On November 26, the Wizards hosted a rematch with the Celtics.

At present, the Celtics are 5-5 and ranked sixth in the East, while the Wizards are 3-8 and 13th in the East.

The Wizards, who have suffered an eight-game losing streak, are looking for a win in this game, just like the previous eight games.

Wanting to win and being able to win are two different things.

Before the start of the game, Doug Collins made his strategy clear for tonight, which was to be based on defense.

When Yu Fei heard this strategy, people were dizzy.

It is known that the first core of our Wizards is the 38-year-old Jordan, and the second core is Hamilton, who defends 10,000 people, and the two regular starting interior lines are one slow and one soft, and then you have to defend more ruthlessly than the Celtics, who really use defense to clear the haze of the Pitino era?

This is a good idea to make the Wizards go on a nine-game losing streak!

Before the start of the game, Yu Fei could obviously feel that Jordan's body was uncomfortable.

It's still a cliché, his tenosynovitis.

The problem has always been there, but it was covered up by Jordan.

Tenosynovitis is an injury that requires a full rest to heal slowly, but Jordan has been on full duty so far this season, playing more than 35 minutes per game, and he has not played less than 37 minutes in a game of eight consecutive defeats. Collins was the only one who could save him in this matter, but he who believed in the Bible betrayed the Lord before Jordan.

He had only two options, to risk a rift with Jordan and forcibly control the latter's playing time, or to pretend that Jordan's body would be forever young.

For Collins, offending Jordan will never be one of the options.

Yu Fei originally thought that Jordan's tenosynovitis would allow him more playing time, but he was wrong, this was Jordan, a tyrant who would never show strength over others. But even if he is strong, the effects of tenosynovitis are still persistent. 20 years later, when Leonard rested and gave up the game countless times for unknown reasons, and when James opened the smart groin, fans basically adopted a mocking and sarcastic approach to this behavior.

As for Jordan, he can also turn on intelligent tenosynovitis, rest when facing strong teams, and go all out when facing weak teams, but he doesn't.

Aside from his conceit and pride, Yu Fei couldn't think of any reason that drove him to do so.

Regardless, Collins' strategy of looking like suicide worked as well as it should.

Jordan, who had only one leg and tenosynovitis, played 45 minutes in this game, and although he shot only a miserable 25 percent, he also shot just over 30 percent on the opposite side of the field. Hamilton was useless in this kind of game, shooting 4-of-16 on the offensive end and being seen as a weakness on the defensive end.

Collins remembered Yu Fei again and replaced Hamilton with Jordan in the second position and Yu Fei in the third position.

In the last 30 seconds, Yu Fei dribbled the ball and looked at Jordan, who could barely stand up, he was too tired.

The Wizards without a timeout must rely on the players to make their own decisions.

Yu Fei's decision was to let himself play this ball.

Holding the clock, he raised his hand and called for Lightner to block it.

He knew that Lightner wouldn't give himself a particularly good pick-and-roll, but he didn't expect this fool to hang a fake pick-and-roll, only do a superficial effort, and go down in an instant.

Lightner's fake pick-and-roll brought Yu Fei a bag clip.

Yu Fei dribbled along the weak side, made a sharp stop, turned around, grabbed Antoine Walker's loophole, forcibly broke the bag from the right side, and came to the free throw line to collect the ball.

"Huh!"

“！ ￥@￥%”

The MCI Center went into a frenzy, and the home DJ roared Yu Fei's name.

“Flyyyyyyyyy！！！”

The Celtics called a timeout and gave the ball to Pierce in the final seconds.

Tonight's Pierce felt suppressed, Yu Fei's defense was under no pressure, blocking the strong side hand, not giving the opportunity to shoot easily, in the end, Pierce could only get a strong shot, hit the iron, and the game time was zero.

80 to 78

The Wizards, sitting at home, ended their losing streak with an ugly game.

Yu Fei played 26 minutes tonight, scoring 14 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, and the final shot increased his shooting rate to 50%.

In addition to Kwame Brown, who came off the bench, Yu Fei was the only player with a 50% shooting rate in the whole game.

"Happy Thanksgiving, we love you, !! Fry"

“Flyyyyyyyyy！！！”

The fans excitedly showed their love, and Yu Fei also smiled and waved at them.

Later, NBC's frontline reporter Benjamin Schneider said he wanted to do a short interview.

Yu Fei agreed, and it just so happened that he also had something to say.

"How does it feel to end a losing streak?"

"It's good."

"This is the second time you've won a game since the opener, and never before in the history of the NBA has a rookie been a key player for the team in such a short period of time."

Yu Fei didn't need this kind of customized data, so he responded: "I just did a little bit of work. ”

"You played 26 minutes tonight, which was the most minutes of your rookie season, what does that mean for you?"

"It doesn't mean anything," Yu Fei's tone and attitude changed significantly, "I'm still a substitute." ”

Schneider is a seasoned journalist, and Yu Fei's "guided" answers immediately made him think about what to ask next.

It's not in the plan, but since the player wants to make a big news, as a reporter, whoever can give himself traffic is God's media person, what reason does he have not to cooperate?

"Since the start of the season, there has been a lot of controversy about Coach Doug Collins' playing time limits for you and Kwame Brown, especially you, many people think you're Rookie of the Year, but you play less than 20 minutes per game, what do you think about that?"

Dealing with smart people really gets twice the result with half the effort.

Schneider asked a perfect question, and now Yu Fei can talk about it.

"I understand that rookies have to wait for opportunities to come, and professional basketball has its own set of unspoken rules. They asked us to be diligent, studious, and not complain, and I did at least two of those things. I'm very willing to play as a substitute as long as we can win, but if we keep losing and I can really help the team win, I feel like I need to get some chances for myself. Yu Fei's words were like a bomb detonated in the crowd, "Who is the most talented person?" It's Kwame! Who's the hardest worker, it's me! But we didn't get enough chances and we all played well. If we don't play well, we should keep learning, but that's not true, if we play well and we don't get enough playing time, even if [the coaching staff] have their own concerns, it can be controversial, so I'm not surprised by the arguments from the outside. ”

Schneider's interview is over.

He knew that Yu Fei would bring him big news, but he didn't expect it to be such big news.

The rookie, the hero who saved the Wizards tonight, openly expressed his dissatisfaction with his lack of playing time.

Will Jordan allow this to happen?

Will Collins, who doesn't trust rookies, put Yu Fei in the cold palace?

None of this is Schneider's business, what he has to do is to stir up this traffic.

Yu Fei came to the players' tunnel, and Anthony Lawson threw him a clean outfit, "Did you really say it?" ”

Yu Fei raised his eyebrows, "If you don't say anything, I'll suffocate to death." ”

"Okay, it's time to let that bastard coach know you're awesome!" Lawson didn't know that this was a war, he just stood in Yu Fei's position unconditionally and spoke.

"Tony, don't focus on me, if possible, get close to Tim Grover." Yu Fei said, "He is a very good trainer, if you want to develop and develop in this industry, having his guidance will save you a lot of crooked paths." ”

Lawson didn't expect Yu Fei to still play Grover's idea.

"It's a big loss, big fly!" Lawson couldn't imagine, "How could that bastard with eyes above the top possibly help me?" You know, there's no one here who is more loyal to MJ than him! ”

It's a simple multiple-choice question.

Jordan can play for two years at most, and Yu Fei can play for a few years?

"It's okay, you just have to show favor to him, let's take our time." Yu Fei changed into the clothes given by Lawson, walked into the locker room happily, and then saw Leitner, a, bragging about how much defense his blocking and dismantling had attracted, if it weren't for his blocking and dismantling Yu Fei could kill or not.

Seeing Yu Fei return to the locker room, Leitner's voice became louder: "It's a pity, I'm so cooperative, but someone doesn't say a word of thanks." ”

"You want me to thank you for that pick-and-roll? Is your mom okay? Is she dead? How else could you be so insane? ”

Everyone in the locker room knew what was going on with Leitner's blocking and dismantling of Yu Fei, and it was completely fun to listen to him boast about himself, but Yu Fei hunted his mother when he came up, and directly shattered the atmosphere of the joke.

"What did you say?" Lightner's face sank.

"If I don't trouble you for that blocking, you should be glad that I am magnanimous, I didn't expect you to dare to ask for credit?" Yu Fei sneered, "That's the worst block, you didn't block anyone, you didn't provide any help, and you also made me face the double bag of Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker, if it weren't for Walker's defense being worse than you, I might have made mistakes, and then I would be the one who buried the game, isn't this your plan?" ”

"You don't have to spew blood here!" Leitner blushed, "I'm not that kind of person!" ”

"Then you will admit that your mother is dead, so you are insane, so you will hand over that kind of block!"

Leitner was furious and ready to use his fists to teach Yu Fei the truth, and then, Jordan and Collins came in.

Ignoring Yu Fei and Leitner's hostility like a blind man, Collins said with a smile on his face: "Wonderful game" was so exciting, both teams shot below 40 percent. "Keep trying, keep it up and we'll definitely be back in the playoffs."

Collins then called in Jasidi White — who grabbed a team-high 12 rebounds tonight — to join him in the postgame press conference.

Jordan sat down in his seat like no one else.

Soon, Grover placed ice packs on his knees and soaked his feet in ice buckets.

"You're really messing around!" Grover blamed, "Even if you weren't injured, you shouldn't have played 45 minutes in a game, you're not young anymore!" ”

Jordan snorted softly as he sipped his cigar, "Only then can we win." ”

It sounds like the Wizards are going to lose if he plays one minute less.

Jordan's conceit impressed Yu Fei as much as his self-confidence, although he played 45 minutes tonight, he basically didn't match the opponent's arrow, and in the fourth quarter, he only had one foot to exert power, and it was a mistake for the Celtics to not target his weakness. Even so, he didn't have enough positive feedback on the pitch to nowhere near the importance of playing one minute less to make a team lose.

But this is the Wizards, what can Yu Fei say?

Even if Jordan says, "I take one less breath, and the earth will stop tomorrow", everyone can only say "Ah, yes, yes, yes".

Yu Fei cleaned up and prepared to go directly to the press conference to answer a few questions and then go to practice.

That's when Jordan noticed that Lightner had been staring at the beautiful shoes and Nike boxes that looked like exhibits next to his locker.

"Do you like these?" Jordan asked.

Lightner sees this as an opportunity to get closer to Jordan, "They're beautiful. ”

Then, Jordan looked at the equipment manager, Charlie Butler, and said, "Tomorrow I'll get Chris a pair of the latest Air Jordans." With that, he looked at Lightner, "What's your size?" ”

“14。”

"Size 14, Charlie, get him a new pair of shoes." In this way, Leitner got what Hamilton asked for, which made him excited, and glared at Yu Fei fiercely, as if he had won, however, the happy hour lasted less than five seconds, and he heard Jordan whisper, "Hopefully these shoes can teach you to give your teammates a comfortable pick-and-roll at critical moments." ”

Leitner's face changed in an instant.

The moment reflected Jordan's multiple facets in the eyes of his teammates, generous and humorous, instructive and insulting, always trying to deliver a less subtle and constructive message. Let everyone understand that loyalty to him will be rewarded, and the mistakes of loyal subjects will not be forgotten.

Yu Fei laughed out loud, this was the first time in the months since he met Jordan that he had discovered that old things also had a cute side.

"If a new pair of shoes can teach this idiot to block and dismantle, then I'll break the contract with Reebok and I'll wear AJ." Yu Fei left this sentence and walked out of the locker room happily.

Jordan pinched his cigar and looked at Yu Fei's back with complicated eyes, and waited for him to leave before he asked puzzledly: "What does 'SHABI' mean?" ”

Verizon Center

After wrapping up their rematch with the Celtics, the Wizards have two games left this month.

One is the Orlando Magic game on Nov. 28 and the other is the rematch against the Philadelphia 76ers on the last day of the month.

Both of these games were not easy to play, one was the most talented team in the East that was suspected to be overrated but still strong, and the other was the defending Eastern Conference champion who was fully physical.

However, Collins is now completely unconcerned about the mood of these two opponents.

Because Yu Fei and Yu Fei's agent gave him a big problem.

Last night, Yu Fei made it clear in an exclusive interview with NBC reporters that he was dissatisfied with his playing time.

And agent Arne Trem called him directly and made a clear request in a threatening tone: "If Frye can't start, or you think he can't start, then please consider trading him." I know some teams that are willing to offer him a starting and even a central position, and I can connect with you so it's good for both of us. Frye was running out of patience. ”

This is the moment when the nightmare shines into reality.

Doug Collins has always advocated trading Yu Fei, because this is an uncontrolled player, he not only does not fear Jordan, but also does not fear others, has the strength but is not taught, this kind of player is put in a normal team, it is okay to be cultivated as a core, but the Wizards are not a normal team in the conventional sense.

Even if O'Neal and Duncan are traded, the person who sits in the first place has to be Jordan.

Now, whether it is Yu Fei, his agent, or the realistic needs of the Wizards, improving Yu Fei's playing time is something Collins should consider.

But he didn't dare to think about it, because Jordan hadn't nodded yet.

Even if Jordan nodded, Yu Fei didn't just want more playing time.

Trem has made it clear that there are teams willing to offer a starting position, and there are teams that are willing to offer a central position.

The Wizards only have Jordan here, and the core doesn't need to be thought about for the time being, but the starter is a must.

Did Jordan allow Yu Fei to start?

Can Yu Fei coexist with Jordan?

Will his style of play make Jordan uncomfortable?

If Jordan is not adapted to Fei's style, will there be a greater contradiction between the two sides?

Maybe then we have to trade people to resolve the conflict?

Collins fidgeted and walked straight out of the coach's office, just wanting to catch his breath.

Then, he saw Yu Fei shooting on the court.

Collins subconsciously glanced at the time: two o'clock in the afternoon.

There are 90 minutes left until the start of the training session.

Collins hates players pointing fingers at the coaching staff, but he can't refute Yu's accusations.

It's debatable whether Kwame Brown is the most talented, but he is indeed the hardest-working.

Every time Yu Fei came on the field, Collins would feel a sense of security in his heart, and the picture of Fei sweating on the training ground would flash in his mind.

He has talent, he has skills, he is smart and, above all, he has the attitude and willingness to train hard, which is the foundation for greatness.

But why didn't he and MJ look at each other at the same time?

How can there be a Gen Y in this world who doesn't like MJ?

The better Yu Fei is and the more worthy of starting, the torment and worry in Collins's heart deepens, but sadly, he has no decision, he must inform Jordan of the matter first, and let Jordan make the decision.

He's a core player, he's a shadow coach, he's a real general manager, he's a bigger person than the boss, he's God.

When exactly did I lose my voice in front of Michael?

Even a dog-like clown like Rod Higgins can give Michael advice, why can't I?

Collins was inexplicably aggrieved, thinking about how excited he was when he coached Jordan in Chicago and how excited he was when he won his first win over the Bulls after coaching the Pistons in Detroit, and he remembered crying that night because he had beaten Jordan, even if it was only in the regular season (1).

Alas, in life, everything can be decided by oneself.

Collins didn't think about it, and the first thing he had to do was inform Jordan.

Yu Fei trained seriously, although the content was no different from the past, but today he was going to do great things.

So, the state has to be good.

Practicing and practicing, the teammates gradually came to the training hall.

In addition to his teammates, there is also a big man that Yu Fei didn't expect - the real owner of the team, Abi Bolin.

Moreover, Bolin actually came over to say hello to Yu Fei.

"Don't be nervous young man, I'm here today to meet the hero who saved the team last night!" Pauline said kindly, "As long as there are young people like you, there is a future for professional basketball in the District of Columbia!" ”

is worthy of being the boss, and a mouth is the big picture.

I guess I should say, "I'm honored." ”

"I won't bother you training." Pauline didn't say anything superfluous.

No, the same can't be said either.

Yu Fei feels that he is redundant, named as the boss, but has no real power, and the team is completely controlled by Jordan, an old and stupid bastard, what are you doing? What does Jordan have? Isn't it just that you sell out of season tickets, with a guaranteed 90% attendance rate per game, and the team's peripherals are still selling hot? Okay, that's awesome, but that's based on the fact that everyone still thinks of him as "Jordan the Flyer", but he's now a rusty "Jordan the Bargeat", so, think again.

The fans are mean, and when you can't win, when you achieve great things when you're young and become your Achilles heel when you're old, they'll not only give up on you easily, they'll spit on you mercilessly.

Yu Fei has witnessed the anti-dumping movement in 2023 and seen the hell jokes all over the Internet after 2020, and he knows how powerful the power of the backlash is.

Yu Fei continued to train until Jordan arrived.

Jordan and Pauline had a few words to say first, and the two of them talked and laughed, like partners - they were.

Susan O'Marie also said a few words, and Wes Unseld respectfully called Pauline "sir" and reported everything about the team, but I don't know if he also said anything about Yu Fei.

What would Mr. Pauline do if he knew that the hero who saved the Wizards last night was upset with the Wizards?

Doug Collins didn't respond to what Fei said on NBC last night, not even by name.

Collins led the team in a tactical lesson as usual, and then, according to the black and white team's five-five group, played the match.

Jordan doesn't fight because he was tired yesterday.

Collins originally wanted Yu Fei to be on the same team as Lightner, but Yu Fei objected: "I want to go to the white team." ”

Collins asked, "Why?" ”

"I want to be teammates with people who really know how to block and pick." After speaking, Yu Fei also looked at Jasidi White, "Jasidi, you know I'm not talking about you." ”

Huai nodded and smiled, "I know." ”

Leitner's face has become ugly, and his blocking has become the laughing stock of the team, which is directly related to Yu Fei.

Collins wanted the two men to get along, but their relationship seemed to be getting farther and farther apart.

Yu Fei was resolute, and he agreed to let the other party change teams.

Yu Fei came to the White Team and was teammates with Taryn Lue, Chris Whitney, Hubert Davis, and Kwame Brown.

It can be clearly seen that the backcourt of the white team is on the short side, and Coach Lu and Whitney are pure small point guards, and it is difficult to make cameo points at the quarterback.

However, the confrontation game is very casual, even if the lineup looks abnormal, it can still be played.

"Both, you're both top ball handlers, you don't need a matchup to prove yourself."

Before the start of the game, Yu Fei found Whitney and Lu to chat.

As soon as Director Lu heard Yu Fei say this, he guessed his thoughts: "You want to control the ball?" ”

Whitney was more direct: "How long?" ”

"Until I'm done with that." Yu Fei said.

They didn't know what Yu Fei was going to do.

"I'm fine." Coach Lu expressed his position.

Whitney sighed, "You can just be happy." ”

"Thank you for your support, and I'll thank you when I start."

Yu Fei revealed a key piece of information, and when I hit the starter, Whitney was keenly aware that Yu Fei was about to play against Christian Leitner.

If he has a lot of balls, will Leitner be able to stop them?

As one of the team's regular starters, Leitner's bad relationship with Yu Fei is well known.

In the case of flying not playing center, he has only two options if he wants to play the starting lineup, squeeze out Leitner to play the No. 4 position, or squeeze out Whitney to play the No. 1 position.

Yu Fei didn't want to squeeze out Whitney, and he didn't think Collins would put him in the starting No. 1 spot — because his fast-paced game was something Jordan didn't want. So, Leitner is the only starter he can squeeze out.

It just so happens that this person has a deep contradiction with him, isn't it a coincidence?

In the opening jump shot, Brown lost to White.

Richard Hamilton made a cameo appearance at point guard and played the ball to White in the low post at halftime.

White lightly pushed, turned, hooked hands, and Brown, who didn't care about the game, was easily eaten alone.

"The most gifted person?" Jordan sneered, "Humph"

Jordan had apparently forgotten about Pauline beside him.

When he expressed contempt for Brown's laziness, Pauline thought, "Didn't you choose people?"

Susan O'Marie on one side regretted: "If we had selected Pau Gasol with the first pick, it would have been a completely different situation. ”

This sentence implies an attack on Jordan.

Jordan responded, "yes, then why didn't you say it at the time?" ”

"After all, no one can predict the future." Unselde played a round.

"Yes, but we're not without gains." Jordan glanced at Yu Fei, "That guy is not bad." ”

As if he didn't know which switch on Jordan's body couldn't be touched, O'Marie asked after vaguely saying that Jordan had made a mistake in the draft, "If he's good, why can't we start him?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yu Fei started to pass Lightner and dunk under the basket.

Moreover, Yu Fei shouted at Lightner: "Go and ask for another pair of shoes, you have to improve more than just blocking and dismantling, your defense is ten times worse than blocking and dismantling!" ”

"He's too young" was the only reason Jordan could provide.

Pauline smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Young and promising"

"yes, Frye is a great player." Unseld struggled to control the atmosphere, "He's very popular. ”

"I know he's added more than 100,000 local followers to us." Pauline was completely oblivious to Jordan and O'Marie's argument, "Yes, people only know Frye, not Ichiro Suzuki (3), and this kid is really good." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yu Fei stole Leitner's ball again.

Moreover, Yu Fei deliberately did not play fast attack, slowed down to let Leitner and his teammates retreat into position, and then went to the front court to play positional battles.

"Da Fei, why are you lazier than me?" Only Brown didn't know what Yu Fei was doing.

Yu Fei didn't want to be distracted at all, and moved his fingers to let Brown pull away.

"You've changed, you don't even want a pick-and-roll."

Yu Fei dribbled the ball, looked at Leitner, who hated him like the sea, and asked loudly: "I'm really strange, why can you firmly occupy the starting position?" ”

Everyone's faces changed.

"What did you say?" Lightner didn't react.

After that, Yu changed direction in front of the flying body, accelerated violently, and was still the speed that Lightner couldn't react to, and hit the penalty area, facing Jasidy White's symbolic help defense, and scored with a throw.

"Everybody with eyes can see that I'm much better than you, I'm much more useful than you in the game, so why are you a starter?" Yu Fei turned to Collins, who was standing with Jordan and Pauline, "Why am I a substitute?!" ”

Pauline asked in an inquiring tone, as if he was half a beat slow, "Do you have any differences?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Pauline, your hero expressed his displeasure with the team last night in front of an NBC reporter who didn't know why he was sitting on the cold bench."

"Oh, and that kind of thing?"

Jordan's face became extremely ugly: "We'll take care of it." ”

"I've always believed in you, Michael." Pauline laughed.

Then, Collins saw a sentence on Jordan's iron-clad face: "Shut him up!" ”

Who to shut up?

Who else could there be besides Yu Fei?

But who can shut him up?

Seventeen years later, Jordan said in his documentary that he never let people do what he couldn't. But he now gave Collins a job he couldn't have done on his own.

"Fry, be nice to Chris." Hamilton wanted to ease the scene.

Yu Fei has nothing to say about the creator of this new concept, but the young player leader who ultimately completely deviated from the original intention of Xinjie.

It's not that no one has seen how sluggish he was in the games when he was transferred from the starter, and now Yu Fei just wants to return to a position that belongs to him.

Hamilton was bored and misplaced on the offensive end to force Whitney.

At this time, Leitner had lost the courage to play against Yu Fei, and he asked White to switch defenses with himself.

"Bad seeds!"

Jordan cursed.

When Yu Fei saw the innocent White being pushed in front of him by Leitner, he smiled: "This is our starter?" Let someone else take on the challenge in your place? ”

As Yu Fei spoke, he gestured to Brown to come over and take the ball.

Only by flying's side can Brown get back to his high school self.

When he took the ball from Yu Fei's hand at the top of the arc, watched Yu Fei cut to the basket, and went straight to Lightner, he finally knew what kind of crazy thing his good brother was doing today.

"Hey, Big Fly!"

Brown wanted to play handsome, and even sent an empty catch.

Idiot!

Yu Fei scolded in his heart, is it time to pass on the air? Leitner didn't lose his position at all!

But looking at Leitner's appearance, what if he didn't lose his position?

Stop yourself?

He can't do it!

Yu Fei jumped in the paint area, and Lightner instinctively jumped up to block it, but he jumped too low and the bounce speed was too slow, and the physical disparity between the two was huge, and the latter had no chance of completing the defense.

Yu Fei grabbed the basketball with his right hand and smashed it towards the basket behind Leitner, the moment the dunk was completed, there seemed to be an explosion on the court, and Leitner fell from a normal defensive posture in an instant and fell to the ground miserably.

"With such a starter, isn't it a matter of course to lose eight in a row?"

Yu Fei's every word was humiliating Leitner, but it was also slapping Jordan and Collins in the face.

"Enough, Fry!" Collins stepped forward, "This is not the place for you to be angry! It's an intra-team match, Chris is your opponent and your teammate, you have to respect him! ”

"Do I respect him?" Yu Fei sneered and asked, "Who will respect me?" ”

"During the eight-game losing streak, everyone started, but I didn't!" Yu Fei asked, "Why?" Is it that I don't deserve it, or do you not want me to start? ”

"OK, maybe having me start won't solve the team's problems, but I'm at least more useful than this shit! So why can't I start? ”

"Is he better than me? Or do any of you want me to start? Yu Fei looked at Whitney, "Chris, are you willing to let me start?" ”

Whitney shrugged, "That's the best thing to do. ”

"Rip, do you think I should start?" Yu Fei asked.

Hamilton didn't want to be roasted on the fire, but now, if he doesn't support Yu Fei, he won't have to wear the hat of the so-called leader of young players.

Hamilton said: "I think you can start. ”

Yu Fei looked at White.

Before he could speak, White said, "If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't play center, I would even be willing to let you start for me." ”

Yu Fei smiled, provocatively and presumptuously looked at Jordan: "Then who doesn't want me to start?" ”

"It's not your problem alone!" Collins yelled.

"Three of the starters were willing to let me start!" Yu Fei asked rhetorically in a louder voice, "I am competing with a waste who is far inferior to me, why can't I fight for my status?" Why aren't you willing to give me a chance? Am I incompetent? No, without me, you're 2-10 now, and I've helped you win two more games, but you don't even want to give me a chance to start? If you don't think I deserve to start on this team, trade me out, and I'm fed up! ”

After that, Yu Fei took off his jersey and walked to the gym shirtless.

The scene was as quiet as a morgue.

"It looks like this is a problem that has to be solved." Pauline looked at Yu Fei who was walking away and said.

O'Marie followed the owner's words: "Frye is one of our best players and it's always been strange that he didn't make the starting line-up because he was clearly better than individual starters. ”

Pauline still looked indisputable, and looked at Jordan kindly: "Michael, I believe you can solve this problem properly." ”

"We'll be fine." Jordan said.

"Of course, I believe in you."

With that, Pauline walked to the boss's office with Omarie and Unselde.

Whether it is public opinion from the outside world, or the will of the boss, or the pressure of Yu Fei himself and his agent, this matter has come to the point where it has to be resolved.

Jordan was annoyed and had the intention of trading Yu Fei.

But if he traded Yu Fei, it would be tantamount to admitting that he couldn't control this young wild horse, which was a disguised admission of defeat and an unacceptable result for him.

"Michael" Collins believes that now is a good time to trade Yu Fei.

However, Jordan said, "In the next game, let Rip come off the bench, I'll play the second position, let that kid start, and let him go against Grant Hill." If he messes up, I'll shut him up completely! ”

What if Grant Hill was screwed by him?

Collins didn't say that because Jordan had already made a decision.

He did not and could not have objections.

"Go and call that kid back, the fight isn't over yet." Jordan pouted, which was his habitual move, "Tell him about our decision." ”

Is this really our decision?

Doug Collins thought to himself and walked to the gym.

On this road that is neither long nor short, Collins thinks back to the question just now, when did he start to lose his voice in front of Jordan?

It had been so long that he couldn't remember.

Yu Fei's words, the disrespectful attitude towards the coaches, the arrogance of self-respect, opened up the memories that Collins was unwilling to reveal.

Collins remembered it all.

It was also in an intra-team confrontation game of the Bulls that he deliberately let the referee who served as an assistant coach miss a foul in order to get the main players led by Jordan used to the away whistle, which angered Jordan.

After Jordan was furious, he left the training ground like Yu Fei today.

As a coach, if a player does that and you don't have the power – or the majesty – to stop him, you can't stop him anymore.

Collins couldn't stop Jordan from leaving, but in order not to cause a rift in the relationship, he had to explain to Jordan in person and ask him to come back to finish the match.

He went, Jordan returned, which also meant that, from now on, Jordan would not respect him anymore.

Just like today.

Yu Fei made himself lose face, but he still had to go to the gym to persuade him to come back to complete the confrontation and inform him of the news of starting the next game.

Regardless of whether Yu Fei can mess up Hill tomorrow night, Doug Collins will lose the player forever.

In just a few minutes, the same nightmare once again shone into Collins' reality.

He had nowhere to run.

(1) It's true that Collins cried after the Pistons won over the Bulls. Jordan's post-game evaluation: Doug should cry a little less because the next time we meet, I will really make him cry (2).

(2) You might want to know the follow-up, so I looked it up. The game Collins cried about was the fourth match between the Pistons and the Bulls in the 9697 season, and this Jordan played badly. The next time the two teams meet is the 9798 season, this season the Bulls are worried about internal and external troubles, and the dog should have forgotten what he said to Collins, only 34 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, although the Bulls won, but it can't achieve the effect of "I will really make him cry". This may be the reason why this story has not been circulated.

(3) Just think of Ichiro Suzuki as Yao Ming in the Japanese baseball world. As for Shohei Ohtani, this kind of monster is another dimension. Doncic or Jokic could be compared.
