Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters Chapter 728 728 495

Chapter 728: 495 Chapter 728: 495 Following that, Wade, as if intentionally looking for trouble, called out Yu Fei by na and scored with a drive to the basket.

“So we don’t play defense in the All-Star ga anymore, GOAT?” Wade mocked.

Next, Yu Fei and Jas both stood in front of Yao Ming, asking for the ball.

Last round, it was Yu Fei’s turn to take the ball according to Yao Ming’s ‘sharing the cake’ theory, so this round it should go to Jas.

However, after Yao Ming activated his skill “Read the Room,” he felt that stabilizing Young Master Yu’s emotions was the more pressing priority.

So he passed the ball to Yao Ming.

“Yao!!!” Jas called out, puzzled, “It’s my turn!”

...

Yao Ming said, “Not anymore.”

“What happened to fairness?”

Yao Ming shalessly said, “The GOAT is about to commit murder. Go ask him for fairness if you want—I sure as hell won’t.”

“FUCK!” Jas exclaid angrily, “I don’t give a damn what he thinks!”

So Yao Ming ran forward and relayed a ssage to Yu Fei, “LeBron says ‘FUCK you’.”

“Since when did you beco a ssenger eunuch?”

Yu Fei’s conversation with Yao Ming made Wade think he had an opportunity to steal, so he decisively moved up to go for the ball, only to be surprised as Yu Fei turned, leaving his defense behind, took a few aggressive steps forward, and burst under the basket, where Howard wisely gave way, greeting the audience with the most violent dunk of the ga so far.

When the caras from various TV stations zood in on Yu Fei, the whole world clearly saw him hurl an Arican curse word at Jas.

Even non-native English speakers could guess what he said to Jas just by the shape of his mouth.

“Unity is not the the of the Western All-Star Team.”

“Indeed, they don’t even bother to hide it in front of the whole world.”

“Frye is just showing the world how much he despises LeBron.”

All the major TV stations gave their assessnts of this scene.

Only a few people knew that Yu Fei was simply retorting.

From then on, the situation within the Western All-Star Team beca chaotic.

Everyone was scrambling to inbound the ball, ready to curse and swear at each other for the role of passer.

This unusual state of affairs led the head referee to complain to Karl, “If you don’t control your players, I’ll have to use my ways to shut them up!”

After receiving instructions from the referee, Karl, under the guise of maintaining team atmosphere, subbed out Jas and brought Nowitzki in.

Hilariously, the head referee said to a grinning Yu Fei after Jas left the court, “You’re the worst All-Star team I’ve ever seen!”

Yu Fei replied with a smile, “Don’t say that, King. We might just be the best All-Star team you’ll see in the next ten years.”

The head referee had thought the All-Star ga was supposed to be entertaining, but the internal strife of the Western All-Stars was like a satire of his words, “Who plays a traditional All-Star ga these days?” It was a show of discord and disunity right in front of a global audience.

“Especially you!” the referee complained, “You always pick the wrong ti to hold a grudge!”

“Don’t say that, King. LeBron said ‘FUCK’ to first, I’m just returning the ‘FUCK’.”

“Enough, Frye!”

“Lighten up, King, this is the All-Star ga, we’re here to have fun…”

Karl laughed from the sidelines.

Clearly, Big Fei was using this stage to relieve his own pressure.

He was truly ‘playing,’ only in other people’s eyes, he was playing too hard.

His status in the ‘underworld’ allowed him to be willful on the court; this was good for him. Ever since Roy got hurt, he had been too tense.

Now, seeing Yu Fei bickering with Yao Ming on the court, trash-talking Jas, clashing with the Lakers camp, and even tangling with Wade from the other side… this was the state a superstar in his pri should be in.

After Jas was subbed out, the Western All-Star Team normalized considerably.

Kobe battled fiercely alone, no longer vying for control of the ball, while Yu Fei said to Durant, “I’ll handle Dwyane. If he targets you, just call for a pick and roll.”

Only then did Durant start to get into the right groove.

He began to score thodically and settle into the ga.

Once Yu Fei matched up against Wade, Wade lost interest in troubling Durant.

He wasn’t really interested in Durant in the first place; he just wanted to bump into Yu Fei tonight.

Kobe wasn’t left out in the cold, either.

Although Yu Fei had his differences with Kobe and Jas, the only one he couldn’t stand was Mr. Jas; with Kobe, he was still willing to play along for the show.

As the ga went on, Yu Fei felt that Yao Ming’s big ‘sharing the cake’ theory was quite profound.

How could he keep Yao Ming happy while playing, give the host Nowitzki face, share leftovers with Kobe, yet not hinder Durant from getting the AMVP?

The answer was impossible.

Because if he managed to do three out of those things well, the audience there would have a strong visceral feeling: You can share the cake like that? You’re so incredible, just give the AMVP to you!

After one quarter, Yu Fei, who had no intention of competing for the AMVP, found himself in a tricky situation.

He got 6 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists.

Rember, these were stats from just one quarter.

Even though Durant scored the team’s highest of 10 points, it was trivial in front of such comprehensive numbers.

Subsequently, Yu Fei rested while Jas played, ushering in the Lakers’ showti mont.

Jas confidently took control, as if to prove that his understanding of the big picture was no less than Yu Fei’s.

However, Jas was, after all, biased.

He wanted an AMVP even more than Durant did.

In his third year, Durant could hardly wait to bring ho a trophy with MVP on it, and seven-year veteran Jas, of course, wanted to mark this special season with his first MVP.

Even if it was the least prestigious AMVP, it was still a good on.
