Chapter 737: Chapter 498: Countdown to the Fall of the Empire (Combined) Chapter 737: Chapter 498: Countdown to the Fall of the Empire (Combined) After the Supersonics defeated the Spurs, the media close to them began to feel optimistic about the future.

“The Seattle Times” wrote, “Tyronn Lue may not be the best successor, but he is definitely the most suitable coach for Frye after George Karl, because only he knows how Frye emerged from basketball hell in D.C.!”

Such a definitive stance was easily vulnerable.

“The Los Angeles Times” quoted this view, “In that case, Kwame Brown could also become the head coach of the SuperSonics.”

“The Washington Post” joining the fray turned this media debate into an incredible unintended comedy.

The Post suggested the Supersonics hire Michael Jordan as coach.

Because, rather than letting those who suffered with Yu Fei become coaches, why not just go straight to the source of the suffering to create entirely new hardships.

Moreover, the Post’s reasoning was particularly sound, “Based on Frye’s experiences after leaving D.C., we can conclude that trolls create hardships, and those who remain unbowed in suffering will create great things. The heroes who create greatness will eventually turn into trolls bringing suffering. To break this eternal historical cycle, we bring the hero back to the place of suffering, so that he may be reborn from adversity a second time!”

The media jokes revolving around “The Seattle Times” view dissipated with the arrival of another sports event.

The golf god “Tiger” Woods, who was disgraced at the end of last year due to a cheating scandal, held a press conference arranged by his management team.

The conference was broadcast nationwide, watched by numerous people, including Yu Fei.

For Reebok, Woods’ downfall was the sign of Nike’s sports empire crumbling.

Because Woods was the only GOAT athlete who shared Nike’s fortunes, but after the scandal, he lost over 200 million US dollars in endorsement fees, Nike indirectly lost 100 million dollars, and now he had halted his own participation in the game, he also owed the public an apology, and an explanation for his mistakes.

This was the most dramatic scene, as Yu Fei had previously “predicted” Woods’ scandal, and when asked by reporters about Woods’ next step, he said, “I have nothing to say before he plays the sex addiction card.”

Sure enough, Woods admitted in this press conference that his extensive list of affairs was due to a psychological issue that required treatment…

Before the incident, the last tweet sent out by Yu Fei was about the Internet’s discussion of witches.

Yu Fei said, “Why are the legendary witches always depicted as female figures, and we believe they are always naked and evil? Because the damn men spread these stories.”

This tweet received thousands of replies, all from Yu Fei’s fans.

However, after Woods’ press conference, the number of replies soon exceeded ten thousand.

“Witch doctor, what should Tiger do next?”

This reply not only filled Yu Fei’s Twitter but quickly topped the trending searches.

Woods’ commercial myth had burst with a swiftness that left no time for cover-ups, and Nike had no remedy, yet the one driving this pace was Yu Fei.

It could have been anyone, but only Yu Fei could amplify the damage indefinitely.

Yu Fei’s meddling made those watching Woods’ myth unravel wonder–was Frye Yu the only remaining sports hero?

This notion might no doubt have offended Michael Phelps, Federer, Nadal, and the incomparable Bolt, but being an American and the sport one plays are important. Phelps is a god underwater, but swimming only piques people’s interest when world competitions loom, as for the others, being non-Americans means they are not seen as sports heroes by Americans.

For most Americans, sports are their left and right hands, the left is football, and the right is baseball; basketball and hockey are secondary. But the god of baseball passed away half a century ago, and the most significant pop culture he left became just a footnote in history with the Red Sox winning the World Series at the beginning of the century. Football has no gods, people might spend a lot of time arguing whether Brady or Montana is better, but the reality is that American football’s influence is limited to its home country.

For a sport to produce a deity, it must have cross-regional influence, and basketball has stood out in this regard. Jordan’s myth grew alongside the globalization of the NBA, leaving a unique mark on several generations. And Yu Fei, he carried the curse of a deity since his debut–Jordan personally traded him to Milwaukee, then was proven to be the NBA’s most foolish trade. It only took him nine years to match Jordan’s honors, and now, with just one more step, the debate over GOAT would end.

If we say television media killed traditional journalism, then the arrival of the internet era is fated to kill the news media that has thrived for half a century.

This was Yu Fei’s chance to surpass Jordan.

Nike did everything in its power to stop this from happening. Woods’ achievements in golf were comparable to Jordan’s, but now, a person burdened with scandal could not compare to the bright and young deity.

As Nike’s stock prices and appeal of their products fell, Reebok’s market value and products experienced a surge.

The spirit behind the whole affair, Yu Fei, was oblivious to the changes around him.
