Chapter 164: Never Forgive

Steve Waich, a team reporter with the Wizards, is doing the most meaningful work of the season.

That is a detailed record of Yu Fei's revenge.

This is the most meaningful thing about the Wizards in this losing season, aside from the clichés about Jordan.

Earlier in the season, when Yu Fei returned to MCI for the first time, Waige published an article in the Washington Post under the headline "What Does Frye Yu's Return Represent."

At that time, Waichi could feel Yu Fei's anger.

That anger at the Wizards' 100-point score can be felt on the sidelines.

When Yu Fei returned for the second time, that anger waned.

But as the season draws to a close, the Bucks-Wizards' trilogy is once again under outside hype, especially with the Wizards not losing a single game, and the game is given extra significance.

Yu Fei was still running on the field, but Wai Qi could no longer feel the intense anger in him, for him, it was like a mission to judge the infidels.

That's what he has to do with the Wizards.

When Yu Fei scored 15 points in the first quarter, Waige glanced at Jordan's stats.

He was 2-of-7 in the first quarter and scored just four points.

The arrogant and conceited Jordan will not accept defeat, because the only reason he returned to the human world from the divine realm is to prove that he can still stand up to the rising star in his prime.

To do so, he did not hesitate to risk losing his reputation at the end of his career.

Doug Collins tried to show loyalty to Jordan in every way. When Jordan is tired, he asks if he needs to rest, and when Jordan wants the ball, he takes the initiative to devise catch-and-shoot tactics.

Now that Jordan is being messed up by Yu Fei, Collins wonders if his master is going to take a few minutes off in the second quarter.

"Michael, are you going to come down and rest for a while?"

However, Jordan had no respect for his servant, pointing to the visiting team's bench, "Do you think that dog mongrel will sit in the second quarter?" ”

Collins didn't know how George Carr would arrange Yu Fei's playing time, but with Yu Fei's temperament, he felt.

"Probably not." Collins said.

"If he wants to win here, he has to get past me first!" Jordan was furious and said, "He's going to have to knock me to the ground again and again until I can't get up again, so you'd better not talk about any rest!" ”

White, who witnessed the scene, looks back on the past two years, and Jordan seems to have shown little respect for Collins.

However, when the Wizards played the Lakers for the last time last month, Jordan showed his affection for Jackson.

Looking through the materials, Wise found that Jordan had personally said in the 90s that he liked to be coached by Jackson. For the gods on high, the word liking is too strong an expression.

But last month, when the two met for the last time on the court, Jordan recounted why he loved Jackson: "One of the things I stood out about Phil was that he challenged me. He was never intimidated by me. When most coaches are easily intimidated by me, he comes and if I don't play well, he tells me I didn't play well. If he feels that I need to improve in something, he will tell me. I respect him for doing so. I wanted a coach who could tell me about my weaknesses because that would help me become a better basketball player. That's what Coach Smith did for me, that's what Phil Jackson did for me. ”

How vivid, how vivid, how reasonable.

A coach who is really good for the players is the one who can point out the shortcomings of the players, not the one who treats himself as a slave.

However, if Collins really thinks he can point out Dog's shortcomings, Whitech believes he will soon lose his job.

Like once in. Yu Fei, who told Jordan with practical actions that "he is no longer the omnipotent god he used to be", ended the same as being traded at the end of his rookie season.

Jordan was going to play, and Collins couldn't stop him.

This time, Jordan will not shy away from a head-on confrontation with Yu Fei.

Yu Fei really chose to continue to play in the second quarter.

To the surprise of the Bucks, Jordan was also on the court.

With the way Collins has used Jordan this season, Jordan won't play early in the second quarter.

Putting Jordan on the court now can only mean one thing, both sides want to touch head-on.

Yu Fei slapped the ball and saw Jordan standing at the top of the arc.

According to the position, Yu Fei knew that the Wizards wanted Jordan to match him.

"You're finally not going to run away." Yu Fei slapped the ball and mocked, "My respect for you has increased by 0.1%. ”

"Run?"

In Jordan's world, it has always been the opponent who runs away from him, and he will not escape.

The avoidance in the first quarter was a tactical choice, he was not young anymore, and it was impossible for him to play a full-court match with Yu Fei. Now, after a session of warm-up, his body is in the best condition, despite the drop in physical strength.

Jordan, who was enraged by Yu Fei's trash talk, stepped forward fiercely, wanting to give the second-year rising star who didn't know how to keep his mouth shut a shock of the dark defensive era.

As a result, Yu Fei slapped the ball hard, but it was a simple crotch cross but extremely fast, throwing off his defense, rushing into the three-point line with arrows, collecting the ball at the free throw line, jumping, raising fire to the sky, and scoring on the top of Tim Thomas's head.

Yu Fei ran in front of Jordan, his face full of provocation.

The showdown has begun, and Jordan has no escape.

"Give me the ball!" Jordan said to Cassel.

Cassel stared at Jordan closely, and when he saw the old flyer stuck in Yu Fei with his back outside the paint area on the left side of the frontcourt, he was at a loss in his heart.

No matter how good Jordan's back play is, can he beat Yu Fei, who has obvious advantages in height and weight?

Kassel passes.

Jordan didn't let this question stay long, his left foot was the axis, and his right foot took a step to the right and jumped up, as if returning to the peak moment, facing Yu Fei's defense, and forcibly adjusted the shooting arc.

"Huh!"

"Michael responds to Fry!"

"That's what we want to see!"

"Michael is still that Michael!"

Sprewell looked at Yu Fei playfully: "You shouldn't be able to pass the ball again, right?" ”

"Shut up, Spree!" After Yu Fei served, he said, "You just need to pass the ball to me and roll to the side!" ”

Sprewell brought the ball to the front court, and as Yu Fei said, it was not enough to pass the ball and then pull it away himself, but also to direct others to pull it away.

"You're overconfident." Jordan wanted to disturb Yu Fei with trash talk, "You don't have me at all."

Before the words fell, Yu Fei continued to dribble under his crotch, changing direction back and forth, like an invisible nail, firmly locking Jordan's center of gravity in place. In just a few seconds, Yu Fei moved sideways, and everyone found that Jordan couldn't move.

After Yu Fei froze Jordan's defense in place, he opened up the space and shot directly.

"Huh!"

It was a perfect response shot.

"Without you, I'm one of the best in the league right now." Yu Fei stayed in the front court and clinged to Jordan, and the trash talk never stopped, "Without you, my team ranks first in the league." ”

"You know what? Professional basketball would be better without you. ”

Yu Fei's worst habit is that he likes to ride his face and taunt after making a profit, which is not something that ordinary people can bear.

is as powerful as Qiao Shen, and it is also said that he can break the defense, and he actually pushed Yu Fei fiercely.

Seeing the momentum of the clash on this side, the referee, Joe Forte, came over and brought the situation under control.

Although the game was interrupted for a while, Ford did not blow Jordan or Yu Fei's foul.

The Wizards re-serve.

After the conflict just now, Jordan's rhythm was obviously a lot messed up.

He stuck his back again, but Yu Fei, who had learned the lesson before, no longer gave him the opportunity to make an easy jumper.

A year ago, when Yu Fei was beaten by Maddie in the low post, how did Jordan teach him?

Fool, anti-back body mainly anti-lower limbs.

Yu Fei said he had learned.

Jordan first turned to the right, swaying, to no avail. Then dribble to the left, only one step, and then collect the ball and wipe the step to make a turn and lean back in the same way as in the previous round but in the opposite direction. However, Yu Fei resisted his lower limbs to death, he didn't have enough space to jump at all, and his body was firmly stuck.

The experienced Jordan chose to collide with Yu Fei's body forward, hoping to create a shooting opportunity.

But Yu Fei didn't move in front of him, and when he hit this step, Jordan's offensive opportunity was already cut off. He swayed left and right, and finally reluctantly shot was under Yu Fei's hat.

Yu Fei covered the ball out of bounds, and the Wizards' offensive time was less than three seconds.

"That's why you have two All-Stars and you can't make the playoffs!" Yu Fei continued to sarcastically say, "Without you, the wizard will be better!" ”

When veteran players lose ground on the court, they usually respond with their past honors, but Jordan has already tried this trick.

In exchange for Yu Fei's more intense humiliation.

Now, Yu Fei has the advantage and continues to disturb Jordan's mind with the so-called facts, and he is speechless.

All he was left with was a proud heart and a mouth harder than steel.

Doug Collins has never seen such a powerless Jordan.

He can't trash talk, he can't take revenge on his disrespectful opponents, and he's no longer the one no one dares to provoke.

Everyone fears his honor, and Yu Fei cruelly proves that the past honor is nothing more than a paper illusion for the present.

Professional sports are like that, if you can't do it, you will never do it, you will never have a chance to turn it over.

After the Wizards served, they attacked quickly and missed.

Yu Fei predicted the position of the rebound and jumped up to take it off.

According to his usual habits, he would accelerate and play fast, but today, he slowly moved forward like a normal dribble over half court.

His teammates didn't say anything and pulled aside very consciously.

George Carr doesn't like star unlimited singles, but he also knows that the NBA needs star singles, and the reason why he has never won a championship is because there has never been a person on his team who can play unlimited singles like Yu Fei.

He was worried that Yu Fei would waste other talents because he was addicted to singles, but after a season, he felt that Yu Fei was not the kind of person who was not determined and was easily affected by the media narrative that "a real superstar should score 30-40-50 points per game".

That being the case, what if he is occasionally willful?

The Wizards are different, Jordan is different.

After halftime, Yu Fei's speed suddenly accelerated, and Jordan was shocked.

Suddenly, Yu Fei stopped outside the three-point line, and without waiting for Jordan to react, he lifted the ball up and threw it.

Height combined with reach, combined with excellent bounce speed and bounce, Jordan couldn't interfere.

"Huh!"

Kwame Brown almost jumped to cheer for Yu Fei.

He literally almost jumped up, but he couldn't hold back at the thought that if he openly cheered for his opponent, it would have a bad impact on his reputation.

Jordan was clearly at a disadvantage, but his teammates still had to pass the ball to him.

Until he makes a new request, passing the ball to him is an absolute order.

But the question is, what can he do to pass the ball to him?

Yu Fei knew him too well.

During his year in Washington, Yu Fei had to play against him every day in intra-team matches.

Yu Fei understands Wizard's habits and tendencies in the game. Lacking speed and explosiveness, Jordan relied on skill and rhythm to play, and even if it worked, he still needed to find his shooting touch on the night of the game.

It was too tough for him to play an iconic Jordan game with his existing body.

Yu Fei's defense infinitely increased the difficulty of Jordan to hit a good ball.

Dangling, dribbling, being forced to collect the ball, forcing the ball to fall back.

Jordan's whole set of actions were all expected by Yu Fei.

In the final shot, Jordan didn't find the touch.

"Bang!"

Strike iron again.

However, this time Yu Fei accelerated forward, and his teammates protected the defensive rebound and made a long pass directly.

Positional warfare cannot be prevented, and defensive counterattacks cannot be prevented.

Yu Fei rushed to the front court like a lightning storm and scored a violent dunk.

Since the beginning of the second quarter, Yu Fei has made all 4 shots and scored 9 points in a row.

Jordan was 1-of-3 for just 2 points.

No matter how this duel goes, Yu Fei's victory will not change.

Collins had already seen that Jordan was not up to the task, so he suggested from the sidelines, "Michael, you don't have to carry the ball"

"Shut up, Doug!" Jordan scolded, "I don't need you to teach me how to play!" ”

Doug, why bother, if he wants to die, you let him die.

Yu Fei felt sorry for his former coach, how could a good person be such a master?

"The first quarter is over, and so far in the second quarter, it's 9-2." Yu Fei said, "And this number will continue to increase, it turns out that I was wrong, I can't do this without you, and I will get better under your poor defense." ”

No one would be surprised if insults became the norm.

Although Jordan refused to play without the ball, he did not refuse the help of his teammates.

Since one person can't break through Yu Fei's defense, then call someone to block and dismantle.

Tim Thomas, who was in charge of the pick-and-roll, was not a great blocker, and he couldn't stop Yu Fei for Jordan.

On the contrary, because he pulled away too early, Yu Fei instead stuck directly to Jordan.

In desperation, Jordan passed the ball to Cassel on the weak side.

Cassel scores on a jumper on the board.

The Wizards finally scored, but Jordan roared at Thomas like a fire-breathing dragon: "If you can't even block and don't understand, then you shouldn't play the NBA at all!" ”

No one understands why a respectable superstar is a jerk who likes to show his tyrannical side to his teammates.

Bulls veteran assistant coach Turks Winter (the father of the triangle offense) once said that Jordan gets satisfaction when he humiliates others. But the problem is, he doesn't see it as humiliation.

What does Jordan think about this? He said it was part of his competitive nature.

Yes, if this is a competitive nature, then when Yu Fei imposes this nature on him as it is, he should be able to withstand it, but the result is that he himself can't bear it.

Jordan is losing the showdown completely.

And, the more embarrassed his defeat looks, the more it shows a symbolic meaning that comes with this game.

This symbolism was born in the time of George McCann and has been passed down to this day.

Yu Fei received the ball in the front court again, glanced at Jordan ruthlessly, stopped urgently, and then changed direction.

The tense Jordan lost control of his body's center of gravity under Yu Fei's violent offensive, if the previous Yu Fei used to practice the change of direction under his crotch to freeze his center of gravity, then the current big ups and downs of the change of direction are aimed at destroying his center of gravity.

The more you put yourself into defense, the more likely you are to break down.

The crumbling Jordan fell backwards at the moment when he flew forward, and the atmosphere of the MCI was extremely cold, and Yu Fei jumped up behind Jordan to shoot and hit again.

Doug Collins asked for a timeout in the moment when the Wizards nearly collapsed.

Today, Jordan made up for a chapter he was missing in the NBA.

The 24-second offensive rule eliminated George McCann, Bill Russell's domination of the '60s, Lou Alcindor's 1971 championship kicked off the long chaos of the '70s, and the Magic Birds, and then Jordan, each generation of superstars handed over their reign at the right moment and was then taken over by the next ruler on the court.

It's an NBA generational shift.

Jordan, who retired in 1998, put the throne in the air, Duncan wanted it, and OK wanted it, but none of them snatched it from Jordan.

Yu Fei looked down at Jordan, who was like a lost dog, and said coldly: "11 to 2." ”

It's not over yet.

You know it's far from over.

Because Yu Fei will never forgive.
