The first round of the NBA playoffs in 2006 was as intense as last year, and the Lakers vs. Suns battled it out to be a classic series.

That's because the two sides brought five entertaining games, with two more games destined to make their way onto ESPN's "NBA Classics" channel. It was the combination of two extraordinary players (Kobe/Nash) and three impressive hero shots (Kobe G4's double and Tim Thomas' G6's three-pointer) that made for the most spectacular first-round series in recent time.

However, Yu Fei and the Bucks don't care how the Suns and Lakers hit the Earth on Mars in the first round, and their only concern is the outcome of the game between the Cavaliers, who are fourth in the East, and the Wizards, who are fifth in the East.

Although the Cavaliers are ranked higher, before the game, it was thought that the Wizards were more likely to advance to the semifinals because James was too young.

Even Yu Fei in his rookie season stopped in the first round, can James go further?

This is a publicity stunt by the James camp, and they naturally know that Yu Fei at the same time is chasing his second championship, but the smart marketing team will always find a needle.

If you can't compare the same period, let's compare the "results achieved in the playoffs for the first time", so that the two will not return to the same starting line?

The first-round matchup between the Cavaliers and the Wizards lacked one thing — defense.

You know, this is the East, as a mid-table team in the Eastern Conference playoffs, if they don't fight defense, they won't have much advantage against the Western teams of the same level.

But both sides just don't fight defense, especially the Wizards, who think they can win with experience, which just gives James, who lacks defensive experience and skills, a chance to explode.

The drama of the series began with the third game.

The Cavaliers and the Wizards played to the final moments, and James went down to earth, dribbled to the basket, and took four steps after receiving the ball to complete the layup.

The Wizards players were dumbfounded and shouted to the referee for James to walk for a violation, but it didn't blow the ball, and the Cavaliers won the third game.

It can be said that this is the first big black spot that James has created for himself since he entered the league, and the spread of this black spot is still popular until more than ten years later.

In this regard, Yu Fei smiled and didn't speak, isn't it just a lore, what's this? As long as Jr. Jan is divine, the walking lore can also be marketed as God's feet, just like Jordan's shot of the century, isn't Maradona's Hand of God also a handball after all?

As long as the voice is loud enough, bad things can be said to be good.

This is Yu Fei's heart to the little brother, but there are always some bad people who like to make things bigger.

Especially those who don't want James to be close to Fei from the bottom of their hearts, they are a community of interests, and they can't help it when they see that the alliance is blatantly creating a shady curtain in order to praise the young emperor.

Damn, it's Da Fei's old boss, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, such a black person, even if Da Fei can bear it, they can't bear it.

Some well-known Reebok media outlets began to give the league intensity, put pressure on James, and hyped up the move.

The most influential articles were written from the victims' local areas.

The Washington Post didn't say it on the surface, but when it wrote the report, it ended with the sentence: "If a player like LeBron James can legally make a four-step layup, what can you do to stop him?" Is this proof of the NBA's full WWE? ”

James, who had no distractions, was suddenly put under a wave of pressure.

The people around him saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts.

"These damn media!" Randy Miems scolded, "I used to please Bronn like Bichi, but now I'm clinging to that little thing like a dog!" Do they really care if the lore violates the rules or not? They're just trying to attract attention! ”

Rich Paul said to James: "I checked the details of those media, and nine times out of ten they are all involved with Reebok. ”

"What do you mean," Miemus developed an instinct.

If anything bad happens to James, it must have something to do with Da Fei.

"It doesn't have to be a big fly," Paul said, "and it's not a day or two since Reebok splashed dirty water on LeBron." ”

Sure that it was Reebok who was behind the trouble, Mims naturally beat Yu Feibiao wolf: "Whether it is Da Fei or not, he can't get out of the relationship!" ”

James, like Paul, is not diode thinking.

He won't equate them with Yu Fei just because it is Reebok behind his back.

"Randy, your reaction was too intense." James said sensibly, "If something happens to Fry, Nike will not be able to add fuel to the fire, this has happened more than once, do you think Frye blames me for this?" At the end of the day, it's all business. ”

Meems will not empathize like James, he is Zhan's standard thinking, and he has to respond to anything that is unfavorable to Zhan, hearing this, he does not feel "reasonable", but follows the topic of "it's all business" and says: "Since it's business, why is it always Frye who wins?" Bron, have you ever thought that you are also part of the business in the eyes of Frye? ”

Why is it always Frye who wins?

Don't you all know the answer?

James looked at Miems in silence, he knew it was true, but he didn't want to think about it because he was still catching up, he was just behind, not inferior, and that's what he thought.

But Miems's words forced him to face the problem head-on.

"Because Frye came into the league two years earlier and he had better teams, he always wins." Paul wittily said, "Randy, is there anything you don't know about this matter now?" ”

Meems didn't think about it at all, and after being tilted by Paul like this, he went back to his original track: "yes, he has an unfair competitive advantage, so he always wins." ”

James stopped answering.

A day later, Yu Fei's Bucks swept past the Pacers, who eliminated them last year, while James tasted the bitter fruit of a four-move win over the Wizards on the road.

Things are getting bigger, and the league naturally has to compensate the Wizards.

That night, the Wizards made 40 free throws at home to win 106-96 over the Cavaliers.

Then, the angry Washington media found an opportunity to fight back, asking James questions about the controversial third game.

"LeBron, you finished the game with a four-step layup in the final minute of Game 3, is there anything you want to say about that?"

"It's not a walk." James explained, "I've been doing these layups all the time, and I've been doing that since I was a kid. ”

"But it's a violation."

"No, it's not." Maybe it was a rush, maybe it was a rhetoric that was prepared early, James's next answer was timeless and classic. "I did the crab dribble, which is a stall dribble and a two-step movement."

Yes?

Yes??

Yes???

Even if you're not there, you can feel the impact of that basketball view being shattered.

James further said: "It's a move that is not common in this league, but I use it a lot myself. Everyone has their own signature moves, and that's one of mine. It looks like a walk, a bit against common sense because of the slow movement, but it's legal and as fluid as other layups in this league. I don't know why it's so controversial, but I think they need to take a closer look and understand that it's not a step. ”

Finally, he stressed: "It's a perfectly legal action and it's something I've been doing. ”

"'Crab step dribbling' is when you, well, take a few extra steps." Arenas commented. "It's the hottest thing right now...... I couldn't do it at AAU, I couldn't do it at university, and obviously I can't do it now. ”

When Yu Fei heard Xiao Zhan say this, he was a little suspicious that some bad people with ulterior motives were ruining his little brother's reputation.

But by the time he finished the interview, he was silent.

It's amazing, you know?

Just like Ji Xianlin's diary circulating on the Internet was confirmed to be really written by Ji Xianlin.

In any case, James got through this hurdle in the most programmatic way.

Then, the Cavaliers won the fifth game and came to the sixth.

With the last dozen seconds, the Wizards led by one point, and Arenas had two free throws.

Everyone knows that Arenas is a great free thrower, and if he is allowed to walk to the free throw line without distraction, the Cavaliers will be home for Game 7. Then, James showed an extraordinary side, and he knew how to distract Arenas.

James walked up to Arenas and said, "If you don't score, you know who's going to make the last shot." ”

Few people know that Arenas and James have a good personal relationship. James often took Damon Jones and Arenas to play cards together, and Jones owed Arenas a lot of money. At this moment, James reminded Arenas of the game and Jones' gambling debt with the threat that "Damon Jones could hit the last shot".

Then, in an unusual way, he missed the first goal, followed by the second, and finally Arenas suddenly remembered that Damon Jones didn't play at all tonight, how could he possibly score the winning goal?

Restlessness began to appear on the pitch.

After a timeout, the Wizards found out that the Cavaliers were replaced by Damon Jones. Then, James gets the ball and gets trapped, and he passes it to his teammate, who in turn passes it to Jones, who makes a jumper.

"Damon Jones!" Brin said, the ball flying through the air. "Hit!"

Arenas anxiously pushed the ball forward and passed it to a teammate who threw a last-second layaway shot in desperation, but the ball missed and the game ended as the buzzer sounded.

This is the end of the Wizards' season, and as a stepping stone to the next level for the Kings, they allowed James to reap his own black spots and highlights in the first series of his career.

Until the end, Arenas was still thinking about his gambling debts.

Mike Brin exclaimed: "Damon Jones, who didn't play the whole game, but shot the winning shot in the last ten seconds, it's incredible!" ”

The Cavaliers made it past the first round and made it to the much-anticipated second round.

Here, the bucks have been waiting for a long time.

Yu Fei vs. James, the first playoff matchup between the two heroes of the new generation.

Highly anticipated and attracting worldwide attention.

James had just tasted the taste of victory, and before he could chew slowly, he was stolen by a piece of news that had been previewed for months.

"Frye Yu won the third MVP trophy of his career by a landslide." - ESPN NBA headlines
