The Clippers and the Miami Heat's preseason game was exceptionally tense, almost not looking like a mere warm-up match, because the intensity Yu Fei applied on Jimmy Butler significantly increased the competitiveness between both sides.
After watching most of the game, Yao Ming revealed an expression-packed smile from afar, "Damn! Thankfully I'm resting today. It's so fierce — are you sure this is just a preseason game?"
Yu Fei didn't intend to cause such a big stir, but Butler's face truly gave him the feeling of squaring off against a young Jordan.
Currently, Butler was on a rapid rise, but in the Miami Heat, a team replete with formidable players, he was merely a substitute for Ariza.
The team acknowledged his skills, but they didn't have high expectations, since they just needed someone to fill a gap.
Under Fei's tight defense, Butler's techniques had no room to shine. When he tried to regain face on defense, the disparity in talent made him feel powerless.
