Determined to compete with Yu Fei, Sam Cassel began to press the defense with high intensity.

After a failed positional battle with the Bucks, Cassel began his own plan.

With Yu Fei's height, playing point guard for a long time can lead to fitness problems.

But Yu Fei is not a person who wants to hold the ball in his hand from beginning to end.

For example, for the job of dribbling over half court, he often asks Jordan to share the workload with himself. Jordan knew that this was Yu Fei's way to save his physical strength, but he did not refuse, because controlling the ball is also a way to maintain his feel.

Kassel's full-court pressing failed to effectively consume Yu Fei.

Instead, let Yu Fei come to the basket through the off-ball run and get the opportunity to attack Kassel in a misplaced position.

"Assist in defense! Assist in defense! Assist in defense! ”

If someone were to tell a first-time viewer that the success or failure of the goal would determine George Carr's life, they would believe it.

Carl is so passionate.

Yu Fei couldn't imagine what it was like to play under such a person.

However, Anthony Mason, who was supposed to help defend, was lazy and didn't run in time at all, Jordan passed the ball to Yu Fei under the basket.

Yu Fei leaned his back against Kassel, pushed the opponent away, and then scored a layup on the spot.

"What about defense? What about our defense? ”

Carl roared angrily.

Can't he see that the only problem with the defense in this round is Anthony Mason?

Obviously, the thief was in front of him, and with Carl's temperament, he should have been hit hard, but this incident did not happen.

Yu Fei doesn't know if Mason has the ability to be invisible on the court like a sunspot, or if the defense just now shouldn't have let Mason help defend in the first place, if it is the former, Yu Fei will seriously suggest that the Bucks change to a sighted head coach, if it is the latter, then there must be a problem with his basketball outlook and the Bucks' defensive system.

It's just that Fei is an egocentric element who is not easy to change if he identifies certain facts, and the ball just now is to call God over, and he also wants to say that Mason is the first person responsible.

But the Bucks were indifferent to this, and it just so happened that he continued to score points by taking advantage of Mason's laziness on the defensive end.

Incidentally

Yu Fei glanced at Cassel and sighed: "You look ugly, and even your teammates are not willing to help you make up for your defense." ”

"It's not what you think it is!" Cassel was anxious and actually tried to explain to Yu Fei.

But Yu Fei's eyes full of contempt undoubtedly showed his attitude.

No matter what Cassel said, he only believed what he saw.

Damn it! Damn it!

Kassel is getting hotter and hotter, glaring at the bastard who didn't care to help him defend at all, and he is actually asking for the ball again?

Why do you pass the ball? Cassel gave Mason a cold look and then gave Glenn Robinson a pass on the weak side.

"I'm already in my place, what are you doing?" Mason actually sued the wicked first.

The big dog then made a jumper under Hubert Robinson's defense.

Although he scored two goals in a row before, the feeling always came and went, and if he chose a difficult shot every time, the hit rate was destined to be unguaranteed.

"Bang!"

Yu Fei stepped into the paint area and flew to grab the defensive rebound.

Cassel's pressing opportunity finally came, but Yu Fei first leaned his back against him, then turned and rushed forward.

Kassel's pressing defense was broken in an instant, and Yu Fei called Tyrone Nesby's block in advance in the frontcourt.

It's Anthony Mason again!

After Nesby hung Cassel, according to the general defensive tacit understanding, Mason should be in the opposite position with Yu Fei.

But Mason didn't have this will, he just stood symbolically in front of Yu Fei, his hand was not stretched, and the pressure was not given, as if he was sure that the other party would not dare to shoot three points.

Lawson's superficial defense seems to be no different from air, because of the hot state, he is sideways, directly collects the ball, pulls up in front of the opponent, and takes advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold to chase the body and fly away from the palm of his hand.

"!!Shh

Yu Fei has already scored 10 points, and his form is so good that it scares George Karl out of a cold sweat, but what really dislikes him is the team's defensive performance.

Yu Fei certainly feels good, but if the Bucks' defensive echo is not so bad, these two opportunities will not be seized by him.

As the Wizards were on the rise, Karl called a halt to the game.

"Why didn't any of us stop that rookie? Why do you make the same mistake on the defensive end every time? Why are we always so stupid? Carl growled, "Are you pigs?" ”

No one responded to Karl.

The temper and personality of a crazy coach may be an important boost for the team when the team's record is improving, but now, when reinforcements have become weakening, the team atmosphere is terrible, and the chemistry is completely lost, Karl's "put the facts aside" group spray will only make the situation worse.

Cassel glared at Mason fiercely.

Mason looked indifferent.

Ray Allen knows what the problem is, but he also has a knot.

And Glenn Robinson is also full of indifference.

Whether Carl admits it or not, the Bucks are no longer the team they were last year with a first-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Just like in the case of Philadelphia, although last season's playoffs are only half a year away, the changes in most of the year are enough to change the face of the team.

On the other side, Collins saw the state of Yu Fei's explosive table.

He knew that Yu Fei in this state was not suitable for playing the No. 1 position.

The number one position requires organization, it needs to bring the ball to the front, there are a lot of things to think about, which is too draining, it is better to let him go back to the number three position and give full play to his attacking ability.

So, Collins replaced Hubert Davis, let Yu Fei play the No. 3 position, and then replaced Chris Whitney as a porter and outside shooter.

The Bucks' alignment also changes.

Karl has confirmed that Kassel is unlikely to be able to contain Yu Fei on the defensive end.

Because Yu Fei's shooting tonight was open.

In this state, Yu Fei must use a sporty striker of the same size to be restricted.

Carl originally wanted Mason to play against Wei Fei, but he saw Mason's previous performance, and he really put him and Yu Fei in the opposite position, and they could be beaten by rookies tonight with a 50-point headline performance in a single game.

In the end, Karl reluctantly chose Tim Thomas on the bench.

This man is the No. 7 pick in 1997, and he has outstanding talent, size, athleticism, and physical fitness, but he lacks aggressiveness.

But the problem is, Thomas has never had a good reputation on the defensive end.

Carl asked him to defend against Yu Fei, but he just felt that his figure was not at a loss to Yu Fei, nothing more.

What Carl didn't expect was that although Thomas didn't suffer in terms of size, he suffered in other aspects, especially his attitude and defensive skills, which didn't look like a veteran who had played in the NBA for four or five years.

Suddenly, Yu Fei was given unlimited right to fire.

In the first round against Tim Thomas, although he missed a pull-up jump shot after breaking through with the ball, his teammate got the rebound, and after passing to the outside, Whitney hit a three-pointer.

In the next offensive round of the Wizards, Yu Fei took the ball again, the center of gravity was lowered, and the continuous crossover changed direction, Tim Thomas was not in the right position, he was like an incompetent person who spent two hours looking for a piece but only took 50 seconds to surrender the gun in the feint session, and was completely thrown away.

Yu Fei rushed to the inside, pressed Purzbilla with his back, and forced a layup under the opponent's defense to score.

On the Bucks' side, on the other hand, it all relied on Ray Allen's three-point hanging.

Moreover, there is also the cancer of Mason, a bright brand.

Yu Feizhen didn't know why a stern coach like Carl could never see the negative effects of this person.

Collins was respectful to Jordan, right? But if Jordan plays a very bad game, Collins will also reduce his playing time and give a little advice.

But here Mason, Yu Fei really didn't feel that the bucks had any arrangements or requirements for him.

Mason's tactical position can be described as unique, landing in the low position to ask for the ball first, teammates to give, and instantly bring fans back to the 50-60s of the last century, the inside line held the ball in the low position and watched for five or six seconds to find an opportunity to play, if there was no longer an era when he played by himself.

This style of play is not only inefficient, but also disrupts the rhythm of the attack.

If Mason doesn't get the ball, it's even better, he doesn't take space in the low post, he just pulls away on the wings, acts as a non-play-related passerby, and spends the rest of the attacking time chanting "passes" to his team-mates.

There is such a thing as a cancer on the court, Yu Fei has seen a lot.

Poisoned to this point, the head coach can still ignore it, and his teammates swallow their anger, and Mason is the first.

Then, Yu Fei didn't bother much about Mason.

It's a good thing that the opponent has a poisonous tumor in the field.

He wished there was a Mason on every opponent.

Let's see Mason ask for the ball again, this time, Kassel resolutely refuses to give it.

Ray Allen didn't get a chance before Cassel clutched the ball in his hand, and then Mason was whistled for a three-second violation.

At this point, the Bucks are already 11 points behind the Wizards.

On the offensive end, Yu Fei took the ball again, which was his choice to play singles for three consecutive rounds in a row, and his teammates did not have any objections.

Yu Fei once again dribbles in front of Tim Thomas.

"Stop him! Stop him! Carl roared passionately.

As a result, Thomas's defense was still papery, and Yu Fei shook him away with a change of direction, stopped his shot, and threw it this time.

The difference between the two sides came to 13 points.

didn't wait for Carl to scold, Yu Fei sent a defensive hat on the defensive end.

He can be seen everywhere on both offensive and defensive ends.

This invisibly evoked Carl's dream that ended before it even began.

During Jordan's first retirement, the SuperSonics and the Bulls had serious discussions about a one-for-one trade between Kemp and Pippen, after which the trade was halted by the Bulls. It can be said that this is an underrated "if", if the deal is completed, can Jordan after the comeback take Camp to complete the three-in-a-row? Can Pippen and Payton win the championship on defense?

Carl also asked Jordan when he was planning the deal, and he was also a North Carolina alumnus, and he had a good personal relationship with Jordan.

At that time, Jordan, who thought he would not return to basketball, strongly recommended that Carl complete the trade, but in the end, due to the unilateral reasons of the Bulls, the deal was not completed, and everything after that is all history.

Now, a little Pippon who looks to have a better future than he did at the beginning has appeared.

Why is he still Jordan's player?

Karl wondered, could Jordan have been born to attract this kind of player to his side to help?

At this moment, Carl forgot the public contradiction between Yu Fei and Jordan, and also forgot the fact that Yu Fei was almost traded before, he was just envious and jealous that Jordan could always find such a good helper.

Then, 10 minutes into the first quarter, Yu Fei went off the court with 15 points and 5 rebounds.

Getting such data in 10 minutes shows how good Yu Fei's form is tonight.

In order to chase points, Karl shortened the rotation, let Ray Allen play the full first quarter, and then let Glenn Robinson come on the court to score points.

It turned out to work.

With a 13-point lead, Collins replaced both Yu Fei and Jordan to rest.

There was suddenly no one to talk to on the court, and the Wizards' offensive talent was so barren that they had to focus on Christian Leitner, who was back on the court.

The last time Leitner played the core was 10 years ago, when he was still in the NCAA, and now he led the Bucks to eight straight points in a matter of minutes.

The first quarter ended at 35-27, and the two sides entered the second quarter.

Collins didn't say anything else, he was very masterful on the field, and he was not in a hurry to be chased so much, and he still didn't have a double core at the beginning of the second quarter, so that Tyronn Lue, Hubert Davis, Tyrone Nesby, Kwame Brown and Jasidy White came as starters in the second quarter.

The Bucks' lineup in the second quarter looked significantly better.

The starters were all but Ray Allen and Joel Pulzbilla.

Strangely, it was this better-looking lineup that didn't play as expected.

Ray Allen's substitute Michael Reed's shooting skills made Yu Fei's eyes shine, and he hit directly after coming up, which was very imposing.

But after that, the Bucks fell into the vicious circle of Mason's asking for the ball to destroy the system.

Mason really explains what it means to put aside that station, which makes people nag for a lifetime.

"They really can't see that Mason is seriously disrupting the rhythm of the attack on the field?" Yu Fei asked.

Chris Whitney blinked, just about to answer, only to realize that Yu Fei was not asking himself.

Thomas Flynn, a team correspondent for The Washington Times, said: "Anthony Mason is a well-known thorn. ”

"Same as me?" Yu Fei asked self-deprecatingly.

"It's different." Flynn said, "Trust me, you're nowhere near as good as Anthony Mason, and if you're comparing yourself to him, you're doing yourself." ”

Thanks to this toxic environment, Yu Fei, who chose to be self-reliant, brought a lot of negative public opinion to himself, which led to his poor image in the eyes of the so-called professionals, whom Yu Fei called Jordan's lackey. But no matter how bad the image is, everyone is differentiated.

It's like although Zhou Shuyi can't understand the basic mechanics of the game when she is a commentator, and she only has abstract and rotten work when she does live broadcasts, she can at least watch it with a face, but if one day it suddenly turns out that she is together with a heavyweight like the ass king, how do you feel?

Not worth it, really.

"Is that guy so bad? I remember a lot of teams were pursuing him last offseason. Yu Fei still remembered, "I remember that Milwaukee and Philadelphia competed around him, and in the end, Milwaukee won." ”

"That's because George Carr and Larry Brown have never backed down from players with strong personalities. They think they can control Mason. ”

This sentence made Yu Fei realize something in an instant.

Yes, Karl, like Brown, is a famous Devil manager.

But if Mason, as a cancer of overt evil, has not been eradicated or cured, then there is only one explanation: George Carr has flinched.

Thanks to the big guys who manually corrected the errors
