Retiring One After Another, Kevin Johnson Retired Too! In everyone's eyes, whenever Barkley made any major decision, Li Fei would be the first to know.
No one had expected that Li Fei would know absolutely nothing about this earth-shattering retirement decision.
Faced with Sprewell's agitated and shocked questioning, Li Fei slowly stopped what he was doing.
He raised a hand and steadily caught the rebounding basketball, his fingertips brushing over its pebbled surface. There was not the slightest hint of surprise on his face.
Sunlight streamed through the training facility's floor-to-ceiling windows, falling across his sharply defined profile and lending it a tranquil, composed air.
After two seconds of silence, a knowing smile slowly curled at the corner of Li Fei's lips.
His tone was calm, without the slightest ripple.
"He really didn't tell me."
Sprewell's mouth instantly fell open, his face full of disbelief.
"My God! He even kept it from you? This is way too sudden!"
Li Fei nodded lightly, his eyes concealing a clarity no one else possessed.
Others could not understand this sudden retirement. They could only be shocked by it and regret it.
But as a transmigrator, he knew the truth perfectly well.
This was not Barkley's real farewell at all.
It was merely the first retirement of his career, a brief departure made on a whim.
With Barkley's personality, he could never truly let go of basketball, nor could he let go of the court where he had battled for more than a decade.
The so-called loss of passion and his advancing age were merely excuses he had come up with on a whim.
Before long, that proud, stubborn fat man would be unable to stop himself from regretting it, putting his jersey back on, and returning to the court.
He knew Barkley too
