When pride still matters

Chapter 272 I insist on arguing with a fool

Chapter 272 I insist on arguing with a fool

Before time travel, the only Bell Yu Fei knew was a mukbang maker in the wild.

He didn't know there was a Ragnarok Bell in the NBA, but he clearly remembered Kobe being knocked down by a Suns player with a classic clothesline foul on some highlights.

Bell's face met the face of the player who took Bryant down.

Therefore, before playing against Bell, Yu Fei thought he was a weakened version of Bowen, a player with poor defensive skills but dirty play. But he was wrong. Bell's defensive skills are good and he plays dirty - but how many defensive players are not dirty? ——But he has not yet been selected to the All-Defensive Team.

Yu Fei's favorite thing to tease Bell in the club is: "Even I was selected to the best defensive team, but no one cares about you. This world is really crazy."

Bell has played for the Jazz for the past two seasons. The rebuilding Jazz gave Bell a chance to show off his talents. He is a good fit for Jerry Sloan's system.

Not only was Bell recognized by Sloan on defense, he also increased his three-point shooting percentage to 40%.

Players who are good at defense are not so attractive to Fei, but what if they are good at defense and can shoot well? Isn't this the best player for him?

These days, Yu Fei has been recruiting Bell.

His competitor is Kobe Bryant.

Kobe was furious when he heard that Yu Fei used his personal relationship to "snatch" Kwame Brown to Milwaukee. He threatened: "I tell you, Laga will come to Los Angeles to play. He has already suffered in Utah. It is absolutely impossible." Choose another garbage city to play ball in!"

Yu Fei retorted: "I don't think the Lakers are attractive when the money is about the same. We are a championship team. You can return to the playoffs first."

Such disputes happen every day, and Bell actually has another option, and that is the Phoenix Suns.

However, the Suns do not use their top players to recruit themselves like the Lakers and Bucks.

However, one thing is clear, Bell has no intention of joining the Lakers.

If Yu Fei's reputation is like stinky tofu, smelly but fragrant, then Kobe is like a canned herring. It doesn't matter when you look at it from a distance, but when you open the can and smell it, no one wants it.

Bell, who was undrafted, knows that the only thing that matters to him is the team environment, core fitness and competitiveness.

On these three points, the Lakers can't compare to the Suns and Bucks.

Therefore, what Bell really needs to consider is whether he wants to play with Yu Fei or Nash.

Yu Fei told him: "The Suns can let Joe Johnson go for nothing in order to save money, please think again."

"How good are the Bucks?" Bell asked.

"It's not that good, that is, we won two championships in the past three seasons." Yu Fei said "humbly".

Bell jokingly asked: "With such a good team, why did you only sign with them for two years?"

It seems that everyone has acquiesced that Yu Fei will definitely jump out of the contract in the third year.

Yu Fei did not avoid this question and said directly: "This is a measure to protect yourself."

Bell understood Yu Fei.

Yu Fei's performance last season has proven that given him a group of passable teammates, he can take the team to the level of the conference finals.

For an unmotivated team, this kind of performance is enough.

However, if the team is unmotivated, will the players be unmotivated? How could such a powerful player not want to win the championship?

Yu Fei can take last season's Bucks to the Eastern Conference Finals and lead any Eastern Conference team to the Eastern Conference Finals.

If he were put on the Suns and played under a vampire like Sarver, he might really be able to get by with the status quo.

Players go all out, remain loyal to the team, and do not dictate the management's decisions. These most basic rules were shaken by Yu Fei's 2+1 contract extension.

Players can go all out, but they don’t have to be loyal to the team. If the management cannot work as hard as the players, others will naturally criticize you. If you are really unwilling to make efforts, then it will naturally end in two parties. .

Yu Fei brings fear to dysfunctional management, which should sound alarm bells throughout the industry, which is why he has a bad reputation.

Bell believes that instead of playing for the Suns, which has a pleasant scenery and advanced system, Yu Fei is more certain to succeed.

7 April

The Bucks reached a three-year, $3 million contract with La Gara Bell through the mid-level exception, with a player option in the third year.

One day later, the Bucks renewed Dikembe Mutombo's contract with a two-year veteran's minimum salary of $2 million.

At this point, the Bucks' offseason operations are basically over. The money that should be spent has been spent, and reinforcements are basically in place. It can be said that they have done the best within their capabilities.

The depth of the Bucks' lineup in the new season will be the best since the 2002-03 season.

On the outside there are Yu Fei, Sprewell, Martin, Barry, Bell, Ariza, Granger, Lou Williams, and (Devin) George. Inside there are Brown, Pachulia, Haslem, Mutombo, and Horry.

They have a variety of role types and can handle any team. The only problem is the lack of a Ray Allen-style star second-in-command.

But Yu Fei has confidence in Kevin Martin.

With the hands-off ban in place, Martin should be able to take off smoothly.

Although he is not at the level of Ray Allen, he can be of Mobley's level last season and it will be of great help to Yu Fei.

After Bell signed, he returned to Los Angeles for training.

Kobe is a realistic person. Once he saw that Bell had a master, he stopped coming to the club for training.

Yu Fei took the time to go to Las Vegas.

This year's summer league is held here, with a total of 16 teams. The business prospects of the casino have fascinated the league, such as the owners of the Cavaliers, Knicks, Celtics, Hornets, Kings, Trail Blazers and SuperSonics. They all come here to promote their teams. Yu Fei represents the stag.

Quint DiMeo arranged many promotional activities for Yu Fei, which made him the most popular NBA player in the casino during the summer league.

We move around more and hear more gossip.

One of the most unusual rumors is that Seattle SuperSonics owner Howard Schultz is looking for a buyer for the team.

Since the new century, NBA ownership changes have not been as frequent as they were in the 70s and 80s.

Because the NBA has transformed from a money-burning machine that loses money and makes money into a blue-chip stock, the team's market value will definitely increase steadily in the foreseeable future.

Does Schultz want to sell the team, indicating that he has no confidence in the Sonics' future in Seattle?

This made Yu Fei suddenly think, wouldn't the future Thunder team be the SuperSonics?

Yu Fei doesn't know much about this history, but he believes that the Sonics leaving Seattle and Schultz are inextricably linked.

He originally wanted to return to Seattle to play in the future. Will the SuperSonics disappear in a few years?

Yu Fei can only wait and see what happens.

This year's Bucks are a strong team in the summer league. Not only do they have top college players such as Danny Granger and Salim Stoudemire, but they also have Kevin Davis, who has played in the NBA for one year. Martin Trevor Ariza.

Since the new "no hands" rule has been implemented in the summer league, Kevin Martin took advantage of it and performed as the best player in the game. The Bucks won all the way and reached the finals. Danny Granger showed off his power and slashed He scored a game-high 36 points and led the team to win the first summer league championship in team history.

The little brothers are so brave, and Yu Fei is looking forward to the new season a little more.

On the last night in Las Vegas, Dwyane Wade didn't know where he got the news, so he called Yu Fei directly to his hotel room and invited him out to play cards.

"I don't play cards."

"Brother, why don't you come to the casino and play cards?"

"Dwayne, we can have dinner together, but we don't have to play cards." Yu Fei said, "I'm not interested in this."

"Okay, it's up to you." Wade said, "I'll treat you."

If Wade wants to treat a guest, the venue will naturally be decided by the other party.

However, when Yu Fei arrived at the scene, he just wanted to turn around and leave.

Because besides Wade, there is also O'Neal.

Obviously, O'Neill did not expect Yu Fei to appear, and his expression became a little unnatural.

Yu Fei said: "Did I go to the wrong place? The only person who asked me out was Dwayne, not the damn racist fat pig."

O'Neal said to his little brother politely: "If this is the person who wants to have dinner with you, then I won't let you go."

"Shaq, wait"

Wade's original intention was to ease the relationship between Yu Fei and O'Neal, but he didn't expect that the two people had such resentment that they couldn't stay together for even a minute.

O'Neill was about to leave, but Yu Fei called him: "Stop!"

O'Neal looked over with an angry face, "What do you want?"

"Isn't it? Why can you act like you don't want to breathe in the same room with me?" Yu Fei sneered, "Have I racially discriminated against you?"

"Damn it!" O'Neal was furious. "I have already apologized for that incident! Yao also accepted my apology. I am not a racist!"

O'Neal did apologize publicly, but his attitude gave Asians with strong self-esteem like Yu Fei the arrogance of "I've already apologized, what else do you want?"

"I have to accept your apology?" Yu Fei sarcastically said, "Who do you think you are? Do you want me to racially discriminate against you? I can also apologize, I can also hold a press conference and pretend to be crazy. You will then Will you accept my apology?"

Facing Fei, O'Neal has at least three levels of dilemma.

He was in trouble on the court and was beaten violently whenever he met. He never took advantage of him.

Moral dilemma, Yu Fei never accepted his apology from beginning to end.

Honor dilemma, at first he still had three championships, but now Yu Fei has two. Their status is at least equal.

O'Neal was unable to refute. He could tell reporters that there are fools in this world, and I am that fool. When a fool says something wrong, you can't argue with the fool.

But Yu Fei's attitude was: I'm such a stupid person, I'll kill your mother first, you stupid person.

In the end, O'Neal left.

Yu Fei looked at Wade with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you, but he and I can't get along."

Wade said helplessly: "This is the last time I do this."

"It's best this way." Yu Fei said, "You have to know that I have no appetite after seeing that big racist pig, so you'd better order some good food tonight. I need spiritual comfort."

Wade said boldly: "You can do whatever you want, I'm treating you anyway."

Although Wade had good intentions and did bad things tonight, Yu Fei can give him 9 points, and the 1 point less was deducted for Aaron Gordon.
