Chapter 374
Dayao is chasing his basketball dream.

In this era of torrent and forge ahead, everyone may be the darling of fate, and everyone may show themselves on a higher and wider stage.

The playoffs are no strangers to this Warriors team.

Last year, the Warriors had already reached the playoffs.

Of course, the status of No.8 is not high.

After that, the Warriors lost in the first round.

Last year, the Warriors' opponent was the Jazz. This year, the Warriors' opponent in the first round was replaced by the Spurs.

Logically speaking, the Spurs are not as easy as playing against the Jazz. If the Warriors lose a game, such as the Suns, they may face the Jazz again.

But in the end, the Warriors did not choose to do so.

The main reason is that there is no need for this, and the Spurs and Jazz are really not much different.

Moreover, the records between the Jazz and the Spurs have always been relatively close. Maybe the Warriors lost a game and dropped to sixth, and then the Spurs also have the opportunity to surpass the Jazz in an instant and become No.3.

Of course, Qin Fei will not admit that the most important reason is not because the Spurs have encountered an injury crisis. It seems that the record of the top four in the Western Conference is actually the weakest among the teams in the upper half of the Western Conference.

In the afternoon when he came to San Antonio, Qin Fei saw many Spurs fans on the street.

These fans are wearing Spurs jerseys and have oil on their faces. Even if it is not a game day, they have already started to warm up and are ready to cheer for the home team.

The Spurs are the defending champions.

Last year's Spurs, with a dark horse attitude, finally won the championship trophy.

It is not entirely accurate to say that they are dark horses. At least the Spurs' record can still be seen in the league.

The Spurs fans are very strong, even though the team has suffered such a huge and painful blow, they still work hard to move forward.

When the playoffs came to the fore this year, the Spurs became the top eight teams in the Western Conference and the team they most wanted to encounter among the other seven teams.

Because the Spurs' Tim Duncan was injured.

Qin Fei has never admitted that the reason why he is so active in reaching the top five is because he wants to play against the Spurs.

In fact, Duncan hadn't been injured in the hard fight with the Suns before.

It wasn't until the end of the season that Duncan suffered the biggest injury of his career so far-a torn meniscus and was reimbursed for the season.

And this year is Duncan's contract year, the last year of his rookie contract.

Such an injury has somewhat affected Duncan's value in the free market.

Including the entire Spurs, some people will worry about whether Duncan can recover, or in other words, after recovery, will he still be the "flying devil"?How strong is the combat power?

A torn meniscus is a common injury suffered by NBA players.

Once the meniscus is torn, it is basically impossible to restore [-]% athletic ability. Therefore, players who have suffered a torn meniscus will generally undergo a transformation.

From the fierce series at the beginning, rushing and attacking, and after the meniscus was torn, it slowly transformed into technical flow, floor flow and old fritters.

Of course, this is not absolute. Someone can use a fierce style of play without a meniscus to obtain the top combat power of the league.

Duncan's injury has cast a shadow over the Spurs' upcoming playoffs.

And in the Spurs lineup, not only Duncan was injured, but also Dazhi.

Chinese fans were looking forward to this round of the series, thinking it might be the best derby match, but as a result, the game was nothing to watch.

The Warriors seemed to be here to pick up the leak, but Qin Fei would not admit it.

They also won the fifth place in the Western Conference based on their ability. Why do they say they missed it?
Besides, there are also some media who are not optimistic about their victory over the Spurs. For example, the media in San Antonio all believe that the Spurs can at least advance to the first round.

Anyway, I feel that an inexperienced team like the Warriors will not be able to please the old-fashioned Spurs.

As for Qin Fei, what does that matter?
The Spurs are team basketball, individual performance is not important, no matter how strong one person is, he can't beat five players——

On the evening of April 4, the four playoff games started.

The first game is the 76ers against the Hornets.

The East started the war first, and under the leadership of Iverson, the 76ers beat the Hornets 92 to 82.

Among them, Iverson scored 40 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.

A score of 40 points was a good start.

For Iverson himself, the score of 40 points is a new high in a single game of his personal career playoffs. Last year, he entered the playoffs for the first time, and the highest score he ever scored was 37 points.

So this belongs to Iverson's career night, in the first game of the 00 playoffs.

In the regular season of this season, Iverson averaged 29.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.1 steals per game.

Among them, the score is the third in the league, and the steals are the fifth in the league.

Throughout the league's regular season, everyone's appearance rate is relatively high. Qin Fei ranks first in points per game. Qin Fei averages 31.2 points per game and is the only player in the league with an average of more than 30 points per game.

20 points is the watershed between league scorers and average players.

If he can average 20 points per game, then we generally call this player a high-quality scorer. If his shooting percentage is not bad, then we can call him an efficient scorer.

An average of 30 points per game is an achievement that can only be achieved by the league's top scorers.

There are many players in history who have averaged 30 points per game. This is also the most standard judgment to measure whether a player is a top scorer.

Qin Fei averaged 31.2 points per game, the highest average in a single season since the 92-93 season.

But that season, Jordan played only 78 games, while Qin Fei played all 82 games this season. In terms of total points scored in a single season, Qin Fei was still higher than Jordan in that season.

No. 2 in the league's scoring rankings this year is O'Neal who broke out in the late stage and finally scored 29.7 points.

29.7 points is also the single-season scoring average of O'Neal's career. In addition, he also averaged 13.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3 blocks per game, showing unparalleled dominance on both ends of the offense and defense.

The O'Neal of this period is the serious O'Neal, and also the O'Neal of the peak period.

So O'Neal's attitude determines his difference this season. In the end, he has always been far ahead in the MVP rankings, which proves that he is a shark with pursuit.

These three are the top three in the rankings in scoring per game, and they are also in the first sequence.

After these three, the scoring dropped sharply. The fourth place is Grant Hill, who averaged 25.8 points per game, a career high, and the fifth is Carter, who averaged 25.7 points per game, a career high.

Followed by Karl Malone with 25.5 points, Chris Webber with 24.5 points, Gary Payton with 24.2 points, Stackhouse with 23.6 points and Tim Duncan with 23.2 points.

Kobe ranked No. 22.5 in the league with a score of 13, which is also a new career high.

There are too many players with new career highs. Looking around, they are all new career highs, including Qin Fei.

The scoring of the entire league has exploded. There are 20 players with an average of more than 21 points per game. The last one is Eddie Jones with an average of 20.1 points per game.

In terms of rebounding data, Mutombo won the title of rebounding king, averaging 14.1 rebounds per game, the first in the league.

O'Neal ranked second with 13.6 rebounds per game.

Then came Ben with 12.8 rebounds per game, Duncan with 12.4 rebounds per game and Kevin Garnett with 11.8 rebounds per game.

In measuring whether an insider is a qualified insider, rebounds are a good measure of data.

Generally, if he can average more than 10 rebounds per game, we think that this player is a very good rebounder and a qualified starting-level insider.

In addition, Kidd won the title of the league's assist king, Alonzo Mourning is the block king, and Qin Fei is the steal king.

On the evening of the 22nd, except for the game between the 76ers and the Hornets.

There are also the Pistons and the Heat, the Warriors and the Spurs, the Jazz and the Suns.

Basically, one game after another, the game arrangement is relatively tight.

When the game between the Warriors and the Spurs began, the game between the Pistons and the Heat was drawing to a close.

The first-round series of the NBA playoffs is a 5-match 3-win system. If it is fast, this round of the series can be completed by early May.

Qin Fei and others set foot on the Spurs Arena.

From the moment he stepped into the arena, boos from all the players flooded in.

The momentum is very large.

Looking around, there is a vast expanse of whiteness.

On this day, ESPN also made a special trip to broadcast the game live across the United States.

"The Warriors played with the full lineup. Before the start of the playoffs, the only injured number, Kafei, also returned to the lineup. He performed well in the previous few games and has returned to the starting lineup."

According to the usual practice, the host first analyzed the lineups of both sides. After some comparison, he found that the Warriors still have a great advantage, and then introduced the starting lineups of both sides.

Warriors: Blaylock, Qin Fei, Caffey, Grant, Big Ben.

The Spurs' starting lineup: Avery Johnson, Mario Ellis, Sean Elliott, Samaki Walker and David Robinson.

In the team's starting lineup, four players are over 30 years old, and the youngest is Samaki Walker. As Duncan's replacement, he is 24 years old this year and entered the league with the ninth pick in 96.

Qin Fei is not very familiar with Samaki, and has had contact with David Robinson and Avery Johnson.

Before the game started, I made a special trip to find these two to hug and greet.

Avery Johnson also had a bitter look on his face.

"It's not easy to fight, and there are few people."

After he finished speaking, he felt a little imposing on the enemy and destroying his own morale, and changed his words: "Of course, even so, today's victory must still be ours. You are ready to lose!"

Qin Fei:? ? ?
Qin Fei suddenly remembered the Peking duck. The whole body of the dead duck was crispy, but the mouth was still hard.

The two teams exchanged polite greetings, the so-called etiquette first, soldiers later.

When the referee took the ball to the court, the players of the two teams put away their smiles and stood indifferently on both sides. Big Ben and Samaki stood in the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

Samaki Walker is a young black player, and in terms of height, he is comparable to Big Ben.

The physical fitness is still good, but the body is too thin and not very resistant to confrontation.

The jump ball between the two, Walker almost touched the ball first.

The first wave of offensive possession was given to the Warriors.

Grant passed the ball to Blaylock, and Qin Fei and others ran to the frontcourt one after another.

"Defense, defend!"

The fans immediately shouted in unison.

At the same time, many flags in the arena were waving.

So what if it's a lineup defect?San Antonio felt they were never going to throw in the towel, and the Spurs had a chance.

The defensive intensity in the playoffs was too strong, and as soon as Blaylock passed halftime, Johnson posted it.

"Snapped!"

The two confronted, and Blaylock turned around, switched to a left-handed dribble, and extended his hand to direct.

"Turn to the weak side!"

Qin Fei yelled and told his teammates to leave.

Grant walked around, and Qin Fei and Da Ben made an off-ball screen.

Big Ben blocked Mario Eli well.

Qin Fei came out, and Blaylock immediately passed the ball.

Qin Fei received the ball and turned around, facing Ellie who was chasing after him, swayed in the opposite direction, and then broke through to the right.

In the blink of an eye, Eli passed.

After all, Ellie is also a 37-year-old veteran. Even if he was a strong player back then, he was afraid of being young. The moment Qin Fei passed him, it was like a strong wind.

Ellie has a lot of experience and has a lot of little tricks.

After being passed, he immediately turned around and retreated.

Qin Fei dribbled the ball with the wind, and patted the ball down with his right hand. After it bounced, he caught it with his left hand. In the blink of an eye, he had already taken a big step.

"Kill in?"

Everyone in the Spurs was nervous.

As a result, near the bottom line, Qin Fei closed up with the ball and suddenly took a big step outward.

Step back and jump shot!

When Eli caught up, Qin Fei had already completed the jump shot. There was actually a big space between the two of them, but he still stretched out his hand to cover Qin Fei's eyes.

Qin Fei's hand shape is excellent.

Although it was tactical, it was still like singles.

It's just that the efficiency of this singles is very high, and the final shooting is also in full condition.

"Shh!"

The basketball pierced through the net amid the "defensive" calls from the audience.

The moment they passed through the net, there were exclamations and sighs in the entire arena.
They are all veterans who have been fighting for many years, and their mentality has been adjusted to the best from the very beginning, so they have already entered the state at the beginning of the game.

Ellie was a little speechless, Qin Fei moved too fast, even if he had time to react, his body couldn't keep up with Qin Fei's rhythm.

Defending Qin Fei requires full concentration. If he is not paying attention, the opponent will score.

"The game has just begun, be steady."

David Robinson roared, and he also encouraged casually.

In fact, he doesn't need to be encouraged. The Spurs are full of veterans.

Eli didn't feel the end of the world because he didn't defend Qin Fei's ball. The game had to go on, and he was still the most trusted flank defender of the Spurs.

After Qin Fei scored the goal, the host also talked about Qin Fei's excellent performance in the regular season this season.

"During the regular season, Qin Fei can contribute nearly 30+5+5 data per game. With Qin Fei's scoring ability, it is difficult for the Spurs to defend the perimeter."

"In front of the Spurs, it seems that only Jordan's rules are left."

"Without Jordan's rules, it would be very difficult for the Spurs to win this game."

The hosts also opened their mouths and immediately arranged tactics for the Spurs.

Of course, analyzing the situation on the field is their job as the host of the scene, which has always been done.
