Chapter 471: Chapter 323 When Divine Punishnt Cos_3

Just at that mont, Yu Fei was certain he would retire at 35.

He wouldn’t wait to be humiliated by so disrespectful bastard like himself when he was old and decrepit, and retire in disgrace like Jordan did.

No, such a thing would not happen to him.

He knew there was a reason he ca into this world, and he knew when it was ti to leave.

After destroying everything, he would depart.

The point difference returned to 13.

Payton’s buzzer-beating three-pointer was a sweet relief for the Heat.

But Granger’s three-pointer, following a pick and pop, was equally successful.

It was the Heat’s turn again on offense, but Wade’s attempt at a three-pointer from the top of the arc missed.

That was one of his rare misses in the fourth quarter that wasn’t blocked.

Yu Fei grabbed his 15th rebound of the night, and along with his points and assists, he had already unlocked the achievent of a triple-double with 50 points.

Considering this occurred during the Eastern Conference finals, it was all the more shocking.

But now, stats were not important.

They were just a tool for sports writers, journalists, and fans to hype up the player after the ga’s end, they didn’t even have to watch the ga, they could reach an orgasm just by looking at the stats.

And now, Yu Fei was about to create his own climax in the ga.

Wade’s miss led to a fast break by the Bucks, Fei passed to Sprewell, who then passed to Granger, the rising star who was performing better and better in the finals, and he dunked to extend the lead to 15 points.

After that, Wade didn’t get the chance to retaliate, as the Bucks players, under Karl’s guidance, countered the Heat with their own strategy of mindless double-teaming, reaping better results than the Heat.

Because there weren’t many shooters worth paying attention to in the Heat.

Just watch the one with the high shooting percentage, let the others go, Wade could pass to whoever he loved.

This round, Wade’s pass went to Payton, who had just hit a three to revive hope.

But Payton was never a reliable three-point shooter.

The shot, carrying all the hopes of the Heat team, ended in a miss.

Granger grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Heat retreated in defense.

So Miamians began to leave the venue because most of the fourth quarter had passed, but the Bucks were leading by 15 points, and the fans could see no hope of a turnaround.

“Such loyal fans, truly touching,”

Yu Fei said, noticing that many people had left their seats.

The Miamians were already in despair, and the Heat played with a sense of desperation, knowing the chances were few, but not wanting to miss any opportunity to turn things around.

From the mont the team was put together, they were destined to win in the present.

If they didn’t win, they would beco mbers of the Heartbreak Club, like Payton who had given up everything he could for a championship, how could he bear this outco? Or like Alonzo Mourning who should have left the court long ago, yet risked his life to play for a championship, could he accept failure? And finally, there was Shaquille O’Neal, who had given up things in Los Angeles he never wanted to and was still crushed by Fei, considering his age and competitive level, this might be his last ti competing at this level as a major player, he no longer had a chance to prove that he could be successful without Kobe.

Yu Fei got the ball, the man who ca to defend him was Wade.

No more need for screens, Wade was willing to face Fei directly.

But, the Heat would not let them go one-on-one.

As Yu Fei started his move, Jas Posey left Sprewell to double-team.

Then, Payton joined in too.

The Heat wanted to use multiple defenders to confuse Fei’s options and increase his chance of a turnover.

In terms of trapping at the periter, having more people wasn’t always better, as it demanded high coordination, and how many tis had the Heat needed three people to trap soone? The mass of bodies filled Fei’s vision, he accelerated towards Posey’s direction, ca to an abrupt stop, turned, and with the crowd’s cover, used his elbow to push away Payton, and then imdiately sliced open a gap with his dazzling spin dribble.

Every being in the Arican Airlines Arena watched in astonishnt as Yu Fei took on three defenders at the high post, successfully broke through the trap, and stord into the basket.

This city looked up to the deity of Chicago in the 90s, but soon, the deity left.

They had forgotten the divine punishnt and did not know the consequences of opposing a god. So now, when a young god descended, what should they do? This was their ho court, their holand, yet their hero, despite all his efforts, could not save them.

Their defense had vanished, witnessing the young god bring about the professional basketball apocalypse for Miami as he raised the ball high above his head, flew toward Shaquille O’Neal, that decaying, corpulent old god who tried to stop him with a rough foul, only to find his body firmly pinned by the opponent’s arm.

They were destined to vanish in a great explosion!

“BOOM!!!!!!!”

The referee’s whistle sounded sporadically, a few seconds past, and the fans on the scene were shattered, unable to believe that Yu Fei had broken through the triple team and scored a 2 1 dunk over Shaquille O’Neal.

Yu Fei prepared for the free throw, suddenly, he looked toward Wade, his tone cold as he asked, “Is three people enough?”

With 4 minutes and 58 seconds left until the end of Ga 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Miami Heat Team was publicly murdered by Yu Fei.

They never put up a proper fight again and lost this do-or-die match by nearly 20 points.

Post-ga interview

“58 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists? If I say that these stats hardly reflect Big Fei’s role, what would you think?” George Karl, hearing Yu Fei’s appalling numbers, showed the pride of a butler in his young master, “That’s the truth. The things that shape us will never be written on a resu.”

“Hello, please don’t associate Big Fei with us as basketball players anymore.” Kwa Brown said bluntly, “He is the Basketball God, and among the gods of basketball, he is the god of gods!”

“58 15 11? Honestly, this guy just scored 70 points recently, so I really don’t think it’s sothing to hype up. Why don’t we talk about Shaq instead, he’s always had issues with Frye, right? What about tonight?” — Latrell Sprewell comnted on Yu Fei’s “ordinary” stats.

Unlike the Bucks who were falling over themselves to butter up Yu Fei, the atmosphere in the Heat’s post-ga interview was sowhat desolate and self-pitying.

“Hey, if you see any fans who left early outside, please tell them I tried my best, and if I brought them sha, I’ll rest forever with my jersey at the Arican Airlines Arena.” — Alonzo Mourning told reporters.

“I’ve given up so much, running around like a holess person, not to witness the rise of another Michael Jordan!” — Gary Payton complained continuously.

“If this was a ward, then each of us is a patient with terminal cancer, no one can leave alive.” — Pat Riley described the defeat.

(Wade and Shaquille O’Neal both absent from the press conference)

After scoring 70 points against the Knight in the second round, Yu Fei brought another seismic ga to the North Arican sports scene.

Because his stats were too glamorous.

Even Yu Fei, upon seeing his own stats, would be startled, but in the ga, he didn’t feel that his stats were that good.

Because what he did was just a matter of course.

He simply brought the inflated stats of the small ball era into contemporary tis, and shockingly, he was the only player playing under this system.

So, he could be Dončić and he could be Harden, and if soday, his low post skills reached a high level, maybe he could beco Jokić.

However, as long as he continues to impact the ga with his current performance, imitators will soon flood in, and perhaps that era of inflated statistics may arrive a decade or more early.

In the dia interview room, countless journalists wanted to interview him.

Yu Fei randomly pointed to a dia outlet.

“After achieving a triple-double with 70 points and 58 points, do you feel you are the greatest player in history?”

“Let ti decide that.”

“Will you accept the call from Team USA after the season ends?”

“I haven’t made a decision yet.”

“If you win the championship this year, will you stay in Milwaukee next sumr?”

“That’s the third question you’ve asked that only ti can answer. Any others?”

Then, a reporter asked, “Will your grudge with Shaq co to an end after the series?”

“Great, soone finally asked a question that even ti cannot answer,” Yu Fei said sarcastically, “Because no matter how much ti passes, my answer to this question will always be no. Not possible. Absolutely impossible.”

PS: Answering only one question, why so late? Well, I just had a terrible case of writer’s block at the most inappropriate ti. But anyhow, today is not over yet, would you say I finished tonight’s three updates or not.
