If Yu Fei had to choose between the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks to advance, he would definitely choose the Warriors on an emotional level. This isn't because the Dallas People have repeatedly declared over the past half year, "Our championship was stolen by Milwaukee. If the officiating had been consistent, the Mavericks would have won last season's championship."
It's because the Warriors team includes Vince Carter. Aside from this factor, there's also the Warriors' head coach Don Nelson, who has publicly stated on numerous occasions that Yu Fei is his "ultimate player" in his mind.
Yu Fei and this renowned coach have never crossed paths, and considering his reputation over the past few years, lavishing such praise on him wouldn't bring any tangible benefits.
Thus, Nelson's admiration is likely genuine.
