?Chapter 983: Chapter 575: Beautiful Future_3 Chapter 983: Chapter 575: Beautiful Future_3 When the car door opened and Antetokounmpo caught his first glimpse of the mansion, he could hardly believe his eyes. The spacious courtyard was filled with a variety of plants, and the fountain shimmered with a faint glow, as if he were in a movie scene.
After getting out of the car, he followed Yu Fei into the mansion, where a blast of cool air hit him, and the carpet at the entrance was so soft he hesitated to step on it.
Antetokounmpo couldn’t take his eyes off the exquisite decorations and advanced equipment. He saw a huge television, several paintings that looked very expensive on the walls, and it seemed there was even a small home theater in a room at the end of the hallway.
The facilities in the room left him in awe, as it had all kinds of luxury items.
He thought to himself, “This is like another world. Can I really stay here?”
At dinner, Yu Fei had a meal with his family and a few teammates. Antetokounmpo was the only one who hadn’t met them before.
He was somewhat restrained as he introduced himself because his English wasn’t very good, so he decided to speak less and eat more. The table was filled with all sorts of exotic foods he hadn’t eaten or seen before, and he gradually started to eat more freely until Fei noticed the oil stains around his mouth and burst out laughing, making him embarrassedly wipe his mouth.
“Kid, why do you eat like a refugee?” Barnes joked.
Antetokounmpo smiled and said, “Before becoming an NBA player, I indeed was a refugee…”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean it that way…” Barnes realized he had misspoken.
Antetokounmpo, chuckling, said a few indecipherable words and continued eating vigorously.
He didn’t mind his past as a refugee because now he had made it to the NBA, earned big money, and his family was leading a completely different life as legal citizens of Greece. He had thought this was a heavenly life until he came to Yu Fei’s home.
He silently vowed that one day he too would own a large mansion like this and bring over all his family members.
Later, the others started discussing today’s practice match.
“Blake is out of his league.” Brown steered the conversation, “He actually thinks he can compete with Big Fei!”
Pachulia feigned neutrality while pointing out Griffin’s issues, “His lower body strength is too weak, which is a major concern.”
Barnes wasn’t interested in these matters; his upbringing determined how he viewed competition. In his view, as long as the boss was the fiercest one in the team, nothing else was a problem.
Yu Fei had already proved his ferocity today, so Griffin was no longer a concern.
“Rookie, don’t you have anything to say?” Yu Fei turned his gaze towards Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo, with a big chunk of meat in his mouth, chewed hard and struggled to swallow it.
“I don’t know,” he answered.
“You don’t know? You don’t have any questions about today’s practice match or anything else?”
“Maybe.”
“Maybe?”
“I don’t know if it counts as an issue.”
Yu Fei sighed, wishing the guy would learn English sooner.
“Let’s hear it.”
Antetokounmpo cautiously looked at Yu Fei and said, “A lot of people keep saying GOAT…GOAT…I don’t know…I want to know…why are you that GOAT?”
Everyone was silent for a second, maybe two, then burst out laughing.
“That’s the silliest question I’ve ever heard!” Brown exclaimed, “Big Fei is the GOAT! The GOAT is Big Fei! Do you even have to ask?”
It was like asking why Faker is the GOAT of LOL.
A typical rookie question that was uncontrollably amusing.
However, Yu Fei’s laugh was shallow, and upon closer inspection, one could tell he was forcing it.
He and Jordan shared the same dilemma, especially him; he once desperately wanted to dethrone the GOAT, and now that he had become the GOAT, he didn’t like being called that.
Seeing the Greek looking as if he had misspoken, Yu Fei still laughed.
“Alright, enjoy your meal!”
After dinner, Yu Fei invited the Greek to stay over at his home and handed him the team’s playbook.
“From now until before the season starts, you need to memorize at least 70% of the tactics in there,” Yu Fei said, “If you can do that, I’ll let you start.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
Antetokounmpo excitedly took the playbook, which not only included tactical diagrams but also had tactics explained in Greek for his convenience.
“Alright, take your time with it.”
Yu Fei left, leaving Antetokounmpo alone to study the playbook.
Not just that, he had also left him with a promising future.
Considering that in a previous life, he already had a promising future, what he needed to do was to ensure that this future was even better than the one that had already happened.
(1) Forget his current shooting in the league; just watch his highlights from his rookie season, and I think he was definitely held back in that area.
