Chapter 664: Chapter 474 I Can’t Tell the Difference Either_2 Chapter 664: Chapter 474 I Can’t Tell the Difference Either_2 For organizations like MCCAIT, this was the very situation they were trying to avoid.

In crowds, they chanted slogans and carried banners that read: We pay taxes not to make the rich richer!

To those in the sports community, they seemed like beings from another world.

Suddenly, they broke through the dimensional barrier between serious social issues and sports narratives.

The leaders of the protest wanted to get close to the Supersonics players and question them on why they couldn’t pay out of their own pockets.

This was not something that the ever-so benevolent Kevin Durant could handle.

The people at Nike never taught him how to maintain his image in such situations.

However, they indeed taught him how to respond to situations they didn’t know how to handle.

Durant almost robotically said, “I need to learn more about the situation.”

“The situation is simple!” the other side pressed, “You guys made 260 million US Dollars last year, and now taxpayers have to shell out 250 million US Dollars to build you a new arena. KD, please answer me in the name of God, is there any fairness in this?”

The money didn’t fucking go into my pocket!

Durant almost wanted to roar out loud.

But God, that’s not something Kevin Durant would say.

“If this matter is unreasonable, you should set up your demonstration in front of the city hall, not here giving a hard time to this young man who can’t understand the situation.”

Yu Fei suddenly came over and started a nimble on-the-spot debate with the other side.

Their rapid exchange was so intense that it reminded people of presidential debates.

“Let me tell you once again! Even if the city government passes the financing plan, the funds will come from the citizens of Seattle! This means that before implementing the financing plan, a public vote must take place to raise the funds. Only with the support of the citizens will the funds be in place. You have no influence over this matter; the ultimate decision lies in the hands of the citizens!” Yu Fei said sarcastically, “Instead of harassing us, you should think about how to damage our image in the eyes of the citizens. Even if you can’t achieve that, you shouldn’t make it difficult for KD. He’s the fans’ favorite player, making him embarrassed publicly won’t benefit your plan.”

“However, with your level of intelligence, it might not be easy to understand this.”

The Supersonics left.

This was just one of the many confrontations Yu Fei had with MCCAIT.

But it was the first time his teammates saw how he debated with organizations like MCCAIT.

People on the bus couldn’t help but wonder, if it were me, could I win the debate?

Many realized for the first time that Yu Fei was not only the stabilizing force on the court, but also a guardian off it.

Can such a person, carrying burdens far beyond what ordinary people could handle and with the reputation of “emperor,” truly feel happy?

Was Durant grateful to Yu Fei for the rescue?

A little, but not much.

Because more than gratitude, what touched Durant most was Yu Fei’s freedom to act.

He could say whatever he wanted, do whatever he wished, without being bound by the shackles of morality, after all, he professed to be a man without morals.

The media’s personal attacks, questions about his character, and dissatisfaction with his behavior stopped years ago.

Because they realized that however much they denied Yu Fei, they couldn’t stop his success.

If he had stayed in Milwaukee, that would be one thing.

That kind of small place, even if he became the god of Milwaukee, no one would object.

But coming to Seattle, it was a place where commercial value could be realized tenfold and where the media’s influence could not be manifested a hundredfold.

Unable to deny him, they could only elevate him.

Thus, Yu Fei’s character flaws and problems with people and things were suppressed by the public opinion that one should not nitpick a winner.

From then on, Yu Fei had no shackles.

Durant enjoyed playing the good guy, but the biggest drawback of being a nice guy is that you can’t give sharp responses to critics like Yu Fei does.

Because such responses are usually offensive.

A good person should swallow their own bitter pill alone rather than making others uncomfortable, even if it means being offended oneself.

Is this what life should be?

The Supersonics’ first loss of the season came in the fourth regular-season game.

Moreover, it was an upset.

The opponent was a rebuilding Memphis Grizzlies team.

The core player for the Memphis Grizzlies was Joakim Noah, a frantic player who easily reminded one of Garnett.

Tonight, Yu Fei was off from the outside, so he had to frequently attack inside.

But Roy was even more off than Yu Fei, missing shots and unable to break through, leading to disorganized play which in turn affected his passing.

Durant, however, kept a normal shooting touch.

But Roy had formed an inertia.

If he felt powerless in the game, he’d just give the ball to Yu Fei.

Unfortunately, Yu Fei was frequently stuck in one-on-one situations on the weak side, hence he seldom passed the ball.

Chris Bosh was silent too; you can’t expect someone who had given up taking on the responsibility of a leading player to suddenly stand out when the main function fails.

But what really had an impact on the game was Kwame Brown.

Tonight was another scoreless night for Kwame.

That was mainly because he played for only 11 minutes and was fouled out before the playmakers had a chance to feed him.

Brown and the Grizzlies’ Iranian center Hamed Haddadi had a severe conflict.

It started at the beginning of the second quarter when they were jostling each other; as a traditional center of full size, Hadadi had an obvious physical advantage over Brown.
