On November 26th, the Wizards hosted The Celtics in their second battle of the season.
Currently, The Celtics have a record of 5 wins and 5 losses, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference, while the Wizards are at 3 wins and 8 losses, ranking thirteenth. Keep in mind, before the season started, authoritative media had the Wizards pegged as a playoff team, yet now they only rank thirteenth in the Eastern Conference.
The Wizards, who had faced eight straight defeats, were determined to win this game, just like the previous eight matches.
Wanting to win and being able to win are two different things.
Before the game started, Doug Collins made tonight's strategy clear: it would be based on defense.
Yu Fei felt dizzy when he heard this strategy.
Given that our Wizards' first core is the 38-year-old Jordan, the second core is defensive sieve Hamilton, and the two regular starting inside players one is slow, and the other is soft, then you want to compete with The Celtics, who truly use defense to sweep away the shadows of the Pitino era, to see whose defense is more ferocious?
This strategy seemed like a good idea that could smoothly hand the Wizards their ninth consecutive loss!
Before the game, Yu Fei could clearly feel that Jordan was not comfortable in his body.
It's the same old problem, his tendonitis.
This issue has always been there, only masked by Jordan.
Tendonitis is an injury that can only be slowly healed by the patient getting complete rest, but Jordan has been present in every game this season, playing over 35 minutes each, not one of his appearances during the recent eight-game losing streak was under 37 minutes. Collins is the only person who could save him in this aspect, but he betrayed the Lord in front of Jordan, even though he is a firm believer in the "Bible".
He had only two choices: risk creating a rift with Jordan by forcibly controlling his playing time or pretend that Jordan's body would be forever young.
For Collins, offending Jordan would never be one of the options.
Yu Fei originally thought Jordan's tendonitis would mean more playing time for himself, but he was wrong; this is Jordan, a tyrant who only ever shows his strength. But even the strong have to contend with the effects of tendonitis, which are persistent. Twenty years later, when Leonard sat out countless times for unclear reasons, giving up games, when James managed his "intellectualized groin," fans generally took a mocking and sarcastic attitude towards this kind of behavior.
And Jordan? He could have activated "intelligent tendonitis," resting against strong teams and going all out against weaker teams, but he didn't.
The Wizards, playing at home, ended their losing streak with an ugly victory.
Yu Fei played 26 minutes tonight, scoring 14 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, and his game-winning shot brought his shooting percentage up to 50%.
Apart from Kwame Brown off the bench, Yu Fei was the only player who shot 50% in the game.
"Happy Thanksgiving, we love you, Frye!!!"
"Flyyyyyyyyy...!!!"
The fans expressed their love excitedly, and Yu Fei smiled and waved back to them.
Subsequently, NBC's courtside reporter Benjamin Schneider expressed his desire for a brief interview.
Yu Fei agreed, as he too had some things to say.
"How does it feel to break the losing streak?"
"Pretty good,"
"This is the second time since the season opener that you've made the winning shot in a game. In the history of the NBA, no rookie has ever become the key man of the team in such a short time."
Yu Fei didn't need this custom-tailored data, so he responded, "I only did a small piece of work."
"You played 26 minutes tonight, which is the most in your rookie season. What does that mean to you?"

"It means nothing," Yu Fei's tone and attitude noticeably changed, "I'm still a substitute."
Schneider, being an experienced reporter, immediately thought of the next question to ask from Yu Fei's "led" answer.
It wasn't in the plan, but since the player wanted to make a big news story, as a journalist, whoever delivers the traffic is God. And what reason would he have not to cooperate?
