Chapter 1135: Chapter 627: Silence is Golden_3
This situation is especially suited to receiving a lesson from a strong team.
The Clippers, eager for a holiday, didn’t show any courtesy.
They went full throttle from the start of the game.
Due to the Clippers’ terrifying three-point threat, the Celtics had to adopt extreme defense–like, giving up two-point defense to strictly guard the three-point line.
As a result, attacking the basket became incredibly easy for the Clippers.
“We’ve reached the point where we’re willing to give up some two-point shots, even baskets, to prevent corner threes,” Celtics’ young commander Brad Stevens told ESPN. “The disruptive power of three-pointers in turn nurtures the space for two-point shots.”
However, these remarks couldn’t make the Clippers reduce their firepower.
The resisting Celtics ended up being thrashed with 146 points.
Yu Fei, Antetokounmpo, and Jokic each tallied 30 points.
This fully showcased the Clippers’ frenzy in the game, and in an era where defense is limited, just how explosive the scoring pace of space basketball can be.
“Frye, how do you respond to some retired coaches accusing you of ruining the basketball game?” a reporter asked, “They think scoring in today’s games is too easy, two-pointers are like lining up for layups.”
Yu Fei had a deep disdain for these old-timers stuck in the past, but he couldn’t blow up on the spot, so he kept a straight face and said, “I can only suggest they go play golf; it’s harder to score there.”
The All-Star weekend break has arrived, but Yu Fei still can’t take a holiday.
The more there are no NBA schedules during the holiday, the busier he gets.
The next day, Yu Fei, together with his agent Ratner, and the nominal Clippers president Quentin DiMio attended the Warner forum in Los Angeles.
Although Yu Fei’s main business is still basketball, his media empire is already in full swing.
Thanks to his Hollywood connections accumulated at Marvel, his media company is thriving.
For this reason, DiMio, the Clippers’ president, was brought back to also serve as the CEO of the company. After all, he is most familiar with this business; although nominally the president of the Clippers, the real decision-maker is Yu Fei, who is just the figurehead president.
As Steve Ballmer put it, it’s like he pays DiMio five million US dollars a year to “do nothing.”
This is a joke, particularly popular within the Clippers.
Because everyone knows who the real power holder is.
For Yu Fei, this forum might just be the real “All-Star Game,” as it was attended by executives from companies like Google, Amazon, Verizon, Facebook, and Twitter.
DiMio announced several ambitious TV programs at the forum, including two sitcoms and a reality show about Yu Fei’s life. Even without a systematic script, NBC still purchased the rights to the show for a high price.
Deals like these will reach multiple agreements today.
Listening to these plans, Yu Fei could fully anticipate how busy he would be after retirement.
“Do you want me to drop dead before I’m 50, Quint?” Yu Fei asked his partner in crime.
DiMio laughed, “No, you’ve had a brilliant sports career. I just want the next 20 years of your life to be as exciting as the last 15.”
“Don’t talk as if I’m already retiring,” Yu Fei could imagine life after retirement, “I just want to enjoy my break, but you keep dragging me to work.”
Enjoying the holiday.
Yu Fei doesn’t see anything wrong with saying that, since which player isn’t enjoying the All-Star weekend break?
But suddenly, he wondered, how long had it been since he last said that he really enjoyed the games?
He reminded himself to say such things more often, not to let people think he’s preparing for retirement, after all, it’s still early days.
As a result, when the League showcased this year’s AMVP trophy on social media, Yu Fei wanted to curse.
There were many obvious personal insignia on the trophy, with the most recognizable being the number 44.
Was the League making a trophy with personal characteristics as a retirement gift for him?
But wait, he hadn’t decided to retire this year.
“Does it mean that if Frye wins this year’s AMVP, he’s going to retire?” Kwame Brown raised this question.
Yu Fei retweeted his tweet: “That’s a question.”
“Wait, but what if Frye doesn’t want to retire? Should he not take the trophy?”
“That’s a bigger question.”
Yu Fei continued interacting with Brown.
Then, Brown got spirited: “But if Frye doesn’t take the trophy, then who can? Can Frye miss out on this trophy made especially for him? I can’t help but wonder, does Adam Silver actually want Frye to retire?”
Yu Fei stopped the interaction.
Because sometimes silence is louder than words.
Maybe the League had good intentions, but those damn incompetents made a mess of it.
