Kidd considerately called a timeout for James.
"I really don't know what kind of chance we have if we keep playing like this," Boozer complained, "Who can stop Frye?"
Howard laughed and said, "He won't come inside, or else I could try."
"It's impossible to guard him one-on-one," Prince said, "We need to double-team."
Kidd then said to James, "LeBron, I don't think you're ready to face him yet."
To James, this statement sounded absurd, but his performance on the court proved it. Whether intentionally or not, he was indeed avoiding a head-to-head confrontation with Yu Fei.
He could comfort himself by saying it was strategy.
But no matter how much he avoided it, being blown out by Yu Fei right in front of him and continually humiliated by his trash talk, it would look too bad if he didn't respond.
"His defense is all fouls!" James complained, "And with the zone defense, I'm actually facing the entire White Team!"
