Chapter 438: Certificate of Maturity

The SuperSonics were willing to let Yu Fei and Kwame Brown, who participated in the Olympics, report to training camp a few days later, knowing that the two needed more time to rest.

But Yu Fei thought that he had rested enough, so he came to the Futado Center on the day of the training camp.

Since Yu Fei is here, Brown naturally has no reason to take a holiday.

Unlike last year, this year's superSonics have several more experienced veterans.

Ever since Yu Fei was traded by the Wizards, Tyronn Lue has laughed at Jordan in his heart whenever he sees the former.

GOAT, look at the good things you do.

Yu Fei could have made the Wizards the top power of the NBA what Tom Brady did for the Patriots.

But the Wizards chose the latter between Future and Cash.

In the end, although he got some money, Yu Fei proved that the profit he could bring was dozens of times that of that money.

Coach Lue spent years in the NBA and played for many different coaches, which made him feel like he could be a coach after retiring like Doug Rivers.

Knowing his idea, Yu Fei actively invited him to come to the supersound.

Lu Gui worked for Zen masters in his early years, but he really couldn't understand the other party's Zen philosophy.

In contrast, Rivers's cramming chicken soup is more learned.

But just pouring chicken soup can't last long, so Coach Lu really wanted to learn under an experienced champion coach.

Yu Fei's invitation hit it off with Director Lu.

After Director Lu came, many people asked him about Yu Feizai's deeds.

Because he is the only two players on the team who have been teammates with Rookie Fly.

Kwame Brown looks too pompous, running the train with his mouth full of not talking, blowing big flying and blowing himself with private goods, so everyone doesn't believe what he says.

"So, what do you want to know?" Director Lu asked.

Roy asked curiously, "Does Frye really clash with MJ so often?" ”

At this time, Yu Fei's bullying sound was heard in the distance.

"KD, what have you been doing this summer, why haven't you grown at all?"

Saying that, Yu Fei knocked down Durant during the breakthrough and burst into the basket for a dunk.

"Greg Oden is coming back, do you want to make people think you're a parallel trader?" Yu Fei asked domineeringly.

After a season of training, Durant has mastered the way to communicate with Yu Fei.

His expression was serious, and he clearly pointed out: "The breakthrough you just made was a foul." ”

"So what?" Yu Fei sneered, "No referee in this world will blow this whistle, do you know why?" ”

Of course Durant knew, but he pretended not to.

"Because I'm a superstar and you're just a budding rookie!" Yu Fei said bluntly, "You don't even have the qualifications to foul!" ”

At this time, Lu said to Roy, "If Da Fei is in KD's position, he will deliberately knock Frye down in the next round." ”

But Durant just used his height to change direction in a row and responded with a jumper.

This string of moves proves that Durant didn't waste his time in the summer.

His offense with the ball has clearly intensified.

"It's a pity that Frye met 40-year-old MJ, otherwise it might have been another story." Roy doesn't believe that Durant is a soft egg, but he still lacks understanding of Yu Fei back then, because he has never faced Yu Fei in that state.

"Maybe."

Director Lu also thought that Jordan couldn't stop flying because he was old.

But seven years later, he gradually felt that it had nothing to do with age, that two similar people, two identical personalities, two steely self-consciousnesses were incompatible.

No matter what age Jordan and rookie Yu Fei meet, they will be incompatible.

But this conjecture is destined to be unverifiable.

In the first training game of the day, Karl specially arranged for new signing Matt Barnes to be paired with Durant.

And, Carl said to Barnes: "We need you to put enough pressure on KD, and if you can't, you're worthless to us, and we're going to send you to the Clippers." ”

Yu Fei is as famous for his contempt for the Clippers as he is for liking women older and with a strong body than him.

"Was it Frye's idea?" Barnes asked.

Carl laughed, "You can understand whatever you want." ”

Over the past seven seasons, Barnes has changed six teams. He was part of the "We Believe" Warriors team that nailed Nowitzki and the Mavericks to the shame column in 2007. It was a pivotal year for him as he managed to go from a homeless NBA homeless man to a needed piece of the puzzle with the Warriors.

Last season, he was with the Celtics, and this season, he is with the SuperSonics.

The difference is that before he was looking for the team, now the team is looking for him.

It's the difference between an NBA player and a tramp who could be eliminated from the NBA at any moment.

Since Yu Fei needs him to create problems for Durant, he will do it, because this is his job.

Barnes' Bole Don Nelson has said that there is no word to describe what he means on the pitch, and he has the ability to make people uncomfortable, a special ability that can dig deep into the skin of opponents.

However, in last season's finals, Barnes couldn't do anything about flying.

Yu Fei used his fierce hard power to show that in the face of absolute ability, all tricks are meaningless.

But with Durant, it worked very well.

Durant complained about Barnes' defense several times before getting angry and trying to shoot the opponent's head.

Unmoved, Barnes constantly pressured Durant to shoot in uncomfortable positions until the end, completely disrupting the opponent's rhythm.

Durant played a very stinky game.

He shot 5-of-19 from the field and his team was easily defeated.

"He's a piece of pure puzzle." Carl told the teaching assistants around him, "It's valuable but not going to be a key piece of the puzzle, and you can see how much he's enjoying the role." ”

Another veteran in the trailer, Michael Finley, missed the first week of training camp due to injury.

However, after he saw the confrontation between Yu Fei and Roy, he felt that he had come to the right place.

On the day of the press day, Finley told ESPN's Mark Stein, "We have the best player in the league and the second-best shooting guard in the West, as well as the best young player in the league and the best roster depth in the league, and I feel like we can defend the title this year." ”

The tidbit of this interview is that Brown suddenly enters the middle and interjects, "Michael, are you missing something?" ”

"Yes." Finley is not a joker, and he said in a serious tone, "We still have the league's No. 1 center. ”

Brown corrected: "It's the league's No. 1 interior lineman. Including all the four and five positions. ”

"That's right." Finley had no objections.

George Carr spoke to the AP reporter about the style of the new supersonic season.

"Stop talking about small balls or big balls, you don't understand at all." "If you want to play big, we can win the championship as well, and if you want to play small, there is no team against us. ”

For the rookie, hard times are yet to come.

DeAndre Jordan and Anthony Morrow have been harassed by veterans just like the rookies of other teams.

Jordan Jr.'s days were particularly torturous.

Brown didn't like him.

How could he possibly like it? The team chose a center who surpassed him in height, reach, physicality, athleticism, and palm size.

After seeing Jordan Jr.'s physical talent in practice, Brown really didn't know how this kind of person was selected by the team.

Could it be that Bill Simmons is right? 90% of the NBA's GMs are idiots?

Still, while Jordan Jr.'s physical gifts can crush Brown, he's pretty primitive in every aspect as a basketball player.

Therefore, it is impossible to get on top in the short term.

In the name of discipline, Brown asked Jordan Jr. to do chores for himself all day.

When Yu Fei heard that Little Jordan was even responsible for washing Brown's underwear, he couldn't help but say, "You were possessed by Christian (Lightner)?" ”

"Da Fei, that rookie doesn't understand anything, I heard that he didn't have a good relationship with the coaching staff and teammates when he was in college, and I have to let him learn to obey and respect." Brown has a point.

Little Jordan directly chimed in: "That's right, I have a lot to learn. ”

Since one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, Yu Fei feels that he has nothing to say.

Another rookie, Anthony Morrow, accepts the difficulties of veterans such as Barnes, and although he smiles at everyone, he has a fierce look on his face, giving people a feeling that he is not easy to provoke.

All media people who visited the hypersonic training camp pointed out two things.

As long as Yu Fei stays healthy and Durant continues to improve, the SuperSonics' two-game winning streak looks like a tangible goal.

Because, Yu Fei, who is not yet 27 years old, is still on the rise, and the superSonics have not been weakened after winning the championship last season, but have greatly strengthened the depth of the squad.

The only problem is Sean Marion's contract, and not so long ago, SuperSonic's general manager Sam Presti announced a suspension of negotiations, which could dampen Marion's enthusiasm.

However, Kevin Durant, the famous sunshine boy of the supersonics, is very optimistic.

"It's not a problem, it's definitely not going to be a problem." Durant said, "We're all following Frye's lead. He's a great player and we're aiming for the defending champions. Maybe Sean will be a little unhappy, but he can definitely put aside his personal prejudices for the sake of the championship. We're a mature team, including me, and I can't wait to start playing. I've become more mature. ”

At the end of the media day, there was an interview with Matt Stein, Yu Fei's mouthpiece on ESPN.

Stein paraphrased Durant's "I'm mature" remark.

Yu Fei smiled contemptuously, just like hearing a child say, "I've grown up."

"He's only 20 years old, and he doesn't understand what maturity means." Yu Fei said lightly, "His world is different from ours. I mean, he lives with praise and expectation, it's not the real world. I really appreciate Kevin's passion for basketball, and yes, he only had basketball in his life. As far as I know, he doesn't even have a stable girlfriend. ”

Stein couldn't help but ask, "Is this a problem?" ”

"Of course." Yu Fei smiled, "When a man wants to talk about maturity, he must get a certificate from a woman, otherwise everything is just self-righteous fantasy." ”
