There is a basic consensus in the league that if the Bucks don't harvest this year and next, Yu Fei will definitely leave Milwaukee.

Ironically, when they established this consensus, Yu Fei himself did not know.

For Fei, he can't say that leaving Milwaukee is impossible, but he really has no idea of leaving now. To leave, you have to give him a reason.

A reason not to be denied.

But Yu Fei also understands that as his position changes, his position will be crucial for Reebok and other sponsors.

From a business perspective, Milwaukee is not a good place to build a personal empire.

It's college football that rules here, it's the Green Bay Packers, and it's the glory that Vince Lombardi (1) left behind a century and a half ago.

(1) Think of him as the NFL version of Auerbach (referring only to coaching).

A generation of geniuses like Yu Fei would have had a Michael Jordan-esque effect in other cities, but the Bucks, his main influence in Wisconsin was limited to Milwaukee, and even Milwaukee had more football fans than basketball fans.

So, when Yu Fei is faced with a choice, these factors will become a problem, especially for the people around him, which is a decisive factor.

However, hearing Riley's question, Yu Fei asked rhetorically: "Coach Riley, you might as well be more direct and ask me if I will join Miami next summer." ”

Riley asked expectantly, "Will you?" ”

"There's no way I'm going to work with that pig."

Yu Fei said directly.

"I'll send him to the Clippers."

Riley's answer was simply explosive.

"It's Dwayne's team."

"He's a smart guy and he's going to put himself in the right place."

Riley said beyond doubt.

Well, Yu Fei believes that Riley wants himself very much.

Yu Fei remembered that when he forced Jordan to trade himself, the strongest willingness to trade was the Heat. Only now he's glad the deal didn't go through.

While the Bucks only played two away games in the Eastern Conference Finals, Heat fans abandoned their team five minutes early in the home team's only loss.

The American Airlines arena lost one-third of its audience in a very short period of time.

He's not saying that garbage time can't leave early, but this is a playoff game, and it's a key battle related to the fate of the Heat season, with 5 minutes to go before the end of the game, although 15 points behind, but not completely desperate, right? But they just left.

This allowed the Heat to join Yu Fei's blacklist.

"I also want fans who don't abandon the team when they're in a desperate situation." Yu Fei asked, "Does Miami have one?" ”

Riley would never have imagined that undetermined fans would become an obstacle for Yu Fei to join Miami.

This made him smile self-deprecatingly: "Fry, I can give you whatever you want, but this one doesn't." ”

"Then I still prefer Milwaukee." Yu Fei said, "At least the fans here will die with us." ”

After Yu Fei finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Riley was not expecting a transfer to the Heat, but after talking, he had a feeling that he couldn't put it into words.

That feeling led him to believe that Milwaukee couldn't have the player for long.

Yu Fei came to the parking lot, and Kevin Lin and Lawson had been waiting for a long time.

"Da Fei, what's the arrangement tonight?" Lawson asked.

Yu Fei smiled: "You should ask my assistant." ”

"Okay," Lawson turned to Kevin Lin, "Your Excellency, how do you reward Da Fei for blowing up the East again?" ”

Kevin Lin said: "Laura has been waiting for Da Fei to ask her out. ”

"Stop." Yu Fei said, "I don't touch cheerleaders. ”

Kevin Lin said, "Then we might have to try our luck at the party in Spree." ”

"Spree's party?"

"Well, they celebrated another Eastern Conference championship on Kristallnacht."

"Idle is idle, let's go."

While the Bucks eliminated the Heat in five games to get a ticket to the Finals, the Mavericks in the West were fighting the horses.

Compared with the Bucks' crushing in the east, the road to the west is full of difficulties.

From the semifinals onwards, the Mavericks were challenged by the Suns. The two sides were deadlocked until Tianwang Mountain, and seeing that Nash was going to stab the old master for the second time, Nowitzki was inspired by blood rage, spraying German foul language and slashing 50 points and 12 rebounds.

The Sun, whose Dao Heart was broken, lost its ability to resist in Game 6 and was eliminated by the Mavericks.

Then came the Western Conference Finals, where the Mavericks faced off against old rivals and defending champions Spurs (1).

For fans on both sides, this is the most intense and exciting of all the past and future collisions between the two teams. The two sides have the best records in the West, and most of the players are in the best form, and the only one who shows signs of aging is the Spurs' main guard Jason Kidd.

The aftermath of signing Kidd and sending Parker is disrupting the Spurs' preparations.

Parker had an All-Star season this year, while Kidd is aging even further, and while still well-rounded and defensively good, the Spurs have Duncan with the same attributes and a few levels of influence more than Kidd.

What the Spurs desperately need right now is firepower from the outside to share the offensive pressure on the inside, and that's not what Kidd is good at.

With Lore Deng being suppressed by Josh Howard, the Spurs are in trouble, and they need Duncan to blow up the Mavericks' interior line, and they also need the rather god-and-ghost Ginobili to continue to play "god, god, god".

However, it was Ginobili who made Spurs fans feel the deepest pain in Game 7. He hit a three-pointer with 32 seconds left to give the Spurs a three-point lead. Then he gave Novitsky filial piety and gave the other party 2+1. Nowitzki hit a free throw, and then, in the final moments, it was Ginobili again, as if to prove that Nowitzki was a good defender, and gave the German a block.

The game went into extra time.

Ginobili's string of performances was like Zhou Qi's final minutes against Poland at the 2019 World Cup, destroying the team in terms of morale.

In overtime, the Mavericks sent off the Spurs with a 15-7 offensive run and struggled to get a ticket to the finals.

Some people who like to be different believe that Nowitzki's playoff performance is more impressive than Yu Fei's.

For example, Bill Simmons, who has always had a grudge against Yu Fei, wrote an article on the night when the Mavericks eliminated the Spurs.

In the most exaggerated paragraph, Simmons wrote: "My opinion is that Dirk is at a higher level than any power forward since Bird. Everyone else in the last 25 years has been flawed in some way. Garnett and Malone couldn't take over the game at a crucial moment. Barkley is better suited as a second option. Because of his erratic shot selection, opponents can limit him in the final minutes. Duncan is the best all-around power forward of all time, but his poor free-throw shooting percentage makes him a risky option in crunch time. But Nowitzki doesn't have any holes in it — he scores against anyone, hits free throws consistently, grabs key rebounds in the crowd, and even protects the basket, and lets out the right amount of sneer, and, having played the role of a killer since this spring, he's a true assassin, and I certainly never thought to write an article about Dirk Nowitzki. After he pulled out the Spurs, if you asked him who would win the Finals between Dirk and Frye Yu, I would have leaned intellectually towards the latter, but emotionally I would be 100 percent behind the former. ”

When the world praised Nowitzki, Yu Fei was actively preparing for the war.

Suddenly, life was simpler.

They just need to play one more series and give themselves a day off.

Even, if you want to start planning for the offseason now, there is no problem.

But Yu Fei knows that opening champagne at half time is the most untouchable slide in the sports world, so in addition to participating in daily training, the only thing he does out of the ordinary is to change a female companion every day.

Lawson said it was a stressful behavior after resuming singleness, and it would be fine in a few months.

Yu Fei was thinking, a few months? Wouldn't he want to complete the 100-man beheading? It sounds exciting, but how can there be a kind of beauty of Magic Johnson inexplicably?

Fortunately, the battle between cattle and horses has finally come to an end.

June 8, 2006, today is the opening day of the finals.

Yu Fei arrived at the Bradley Center half an hour earlier than usual.

Since he came ahead of schedule, the media naturally won't let go of the opportunity for an interview.

So, a host from Dallas Radio decided to ask Yu Fei a creative question.

He believes that his questions will definitely make Da Fei amusing compared to the stupid media that ask Yu Fei about his historical status, his feud with Jordan, the national team call-up, and other annoying questions.

Of course, creative issues always face criticism from the outside world because it's not politically correct, and it's even a bit disgusting.

But Davidson insisted on doing so, and he liked to challenge the players and ask questions that made their pupils tremble.

After buying off the Bucks staff, Davidson came up to Yu Fei and asked the question that stunned the people around him: "Fry, if a snake bites your mother's chest, would you be willing to suck the venom for her to win the championship?" ”

"Nope." Yu Fei's response at this moment was priceless, "But I'm willing to do this with your wife for the sake of the championship." ”

(1) I ask blindly, why did 06 Niu Ma meet in the semi-finals? These two teams have the first and second records in the West.

PS: I'm going to do the same way I did in '04. 04's East Finale is equivalent to a final decision, and 06 is the same, I'll do it in one or two chapters. In other words, the results will be available tomorrow.
