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

Spurs being eliminated, there was plenty of discussions about Duncan's actions before he left the court.


At that time, with his back to the camera, Duncan pointed with one hand to the sky, it was unclear whether he was indicating "I'm coming back for another year," or "this is it for me."


Yu Fei was the only person who knew the answer, and he didn't harp on the emotions.


Perhaps for Duncan, he was a special competitor, blocking his championship dreams twice and defeating him multiple times during his Seattle days.


Even though Duncan's teams eliminated Yu Fei's team twice at the end of his career, it did not offset what he lost.


But for Yu Fei, there was no competitor that made him feel, "Oh, it's a pity to retire, I can no longer compete with you."


If forced to name one, it would be Jordan.


In hindsight, the retirement ceremony in 2003 seemed slightly lacking.


Thus, Yu Fei could calmly bid farewell to Duncan.
