Chapter 650: Chapter 469 Yu Fei’s Incredible Discovery (Union) _4 Chapter 650: Chapter 469 Yu Fei’s Incredible Discovery (Union) _4 From the data, he was the foremost figure in modern basketball.
What reason did you have to resist him?
If his skills couldn’t convince you, if his skills couldn’t make you submit, then the only thing you could do was leave.
Listen to his words, play the way he liked, he led you to success, helped you earn big contracts and attention, and then you could live in peace.
Kwame Brown was the one who understood Yu Fei the most, so he could roam freely within Yu Fei’s empire.
His boundless arrogance could be tolerated by Yu Fei.
Because he was willing to help Yu Fei defend, willing to set screens for Yu Fei, willing to exert all his energy to let Yu Fei accumulate stats.
But could Durant?
The way Yu Fei treated him was harsh, Durant rarely received praise, and once he made a mistake, the wrath of the Thunder would fall upon his face.
Which time was Yu Fei most satisfied with him?
It was during his rookie season when he was provoked by Paul Pierce and cursed at the referee.
After that, that version of Durant disappeared.
He hid it well, as if that demon KD had never existed.
After two consecutive successful seasons, Durant had molded himself into an unprecedentedly good figure in NBA history, the ambition of Nike stirring, would this bring structural impacts to the Supersonics?
Although Karl did not agree with Yu Fei’s camp pushing the “empire” narrative, his career was firmly tied with Yu Fei.
Yu Fei had to keep winning, so he had to help monitor all the unstable elements within the team.
According to Karl, the biggest instability was the influence of the “one-man empire” narrative on the team, followed by the changes in Durant during his third professional year.
Did he change?
He arrived early at training camp, greeted everyone warmly, and then diligently participated throughout the day.
On the opening day of training camp, he kindly took the rookie Alonzo Gee around the camp and said to Gee, “You can try everything, I only give you one piece of advice, don’t say no to Frye.”
“Can I meet Frye today?”
Durant smiled mysteriously, “He’s the only one who can say no to the training camp.”
“He’s not coming?”
“He’s just coming in a few days.”
“That’s great!”
For Durant, the fact that Yu Fei wouldn’t be arriving for a few days was the real “that’s great.”
On the third day, Durant scored 40 points in a scrimmage, and after the training, he asked George Karl, “I would like to have a media friend enter the camp.”
“Can you tell me his name?” Karl asked.
Durant replied, “Bill Simmons.”
Simmons was an enemy to Yu Fei in public opinion but also Durant’s biggest supporter in the media.
In the years Greg Oden dominated the draft rankings, Simmons was the only one firmly supporting Durant.
Karl said, “KD, I can give you time off, but I can’t let him into the camp.”
“I understand, coach.”
Durant truly was a good man, and he didn’t make things difficult for Karl.
“I don’t need time off. After the training tomorrow, I’ll meet him outside for the interview,” Durant said with a clear gaze, “Coach, I won’t make things difficult for you.”
Can I trust this kid?

Karl recalled how Yu Fei treated Durant.
“Go ahead.”
Karl said.
The attitude of Yu Fei might not explain a lot, but it at least proved, in treating Durant, Butler and the young master had come together.
Yu Fei didn’t believe in existence, and neither did Karl.
