After a short intermission, Jordan signaled to Collins that he was ready to get back to playing.

Collins is eager to see the chemistry between Jordan and Yu Fei, and now is a good opportunity. Yu Fei is in good shape, while Jordan's state looks average, will the former's good state feed the latter? Maybe their relationship could be improved?

With good intentions, Collins replaced Hubert Davis to rest and let Jordan return to the No. 2 position after a long absence, and the rest of the position remained unchanged.

Yu Fei once saw netizens say in a forum in his previous life that playing with leaders is a science. Now playing with Jordan, the same reason. Let Master Qiao open his heart, it is beneficial to his development.

It's just that Yu Fei doesn't have any confidence in Jordan's state.

Jordan came up in a hurry to test his touch, so he asked Brown to cover himself off the ball on the right side.

Yu Fei never asked Brown to do any complicated cover for himself, because Brown's offensive awareness is very weak now, and his choice of cover position is worse than Bai Feng Meiyu's acting skills, but Bai Feng Chan can use his modeling to cover up his lack of acting skills, what does Brown have?

He just mechanically did Jordan's bidding, and then sent a terrible cover.

When Lue's ball reached Jordan, Dog could see that his opponent was unaffected by the cover and appeared viciously in front of him.

Jordan, who was difficult to ride a tiger, chose to force a shot, which was naturally impossible to hit.

What do you do if a teammate gives you a garbage screen that prevents you from getting out of the defense after receiving the ball? Pass the ball back for your teammates to do it all over again, instead of dribbling a few steps to find an opportunity and force a shot.

The best player of all time ignored the optimal solution and made a resolute move.

Originally, Brown was 100% responsible for this offense, and Jordan did it at least 75% of the responsibility. In the end, that goal didn't go in, and in Jordan's eyes, it was all Brown's responsibility.

"What the are you capable of doing on the field?" Jordan roared like a demon, "If you don't want to fight, get out of here!" ”

The Pistons' backup center Zeljko Rebraca C singled Jasidy White with the ball in the low post.

Rebraka is Serbian, with white skin and blonde hair, and is very present on the court, maybe that's what Pistons general manager Joe Dumas is standard for European players, tall enough to look very talented, and then have blonde hair, if not born blonde, to dye it blonde.

Rebraca's weakness fits the American stereotype of the European interior at all, and he couldn't stand up to White, who was a quarter taller than him, and actually chose to roll over and throw a jumper outside the paint area.

It's impossible to score this kind of goal!

Yu Fei returned to the basket in advance, accurately predicted the landing point of the rebound, jumped up directly to grab it, and pushed the counterattack in a hurry after landing.

"Slow down! Slow down! Collins found out he was wrong.

It is impossible for Yu Fei to have any positive chemical reaction with Jordan.

Obviously, no one has told Jordan that the strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends can be kept, even an old man who is almost 40 years old can win the league's No. 1 fast-break score, there is no more relaxed and pleasant offense than fast-break, is it the old man's job to fight hard to grind positional battles?

Yu Fei didn't understand Jordan at all, and ran as fast as he could on the counterattack.

The Pistons' attention was all on him.

After attracting the attention of most people, Yu Fei directly threw the basketball backwards into the air.

The person who followed up was Kwame Brown.

Brown, who was scolded by Jordan, was in need of a poster dunk to regain his confidence, and Yu Fei's flying cake was just right.

Brown jumped gratefully and, for safety, grabbed the ball with both hands and dunked it steadily into the basket.

"Thank you, Da Fei!"

Brown followed behind the flying ass and didn't know what he was talking about.

Yu Fei smiled slightly and did not respond.

Coach Lu said that he was also empty, why could Yu Fei see Brown behind him, but not himself outside the three-point line?

"Maybe it's because you're slower than Jassidy?" Yu Fei said sarcastically.

White laughed out loud, and Director Lu had no choice but to spread his hands.

Jordan pursed his lips, and he realized that he couldn't get it in.

Here, he seems to be the one who is isolated.

"Christian, Rip, Chris," Collins called out the names of the three starters, "get ready to play." ”

Chris Whitney has some thoughts on Collins' decision: "Frye is in control and if we are replaced now, we may not be able to sustain the momentum. ”

"Chris, you're all veterans of the Alliance for many years, do you want to tell me that you're not even as good as these new recruits?" Collins said sternly, "Young people have brought good momentum, and you should keep it up and don't let them down!" ”

A minute and a half later, the Wizards had narrowed the deficit to three points.

Motivated, Brown showed his potential on the defensive end, running from the left side of the paint to the right and delivering powerful blocks.

The ball is fanned out of bounds.

The situation is very good for the Wizards, and at this time, the technical desk reminded: "The Wizards are substitutions!" ”

Hamilton, Leitner and Whitney replaced Yu Fei, Brown and Lu.

"For us? Is there a mistake?! Brown muttered dissatisfiedly, "We're playing hard!" ”

Maybe it's because we're playing too hard that we have to change.

Yu Fei looked at Collins with subtle eyes, it was obvious that this was a smart person, and he saw Collins' thoughts.

Yu Fei isolated Jordan on the court, and whether Jordan was on the court or not, he played at his own pace. He won't give Jordan a second look on the offensive end, and it turns out that even without Jordan's involvement, the Wizards' scoring momentum remains the same.

Collins would not tolerate this kind of thing happening.

For him, Jordan's interests outweigh the outcome of the game.

This man can no longer be called a coach, he is just a slave who was taken out of the TV station by Jordan to escort himself.

'You're playing well, you're bringing energy to the team, keep it up, it's important for the team!' Collins said with a smile on his face to the three people who were substituted.

Yu Fei laughed.

It's funny, and Collins says it like a news show host who says hello to you at the beginning and then starts telling you about what happened and will happen in the world yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

After Yu Fei and them left the court, the Wizards' game returned to its original state.

The tempo is slow, very formulaic, and each offense has to revolve around Jordan and Hamilton.

Leitner's unthreatening high post stems from his own scarcity on the offensive end.

NBC commentator Cotton Fitzsimmons was puzzled by the Wizards' substitution: "If fast-paced play is working, why switch to slow-paced play? Such a play proved ineffective in the first quarter. The slow-paced game was right in Detroit's hands, as evidenced by the opening deficit. ”

Fitzsimmons predicted the decline of the Wizards.

After switching back to the original starter, the Wizards' pursuit momentum was interrupted, and Stackhouse got into the groove again at this point, looking even more terrifying than the first quarter when he beat Hamilton.

And Jordan has never been able to find the shooting touch.

Without Yu Fei, the Wizards lack the answer to the big book.

You can't throw in, you can't break through, you can't prevent it.

At halftime, the Wizards went from trailing by only three points to ending the first half by 14 points.

In the second half, when Yu Fei came back, his state was not as good as in the first half.

On the contrary, the Pistons relied on Big Ben's defense and Stackhouse's inexplicable individual offense to completely activate Dana Barros on the outside.

Stackhouse couldn't be solved in the first half, and Barros's three-point shot couldn't be prevented in the second half.

At full game, 107-79, the Wizards lost to the Pistons on the road, and the three-game winning streak was ended.

Post-match interview

"Let's not sugarcoat it, tonight was a bad game for us, we couldn't find the basket, then we couldn't get the ball in – we had a tendency in the game to complicate everything. All of this leads to our slaughter, and that's what happened tonight. We were beaten up by Fat. - Jordan's assessment of the game

"He played great. He scored a lot of goals and he had a lot of luck tonight. —Jordan on Stackhouse

'We had already established an advantage in the first half, so in the second half I wanted to help my team-mates score more, we were already so far ahead, everyone was the same. - Stackhouse responds to the question that he didn't score much in the second half

'No matter how many points we lose tonight, we have to look forward and make sure we don't have that again for the rest of the season. The Pistons showed a lot of energy and we didn't get up to their level tonight. That's why we lost. —Collins on the Wizards' fiasco

'I reflected on myself and maybe having Fry on the pitch at that point would have changed the outcome of this game, but who knows? We've got a lot of experienced players who were a bit off the line tonight but that doesn't mean it was a mistake and give me another chance and I'll do it anyway. - Collins' response to first-half substitutions

"Michael is still the same Michael, he just needs a little time. Frye Yu's performance was impressive, and if it were me, I would have let him play a few more minutes in the first half. - Carlisle on the Wizards' players

"I don't like No. 44 (Yu Fei), his mouth is too fragmentary, full of arrogance and disrespect." ——Big Ben commented on Yu Fei

"Frye, this was the first game you lost in the NBA, how do you feel?"

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Well, obviously, the Wizards lost, and you're part of the team."

"I only played 18 minutes tonight and the plus/minus was +9. Do you know what that means? It means that when I was there, we were nine points ahead of the opposition. ”

"Can I understand that you're complaining about your lack of playing time?"

"Don't get me wrong, I mean I didn't lose. We win when I'm there, and whoever loses the game you go to. ”
