Yu Fei quickly proved that Bavita had no intention of blacking out the Bucks like he did with the Kings to the point of heartbreak.
The proof was the high intensity shown towards the other 76ers.
As a result, the whistle didn't blow.
The untouchable boundary was reserved for Iverson alone.
The message was clear, now no one could play tough on Iverson, so the number of points he would score was entirely up to him. If he lost under these circumstances, he could only blame himself.
Unfortunately, Iverson's shooting feel was off today, and although his break-throughs were easy, each time he approached the basket he met with interference from the taller defenders.
If you can't touch him, don't touch him, after all he is short, there's always a way to interfere a little bit.
Using the officiating standards to his advantage, Iverson managed to achieve an extremely high field goal percentage under the rim, but his teammates were equally unable to withstand the Bucks' assault.
