“Will the Supersonics retract their decision within a few minutes? Three minutes? Five minutes?”

“I may upset a lot of people with this, but I want to say that Frye is Frye, and LeBron is LeBron, what LeBron can’t do well, Frye might not necessarily fail at.”

The last statement was made by TNT’s Doug Collins.

This once staunchest of Jordan fans, now universally regarded as a Yu Fei enthusiast, together with Jeff Van Gundy, they were dubbed “The Media’s Two Titans” by Yu Fei’s fans.

The Lakers’ lineup remained unchanged, still assigning Ron Artest to the power forward position.

The Supersonics opened with the offense.

Yu Fei stepped forward to set a screen for Roy, then rolled quickly.

Roy passed the ball.

Artest made a serious misjudgment in defense, thinking that Yu Fei playing the power forward position definitely wouldn’t play like a traditional power forward.

But Yu Fei used facts to tell him that he was indeed playing the role of a traditional power forward.

Screen-and-roll, catch, and dunk, all in one fluid motion.

“Maybe you should stick to playing power forward; you’re quite suited for it,” Roy said sarcastically.

Yu Fei snorted, “You can talk after you trade Chris away.”

Next, Kobe played one-on-one on the outside.

Roy’s defense was impeccable, no matter how much Kobe tried to shake him, he didn’t lose position.

Kobe had no choice but to forcefully pull up for a shot just inside the three-point line.

It was the most unreasonable shot selection on the court, but Kobe made it.

Pure talent basketball, leaving no room for discussion.

Yu Fei began to cause trouble for the Lakers’ defense.

Before Bosh’s return, the Supersonics’ power forward spot was considered an insignificant position. But now, Yu Fei, the Supersonics player who needs the most attention, suddenly played power forward. Would his opponent pay attention or not?

Yu Fei’s screen-and-roll was so skilled that no one would believe he was playing power forward temporarily.

Artest was only thinking about physical confrontation, completely failing to keep up with the strategy.

After setting the screen, Yu Fei received the ball, and in less than a second, passed it off like playing cards to Durant’s hands.

Durant made a jump shot, ignoring James’ feigned interference, and scored a clean hit.

56 to 58
“It looks like the reason we played like that in the first half really was Ron Artest’s problem?” Yu Fei asked teasingly.

Durant denied, “It’s a power forward problem.”

“So it really is Artest’s problem,”
Durant: “…”

James still didn’t take Durant seriously, even though his camp generally considered Durant a threat to LeBron’s status as Nike’s leading figure among the younger generation. But just the thought of Durant acting subordinate when facing Yu Fei made it clear that there was no chance he could disrupt the current hierarchy.

This inadvertent condescension led to James’s drive being blocked by Durant.

The Lakers quickly fell back on defense, but the counter-attack wasn’t successful.

Yu Fei said, “Nice defense, reward him with a ball.”

Roy immediately passed the ball to Durant.

Even being part of the same company, Durant and James couldn’t really be considered allies due to the evident competitive relationship between them.

Suddenly given the opportunity to challenge James, Durant’s excitement was evident; in a moment, he dribbled, shook, and moved to the left– all these actions reminded James of Yu Fei.

But it was the finale, where Durant’s long legs exaggeratedly crossed over in front of James, successfully shaking off the defense and taking the shot.

“Swoosh!!!!!”

Durant turned around, punching the air, trying to look fierce.

Yu Fei laughed at this.

“That’s his real strength,” the owner of the empire commented, “That didn’t look like him in the first half.”

Durant heard it, and defended himself, “It’s a power forward problem.”

“Shut up, admitting the gap is the first step to becoming a strong player!”

The Supersonics and Lakers were filled with stars, and the roster had expanded to a point where one ball wasn’t enough.

In such a scenario, whose star performed better, whose weaknesses were smaller, had become the key to victory.

The Lakers were the team that showed dominance in the first half, and even though Kobe was off for a while, James played the passing game for a bit, those who needed to perform did. In contrast, on the Supersonics’ side, only Yu Fei fought alone.

Durant’s flame-out was key.

In the second half, Durant unexpectedly revived.

The Lakers made their move, with Kobe again.

Starting the second half, the Lakers inexplicably entered a cycle of star isolation plays.

Fortunately, Kobe’s state was different from the beginning; his shots looked forced, but they went in.

But how long can such offense last?

Yu Fei’s turn to call the play arrived.

Artest was only normal in physical confrontations and defense tonight, but even a normal Artest couldn’t stop Yu Fei.

Suddenly, Yu Fei backed into Artest demanding the ball, pushed hard up the line but span to the baseline in the moment Artest shifted his weight.

Perfect footwork – it wasn’t a play for the highlight reels like Olajuwon schooling David Robinson, but a swift and efficient attack within a second.

Artest, after all, was not natively a power forward; he was forcefully assigned to that role by the Zen Master.

This meant that when his defense was broken, he reacted with a typical perimeter defense response.

Too much physical contact led to him fouling, while Yu Fei was unaffected, charging under the basket for a slam dunk.

“Power forward version of Frye seems different from the power forward version of LeBron…,” Jeff Van Gundy asked with a chuckle, “What exactly happened?”

Mark Jackson, a master of post play among guards during his playing days, even leading to the NBA implementing the five-second back-to-the-basket rule because of his extended back-downs from the three-point line, instantly recognized the difference in talent between the two.
