the supersonic bus arrived outside the Bradley Center, thousands of fans gathered around the neighborhood and chanted Yu Fei's name.

"Can you believe it? It's the first time in the last five years that I've noticed that there are so many basketball fans in Milwaukee. Yu Fei said calmly, "I hope it all is worth it." ”

Back at home, the flag above the arena silently tells the story of what happened here.

One by one, the old teammates stepped forward to greet them.

Before the start of the game, when the DJ broadcasts the names of the players on both sides, he will pinch out the BGM when announcing the starting of the away team, and deliberately say their names in a bland tone.

Kwame Brown, Brandon Roy, Kevin Durant, Rashad Lewis.

There is no one to cheer about.

But before the last name sounded, an epic soundtrack sounded on the scene.

"Finally, number 44!"

The light fell on Yu Fei's body, and the cheers of the scene began to sound.

"Striker!"

The DJ's voice was indistinguishable, and the scene was too noisy.

"From Kent Merridian High School!"

"Frye ~~~~~~"

Yu Fei couldn't hear any sound anymore, it was too warm and harsh.

There were so many feelings in his heart.

That's what he left behind, that's what he gave up, there's no going back, he has to look forward, but he wants to wait until it's all over and he can tell himself that it's worth it.
