Chapter 318 is just the beginning

Late at night, thousands of lights are warm.

In May, the Bay Area can already feel the heat of summer.

It was an exciting night for countless fans.

Fisherman's Wharf, bars and restaurants, bright red lobsters, crabs with claws and claws, bursts of tempting fragrance, there are bunches of cold beer on the table, and the fans who opened their drinks are noisy, and the hanging TV is still showing the end of the arena.

ESPN reporters caught the Warriors player interviews.

This time it was John Starks who was caught.

Starks was an important contributor to the Warriors' victory tonight. He scored 22 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, helping the Warriors keep their lead at the critical moment in the mid-term.

Although the female reporter was wearing slender high-heeled shoes, she was still a long way from the tall NBA players, so she struggled to lift the microphone up.

"No one will think we won, but we want to tell everyone that we did it."

"The game is like this. When you give and work hard, you will have the possibility of gaining. This is a victory for all of us, and it is also a victory dedicated to all Bay Area fans."

"Of course, this is just the beginning. The situation ahead is still grim. We must continue to make adjustments in order to win the remaining games."

Starks was a little excited, but the idea of ​​the speech was very correct, and it touched the hearts of the fans.

It is indeed too difficult, the first playoff victory in 8 years.

Fortunately, this year is not in vain.

Regardless of whether they can win the Jazz again in the future, many fans feel that this year is worth it after listening to Starks' words. Even if they are eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, this year is already a successful season.

After all, it was only the first year of obtaining the "Super Nova", and it was obtained halfway.

Like the Nets in the East, they also won the "new star" Marbury in the mid-term, but they didn't even make the playoffs. Even the Nets' record did not rise but fell, only 16 wins.

In a horizontal comparison, the Warriors are definitely very good.

It is not too strange that the Warriors can win a game against the No. [-] Jazz in the league. After winning, everyone began to change their attitudes, thinking that they have this strength.

That's what sports leagues look like.

When you reach a certain level, what you get will not be doubts, but recognition as it should be, but as long as you fail to achieve this level, it will be accompanied by a lot of doubts.

After reaching this point, new doubts will be raised to a higher level.

For example, the current judgment for the Warriors is that the Warriors should not win again, instead of the "impossible to win a game, and there is a high probability of being swept away" at the beginning.

This is how the basketball commentary keeps pace with the times. There are different opinions on whether the guess is correct or not.

The Warriors' win against the Jazz has become the biggest upset of the day.

What followed was countless voices of praise.

Praise the warriors and the three armies for their lives, praise Starks for breaking out in danger, and praise Qin Fei for his consistent and stable output

The Los Angeles Times reported the game at length.

The basketball columnist wrote about some adjustments made by the Warriors in the game.

For example, "faster-paced offense and defense."

This didn't happen in previous games.

So they came to the conclusion that even an academic coach like Carlesimo doesn't mean to be stubborn and static, and will still make adjustments according to the actual situation.

In this game, the Warriors are leading tactically, bursting in form, and handling key balls well. How could they not win.

So the columnist carefully argues the bold hypothesis: Maybe the Warriors can still win a game and drag the series into the tiebreaker.

Then push it one step further, is it possible to be a black eight?

Think more, maybe you can reach the finals and create a new eighth miracle!

"I can really think about it"

And it is too much thinking, the team that really has the potential of "King of the Black Eight" is actually almost showing signs.

They are located in a big city, suffered from injuries, experienced personnel changes, and went against the tide of adversity to get a ticket to the playoffs at the last moment of the regular season.

That's right.

They are the New York Knicks.

The Knicks won again.

After losing to the Heat in G2, they made another victory in G3, leading the Heat 2-1 in the series.

The Heat are No. [-] in the Eastern Conference!

The Knicks, the eighth in the Eastern Conference, took the lead to get the match point. All the people in Miami couldn't believe this fact. Are the New Yorkers so fierce?

It is mainly the grievances left over from history, which has enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Knicks team.

The red-eyed Knicks caught the Heat, the No. [-] team in the Eastern Conference, by surprise.

Heat vs. Knicks, Pat Riley vs. Van Gundy, Alonzo Mourning vs. Patrick Ewing

It is destined to be a classic round of history.

A victory like a Jedi counterattack allowed the Warriors to regain their confidence.

In the playoffs, even if the combat power is not as good as the number one in the league, they still dare to fight.

If you are willing to cut yourself to pieces, you have to pull the opponent off the horse.

This is the current fighting spirit of the Warriors, and they cannot lose to any opponent in terms of hardness.

So the Jazz obviously felt the tricky point. The next game will be the top priority of the series between the two teams. If the Warriors can still create miracles, then the mentality of the two teams will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The Jazz will also panic, and the Warriors deserve their caution.

Therefore, the Jazz, who did not accept interviews, prepared for closed training and faced G4.

The outside world is still optimistic about the Jazz.

Even if the Warriors win a game, the sample base is too small to be universal. Judging from the previous situation, there is a lot of chance for the Warriors to win, and the Jazz is still much better than the Warriors if they play normally.

The key to winning the third game is that in addition to Qin Fei, the Warriors have a second strong point of play.

So in the fourth game, will the Jazz give Starks such a big chance?

After all, Starks is already a 34-year-old veteran, can he fly to the inside to fight like a young man?

Basically impossible, so this is where the Warriors are sad.

Looking at the whole team, it was a surprise to have a second player explode.

During training, Carlesimo is also considering digging into the second point.

The offensive point he wanted was Marshall.

Marshall is an insider who can shoot three-pointers. After picking and rolling with Qin Fei, his tactics are more changeable.

But Marshall faced Malone, who moved faster, and did not get any good outside shooting opportunities in these two games. On the defensive end, he was "bullyed" by Malone and struggled very much.

Carlesimo hopes that Marshall will stop trying three-point shooting, but make a proper breakthrough with the ball or simply work in the mid-range position.

Anyway, Qin Fei doesn't have such a large breakthrough space. Once Marshall's shooting percentage rises, it will be a major blow to the Jazz's defense.

Marshall also hated his poor form, and his shooting percentage in the series did not even reach [-]%.

So when preparing for training, I practice shooting hard, hoping to get back a little shooting feeling.

With the playoffs in full swing, the best rookie award has also been announced.

Vince Carter of the Raptors was elected the league's best rookie this season with more than 95% of the votes.

缩水赛季的50场比赛，卡特49场首发，场均轰下18.3分5.7篮板3助攻1.1次抢断和1.5次封盖。

Carter's performance is already the best performance imaginable among ordinary rookies.

Especially on the defensive end, the wing combination formed by him and McGrady has become a beautiful landscape for the Raptors.

Both of them can break and cover, with amazing jumping ability and outstanding wingspan.

Carter received some controversy when he didn't enter the league, but now, with this guy's explosive dunk performance and perfect rookie season show, all doubts have been broken.

No one doubts the legitimacy of this North Carolina successor.

The title of "Jordan's successor" once again resounded throughout the league.

This time, the title was called loudly and steadily, and even Jordan was full of praise for the performance of the younger brother.

This "successor", Jordan is recognized, looks more like Qin Fei.

Carter is also quite satisfied with his performance in his rookie season. After one season, the Raptors intend to train him as the core. Next season, as long as he averages more than 20 points per game, he will have a chance to be promoted to the All-Star ranks. This is considered fast.

The best coach was awarded to the Blazers' Mike Dunleavy, and the best defensive player was awarded to the Heat's Alonzo Mourning.

The time soon came to November 5th.

The schedule is very dense, and the playoffs progress very quickly. In a little over a week, some teams in the first round have already decided the winner.

For example, the Spurs, the second in the Western Conference, swept the seventh Kings in the Western Conference 3-0.

The Kings were very uncomfortable when they met the Spurs, and they were suppressed on both ends of the offense and defense.

And the Spurs are in good shape. The Twin Towers blasted the King's inside line. Chris Webber met Duncan and was suppressed.

This is like when Robinson met Olajuwon a few years ago, they were both top figures in this position in the league, but there was a significant difference.

And the king is still sloppy, passing the ball well is called a scalpel, and passing the ball badly, he cut himself with a knife.

The Kings were the first team to be swept.

Then came the Bucks in the East, who were also swept 0-3 by the Pacers.

Ray Allen became the first player to be eliminated among the four major shooting guards in the 96th session, but the series averaged 24+5 per game, just like Reggie Miller.

So Reggie Miller is very optimistic about this round-inch kid. After the series ended, he did not hesitate to praise him.

On the night of the Warriors-Jazz game, there were [-]-[-] outs.

The 76ers in the Eastern Conference defeated the Magic 3-1.

In the first year when Iverson led the team to the playoffs alone, he was in full swing. He defeated his opponent and advanced to the second round.

In the West, the Lakers eliminated the Blazers 3-1 and entered the second round.

In addition, the Supersonics and the Rockets were tied 2-2, the Eagles Pistons 2-2, and the Heat Knicks 2-2. There were three fierce tie-breaks. Anyone may enter the next round and anyone may go home to fish.

Everyone set their sights on the Warriors and Jazz in the final game.

The chicken soup is useless, the life and death battle of the G4 battle, there is no need to urge, both sides will fight hard.

Neither side suffered any injuries, and the starting lineup remained unchanged.

The cheers from the home fans were still very loud. Under Stockton's go-between, the Jazz took the lead and scored consecutively.

After a few hard shots, the Warriors handed the ball to Qin Fei.

Qin Fei singled out Russell, feinted and then drew a foul.

Qin Fei made two free throws and opened the scoring for the Warriors.

Then the Jazz missed consecutively, and the Warriors tied the score. Before the break between the two sides, it was 13 to 12, and the Jazz led by 1 point.

There are comings and goings, and there is no difference in time.

Back from the timeout, the Jazz fired from the outside, Hornacek's 3 points, Stockton's mid-range, the Jazz widened the point difference.

At the end of the first quarter, the Jazz lead the Warriors 25 to 19.

When Qin Fei rested, the Warriors were opened up by some points. In the middle of the second quarter, the Warriors trailed the Jazz by 28 to 39 by double digits.

"The gap is too obvious."

The score fell behind, and the fans cheered a lot less.

The morale of the warriors declined, and Qin Fei had no choice but to stand up and take over the game.

Since he came on the field in the middle of the second quarter, he suddenly turned on the scoring mode. He scored consecutively, made breakthroughs, mid-range shots, and three-pointers, everything, and quickly helped the Warriors recover some points.

The Jazz called a timeout and double-teamed Qin Fei.

Unexpectedly, Qin Fei took advantage of the disadvantage of the improper timing of the double-team encirclement, shot consecutively and quickly, broke the Jazz's double-team strategy, and scored still unstoppable.

Later, he also felt better, and he also made three-pointers.

At halftime, the Warriors were only 47 points behind the Jazz 51 to 4.

Qin Fei scored 18 points in a single quarter and scored 25 points in the first half.

In front of the Jazz who is good at defense, Qin Fei's scoring has not been greatly affected.

Russell's face was ugly, he really didn't expect Qin Fei to be so difficult to guard against.

And at the back, Qin Fei had already started to convulse, scoring goals desperately against his defense, which was obviously not in a normal state. He defended too much, and thus paid for some fouls.

In the second half of the game, Qin Fei's state dropped and his scoring efficiency declined.

The Jazz seized the opportunity and quickly opened the score.

The Warriors did not have a second explosive scoring point, and watched the point difference continue to widen.

By the end of the third quarter, the Jazz were 77 to 65, leading the Warriors by 12 points.

This is thanks to Murray hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer, otherwise the point difference was 15 points, which would be even more exaggerated.

But it is this point difference that makes Warriors fans desperate.

The warrior is not straddling the edge of the cliff with one foot, but is hanging the whole body on the edge of the cliff, only the last vine is left in his hand, and the life-saving line is about to be broken.

Qin Fei still had no rest in the second half of the game, and had scored 32 points by the end of the third quarter.

"We believe in miracles!"

Warriors fans stood up, put their hands together, and cheered for their home team.

In the final quarter of the game, the confrontation between the two sides became more intense.

Malone received the fourth foul, and Marshall and Dampier were fouled four times.

At this time, it doesn't matter whether the battle is tactical or not, and it doesn't matter what others think, just do it when you get the ball, and shoot when you have the opportunity.

Qin Fei bombarded wildly and attacked the Jazz's position with his own strength.

He went inside countless times, was pulled out of the air countless times, some balls were scored, and some balls caused fouls.

If the opponent is a little farther away from him, he will score.

34 minutes

36 minutes

39 minutes

Qin Fei's personal score increased rapidly, and the Warriors gradually approached the score to single digits.

All the fans in front of the TV were stunned. They didn't expect Qin Fei to be so strong. He was just like Jordan.

42 minutes

Qin Fei broke his career scoring record in a single game, and also broke his personal playoff scoring record in a single game.

With 47 minute and 1 seconds left in the 24-point game, the Jazz lead by 6 points.

Malone caused a foul and made two free throws at the free throw line.

Qin Fei used the cover to rush into the paint again, and also caused a foul by Ma Long, making two free throws and scoring 49 points

"Isn't this guy tired? He wants to score 50 points?"

Sloan's eyes turned cold, and Qin Fei scored as many points as he wanted. At this time, Qin Fei was already at the end of his battle. He only wanted the Jazz to win, and he didn't care about anything else.

The Jazz ran out of attack clock, with 36.8 seconds left in the game.

Carlesimo arranged a three-pointer tactic.

The Jazz team dare not be careless. Qin Fei led the Sonics to complete a good show against the wind last year with 9.7 seconds left.

Therefore, Sloan was particularly wary of Qin Fei's three-pointer, and asked the players to resolutely double-team as long as Qin Fei got the ball.

The Warriors arranged a flank cover, Qin Fei came out to catch the ball, and sure enough, a bunch of people rushed to him.

Qin Fei didn't have room to shoot a three-pointer, so he gritted his teeth and pushed in.

The defense in the hinterland of the Jazz is not tight, Qin Fei rushed in, and many people along the way defended.

Qin Fei felt that there were 1 people in front of him blocking him.

With a loud shout, he gathered all his strength and collided with the crowd.

The referee didn't call a foul, just watched their super confrontation in the air like a meteor hitting the earth.

Qin Fei lost his balance, found a gap with his dangling arm, and then threw the ball.

Play the board, into the box!

The fans cheered endlessly and entered again!

If the previous game showed them a warrior team that never gave up, then in today's game, they saw an epic duel like a lone hero.

Although there are thousands of people, I will go

Qin Fei fell to the ground, unable to open his tired eyes, and could not wait for the whistle.

"drop--"

The Jazz paused.

In 29.7 seconds, the Jazz were 103 to 100, leading only the Warriors by 3 points.

Qin Fei has already scored 51 points, and all the fans are crazy.

It's too fierce, this is Qin Fei!

The fans all had their last hope, as long as the Jazz failed to score at the last moment, and then Qin Fei scored a three-pointer to tie the ball, then they could enter the overtime game!

The face of the Jazz team is very ugly.

For this sake, if you haven't won the game, what are you talking about about the championship?

"I'm coming, I will break in!"

Malone took off the towel and offered to be the executor of the last attack.

The entire Jazz team looked to Sloan.

Sloan's discipline is strict. Generally, the players do what the coach arranges. It is rare for a player to ask for an offense. Malone's request this time can be said to be very rare in his entire career.

Ma Long is also in a hurry. He is 36 years old. Although his personal competitive status has not declined significantly, he can't be killed by Qin Fei at the last minute every year in the playoffs!

He is a strong contender for the MVP of the league. After Jordan retires, he should be the star of the league. How can Qin Fei be allowed to take away the game like this?

So he felt a ruthless force gushing out from the depths of his heart.

After a timeout, the Jazz served in the backcourt.

In the frontcourt, Stockton continued to control the rhythm, and with 10 seconds left, he picked and rolled with Malone.

After blocking, dismantle.

The Warriors defended well. There were still players in front of Malone. Stockton passed the ball to Malone.

layup, board

"Shh!"

Also hit!

The arena shouting "defense" fell silent instantly, and the fans stared blankly at the field.

Hope appeared in front of my eyes, but slipped through my fingers.

7.8 seconds, 5 points, and only one timeout left.

The timeout is not enough, the Warriors are hopeless

Carlesimo called the last timeout, and all the Warriors fell silent.

In the arena, some fans had a sore nose and couldn't help but shed tears.

This is their favorite team, even if it is eliminated, it is also their favorite team.

The timeout ended and the Warriors returned to the court.

Qin Fei, who didn't give up, tried a strong three-point shot and hit the frame.

"The tide is over."

Roaring on the field, Malone threw the basketball into the sky.

Qin Fei shook his head helplessly, put his hands on his hips, and quietly waited for the end of the game.

"drop--"

The red light comes on and the game is over.

105 to 100, the Jazz finally won the series with difficulty.

The audience in the audience reacted at this last moment, sending continuous applause and cheers.

There were also Jazz players celebrating wantonly on the court.

They also felt that it was too difficult. At this last moment, they were almost about to be overturned by the Warriors, and they broke out in a cold sweat.

Qin Fei and others began to hug and greet the Jazz players.

Hornacek patted Qin Fei on the shoulder.

"You've done well enough, really, I've never seen a young man as strong as you."

Hornacek originally wanted to comfort Qin Fei.

After losing the game, Qin Fei's face was somewhat lonely and frustrated. He still wanted to lead the flight by himself, but it seemed that he was thinking too much and fell short.

Hearing Hornacek's comfort, Qin Fei smiled: "I still wanted to score 64 points, but after thinking about it, I should save some face for you and stop."

"Hahaha, thank you for stopping."

Hornacek knew that Qin Fei liked to joke, but he didn't take it seriously. 64 points in a single game, wouldn't that be higher than Jordan's league scoring record of 63 points in a single playoff game, which is obviously impossible.

Qin Fei went to hug Malone, Stockton and others, and finally shook hands with Jazz head coach Sloan.

The boss likes Qin Fei very much, although Qin Fei scored 51 points against the Jazz today, which made the Jazz team look ashamed and almost lost the game.

Qin Fei returned to the player channel, and Jazz fans were still celebrating.

Above the player tunnel, Warriors fans who supported Qin Fei's favorite team shouted and gave encouragement.

"It's already good Qin Fei, you are our idol!"

"Tonight's victory does not belong to us, but future victories belong to us!"

"You are the hero of the team, you have given your all and we are so proud of you!"

"Please don't leave the Warriors, we love you forever!"

Qin Fei took off his jersey, revealing his burly and muscular back muscles, which was full of masculine strength from a distance.

He threw the jersey to the fans, and his tall figure gradually disappeared into the long and dark player tunnel

　The shrinking season is over, the playoff round is over, I feel sorry for Feifei for three seconds, I haven't asked for tickets for a long time, please ask for various tickets, please subscribe~
