When pride still matters

Chapter 279 With a clear conscience

"Da Fei, there's no need to apologize to LeBron." Lawson said carelessly, "It's not your fault that the Cavaliers lost by 45 points."

When Yu Fei heard this, his face turned dark.

"Apologise? Did I say I wanted to apologize?"

Lawson asked: "Then what did you do with him?"

Yu Fei smiled gently and said: "I know losing by 45 points in the opening game is hard to accept, but if you think about it from another angle, they exposed the problem in the first game of the new season. In the long run, , this is a good thing.”

Lawson's mind flashed back to Fei's various stunts at the Quicken Loans Center. ABC, who was not too concerned about watching the excitement, even showed James' face during the wonderful replays.

Would James think this was a good thing...?

You happily moved into the new arena and were very satisfied with the team's operation during the offseason. Everyone around you said that you were not much worse than that big flyer before. Now that all the conditions are met, it's time to officially hit the road. , launched an attack on the throne and became the supreme king of the alliance.

Then the Supreme King who is your brother comes up, stomps on your head and kills you, and asks you with a smile: Are you the only one who wants to be the Supreme King?

Is this a good thing?

"What's your expression?" Yu Fei asked when he saw Lawson's ambiguous expression.

Lawson said politely: "I think LeBron might be a little emotional."

"That's why I'm waiting for him here." Yu Feiyi Bo Yuntian said, "He is my little brother, I can't let him go home with emotions."

Lawson has something he doesn't know whether to say or not.

Da Fei, is there a possibility that meeting your little brother here will make his negative emotions even greater?

Since Da Fei had his own ideas, Lawson stopped talking.

LeBron James walked silently into the backroom hallway of the media room, which leads directly to the home team's locker room.

Seeing how worried he looked, Randy Mims didn't dare to say anything.

Rich Paul knows what's bothering James.

In the press conference just now, the media asked 50 questions related to Frye.

LeBron is on the verge of an emotional breakdown.

This made Paul even more dissatisfied with Fei.

If the Bucks hadn't caused a tragedy in Cleveland, even if they lost, the media wouldn't have gone crazy and dragged LeBron into "Fry Hell."

There is an intersection ahead. Go straight to the home team's locker room, and around the corner to the visiting team's locker room.

What James and the others didn't expect was that the perpetrator of the tragedy was standing there in formal attire with a smile on his face.

"Fry...?"

When leaving the media interview room, James' thoughts were still trapped in "hell", but he did not expect to see "hell" himself at the end of "hell".

"What's wrong, don't you want to see me?"

Yu Fei asked with a smile.

James said: "I thought you had gone back."

"I feel like tonight must be hard for you, so I wanted to say a few words to you before I leave."

As soon as Yu Fei finished speaking, Mims couldn't help it anymore: "Aren't you the one who made Bronn sad? Why are you pretending to be a good person here now?!"

Where did this stinky dog ​​come from to be so rude?

Lawson frowned. As the person who everyone said was "inseparable from Frye," he never spoke at such times.

As a follower, you have to be aware of current affairs. They have no place to talk in this kind of situation.

Yu Fei looked at the man pleasantly, "Randy, you misunderstood."

"What's the misunderstanding?"

"I mean, it's going to be hard for LeBron to be a member of the Cavaliers tonight, but as my best little brother, I think he did a great job and I'm proud of him."

"what?!"

"You don't think LeBron didn't play well tonight, do you?" Yu Fei said rationally, "He got 30 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. The reason why the Cavaliers lost so many points is ultimately because the tactical system is not good. Reasonable, so I think LeBron will be sad tonight as a member of the Cavaliers, but it's not his fault, the Cavaliers lost, and he didn't lose the matchup with me."

Yu Fei's smile gave people a kind feeling: "I am proud of having such an outstanding little brother."

It was obviously a slap in the face, but why did Da Fei say that LeBron became a lone hero tonight?

Lawson was stunned.

You have lost by 45 points, does the data still have meaning? And some of this data is garbage time...

Lawson struggled to control his expression.

"Fry, do you think there's anything we need to improve on?"

In any case, Yu Fei's words succeeded in getting James out of "hell".

Yu Fei deliberately said in a British accent: "Dear LeBron, the only advice I can give you is to let that idiot Mike Brown give you the damn ball back."

"Mike didn't think one person could make anything happen," James said.

"You can ask him what he thinks of me single-handedly taking the team to the Eastern Conference finals last year." Yu Fei said lightly.

The last bit of unhappiness in James' mind disappeared. Frye was right. The Cavaliers' problem was that their style of play was unreasonable.

When the team drafted him, they were prepared to build the team around him the way the Bucks built around Frye. His former coach Paul Silas did the same thing, but the new boss felt that Silas was an incompetent head coach. He had to lure Mike Brown from the championship team with a lot of money, and Brown used the 03 Spurs to be invincible offensively and defensively. The story of Duncan eventually losing to the Bucks with the Big Three persuaded him to give up the ball.

Although James is reluctant, as a third-year player, he can make some sacrifices for victory.

Then he was defeated by Da Fei.

As a result, he found that this defeat might allow him to regain the ball. His mood began to improve, and he even accepted Yu Fei's questionable but useful words.

Putting aside the 45-point loss, he had 30 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. This was a non-combat crime.

"Fry, I know you don't actually need to say this to me." James said gratefully, "Thank you, you are my true friend."

It feels so good to be sincere for sincerity.

Yu Fei smiled and said: "LeBron, it's a pleasure every time I play against you. I hope you won't lose 45 points again next time we meet."

James laughed angrily: "Fry, I'm really angry if you say this again..."

The two laughed for a while and parted happily.

After Yu Fei left with Lawson, Mims next to James said dissatisfied: "If the Bucks lose 45 points tonight, I'm sure Frye will never say you are his little brother again! He Gonna hate you as much as I hate Michael!”

James said calmly: "Randy, you can't assume something didn't happen."

Mims rattled, "LeBron, I know him so well! That's who he is!"

Unlike Randy Mims, Rich Paul has more complicated things on his mind.

"LeBron, I remember Bob (agent) said, for the sake of long-term development, you should not continue to let Frye call you little brother."

James' face was still expressionless: "I know."

"He said that on purpose." Paul looked at James, "The elder brother is above the younger brother, and the younger brother is always inferior to the older brother."

James still said: "I know."

Paul thought James didn't know the seriousness of the problem: "How many times did he emphasize this matter in these few sentences? LeBron, we can't let him keep pretending like this anymore!"

James looked at the direction Yu Fei left, and there was no one there.

The two die-hard brothers around him were anxious. They didn't know what kind of ecstasy was poured into this guy who was always calm and rational.

"Fry is two years older than me," James said. "You all know he's a man who speaks his mind. I don't care what he says, and that's the basic way our society works."

James smiled: "This is America, we have freedom of speech."

Paul stopped talking. He knew that James had his own ideas and opinions.

Maybe, he still misses Frye's old feelings of helping him in the past, but as long as they are still playing and competing, as long as Frye represents Reebok and LeBron wears Nike, the result of competition will be conflict. Once the conflict begins, the game between brother and brother is over.

Whether they want this to happen or not, there is a force in this world that will completely turn them against each other.

Unfortunately, Yu Fei’s relatives and friends and James’ relatives and friends will all become part of this force.

"Da Fei, sometimes I really can't understand you."

"What don't you understand?"

Lawson asked: "Why do you care so much about LeBron?"

I just made him embarrassed at home, you said I take care of him?

"Because he's my little brother."

Yu Fei answered habitually.

Lawson said nonchalantly: "The cats and dogs around him disrespect you so much, which shows that he doesn't usually treat you as a big brother."

"Yeah, listening to what you said, I know why my relationship with LeBron seems fragile sometimes. It's that there are too many bastards like you around us who talk nonsense all day long."

Lawson laughed: "I don't have time to gossip. Didn't you see the look on the faces of those people around LeBron? They are the assholes."

Yu Fei thought of Randy Mims' attitude towards him.

They say they call him brother offline and call him a dog online, but this Mims looked like he was going to eat him in person tonight. I don’t know how many bad things he has said about himself to Xiao Zhan.

No matter how much sincerity there is, it becomes vulnerable in this situation.

Yu Fei stopped outside the visiting team's locker room and said to Lawson: "No matter what, I have no regrets about LeBron."

Lawson nodded in agreement.

"Also," Yu Fei said, "from today on, don't say bad things about LeBron."

"He can't hear it anyway..."

"I don't want to hear it," Yu Fei said, "If you say anything bad about him again, I will trade you to the Clippers."

Lawson: "..."
