When pride still matters

Chapter 319 I want him to pay back ten times

At the beginning of the fourth game, O'Neal got the ball for the Heat.

In the frontcourt, the two sides opened up. O'Neal caught the ball in the low post, took advantage of the Bucks' double-team to avoid stepping forward, relied on Pachulia's defense, turned around and scored with a hook.

This is O'Neal's ideal state. If he can play like this every round, he believes he can score 100 points.

But his opponents will not give him a chance, and this is inconsistent with his current positioning.

When you are a dog, you have to be conscious of the dog. O'Neal's first goal in the game is just the inertia of the basketball game, allowing the inside to start the game.

The same goes for bucks.

Yu Fei called Kwame Brown to pick and roll, and after waiting for him to pass, he fed the cake and assisted the opponent to score a dunk.

2 is better than 2

Wade dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, faced Bell, and chose to break into the basket from the weak side, but was covered by Pachulia.

Because there were too many people under the basket, Wade could not pass the ball to O'Neal, so he passed through the basket, further causing confusion in the Bucks' defense, and then passed the ball to James Posey at the top of the arc.

Percy said loudly: "It's just luck!"

It wasn't that they didn't want to react, but that Yu Fei caught the moment when their bodies stiffened after the emergency stop.

"Easily!"

Yu Fei didn't bother to refute such sophistry.

Wade is too fast, especially when he changes direction after starting at full speed, it is difficult for Yu Fei to react in time due to his size.

Wade and Posey retreated quickly, but Yu Fei's position was too far forward. Even if they completed their return, they could not form a defensive threat immediately.

Even if Wade has access to an ocean of open space, he still doesn't want to shoot to solve the problem.

Yu Fei shouted loudly, adding more psychological burden to Wade.

To defend Wade, Yu Fei can only resolutely implement the strategy of shooting rather than sudden shots, and he gives Wade a large shooting space, which fundamentally guarantees that he will not be passed by in one step.

Posey hit a three-pointer.

As a result, the two of them were like wooden stubs and had no reaction to the European step layup after collecting the ball.

Wade is so good at leaping forward that even if he forces his way through the defense and is half a body ahead of the latter, his layup is always under the threat of being blocked by the opponent.

Wade, who wanted to regain the field, took the initiative to call a pick-and-roll, allowing Yu Fei to switch in front of him.

Pachulia, who was clearly stuck in position, was overwhelmed by O'Neal's talent. Not only did he take the board off his head, but he also committed a foul while defending the second attack.

Yu Fei grabbed a long rebound outside the paint area and counterattacked on the spot.

This further reduced the Bucks' fear of his shooting.

However, O'Neal behind him is the guarantee for Wade's missed layup.

2 is better than 4

"I told you," Yu Fei said sarcastically, "if you want to guard against me, two people are not enough!"

Whenever Yu Fei laughed at the fact that the Heat couldn't guard him even with two players, Posey would use luck as an excuse.

In terms of defense against Wade alone, Yu Fei was not as effective as Bell.

In the end, Wade cut to the basket at lightning speed, but his layup hit the edge of the basket and failed to hit.

O'Neal fired up Pachulia and scored a layup.

This is a 2+1.

"!!#" O'Neal screamed, turned around and bumped chests with his teammates.

The dog-like O'Neal seems to have found the game that suits him best.

He has never been more impactful against the Bucks.

But now, O'Neal, who specializes in rebounding and defense, and is dominant in one-on-one situations, has really become a thorn in the Bucks' throat.

If Pachulia cannot influence O'Neal mentally, his effect on the court will be very limited.

Karl corrected his mistake immediately and replaced Pachulia with Mutombo.

But this treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Mutombo also cannot defend O'Neal alone, and the efficiency of protecting the basket and rebounds he brings can only last for a few minutes.

Once his strength declines, the Bucks will have to find another way.

"Shh!"

O'Neill made a free throw, 5-4.

O'Neal, who only scored 15 points in the last game, scored 5 points in a row tonight and seemed to be in a very hot state.

This made him forget Yu Fei's terror, and barked at his enemy when he retreated: "When we win the series, you will shut your stinking mouth forever!"

Originally, Yu Fei wanted to deal with Wade first, and then take some time to kill the big fat dog, but now, Wade seems to be in poor condition at the beginning, but O'Neal, in the high spirits of scoring five points in a row, had a "Maybe" I’m okay” illusion.

Only ten seconds had passed since O'Neal started trash-talking Fei, and Yu Fei used a 1-5 pick-and-roll to score in front of O'Neal.

"Are you, a stupid idiot like you, worthy of barking in front of me?"

Yu Fei insulted him directly after scoring the goal.

Referee Bob Delaney gave him his first warning of the night for his harsh words.

Then, O'Neal asked for the ball in the low post. He thought it was another opportunity, but it didn't last long. Mutombo's rough tactical foul sent him to the free throw line. The first penalty is blacksmithing.

Yu Fei said: "You don't want the points I gave you for free?"

O'Neal insisted that he would not be affected and made the second free throw.

"What a stupid dog!"

Yu Fei said this after grabbing the defensive rebound.

Pat Riley was very worried about O'Neal changing back, so he shouted after the players retreated: "Shaq, don't forget your responsibilities!"

However, Yu Fei's counterattack was faster than Riley's reminder.

The moment he rushed to the frontcourt, all the Heat players realized that he was going to chase a three-pointer, so O'Neal was in front, Wade was on the left, and Posey was on the right.

Yu Fei jumped into the air, and blocks from three directions blocked his entire field of vision. He also took advantage of the situation and handed the ball behind his back in the air, throwing it to Kevin Martin who was following up with one hand.

Martin caught the ball, drove it to the basket, and scored as easily as he did during the layup drill before the game started.

5 is better than 7

After Martin scored, Yu Fei turned to Posey, "Is this a lucky shot?"

Percy couldn't answer.

So Yu Fei added: "It's indeed a lucky ball. If you two hadn't brought a stupid dog to guard me, Kevin wouldn't have had such an easy chance to score."

"!@#!￥"

Yu Fei hit O'Neill with every bullet.

The O'Neal who was both a father and a mother at the beginning evaporated.

All that's left is an angry seven-foot center who seems to be possessed by Ewing and Mourning.

The Heat had a wonderful start. Although Wade had a bad start, O'Neal dominated the penalty area.

However, his trash talk made Yu Fei turn on the switch, and then, the world started to spin, and the trend of the game suddenly turned to the most unfavorable side for them.

When Wade missed a three-pointer from the outside and Kwame Brown covered Yu Fei to grab a defensive rebound, Posey's timely tactical foul prevented the Heat from losing points.

However, Yu Fei's naming of O'Neal shattered the Miami people's confidence in the inside.

O'Neal stepped forward and was passed. Yu Fei strode to the basket, jumped nearly one meter in height and then swung an astonishing tomahawk dunk that made the American Airlines Arena wail and marvel.

5 is better than 9

A livid Pat Riley called timeout.

ESPN analyst Bill Walton said: "The last thing Shaq should do is anger Frye. He really can't do that. He should know that he is the player most likely to bring out Frye's full potential."

In the TNT studio, Charles Barkley said with lingering fear: "I said that Michael Jordan is an alien player. Now, I suspect that Da Fei also comes from another planet. He has a terrible ability to mobilize himself. When he needs to, he can turn himself into another person and just carnage on the field like he did in these few minutes. Who can stop him? No one!"

The Heat chose to replace O'Neal.

Riley has already seen that O'Neal is a fool who cares about eating but not fighting. If he can give the team a greater advantage by provoking Yu Fei, then of course there is nothing wrong with doing so.

But obviously, O'Neal's provocation made him lose his energy.

If this continues, the endings of the first and second scenes will repeat themselves.

Therefore, Riley replaced O'Neal early: "You have to think clearly about what we need to do. I won't let you play until you get the answer."

Riley replaced O'Neal with Mourning, then replaced White Chocolate with Payton, and finally said to Wade: "People will not compare you because you beat Frye with the help of Shaq."

"You have to face him like LeBron, even if he scores 70 points and you lose by 50, people are going to respect you and believe you have a future."

"I won't lose 50 points to anyone." Wade said solemnly, "I won't let anyone score 70 points on my head."

Riley looked at this young man who regarded Michael Jordan as his second father. He dreamed of becoming a player like Jordan, which is why Riley kept whispering to him, "You can, maybe, if", like Mima Ito's mother always whispers "Only you can beat the Chinese women's table tennis" before Ito goes to bed.

Wade knew his time had come.

O'Neal was defeated by Yu Fei again, and he needs to lead other veterans to fight back against the Bucks.

At the end of the timeout, Wade faced Raja Bell, made a quick one-step pass, ran to the basket and easily fouled Mutombo, then connected with a difficult pull-up layup and hit the board.

"Now, it's all about Dwyane Wade in Miami!" exclaimed ABC's Mike Breen. "He's going to have the whole pressure of a city and being a franchise player on his back!"

Wade scored a free throw, 8-9.

Bell picked up the ball and threw it to Yu Fei: "You won't just look at him like this, will you?"

"of course not."

Replacing O'Neal may be Riley's most correct decision tonight, or it may be the most wrong decision. This creates a stage for Wade to compete with Yu Fei, but it also gives the first active player to defeat the challenger. Opportunity.

Yu Fei casually took Bell's serve, made the "ISO" gesture half a court away, and said to Bell: "I want him to return it tenfold."

Raja Bell only met the Wizards Jordan.

That sadistic peak Jordan only lives in legend.

But at this moment, looking at Yu Fei's back, he had an inexplicable idea that would make Da Fei furious.

Michael Jordan is still alive, he has not retired, he has always been in this league, he lives in legends, he lives in stories, he lives in Kobe Bryant’s imitation show, he is in Yu Fei’s mind, he is Yu Fei on the body.

They no longer distinguish each other.
