Chapter 239: The World After the 5th Match

The day after the Bucks won the King of the Hill battle, the media heaped praise on Yu Fei's epic individual performance in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The New York Times called it "great." Sports Illustrated considered it "immortal." In just one evening, Yu Fei had earned the highest accolades because people believed that even for someone like Jordan, this would be classified as a top-notch performance.

No one was more pleased with Yu Fei's performance than Reebok's CEO, Paul Farman.

Last summer, Farman had led the support to re-sign Yu Fei with a record-setting offer, but not everyone inside Reebok was as confident in Yu Fei as Farman was. Some within Reebok thought Farman had spent too much money on Yu Fei. But after Game 5 in Milwaukee, all the skepticism disappeared.
