This was Yu Fei's first time in Los Angeles.
Unlike the politically charged atmosphere of Washington D.C., Los Angeles felt to him like a world of glitz in the literal sense.
For a country bumpkin who had grown up in Kent, Los Angeles gave him a sense of alienation, as if "I don't belong here."
Yu Fei followed the team bus into the hotel, watched TV for a while, and saw the tough talk laid down by Shaquille O'Neal.
It seemed that the question Yu Fei had initially posed to Kobe at ABCD Camp had irked Shaquille O'Neal.
Would he really be angry at Yu Fei, who hadn't even entered the NBA at that time?
As far as Yu Fei knew, Shaquille O'Neal would.
Although he possessed one of the most imposing physiques in NBA history, his pettiness was also among the most notable in the history of the League.
Yu Fei wasn't worried about tonight's game, "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass." That was all there was to it.
