Yu Fei and Duncan were like two different styles of the same thing.
Duncan embodied the spirit of the millennium, resilience, and team-first philosophy, advocating for "one more pass" in basketball.
Guided by Yu Fei, the Bucks, also looking for open shooting opportunities, played a different kind of basketball.
Duncan did not hold the ball long; he was part of the collective, though the most important part, he was still one among many.
But Yu Fei was everything to the Bucks.
He controlled the ball, called for screens, and dominated the initiation of each play and most of their conclusions.
In terms of shot attempts, Yu Fei was not selfish.
However, his usage rate was astounding.
This style of play challenged the views of purist basketball scholars; the essence of team sports was disrupted, turning the Bucks' games into essentially a cake-cutting exercise, with Yu Fei holding the knife, giving a piece to whoever he wanted.
