When pride still matters

Chapter 44 Hehe, you better know how
When Arne Trim learned Yu Fei's final comments about those two punches, he was a little dumbfounded.

"Fry, you know this interview is to reduce the outside world's misunderstanding of you, right?" Tram said, "Some things don't have to be said so... uh... directly."

Phil Taylor has a different opinion on this.

"That's not necessarily a bad thing," Taylor said.

Trem looked at Taylor, wondering why he said this.

"To the outside world, Eddie Griffin has always been a problematic figure with a history of violence, so no one really believed his accusations against Frye. As long as these words from Frye are published in the next issue "Sports Illustrated, Eddie's lie will collapse." Taylor said playfully, "As for that last sentence, it may have a Charles Barkley-like effect."

Tram knew what Taylor was talking about.

In 1997, in Orlando, Barkley got into a fight with a man at a bar.The man threw a drink in Buckley's face, and Buckley responded by throwing the man out of the window into the street.Subsequently, Buckley was prosecuted by the court for this matter.When the judge asked "Do you regret it?" Buckley responded: "Yes, I regret it very much. I regret being on the first floor."

The public, who learned what happened, understood Buckley more than they blamed him.

That's what Phil meant.

Trem thought to himself that this was indeed the case and stopped thinking about it.

That night, Treme invited Taylor, Yu Fei, Kwame and others to have dinner at a Michelin three-star restaurant.

Taylor stayed only a short time and left.

Brown said innocently: "Phil is such a good guy that he was willing to defend Frye."

"Huh, good guy?" Trem sneered, "That bastard always takes advantage of me. He is indeed willing to help, but it's not for no reason. Kwame, you have to remember this, no one will Helping you for no reason.”

Yu Fei ate his dinner quietly.

He doesn't like any of the Michelins because it's not a good place to fill your stomach.

Yu Fei quickly finished the food in front of him and was about to order a few more dishes when Trem's words diverted his attention: "Fry, you and Kwame should prepare well these two days. The day after tomorrow Let’s go to Washington for a tryout together.”

Washington?Tryout?

Yu Fei has no special feelings for DC, but he went to the Wizards for a tryout. What does this mean?Are the Wizards considering selecting him with the No. [-] pick?

As a pragmatic person, Yu Fei is not arrogant to this extent.

"I know they only have one lottery pick." Yu Fei said tactfully.

Trem saw what Yu Fei was thinking, "Do you remember what I told you a few days ago, Michael is very interested in you."

Yu Fei's heart roared almost at the same time: Don't come over!
“Is this interest big enough to pick me with the No. [-] pick?”

If not, what was he doing in Washington?
"Wizards scouts have been describing you as a taller version of Scottie Pippen, and you should know what that name means to Michael," Trem said.

Well, it means that Jordan will expose his shortcomings severely in the stinky and long version of "Extreme Jordan" (also known as "The Last Dance"), causing Pi Laoer to type out 300 pages in one year. Autobiography blackmails him.

"How did I become Scottie Pippen?"

Yu Fei asked inexplicably.

Since last year, his template has been ever-changing.

From Lamar Odom to Darius Miles, there was a crazy comparison between him and Eddie Griffin some time ago, and now it’s Scottie Pippen.

"This is not important. In short, you have to prepare well. Maybe you will play on the same team as Kwame in the future." Trem's words were like a prophecy.

Yu Fei and Kwame looked at each other.Kwame immediately showed his big brother attitude: "Great, if we play on the same team, I can directly protect you under my wings!"

Top Gun's top pick didn't know what was waiting for him in Washington, and to be honest, Yu Fei didn't know either.

After becoming Dandan, Yu Fei's understanding of Jordan basically came from "The Last Dance" and Pi Er's critical comments and autobiography.

Even if "The Last Dance" only briefly describes the brutality of Jordan's leadership of the team, one can still imagine how Kwame would be treated around Jordan.

Kwame still doesn’t understand that he is living in his own fantasy world, which is not reality.

In the next two days, Yu Fei basically trained with Kwame.

Two days was not long, but it was enough for Yu Fei to understand Kwame's playing style.

In terms of physical talent and playing style, Kwame Brown is very similar to Harry Giles III PF/C, the No. 2016 high school student in the United States in the class of [-]. With his precocious body, he has become a leader in the high school basketball world. The top technology in the industry is respected by the same generation.

If Giles was ruined by injuries, what about Brown?
From the perspective of Yu Fei's senses, Brown has at least a few major flaws. His long neck results in a low effective height, and his wingspan is even lower than Yu Fei's. Therefore, he will definitely not be able to reach the height that is very important for the inside line. The standard for top insiders, and then the buttery hand that is vaguely showing.

During training, Kwame often failed to catch extremely fast direct passes.

As for skills, there is really nothing to say. For high school students, Brown is great, but once you enter the next level of competition, the existing skills will be insufficient. If you directly enter the NBA, the highest palace of basketball, high school The proud technology of the period is likely to become a shortcoming.

This aspect is actually Yu Fei's biggest selling point, and it is also his most risky aspect.

Most scouts are optimistic that Yu Fei will successfully enter the NBA with his existing technical reserves. However, if he cannot use his existing skills in the NBA, he will have to rely on his physical talent to play in the post. Once he cannot survive in the NBA's post, he will have to be eliminated. eliminated.

The strange thing is that all scouts are optimistic about Kwame's performance in the NBA. They think this is a high school student with both growth potential and immediate combat ability.

Yu Fei doesn't see it that way, but he can't control Kwame.

In the past two days, Yu Fei focused on individual training, while Kwame was obsessed with defeating the trainer in a duel.

Whenever he made a great play, he would yell, "What about this ball?!"

Then, the licking dogs in the training team loudly echoed: "Super awesome! Absolutely one of the top five players in the NBA!"

Yu Fei turned a deaf ear and just asked Dimeo to pass the ball, and then asked Lawson to perform symbolic interference defense as a defender.

He has to take 500 three-point shots without interference every day, practice another 500 open three-pointers, and spend the rest of his time on basic training inside.

His training was boring, and Kwame invited him to fight several times but was rejected.

"Fry, don't you know that besides us, there will be other players participating in the trial training tomorrow?" Kwame said, "There will probably be a one-on-one session. Are you sure you don't want to practice?"

"No, the strength gap between you and me is too big, there is no value and meaning in any practice."

"Hehe, don't be so arrogant. Besides, I will protect you when the time comes."

Hee hee, you better know how.

⑴ A certain episode of "The Last Dance" spent a certain amount of time telling the story of Pi Lao Er's infamous 1993 seconds incident in the 1.8 semifinals and his surgery during the 1997-98 season and his public request for the Bulls to trade him. Our dog Teman He said with an upright face, "We were chasing three consecutive championships, and Scotty was a bit selfish in doing so."

Pi Laoer responded in his autobiography: Do you want to know what selfishness is?Selfishness would be to retire before training camp starts, leaving the team unable to sign free agents.

This passage appears in the preface of his autobiography, and Pi Laoer fully maintains this aggressiveness in the seventeen chapters that follow.

If someone wants to argue why Jordan is not a dog, Pi Laoer's irreverence must be used as one of the strong arguments.
