As the season draws to a close, the Bucks have also ended their experiment with carnival basketball.

Unlike last season, this year's Bucks can't outperform the Eastern Conference as much as last season.

This season, the Pacers, who have optimized their coaching staff, immediately unleashed their potential and remained strong during the regular season.

The Pacers were the Bucks' regular season sufferers last season, and they were previously taught by the Bucks on the craziest night of carnival basketball.

At the end of the season, there is still a game between the two sides.

This time, the Bucks didn't let the Pacers sit on the title of "Bucks Buster".

Yu Fei and Ray Allen combined for 77 points, the Pacers' outside defense collapsed, and the interior failed to break the Bucks, so they were defeated.

The game gave the Bucks a one-game win over the Pacers and gave them the advantage to stay in the top spot in the East as long as they won all of their remaining two games of the season.

In the East, the Pistons, who look to be wary of, are a team that doesn't look good in the regular season, and the Pacers are the only Eastern team other than the Bucks that can dominate the regular season.

The final four in the West have their own problems.

To some extent, this is not their problem, but the problem of the west, and the result of the region's competitiveness is that it is easy to make everyone's record not beautiful enough.

Within the Bucks, they are determined to win the final two regular-season games.

Because the last two opponents are teams that are outside the playoff ranks.

One is Yu Fei's favorite Cleveland Cavaliers, and the other is the Toronto Raptors, whose injury caused the team to quit the competition early.

The final matchup of the season with the Cavaliers, there are still a lot of stories that happened.

Yu Fei's success is good for James.

In the previous life, it was not until after 2008 that the Cavaliers gradually figured out how to build a team around James. But now, they don't need to study how to build a team, and if there's anything they don't understand, just look at the configuration of the Bucks.

Therefore, although the Cavaliers can't provide James with teammates around Yu Fei now, they know how to position James.

After the All-Star weekend, James played better and better, and now although he has no hope of making the playoffs, he still has 24 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in front of Yu Fei.

Yu Fei's performance was slightly better, with 30 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, but he couldn't attract the national attention as much as he scored 49 points against the Cavaliers at the beginning of the season.

"You know, Frye is my big brother, and I'm going to follow his example and keep going!"

As long as the result is 46 as it is now, James will happily talk about what Yu Fei means to him.

And Yu Fei didn't mind others saying that James's performance was on par with himself.

Jokes, how can the eldest brother be jealous of the younger brother's good fight?

Moreover, Yu Fei also praised his younger brother's rookie season in his unique way: "I know that many people will blame LeBron for missing the playoffs, and I know you are all comparing him to me, but why bother? The Cavaliers won 17 last season and 33 this season (1), I mean, Bronn gave them an extra 16 wins, which is remarkable for a rookie. And, if you put the 33-win Cavaliers into the 1985-86 season, they would replace the Chicago Bulls in the playoffs that year. ”

The reporters were dumbfounded, can you beat around the bush and make the GOAT?

Yu Fei didn't seem to know that he was yin and yang, and even explained: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you that 33 wins is great." ”

Well, understand the applause.

In fact, Yu Fei didn't deliberately want to hack Jordan, he originally wanted to use the difference between James' wins before and after his arrival to argue that James is the rookie of the year, so that those who say that Cameron Anthony's melon skin is the rookie of the year should be provincial.

And then he thought, no, according to this logic, Anthony is more qualified to be selected as Rookie of the Year.

Because the Nuggets had the same 17 wins as the Cavaliers last season, and they have broken 40 wins this season.

Moreover, in terms of data, Anthony is not bad, in terms of improving his record, he has improved more, in terms of regional competitiveness, four of the eight teams in the western playoff circle belong to the championship team, and the five or even six teams have to win 50 Shura Field, which is really not comparable to the big head and small fish pond in the east.

You can't think about it, the more you think about it, the more you think about it, the more you can't help but turn outward - Gua Xiaozi is actually himself - anyway, this year's Rookie of the Year is his younger brother's, it's useless for anyone to come, unless Anthony leads the Nuggets to the finals and destroys him and the Bucks, otherwise his mouth is hard to the end.

Therefore, this mouth can't be mentioned, Yu Fei had no choice but to shoot at Jordan, just crookedly, it was really not intentional.

After that, in the final game of the regular season, the Bucks hosted the Raptors.

For the Raptors this season, the irony is that Carter couldn't play when there was still hope for the season, but he regained his health in the "garbage time" at the end of the season.

That night, Carter took off several times at Bradley Center and staged stunning dunks, just as beautiful as Yu Fei had seen at the All-Star Game before.

He can see from those dunks why this guy has not developed as expected in recent years, and he has been plagued by injuries since last season but is still the All-Star ticket leader.

But the scary thing is that Carter's background (North Carolina) and Carter's dunk (reminiscent of Jordan) all gave him original sin.

This original sin is called "If you don't want to be Jordan, you're such a fool."

Everyone used Jordan's standards to demand him, and it turned out that he was far from Jordan. He's not a crazy triumphalist, he's the kind of guy who's going to go to his graduation speech on the day of Game 7, he's not yet responsible and killer instincts, so he's going to pass in the life-or-death rounds of the season, he's not tough enough to hide from minor injuries until heals - look at what Jordan did in 1986, he came back with a fracture injury that wasn't 100% recovered, led the Bulls to 30 wins and advanced to the playoffs, and look at you, Vince Carter, what a shit!

Overall, Yu Fei expressed regret and regret for Carter's experience.

When Carter was welcomed for his dunk on the road, Yu Fei quipped: "Our fans like you too." ”

Carter said self-deprecatingly: "Except for Toronto, the fans everywhere else like me. ”

It's a bit heart-wrenching, but it's also true.

Torontoon's excessively high expectations of Carter, as well as the idea that "this person can be Jordan but doesn't want to be Jordan" instilled by the Fourth Legion, made Raptors fans hate out of love.

The game itself was no suspense, and after four quarters, the Bucks won easily.

It was their final regular season game of the season.

Yu Fei only played 24 minutes, got 16 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists and left work.

Carter played 34 minutes and scored 25 points without making any difference.

"I'll remember those cheers." Carter said, "I know I'm here for this!" ”

As for Yu Fei, he smiled: "It feels great to play against Celtic in the first round. ”

"Is it because of Bill Simmons?"

Yu Fei asked, "Who is Bill Simmons?" ”

Of course, this is another joke of his, even if he forgets that Paul Pearce was almost stabbed to death, forgets that the Celtics optimized Antoine Walker to Ricky Davis, forgets that they played small tricks to lower their draft pick before their own draft, and he doesn't forget Bill Simmons.

After tonight, the regular season ends and the season enters its second phase.

The Bucks have Yu Fei's second season and enter the playoffs with a 59-23 record as the league's No. 1 record.

This season, due to the Bucks' extensive injuries, this gave Yu Fei the opportunity to go all out, and his average points per game were close to 34 points at one point.

After that, the injured returned, and Yu Fei's shots gradually declined, but he ensured at least 30 points per game through scoring efficiency, and finally stabilized his average data at 32.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game at the end of the season.

This gave Yu Fei the first scoring title of his career.

Regarding the scoring champion, Yu Fei is not so rare, but Reebok has spent a lot of money to hype.

Because although Yu Fei doesn't want to define himself simply as a scorer, the customer group for sneaker manufacturers likes to score very much.

It is better to tell them how versatile Yu Fei is, than to tell them directly that Yu Fei is also very good at scoring.

Yu Fei doesn't care about this kind of thing, the people on Reebok's side look at the problem very abstractly, and they even wish they would only play in Milwaukee for three years - meaning they will leave at the end of their rookie contract? Is there a 0.1% chance that the Bucks won't renew their contract or match an outside offer?

17 April 2004

The Bucks kick off the opening game of their first-round playoff series against the Celtics.

From the beginning of the game, Yu Fei played with a personal grudge against the Celtics.

A strong block to Pierce, a breakaway dunk in positional battles, and a provocative celebration to the camera after shaking down Ricky Davis' three-pointer.

"Frye is a beast tonight!"

"Who is the one who awakens the beast?"

Not many people know the answer, but not all questions need answers.

Yu Fei was very wild tonight, the game was very good, the Celtics will not have a good time in this series, and these three points alone are enough to make fans happy.

The Celtics were beaten from head to end, losing by 24 points.

Yu Fei chipped in 41 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and didn't say a word about Bill Simmons-related questions after the game, nor did he say anything about his opinion of the Celtics, but just gave a piece of advice to Green Kai's general manager Anji from the bottom of his heart: "Ricky is really a good defender, without him, I would have scored 100 points tonight." Celtic should sign him to a 20-year extension. ”

(1) There may be iron-blooded Jammy correcting that the Cavaliers are 35 wins this season, and I explain that in reality, the Cavaliers are 2-2 against the Bucks this year, and the world line is 0-4, so it's 33 wins.
