The Bucks picked up their mood and rushed to the road.

The place to go this time is a little special, it's almost the largest market in the whole league - New York.

However, the Knicks are no longer the gangster team that fought the Bulls' first dynasty, lost to the 94 Rockets, and fought with their own clone team, the Miami Heat, for years.

Trading Patrick Ewing was a watershed moment for them.

Now, New York fans have to watch Antonio McDyce limp around the court, put up with Glenn Robinson's "15 points per game is enough for me" nature, have Charlie Wharton and Howard Ellis arguing about who is the worse player, Kurt Thomas looks a little crazy and lost, Alan Houston is like a disoriented zebra, and general manager Scott Lydon can only hide in the VIP box and pretend that none of this is his fault.

The New Yorkers want the team to be led by Mike Corleone (The Godfather protagonist), however the combination of James Dolan and Scott Lydon looks like a super double of Sonny Corleone and Fredo Corleone (1).

(1) For those who haven't read "The Godfather", Sonny is a grumpy big brother, and he has no brains to do things and finally dies. Fredo is a scum who has more than enough success and more than failure, and was finally executed by the protagonist in the second part.

Yu Fei once felt powerless because of the chaotic relationship within the team, but looking at the situation of the Knicks, what more could he ask for?

While the Bucks have their own problems, they are by no means rotten to the root like the Knicks.

"Trevor, if it were you, how would you save the Knicks?"

Yu Fei questioned Trevor White, a reporter for the Milwaukee Sentinel, on the plane.

White grabbed a cup of coffee and said lightly, "My choice is the same as that of the New York fans." ”

Yu Fei understood.

What White meant was that he and the group of people who were holding a draft at Madison Garden shouted "Fire Scott Lydon!" when the Knicks lost their home game. "It's the same idea.

It seems that the Knicks fan version has not evolved to ask Dolan Jr. to sell the team.

But that's where the most desperate thing is, because no matter what they shout, Dolan Jr. won't sell the team.

After that, there was no word all the way.

For some of the Bucks, tonight's game against the Knicks was special.

Like Ratriel Sprewell.

Perhaps because of the big market of New York, there is a strong reality of the love and hate of the players by local fans.

You're in your prime, and when you're at your peak, they love you, even if you almost strangle your manager.

Once you start to slide, become unstable and can't lead the team back to the top, they will become mean and snobbish, and you may want to get a little love and understanding in them, but they will only become more critical.

It took only a few years for Sprewell to go from being a reformed hero to an outcast in New York.

It made him feel compelled to do something tonight to get revenge on the ungrateful fans.

ABC, the NBA's new cable partner, cleverly broadcast the game live across the United States.

Even if you don't look at the Knicks' big market, Sprewell and Robinson's gimmick in the face of the old master is enough.

Before the opening, Yu Fei went to the studio to accept a pre-game interview.

The ABC reporter asked Yu Fei a sensitive question: "Does George Carr's words bother you?" ”

Yu Fei thought to himself that this should refer to Karl's remarks that the starters were irresponsible after playing Magic.

Yu Fei's face didn't change at all, "I asked George, and he wasn't talking about me, so I have no problem with that." ”

The ABC reporter looked like he wanted to make a big news: "Who do you think Coach Carl is talking about?" ”

"I don't know, and I don't want to know, as long as it's not me."

Yu Fei blocked the other party's problem in the simplest way.

Then, Yu Fei returned to the locker room to prepare for tonight's game.

Soon, the game began.

Yu Fei has no special feelings for the Knicks, so his motivation for the game is very pure, just to win.

And with a personal emotion like Sprewell, his desire to perform will be much higher.

In the two games so far this season, Sprewell's performance can be described as miserable, with a total of 7 of 26 shots, averaging only 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

With the Bucks, Sprewell didn't have the offensive position of the Knicks, or in George Karl's near-egalitarian offensive system, no one had the usual star privileges of the moment.

What Karl needs is a defense from Sprewell.

Sprewell has always considered himself to be an offensive and defensive player, and he will only defend with all his might when he has a particularly bad hand.

Today, Sprewell broke Carl's rules.

As long as the ball is in his hand, he won't pass it out.

This made Carl furious.

But what kept Carl in check was Sprewell's efficient offense.

Yu Fei has always felt that Sprewell is the earliest magic ball man, and tonight, his performance confirmed Yu Fei's guess.

Sprewell never makes a shot, and for him, offense is all about three-pointers and driving layups.

When he has a three-point touch, he plays like a scorer in the small-ball era.

As soon as Sprewell felt it, Yu Fei's positional battle scene was weakened, and he knew the meaning of this game to the madman, so the opponent could fight as much as he wanted.

As long as you can get in.

In addition to passing, blocking, and blocking, Yu Fei's main source of scoring is the defensive counterattack after catching the Knicks' positional battle.

Tonight's Yu Fei showed a variety of counterattack methods.

One-stop dunk, emergency stop change jump step layup, European step rebound and even European step dunk.

On the night when Sprewell shone in the garden, Yu Fei scored 17 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists with a fancy counterattack.

And the real focus is still on Sprewell.

On the opposite side, Glenn Robinson had no desire to go all out in front of his old master, and he scored 18 points and died, while Sprewell was on fire, shooting 15 of 21, including 5 of 7 three-pointers, and cutting 40 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and was elected the best of the game.

"For those who think I'm no longer good, this fight is a knockout for them!"

Since the 90s, Sprewell's image has been linked to violence.

And tonight, after scoring 40 points, he looked like a serial killer who can't get enough of it.

Anthony Mason disagrees: "If I had made so many shots, some people would have said that I was selfish and ruined the team's rhythm because I only got less than $4 million a year." But if it's those who make tens of millions a year to do it, you think it's right. I wonder when exactly this double standard will end? ”

George Carr was equally appreciative and dissenting: "Spree played a great game and I'm glad he's finally found his feelings. However, if 20 of his 40 points were scored by two other teammates, it would have been easier for us to win. ”

The players and coaching staff have rhythm masters, and the New York media naturally asked Yu Fei what he thinks.

"Fry, what do you think of Ratrier's 40 points?"

"What do you think I should think? Actually, I'd like to ask you guys what you think, do you like this deal? Yu Fei retorted, "It's useless if you don't like it, Spree is no longer a member of the New York Knicks!" ”

After leaving New York, the Bucks returned to their home court.

They have two days off before they take on the New Jersey Nets, the top team in the East.

If you want to say which team has the best chance of stealing a championship under the Western champions, it must be the Nets.

Despite the heavy loss to the Lakers in the Finals last season, the Nets also learned their lesson in time, decisively trading the useless Keith Van Horne and trading Deacon Beymbe Mutombo from Larry Brown, who had already been driven crazy by Iverson.

The most outrageous thing about this deal is that Van Horn is the type of player that Larry Brown hates the most, just as Mutombo is Larry Brown's favorite type of player.

Why do you trade your favorite player for a player you hate the most? He's crazy, he's given up on the original team building plan, he's already frustrated with the 76ers, that's the only explanation.

The Nets, on the other hand, have strengthened their interior line, and while the 36-year-old Mutombo is no longer the Defensive Player of the Year of the year a year ago, his ability to protect the basket and his rebounding protection are not comparable to Van Horne's.

Facing the upcoming best team in the East, the head coach of the Bucks is distracted by other things.

Ratriel Sprewell had just had a perfect night, and Carl knew he shouldn't have disturbed his good mood so quickly.

However, when Carl saw that Sprewell had no intention of going toe-to-toe with Yu Fei in the match, he had an impulse deep down that he needed to urge the players to move forward, and it was his obligation.

49 to 33

Yu Fei's team won a big victory, and the first credit was naturally Yu Fei, who actually got a triple-double in a confrontation match, and the unsung hero was Ray Allen, whose three points were like rain.

George Carr's face was gloomy as he walked towards the unimpressed Sprewell.

"Spree, why can't you be a little more positive?" Karl asked with a disgruntled face, "Where did that crazy winner go yesterday?" If you play like you did last night, you'll win this game! ”

Sprewell asked a question that even Carl couldn't answer: "What's the point of that?" ”

"It's this kind of slackness! Damn it! Carl seemed to go crazy, "You just got infected with that lazy dog of Glenn Robinson after a fight!" That's it! That's what makes us lose our way! We went off course last year because of this damn slackness! If you don't cheer up, we're never going to get a good result! ”

The innocent Sprewell was inexplicably reprimanded.

Did George Carr act like a madman only once in a while, or did he always do it?

In Yu Fei's impression, he always seems to be like this.

Yu Fei couldn't imagine that Doug Collins was as crazy as George Carr, and he couldn't imagine Collins criticizing Jordan like Carl had just done to Sprewell.

But is Carl really fearless?

Not really, as far as Yu Fei knows, there is a person on the Bucks team that he would never dare to spray.

Yu Fei looked at Anthony Mason, who had been complaining constantly since the beginning of the season.

Mason ignored Carl.

Carl also ignored Mason.

Will this two-way ignorance solve the problem?

Yu Fei didn't believe it, although this matter had nothing to do with him, but as Mason's complaints became more and more harsh, he gradually felt that this was a problem that should be solved as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Yu Fei asked Ray Allen, "Rey-ray, has our coach tried to use his set on Anthony?" ”

"Of course." Rey-ray replied sarcastically, "But he got the phrase 'dead fat pig.'" ”

George Carr's withdrawal proves one thing, he is not really a tough guy, he can be "raided".

Yu Fei refers to, like Jordan's "Raiders" Collins.

Of course, Yu Fei will not try Mason's method, he will not say that Carl is a "dead fat pig", which is too rude.

This is a method that only a rough brother like Mason would use, although it scared Carl, but it also blocked the bridge of communication between the two sides. In Yu Fei's view, Jordan's domestication of Collins is worth learning.

Yu Fei doesn't need the coach to "surrender" like Collins did to Jordan, in his opinion, as long as the coach is "obedient" at the right time, it is enough.

He still has a long way to go to do that.

evening

Bradley Center has been the home arena of the Bucks since it opened in 1988.

However, due to the increasing number of teams using the new arena in recent years, the facilities at Bradley Center are clearly outdated.

The problem is most pronounced in the heating system of the arena.

This reminded Yu Fei of the days in his previous life, when he went to school in the winter, took off his coat after school, and played on the open-air court against the cold wind.

Wait until physical activity is on, and you can naturally resist the cold. But this is the NBA, and Yu Fei didn't expect him to have a similar problem here.

Last time, I wasn't fully prepared for the magic, and I didn't know how bad the situation was until I flew to the scene.

This time he kept an eye on it and went to the home stadium an hour early to warm up.

He is very serious about the Nets because they were eliminated last season.

In fact, the elimination is eliminated, the Wizards were originally the eighth in the East, and it is normal to lose to the first in the East, but some people in the Nets like to face.

2000 No. 1 pick Kenyon Martin said Yu Fei was overrated after knocking out the Wizards.

Then Yu Fei satirized his Chinese tattoo.

This is where the feud between the two sides comes from.

When the Nets arrive on the floor, it is customary for the two main players to greet each other in the halfcourt.

Jason Kidd simply greeted Yu Fei and then chatted with Ray Allen.

Kenyon Martin was less friendly, "Yo, is that you, was you eliminated so quickly?" ”

"Don't talk to me, little minion who was swept by the Lakers." Yu Fei looked at Kidd, "Jason, I heard that this year is your contract year?" ”

Kidd smiled and asked, "Any questions?" ”

"I suggest you run away when the season is over." Yu Fei said, "It's impossible to win the championship with this person." ”

If you don't speculate, more than half a sentence means that you will be scolded if you say more than half a sentence.

So Yu Fei and Martin scolded in the midfield.

What was supposed to be a friendly session between the two sides turned out to be a verbal hunt for the women of the other family.
