Yu Fei met many old friends at Reebok's party.

Yao Shu complained to Fei: "Because of you, I lost 14 pounds this season." ”

When Yu Fei heard this, he was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Oh, why?" ”

Yu Fei never thought that he might be able to change Yao Shu's fate.

Because it was obvious that it was almost impossible for them to play on the same team, Yao Shu would need to gain a lot of weight if he wanted to become an unsolvable low-post beast. However, Yu Fei's appearance ended up disrupting the timeline.

In a position where even Tim Duncan is not an undisputed power forward, the small ball has poured into the league more than a decade in advance, and the resulting changes have made extreme traditional centers like Yao Shu need to change.

It was also the ripple effect brought by Yu Fei, Artest did not join the Rockets this season, and Maddy did not overdraw his career as an elite player because of playing closed last season.

The 2009 Rockets were still paired with Yao Mai, but in order to adapt to the changing times, Yao Shu not only chose to lose weight during the season, but also developed outside shooting.

This season, Yao Shu averaged 0.9 three-pointers per game and hit 0.3 shots.

There are many people within Reebok who believe that Iverson is the failed version of Yu Fei.

Iverson thought he was a lone star again, but Dumas wanted Iverson to lead by example, show his professionalism, and teach young people as a veteran.

Yu Fei said: "Your previous weight is overloaded on your body, you can't play for a few years like this, and the current transformation may allow you to have a longer career." ”

After listening to Yao Shu's explanation, Yu Fei said: "This is a good thing. ”

"Is it a good thing?" Yao Shu doesn't like to fight more and more outside.

Yao Ming is not unable to understand that losing weight means extending his career, just as he also knew before that the result of fighting with a large weight is to trade his career for instant combat power.

However, no matter how great the story is, no matter how beautiful the fairy tale, it can't match the eight-year Waterloo.

After being traded to the Nuggets by the 76ers, his lone star career ended and was replaced by a two-star dance with Anthony. But stopping in the first round for two years in a row made the Nuggets understand that putting together two scoring champions who "don't know much about defense" can't succeed.

His myth and legend reached its zenith at the 2001 Grand Final, and since then, no runner-up has been given the same aura.

But Yu Fei believes that as long as Yao Shu insists on developing three points, he will eventually become a rich man's version of Da Lopez (during the Bucks period).

This made him can't help but say: "If I had been born about ten years later, I might have become a big name." ”

As a player, he wants to be the best version of himself, so he has to gain weight even if he overdraws his career. But now, this path is no longer feasible, because the game has been changed by Yu Fei.

At least for a period after 2001, Iverson's influence on the brand was no less than that of Yu Fei today.

He was reluctant to do these things, and his tactical status declined, and he was often suspended for personal problems.

The production is not large, and the shooting percentage is only 33%, but for someone who has never tried to play on the outside since he was a child, such a change is disruptive.

Alan Iverson has realized that times are drifting away from him.

Iverson was then sent to the Pistons to replace Chauncey Billups.

Eight years ago, in 2001, he was the hero who had the courage to stand up and challenge OK, just like Napoleon in basketball.

Compared with Fei and Yao Shu's chat, another Reebok star seemed sullen.

Yu Fei knew who Yao Shu was talking about, that person was the first demon in the big man's career, and the only person he didn't defeat in the CBA.

Because Yao Shu may be the center with the best shooting touch before Downs, for a player who has a career free throw shooting rate of 88%, will anyone doubt that he can't practice three-pointers?

He had never been so disrespected.

"You know what, they want me to be a babysitter." Iverson sneered, "But I never wanted to be someone else's babysitter. ”

Yu Fei just listened.

He suddenly understood why he didn't have any impression of Iverson as a player in his previous life, because it was impossible for such a person to die well in professional basketball.

When he started to slide, the team stopped indulging him. The rebellious, rebellious mentality of his youth looks like a giant baby and a spoiled princess today when he is over 30 years old.

He will soon lose his starters, and Iverson will never accept the treatment of a substitute, so disappearing in the NBA is the only outcome.

Therefore, his departure will be like lightning, leaving no words, only the last believer crying to the world, "I am great, I don't need to say much". But can this faith support you to endure him coming to your country to circle money, but what about Sima face in the whole process? This is a problem.

At least for now, Iverson's popularity is still warm, which is why he was selected as an All-Star.

In terms of stats and strength, he is no longer an All-Star, and in the Pistons, his average data per game has plummeted to 17 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and all statistics are at the lowest point of his career.

But even so, he still got 1 million votes, second only to Wade in popularity among defenders in the East.

"The last time we went to Detroit, you didn't seem to play?"

Yu Fei mentioned it casually.

Iverson smiled: "I was banned by Dumas for complaining too much. ”

"Cool!" Yu Fei's fierce female companion said, "AI, that's why everyone likes you." ”

"Thank you." Iverson's gaze swept over the other party's bright spots, "I've never gotten used to those old office men. ”

Although Yu Fei could see Iverson's ending, he couldn't help but remind him when he thought of the other party's care for him over the years: "AI, sometimes, it's important to listen to advice. ”

(

"However, Dumas's proposal is not important." Yu Fei's female companion seems to be a Pistons fan and has a deep grudge against Dumas, "Dumas hasn't done anything good since he traded Grant Hill, he's terrible." ”

Yu Fei said lightly: "You talk too much, Kate." ”

"What is this," said Iverson, "and I complained that Dumas didn't say more than half of what she said today, and as a result, I was suspended, who am I going to talk to?" ”

Yu Fei laughed out loud.

The female companion next to him asked, "Fry, are you going to ban me?" ”

"Honey, not tonight." Yu Fei smiled, "I'm so tired today, I need to recharge." ”

That night, Yu Fei's female companion Kate Upton, who is also the ninth (next-generation) Chosen Girl selected by Reebok, successfully brought the Chosen Son's socket to her own power source, and it was a wonderful night.

During the All-Star period, trade rumors never stopped.

The Rockets could trade the increasingly loose Maddy, and the Raptors also wanted to trade Bosh who was ready to test the free market in the summer of 2009, and Wade made it clear to Riley that he would test the free market in the summer if the team's roster did not change.

In addition to this, the Suns also face the problem of trading Amare Stoudemire.

The Bully will also become a free agent this summer.

Of course, Kobe Bryant is a free agent this summer, but no one thinks he's going to leave the Lakers.

So, the ultimate question is, is James leaving Cleveland? Outside of Cleveland, this has never been an issue.

"You know, my number one goal is still to bring a championship to Cleveland." James told reporters, "It's the final thing, and I won't think about anything else until then." ”

Also on the day of the All-Star Game, the Hall of Fame announced John Stockton, David Robinson, and . Michael Jordan was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

In the opening show of the All-Star Game that night, the Eastern Star Spicy Dance led by O'Neal made a good start to the game, but when it came to the game, it was obvious that the West was eager to win.

The main thing is that Kobe Bryant is back.

In last year's All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant only played a minute due to a finger injury, and no one led the rhythm at all, and now, the league's favorite person to go crazy in this kind of inconsequential game has brought his rhythm again.

Then Yu Fei went to find James.

"LeBron, you haven't won any MVP today, do you really not want to fight for AMVP?"

Yu Fei said this, and then hit James with his back, and after the opponent was out of breath, he hit a retreat and turned over and hit a jumper.

James got angry, and he started throwing in like Kobe.

But it's a pity that everyone on the Eastern Stars team is just here to play, and James playing seriously alone has no impact on the overall situation.

In the end, the Western Stars defeated the Eastern Stars 145-113.

Post-match interview

Last year's AMVP Yao Shu made 6 three-pointers in this game with great humor and only hit one shot.

In this case, instead of blaming himself, he chose a more program-like dump: "It's obviously Frye's problem, he deliberately passed me uncomfortable balls for AMVP, it's all his fault, really." ”

But in the end, it was Kobe Bryant who picked up the AMVP.

"I'm going to give it my all in any game." Bryant told the media, "I don't care what the nature of the game is. ”

When Kobe Bryant was in the limelight, O'Neal was always questioned.

In this regard, O'Neill proudly said: "I don't care about AMVP, since I was a child, I have won all the honors. ”

James did not forget to save himself.

"I had 30 points and 10 rebounds, but I was laughed at by my teammates because I tried my best in this kind of game." James said, "They're right, I'm a fool." ”

All-Star rookie Kevin Durant was a potential all-time player in the West, scoring 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting despite only playing 10 minutes.

"I don't understand why anyone thinks the All-Star Game isn't important." Nike convinces Durant that he's the only good guy in the NBA and that a good guy should say the right thing on such occasions. 'For the fans, they don't want to be disappointed and I won't let them down, that's my responsibility.'

Roy emulated Yao: "I'm a little annoyed, Frye won't pass the ball to me. ”

In the end, Yu Fei, who scored 24 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists but missed the AMVP, came to the media interview room.

There are hundreds of media outlets here, not only in the United States, but also from all over the world.

A Chinese media outlet was spotted by Yu Fei.

They cautiously asked the formula question, "This is your eighth All-Star Game, how does it feel?" ”

With a smile, Yu Fei deliberately replied in Chinese: "It's like eating eight meals of BJ roast duck in a row, it's a little greasy, but it's still delicious." ”

There was not only one Chinese media at the scene, but other Chinese reporters couldn't help but sigh that there was a reason why this person was popular in Asia.

"O'Neill said he grew up winning all the divisions, what do you think about that?"

The media from New York asked provocatively.

Yu Fei smiled: "Before he hugged Kobe's thigh, he did have reason to be proud of the championship ring he won before the age of 10." ”

Lots and lots of questions, some boring, some sharp, and finally, the reporter from Seattle asked the ultimate question tonight: "Michael Jordan will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame this year, do you have anything to say?" ”

There is an opinion that the most important factor why the topic of 44vs23 has become a social issue beyond basketball itself is not because Jordan retired not long ago, but because the grudge between Jordan and Yu Fei is fascinating.

The two wished that each other's enemies had died on the spot, and they had become contenders for the throne again.

How long has it been since there has been such a feud?

The Seattle reporter's question caused the air pressure at the scene to plummet.

Everyone was looking forward to Yu Fei's answer.

"I would have liked to wait until he died." The scene was so quiet that he couldn't even hear the sound of breathing, which made Yu Fei's words sound as clear as the sound of a cannonball, "Since you asked, it's okay to say it now." ”

"Congratulations."
