Chapter 216 Life is not satisfactory, just be more satisfactory than others

Entering the New Year, the Bucks ushered in the comeback of Ray Allen, but this comeback was a failure.

Ray Allen faltered on the pitch, out of form, as a starter and second leader, unable to attack and defend, and in the first game of his comeback, he leaked his foundation.

"Enough! If there is a wound, heal the wound! Yu Fei not only found out that Ray Allen's injury was not good, but also knew that the other party was disturbed by Reed's recent performance.

It's becoming more and more of a luxury for the two to work together for another season.

Michael Reid is back in the starting line-up.

Reed's return to the starting line-up doesn't mean it's all right, because Ray Allen will be back sooner or later.

As long as Ray Allen returns, the starting line-up will be his.

This made Reed want to play better, and he added his shot before the All-Star voting deadline, which had little impact on Fly, but upset others.

Yu Fei's patience with Reed ran out until the All-Star voting deadline.

"From now on, I don't want to see you average more than 15 shots per game." Normally, a man who averages 30 shots per game in the absence of several key players would have counterproductive advice to his teammates, but Reed knows better than anyone else's energy to fly. "The All-Star voting is over, and no matter how much you increase your shots, you won't get another ticket, and if you insist on playing like that, I think you might be better off the bench."

Reed couldn't help but argue: "I was originally a substitute, as long as Ray came back, I would be a substitute." ”

Yu Fei's face did not change at all, not even his tone did not change, and Reed could not see any emotion in him.

For Fei, whether it is Ray Allen or Reed, they are just his helpers.

They don't have a personal relationship, so he approaches both relationships very realistically.

When he needed Reed to beat Ray Arun, Reed was in the palm of his hand.

When he needed the team to regain stability and give Ray Allen peace of mind from his injury, Reid was the clear starting spare tyre.

What if Reid refuses to accept this reality, and even wants to change it, even at the cost of throwing the team into turmoil?

This one is simple, really simple.

Yu Fei's face was flat, and his tone was calm, as if he was chatting with someone in a restaurant, and said, "Is there anything wrong with this?" Ray is at the heart of us and if you're not happy about that, I can get you back on the bench right now. ”

Reed felt despair, the sense of despair that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't achieve his goal, and he had the courage and guts to confront the man in front of him who had a team in a sense: "Do you think that all I did was to temporarily serve as a replacement for Ray after he was injured?" ”

Who doesn't know what you want, I approve of your ambitions, but what about strength? Coming out to mix is about strength.

Although Reid performed no less than Ray Allen in December, when Ray Allen was sidelined.

However, when we say that someone is "no less" than someone, the subtext is actually "a little worse".

Moreover, in this context, to say that Reed is a little worse than Ray Allen is not to say that the ability is a little worse, but Reed's best shooting and ball-handling offense are a little worse than Ray Allen.

If you were to compare the two with the quality of the players, it would not be a little worse.

"You're a little presumptuous, Michael." Yu Fei really didn't like Reed's name, so his tone changed, and it no longer sounded as plain as before. "To date, you have never shown that you can completely replace Rey-ray. You did play well last month, but if you think you can replace him with this, you're naïve. ”

Reid walked away.

He recognized the reality that Yu Fei would not help him when he was competing for the main position.

At this time, Reed realized that he had nothing to rely on except Yu Fei.

Who in the team will support him to start with Ray Allen?

Teammates have become dissatisfied with his recent snatching behavior, and the coaching staff trust Ray Allen more, and Yu Fei, the only influence on this, is clearly on Ray Allen's side, as for the higher-level bosses

Senator Kerr should be happy that he agreed to match the four-year, $12 million contract last year.

What a bargain it is to lock up an All-Star player for four years with a child labor contract!

Soon after, reality played a big joke on Reed.

Despite his dismal attendance this season, Ray Allen was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star bench. Reed, who has been crazy about Kerry since last December, is still not appreciated.

For the All-Star Game, Ray Allen naturally couldn't play because of an injury, so he mercifully "ced" this spot to Reed.

Of course, this concession was not made by Ray Allen's subjective will. Instead, the league found out that Ray Allen couldn't play, so they let Reed fill in.

So, anyway, Reed is also an All-Star.

But his All-Star is still Ray Allen's spare tire.

When Mr. Da Lei recovers, he will get out of the starting line-up.

Aside from requesting a trade, Reed has no way of changing his situation.

So, a few days before All-Star Weekend, Reed requested a trade from the team through his agent.

The news swept through the league in an instant, and there was a sudden major crisis within the defending champions, and countless people who didn't like the Bucks were ready to have fun.

Then again, the Bucks aren't the only team with hidden dangers.

Especially the three top teams in the West.

The F4 Lakers started off on a good start, and although the troubles caused by the Kobe case put the team's season in a haze, Malone and Payton helped O'Neal lead them to a new life, and in the first two months of the game, they also handed in a 17-4 record.

However, the good times were short-lived, and as a famous iron man in the NBA, Malone suffered a serious knee injury in January 2004, which made him miss the game for a while. What's even more hilarious is that Malone was also misdiagnosed by quacks in the process of recovering from his injury, making him almost unplayable for the next three months.

The Lakers' performance declined, the relationship between O'Neal, Jackson and Kobe Bryant was strained again, and the smell of war filled the Lakers' surroundings.

Then there's another team that doesn't look like it should have gone wrong.

Before the Lakers formed F4, the Spurs, who signed Jason Kidd, were the top favorites to win the championship this season.

However, Kidd's arrival hit Tony Parker's morale hard.

In just a few months, Parker went through the whole process of frustration – rebellion – despair – applying for a deal.

If it were just Parker asking for a trade, the Spurs might not be so scrambling.

It's not terrible to apply for a trade, it's a big deal, Parker's first prize has been scraped out of seventy percent, and no one wants it.

But the feud between Kidd and Popovich dragged the Spurs into a deeper predicament.

As a player, Kidd has always been known as a coach on the field.

If a fan calls a player like that, it means that the player has the style of a general. But what if it's a recognized on-field coach among the players? For a strong coach, the last thing they need is a coach on the pitch to teach them how to run the team.

Popovich led the team like this, and sprayed a hair dryer in front of Duncan in front of the rookie, thus telling the newcomers and others that even Duncan was sprayed by me, and you cubs had better clamp their tails and be human and obediently listen to Lao Tzu.

This trick didn't work on Kidd.

When Popovich instilled his coaching philosophy in Kidd, Kidd was possessed by green, I don't want you to think, I want me to think.

And, Kidd has the confidence to call Popovich as he has turned a perennially bad team into a Finals-caliber team in New Jersey.

In New Jersey, he frowned, and Byron Scott had to wonder why his grandfather was unhappy for a long time.

Popovich wants to blow the hair dryer on him, and he has to weigh Kidd's notoriety, after all, he is the first domestic violence expert in the new century, and this character will definitely not be good.

One requested a trade, the other refused to accept the coach, and the Spurs went into the dreaded Infernal Hell.

I obviously strengthened it, but I found that it was better not to strengthen it.

The other Western Conference championship team with a problem has the least problem and the least symptomatic symptoms than the other two teams - the Kings triggered Ewing's Law in the long-term absence of interior core Chris Webber, and the record is so good that there are rumors that "it is better to trade Webb's soft egg".

Therefore, everything is afraid of comparison.

Life is unsatisfactory, in the final analysis, as long as you are more satisfied than others.

Looking at what happened to these companies in the West, Bucks management found that as long as they handled Reed's trade request well, there would be no additional negative impact.

In the final game before the All-Star weekend, the Bucks hosted the Kings, Yu Fei chose to rest, and Karl let Reed play for 44 minutes and gave him unlimited fire.

Reed knew what that meant.

Since you are going to trade, you have to re-inspect the goods for each team, and the better you play, the more likely you are to leave the team.

So, Reed made a crazy 33-shot shot with the help of the whole team, hitting 18 of them, cutting a career-high 43 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, but in the end the Bucks lost to the Kings.

It was a good reflection of Reed's strengths and weaknesses.

His ball-holding offense is good, his shooting ability is among the top in the league, if he goes to a weak team, he can lead the team to compete for the champion while cutting points and selling tickets, and he can also be a secondary attacker when he goes to a strong team.

"Rey-ray, if you were to apply for a trade, would you be as crazy as him?"

Yu Fei stood on the sidelines with Ray Allen in formal suits, and the Bucks lost tonight, but Reed was interviewed with a smile on his face like a winner. He's probably saying he's going to give it his all no matter which team he goes to.

Ray Allen looked like he couldn't make a joke, "I don't make that assumption. ”

"Okay, so tell me you can come back after the All-Star break?"

Reid is about to be traded, and Ray Allen feels like he's back in the fly.

What a realistic person!

When you need yourself, you have an ambiguous attitude, and when you don't need yourself, you kick it away, it's like a dog!

"The doctor said yes."

"Really?" Yu Fei said with a harmless face, "Anyway, the trade deadline is after the All-Star break, and if you can't come back smoothly by then, we can only postpone Michael's trade until the offseason." ”

"Hopefully he'll have fun at the All-Star Game and I'll give him a few more passes."

Ray Allen broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, how can this deal be variable?

Ray Allen, who noticed that he was a little out of shape, glanced at Yu Fei, but found that the other party was looking at him playfully.

Yu Fei's expression was as if the prank had succeeded.
