Yu Fei's hand on the knight is not heavy, at least not as heavy as his hand on the heat before.

Because Wade had a clear intention of challenging himself at that time, and James only vaguely wanted to show himself, after a few rounds, Yu Fei seized the opportunity to play a better performance.

After that, the first timeout of the night came when the Bucks changed lineups, with George Karl replacing Kevin Martin and Kwame Brown for Ratriel Sprewell and Deacembe Mutombo.

As a result, the Bucks' worst defender on the court has become Danny Granger, who plays the small ball No. 4 position.

For the Cavaliers, Mutombo's replacement of Brown was a significant adjustment that affected the situation.

Because James was still young at this time, he was not the kind of person who could still score 25 points per game 20 years later with experience, unrefined skills and robotic body.

Now, if he wants to break the blockade of Mutombo's basket protection, there are only two ways, the long-range pitcher feels open, or the big Z and others are suddenly possessed by something, and they become big shooters who can stably hit medium and long-range shots.

If you don't have a long-range pitcher and no teammates to support you, it gets tough.

"Frye has too many helpers......!"

James' full-time assistant Meems complained, "The Cleveland guys are helping Bronn so little!" ”

It's a good excuse, but it's not enough.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks went into the second quarter with a score of 27-21.

Looking at the data alone, Yu Fei and James are on par.

The difference is that Yu Fei played eight minutes and rotated normally, while James played the full first quarter.

This is not a staggered peak, after all, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, if the Cavaliers don't let James play more, by flying a few minutes to chase points, the point difference will be even greater.

This is a manifestation of James' sense of responsibility as a leader.

The more this happens, the more his friends complain about the Cavaliers.

At this time, Yu Fei's encounter with the Bucks has become a point that they can resonate with: "Bron, we really need to be cautious about renewing our contract with Cleveland!" Look at Frye, the Bucks were in jeopardy a year ago, and then he signed that damn short contract, and you see! His damn politician boss was willing to spend his money, and they spent everything they could, helping Frye build another championship team! ”

Due to the poor environment in Milwaukee and the notoriously poor heating facilities at Bradley Center, Dan Gilbert, who has been very enthusiastic about getting involved in the team's affairs since becoming the owner of the Cavaliers, did not travel with the team tonight.

It's true that the Bucks spent money in the summer, and the Cavaliers also spent money, if it weren't for his generosity, Big Z would have run away a long time ago, and now the depth of the Cavaliers lineup is not as good as the Bucks, that is also a good draft selection, and Yu Fei's ability to lead rookies is strong, who can blame this?

Blame LeBron? I can't blame it, but of course I blame the blinded former Cavaliers executives and the high-paid and incompetent former Cavaliers coaches.

Gilbert has let the waste snacks of the corpse meal get rid of it, and the new era of knighthood begins this summer.

However, Gilbert was not present, so Meems was free to express his opinion.

When he talked about the sensitive point — LeBron's contract extension — the Cavaliers players off the court all looked sideways.

This season is James' third season, and back this summer, the Cavaliers have offered him a five-year, $80 million contract extension.

As long as James signs, the Cavaliers can have the new generation of rulers until the summer of 2012.

Just like Reebok behind Yu Fei wants him to leave Milwaukee, why doesn't Nike want James to leave Croatia?

In terms of commercial value, neither of these places is the land of Wang Xing.

James prudently postponed contract extension talks.

On the surface, they wanted to take another look, but in fact, they were concerned about the consequences of Yu Fei's short contract.

Yu Fei used a short contract to make himself a villain, and for a while, his reputation was infamous, and the backlash from conservatives and the unanimous criticism of the media made all young players have to weigh whether they can resist such negative public opinion.

James is still Mr. Perfect in the eyes of the media, and although there is a mother who is pulling his feet off the court, the overall impact of this incident on him is minimal.

Therefore, asking for a 2+1 short-term contract like Yu Fei may lead to the collapse of public opinion for him, and unless he is completely sure, he hopes to adopt an unhurried medium-term strategy.

Therefore, in response to the complaint of Meems, who is also an assistant, he said in a good way: "Be patient, Randy, the team has done well this year." ”

"Yes yes, yes, but not enough." Meemus said, "Look at Frye......"

"That's it!" James interrupted him with a smile, "Have you ever counted how many words Frye has to say in a day?" I think you're about to fall in love with him. ”

Hearing this, Mims glanced at Sava who was chatting with Yu Fei in a weird way, "Hmph, what's this, who doesn't love Fry?" ”

James laughed off, and Miems often came across as shallow, but he knew that the other side was all about his own interests.

He only needed to tell which of Mims's words were right and which were angry.

In the second quarter, the Cavaliers eased up.

Although Mutombo restrained them, the African mountains were so old that he could only maintain 15-20 minutes of stamina, even in the regular season when the intensity was not high.

And to block James, he's going to have to push himself into playoff mode, which is more costly.

In the end, the Bucks played only 15 minutes, but with 4 points, 3 rebounds and 4 blocks, they won a plus/minus of 17+.

That said, in Mutombo's limited playing time, the Bucks outscored the Cavaliers by 17 points.

With the Cavaliers' relatively barren offensive talent, falling behind by so many points basically announced the outcome of the game.

It's just that James hasn't given up yet, so the Cavaliers won't give up for a while.

Ironically, as long as James doesn't give up, Yu Fei won't give up the game either.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by 15 points, and the trend of the game could no longer change, but Yu Fei still attacked fiercely, called for blocking, and made a three-point stop on the outside, cutting his 40th personal score tonight.

On the other hand, James currently has 31 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and he also responded to Yu Fei with a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

The margin remained unchanged, James scored 34 points, and the Cavaliers called a timeout four minutes before the end of the game.

Mike Brown looked at the ambitious James and knew how much the young superstar valued tonight's game.

Because he takes it very seriously, the reality that this game has been garbage time from the fourth quarter is hard to accept.

"LeBron, rest."

Mike Brown, who is not yet 36 years old, can be called young and promising, and he comes from the Spurs Department of the Whampoa Military Academy in the NBA coaching world, which can be said to be young and promising, but since James forcibly regained the ball at the beginning of the season, he has also changed from a young coach who is determined to make a difference to a nanny who is obedient to the stars.

If James insists on playing the final four minutes, Brown is powerless to stop it.

"Mike, what else do you think I can do?" "I've done my best, but the gap can't be closed." ”

Brown reassured: "You're already on par with Frye, it's not a gap between the two of you, you have to understand that this is a game between our Cavaliers and the Bucks, and it's reflected on the scoreboard that it's the real gap between our two teams." ”

As a coach, Brown admits that he can't teach James more, but he will also make different flavors of chicken soup for the soul, which Bao Shaodi is satisfied with.

James was moved.

"We should be realistic, LeBron." "The Bucks have won two championships in the last three years and made it to the Eastern Conference Finals three times in a row, and we at the Cavaliers are a team looking to get back into the playoffs," Brown said. It's a world of difference between us, but because of you, people are starting to believe that we have a chance to catch up with the bucks. LeBron, you have a promising future. ”

This mouthful of chicken soup, the little emperor drank it full, and finally chose to rest, officially letting this game enter garbage time.

Seeing that Xiao Zhan was resting, Yu Fei also twisted his neck, leaving 40 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists to leave the game.

The final four minutes were still a fascinating moment for the Bucks' garbage lineup, and they especially like to slash and pick at times like this, extending the already widening point difference.

In the end, 119-100, the Bucks defeated the Cavaliers by 19 points, winning the second straight victory against their opponents while ensuring that every Milwaukee fan can have a happy Christmas season.

Post-match interview

"From 1 to 10, how would you rate your performance tonight?"

"Seven points."

"What about LeBron?"

"Ten points."

The reporters were surprised by this answer, because Yu Fei basically achieved a full encirclement of James's data, and he gave himself a score of 7 and James a score of 10.

"What's your scoring criteria?"

"You know, LeBron is my little brother," Yu Fei said with a smile, "as long as he performs better every time he meets me than the last time, I will give him full marks." As for myself, I have another set of standards. ”

"The Cavaliers players think LeBron's performance against the best in the league is enough to prove that he deserves the expectations of the outside world, and in your opinion, is LeBron's performance up to that standard?"

Yu Fei said lightly: "I don't care about other people's opinions, if this kind of voice really exists within the Cavaliers, then I may say something nitpicking, LeBron should have a higher standard for himself." ”

On this night, Yu Fei's body was full of victors, talking about James and the Cavaliers like elders.

However, his words are irrefutable.

Because he has shown in two consecutive games that he still surrounds LeBron James in all aspects, no matter how you look at it.

Besides, he just wants LeBron to get better, is that blamed?

As for whether James will fall into "Frye Hell" again because of this, it is not something that his big brother should consider.

After all, his team has never tied up Xiao Zhan to hype together, everything has a cause and effect, the cause and effect of the chosen son, if you dare to mess with it, you will have to bear the corresponding price.

This long staircase to ascend to the gods is not so easy to walk.
