When pride still matters

Chapter 99: How dare you demand respect from others even if you are mentally retarded?

Yu Fei could see that Jaylen Rose was angry, but he was unable to retaliate immediately because his offensive position in the Pacers was not high.

Entering the position battle, the Pacers' highest offensive priority is Jermaine O'Neal who wants to get into position.

Although Isiah Thomas is a terrible coach, he at least knows to ask his teammates to pass the ball to O'Neal who is stuck in position, just like this round.

O'Neal Jr. took the ball with his back to Jasidi White, steadily pivoted with his left foot, raised the ball with both hands, then turned around to face the basket, suddenly released his close-fitting status, and actually moved his hips from side to side like a defender in front of White. He dribbled the ball, then leaned sideways, but at the moment when White used his strength to push forward, he directly used the opponent's strength as a fulcrum to complete a turn that completely threw the defense behind him and cut inside to score a slam dunk.

Beautiful, really beautiful.

Little O'Neal's footsteps made Yu Feigao glance at him.

7 is better than 4
"Garcetti, are you sure?"

White was actually looking for position in the low post, and he was getting there.

Chris Whitney had no choice but to pass the ball, and even Jordan helped him open the ball.

However, Yu Fei does not expect White to break through O'Neal's defense.

White followed the same pattern and turned around, trying to achieve the same result as his opponent.From this scene, it can be seen that O'Neal's defensive habits are not good, and he was actually wiped out by White.However, White's hands and feet were not sharp enough, allowing O'Neal to come from behind and send a big shot from behind.

"Counterattack! Here's the chance for the Pacers to counterattack!"

the Conseco Arena announcer exclaimed excitedly.

Jamal Tinsley was unsheathed like a sword, but Yu Fei's figure followed him everywhere.

Tinsley did not have the absolute confidence to score under the cover of Yu Fei's defense. After attracting people to the basket, he passed the ball back. Rose followed up. He changed hands for a layup, but was stopped in time. Yu Fei turned around and gave him a fingertip cap.

"Where's your shooting, Jaylen? Where's your shooting? Who gave you the confidence to challenge the defense head-on? Stupid offense! Stupid offense!" Thomas roared shockingly, "I'm going to trade you! I'm today I’ll trade you later!”

Yu Fei didn't know what Thomas was like when he was playing, but he was obviously not very good as a coach.

Compared with him, even Doug Collins looks pretty.

It's a pity that although Thomas criticized Rose in every possible way, the Pacers' defensive counterattack was still successful.

Because in the end the ball fell to Tinsley on the outside.

Tinsley is not in a hurry to complete the offense, but waits for others to get into position before giving it to O'Neal.

After playing a few tricks with White, O'Neal Jr. knew White's strength and played more relaxedly. Just now, he showed some footwork to press the bottom of the box to score strongly. Now he actually relies on people to run outside along the top line and inward from the free throw line. A long-distance hook shot came in one step, but it went in.

"Jassidy, fuck you! #￥! #￥"

Jordan cursed.

The same thing happened to White.

Now Yu Fei knows why Jordan and Thomas don't deal with each other. In essence, they are very similar people. As the saying goes, same-sex repels, it is normal to dislike each other.

9 is better than 4
However, after so many rounds, the score difference tends to widen again.

"I'm really tired of jogging with the old guy. Can you give me the ball, Chris?" Yu Fei asked.

Whitney had an expression that said, "You can do whatever you want." Anyway, in Jordan's eyes, he is already a confirmed "Yu Pai".

This time, Yu Fei no longer gave Jordan a chance to play low singles. Before halftime, he used gestures to instruct him to stand still on the baseline.

Although it is not the three-point point that Jordan is used to, as long as he goes there, the Pacers will allocate their hands to watch him.

Then, Yu Fei once again got the opportunity to challenge Rose.

"Don't even think about going in again!" Rose is a player who speaks harsh words first. No matter what the result is, his momentum cannot be lost.

Yu Fei didn't reply, but dribbled the ball and made another Jordan-style cross-crotch forward thrust.

This was clearly a simple move, but Rose just couldn't keep up.

Yu Fei first occupied most of his body, and when Ross reacted, he could completely seize the defensive position with just one collision. At that time, it would be declared that the opponent's defense had completely failed.

"What are you doing?!!!"

Isiah Thomas's roar was deafening, and Yu Fei jumped up after breaking into the paint and forcing O'Neal to help defend, but he passed the ball behind the back to White to score without looking at anyone in the air.

9 is better than 6
Jordan was a spectator for another round. Although he was dissatisfied with Fei's move to monopolize the ball, he sometimes felt that this was not necessarily a bad thing.

He is now troubled by tenosynovitis and cannot exert force when he wants to. He wants to rest but is afraid of being gossiped about. It is a good thing to have a young and strong player like Yu Fei in front.

But he wasn't willing to give in. He just wasn't willing to let Yu Fei seize control of the team so smoothly.

This belongs to him. Even if it is to be given to Yu Fei, he should come forward to grant Yu Fei this privilege, but there is no such process at all, because that bastard Whitney never asks for his opinion when passing the ball to Yu Fei.

"Michael, you seem like you can't run anymore," Miller said. Suddenly, O'Neal's cover fell around them.

Jordan felt bad and wanted to pursue but was already stuck by O'Neal.

Miller caught the ball in an open position, lifted the ball up, and shot the ball in a shooting posture that was full of personal characteristics and extremely ugly.This is a defense that Jasidi White cannot make up for, but Yu Fei has been paying attention to Miller's movements since O'Neal was lifted up.

The moment the Pacers' tactics were completed, Yu Fei had already given up on Rose.

Rose loudly reminded Miller, but when Miller first saw Yu Fei, he found that the defender was still four or five meters away from him and didn't pay attention.When he took action, Yu Fei's bullet speed and defensive coverage area stunned him.

"boom!!!"

With a bang, Miller had one of the scariest blocks in recent memory for NBC commentators.

Yu Fei didn't even touch Miller, but Miller lost his balance when he landed.

After Yu Fei landed, he moved forward at full speed. His terrifying motor skills were fully exposed. He truly changed the game with defense.

9 is better than 8
Yu Fei's consecutive blocks caused the Pacers to miss several attacks. Thomas, who expressed his dissatisfaction with the team being so unscrupulously executing risky defense by a rookie and repeatedly succeeding, requested a timeout.

The Pacers only have a 1-point lead left.

"Enough! Enough! I've had enough of that rookie kicking our butts on the court!" Thomas called out two names from the bench, "Al (Harrington), Jonathan (Bender), you guys change Jaylen and Jeff (Foster).”

On the other side, although Collins was happy to see Yu Fei changing the game with defense, Jordan's inability to integrate into the fast-paced offense led by the former was also visible to the naked eye.

"Tylen, you replace Chris." Collins first replaced Whitney, who only knew how to pass the ball to Yu Fei, and then replaced White, who was completely unable to stop O'Neal, with Kwame Brown.

Yu Fei couldn't understand this substitution. White was already the team's No. 1 in single defense, and Brown was no match for him.

If O'Neal Jr. can beat White as a toy, wouldn't it be a gift if he replaced Brown?

Although Yu Fei was occasionally disrespectful to Collins, he was still convinced of the coach's on-the-spot response. Now that Brown is replaced, it can be understood that it is a dead horse to be a live doctor. After Laettner was injured, the Wizards' inside line is indeed much weaker.

Why didn't I realize that the sword tomb was quite useful before?
Yu Fei thought.

The Pacers saw the Wizards making substitutions inside and continued to pass the ball to O'Neal.

But the strange thing is that Brown was not completely crushed by O'Neal even though he was inferior to White in terms of size and strength.

Yu Fei quickly saw the clues.

O'Neal Jr. is not the type to rely on his body. He beats White because of his flexible feet and quick eyesight. These are Brown's strengths, so Collins took the right medicine and tried Brown as a surprise player.

The result was very good. Brown made O'Neal uncomfortable in the first round.

The shot ended in a strike.

The lack of offense in the first round after the timeout is definitely not good news for the Pacers.

But the Wizards have a Wizards problem. They replaced Whitney, who cooperated well with Yu Fei, with Lu as the coach, and the game changed to a different rhythm.

Whitney's own rhythm is suitable for Jordan, but he likes to pass the ball to Yu Fei.

Director Lu is one of those radical defenders who is extremely fast. Speed ​​is his advantage. Once he is given a chance, he will be so fast that Jordan will not even be able to eat exhaust gas.

"Too fast! Too fast! Why is he so fast?!"

Collins jumped to his feet.

Collins, who wanted a change of pace, made the game move faster.

This doesn't seem to be his fault, because the Wizards only have two pure point guards who can be used at full capacity. If they don't use Whitney, they have to use Lu to guide them.

However, Coach Lu couldn't even control himself when he got up quickly. He missed a fast break layup and missed the opportunity to take the lead.Coming back, the Pacers also wanted to win quickly, and Miller chased a three-pointer.Then, Brown grabbed the defensive rebound and actually directed the pass to Lu.

Coach Lu now knew how to take care of the old man. He rushed to the frontcourt and then stopped suddenly to pass the ball to Jordan who was following up.

Jordan actually also hit a three-pointer.

Do not enter again.

The long backboard popped out and was picked up by Yu Fei. Even he couldn't bear it anymore. He stretched out his finger to indicate to slow down: "Tailun, if you want to tire the old man next to you, just say so!"

Jordan gasped for air and had to hold his waist with both hands. Hearing Yu Fei's words, he felt angry and anxious, but he was unable to speak and could only stare at the past with terrifying eyes.

But Yu Fei didn't care about Jordan's feelings. He looked at Harrington in front of him and said, "Who are you? I prefer to play against the old man."

"Boy, show some respect to me. The reason why you are now a lottery pick is first of all thanks to pioneers like me!" Harrington thinks very highly of himself.

When he said this, Yu Fei really wanted to see how much weight this so-called Blazers' defense had, so he lowered his center of gravity and made a change of direction first, and then no, no more, Harrington looked tall. He also has speed, but his defense is definitely worse than that of Jaylen Rose. Thomas counting on a large forward with his speed who can keep up with him in size to match him is missing the forest for the trees.

No matter how good the talent is, if there is no defense, it will be like a wooden stake to Fei.

With just one change of direction, Yu Fei disintegrated Harrington's defense, suddenly cut inside, collected the ball and dunked, and the Wizards finally took the lead.

Combined with Harrington's previous trash talk, the only information Yu Fei can get is that this person skipped college and entered the league as a high school student, but he spoke so brazenly that he, a junior, was really ashamed of him.

"How dare a mentally retarded defender like you dare to skip college?" Yu Fei couldn't help but said, "It really makes me, a high school player, ashamed!"
