When pride still matters

Chapter 205 Shaq Did It Too

"Is Fry so chivalrous?"

Christina asked the people around her.

A person who truly understands chivalry may feel that she has some misunderstanding about chivalry, but the Bradley Center is full of licking dogs.

You said Da Fei has the spirit of chivalry?That's for sure.

"It has to be! Frye is the most chivalrous person in the league!"

So many people like him, what a charming man he is.

Payton wasn't the type to be intimidated by a few words.

If Yu Fei doesn't want to hear his dog barking, then he will really regard himself as a dog.Moreover, he will become the most barking dog in the world, just like those bad dogs that bark non-stop in the middle of the night and prevent people from sleeping.

This is Payton, the Payton that fans are familiar with.

But Payton didn't know much about Yu Fei.

Last season's game between the SuperSonics and the Bucks was peaceful, but now that Payton has come to the Lakers, he has passively inherited the grievances between the two sides.

The war between Yu Fei and O'Neal has not yet begun, but Payton has become the target first.

In Yu Fei's eyes, Payton is an old dog that needs to be severely repaired.

As it turns out, pissing off Yu Fei was Payton's worst decision.If he is in a team with him as the core, maybe he can compete with Yu Fei.

But he's on the Lakers, which is an OK team.

Payton, like Malone, knew from the day he signed that he was here to hug someone.Since they are hugging their thighs, they must have the consciousness of hugging their thighs. The team will not build tactics around them. Instead, they need to gather around OK like a dog-legger.

When OK became dysfunctional due to feuding, the Lakers also did not prepare a backup plan for Payton and Malone.

For the Lakers coaching staff, OK is the cornerstone of the championship. Now they are enemies. Maybe they will reconcile after a while. Payton and Malone just need to wait.

This means that if Payton needs to defend his dignity as the best point guard of the previous generation, he will not get the support of the team. He needs to rely on himself as much as possible. Maybe Malone's pick-and-roll can bring some help, but external forces After all, it is limited.

Returning to the defensive end, Yu Fei once again prevented Payton from scoring a goal.

Then, when chasing defense, Payton was given a nail plate cap.

Moreover, Yu Fei never said that he would rely on his own strength to block Payton.

Therefore, Sprewell, who was originally opposite Payton, was one of Yu Fei's helpers.

With the help of Sprewell, Yu Fei allowed Payton to fail to achieve success in several consecutive rounds.

Moreover, his offense also gave the Bucks several opportunities for defensive counterattacks.Even when it comes to positional battles, the defense he is so proud of comes in front of Yu Fei, but the effect is also reduced sharply due to the physical gap.

After half a quarter of the game, ABC TV commentator Doc Rivers (who had just finished class) said: "This is the biggest difference between offense and defense I have seen in recent times. Frye completely tore up his gloves!"

When the game entered a timeout, George Karl was also in disbelief because Payton was beaten.

"I've never seen Gary beaten like this." Carl lamented.

Assistant coach Ron Adams said: "It's hard to believe, but I feel like Frye's training in the summer helped him make great progress."

Karl was surprised. In terms of strength, Yu Fei is already one of the top ten stars in the league, but in terms of honor, he was the No. 1 player in the league last season. Even if his strength remains unchanged, it is enough.

But is he still making progress?
"Larry (Brown) will be very angry if he hears me say that." Karl smiled slyly, "If Frye's special training is so effective, then no one will even go to the national team!"

On the other side of the court, Phil Jackson was chilled by the performance of his Soul Searching Team.

It's just a mess.

There was nothing Jackson could do about the situation because it was spiraling out of control.This super team, which was infinitely optimistic by the outside world, seemed to him like someone forcing himself to swallow four bottles of poison.

His opinion was not asked from the beginning to the end of the formation of F4.

Buss Sr. likes stars, Buss Jr. pursues stars, O'Neal and Kobe both want a super team, Malone wants to join a team that can steadily win championships, and let Payton dedicate his soul and superstar dignity to join the Lakers. The only reason is that no one can beat this team. Since no one can beat it, then join and earn rings, why not?
Jackson liked the addition of Malone, but he didn't like Payton.In other words, he doesn't think Payton can play the triangle offense well.

Although Payton said that he could master the triangle offense in one week, a few months later, Payton was more out of place than Chen He in "Love Apartment 5".This was something Jackson had expected.The triangle offense requires the point guard to give up the ball to the wing and inside line. The only thing the point guard has to do in the system is to carry the ball across the half court, pass the ball, and shoot three-pointers.These tasks can be accomplished without a star defender.

Fisher had done a great job before, and now he was forced to sit out and watch Payton occupy his starting spot while acting like a piece of shit.

No one can blame Payton. From status, to salary, to tactical weight, Payton has given up everything he can give up, but he just didn't play well.And this has nothing to do with him. The triangle offense is naturally at odds with those point guards who are aggressive and hold a lot of the ball.

Jackson had foreseen Payton's acclimatization, but no one expected that he would be beaten to a pulp by a junior like Yu Fei like today.

In front of Yu Fei, Payton did not show the legendary "Museum of Dirty Words". He once showed Yu Fei some of the contents in the museum, and then he was severely beaten.

When Payton talked trash about Yu Fei's fierce red-haired girlfriend, Yu Fei immediately confronted him, then scored on his head one-on-one, and added: "If you were half as strong as your mouth, I would have been a long time ago." Winning the championship.”

When Yu Fei blocked Payton, he also wanted to be doubly humiliated: "You can't even satisfy the bitch at my door. You have nothing left except a foul mouth!"

This reminded Jackson of how Yu Fei angrily humiliated O'Neal for making racist remarks against the Asian community when the Lakers played against the Bucks for the second time last season.

Jackson missed that game because of health issues, but he watched the game tape afterward.

Yu Fei reminded Jackson of an old friend in every way.

Not Jordan, but Willis Reed, his old teammate in New York.

His courage, his domineering, his character and ruthlessness towards his enemies, now, the same thing happened to Payton.

Payton’s flame was extinguished. 19 to 12
Led by Yu Fei, the Bucks lead the Lakers by 7 points.

Payton's performance was disastrous, making 4 of 0 shots in a single quarter.

Jackson didn't replace Payton until his dignity was ruined.

For Jackson, a cocky Payton does the team no good.Maybe Yu Fei did a good thing and being ruthlessly torn apart on the court made it easier for Payton to accept his status.

After the timeout, the Lakers replaced Fisher, and the Bucks replaced Ray Allen and Mason with Reid and Laettner.

Although Fisher's personal ability is not as good as Payton's, as soon as he came up, the Lakers' triangle offense began to work.

The only thing that didn't work was Kobe. He had already separated himself from the team. As long as he got the ball, he would play his own way.

Double-teamed by two people?

Is it just double-teamed by two people?This is a good opportunity.

Kobe made a strong three-pointer from the outside.

"Shh!"

19 is better than 15
He made the shot, and no one could fault him.

Except, of course, O'Neal.

"If you fucking play like this again, you will finish this game by yourself!" O'Neal threatened, "You don't need teammates anyway!"

The Bucks players were shocked.

What kind of person can say so confidently, "If you keep pushing yourself like this, I won't defend or rebound?"

Yu Fei had only one feeling.

You really don’t take these brothers seriously. We compete with you so seriously, but you have internal strife on the spot?
It is indeed a team scheduled to win 75 games and win the championship. If Master Yu hadn't come from time travel, he might not have truly believed in the evil of F4.

Yu Fei dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and was about to make a tactic.

Unexpectedly, Kobe actually took the initiative to leave Ray Allen to defend himself.

What does he want to prove?The offense is one against two, but the defense is still at the forefront?

Yu Fei still has no ill will towards Kobe. After all, he is a four-day old Kobe. Even if his Kobe identity is not considered, watching Kobe's tricks to be a tumor is still a great pleasure in Lakers games.

"Why didn't that fat pig come to guard against me?"

Kobe said bluntly: "He doesn't dare."

This amused Yu Fei, and the murderous aura inspired by Peyton was reduced by more than half.

Yu Fei returned a pass to Sprewell.

"You guarded me, go back and take credit." If Kobe didn't give O'Neal a face, Yu Fei vowed to beat him in the next round.

Sprewell passed Fisher with lightning speed and broke into the inside line in a diagonal line.

O'Neal hesitated and did not dare to step forward, and Sprewell easily scored 2 points.

As it turns out, Comey can always trust Kobe.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Kobe roared like thunder.

Yu Fei felt that he had found the joy of playing against the Lakers. In the past, he just wanted to settle accounts with O'Neal. Now, watching Kobe Bryant and O'Neal talk to each other is simply enjoyable.

A racist fat pig and a pretentious cancer fall in love and kill each other, and the effect of this show is priceless.

Unfortunately, O'Neal only played 9 minutes before being replaced, while Kobe and Yu Fei played the entire first quarter.

After O'Neal came off the court, Kobe presided over a period of offensive, which was quite decent, with good defense, strong offense, and organizational performance. He finally looked like a master player.

On the Bucks side, in addition to stabilizing the situation, Yu Fei also paid attention to Reid.

Since Ray Allen apologized, Reid has also died down.

In the last two games, he has not turned into a ruthless offensive machine like he did in the opener.

This makes Yu Fei look forward to the progress of the game after he comes off the field.

In the last attack of the first quarter, Kobe left Yu Fei wide open because of the lack of rigorous defense he explained to his teammates.

Yu Fei accepted it directly and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer.

O'Neal jumped up, as if he had caught Kobe's lack of defense.

Even Kobe was upset that he had made such a mistake.

As a result, Yu Fei actually said to him: "Don't mind, it's just not defending, Shaq did it too!"
