Chapter 707: 489 Chapter 707: 489 He didn’t care whether his words would hurt others, nor did he care whether he was right or wrong; he just wanted to become a troll that everyone despised.

“Kwame, that account you mentioned…” Suddenly, the room’s owner spoke up, enveloping everyone in an inexplicable pressure. “Would it speak ill of KD?”

Durant felt as if his heart had been punched.

“I don’t know…” Brown looked at Durant, “KD, do you know this account?”

If heart rate could have been measured, everyone would have seen that Durant’s heartbeat had already reached 140 beats per minute.

Did Frye know?

No, impossible, he hadn’t shown any signs!

Durant looked at Yu Fei, trying to maintain a calm demeanor, “I made some foolish mistakes on Twitter… so… you know, the incident last summer, afterward I decided not to read the comments section anymore. So this account might have commented on my Twitter, but I’ve never seen him… I haven’t seen anyone.”

That sounded logical, didn’t it?

After James made his decision, Durant had made some sharp comments on Twitter and was then bitten by Yu Fei’s poison wit.

He chose to respond, nearly causing a scandal.

Everyone knew about this.

So, it was reasonable for Durant to decide not to read the comments section anymore.

To others, this was a very convincing reason.

But not for Yu Fei.

As a transmigrator, he happened to know that Durant would use fake accounts.

.co

Moreover, at first he hadn’t even considered this, he was just chatting along with Brown’s topic.

But Durant bringing it up spontaneously made Yu Fei start to think.

Well, Durant had once ranted on Twitter and then been warned by his team. Suppose he’s not the boy-next-door that Nike advertises, and like all young adults, he has rebellious blood. What would he do? I can’t say what my main account can’t say, so why not use a secondary account, after all, it wasn’t my first time, right?

Yu Fei’s expression as he looked at Durant grew more playful, like a cat showing interest in a mouse.

“Is that so? You don’t look at the comments section?” Yu Fei smiled, “So the messages I’ve been sending you over the past few months, you haven’t seen them?”

“I have seen them…” Durant answered cautiously, “There’s an extra notification for messages from people the account follows… so I saw them.”

“That’s good then.”

Yu Fei seemed not to take it to heart.

He stood up, nodded at Lin Kaiwen, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he took another jab at Durant: “KD, you should still read the comments section. The sentiment on the Internet may not represent the real public opinion, but they can let you know right away whether you’re doing well or not. Because on the Internet, no one knows who is posting messages from which account, in this situation, we can say whatever we want, don’t you think?”

Durant nodded with a flushed face that looked almost suffocated: “That makes a lot of sense.”

“There’s a tough game against Dallas tomorrow, everyone should head back to the hotel early to rest.”

Having said that, Yu Fei left.

Once Yu Fei had gone, DeAndre Jordan expressed his doubts: “Is there really someone who uses Twitter without reading the messages? Then what’s the point of using it?”

“I understand KD, Twitter almost caused him a lot of trouble at first.” Alonzo Gee dutifully started making small talk.

Then, Brown shifted everyone’s attention with a statement: “Big Fei is overthinking it, there are so many fat ladies in San Antonio, what else can we do if we don’t go back to the hotel to rest? Hit the clubs?”

Outside, Yu Fei asked Lin Kaiwen to check that account.

This task was simple for them.

As a minority shareholder of Twitter, Yu Fei’s share wasn’t large, but through this connection, having the backstage check the details of an account was effortless.

By the time Yu Fei returned to the hotel, Lin Kaiwen had sent a message.

“You guessed right.”

A brief sentence confirmed Yu Fei’s speculation.

Seeing this, Yu Fei didn’t know how to react.

One might say that the current Durant and the Durant from the previous life aligned in this regard.

Yu Fei didn’t plan to delve deeper, such matters weren’t to be discussed openly.

It was evident that Durant was under a lot of pressure, so he needed to vent his dissatisfaction in ways that were not aboveboard. Yu Fei could somewhat understand; his intention was to toughen up Durant, not to torment him.

In this world, everyone faces pressure. Some people find ways to relieve it, while others do not. If Durant’s way of relieving stress is to play the fool online, then let him. The remarks of an anonymous troll don’t hurt anyone.

However, if one day, he makes a mistake in execution that leads to a burst like in his previous life, or if his comments on his alternate accounts become too inhumane to bear, then it won’t be too late to clean house at that time.

Moreover, this proves that this backpack boy is just the latest work from the Nike Film Academy–a mirage trying to deceive the whole world.

This will allow Yu Fei to take a more direct approach in adjusting Durant’s playing habits.

The next day, the Supersonics faced off against the Mavericks in an away back-to-back game.

The Mavericks are currently the only team from Texas that can be considered a near first-tier team in the Western Conference.

Dirk Nowitzki, though repeatedly defeated in previous years, developed a new skill every time after a crushing defeat. Except for defense, he was impeccable as an offensive superstar.

Tonight, Nowitzki totally overwhelmed Bosh on the offensive end, and Devin Harris’s speed also caused trouble for the Supersonics’ defense.

Durant was in good form, but just relying on his offense wasn’t enough to win the game.

At the start of the second half, Yu Fei shifted forms, transforming from a passing-oriented playmaker to a ruthless scoring terminator.

Throughout the third quarter, Harris was like Yu Fei’s toy, getting shot over, dominated in the post, and turned into a 2+1 after breakthroughs. With his defense heavily impacted, his offense also got lost under Brown’s help defense.

With the perimeter defense broken, the Mavericks entered the “Believe in Nowitzki” phase a bit earlier.

But the Supersonics had started believing in Yu Fei even before the Mavericks reached that stage.

The results proved that Yu Fei was more reliable.

In the third quarter, he exploded against Harris; in the fourth, he duelled with Nowitzki, continuously firing on all cylinders. A perimeter star’s stamina always surpasses that of an inside star.

Yu Fei’s ball handling, pick and rolls, and sudden three-point stops were like critical hits, shattering the Dallas People’s dream of winning.

10 points in the first half, 44 in the second, ending the game with 54 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists.

Yu Fei, like a war god, overturned Dallas on their home court, leading the Supersonics to a hard-earned victory and breaking through the encirclement in Texas.

“I suspect Frye thought we were the Lakers, but I have no proof,” Mavericks’ coach Rick Carlisle said sarcastically after the game.

George Karl explained Carlisle’s confusion, “Frye didn’t think they were the Lakers. It’s just that Dallas’s home court made him think he was playing in the 2006 Finals.”

This was obviously an explanation more hurtful than being mistaken for the Lakers.

With two consecutive wins in Texas, the Supersonics gained momentum.

For the remaining games in January, the Supersonics won all their matches. The 54 points against the Mavericks by Yu Fei wasn’t the usual scenario.

He was like a male lion lurking in the jungle, poised but rarely striking, a state that evoked greater fear.

“Because he can pounce out at any moment and snap your neck,” Doug Collins described Yu Fei’s deterrent power.

After a period of high pressure, Durant started to get the hang of it and gradually adapted to his role.

He understood that the role of the small forward in the Supersonics wasn’t primarily to score; he needed to share the organizational pressure with Yu Fei on the wing.

Although he couldn’t control the game like Yu Fei, he had his own strengths. If his vision and passing weren’t enough, he compensated with his offensive threat.

Just receiving the ball made his opponents nervous; this offensive threat continuously created favorable offensive spaces for his teammates around him.

Consequently, Durant’s game began to include many feints intended for passing.

Though somewhat formulaic and potentially easy to counter, this was his way of playing, and Yu Fei could understand that.

This was Durant’s breakthrough.

Yu Fei’s new understanding of the key ball-handler role began affecting the entire team; Bosh revived, Durant optimized his play style, and players like Moro found their places, leading the Supersonics to their best games since the start of the season.

They were playing their best since Roy’s injury.

In early February, they were set to face the Lakers for the third time.

This time, it was neither as high-profile as the Christmas battle nor as influenced by many external factors as the second face-off.

Yu Fei told his teammates, “If you cause me to lose to LeBron twice in a row, I’ll send you to meet Abe Pollin.”

Brown timely joked, “I now believe Big Fei will be the last person in the world who remembers Abe Pollin.”
