After entering the New Year, the supersonic record is far ahead, and in the all-star voting, Yu Fei booked the vote king with a million-level advantage. In addition to Yu Fei, Roy and Durant have also won the favor of fans.

According to ESPN's projections, the SuperSonics are likely to be selected as three All-Stars this season.

In the SuperSonics area, Clay Bennett claimed that there are many investors in the new supersonic arena, and if it were not for the NBA's stipulation that the construction of the new arena must be supported by the local government, the money could be scraped together by social financing alone.

Compared to before the fly, the local influence of supersound in Seattle has risen dramatically.

The Seahawks and Mariners in the same city felt it the most.

In previous years' financial reports, supersonic was often the last to report, and always lost money. But now, just two months into the NBA's new season, the SuperSonics are hastily announcing that their revenue so far has paid off.

That is, from today, every penny of supersonic earnings is profit.

Bill Tinsley, a doctor of economics in Seattle, said: "SuperSonics are Seattle's biggest bull stock, and their economic benefits are increasing day by day. According to statistics, the economic benefits directly or indirectly triggered by Seattle will bring 300 million to 500 million US dollars of economic effects to the city. ”

That's a staggering number for a franchise that can make a profit with $70 million a year.

The huge economic effect will eventually return to the original problem.

"The economic miracle of the SuperSonics was created at the Key Arena. From an economic point of view, the Key Arena is limiting the potential of the supersonic team. In terms of the long-term development of the city, the planning of the new arena cannot be delayed. ”

Seattle Mayor Greg Nichols' attitude has shifted from initial ambiguity to the side of the SuperSonics: "The SuperSonics have proven their cultural and economic value to Seattle, and as long as they meet the bill, I will vote yes [for the financing plan for the new arena]." ”

Political correctness and economic recovery are the knock-on effects of SuperSonics' championship last season.

It looks like everything is going in a good direction.

But with the right time and place, there is still a force within Seattle that is blocking the agenda.

MCCAIT: MakeCitizensCareAboutImportantThings is Seattle's largest civil rights organization. Their aim is to get the government to devote its energies and financial resources to what matters most to its citizens through active advocacy and social activism.

For them, helping the supersonic in the construction of a new arena is not an urgent matter.

When SuperSonics lost money year after year, they thought that since the team didn't make money, they shouldn't spend taxpayers' money to build them new stadiums, and the team owners were billionaires, so why use taxpayers' money to make this group of rich people richer? Now that hypersound is starting to make money, the logic of their behavior has become, since supersound is starting to make money, and there is social support, why spend taxpayers' money again?

More than half of Seattle-goers support MCCAIT, but that doesn't mean they're all against building new arenas for the supersonics. There are bound to be divergent opinions within the organization. The problem now is that almost half a year has passed since the supersonic won the championship, the proximate effect has disappeared, and the heads of the winning honeys are no longer hot.

That's why, Stern says one championship isn't enough.

Not only do they have to prove that they have money, but they also have to keep winning.

"One thing I have to point out is that the money invested by the municipality did not go into my pocket. The municipality and other investors will become the owners of the arena. "Bennett was an active presence on local television in Seattle and talked about NBA economics." Why do I say this is a good thing for Seattle? Because we have Fry. He can have a lasting impact on Seattle in the same way that Michael Jordan impacted downtown Chicago's economy in the '90s. I can assure you that $250 million in funding will bring a five- or tenfold return in ten years. ”

Although SuperSonics will not formally submit the financing package to the city government until next June, the publicity has begun like an election canvassing.

Yu Fei is at the heart of the propaganda.

SuperSonic's slogan to the outside world is: embrace Frye, $250 million for $5 billion in the future.

Even Yu Fei himself didn't know that he could bring $5 billion in economic effects to Seattle in the future.

However, he understood Bennett's practice of painting cakes for citizens.

Because the MCCAIT organization played the card of "focusing on specific people and things", then it had to draw cakes, which is a magic hedge.

In the past two years, Yu Fei's name and image have been abused by those behind him.

The result of this is that people in this circle can hear or see his name wherever they go.

His name began to become a symbol, and media attention began to skyrocket.

Outside, Yu Fei has almost no privacy to speak of.

Kwame Brown envies the attention that is stared at by countless eyes when he goes to a random place.

Yu Fei gave him a blank look: "Being a Frye Yu for a day may be a dream come true for you, but do you want to live like this all year round?" ”

"What's so bad about that?" Brown wanted to be like that.

Yu Fei sighed, Brown couldn't understand his pain because the other party didn't experience it.

Brown absolutely couldn't understand it. Not long ago, when Yu Fei and his rumored girlfriend Rachel Lefebvre attended the event of "Twilight", it was only because the paparazzi took pictures of him talking to Twilight Girl Kristen Stewart that he did not have anything with Christine.

(

And such gossip has one on him almost every few days.

Media outlets from different industries are beginning to take an interest in him and want to explore his secrets and dark side.

For them, it's fun to make gods, but it's also fun to break the idols.

Yu Fei's ascension to the throne has just reached the position of Jordan after 1996, but the scrutiny he encountered was that of Jordan in 1993.

For the media, he still lacks a big scandal to polish his image - they don't believe that there are perfect people, as long as they are individuals, they have shortcomings. Jordan is addicted to gambling, Woods is addicted to beauty, Tyson has too many problems to talk about, Magic is infected with HIV, and Bird doesn't talk about people. Starting with Babe Ruth, the god of baseball, to Joe Namath, the first superstar in modern sports history, everyone has their own shortcomings.

But what about Yu Fei's shortcomings? Arrogance, retribution, relentless pursuit of the enemy, no reverence for the predecessors. Anything else?

As an athlete, none of this is a big deal.

The media, which focused on staining the statue, said: "Frye Yu lacks a Jordan's Law-style book to expose his true colors." ”

Yu Fei can easily deal with sports reporters, and he knows everything about basketball.

But what about tabloid reporters, journalists focused on social hot spots, and entertainment journalists?

Yu Fei didn't have the energy to deal with these people.

He made a similar choice to Jordan.

He closed himself off.

Since 2009, anyone who wants to interview Yu Fei has had to make an appointment with his assistant Kevin Lin and wait for his consent.

Sports journalists who focus on basketball coverage are among those who have been injured by mistake.

Because Yu Fei wants to treat the media equally.

This has led to these basketball-focused media workers trying to write as good as possible in their reports in order to get close to flying.

It was during this period that Yu Fei ran into the forbidden area set up by Jordan for God and others.

Suddenly, a class gap began to emerge between the players and the media.

Sports journalists must be careful with Yu Fei, and they must do everything they can to avoid making mistakes.

They imagined such a scenario, once they made Yu Fei dissatisfied, they would never have a chance to get close to Yu Fei again.

Because that's what Jordan did in the first place.

In mid-January, the SuperSonics visited Chicago.

A reporter from the Chicago Reader wanted to do a short interview with Fei.

Yu Fei glanced at Kevin Lin.

Kevin Lin understood and stepped forward and said: "Frye will not be interviewed today, if you have any questions, you can wait until after the game is over." ”

"I have only one question."

The other party begged.

Kevin Lin said impatiently: "Don't let me say it a second time, you can't get any answer here in Frye now!" ”

The journalist was desperate.

It is equivalent to the disappearance of Fei and Lin Kaiwen, and the people around the reporter said dissatisfiedly: "That bastard is just a dog next to No. 44, why is he."

The rejected sports reporter said with a pale face: "He is willing to keep him with No. 44 on the basis of his will." ”

Now, the denied journalists will be fighting for a media access room permit after tonight's game.

Today is Yu Fei's first visit to Chicago this season, countless media gathered here, and the interview qualifications are basically booked by the big newspapers, for them little shrimps, there is no better opportunity to get close to Yu Fei.

That night, Yu Fei took the initiative to keep an eye on Rose.

And he has a question for Rose.

"Derek, you've got to tell me why you chose 23 between me and 23."

Whenever Yu Fei said that, he would score on Rose's head.

"There is no other reason."

"The answer is incorrect."

In the next round, Yu Fei crushed Rose with his back.

In the end, Rose played a terrible game that was memorable.

made 2 of 12 shots in the game, and Yu Fei on the opposite side almost named the ball, cutting 35 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists on his head.

Some people think that Yu Fei treated Ross too roughly, and he completely bullied the small.

When Yu Fei came to the media interview room, dozens of media and nearly 100 people gathered in a small room.

Everyone carried a fervent desire to be named.

In Yu Fei's eyes, these people all looked friendly with smiles, almost convincing him that the media at the scene were all his fans, they were all for themselves, and they would never be bad for themselves.

But Yu Fei pointed to the local media in Chicago under the fanatical gaze to ask the first question of the night.

"Fry, you scored 35 points tonight, but 24 points were scored on Drake Rose, is that a spur or a squeeze?"

Yu Fei smiled lightly: "What do you think?" ”

The other party took a deep breath, he knew that his next answer would determine whether he could ask Yu Fei questions in the future.

He knew that his peers on the scene were spineless soft eggs, and they would kneel down and lick Yu Fei's stinky feet, but he was a reporter in Chicago, and in Chicago, there was only one god.

"I don't think you're nice to Derek!"

The journalist said boldly.

"At the end of the draft, someone asked Derek who his favorite player was, and he said me first, and then he said number 23. Yu Fei replied slowly, "In the end, he said that he preferred No. 23. I thought about it, but I couldn't figure out where I was inferior to No. 23. So, in order to make him like me more, I decided to play tonight like the 23rd. ”

Yu Fei did not accentuate his tone, the expression on his face did not change, and a slight smile was still hanging on the corner of his mouth, but for everyone, the atmosphere in the room was suddenly solemn.

Because Yu Fei stared at the reporters in Chicago like a wolf, he asked in a harmonious voice: "Do you think I look like No. 23 tonight?" ”
