This was a sudden public opinion assault.
Once Yu Fei's fans and media friends reacted, a fierce online debate became inevitable.
Because the issue had blown up, even Yu Fei voiced his perspective on Twitter to explain that he had not directly influenced Anthony's decision.
Yu Fei emphasized that he and Anthony would hang out during their national team commitments, and their main interactions were off the court.
As for on the court, he and Anthony didn't really have a deep relationship.
Regardless, Yu Fei was inevitably tied to this matter.
After the Nuggets management failed to persuade Anthony, they had no choice but to reluctantly put him on the trading block.
The chain reaction triggered by Anthony shifting from an untouchable player to a tradable asset was unimaginable.
Because if the Nuggets decided to tank, many players in their roster could become reinforcements for playoff teams.
The Spurs were interested in Chauncey Billups.
