When pride still matters

Chapter 221 This person and I are at odds with each other
  After the trade deadline, the Bucks' starting lineup can be said to have a completely new look.

As Ray Allen's replacement, Michael Reed has been in the starting lineup for more than two months. He has performed well as the team's second Kerry pointer. Now that he is traded, Ray Allen needs to get back in touch with the team.

Mutombo's official age is less than 38 years old, but everyone basically treats him as a 40-year-old man. Still, Carr positioned him as a starter to see how it worked.

Another new aid, Shanton Anderson, is a more versatile 3D substitute. He can be plugged and played, so there is no need to worry about him.

Another important point is that in the past two months, Yu Fei has averaged close to 30 shots per game. Although his statistics are very happy and he currently leads the league in scoring with an average of 34 points per game, that is not a normal state. . When the team has a lot of injuries, taking a lot of shots is a sign of loneliness. Now the team needs to spit out his extra shots.

If this were replaced by the Lakers, there would basically be no negotiation.

Spit it out? Why? Why do you want to spit out the right to take action that others have won through strength?

Young Master Yu is easy to talk to, and he is not the kind of person who is obsessed with scoring. Some time ago, due to the continuous injuries to his main players, he has perfected his step-back jump shot and low attack through a large number of shots. Although he is not a great success, he has gained some experience. .

Tonight against the Clippers, Yu Fei's shot count dropped to 19, 10 shots less than before, but his shot selection was more reasonable, basically not shooting from non-sweet spots. Therefore, he efficiently scored 19 points in 32 shots. 8 Rebounds and 7 assists led the team to victory.

Mutombo's performance can be said to be mixed. When he is full of physical strength, he is still a dominant rim protector and rebounder, but this physical strength basically only lasts about 15-20 minutes in a game.

Therefore, he is not suitable to be a starter and is a suitable position as a substitute.

As for Ray Allen, he has just come back and is not in great shape, but the season is still long and the Bucks have enough time to create a chemical reaction.

"I'm very satisfied with our current state. It feels good to get back on the road." Karl said with a smile, "You usually don't have a chance to get back on the road in the middle of the season, but we are a special team and we can do it."

The next game is in Washington.

Returning to his hometown, although there is no trace of Jordan's existence here, the person who made that transaction is still in a high position.

It is necessary for Yu Fei to use an outstanding performance to evoke their good memories.

However, there are not many old acquaintances left in the Wizards.

The only one left who had been a teammate with Yu Fei was Kwame Brown, and the rest have been purged.

Yu Fei was happy for Brown. In the third year of his career, he finally got a stable playing time. Although it was only 30 minutes, this kind of treatment was a luxury in the Jordan era.

Brown was also very excited to see Yu Fei. He had been waiting for opportunities on the defensive end to block shots throughout the game.

Not only did Yu Fei not give him a chance, but he caused five fouls on him. In the end, Brown left the field with six fouls, and MCI booed like thunder.

In the eyes of fans, Brown has no excuses anymore, he is just a parallel import.

Brown is happy to accept this reality. He is a parallel importer, but he is now a happy parallel importer.

"I don't care if Frye scored 40 points tonight or 50 points tonight. What, he scored 45 points? Well, who cares!" Brown said, "All I care about is that he drew five fouls on me! You know Yes, he would not treat Gilbert like this, nor would he treat Jerry (Stackhouse) like this, because he knows who is the key person!"

Brown is already seeking interaction with the media, so Yu Fei naturally wants to respond.

"Yes, the only one I care about in this team is Kwame." Yu Fei did not forget to add, "The others are not worth mentioning."

The second sentence may be a joke, but the first sentence definitely comes from Fei's sincerity.

Since entering the NBA, I have made many friends, but when it comes to true friends, Kwame must be one of them.

It's a pity, this guy seems to be burdened by his draft pick. If he is not the number one pick, based on his current performance, even if he is criticized as a parallel import, he will not be laughed at.

After that, the Bucks narrowly lost to the Timberwolves, easily defeated the Celtics, Heat and Grizzlies, and then challenged the Magic away from home.

This year's Magic is still a team striving for the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

Two years ago, when Yu Fei was just starting out and could only play as a substitute for the Wizards, the Magic had the strongest momentum in the Eastern Conference, a team that was widely considered to win 60 games and shake up the Lakers dynasty as the strongest Eastern challenger every year. They all have the same script.

Just like the Clippers during the jam era, in the early years, everyone said that if they stayed healthy, they would be the number one contender for the championship. The Magic have also heard these words for several years, like a reverse spell cast on Grant Hill.

The more people say that, the less likely Hill is to stay healthy.

Later, McGrady's body began to be overwhelmed.

This year is the last year of the legendary Magic Wheat, and everyone can tell that Tracy McGrady doesn't want to play here. Regarding Tracy McGrady's trade, there is a proposal in the market that seems to have the most impact: trading Tracy McGrady for Kobe Bryant.

Yu Fei still likes to play games with the Magic because he has an old friend here - Tyronn Lue.

Coach Lu has become a homeless man since he was purged by Jordan last season. When he came to the Magic this season, he actually became a stable starter.

It's a pity that this starting resume may be bragging in the future, but at the moment, this is how people brag about Tracy McGrady.

If McGrady averages 30 points per game, the Magic have a chance to enter the playoffs. If McGrady averages 40 points per game, the Magic have a chance to reach the semifinals. If McGrady averages 50 points per game, they have a 10% chance of reaching the conference finals.

The subtext of these unrealistic assumptions is that his teammates are pieces of shit.

As one of the bullshit, Coach Lu tried his best tonight, scoring 11 points and 10 assists. Unfortunately, McGrady "performed too poorly" and only got 31 points and 8 rebounds. From this look, he didn't want to win.

"Oh, man!" McGrady responded frustratedly to those who criticized him for not playing hard. "I don't know what else you want me to do." Time came in March, and the Cavaliers visited the Bradley Center.

Since sending away Ricky Davis in December last year, although the Cavaliers cannot be said to have a completely new look, they can also be said to have changed the soup without changing the medicine. The current record is 25 wins and 36 losses, and there is still hope for a playoff spot. But not big.

今天，骑士在客场打出了精气神，詹姆斯砍下25分7篮板10助攻，比起于飞的38分11篮板10助攻只是略有逊色。

Moreover, what Yu Fei didn't expect was that the Cavaliers' inside line had a clear advantage over their inside line.

Ilgauskas showed the strength of a quasi-All-Star center and scored 20+10.

The most puzzling one is the man named Carlos Boozer.

This guy played like a shorter Nowitzki tonight, making all kinds of mid-range shots.

If it weren't for the outstanding performance of Ray Allen and others, who crushed the Cavaliers' perimeter, they would have been upset tonight.

They say that Cavaliers James 1.0 has no helpers, but that’s not entirely true.

Yu Fei thought to himself and said to James at the end of the game: "If Ricky was still here, we might have won tonight."

"Impossible, he has no chance with us!" James shook his head.

Yu Fei glanced at Boozer, and out of good intentions, said to his little brother: "That guy is good, he will be a good helper for you in the future."

Hearing this, James was not humble and said pretentiously: "King James will protect him under his wings!"

It's so cute, I really want to buy a figure of Zhan Zhan of the same style and smash it with a hammer.

That night, Yu Fei learned that Boozer's agent was Rob Pelinka, and he couldn't tell how he felt.

He only knows that Pelinka is a person who is very good at poaching, and his career took off because of poaching his boss.

But he didn't know what it meant for the Cavaliers.

At the press conference after the game, Boozer said that playing in Milwaukee was a novel experience: "I am very happy. My teammates have provided me with a lot of support. Milwaukee is a special city. They are not very basketball, but They know the game very well.”

"Will you join LeBron James to reverse Cleveland's sports fortunes?"

"I don't care much about the future."

Interestingly, the subject of this question, LeBron James, also has no idea what this means.

After that, the Bucks ushered in an easy six games. The reason why these games are easy is not because of the strength of the opponents, but because five of these six games are played at home.

The first game is the easiest, against the 76ers without Iverson. This year's 76ers are like a vegetable market at [-] or [-] o'clock in the morning. It's noisy and has almost no planning. Iverson called for a trade for a long time but didn't trade it. Now the record is worse than that of the Cavaliers. The chance of the playoffs is slim. They have won consecutive victories on the road. The deer is not even a single enemy.

However, the Bucks did not waste a second to reminisce about this game of brutally beating the 76ers who were both good and bad, because the Atlanta Hawks who rushed to the Bradley Center immediately were even better than the 76ers.

Two days later, the Bucks traveled to Denver for their second game against the Nuggets this season. The Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony is James' number one competitor for the Rookie of the Year award. As the eldest brother, Yu Fei should frustrate this son's enthusiasm and encourage James' momentum.

As a result, the Nuggets had the advantage of home court and were a team that could compete for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. They were not considered a weak team. In addition, the Nuggets sometimes suffered from altitude sickness. In short, the Bucks lost. But Yu Fei thought he had nothing to lose. He scored 35 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Although he cannot say that he gave 100% of his efforts, he definitely used 80% or 90% of his efforts. However, his teammates had a problem with their thinking. What can he do to show his filial piety to the people of Denver tonight?
  Anthony not only scored 20 points on 11-of-31 shooting, but also had 5 rebounds and 9 assists. At least tonight, the media cannot say that James is a more comprehensive player than him.

"I'm the Rookie of the Year." Anthony said confidently, "I've always thought so."

After that, the Bucks defeated the Knicks and Suns at home, and then ushered in a heavyweight opponent-the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers themselves have their own traffic, and the feud between Yu Fei and O'Neal has become a major attraction in the NBA.

Yu Fei had just snatched O'Neal's AMVP in Los Angeles, adding a new grudge between the two parties. Naturally, this meeting would not be a good one.

However, for the Bucks, there was very unfavorable news before the game even started.

"I have good news and bad news," a glowing George Karl said before practice this afternoon.

Yu Fei said on behalf of everyone: "What's the good news?"

"Kobe did not come to Milwaukee for training with the team today."

In order not to reveal his identity, Yu Fei, a four-day veteran, said: "I love the Eagle County Sheriff's Department!"

"What about the bad news?" Mason asked.

Karl said: "Although Kobe can't make it to practice, he can make it to tonight's game."

The legendary Kobe Bryant was rushing to the game, so we met him like this?
  There was an awkward silence at St. Francis Training Center.

Chun Kemi had no choice but to speak harshly to her idol again to further conceal her true identity: "You said that a good person must rape others. This person and I are incompatible with each other!"
