Before the start of the third game between the Bucks and the 76ers, Reebok arranged for Yu Fei and Iverson to do activities together.

Moreover, the event was personally run by Paul Farman, the company's executive, in order to reduce the smell of gunpowder between Yu Fei and Iverson.

In fact, they thought too much, the conflict between Yu Fei and Iverson only stopped at the court, they are both people who have a clear distinction between public and private.

Even if Yu Fei doesn't look down on Iverson's private virtues, in the past two years, the other party's care for him in large and small activities and public occasions has also been remembered by him.

Yu Fei has to admit that Iverson is the kind of friend everyone wants.

As long as the people around him encounter problems, he always has the strength to contribute, and he has money to contribute.

But he never thought that one day in the future, these people who were attached to him to suck blood would drain him.

Yu Fei had heard from his agent, Arne Trem, that Iverson had 14 cars under his name, of which only 4 were his own, and the rest had been given to relatives and friends.

Iverson has to pay for the insurance of these cars every year, a bill that may be sky-high for an NBA's base-paid player, but he can pay without frowning.

Because compared to this, the other bills that the vampires keep bringing back are unbearable.

Trem often used Iverson's example to make Yu Fei understand the importance of financial management.

Yu Fei felt that there was no need, there were no vampires around him, even Lawson and Clark, they only received a normal level of salary, and they would not bring Yu Fei additional bills.

Since entering the NBA, Yu Fei has basically no major expenses except for using part of his salary to support his mother in opening a store.

He has no bad habits, he doesn't spend lavishly, and he doesn't lead a large group of people to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in nightclubs like Iverson to prove that he "has money to play".

At the end of the event, Farman told Yu Fei and Iverson that he would be there tonight to support them.

Yu Fei asked, "Paul, who do you want to win?" ”

Iverson looked at Farman with equal interest.

For some time now, rumors that Yu Fei would replace Iverson within Reebok have never been broken. Even if Iverson doesn't care, the people around Iverson remind him of the importance of that.

As a result, every word Falman says has the potential to be misunderstood.

Farman knew it, so he just smiled and said, "For the company, a game like the first one is the best outcome." Frye had the better team, so the Bucks won the game, and the AI that lacked helpers lost but got better stats. ”

"This may be the best for the company, but it may not be for me." Yu Fei looked at Iverson, "AI, if Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci invited you to spend the night on the same night, what would you choose?" ”

Iverson humorously said, "Brother you know, I'm married, so it's not a good question." What's more, these two aren't on my 'Freebie List' (1), and I might consider them if you swap them to Mariah Carey and Halle Berry. ”

"OK" Yu Fei didn't want to talk to Iverson about aesthetics, he had tried his best to name two names that were in line with the public's aesthetics, the point was "If it were me, I wouldn't refuse anyone." All of them, that's my choice, and that's what I'm going to do tonight. ”

That's a pretty straightforward answer.

Yu Fei wants to take away the game and the data.

Iverson smiled and said, "It's not that easy. ”

"Indeed." Yu Fei said jokingly, "It must be much more difficult to do this than to send you home to fish 4-0." ”

The night's race was exactly as George Carr had predicted.

Dick Bavita came with a mission, blowing four fouls from the Bucks in less than three minutes of the opening period.

Iverson's body is almost untouchable, and a foul is fouled at the slightest touch.

Despite being so tough on the defensive end, the Bucks weren't beaten by their opponents.

This is mainly due to the play of two people.

One is Yu Fei, and the other is Ray Allen.

As a leader player on the surface, Ray Allen was extremely brave on the road, eating almost every cake that Yu Fei broke through, and he also had a 2+1 performance by dribbling to the basket and dunking.

In the first quarter, Ray Allen was better than Yu Fei.

With all the sudden shots, Ray Allen could briefly move into the top four quarterbacks.

"Are you so excited tonight?" At the end of the first quarter, Yu Fei said to Aaron.

Allen just said solemnly: "I won't miss a chance to sweep the 76ers." ”

"Why, do you hate Philadelphia?"

"Not annoying."

"And what do you hate about them?"

Ray Allen didn't say anything, but Yu Fei noticed that the look in his eyes towards Iverson was intensely hostile.

It is not known what the story is, but it is certain that Ray Allen hates Iverson, and it is unknown whether the conflict between the two sides was left over from the 2001 Eastern Conference Finals or earlier.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Yu Fei gave Iverson a bit of intensity.

Bavita is right.

This suggests that "Iverson is untouchable" is the measure of tonight.

"Dick, you don't want that to happen again last year, do you?" Yu Fei calmly communicated with him, "You have to give us a little space to defend." ”

Bavita said without entering, "Don't talk to me. ”

"OK, don't say anything."

Yu Fei quickly proved that Bavita didn't want to be a black buck like he had blackened the king to the point of shattering his Dao heart.

The way to prove this is to give strength to the rest of the 76ers.

As a result, the whistle did not sound.

The untouchable scale of the blow penalty belongs to Iverson alone.

The meaning is very clear, no one can be strong on Iverson now, so how many points you score depends on Iverson himself. If he loses in this situation, he can only blame himself.

It's just that Iverson didn't feel good about shooting today, and although it was easy to break through, there would be big men to help interfere with the defense every time he went to the basket.

If you can't touch it, you won't touch it, anyway, he's short, so he can always interfere a little.

Iverson used the free throw scale to shoot extremely high under the basket, but his teammates couldn't resist the Bucks' offense.

Yu Fei's blocking and dismantling roll call is found to be misplaced, and a dozen are accurate.

Ray Allen didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, and without getting a few free throws, he used fewer shots to play an offensive output that surpassed Iverson.

It is impossible for the whistle to last the whole game.

Even if the referee intentionally does so, they will change the scale in a specific situation.

To put it bluntly, no team can get a full-court bias whistle (if it lasts full-game, it should be called a black whistle).

Experienced referees will choose to blow the whistle in the opening and closing stages, and Bavita is such a person.

If the off-the-spot doesn't work, or if the team that benefited from the penalty is bandaged when the scale returns to normal, the referee won't be looking for the off-whistle in the final quarter.

That's what happened to the 76ers.

With the help of Bavita in the opening game, the seven were amazingly popular, but the referee's help began to fade at some point in the second quarter.

The Bucks bit the game and quickly rallied back to the score in the normal whistle for the next few minutes.

At halftime, the Bucks led the 76ers by five points, 48-43.

Yu Fei became the best in the half with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Ray Allen went straight to Iverson with a 19-point halftime performance, and he and Yu Fei were the main reasons why the Bucks bit the score in the off-whistle stage.

At halftime, Yu Fei approached Ray Allen and asked him about his grievances with Iverson.

As a result, they really have an unhappy past.

That was before the two entered the NBA, when Ray Allen and Iverson were both competing in the University Games as part of Team USA. During the training camp, the two quarreled over a disagreement, and Iverson was the first to make a move, knocking Ray Allen, who couldn't fight, to the ground and choking him by the neck with his hand.

"I think he really wanted to kill me at the time." Ray Allen replied with trepidation.

"Did anything like this happen?" Yu Fei pretended to be surprised, but this was the world after Iverson caused the attack, and everyone knew what kind of scum he was. "No wonder you're so angry."

Ray Allen took a deep breath, "If I was given the opportunity to sweep him, I would never let it go." ”

George Carr nodded with satisfaction: "Well said. ”

He had never seen such a manly Ray Allen in years.

It seems that scum will not only stir up a sense of justice in the hearts of humans, but also harden soft eggs.

Yu Feizhen didn't know why every time he changed his opinion of Iverson, he would hear bad news from the other party.

It's still hard to do "no matter what he does to others, just remember how he did to me" because they really don't have that deep foundation in friendship, and I can't guarantee that one day Iverson will go crazy on the court because of one of his trash words and do something horrible about it.

In the second half, Yu Fei made more outside shots.

Because the Bucks took the lead, the 76ers did not have enough defensive intensity, and Yu Fei, who was relaxed enough, shot 50% of the three-point shooting rate, and easily overtook Iverson in scoring.

Iverson didn't seem to have enough of the off-the-shelf bonus and wanted to get the same Royal VIP treatment as he did in the third quarter.

However, the referee actually allowed the Bucks player to touch him.

Since the referee didn't blow the whistle, Iverson, who was bent on making fouls, had an unbalanced mentality: "Why don't you blow the whistle, isn't this a foul?!" ”

To deal with this kind of scum, the scum in the referee world directly gave him a T, so that he could understand how to talk to the benefactor who blew him a half-biased whistle.

"Technical fouls? Are you teasing me? Are you kidding me? It's our home turf! ”

As if he couldn't figure out the situation, Iverson took Bavita's warning T as an offense to himself.

After playing in the NBA for so many years, he still doesn't know anything about the scale and habits of referees, just like he spends a lot of money in a nightclub, and he feels that he deserves Jordan-level respect on the court.

He has the right to express his dissatisfaction.

Bavita doesn't want to send him off, but if he rushes in front of the referee, speaks offensive language, and makes threatening gestures, then the referee has to act.

With the 76ers trailing by 13 points, Iverson was ejected.

He kept cursing Bavita and incited the fans to join the fight.

This is a testament to Bavita's vision of superstars.

No amount of preferential treatment is enough, no amount of sweetness is not satisfied, as long as one punishment does not go their way, they will in turn greet the whole family of the referee.

Who created this sick relationship?

Iverson was evicted.

This basically ruined the 76ers' hopes of victory.

This is the third game of the series, and the 76ers are already down 0-2, and they have no margin for error.

Once you lose this game, it's over.

Even if they are as strong as the Trail Blazers in the first round of the West, it is impossible to complete the Jedi comeback.

The Trail Blazers have proven with blood and tears that even if they go from 0-3 down to 3-3 (2), they will be defeated because they don't continue to do it in one breath.

Reebok's executive, Paul Farmman, witnessed the scene.

Iverson was still the typical Iverson, so arrogant that even God should spoil him. When he is young and powerful, this position is appropriate, but once he is no longer in his prime, it will be dangerous if he still maintains this mentality.

It was Yu Fei's performance that surprised Farmman.

Yu Fei did not break the defense or lose control because of the penalty scale at the beginning, and calmly waited for the end of the whistle time, and grasped the situation little by little by communicating with the referee.

Abusive refereeing is the stupidest way to stand up to the referee.

What's the best way? Is it like Kobe Bryant to tell the referee "You just missed one of me, it's time to give it back to me", or like Jordan during the Bulls when he talked to the referee about life, interests, and family, so that they subtly regarded Jordan as their friend, since they are friends, then the referee can pimp Jordan, if he can even pimp for him, then blow a partial whistle on the court?

Iverson had been fighting something that he hadn't understood for years, and Yu Fei seemed to know it from the beginning.

He then seized on Iverson's "garbage time" and swiped his stats to 44 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists before the official garbage time seven minutes before the end of the fourth quarter.

The last person in Milwaukee Bucks' franchise history to have a big triple-double in the playoffs was Lou Alcindor.

Iverson, who was ejected, had 24 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and he not only lost the game, but also lost the stats.

In the near future, he will lose everything, just like Jordan in the Wizards, only a false name, like a zombie, and a meaningless existence other than the still arrogant self.

Farman turned around and walked out of the box, and there was no need to answer the multiple-choice question in front of him, the question was how to make Yu Fei belong and identify with the company.

What is certain is that for a superstar who has already brought dozens of times more profits to the company, it is absolutely impossible for him to have a home and recognition with only $3 million a year in endorsement fees.

The risks associated with this problem and the problem itself must be addressed.

(1) The Freebie List is from "Friends", which roughly means "which five celebrities would you be willing to sleep with, regardless of other factors".

(2) From a sensory point of view, the 03 Trail Blazers' three-chase three-chase three-chase four-game comeback is closer to the mythical comeback than 23 Kai (because the seventh game of 23 Kai was rotten from the beginning).
