Chapter 399 Is This Also a Talent?
Since O'Neal entered the league, he has always been in a bamboo pole figure.

But he studied hard and practiced hard, especially focusing on strength and confrontation training. In the fourth season of his career, he has already developed a whole body of tendons.

Of course, it is not enough to fight against O'Neill.

Walking into Carlisle's eyes, one is because of young talent, and the other is because of the early love between the two.

O'Neal's status in the Warriors has been rising. When Cummings truce due to injury in the middle of the season, O'Neal once became the team's first inside substitute. It was not until the playoffs that the head coach ranked Cummings ahead of O'Neal again.

Looking back now, no.

To play the Lakers, experience alone is not enough, and talent must be relied on at critical moments.

Qin Fei is a talent, and O'Neal is a talent. Although O'Neill has a "small" character, he is also a talent.

Of course, Carlisle would not easily tell O'Neal Jr.: Handsome guy, you have successfully entered the scope of the coaching staff's inspection.

After the start of the official game, specific analysis will only be carried out when encountering specific situations.

To put it bluntly, the inside lineup of "Jermaine O'Neal + Big Ben" is feasible after the coaches have judged it. In a certain period of time during the game, they may continue to test their quality.

G6 battle.

The Lakers are in a life-and-death battle, and if they lose, they have to go home and fish.

This is the most unbearable situation for the Lakers. The Lakers have the first record in the regular season, and they are also a powerful and noble person in the league. With a newly promoted MVP like "Sharks", how can they lose to an inexplicable team like the Warriors?

In the eyes of the Lakers, isn't the Warriors such an inexplicable team?
Although there are many people, they are all a group of homeless, low draft or traded talentless players
Compared with the noble Zijin Legion, the Warriors are more like a group of bandits.

However, it was such a bandit army that pushed the Lakers to the edge of a cliff.

In the G6 game, the fans in Los Angeles showed strong financial resources. Many Lakers fans rushed from Los Angeles to Oakland to buy tickets for the playoffs, and made a special trip to build momentum for the Lakers in the away game.

Before the start of the sixth game, the outside world had already begun to look down on the Lakers.

There is no way, whoever loses the battle of Tianwang Mountain will be looked down upon.

Many people were verbally criticized, from the general manager to the scouts, none of them were let go.

O'Neal, who failed to lead the team to triumph, and Kobe, who threw an air ball at a critical moment, were the most violently attacked players.

Therefore, the entire Lakers team can feel the low pressure coming from the G6 game.

The low pressure continued into the evening, and everyone felt uncomfortable.

It wasn't until they entered the Oakland Stadium that the low pressure was dissipated by the noise, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the case of low air pressure, there are two things to play, either to collapse quickly, or to explode in desperation and hit the opponent to collapse quickly.

On the Warriors side, a normal starting lineup was arranged.

Qin Fei, who can score around 40 points per game, is still the absolute core of the Warriors' tactics. Until the game, the coach has been emphasizing the development of tactics around Qin Fei.

The players are used to it, especially the starting players, who have worked with Qin Fei for so long and have a great understanding.

Of course, some ambitious players on the bench may not be satisfied with their current team roles, but their status is not high and they don't have enough voice, so they have no objection to Qin Fei's unlimited firepower.

"The Lakers are coming tonight, guys, hold on!"

Before playing, Blaylock, who is the big brother, spoke loudly to boost the morale of the players.

Qin Fei nodded with a cold face, maintaining the majesty that a "commander" should have.

Sure enough, as soon as the game started, the Lakers broke out.

First, O'Neal's inside attack caused Grant to foul, and the foul didn't stop him, and it was two plus one.

Then Kobe attacked the Warriors' basket with the help of a cover, challenged Ben's defense and succeeded, helping the Lakers lead the Warriors 5-0.

Carlisle frowned and didn't call a timeout.

Soon, Robert Horry hit a 3-pointer and the Lakers led 8-0.

It was only 2 minutes into the game, the Warriors failed to score 1 point, and the Lakers exploded.

The game entered a timeout.

In the East, after trailing the Pacers 76-0, the 3ers pulled two games in a row and almost staged a counterattack in the series.

But in Game [-], the Pacers withstood the pressure.

The Pacers beat the 106ers 90-76 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

This is the third consecutive year that the Pacers have made the Eastern Conference finals, and it is also the second consecutive year that the 76ers have been eliminated by the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Iverson couldn't hide his disappointment.

It wasn't until the end of the series that he truly revealed his heart.

"We have worked hard for a season, but some things are facts. When we lose a game, what we have to do is not only lament the loss, but more importantly, check for omissions, make up for shortcomings, and make unremitting efforts to achieve better results in the coming year."

He said to the media, the camera fixed on the Chinese tattoo on his neck.

Iverson's personality is distinct and strong, just like the tenacity shown in this round of the series, he never said that he would be defeated.

This is also the reason why countless fans have been inspired and countless fans have been harvested.

After hearing Iverson's speech, the top executives of the 76ers panicked.

Although Iverson has just renewed his big contract, they don't have to worry about him running away, but it is not a thing to always waste this player's combat power, and return without success in the playoffs.

The shortcomings of the 76ers are too obvious. One is that the team lacks low-post offensive ability, the other is that the outside line lacks iron gates that can be defended, and the third is that there is no scoring point other than Iverson.

In this round of the series, Reggie Miller and Jaylen Rose of the Pacers averaged 47.8 points per game, and both of them are extremely efficient shooters, with more than [-]% of their three-pointers.

The 76ers want to strengthen. The first two are easy to handle, but the last one is more difficult.

Although there are many excellent scorers in this market, the market for scorers is usually relatively high. Especially in the past two years, the league has undergone drastic reforms. It is a very obvious trend that the scoring ability of wings is getting stronger and stronger. Generally, teams will pinch a few wings that can score. It is not easy to do without some blood.

In another game in the Eastern Conference, the Heat and the Knicks have fought to a 3-3 tie.

The G7 life and death battle is about to start.

The two teams have nothing to say, they are completely red-eyed.

After other series, whoever loses may be sad for a few days.

After the series of these two teams, whoever loses may have to be sad for several months, even until the next season, thinking every day that they will meet next season and then take revenge.

Another round of the series in the West.

The Blazers eliminated the old Jazz 4-1 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

The progress of the Trail Blazers is too surprising, but people can understand that, after all, the Trail Blazers were already second in the Western Conference during the regular season.

Unexpectedly, the Jazz collapsed so completely.

Facing the Trail Blazers team, which is also composed of a group of old ball ruffians, the seasoned Jazz really doesn't have much resistance.

In the series, the Jazz lost at least 3 games to the Trail Blazers, all of which were games in which they lost nearly 20 points, allowing the entire Salt Lake City to have a silent score difference.

The Jazz's mentality collapsed.

Jazz fans are deeply aware that the Jazz seem to have passed the final peak, relying on the combination of veterans, they can no longer chase the dream of a championship.

This year is the last season of Jazz's five veterans.

After being eliminated in the playoffs, Jazz veteran Hornacek announced his retirement.

With Hornacek's retirement, the Jazz have to face the disintegration of the lineup. It seems that it has become an irreversible thing to introduce new blood and prepare in advance for the window period after the retirement of the veteran.

At the same time, the duo of Stockton and Malone, who have never tasted a championship in their lifetime.

I also began to consider some things other than the stadium. For example, I slightly changed the goal of "bringing a championship to Salt Lake City" to a slightly less difficult goal of "won a championship in my career".

The sixth game between the Warriors and the Lakers.

The two sides fought in the dark.

The Lakers had an advantage from the beginning, and this advantage is still magnifying.

By the second half of the first quarter, the Lakers had already led by double digits. At this time, Grant was troubled by fouls, and the two fouls took a rest. It was not Cummings who replaced Grant, but the teenager O'Neal.

Jermaine O'Neal's power forward position has enriched the Warriors' offensive system after his debut.

The Warriors' offense is on the mend.

In addition, O'Neal did not blow up the young center combination of Big Ben + O'Neal Jr. as fans or coaches imagined.

Sure enough, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Big Ben + Jr. O'Neal, this talent tree is lit up.

O'Neal was very surprised. He didn't expect that the last overtime game would actually help Carlisle open the door to a new world. The Warriors' lineup became even weirder. The center forward was a little shorter than the power forward, but now it's not a little shorter, but a lot shorter.
When the Warriors rotated the lineup, they played an excellent offense and defense.

Soon, the advantage of the Lakers disappeared. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers only led the Warriors by 26 points 21 to 5.

The Warriors' offense in the second half of the game was okay, but their scoring in the first half was very low.

In the second quarter, the two teams even made fouls from time to time.

The referee whistles are very dense today. If there are too many whistles, the rhythm of the game will be easily interrupted. If it weren't for the playoffs, the excitement of the game might have dropped a little.

Kobe and Qin Fei are on the same page.

When Qin Fei stayed on the court, Kobe also stayed on the court, but today was very special, Harper and Kobe greeted Qin Fei together.

Harper is also a standard shooting guard at 1 meters. Except for being lighter and older, he doesn't have too many loopholes on the defensive end.

Harper defended Qin Fei well in the first quarter. Qin Fei scored 5 points in the first quarter, the lowest among so many games.

This made Kobe feel depressed, even a little annoyed.

"What kind of business is this?"

When Qin Fei was defending, he should not play too aggressively, but now that he has changed players, he has no desire to attack, and his scoring has been discounted several times.

In fact, he misunderstood Qin Fei.

Qin Fei also took 6 shots in the first quarter, but only hit 2 goals. On the one hand, Harper did defend well, and on the other hand, it was also because the Lakers never forgot to double-team Qin Fei.

It is said to be a single defense, but it is actually a double team.

Qin Fei was in this double-team and did some work to connect the teams. Originally, he thought that the first half of the game would not be good, and the second half would be a strong attack. Unexpectedly, after O'Neal came on the court, he performed well, scoring 5 points in a row from inside and outside shots, so Qin Fei changed his mind and saved some energy.

The two teams committed a lot of fouls. In the second quarter, they both relied on free throws to increase their points.

In addition to offense, Qin Fei is also responsible for marking Kobe personally on the defensive end.

Kobe's efficiency today is not bad. In addition to the accuracy of various emergency stop jumpers, the finishing of several breakthroughs to the basket is also very lethal, either scoring directly or causing fouls by Warriors players.

The Lakers led the Warriors by 51 points 42 to 9 at halftime.

The crazy Lakers players are super powerful, and Qin Fei is a little anxious.

It is of course the best result to be able to solve the game in G6. Once the game is dragged to G7, the Warriors will go to Los Angeles again to play a difficult away game.

As soon as the second half of the game started, Qin Fei stepped up his own attack.

However, Harper's full-court marking has been disrupting Qin Fei's offensive rhythm. Today, Qin Fei's touch is average, and the effect of strong shots is not very good, and the team's offense has fallen into a quagmire.

At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers led the Warriors by 78 points 65 to 13.

The Lakers had a lead in almost every quarter, and they came together to establish a considerable advantage in the fourth quarter.

"Qin Fei played mediocre today, and only scored 19 points now, which is not his usual level at all."

The host began to feel that Qin Fei had too much influence on the Warriors. The Warriors basically lost in the games where Qin Fei did not play well.

"The Lakers are as powerful as a rainbow, so this is the similarity between the Warriors and the 76ers. The Warriors also lack a second point that can absolutely score. No one can help Qin Fei share the offensive pressure. Or the Warriors simply give up using Qin Fei to defend Kobe just like the Lakers, and let Qin Fei focus on offense."

Some sports commentators give some opinions of their own.

Qin Fei played the entire second half, leaning on his knees, looking up at the field.

He has the talent of [perpetual motion machine]. It seems that he spends energy on both ends of the offense and defense, but the energy consumption is smaller than others imagined, so in the fourth quarter, he actually still has plenty of energy.

But the problem is that he feels average today.

The attributes of shooting can ensure that his shooting percentage is above a certain level, but the touch is the key to determining whether he can make a shot.

When he has no hand feeling, he will also iron.

Among the great scorers in NBA history, there is not a single iron. It's just that some people turned three irons backwards, and some only turned one irons backwards.

In the first few games, Qin Fei had two backs and one iron, but today he couldn't do it anymore, the basket was about to be smashed crookedly.

In the regular season, he can still adjust and hit the basket.

But the Lakers have a super strong frame protection, and the perimeter defense is not weak. His efficiency in breaking through and attacking the basket is not high, and he even made some mistakes when he was flanked.

The Warriors collapsed, and finally lost the G87 game 105 to 6.

Qin Fei scored only 23 points, the lowest score in the entire series and even the entire playoffs this year.

Someone with a heart did the math, Qin Fei broke out in G1, average in G2, broke out in G3, iron in G4, broke out in G5, iron in G6, then G7
It seems that as long as there are odd-numbered games against the Lakers, Qin Fei can always break out.

Is this also a kind of talent?
After Qin Fei heard this argument, he also generously admitted it.

"That's right, only the singularity can stimulate my explosion."

Crowd: ? ? ?
Do odd numbers and singular points mean the same thing?

Qin Fei was silent for a while.

"Sorry, I'm talking about the singularity of biology."

"Or literature, it doesn't matter."
