Doug Collins walked up to Jordan and took a subordinate posture: "Michael, are you feeling okay?" ”

The subtext is, should you take a break?

Now that Jordan is resting, you can avoid Yu Fei's edge.

But the opening less than three minutes before the break, the intention to avoid the game was too obvious.

"I feel good." Jordan had no intention of going down, "but we have to adjust our interior line." ”

Jordan's will overrides Collins' coaching authority, and he must ask, "How to adjust?" ”

"Replace Tim (Thomas) and get Oak on." Jordan said.

Collins squinted slightly, and last season's defeat taught Jordan and his team a lesson: don't try to find problems for yourself.

Therefore, when it comes to the draft, they no longer look for players with unlimited potential but problematic personalities, but instead focus on those mature, steady, serious, and obedient college players. This kind of person has little chance of achieving greatness in the NBA, and can only provide a plug-and-play reliable service at best. This is a shift in the draft strategy of the Jordan team, and the recruitment is more straightforward.

Jordan fully explains what cronyism is, just as he trusts Rod Higgins, assistant to the general manager. As a result, Jordan favors the old men he knows well, especially those who are still struggling in the league, such as Charles Oakley, who is about to turn 39.

Oakley in 2002 is like Reiko Kobayakawa in 2023, and fans are amazed at how long the former is, just as fans are impressed by the length of the career of the Dark Realm Tanmi.

The question is, what is the purpose of signing Oakley? Does Jordan still need bodyguards now? Who would dare to do it to him on the field?

What's more, today's NBA no longer has a real "executor".

The golden age of thugs is long over.

If it weren't for Oakley's ability to rebound and defend, he would have been eliminated from the league long ago.

Jordan's decision to let Oakley play left Collins frustrated.

Oakley at his peak could still escort the star of the house, and now let him go, except for the superficial toughness, it will not have any effect at all.

But this is Jordan's team.

Whoever Jordan wants, he lets him go.

At the end of the timeout, Collins saw that the Bucks replaced Ray Allen with Devin George, and knew that George Karl had decided to let Yu Fei go alone to the end.

In less than three minutes of the first quarter, Yu Fei had already scored eight points, and if the timeout didn't disrupt his touch, Collins felt that the banished Chosen One had a good chance of scoring a career-high tonight.

In the Wizards' offensive round, Jordan wanted to get the ball, but Yu Fei never let him be in a comfortable position.

This is Yu Fei's strategy.

It's impossible to keep Jordan out of the ball altogether, but it's possible to push Jordan out of the dessert zone.

And, he knows where Jordan likes to attack.

Once he is kept away from those positions, his shooting percentage will also drop.

Yu Fei rarely goes all out when defending alone, and Jordan is a rare person who makes him completely unproductive when defending.

Cassel watched for a few seconds and felt that something was going to happen to Jordan when he gave the ball to him.

Because Jordan has never been stuck in a safe position, if Yu Fei suddenly makes a difficulty, it is difficult to say whether the ball will be given to Jordan, or it will be destroyed or even stealed by Yu Fei.

Cassel opted for Starkerhouse to pick up the ball at the free-throw line.

Stackhouse against Devin George, no work, all talent, obviously fast speed, but because of his poor ability to hold the ball, he couldn't shake off the defense at all.

I saw Jordan's junior tossing there for a long time, and then came to a sharp stop and turned back to shoot a jumper.

The last time I saw someone play this kind of difficulty was when I played against the Lakers.

Stackhouse suddenly came to this hand, and George's interference was extremely limited, and it was up to the opponent whether to score or not.

"Bang!"

The result is not in.

But Oakley seemed to want to prove that he was right, and actually grabbed the offensive rebound and scored a second offense under the basket.

8 to 5

"If you don't even have the awareness to help your teammates protect their rebounds, all I can say is that you're not making any progress." Jordan squirted Yu Fei coldly.

It can be seen that he has endured it for a while, otherwise he would not have used this reason to spit trash talk.

Yu Fei glanced at Oakley in the distance with bad intentions.

Behind him, Sprewell asked, "Do you want the ball?" ”

"Absolutely."

As soon as Yu Fei replied, Sprewell passed the ball over.

Then, Yu Fei clearly gestured to Leitner and asked him to come out to block the demolition.

Why did the Wizards bring on Oakley at this time? This question is easy to understand, Oakley himself was tired of doing dirty work in the last era, and since he was going to be replaced, he must want him to do a little dirty work.

But sometimes, getting too caught up in an era that has ended doesn't end well.

Lightner blocked and fell, Oakley took the initiative to change the defense, and Yu flew past him without any effort, instantly close, blink of an eye, Oakley's defense was pushed away, and rushed into the basket for a layup.

"10 to 0." Yu Fei first defiantly reported the scoring ratio of the two to Jordan, and then glanced at Oakley, who had a bad face, "Defend well, otherwise he will trade you again." ”

Yu Fei's blatant "wronged" Jordan really made Flyer feel aggrieved, who doesn't know that he was resolutely opposed to trading Oakley? But Klaus remained adamant and traded Oakley for Cartwright from New York. Jordan, who had to be separated from his friends, took all his anger out on Cartwright, publicly clamoring for not passing the ball to Cartwright because of his inefficient offense, and mocking Cartwright's technical moves. It wasn't until Cartwright threatened Jordan one day that he would break his leg if he didn't stop bullying — and then Cartwright earned Jordan's respect.

is obviously a story about the bad reputation of being isolated and bullying new teammates for the sake of a good brother, but Yu Fei said that it was Jordan himself who traded Oakley.

"You don't understand anything at all!"

Jordan ran to the front court and said to Fei.

That's a good point, but why should people understand?

Just ask you if it's a fact that Oakley was traded?

Yu Fei responded provocatively: "Does an old waste who can't afford it dare to speak so loudly?" ”

Jordan's blood rage was triggered, and he angrily asked for the ball, and then without making any unnecessary moves, he jumped backwards on the spot and made a step-back jumper with a huge arc.

Finally, Jordan, who was furious, scored a broken egg.

7 to 10

"That's it, there are backs and backs to call it a duel!"

"Michael is finally in Superman Mode!"

Bill Wharton applauded, and then, in less than ten seconds, Yu Fei directly held the ball on the outside and changed direction to the left sharply, shaking Jordan's center of gravity away, and then collected the ball as soon as possible, and pulled out a three-point shot at the top of the arc.

Jordan's defense was completely crushed, and it wasn't until Yu Fei's ball flew to the top that he realized he was going to get stuck.

However, Yu Fei didn't even have the heart to look at the basket, because Fang Cai's shot felt good.

You can't go wrong with that feeling.

"Huh!"

"13 to 7! Frye has taken all of the Bucks' points so far! So far, the Bucks haven't had a second person touch the ball in the frontcourt when they are attacking! ”

Brad Nesler made the most unusual point so far.

Yu Fei is playing one-man basketball.

Moreover, it is effective.

Scoring 13 points in less than five minutes is terrifying.

Jordan, who has lost his athleticism, can't attack as freely as Yu Fei does.

Especially under Yu Fei's defense, he needs to be cautious every time he shoots.

Although Fang Cai's sudden turn-around back-to-back jumper was successful, it must not be used continuously, because Yu Fei had already taken precautions.

"Do you want me to remind you of the score ratio between us?"

After Jordan got the ball, Yu Fei's trash talk followed.

"13 to 2."

Yu Fei's tone was not cold, and compared to Larry Bird's role as a ruthless broadcast machine in front of Dr. J, Yu Fei had more thoughts of revenge and humiliation of his opponent.

Bird's humiliation of Dr. J is proof that the new generation of superstars has put an end to the superstars of the old era, and Yu Fei is not.

This is a personal vendetta.

He wants to make Jordan unhappy, he wants to make Jordan feel that his personality is insulted, and that's what he's for.

Therefore, when Yu Fei used "13 to 2" to force Jordan to make another step-back jumper, he was already ready.

The furious Jordan forgot that there was a significant gap in body size between him and Yu Fei, a gap of 198 cm and 206 cm, a gap of nearly 10 cm in arm span, and a gap in physical fitness by a generation. These disparities led to devastating consequences for Jordan's forcible shot.

Yu Fei accurately grabbed the node where Jordan jumped, jumped up with a faster bullet speed, and slammed forward.

"Bang!"

Jordan's shot was fanned out of bounds by Yu Fei.

"Angry? Can you tell us more about that? Yu Fei sneered against Jordan's body, "It's about you winning six championships, I haven't heard it for a long time, can you say it again?" ”

When a proud person is cornered, and the brilliant achievements of achieving his exalted position are spoken in a contemptuous tone by the junior, the stirring of emotions is striking.

Jordan, who lost his mind, pushed Yu Fei away in front of him and yelled, "You're not qualified to say those things to me!" ”

The referee stopped the game, and Yu Fei grabbed the subsection in Jordan's words, "Qualification?" Why am I not eligible? Because I don't have a champion? By the way, this is it, you have six championships, so I'm not qualified to trash talk to you. That's right, I like to see you talk about the championship when you're defeated, that's all that's left, it's enough for you to have this. ”

If it weren't for the fact that teammates on both sides had already participated in the mediation, Yu Fei and Jordan would have erupted into a bigger conflict on the spot.

Eventually, the Bucks asked for a timeout.

George Carr walked around in front of Yu Fei, not knowing what to say.

"I know what I'm doing."

Yu Fei said before he was stunned by Carl.

"You know what you're doing? Thank God! You know what you're doing! Karl laughed angrily, "In the opening half of the quarter, your teammates didn't touch the ball when they attacked, and you, who are obviously in great shape but obsessed with personal grudges?" Tonight is probably the best night you've had since entering the NBA, what would you like to commemorate it with? In memory of your fight on the pitch with a forty-year-old man? Are you serious? ”

Yu Fei considers himself a pacifist, and he will not take the initiative to fight on the field.

However, listening to Carl's words, Yu Fei felt that if the fight really started just now, it might be a major blow to Jordan's reputation.

"Michael Jordan punches and kicks his opponent because he lost on the court," Yu Fei asked with a smile, "How pleasant does this news headline sound?" ”

About Yu Fei and Jordan, Carl had only heard about it.

But as Yu Fei was uncharacteristically aggressive and wanted to tear Jordan apart on the court, he knew how big the contradiction between the two was.

It's no wonder Jordan made the trade.

With his current strength, he can't suppress Yu Fei at all, and if he doesn't trade, the sophomore Yu Fei will take away the dominance of the Wizards.

How strong Yu Fei is, Carl has learned during the time that the bucks have been with him.

Carl let out a sigh and said in a deep voice, "I don't care how big a grudge you have with Michael, now I'm going to replace you and calm down for a while." ”

Yu Fei said: "This is your right, I accept it." ”

Carl felt that he should be happy and satisfied, because Yu Fei still recognized his power.

If he doesn't approve, then what he hears will be "I say no".

In this way, Karl replaced Yu Fei, who scored 13 points in less than half a quarter.

Ray Allen said the same thing when he came on the pitch: "No matter how angry you are, it's not a reason for you to completely ignore your teammates on the offensive end!" ”

"I do have a lot to be desired." Yu Fei humbly said, "I still have to learn more from you, Rey-ray." ”

Ray Allen, who really thinks of himself as the boss, snorted softly: "Then look good off the field and study hard!" ”

Yu Fei blinked: "Okay." ”

Yu Fei was replaced, and Jordan stayed on the court instead.

It didn't take long for Jordan to hit a graceful turnaround jumper on Ray Allen's head.

That was his second goal of the night and the last one he made in the first quarter.

Ray Allen's return has energized the Bucks' offense, and his shooting threat has benefited both Sprewell's breakaway and Mason's interior singles.

Ironically, though, in the remaining half of the first quarter, the Bucks, who had resumed their team basketball play, did not score as much as they did in the flying.

For nearly seven minutes, the Bucks were inaccurate from the outside, scoring 12 points on attacking baskets and a couple of free throws.

Fortunately, the Wizards' offense is also struggling, and the Bucks still maintain the lead.

The first quarter ended, 21-25.

The Wizards, playing at home, entered the second quarter with a four-point deficit.

Four minutes into the second quarter, the Wizards tied the score with Kassel's excellent rhythm of control.

31 to 31

At this moment, Carl was replaced by Yu Fei, who had been resting for a long time.

"Can I fire freely?" Yu Fei asked Carl.

Karl said angrily, "Does my opinion matter to you?" ”

"It doesn't matter."

"And what do you ask?"

"Prepare you."

He's so caring.

George Carr smiled more ugly than crying: "I'm a stupid coach tonight, you are free." ”

Collins seems to have deliberately staggered Jordan's playing time with Yu Fei.

Just a few minutes after Fei came on the court, Jordan was replaced.

"What will the hunter do if he can't find his prey?"

It's as if Jordan isn't there, Yu Fei's aggressiveness will be weakened.

Yu Fei's mind recalled George Carr's words.

If this is his best night in the NBA in his two years, what does he want to be remembered?

Then, Sam Cassel's face came into his sight.

"You don't think beating 39-year-old MJ is a great thing, do you?" Kassel scoffed, "A lot of people can do it now, it's not a big deal at all!" ”

Who would have thought that the most plausible sentence tonight would be uttered by the most unique-looking ugly man in NBA history?

Yu Fei opened his hand, and the basketball flew into his palm.

"You're right." Yu Fei's tone was indifferent, but it sounded like an imminent inevitability, "The next one to blow up is you." ”

That was Yu Fei's last words to Sam Cassel before the end of the first half.

Seconds later, Yu Fei's breakthrough caused a foul on Kassel.

The bucks re-serve, and Yu Fei received the ball and broke through Kassel again, but this time the aliens couldn't stop him.

Yu Fei entered the basket and dunked with both hands.

The Wizards tied the score by a single from Stackhouse.

However, Yu Fei called for a pick-and-roll, broke through the Wizards' outside defense without pressure, attacked the inside, and completed a second pull in the air, causing a foul and scoring a basket.

And One!

After hitting the free throw, Yu Fei's personal score came to 18 points.

The Wizards' positional battle was iron, Yu Fei grabbed the defensive rebound, rushed to the top of the frontcourt outside the three-point line, Kassel hesitated, and his chasing three-pointer came out.

Again!

A minute later, Kassel fouled Yu Fei again.

However, Yu Fei then asked for the ball.

This time he took the ball in the low post, with his back to Cassel's big and small, he had no pressure at all, using his body to push under the basket, and then retreated, dangled, and pointed up the defense to make a sharp step forward to hit the time difference and score.

He played exactly the same way as in the first quarter.

As long as you have the ball, there is no option to pass it.

When Cassel fouled Fly for the third time, Collins finally couldn't help but yell: "Bag clip! Don't let him single! ”

When the opponent began to trap Yu Fei, he also reverted to his old style of play, finding a balance between individual attacks and assists to his teammates.

The Wizards couldn't stop him.

But it's not just the Wizards' problem.

"Who's going to stop Frye tonight?" Collins asked the TA next to him.

No one answered.

Then, 30 seconds before the end of the first half, Yu Fei rushed in with Kassel's body like a tank, jumped up in the paint area, knocked the alien out of bounds, and completed a bloody dunk on the head of his friend Kwame Brown.

"Is it a great thing to beat a thirty-three-year-old All-Star?" Yu Fei looked down at Kassel on the ground, "It's not worth mentioning. ”

So what's the big deal?

At halftime, Yu Fei had 30 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and the Bucks led the Wizards by 15 points at 59-44.

With a 15-point advantage, Yu Fei's data looks so dazzling.

But he was still thinking about it, what was the best thing tonight?

If it wasn't to beat Jordan, if it wasn't to blow up Kassel, what was it?

George Carr's halftime interview gives the answer.

ABC's frontline correspondent Michelle Tafoa asked Karl at the end of half-time: "Coach, how important do you think this game is for Fry?" ”

"It's not a problem, Michelle." "The real question is, how important is this game for Frye and Washington?" Frye single-handedly brought the Wizards to the playoffs last season, and after the season, the team rewarded him with a trade to Milwaukee. I think it's important to this game, and it's not the quarrel between Frye and MJ that matters, it's what exactly this deal means. I think Frye gave the answer in the first half. ”

Yu Fei in the second quarter set the tone for the second half.

He's still targeting Jordan, but not just Jordan anymore.

This is manifested in his indiscriminate singles.

No matter who the Wizards arrange to defend him, he will blow it up.

In the third quarter, Yu Fei scored 14 points, all singles.

When the fourth quarter came, Yu Fei's statistics were 44 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

44 points is already a career high for Yu Fei, but it's not over yet.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Yu Fei shook Kassel from the outside, causing the opponent's three-point defensive foul - this is also Kassel's sixth foul tonight.

Sam Cassel fouled and Yu Fei hit all three free throws.

The Wizards' defense against Yu Fei became extreme.

As long as Yu Fei has the ball, the two-man bag is a starting hand, and once he moves, there is usually a third person to join the defense.

In one round, Bobby Simmons, Michael Jordan and Jerry Stackhouse drove him to the bottom corner at the same time.

Yu Fei, on the other hand, jumped off at the edge of the bottom corner, and when he shot, his eyes were almost on the back of the rebound.

However, there is nothing more exciting on the pitch than this.

Like a miracle that happened during a religious ceremony, Yu Fei's bottom corner was two minutes longer than the negative angle, and it happened to fall into the net.

The MCI became dead.

Jordan's eyes widened, and he finally felt what it was like when he was younger, when his opponent defended him.

For most, it's more of a soul-twining education — an education about how Frye Yu will behave if he gets — and for players, a 50-game 30-point scoring performance doesn't carry as much weight as a shocking dominance.

"Do you want to try sending four men to defend me?"

Yu Fei asked heartily.

Crashed.

The Wizards lost their fighting spirit, and the game quickly went into garbage time, and when Yu Fei was replaced, he was left with 56 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists.

In the end, the Bucks defeated the Wizards 122-88 and won the battle that attracted the attention of the United States.

Post-match interview

"I offered to let Frye continue to play and score at least 60 points, but he refused." - George Carr was asked why Yu Fei didn't play in the last eight minutes of garbage time.

"I can't believe anyone can score 56 points on 28 shots, let alone 13 rebounds and five assists, except for a little bit of assists, the rest of the performance is impeccable. Without a doubt, this is the greatest solo performance I've ever seen. - George Carr on Yu Fei's performance tonight.

'Fry didn't pass in the first half and I criticised him, so in the second half he increased his passing, and although there were still too many singles, he was a young man who was very willing to be coached. - Ray Allen on Yu Fei's performance.

"My job tonight is to get the ball to Frye and get out of the way." - Latriel Sprewell on his eight assists.

'We couldn't do anything about Frye tonight, I've never seen anyone play like that. - Jerry Stackhouse on Yu Fei's performance.

"Why can't I touch him on my home turf? If everyone is so protected, it's not a big deal to play like that. Sam Cassel expressed his displeasure at the flying star whistle.

"What's there to say, that's Fry, we didn't even use three men to defend him in the fourth quarter." - Kwame Brown expressed his helplessness at being detained by Yu Fei.

"I salute Frye tonight with his hat off." —Doug Collins on Yu Fei tonight.

(Jordan declined post-game interview)

One of the downsides of being a star in the limelight is that after every game, you always feel like there are media people who can't cope with it.

Live interviews, corridor interviews, locker room interviews, post-match interviews.

And that's not all.

Occasionally, some reporters who know Yu Fei want to make an exclusive appointment for an exclusive interview.

Today, Yu Fei met ESPN's columnist and reporter Adrian Wojnarowski at MCI.

Bad to remember? He also has an abbreviation for his name, which is called WOJ.

That's right, he is the future first generation of whistleblower kings.

But at this time, WOJ was only a well-known reporter and columnist for ESPN, and he did not specialize in professional basketball, but also dabbled in baseball and football.

Since Yu Fei came to Milwaukee, he has been interested in making friends with the media, especially these people at ESPN. He has the impression that these men left ESPN as influential experts. It doesn't hurt to have a good relationship now for the future.

The first question WOJ asks is, "What motivates you tonight?" ”

"To put it simply, love and hate."

"Love or hate? Which is more? ”

"It's hard to say."

"There are a lot of people who think that Washington is a failure to trade you prematurely, what do you think?"

"I'm not going to dwell on what has happened."

"Would you like to talk about the argument you had with Michael in the first quarter?"

Yu Fei smiled, "I said something that I didn't like. ”

"Can you tell me about that?"

"Of course, there's nothing inappropriate for children." Yu Fei said, "At that time, I scored 13 points and he scored 2 points, so I repeatedly reminded him about it. ”

"And then Michael got angry?"

"I don't know, you've all seen what happened."

WOJ asked keenly, "You just mentioned that your motivation tonight is right love and hate, who does your hatred come from?" ”

This is the basic quality of a seasoned journalist, who knows the answer but does not break it.

Because if Yu Fei wants to break it, he will say it himself. If Yu Fei didn't want to break it, asking by himself would make the atmosphere awkward.

According to WOJ's understanding of Fei, this is not a person who knows how to respect his predecessors.

So he will definitely say.

THE RESULT DID NOT SURPRISE WOJ, YU FEI WAS EXPRESSIONLESS, AND SAID IN A FLAT TONE: "MY HATRED COMES FROM THE PERSON WHO DIDN'T EVEN DARE TO ACCEPT THE INTERVIEW TONIGHT." ”

"It's a well-known fact."

No matter what people think of the game, no matter how much sports writers try to value it, the impact is there.

Yu Fei destroyed the Washington Wizards with 56 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, and made the arrogant Michael Jordan refuse the postgame interview.

The impetus that made him accomplish such a feat stemmed from his hatred for Jordan, but when he brought up the source of his resentment, he spoke softly like he talked about his own lunch, and slowly put it down.

Because, Michael Jordan lives in the past, and Yu Fei will continue to move forward with this hatred.
