Chapter 388 Thoughts
Really macho, not afraid of double-teaming.

At the last moment of the battle, everyone's physical fitness was challenged.

When O'Neal made a free throw, Qin Fei and Kobe supported their knees and stood on the side.

The two were chewing gum, and their gazes were full of murderous intent.

Just like the ferocious beasts drinking water by the river in the animal world, they may rush out to hunt down their prey at any time.

The atmosphere at the scene was already tense.

But at this stage, the players are more engaged, and there are fewer and fewer situations where they can be disturbed by the scene.

"clang!"

O'Neal's free throw bounced high, and then fell straight into the basket, piercing the net.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of entering the net made the audience cheer.

The Lakers' lead extended to 6 points, and O'Neal made two free throws at the critical moment.

O'Neal's free throws are a bit weird, sometimes very iron, but at critical moments, they are always tenable.

Warriors attack.

On the court, the Warriors made some lineup adjustments.

Kafei, who started the game, was not put on the field by the coach at the last moment.

The replacement was John Starks, the Warriors' sixth man.

However, Starks is also a defender, so Qin Fei's position on the court is a small forward.

Small forwards can also better play Qin Fei's role in connecting inside and outside on the defensive end.

In addition, insider candidates have also changed.

Because Grant left the field with six fouls, the veteran Cummings was on the field at the critical moment.

Blaylock dribbles upfield.

The Warriors naturally chose to give Qin Fei a tactical cover. After Qin Fei bounced outside, he received a pass from Blaylock.

The moment he caught the ball, he began to dribble and break through.

Because in the next second, the Lakers double-teamed.

came.

"Snapped!"

Qin Fei dribbled the ball with his right hand, caught the basketball bouncing off the floor, and rushed inside with big strides.

The quality of the Warriors' cover this time was very high. When Qin Fei rushed inside, he had already thrown away all the outside players.

He broke through near the baseline, planted his feet on the floor, and jumped up.

O'Neal then made up the defense.

It was another direct dialogue between the two. This time O'Neill's defense was even more fierce. Outside the penalty area, the Giant Spirit Palm covered Qin Fei's entire body.

Qin Fei shook his arm in the air, and O'Neill patted his arm.

"Snapped!"

After the confrontation between the two, Qin Fei gave a low shout.

However, O'Neill still had a coherent movement, even if it was a foul, he still pulled Qin Fei down.

"beep……"

The foul was so obvious that the referee's whistle sounded.

O'Neal raised his arm, which was his fourth foul.

Qin Fei walked to the free throw line.

The audience booed him enthusiastically.

After only playing two games, Qin Fei has already become a star hated by fans in the Los Angeles area.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Qin Fei was expressionless. After walking to the free throw line, he dribbled twice and threw the ball.

Easy free throw.

Qin Fei's statistics for this game were shown in the televised footage.

He has already scored 31 points, and after this free throw, it is 32 points.

23 of 11 shots, the shooting rate is slightly lower than 50%, and the overall scoring efficiency is not bad.

But compared with the first game, the number of shots and shooting percentage still dropped a bit.

The commentators felt that this was Qin Fei's normal level. In the first game, the Lakers allowed Qin Fei to directly score 1 points, which was abnormal.

He also hit his second free throw.

The Warriors are still 107 points behind the Lakers at 111:4.

Causing damage is also something the coach would like to see. For a scorer like Qin Fei, who makes more than 80% of his free throws, getting to the free throw line is almost equal to scoring points.

Many times, the simplest scoring in the NBA is free throws.

There's nothing harder than scoring free throws.

Of course, making free throws is also a science.

There are some players who gain a place in the NBA by making free throws and defrauding fouls.

There are some players who are kept in the team and don't do other things. They just execute free throws at critical moments and when the opponent fouls.

The Lakers hold a 4-point lead and are not in a hurry.

Kobe dribbled the ball outside, facing Qin Fei's close defense, he did not break through rashly.

Kobe called O'Neal inside, come out a little.

When it was time to pass the ball, Qin Fei shrank his defense.

Repost, redirect, retransmit.

O'Neal's wave of offense only got the ball towards the end.

Like Qin Fei, he also chose to speed up his offensive rhythm.

The moment he got the ball, O'Neal made a shark turn with his back against the defensive player.

"Pong!"

Cummings took a small step back when he was hit by O'Neal.

O'Neal turned around, raised the basketball and faked a hook shot.

This fake action directly deceived Da Ben who came to make up for the defense.

At this time, he took another big step and jumped into the circle in an instant.

Continue to play basketball!

When he realized that he could no longer shake anyone, he jumped up violently.

Grab the basket with one hand, and make a dunk with one arm.

"boom!"

The moment he grabbed the basket, he also tugged at the basket.

People can see the basketball stand, which has a clear angle of inclination, as if it is about to fall down at any time.

This fearsome shark actually has a perfect set of steps.

Both Cummings and Big Ben were a little annoyed.

Although Daben is very good at assisting defense, once he is shaken, he will be relatively passive on the defensive end.

The goal dunked at the critical moment greatly boosted the momentum of the Lakers.

Throughout the Staples Center, fans stood up.

The fans waited for the whole game, just waiting for the performance of the Lakers at this moment.

Up front, the Warriors attack.

Qin Fei fell to the low position to catch the ball.

The Lakers players were ready to move, almost preparing to double-team Qin Fei before he could catch the ball.

Of course, this is an illegal defense and is absolutely not allowed.

All he can do is to get as close to Qin Fei as possible without moving away from his defender.

As soon as Qin Fei took the ball, people immediately surrounded him.

The speed of the double-team was too fast this time, and he hadn't had time to attack early.

So immediately pass the ball again.

In and out.

Someone outside threw the ball in again, and Qin Fei went a little outside to catch the ball.

A feint, feigning to the left.

In fact, stepping out with the left foot to the right is still a breakthrough at the bottom line.

The Lakers' inside and outside lines swarmed up to block the offensive space.

In the middle of the attack, Qin Fei shifted the ball to the other side by 45 degrees in a wide range.

This is an excellent diversion.

Demonstrate a good overall view.

The outside receiver was John Starks.

The veteran decisively chose a three-pointer at this moment.

John Starks is also 35 years old this year. He is a veteran of the league. His characteristics are that he is good at breaking through, winning in chaos, good at scoring, and has a certain defensive ability.

Shooting is not John Starks' specialty, but his three-pointers are not bad. At the peak, his three-pointers made nearly 37%.

In the Warriors this season, John Starks made 35% of his three-pointers. Compared with last season, he made less than [-]% of his three-pointers.

Of course, it may also be because John Starks played fewer games this season, and due to injury factors, he took a long break in the mid-term.

Starks made this three-pointer decisively, and when he raised his hand, he felt very good.

All the Lakers fans in the audience were praying not to enter.

Starks looked more confident, and he felt that he could score this goal.

"clang!"

However, he didn't expect that the open three-point jumper that was sure to hit was missed.

In the disappointed eyes, the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Everyone is under the basket, huddled together.

"Backboard!"

Even O'Neill yelled.

O'Neal's rebounding ability is unquestionable, but this rebound bounced in another direction.

The other direction is that Robert Horry is competing with him for the Warriors' big book.

His desperate position is almost always on Da Ben.

However, Daben's strange strength was too terrifying, relying on his upper body strength, he squeezed away Huo Li.

When the offensive rebound is about to come in hand, kill a fierce player.

Glenn Rice and Big Ben scrambled together.

In the panic, I didn't know who it was, and knocked the ball out of the baseline.

Neither the head referee nor the baseline referee saw clearly.

……

through a series of technical means.

The referee determined that the ball belonged to the Lakers.

The ball was awarded to the Lakers.

This made the Staples Center fans cheer again.

Qin Fei stood there with his arms crossed.

The head coach of the Warriors, Carlisle, walked to the side of the court to discuss with the referee.

At this time, there is only a minute or so left.

Although the Warriors did not fall behind by many points, they were completely overwhelmed by the Lakers in terms of momentum.

In the betting between the two teams, the Lakers won.

In the last 37 seconds, Qin Fei's breakthrough caused Kobe's fifth foul.

When the foul count was full, Qin Fei walked to the free throw line, made two free throws again, and scored his 35th point.

After the free throw, the Warriors requested a timeout, and Qin Fei did not play again.

The Warriors failed to comeback in the end and lost the second game of the away game.

After the game, the Lakers scored 117 points, while the Warriors scored 111 points.

The difference between the two teams is not too big.

O'Neal scored a game-high 39 points, grabbed 18 rebounds and blocked five shots.

Bryant's state recovered, scoring 22 points and 7 assists.

Qin Fei scored the Warriors' highest 35 points, in addition to 12 assists.

But he also had six turnovers.

Qin Fei is not an assist player, forcing Qin Fei to pass the ball, the Lakers have already achieved a tactical victory.

Qin Fei has always made relatively few mistakes, and the 6 mistakes made tonight are considered rare.

He wasn't too happy with his performance.

To make matters worse, it was agreed to celebrate the double first team honor with a victory, but it turned out to be a failure.

The overall atmosphere of the Warriors is not bad, and the mentality of the players is good enough.

After all, it was unexpected to win an away game from the Lakers.

O'Neal was interviewed after the game.

"I have seen the dawn of victory, and no one in the Warriors can guard me."

O'Neal made 23 free throws throughout the game.

Although he only hit 12 of them, the damage was already astonishing enough.

The entire Warriors team has a lot of inside fouls.

Grant left the field with six fouls, Big Ben had four fouls, Cummings had five fouls, and O'Neal had three fouls.

…………

Although O'Neal's words make people angry, they are also indisputable facts. How to better limit O'Neal's performance has become a top priority for the Warriors.

Before leaving Los Angeles, the Warriors' coaching staff held an emergency team meeting.

The meeting was attended by all the players in addition to the coaching staff.

In the conference room of the hotel, everyone gathered together.

The host of the meeting is the team's head coach Carlisle.

The assistant helped him set up the white tactical board, which contained some data and tactical maps written by him.

Participants were handed a report.

This is a brief tactical analysis report after two games.

"Obviously, there are some difficulties with the team at the moment."

"Of course, this is not our exclusive predicament. It is a difficult place for the entire league."

"In the past game, we have several places to pay attention to."

"One was about rebounding protection in the backcourt."

The main purpose of Carlisle's player meeting is to solve some of the current difficulties, and some regular tactical counseling will be carried out before the start.

After the tutoring, there will be a symposium where everyone can speak freely.

"Shaquille O'Neal, when he catches the ball in the low post on both sides, his offensive efficiency is higher."

Billups, who likes to observe the game, gave an observation point of his own.

"If you only refer to the offensive efficiency of catching the ball, it is actually not as good as Qin Fei. From the perspective of these two games." Assistant coach Woodson continued what Billups said.

Qin Fei was a little flustered by Woodson's bragging. Fortunately, he only pointed to these two games.

"He got three 2+1 opportunities in this game. I think we were too gentle after the foul." Daben pointed out some loopholes in the defensive end of the players.

"Their offensive rhythm is like that. They like to fall to the low position to attack, and they like to grind their positions. But I really don't understand the triangle offense. I always feel that if there are three points, as long as they don't stand in a straight line, isn't it a triangle?"

Daben told the truth, everyone laughed after hearing it.

"Didn't we also play the triangle offense? Could it be that you didn't even understand the coach's tactical intention?"

Blaylock said with a smile.

"Of course not."

Da Ben rolled his eyes: "Anyway, I knew it. I grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Qin Fei. It's as simple as that."

"Isn't that Rodman's wise saying?"

Many people know about this interview, and they glanced at the five big and three thick books, secretly surprised.

It's fine for Coach Woodson to flatter Qin Fei, but he didn't expect that the rough-faced big book can boast. If he compares himself to Rodman, then Qin Fei is Jordan?
Artest thought to himself, is he considered Pippen?
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, be serious!"

Carlisle scolded with a straight face.

Everyone sat upright, and no one dared to interrupt afterward.

Qin Fei coughed dryly.

Immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"I feel like we're stuck in a vicious circle."

"Or, I don't think we're playing the offensive rhythm we like."

"Have you ever thought about what kind of team we are?"

Qin Fei's question made everyone fall into deep thought.

"I thought about it."

"I think we are a team that leads the development of the times and promotes the reform of the basketball world."

"The future development direction and philosophy of basketball should be what our team looks like."

"We can run and jump, we can open up space, we can break through for layups, we can shoot three-pointers, and we can switch positions. We don't have absolute dead ends. As big as the court is, our offensive range is as big as it is."

"To beat the Lakers, we have to be faster, more determined and more accurate."

Qin Fei knocked on the table.

What he wanted to express was very clear.

Several assistant coaches looked at each other after hearing this, with a slight hesitation in their eyes.

Is it really appropriate to break your own routine rhythm on the stage of the playoffs?

Although the Warriors lost to the Lakers, it was only at the last moment. It seems that they are not without the power to fight.

Everyone focused their attention on coach Carlisle, wanting to know what he was thinking now.

Carlisle: ...
