When pride still matters

Chapter 35
As soon as Gary Smith's article was published, it immediately aroused a strong response.

"The Chosen One," this resounding title is not the first time it has appeared in Sports Illustrated.

The last person to use this title was Tiger Woods in 1996, and then he lived up to his expectations and became the greatest golfer of all time, and was promoted to Nike's top brand after Michael Jordan retired.

No one will doubt Smith's professionalism, but what people wonder is why the protagonist of this article is not Kwame Brown, Eddy Curry, DeJuan Wagner and Tyson Chandler who are ranked ahead of Flying. Le.

From the perspective of talent, the three major centers are undoubtedly better than flying. From the perspective of immediate combat ability, Wagner, who previously scored 2001 points in a single game, is the most powerful high school student in the [-] class.

Why Yu Fei?

Gary Smith's explanation is poetic and romantic: "I just made the same choice as God."

From this day on, Yu Fei has never fallen out of the top 15 in major draft predictions.

Regarding this matter, Yu Fei was even more shocked than the outside world.

He seems to have accidentally stolen James' second most famous nickname?
In the first 20 years of the new century, the chosen ones in the United States referred to Woods and James, but in China, golf was an unpopular sport. No one cared whether Woods was the best in golf, and James was the only chosen one.

The reason why James got this nickname was because of an article published by Sports Illustrated in 2002.

Now, Yu Fei got this title in advance.

He didn't have any special feelings about the title "The Chosen One," but he still felt a little guilty for stealing one of James' most well-known labels. He thought of the days when they played side by side with the Oakland Sentinels not long ago. , thinking of the pieces of Akron flying pancakes made by James himself, and thinking of James saying to others, "Frye is my big brother." What a wonderful day it was?Two fatherless teenagers were happily running around on the court, proudly showing off their talents. How did things get to this point?
Yu Fei was so ashamed that he chose to go to the most famous local tattoo shop to have the words "The Chosen One" tattooed on his back before leaving Seattle.

Although the whole process was unpleasant and guilty, when it ended, Yu Fei felt that his mental strength had briefly reached the level of Grandpa Yue Fei. He thought that he had also practiced the four principles of serving the country with loyalty and loyalty in his life. Character.Now, he also has to prove that he is the genuine, unquestionable, natural and authentic son of the chosen one, unlike James and Woods.

After that, Yu Fei returned to his hometown.

Gary Smith completely opened up Yu Fei's reputation, but this year's NBA lottery draw was held in late May, which means that before that, Yu Fei still has more than half a month to prepare for trial training.

When things have reached this point, many issues have been put on the table. Yu Fei must first put his studies on hold and then formally form a team.

On the first day after returning home, Yu Fei's team was established.

There are currently only four members, namely Yu Fei himself, Quint DeMeo, Anthony Lawson and Arne Traim.

As for the division of labor of the team, it is not clear yet.

For the time being, Dimeo and Lawson's main mission is to help Yu Fei train.

But Yu Fei also hopes that they can find a platform that suits them in the future, just like James made Rich Paul become one of the most influential agents through his influence.

His son's good days are getting closer, but Yu Fenglin feels worried about gains and losses.

For the past 18 years, she has supported this small family alone. The first days were quite bitter. Relying on the financial support of her family and her ex-husband’s measly child support, and working hard at 997, where she worked several jobs, she finally earned enough money to start the store. Since then, her and her son's life has had occasional ups and downs, but overall it has been good.

However, no matter what, it is still the domain of ordinary people.

Suddenly, her son would become a million-dollar-a-year rich man, and her life would be completely different. It was like a dream.

Looking back, it only took more than a year for Yu Fei to transform from a despised softie to a "chosen one".

is this real?She didn't know how long it would take to fully accept this.Yu Fei doesn't have the same feeling of loss as his mother. The only thing he knows about this year's draft is that the Washington Wizards selected Kwame Brown with the No. [-] pick, and then, the fake dog, Scottie Pippen said, "When I come The Flying Man, who was just an ordinary guy before, started his career as a talent in the draft.

What, Jordan is not a fake dog?Huh, even if the false god conquered a generation, he couldn't conquer his most powerful partner, so why is he a dog?Imagine Dwyane Wade, Kyrie Irving, and Anthony Davis angrily criticizing James as a hypocrite after retiring. Even if they get 40000+10000+10000 in their career, they won't get my approval?

You know, even though Wade experienced the limited version of James in the 2011 Finals, Irving had an inexplicable contempt for James from beginning to end. Davis went from bad to worse after being in the park. Not only did he not usher in the "this ball." "The team is your moment" and was criticized by Chinese and foreign players in turn because of poor performance and lack of training, but the probability of this happening is almost zero.

Yu Fei stopped his fugue and made no psychological complaints about the first-generation Da Fei. Instead, he called his good brother Brandon Roy.

Unlike the prosperous Yu Fei, Roy is pessimistic about his NBA prospects.

Participating in the ABCD training camp does not seem to have any prospects for him. Although there are a few more universities offering offers, what is the use?If you don't open a back door to offers and lower the college admissions standards, what will people do to go to college?
Roy, who has no confidence in his learning ability, wants to participate in the NBA draft. But when he openly recruits scouts like Yu Fei, all he gets are phone calls from overseas scammers. Serious American scouts really have no time to waste on a Suspected to be mentally retarded - failing all subjects, what is it but mentally retarded? ——Mediocre players who are not ranked in the top [-] in the United States.

If Yu Fei hadn't heard about Roy's deeds in his previous life, he wouldn't have believed that this guy would succeed in the NBA in the future.

Really no warning.

This is a typical late bloomer player.

Moreover, the skills that allowed Roy to gain a foothold in the NBA were all developed in college.If he were to enter the NBA directly from high school, would he still have the environment and atmosphere to practice so hard?Will he still have four years to practice his internal skills?
The NBA's sinking market is no different from Shura Field. Every fringe player wants to survive in the most profitable league in the world. Leveling up is a matter for first-round picks, second-round picks and even undrafted players. That is, combat power.

"God is so unfair. We were on the same starting line a year ago. How come in the blink of an eye, you, a guy who was originally far away from me, ran in front of me?"

Roy complained unwillingly.

Yu Fei wanted to laugh but couldn't.

According to this statement, he didn't just run ahead of Roy, he was already standing at the finish line.

Why do you say that?Because Yu Fei is now guaranteed to be the [-]th pick in the first round.

No matter what, he can play in the NBA.

But now Roy just wants to seize the few opportunities and give it a try.

However, Yu Fei had just partnered with Roy in the ABCD training camp.With Roy's current ability and skill level, let alone whether he can be picked up by NBA teams, even if a team does draft him, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the NBA.

The biggest difference between college and the NBA is that it can give those late-maturing players a scientific environment to slowly improve.

Roy was like this in his previous life, what about this life?

Yu Fei does not want to change Roy's life trajectory, but now Roy is very determined to participate in the NBA draft and it is difficult to persuade him, so he still focuses on comfort.

That night, Yu Fei bought a new calendar and marked May 5st.

That was the day of the lottery draw.

⑴Well, it’s time to discuss who is the real thief between Yu Fei, S11’s Scout, and 2015’s Iguodala.
