Chapter 1 Fame and fortune are like smoke?Really?
Yu Fei learned the news that Chris Whitney was traded that night.
If he had to find two people on his team to survive in the wilderness with him, he would choose Tyronn Lue and Chris Whitney.
The former is optimistic enough to allow people to overcome difficulties, while the latter is mature and stable and has enough life experience.
The most important thing is that he and Yu Fei have a really good relationship.
When the trade happened, Whitney was fishing in his hometown. He was very satisfied with his life, loved playing for the Wizards, and was eager to play in DC until he retired.
He even hopes to find an elementary school basketball coach in DC after retiring.
Then, sudden news of the transaction disrupted his plans.
"This is what you get for publicly taking your side." Whitney said self-deprecatingly. "I should have known it was dangerous."
Yu Fei laughed after hearing this: "Believe me, Seattle is better than DC."
"But I've been here for seven years and I'm used to everything here," Whitney said. "My family is basically half-Washington."
This left both of them speechless.
Regardless, the deal has taken place, and both Yu Fei and Whitney have to move on.
Before leaving, Whitney said to Fei: "If you don't want to end up like me, you must find a way to control the team and don't be thrown out of DC like me!"
Being traded like Whitney?
Yu Fei wanted to say that that was what he wanted. Instead of spending time with the Wizards and Jordan, it would be better to start over in a different place.
But unfortunately, this is not a 2K game. Yu Fei cannot set up a forced trade, otherwise he would have traded himself or Jordan away.
As for now, he really has to move on.
As Whitney said, seizing power from Jordan is the only way in front of him.
The two players the Wizards exchanged for Chris Whitney and Hubert Davis are both rookies. Bobby Simmons is the backup wing the team needs most at present, while Watson is a mature point guard. .
Yu Fei had no feelings for these two people.
Although their arrival resulted in Whitney's departure, he knew that it was the man who made the deal who should really be questioned.
The first day after Whitney was traded was when Yu Fei was most dissatisfied with Jordan, but on this day, Jordan did not come to the Verizon Center for training.
Because it is the All-Star Weekend holiday now, Jordan has to prepare to go to Philadelphia to participate in the All-Star Game, and it is impossible for him to have time to train here.
Yu Fei is also preparing to participate in the Rookie Challenge, but now he just wants to find trouble with Jordan.
However, he couldn't find it.
The only teammate he found on the practice field was Richard Hamilton, who was scheduled to return after the All-Star break.
"Did they notify you when they traded Chris?"
Hamilton asked Yu Fei this question.
Yu Fei said: "No."
"It seems like he doesn't respect you as much as I thought." Even though Hamilton didn't mention him by name, Yu Fei immediately identified who the "him" he was referring to was.
Yu Fei looked at the second-in-command of the team who had been absent for more than a month due to a groin tear - he may no longer be the second-in-command - with a hint of presumption on his face: "Why do you think he will respect me? Do you think he has respected me here? A person? I don’t think that in his eyes, everyone should serve him, and everyone should surrender before him and be ruled by him.”
Then Hamilton asked his biggest doubt: "Then why don't you obey his wishes? You must admit that he is very influential in the league, and you are the rookie he selected against all odds. You are better than Kwame "Excellent, you can help him, you just have to lower your profile to gain his favor, and Chris may not be traded."
"That's what people who are desperate do." Yu Fei said, "I'm still young and capable, and I'm confident in myself. Why do I have to sell my self-respect and soul to an unworthy person?"
Hamilton laughed: "You are really rebellious."
Yu Fei said sarcastically: "You don't fear the boss as much as you seem on the surface."
"No, I really respect him." Hamilton stopped smiling, "I just hope he respects me too."
Okay, okay, I know you are still upset about people saying you don’t deserve to wear Jordan shoes. Isn’t it because people think you don’t deserve to wear them? Then don’t wear them. You can consider Chinese Jordan shoes. I’m talking to someone. Jordan agreed on behalf of China.
Another day passed, and Yu Fei's anger dissipated a lot.
He felt that he should be happy that Whitney got rid of Jordan. After all, Whitney's career was coming to an end. If in the last few years, he was forced to accompany this pirate ship that was destined to hit the iceberg, who would Do you know if something bad will happen?
Then, Reebok informed Yu Fei to promote his exclusive boots before the All-Star Weekend.
This year's All-Star Game is held in Philadelphia, Allen Iverson's home court.
And Iverson is currently Reebok's most famous basketball player. They have planned to let Iverson support Yu Fei's advertisements and conduct some humanized activities to expand their influence.
April 2
Yu Fei took Lawson and assistant Clark to Philadelphia. At the airport, Reebok staff had arranged interviews and a special car.
"Fry, that's a reporter from USA Today. He's going to do a 15-minute interview with you. After the interview is over, we'll leave. You'll be very busy today."
Yu Fei briefly lost his personal freedom, and then was interviewed first.
The other party inevitably asked a lot of questions about Jordan during the interview.
Although Yu Fei hates people asking about Jordan, considering that the farce between him and Jordan is a major storyline in the NBA this season, sometimes he has to follow the market.
The other party focused on asking about Jordan's marriage, but this was such a bad joke that Yu Fei was too lazy to answer.
Jordan's marriage scandal started brewing at the beginning of the season. At the beginning of the new year, his wife filed for divorce. Today, one month later, the divorce application was cancelled.
Jordan appears to have saved his marriage.
But Yu Fei knew that Jordan would find a Cuban model as his wife in the future, so the marriage was definitely over.
However, the media and the public seem to be curious about Yu Fei's views on this matter. They want to know what Yu Fei thinks of the passionate Jordan, and they want to know whether Jordan will become the next Magic Johnson.
In fact, divorce is not a big deal, 50% of couples have to face this problem, so why are the outside world so curious about Jordan's marriage?Yu Fei thought about this question seriously, and finally, he felt that he had the answer.
This is the result of the image that Jordan's team spent 17 years carefully building for him.
Jordan's team molded him into a man worth emulating, and he earned more than half a billion dollars in endorsement revenue as a result.In 17 years of constant self-promotion, Jordan's team elevated him from great athlete to hero and ultimately to an American moral symbol.
Liver Phoenix, who died because of his uniqueness, would not show his sunny smile and make children admire him. Madonna, who danced in front of conservatives, would not make everyone admire her with a song "Like Mike". No celebrity would Play yourself in a family movie, make friends with cartoon characters, be a family man and save the world. If you insist on using this method to portray yourself as a perfect person with no shortcomings except gambling, then the public will naturally Have a strict set of standards by which to look at your marriage.
"I don't know, Michael and I have never talked about each other's private lives." Yu Fei has his own opinion, but he won't say it out loud, "Maybe you should ask him himself."
The 15-minute interview ended quickly.
Afterwards, Yu Fei was taken to the set of the commercial by Reebok's special car.
Yu Fei arrived on time, but Iverson, who was responsible for helping with the filming, was an hour late.
"Hey, Frye, I heard you and Michael are not on good terms?" Iverson asked gossiping.
"How could that be? You know, no one respects MJ more than me."
Yu Fei no longer knows how many times he has said this sentence. Why do people still want to maliciously speculate on his relationship with Jordan?What do these people have in mind?
"It's weird for me to believe you, you know? I just met MJ, and when I asked him about you, I couldn't even see any light in his eyes." Iverson said, "You look really good It made him very unhappy."
"Rumors, absolutely rumors. His unhappiness has nothing to do with me. It's not like you don't know that he is preparing to divorce his wife recently." Halfway through Yu Fei's words, he felt that there was no point in talking to Iverson about this.
There is no problem in treating Iverson as the American Jiang Jinfu. If the domestic violence experts in the NBA were to choose an All-Star team, he would definitely be selected with high votes. This top scumbag who would give his wife insulting nicknames would not think so. Divorce is a terrible thing, and it is impossible to believe that anyone would feel bad about it.
Then, Yu Fei stopped talking to him about this.
Now that the people have arrived, the advertising shooting begins.
The whole process was not difficult. Yu Fei didn't have many lines, but it still took three hours to complete.
After that, Yu Fei will attend various Reebok events with Iverson, and then attend an official press conference held by the NBA.
I don’t know whose evil intention actually arranged for Yu Fei, Jordan and Iverson to participate in the group interview.
When Yu Fei and Jordan met, Iverson was sure that there must be something wrong with the two people.
"I've always said that Reebok's shoes are not good, but now they look good." Jordan said politely, "The shoes are good."
Yu Feipi said with a smile: "It can't be compared with Nike's high-tech sneakers."
"That's true." After Jordan finished speaking, the two of them stopped talking.
Iverson couldn't believe that the relationship between teammates could be so alienated that only sneakers were the only thing to talk about.
Immediately afterwards, they sat down and began to accept group interviews with the media.
At the scene, Iverson was wearing a red headband with his nickname "THE ANSWER" printed in large white square letters.Jordan wore a black Jordan Brand/Nike tracksuit and one silver earring.Yu Fei wore Reebok brand sportswear, and specially wore a pair of brightly colored "Chosen Generation" ones.
Here, reporters saw the perfect combination of the confidence and arrogance of two charismatic young men and the market positioning of experienced veterans, and this scene perfectly reflects the two forces that promote the success of the professional basketball industry-vanity. and the art of turning vanity into a taste: promoting vanity as a narrative angle in a legendary story.
Yu Fei and Iverson spent much of the time admiring each other and trying to rein in reporters.Surprisingly, Jordan looked more fringe than the two youngsters.A reporter in the first row was about to ask him, but he interrupted: "It's not your turn yet." The only reason for this situation was that Jordan didn't know the reporter, and he didn't want to ask someone he didn't know. People say anything.
A reporter who was familiar with Jordan smiled and started asking: "Michael, how many years will your comeback last? Two years? Or three years?"
"No," Jordan said, shaking his head, "I don't think about things that far in the future."
Then, Jordan started making fun of Barkley.He believes that Barkley is excellent, but he has not reached the level of great players. Barkley belongs to the "second tier". Why?Because he never won.It wasn't until Jordan won the championship in 1991 that people compared him to the Magic Bird.Then, he issued a challenge to Iverson, whom he loved very much. He hoped that Iverson would win the championship.
It was fun to watch Jordan joke about Barkley regardless of the situation.
Of course, this matter will not affect the friendship between the two of them, because Buckley himself is often mentioned about this on TNT programs.But what Barkley didn't expect was that this would become a cultural phenomenon in the basketball world in the next 20 years. He became the representative of the "loser", and the origin of all this may be Jordan.
Jordan said on the Oprah show that Barkley did not have the basic qualities of a winner. Now he is making fun of Barkley again. He will make many Barkley jokes in the future. Of course, these jokes are all based on the fact that Barkley did not win the championship. .
However, one day in the future, when Barkley said that the Bobcats under Jordan were the worst team in the NBA, how would Jordan respond?Did he laugh it off?No, he and Barkley broke up.
That's the risk of being Jordan's friend.
Yu Fei likes what Chris Whitney said before leaving: "It's dangerous to be on your side."
Yes, it might be dangerous to be paired with Yu Fei, but who wants to be paired with Jordan?
Yu Fei really didn't know why Jordan always gave him one reason after another: "I never want to have any fucking relationship with this old guy."
Could it be that the two of them are really innately at odds with each other?
Then, the reporter who was rejected by Jordan asked Yu Fei a sensitive question: "How is your relationship with Michael?"
At that moment, the scene was silent.
Yu Fei could reject him like Jordan, but he didn't want to be like Jordan.
"It's not as bad as you think, nor as harmonious as you think." Yu Fei said with a smile, "We are just like Ross and Rachel (Friends), separated and noisy."
⑴Beware of anyone who has not watched "Friends", here is a different metaphor: just like Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei in "Love Apartment".
Then, this reporter, who was a bit ignorant of etiquette, posed a difficult question to Iverson: "Can you compare Michael and Kobe, AI, who do you think is better?"
Jordan couldn't bear it and responded directly: "If I were you, I wouldn't answer this question. Of course, you have the right to express your own opinion."
The idols all spoke up, and Iverson naturally knew how to answer.
"Did you hear what he said?" Iverson looked at the reporter with a smile.
Then, without a doubt, Jordan said, “Next question!”
For some in the visiting room, it was going to be a difficult day.
After the group visit, Yu Fei left without saying hello to Jordan.
Iverson asked in surprise: "Mike, is your relationship really that bad?"
Jordan was used to Fei's disrespect. When he heard this question, he didn't even have the thought to explain: "This is the spoiled Generation Y. They are the real beat generation!"
Spoiled, broken.
Iverson was not sure whether these two words were appropriate to use for the best player in the 2001 rookie class, but he was certain that the relationship between Yu Fei and Jordan was far worse than he imagined.
That night, Yu Fei participated in the Rookie Challenge.
Because he participated in too many activities today, Yu Fei obviously lacked interest in the competition.
A kind of mental fatigue troubled him.
Although Yu Fei got 26 minutes of playing time, his performance could only be said to be average, with 16 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. He was one of the best players in the rookie team, but the rookie team was defeated by the sophomore team by 24 points.
Yu Fei's heart was calm. Although the intensity of the Rookie Challenge was higher than that of the All-Star Game, if this game was really regarded as an important stage, the situation would be too low.
Yu Fei no longer needs to prove himself in this kind of competition.
It was a tiring day today, and he just wanted to go back to the hotel and rest early.
However, the damn league office still insists on letting Magic, a washed-up old guy, accompany the rookies in activities.
As the leader of the rookie team, Yu Fei was arranged to be interviewed together with Magic.
As a senior, the magician shared a lot of experiences, especially in bed.
"I always keep telling young players, look at me and you will know that you should protect yourself, control your desires, and maintain healthy and safe love, otherwise, you will end up like me."
What he said was really helpful to Yu Fei, who was still a virgin.
Yu Fei could tell that the magician liked the spotlight, and he loved the camera very much.
No matter how tired he is, as long as he is in front of the camera, he will be full of energy to accept various interviews.
This is a man who would die out of the spotlight.
Before Yu Fei left, an NBC staff member approached Magic and asked him to shoot a behind-the-scenes video for tomorrow's All-Star Game.
"No problem at all!"
It only took the magician about a tenth of a second.He turned around, faced the camera, and began to say: "Tomorrow is the NBA All-Star Game. Woohoo, Michael Jordan is back. There are many other super, super, super good players."
Then the following conversation took place.
"Thank you, Mr. Magician,"
"You are always available if you need it,"
"Oh. How old are you now?"
"Almost 43 years old,"
"Thank you again, Mr. Magician."
"a piece of cake."
Then, Yu Fei couldn't help but ask: "Ma Ji, do you miss this?"
Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed across the magician's face, and then he revealed his signature smile: "No, fame and fortune are just clouds to me, and the same to you. Sooner or later, you will understand that they will come into your life in a hurry. And then disappeared.”
He desperately tried to save his losing fame and fortune, and was even willing to lower his status to participate in the 3V3 fun game at the All-Star Weekend. Then he said that fame and fortune were just a cloud to him?
The HIV virus cannot kill the magician, but if one day no one knows the magician anymore and no spotlight falls on his head, he will truly die.
The next day was the All-Star Game, and according to Yu Fei's thoughts, he was ready to leave.
Because his rookie campaign is over and he won't play in the main game, what is he doing in Philadelphia?
The reason Arne Traim gave him was: "Stay and support Michael."
Yu Fei was stunned for a few seconds and said: "You know, I once saw some people on the Internet discussing who was the most elegant jumper on the World Trade Center on September 911, but your joke is even worse than what I saw. .”
"This is not a joke, Frye. Even if OK and OK are incompatible, they still need an external hypocritical surface to decorate themselves. You and MJ haven't developed to the point of completely breaking up, so you must stay and support him. This is for you The image is very important.”
"Okay, okay, I'll stay and I'll curse him on the bench to show his ugliness!"
"This is your freedom."
"Well, I didn't have the freedom to leave, but I had the freedom to curse Michael on the spot."
“Congratulations on realizing the true meaning of freedom, it’s such a mess.”
Despite his complaints, Yu Fei still fulfilled his duty as a teammate and came to the scene at the beginning of the All-Star game to support Jordan.
Then, his curse on Jordan came true.
Jordan really made a fool of himself in this game and performed poorly.
Although Eastern Stars coach Byron Scott respected Jordan enough to let him play 23 minutes, Jordan missed an ugly dunk and then shot 13 of 4 from the field.
On the contrary, before the game, Kobe, who was expected to stage a peak showdown between old and new superstars with Jordan, met expectations. He swept the All-Star Game in his hometown and finally won the AMVP trophy.
But Yu Fei believes that Kobe will not be happy.
Because every time Kobe gets the ball, what his hometown fans give him is not cheers symbolizing love, but boos full of hate.
what's the situation?what happened?Kobe Bryant is back from Eagle County?Has he disgraced his hometown?Even for the Lakers' victory over the 2001ers in the 76 Finals, Yu Fei felt that the Phillies should not hate Kobe.Frankly speaking, in terms of last year's playoff performance ([-]), the Finals was the time when Kobe performed at his worst. He had already given his hometown a chance, but his hometown team just couldn't take advantage of it. How can one still hate him? ?It makes no sense!
After the game, NBC reporters interviewed Yu Fei on the spot and wanted to know what he thought about Jordan's dunk with an empty basket.
They know how to stir up trouble, but although Yu Fei is not afraid of trouble, he is not interested in making trouble. Therefore, he said with a smile: "This is a problem with the basket."
"But it was an empty basket."
"Yeah, so I said it was a problem with the basket."
"why?"
"Because Michael can't miss an open basket, it's okay and impossible for Michael to miss an open basket."

Chapter 1 Fame and fortune are like smoke?Really?
Yu Fei learned the news that Chris Whitney was traded that night.

However, one day in the future, when Barkley said that the Bobcats under Jordan were the worst team in the NBA, how would Jordan respond?Did he laugh it off?No, he and Barkley broke up.
That's the risk of being Jordan's friend.
Yu Fei likes what Chris Whitney said before leaving: "It's dangerous to be on your side."
Yes, it might be dangerous to be paired with Yu Fei, but who wants to be paired with Jordan?
Yu Fei really didn't know why Jordan always gave him one reason after another: "I never want to have any fucking relationship with this old guy."
Could it be that the two of them are really innately at odds with each other?
Then, the reporter who was rejected by Jordan asked Yu Fei a sensitive question: "How is your relationship with Michael?"
At that moment, the scene was silent.
Yu Fei could reject him like Jordan, but he didn't want to be like Jordan.
"It's not as bad as you think, nor as harmonious as you think." Yu Fei said with a smile, "We are just like Ross and Rachel (Friends), separated and noisy."
⑴Beware of anyone who has not watched "Friends", here is a different metaphor: just like Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei in "Love Apartment".
Then, this reporter, who was a bit ignorant of etiquette, posed a difficult question to Iverson: "Can you compare Michael and Kobe, AI, who do you think is better?"
Jordan couldn't bear it and responded directly: "If I were you, I wouldn't answer this question. Of course, you have the right to express your own opinion."
The idols all spoke up, and Iverson naturally knew how to answer.
"Did you hear what he said?" Iverson looked at the reporter with a smile.
Then, without a doubt, Jordan said, “Next question!”
For some in the visiting room, it was going to be a difficult day.
After the group visit, Yu Fei left without saying hello to Jordan.
Iverson asked in surprise: "Mike, is your relationship really that bad?"
Jordan was used to Fei's disrespect. When he heard this question, he didn't even have the thought to explain: "This is the spoiled Generation Y. They are the real beat generation!"
Spoiled, broken.
Iverson was not sure whether these two words were appropriate to use for the best player in the 2001 rookie class, but he was certain that the relationship between Yu Fei and Jordan was far worse than he imagined.
That night, Yu Fei participated in the Rookie Challenge.
Because he participated in too many activities today, Yu Fei obviously lacked interest in the competition.
A kind of mental fatigue troubled him.
Although Yu Fei got 26 minutes of playing time, his performance could only be said to be average, with 16 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. He was one of the best players in the rookie team, but the rookie team was defeated by the sophomore team by 24 points.
Yu Fei's heart was calm. Although the intensity of the Rookie Challenge was higher than that of the All-Star Game, if this game was really regarded as an important stage, the situation would be too low.
Yu Fei no longer needs to prove himself in this kind of competition.
It was a tiring day today, and he just wanted to go back to the hotel and rest early.
However, the damn league office still insists on letting Magic, a washed-up old guy, accompany the rookies in activities.
As the leader of the rookie team, Yu Fei was arranged to be interviewed together with Magic.
As a senior, the magician shared a lot of experiences, especially in bed.
"I always keep telling young players, look at me and you will know that you should protect yourself, control your desires, and maintain healthy and safe love, otherwise, you will end up like me."
What he said was really helpful to Yu Fei, who was still a virgin.
Yu Fei could tell that the magician liked the spotlight, and he loved the camera very much.
No matter how tired he is, as long as he is in front of the camera, he will be full of energy to accept various interviews.
This is a man who would die out of the spotlight.
Before Yu Fei left, an NBC staff member approached Magic and asked him to shoot a behind-the-scenes video for tomorrow's All-Star Game.
"No problem at all!"
It only took the magician about a tenth of a second.He turned around, faced the camera, and began to say: "Tomorrow is the NBA All-Star Game. Woohoo, Michael Jordan is back. There are many other super, super, super good players."
Then the following conversation took place.
"Thank you, Mr. Magician,"
"You are always available if you need it,"
"Oh. How old are you now?"
"Almost 43 years old,"
"Thank you again, Mr. Magician."
"a piece of cake."
Then, Yu Fei couldn't help but ask: "Ma Ji, do you miss this?"
Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed across the magician's face, and then he revealed his signature smile: "No, fame and fortune are just clouds to me, and the same to you. Sooner or later, you will understand that they will come into your life in a hurry. And then disappeared.”
He desperately tried to save his losing fame and fortune, and was even willing to lower his status to participate in the 3V3 fun game at the All-Star Weekend. Then he said that fame and fortune were just a cloud to him?
The HIV virus cannot kill the magician, but if one day no one knows the magician anymore and no spotlight falls on his head, he will truly die.
The next day was the All-Star Game, and according to Yu Fei's thoughts, he was ready to leave.
Because his rookie campaign is over and he won't play in the main game, what is he doing in Philadelphia?
The reason Arne Traim gave him was: "Stay and support Michael."
Yu Fei was stunned for a few seconds and said: "You know, I once saw some people on the Internet discussing who was the most elegant jumper on the World Trade Center on September 911, but your joke is even worse than what I saw. .”
"This is not a joke, Frye. Even if OK and OK are incompatible, they still need an external hypocritical surface to decorate themselves. You and MJ haven't developed to the point of completely breaking up, so you must stay and support him. This is for you The image is very important.”
"Okay, okay, I'll stay and I'll curse him on the bench to show his ugliness!"
"This is your freedom."
"Well, I didn't have the freedom to leave, but I had the freedom to curse Michael on the spot."
“Congratulations on realizing the true meaning of freedom, it’s such a mess.”
Despite his complaints, Yu Fei still fulfilled his duty as a teammate and came to the scene at the beginning of the All-Star game to support Jordan.
Then, his curse on Jordan came true.
Jordan really made a fool of himself in this game and performed poorly.
Although Eastern Stars coach Byron Scott respected Jordan enough to let him play 23 minutes, Jordan missed an ugly dunk and then shot 13 of 4 from the field.
On the contrary, before the game, Kobe, who was expected to stage a peak showdown between old and new superstars with Jordan, met expectations. He swept the All-Star Game in his hometown and finally won the AMVP trophy.
But Yu Fei believes that Kobe will not be happy.
Because every time Kobe gets the ball, what his hometown fans give him is not cheers symbolizing love, but boos full of hate.
what's the situation?what happened?Kobe Bryant is back from Eagle County?Has he disgraced his hometown?Even for the Lakers' victory over the 2001ers in the 76 Finals, Yu Fei felt that the Phillies should not hate Kobe.Frankly speaking, in terms of last year's playoff performance ([-]), the Finals was the time when Kobe performed at his worst. He had already given his hometown a chance, but his hometown team just couldn't take advantage of it. How can one still hate him? ?It makes no sense!
After the game, NBC reporters interviewed Yu Fei on the spot and wanted to know what he thought about Jordan's dunk with an empty basket.
They know how to stir up trouble, but although Yu Fei is not afraid of trouble, he is not interested in making trouble. Therefore, he said with a smile: "This is a problem with the basket."
"But it was an empty basket."
"Yeah, so I said it was a problem with the basket."
"why?"
"Because Michael can't miss an open basket, it's okay and impossible for Michael to miss an open basket."
