When pride still matters

Chapter 354 LeBron is probably dead
52 is better than 41
This was the final score. Yu Fei led the white team to defeat the red team with 24 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

But what was impressive was not the victory of this red, white and blue coalition against the star-studded red team, but Yu Fei's continued dominance throughout the 20 minutes of the game.

In this game, he destroyed the starting No. 3 position in Old K's mind.

James was like Cersei who was paraded through the streets in the fifth season of "Game of Thrones". He was humiliated by Yu Fei in the most horrific way, but there was no way he would respond by blowing up the cathedral like Cersei did.

At the end of the game, James didn't speak to anyone and went straight to the locker room.

For the emperor, who had lived a life of flattery and flattery since he was 15 years old, this was his worst loss.

Even the night when Yu Fei scored 70 points on his head, the impact would not be greater than today.

Because the current Dream Team has assembled all the stars that can be assembled, including famous superstars like Kidd and Kobe, as well as Mesozoic stars who are at the same time as James or a few years earlier than him, as well as Durant, Oden, etc. The new generation who is highly optimistic.

Not to mention the media members gathered at the scene.

Every media outlet you could name was present.

"If Frye is our first choice at the third position, what about LeBron?" Boeheim thought of James' experience today and couldn't help but lament that fortunately the person who had a position conflict with Yu Fei was not his beloved Guagua.

As the head coach, no matter how much Old K admires James, after watching this game, he has already decided to let Yu Fei be the starting three position of the US team.

Therefore, being embarrassed here is not just about making a fool of yourself. Soon, what happened today will spread throughout the country.

Especially when he saw James being beaten up by Yu Fei on the spot and humiliated in front of most of the elites in the American basketball world, he knew that Yu Fei had won what he wanted.

"Well, almost." Bosh said rigorously, "Not much."

Although Gua is very social, Da Fei's path is too scary.

After winning the match, Yu Fei walked off the court and said to Bosh: "How did I play?"

Old K's chief assistant in the national team is Jim Boeheim, the veteran coach from Syracuse. He is known as the only person in the US team who can open up Carmelo Anthony's inner world.

Substitute? Boeheim asked: "Are we going to let him take Tyshawn's place?"

The defeat of three consecutive World Series has made the Americans understand that the good days of gathering a group of stars to sweep the world like in the past are over.

Therefore, if you want to choose between James and James at the third position, then you must arrange a strong defensive all-rounder as the substitute for the third position. This can not only enrich the personnel structure, but also optimize the tactical play.

Bosh didn't want to use insulting words to describe James' failure. The most important thing for a person in the arena is emotional intelligence, especially for a star like him who is neither high nor low. It's best not to get involved in the dispute between James and James. The battle between gods.

"I don't know, Jim." Old K said helplessly, "The biggest problem is, I don't know if LeBron is willing to accept a substitute."

Bosh laughed: "I think LeBron's reaction said it all."

"His reaction?" Yu Fei didn't care what James' reaction was, "Does he look like a lost dog?"

As Anthony's college coach, Boeheim certainly hopes that Anthony can start in the US team. Therefore, when Yu Fei refused to be the fourth position and competed with James to start at the third position, he was excited.

Now, Boeheim wants to know what K's next plan is for James.

Especially after losing to Greece in the World Championships last year, the US team realized more deeply that it is not enough for the stars to have a tacit understanding with each other. The playing style must adapt to FIBA, the lineup must be reasonable, and it must look like a team.

However, Yu Fei had just defeated James, which made him unconsciously make a choice between the two.

What he can be sure of is that the wing lineup of Yu Fei and Carmelo Anthony will sweep the world.

Yu Fei walked aside to rest, and the match was still being discussed.

However, Old K now actually wants James to play as a substitute?

Boeheim's question is, does this make sense?
But what Old K is thinking about is, is James willing?
With his outstanding performance in today's competition, Durant, who had already booked a flight home, was successfully promoted to the melee team.

But Durant didn't feel that he had any performance today. He just played pick-and-rolls and shot three-pointers, 4 of 2 in the game. Apart from this, there was nothing eye-catching. It was not as good as Kwame Brown who was unyielding in the face of Howard. Even though the whole game was suppressed, he still had 6 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Durant received the most praise today for his defense. He actually "firmly guarded" Carlos Boozer.

However, Durant knows what the truth is.

Boozer didn't play well at all. He took a walk on defense, and after attacking the pick-and-roll, he stretched outside the three-point line. But he had no outside range at all, so what's the use of stretching?
Therefore, Boozer's performance throughout the game was mediocre and he also played a negative role, constantly complaining that he couldn't get the ball, but even if he got the ball, he didn't play.

Boozer's poor performance accidentally fulfilled Durant's reputation for being both offensive and defensive, but Durant also knew that being transferred to the melee team was mainly done by those with scheduling rights for Yu Fei's sake.

Durant believes that Yu Fei can influence the rosters of the three teams, because even Kwame Brown is rumored to be transferred to the senior team.

Therefore, as soon as the training was over, Durant followed Brown to find Yu Fei.

Then, they found that Yu Fei was playing cards with Bosh and the others.

It's a pity that this superstar who was in hot form during the day and basically never missed a shot was not very good at playing cards. He quit after losing a few games. "Why are you here?" Yu Fei asked, "Are you here to play cards?"

Brown said: "Rookie wants to thank you for helping him get on the white team."

"What's there to be thankful for?" Yu Fei said with a smile, "You don't think the white team is a good place, do you? The people in that team basically serve as sparring partners for the red team, and the probability of being promoted to the red team is very slim."

Durant is well aware of this, but he is still very grateful to Yu Fei because the potential team is about to be disbanded.

This group of people is mainly preparing for the 2010 World Championships and the 2012 Olympic Games. This gathering is mainly for the US team to get a feel for it in advance.

Except for Durant, only Aldridge from the potential team was promoted to the white team, and everyone else has to prepare for a flight home.

But if they leave, the only games they can play are the summer leagues. The intensity is very different from the training team of the US team. Every young player who wants to improve himself will find a way to stay.

After that, more and more people came to play cards.

When there are too many people, the conversation starts to get louder and the conversation inevitably ends up talking about things during the day.

"If I were LeBron, I would just leave." Anthony played his cards and said happily, "The big fly is too much."

Opposite Anthony, Deron asked: "Why didn't you say anything when Da Fei was here just now?"

"Because..." Anthony thought for a while, "Even if I say Da Fei, I won't change it."

"So, where is LeBron? I haven't seen him in a while."

"do not know."

"Maybe dead."

The laughter in the poker room was one after another. This just illustrates a very simple truth. Everyone likes to add insult to injury and take pleasure in the suffering of others. Even Emperor James, in this world where he no longer bears the name of the chosen one, once he is If you knock him down hard, many people will be willing to step on you.

LeBron James has an extraordinary memory.

"Sports Illustrated" once wrote a personal feature on him. In the interview, he mentioned something he did during a certain possession in a game, and that was a game a few years ago.

But sports reports have been accustomed to portraying those stars as gods a long time ago. Even if they have not graduated from high school, they can still talk like philosophers. Even if they cannot even finish reading a book, they can have the talents of top universities. Not possessing outstanding memory.

James may not have a photographic memory, but he certainly doesn't forget things.

In the hotel room, several core figures from James' camp were present.

Their faces were as ugly as James's.

When Yu Fei broke with James after he signed, they were all excited, because from now on, Bron no longer had to take into account the brotherhood. But they never thought about what would happen if Yu Fei no longer cared about friendship.

"These damn idiots!" Maverick Carter is the CEO of James' media company. Now, he is angry at the reports that disparage James. "We gave so many benefits and made so many conveniences, but in exchange for their betrayal! Damn it, we will refuse interviews from these people from today on!"

The only person who can still think calmly is Rich Paul, and he is also the fastest person to accept the fact that "LeBron is not as good as Frye".

"LeBron, I think maybe you should put the national team aside."

James looked at him with neither joy nor sorrow: "Go on."

"No. 44 has had special training in the past few years. If he participates in the national team training, he will not have time to develop his personal skills. LeBron, this is our problem." Paul said, "You need more time To hone skills, but now we are trapped in the national team competition tasks, we have to waste two or three months every year for this, if you spend a few years to improve yourself like Frye, I believe."

From on the court to off the court, James has sought every means to give himself some tricky angles to surpass Yu Fei.

However, Yu Fei's success on the court soon made him sweep the public opinion field.

In the end, the only thing worth mentioning about James than Yu Fei is his patriotism.

But once he doesn't even play for the national team, he has nothing left.

But what if this is the only way to catch up with Yu Fei?

"Frye proved with a dominant performance that the dream team was worth the wait." - The New York Times

"Jerry Colangelo believes that Frye Yu will lead the American team to regain its glory. Does this prove that we are about to see the first Asian Captain America in history?" - "Seattle Times"

"Fry Yu officially became the starting three position of the red team on the third day of training. His performance is still wonderful. It is worth mentioning that LeBron James missed today's training due to injury. Coach K does not know It’s unclear when LeBron will return, but he’s optimistic about LeBron’s return.” —ESPN: Chris Sheridan Column
