Chapter 945 945 563 GOAT Doesnt Care
?Chapter 945: Chapter 563 GOAT Doesn’t Care Chapter 945: Chapter 563 GOAT Doesn’t Care Not long after Yu Bufan was born, the NBA’s preseason training camp was about to begin.
Yu Fei had wanted to take leave from his team to spend more time in Los Angeles; however, Elizabeth Olsen believed, “A leader cannot just leave their post.’
Yu Fei smiled at his fiancée, “You seem to understand being a leader even better than I do.’
“Anyway, the baby won’t know that his dad left home shortly after he was born.’ This statement sounded somewhat ambiguous.
Yu Fei felt like he would be seen as the kind of scum who only fathers children without taking care of them.
“I can stay.’
“But for how long can you stay? The new season is about to start, and besides, there are many things you can’t help with…’
Elizabeth put it very tactfully.
The situation was such that in a household like theirs, apart from themselves, they also employed chefs, nannies, and bodyguards.
Most of the time, they don’t need to care for the baby like typical parents do.
Therefore, the most Yu Fei could do for his child was not changing diapers or lulling him to sleep, but making funny faces to make him laugh.
To tell the truth, this was indeed a highly replaceable role.
In the end, Yu Fei still reported back to Seattle on time.
The only consolation for Yu Fei was that Elizabeth would bring the baby to Seattle to stay for a while after he turned four months old.
This presented Yu Fei with an even more practical problem.
With the season being long, would he only be able to spend time with his child during the summer before he retired?
As a promising young actress, Elizabeth’s career focus was definitely still in Los Angeles, especially since she was a Californian to begin with.
In the long run, Seattle no longer aligned with his interests.
This was a more realistic problem, but Yu Fei had not yet thought that far ahead.
In late September, Yu Fei joined the SuperSonics’ preseason training camp.
The team was still the same team, but fewer familiar faces remained.
Grant Hill had retired, Kevin Durant had been traded, and Chris Bosh had headed to Cleveland; these changes had a decisive impact on the dynasty team.
However, seeing Yu Fei appear at the Furtado Center, everyone seemed to have seen the hope for a fifth consecutive championship.
As long as the GOAT is there, hope remains.
‘Frye, everything all right?’ Tyronn Lue came over to greet warmly.
Yu Fei replied, ‘Couldn’t be better, how’s the team doing?’
‘Not bad.’ Lue made a special mention of Stoudemire, ‘Amar’e is in great shape.’
Yu Fei was not as optimistic as Lue.
Although Stoudemire, as one of the few early players to have recovered from minimally invasive surgery, was indeed a reason to be optimistic, as a player who relied on his physical abilities, suffering an ACL injury after the age of 30, even if he recovered, could he regain the level of his prime?
In Yu Fei’s memory, Stoudemire even played in the CBA towards the end of his career, which demonstrated how drastic his decline had been.
‘What about Brandon?’ Yu Fei asked next.
Lue responded, ‘He’s got a minor injury, but it’s nothing serious.’
Both the team’s second and third leaders were injury-prone, which made the season look very promising indeed.
Yu Fei decided to go and greet Stoudemire first.
As one of the representative high school players, Stoudemire had made a name for himself; at his peak, he was unquestionably among the top ten players of the league. Unfortunately, despite being a great pick-and-roll player, he never thought to use his talent to improve his defense, which was key in limiting his progress.
Now he was older and had suffered a major injury; Yu Fei didn’t have high hopes for him.
‘Frye, long time no see.’
Stoudemire was very enthusiastic.
Out of ten points, how much do you feel you’ve recovered?’ Yu Fei inquired.
‘To be honest with you,’ replied Stoudemire, ‘I feel like it’s only three or four points.’
That was terrible news; people like Stoudemire, if they were confident, would never say they had only recovered 3-4 points.
The situation might be worse than expected.
‘Stay optimistic, it will get better.’ The temporary pessimist, Frye Yu, said so.
Then, Yu Fei went to see Roy.
Roy had arrived yesterday and had pulled a thigh muscle during the first training session.
‘How is my godson doing?’ Roy asked. ‘Why didn’t you bring him back to Seattle?’
Yu Fei sarcastically retorted, ‘I’m becoming less and less keen on having you as his godfather. You don’t seem like you’ll be any help. Babies under four months old can’t take flights, and you should know that, being a father of two.’
‘My children have been in Seattle since they were born,’ Roy said, implying something else, ‘They don’t need to fly back and forth.’
‘Too bad then, I’m a Kentite.’ Yu Fei made a stark separation, ‘In my hometown, capable young people take pride in ‘making their way out.’
That’s how the GOAT is when he needs the aura of a Savior, he and Seattle are tightly linked. Now that everything is done, he’s got other ideas in mind—that’s when he remembers he’s a Kentite.
‘Have you made a decision yet?’ Roy asked.
‘Not yet,’ Yu Fei said, ‘but I eventually need to consider this realistically.’
Roy expressed understanding.
They didn’t continue the subject.
The SuperSonics now showed signs of a dynasty in decline.
The second in command was transferred, the third in command left, and filling their vacancies were a young prodigy and a returning All-Star from a major injury.
Even without discussing the downgrade in star quality, the SuperSonics’ roster of role players was actually pretty decent.
In the backcourt, there were Beverley, Livingston, and Danny Green.
