Chapter 350 The Last Snow
It's been an unseasonably cold month in California.

A meteorological expert from San Francisco TV station described that the weather was so cold that it suddenly accelerated from 0 yards to 100 yards.
Severe winter winds blew across the entire west coast region, and the last heavy snow at the end of 1999 came quietly in this howling winter wind.

Parts of the Antelope Valley in the Mojave Desert had snowfall of up to 8 inches, or 20cm, and the interstate highway leading to California was once closed in both directions.

On December 12, Christmas Eve, according to the Los Angeles Times, a cave fire broke out in the Los Padres National Forest, with an area of ​​more than 23 acres burned.

Every winter, there will always be one or two big fires to add to the fun, painting a beautiful picture of ice and fire.

According to the forecast of the Meteorological Bureau, this winter storm will continue to develop, bringing heavy snow and strong winds to hit parts of the western United States. At present, parts of Wyoming and South Dakota have also issued blizzard warnings.

The snow is too heavy. Fortunately, the Warriors have no road trip to the Eastern Conference in the near future, otherwise they will really suffer.

In the past few days until Christmas, they are basically playing at home, even if they are playing away, they are basically in the western region, and some cities can be reached by bus.

The senior students took the winter vacation early, and the internship should be done, and the one who should go home should go home.

On Christmas Eve, Qin Fei went to Los Angeles to pick up Helena back to the Bay Area.

Even Qin Fei couldn't drive the sports car, but Helena was able to take off her shoes and curled up on the co-pilot.

"I will be graduating from senior year in a blink of an eye. I still remember when I first entered college, how time flies!"

Helena was a little emotional, looking at the continuous snow in the sky, her thoughts were racing.

"Haha~"

Qin Fei was happy: "You are so young, where do you have so many emotions?"

Helena gave Qin Fei a blank look, and then stabbed him.

"You haven't finished college. Of course you don't know the fun of college. When you think about graduating, you will always be nostalgic. After all, it is a place where you have lived for four years."

Four years, in the life of ordinary people, the four years with the best health, that is the university period.

When I was in college, I could sleep as late as I wanted, play however I wanted, study however I wanted, everything became very free.

Once you get into a job, even if you just graduated from university, there will be some various minor problems.

When you are in your thirties, there will be more minor problems, just like a car, when a certain number of years is up, it is no longer the basics, but the maintenance.

Qin Fei was poked, but was also speechless. He had only "studied" college for a year, but deep in his memory, he had been in college for several years. In theory, he should have been in college for five years.

But he is not easy to refute, shaking his head: "One year is happy for one year, four years is happy for four years, five years is happy for five years"

"Why five years?" Helena was a little puzzled.

"It's not important, I just reported the year casually."

There wasn't much traffic on the interstate highway. Qin Fei had checked the weather and found that the snowstorm would last for a while, so now everyone can't come out if they can. There is really no way for someone like him to go far in a snowy day.

Qin Fei talked about some interesting things that happened in the game between him.

Also including some tough games recently.

"After December, although our record is still relatively stable, the team will actually encounter some very difficult games, and sometimes even hit overtime."

"There's been three overtime games since December, and we've only won one of them."

"I am now the number one core of the Warriors. At the end of the game, everyone must rush to defend me. This is very difficult. Although most of my choices are made by myself, if my teammates are absolutely empty, I will still choose teammates."

What Qin Fei and Helena said was actually some of his more distressed thoughts recently.

Playing a game is a game. If all the options are seen through by the opponent at the last moment, then the opponent's defensive task will become much easier. For the team, it is not a very favorable choice.

At critical moments, specific issues must be analyzed in detail.

It's just that the feeling of losing is not very good. Qin Fei, like all NBA players, is eager to win any game.

For Helena, sitting in the car with snow falling outside, and then listening to Qin Fei's complaints is also very interesting. The two of them are usually too far apart, and they can't meet each other all the time. Listening to Qin Fei's personal stories will make her feel closer to each other.

"I heard that the team's lineup needs a running-in period, and there is no need to pay too much attention to the initial pains of running-in. After a while, everything will be fine."

Helena would also chime in from time to time.

But most of the time, Qin Fei was still talking alone.

The two talked all the way, and the time passed unconsciously.

By the time we got back to the Bay Area, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Qin Fei took the time to park at a convenience store on the side of the road.

Helena got out of the car and went to the convenience store to buy things. When she was at the front desk, she bought a large box of daily necessities.

She trotted all the way into the car, gave Qin Fei a coquettish look, and said angrily, "Next time, you should buy it yourself. Are the ones at home used up so soon?"

Qin Fei was a little proud.

"No way, the dosage is too large."

"Are you sure it's only for me? I'm going to check the quantity."

Helena has a deep feeling for the animal physique of NBA players. Every day, she looks like a monster with ruthless energy. Every time she comes over, she can't get out of bed until noon.

So she was also worried that Qin Fei was so energetic, rich and handsome.

It was okay when I was not famous before, but now that I am famous, there are more gossip.

Last time, there was news that he had dinner with some supermodel.

It really made people feel very insecure, so she simply bought more, and it was best to squeeze him dry in front of the warm fireplace in this winter when it is not suitable to go out.

Although this matter is indeed somewhat difficult.

The heavy snow at the end of 1999 in the west of the United States covered the world with a layer of silver, which seemed to completely bury some memories of the 90s.

On Christmas Day, the Warriors did not play.

The snowy weather was bad, so Qin Fei didn't let Mandy and Aunt Julie come over.

This year's Christmas, it's just him and Helena.

On the second day, some of Qin Fei's teammates from the Warriors came to visit, including Blaylock, Artest, Da Ben and others. Some of them dragged their families and came to Qin Fei's villa.

The number of people in the villa suddenly increased a lot, and it became lively.

On the 29th, the Warriors played against the Philadelphia 76ers at home.

This was the Warriors' last game in '99 and the last game of the '90s.

The 76ers led by Iverson are a bit miserable. They happen to belong to the stage of the Eastern Conference road trip. They have played against the Supersonics and Grizzlies before.

Playing the Warriors is already the third away game in the West.

Previously, the 76ers had a record of 16 wins and 14 losses.

The record is average, just over 50.00%, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference.

So for the 76ers, games are very important. If you lose one more game, at the last moment, it will be very embarrassing to compete for a playoff spot.

Iverson came to Oakland ahead of schedule and paid a special visit to Qin Fei.

The two met, had dinner together, and exchanged some recent games and things in life.

This season, Iverson's statistics are still impressive, and it can be said that he is making steady progress.

But the team's record is relatively hip, and it is slightly worse than the same period last season.

The record of the 76ers has entered a bottleneck period. It seems that with Iverson's strength, he can only bring the 76ers to this situation, and it is very difficult to go up.

"The good thing is that I have returned to the position of shooting guard. Now I am a very pure shooting guard, so that my offensive ability can be better released."

What Iverson means is that the role he plays in the team now is just like Qin Fei's role in the Warriors. Both of them are ball-handling shooting guards.

Or to put it more precisely, both of them are shooting guards with a breakthrough + mid-range jumper.

Scoring is the homepage, and connecting teammates is the sideline.

Both of them also shoot three-pointers, but three-pointers are not the main means of their game. Like Iverson, he has shot a lot of three-pointers this season, but he only takes 4 shots in a game. He now takes nearly 24.8 shots every night, and three-pointers account for 16% of all his shots.

"It is true that scoring is already a very easy thing for the two of us, but we have to take into account the victory of the game while scoring, and that is another topic on another level."

Qin Fei's slightly self-flattering words made Iverson look sideways.

Scoring is not so easy, is it?

What Qin Fei said seemed to be as simple as drinking coffee for the two of them to score some points now.

Iverson will also regret the team's injury problems.

This season, the 76ers' configuration is actually very good, but often when a team is on the rise, there will be such a blow. For example, the team's main force, Theo Ratliff, suffered from injuries at the beginning of this season. The truce has not played yet.

拉特利夫是76人队的内线防守核心，上赛季在76人队场均贡献11.2分8.1篮板和3次封盖。

Among them, the average blocks per game is No.3 in the league, second only to Mourning, who averaged 3.9 blocks per game, and Bradley, who averaged 3.2 blocks per game.

The absence of such a player will have a great impact on the team. After all, the 76ers originally had a colander on the outside and are still waiting for someone to make up the defense. Once the system is disrupted, the power of the system will drop a lot.

Qin Fei sighed after hearing this. Fortunately, the Warriors are basically strong men. So far, only Cummings and Starks have suffered injuries, and the overall physical condition is very good.

Tonight, the Warriors host the Philadelphia 76ers.

Iverson is very attractive in the market, but at this time the road is blocked by heavy snow, many people are staying at home and not going out, and the attendance rate of the stadium is quite average. It is estimated that the ratings will increase a lot.

Qin Fei and Iverson are now number one and number two on the scoring list.

The battle for the scoring champion is also a very hot topic, which has attracted the attention of fans.

That night, Iverson fought Qin Fei, Larry Brown VS Rick Carlisle.

Generals against generals, handsome against handsome, catch and fight against each other
Iverson is very familiar with Qin Fei. Back then in Georgetown, when he was already a talented college student famous all over the United States, Qin Fei was just a freshman with a non-major background.

Qin Fei started to climb up step by step from joining the school basketball team.

He quickly became a second-team player, then a first-team backup, and finally edged out Page as Georgetown's starter that season.

This is definitely a legendary story, no one has been able to improve like him.

Qin Fei was like a layman who didn't meet the standards of a professional player. In college, he made a qualitative leap and really opened the door.

In fact, a player like him, even though he is in college, is already an insider.

Iverson also looked away.

He admitted that he knew that Qin Fei had the ability to make continuous progress, but he never thought that Qin Fei's progress would be so endless.

Since entering the NBA, the two began to walk two lines.

Iverson continued to be the core of the team. Of course, he also spent a lot of hard work on getting to the core. Overall, it was smooth sailing.

Qin Fei became the team's substitute again, starting from a marginal player and stepping into the team's rotation lineup step by step.

Then a substitute, then an important substitute, the sixth man, and finally in the second season, entered the team's starting lineup.

At this time, Qin Fei was already a newly rising superstar in the league. In the second season, he averaged 19 points per game, which was enough to disdain many outside players in the same period.

What's more, Qin Fei is still a defensive player, and both offensive and defensive ends have become an existence that provides energy for the Supersonics.

He became an All-Star during the regular season and was named to the All-NBA team at the end of the season.

In the playoffs, Qin Fei continued to hang around all the way, and finally a jaw-dropping thing happened. Qin Fei and the Supersonics won the championship together, becoming the first player in the 96th session to complete the championship.

This time, Iverson really woke up, it turned out that Qin Fei was already so strong
This is his perspective on Qin Fei's journey as a college teammate. Like a snail, he climbed up step by step, and no one knew where his limit was.

Last season, Qin Fei was promoted to the league's supernova, a first-line star player.

This season, Qin Fei has gone one step further. He is already a superstar figure discussed in the league, and even hopes to compete for the MVP.

And he's just 21 years old, and many people haven't graduated from college when he's his age.

Iverson especially wanted to defeat Qin Fei in this game, which was the bottom line he could endure as Qin Fei's big brother back then.

It's different from the Supersonic period. At the Supersonics, Iverson lost if he lost. After all, Qin Fei hugged his thighs at that time.

But it's different now. Now both of them are the stars of the team. If they lose the game, they lose to each other. There is no doubt about it.

Before the game, in the locker room, Iverson encouraged his teammates loudly.

"This game is very important. If we win this game, we will be able to open up two wins with the Raptors, and we will be closer to the sixth Bucks in the Eastern Conference."

Iverson said some nonsense, and then gave the right to speak to the head coach who pushed through the door.

Larry Brown is a very strict coach. The players were a little laughing, but now they suddenly became serious, and the air seemed to freeze.

"I'll talk a little more about Qin Fei's defense."

"It mainly consumes physical energy and destroys his offensive rhythm. George Lynch is the main force of defense, in the right elbow position."

Larry Brown spoke in great detail, and obviously made a very detailed strategy on Qin Fei's defense, and everyone listened attentively.
