Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters Chapter 801 801 516 A Persons Hell3

Chapter 801: Chapter 516 A Person’s Hell_3 Chapter 801: Chapter 516 A Person’s Hell_3 Why couldn’t he be like Frye?

This question quickly turned to ashes in the Emperor’s heart, burned by jealousy. The man who lived the life of his dreams started effortlessly with his left hand.

Quickly, but not so fast that it caught him off guard.

Jas, with his terrifyingly superb athletic nerves, kept up but was nearly unbalanced by a feint within two steps inside the three-point line.

Yu Fei’s dribbling hand suddenly paused, seemingly a prelude to a jump shot, but it was the beginning of a change in direction with a behind-the-back dribble.

Jas was not fooled, he just couldn’t react correctly. In the mont Yu Fei dribbled, Little Gasol entered the play, a perfect ti.

No one could find fault with Little Gasol’s timing entering the play.

...

As Jas realized, about to clamp down from the side, Yu Fei nonchalantly tapped the ball from behind through his legs. His body surged forward like an arrow, abruptly creating a path through the fragile center of the impending encirclent.

“OMG!!!”

The comntators could not find words to describe the brilliance of that mont.

Yu Fei quickly shook off Little Gasol, but Jas was still behind him. Both entered the paint and jumped together.

However, at the mont of the jump, Yu Fei’s back was toward Jas; he forcefully bumped into him with his back, causing Jas to lose the montum needed to block him from behind. anwhile, Yu Fei used his opponent’s body like a ramp to reach the highest point.

He couldn’t see the basket and had lost all sense of distance, relying only on the mory in his mind to toss the ball skyward.

“Beeeep!!!”

The referee called a defensive foul on Jas, and that ball…

flew above the hoop then beautifully arced toward the backboard, using it to descend into the basket.

“What a brilliant move!!!” Mike Breen roared, “crafted by Frye Yu!”

And there was a free throw.

It was Jas’s second foul.

But the most thrilling mont ca after the basket.

Ignoring Jas, Yu Fei turned and shouted to everyone on the Lakers Team: “This softie can’t guard , bring Kobe over!”

When dignity, pride, and belief get crushed, all that’s left to humans is the beastly nature to resort to violence.

An enraged Jas moved toward Yu Fei, only to be pushed away by DeAndre Jordan.

The two sides started arguing, with referees quickly stepping in to control the scene.

However, the damage was done.

Yu Fei’s insult towards Jas triggered cheers from the audience.

They started hurling various obscenities at Jas.

This was hell aid at one man.

Whether or not Jas was the leader of the Lakers Team, his role as a key player was clear.

Watching him be insulted without the power to retaliate also severely shattered the Lakers’ morale.

Phil Jackson, full of regret, called for a tiout.

The gap had widened to double digits—Jackson had to make a decision.

He took Jas out of the ga.

Though it wasn’t the best ti, the two fouls gave him a reason.

“LeBron, I can’t let you risk racking up more fouls.” the Zen Master said as he had Artest replace Jas.

Jas sat down wordlessly.

Kobe said, “Don’t take it to heart, LeBron.”

Only Kobe could console Jas, only he was qualified.

Because he was the number one man on the team.

Whether Jas accepted it or not, that was the truth.

Unwilling to see pity from others, Jas responded icily, “I’ll be back soon.”

“I know,” Kobe said, “we need you back.”

Was this Kobe’s most emotionally intelligent mont after recruiting Jas? The Zen Master didn’t know.

But this aloof, self-centered, often overly arrogant man did the right thing at Jas’s most vulnerable mont.

The Lakers weren’t done.

Even tonight, their hope was not extinguished.

Tiout ended, both teams returned to the court.

Yu Fei prepared for the extra free throw.

“Is that traitor crying off the court yet?” Yu Fei asked Kobe mockingly.

Kobe said, “LeBron hasn’t betrayed anyone.”

“You ask the Clevelanders if they agree.”

As he spoke, Yu Fei made the free throw.

The ga had moved to the seventh minute, and Jas being subbed off was a chance for the Supersonics.

Tyronn Lue thought about widening the lead, while Assistant Coach Adrian Dantley suggested, “In two more minutes, we can let Frye rest.”

Dantley’s suggestion was simple; it was to give Yu Fei a rest.

This was rare in this playoff series.

Coach Lu imdiately cald down, “Right, Frye is in great form tonight, we just need to play steadily to win.”

At eight minutes, Yu Fei hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer bringing his score for the quarter to 16 points, and the Supersonics’ lead to 15 points.

A few seconds later, Durant committed a foul on Kobe.

Coach Lu subbed in Alonzo Gee and Jermaine O’Neal for Yu Fei and Bosh.

“Frye, take a good rest,” Coach Lu said cheerfully, “gather your energy to score 50 points.”

If Lu didn’t sub himself out, Yu Fei wouldn’t have said anything.

But choosing to do so at this mont was sothing Karl would do.

Because Yu Fei had expended a lot of energy in the first quarter, not only in offense, but he also spared no effort on defense.

So, taking advantage of the big lead to let him rest was the right decision.

Yu Fei went to the bench, looking from afar at the Lakers’ bench.

Jas had already put on his uniform, sitting quietly like a substitute player, occasionally biting his nails.

It was evident he had co around.

Who had administered that quick-acting chicken soup?

Yu Fei thought, as the Lakers’ offense advanced to the frontcourt.

Kobe unreasonably charged to the basket, challenging Little O and DeAndre Jordan in the no-fly zone, forcing the ball in with a layup.

He turned around and bared his teeth at Yu Fei, “Don’t think you guys are secure yet!”

The one who gave LeBron that chicken soup surely wasn’t this guy who just got lucky with a difficult layup and rushed to taunt.

Yu Fei thought.

The Lakers’ montum wasn’t sparked by Kobe’s spectacular play.

Because the Supersonics played conservatively.

Durant attracted the defense at the high post to assist Little O.

Little O worked the low post briefly before suddenly tossing the ball into the air for DeAndre Jordan to happily slam.

This kind of teamwork was frequent at the end of the first quarter, and with a considerable lead, the Supersonics played very steadily, keeping the offensive montum even without Yu Fei.

Kobe played the entire first quarter, and the Lakers’ offensive ga improved after Jas was subbed off, but they still didn’t manage to narrow the gap much.

At the end of the first quarter, the score stood at 36 to 23.

The Supersonics led their opponents by 13 points.
