Silent Love

Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. 
Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players.
This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost…

Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters

How often will a LeBron James, devoid of desire, appear?


Before he traveled through time, Yu Fei's understanding of James was mainly from his time with the Lakers, which was already in his twilight years. Although he still seemed to possess the strength of a top 15 player in the League, it was far from his peak. He had to rely on things like nonverbal defense, launching fast breaks early, and staggering substitutions just to maintain stats comparable to those of his prime.


James's desire to control the game was strong, and he was hungry for stats. Could a man who had self-proclaimed himself as the King since high school truly become devoid of desire for the sake of a championship?


This version of James was unfamiliar to Yu Fei.


After the timeout, the Lakers brought Kobe back in, while James took a rest on the bench.


On the Supersonics' side, Coach Lu did not have the courage to substitute Yu Fei. He could only plead with Yu Fei to hang in there.
