The Spurs have a small change in defensive alignment.

In the previous four games, Popovich insisted on putting Bruce Bowen and Yu Fei in the opposite position. As a result, the effect was mediocre, with Yu Fei averaging 30+8+7 per game in four games.

Yu Fei is the first wing player since Jordan to perform so well in the Finals.

However, the Bucks didn't take the lead.

The two sides drew 2-2, which shows that Yu Fei's data has not fully translated into victory, and the Bucks need someone else to work hard to win.

Since you can't prevent it, then grasp the small and zoom in.

Popovich asked Bowen to deal with Ray Allen and Stephen Jackson to fly against him.

The Bucks did not make any personnel changes or changes.

Because Karl didn't see the need for change.

The referee tonight is again Dick Bavita.

A year after the tragedy of the Western Finals, Bavita is still the only referee on the big stage, and the league's trust in him is absolute.

When Bavita doesn't get any instructions from his superiors, he blows like a normal referee.

But as long as it's human, there are likes and dislikes, and Bavita doesn't like Anthony Mason or Stephen Jackson, these rough guys are the kind of bastards who greet the referee's family when they are blown for a foul.

Instead, Yu Fei greeted Bavita in a friendly manner, "Dick, I heard that your little grandson Jack goes to school in New York?" ”

Bavita glanced at Yu Fei, "Are you interested in children's affairs?" ”

"That's right, last month I was doing an activity at St. Louis Elementary School and met a child who claimed to be your grandson." Yu Fei chatted with Bavita like he was nothing, "He's still wearing my sneakers." ”

Bavita knows that his little guy is a fan of Yu Fei, and judging from the name of the school and the time of the event, it can be seen that Yu Fei is not lying.

"He prefers your autograph." Bavita said.

"I can give it to him at any time." Yu Fei said, ready to start the game, "We'll talk when the game is over." ”

Dealing with referees is a must for superstars.

It is rare for a freak like Aaron Iverson who treats himself as the referee's own father and scolds him directly when he is unhappy, and is blacklisted by the referee.

It's just that not all celebrities have the need to take this course.

Because there is also a gap between celebrities.

Some meteor-like characters have fallen out of the ranks of stars before they are familiar with the referee, and some stars who are not worthy of the name are not qualified to get preferential treatment from the referee at all.

Yu Fei doesn't feel bad about Bavita, although he occasionally behaves out of line, but he is generally respectful to the referee.

As long as she persists, Bavita believes that this will be another superstar who will be held by the stars.

Then, the game started and Duncan got the ball on the slap, but it was snatched up by Sprewell.

The Bucks started the game with a fast break.

Sprewell attacked quickly and rushed inside, but David Robinson defended more ferociously, and the veteran, who was close to retirement, jumped with all his might in the opening game and blocked the madman's ball.

Unfortunately, there is a Yu Fei behind Sprewell.

Robinson put the ball in Yu Fei's hand, but he was no longer able to jump continuously like he did when he was younger.

Yu Fei grabbed the ball, jumped over, and rode Robinson's body to complete a two-handed smash dunk.

Then, Robinson, who was unable to do anything but remained in shape and had no extra movements, was whistled for a defensive foul by Bavita.

And One!

"I didn't foul!" Robinson said unevenly.

"David, how do you say that?" Yu Fei smiled and said, "Redress is in the Lord, and the Lord will repay you (Romans 12:19)." Don't you believe in the Lord's retribution? ”

Robinson is the kind of person who spends his days teaching young people with the words of the Bible and leading them forward.

But Robinson also knew that it was not a good thing to hold a Bible on the court, so he famously said, "Don't XX except when you're playing."

At this time, he was ridiculed by Yu Fei in the words of the Bible, and Robinson was left with only resentment.

Then, Yu Fei smiled at Bavita, and the other party was expressionless, as if he was really enforcing the law impartially.

Yu Fei only knew that if Bavita continued to give him preferential treatment, he really had to sign the other party's little grandson.

Hit the free throw, 0-3.

Since the Spurs let Stephen Jackson defend Yu Fei, this resulted in the two being perfectly aligned on both ends of the floor.

Yu Fei likes to let Jackson go to trap Duncan.

Because the Spurs learned from the Lakers the offensive starting style of OK, isolated positioning, and breaking up all defenses.

People OK is to let Kobe stand on the outside, O'Neal plays in the low post, the Spurs don't have Kobe, and Duncan's low-post destructive power is not as good as O'Neal's, but the combination of Duncan and Jackson can be regarded as a weapon to break the defense.

What the Spurs didn't expect was that Yu Fei really didn't treat Jackson, who had a three-point shooting rate of only 33%, as a person.

Duncan took the ball outside the paint area, and Yu Fei immediately shrank inward to form a bag with Mason.

The hard requirement for stars in the era of big balls is the ability to score points in a small space.

The lack of quality shooters caused the space to be unopened, so the bag came quickly. Moreover, because the quality of the shooter is not high, people are not afraid of you passing the ball to the outside.

Duncan's first reaction to the bag was not to return the ball to Jackson, but to observe the situation, but when Mason and Yu Fei put more and more pressure on the defense, he also had to dribble backwards to buy space.

As a result, more than a dozen seconds of offensive time were nearly wasted under a casual and wrong decision by Duncan.

"There's no time!"

Duncan's reminder from his teammates made Duncan panic, and he stepped straight back and stepped on the three-point line to make an extremely embarrassing buzzer-beating shot.

In a trance, Yu Fei thought that he had seen Wembanyama, Chet, Porzingis and other soft eggs of the small ball era who had no inner soul possessed Duncan (1).

(1) If you think Duncan won't do this kind of thing, it is recommended to enjoy the fifth game of the 03 West Finals.

Duncan's shot can be described as nonsensical, this is not his offensive habit at all, and the result is naturally predictable.

The ball grazed the bottom edge of the basket and flew out of bounds.

"It's a pity!" Yu Fei said sarcastically, "If you move the basket forward 10 centimeters, you will enter." ”

Duncan's eyes blinked, and he whispered, "That's right." ”

Duncan ran away, and Mason wondered, "Is he serious?" ”

Then Yu Fei also ran away, because it was easy for his IQ to drop after staying with Mason for a long time.

"Is he serious"? Is this something that a man can ask?

Subsequently, Yu Fei noticed that Bowen's off-ball defense against Ray Allen was brutal.

Even just watching from the sidelines, you can feel how fierce the physical confrontation Bowen gives off the ball.

Bowen would go to the gym to lift weights after every game, a habit he maintained for many years, and he was the most energetic man on the Spurs.

This may be the secret of his defensive toughness, and even Kobe Bryant will struggle if a tireless and dirty man focuses on defense.

Stars like Ray Allen, who only know how to withstand counterattacks, are Bowen's favorite targets.

Seeing that Aaron ran but didn't have a chance, Yu Fei had to call Dan Gazuric's block.

didn't think about it, it was Robinson who came out, and Yu Fei played tactics and passed the ball to Gazuric, who was down.

At this point, it looks like things are going well.

As a result, just as he was about to finish, a Duncan suddenly flew out.

No, it should be said to kill a Duncan.

Because Duncan was always on the ground, just raising his hands allowed Gazuric to miss a simple chance ball.

That's where the Spurs' twin towers are tough, with both men having fast enough pace to block and roll high, one out and the other able to protect the basket under the basket.

Of course, this also has something to do with Mason's lack of shooting threat, and Duncan is not afraid to give him an open spot and can concentrate on protecting the basket.

It's just that the Spurs also have difficulties on the offensive end.

The stunned Tony Parker is clearly not qualified as an offensive engine.

In the era when it can be used, it has been tried and tested repeatedly to launch an oppressive bag against the ball holder through Yu Fei.

Parker was forced to pass, but fell into the Bucks' trap.

Sprewell steals the ball.

The two sides went back and forth, Duncan hated a ball in front, and the Bucks immediately forced Parker's pass error under Yu Fei's lead.

Sprewell, who got a fast-break opportunity, rushed to the front court and scored a dunk.

0 to 5

Fans at the SBC Center booed Parker as he dribbled past half the court.

This boo. Well, there's a sense of the beauty of Kawhi Leonard's first return to the Spurs' home court during the Raptors.

Regardless of who is right and who is wrong in the grievances between Ka Er and the Spurs, the fans boo him as it should be, what is Parker's crime?

Yu Fei really feels that Spurs fans hate Parker, and this is not the first time he has heard them booing the French at the SBC Center.

In the face of adversity, Parker did not give up on himself, and sent Duncan to the crowd with boos.

Duncan jumped lightly and completed the aerial relay dunk.

Then the fans began to cheer.

The so-called stinky tofu type player is nothing more than this.

After the young but sharp Parker was promoted to the starting lineup, there was a joke that he would be educated by Popovich's hair dryer every game. Duncan didn't like him, and then, the league's best guard was in stark with them for another year, waiting for the offseason to send David Robinson off and use the salary space he freed up to sign Kidd.

Therefore, the current Parker is basically in a state of disgust with dogs.

2 to 5

Yu Fei took the ball, and now he has two options, one is to make the ball for Ray Allen so that he doesn't get confused by Bowen, and the other is to make the ball for Sprewell and make him more problematic by embarrassing Parker.

If Ray Allen can put up with George Carr for so many years, what if he puts up with Bowen more?

Yu Fei decided to suffer Rey-ray, and if something went wrong in the back, Bao Wen would be responsible.

Yu Fei called Sprewell's pick-and-roll.

Parker chose not to switch defenses, which was a smart choice, but not so smart, because he and Sprewell were at the free-throw line, and as long as Yu Fei passed the ball, the madman could immediately attack.

When the ball arrived, Sprewell received the ball and stepped past Parker and rushed to the basket to challenge Duncan again.

Duncan still took the defensive side, but Sprewell was not the timid man of Gazuric, and a bluffing standing guard was unlikely to stop him.

Sprewell scored on a defensive layup.

“！ ￥@%”

First, Popovich yelled at Parker, believing that the Frenchman's defense was too bad to give Duncan time to react, and then the crowd began to echo.

The harshest two sentences are "We want Jason!" And, "We want Manu!" ”

However, the sound of boos was overwhelming, so it is likely that Parker did not hear these two hurtful words.

Yu Fei quietly savored this natural sound, who caused it? It's not him anyway, he's just a facilitator. The important thing is that the people of the Holy City didn't know how good Parker could be.

Will the great GDP portfolio disintegrate ahead of schedule because of his arrival?

Thinking of this possibility, the boos of the SBC center became even more moving.
