Pat Riley hasn't forgotten his excitement when he traded for O'Neal from the Lakers.

It was a major win for the Heat at the time, as they got the league's best player with just Lamar Odom and Caron Butler plus draft picks.

It's not Riley's blind confidence in O'Neal, basketball pundits at the time felt that the environment in Los Angeles was a disgrace for the Sharks, and if he were to go to a new environment, the Lakers' choice of Kobe Bryant over his shame would motivate him to be as angry as he was before the championship.

As a result, O'Neal's form has improved compared to the Lakers, but it is very limited, and after one season, it is known that he is no longer the "most dominant force in history".

Fortunately, Wade's rise made up for the gap brought by O'Neal.

Prior to tonight, Riley had always felt that O'Neal was the main choice for the league's No. 1 center, if not the league's best.

That may be true, but Riley didn't expect O'Neal to be a glaring flaw on their court.

After Yu Fei hit a three-pointer on O'Neal's head, O'Neal's public execution entered a new phase.

Mutombo fouled O'Neal, and the Bucks put Horry at the No. 5 position, and then let Granger appear as the No. 4 position, so that no matter if Yu Fei wants to play a 1-4 block or a 1-5 block, the blocker has the ability to shoot three points from the outside.

As long as he comes to the defensive end, O'Neal is like a springy female dog, surrounded by a group of male dogs, all of whom have bad intentions against him.

Horry hit a three-pointer, Granger also hit a three-pointer, the Heat had James Posey on the outside and O'Neal wanted the ball to vent his anger, but was fouled by Granger.

O'Neal missed both free throws, and Granger took the defensive rebound and gave it to Yu Fei.

In less than five seconds, Yu Fei chased three points in the front court.

Riley didn't even look at it, walked towards the tech desk, yelling, "I'm going to pause!" ”

What happens after the pause? The Heat don't have a plan.

Riley just called a timeout based on experience, then looked at Assistant Coach Spo, "Erik, do you have any suggestions?" ”

"Frye used a similar style of play to beat Ben Wallace in DPOYA, so it was almost impossible for us to find a solution on the defensive end," Spo said. ”

Eric Spoelstra is not a gifted coach in the traditional sense of the word, and he lacks the groundbreaking thinking that Riley admires, but that still doesn't stop him from seeing the Filipino-American as his successor.

He's going to be even better than Jeff Van Gundy.

Because he's an all-knowing, basketball expert.

If he says Frye's problems are unsolvable on the defensive end, then Riley will only think about things on the offensive end.

The best way to respond on the offensive end is to get Wade back on the court.

That's also Riley's choice.

Since last season, Wade has been on fire, and the Heat have tended to be more aggressive, and this season is even more so.

Moreover, they were also led by Wade in the first quarter to tie with the Bucks.

So, Wade, who Yu Fei was thinking about, returned to the court.

But the mess O'Neal brought to Wade was really big enough.

Less than five minutes later, the Heat went from trailing by one point to trailing by 14 points.

To reverse that decline, Wade will need to play better than he did in the first quarter.

The Bucks, on the other hand, have also changed their lineup.

George Karl predicted that Riley would come on in for Wade. Yu Fei said before that he would have a fair fight with Wade, so Karl only kept Horry on the inside, and Granger was replaced by Udonis Haslem.

Haslem wore a Bucks jersey on the court, especially against the Heat, and this scene had a strong sense of awkwardness no matter how you look at it.

However, this feeling belongs to Yu Fei alone, and only he knows what he has done.

After Wade came on, the pressure on O'Neal was clearly released.

The team no longer relies on his inside singles, even if the defensive end is called up, and the offensive end is unable to ask for a lot of balls due to the "shark slashing tactic", there is Wade to support the bottom.

From a technical point of view, Wade is already a perfect ball-handler under the existing rules, except for long-range shots.

One-on-one heads-up, he can eat anyone who is a buck raw.

However, for a team that is 14 points behind, the three-point ability of the main player is also a key point.

Wade's first shot was his signature lost step, and he scored against the help defense.

Yu Fei couldn't wait to continue the duel with Wade, called a 1-2 block after halftime, dribbled under his hip continuously, shook left and right, and retreated to outside the three-point line to hit his third three-pointer of the night.

Wade's score not only did not narrow the score, but was expanded to 15 points by Yu Fei's counterattack.

Subsequently, the Bucks' combined defense allowed Wade's breakthrough to pass the ball.

From the outside, Payton missed a three-point shot.

The Heat's pursuit of points was interrupted by this, and the Bucks' fast break unfolded in an orderly manner under the control of Fly.

Even though the Heat had three people retreat to the backcourt, they couldn't organize an effective defense on the spot, because Yu Fei's attraction was too great, and the attention of the Heat players in the backcourt was almost all on him.

Yu Fei only needs to go deep into the penalty area to compress their defense into a tight area and then pass the ball.

It was Ariza who enjoyed the fast-break bonus, and with Yu Fei attracting firepower in front of him, he was able to do things just after receiving the ball, once again showing amazing physical fitness, and finishing the counterattack with a violent dunk.

"Dwyan, go on." Yu Fei said defiantly, "Attack like in the first quarter, let me see how far you can go." ”

Somehow, Yu Fei's interest in Wade suddenly surpassed O'Neill's.

From Wade's point of view, it was as if he had drawn O'Neal's hatred to himself, but he didn't know what he had done to make Da Fei angry.

"Don't mind, Dwayne." O'Neill, who suddenly became relaxed, put on the appearance of a big brother, "That person is an unreasonable mad dog." ”

With Wade attracting firepower, O'Neill returned to normal.

Suddenly, O'Neal received the ball, Haslem stepped forward to wrap it up, and the prepared Shark hit the ground to Walker from close range, who scored with a strong basket.

This is the comfortable rhythm of the Heat, with Wade on the outside eating opponents alone, and O'Neal on the inside can attract firepower to create opportunities for teammates.

Normally, this is the Heat's favorite way to play.

If they don't trail by 13 points now, the situation is definitely favourable.

However, when you are 13 points behind, it is different.

Especially when encountering a team like the Bucks, which plays at the pace of the game in the small-ball era, falling behind by double digits and then relying on the gravitational pull of the core to score 2 points stably in the positional battle, this does not quench the thirst.

Because the Bucks who are in the groove are always looking for 3 points in a round.

"Dwayne, why don't you attack?" Yu Fei asked mockingly, "You shouldn't expect that pig, right?" ”

Wade didn't know how to answer.

Then, Yu Fei called 1-5 again to block and dismantle, and named O'Neill again.

This time, Wade and O'Neal were caught in the air at the same time, which was a risky move, as the Bucks' No. 5 spot was Robert Horry, the league's most prestigious role player with a big heart.

As a result, Yu Fei swayed from side to side like a dragon under the two-man bag with his amazing operation and control skills, and finally used O'Neal's bulky body as a legal mobile block, accelerating to the left - that was O'Neal's defensive strong side.

O'Neal couldn't react, and he couldn't help Wade delay Yu Fei, and in the end, he accidentally stuck Wade with his body.

Yu Fei's good show made the Bradley Center boil, and this is not the end. The moment Wade was blocked by his teammates, Yu Fei stepped on the tip of the three-point line at the top of the arc with his right foot and retreated a large amount to a distance of one meter outside the three-point line, and then a golden rooster with a little back-tilted independent three-point shot flew out to meet Wade and O'Neal's faces.

"Bang!"

It's a three-point shot!

“！ ￥！ @#￥”

There's nothing on the basketball court that thrills fans more than the moment when a superstar shines.

The sound of the "MVP" of the tsunami in Bradley Center made Yu Fei's body seem to flow with the brilliance of a god, and every Bucks fan who was lucky enough to watch him play will never forget this night.

Frye Yu is one against two, easy and freehand, like bullying high school students, playing the top domestic and foreign star combinations in the East.

"Dwayne, I like what Kwame said, those who follow dogs will only eat, and those who follow wolves will eat meat." Yu Fei looked at Wade indifferently, "I was surprised by your choice, you actually decided to partner with a pig, do you know what happens to each pig?" ”

"It's simple." Yu Fei said coldly, "Eaten by someone like me." ”

"Shut the for me! I'll kill you! O'Neill, who had lost his mind, couldn't stand the humiliation, and he roared with red eyes. I don't want to hear any from your stinky mouth anymore @#¥"

O'Neill was unsurprisingly evicted.

This goal indirectly led to O'Neill's ejection, which became the decisive moment of the whole game.

Since then, all the Heat have done is to narrow the margin, not turn it into a win.

Nowhere was this more evident than what Wade said to Fei at halftime: "Fry, you're a little too serious, I'm me, Shaq is Shaq, I don't agree with what he said, I can't decide who goes and who stays, I just treat everyone equally." ”

"Oh, then we're not in a different situation." This form of Yu Fei was something Wade had never seen before. "I will only treat people like pigs and dogs, and not everyone's character is worthy of being treated by human standards."

Wade gradually understood the change in the way Yu Fei treated him.

Just because he and O'Neill work together, Yu Fei wants to suppress him together, what an outrageous revenge?

Yu Fei walked away, and Wade could only turn around.

Then, there was little suspense in the second half.

In O'Neal's absence, the Heat's interior line has lost its strong point, and although Wade has played very well, the point difference is too great, and the Heat is not a team that can be explosively scored in a short period of time through three-point rain.

The Bucks held a 15-point lead until the end of the game: 114-98, when the Bucks beat the Heat at home, and the Bucks snapped back-to-back kills against potential championship rivals in the East and West.

Post-match interview

Shaquille O'Neal complained about Yu Fei's degrading behavior during the game: "This person shouldn't stay in the league!" He shouldn't be an MVP, and he shouldn't be a role model for kids like a good gentleman! He should be banned permanently! ”

Sadly, O'Neill's accusation of flying is widely understood as a wail of impotence.

"I do disrespect him." Yu Fei said, "But why should I respect him? He's a bastard who makes blatantly racist remarks about all Asian Americans, so why do you guys act like he's a victim? Everything that happened to him was deserved, and all the people who complained about this dog mongrel were either idiots or racists. ”

That's where Yu Fei is impeccable, he always brings it up when people are about to forget O'Neill's racist remarks, thus showing the justice of his revenge and making it even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The reporters felt that Fei was sensitive to O'Neill's issue, so they wanted to ask some other questions to ease the atmosphere.

"As a Bucks player playing for Milwaukee, why did you become an anti-DUI ambassador, and what's the story?"

Yu Fei is already a mature star, and he has a face that can be switched at any time: "My mother lives, strictly speaking, it is my third hometown and the starting point of my career, and I have a home there, so this happened naturally." ”

"As the NBA's only anti-DUI ambassador, what do you think of this mission?"

"I think that's the basic measure of whether a person is self-respecting and self-loving." "If you're drunk, you shouldn't do anything, especially driving, because it will not only hurt you, but it will also bring mortal danger to innocent passers-by," Yu said. ”

What a standard official language, it can be said that it is not leaky.

O'Neal's questions couldn't be asked, and the Bucks' big win over the Heat didn't have much to talk about, so reporters had to turn to the future.

Soon after, the Bucks will play the Cavaliers at home for a rematch of the season.

"Are you looking forward to playing LeBron James again at the Christmas game?"

"To tell you the truth, it's the one game I'm looking forward to the rest of 2005." Yu Fei smiled, "You know, LeBron is my little brother."
