After the day's training, Marion went to Karl to find out what Yu Fei thought of him.

When Carl heard this, he looked at him with some puzzlement: "Is this important?" ”

"The SuperSonics are his team and that's important to me." Marion said.

Karl hadn't had a deep deal with Marion before, but his style of play was something he admired, and now that he suddenly asked such a question, it was hard not to wonder if he had something else on his mind.

"All I know is that Frye has an opinion about Smush." Carr said.

It should be said, who doesn't have an opinion of Smash?

"Does Frye support the deal?" Marion began to have a bad premonition, "I heard that Rashad was left for him, and now you have replaced me with Rashad, does he have a problem with me?" ”

It's a strange thing to watch a strong man who looks like an alien talk about whether another person has an opinion about him or not.

Karl didn't think Yu Fei had any problem with Marion.

If he had an opinion, the deal wouldn't have happened.

"You should know that if Frye doesn't want you to come, you won't come." Carl said, "What the hell are you worried about, Sean?" ”

Marion grimaced: "I'm a top 10 player in the league. ”

Not necessarily, right?

Carl nodded, "I agree." ”

"But I was traded twice in a month,"

So you're definitely not in the top 10 in the league, needless to say?

Carl nodded, "Rest assured, the trade deadline has passed." ”

Meaning, Marion certainly won't be traded three times this season.

"I want to settle down, I don't want me to be a bet on you, let's say, if we lose this season and the SuperSonics are moved, you're going to scapegoat me and trade me to a bad team, and I'm not going to let that happen."

It's as if if you can resist if this happens.

Karl pretended to be concerned about Marion and said without question: "The SuperSonics won't move, Frye has no problem with you, you won't go anywhere unless you openly say you're going to be traded like you did in Phoenix, otherwise, we won't let you go." You know, there's no way we're going to use you to get another top-10 player in the league. ”

Carl reassures Marion a little.

A day later, the SuperSonics played at home against the Spurs, who are first in the West.

As it turned out, Marion was overwhelmed.

Yu Fei didn't communicate with him during training, just because they weren't familiar with him.

Yu Fei himself is not the kind of person who knows himself, but once he comes to the game and Marion's role is performing, he naturally knows that they are right to trade Lewis for Marion.

Lewis' greatest value is his outside shooting, and he's the league's No. 1 Space Four.

But there is no shortage of space for supersounds, what they lack is an all-rounder who can fill any position.

Marion proved in the game that he is the man the superSonics need.

His co-defense is perfect, his ability to fill positions and switch defenses is impeccable, his rebounding awareness is outstanding, and the first time he teamed up with Yu Fei and Roy, he showed a quick subconscious to practice next to Nash.

The supersonic three-line fast offensive suddenly became the most threatening rotational offensive in the league.

Ren Spurs have a lot of strong players, but they also had a sleepless night in Seattle.

They don't feel good and hit the iron frequently, giving the SuperSonics plenty of opportunities to defend and counterattack.

Marion's supersonic debut was perfect, as he brought everything Lewis couldn't offer with 18 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals.

"Welcome Neo to Seattle!"

Marion got a new nickname for the night.

The nickname, uttered by Bob Black, the superSonics' home announcer, is more recognizable than the nickname Marion got with the Suns, "The Matrix." The name hacker is derived from The Matrix, and Neo is the protagonist of The Matrix.

The SuperSonics beat the Spurs by 20 points at home.

Yu Fei has not forgotten what Caron Butler said last time he won at home.

"I think as a core player, if you're 4 out of 14, then of course your team is going to lose." Yu Fei retorted, "Caron in March is much easier to deal with than Caron in February. ”

The regular season is on the fast track.

SuperSonics must not only maintain the top four rankings, but also strive for the top and try to rank as high as possible.

After the win over the Spurs, the difference between wins in the top four in the West is only 1-2 games.

In other words, losing a game has a big impact on the rankings.

Marion's integration is faster than might be expected inside the supersonic speed.

Although he doesn't have any friends here, the best thing SuperSonics can do is keep him playing in the Suns.

For Marion, it's as if he hasn't left the Suns.

He's still doing what he did before, but he's getting more attention than ever.

When Marion topped the top 10 for catching Yu Fei's long-distance midfield pass and completing an empty catch, he suddenly became hot, like a superstar.

This is something Marion did not expect.

In mid-March, when the SuperSonics played against the Suns, Yu Fei chased Marion to feed the cake, allowing him to score 30 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks.

'Neo, I'd be surprised if you didn't make the team this year.

Yu Fei said to Marion.

"I'm used to being ignored." Marion looked relieved.

But is he really used to it? Look at the face he showed when he was courted by the media in Seattle.

With the exception of Duncan, the vast majority of human beings do not refuse to be in the spotlight and praise.

Marion's hanging heart was completely let go.

He thought that coming to Seattle was just to continue to be a foil to the supergiant, because Yu Fei's starlight was far better than Nash's.

But he didn't know that there was a difference between supergiants.

Those at the top have the magic to bring the people around them into focus.

In late March, the SuperSonics went on a winning streak and topped the West with a 48-21 record.

Behind them are the 47-win Lakers vs. Spurs, the 46-win Mavericks, the 45-win Hornets and the 44-win Rockets (Yao Shu reimbursed for the season).

The competition for the top of the West is rarely fierce in recent years, but the ascent of supersonic speed is symbolic.

At the same time last season, the SuperSonics were competing with the Trail Blazers for the chief and deputy squad leaders, and now, the Trail Blazers are still the squad leader, but the SuperSonics are the leader in the West.

Sports Illustrated writer Jack McCallum, who was licensed to accompany Yu Fei for his autobiography, published a lengthy article in late March.

It just so happened that Yu Fei also became the cover character of this issue of the pictorial.

McCallum's headline is eye-catching: "Frye So Players from Another Planet."

The purpose of this article, in addition to celebrating Yu Fei's achievements so far this season, is to sound the clarion call for the MVP race.

At present, Yu Fei is averaging 31 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game, bringing the SuperSonics, who ranked second to last in the West last season, to the first place, which is unmatched in terms of personal bonuses.

Kobe Bryant has Kidd by his side, so the rise of the Lakers is not so incomprehensible, and the people around Yu Fei who did nothing last season are now growing up to be the leaders of the West next to him.

What kind of great leadership is this?

But the problem with Yu Fei is that he has won the MVP three times before, which makes the outside world's standard for him much higher than those MVP virgins.

Kobe Bryant is the new favorite of the media, and Paul, who led the rise of the Hornets, is also a famous talking point.

This season's MVP simulation predicts that the top three regulars are all in the West.

But Paul is too junior compared to Fei and Kobe, and for those who have the right to vote, he will have a chance in the future, so the suspense of MVP has come between Yu Fei and Kobe.

As it happens, both teams that fought for the first place in the West have strengthened their efforts after All-Star Weekend, and they will meet for the last regular-season meeting at the end of March.

"I'll focus on this game, and when I vote, I'll remember the result of this game, which will determine my choice," said a number of media people with voting rights. ”

Yu Fei vaguely remembered that Kobe's only MVP was in 2008, but unfortunately, as Komi, he would not give up this year's MVP.

MVP, this thing produces one every year, and for a person in his coffee position, it's almost the same if he gets 3-4, and if there are more, it will overflow. But the SuperSonics need him to get the MVP.

Because hypersound requires attention.

Although they have achieved unprecedented attention, it is still not enough.

Yu Fei needs the event of "Save Our HyperSound" to become a phenomenon that breaks through the sports world, which requires him to make achievements. Not only the team's results, but also the individual results, only when both results are full, the media will try to blow the wind to the outside world.

Therefore, he must grab this MVP.

The flame of competition is burning, and that's how it should feel after All-Star Weekend.

People can feel the ups and downs in the professional basketball world, and the competition between Yu Fei and Kobe Bryant has officially become a topic worthy of serious discussion in the former's seventh year of professional basketball.

The SuperSonics have won their first few meetings with the Lakers, but they haven't played the reinforced Lakers yet.

The contest for the MVP rankings has captured national attention.

There are still a few days before the game, the media hype, the fans' scolding, the two factions' bickering, all the tricks have been played.

As the center of the storm, Yu Fei took his henchmen and McCallum to North Carolina to watch a college game.

It was March Madness in the NCAA, and it was Davidson College vs. Gonzaga University.

Yu Fei's appearance made the scene boil.

All the players from both sides came over to say hello, but Yu Fei was only interested in one of them.

Stephen Curry, who looks like a high school student, never thought that Frye Yu would come out of his way to watch his game, and for him, he was an unattainable man.

But now, he's close at hand.

"Fry, this. It is our pleasure. ”

"Stephen, I'm here for you." Yu Fei smiled, "Don't let me down. ”

Now, Yu Fei has finally come to this position. He can judge all the youngsters as he wants, just like Kobe Bryant at ABCD training camp in the first place, and everyone craves his praise.

TONIGHT, YU FEI'S PREGAME BUFF MADE CURRY COMPLETELY RAMPAGE, BLASTING GONZAGA FOR 44 POINTS.

At least at the NCAA level, he's exactly what he has been since 2015 that has caused technological change in the world of professional basketball.

"This kid is going to be special."

When Yu Fei commented on Curry like this, no one felt disagreeable.

It's an honor for Curry, and his fame with his amazing sophomore season will skyrocket to new heights.

This kind of Yu Fei gave Curry an illusion of unreality.

The rumors are false, and Frye is a good man.

He definitely is.

This is the first stop on Curry's dream journey with Davidson in March Madness, and Yu Fei has already felt his magic with his own eyes, and now, he is leaving.

Because there is another battle waiting for him.
