When pride still matters

Chapter 104 He just did something that most people wanted to do
The next day, Yu Fei came to the Verizon Center early for training as usual.
He was alone today. Lawson went back to Kent for something, so he was alone on the training ground.
After rejecting Jordan's so-called "recruitment", Yu Fei needs to practice harder. Only in this way can he ensure that he performs well on the court.
A large crowd of reporters gathered outside the Verizon Center in the afternoon.
They asked the Wizards to open up media access, just like they had the past few days.
But at that time, Jordan had just experienced a 6-point night, and he needed to open a window to the outside world to say something. Now, with two MVP-level performances, Jordan no longer needs them.
This is the practice of the Wizards. They can choose whether to practice in a closed building based on the needs of Jordan and Collins.
Despite NBA regulations that keep information open between the media and teams, reporters were able to observe the last half-hour of NBA team practice.The Wizards' closed-door training reminds people that Jordan is hardly bound by any league rules.A reporter once called the NBA office angrily, believing that the Wizards' closed-door training violated league regulations and should be punished accordingly.But the response from NBA chief public relations officer Brian McIntyre is always the same: "We will look into the matter and ask them to comply."
Ultimately, nothing changes.The league never fined the Wizards, and Abe Poulin never intervened.Eventually, the league's rules became meaningless.Collins and Wizards public relations staff acted as gatekeepers, keeping reporters at a distance.Not just reporters in the field, but reporters in Washington were beginning to accept being excluded from training.But for reporters who watched the Wizards flout league rules, Jordan's power and the Wizards' closed-door practices were irritating.
Yu Fei put on the jersey of the match and found that Jordan could not be found on the court.
He glanced around and found Jordan moving slowly on the spinning bike.
If nothing else, he will not participate in the afternoon training. This is his way of taking care of his body.
No one would say this is unfair, even though it is in fact unfair, but who would argue with Jordan?This guy plays 38 minutes per game with tenosynovitis, which is fine.
For Kwame Brown, Jordan not participating in practice is more like a liberation.
Yu Fei performed well in the competition and led the black team to a big victory over the white team. Collins gathered the crowd, said a few words casually, and then dismissed the players.
This signals the end of a training session.
Yu Fei sat aside to rest. From now on, the players are free. They can continue training or leave on their own.
"Let's go in!"
Yu Fei heard the noise at the door.
The man in charge of the gate was named Alexander Naser. He looked at the reporter with a goatee expressionlessly: "No."
"The alliance stipulates that we can go in!"
"No."
"I see Fry! And Michael, he's on the spin bike!"
"no!"
One reporter from USA Today complained in frustration: “Is that all you can say?”
"no!"
"The training is over, why don't you let people in?"
Yu Fei was upset by their quarrel, so he came over and asked.
Naser glanced at Jordan, who was sitting on a spinning bike chatting with Grover: "Because Michael disagrees."
This is a very convincing reason.
Naser is just a small staff member. If he neglects his duty in this matter and lets reporters find out that Jordan has been fishing on a spinning bike all day long, who knows what story they will make up?
Once things get to this point, Nasser will lose his job.
"Everyone, don't make things difficult for Alexander. He is just doing his job." Yu Fei said, "The training is over. There is no point in you staying here."
At this time, the reporter with the goatee quickly asked: "Fry, this is Sam Smith from the Chicago Globe. Can I ask you to do an exclusive interview?"
Yu Fei originally didn't have time for an interview, but the reporter's name aroused his interest.
"You are the 'unforgivable scumbag' that MJ calls you?" Yu Fei asked.
Smith's face twitched, "I think so."
"I might have time tonight."
"Isn't your training over?"
"They're done." Yu Fei took the towel off his shoulders, "I haven't yet."
Smith's ability to seize opportunities made his colleagues covetous. Yu Fei turned around, and the reporters begged for attention.
But Yu Fei didn't look at them twice.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Fei and Sam Smith met at a Chinese restaurant.
The reason why Yu Fei accepted Smith's invitation was not only because Jordan hated him, but more importantly, this person was a reporter who disobeyed Jordan.
He published the "Jordan Rules" during the first three consecutive seasons with the Bulls. Those real insider stories created a chain of suspicion within the Bulls such as "Are you the mole?" and "No! You are the mole!"
He was the first person to show Jordan's true face to the world.
"Fry, what do you think Michael's expectations are for this season?"
Yu Fei smiled and said, "It's obviously my exclusive interview, but your first question is about Michael?"
Smith immediately got the information he wanted. Yu Fei didn't like the issue of being linked to Jordan.
"You hate Michael even more than I thought." Smith said slyly. "I never imagined that your relationship has become so bad."
Do you know that Jordan may hate you more than me?
Yu Fei said: "It's not annoying, I've just answered too many similar questions. Since it's my exclusive interview, let's ask some questions related to me."
Yu Fei's words also blocked Smith's way to continue to pry into Jordan's privacy.
"Well, if that's what you want, I respect your wishes, no Michael from now on."
The interview lasted 40 minutes. Smith really didn't ask Jordan any more questions. They talked a lot.
Smith asked about all the secrets about Yu Fei's childhood, high school, and draft.
Yu Fei had no reservations.
Finally, Smith said: "Two days later, you are going to play the Bulls in DC, and I sincerely wish you a bad game."
"Thank you for making me regret agreeing to this interview before it was over."
the next day, afternoon
Yu Fei and his teammates took the bus to MCI.
Jordan is there too.
His expression was gloomy and he seemed to be in a low mood.Yu Fei sat next to Kwame Brown, originally wanting to close his eyes and rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, Brown said softly: "Have you heard?"
"Ok?"
"Michael is divorced."
"Oh, congratulate him for me."
"You're such a bastard!" Brown was quite qualified. "How can I congratulate you on something like this?"
Yu Fei leaned back, opened his eyes slightly and said, "It might be a good thing for him to get rid of a wife who will be treated as his mother when taken outside."
Yu Fei liked Brown's reaction very much: "Huh???"
"Don't make noise, I'm going to sleep."
"Explain it to me."
When the Wizards' bus arrived at MCI, the place was already occupied by the media.
Jordan's divorce rumors, the game against his old team, whether Jordan resented Artest for breaking his ribs, and Jerry Krause's unusual behavior of traveling with the team to the away game.
The moment Yu Fei stepped out of the bus, a reporter asked him a question that made him laugh, "What do you think of Michael's divorce?"
"That's a good question. My only opinion on the matter is - it's none of my business?"
Jordan, who should have refused media interviews, seems to have a strong desire to express himself, which is also rare for him.
He wouldn't normally want to be interviewed off the bus, but today he was open to questions about his personal life, especially about the Bulls.
"I like Ron a lot, the rib thing was an accident, I don't blame him."
"Hiring Bill (Cartwright) as head coach was the best decision they made in the past year."
"How to turn the Bulls around? If it were me, I would fire Jerry Krause and put John Paxson in charge."
Yu Fei caught the thread, it was Klaus.
The reason why Jordan seems to have a lot to say is because of Krause.
This game seems to be related to personal vendettas. Jordan wants to win and Krause wants to win.
But Yu Fei, like other Wizards players, treated this game as an ordinary game.
Then, when the game started, Yu Fei first discovered that Eddie Curry's attitude towards the game was extremely lazy, even worse than Kwame Brown, and Tyson Chandler was even more courageous but lacked physical strength. The support was stunned.
Chandler was soon sent off for a foul. Although Curry stayed on the court, his defensive attitude was too negative. When Yu Fei broke through, he didn't even need to throw a throw, and it was directly under his nose. For a layup, he would just make a bluffing defensive move and then watch the ball go in.
Jordan continued his hot form in the first two games, scoring 25 points at halftime, and seemed hopeful of sprinting towards the 50-point mark again.
For a long time, the Wizards maintained a 20-point lead, but Jordan failed to find the state he had in the first half in the second half. His legs began to hurt again, and the Bulls were slowly eroding the Wizards' advantage until the third quarter. In the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, the score difference between the two sides was only 8 points. At that time, Yu Fei, who had already taken a rest, was called up from the bench by Collins to put out the fire.
Then, the Bulls completed a steal.
The person who grabbed the ball was Artest, who passed the ball to a player named Ron Mercer (SF/SG). If this counterattack can be successful, the point difference between the two sides will return to 6 points. .
With 2 points difference in 6 minutes, a comeback is not impossible.
However, Jordan's pride did not allow the Bulls to get a chance to make a comeback at that moment, so he caught up and the 38-year-old looked like a 19-year-old boy.
Jordan caught up with Mercer, jumped up, grabbed the opponent's ball with both hands a foot above his head, pressed it against the backboard, and roughly plucked it off.
"!¥!@#¥%@#%"
The fans in disbelief burst into roars, and MCI was filled with swear words and swear words that were so exciting that they were irrationally excited. In just such a moment, fans could forget about Jordan's slump in the second half, the ugliness of the Wizards being chased by 12 points in a row, and everything else. Unhappy things.
"Sorry, I still have something to do!" Jerry Krause dragged his fat belly out of the arena, "Sorry, I still have something to do."
Yu Fei walked back to the bench and sat down, knowing that he didn't have to play anymore.
The Bulls' point-chasing momentum was stopped, and they fell into loser's hell.
Yu Fei felt the fanatical atmosphere and tried to understand Jordan's charm.
This represents total domination that is ruthless, chilling and merciless.
Yu Fei didn't know that this was the highest peak since Jordan's comeback. His popularity suddenly returned to its peak, allowing himself and the Wizards to enter discussions for the best lineup, MVP, and championship.
Post-game interviews are abstract and interesting
"Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see it? This is Michael Jordan! This is the best player in history!" Collins praised Jordan's performance impassionedly.
"When I'm angry, I can jump very high." - Jordan talked about his last jaw-dropping shot.
"There's nothing stopping Michael from playing this game, do you think there's anything that's going to stop him?" - Grover told reporters.
"We just went in another direction, and there was no downside to that. Michael was fine in D.C., and we were fine in Chicago." - Cartwright on being denied a job in the Bulls' front office after Jordan retired .
"I just want to be respected, I'm not the rib breaker you say, I'm not fucking!!!" - Artest lost control of his emotions in the media room.
"I don't hate Michael." (Mixed with live "Jerry, your team sucks!" and "Jerry, eat my ass!") It's just one game in 82, no big deal .”——Klaus talked about this game and his feelings about Jordan.
"Fry, a lot of people say this game is as fun as a circus, what do you think?"
"It's so disrespectful to us who put our heart and soul into the game."
"Do you think the reason Michael jumped so high in the end was because of the impact of the divorce?"
".(Idiot) Are there any questions that a normal person can answer?"
"Ron Artest hates being called the 'rib-breaker.' Do you think the fact that he broke Michael's ribs had any impact on the game?"
"If Ron wants to quell the fallout from this, I have a half-baked suggestion. He could change his name to 'World Peace.' But I don't think it's necessary, because he just did one thing that most people think Things to do.”
"Most people? Does that include you?"
"I told you, can you ask some questions that normal people can answer?"
——Yu Fei’s post-game interview.

"Due to irreconcilable conflicts and differences between the two parties, Hutanian Jordan filed a divorce application with the local court in Chicago today." - "Chicago Globe"
"'Irreconcilable differences,' '25000-square-foot mansion,' 'claiming half of marital estate,' 'net worth $4 million.' When Michael Jordan started making headlines this way, I felt like I Got it Frye Yu, man, do yourself a favor and break Michael's ribs so we don't have to see this news anymore." - The Washington Times
⑴After Jordan won the first three consecutive championships, he brought his wife to the press conference. A reporter with a good eye asked his wife: "Are you proud of your son's performance?" Jordan took the microphone and said as you can think of He stared at the reporter with the most terrifying eyes and said: "This is my wife."
