Chapter 326: Special Care, But Not So Special

Inside fans will hate the 2006 Finals, and while it's true that there are future Hall of Famers like Dirk Nowitzki at the No. 4 spot, the overall quality is concerning.

Moreover, Nowitzki is a player who is clearly out of place.

Imagine if he played in the 2020s. The cost of being born wrong is not being understood.

Today's traditional interior fans generally don't appreciate Nowitzki's ability to shoot and attack with the ball like a guard, and they can't accept the fact that Nowitzki beat Duncan in the playoffs.

And apart from Nowitzki, the center-forward duel between the two teams is a little funny in addition to being disappointing.

Eric Dampier, who calls himself the second center in the West, fights Kwame Brown, who calls himself the second center in the East.

ESPN's NBA pundit Chris Sheridan wrote in his Finals preview: "Kwame vs. Eric? Oh, it's like this year's NHL Finals, who cares who wins the Stanley Cup (1) with the Oilers and Hurricanes? ”

(1) There were only 610,000 viewers of the NHL Finals G1 that year.

When there is not much difference in strength between the two sides, the basic basis for judging who will lose and who will win is a premise: you have to know who is the best player in this series.

If you know, you know who has the better chance of winning.

On the other hand, if the strongest player in the series loses a close matchup, he will undoubtedly bear the greatest responsibility.

In the first game of the finals, Yu Fei played a declaration game.

The Mavericks held the Bucks in half court with similar offensive basketball to the Bucks.

Subsequently, Yu Fei began to use a 1-4 block to force Nowitzki's defense. What makes Dallas feel powerless the most is that as the only remaining superstar in the playoffs, Yu Fei has gathered the whistle power of Kobe, Iverson, James and Wade.

The Mavericks can't touch Yu Fei, and if they do, there must be a whistle.

Yu Fei made 14 free throws with a small number of breakthroughs, scored 44 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in a single game, and led the team to win the first game.

Mavericks supporters were outraged, feeling they could compete with the Bucks, but the referees denied them the opportunity.

The biggest of them is Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.

Cuban openly said: "We can't touch Frye, we can't stop Frye, even if we just stand next to him, the referee will be whistled for a foul because my player's breath blows into his face!" That's a damn sentence! That's damn bad! It killed our chances away from home! ”

Yu Fei believes that his explosive punishment power must be above everyone in the Mavericks, but it shouldn't be to this level tonight.

That's how Wade and James were treated.

As a player who has stood at the top, the league's promotion of him has shifted from the assistance of penalty scale to the development of commercial value and brand promotion.

In human terms, Yu Fei is now a mature commodity, and he can sell it for money when he launches it, while the others are still developing, and they need some additional manpower to ripen them.

So, why does he have such a powerful whistle force in his body?

Yu Fei didn't understand, he asked the people around him.

Lawson smiled: "Isn't it bad to have a whistle?" Your chances of winning are higher. ”

Kevin Lin said: "I see, this may not be your problem. ”

"Whose problem is that?" Yu Fei asked rhetorically.

"Mark Cuban." "As far as I know, no referee likes him, and if they were left to choose they would want Mark's team to lose." ”

When Lin Kaiwen said this, Yu Fei's heart was clear.

"Makes sense."

It's not that Yu Fei doesn't want to be taken care of by the referee, he just feels that tonight's care is a bit too much.

Obviously, he can win by strength, why do you have three more godfathers out of thin air?

If you think about it, there seems to be no reason for the league to take such care of itself, and for them, as long as there is a series of equal matches between the Bucks and Mavericks, all aspects can be accounted for.

And if the referees spontaneously want to kill the Mavericks, that's a different concept.

Therefore, I usually have to say less bad things about the referee.

People like Da Fei usually see who they hold whom, but when Wade won the next game for the Heat with nearly 20 free throws in a single game, Carl directly sprayed the referee, but he didn't say anything and calmly accepted the fact that Wade was taken care of.

The NBA needs a playbook for the rise of new stars, so even though Wade's team was swept 4-1, he played well in front of Yu Fei and led the team to win a game, which is a glorious moment on his resume, just like when rookie Yu Fei led the broken Wizards to be eliminated by the Nets 3-1 in the first round.

Yu Fei didn't know what the league had planned for this year's finals, but judging from the first game, the referee's dislike of Cuban seemed to outweigh other factors.

Matchday 2 of the Grand Finals.

Early in the morning, Yu Fei received a text message from a friend who usually doesn't communicate much.

Yu Fei's note to him was "Big Red Guy", because the note he gave Yu Fei was "Little Red Guy".

Well, this person is Yao Shu.

Due to Yao Mai's injuries in the first half of the season, the Rockets dug too much hole in their record, and finally failed to return to the playoffs, so they had to give up this season and draw the No. 8 pick at the lottery not long ago.

After the season, Yao Shu did not rush to the national team to prepare for this summer's World Championships, but stayed in the United States to recuperate from his injuries while training.

In the past few days, he has repeatedly heard the Texas media accuse the referee of giving Yu Fei preferential treatment.

It reminded him of the first-round round match against the Mavericks a year ago, and how the Dallas natives helped them out of the playoffs.

It's been a year, but Yao Shu still can't let it go.

He may be the biggest player in the NBA since O'Neal in the literal sense, but that doesn't mean he's as big as his body, and in fact, the Shanghai giant is stingy in some things.

He won't forget how Dallas eliminated him, and he won't forget that Cuban reported himself to the league during the playoffs, which led to him being targeted like a green referee for the next few games.

He'll remember that, just as he won't forget how the monsters at the Big Sharks Club kept him from going to the NBA in the first place.

His reward for the gang of grandsons was to buy the big sharks and let all the remnants who had caused him trouble get out.

This is his way of revenge.

However, he couldn't make the Mavericks pay the same price.

Suddenly, everyone was saying that the Mavericks were treated unfairly, that Da Fei was a bubble that was raised by the league, and that the referee was black or something.

Yao Shu had only one feeling.

The day has finally come!

The more anxious these people were, the happier Yao Shu became, originally he didn't want to disturb Yu Fei, but when this matter was troubled, he couldn't help it!

So Yao Shu sent such a text message to Yu Fei before the start of the second game: Late justice is also justice, I stand with you and beat those fools!

After reading it, Yu Fei felt that after this person came to the United States, his quality became lower and lower, why couldn't he learn more with himself? The average quality of their Chinese in the NBA has been reduced by this goods.

Yu Fei thought about it and replied; "I'll see you in Japan, and I'll ask you to soak in the hot springs then."

The other side replied in seconds: "Don't, the national team has discipline." ”

Yu Fei sent another message: "Little Biang, I don't know you yet?" ”

Yao Shu didn't reply.

Yu Fei also started a new day.

In the evening, fans gathered at the Bradley Center.

The Dallas media used public opinion to challenge the league in Game 2.

The kind of emperor-level enjoyment of being touched and having a free throw disappeared from Yu Fei.

For flying, that's just right.

That kind of penalty may seem like a good deal for the Bucks, but it will actually develop a sense of getting used to having a whistle to protect his body.

If he was really immersed in it, what would happen if the power of the Sentinel disappeared?

It's still as good as it is now, but it's not a big deal, every star has preferential treatment, and if you want to succeed in the playoffs, the key is your expressiveness under high pressure.

This looks like a common strength for both teams.

Yu Fei is the kind of player who rebounds fiercely under pressure, and Nowitzki has been the league's number one key man since the New Year, with decisive performances against the Suns in the semifinals and Spurs in the Western Conference finals.

At least in 2006, it was difficult to put the word soft on Nowitzki.

He and the Mavericks still need to go through a few rounds of collapse before they can become one with the soft man.

Tonight, Yu Fei and Nowitzki each showed their excellent side.

Yu Fei didn't feel good on the outside, but with his unsolvable mismatch and all-round skills, he scored 28 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, while Nowitzki played a dominant role on the inside, with 26 points and 16 rebounds and Yu Fei tied with him.

It's just that the collective strength of the Bucks' outside shooter group makes it difficult for the Mavericks to defend.

Martin, Barry, Granger, Bell and Sprewell each made three-pointers, and Martin and Bell even made four three-pointers.

Although the other players of the Mavericks played well, under the firepower of the Bucks, which is comparable to the small-ball era, the Dallas, who dominated the West with offensive basketball, actually suffered from a lack of firepower.

118 to 104

The Bucks hit 20 three-pointers in the game, setting a single-game three-point shooting record for the NBA Finals, which is pure firepower suppression.

Hubby Brown, a well-known basketball conservative, predicted: "After tonight, basketball as we know it may be very different." ”

TNT's Charles Barkley retracted his point: "Hey, I'm the big fool who says you can't win a championship with a shot all day, but I'm going to take it back now. You know, I'm still the dumbass who kissed the donkey's ass, I'm going to say some wrong things, and from today onwards we're going to see some games that we've never seen before. Shooting can't win championships is a thing of the past, and Frye and his Bucks proved one thing, it's not that shooting teams can't win championships, it's that those who don't shoot well can't win championships. ”
