The opening game was an easy match for the Supersonics.
Although the Timberwolves were listed among the "most likely to be championship contenders in five years," Greg Oden didn't seem ready, and Westbrook was painfully transitioning to point guard.
After the game, reporters asked Yu Fei what he thought about the comparison between Durant and Oden.
That made Yu Fei realize that he didn't have much of an impression of Oden tonight.
The point that could be argued for Oden was that he had just recovered from minimally invasive surgery and wasn't fully adjusted yet. However, as a 20-year-old, he walked like a 35-year-old veteran.
"It's too early to draw conclusions,"
Yu Fei said.
Then, another reporter asked, "In two days, you'll be playing at home against the Cavaliers, and you'll also be holding the last championship ceremony at home. Will seeing LeBron and Shaq affect your mentality in such an occasion?"
