Chapter 202: The Greatest Enemy Is Yourself

Carl tried to have different combinations of personnel partner with Yu Fei.

For example, in the closing stage of the second quarter, it stands to reason that the Bucks need to play with all the main forces, because the opposite Timberwolves are the full main lineup.

However, on the Bucks' side, only Yu Fei and Sprewell are the absolute main forces, and the other three are Quentin Richardson, Christian Leitner and Robert Horry.

Lightner and Sprewell both know Yu Fei's temperament, while the other two are new signings who still need to get used to it.

As a result, one of the two performed amazingly, and the other brought fright.

It's Horry that's stunning.

Theoretically, Horry's space four is the most compatible player.

Horry hasn't faced a ball-handling nucleus in his career who needs him to pick and roll out and shoot threes from the outside, and his way of showing value is mainly by providing space support around Olajuwon and O'Neal.

This is the first time he has worked with a ball-carrying nucleus.

Horry quickly got into the groove, and every block and pick with Yu Fei was effective.

Quentin Richardson's performance was a bit confusing.

Richardson, nicknamed Big Q, knew he was a "smart guy" as soon as he heard this nickname. Tonight for the first time to represent the Bucks in an official game, Big Q showed his good and bad and good and bad characteristics.

He defends fiercely, but his awareness is not good. The rebounding protection is good, but the passing awareness is weak. He has a strong desire to attack and dares to shoot three-pointers, but the problem is that the overall shooting rate is less than 40%.

Karl wanted him to bring energy to the bench, and he did.

Mr. Big Q has injected his own stamp on the team from the very beginning.

The most frightening thing is that when Da Q was alone, he didn't even pay attention to Yu Fei.

There was a round, after Da Q observed the opposite formation, he firmly believed that he had a chance to play alone. Once he develops that perception, he doesn't pass the ball.

Yu Fei and the others had to watch as he forcefully burst into the interior before being blocked by Garnett.

"What are you doing?" Yu Fei couldn't help but ask.

Big Q said: "I'm playing small and big, big flying, you have to admit that it was a good opportunity just now, right?" ”

"It's a good opportunity, but did you take it?"

Big Q smiled: "I grasped it, but I didn't enter"

Mentally retarded Yu Fei scolded in his heart.

The sick big Q is indeed a headache, however, he has had fewer episodes tonight, although he scared his teammates, but his wild defense is very compatible with Yu Fei, who likes to leave his defenders to sweep in the high position.

Ray Allen continues to be snubbed.

From the time he was substituted in the first quarter to the time he was substituted in the second quarter, he sat on the bench for 13 minutes.

When he was replaced, Yu Fei was not there.

Present were Damon Jones, a ranged guard signed by the Bucks in the offseason, Big Q, who was not recognized by six relatives, Mason, who doesn't treat anyone as a dog except Yu Fei, and Haslem, who doesn't seem to have a very high IQ.

No one gave Ray Allen a pass.

It's not an isolated case, it's that everybody doesn't want to pass the ball to him.

Ray Allen had to bring the ball from the back to the front on his own, then call for pick-and-rolls and use his individual ability to complete the attack.

In his fantasy world, Ray Allen still believes that he is the leader of the team, but the performance of these people proves one thing, if Yu Fei doesn't pass the ball to him, then no one else will pass the ball to him.

They won't do what Yu Fei doesn't want to see.

From this point of view, the Bucks are already Yu Fei's team.

Ray Allen's struggles don't exist in the eyes of his teammates, and he feels that the Bucks don't have a boss, and even if Yu Fei has a sophomore season that rivals that of 1971 Lou Alcindor, he's still not the boss.

If Yu Fei is Alcindo, then he is the big O.

This is what Ray Allen thinks.

Based on this perception, he complained to the media that Yu Fei received too much praise. Then, Yu Fei, who no longer concealed himself, gave him a head start, and the echo of his teammates dragged Ray Allen from fantasy to reality.

The reality is that if he doesn't apologize to Yu Fei, he will not only be isolated, but also lose his original team status.

At halftime, Ray Allen made just five shots and scored seven points.

The Bucks didn't look like they needed him to continue shooting, and the others scored 52 points, and the Bucks led the Timberwolves by 14 points at halftime, 59-45.

Yu Fei walked into the players' tunnel, only to find Ray Allen waiting for him on the way back to the locker room.

"Let's talk."

Ray Allen already knows that if he doesn't make his words clear, he won't have a place in the team.

Yu Fei asked casually, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

Ray Allen has been in Milwaukee since 1996, where he thinks he's seen all kinds of people.

Glenn Robinson, Vin Baker, Trill Brandon, Dale Curry, Sam Cassel are all here.

And he's still there.

As the most senior "parent team core" in this team, he thinks he has privileges and he has the right to speak, so when Yu Fei first arrived last year, he had to give him three points.

Now the situation has changed.

Yu Fei is no longer the person who keeps saying that he wants to assist him.

Ray Allen knows that the status between them has changed dramatically.

"How long am I going to be punished for my words that don't hurt anyone?"

Ray Allen feels like a coward on trial, but in this case, he did violate the team's tacit understanding.

The "fart in person" clause is the key to the Bucks' championship, and it was won by Yu Fei in order to make him no longer affected by Carl's big mouth.

However, he broke this tacit agreement himself, although he kept saying these words and said that it would not bother Yu Fei, but what everyone did and its impact were never decided by the person concerned.

"That's a good question, and it's good that it makes me question your education." Yu Fei smiled, "I heard that you have a strict family education, in that case, why didn't those people who educated you directly apologize when you did something wrong?" ”

Ray Allen's face flushed with the extra pressure of anger and grievance.

He didn't know why he had ended up in this position.

Yu Fei didn't seem to have done anything wrong, he was just praised by the outside world as the best player in the team, and then he complained to the media about it.

Now, Yu Fei "feels deeply hurt" and asks him to apologize.

Can he not apologize?

Ray Allen tried the possibility of not apologizing, and Yu Fei's answer was to isolate him from the whole team.

The most important thing is that Yu Fei did not ask his teammates to support him, he just took the initiative not to pass the ball to himself on the field, and then others began to follow suit.

This proves that most of the team members think the same as Yu Fei, thinking that Ray Allen should not talk nonsense outside.

The reaction of his teammates broke through Ray Allen's defenses, which proved one thing, not many people were jealous that Yu Fei received more attention than themselves, and not many people cared that Yu Fei received the most praise, if there was one person who had an opinion on this, it was Ray Allen himself.

It was he who selfishly kidnapped others in front of the media under the banner of "seeking justice" to demand explanations, for which he must apologize.

"I'm sorry." When an arrogant person gives up his dignity and chooses to apologize, you know that his heart is also dying. "I shouldn't have said anything superfluous to the media."

This is the first time that Yu Fei has forced others to submit as the boss of the team.

He can't say he's enjoying it, but it's really a completely different experience than conquering someone on the pitch.

On the field, he enjoys the sense of conquest that others are powerless to resist.

And now, he enjoys the sense of control that Ray Allen wants to resist but can't resist.

Only now did he know why OK couldn't get along, and why Jordan was trading him after realizing what he was about to lose.

The power to control your team is as addictive as XP.

As a player, it is undoubtedly a fool to say "XX is my team", because even the highest salary player is essentially the boss's salaryman. However, once a player can control the thoughts of his teammates, the operation of the team and the plans of the owner at the same time, then why not say that he has a team?

Despite the time constraints, superstars can indeed take charge of everything on the team in their prime.

Yu Fei smiled slightly, "I accept your apology, and I won't take it as an example." ”

"Now let's talk about another thing."

"Which thing?"

"Something about your starters at stake." Yu Fei said, "Don't tell me, you're not interested. ”

That's the other thing that worries about Ray Allen, Reid is too hard to hit the starters.

Now that Ray Allen has regained his senses, there is no need for Yu Fei to let him worry and be afraid.

Therefore, he decided to inform Ray Allen of his opinion of Reed.

It's basically the truth, especially about why Ray Allen is a starter and Reed isn't.

However, what Yu Fei said, especially his opinion on Reed, was limited to tonight's game. A sample of one game is not enough, and more games must be played to know the outcome if a reliable conclusion is to be formed.

Yu Fei only said what he thinks of Reed now, as for Reed's later evolution, if he can average 20 points per game and maintain a three-point shooting rate of more than 40%, that's another matter.

What happened during the short half-time timeout was unimaginable to many in the industry.

For the first time, the young overlord tasted the pleasures of power, and the disgruntled arrogant second master lost his dignity, completely unaware that he was just a pawn of the ruler who was determined to win the first game. When the superior needs him to make trouble, he can destroy it as much as he wants, and once the situation needs to be stabilized, he will also be the first to be taken out to sacrifice the flag.

The Timberwolves also got a glimpse of the future of the season tonight.

Tekoglu was a pleasant surprise.

However, they didn't know how to digest the surprise, and Garnett finally ushered in a big defeat with 24 points, 21 rebounds and 6 assists.

Interestingly, when Yu Fei and Garnett were asked about their feelings, the answers they gave were like two extremes, both profound and simple.

"I don't want to say I did my best tonight, man." Garnett said, "If a guy comes in and shoots you and kills me, we're both going to die." Do you understand? ”

In fact, none of the reporters on the scene could understand Garnett's words.

is also a high school superstar, and reporters prefer to interview Yu Fei.

When asked by reporters if the victory would lift them up and if the Bucks' prospects for defending their title were bright, his answer was impressive.

"To win is to win, it's just one of 82 regular season games, and it doesn't mean anything else. As for defending the title, I think we have a good chance, but if there's one thing we have to say about our biggest opponents on the road to defending the title, it's not the Timberwolves or the Lakers," Yu concluded, "but ourselves. ”
