When pride still matters

Chapter 43 The impact of those two punches was great

The fight between Yu Fei and Eddie Griffin began to unfold.

Arne Trim could clearly feel that there was a force behind him pushing this matter to develop in a direction that was unfavorable to Fei.

Then, Yu Fei said something interesting. The Celtics promised to select him with the tenth pick.

"Lot ten?"

Trem frowned slightly.

"What do you think?" Trim asked.

Yu Fei said: "I think it's a little low."

"Indeed," Trem said. "After several trials, your reputation has been greatly strengthened compared to before. In the recent draft predictions of several mainstream newspapers, several have ranked you in the top seven."

This should be a good thing, but after the fight with Griffin, the subsequent impact needs to be observed.

But just because the Celtics dared to commit to the No. [-] pick with a proud face, Traim could conclude that the hype behind the fight was aided by people from the Green Army.

"Is the mock draft accurate?" Yu Fei didn't really believe this. "Should I go to Memphis as usual the day after tomorrow?"

"Memphis? No, the trial training in Memphis has been cancelled." Trem said, "You go back to Seattle to prepare. Then I will arrange an exclusive interview for you. You can talk about the fight with Eddie Griffin. .”

"What's the answer from Boston?"

Trem became more and more certain that someone from the Celtics was behind this big deal, so he really didn't want Yu Fei to go to Boston.

"I'll answer them. You don't have to take this to heart. I'm 90% sure that you won't go to the Celtics. You will definitely not be selected with the No. [-] pick."

"Of course, you can view their commitment as a guarantee - you're at least a No. [-] pick in this draft."

Yu Fei hung up the phone and Dimeo asked, "What did Arn say?"

"The trial training in Memphis has been cancelled. I will go back to Seattle to rest first," Yu Fei said.

DiMeo was not surprised to receive this news. He was concerned about the media reports, "Do you think the Celtics have anything to do with this?"

"If they don't want to pay the price to get a higher pick and want to select me in the draft, lowering my draft prospects is the best way." Yu Fei said frankly, "Long live understanding."

Dimeo really doesn't know now whether Yu Fei's mind is open or narrow.

However, he just needs to be open-minded.

Just when Yu Fei and the others returned to Seattle, Brandon Roy also made a decision.

He's giving up on his plans to turn pro now.

After a trial training in Boston, he saw the gap between himself and prospective NBA players. If he did not improve himself in a stable environment, not only would he not be able to play in the NBA, but his overseas career prospects would be bleak.

If one day he can't even play in a professional league in a small Asian country, then his life will be over.

Therefore, Roy fired his agent, thanked Yu Fei on the phone, and then returned home, preparing to find a community college to stabilize first.

Yu Fei finally felt at ease, and Roy finally returned to his original track.

It can be fun to make a difference in someone else's life, but if you can't be responsible, it's better to stay the same.

Yu Fei originally planned to go home, but Trime had made very thoughtful arrangements, including five-star hotels, nutritionists, training teams and professional sparring partners.

It was a very easy decision to stay here while training and waiting for Trem's arrangements.

Then, Yu Fei realized that these were not specially prepared for him. Strictly speaking, he benefited from them.

Whose credit is it?

The light of Kwame Brown, the quasi-number one pick who is known as the contemporary Little Weber.

Since the lottery draw ended, trials for NBA teams have begun, but Kwame has not had a trial so far.

This is Trem's strategy.

Brown will only try out for the Wizards, which not only maintains a sense of mystery, but also indirectly shows his absolute confidence in being selected as the No. [-] pick.

Brown has been training here for some time. As long as the Wizards' trial training begins, he will be able to go to Goute with full energy and defeat all those who try to compete with him for the No. [-] pick.

On Yu Fei's first day of training, Brown came to him specifically.

Yu Fei has always known about this famous parallel import champion in the new century, but he doesn't know what he looks like.

This is not difficult to understand, just like you know that it is a piece of shit even if you don't watch "Super Family". The so-called "if you haven't watched it, you have no right to speak" is invalid in the face of shit.Shit is shit. Those who ordered this shit have already tasted it for you. If you don’t believe it and insist on trying it, it is a betrayal of those warriors who dare to taste shit.In the same way, the same is true for the parallel import number one pick. Yu Fei doesn't need to know what he looks like, he only needs to know that he is good and he is the one who started the career of the dog special draft genius.

"Are you the one who beat up Eddie Griffin?" Brown looked at Yu Fei carefully.

"Just a few random punches, not a violent beating."

What is a beating?Like the innocent nurse in "Detective Chinatown 3" who covered her head and was beaten in a group, she was beaten violently.

Just those two punches he gave Griffin?Just sprinkle water.

"Well done, those few punches of yours destroyed that bastard's prospect of being the number one pick. This coward has no right to be the number one pick!" Brown patted Yu Fei like a boss, "Just those few punches at you, I will enter later. Alliance, I’ll cover you!”

Yu Feipi, who predicted Kwame Brown's career in advance, said with a smile: "Thank you, I am very grateful."

The premise is that you can survive the whip of the dog, and then take a breather from the contempt of the deputy dog ​​in the shooting guard world, and then talk about covering up for me.

After Yu Fei had a day of high-quality training, Arne Trim also came to Seattle.

Treme is definitely the busiest agent in the sports world in recent times.

He has more than a dozen rookies who are about to participate in the draft. He needs to help them escort them and practice trial training. A favorite like Brown, who is the No. [-] pick, also needs to equip him with a complete set of training mechanisms.

Now, Treme can take a breather. Except for Kwame Brown and Yu Fei, the expected draft picks of his rookies are basically determined.

When Trem came this time, in addition to arranging a trial training session between Brown and the Wizards, he also found a media outlet to conduct an exclusive interview with Yu Fei.

This was in response to the controversy surrounding the fight in Boston.

The opponent is quite famous, he is Phil Taylor from Sports Illustrated. As a loyal reader of Sports Illustrated, Yu Fei naturally knows this name.

"Why not Gary Smith? He is my friend." Yu Fei asked.

Trem smiled bitterly and said: "Gary is the chief writer of Illustrated. He will not do such a thing for you. Believe me, Phil is the most suitable candidate."

After the interview started, Taylor used a few jokes to ease Yu Fei into the interview state.

Yu Fei is more talkative than Taylor imagined.

At the same time, it’s also very funny.

When Taylor asked Yu Fei "at which pick would you be satisfied?" Yu Fei replied seriously: "I would be very surprised if I am not the first pick."

Taylor asked with a smile: "What if you 'accidentally' fell to No. [-]?"

"I promise I'll be as angry as I was when I fought Eddie Griffin."

Taylor didn't expect that Yu Fei couldn't hold himself back before he got to the point.

Then, he could only continue to ask: "As far as I know, you have never had a record of fighting with others on the court before."

"If high school basketball needs a gentle, three-good player, it's me. I don't talk trash, I don't disrespect my opponents, and I don't fight."

Taylor asked: "What made you give up being a three-good player and take action against Eddie?"

"I want to make it clear that I was not the one who made the move first." Yu Fei told the truth, which was probably the only truth he told in the process of reliving that scene. "It was he who made the move to me first, because I was in front of everyone." The human screen gave him a hard block, maybe because he felt embarrassed, he punched me directly after the block. If I hadn't dodged it in time, I probably wouldn't have been able to sit here and defend myself."

Can I trust this boy?

Taylor looked at Yu Fei. His eyes were sincere and his tone was sincere, without seeming to be hypocritical. Judging from his reputation, Eddie Griffin was indeed more like a person who liked to resort to violence to express his inner dissatisfaction.

Therefore, Taylor felt that he could trust Yu Fei.

"Then?"

Yu Fei said: "I punched him back twice, and then we were pulled apart."

"Eddie said that someone hugged him from behind at your instigation."

Yu Fei thought of Roy's arrogance at that time and couldn't help but smile, "There was indeed a kind person who did this at that time, but he just wanted to stop Eddie from continuing to attack me. In the end, he failed. Eddie claimed that he wanted to kill me, and I The two punches were more of self-defense than a response."

When asked here, the prototype of an interview was written out of an attempt to whitewash the situation, but the main points came from the person involved and had nothing to do with Taylor.

Finally, Taylor asked: "Given another chance, can you find a better solution than taking action?"

"Why should I?" Yu Fei smiled like a devil, "The impact of those two punches was great."

PS: Recently, I always like to compare Jordan's comeback in the Wizards with UZI's comeback in EDG. Do you think this is offensive to Danzi?
