Annual Showdown: Li Fei vs. Jordan Again!

"We've all been praising the Knicks' defensive rotations, praising Van Gundy's tactical system. But now we have to reexamine all of it. Without Li Fei, Allan Houston is a defensive sieve, Latrell Sprewell relies on shouting to play defense, Larry Johnson is long past his prime, and Sabonis is slow-footed. With a lineup like this, how did they produce the best defense in the league?"

"There is only one answer: Li Fei!"

Walton's voice grew more impassioned. "He built a No-Fly Zone in the paint. He used terrifying help-defense coverage to blanket the entire half court. Time and again, he tirelessly switched assignments to make up for his teammates' positional holes! He's like a guardian god with eight arms, holding up an entire sky by himself!"

"This conclusion... is truly terrifying when you think about it."

Kevin Harlan murmured, "The more we study him, the more we analyze him, the more we discover just how frightening he is. He isn't merely dominant statistically. The overall boost he gives a team has already surpassed anything any of us could comprehend. He is a system—a super system capable of turning a group of ordinary players into championship pieces!"

Just as the entire league was being shaken by Li Fei's astonishing and terrifying impact, the other Eastern Conference semifinal finally came to an end.

That game had been just as passionate and suspenseful, with two powerful teams engaging in a thrilling showdown.

Holding match point, the Chicago Bulls traveled to face the Miami Heat.

The Bulls could already smell advancement. With their wealth of experience, they gave their opponents no further chances. Jordan and Malone took over from the opening tip.

Jordan scored 35 points, while Malone steadily contributed 22 points and 12 rebounds. In the end, the Bulls defeated the Heat
