Chapter 206: When the Shark Becomes Beastly
At the beginning of the second quarter, Karl asked Yu Fei, who had played the entire first quarter, to rest and sent a lineup that was hard not to think about to play the transition stage.
Sprewell, Ray Allen, Reed, Horry, Pachuria.
There are no point guards and no small forwards.
The point guard will be rotated by three players who are capable of averaging 20 points per game.
Soon, Reed was stripped of his point guard credentials.
Because his dribbling skills are not good enough to take on the duties of a point guard, however, Reed has shown a different side of himself during this time.
That's when Yu Fei is present, he won't show his face.
Reed behaves more selfishly and egotially than he imagined.
Especially when the positional battle starts, he is like a ball-devouring machine, stopping every time the ball reaches his hands.
There is only one way Reed can handle the ball, and that is to create shooting opportunities for himself as much as he can, and for this, he does not hesitate to break the tactical process and let Pachulia block for him.
Soon, Carl couldn't stand him anymore.
When Reed hit 1-of-4 shooting in three minutes, Karl called a timeout and replaced Reed with Devin George, who immediately reprimanded him fiercely: "Listen to me, I don't need you to do anything superfluous!" Pass the ball out, keep your three-point shooting percentage at 40%, and if you can't, then stay on the sidelines! ”
Reed knows that every step up to the top will come with hardships and obstacles, and tonight was just a bad luck.
He wouldn't be bothered by Carl's accusations like Ray Allen.
He knows he has a lot of value to the team, so he will never be left out of the cold just because he didn't play well.
Just play it well next time.
That's the difference between a desperate climb up the draft and a pretentious lotto pick like Ray Allen.
People like Reed will try to prove themselves at every opportunity.
"With a salary of $3 million a year, why do you work so hard?" Yu Fei, who was silently observing the situation, asked casually.
Reid joked, "If I fight hard, maybe I have a chance to get $30 million a year like MJ." ”
"For the example I gave you, I had to be on Rey-ray's side."
"Fry, I'm kidding."
Yu Fei still cherishes Reed very much, and it is difficult to find a shooter like this who has a top 10 production in the league and shoots 44% three-point shooting in a single season. If he can really maintain a 44 percent three-point shooting rate while averaging 20 points per game, that's at the level of Ray Allen.
Although Ray Allen may be more well-rounded, if it were to choose between the two, Yu Fei would definitely lean towards Reed.
Therefore, Reed wants to compete with Ray Allen, and Yu Fei will not easily stand on the side, unless Reed affects the team, or, there are enough game samples to prove that he really can't average 20 points per game and maintain a 40% three-point shooting rate like Ray Allen.
Halfway through the second quarter, the Lakers chased the difference to 3 points under the leadership of Malone.
Subsequently, the Bucks used to fly, (Devon) George, and Mason replaced Sprewell, Ray Allen, and Horry.
As for the Lakers, they also switched back to the main force.
Gary Payton has already collected his mood, he is much quieter than the first quarter, and the big mouth of the megatron seems to be unworthy of the name at this moment.
However, the Lakers who are all the main players still have that taste.
Payton gave the ball to Malone, who habitually passed to Bryant.
When Malone jammed Mason's body, he thought Bryant would pass the ball back to him. However, the return pass did not happen, but Bryant dribbled along the bottom corner and suddenly jumped up, and a step inside the three-point line rolled over the bottom corner and threw a jumper.
"Bang!"
The rebounding ball bounced into Yu Fei's hand.
Yu Fei was stunned for half a second, and then happily dribbled forward.
is worthy of being an idol, and he can strike iron with different tricks every time.
At the thought of being able to watch idols fight like this for 12 years, the four-day old Comey was overjoyed, and when he came up, he decided to help the idol out of his anger, waved his hand and said, "Zaza, bring that fat pig out for me!" ”
Yu Fei didn't talk about martial arts, and he called O'Neal's name when he came up, and the Lakers were also negligent for a while, and they didn't expect that he would ask for a shark if he didn't pay attention to flying in a round.
Is it so hateful?
Because the Lakers did not prepare in advance, O'Neal chose to shrink, so after a block, Yu Fei got an empty position, and he jumped directly at the free throw line.
"Huh!"
"Can't bring it out, boss," Pachulia said after discovering that O'Neill was not blocking at all.
"It's okay, I already knew that this unplanted Puxi didn't dare to come out."
Yu Fei said to Pachuria: "Keep up the good work. ”
Pachulia hated O'Neill when he saw that he was flying, and although he was a rookie, some skills were learned from a young age.
He decided to surprise Yu Fei.
In the next round, the angry O'Neal wanted to return the favor, and the Bucks also went crazy, actually expanding their defense, and relieved Pachulia to play against him.
Actually, this is Pachuria's request. Mason was about to shrink, but was pushed away by Pachuria's gesturing.
This changed Mason's opinion of Pachuria. He didn't like the Georgians at all, so he focused on Haslem. He thinks Haslem has a 10 percent chance of inheriting his mantle. Unexpectedly, the Georgians are soft on the outside and the inside, and Mason is convinced.
Pachulia was completely behind O'Neal with a foul move.
O'Neal jumped to push him away with a smashing ball, then turned around and smashed the basket into a rage.
However, the accident happened when O'Neill landed, and Pachulia was "too late" to take his foot back, one was careless, and the other didn't pay attention, and actually paddled O'Neal's foot.
O'Neill screamed in pain and fell.
When Yu Fei suggested that the team choose Pachuria, he did have a little crooked mind - if this guy was beaten in a hurry, he might put the other party's feet on the mat - he didn't expect the dream to come true so quickly, and the mat was still O'Neal, a bastard who was not as good as a pig and dog, very good, if he "accidentally" padd Duncan, Yu someone would inevitably blame himself.
However, O'Neill seemed to be fine, and after the pain, he stood up with a thunderous rage to settle accounts with Pachuria.
It was too late, and Pachulia hid behind the crowd when he saw that the situation was not good, and Mason and other pacifists stepped forward to persuade him.
"Don't be angry, that's a rookie, he doesn't know how to defend at all."
“! ¥#! ¥”
Mason, the referee and O'Neal's teammates were persuaded and finally persuaded to stop.
Then Mason also came over and counted Pachuria, "You rookie is really not good at learning, you will be traded in the future, don't say I took you!" Not only did you lose your face like this, but Da Fei's face was also lost! ”
"Indeed, the footing is not good." Yu Fei nodded and said, "Next time, I'll find some Bruce Bowen's game video for you to see, and you can learn something good." ”
Mason was dumbfounded.
Conflict can be persuaded by good words, but as long as the game continues, the fire that has already appeared will ignite a fire.
Yu Fei did not show his appreciation for Pachuria, after all, what the other party did was difficult to be elegant after all.
But there is always someone to do the dirty work.
Pachulia found the password to the superior.
He discovers that the team boss has a feud with O'Neal, and the more he provokes O'Neal, the more the boss appreciates him.
As great as O'Neal is, he's not his teammate, and the Lakers are the Bucks' number one rival on the road to defending their title, so with so much objective background, he feels like he can do more with O'Neal.
Yu Fei called for blocking and dismantling O'Neal, and the Lakers asked Malone to clear the siege.
Moreover, they don't want Yu Fei to have a chance to attack in a misplaced position, so for Fei's blocking and dismantling attack, their choice is often brainless.
This gives them a certain respite.
Because neither Pachulia nor Mason can pose a three-point threat.
Therefore, even if they let these two go in exchange for the opportunity to fly in the bag, it will be difficult for them to use their opportunities to score consistently.
If Yu Fei insists on naming O'Neal, there is indeed nothing to be done about the Lakers' bag when there is no three-point threat on the inside. But there's more than one way to hit O'Neal.
Yu Fei entered the second stage of the roll call - the second position blocking and dismantling tactics.
Yu Fei and Ray Allen's pick-and-roll tactics are the Bucks' attacking weapons.
The Lakers tried to let go of Ray Allen, and after being sanctioned by three points, they chose to change the defense, so Yu Fei played against Kobe.
Kobe Bryant is one of the Lakers' outside gates, and it is the best outcome for them for him to switch defenses.
Yu Fei jumped immediately and jumped in front of Kobe.
This doesn't take Kobe's defense into account at all.
Kobe Bryant has tried his best to interfere, but Yu Fei is better than a high word.
"Huh!"
After Tim Grover's special training, Yu Fei's most intuitive feeling of his own changes is the lightness of his body.
In the past, Yu Fei did the same action with all his strength, but now, he can spare energy.
In Grover's words, he can mobilize more force than before with the same movement.
was pulled out in front of someone, Kobe Bryant was naturally unwilling.
Ten seconds later, the Lakers' offense ended with a single from Kobe Bryant.
It is worth encouraging that Kobe's singles, although unreasonable, scored in.
Yu Fei and Kobe Bryant began to face off against each other, although it only lasted less than two minutes, but for the Lakers True Core, this period of time was too difficult.
Not to mention wasting physical strength by running back and forth in vain, but also to deal with Pachuria's nasty little movements.
O'Neill's patience has reached its limit.
With a three-pointer from Devin George's pass to Devin George after the flying block, he unilaterally announced the end of the singles.
Kobe Bryant said with practical actions: You're over, I'm just getting started.
When Bryant once again ignored tactics and singled out, and then hit the iron, O'Neal focused all his anger on that one.
He jumped, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then wanted a hot dunk.
Just as he was gathering his strength and preparing to jump, Pachulia struck O'Neill's hand without restraint, completely ignoring the feelings of others.
"Smack!!!!
Yu Fei thought to himself, it must be very painful.
This sound is so crisp, Pachulia is really a strong man!
The referee blows the whistle and O'Neill drops the ball.
The big shark went berserk in an instant, and reason evaporated at this moment, and he threw a righteous punch at Pachuria. But in American dramas, justice does not always triumph over evil.
As the embodiment of evil, Pachulia had a forewarning of the consequences of his move, and he reflexively ducked back, avoiding his opponent's full force.
However, how could O'Neill, who had already been aroused by his bestial nature, be willing to be escaped by him?
Mason wants to score twice and be a peacemaker again.
Yu Fei also came over, and he saw that O'Neill was furious, and Mason was afraid that he would not be able to resist it.
As a result, his arrival did not have the slightest cooling effect on the situation, and O'Neill, who was already red-eyed, suddenly felt that Yu Fei was more hateful than Pachuria, a rat generation. This person has not yet entered the league and has spoken disrespectfully to himself, and last season he humiliated himself by relying on the fact that he had just returned from injury, and now he dares to persuade him?
The most indebted is this Chinese guy!
As a result, the first person in the NBA since the beginning of the new century took the initiative to swing his fist at last season's MVP.
Yu Fei subconsciously raised his hand to block before he dodged the heavy blow, but the vibration and soreness in his wrist and the burning pain made him realize how much strength O'Neill had used.
Almost instantly, Yu Fei, who was already disgusted with O'Neal, raised his other hand and threw an uppercut at O'Neal's big fat face.
Smack!
He hit!
Bradley Center was transformed into a riot scene in an instant.
Yu Fei and O'Neill got into a fight, and the boxing fight will be remembered as a mark of hatred between the two, and in the end, sane people prevailed, and the two sides were quickly separated, and the referee issued a sentence of expulsion.
The left side of O'Neill's face was swollen, and to make matters worse, his left eye was bruised.
On the other hand, Yu Fei at least has a clean face, which reflects another thing: O'Neill is not good at fighting.
Before Yu Fei left the field, Pachulia ran over and said, "I don't want to involve you if the league wants to fine...... Count it on my head. ”
"Joke, I need your money?" Yu Fei was not satisfied with a few punches, and glared at O'Neill in the distance hatefully, "That Sima big fat pig, I wanted to beat him for a long time!"
Yu Fei walked into the players' tunnel, Leitner chased after him, and he was speechless: "You want to fight, why don't you let George replace me?"
"Didn't you see that the dog mongrel made the first move?"
Leitner only saw that O'Neal's skills were empty, and then ate Yu Fei's two flat aces.
"I saw ......"
"Then what nonsense are you talking about!"
Lightner secretly sighed, it seems that their Young Master Yu will never be able to understand what "take a step back, someone will help me".
Is this good?
Lightner could feel that Yu Fei was gaining the gratitude of rookies such as Pachuria.
If Yu Fei can make a move for Pachuria, then he can do it for anyone.
Two key players were ejected, and the Lake Deer battle was much less interesting.
In the second half, the Bucks, who lost Yu Fei, were significantly more flustered than the Lakers who lost O'Neal.
On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant became normal, and Malone showed the responsibility of a veteran, with 32 points and 11 rebounds in the game.
The Bucks battled for four quarters and eventually lost the first game of the season at home.
However, no one cares about this result anymore.
More important than this is how many games Yu Fei and O'Neal will be banned, as well as the opinions of the parties on this.
With the personalities of Yu Fei and O'Neill, they will never give up.
Post-match interview
'It wasn't a normal game and I think we still have a lot of problems to solve. - Phil Jackson on the game.
"Why are you emphasizing Shaq's first hand? I'll admit that Shaq was a little impulsive, but Frye's fight back was merciless. He punched Shaq at least twice, and we must ask the league for an explanation on this matter. —Phil Jackson refuted the Milwaukee reporter's claim that O'Neal was the initiator of the conflict.
"This game is a great proof that no matter who can't play, our Lakers are an invincible and strong team." - Kobe Bryant excitedly gives his post-game speech.
"Why should I help? When I was in trouble, Shaq didn't give me a call. - Bryant explained why he was "invisible" in that fight.
"Young people are getting less and less educated these days, especially the Bucks' No. 44, and I gave him trophies when he wasn't in the NBA, if I knew he would be like this. Hum! —Gary Payton criticized Yu Fei.
"I'm not here to be a bodyguard." - Carl Malone explains why he didn't stop the conflict in the first place.
"He publicly insulted me before he even entered the league. From the time he entered the league, he did not show any respect! I'm a three-time champion! I'm the best player in the league! I want the rookie to respect me, but all I get from him is insults and ridicule, and I swear I'll do it to him if he continues like this! Shaquille O'Neill vehemently accused Yu Fei of his actions.
"Fry hit O'Neill? Yes, but it was O'Neill who made the first move. Frye simply exercised his right to defence. —George Carr on Yu Fei's conflict with O'Neill.
"Fighting is bad, we should find a better solution." – Ray Allen on conflict.
"Who did it first? (Reporter answers: O'Neill), that's fine. —Anthony Mason deftly responds to the same question.
"I didn't do anything, and I don't know why he was so angry." — Zaza Pachulia expressed surprise at O'Neill's fierce reaction.
"Frye, what do you think of Shaq saying you lack respect for him?"
"Interesting, this miscellaneous can't even get the respect of his biggest helper on the way to the championship, but he dares to expect my respect?"
"What do you think of Zaza Pachuria's controversial gesture against Shaq?"
"I don't think there's anything controversial about it, it's really a bad move, but Zaza is a good guy and he hates racism as much as I do, so if he loses his mind in the face of racists, I understand that."
"Charles Barkley said you know kung fu because you dodged every punch Shaq throws, how did you do that?"
"It's not hard to dodge the fists of the worst free thrower of all time, and trust me, you can do it too."
PS: I do feel that the illustrations affect the reading experience too much, and I can't send small pictures at the starting point, so I decided not to illustrate in the middle of the article. Whether there is an illustration at the end of the article depends on the situation.
