Chapter 263 Collapse

Jordan watched dumbfounded.

In more common terms, this ball seems to be like "Pippen will be silent when he sees it, and Jordan will cry when he sees it".

When the red light came on, the ball bounced twice on the backboard.

Finally fell into the nest.

The teenager who finished the tip-up lost his balance and fell to the floor. When he looked up, he saw the basketball fall from the net, and he clenched his fists and roared excitedly.

"Lore!"

"Another lore!"

The entire audience seemed to have rehearsed countless times, and at the same time, they raised their arms high at the same time, and together with Qin Fei, they gave out earth-shattering cheers.

How many times of training did it take for this crucial attack, and the man who fell to the ground is still the most "big-hearted" player in their team.

Payton and Kemp jumped to their feet to celebrate, then ran to join the crowd that flooded the court.

"and also"

Before Qin Fei could say anything cruel, he was overwhelmed by the crazy crowd.

amount

In the shaking camera, after finally catching up with Qin Fei, they were all blocked, and what Qin Fei said was not photographed.

The director in the background was in a hurry, and quickly switched to another higher camera position, and then took a picture of Qin Fei's front. The crowd rushed forward, and everyone hugged each other, enjoying the joy of victory.

Victory in the G1 finals!

It can be described as one of the most important victories for the Sonics this season.

On the stage of the finals, winning a game means getting closer to the O'Brien Cup.

The NBA championship trophy has been used since 1977. It was previously called the Walter A. Brown Trophy. In 1984, the trophy was changed to the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy.

The Bulls were silent for a long time, and finally they could only accept this unchangeable fact. The game was over, and they left the arena one after another.

Before leaving, Jordan glanced back at the big screen.

The video of Qin Fei just making a tip-off lore was still being played on the big screen.

From the moment Schramf shot the jump shot, Qin Fei began to sneak past the baseline, and none of the Bulls players noticed Qin Fei's air cut.

When Rodman jumped up to grab the rebound, Qin Fei just flew over and jumped with all his strength, one length higher than Rodman.

Using his long arm, he was the first to hit the rebound, and the rebound bounced into the frame. When the shot was made, the red light was on.

That's all, the Bulls lost because they weren't careful enough, their cards weren't aggressive enough, and their players weren't focused enough.

There are thousands of reasons for losing, but there is only one final result, which is to become a loser and be nailed to the pillar of history forever.

The scene fell into a kind of madness, and the fans' blood rushed to their heads for a moment.

This is the charm of the basketball game. They felt suffocated for the whole fierce battle, and at the last moment, they were completely released.

In the stands, Mandy jumped up and down.

With her pretty face and hot body, the cameraman couldn't help but give her two more shots. Many fans who were watching the game felt that this girl looked familiar, but they couldn't remember where they saw it before. They just thought it was pretty.

Sonics most beautiful fans?

Mandy didn't watch many games, but he really liked the warm atmosphere, his little face was flushed, and his voice was hoarse from shouting.

The focus of her attention is also the focus of the audience.

The man under the spotlight finally stood up again in the crowd.

There are supersonic players all around, but fortunately, the head is round, otherwise the hairstyle will be messed up.

The crowd surrounded him, and the audience changed their cheers into applause, and many people shouted the slogan "MVP".

Amid applause from the audience, the Sonics players exited the field.

Qin Fei walked into the player tunnel, and countless palms stretched out to give him a high five.

A very excited white male fan yelled at Qin Fei.

"Hey, look at me, Qin, I'm your long-lost brother!"

Qin Fei raised his head in surprise and saw the male fan at the entrance of the tunnel. He was indeed wearing the No. 18 Supersonics jersey, and he also wore an armguard on his left arm. He had a round-inch hairstyle similar to Qin Fei's. His face shape and facial features were a bit similar.

Qin Fei couldn't help laughing.

Qin Fei smiled, and they all laughed, hahahaha.

Entering the locker room, everyone in the Supersonics was immersed in the joy of victory in the G1 finals. They clapped and hugged each other to celebrate, feeling hard-earned.

"The Bulls are much more difficult than the Jazz. We lost to them two years ago. They have too much strength."

Payton was relatively calm, and after a while, he began to discuss some deficiencies in the second half of G1 with head coach George Karl.

George Carr readily pointed out the problem.

"We still seemed too hesitant to defend Jordan."

"We can go back and watch the video. Many of our double-teams were abandoned halfway. It didn't have any impact on Jordan, and it also destroyed the team's overall defense."

"I'm now thinking about appointing someone to defend full-time, whether it can form a situation where you will be the main defense and Qin Fei will assist in the defense."

After the Supersonic players took a shower, Payton and Qin Fei attended the post-game press conference together.

At the press conference, the background was covered with supersonic blue wall coverings, and the microphone was placed in front of it. There were more than a dozen new faces, all from the media in Asia.

Obviously, Qin Fei's attention in this area is obviously different.

Under the auspices of the officials, the post-match press conference began.

Qin Fei flourished on the stage of the finals.

On the other hand, the rookies participating in this year's draft also started the last wave of trial training.

At the end of May before the draft, there is the Chicago Combine workout, followed by the team's individual workouts.

The joint trial training is just a general idea, and the individual trial training is the key to decide whether the team chooses this player, so many rookie players fly around during this period, and they are accompanied by agents who are responsible for daily life and other matters.

Before players enter the NBA, agents play a very important role. Some well-connected and powerful agents can help rookies find suitable buyers.

For Wang Zhizhi to go from home to abroad, he needs more than one agent, but a whole team to operate.

The agent he signed in the United States is named Jeff Schwartz.

Schwartz is not outstanding in the circle of NBA agents at present, but he is very sincere. After knowing that Wang Zhizhi came to the United States, he was the first agent to contact Wang Zhizhi's team. Wang Zhizhi's domestic agent Xia Song finally suggested that Wang Zhizhi reach a cooperation with him.

Schwartz has always liked to cooperate with overseas players. His philosophy is that in the future the NBA will be full of flowers. Nowadays, the player market in American universities is very small, and even some shameless agents have started working since high school, and the competition is getting fiercer.

It is better to focus on overseas players, which is also a good way to break the game.

After Schwartz reached an agreement with Wang Zhizhi, he began to help Wang Zhizhi approach some teams, but Nelson Jr. of the Mavericks had clearly stated before that he would use the Mavericks' lottery to sign Wang Zhizhi, so this operation made Wang Zhizhi very suspicious.

"It's like this in the NBA. This is a commercial league. Although he verbally agreed to you, sending your scouting reports to a few more teams and communicating with them more will only benefit your career, not harm."

When Wang Zhizhi saw that others had asked for an increase in workload, he didn't feel embarrassed to discourage the enthusiasm of the employees, so he let him go.

In addition to this aspect, Schwartz has done a good job in arranging accommodation, training, and signing up for the draft. Wang Zhizhi is now only waiting to participate in the draft in June.

Yao Ming is another Chinese player who has attracted attention. This tall and young insider beat Chandler, a talented center in high schools in the United States, at the Nike Summit, showing a strong basic ability.

After Yao Ming finished the game in Portland, he set off to return home. The scouts wanted to find this mysterious basketball boy, and they had to travel across the sea.

In 98, the men's basketball team missed the World Championships in Athens because of the loss in the previous Asian Championships. The most important game in the whole year should be the men's basketball game of the Asian Games.

But the time for this competition is still early, and it will not be held until the end of the year, so Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming and others have a completely open policy on overseas trial training and personal training.

The impact of Qin Fei is to accelerate the integration of NBA and Asian basketball, and at the same time inspire a group of talented teenagers to dare to pursue their dreams more firmly.

When he won the G1 game of the finals, his reputation was already very high, let alone a household name, most young people should have heard of his name.

The sport of basketball began to be promoted more vigorously, and many people began to learn how Qin Fei played.

In fact, Qin Fei really has nothing to learn when playing basketball. The only skill he can really use on the field is the step-back jump shot.

But the problem is that his retreat is different from others playing wild ball. The key to his retreat is to exert force in the moment before the withdrawal. The defensive players can't jump over, and his shooting speed and angle are also different.

Taking a step back on the field, meeting someone who is taller than him, but in the end he is still surrounded by others.

Another thing to learn is the three-threat offense.

But on the field, few people will use three threats. The first reaction of taking the ball is not to observe the opponent, but to start dribbling. This basic idea has problems.

The outside world's overall evaluation of G1 in the finals is "evenly matched."

The Sonics are strong, but the Bulls are old and strong.

The victory of the Supersonic G1 game was very dramatic, and the Bulls may not have the power to fight.

Moreover, there is still a hidden danger of supersonic speed that has not been resolved.

This hidden danger is the problem of rebounding.

In fact, the Bulls' rebounding competition has always been the top in the league. G7 won the Pacers, and they won on rebounds.

Not only Rodman, but also Pippen, Jordan and others are all good players in front and rear rebounds. Except for the embarrassing loss of the last offensive rebound, the Bulls lead the Sonics in rebounds overall.

Expert advice, Kemp's positioning for himself should be a little clearer.

They believe that the Sonics' offense is basically based on the perimeter, just like the Bulls. Kemp should focus more on defense and rebounding.

This argument is still somewhat professional, and when it was passed on to the Sonics, it caused some controversy.

Kemp himself was also quite confused, could it be that he really played wrongly?

The coach didn't realize this, and as a result, in the G2 game, Kemp played hesitantly.

Many of the balls that were originally offensive from the inside were changed to attack from the outside. As a result, the Sonics' offensive system was completely destroyed. The Bulls lost 2 to 81 in the G97 game by 16 points, and there was an unexpected defeat.

Before G1 won, the home court advantage was lost, and Seattle lost its voice in an instant.

The Bulls returned home one-to-one, and the SuperSonics ushered in three difficult moments in away games.

The competition system of the finals is different from the previous rounds. It is 2-3-2. The home game will be played first, and three away games will be played in the middle, which can be regarded as saving some travel expenses.

Before the joy of G1 was over, G2 lost the game, which made the atmosphere of the Supersonics not good.

On the contrary, the Bulls have built confidence because of a big victory.

George Karl approached Kemp and took the initiative to communicate with Kemp.

"Don't listen to the nonsense from the outside world. What you have to do is to be yourself. Do you know that you are a beast on the inside and the most troublesome defensive arrow for the entire Bulls. I seriously suspect that the Bulls asked someone to say those words in order to interfere with your self-confidence."

"The team cannot do without your offense. Only when you cause serious damage in the interior can the team enter the rhythm that belongs to us."

Camp also knew that he had walked into the wrong alley, and the secret enemy was really insidious, and the finals were really hard to guard against.

So the two teams played a classic G3 game at the United Center in Chicago.

The United Center arena is a newly completed arena. It was put into use in 94, and the maximum number of spectators can reach 21711, which is much larger than the Key Arena.

The battle between the two teams in Chicago is an away game for the Sonics.

The Sonics trailed the Bulls as soon as the game started.

The Bulls seemed to have regained their rhythm after the G2 game. Not only was Jordan able to attack, Pippen and others also felt back, with three-pointers from the outside, breakthroughs from the inside, and mid-range shots.

The Sonics trailed the Bulls by more than ten points in the start, and trailed the Bulls by 42 points 57 to 15 in the half.

When the two teams had the most points, the point difference reached as many as 21 points.

The fans in the United Center Arena thought the game was stable, but in the second half, the situation changed suddenly.

The Sonics found the right shot from the outside line. First, Payton made a three-pointer, then Qin Fei made a three-pointer + mid-range shot, and then Qin Fei broke through for a layup and caused the Bulls to foul.

In just a few minutes, the Sonics played a small climax, instantly smoothing the point difference, and only 5 points away from catching up.

At the critical moment, Jordan hit a three-pointer from the outside to stop the Bulls from bleeding.

A few years ago, the three-point line suddenly shortened, and Jordan's three-point shooting percentage reached the peak of his career, but this year, Jordan's three-point shooting is not good, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 23.8%, which is far below his career average.

Scoring three points in the finals can be regarded as a manifestation of Jordan's greatness.

But this is not enough, because the Sonics' offensive frenzy is still going on. Kemp, who performed poorly in the G2 game, became ruthless.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls were 67 points behind the Sonics 69 to 2, and the Sonics chased by 17 points in a single quarter.

This left the fans in the entire United Center speechless. It was difficult for the fans to cheer, and the air cuts seemed very dull.

In the final quarter of the game, Jordan did not rest and continued to score points alone.

In the end, Jordan scored 35 points in the finals at the age of 45, setting a new record, but the Bulls lost the game 95 to 100.

The good situation was ruined, and the players felt the mentality when the Supersonics lost in the G2 game.

In this campaign, Qin Fei scored the Supersonics' highest score of 25 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. Kemp recovered and scored a double-double of 22 points and 12 rebounds. Payton scored 19 points and 7 assists.

In addition, Schramff, Perkins, Smith, Aaron and others all performed well.

The Sonics were all soldiers, and they reversed the Bulls with 21 points, taking the lead in the series 2-1.

Jordan looked very ugly and lost his temper after leaving the court.

According to a reporter from the Chicago Tribune, a serious crisis of trust erupted after the Bulls game. Jordan was dissatisfied with the support he received on the court, thinking that the players should play harder and lost too many points that should not have been lost.

Obviously, Jordan believes that the key to being reversed is that the Bulls' defense is far from good enough.

But the opponent has entered a better offensive rhythm, and they can't do anything about it.

At this time, throwing blame is meaningless, and blaming teammates is not a good way to solve the problem. The player meeting held by Jordan actually hopes that the team will show a little more fighting spirit.

Regardless of what the end of the season looks like, at present, they are all Bulls players.

The Bulls are a group of players who are committed to winning a championship.

Two days later, the Bulls are at home.

The Sonics and the Bulls started the G4 battle.
