No one doubted Ray Allen's loyalty to Milwaukee, and as a result, the Bucks were straightforward in offering him a salary cap.

In mid-November, the Bucks offered Ray Allen a five-year, $80 million contract extension.

Larry Harris thinks the same thing as the outside world, and he thinks Ray Allen will happily sign a contract extension.

As a result, Ray Allen not only did not sign his contract, but also put on hold renewal talks on the grounds that "I need more time to think about my future".

This is very reminiscent of Yu Fei's way of shelving negotiations.

Yu Fei's request was that Sprewell renew his contract, and he would renew the contract.

But is anyone really worried that Yu Fei won't renew his contract with the Bucks?

In fact, in the matter of renewing the contract, Yu Fei has no initiative. Because even if he doesn't complete a contract extension during the season and waits until the summer to test the waters of free agency, he is still a restricted free agent. Even if another team gives him a contract, the Bucks can still match him unconditionally.

Yu Fei's approach can be seen as a young leader testing how much voice he has in the team.

The Bucks management really did what Yu Fei wanted, and first negotiated a contract extension with Sprewell, also taking this level into account, and they didn't want to have trouble with Yu Fei because of this matter.

But Ray Allen's sudden arrival was unexpected.

"Need more time to think about the future"? Could it be that his future is not in Milwaukee?

Before public opinion rose up, the local media in Milwaukee couldn't sit still.

The media, dominated by the Milwaukee Sentinel, began to make unfriendly comments about Ray Allen, speculating about the latter's intentions.

In the end, they came to a conclusion.

Ray Allen is trying to compete for the leadership position, and he wants to repeat the farce of OK in Milwaukee.

This is something they cannot tolerate.

The development of events caused consternation within the Bucks, they didn't think that Ray Allen had such a meaning, why did the media think of it?

"That's what they give me in return!" When the Sentinel questioned Ray Allen's loyalty to Milwaukee in a headline article, Ray Allen said coldly with the day's newspaper in the locker room.

"I've been here for eight years! That's how they see me! Ray Allen said emotionally, "Why? Why do they feel like I can't think about myself? Why does everyone think of me like that? ”

Yu Fei asked playfully: "What do you think of you, like me?" ”

Ray Allen saw nothing on Yu Fei's face.

This is their third season together, but Ray Allen doesn't think he has any personal relationship with Yu Fei.

They don't call each other to say hello, and they don't give each other gifts on holidays.

They are a pure colleague relationship, Yu Fei is like the leader of their group, very majestic, but he is always very indifferent to himself, even if he is in this unbearable negative public opinion situation, he does not see a trace of concern on the other party's face.

Does the media see me like that?

Ray Allen sneered in his heart, it would be nice if they were really like Yu Fei.

As long as he doesn't talk nonsense, Yu Fei won't care about himself, but the media will question his intentions because of one of his temporary decisions.

"If they're really like you, that's a good thing for me." Ray Allen said hatefully, "But that's not the case! ”

Yu Fei doesn't know what he looks like in the eyes of Ray Allen, but if Ray Allen's matter affects the team, then he needs to care.

"As soon as you sign the contract, they'll shut up."

Ray Allen said proudly, "I haven't decided yet. ”

"What, want to change the environment?"

Yu Fei's rhetorical question made the atmosphere in the locker room plummet.

Is it really a good time to ask such a sensitive question?

Ray Allen has never considered leaving, and the reason why he is not signing a contract extension now is to see how management will handle Sprewell's contract extension.

But he didn't want the management to feel that he wanted to expand his influence to the extent that he influenced the team's signings like Yu Fei.

So he said he hadn't decided yet.

In fact, he never had one choice.

"Negotiations haven't started yet, Spree hasn't renewed, Deacon Bay hasn't renewed, Chris hasn't renewed." Ray Allen said, "And you want me to renew my contract now?" Don't! ”

Yu Fei smiled: "So that's what you care about?" Well, I know what you're thinking, you see, wouldn't it be good to make it clear? ”

Then, Sprewell suddenly interjected: "What if they don't renew my contract with me?" ”

I can't help that, I'm sure you'll have a bright future, but I'm going to spend my entire career in Milwaukee.

That's what Ray Allen was saying.

Ray Allen felt a little guilty when he realized that such thoughts were a bit wrong to Spreway.

Sometimes it's just a thought that determines a person's position.

A second ago, Yu Fei was still talking and laughing with Ray Allen, and when he heard Sprewell's words, the smile quickly disappeared from his face.

In place of the smile was an unmistakable positive color, and he looked at Sprewell and said clearly, "Spree, they will renew your contract." ”

The Bucks' top management seems to be determined not to give Sprewell a big contract pension, and even if there is a platform for Yu Fei, there are still many variables in the contract extension.

For management, signing a predictable junk premium contract would be a career stain.

They would rather create internal contradictions to get Sprewell out than give in.

In order to do this, they can do whatever it takes.

How can Yu Fei guarantee that Sprewell will get a satisfactory contract extension?

Teammates looked at Yu Fei, the young superstar who had already made a huge difference in Milwaukee.

Whether it's the attention of the outside world, the market value of the team, or the attractiveness of sponsors, with Fry, anything is possible.

Once a player's influence reaches this point, he can change beyond the team level.

That's how people looked up to Michael Jordan in the 90s.

And that's the kind of thing that can only happen if a small team like the Bucks is lucky enough to have such a Uranus who doesn't seem to belong to them.

If Yu Fei wants it, he will get it.

This thrilled Sprewell, who never thought he would be convinced of a young man under the age of 22, but in Milwaukee, it happened.

Moreover, he did not feel ashamed at all.

If Yu Fei really helped him sign a big pension contract, Sprewell thought to himself, maybe he would have to dedicate his soul to defend the glory of the other party in the last few years of his career.

Ray Allen didn't know how much energy Yu Fei's statement contained.

He was a little unimpressed, because he knew the team's owner, and Senator Kerr would not allow the team to spend tens of millions a year on an old man who was going downhill.

Then, Yu Fei turned to Ray Allen, "We're fine here, but you still need to do some work in the media." ”

Ray Allen reacted: "You want me to hold a press conference? ”

"That's right." Yu Fei said, "Tell them what you think, or make up a reason, in short, you have to have a clear attitude." ”

A day later, Ray Allen did just that.

But Yu Fei didn't expect a boomerang.

Yu Fei said that if Sprewell renewed his contract, he would renew the contract.

This inspired Ray Allen.

Speaking at a press conference, Ray Allen said: "If Frye renews his contract, I'll renew it, and that's what I've been thinking about. ”

It's just that it doesn't bother with how long to fly.

Because he has already made his attitude clear, everyone will pay more attention to Sprewell's contract extension.

After going around and around, the pressure is still back on the Bucks management.

A day later, the Bucks traveled to Indiana.

The Pacers are the most underrated team in the East and the only team in the East to win more and lose less against the Bucks.

This is because the Pacers' staffing has somewhat inhibited the Bucks.

There is O'Neal Jr. on the inside, and Artest on the outside, while blowing up the Bucks' inside, he can use Artest to harass Yu Fei on the periphery.

It's just that this year's Yu Fei has evolved in his offensive skills, and Artest wants to use the crazy body of the past to fight against the attack and disturb him, but it is ineffective.

That night, Yu Fei teased Artest many times, which eventually caused the other party to become angry and gave Ray Allen a malicious foul.

Artest ate a second-degree malicious foul and was ejected on the spot.

Ray Allen was lying innocently on the ground, he was just helping Yu Fei to make a block, who did he provoke?

Artest was beaten by Yu Fei until his mentality exploded, and the Pacers' balanced offensive and defensive posture was broken.

The Bucks rained three points from the outside and managed to close the game.

Due to Artest's second-degree malicious foul, he will be automatically suspended for the next game.

Yu Fei inadvertently brought an amazing butterfly effect to the walkers.

On a normal trajectory, two days later, Artest will follow the Pacers to Detroit for an away game, followed by the famous Auburn Hills Palace Brawl.

But now, Artest is suspended.

In the next game, the Pacers don't have Artest, so there may not be a brawl, no one lying on the edge of the technical table after the brawl being splashed with Coke by a fouled fan, and no Pacers player who has lost his mind will rush into the audience to hit a ten.

Two days later, nothing happened.

The Pacers relied on their good form since the start of the season to narrowly beat the Pistons on the road without Artest.

However, just because a mess is put to rest before it happens doesn't mean that the Auburn Hills Palace will really be at peace with its guests.

The security of the palace is still terrible, and the fans who are guilty of it are still cheap, and the team with the bad will no longer be the Pacers, but the Bucks who killed the Detroit Guys in the Eastern Conference Finals.

On November 27, the Milwaukee Bucks, who are ranked first in the East, visited Detroit.

They don't feel special about the Pistons, as they've shattered the dreams of countless teams over the past two years.

The piston is just one of them.

But Detroiters always remember how Yu Fei humiliated them in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Not only the Detroiters, but the Wallace brothers, Hamilton, and Billups also remembered, and they all felt that they needed to find shame on the Bucks.

Now, here comes the bucks.

A regular season doesn't mean much, but they can charge a little interest first.
