When pride still matters

Chapter 189 World Champion (Thanks to the little boss for the very naughty alliance leader reward)
If the second quarter was tough, then the third quarter was depressing.

This sense of oppression belongs to both sides, and everyone involved in the game feels that they are facing unbearable pressure.

The Spurs were determined to make the game ugly.

Popovich's instructions to the players were: "Someone has to fall to the ground in every round. If the person who falls to the ground is Frye Yu, it means we have completed an excellent round."

If someone makes a mistake on the court, Popovich, always angry, always full of energy, always daring to roar at players, will let his roar echo across the court.

Former Spurs player and Spurs game commentator Sean Elliott has an unspeakable trust in Popovich: "It's hard for you to decide who is better between Tim and Frye through this game. But I believe everyone can see that Pop is the more influential coach! No matter who makes a mistake, Pop will show the madness we know. This is the most special thing about the Spurs - Pop can coach everyone on the team. Man. Believe me, not every coach has that right."

After speaking, Elliot glanced meaningfully at George Karl in the distance.

Yu Fei is the Bucks' biggest X factor.

He is to the Bucks what Kidd is to the Nets.

This kind of player who brings huge changes to the team often has overriding power.

This is why Spurs professionals believe it is impossible for the Bucks to defeat the Spurs.

Because when Yu Fei makes a mistake, the Bucks do not have the ability to correct the mistake.

Perhaps, Yu Fei should thank Jordan.

When he debuted as the "anti-Mike" in DC, people around Jordan took the trouble to tell the outside world how uncoachable he was.

The rebellion of "anti-Mike" and the behavior of "downcoming the superior" represent a terrible excess of self-awareness. After coming to the Bucks, his undisguised hatred of Jordan and the Wizards proved that he is a villain who will seek revenge. How could such a person be in this position? After assuming power, humbly accept guidance,

He is Jordan after Jordan, which is the only reason why he and Jordan fell out.

Is it difficult to understand that people of the same sex repel each other?

To this night, the words Yu Fei said to reporters in the Holy City after winning the Battle of Tianwang Mountain still echo in the Alamo, but no one really listened to them.

Yu Fei missed a three-pointer during an attack and the basketball went out of bounds.

Ray Allen criticized: "Do you have anyone else in your eyes? I've obviously got the vacancy!"

"Mine," Yu Fei said without defending himself, "I'll pass it to you next round."

In the Bucks' next offensive round, Ray Allen's three-pointer was equally effective.

Yu Fei didn't blame him. This was the characteristic of this game. The terrible confrontation eliminated everyone's touch, so that the shooting percentage of both sides was horribly low.

In the third quarter, the Spurs' final attack was executed by Duncan.

Duncan has drawn three fouls from Laettner, four fouls from Tyrone Hill and five fouls from Anthony Mason.

As long as he gets the ball in the low post and the Bucks don't double-team him, they can't intercept him by relying on single defense alone.

In this round, Yu Fei quickly shrank into the basket.

And Duncan also passed the ball to the outside world at the moment when the double-team was formed - Stephen Jackson, who has made 11 of 3 shots so far, and he shot the last ball of the Spurs' third quarter.

That was a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Who said Duncan was a stone Buddha?When Jackson hit a three-pointer, the fist he pumped unconsciously was full of passion.

61 is better than 64
The Spurs led by 3 points with 11 seconds left in the quarter.

Until now, Duncan and Yu Fei have not rested for a second.

They all know they will play the entire game.

Yu Fei turned around and said to Laettner, "Pay attention to my gestures and prepare for a pick-and-roll."

Laettner didn't say a word and silently sent the ball out.

He looked at No. 21 in front of him, and then at No. 44 next to him. No matter in terms of style of play, position, playing style, or personality, these two people were the opposite of each other.But for some reason, he discovered countless similarities between Yu Fei and Duncan.

Team, responsible, calm, reliable, insanely competitive and almost indistinguishable on the pitch.

Duncan destroyed the Bucks' inside line.

And Yu Fei also tore up the Spurs' perimeter.

In order to give Yu Fei a chance to fight, the Spurs' number of wing fouls increased greatly.

Currently, both Stephen Jackson and Bruce Bowen have four fouls. Ginobili, who only played less than 10 minutes, fouled Yu Fei three times, and David Robinson was fouled four times by Yu Fei. Almost Can't help Duncan on the court.

Yu Fei dribbled the ball, and Leitner prepared to pick and roll.

Just as he was approaching Jackson, he saw Yu Fei waving him away.

ISO?

Leitner stopped thinking and instinctively pulled away, while Yu Fei continuously changed in front of Jackson and pulled back, stopped suddenly, retreated, and shot at the buzzer.

"Shuh!!!"

64 is better than 64
Yu Fei glared at Duncan fiercely. Although he didn't talk trash, his meaning was very clear.

No matter what you want to do, I will accompany you to the end!
Abandoned geniuses and respected leaders, they injected so-called spectatorship into this terrible game and brought a long-lost epic to professional basketball.

No matter which one of them wins in the end, it symbolizes that they have won the victory they deserve in their destiny.

ABC once again posted the data of the two people.

弗莱·于，26分10篮板9助攻2抢断4盖帽，命中率46%。

蒂姆·邓肯，19分15篮板7助攻1抢断7盖帽，命中率47%。

George Karl looked at the statistics in stunned silence. Yu Fei's performance far exceeded his imagination, but Duncan's dominance in the interior was terrifying.

Carl glanced at Yu Fei out of the corner of his eye. He was drinking Gatorade.

"Fry, do you need a rest?" Carl asked.

Yu Fei said: "Duncan is more tired than me."

Carl got it.

Yu Fei wants to continue playing, which means the Bucks need to put everything on the line.

Although for them, there is still the guarantee of Game [-].But now is the time to put all the bets on the line. The Spurs are more experienced, and Duncan has a stronger influence on both offense and defense. If the suspense lasts until the seventh game, Yu Fei, who has spent all his bullets tonight, can still come up with something in the seventh game. Same status?

It's hard to say whether the Bucks, who lack experience and have never withstood such a test in the playoffs, will collapse under the pressure in Game [-] of the Finals.

The Spurs want to survive from a desperate situation, but the Bucks are fighting to the death. The risk of a tiebreaker is uncontrollable. Doing everything possible to end the battle in the sixth game is the best ending.

The Bucks started the fourth quarter with a lineup of Fly, Reed, Sprewell, Laettner and Gazulic.

This is not the Bucks' full lineup because Ray Allen is in bad shape and Mason fouls too many.The Spurs also did not replace the full lineup, and both sides postponed the decisive time to the last half of the quarter.

The lineup is incomplete, but the characteristics of high defensive intensity, fierce confrontation, and strong blocking of core players still exist.

If Yu Fei doesn't get the ball, someone will come to fight with him. If Yu Fei gets the ball, he will attack from a double flank.

Duncan, too, needs to face the defense of two or three people every time he holds the ball.

In this case, teammates must come to their rescue.

If anyone on either side suddenly finds the touch and hits consecutive shots, they may be able to take the game away.

But, unfortunately, everyone seems to be in hell.

Then, on the Spurs side, Stephen Jackson stepped up.

Immediately afterwards, the Bucks also had surprise players, and Michael Reed responded immediately after Jackson opened the game.

Jackson hit three three-pointers in 5 minutes, and Reid also scored 5 points in 10 minutes after Yu Fei attracted firepower.

74 is better than 73
The Bucks took the lead.

Duncan caught the ball in the middle and took a hasty shot in the crowd, but missed.

However, David Robinson fell from the sky, grabbed the offensive rebound in Knight's hands, and pushed it back to the basket.

74 is better than 75
Whenever Robinson performs, Yu Fei will find flaws in him.

Tonight was a tough one for the Admirals, who didn't expect that his rough foul in the first quarter would take the entire game to pay for.

Yu Fei called the fifth position for a pick-and-roll, forcing Robinson in front of him, and then rushed into the free throw line like an arrow from a bow. He stopped close to Robinson's body at high speed, turned around, and pressed the opponent's arm in confusion. The restricted area pulls the bar to hit the board.

The moment the basketball hit the backboard, the referee blew the whistle. It was David Robinson's fifth foul.

Although the ball fell out of the basket, Yu Fei once again interrupted Robinson's momentum and forced him to the edge of fouling out.

During the dead ball gap, the Bucks and Spurs replaced their full lineups.

There are less than 6 minutes left in the game.

Yu Fei made one of two free throws, 75-75, and the two teams were tied again.

"Good job!" Mason said to Fei.

Yu Fei responded: "Hold on for another 5 minutes!"

Mason thought to himself that he had already committed five fouls for five minutes. Can he hold on?

No one knows what will happen, both sides will fight to the last moment.

Probably the sudden bravery of Jackson and Reed gave them confidence. Suddenly, the seemingly most unreasonable shot method - the mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll turned out to be the main offensive method of the two teams.

However, the low hit rate shows that it is not reliable.

Yu Fei missed, Reid also missed, and the newly replaced Ray Allen also failed to make a shot.

On the Spurs' side, Duncan is like a machine, constantly setting up high pick-and-rolls for his teammates.

Parker can't get to the basket, can't show off his speed advantage in the hands-on era, and doesn't have the shooting ability to consistently put the ball into the basket.

He wants to pass the ball, but his vision is terrible.

Parker had two consecutive passes that were destroyed and went out of bounds. He finally passed the ball to Jackson's hands. The Raiders, who suddenly found his touch in the first half of the quarter, also lost his touch.

Keep hitting the ball, keep making mistakes, and someone keeps destroying the ball.

The game is so hard-core and retro, people seem to be watching a game in the 40s. There was no NBA at that time, and it was common for even the strongest team to score no more than 50 points in the game.In the era before the birth of the 24-second offensive rule, the pace of the game would be slowed down repeatedly in order to win, and any team that thought of the pace would be violently defended.

Now, that defense has been reincarnated in the 2003 Finals.

Under the 24-second attack time limit, the visual experience of constant hammering will make the audience feel extremely depressed.

Until Tim Duncan improbably caught the ball after the pick-and-roll and hit a two-step long mid-range shot inside the three-point line.

Tonight, he shot less than 50% from the free throw line.

However, at this moment, no one was sure that the ball would be made, but he made it.

At that time, with less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, 75 to 77, the Spurs suddenly took the lead.

The stone statue of a man turned around, clenched his fists, and roared. For the sportswriters who had devoted their efforts to portray Duncan as a robot and emotionless, their efforts failed.No one on the Spurs team is more emotional than Duncan.

Yu Fei took the ball and raised his hand to call for a pick-and-roll. Mason came to the outside and Duncan followed. There was also David Robinson standing under the Spurs' basket.

Yu Fei started at full speed, and Duncan switched defense decisively. It is said that the king cannot see the king, but the confrontation between the two has happened countless times.

If it were an ordinary insider, Yu Fei would have already passed him by one step.

Duncan, however, maintained a sense of defensive pressure even though he was lagging behind. The moment Yu Fei rushed inside, the Spurs hit the goal with Robinson in front and Duncan behind. Yu Fei jumped into the air and was caught between them, holding both hands. Hold the ball and pull the lever, and lift the ball high with your left hand.

On the other side, Bucks center Travis Knight is ready to tip in.

In order to flank Yu Fei, Robinson lost the best space for blocking.

But, there was no rebound.

"Shuh!!!"

ABC commentator Brad Nessler quoted from the classics and said: "What a spectacular move⑴, Frye Yu tied the score difference again with one against two!"

⑴ Commentary when MJ changed hands in the air in 1991.

77 is better than 77
Yu Fei was neither sad nor happy, not even celebrating.

Unconsciously, he and Duncan became each other's appearance.

Duncan is the one who keeps making celebrations to boost the team's morale, while Yu Fei is as immovable as a mountain and always takes action when the Spurs see hope, making the game suspense again.

"Do you think everyone's left hand is as bad as yours?"

Except for the trash talk.

Trash talking is the only quality that separates Yu Fei from Duncan.

Time passed and there were only the last 2 minutes left in the game.

The Spurs first used tactics to launch an attack, which took a full 20 seconds. Finally, Stephen Jackson made a three-pointer and missed.

David Robinson was so powerful that he grabbed the offensive rebound from the crowd with his explosive bounce and passed it out.

Duncan goes up to the high post for a pick-and-roll.

This familiar scene did not arouse the Bucks' alertness, and Parker once again used Duncan's high pick-and-roll to break through inside.Duncan pulled out and bounced two steps inside the three-point line.

That's where he scored on his last offensive possession.

Parker's breakthrough was blocked and he passed the ball back.

Mason was more attentive and proactively moved forward to prevent Duncan's shot.However, the problem of insufficient height caused by his lack of height made Duncan fearless to take action.

Duncan's shot was just like Ewing's bunny jump shot. It had an uncoordinated and funny feeling. When he shot, he felt his limbs shaking wildly. This round was even more exaggerated. When he shot the ball, Duncan was so excited that After his feet landed on the ground, he jumped slightly, as if he wanted to jump to a high place to see how the ball flew into the basket.

"Shh!"

"Tim Duncan's game is impeccable! He has no weaknesses!"

Duncan no longer celebrated, just watched the ball fly, and then quickly retreated.

"How could there be such a player?!" Karl was going crazy. He scored 20+20+9 (blocked shots) in the paint, and sent out 9 assists on the offensive end, even when the team could no longer score. Score a shot?
Yu Fei's performance has been incredible, but this Duncan, this damn Duncan! ! !
Duncan's heart-wrenching shooting made Bucks supporters pessimistic.

Only one person roared.

"Just call it back!" Mason shouted, "Fry, I'll give you a pick-and-roll, call it back!"

"Of course I have to call back!"

Yu Fei dribbled the ball past half court, and the space was opened.

The Spurs know how Yu Fei is going to play. Double-teaming is their only option, and only Mason will be left open.

When Mason's pick-and-roll fell, Duncan chose to double-team early. He wanted to work with Bowen to force a flying mistake on the outside.

Yu Fei's eyes were as bright as a flash, and at that moment when one wrong step could lead to the loss of everything, he stopped his body, slapped the ball into his crotch from behind, lowered his body, and hit the gap between the double teams like a crazy bullfight, causing it to Completely torn.

"!#!￥"

This scene of roaring mountains and tsunami, this suffocating game has reached the last minute. The Spurs' strongest defensive double wall was broken by Yu Fei, leaving only David Robinson in the basket.

The loud shouts from the Bradley Center made the Admiral deaf. He didn't know how he reacted. He only knew that he had to stop Fry Yu.

Yu Fei roared and jumped into the air. Robinson defended passively, raising his hands to intercept the opponent's ball. However, he could not resist the enemy who rushed in at full speed and tried to destroy everything.

In the air, Robinson's body was violently knocked away by Yu Fei, and he was sure that the other party was not feeling well either.

Yu Fei also lost his balance, but the ball with all his strength still hit the basket like a guillotine falling on time at [-]:[-] noon in this out-of-control situation.

David Robinson fell to the ground, heard the referee's whistle, and got his sixth foul of the night.

Yu Fei hangs on the basket like a god who judges everything.

Commit your affairs to the Lord and trust in Him, and He will do it.He will make your righteousness shine like the light and your justice clear as the noonday.

Robinson didn't know if he could get the results he wanted.

But he's exhausted tonight.

Popovich's eyes almost oozed blood. He couldn't believe that his team would be forced to this point by a player under the age of 21.

Robinson fouled out and left the game.

The Spurs requested a timeout.

Popovich replaced him with Malik Rose.

Then, Yu Fei hit and added a penalty.

80 is better than 79
The Bucks also made adjustments. Karl replaced Travis Knight, asked Mason to play the fifth position, and then asked Laettner to play the fourth position to help Yu Fei open up space.

Only 58 seconds left in the game.

Every remaining attack has the potential to determine the final outcome.

Tony Parker's mind was blank, and the instruction he received was to give the ball to Duncan.

Then, he saw Duncan blocking the right waist.

Pass the ball and the Bucks double-team.

Duncan passed the ball out, the double-team spread out, and his teammates passed the ball again. The difference from before was that Duncan's position was deeper.

When the Bucks' double-team came again, Duncan passed the ball out for the second time.

In an instant, Duncan was going deeper.

The ball was sent in for the third time, and now Duncan was already standing in the paint area. He launched an attack the moment he caught the ball.

Laettner on the left and Yu Fei in the right corner, they all dropped their defenders and rushed to the basket.

Duncan took a shot in a thrilling double-team and missed.

rebound?

Duncan was close to the water and grabbed his 24th rebound. Just when he was about to attack for the second time, he found that Yu Fei had blocked the space on his right hand, making it impossible for him to attack with his right hand.

At this moment, many thoughts came to Duncan's mind. He can still attack with his left hand, but this is by no means the safest choice at the moment. What is the safest choice?He followed his custom and threw a pass to Bruce Bowen in the corner.

"No, that's Sprewell!"

Sprewell seemed to be able to predict Duncan's choice and was already running towards the corner before Duncan passed the ball.

The ball that carries the Spurs' hopes cannot be delivered to Bowen's hands.

Sprewell destroyed the ball, then jumped out like a dog and pointed the ball towards the flying position.

Yu Fei caught the ball, and the Bradley Center erupted with a terrible roar. With less than 24 seconds left in the game, the Bucks led by 1 point and had the ball.

"Foul! Foul!"

Popovich wanted to control his players with his voice, but Yu Fei used a change of direction to get past Bowen, who wanted to foul him, and then rushed forward with all his strength.

"Run! Just run!" Mason yelled hysterically. "Now it's time for you to do what you say, Fry!!!!"

Yu Fei has been fighting for a full 47 minutes and 40 seconds. He is exhausted. The fatigue that can make people collapse will make his soul long to retreat to a comfortable and depraved area.

But how could he back down?
Listen to the roar of the audience!Look how much that shameless bastard Mason wants to win the championship, just hold on for another 20 seconds!To hell with weariness and exhaustion!

He has only one thought!
Get in front and slam the ball into the damn basket!Go to hell!Let all the bastards who look down on him repent in front of the championship trophy!
come on!

bring it on! !
Yu Fei rushed through the midfield!

Come to the three-point line!

Enter the paint!
He spreads his wings like a pterosaur and flies high. He wants to show all those who doubt him how the Spurs died!Let them despair at this moment!Let time stand still at this moment!Let the fantasies of all haters be reduced to ridiculous nonsense!
It's now!

"BOOM!!!!!!!!!"

"The Bucks believe that Frye Yu will solve everything! His dunk brought the Bucks' lead to 3 points!"

"Do the Spurs still have a chance?"

Popovich desperately called the final timeout and chose a three-pointer to fight for his life.

However, the Bucks did not let the ball pass to Stephen Jackson or Bruce Bowen.

The man responsible for shooting three-pointers is Tony Parker.

In the last five seconds, Parker made a three-pointer.

"boom!!!!!"

Yu Fei jumped up to grab the long rebound, and without giving the Spurs a chance to commit a tactical foul, he threw the ball into the air with all his strength with only two seconds left.

1.8 seconds,
1.4 seconds,
1.1 seconds,
0.8 seconds,
0.5 seconds. The basketball fell, but.

The buzzer sounded harshly, 82 to 79. The Bucks defeated the Spurs in Game 4 of the Finals and won the championship with a big score of 2 to [-].

has it ended?

Yu Fei had lost his ability to think. He gasped for air and kept looking around.

That was until his teammates rushed onto the court and tackled him to the ground.

"You damn little bastard!" Tyrone Hill yelled, "I love you so much!"

Hill is not the only one who "loves Yu Fei to death"?The teammates around him, the coaching staff off the court, and countless people who care about this game inside and outside the Bradley Center will all fall in love with Frye Yu because of this game.

Surrounded by love, Yu Fei finally woke up from his drowsy state. An indescribable ecstasy made him extremely emotional.

he roared loudly.

Labor and management are world champions! ! ! ! !
