?Chapter 794: Chapter 514 Before Naming This Era_4 Chapter 794: Chapter 514 Before Naming This Era_4 “Let citizens focus on more important matters,” that was the name of their organization and also their public slogan.
When the SuperSonics’ bus arrived at the parking lot of Key Arena, the gathering members of the organization were like a religious ceremony, chanting thunderously, “Let citizens focus on more important matters!”
Yu Fei and his entourage entered the arena under the protection of security.
Inside the arena, various major television stations from the Seattle area surrounded Yu Fei.
Many of these stations usually did not cover sports.
But now, they all wanted to ride the wave of popularity.
“Frye, what do you think about MCCAIT’s call to action?”
“I don’t care what they say, just like they never care about us. We are people from two different worlds,” Yu Fei said, “They will never understand that in this city of millions, sports are the most important part of life for a considerable number of people. But to the people of MCCAIT, that’s not ‘more important affairs.’ That’s where the problem lies.”
“Who has the right to define ‘more important affairs?’ It’s not in the hands of city officials, not in mine, and certainly not in the hands of those who just shout slogans. It rests with every citizen,” Yu Fei said to the camera. For a few moments, he shone as brightly as President O had when he delivered his New Hampshire victory speech, “Yes We Can,” two years ago. “I will fight for them, and no one can stop me!”
A great basketball star is not necessarily a great public figure.
Athletes are often two-faced.
But Yu Fei, after rising to the pinnacle, only showed his divine side to the world.
In the United States, a country that likes to deify successful people from all walks of life, his image ascended to sainthood at an unimaginable speed.
The PR manager of the SuperSonics came over and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, we have a game, and Frye needs to warm up, so I’m sorry, but the interview ends here.”
Half an hour later, Yu Fei’s words spread throughout the Seattle area.
The SuperSonics fans went crazy.
That godlike man said he would fight for them.
Then, the internet’s popularity began to explode.
“I will fight for them” became a trending topic on Twitter.
The SuperSonics’ approval rating in the Seattle area rose by 5% in a very short time.
“How many people in professional sports can dominate their world like Frye has, over the last half-century?” Bob, a famed Boston sports journalist who had been covering professional sports since the early 70s, said on Twitter, “In the past, only Ali and MJ managed it. But now, Frye has joined their ranks. From now on, let us remember this: the past decade and the one to come will be known as ‘the Age of Frye.’
Before this era officially began, “Frye” still had things to do.
James dunked so hard during warm-up that the ball flew from one end of the court to the other, caught by Yu Fei.
Pau Gasol, accustomed to going over, suddenly remembered they didn’t need that ball and was about to walk away.
But Yu Fei stopped him.
“Mark,” Yu Fei said lightly, bouncing the ball with the palm of his hand, “tell Kobe something for me.”
As soon as he spoke, Yu Fei stood behind the logo and with a standard overhead motion, he smashed the ball towards the basket at the front court.
“Bang!!!
The basketball hit the backboard and went in.
While Little Gasol watched aghast, he heard the message Yu Fei wanted him to convey.
“I’m going to score 50 points tonight.”
