Chapter 236 The Best in Team History

Qin Fei didn't want to be some kind of abusive little prince, he was really a trick of creation.

Right now, the Suns are strong on the outside and weak on the defense, and they don't have too much ability to protect the frame inside. It is the most correct choice to strengthen the breakthrough and complete the overall tearing of the defense.

Under such a frantic bombardment, Qin Fei scored 17 points in the first quarter of the game, breaking out in a single quarter.

After Schramf truce due to injury, Qin Fei's proportion of offense with the ball increased significantly. Angie was dumbfounded. Isn't the Suns lacking a wing scorer now?

Qin Fei performed outstandingly, and George Karl made appropriate adjustments, allowing Qin Fei to play the entire first quarter.

So as soon as the second quarter came up, Qin Fei took a break, and Payton, as a player who rested early, played at a staggered peak in the second quarter.

After Nash came on the stage, I looked at it, good guy, we must guard against "Glove" Payton

Nash's characteristic is that he is quick and quick, his shooting is very accurate, and his passing is more spiritual. Even if he plays on the substitute lineup, he can't conceal his heroic spirit.

This year is the second year of his professional career. Compared with last year's bamboo pole figure, this year's figure has not changed much.

Payton is also very thin, but Payton is very strong, and Nash is far behind Payton in strength.

The two paired up, and Payton broke through and caused Nash to foul again.

The fans at the scene were dissatisfied. They called the Suns a lot of fouls in the first quarter, and they called fouls again in the second quarter.

so boos

Payton has experienced strong winds and waves, this little booing is nothing, his face does not change his face and his heart does not beat

"The Phoenix fans are okay, they are very enthusiastic."

Off the court, Qin Fei was a little surprised when he looked at the boiling crowd around him.

"Phoenix has always been like this. The fans here are very enthusiastic, and the team market is not bad, so over the years, a good team culture has been formed."

Bob Weixi on the side introduced Qin Fei's basic situation. He has been in the league for many years, and he knows all this information.

"Jason Kidd and a group of running and jumping players of the Suns, if they switch offense and defense faster, the record may be better."

Bob Withey has always supported the team's increase in offensive and defensive speed. When it comes to the Suns' tactics, it obviously took a lot of research.

Qin Fei felt that the Suns had a good atmosphere, but he didn't have much of his own opinion on the Suns' tactics.

He felt that he would definitely be the kind of super player with his own system in the future, too much research on tactical fit was useless, the most urgent thing was to listen and watch more, and gain more knowledge.

Nash's hand speed is very fast, and it was like a gust of wind during the fight against Payton.

"Son of the Wind"

Qin Fei remembered Nash's nickname later. In fact, Nash had already shown such characteristics in the early days. However, under Angie's command, Nash was just an insignificant substitute.

Nash played a small half of the game and made some wonderful passes, most of which were used as an outside fort to tear the defense.

"Don't let him shoot!"

After Nash hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc, George Karl made it clear to expand the defensive area to avoid falling into the Suns' offensive rhythm prematurely.

Nash off, Kidd on.

At this time, Qin Fei also took a rest and reappeared.

Facing Qin Fei was pitcher George McLeod who was given high hopes.

How could he guard against Qin Fei? In the first quarter, Qin Fei scored 17 points, and most of the blame was on him.

In this quarter, he was facing off against Qin Fei again. George thought about how he should defend himself, whether he should get another foul directly, and then he could rest.

This was a complicated thought, and when they got on the stage, they disappeared completely, and the only thing left was to fight with all their strength.

Qin Fei rested for half a quarter, and Payton just attacked for half a quarter. As soon as Qin Fei came on the field, Payton called Qin Fei to catch the ball.

Payton and Camp are both on the strong side. After giving the ball to Qin Fei, the two became players on the weak side to open up space. Qin Fei faced George one-on-one.

Qin Fei's one-on-one performance in the first quarter was very effective. This time, Qin Fei chose to turn his back first.

George is different from the previous Rex. Rex is a short and thin guard, and George is at least 1 meters tall. It is entirely possible to resist.

Backing up does not necessarily mean really backing up, it is to protect the ball and get better space.

George bent his arm to block Qin Fei's back. Qin Fei leaned back, spread his feet to find a reasonable position, then immediately turned halfway around, dribbled the ball under his crotch, and switched to his left hand to complete the breakthrough.

It was too late for George to change his focus, and Qin Fei slammed into him brazenly. Obviously, he still had a strategy of bullying his poor physical fitness.

Qin Fei's collision, attacking in a straight line, originally planned to fight physically, which is the so-called "confrontation first and then breakthrough". If the defensive player's movements are deformed, he may be called a defensive foul.

George couldn't stop him either, so he immediately got out of the way. Qin Fei walked in and was double-teamed.

George hurriedly chased after him, but Qin Fei actually slowed down and waited for him. He couldn't stop suddenly and bumped into Qin Fei's body. At that moment, Qin Fei jumped up and shot, with a weird posture.

It was not a regular shooting action, and it looked like it was violated, and the referee subconsciously blew the whistle.

The goal was scored, two plus one, and the audience was in an uproar.

On the Sonics bench, Bob and George Karl were also discussing the whistle.

"After the All-Star Game, Qin Fei's efficiency in getting the whistle has improved significantly."

George Karl used the word efficiency, which summed up his understanding of the game very accurately.

Bob actually felt this way too, but not as accurately and vividly as George Karl said.

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, probably understanding the meaning.

This can only be regarded as a preparatory action before Jordan announced his retirement again. It seems that Qin Fei has been recognized by the above and is regarded as the next star to save the ratings.

At the same time, Bob thought about Qin Fei's contract renewal next year.

At present, no one has considered this issue, but it is an indisputable fact that Qin Fei has become an All-Star. Looking at the current market price of the league, Qin Fei will definitely pursue a large contract of more than [-] million yuan, and the Supersonics already have two large contracts. At that time, how to keep Qin Fei?

How much should the highly praised Qin Fei be worth?

In front of the Supersonics is the in-depth thinking on how to maintain a neat lineup on the road to the championship.

"Shh!"

On the court, Qin Fei made another mid-range shot, and his personal score rose to 22 points in the half, which was already a night of explosion.

The Suns are 45 to 69 behind the Supersonics by 24 points, and they are also the top five in the Western Conference. Facing the supersonic team with a conflicting style of play, they have no power to fight back.

Generally speaking, the place of restraint is that,

The Suns are fast, and the Supersonics are also faster; the Suns' shooting is more accurate than the Supersonics, but the Supersonics' perimeter defense is too strong; the offense of the Suns is not as good as the Supersonics, and the defensive end is easy to be fouled by the Supersonics.

In the third quarter, the Suns cheered up and relied on several beautiful three-pointers to recover a little point difference.

However, this big hole is really too difficult to fill. At the end of the three quarters, they were still behind by 20 points. In the end, the Suns lost the game 94 to 115 at home, and Xiti lost three games in a row.

The Supersonics have completed the suppression of the fifth in the West, clearly establishing the gap between the first and second phalanxes.

After the game, the Phoenix media reported on Qin Fei extensively.

The berserk Qin Fei scored 38 points in Phoenix (tying his career record), plus 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. After Schramf truce due to injury, Qin Fei's personal data has tended to develop in a balanced direction, gradually showing comprehensiveness.

At the end of the article, I suggest that the Phoenix Suns pursue Qin Fei, because Qin Fei’s contract will expire next year, and the Sonics already have two big contracts on their backs. The targets of the two big contracts are both All-Stars who are in their prime.

That's right, the media believes that Qin Fei is the core player that the Suns should have. Kidd, although he is also very good, was selected as an All-Star, but after all, he is still a little bit behind.

And these days, why do you have to find some super scorers, and even the honor of the scoring champion is more important than the rebounding, assists, and steals champions, because at the end of the game, it depends on the ability to attack.

After this game, the Suns had an internal meeting, whether to stay in the fifth position in the West or go to the sixth position in the West.

Because this ranking is very important, fifth in the Western Conference, if they pass the first round, they will face the Supersonics in the second round, and sixth in the Western Conference, if they meet the Supersonics, it will be at least the Western Conference finals.

But the Suns not only don't want to touch the Supersonics, they don't even want to touch the Lakers, so the Jazz is willing to play a fight. If there is a ranking, it is the Supersonics, the Lakers and the Jazz, but the Jazz and the Lakers have similar records at the moment.

Regardless of the tangled Suns, Qin Fei finally won the player of the week for the first time in his career after this 38-point game.

This week, the Sonics won all three games. Qin Fei averaged 26.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game. His record is worthy of being the best player in terms of statistics.

This year's best of the week is the same as best of the month. Only one player from the east and west of the league is elected. After Qin Fei is elected, it is equivalent to the MVP of this week's 450 players in the league. It is really gratifying.

At this time, in the NCAA arena, March Madness officially started, and many universities fought against each other, starting a half-month happy event.

The season of spring is warm and flowers are blooming, which is the spring break period. The restless hormones of the college students are even more turbulent when they encounter such a group event.

So March Madness, the meaning of madness, actually has multiple origins.

Qin Fei was optimistic about Georgetown University winning the championship in an interview before. Georgetown University is also quite confident. It easily defeated its opponent in the first round and advanced to the top 32.

But in the 32-to-16 game, they lost to UCLA 76 to 77, and at the last minute, they were eliminated by the opponent's defender with a three-pointer.

Georgetown University's dream of winning the championship came to an abrupt end, stopping in the top 32.

Since Georgetown University lost, Qin Fei naturally did not have to abide by his agreement to go to the finals to cheer for Georgetown University.

Time quickly spanned to April, and the University of Kentucky made a comeback and made great strides all the way, reaching the NCAA finals of the year.

The opponent in the final was the sudden emergence of the University of Utah.

The University of Utah is a member of the Big [-] Pacific Conference. Last year, the team had a No. [-] pick. Keith Van Horn, as introduced before, went to the Nets, a good player on the offensive end.

Without such a player, everyone thought that the University of Utah would fail, but who knew it would go all the way to the finals.

The team's point guard, Andre Miller, has gradually come to the fore. This steady style of play, a point guard with a general style, is considered to be a figure like Stockton.

Andre Miller is two years older than Qin Fei. He is a junior this year. He was also a good player in football and basketball back then.

In high school, he won the Class 4A state basketball championship and was also elected as the MVP of the high school football league as a quarterback.

At this moment, Andre Miller has entered the field of vision of the NBA, and many scouts believe that he will definitely enter the first-round lottery zone.

However, Miller has no intention of ending his college career early. He plans to finish his senior year before participating in the draft, which makes many teams feel sorry.

It doesn’t mean that all players who finish their senior year and participate in the draft will definitely get a better pick. The market situation is always changing. This year, there may be no better player at the same position than you.

Apart from Miller, the University of Utah has no other particularly good players.

Kentucky has always liked to play the Five Tigers. Last year, four players entered the NBA. There are still several players who appeared in the NBA draft market rankings this year.

This is the real cradle and training base for talents.

The two sides competed on the evening of April 4, when the NBA was suspended for one day, and the topic and focus were given to the NCAA basketball finals to show respect.

As a result, Kentucky defeated the University of Utah led by Miller 78 to 69 and won the seventh championship trophy in team history. It can be regarded as a comeback after losing in last year's final.

Two Kentucky teammates, Mohammed and Jeff, declare for the NBA draft.

After the NCAA came to an end, many NCAA students announced their participation in the NBA draft. Some of them entered the draft naturally when they reached the age, and some directly skipped the college stage to participate in the draft. That is to say, from this day on, some big teams in the NBA have further increased their selection of rookies.

This includes workouts for a large number of rookies, during which some players will move up and some players will drop.

At that time, Qin Fei also relied on the trial training to improve his selection, otherwise, just relying on the championship bonus, it would not be so high.

From now on, it is officially entering the end of the season, and the competition for ranking among the various powerhouses is becoming more intense.

This year's regular season ends on April 4, and the playoffs start on April 19. The league has begun to urgently produce some promotional videos for the playoffs.

In last year's promotional video, Qin Fei didn't even show his face. In this year's promotional video, Qin Fei, as one of the Big Three in Seattle, naturally appeared in it, with a gliding fly button as his unique scene, full of passion.

At this time, there is almost no big difference in the Eastern Conference's record, and the Bulls' thriving situation has not changed after all.

In the West, with the Jazz's strength in the second half, there is still no certainty whether the Jazz is second or the Lakers are second.

On April 4, the Sonics defeated the Grizzlies at home, becoming the first team in the league to reach 6 wins, and locked in the playoffs in advance.

Four days later, the Bulls also defeated their opponents and became the second 60-win team.

Then on April 4, the Lakers and Jazz defeated their respective opponents and became a 15-win team. At this time, both teams had two games left and their records were tied.

On the last day, the Sonics defeated the Trail Blazers away and achieved their 65th win of the season, surpassing the Sonics' record of 64 wins and 18 losses two years ago, becoming the best in new team history.

Ranked second in the league is the Bulls with 62 wins.

Then there are two 60-win teams in the West. In the last two games, the Lakers and Jazz both had 1 win and 1 loss. In the end, according to the results of their respective duels, the Lakers ranked second and the Jazz ranked third.

It is also rare for so many 60-win teams to appear in the league at one time.

This year is also a harvest year for the Sonics. George Karl, who narrowly lost to Phil Jackson in the position of best coach two years ago, is very likely to win the best coach. This is the highest honor for an NBA coach.

But George Karl himself still has reservations about winning this award and does not have much confidence.

Because in the East, Larry Bird, who led his team to the second place in the East and won 58 wins for the first time as coach, is also very popular.

Compared with Larry Bird, George Karl seems to have more sympathy points. After all, according to tradition, the league should have awarded him this award two years ago, not Mr. Phil Jackson, who has risen after waiting for Jordan to come back.

This is a strange circle. Sometimes, if the players are too strong, the coach will appear to be mediocre. The record is completely attributed to whom, and it seems that they all owe the other party a little bit. The simple sentence "work together" seems to be too general.

But no matter who regrets losing the election, this topic has already been hyped to a certain extent, adding a touch of popularity and attention to the upcoming playoffs.

Obviously, the president David Stern knows this well, and he is really a veteran.
