Starting in March, the Bucks will become a big event in the NBA as long as they lose.

Because they look unstoppable.

In mid-April, when the Bucks were beating the Cavaliers by 41 points on the road, LeBron James claimed: "This is an unacceptable game!" ”

The game gave the Bucks 69 wins.

They tied the NBA's all-time record for second wins.

With one last game to go until the end of the regular season, they face the Phoenix Suns, who had beaten them a few months earlier.

A full-strength Suns win over the Bucks tonight to lock up second place in the West.

They are confident in it.

After all, they've done it once before, and they don't have a mental burden on the Bucks like other teams.

It's just that tonight's Bucks look very different from the teams they've faced before.

Danny Granger replaced Bale in the starting line-up, and it was Granger who was the first to open up the situation.

After the release of Yu, the people who benefited the most were Martin and Granger, one of whom began to learn to be the ball master in the Bucks' system, and the other developed into the traditional ace No. 3 position.

Yu Fei didn't exert any strength at all, just shot from the outside, played a few low posts, ran and counterattacked, passed the ball, and easily got 28 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, while the Bucks shot down the Suns with a huge advantage of 30 points.

It was their final regular season game of the season.

Facing the Suns, who are second in the West, the Bucks showed terrible dominance and finally advanced to the playoffs with a 70-12 all-time second-record record.

For Fei, this is still a great season, full attendance in the season, averaging 27 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists per game, compared with the mythical data of the previous two seasons, this season's Yu Fei is mortal in the data, but he led the team to achieve the best record in personal history.

This puts him in harmony with the legend of Chamberlain, the No.1 in basketball stats history, who also achieved success after giving up to become the scoring champion.

But at the same time, the shadow of the Bucks' biggest rivals, the Dallas Mavericks, who are first in the West, is getting bigger.

They currently have 65 wins, four games ahead of the Suns, who are second in the West, and have already locked up the first place in the West.

Therefore, in the final game of the regular season against the Warriors, he actually adopted a negative attitude towards the game.

They don't give intensity or confrontation throughout the whole process, they simply fight with the warriors to attack, and then they can't fight.

Carter, who has always been pure-hearted, scored 40 points like a killer and led the Warriors to a 33-point 122-89 victory over the Mavericks.

The Dallas native probably won't take this game seriously.

Because this game doesn't matter about the rankings, whether you win or lose doesn't affect the big picture.

What's more, the Warriors' coach is still Nelson. The Warriors are not certain to advance to the playoffs before winning the Mavericks, as they are competing with the Clippers for another spot. The two sides are only one game away from winning, and if the Warriors lose, the Clippers will advance to the playoffs according to the win-loss relationship.

But the Mavericks directly opened, and it was proved that professional basketball also has human feelings.

The Dallas and Golden Statemen had a good laugh that night.

However, the Dallas people never imagined that they would become the first NBA team to prepare for the 2007-08 season in the Western Conference playoffs.

The Bucks' first-round opponent is the Indiana Pacers.

This is a team that shouldn't be in the playoffs.

The only reason the Pacers are making the playoffs is that the East is too weak.

They only have 37 wins, a record that can only be ranked 11th in the West, and they have not even played in the play-offs more than a decade later.

But there is no way, in the past few years, the talent in the east has basically flowed to the west.

Like Maddie and Ray Allen, they were both traded to the west by chance, while O'Neill, who flowed from the west to the east, was dying.

It's just that the top star in the east still has Yu Fei, which is enough to make the west pay attention to the east.

It's just that compared to the West, the Pacers' test for the Bucks in the first round was basically as easy as a teaching game.

George Carr, who never likes to open champagne early, privately told a friend: "If we lose a game in the first round, it's a big problem with us." ”

In Karl's opinion, a total victory is deserved.

Yu Fei likes to play the Pacers because he has his good friend Jermaine O'Neal here.

"See you again."

Before the G1 game, Yu Fei greeted Xiao Ao in a friendly manner.

Xiao Ao's response made Yu Fei laugh: "This is the last time I want to see you in a year!" ”

"Don't be sad, you still have a chance to win the next game." Yu Fei said, "Come on." ”

But what's the use of winning a game?

That night, Xiao Ao tried his best to score 38 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks on the Bucks' inside.

The hard-earned score on the inside was drowned out by the Bucks' 17-of-28 three-pointers.

In the end, 118-97, the Bucks won by a wide margin.

After the game, Xiao Ao's interview swept the headlines of the second day.

One reporter asked, "What did you learn from this game?" ”

"You know, Da Fei is my good brother, but I have to pay the price for me to ruin his triple crown, and that's my retribution."

Another reporter asked, "Do you think you can get at least one win in the playoffs?" ”

"Da Fei didn't even sweat tonight, we just lay here, you still think we can win? Bro, you look more like a Pacers player than I am. Do you like to eat corn? ”

Finally, a reporter from Milwaukee asked, "If you were eliminated by the Bucks for two years in a row, would your relationship with Da Fei be challenged?" ”

“SHIT~~！！！” Xiao Ao shouted, "The game is the game, how can our relationship be affected?" Is it still reliable to have a relationship that will be affected by this kind of thing? And I don't think it's embarrassing to me. Why? Because there's a good chance I'm going to be the only guy in five years to win in the playoffs. ”

Speaking of which, the negativity of losing was actually gone, and he was like the ultimate winner: "You know, people don't end up remembering the overall runners-up who were beaten by Da Fei, but they will definitely remember who stopped Da Fei's five consecutive championships. That's right, it's me, it's me, it's fucking me! ”

Xiao Ao's sense of humor is the reason why Yu Fei has a good relationship with him.

You really can't hate people like that.

The next day, Yu Fei simply responded to the public opinion brought by Xiao Ao: "Well, I think Jermaine is right. ”

Then let public opinion ferment, and leave all the traffic to Xiao Ao, who is about to be sent back to cut corn.

At the beginning of G2, Yu Fei took Kwame Brown to greet Xiao Ao.

His original intention was to ease the relationship between the two, but Brown began to count Xiao Ao talking too much on the sidelines: "Jermaine, you lost completely, why do you act like you're a winner?" Moreover, it wasn't all your credit for the Pacers beating the Bucks in the first place, so why did you disrespect your teammates so much? ”

Xiao Ao replied: "There is no place for you to speak here, I will score 30 points on your head as easy as drinking water, you should go back to practice defense more if you have time." ”

Yu Fei felt Wade's helplessness.

This is yet another quarrel between the self-styled second center in the East and the recognized second center in the East.

Since then, Yu Fei has basically stopped trying to reconcile the relationship between the two.

That night, the matchup between Ao and Brown couldn't help but bring fans back to the 90s, the legendary giant-rampant center was prosperous, and now they are gradually dying, but today, Ao scored another 30 points and 11 rebounds, and Brown relied on eating cake alone, with 22 points and 10 rebounds.

In terms of data, Xiao Ao won by a small margin, and on the field, Xiao Ao won completely, because he beat Brown out of the court with six fouls, and there is a clear difference in the difficulty of scoring between the two.

Xiao Ao basically relies on singles, and the Pacers now have a reliable single point for him, Brown's scoring is too simple, and the Bucks' shooters only need to open up to have a wide space, plus Yu Fei, a grandmaster-level cake feeding king, plus Martin has recently begun to learn how to feed Brown, Brown's cake ball can be said to have opened his mouth.

Hit the back, and Xiao Ao, who had the advantage, was on the verge of breaking the defense.

Why did he work so hard and have no hope of winning? And that parallel trade champion doesn't have much strength at all, so the defense and rebounding look okay, and the offense is all fed by people, so he can actually compete with himself in terms of data?

It's also an inside line, why doesn't he have such teammates around him?

The hilarious scene could not save the Pacers' defeat.

The Bucks once again outscored their opponents by 20 points.

"Tell that Bichi!" Little Otto Yu Fei said, "If he refuses to shut up, I will continue to score 30 points on his head!" ”

Of course, Yu Fei didn't bring the words.

In the next two games, Xiao Ao's play was in line with the old saying "exhaustion and decline", and when he returned to the home court, he lost his offensive touch, scoring only 20 points in the crucial third game, and the Bucks won the match point lightly.

Then came to the fourth game, Yu Fei attacked with all his might, and scored 45 points with an unsolvable offensive performance, and sent the Pacers away with a big score of 4-0.

"Let's win another championship, Da Fei." Xiao Ao joked, "It's really important to me. ”

Yu Fei replied with a suggestion: "Indiana has no possibility of rising in the short term, you should consider starting again in another place." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Ao's eyes rolled, "What do you think of Seattle?" ”

"Huh."

Yu Fei didn't respond, patted him on the shoulder and left.

The Bucks' sweep of the Pacers was exactly what the outside world expected.

But the Mavericks' hard-fought first-round game against the Warriors was a big surprise.

Especially on the second day, when the Warriors, who had won two of the first three games, defeated the Mavericks at home and led 3-1, basketball fans generally had a feeling.

Calf pills.
