?Chapter 810: Chapter 519: Not a Follower_2 Chapter 810: Chapter 519: Not a Follower_2 The stars of popular American TV shows have influence only within the sphere of the shows they participate in. Once the series end, their influence as television stars ends too. Over the years, there have been few TV stars who have managed to cross the dimensional barrier between television and film, the most famous being Jennifer Aniston. For Christina, she cherished her current influence, but she also had to establish her position in Hollywood before the “Mad Men” series.

The halo of “TV Personality of the Year” shattered reality just as quickly as LeBron James once thought he was as exceptional as Frye.

But Frye seemed to have no intention of bringing her into his empire.

Just when Christina was feeling disheartened, Yu Fei said, “However, if I really have to play myself, I’d still like to recapture the feeling from those days. Although I can’t have Number 23 play himself in my movie, maybe I can try to have Christina play herself in my movie. How old was she then?”

Without a second thought, Christina said, “26 years old.”

“And now?”

“35 years old.”

...

Yu Fei leaned close to Christina, “Can the 35-year-old Christina find the chemical reaction she had at 26 in me?”

“You’ll find out tonight.”

Christina’s brightly colored red lips landed on Yu Fei’s face.

Yu Fei suddenly understood many things.

Why he couldn’t maintain a steady relationship, why so many Hollywood actresses came and went in his life, ultimately leaving him for feeling insecure.

They indeed felt insecure, but most importantly, those women who ventured into Hollywood were surely some of the most calculating, calculating, and opportunistic women in the world. How could they stick to a relationship that offered them neither security nor any benefits for their future?

(Omitted…)

Everyone’s nightlife is different.

As Yu Fei revisited old dreams, LeBron James was facing an all-out bombardment from print news, television media, and internet public opinion.

The third game of the Western semifinals was James’s second below-average performance in this round of the series.

People didn’t know why a player universally recognized as among the top three in the league kept underperforming.

What was he facing exactly?

Especially after insisting his offense was fine following a game where he made only 6 out of 16 shots, claiming he could score over anyone’s head, which triggered a tsunami of public reaction.

“LeBron claiming he can score over anyone after going 6-for-16 is absolutely insane!”

Bill Simmons responded immediately on Twitter.

And the defiance he showed in front of the media was not James’s final act of madness for the night.

Before going to sleep, James saw his Twitter had been flooded with insults from Fei fans.

This ignited the ancestor-instilled rage within him, and he suddenly adopted a “to hell with the world” attitude, tweeting, “To those who hate me, you can keep hating. Your words do not hurt me in the slightest. When the sun rises again, you will see that I am still living the life of my dreams, while you hustle and scurry to pay off debts you’ll never be able to. Hate me all you want, I don’t care about your judgement. #keepitreal #TheKingisTheKing”
Tonight’s game produced a classic photo.

Taken by Sean Duran of the Associated Press.

It was at the end of the third quarter, as the Supersonics established a lead of more than 20 points, Yu Fei walked past James, ignoring him with a look of disdain.

The moment they brushed past each other on a level plane, Duran pressed the shutter.

This historically significant moment was captured and became the iconic moment of the game, featured on the cover photos of multiple media outlets.

After James posted his tweet, Kwame Brown, as a follower, didn’t know what to say, so he responded with the photo.

This act led Fei’s fans to follow suit, and image after image of “Big Fei Contempt.JPG” appeared under James’s latest tweet.

“These clowns!”

James muttered under his breath, then shut down his computer, telling himself not to care.

Professional sports are like this, the winners take all.

Once he won, this damn fan frenzy would quiet down.

Hours later, James managed to fall asleep.

It was a rare moment of peace, but upon waking, the world’s malice would come flooding back.

James was extremely disciplined, something he always took pride in because Yu Fei was not known to be a disciplined man in legend.

No matter how much sports medicine and recovery advanced, to taste the dividends of the era, one always needed to take good care of themselves.

Those who recklessly indulged in their youth naturally experienced a steep decline after the age of 35.

Every morning, after James had breakfast and then went into the weight room for some basic training, he couldn’t help but think that Yu Fei was probably still fast asleep at this time, which completely energized his spirits.

However, today, someone in the team was even more diligent than him.

Kobe and Artest had woken up earlier than him.

When he arrived at the gym, the two of them were already drenched in sweat.

“Good morning.”

James greeted them.

“Bron, you finally got up, you know? Kobe woke up before dawn!” Artest babbled, “He was kept awake by the crazies outside the hotel!”
