Chapter 116: The King of Drama
Yu Fei's "humiliation" of O'Neal was a novel experience for Kobe.
While it's not right to find it funny to watch an opponent insult their teammates, if it's O'Neal, that's fine.
Complaining about the referee not giving fouls is what O'Neal has to do every game, and he even does this during the intra-team confrontation, back then, Kobe Bryant used an attitude similar to Yu Fei to hit back at O'Neal, and what did he get?
A slap in the face.
Now seeing O'Neal being stimulated by a rookie to the point of red temperature, Kobe Bryant's heart has an unusual refreshment.
Robert Horry then lowered the offensive pressure with a three-pointer from O'Neal.
In the offensive round of the Wizards, Popayer Jones, who was in charge of the high-post transition ball, made a mistake in passing the ball and was intercepted by Kobe, who immediately launched a defensive counterattack and scored a dunk in the frontcourt.
5 to 4
The Wizards continue to make a big fuss in the high position.
Because O'Neal generally doesn't defend against pick-and-rolls, and he doesn't bother to run out from the inside to prevent shots, Popayer Jones, who has the ability to shoot from the middle, pulls aside after blocking and pick-and-roll.
Lu directs the ball to.
Horry didn't bother to move, O'Neal really didn't leave the basket, and Jones made a shot.
Unfortunately, he's not the kind of consistent mid-range pitcher either.
"Bang!"
The Lakers are fighting back again.
It's too fast, it's not something the inside can keep up with, it's the strikers' game.
To be exact, it is the defenders who dominate this game.
Brian Shaw ran at full speed and passed the ball to Rick Fox as he went, and Fox picked up the ball and prepared to go straight to the basket, while Yu Fei, who was catching up quickly, sent a chase cap behind him.
"Frye Yu's chasing hat is a sight to behold in the Wizards!"
NBC commentator Bob Costas laughed after the scene.
Since the Lakers want to play fast, Yu Fei doesn't mind accompanying them to play fast.
After all, no one on the Wizards court hates fast-paced games, but the Lakers can't say anything about it.
After the flying block, he controlled the ball, and then dribbled the ball to the front court, and after making eye contact with O'Neal's enemies, he waved for Jasidi White to block it.
O'Neill's reaction was the same as Yu Fei expected, moving, but not completely.
First of all, O'Neal can't be indifferent to the fact that White went out to block and pick-and-roll, but it will be difficult for him to get out of the paint area and go to a high pick-and-roll.
Because he knew that once he went out, Yu Fei would easily break through him.
Moreover, frequently leaving the paint area to prevent pick-and-rolls will also have a great impact on his physical strength.
In short, O'Neal has a lot of excuses, and the combination of those excuses causes him to be weak defensively in the face of pick-and-roll offense.
Yu Fei used the block to easily shake off the defense and dribble to the free throw line, since O'Neal didn't come out, he didn't need to go in, and directly hit a pull-up jump shot.
5 to 6
The Wizards overtook by one point.
"No one really expects teammates to defend against two, right?" Yu Fei said trash talk to Fawkes, but it wasn't Fawkes who was hurt, "What about your boss?" Why didn't he come out to defend me? ”
The mature and steady Fox rolled his eyes: "You don't think it's useful for you to say that, do you?" ”
If it's useless, don't say it? O'Neill felt a little disgusted and angry about this, and Yu Fei's trash talk was also valuable.
Seeing O'Neal's attitude towards the pick-and-roll offense, Yu Fei gradually understood why fans in the small-ball era felt that O'Neal would be killed by three-point and pick-and-roll after 20 years.
This is a very interesting argument, and it makes two completely opposite basketball concepts collide badly, and old fans usually scoff at this view, because for O'Neal to play the interior of the small-ball era, not to mention 100% shooting, 75% shooting is solid, and small-ball teams need to shoot more than 50% three-point shooting to knock O'Neal out. However, fans in the small-ball era also have something to say, why do people have to shoot three-pointers? If you don't prevent blocking and demolition, people will point to you and name you to block and dismantle military training, can't you?
It's an issue that can't come to fruition, but when O'Neal's type of traditional interior line dies in the small-ball era, the times themselves have given the answer.
Everyone, everything, has to move forward.
But Fei is a man from the future, he knows the power of pick-and-roll, and he also knows how many opportunities O'Neal's attitude of ignoring pick-and-roll defense can bring to the Wizards.
Then when Yu Fei decided to name O'Neal fiercely, O'Neill got stuck in the most dangerous position.
Brian Shaw only needs a hanging pass.
O'Neal caught the ball, turned around and slammed Jasidy White away, and then in an instant, the fat pig body that was not like an athlete started as if it was equipped with a rocket engine, and it exploded, blasting a visual smash directly into White's head.
7 to 6
Cheating, right?
Although he had known it for a long time, when he saw it with his own eyes, Yu Fei still found it hard to believe that a person with this kind of physique could still have this kind of explosive power and speed.
"Jasidy, Are you okay?" Yu Fei is a Xiaomi boss-style care.
It's not the first time White has fought O'Neal, he just hopes that Yu Feishao will provoke that monster: "You know what, Fry, every time you make Shaq angry, I will pay in the end." ”
"Don't be afraid of him, Jasidy, you can have a good deal with him." Yu Fei is no longer talking nonsense with his eyes open, he completely ignores the scene of O'Neal pinching and blowing up White, and tries to brainwash his teammates with no conscience.
Subsequently, just as Yu Fei wanted to take the ball and roll call, Tyronn Lue actually attacked O'Neal before him.
Lue didn't directly target O'Neal, but it was about the same, he called Popeje Jones' pick-and-roll, and Horry's defensive attitude was similar to O'Neal's, and neither of them liked the pick-and-roll very much.
That's what Coach Lu wants, create an open spot with a pick-and-roll, and then shoot directly with a jumper.
With his current jump shot decisiveness, Jordan would definitely appreciate it if he hadn't been reimbursed.
"Bang!"
Although he did not enter, his courage was commendable.
Moreover, Yu Fei grabbed the long rebound that bounced off, stabilized his body, raised his left hand and said, "Take your time, let's take our time!" ”
Some people said to take their time, but before the words fell, they had already provoked Jasidy White to come out and block the demolition.
There is no more obvious offensive tendency than this.
Yu Fei is going for O'Neal, he wants to eat the opponent.
As the first person in the league, being played by opponents as a hole on the defensive end is an insult to O'Neal, and in less than three minutes of the opening game, the big sharks' antipathy for flying has surpassed Kobe, surpassing David Robinson (scoring champion), and surpassing all the people who have left him unpleasant in his life.
Anger swept through O'Neill's brain, and he followed, and it was like walking from one dead end to another.
O'Neal has always been right about his judgment on the defensive end.
Although it will give a chance if he doesn't prevent blocking and dismantling, he must have that ability if he wants to prevent blocking and dismantling.
Yu Fei passed by on the outside line, and saw O'Neill in front of him, who was even hungrier than Takushi Yoshimura, who found his favorite partner, and accelerated directly.
O'Neill wanted to do something to stop him, but Yu Fei was so fast that he didn't have time to do anything before he lost his defensive position.
The Lakers' restricted area without O'Neal is vacuum, and no one will be counting on Robert Horry to protect the basket.
BOOM!
Yu Fei completed a breakthrough dunk at the top ten ball level.
7 to 8
"Why do some people like to look at the defense so much, no wonder the little brothers under him don't accept him as the boss." Yu Fei slowly ran in front of O'Neill, and the harsh words brought a touch of coolness to many people.
Jasidy White was the first to feel this, and he's going to suffer.
Sure enough, O'Neill struggled to get the position with a rare aggressiveness.
In order to avoid being trapped, he chose to go as deep as possible to ensure that his teammates' balls could be launched as soon as they passed.
O'Neal's size and strength are incomparable to White's, and as long as O'Neal wants to do this, White can be said to be helpless.
"Beep!"
White was quickly whistled for a defensive foul.
White was then forced to reduce the intensity of the confrontation, but in doing so, he was even more powerless to stop O'Neal from taking the position.
Just when White thought his nightmare was about to come, his savior, Kobe Bryant, had reached the limit of patience and was ready to attack, the consequence of which was naturally to make O'Neal's efforts go to waste, but who cares? He doesn't care!
Bryant dribbled the ball in style, cut directly into the vicinity of the paint area, made an emergency stop, got up and leaned back, and a set of movements was beautiful and picturesque.
"Huh!"
The damn thing is that he's still in, so even if you want to lose your temper with him, you have to weigh it.
Phil Jackson's gaze was cold, and of course he knew that this was another time that Kobe Bryant had let out his dark side.
"Hey, Kobe, I was in the position, you should pass me the ball!"
Bryant replied-for-tat: "You've wasted ten seconds!" ”
Then, Yu Fei came.
Yu Fei was full of respect for White's performance in carrying O'Neal - although he didn't carry it much, the point was whether he carried it or not, and if he carried it, he was a hero.
For these unsung heroes who are silently dedicated, Yu Fei's proposition has always been to give appropriate sweetness.
For example, in this round, Yu Fei suddenly did not ask White to block and dismantle, but asked Jones to block and dismantle, and then burst into the interior to attract O'Neal's help to defend and then make an air cake for White.
White jumped up to complete the air relay and successfully ate the cake into his stomach.
"It's a man who has a big fat pig, Jasidy, you're awesome!" Yu Fei continued to cheer White up when he was back on defense.
This scene fell into the eyes of Phil Jackson.
He found the reality so ironic, as a fellow high school student, Yu Fei was more mentally sound and humane than Kobe, and although he and MJ didn't get along well, he always behaved correctly on the court.
Kobe Bryant has always been strict with himself and with others, especially when it comes to team bosses like O'Neal.
He thinks O'Neill should treat training to the same standard as himself.
O'Neill said he couldn't do it and that he needed to "take care of it" or he would get hurt.
Jackson always acquiesced in O'Neal's laziness, and when Kobe Bryant had a problem, his criticism was merciless. This double standard worsened the relationship between Kobe and Jackson.
Now, the selfish Kobe Bryant is back in the game, ignoring O'Neal's position and going solo again.
This time, Kobe Bryant failed to dominate Bobby Simmons and shot iron.
Coach Lu, dissatisfied with the Lakers, moved at full speed as if he was stepping on Hot Wheels, and scored on the counterattack.
9 to 12
The Wizards' lead came to three points.
It's time, Jackson doesn't want to let Kobe continue to tear this team apart.
Just as the "terminally ill" Kobe Bryant waved a gesture for his teammates to roll aside, O'Neal continued to stay under the basket.
O'Neill seemed to know that Jackson was going to call a timeout.
After five seconds directly under the basket, even if the referees tried to ignore his violation, the Wizards would not allow it.
Doug Collins yelled at the referee, "How long the are you going to keep him under the basket?!! ”、
"Beep!"
When the whistle blew, on-duty referee Jesse Cauchy reluctantly blew O'Neal for a three-second violation, and the ball belonged to the Wizards, and the Lakers called a halt to the game at this time.
The scene was shocking to some.
Yu Fei thinks that the entanglement between him and Jordan this season is exciting enough, and decades later, if they don't mix well, they can make a documentary around this season together.
But the Lakers this.
Yu Fei will not do anything harmful to the interests of the team on the court because he competes with Jordan.
For example, deliberately staying under the basket and not walking was blown for three seconds.
But Shaq did it!
Even if Jordan is not happy with Yu Fei, if Yu Fei has a chance to kill, he will give up the opportunity.
And Kobe Bryant is the kind of person who will turn his face on the spot if someone grabs a key ball with him.
At the same time, the head coach of the Lakers is not a marionette-like figure like Collins, he is next to the boss's daughter, defeats the team's veteran LOGO man in an office battle, and has his own set of rules in commanding the team, indulging and tolerating O'Neal, and taking harsh and high-pressure measures against Kobe.
O'Neill deliberately dragged his toe surgery until before training camp began.
Jackson said, "Without anyone, we all have to sprint for a three-peat.
Bryant missed preseason training camp due to his maternal grandfather's illness.
Jackson said that some people are selfish, that we are in a tough time, that all eyes are on us, and that we should be sprinting for a higher goal than our personal affairs.
Yu Fei finally discovered that OK is called the "King of Drama" for a reason.
The Wizards' program is more effective, but the drama is all on Fly and Jordan, and the Lakers are different, with unique skills up and down, and as soon as they make a shot, the NBA headlines are full of their stories.
O'Neal's weak defensive blocking ability, the ongoing infighting with the Lakers, and some weaknesses that are inevitable but have not yet been discovered by Yu Fei are the chances of the Wizards to let the defending champions encounter Waterloo tonight.
Before Yu Fei left the court, he glanced at Kobe Bryant, who had just fallen ill suddenly, and thought, continue, don't get along with the dead fat pig, my old Komi will always stand by your side this day!
