Chapter 35: The Saint of Thieves
Penerjemah: 549690339
Gary Smith's article had an immediately strong reaction upon publication.
"The Chosen One," this loud title was not the first time it appeared on Sports Illustrated.
The last person to use this title was Tiger Woods in 1996, who then lived up to expectations and became the greatest golfer of all time, ascending to Nike's leading figure after Michael Jordan's retirement.
No one doubted Smith's professionalism, but what puzzled people was why the protagonist of this article was not Kwame Brown, Eddie Curry, DaJuan Wagner, or Tyson Chandler who were ranked ahead of Yu Fei.
In terms of talent, the three centers were undeniably superior to Yu Fei, and looking at immediate strength, Wagner, who had previously scored a hundred points in a single game, was the most powerful high school player of the 2001 class.
Why was it Yu Fei?
Gary Smith's explanation was poetic and romantic, "I only made the same choice as God."
