Chapter 279

The counterattack speed of the Sonics team was too fast, and the Mavericks had time to retreat to only Nash and others.

Nash's defense is better than nothing, and it is even more difficult to defend against fast breaks. When Qin Fei grabbed the basketball and flew into the sky, Nash could only choose to dodge.

"Pong!"

The height and strength of Qin Fei's fast-break dunk are astonishing.

The fans in the entire key arena raised their hands and cheered. This is the wonderful scene they have been waiting for for half a year, and it finally appeared in front of them again.

The Mavericks attack, or find Finley.

Qin Fei's defense was relatively tight, so Nash didn't pass to Finley again, but took the pick-and-roll on the other side, looking for opportunities to cooperate with Bradley.

It is still a relatively traditional tactical combination. After waiting for the Supersonics to shrink the defense, Nash pretended to throw the ball out, but in fact he hit the ground and gave it to Bradley, who was in a relatively deep position.

Bradley picked up the basketball and was about to dunk. Sam Perkins was too short in front of Bradley, so he had to take off early.

Unexpectedly, Dazhugan made a fake move. After a time difference, he relaxed the ape's arms and put the ball into the basket.

this defense

Some commentators who watched the game felt that the defending champion was too slack in defense, allowing the opponent to enter the inside so easily and complete the offense so easily.

Payton, who was holding the ball, shouted loudly, and his voice could be heard in the audience.

Qin Fei came out to catch the ball. According to the tactics, Kemp should help him pick and roll, but after covering for a while, Kemp found that he was directly facing the rookie of the Mavericks, so he took the initiative to ask for the ball inside.

Qin Fei pulled it out, then hit the ground and passed the ball to Kemp.

Nowitzki bent his arms against Kemp, only feeling that the man in front of him was really too strong, even his back was full of muscles, containing huge energy.

Kemp took the ball, didn't wait for the Mavericks to double-team, turned around and hit Nowitzki.

"Pong!"

Nowitzki has never seen such a fierce player before, and he was a little confused when he was hit. At this time, Kemp dribbled the ball and walked in, and rose directly in one step.

The big bamboo pole had no time to make up the defense, and watched Kemp easily complete the dunk.

Kemp swung around the rim before landing, his face full of complacency.

Shouted at Nowitzki: "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

Nowitzki looked ugly, and silently picked up the basketball to serve.

The host laughed. The little rookie was stunned. He was defended by Qin Fei, and then he was dunked on the head by Kemp.

"Although he is an excellent player from Europe and has also played in professional leagues, the NBA is a completely different league. He still has a long way to go and has a lot to learn."

The host felt that Nowitzki, a high-ranking rookie this year, seemed unable to show the ability to match his high-ranking in just a few minutes of offense and defense. Of course, in the draft, potential is also a part of the ranking. They want to know where the potential of Nowitzki lies.

In other words, what did the Mavericks see in him?

Qin Fei may be the only one who knows Nowitzki best in the audience. He knows that Nowitzki will be the strongest offensive player in the fourth position in the future.

After Nowitzki took a rebound, there were no positive statistics, and the defensive end was overwhelmed by the league's top power forward Kemp.

This was a pretty bad 5-minute experience, and soon, the old Nelson replaced Nowitzki.

The fans at the scene were not too friendly. When Nowitzki was off the field, there was a lot of boos.

This is the status quo of high-ranked players. They enjoy the treatment that the team focuses on training, various resource policies are tilted, and they will also encounter targeted "education" from the opponent. Even everything will be pointed out under the magnifying glass. Coaches, players, and fans have different requirements for the performance of high-ranked players.

When the two teams are on the playing field, the Supersonics appear to be more relaxed, and they are more comfortable on both offense and defense.

The Mavs struggled more.

Struggling is struggling, but scoring points have been rising, including Finley, Bradley and others. In the middle of the first quarter, Nash completed a horse-riding archery shot after the pick-and-roll, and completed the offense under Payton's pursuit.

Mavericks 14 to 12 also lead the Sonics by 2 points.

No one would think that the Mavericks, who didn't make the playoffs last season, would be the opponents of the Sonics. Even if they took the lead, it would always be like a dream, weak and weak.

The Sonics quickly replaced Schrempf and Sam Perkins.

These two are old players. Although they are the main starters, the game time will not be too long.

Therefore, the lineup of the Sonics before the start of the season can also be seen. There are still a large number of forward players. For example, Payton and Qin Fei occupy more than 80.00% of the time in the backcourt.

Aaron Williams was replaced, and Eric Snow.

Although Snow is still the team's substitute, with his steady style of play, his status in George Karl's heart is not low. In the playoffs last season, he was the first choice in the backcourt.

Since Eric Snow is on the stage, he must be a point guard.

Payton became the shooting guard, while Qin Fei moved to the small forward position.

The small forward Qin Fei is not the same as Schramf. Schramf is a small forward who connects the inside and outside. His main function is to be a spot shooter and connect the team. Qin Fei is a finishing player.

When he first entered the league, Qin Fei also played point guard. Since the second half of last season, in George Karl's system, Qin Fei rarely played point guard. Basically, he was a wing player, either shooting guard or small forward.

The Mavericks took Nash off the field after the middle.

The field was chaotic. The Sonics seized the opportunity to hit several counterattacks in a row, setting off a small climax of counterattacks. At the end of the first quarter, they overtook the Mavericks by 25 points 21 to 4.

Qin Fei actually performed well, with 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter, but according to the regular rotation mechanism, he began to rest.

Payton had taken a break before, and returned to the court after a 2-minute break in the second quarter.

The Mavericks, who are not as powerful as the Supersonics, played particularly aggressively in this game. When they returned to the court in the second quarter, several substitute players scored.

The scores of the two teams were evened again, and the Mavericks started to take the lead.

3 points or 5 points, in turn suppress the Supersonics.

Payton's condition was not good, he missed the shot and missed the layup. Although he had 6 assists, he had already made 3 turnovers.

On the contrary, Uncle Kan, who has obviously declined in physical fitness, overwhelmed the Mavericks inside and played like a "Seattle O'Neal".

I don't mean to go down at all, I'm still the boy I was when I was a child

Camp felt a little proud. Although the speed of recovery this time was much slower than in previous years, he still recovered. These crooked people couldn't stop him at all.

Old Nelson's focus was on Qin Fei.

Old Nelson has always been an active person who wants to get Qin Fei. He once persuaded other members of the Mavericks uniform team to stud Qin Fei with any condition of the Mavericks team.

This matter didn't spread much, but the Mavericks' uniform team knew about it.

At the beginning, it was somewhat controversial. I thought that the Mavericks, who offered such a condition, would get Qin Fei as a certainty. I didn't expect the Supersonics to reject this trade request.

Later, Qin Fei became the youngest All-Star player of the Supersonics. He performed brilliantly on key goals many times in the playoffs and made great contributions to the Supersonics' championship.

Many people said that without Qin Fei, even if the Sonics entered the finals, they would just repeat the mistakes they made two years ago.

The selection of Qin Fei is the beginning of the evolution of such a top team into a championship team.

This year, Qin Fei is 21 years old.

Old Nelson noticed that Qin Fei's position in the Supersonic has not changed much, similar to last year.

However, Qin Fei's own playing style has changed a bit. Overall, he is playing more freely than last year. Whether it is breaking through, shooting or passing, he can do it freely.

There were also more changes in the offense. Michael Finley was fouled twice when defending Qin Fei.

Qin Fei used to go on a rampage before, when would he do something like this?

visibly more mature

It's a pity that Qin Fei didn't have many shots. Old Nelson sighed secretly.

Nowitzki still didn't score, which was very embarrassing. He missed one of five shots, including a three-pointer.

Only then did the fans know that this seven-foot-long man can actually shoot three-pointers.

It's a pity that Nowitzki didn't score a goal. Finally, with a shooting foul, he went to the free throw line, and then seized two free throw opportunities to break his career scoring record.

1 point and 2 points, finally there is no duck egg.

The data he finally surrendered was 5 of 0 shots, 2 points and 4 rebounds.

Can't defend inside, can't make outside shots, the performance is simply a disaster.

Many people are laughing at Nowitzki. At this level, the second-round pick is a bit of a waste of picks. The ninth pick in the first round, I don't know what the Mavericks think.

The fans in Dallas were not happy either. Originally, the Bucks chose the ninth overall pick. Why did the Mavericks want to make this deal?

The only good news is that the Mavericks beat the Sonics in their first game.

The Mavericks' 98-92 victory over the defending champions was nothing short of amazing.

Throughout the game, the scores of the two teams were relatively tight, but in the crucial fourth quarter, Michael Finley was a little convulsed. He scored three-pointers from the outside line, and also hit a fadeaway shot against Qin Fei's defense.

Qin Fei actually defended pretty well, but Finley still scored 31 points on him.

In comparison, Qin Fei himself has only 19 points and 6 rebounds, which is much worse than Finley.

Kemp performed well in the first game, contributing 24 points and 12 rebounds in a double-double. Payton hit the iron like crazy, only 11 points were recorded, sent 9 assists and 5 turnovers; the Mavericks Nash contributed 15 points and 7 assists. In the Mavericks' first starting game, they faced last year's FMVP again, which is really good.

So Payton's performance is very confusing, and it can be understood by changing to another team. If Nash defends

The loss in the first game was useless to make Seattle feel serious. There was a feeling of upset, so they all thought they would come back in the next game. The dissatisfaction was that the status of several main players had not returned. It was revealed that Kemp, who was out of shape, was actually the best player in the first game.

So don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors, seeing is believing.

After the first battle.

Qin Fei was interviewed.

The reporter asked about the changes in the team and their opinions on the first game.

If he loses a lot, Qin Fei can still say "we want to change, we can't go on like this, we have to focus on the game itself", it's not too exaggerated for just one game.

After the reporter waited for a long time, Qin Fei answered the previous questions.

"We haven't changed much. If there is a real change, it may be that we have more foundation now, with the bonus brought by the championship. Of course, because of this, we will encounter more difficult challenges. This is the reality that every defending team will face."

"Yes, so we have to fight harder."

It makes sense after a circle. In the NBA, there are desperate people every night. It is difficult to win the game without fighting or grabbing.

The Supersonics have not yet reached the strength to win the game in a relaxed state. Once the opponent is in good condition, the outcome is [-]-[-]. This truth seems to have not been understood from top to bottom.

Also playing in a slack state is the Lakers.

The offseason is too long, there are too many temptations in big cities, and the Lakers players are not in good condition. The new season suffered a losing streak at the beginning of the season.

After two consecutive losses, the Lakers finally paid attention to it and won two games, but soon fell into the rhythm of losing.

During the offseason, the Lakers traded Nick Van Exel to the Nuggets.

This is a signal of rectification. The window period in the backcourt gave Kobe a chance to become the starter, and Harris had no final reason.

Kobe, like Nash, has endured for so long and finally became the official team starter.

Once the team starts to lose, they will definitely find someone to take the blame.

Kobe has blame, but it is not the main blame, and after Kobe became the starter, he performed well on the court and averaged close to 20 points per game. For a 21-year-old player, he can't ask for more.

In addition to Kobe, O'Neal also has a pot, and the head coach also has a pot.

The head coach Harris has to bear the biggest blame. After all, he has a luxurious combination like O'Neal + Jones + Kobe, and he can't keep up the record. It really shouldn't be.

After 12 games, the Lakers have a record of 6 wins and 6 losses, ranking only tenth in the Western Conference.

Finally, the Lakers management couldn't take it anymore and directly fired head coach Harris.

In his fifth year in charge of the Lakers, Del Harris was finally fired. Maybe this is the fate of all NBA coaches, whether they are famous or young.

After Harris was fired, the Lakers couldn't find someone to replace the head coach for a while, and assistant coach Bill lasted a game temporarily.

It is similar to the embarrassing situation of the Lakers.

Since the beginning of the new season, the Supersonic team, which aims to win the championship again, has had an unsatisfactory record. In the 13 games at the beginning of the season, they only achieved a record of 7 wins and 6 losses, which may be just a little better than the Lakers.

At this point, the fans in Seattle had nothing to say.

If a game is called an upset, and every game is blown up, it means that something is really wrong with the team.

For a while, even George Karl, the best coach last season, received some criticism.
