Chapter 703: Chapter 488: They are all right (combined)_3 Chapter 703: Chapter 488: They are all right (combined)_3 Brown asked, “Then what are we doing?”

Little O laughed, “We’re just playing ball.”

“Says the guy who didn’t play a second tonight,” Brown retorted sarcastically.

The locker room became noisy again.

George Karl observed everything.

Just when Yu Fei had taken all the blame on himself, Karl was puzzled. There were many ways to take responsibility, so why choose one that undermined his own authority?

Then, Karl understood.

There were too many empire lackeys in the locker room.

Yu Fei just needed to drop a word, and they would deconstruct it in their own ways.

As long as Yu Fei didn’t seek retribution, everyone wouldn’t be going home with their hearts in their throats.

Accepting defeat calmly was a lesson that had to be learned in professional sports, even if the defeated opponent was someone you never wanted to lose to.

So, was all this just an act?

Was Frye leading the team in his own way?

Could he foresee what would happen in the locker room after he left?

Or had Brown and Little O been in cahoots with Frye from the start?

Karl didn’t know, but it was a relief that the locker room atmosphere could recover quickly after losing to the Lakers.

After all, he was annoyed too.

Everyone was talking about Yu Fei’s broken winning streak against LeBron; little did they know, his winning streak against Phil Jackson was also over. Who considered that?

Karl was likely the only one in the Supersonics organization who would lose sleep tonight.

Yu Fei didn’t care about the broken winning streak against James; he cherished it dearly.

Yu Fei sat in the backseat while a fully armed bodyguard drove.

Lin Kaiwen asked, “Do you really think you were the first one responsible for tonight’s loss?”

“If I had made more assists, we would have won,” Yu Fei responded.

“If KD had played better, you guys would have won too,” Lin remarked.

“Is KD ‘The Chosen One’?” Yu Fei asked, “Has anyone called him the creator of an empire?”

Is sharing honor and disgrace a criterion for becoming a god?

Lin didn’t think so.

Even though that’s how Yu Fei felt, a god’s servant naturally blamed those who were a drag on the god.

In just a few hours, Durant had already been blasted into Twitter’s trending searches.

Chris Bosh was also questioned, as he failed to dominate against the Lakers’ weak power forward.

Self-proclaimed “Greatest Interior Player of History” Kwame Brown became the target of everyone’s arrows.

This season, Brown’s strengths had not extended, and his weaknesses were more pronounced under the Supersonics’ system.

As teams studied the Supersonics, they noticed that the offensive system basically turned into four against five with Brown on the floor, because after a pick-and-roll, the plays either relied on outside shooting or penetrating finishing abilities depended wholly on Yu Fei and Roy, the master playmakers.

With his short arms and small hands, he was very “picky,” unable to handle average plays.

Therefore, facing the evolved class of interior players like Pau Gasol, brought by the early arrival of the “three points, spacing, and speed” era, Brown seemed pointless.

After tonight’s defeat, Brown who ended up with 0 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 fouls, was ridiculed.

How could the Twitter King bear this? Channelling Klay Thompson from across the decades in the 2020s, Brown faced any critic with “I have four rings, what do you have?”

However, Durant was the main target.

Since no one had high hopes for Brown, with Yu Fei scoring 64 points, Durant’s 7 out of 22 with only 19 points was unacceptable under any circumstances.

This is the biggest difference between the virtual world and reality.

Yu Fei was lenient with his teammates in the locker room and took the blame upon himself, while his teammates lined up to face trial in the military court of Cyberspace.

This was a feature of the era of social media.

Everything was magnified, and no one was spared.

Yu Fei went to visit Roy.

The first thing Roy said when they met was, “Don’t you think you were a bit too contentious with the referees tonight?”

Yu Fei replied, “I noticed.”

“You didn’t trust your teammates enough in the second half.”

“Correct.”

“You only had four assists for the whole game.”

“That’s why we lost.”

Roy looked at him strangely: “You’re so good at accepting criticism, that’s not like you.”

“The doctor told me that agreeing with a patient helps them recover faster.”

Yu Fei’s joke made Roy laugh.

“I know you need me, but I definitely can’t catch up with the regular season,” Roy said, “You guys need to be prepared that I can’t come back in the regular season.”

The Supersonics had announced that Roy would make a comeback after 6-8 weeks.

According to this timeline, he could return in April.

But now Roy was saying he couldn’t catch the regular season, so Yu Fei thought there had been a new development.

Roy explained, “The surgery went smoothly, but the outside expectations for my recovery time were a bit optimistic.”

They went back to discussing the game.

“You maintained a winning streak against LeBron for seven years, and now it’s over, aren’t you a bit upset?” Roy asked with a smile.

“No,” Yu Fei looked at Roy disapprovingly, “but I am upset at getting cold remarks from someone lying in a hospital bed.”

“Are you jealous? Buddy, this is a privilege earned by tearing a meniscus; if you like, you can join me as my sick buddy.”

“It seems you really want to see KD win the scoring title this season.”

“Isn’t that exactly what he wants to do?” Roy said, “It seems he’s benefiting the most from my injury.”

Yu Fei ended the conversation with a mischievous joke: “Whether it’s him I don’t know, but he sure turned into a sunny and cheerful big boy after your injury.”

Of course, tonight was an exception.

After getting home, Durant was busy fighting with trolls on Twitter using his burner accounts.
