When pride still matters

Chapter 212 Richard Hamilton, a deserter from Washington, comes out!

Bradley Center
Although the Bucks' Christmas Day game against the Pistons was eye-catching, they did not play with all their main players.

Ray Allen is still injured, and Sprewell felt discomfort in his left calf before the game and was also rested.

Compared with the last game at the Palace of Auburn Hills, although the Bucks have Yu Fei, they are missing two key main players.

However, Yu Fei's presence makes people dare not underestimate the Buck.

With the recent injury problems the Bucks have encountered, not to mention falling out of the playoff ranks, they should at least be stumbling. However, they ended up winning almost all the games they should have won. Yu Fei's offensive firepower was fully unleashed. This month's average per game 36 points, ranking first in points per game so far this season.

"They're good at scoring," Larry Brown told the Milwaukee media. "We're good at limiting our opponents' scoring."

For Brown, the summer Dream Team journey is temporarily over, and all his energy must be focused on his new team.

Soon, players were dissatisfied with him.

This fits the rumored image of Larry Brown—he treats all his players like dogs.

Among NBA coaches, Brown undoubtedly belongs to a unique category. His experience playing in the ABA as a young man shaped his style.

To some extent, his career in the ABA cast a shadow over Brown. He saw how chaotic and confusing the game could be when the team was not under control. This allowed him to firmly control every ball after becoming a coach. Team.This attitude clearly affected the respect he had for those who served him.

It's not that he doesn't give respect to his players, of course he will, but his respect is only given to those who respect the game.As for what respect for the game means, that standard is up to him.

Brown has three unwavering principles. Players must be dedicated, obey orders, and be patriotic.Although the Dream Team under his leadership swept the US Championships in an invincible manner, he still could not forgive Yu Fei's absence.In his view, this is a man who has achieved the American dream but is not willing to repay the country at all.

The Pistons have the most intense pregame training in the league.

Because Brown is a coach who likes training far more than playing.

He also has the ability to track everyone on the training ground simultaneously.Whenever someone is not doing well in training, he will speak up.

"Chauncy, do you want me to give you a dress?"

"Daben, are you still awake?"

"Rip, the team has been criticized for giving you $7000 million, and you want to prove them right?"

Of all the players, the one Brown dislikes the most is Darko Milicic, the second overall pick selected by the Pistons this year.

The Pistons, like the Trail Blazers 19 years ago, missed out on a nationally renowned future star on the grounds that "I need an inside line", but Milicic was not appreciated by Brown.In other words, Milicic's style is exactly what Brown dislikes the most.

When Brown asked Milicic to hone his inside fundamentals, Milicic refused and invested more in dribbling and shooting that Brown hated.

This intensified the conflict between the two.

Brown put all his patience into Iverson. He didn't come to Detroit to grow up with another Iverson, so he directly killed Milicic on the bench to punish him for his rebellion.

Facing the Bucks today, Brown wanted to give Milicic a chance.

Because the Bucks are very weak inside and Ben lacks a threat on the offensive end, maybe Milicic can bring a little surprise.

As a result, Brown saw Milicic not practicing the basics of blocking, pick-and-rolls, and defensive steps, and even playing a shooting game with Okur, and a fire suddenly ignited in his heart.

"You're a hopeless stupid pig. If you like shooting, go back to your Serbian countryside and shoot as many as you want!"

The Bucks naturally don't know the Pistons' preparations, but Karl is very concerned about tonight's game because the Pistons' defense is extraordinary. If Yu Fei can play without the help of Ray Allen and Sprewell, Let's lead the team to victory, and it will be easier to arrange against them in the future.

Before the game, Yu Fei gave Karl a piece of advice.

"Since our inside line is at a disadvantage no matter what, we might as well start with the lower horses against the higher horses."

What Yu Fei means is that Haslem and Pachulia can be used as starters.

Karl was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you sure Mason and Dan (Gazulic) are top-notch horses?"

"As I said, the old guy is indeed not a top-notch horse, but Dadan is definitely a top-grade horse!" Yu Fei said jokingly, "He is No. 1 in single defense against Duncan."

Indeed, if Duncan averages 25 points and 20 rebounds per game, if there are more people like this, it will not be a dream for Duncan to average 20 rebounds per game in the regular season.

However, since Yu Fei had spoken, Karl had no choice but to agree.

After all, Da Fei can be said to have everything he says in the Bucks. Unless there are obvious problems, Karl usually won't refuse his opinions.

7:30pm

Before traveling through time, Yu Fei had heard about this Pistons team.

Especially if this team is mentioned on a certain forum, some old fans will go directly to the data, saying that they have defended their opponents to below 80 points in several consecutive games.This kind of remarks is usually followed by a slight emphasis on the past and the present, using the iron-blooded basketball of the past to belittle the future small ball era.

Yu Fei didn't feel much about this kind of praise, but when he saw that the Pistons could continuously prevent their opponents from scoring below 80 points, he would inevitably have an idea: How ugly would the game be?

After traveling through time, he found that this could not be described as ugly, the correct word would be constipation.

But if you say that the Pistons' game looks constipated, that is by no means a disparagement of them, because the main purpose of their defense is to constipate their opponents' offense. If you feel this way, it means they have done a good job at their job.

However, Yu Fei watched a few videos of the last game between the Pistons and Bucks. He felt that the Pistons' defense was better than that of the Spurs last season, but it was far from what was legendary.On the surface, at least, there is a glaring hole in their starting lineup.Mehmet Okur, if this person is in the Bucks, he may be of great use to them, but in the Pistons, in addition to reminding Larry Brown of what he did in Philadelphia, he traded Mutombo for Van Horn. Besides this kind of palace-level stupid transaction, I don’t know what else it does.

Based on Okur's existence, Yu Fei judged that the Pistons would have to make a deal in the future, otherwise he really didn't feel that this team's defense was too strong to be solved.

Before the game started, Yu Fei brought Mason to the midfield to say hello to the Pistons.

Only to find that Billups and Big Ben were the only ones on the Pistons side.

What about Hamilton?
Although the two of them only nodded to each other when they met last season, they could at least say hello. What happened today?
Yu Feiting wanted to have a chat with him. Although he had activated the smart groin for an ulterior purpose in DC, Yu Feiting had a lot of thoughts and didn't take it to heart - after all, Hamilton's absence had achieved success to a certain extent. His legendary performance in leading the team to the playoffs in his rookie season - now everyone is no longer with the Wizards, Yu Fei has already led the team to win the championship, and Hamilton also has a bright future with the Pistons, but he didn't even say hello. Agree?

"Rip, don't you want to ask me?"

Yu Fei asked with a hidden smile while shaking hands with Billups.

"I don't know about this." Billups didn't want to get into trouble.

Big Ben was different. He had a bad impression of Fei. This girl had made rude remarks to him when he was still a rookie.

"Rip has taken good care of you in DC, but now he doesn't want to shake hands with you. I think you should find your own reasons." Da Ben looked at Yu Fei warily, "What on earth did you do to make him hate you so much? "

Mason bared his teeth after hearing this, "Fuck you! That guy doesn't even have the guts to say hello, there's obviously something wrong with him!"

Billups and Ben were about to walk back, but Yu Fei stopped them, "Hey"

They look back.

"Tell Rip that I have let go of the past. Since he is so obsessed with it, I have no choice but to remember it with him." Yu Fei said, "I can honestly say that I am not sorry for him. As for him, I am not sure about him." Do you have the guts to say this to me?"

After everyone left, Mason asked: "What grudge is this time?"

Why is Mason a good dog?You can tell by just biting him indiscriminately.

Let's not talk about Yu Fei's irresponsibility. Let's talk about biting people.

Yu Fei rolled his eyes at him, "Didn't you understand just now?"

"I understand!" Mason groaned, "I've never fought in DC, so I don't know what happened between you!"

"He was at least willing to shake my hand before. Today he didn't even go out of his way, but I didn't do anything to him. What does this mean?" Yu Fei thought about it, and there was only one reason. "He was jealous of me winning the championship. ”

Mason nodded in relief: "Okay, that's bastard."

A few minutes later, the two teams started their debut.

The Bucks unexpectedly started with two rookie big men, which caused a lot of speculation among commentators.

The Pistons don't care about the Bucks' lineup changes.

Because no matter how their opponents change their lineups, there is only one way they play.

A jump ball at the beginning and the Pistons succeeded.

Although the Pistons are good at defense, their ability to speed up the fast break is not necessarily weaker than that of strong offensive teams.

Billups quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Before the Bucks' defensive formation was formed, Big Ben had already broken through the middle and went straight to the basket.

Billups threw the ball into the sky, allowing Ben to score a top-[-] alley-oop dunk at the start of the game.

After the dunk ended, Daben pumped his fist happily.

The absolute truth on the basketball court: If you want the inside man to act like a cow or a horse for you, feed him more cake!
"It's a bit unorganized, Zaza, that's not okay." Yu Fei reminded the Georgian.

Pachulia responded repeatedly.

Then, Yu Fei looked at Michael Reid and said, "Get ready to pick and roll me."

I pick and roll?Reed didn't understand.

A few seconds later, Yu Fei dribbled to the frontcourt and suddenly stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to hold on.

Then, Yu Fei suddenly pointed at the Pistons' No. 32: "Washington deserter Richard Hamilton, get out of the queue!"

In an instant, Reid stepped forward to pick and roll, and Yu Fei seized Hamilton's flaw and threw the opponent behind him with a lunge, forcing Ben to come in front of him, and assisted Pachulia for an alley-oop layup in almost the same way.

Yu Fei didn't have much expectations for Pachulia's bounce, and his attention was also on Hamilton at the moment: "Your defense is still as bad as before."

The mask concealed Hamilton's changes in expression.

But if you can zoom in on his face, you can see that his features are distorted with anger.
