Chapter 157: The Birth of Might
Chapter 157: The Birth of Might
Yu Fei held high the banner of racism, making O'Neill inexplicably short in front of him.
It's like, whatever Yu Fei says is right, and what O'Neill says is wrong, who calls him a racist?
But O'Neill thinks he has apologized, and Yao Shu has accepted it, why does Yu Fei hold on? This is obviously because they have a personal vendetta, so racial discrimination is not a problem, the problem is that he has a grudge against Yu Fei.
Since the reason is not clear, O'Neill decides to speak with strength.
Up front, O'Neal, who had been stuck several times to no avail, finally got the support of his teammates, and Fisher passed the ball in from the outside.
Although O'Neal has dropped a lot on both ends of the floor since returning from toe surgery, it is still not something a center like Dan Gazuric can compete with.
O'Neal easily crushed under the basket and scored on a dunk.
4 to 2
Scoring the response goal, O'Neill put on a mighty expression and glared at Yu Fei fiercely.
"Dan, if you can't prevent it, you will foul him." Yu Feilang said, "Anyway, that cripple will make one free throw at most." ”
O'Neal was furious and wanted to fight back, but the Bucks' offense had arrived.
Yu Fei dribbled past half court and called Gazuric out to block the pick-and-roll, and O'Neal decided to stick to the box because Gazuric's shooting threat was insufficient.
It's just that in addition to taking into account the offensive skills of the pick-and-roll personnel, it is also necessary to consider whether the teammates have the ability to defend two.
Last season, when Yu Fei was a rookie, Rick Fox was helpless, and now Yu Fei, a sophomore who has the potential to grow into the top ten in the league, has the help of blocking and dismantling, how can he resist?
Yu Fei started in the direction of the pick-and-roll, but at the moment when Fox reacted, he pulled the ball behind his back and changed to the opposite direction, sprinted to the free throw line and took a step into the free throw line, almost stopping and pulling out at a position where O'Neal could touch it when he took a step forward.
"Huh!"
6 to 2
"That's why Kobe doesn't respect you, you, a cripple who doesn't even want to move forward, don't deserve assistance!"
"Don't talk the!" O'Neill was sprayed a little red by Yu Fei, "You are not qualified to evaluate our business!" ”
Yu Fei, who was about to stay in the front court and force the Lakers ball handler, retorted: "What I want to say is not up to you, a racist cripple, can decide!" ”
Strangely, no teammates stood up to speak for O'Neal.
Because Yu Fei is holding a politically correct body, although O'Neill's racist speech against Yao Shu some time ago has been suppressed, as long as someone like Yu Fei keeps reminding him of the existence of that incident, its influence will not disappear.
And then there's this "cripple", apparently attacking O'Neal's toe surgery before the start of the season, which is also the biggest dissatisfaction with O'Neal within the Lakers.
These two things, one is indefensible, and the other is not willing to be defended, and O'Neill, who is alone, must face the fire of Feisheng's anger.
"Give me the ball!" O'Neal yelled at the top of his voice, "Fuck me balls!" ”
Kobe Bryant said with practical actions: I can't hear it.
O'Neal was in a low position, and Kobe Bryant directly changed direction to shake off Ray Allen, like an assassin rushing into the basket, even if O'Neal pulled it away, even if there were more people in the paint area than if it was ** scene, he still used a good waist lever to score.
For the first time since entering the league in 1996, Kobe Bryant showed the confidence and strength of the Lakers' leading player, completely overpowering O'Neal.
The ball was ignored, and he deliberately didn't pull it away so that the basket was full of people, but O'Neal, who still made Kobe show off his operation, had black eyes and shouted at Kobe, "You have to pass the ball to me!" ”
Bryant responded: "Now this is my team, I can do whatever I want!" ”
Well done Kobe! I, the three-day-old Cormi, will always support you as the Lakers' boss!
Although it is now the difference between friend and foe, Yu Fei and Kobe Bryant are both O'Neal's killers.
O'Neill watched Yu Fei vigilantly, and as a result, in the next few rounds, it was Ray Allen and Co who were more energetic.
Remember when Ray Allen didn't like Jordan? Actually, what he really doesn't like is someone like Jordan who thinks he is above everything else on the court.
Kobe Bryant is the same kind of person, and Ray Allen believes that if he and O'Neal are teammates, they will not have any conflict, and the Lakers can still win three consecutive championships because he is not Kobe Bryant (1).
When Kobe ignored O'Neal, who was about to get to the position, forced an attack and completed the score, Ray Allen also asked for the ball from Yu Fei, got rid of Kobe Bryant with Mason's blocking, and misplaced the Lakers' starting four Mark Madsen in the left paint area to score and cause a foul.
The Lakers' ball is in Kobe's hands.
In this round, O'Neal didn't want the ball and took the initiative to make an unqualified block for Kobe. The result of an unqualified pick-and-roll is that the ball-handler who uses the pick-and-roll is at risk of being trapped, and O'Neal takes the opportunity to go to the basket.
As a result, Bryant saw O'Neal's opportunity in the bag, didn't think much about it, and passed the ball out.
O'Neal didn't expect Kobe to pass the ball, his hands were shaking when he received the ball, and when he stabilized the ball, Yu Fei, who came from nowhere, used his hand as a blade and slashed the ball out of his hand, and then, the ball went out of bounds.
"Damn it!" Bryant yelled in disappointment, "Stop saying I don't pass the ball to you, you can't do it at all!" ”
The culprit who sabotaged O'Neill's attack said sarcastically: "It's really hard for you to fight this kind of person for so many years, he doesn't deserve it at all." ”
O'Neal, who couldn't stand this humiliation, pushed Yu Fei away and roared, "I have three FMVP trophies, and I'm the head dog of the Lakers!" ”
"FMVP trophies? Can this also be taken out? It's only the finals that decide the FMVP trophy, but it's a good fit for your lazy racist cripple, because you're a dog bastard who always makes a push in the last leg of a marathon! ”
Sarcasm, insults, curses, and then denial of honor.
For professional athletes, there is no greater shame than this.
O'Neill gritted his teeth and wanted to rush forward and do something to Fei that he might not normally have thought of. Then, Anthony Mason stopped him for the first time.
The referee stepped forward to further calm the incident.
O'Neal kept cursing Yu Fei, and the referee repeatedly banned him, so he gave him a technical foul.
"It's shady! It's fucking shady! You're all bought! ”
Referee Tim Donaghi said, "Be careful, Shaq. ”
"Fuck you! You pimps have long since lost their credibility (2)! That bastard has been insulting me, what are you doing? I don't care about you! all of you's"
Donaghi did not add O'Neal for a second technical foul.
Yu Fei believes that the only reason O'Neal can stay on the court after insulting the referee so much is because the league needs a gimmick of the game.
Yu Fei and O'Neill are at the center of the conflict, and unless there is a real brawl on the field, neither of them will be sent off the court.
The Lakers replaced O'Neal to calm him down, but the Bucks did not replace Yu Fei.
O'Neill was not there, and Yu Fei's edge suddenly converged a lot.
The Lakers are still difficult to deal with because of a self-confident Kobe.
The Bucks mainly used Ray Allen and Kobe Bryant.
Yu Fei has little interest in Kobe Bryant because his style of play is completely different from Kobe. If he plays the Magic or the Celtics, he's happy to play against Maddie or Pierce, Kobe, forget it.
Even if you don't consider Kobe's style of play, there is no reference value for yourself, just think about how tiring it is for the opponent to defend him just after averaging nearly 30 shots per game in a month? Since Ray Allen wanted to compete with him, Yu Fei only had to be responsible for transporting ammunition on the side.
Halfway through the first quarter, the Bucks led the Lakers by four points 18-14, and Carl will be replaced by a flyer.
"Shaq isn't here at all, aren't you really excited at all?" Carl asked.
"That's not excitement, it's a personal vendetta." Yu Fei said, "I don't have a problem with Kobe. ”
Carl doesn't know if Yu Fei really doesn't take Kobe Bryant as a problem, or if he doesn't take Kobe Bryant as crazy singles in his eyes at all.
Instead, Ray Allen is bent on playing against Kobe, as if he can prove his worth and become the leader of the team again.
Carl shook his head mockingly, it was too late.
Yu Fei is already the leader of the team.
Ray Allen only has one title left.
And this title was deliberately worn by Yu Fei for the sake of internal harmony.
Karl glanced at Yu Fei, who was chatting with Leitner, and he believed that he was not mistaken - as long as one day, the Bucks no longer needed a Ray Allen with the title of leader, Yu Fei would take back what belonged to him.
That's when Ray Allen lost his position completely.
"Fulai, are you having a good fight?"
Lawson was the only non-insider allowed to get into the bench.
Arguably, Lawson's position with the Bucks is what Tim Grover's status with the Wizards is.
Everyone knew that he was not their own, but no one dared to embarrass him.
Yu Fei shook his head and said, "It's not very cool." ”
"You're almost stomping your foot in that bastard's face, aren't you happy?" Lawson didn't expect Yu Fei's "sensitivity" to be so low.
Yu Fei joked: "If he can really lie on the ground and let me step on it, I will be happy, but you know, this is impossible." ”
Lawson extended on this indecent topic; "Is there anything else that can be done?"
"Yes." Yu Fei said, "If I could say N words to him." ”
"Oh God, don't you"
"Don't worry, I know this can't happen." The smile on Yu Fei's face gradually faded, and there was a flame flickering in his brown eyes, "That's why I won't forgive him." ”
O'Neill cleared himself with an unconvincing explanation, and although he publicly said that Yao Shu was a clear worm, he was not a racist. But if Yu Fei and Yao Shu responded with Nigo, they would have no place in this black-dominated alliance.
Therefore, for Fei, if he can't fight back in the same way, then he should hold on to the most important talisman of American society and attack O'Neill from morning to night.
In the second quarter of the game, the Bucks still led the Lakers by five points.
Four minutes later, Bryant hit a three-pointer to tie the score.
The Lakers traded for O'Neal, and the Bucks traded for Yu Fei, Leitner and Michael Reed.
"Chris (nickname), from now on, you don't have to go inside." Yu Fei said, "Give me a block every round." ”
Lightner agreed, he liked the arrangement, why did he go inside, looking for abuse? Even the current O'Neill is not something he can compete with.
If you have been blocking and dismantling with Yu Fei on the outside, then the offense and defense will be easy.
Leitner plays the No. 5 spot to avoid over-consumption with O'Neal on the inside, a trick that Yu Fei played last year when he was with the Wizards.
The Lakers didn't have much to do about it at the time.
Nearly a year later, Yu Fei, who continued to evolve, used this trick again, and O'Neill continued to shrink back.
Yu Fei directly hung up the gear and dismantled the emergency stop three-point shot.
37 to 34
After scoring the goal, Yu Fei also said to Fisher, who came to make up for the defense: "It's really hard for you to make up for a cripple who refuses to move." ”
Except for O'Neal, the rest of the Lakers were silent.
"Don't listen to his shit!" O'Neill shouted.
His voice was loud, but the disappointment in the eyes of his teammates was palpable.
Everyone expects him to step up and take his responsibility.
O'Neill is forced to wallow in a state of humiliation, expectation, and powerlessness.
He desperately wanted to get the ball, but he was greeted by a foul on Leitner's brutal beaters who couldn't describe it in words.
O'Neill glared, and Lightner turned and walked away.
"Bang!"
The first penalty is not scored.
Yu Fei commented: "It must be Chris's fault, he fouled too hard." ”
"Huh!"
O'Neal was brave and hit the second free throw.
Yu Fei didn't take the ball, and ran forward with O'Neal, "I heard that your hand has been useless since you climbed a tree and fell down when you were a child, you are really disabled." ”
"Damn, I'm ¥@#%#@%"
O'Neill clashed with Yu Fei again in midfield.
There were no technical fouls, the referees calmed the matter, and the Bucks continued to attack.
The atmosphere at the Bradley Center is getting more and more frenetic, and Yu Fei acts like a jerk on the court, but this bastard can help them win, play well and look good, and he always shows a tough face.
It's something the fans love to see.
But for O'Neill, the nightmare is far from over.
Yu Fei is like an unavoidable nightmare, and he throws his malice into O'Neill all the time. O'Neill's counterattack didn't look strong enough, but every word Yu Fei uttered hit him accurately in the soft underbelly.
This insult was accompanied by the silence of a teammate, causing even more mental damage.
But Yu Fei is like a torture king who doesn't know what satisfaction is, and his attack on O'Neill has no "end" or "enough" moment, only wave after wave.
As long as O'Neill is still on the court, he won't stop.
For many people, this is a kind of image projection of Yu Fei in the face of Jordan.
If he's so brutal and insane in front of the league's No. 1 guys, what is the 40-year-old Jordan to him?
Yu Fei did not call for blocking and demolition this time, but broke through the defense line and threw the board in front of O'Neal to score.
"You don't defend the shot, you don't defend the layup from close range, what is your role on the court?"
Yu Fei's hostility came from the heart, which not only made O'Neal's teammates tremble, but even the Bucks' players felt terrible.
This made them even more unwilling to offend Yu Fei like O'Neill.
The power is quietly built up in Fly, he is not Jordan, but he is becoming a Jordan-like terrifying figure.
Like a sleeping lion that no one dares to provoke, since O'Neill has woken him up, let O'Neill die.
The less help O'Neill gets, the more targeted Yu Fei becomes.
Every time he seized O'Neal's loophole to score an attack, Yu Fei would drop a mean trash talk.
At first, O'Neill reacted violently, and then he became numb. So Yu Fei would do more over-the-top things to provoke his nerves.
Whenever O'Neal's bloodiness is aroused and he tries to maintain his dignity like a tough guy, Yu Fei will beat him back to his original form with a pick-and-roll attack.
The irregular life in the offseason, the unabated diet, and the two-month recovery window brought about by toe surgery have made the league's first man, Shaquille O'Neal, not the king of the center who led the team to three consecutive championships, but a weak king in need of help.
Kobe Bryant wished he was defeated by Yu Fei, his teammates did not dare to get involved, Phil Jackson was not there, and O'Neal lost all the support he could get.
In the second half, it became a public execution.
Most of Yu Fei's attacks against O'Neill have achieved results, even if it is a goal that has not been scored, it has nothing to do with O'Neal.
O'Neal was treated as a hole on the defensive end and couldn't get the ball from Kobe Bryant on the offensive end, and the purgatory-like torture came to an end in the second minute of the fourth quarter.
At this time, Yu Fei's data was 36 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, and he raised his hand and called out another block.
O'Neill knew he couldn't do it, but he chose to leave the paint area. This made Yu Fei move early, tear apart the Lakers defense in one step, rushed into the free throw line, and elbowed O'Neal who had not yet stood firm when he closed the ball, making him lose the threat of helping defense, and then jumped, like a beast that killed its prey, smashing the ball to the basket with all its strength.
“Boom!!!!!!!!”
O'Neill suffered Yu Fei's elbow blow, and when he retreated, he actually sprained his ankle again, and fell backwards like a disintegrating battleship.
Yu Fei turned around and tried to mend the knife with trash talk as usual, only to find O'Neill lying on the ground like a corpse.
"Hey, you look much better now," Yu Feidao, "like a dead dog." ”
There were no quarrels, no brawls, no one even talked back.
The referee called a halt to the game, O'Neill was carried out of the field, and Yu Fei sat on the sidelines, unaware that he had finished O'Neal.
Looking at the 16-point lead, Karl decided to let Yu Fei go to rest.
However, it depends on Yu Fei's wishes.
"Are you having fun?"
Carl's subtext is, do you want to keep fighting?
"Have fun? Far from enough. Yu Fei didn't have the pleasure of knocking out his opponent at all, he glanced at the score, "But there is no need to fight again in this match." ”
Karl smiled, "Then let's rest." ”
After that, Bryant wanted to fight back, but the Bucks' shooters kept their momentum to the end of the game.
112 to 98
The Bucks completed the season double against the Lakers at home.
Post-match interview
"If we make it to the Finals, I want to be against the Lakers, and then Frye will be the scariest player ever." - George Carr on Yu Fei's performance tonight.
"If Kobe Bryant had taken 30 shots per game in the past three years, the Lakers wouldn't have won a championship." - Ray Allen on Kobe's style of play.
"I know Frye, he doesn't target a person for no reason, we all know what Shaq has done." - Christian Leitner refuted negative comments about Yu Fei's style of play.
"Sounds like Ray is very experienced in how to win championships?" — Kobe Bryant responds to Ray Allen's negative assessment of him.
Shaquille O'Neal refused to press conference after the game, while he demolished the wardrobes of the visiting dressing room at the Bradley Centre.
Yu Fei's violent style tonight has caused many questions, some people express understanding, and some people raise questions.
"Why are you acting like a thug on the field?"
Yu Fei saw the dog tag marked with the word "LA" on the other party's body.
"If I were a thug, Shaquille O'Neal wouldn't have walked out of the field alive."
"So, you admit that you deliberately targeted Shaq on the court?"
"As an Asian-American, is there a problem with me being on the field targeting a bastard who is openly racist and mocking Asian-Americans?"
"But. . . Shaq has already apologized. ”
“! @#! ¥#" Yu Fei spewed out a foul word that would be fined, "Why do you think I have to accept his apology?" Why should I accept it? I don't accept it, that's my attitude, not only will I not accept it, I'm going to treat him as a racist, that's how I deal with this kind of person, the next question! ”
(1) Interestingly, most of Kobe's contemporaries (stars) feel that they can replace Kobe Bryant during the OK period.
(2) The Mistress of Jordan mentioned in the article was recommended to Jordan through the NBA referee channel. Isn't it scary to think about it? Do you say that it is natural to question the impartiality of the referee when he blows Jordan for the game? What if the referee can pimp you off the field and help you blow the whistle on the field (3)?
(3) I'm just going to say it casually, not really to question it. I've forgotten that the Jazz's effective three-point in the third quarter of Game 6 of the '98 Finals counts as a timeout, while the Bulls' two-point overtime in the fourth quarter counts as a valid thing.
PS: The book review area is doing activities, and you can participate in a ha.
