The only reason Yu Fei chose to push O'Neal away instead of treating O'Neill in a rougher way was that he needed to make sure he stayed on the court.

Because the Wizards need this win.

If he is fouled, the Wizards have no hope of winning.

O'Neill couldn't believe that Yu Fei dared to do such a thing to himself, and by the time his anger burned to the extreme, players from both sides had already come to his side and pulled away the people involved in the conflict.

In the end, the referee's verdict was that O'Neal and Yu Fei each received a foul and no T.

Because both of them have already received technical fouls before, if they are given a T, they will be sent out of the game, which will seriously affect the gold content of this focus battle.

In a league that treats stars like gods, that can't happen.

Despite this, Yu Fei's behavior of pushing O'Neal down still attracted boos from the audience, and the Lakers' celebrity fans even played the role of a near-water building and fired directly at Yu Fei.

Jack Nicholson is full of expletives.

Gwyneth Paltrow acted like a Lakers fan: "You shameless bastard, Shaq will beat you hard!" ”

Yu Fei was glad that Winlester did not join in condemning him, and as for Gwyneth, the so-called national pepper, he never thought the other party was good-looking.

"Shut up, Karl Marlon!" Yu Fei responded loudly to Gwyneth.

This move caused the anger of celebrities, who thought that Yu Fei was too disrespectful to Gwyneth.

The scene was chaotic, and countless Angelenos stood up and cursed at the fly.

This made Collins consider replacing Yu Fei for a while and waiting for the situation to ease before playing.

And Yu Fei rejected Collins' proposal, because now the end will be regarded as a sign of weakness.

Yu Fei stayed on the court, and the game continued.

Lightner came to Yu Fei, as if he wanted to thank Fang Cai for his affairs.

But Yu Fei didn't take that incident to heart, no matter who was humiliated by O'Neill just now, he would go up to help his teammates out.

Lightner saw that Yu Fei didn't care at all, and he also knew what the other party meant.

If you want to reward Yu Fei, the best way to do that is to provide a seasoned veteran with all the experience and power on the field.

The Lakers gradually returned to the OK dual-core driven mode, and the Wizards rarely caught the Lakers' untimely counterattack opportunities after losing the positional battle compared to the first quarter.

Like the Lakers, the Wizards need to find ways to grind their ground.

Once the game gets to this stage, they don't have many solutions.

Tyronn Lue can steal one or two with speed, Bobby Simmons is only useful when he is on the fast break, Kwame Brown has three fouls before he finishes the half, and Leitner, who is Yu Fei's only reliable helper.

Whenever the Wizards' positional battle can't be played, the ball will return to Yu Fei's hand.

And the only thing Yu Fei had to do was to beckon Leitner to come and block it.

In the past, when Leitner and Yu Fei cooperated, there would be a lot of fake blocking, and he would make a bad move, bringing the defender to Yu Fei, while he easily cut inside.

But now, he doesn't do that anymore.

Yu Fei can finally use this best anti-aircraft battery in the team to find a way to name O'Neill.

It was the cooperation of Yu Fei and Leitner that allowed the Wizards to withstand OK's fierce attack in the first half.

44 to 46

At halftime, the Wizards led by two points.

Speaking to the midfielder, Doug Collins heard an interesting question.

"Frye refers to Gwyneth Paltrow as Carl Malone, do you know why?"

Collins replied with a smile: "I don't know, when the game is over, you can ask him yourself." ”

Although Collins didn't understand the damage of Yu Fei's metaphor, he was sure that it was not a good word.

Then, he took a deep breath and thought back to the first half of the game, whether it was the opening lead, or Yu Fei repeatedly stepped forward to rush O'Neal in the second quarter, and finally surprised Leitner when the opponent attacked him.

Before tonight, Collins had absolutely no belief that Yu Fei would one day have a head-on confrontation with his opponent over Leitner.

But it's true.

Does this mean that this demon king of the mixed world, who doesn't even care about Jordan, is gradually becoming mature and realizing that he needs more helpers?

Did he make a move for Leitner to subdue the veteran?

Collins didn't know, but that's how it turned out.

Lightner began to have a chemical reaction with Yu Fei, which was unimaginable before.

And Leitner, who wholeheartedly cooperated with Yu Fei, made the roll call tactic more powerful.

In Collins' impression, in the second half of the second quarter, whenever the Wizards needed someone to come out and forcibly complete the tactics that could not be carried out, Yu Fei would name O'Neal.

He succeeded every time.

Lightner's range opened up plenty of space for him, and O'Neal's inability to do anything about the pick-and-roll boosted Yu Fei's confidence.

Is this style of play sustainable?

Collins didn't know the answer, but he really didn't know how many inside lines could limit Yu Fei's roll call.

Garnett?

Maybe another Duncan?

Is there more?

What does it mean if there are only two inside lines in the whole league who can defend against Yu Fei's roll call? Collins' mind was messed up, he didn't know, but he was excited.

As Collins' hope of winning, Yu Fei didn't have so many ideas.

Even, before he walked into the players' tunnel, he heard Lakers fans shouting that he was "trash" and that the Wizards were a "garbage team".

Yu Fei returned to the locker room, which was quiet, and he saw satisfaction on the faces of some of his teammates.

Why not? They were two points ahead of the defending champions at half-time.

They are proud enough.

Is that enough for them?

That's enough for a team called "garbage".

It can even be said that trailing by 2 points at halftime is a shame for the Lakers and a glory for the Wizards.

Then Collins walked in and congratulated the players with a red face: "Very exciting! It was our best first half of the season! But that's not the end of the race, we're only halfway through the race, and we're going to keep running! ”

Everyone agreed, but Yu Fei couldn't help but pour cold water on them.

"It's strange to say that we were the lead, but when I walked off the court, the Lakers fans called us trash."

As soon as Yu Fei's voice fell, the atmosphere in the locker room became solemn.

"What are you kidding, we're on the lead!" Jasidy White yelled, "They have to respect us!" ”

"That's right, they should respect us." "But they can also disrespect us, because they have OK, they have a team that is scheduled to win this year's championship, and what about us?" We don't have MJ, we don't have Rip, we're a team that fights for the playoffs, I'm an arrogant rookie, Tyronn is LA's outcast, Jasidy, you're the MCI clown, Christian? Your pick-and-roll stinks worse than shit, Bobby, Kwamei."

"Look at our gang, why do they respect us?" Yu Fei said self-deprecatingly, "We just led by 2 points in the first half and felt that it was enough to play like this tonight, we don't respect ourselves, we only like the current lead, and we don't dare to hope for the end of the second half, while Lakers fans believe they can win because we are garbage, they are champions." ”

The scene was silent.

Collins didn't know why Yu Fei said these things when he was on good momentum, until—

'The only way to get respect is to win, not to lead them by two points at the end of the first half.' Yu Fei said to White, "Do you want to win?" ”

"Or do you want to continue to be treated like garbage?"

"Do you want to continue to be called a burden by the people around MJ?"

"Do you want Rip to regret that he quit our 'garbage' team halfway through?"

"Do you want to shut up those bastards who say we're good for nothing without MJ and Rip?"

Finally someone couldn't help it, and it was Jasidy White, who was the bold voicer: "Think! I think about it every day! ”

"Then use your all-out strength against Shaq in the second half!" Yu Fei faced everyone, "Whoever retreats tonight will be forever trash!" It's our chance to prove ourselves, and once lost, it never comes back! No one will save us but ourselves! It's just us! ”

Suddenly, everybody was taking a stand.

The players cursed and wanted to fight the Lakers for their lives.

The locker room suddenly turned into a furnace, and even those who didn't have to play were burned.

Steve Whitch, a reporter for the Washington Post, wanted Jordan to know what was going on here, and he wanted Jordan to know how appealing Yu Fei was right now.

However, he was reluctant to spoil the scene.

Recalling what Yu Feilai did, Whitech inexplicably believes that this 19-year-old young man may really be able to lead this "garbage" team to make some achievements.

"We may be driven crazy by life, but some people are crazy all the time."

Whitech wrote in his notes tonight.

At the start of the second half, the Wizards showed a completely different attitude.

Yu Fei missed a pull-up jumper, and then, Jasidy White and Popayer Jones collided with the Lakers' interior like tigers.

They didn't grab offensive rebounds, but they showed their resolve with an unshakable attitude.

The Lakers' style of play has also changed, O'Neal no longer pursues low-post domination, and more on the inside, and then suddenly unloads and runs to the basket.

This kind of accidental offense is difficult to be coherent, so the Lakers' offensive focus mainly falls on Kobe.

Because Kobe Bryant's three-point shooting percentage is not high this season, the Wizards have a lot to do when defending Kobe's ball-handling offense.

Therefore, although the Lakers' offensive focus has shifted from the inside to the outside, the offensive continuity is insufficient, and the problem of tactical constipation has not been solved.

Joint defense, three-second defense, and Kobe's three-point shooting percentage are the problems that the Lakers currently have no solution to.

And what really made the Wizards drag the game to death was still all the players who tried their best.

Jasidy White was knocked to the ground by O'Neill several times.

He no longer blindly fouls.

But in the end, he paid for his sixth foul on O'Neal four minutes before the end of the fourth quarter.

He didn't make O'Neill feel better.

O'Neal has left a lot of his paw prints and palm prints on his body, and he has done his best, as Yu Fei said, to fight to win against the Lakers, not to fight for a two-point lead over the Lakers in the first half.

Popeye Jones also showed his full energy as a support defender, making three blocks and bringing scarce firepower to the Wizards with mid-range shots and secondary offense.

Tyronn Lue is even more frantic to attack the Lakers' interior, and he can't wait to take every opportunity to launch a fast break, and there is no better reason for him to prove himself in front of the Lakers.

Christian Leitner, Kwame Brown, Bobby Simmons

Yu Fei's "garbage teammates" did not perform garbage in the second half, although they were mediocre, they gave everything they had.

That's why the Wizards still have a three-point lead over the Lakers just a minute before the end of the game.

Then, the cold-blooded Kobe Bryant made an unreasonable three-point whistle to equalize the score.

Yu Feiyang raised his hand and called Lightner to block the dismantle.

At this time, Lightner had already done an unknown number of blocks and dismantles for him, and his physical strength had long been exhausted, but he still ran out regardless of it, blocking people in a blurred consciousness, and pulling away.

Yu Fei shook off the defender and made a stop-and-go jump shot on the right side of the free throw line.

104 to 102

The Wizards took the lead again with less than 30 seconds left in the game.

The Lakers asked for a timeout.

The Wizards know that they will give the ball to Kobe, and what will Kobe do with the ball?

I'm afraid even the god of basketball doesn't have an answer.

If Yu Fei's stereotype of Kobe Bryant is correct, then Kobe Bryant will be desperate to make himself the hero of this game.

That is, he will force his last shot regardless of all objective circumstances.

Based on this cognition, Yu Fei suddenly gave up his defender (Fox) after the Lakers sent the ball, and sent a bold and adventurous advance package to Kobe.

This is the thinking of young people, this is the audacity of the strong-blooded, and this is the choice that only those who are confident and dare to take risks will make.

He's right!

Bryant dribbled along the baseline, and even if his teammates were already empty, even if the shot was unlucky, he still had to force this difficult jump shot with little chance of hitting.

"Bang!"

It didn't go in!

But the Lakers have never been the only Kobe Bryant.

Shaquille O'Neal jumped from under the basket, his terrifying body obscuring the sky for a split second, allowing him to grab the ball and then smash it into the basket with all his might.

Boom, the Lakers tied the score!

"Incredible Shaq!"

"Superman, he's here!"

104 to 104

There were 8 seconds left until the end of the race.

Doug Collins clenched his fists, and he certainly knew they wouldn't be able to afford to fight again if the match dragged on to extra time.

Yu Fei was tired, he had been playing for 46 minutes.

The interior is either full of fouls or has a lot of fouls on their backs.

The others are also tired and this game must be over in regulation time.

He wanted to win against Phil Jackson, but he didn't know if his team would be able to hold the final eight seconds.

Doug Collins, who has always been good at on-the-spot countermeasures, was panicked at this time.

The Wizards asked for a timeout.

Just when Collins' mind went blank, a man walked up to him and said in a soft but confident tone, "Coach, give me the ball and we'll walk out of Staples with victory." ”

For a moment, Collins was stunned.

He remembers saying something similar to a player in the final moments of his first game in charge of the Chicago Bulls 16 years ago.

That person seems to have come from God and returned to God in 1998, and mortals like them are destined to return to dust, the rotten world belongs to incompetent mortals, and the greedy God will always keep the best people around.

But last year, that Son of God decided to return to basketball.

And Doug Collins soon understood that he was no longer that person.

His loyalty and following are just a form of inertia and dependence, and there may be a little gratitude, but he really knows that he is no longer that person.

"Good!" Collins shouted as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "What are you going to do?" ”

Yu Fei said: "Let Taryn serve me, let Christian prepare to give me the last block of the night, and let me do the rest." ”

He said it in front of his teammates.

Collins froze and looked at the others: "Did you all hear that?" ”

Everyone nodded, and a few responded.

"That's what we do!" Collins exclaimed.

The pause is over.

Yu Fei led his teammates onto the field, Collins looked at them, just felt hot-headed, his hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't help but squat down.

When he saw the eyes of the other players looking at Yu Fei, he knew that this team had changed its face. These people already know who the real one is worth following, and they will burn everything for that one worthy of following, even if they destroy themselves.

That guy will take them to win!

Even if it's just as a witness, even if it's just watching from the sidelines.

Because this group of people called "garbage" is fighting for themselves only at this moment!

The whistle blew, the ball was served, Yu Fei gently slapped the basketball on the outside, and when the clock entered the last five seconds, he waved his hand, and Leitner ran over.

The Lakers clearly had a design for their final defense, and Jackson asked the team to break through the final pack.

However, Yu Fei saw through the opponent's intentions at the moment of breaking in the direction of blocking and dismantling, but in an instant, he collected the ball, retreated, retreated to the three-point line, and found the absolute balance of body, breath and rhythm 0.7 seconds before the end, it was an incomparably harmonious moment, it was an undoubted moment of ruling!

"Last Moments, Frye Yu !!!!"

"Whoa!!!!!!!

"He did it! He did it! OMG！ Frye was Washington's savior!! ”

Collins roared and rushed to the field, hugged Yu Fei, and roared uncontrollably: "We won!" We won! We won!! ”

Then there were all the teammates, Yu Fei was submerged, picked up, worshipped, and looked up to.

When the overlord falls, a new era is at hand.

Post-match interview

"Frye is the chosen one, I have no doubt about it, he proved himself, he is the best, he really is the best, give him time and he will prove everything!" - Doug Collins on Yu Fei's performance tonight.

"If some people have to say we're trash, we're proud trash, and I'm incredibly proud of what we did tonight!" - Jasidy White said excitedly to the media.

'I can count on Frye and Fry can count on me, that's our relationship, we may not be very good friends, but on the pitch, we're close. - Christian Leitner on Yu Fei pushing O'Neill for himself.

"I don't remember a lot of things I did in Los Angeles, the most important thing is that we won the game, didn't we?" - Tyronn Lue was asked about the Lakers.

"It's just a game, I'll congratulate and move on. Number 44 you say? He's good, well, he's good, all I can say is that he's good. —Phil Jackson on the game and Yu Fei.

"It's nothing special, we've lost a lot of bad teams, and there's no shortage of this one." – Shaquille O'Neal on losing.

"Next question." - Shaquille O'Neal refuses to answer questions about flying.

"That's my basketball, and I don't regret it anyway, I just didn't shoot, and that doesn't mean it was wrong. I've known Frye for a while now, I love his authenticity, bravery and confidence, he's my favorite rookie for a while, as long as you've played against him you've been infected by his charisma, I love playing against him, as for hating Shaq. You can't expect everybody to like Shaq, like I've long since given up on letting everybody like me. - Kobe Bryant on the game, Yu Fei and O'Neal.

"Fry, is it true that you've heard you say to Gwyneth Paltrow during the game that she's a 'Karl Malone-esque parallel import'? What does this mean? ”

"I think the MVP of the 1998-1999 season should be Tim Duncan, just like the 1999 Oscar for Best Actress should be Cate Blanchett instead of Gwyneth Paltrow."

"Would you like to talk about the friction you had with Shaq on the field?"

"Oh, that's nothing, Shaq thought some of my statements before I went into the NBA were a little offensive, so I decided to do something that really offended him."

"Like pushing him down on the field?"

"No, that's not, it's just that I can't accept him bullying my teammates, he did it first, and he was a lot of a fake fall, you just have to think about his physique, you know it's almost impossible for me to push him to the ground in one fell swoop."

"You got your eighth triple-double of the season tonight and your third solo of the season, what was the biggest takeaway from this game?"

"I don't care about my stats, and neither should you, what really deserves to be valued is how me and my teammates fight with dignity on the field, we don't want to be treated as vassals of others, we're not trash, we fight for ourselves. If we hadn't won, none of this would have been possible. So, if you're wondering what I've learned in this game, I did get some. ”

"What is it?"

"Victory is not everything, victory is the only thing."

(Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing)
