Collins didn't arrange for Yu Fei to play the No. 4 position to punish him.

Because the Knicks' No. 4 position Kurt Thomas is a light No. 4 position in the contemporary era, weighing only 230 pounds, which is about the same as Yu Fei's 227 pounds (103KG). It's just that Yu Fei will not feel that the confrontation ability of the two sides is at the same level because the other party is about the same weight as himself.

Yes, strength is tied to body weight, but each weight has a theoretical maximum strength.

Yu Fei's focus this summer is to gain weight, and Thomas, a veteran who has been playing for many years, in addition to maintaining weight, the most important training is to maximize himself to approach the limit of the maximum strength and core strength that he can have through a lot of bench press and deadlift training.

This is what Yu Fei can't compare with at present, and it is also the reason why Thomas must have an advantage in the confrontation with Yu Fei.

However, Yu Fei does not intend to play against Thomas like an insider.

Since Collins asked Yu Fei to gain an advantage in the counterpoint, he must have a reason.

If before he played against Sprewell, Yu Fei was still a little uncertain about the intensity of the NBA, then now, he has no doubts.

After a hard work in the offseason, he fully reached the NBA level.

Under Doug Collins' system, the number four position is a tactical pivot point, perhaps not the most important, but an essential part of how the system works.

Therefore, arranging for Yu Fei to play the No. 4 position is essentially that Collins has recognized Yu Fei's ability.

This also has something to do with the Wizards' barren lineup, if Leitner can't fully play the role of the pivot point of the No. 4 position because of his selfishness, who else can he rely on? I can only try to see if Yu Fei can work in the fourth position.

Yu Fei took the ball, faced Thomas in the high post, and raised his hand to call Popayer Jones to come to block the dismantle.

Thomas didn't know much about Fei, so when the pick-and-roll arrived, he still didn't think Yu Fei had the ability to pierce the Knicks' position.

In just the blink of an eye, Yu Fei used Popeye's block to get rid of Thomas, accelerated past Felton Spencer's help defense, and rushed to the basket to complete the dunk.

"Frye Yu, another dunk!"

"The first and second shots this young man made in the NBA were dunks."

"Does that imply that his shooting isn't consistent?"

Yu Fei inexplicably feels like Ben Simmons. In fact, his shooting is not bad, although it is not stable enough, but it can already be used as a regular offensive means. It's just that Yu Fei's current status in the team is very vague, on the one hand, Jordan's substitute, and on the other hand, Collins wants to give him a chance but takes Jordan into account. If it weren't for Lightner's personal vendetta, Collins wouldn't even have thought of the idea of indirectly giving Yu Fei a central position in the No. 4 position.

And Yu Fei will not play as he wants because he has temporarily become the axis of positional warfare, so he will try to complete the attack in a way with higher certainty.

In this case, an unstable shot is Yu Fei's last choice.

That's why he plays like Ben Simmons.

Back on the defensive end, Kurt Thomas wants to ravage Yu Fei with his strength advantage.

However, Yu Fei firmly remembered Collins's advice, Thomas only had the ability to shoot outside the paint area on the left side, so he didn't care about Thomas's right attack, but resolutely did not let him go to the left.

Thomas didn't want to show weakness in front of the rookie, dribbled with his right hand, and threw a shot against the defense after receiving the ball in front of the basket.

"Bang!"

Popeye Jones took the rebound and handed it to Yu Fei.

The moment Yu Fei took the ball, he saw Richard Hamilton who was fast at a glance, so he made a long pass directly.

Less than four seconds later, Hamilton countered and scored on a fast break.

"It's a loss for the team that you don't start." Hamilton likes Yu Fei's passing.

How to give a comfortable pass to a teammate is both a learning and a skill, which requires the passer to fully understand the habits of his teammates.

Yu Fei didn't know why he was able to pass the ball comfortably, for him, the only pass object that needed to be seriously considered was Kwame Brown, and the others, as long as they looked at their movement state, knew what kind of pass to give.

Then, the Knicks' counterattack arrived.

Ratriel Sprewell easily broke through Tyrone Nesby and drew a foul on Jones after scoring the basket.

Sprewell's style of play gave Yu Fei a strong sense of disobedience.

Why? is obviously a generation that grew up "watching Jordan play in the basement", but his style of play is not Jordan at all? Richard Hamilton's obsessive long two-point jump inside the three-point line is something he'll never do. Sprewell's style of play is no different from that of a player from the small-ball era.

Three-point and breakaway, resolutely not shot.

That's why he dares to chase down threes in the fast break of more and less, and that's how he plays.

Sprewell made both free throws.

Chris Whitney dribbled across half court and passed the ball to Yu Fei in the high post.

Yu Fei called Jones again to block the dismantle.

The Knicks' defensive strategy has changed, and in order not to give Yu Fei a chance to hit the basket directly, Thomas and Felton Spencer chose to force the bag in the high post.

Yu Fei didn't know why they did it.

Although he looks ugly and his shooting moves are ugly, Jones has the ability to shoot.

Is Jones betting that he won't be able to find this open teammate in front of him?

It doesn't make sense!

Yu Fei raised a high pass, and Jones received the ball and shot in an empty position.

"Huh!"

"Bo Pai (nickname)," Yu Fei laughed, "It's so disrespectful for them to let you go so far!" ”

"That's right, I'm angry."

Jones responded to Yu Fei with a straight face, and then used his actions to show how bad it was to make him angry in the rest of the defensive round.

Sprewell is addicted to porcelain, and Nesby, as an interior player in the No. 3 cameo position, simply has no ability to guard him.

Yu Fei, the first step of a madman, has been taught, and it is so fast that people can't react.

When you encounter this kind of person, you really have to pull the defense back and make a little space to show respect.

Nesby didn't seem to know how to defend the perimeter, and was one-step in the last round and continued in the next round.

As a result, Sprewell laughed at his defensive holes and burst in again to find Jones, and this time, Jones didn't let the madman touch the porcelain, and a powerful block slammed the ball to the ground.

Yu Fei got the out-of-control basketball and was about to break fast, but Thomas slapped it hard with his hand and successfully interrupted the rhythm of the game with a tactical foul.

"Is this a tactical foul?" Yu Fei asked with his stinging hand.

The referee didn't want to deal with it, and Thomas sneered in a bird's stance: "Yes, kid, this is a tactical foul in an adult game, if you don't like it, go back to school and play your high school basketball!" ”

"Fry, don't mind." Whitney was worried about Fei Hongwen.

They had seen this teenager go crazy.

After that day, Leitner never had trouble flying too much on the training ground.

Moreover, except for Jordan, there are no veterans who play tricks on Yu Fei anymore.

Everyone knows that Yu Fei is a person with a very low "threshold".

"I'm fine." After Yu Fei finished speaking, he ran to the front court.

Is it really okay?

Whitney didn't believe that Yu Fei would give up, and when he dribbled past half the court, he saw that Yu Fei did not follow the tactical arrangement and took the initiative to be in the low post.

It seems that Yu Fei's position is very simple, Thomas's counter-grab is very tough, with Yu Fei's card skills, core strength and tonnage, it is impossible to completely occupy this position.

Whitney gestured for Yu Fei to come high to get the ball.

And Yu Fei shouted at the top of his voice: "Pass the ball over!" ”

It's risky to pass like that, but Whitney is a veteran and has a lot of experience and knows how to pass the ball in times like this.

Whitney's ball is in place.

The moment Yu Fei received the ball, his head turned to the left, but his body drove the ball to turn to the right, which happened almost at the same time, Thomas was deceived by the first action, and the center of gravity of the defense shifted to the left, which completely collapsed his defense.

Yu Fei turned inside on the right side and cut in, not only throwing Thomas's body behind him, but also attacking further inside, Felton Spencer wanted to make amends, but he was too bulky to stand in the best position at the first time.

Most of the inside lines that became the backdrop for poster dunks were caused by the time difference, and Spencer was just a beat slower, and Yu Fei, whose body was flying like a rocket, held the ball high above his head to complete the third dunk of the night.

With a loud bang, Spencer, who could neither stop the flying basket nor keep his body in his center of gravity, lay backwards after losing his balance.

Yu Fei's hand gripped the basket tightly, did not fall to the ground, and looked back at Thomas, "This is the defense of the adult game?" Let your teammates pay for your incompetence? ”

Thomas naturally couldn't tolerate a rookie insulting himself so much, and sprayed back on the spot, and Yu Fei always had an advantage to ride his face, and continued to laugh at Thomas for causing his teammates to be dunked, but the referee couldn't bear it anymore and blew technical fouls on both sides.

Doug Collins looked at Jordan with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing Yu Fei like this, Jordan felt a little better, it turned out that "anti-Mike" was not aimed at himself, he did this to everyone.

"Let him come down and calm down." Jordan looked at Kwame Brown, who was fascinated by Fly's performance, "I think Kwame has sat down enough on the floor. ”
