Hopefully this day will never come

Hopefully this day will never come

Bruce Bowen has met many opponents, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, Nash of the Mavericks, they are all passive opponents.

Bowen tried to step on Kobe Bryant again and again, but was recognized by the other party, sneered back, and taunted him with "I like to play with him" after the game.

Nash is more vulnerable, more like a prey, and even if he suffers, it is difficult to respond, and his fake fall is like a child's game in front of Bowen.

The Bucks are a different story.

Yu Fei is not a ruthless person like Kobe, compared to Kobe, he has stronger autonomy and can easily avoid Bowen's plots. Moreover, if Bowen really pushes him into a hurry, no one knows what he will do, after all, he is notorious.

If it's just Yu Fei, it's actually not that troublesome, and the crux of the problem is precisely that the personnel structure of the Bucks is very similar to the NBA teams in the 80s and 90s.

Thugs, enforcers, thugs, you name it.

Compared with the Bucks, the Spurs, except for Bowen's rat, look at Bing Qingyu on everyone, and they are not the kind of team that will actively seek conflicts with opponents at all.

With Bowen being caught by the Bucks, the scum of the Bucks team revealed their true colors, saying that they would have a hard touch with the Spurs to tie their opponents.

After a timeout, Duncan said, "Give me the ball." ”

His statement is simple, without too many words, just using actions to show that to get things back on track, relying on Bowen's "deterrence" is not a long-term solution after all.

Popovich acquiesced to Duncan's request.

The de facto No. 1 in the league instantly secured the Spurs with a clever low-post single.

The Bucks have also seen a shift in the Spurs.

Popovich no longer let Bowen say anything to him, and it looks like a statement — let's play well and not mess with that mess.

The truth is true, but Yu Fei's idea is, why did he let you step on your feet once in vain?

If it weren't for the ruthlessness of their teammates, would the Spurs have given up on this strategy?

Since you started first, it's not up to you to decide how you end it.

If this foot doesn't come back, even if he wins, Yu Fei can't sleep.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Spurs' offense revolved around the Twin Towers.

Duncan fell low and Robinson stood high.

In the shutdown season, the high-low combination of the twin towers was the Spurs' trump card tactic, but with the degradation of Robinson, the twin towers gradually changed from a dual-core drive to a single-core Duncan force.

Robinson is more often used as a supporting role.

The position where the attack is initiated on the inside naturally dictates that they need to face more problems.

Duncan took the ball in the low post, and Yu Fei ran over from the bottom corner to wrap it.

Because Yu Fei's intentions were too obvious, Duncan waited for him to get closer, and then uploaded the ball to Bowen's position.

Yu Fei predicted that Duncan would pass the ball in advance, so he instantly turned his center of gravity back and rushed towards Bowen's position.

Not counting tonight, Bowen shot 44% from three-point range in the playoffs and is a player who can't be put to rest.

At this time, he thinks he feels good, and the bottom corner is his hot spot, so he has no reason to miss a shooting opportunity.

Bowen naturally jumped up and shot.

Yu Fei's return defense was not fast, when Bowen made a shot, he returned to the defensive position, at this time it was too late to jump and block, all he could do was to move his foot forward.

Stepping? No, Yu Fei thought he had just suddenly become a little clumsy, so he accidentally stretched his leg between Bowen's legs.

Bowen landed, lost his stable foothold, and tripped over Yu Fei's feet that had nowhere to put them.

"What is this?" Popovich, like a court defender, could not tolerate any evil actions that did not belong on the court, and directly pressed Dick Bavita. "It's not a basketball move!"

Yu Fei sneered: "Indeed, compared to Bruce's action of chasing the cushion under someone's feet, I am too immature, and I still need to learn." ”

Bavita scolded Yu Fei: "Enough! Fry, have a good game! ”

As for Popovich's pressure, it was thrown thousands of miles away by Bavita.

Luckily for the Spurs, Bowen is fine.

Although he was padded, Yu Fei did "need to improve" in this regard, and he chose to put both sides in the middle of the pad, which is something that only novices do. A veteran like Bowen always prefers the footpad, which has only a small chance of hitting the opponent's groin and causing more damage.

For Fei, this is not a pity.

He cushioned Bowen as a reciprocal counter while building a deterrent and letting the Spurs know that he's not the kind of person who can't fight back.

When meeting Bowen in the next round, Yu Fei directly jumped his face and threatened: "Bruce, if you do it again, I promise to double it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yu Fei ran back and rushed into the basket and jumped up, catching his teammate's high-toss pass, and catching the dunk in the air.

Bowen didn't have the guts to continue flying down the black feet.

Not to mention Yu Fei's revenge, the existence of Mason and others can itself play the role of bodyguards.

Now, Yu Fei extended the advantage to 5 points with a strong open dunk.

On the Spurs' side, Duncan's pick-and-roll helped Tony Parker break through.

Then, Yu Fei played Stephen Jackson on the outside, disrupted the Spurs' defense in one fell swoop, and passed the ball to Ray Allen.

Ray Allen fakes a real pass and the ball goes to Sprewell.

Sprewell makes an outside jumper.

"Huh!"

"Good !!" Yu Fei shouted, cheering on his teammates while high-five the madman.

Duncan watched him run and jump back to the defense, and there was no wave in his heart.

He and Yu Fei are two kinds of people.

It's not just the age gap, it's the style difference.

A rebellious young man like Yu Fei, who is high-spirited and radical, full of youth, and has his own subordinate attributes, is not destined to be the kind of person Duncan likes.

This kind of person is too egoistic and too assertive.

"He's strong." Duncan said.

Robinson nodded, "That's right, it's really powerful." ”

"But we'll win."

Duncan, and those who believe in him, feel that this year belongs to the Spurs.

They may not be the best team in the league, but they have the best players.

A player in his heyday can lead the team to the end if he has a decent team set-up.

This was the most decisive point of the season.

The 2002-03 season, like most of the NBA's past seasons, was the end of the OK dynasty. Killing the Lakers doesn't prove that the Spurs have the quality to be a champion, and there are at least two teams in the West that are above the defending champions compared to the Spurs.

They are the Kings and Mavericks, and as a result, the core players of both teams have suffered major injuries in the playoffs, and the Spurs have been in danger along the way.

This is a generational season, not an era season. Era seasons only determine the strongest team of the season, while era seasons usually have historically strong teams.

The Spurs, who have the best team in the league, are superior in terms of cutting-edge power and playoff experience, which is why they are favored.

But......

Three minutes before the end of the first half, Duncan's 2+1 allowed the Spurs to chase one point.

Subsequently, George Carr replaced Anthony Mason, leaving Sprewell and Yu Fei in the fourth position, and Michael Reed in the second position.

Suddenly, the bucks showed their cards.

Led by Yu Fei, supplemented by Ray Allen, Sprewell, Reed and Leitner.

This is the node when Duncan is in full swing, and Carl chooses to believe in Yu Fei.

5 OUT LINEUP: THE FUTURE OF OFFENSIVE BASKETBALL?

George Carr believes he can find the answer at the Grand Final.

Four people pulled away, and continued to block and dismantle.

The space on the pitch brought by four shooters kept the Spurs at bay.

Yu Fei first used the space to attack the basket.

It's empty.

After Stephen Jackson's defense was broken, Yu Fei took advantage of the situation to score.

In the regular season, the Spurs saw how powerful X? offense was.

After analysis, the Spurs decided that locking up a certain shooter or letting a certain shooter go was the only solution to the tactic.

The first choice of the Spurs was to target Yu Fei.

Yu Fei began to encounter all kinds of bags.

The early enveloping of the outside line, as well as the front pinching after the block and the middle encirclement after the breakthrough to force the side.

In four rounds, Yu Fei had only one turnover, and the other three offenses brought the Bucks five points.

For the Spurs, although the offensive pressure is not entirely tied to one person, they have only scored three points in four rounds.

Every time Duncan gets the ball, he encounters an early trap, and passes to teammates but can't get the score back.

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

What could be more ironic than this scene?

The Spurs carefully selected the Bucks' shooter to let go, and as a result, Yu Fei's pass still brought back 5 points, but every pass from Duncan did not return the score.

The Spurs' 3 points still relied on Duncan to grab offensive rebounds and play 2+1 on Leitner.

At halftime, the Bucks led the Spurs by 7 points at 52-45, and Yu Fei was elected ESPN's halftime star with 16 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

"At 20 years and six months old, Frye Yu is pushing the Spurs into a corner, and he's not a Tim Duncan-esque global influencer, but as long as the ball is in his hands, the Spurs will be terrified!"

"It's a rising superstar!"

"Can Tim Duncan stop him? Let's take a break..."

Yu Fei walked into the players' tunnel and found Leitner waiting for him here.

"Is there anything wrong, Chris?" Yu Fei asked.

Lettner was here to tell Yu Fei not to compete with Bowen, and that he would make a move if necessary.

But he didn't want to be too flattering, so he didn't say what was in his heart: "If you get sent off because of Bowen, we're in big trouble." ”

Yu Fei glanced at Lightner seriously, "I'm a dignified MVP, of course I won't compete with a dog that eats." But, Chris, have you ever taught a dog? ”

Leitner was a little embarrassed.

He hadn't taught a dog, but he had been taught by Yu Fei as a dog.

"Dogs are the most bullying creatures, no matter how vicious the dog, once people are overwhelmed from the momentum, they will only clamp their tails and be dogs. That's why I did that, and I want Bowen to know that if he dares to blackfoot me again, I'll kill him! ”

Star players should keep their form, that's Leitner's perception.

At the same time, it is also Lightner's biggest shortcoming at present.

But now, Lightner found that things were not as he had hoped.

There is not only one kind of star.

Some celebrities are high, and some celebrities are on their own.

From the moment Yu Fei rebelled against Jordan's domination in DC, he showed that he would rush to the front no matter what, he would not stay out of his teammates when they were in trouble, nor would he say nothing when he was provoked, and he would not do nothing when the team needed him.

This is the secret of how he shook Jordan's foundation in just one year.

This is how he drove Jordan to a dead end, and he will continue to go like this, if one day, he is no longer like this, then the magic in his body will disappear at the speed of light like the Genius Dan.

For a person who is immensely proud, the loss of the biggest personal label is the beginning of the end.

That day, Lightner hopes, will never come.
