If the first half of the Bucks was good enough, the second half was remarkable.

Since George Carr did not apologize, the result was not satisfactory for Ray Allen, and Yu Fei saw that he was depressed, so he passed him continuously in the second half.

The night Ray Allen found his groove, his three-pointers kept hitting the target like a sharpshooter.

Ray Allen, who scored just nine points in the first half, scored a team-high 32 points and four rebounds on 7-of-12 shooting from the outside in the second half.

George Karl gave Yu Fei more opportunities in the second half to experiment with "random offense".

Karl spotted a feature of the "random offense".

"Random Attack" is basically a positional battle at a fast attack cadence, so it looks like it's a scrambled battle. But in fact, the players' tactics were well executed, but the team's original tactics were step-by-step, but the pace suddenly increased on the flyers.

Karl, who has always been confident in his skills and tactics, has a rare self-doubt.

Is it that my offensive tactics don't match this style of play?

Is his tactics lagging behind?

Karl immediately rejected the idea.

He can't afford to fall behind, and well-known systems like the Triangle Offense and Princeton, which are currently in the league, emerged more than 40 years ago, and still dominate the NBA, how can his system be behind?

Why, Carl feels that the system is getting more and more awkward on the pilot.

When Leitner was substituted, Karl's self-doubt peaked.

As the inside line with Yu Fei with the most tacit cooperation between the whole team, many blocks and pick-and-rolls between Lightner and Yu Fei can't be regarded as blocks and pick-and-rolls in Carl's opinion.

Leitner didn't block people tightly every time, he just stuck them and then took them apart. And the way of disassembling is simply bizarre, there are all kinds of things, but Fei can completely control his non-mainstream blocking and dismantling methods.

Leitner's pick-and-roll allowed Yu Fei to attack at a faster pace and in a more varied manner.

Finally, George Carr, who has never been presumptuous, thought of another possibility: It's not that I'm too backward, but that Frye's style of play is too advanced?

Five minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, the Bucks led the Nets by 24 points on the road, once again turning the game into garbage time.

Yu Fei and Leitner were replaced.

Carl stopped Leitner alone and asked, "You and Frye's pick-and-roll coordination doesn't seem to be part of our tactics lesson, right?" ”

"The way the pick-and-roll is different, but the tactics are the same." Lightner explained.

"I know, that's why I've let you fight for so long, I just want to know what's going on with your pick-and-roll," Carl said, "what's the doorway?" ”

Leitner was also confused: "I don't know anything about it, Frye taught me to do it." ”

Karl wasn't thick enough to deign to ask his players how to play pick-and-roll.

In his opinion, Leitner's kind of blocking and dismantling is completely evil blocking and dismantling, blocking people and not blocking people, and disassembling is not conventional, all of them are strange routes and angles, although there is a little delay effect, but. It really works, and for Fei, that little effect is enough to complete the breakthrough.

George Carr, whose hairline was already touching, couldn't resist the desire to learn at all, and as soon as the game was over, he rushed back to the hotel to review the few minutes when Yu Fei and Leitner were over.

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything, what's the question to ask the guy who got 16 assists."

Karl was extremely impatient with reporters tonight.

As a result, Yu Fei, who scored 29 points, 13 rebounds and 16 assists in a single game, was besieged by the media.

For them, Yu Fei only had one thing to say: "I wonder if Kenyon Martin still thinks we are overrated?" If his point of view remains the same, I will be looking forward to seeing him next time. ”

Kenyon Martin's mouth is no longer hard.

Jason Kidd complained about the rest of the team.

The Bucks had a fantastic night.

Except, of course, George Carr.

He stayed in the room until dawn, still puzzled, and when he turned to the teaching assistants for help, the teaching assistants shook their heads.

The frantic Carl gave up face and went straight to Yu Fei's room, knocked, rang the doorbell, and knocked on the door again.

Yu Fei opened the door with sleepy eyes, "What's the matter?" Can't you make a phone call? ”

"I have a few puzzles about Christian's blocking and dismantling cooperation yesterday."

"So what kind of coach are you?"

"Damn it! It's because your style of play is too evil, I've thought about it all night, and I still can't figure it out! ”

Yu Fei asked, "What don't you understand?" ”

"Why do you seem so anxious every time you attack?"

"What do you mean?"

"Most of your offensive rounds are over before the final ten seconds of attack time!"

Yu Fei never thought that he would hear such outrageous words early in the morning.

"Do you mean that if there is still time to attack, even if there is an opportunity, we will miss it?"

"You and Christian fight like this every round, how can you have a good chance every round?"

Yu Fei thought about it seriously and replied, "Because the best time to attack has appeared." ”

That's the problem, Carl doesn't think it's an opportunity, but Yu Fei thinks it's an opportunity.

Karl no longer struggled with the question, "Why is it that Christian's pick-and-roll is not solid, but it still works?" ”

That's because of the genius of labor and capital!

"Because I'm great."

"He could have done a better job of pick-and-roll."

"Dogmatic pick-and-rolls can only lead to an additional option, and quick single-stop pick-and-rolls can create chaos."

"Chaos? Isn't that just messing around? ”

"It's not a mess." Yu Fei emphasized, "We know exactly what we're doing! ”

Carl decided to invest more resources in Yu Fei, "Although this is an evil way, as long as it can help us win, I don't care what it is." I'll spend a few days devouting a few tactics for you, just play according to your and Christian's habits, get other people involved, and let's see where the upper limit of the evil is! ”

"George, did you have an epiphany?"

"See you in the afternoon!"

With that, Karl slammed the door shut.

Two days later, the Bucks host the Mavericks.

However, the first official experiment with "random tactics" ended in failure.

The others didn't know how to cooperate with Yu Fei as much as Lightner, and Carl could still feel the awkwardness.

The new tactics still don't look like they're fit for the rhythm of flying.

What exactly is the problem?

"They're too slow." Yu Fei reflected a key problem, "The movements are not agile, and I sometimes have to slow down the speed of the movements to match them. ”

Carl said, "So, the experiment failed? ”

"No, you can try to get Ray and Spree to work with me." Yu Fei said, "If it were them, they might play a more suitable rhythm." ”

The next team to visit was the Houston Rockets, and tonight, for the first time, the Bucks had a lot of pick-and-roll tactics at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions with random tactics in conjunction with Yu Fei.

The Rockets' backcourt duo are all defensive holes, Yao Shu can't prevent blocking and dismantling, in this case, the Bucks' random tactics are devastating, three points are like rain, and the offensive rhythm takes off, and he actually scored 118 points in a single game.

The images of Ray Allen and Sprewell catching three-pointers made Carl wonder what if there were two shooters on the court to allow Frye to lead that kind of offense, what would happen if there were four shooters around him?

"Mad George" took over Carl's brain, and he was willing to try it.

The Bucks bid farewell to 2002 with a 24-8 record.

In their first game of 2003, the Bucks got a perfect opponent to experiment with — the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are at the bottom of the league.

Tonight, the Bucks' starters are Yu Fei, Ray Allen, Michael Reed, Latril Sprewell, and Christian Leitner.

This is Yu Fei's favorite 5 OUT lineup.

Another live easter egg tonight is that LeBron James, who has been scheduled to be the top pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, appeared at the home court of the Cavaliers, he deliberately wore the Bucks' No. 44 (Yu Fei's jersey), and at his feet was a pair of new Chosen Ones.

Needless to say, the jersey and shoes were given by Yu Fei.

After all, James has not signed with any sneaker company yet, and with his popularity, he is definitely a powerful carrier.

"It seems that it is not possible to have a good fight." Yu Fei smiled, "Even LBJ is wearing my shoes." ”

Mason whispered: "He's really tasteless, these shoes are ugly!" ”

"Shut up, you don't have any vision for the old thing! No wonder I can't even start tonight! ”

"That's because George is crazy!"

"You're both crazy, but he doesn't want you to start when he's crazy, it's clear that there's something wrong with you!"

Yu Fei once again sprayed Mason to his feet, which is a famous scenery in the Bucks.

Then, the game began.

When Yu Fei came on the court, he thought of James Harden before 2020 and Luka Doncic after 2020. He now has two sharpshooters with a three-point shooting rate of 40% and two excellent shooters with a 37% three-point shooting rate.

Yu Fei is still self-aware, his current offensive skills are far from being comparable to those two, but there are not many skills, just enough.

He has a 36% outside three-point shooting, a pure jump shooting rate of nearly 42% and a 50% shooting percentage, plus an invincible throw, give him a pick-and-roll, he can break through anyone, give him two blocks, he doesn't even pay attention to the Pistons' bucket formation, give him two pick-and-rolls plus two marksmen, then he will go to heaven.

The only thing that limits him is the experience of navigating the 5 OUT lineup.

But that's not a problem, now that even Carl has opened his mind, as long as he plays well tonight, there will be more and more opportunities in the future.

So the priority is to play this game well.

After the game began, Yu Fei set the tone for the whole court with a violent dunk after a breakthrough.

A block, the opportunity comes out.

Two blocks, the Cavaliers' defense collapsed.

The Cavaliers' below-average defense allowed the Bucks to turn the first half into a shooting show, with Yu Fei riding his horse and galloping back and forth.

In the second half, Yu Feiyue became more and more courageous, his personal attack was full, and the organization did not fall behind at all.

He has to thank the Cavaliers, who drafted him with the eighth pick and now used themselves as an experiment for a 5-out lineup to convince George Carr that the experiment was worthwhile.

In the end, the Bucks used a terrifying 120-77 margin to bloodied the Cavaliers.

Yu Fei scored 41 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists, making LeBron James exclaim: "This is my big brother!" ”

Post-match interview

"It's a temporary arrangement, I'm not removed from the starting line-up! I'm still a starter! - Anthony Mason emphasizes his tactical position.

"While this is just the beginning, like the first step from scratch, I already see the future. Frye is the future of basketball! - George Carr on tonight's game.

"You know, Frye has always been like a brother to me, he played like a king tonight, it was amazing!" - LeBron James said in an interview on the sidelines.

"Does it have anything to do with LeBron James coming to watch the game tonight?"

"That's the main reason. I have to show my little brother how a great NBA player can dominate the game, and I'm glad I did that, and hopefully he will be in the NBA sooner rather than later, I can't wait to play him on the court!" ”

"Coach Carl said he sees the future of basketball in you, what do you think of his comments?"

"I don't like to talk about the future, that's a blank check. All I care about is the present, and if I am the future, then I want this 'future' to be now, tomorrow, every minute from here! ”
