From mid-July to mid-August, Yu Fei had been participating in the shooting of "Iron Man 2", but before the shooting started, he requested that Marvel prepare a basketball court for him, as he couldn't go an entire month without playing basketball.
For Marvel, this was no problem.
Yu Fei even hosted a small training camp during his breaks from shooting.
Kwame Brown, Jermaine O'Neal, and Alonzo Gee, whom the Supersonics had selected as their second-round pick that year, all joined in.
Brown also basked in the reflected glory from Yu Fei, landing a small role as a passerby with one or two lines in "Iron Man 2".
If the theme of the sports world in July was James's "Decision" and the subsequent impact of that "Decision", then by August, the basketball world had returned to the "main plot".
