When pride still matters

Chapter 181 The heart-piercing master
"I didn't expect you to be so unpopular."

Yu Fei pretended that Parker's booing was not caused by himself.

In fact, it was really not caused by him.Spurs fans have a need to boo Parker, but at most Yu Fei just gave them a reason to boo Parker.

Parker obviously regarded Yu Fei as the culprit.

But Yu Fei and Parker were out of position, and he didn't have the ability to call pick-and-roll calls.

Because Parker's three-point shooting rate is not high and he is fast, Sprewell always retreats half a meter when defending him. Even if the pick-and-roll comes, there is enough gap to squeeze through.

Parker, who couldn't find an outlet, could only cooperate with Duncan.

Duncan passed the pick-and-roll and Parker passed the ball.

The process seemed to go smoothly, but Mason, an old and cunning guy, firmly resisted Duncan's right hand, forcing him to use his basic left hand to complete the finish.

Under the basket, because David Robinson did not open up the space, Dan Gazulic still had the opportunity to help defend and interfere with Duncan.

Duncan can only hook shots with his left hand.

The defense he faced seemed airtight, but in fact it had huge flaws. Neither Gazulic nor Mason could block his hook shot from the highest height.

In other words, Duncan's finishing shooting percentage actually depends entirely on his own touch.

Duncan is well-known in the world of basketball for his basic skills, but this scene made Yu Fei discover his unrefined left-hand finishing skills and rough left-hand touch.

If it were Nowitzki, this goal would definitely have been scored.

As a result, Duncan's shot circled around the basket and then slipped out.

The Spurs' defensive discipline was quite good. Duncan missed the attack, but before the Bucks' fast break started, three of the Spurs had already retreated.

Duncan and Robinson are both athletic insiders. As long as the Spurs are not obsessed with offensive rebounds, they can use their excellent retreat to suppress the Bucks' signature defensive counterattack.

Then, in the offensive round when Yu Fei did not control the ball, Sprewell started his tactics and was forced to make a mistake by the Spurs' special skill of "blocking the center and setting it aside" in the bottom corner.

"Fuck Spree!" George Karl exploded. "How many times have I told you! They're going to corner you and double-team you! Where's your brain?!"

Sprewell believed that he was not the only one dissatisfied with the head coach who was buzzing throughout the game. He glanced at Yu Fei.

Master Yu said: "If you want to strangle his neck, just do it."

FUCK!Sprewell cursed secretly. Whenever he had a slight impulse, Yu Fei would remind him of the terrible consequences of impulse.

The Spurs fell into position, Yu Fei shrank and double-teamed Duncan with Mason.

The reason why Yu Fei chose to double-team early was that Bowen left the bottom corner and was standing on the other side.

Duncan calmly held the ball above his head with both hands, turned around to find Bowen's position, and passed the ball over his head in an unpretentious manner.

Then Bowen hit a three-pointer from outside the left three-point line.

5 is better than 7
"Bruce's three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs this year is 44%."

Duncan left these words and ran away.

Mason wanted to say something to Fei, but Master Yu complained first: "If you can hold him down, do I need to double-team you?"

"You don't need to come, I can handle it by myself!" Mason said loudly.

"So ambitious! That's what you said!"

Yu Fei took the serve, came to the frontcourt and only needed Gazulic's pick-and-roll to break in.

Soon, the Spurs' top line defense appeared. If Yu Fei hesitated, he would be driven to the bottom corner like Sprewell in the last round, and then fall into the trap of the silver and black army.

The Spurs' corner trap is undoubtedly one of the most feared defensive traps in the league. Yu Fei will never take risks. He had already anticipated Bowen's appearance, and then he made a shot that was familiar to the Spurs. The unfamiliar European pacer scored with David Robinson's defense and a high throw.

At the moment when Yu Fei threw, Robinson's physical contact with Yu Fei in the air was captured by Bavetta.

"Beep!"

Whistle!

"Boom!"

And One!!!

"Are you kidding? David didn't even touch a hair!" Popovich complained dissatisfiedly.

The SBC crowd was like a crowd, booing deafeningly as Popovich pressured the referees.

But Bavetta is not the kind of person who will be overwhelmed by home pressure or care about the reaction on the spot.

He only blows the whistle and gives a T to anyone who dares to cross the line.

Although it was an away game, Yu Fei also figured out the referee's standards.

It's hard for others to say, but at least he has a whistle tonight.

In this way, he can safely attack the inside, and even attack the inside with the purpose of drawing fouls.

The inside advantage is the Spurs' basic basis for winning. If their insides are destroyed, this game will be a sure win.

Yu Fei never considered how many problems the zone defense and the Spurs twin towers' rim protection would bring to his rim rush.

He is a man with a clear mind.

Talk trash, hit your opponents, use your advantage points to win points, and then win the game. This is what he thinks about during the game.

Popovich finished the pressure on Bavetta and chose to make a substitution before flying a free throw.Manu Ginobili and Malik Rose replaced Stephen Jackson and David Robinson.

When Ginobili took the court, the SBC Center's reaction was a reverse Tony Parker.

It can be seen that Spurs fans love the Argentinian very much.

Obviously he is as prone to burning the CPU as Parker, and he also received a lot of scolding from Popovich.

Subsequently, the two new players from the Spurs performed well.

Rose pretended to come to the high post for a pick-and-roll, and suddenly ran back and cut inside.After all, Mason is an old monster who has been practicing for more than ten years. There is no way he can be fooled by his crude fake moves. He blocks sideways and blocks 99% of the passing routes.It's a pity that he is facing someone who can capture the 1%.

Ginobili's ball hit the ground under Mason's crotch, passed through the defense, and came to Rose's hands.

Rose caught the ball and dunked directly, with Mason behind him unable to interfere.

7 is better than 10
The result of replacing Stephen Jackson is to let Bruce Bowen defend Yufei.

Popovich did not dare to let Ginobili defend him, because although the Argentine has amazing offensive talents, his defense still needs to be tempered.

Let Ginobili guard Yu Fei directly, and Popovich is worried that the latter will make a heavy hand and psychologically affect the Argentine.

But Bowen didn't have much to do with Yu Fei.

Yu Fei's physical talent was dominant in all aspects. In this round, he just controlled the ball from the outside and directed his teammates to move. Then, he threw the ball into the air, and it happened to fall into the hands of Mason inside.

Mason pushed Rose away with his body and scored.

Popovich was extremely horrified. According to Yu Fei's condition today, he should attack with all his strength.

In the end, he resisted this desire and gave the insiders a sweetener, so that Mason and others had enough motivation to resist Duncan.

Too calm and steady, Popovich felt like he was looking at Duncan at the third position.

But Yu Fei is several years younger than Duncan in his rookie season, and this kind of temperament is rare.

The Spurs, led by Popovich, had questions for the nth time: Why did Michael Jordan trade him?

The damn Wizards used a hateful trade to create a strong Eastern Conference team.

This is what the Spurs are worried about. No matter how strong a precocious star like Yu Fei is, generally speaking, he should not lead his team to compete for championships at this age. But who would have thought that Jordan would have to rush to nail himself before retiring? Use this divine hand on the pillar of shame?
It is common to see strong young people, but it is rare to see strong young people also play for strong teams.

Generally speaking, young people who have taken over early have to struggle in a bad team for a few years, slowly waiting for the team to build a lineup.
The Milwaukeeans thought about it and finally had only one sentence left: Thank you Jordan.

Yu Fei assisted Mason to score first with 2+1. Duncan also found the feeling of the game and forced the ball under the basket to foul Mason. Then he received the ball in the paint area and feinted Mason. He faced the basket and attacked the basket ignoring Gadzulic's pass. Blocked the shot and put the basket with his right hand to score.

13 is better than 15
Duncan's exertion brought the Spurs closer to the score.

Yu Fei has not launched a personal attack for several rounds. Now, seeing Duncan's skill, he must respond.

"ISO! ISO!" Yu Fei waved while dribbling the ball, "Get them all away from me!"

Bowen said: "You really have no rules at all."

"Rules?" Yu Fei lowered his center of gravity and dribbled the ball at a fast pace, swinging from side to side. Bowen directly enjoyed the bonus of getting started and put his hands in front of Fei.

Yu Fei snorted softly and took a step forward with his side hand. However, after Bowen reacted, he suddenly pulled the ball to change direction, then stepped back laterally to collect the ball for a jumper.

"Shh!"

13 is better than 17
"Is this how you guard against Kobe?" Yu Fei mocked, "No wonder the Lakers can step on your heads and win three consecutive championships!"

When you talk trash to someone, you never waste any words and go straight to the point of pain.

If you look ugly, you'll be called ugly. If there's any dirt on you off the court, you'll be called dirt. But for a team like the Spurs, which doesn't have much dirt, it's natural to settle old scores.

The Lakers are a pain point for the Spurs.

Phil Jackson said that the championship in the lockout season should have an asterisk. After that, the Lakers won three consecutive championships, and the Spurs' lockout season championship was directly stepped on.The Spurs couldn't fight back because the OKC dynasty eliminated them in the playoffs twice.

Yu Fei's trash talk made Bowen confused, and he attacked Duncan again.

Duncan, who was unaware of the situation, passed the ball to Bowen.

Bowen hit a good iron in anger.

"Good, good, good shot!"

Yu Fei predicted the position of the rebound, flew up to pick it up and threw it directly to Ray Allen who was about to leave.

Ray Allen succeeded in a layup, switching from defense to fast break in one go. This is the power of the Bucks' defensive counterattack. After Yu Fei grabbed the rebound, whether it was a pass to speed up or a one-stop push, his efficiency was unparalleled. and.

It is no exaggeration to say that George Karl is a Magician-level rotational offensive threat.

The Spurs are in chaos, and the main problem lies with Bowen.

He was originally the most stable three-pointer to share the pressure with Duncan, but Yu Fei's trash talk shook him.

When Bowen hit another three-pointer, the Bucks' counterattack was stopped by a tactical foul by the Spurs.

Sprewell looked regretful.

Standing on the sidelines, Karl thought to himself that he had to find a way to let Frye get defensive rebounds as much as possible. Only in this way can the counterattack efficiency be maximized.

The situation on the court suddenly changed. Duncan lost his outside support and the Spurs lost their offensive rhythm. However, the Bucks played harder and harder. After one quarter, 28 to 19, they turned against the visitors and led the Spurs by 9 points.
