Chapter 386 Double One
The black No. [-] jersey rattled as he ran.

Dunk, layup, mid-range shot, three-pointer.
Qin Fei's comprehensiveness made him a scoring machine on the basketball court. In the second half of the third quarter, he scored consecutively and made the entire Staples Arena fall into dead silence.

By the end of the three quarters, the Lakers had fallen behind by double digits.

The big pit failed to fill in the entire fourth quarter, and in the end the Lakers lost the game 101 to 113 at home.

In the first game of the second round, facing the Warriors who ranked much lower than themselves, the Lakers unexpectedly lost the game.

Qin Fei scored 48 points in this first battle.

48 points is Qin Fei's second highest score in a single game in the playoffs of his career, and his terrifying scoring ability has once again been demonstrated.

And the 48-point screen of the first battle like a lone hero always has a feeling of deja vu.

Many people feel that the Lakers are careless.

The Warriors are not a weak team. The Warriors are a scoring champion. On the stage of the playoffs, if they are in a similar state, the one that loses must be the one that is not well prepared.

The term "lonely hero" is not accurate, because the Warriors had many other people stand up besides Qin Fei during the game.

本华莱士全场比赛下来贡献10分15个篮板和5次封盖，布雷洛克贡献15分9次助攻3次抢断。

Grant's performance in the starting lineup, relatively speaking, did not meet expectations. From the data point of view, he only scored 6 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 fouls.

But in fact, his main energy is on the defensive end, and it is extremely incorrect to measure his value on the court only by statistics.

秦飞33投18中，其中三分球8投3中，罚篮10罚9中，拿到了全场最高的48分，此外还有5个篮板6次助攻，2次抢断和2次封盖。

湖人这一边，奥尼尔拿到了湖人队最高的29分，同时贡献了17个篮板5次助攻，科比22投仅命中了7个球，得到了15分3个篮板和5次助攻。

Comparing the two teams, the Warriors led by Qin Fei scored more efficiently.

Of course, one of the reasons why the overall scoring efficiency of the Warriors is high is because of Qin Fei's high scoring efficiency.

At the end of the game, Staples Lakers fans were still in disbelief.

They actually lost again?
In this season's playoffs with the goal of a championship, the performance of the Lakers can be described as twists and turns.

It perfectly interprets the regular routine of being as fierce as a tiger in the regular season and 0-5 in the playoffs.

Of course, this can't be all blamed on the Lakers. Who would have thought that the Kings are so strong and the Warriors are so fierce?

It can also be said that after these two rounds of competition, everyone looked at these three teams with admiration.

The Lakers are still strong.

After the game, the commentators also said in their analysis that in today's game, Qin Fei had gone berserk and scored 48 points, and he only won by about 10 points against the Lakers.

What he could foresee was that it was impossible for Qin Fei to score 48 points every game.

The victory or defeat of a team is in the hands of one person.

Where the Lakers feel tricky is precisely where the Warriors are most likely to be beaten.

Of course, this is still a story, and there are too few commentators who are willing to make such comments. Most of the commentators still follow the trend. After the Warriors beat the Lakers in the first game, there are many people who look down on the Lakers.

Some even called out the magic prediction that the Warriors might sweep the Lakers 4-0.

Regardless of whether this prediction can come true, at least if this sensational topic is thrown out, it will bring traffic growth.

And some people, especially like the feeling of being watched.

.........

Qin Fei was very happy.

Regardless of the course of the game, they have already won the first game.

He clearly remembered that this season the Lakers will have the protection of the Destiny Card.

The scene of the game with 48 points is somewhat familiar.

But these are not important anymore, he packed up his things and prepared to leave.

There are still many Lakers fans in the stands.

"Look how good the audience is for the Lakers. They were so far behind before, and no one has left the field yet."

"Until now, there are still so many people waiting here."

Qin Fei smiled and talked to O'Neill.

Little O'Neill was taken aback by what Qin Fei said. What does this mean?
"It might be different in the playoffs. If it's the usual regular season, it should be over by now." O'Neal Jr. felt that his analysis made sense.

Qin Fei laughed.

He shook his head and said, "You are not accurate enough."

"This shows that the local traffic in Los Angeles is very good. Of course, it may also be because the price of the Lakers' tickets is too high, and everyone is reluctant to leave."

O'Neill Jr.: ...

O'Neal's performance in this game was very average. He played off the bench and scored 4 points and 2 rebounds.

The Lakers say that the Warriors are gangsters and beasts. The Lakers themselves are also very fierce. There are a bunch of veterans on the bench who are good at using their bodies. Although Jermaine O'Neal has a talent that can be seen with the naked eye, compared with these old fritters, he is still a little immature.

This has to do with individual playing style.

For example, Artest, who is also playing in the playoffs for the first time, has no such troubles.

On the court, he looked like he was angry with the sky and the air, and he almost didn't want to ask someone to fight.

So O'Neal feels that his own playing style may be too civilized now.

"The world is going down."

When he thought that a brainless muscular stick like Artest could run amok, he felt more and more that he was on the wrong path.

A group of substitutes for the Warriors is also a bright spot, starting from John Starks, to Billups, Artest, O'Neal, James Posey, all of them are defensive champions.

Even because of cold hands and feet, stiff shots, and not very smooth offense, but relying on defense, they can still give unexpected surprises.

In other words, maybe the Lakers never thought that, as a substitute Warriors player, his defensive skills are not as good as the starters.

When several players were about to leave, ESPN reporters came to interview.

The slender female reporter wore heavy makeup, looking down from the angle, there was a surge of turbulence.

At a glance, it is obvious that she is a very confident woman.

She aimed at Qin Fei and walked over.

"Hello, can I spare you 2 minutes for an interview?"

Her smile was full of confidence, and she inadvertently brushed her hair while raising her hand.

Qin Fei shouted in his stomach that he couldn't, and nodded kindly on his face.

"of course."

…………

同一轮比赛，开拓者94:75大胜爵士，步行者108:91战胜76人，尼克斯83:87不敌热火。

People thought there would be a more intense second-round match, but as a result, only the Knicks and the Heat scored within double digits.

All other games were big wins.

The Blazers even beat the Jazz by 19 points, almost reaching the point of bloody abuse.

People commented that in these 4 sets of matchups, two sets of matches are defensive and two sets of offensive matchups.

Knicks vs. Heat and Blazers vs. Jazz are solid defensive battles.

The Warriors and the Lakers, as well as the 76ers vs. the Pacers, these two groups of games do not mean that they have no defense, but that they are both offensive and defensive teams.

At some point, they're leaning more on offense than on defense.

In the first game between the 76ers and the Pacers, despite Iverson's mediocre performance and only scored 28 points, the Pacers had two players who scored 40 points at the same time, namely Gerald Ross and Reggie Miller.

Jonathan Bender, who received a lot of attention in the draft before, also made an appearance in the game, but only appeared in the garbage time of the last 3 minutes and contributed 2 points.

Jonathan Bender is a talent devastated by injuries.

Including the head coach of the Warriors, Carlisle, once praised Jonathan.

Jonathan Bender can dominate the basket, can compete with Larry Bird and Reggie Miller on three-pointers, has the size of a center and the flexibility of a guard.

If it weren't for chronic knee pain, Bender would be a proper Hall of Famer.

However, after a rookie season that was not very successful, people suddenly discovered that what is needed in this league is not just talent, but a platform for realizing talent and a body that can withstand development.

An iron man like Qin Fei is someone who can perfectly develop his body functions to the extreme.

And he is still constantly breaking through his upper limit, breaking through the limited talent he once considered countless times.

.........

Two days later.

Overnight at hotel in Los Angeles.

Qin Fei had just arrived at the breakfast room when he saw assistant coach Woodson walking from the self-service bar with a plate.

"Morning, Coach."

Qin Fei greeted with a smile.

"Morning!"

Woodson smiled, pointed to a table by the window and said, "Let's have breakfast together!"

"Ok!"

Qin Fei took out a newspaper, and then took a plate, ready to have some self-service breakfast.

"Gudong Gudong." He filled the glass with ice milk.

While waiting for the bread to be baked, I flipped through the newspaper.

In the Los Angeles Times, there was indeed a game between the Warriors and the Lakers two days ago.

Although the competition is over, the various commentators and reporters are far from stopping their writing.

They analyzed and demonstrated the results of the competition.

Including like sports reporters, also interviewed some other players, coaches, staff, basketball experts and so on.

The focus of everyone's discussion is still, who is stronger and who is weaker between the Warriors and the Lakers, and who can qualify for this round of the series?
He opened the newspaper and read it with gusto.

When sitting across from Woodson with a plate, Woodson glanced at the newspaper and said with a smile: "You are the player with the best mentality I have ever seen. Most players rarely pay attention to the outside world during the playoffs, so as not to affect themselves."

"I've always loved hearing what people have to say, but whatever you say, I'll just be myself. I'm who I am and they can't interfere with me."

Qin Fei closed the newspaper, read the information on the sports section, and read some news reports on people's livelihood while eating.

"Qin Fei, last night the NBA confirmed the best team for this year. Have you heard the news?" Woodson didn't know where the gossip came from, and he opened his mouth with a bombshell.

Of course Qin Fei didn't hear the news, he raised his head and showed a very interested smile.

"This should not have been announced yet, you know that?"

Qin Fei didn't expect Woodson to have such a wide range of connections. This assistant coach is not easy. Didn't he become a coach not long ago?

"It's true that it hasn't been announced yet, but it's coming soon. An official announcement will be made this morning. I just learned the news in advance through some channels."

Woodson smiled mysteriously, and didn't say where the channel was.

Qin Fei suggested: "You have this kind of knowledge, what kind of coach are you? It's best for you to be a reporter. Release the news as soon as possible, even earlier than the official. It will definitely become popular, and you may become a god!"

Qin Fei's tone was teasing, and he laughed out loud after he finished speaking.

Woodson was also amused, he knew that Qin Fei usually liked to watch some jokes, and he was a humorous player.

"You don't care who the best team is? You actually care about my career?"

Qin Fei spread his hands and said confidently: "I don't care about the others. Anyway, according to my strength, I must be in there, right?"

"What if I say I'm not here?"

Wooden asked back with a smile, and also made fun of Qin Fei.

"That means your channel is not good, you should be a coach honestly, hahahaha!"

Qin Fei smiled and stuffed a piece of bread, blocking his own laughter.

It was very early in the morning, and the breakfast hall was quite quiet. It was a bit inappropriate to smile like that.

"Well, I admit that you are gambling, but you are right."

"You're really a team-of-the-season pick and a first-team player."

Woodson announced the answer, although he himself felt that the answer never seemed to have any suspense.

"It's time to celebrate. I won the game and made it for a while. It's a pity that the selection of the most valuable player is too early. If this round of the series is over, the wind vane may completely change."

Qin Fei raised his milk glass and lightly touched Woodson's glass.

Woodson covered his face.

Qin Fei was still like that, and he stopped drafting after bragging.

…………

On the same day, the NBA officially announced the candidates for the best team and best defensive team of the season.

The Warriors have a total of two selected.

Qin Fei and Da Ben.

In addition to being selected to the first team of the best team in the 99-00 season, Qin Fei was also selected to the first team of the best defensive team.

Big Ben was selected to the second team of the season's best defensive team.

Kobe, Kidd, Pippen and O'Neal were selected to the second team at the same time as Big Ben.

The best defensive lineup, in addition to Qin Fei, there are Payton, Garnett, Duncan and Alonzo Mourning.

The race for the All-Defensive Team is intense.

O'Neal, who had a high voice before, was not selected for the defensive lineup.

This made the media in Los Angeles somewhat annoyed.

What makes O'Neal even more upset is that among the first-team players in the NBA that season, he was the only one who was not selected to the first-team All-Defensive Team.

The other 4 people, Payton, Qin Fei, Garnett and Duncan are all first-team players.

This is also the first time in history that so many first-team players have appeared in a single season.

This year, Qin Fei was 22 years old.

In an era where the common age to enter the NBA is 22 years old, there is no doubt that he broke the historical record.

This glory originally belonged to Seattle, but now it belongs exclusively to the Bay Area.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Warriors carried out a publicity report on their official website, congratulating Qin Fei for winning the double first team title, and the team's Da Ben for winning the second team honor of the best defensive team.

Although it is and, but Big Ben is not unhappy.

In his speech, he said that no one had a lower starting point than him, and that he was able to get to where he is today, all thanks to his own hard work and hard work. Of course, he should also thank the Warriors for giving him the opportunity and platform.

Qin Fei's speech was simpler and more direct. He said to the team members:

"I decided to use a victory to celebrate my double first-team honor. You won't even fail to meet such a small request like mine?"
