When pride still matters

Chapter 166 I am very happy to personally organize the retirement ceremony for him

I don’t know since when, Jerry Stackhouse became the Wizards’ first choice.

Because when he holds the ball, he is more sure than Jordan.

However, Yu Fei doesn't care about Stackhouse, he goes for Jordan every time.

Jordan's score against him stayed at 2 points, while Yu Fei's points continued to rise through matchups and pick-and-roll calls on Jordan.

Not counting the score in the first quarter, Yu Fei has scored 20 points in the second quarter.

One minute before the end of the first half, Yu Fei easily passed through Jordan's defense and flew for a layup.

Stackhouse came to help defend. He wanted to prove one thing. Jordan couldn't restrict Yu Fei. He could, even through assisting defense.

But he is not a defensive expert. This is the biggest difference between the Jordan successors mass-produced by North Carolina and the original Jordan in the post-Jordan era - these offensive machines who are forced to become Jordan's successors often only attack and do not defend.

Stackhouse's assisting defense not only caused no interference, but also cost him a foul.

"Jerry! You have played professional basketball for eight years, but you can't even play a damn good defense?" Jordan was furious.

Stackhouse glared at Jordan with resentment. He found that no matter what he did, he could not satisfy the superior senior.

He didn't defend well, but why did he mess up the defense here?Aren't you wiping the butt of Senior Jordan?
"How refreshing. A defensive loophole can actually accuse a person who failed to complete the task of assisting in defense. Who gave you the courage?" Yu Fei mocked, "It couldn't be your six championships, right?"

Jordan said: "There is nothing wrong here."

"Indeed, but 23 to 2." Yu Fei took into account the additional penalty.

Jordan's face froze.

His score wasn't just 2 points.In fact, he has now scored 14 points, but Yu Fei was right.When he faced Fei Fei, he only scored 2 points.

Then, the extra penalty hit the mark.

Now, the score on the court is 40 to 59, and the Bucks lead the Wizards by 19 points on the road.

Yu Fei scored 23 points in a single quarter and 38 points in the half. This reminds people of his career-high 56 points when he faced the Wizards for the first time at the beginning of the season.

According to this momentum, it is possible to set a new career high.

"Jerry, how many times have I told you, your job is to help Michael, what are you doing?"

Collins was unaware of Stackhouse's changing mood.

Stackhouse, who was supposed to pass the ball to Jordan, sprinted in at that moment.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, substitute Devin George failed to block him.

As a result, the moment Stackhouse entered the penalty area, Anthony Mason blocked him from the air like a bully.

At the moment of physical contact, Mason's foot hit Stackhouse's inner thigh hard as he took off.

Stackhouse screamed.

Mason was called for a foul and Stackhouse was lying on the ground howling. For basketball players, aside from torn or fractured knee cartilage, there is no more troublesome groin injury than a groin injury.

A strong athlete can continue to play with a strained hamstring, but a groin injury can leave a person in limbo, producing excruciating pain near the abdomen, inner thighs, and genitals, and that horrible feeling is enough to make 99% of The person loses vitality.

With less than 20 seconds left in the first half, Karl Yu Fei took a break.

Collins saw Stackhouse walking to the bench in pain. Not only did he not show concern for his injury, but he expressed dissatisfaction with his offensive choices: "Jerry, what are you doing? Our tactics are"

"Fuck you!" Stackhouse lost control, cursing Collins like a thug.

At this moment, he became unreasonable, leaving Collins stunned.

People saw Stackhouse, who only existed in legends but had never seen his true face.Since entering the NBA in 1995, Stackhouse has fought with two teammates, one of whom was on the Bucks' bench.

Christian Leitner was not surprised: "That's just the kind of person he is."

Stackhouse felt that he had done a good job for the team in an extremely painful situation, but Jordan was not satisfied. Collins did not show any empathy and compassion, which ignited his anger and made him extremely angry. .

Teammates tried to calm Stackhouse, but the situation was out of control. He was howling. A panicked Collins muttered helplessly, saying he was just trying to help the team get better.

Just when everyone was worried that Stackhouse would do something more aggressive (attack those around him or the coaching staff), he turned and walked towards the tunnel.

There were extremely harsh boos from MCI.

It’s as if the angry fans are saying: “This is the team I support?”

At that moment, Yu Fei changed his mind.

He stood up and said to Karl, "George, I'm going to play the whole second quarter."

Karl shrugged and said, "It's up to you."

Stackhouse brought two free throws to the Wizards, and Jordan, who was in desperate need of scoring, naturally assumed the responsibility of free throws.

He made both free throws.

42 is better than 59
The first half is coming to an end, but many people are still immersed in the storm of Stackhouse's rampage.

There is no doubt that that will be a public relations disaster that the Wizards will need to deal with after the game.

To be sure, the public won't get any inside information.

Yu Fei wasted time on the outside, and Jordan, who took the initiative to defend him, said nothing.

Then, in the last few seconds, Yu Fei dribbled the ball, started, stopped suddenly, pulled the ball under his crotch and took a step-back jump shot.

The moment the red light came on, Yu Fei, who had great touch, was able to score with his touch even if he didn't throw away Jordan's defense.

"Shh!"

42 to 61, the first half ended.

ABC打出了于飞的半场数据：22投17中，砍下40分8篮板4助攻2抢断。

当然，他们还“体贴”地打出了乔丹的数据作为对比：18投5中，砍下16分4篮板4助攻。

The audience cheered for Yu Fei.

The sound was stronger than at the beginning.

The Wizards' disappointing performance compared with Yu Fei's dominant performance caused a large number of fans to switch sides.

They increasingly want to know why the team traded Yu Fei.

This man took the team into the playoffs when both Jordan and Hamilton were reimbursed. This proved his strength and potential. Why should he be traded?

Support for Fei was mixed with dissatisfaction with Jordan and the management, causing MCI fans to suddenly turn the Wizards' home game into an away game.

They shouted MVP as Yu Fei walked into the aisle.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Wizards owner Abi Poulin.

He suddenly discovered that Yu Fei not only continued to improve in his second season, but also accumulated considerable popularity in DC based on his performance in his rookie season alone.Especially when the Wizards under Jordan deeply disappointed fans, fans became increasingly aware of the value of Yu Fei.

Then, the Wizards actually traded this man who could potentially rewrite the history of the Wizards?

Pauline traded Yu Fei for the short-term economic benefits that Jordan could bring, and now he is furious that he has lost the long-term economic benefits that he could have extracted from Yu Fei.

what did I do?
No. It’s not me. I’m not the one who traded him!

Pauline's bloodshot eyes held terrible rage.

Susan O'Mary, the vice president of the Wizards, has seen Pauline like this when there was a scandal among the Wizards players, when the Wizards suffered serious losses, and when the cats and dogs around Jordan spoke loudly about his tolerant boss in front of the media. , Pauline in demon form will appear.

However, Bolin at this moment was angrier than any Bolin in demon form that Omari had ever seen.

Omari wanted to say she had foreseen what was going to happen tonight, but she couldn't.Pauline knew what he had missed, but he still wanted to go through the final moments with Jordan hand in hand.However, before that, he needed to do a period of psychological construction to comfort himself.

Jerry Stackhouse did not return for the second half of the game.

The Wizards had to bear this loss and let Jordan and Cassell lead a team that had lost all fighting spirit.

Yu Fei discovered that the Wizards continued to let Jordan play against him.

This seems to be what Jordan meant.

If he no longer faces Yu Fei, it means that he has surrendered.

Jordan couldn't accept this, even if he was completely blown away on the court.

This kind of personality may have helped him succeed in the past, but if he is put in the present, it will only make things more and more difficult to deal with.

Because Yu Fei is not a person who just accepts good things.

If you stick out one face, he will keep that face and then backhand you with the other face.

In the Bucks' first offensive round of the second half, Yu Fei dribbled in and Jordan's defense was thrown away from the beginning.

Under the basket, Jasidi White, who started again, was unable to block Yu Fei's throw.

"Boom!"

"27-2."

Yu Fei said so.

This difficult night looked far from over.

Yu Fei's forward defense made it difficult for Jordan to catch the ball, and Cassel could only start anew.

Fortunately, the alien is a seasoned point guard with both personal offense and organizational offense attributes. He assisted White to eat the cake without Jordan participating in the tactics.

Yu Fei did not immediately attack with the ball.

For more than 1 minute, Yu Fei did not hold the ball, but just ran around and covered his teammates.

Suddenly, he found that Jordan's defense was falling behind.

It's impossible for an old guy to run around like him and still keep an eye on people.

Yu Fei took advantage of the situation and pulled outside the three-point line, and the ball was passed from the inside.

Jordan didn't defend in time, and Yu Fei shot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

"30-2."

Yu Fei stopped talking unnecessary rubbish and reported the numbers as a matter of routine.

His nonchalance made the whole process even more humiliating.

Jordan kept running and using screens to catch the ball.

But what about catching the ball?Yu Fei will not let him score.

Jordan still needs to face Fei's defense.

Yu Fei always has only three tricks to deal with Jordan.

Close, hard, interference.

A year of experience on the same team made him very familiar with Jordan's habits, and he also knew that as long as the Wizard Dan couldn't find his shooting touch on the night of the game, he would behave extremely ugly.

Because his team doesn't play fast breaks very much.

Even if Nash and Curry come to this team together, they still have to accompany him to fight position battles.

Don't ask him why he went to all this trouble. Ask him just to revive the style of the 90s. He is duty-bound.He didn't feel good tonight, or in other words, he had a good touch in the second quarter, but he was disturbed by Yu Fei.

Since then, he has never found a rhythm.

Constantly taking shots and hitting the iron, Jordan's mentality has become worse, and his offense is no longer rigorous.

A loose offensive approach will lead to many flaws.

For players of Jordan's age, there is no room for error when losing physical fitness. Once there is a flaw, young people like Yu Fei who do not respect the elderly will catch and beat them severely.

Jordan's two consecutive attacks were blocked by Yu Fei and went out of bounds.

"Where's your fake move?"

"You don't think it's 1983 now, do you?"

Yu Fei's ruthless trash talk was like an executioner's knife, cutting into Jordan's pride and self-esteem.

What can Jordan do on the defensive end when his offense is unsustainable?
Yu Fei used his body to hit from behind, 32 to 2.

Yu flew high to the basket and dunked. 34 to 2.

Yu Fei shook him up, causing a shooting foul and then made two free throws, 36-2.

Finally, Yu Fei made a mistake under the Wizards' double-team.

As a result, Sprewell instantly committed a tactical foul on a Wizards player.

Returning to the frontcourt battle, Jordan was passed behind Yu Fei's defense, and Cassel took a shot from the outside.

Yu quickly caught the ball and dunked.

Halfway through the third quarter, the point difference was stretched to 30 points.

Doug Collins desperately requested a timeout.

The fast break opportunity was missed and the positional battle was so ugly. Is there any way to end this game with dignity?

Collins forced himself to forget about Stackhouse, but something even more terrifying happened during this timeout.

Sam Cassel, who was dissatisfied with the way the game was played, complained to Jordan: "Wake up, Michael, we can't play like this!"

Another person said: "We have to run, we had a chance just now, but the ball moved too slowly!"

"Damn it, is Michael still fighting like this?" The voice was very soft, no one would say that to Jordan face to face.

"We could have counterattacked, we had a good time just now!"

"Stop shooting, we should attack the basket!"

"!@@#!￥"

A few seconds later, the unbearable Jordan roared: "Shut up and calm down! Keep passing the ball and slow down the pace!"

Jordan's shouts always work, but today, his intimidating effect lasted only a few seconds as the players continued to complain and blame each other.Collins eventually interrupted them and reworked the play, bringing on Kwame Brown for Jasidi White to allow the players to focus.

The tactic designed by Collins is: Michael catches and shoots.

To no one's surprise, the scene was lifeless.

At the end of the timeout, Collins yelled to himself, "We can do it!"

Fortunately, Jordan did it. He finally broke through in front of Yu Fei and broke the scoring drought for one and a half quarters, bringing the score ratio between the two sides to 36 to 4.

Yu Fei didn't waste much time.

The Wizards continued to attack him, but this time they failed.

His fake move shook Bobby Simmons who was trying to help Jordan, then jumped up, caused a three-point foul under the two defenders, and then forced the shot.

"Shh!"

"Four-point play! Frye Yu completed a four-point play under double-team defense!"

Yu Fei stared at Simmons teasingly and asked, "When have you ever guarded me?"

Simmons was speechless.

As for Jordan, Yu Fei had only one sentence: "40 to 4."

After the extra free throw, Yu Fei's total score reached 5 points 55 minutes before the end of the third quarter.

But he still only focused on the matchup with Jordan.

Those numbers devastated, insulted and hurt Jordan more than anything else.

No one could have known how much of an impact this game would have on Jordan's legacy as a professional basketball player. For everyone who watched the game, the man wearing a Bulls jersey, performing an aerial exchange against the Lakers, and setting a record against the Trail Blazers The scenes of the three-point record in the Finals, the buzzer beater against Barkley against the Suns, the Father's Day victory against the Sonics, the flu battle against the Jazz, and the shot of the century in 98 have all become blurry.

What replaced it was Yu Fei's brutal rule over Jordan.

The reason is simple: people tend to remember best the last thing they saw.

Aside from Collins, no one on the Wizards coaching staff cared more about Jordan than John Bach.

He had been an assistant coach with the Bulls for eight years, and he clearly remembers that if there was anything that troubled the young Jordan, it was that one day in the future he was destined to be weakened by age and no longer Nor can he run and jump like a gallop. When the time comes, he may fall into an embarrassing situation, just like the 76ers' "Dr. J" Julius Erving.

On a terrible night, Bird laughed at Irving, talked trash to him, tore his defense in half with his offense, and then broadcast the scoring numbers of both sides on time - yes, just like Yu Fei tonight .

As a result, the legend, who had never lost his composure in public, was enraged and punched Bird.

The perpetrators usually have to pay the price. Jordan saw Bird dragging his crippled body on the court in his later years, and then being violently retaliated by the people he could easily manipulate when he was young, including Jordan's teammate Scotty Pee. Peng.When Pippen limited Bird to only 8 points in the game and he only scored 24 points, Pippen, who had his revenge, laughed at Bird as "really just an ordinary player now."

That scene deeply touched Jordan. As a person who also liked to commit violence on the court, he did not want to end up like Bird, so he said to Bach at the time: "If you see signs of my decline one day, You must tell me."

This won't happen to you, Michael.

John Bach remembers how he responded to Jordan 11 years ago.

At this moment, Yu Fei dribbled towards the basket. Jordan, who was not shaken away, tried to block it with his body, and was eventually knocked to the ground.

Yu Fei dunked like a tank.

That was Yu Fei's last attack against Jordan before the end of the third quarter.

"45-4."

The tragedies of Julius Erving and Larry Bird finally happened to Jordan.

Is this God's will?No, this is Jordan's inevitability.

A person who shouldn't have come back is back, and the twilight he brings will surely affect everyone.

People like Yu Fei will not let their short life be wasted by such a sullen old man. This twilight belongs to yesterday, tonight, and the wizard, but it does not belong to him. He will only take a deep breath and let go of all the staleness. Breathe it all in, breathe it out, and then it's garbage.

Just like Jordan lying on the ground.

It's all rubbish!
After this, both Yu Fei and Jordan (due to injury) were replaced.

In the fourth quarter, the Bucks, already leading by 38 points, did not need to let Yu Fei return to the court.

But considering that George Karl scored 60 points in three quarters, if he works hard, he may be able to break the 70-point or even 80-point mark.

As a result, Yu Fei looked at Karl, who was full of earnestness, and said something that left him speechless: "I'm tired."

However, Karl didn't feel that Yu Fei was faking at all.

Because Yu Fei played the first three quarters.Therefore, even if he does not play in the fourth quarter, he has already played for 36 minutes tonight. Playing the first three quarters with that kind of concentration on offense and defense will undoubtedly be exhausting. Karl believes that Yu Fei is really tired.

However, the key must be Jordan.

Jordan won't play again.

Therefore, Yu Fei felt that there was no need to play again.

In the end, Yu Fei did not return to the field.

Ending: 131 to 95. The Bucks scored their highest single-game score in the final game against the Wizards this season, burying the Wizards' playoff hopes in one fell swoop. Yu Fei's performance was even more shocking, scoring three goals in three quarters. 60 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks shocked the past and present.

Since Wilt Chamberlain's night, Yu Fei is the second person to score 60 points in three quarters.

As Bill Walton said after the game: "Twenty years later, the players involved in this game may have retired, but this game will still be discussed 20 years later. It is eternal."

Post-match interview
"We knew how important this game was for Frye, so our strategy was to let him play freely. I knew he would do something crazy, but I didn't expect it to be this crazy. OMF***G!" ——George Karl talks about Yu Fei’s crazy performance.

"I don't think he'll ever get over that deal." - Latrell Sprewell on Yu Fei's motivation.

"I have nothing to say, tonight belongs to Frye." - Ray Allen refused to talk about his performance.

"I think you can really judge who is worth following by one game. I admit that most people will follow MJ because of his six championships, but I am more tacky. I will follow those who can win in three quarters. The guy who scored 60 points and refused to score more in garbage time." - Anthony Mason's speech.

"This is an internal matter for us and we have no comment." - Doug Collins declined to comment on Stackhouse's debacle.

"The season is not over yet, we have to play every game well." - Doug Collins talking about the rest of the season.

"I believe Michael will have a beginning and an end." - Doug Collins responded ambiguously to questions about whether Jordan would retire.

"The guy who led us to the playoffs last year was Frye, so you shouldn't ask me what I think about it. I was a spectator of this game until the end when I got a little playing time. But, if I'm Frye, and I hate DC more than he does." - Kwame Brown on Yu Fei's performance.

"Fry was crazy tonight, but I don't think anyone was surprised, right?" - Jacid White handled the media questioning with ease.

(Michael Jordan and Jerry Stackhouse were absent from the post-game press conference)
"Fry, did this game lessen your hatred of DC?"

"I don't hate DC."

"You have said before that what supports you to go all out here is love and hate."

"Don't twist my words. We need to love specific people and hate specific people. This has nothing to do with DC. My mom lives here. She loves DC and so do I."

Everyone knew who Yu Fei hated, so the reporter asked tacitly: "There is news that Michael's knee is seriously sprained, which means that tonight is likely to be his last game on behalf of DC, you How do you feel about this?”

"Oh, that's a good thing, the Wizards are better off without him,"

Yu Fei's words came to an abrupt end. Reporters had become accustomed to his aggression towards Jordan.

However, Yu Fei hadn't finished speaking yet.

"I am very happy to personally organize the retirement ceremony for him." Yu Fei's tone was calm, his expression was indifferent, and there was no sharpness in his eyes, but no one doubted his sincerity, just like his last words Same thing as, "He deserves it."

Martin Luther King, the hero of African Americans, once said that it is not the attack of the enemy that should be remembered, but the silence of the friend.

Presumably, Dr. King has understood through personal experience that the bullets of the enemy are fatal, and the silence of friends is not worth mentioning.

Today, Yu Fei fired the last bullet against Jordan in service.

He seemed to have completed his revenge, but what people saw on his face was more of an unfinished emotion.

He had given Jordan all the revenge and fightback, but he didn't feel satisfied at all.

He may never be satisfied.

Because revenge against Jordan is just an episode during the season, he has more important things to do in the upcoming playoffs.
