Chapter 376 Empathy
The reason why Qin Fei didn't attack much in the first half was because the Spurs did defend him relatively tightly on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was because the Warriors needed to play a good overall offense.

The further back, the veterans of the Spurs may not be as strong as the Warriors.

Hang them up front first, make them nervous, let them go all out.

At halftime, Carlisle spoke.

"You should strengthen your personal offense to create more damage and destroy the Spurs' overall defense. The Spurs' defensive strength may not decline in the second half, but it is also the best time to completely defeat them."

Qin Fei nodded. The Spurs no longer have a superstar, and the team's combat power has actually declined a lot. Maybe the regular season can still be seen based on the overall situation, but the gap in the playoffs will be large.

The game between the Jazz and the Suns also started after halftime between the Warriors and the Spurs.

The Suns also encountered some injury factors. In comparison, the Jazz's lineup is relatively neat.

This is not the first time the Jazz have entered the playoffs with a neat lineup, and their lineup has always been relatively complete.

Karl Malone, Hornacek, John Stockton, these players of the Jazz are all old and strong representatives.

And the older you get, the more fragrant you get, and the older you get, the more powerful you become.

There are always many people who think they are dead, but in fact their performance is always eye-popping.

The Suns have already introduced it before. The combination of Anfernee Hardaway and Jason Kidd was originally very exciting.

But such a team, which has always been full of hope, suffered some injuries during the season, Tom Gugliotta.Rex Chapman, if there is no injury, such a team should still be full of competitiveness in the West.

But now, it is difficult for the Suns to form a comparable combat effectiveness with the Jazz. From the analysis of the outside world, the Jazz should have a relatively obvious advantage.

Of course, everything cannot be said for sure, especially in the playoffs, the Suns still have hope of winning.

Back to the second half of the Warriors-Spurs game.

Players from both sides stood on the stage again.

In the second half of the game, the lineups of both sides did not have much adjustment.

However, the Warriors have undergone some subtle changes in their tactical arrangements. For example, Brian Grant, he and Big Ben made a swap, changing from the 4th position to the 5th position.

Of course, it's just a defensive exchange. On the offensive end, Brian Grant is still at the 4th position.

The opening jump ball was won by Big Ben, so the Spurs took possession of the ball at the beginning of the third quarter.

Avery Johnson has the ball half court, and David Robinson, comes up high, screens him for a pick-and-roll.

Blaylock's defense has been particularly aggressive.

Seeing that the Spurs were going to play a pick-and-roll offense, he stepped forward and pressed Johnson with the ball.

But this time the defense was too active, and Johnson suddenly replaced a crotch dribble with a left-handed breakthrough.

At this time, he did not perform a pick-and-roll screen, but he also formed a breakthrough, and David Robinson saw that the timing was wrong, and immediately made a roll.

The Warriors' defensive communication went awry, giving the Spurs room to break through and David Robinson caught the pass.

This is the Spurs' favorite team offensive rhythm. In the middle distance, David Robinson holds the basketball high and looks to the left and right.

As the 4th position, Samaki Walker made an air cut and went through the back door.

David Robinson took one look at Samaki Walker and, after drawing the attention of the Warriors' defense, passed the ball to the left.

On the left is Sean Elliott with the ball.

Elliott is not a very stable three-point shooter in his career, but in the past two years with the Spurs, his three-point shooting percentage is very good, and his three-point shooting percentage this season has also exceeded 3%.

The Warriors defended him with "coffee" and felt bad.

But when he rushed over, Elliott had already completed his shot. The three-pointer drew a wonderful arc in the air and plunged into the net.

"Fake!"

Caffey walked away cursing, feeling very upset. He is one of the warriors' perimeter defenders. Letting the opponent score a goal will seriously affect his final score in the game, and it will also affect his position in the coach's heart.

In the second half of the game, the Spurs' small moves obviously began to increase. Qin Fei came to the outside line, and Mario was defending him again. Mario pushed him, pinched his waist, pushed his knees, and did everything he could.

His elbows fight for as much room as possible for himself.

Qin Fei is used to this kind of small moves in the NBA. Few of the older players don't use small moves to defend.

This is normal. If you don't know how to make small moves, you will be embarrassed to say that you are a defensive champion.

He started to turn around, with his back to Mario's defense, stretching his arms outside the three-point line, asking for the ball to take the initiative.

This was originally the coach's midfield arrangement, and there is nothing wrong with it.

No one competes with him for the right to shoot. Qin Fei has unlimited shooting rights in the Warriors, just like O'Neal in the Lakers and Iverson in the 76ers. They are both top scorers in the team, and the coach relies on them very much.

Qin Fei received the ball and turned around to test the attack with three threats. Mario didn't dare to lean too tightly, and Qin Fei took a step after testing.

Suddenly tightened his body and nodded, pretending to shoot, and then made a large cross step with his left foot to the right to break through.

"boom!"

The two of them had a real confrontation. Qin Fei used his right hand to control the ball, turned around with his back, and switched to holding the ball with his left.

He took a long stride to the left, leaning on the defender, and then suddenly took a step back from the middle distance.

It was still a very familiar offensive move, but Mario was stuck in Qin Fei's position.

With one final step back, Qin Fei immediately stepped forward when he realized that he was about to shoot a jumper, but he was still a step behind.

Qin Fei's shooting posture is very good, and he also has a little backward movement when shooting normally.

Looking directly at the basket, his eyes are very clear and calm.

The perfect hand shape is very stable. After the basketball was thrown by him, it was accurately thrown into the basket.

"Huh!"

If the Spurs relied on team offense for the first time, then the Warriors were extremely individualistic. After all the players pulled apart, Qin Fei had room to play singles.

In the NBA, it doesn't mean that personal offense must not follow the tactics. Sometimes personal offense is also part of the tactics.

After he scored, it can be said that the tactics were successful, and the Warriors followed the coach's midfield arrangement.

What's wrong?Does opening up the space count as their work?
People need certain qualifications to open up space, not everyone can open up space.

The Spurs players seemed very calm and were not affected by Qin Fei's personal attack. They were still following team tactics.

David Robinson was still holding the ball in the middle distance, and there were already two people surrounding him, one in the front and one on the side. A pocket was hidden, waiting for David Robinson to enter the urn.

If David Robinson was young, relying on his movement speed, he would definitely attack with the ball, but now that he is old, it is really unwise to attack with the ball to challenge the inside line of Brian Grant and Big Ben.

At this time, someone from the Spurs made an air cut through the back door. David Robinson still wanted to pass the ball. The moment the basketball hit the ground and bounced, a black shadow suddenly appeared.

It's really funny, the same trick, do you want to continue to work in front of me, Qin?

Qin Fei sneered and accepted the basketball.

Immediately after the on-the-spot steal, a fast break was launched.

Master of offensive and defensive transitions!

Qin Fei was as vigorous as a cheetah, and the speed and acceleration of the start were astonishing.

While dribbling, go fast.

Observe the movement of teammates while dribbling.

It was Elliott of the Spurs who came to defend Qin Fei. There was nothing he could do. He was the only one who could keep up with him. The rest, such as Mario, were still eating ashes behind Qin Fei's ass!

Qin Fei stepped in to dribble and saw Elliott rushing towards him.

Holding the ball in his right hand, lowering his shoulder, there was a sudden shake.

It seemed that he was about to break through to the right, but in fact he dribbled the ball behind his back suddenly, and jumped far to the left with a big leap.

Good guy, this breakthrough alone may even cross the Pacific Ocean!

The Spurs fans felt that Elliott stayed in place like a wooden man, and Qin Fei dribbled the ball behind his back and made a breakthrough.

Fast break is also a headache for the Spurs. Who will stop Qin Fei who is running wild?
In the past, some people always said that Qin Fei was not talented enough, not as good as other 96 NBA players.

But now Qin Fei is a frequent visitor to the top five players in the NBA. His physical talent has made great progress, and he has become a figure like a bird and a beast.

Now the lack of talent is the Spurs, and the Spurs have no one to rule Qin Fei.

After Qin Fei passed Elliott's defense, the front was almost flat.

"Are you coming?"

The Spurs fans complained about Qin Fei, and the boos never stopped, but when they saw Qin Fei directly facing the basket, they couldn't help but stare round, for fear of missing any exciting scenes.

"The troll belongs to the troll, the competition belongs to the competition, and the highlights belong to the highlights"

When watching the game, you must distinguish everything clearly, otherwise the fans will be too tired.

No one can catch up with Qin Fei. Qin Fei took three big steps like a black lightning bolt.

At the third step, the basket was seen, and he jumped up, spinning in the air, holding the basketball with one hand, and reversed 360 degrees.

Then give it a final, gentle push down.

"Pong!"

Qin Fei slightly bent his knees to buffer the huge potential energy brought by the dunk.

The atmosphere of the audience froze, and the "hehe" of the Spurs fans was suppressed and held in their throats, and they didn't know what to say.

Qin Fei shook his head, expressionless.

The camera is shown on Qin Fei.

At this time, the calmer you are, the more
All the Spurs fans in the audience started to hate Qin Fei a little bit, it was so disgusting, even if you yelled a little bit, they could follow suit, what do you do now?
The scattered Warriors fans and Qin Fei fans were very happy.

In the second half, the Warriors were completely different. It should be said that Qin Fei was completely different. With this strong personal offensive ability, he could destroy the Spurs in minutes.

David Robinson and his teammates looked at each other with bitterness in their hearts.

It's really a turn of events. Last year, the Spurs were so majestic. Duncan added him in the second grade, swept the league, and finally won the championship.

This year is completely different, and "even the Warriors" can't deal with it.

And Qin Fei was also unceremonious, pushing them to explode the hammer.

"Didn't you eat? The defense should be tougher!"

Popovich yelled from the sidelines, which surprised Qin Fei, because the words seemed familiar.

The Spurs' offense also scored this time, and Johnson completed a small throw after a breakthrough.

The Warriors attacked, and the ball was still given to Qin Fei.

This time the Spurs' defense was tighter, especially for Qin Fei. When he got the ball, everyone around was nervous.

The referee stared at the small movements of the defensive players, but did not express anything.

In today's era, this level of confrontation is very normal, and there are some small moves. In the playoffs, the referee basically turns a blind eye.

After all, no one wants to be scolded. As a referee, being fair is the most basic professional ethics.

As soon as Qin Fei broke through, the Spurs immediately formed a double-team defense at the mid-range position.

The Warriors' wing Caffey does not have a three-point basket. One of his offensive methods is mainly to hit the basket.

The Spurs' defensive line shrunk relatively tightly, because without Duncan, they could not form a strong system.

Kafei hit the basket after receiving the pass from Qin Fei.

As soon as the ball was shot, David Robinson's long arm covered the sky and the sun.

"Snapped!"

The basketball was blocked directly off the court by David Robinson.

Carlisle frowned off the court, always feeling that the Warriors' offense at the moment was not as smooth as expected.

Caffey's role is very important. He is the Warriors' defensive gate and has rich experience.

But in the current situation, the Spurs' outside offensive ability is not very strong, and the main role of coffee is weakened.

So Carlisle felt that there were some problems in the offense. After thinking about it, he beckoned and put Billups on the field.

Billups was originally the 7th and 8th man in the Warriors, but later in the season, some of his qualities were valued by Carlisle.

Even in the playoffs, the first substitute player that Carlisle thought of was Billups.

If Billups is here, then Qin Fei will move to the 3rd position.

Billups is a tall point guard, more than enough to defend the 2nd position.

A player with three-point defense and no mistakes on the court may have a rough early career due to statistics or certain relationships, but after a certain age and enough experience, he will become the coach's most popular player.

Puth, for example, has walked on such a path, and the future and future are very bright.

However, Billups did not appear in this round. After he was called to the sideline by the coach, he followed some suggestions from Carlisle and began to think about it.

The Warriors on the court continued to attack.

Qin Fei read the defense, transferred the ball to Blaylock on the other side, and he passed the ball to Grant in the low post.

It is rare for Grant to challenge David Robinson, but the offense in this round is obviously relatively inefficient.

In the end, the ball hit the front and was rebounded by David Robinson.

The Spurs attacked David Robinson with a low hook, and David Robinson made up the defense. Although he failed to block him, his shot speed was significantly faster.

The ball was missed, and Grant turned around and grabbed the rebound.

The Spurs guard against the Warriors' fast break.

When there is no fast break opportunity, Blaylock will dribble across the half court and continue to play positional warfare.

The Warriors opted for a high pick-and-roll, and Blaylock got a good shot in the pick-and-roll, but instead of attacking himself, he passed the ball to Grant.

Grant belonged to the downswing, and Ben and Qin Fei on the other side made an off-ball screen.

Qin Fei was going to make an air cut, but finally found that the defensive players had been guarding against his air cut, so he suddenly bounced out, and then took advantage of Da Ben's cover to give him a chance.

Such direct shooting opportunities are not common in the Warriors' offense, but Qin Fei will definitely not miss such an opportunity. After receiving the ball, he made a steady jump shot and hit two points from the mid-range.

Popovich requested a timeout on the sidelines. The Spurs are now in a dangerous situation. No one came to stop Qin Fei's attack.

If Qin Fei is just a player who can break through, then the Spurs can develop their own offensive system to limit him, but Qin Fei's offense is more comprehensive, not only can break through, but also can make mid-range shots, which is more difficult to defend.

Popovich also felt a special headache.

If Duncan is still there, it will be defensive shooting but not sudden, and Duncan's ability to protect the inside line can be relied on to limit Qin Fei's offense.

It's a pity that Duncan is not here, and David Robinson is more or less unable to support himself. Half of the twin towers tactic has been abolished, and the Spurs' offensive system has completely collapsed in the past two years.

Billups thought for a long time on the sidelines, and was ready to play, but the Spurs called a timeout.

Qin Fei has scored 20 points and scored 3 points in a row in the third quarter.

The scene of the scene was fixed on Qin Fei, showing his personal statistics for this season's regular season.

It was the first time that many fans who watched the game on TV knew that Qin Fei was so fierce and averaged more than 1 points per game this season.

Some of these fans are like this. They don't pay much attention to the regular season, and they will not really become fans until the NBA playoffs start.

The two sides returned to the court, and the Spurs began to give Qin Fei some offensives, and gave him a stronger physical confrontation, wishing to keep a close eye on Qin Fei.

As soon as Qin Fei got the ball from beyond the three-point line, the entire Spurs rushed forward.

"Fuck, what are you doing?"

Qin Fei didn't have time to complain, so he quickly passed the ball to Braylock to reorganize.

The Spurs have gone crazy, sparing no effort to limit Qin Fei's offense, using very standard Jordan's rules.

For such an attack, Qin Fei will also read the defense by himself. He feels that there is no need to attack again, and he can try to let his teammates who will get more space to attack.

This shows Carlisle's substitution skills. In this round, Carlisle replaced Billups on the field.

Popovich shook his head. He didn't expect Carlisle's coaching level to be so high, or maybe it was just that the opponent wanted to make lineup adjustments, and then happened to encounter the Spurs' wave of adjustments hitting their guns.

Under Qin Fei's leadership, the Spurs' defense seemed a bit weak.

Soon, the Warriors gained a double-digit lead in the third quarter.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Warriors began a large-scale personnel rotation, including Grant, who had already received three fouls, and was replaced.

After O'Neal's debut, the Warriors' offensive firepower became even stronger.

At the end of the three quarters, the Warriors lead the Spurs 77:67.

The Warriors just led by 10 points, and Qin Fei scored 11 points in this quarter, and the audience has already scored 25 points.

His scoring was mainly concentrated in the first half, laying the foundation for the Warriors to lead.

Qin Fei was sweating profusely and went to rest.

The Spurs have more frequent personnel rotation than the Warriors. Like David Robinson, although he is the absolute main force of the Spurs today, he only plays 30 minutes in a game at most.

So this aspect is also a disadvantage of the Spurs. It is impossible for their main force to play more than 40 minutes in a game like the main force of the Warriors. Like Qin Fei, he can directly play the entire third quarter. This is not advisable for the Spurs.

There are also some. For example, when Duncan first entered the league, he had to play 38 minutes and 39 minutes per game. Now that Duncan has suffered a meniscus tear, many outsiders are also criticizing Popovich's employment methods.

After more than a year of team running-in, the Warriors are actually quite familiar with each other. In the playoffs, everyone has not suffered from injuries. It can be said that the combat effectiveness is not low.

The Spurs barely stick to the Warriors' score, and in the playoffs, the physical strength of the old players has also become a problem.

The Spurs fans were very disappointed. They said that everyone had similar combat capabilities and rich experience, but the result was a fucking lie.

How to play without superstars in the playoffs, there is no way to match up.

Qin Fei is a super giant, Duncan is also a super giant, and David Robinson used to be, but now, he is barely.

In the middle of the 4th quarter, this is when Qin Fei re-appeared. At this time, the Warriors had already led by about 15 points.

Qin Fei was playing soy sauce when he came up, leading by so many points, as long as he kept it within 3 minutes, the Spurs had no hope of making a comeback.

He played for 3 minutes, and within 3 minutes, Carlisle immediately replaced him, fearing that Qin Fei would be injured due to unnecessary games.

The Spurs fans are very loyal. Even though the team is behind and the game is in garbage time, no one left the field. They waved flags and shouted loudly, hoping to continue to cheer for the team.

The whole game is over, and the Warriors finally defeated the Spurs 107 to 93.

Qin Fei scored a game-high 27 points.

In addition, he also contributed 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

"There is no explosive data, but the Spurs are still defeated. The gap between the two teams is really obvious."

ESPN's commentator said so after the game.

It is also a normal state of the NBA to blow when you win and spray when you lose.

Qin Fei had already maintained a good attitude, so after winning the first game, he still wasn't in any particularly happy state.

So at the press conference after the game, the reporter asked Qin Fei strangely.

"Why do you seem to be very unhappy when you obviously won the game?"

Qin Fei shrugged his shoulders.

“Why should we be happy? Is the series over?”

"The series isn't over at all, we haven't completely won yet, it's too early to be happy."

Far away in Los Angeles, a man with an afro watched the live broadcast of the press conference after the game.

When he heard Qin Fei utter such wise words, this man felt the same way, and these words almost reached his heart.

He always felt that Qin Fei was not the kind of player with a particularly fighting spirit, but now that he heard Qin Fei's words, he felt that he still underestimated him.

If nothing else happened, in the next round, the two of them should fight against each other, which made his blood boil.

It's even a little impatient...
