Chapter 403 There is always a way to prevent him (I wish everyone a happy 2021!)

Portland is a place worth taking a vacation, if the personal budget allows it.

Portland is also considered a more livable city than the more prestigious Seattle.

It is located in the Great Northwest corner, bordering Canada.

Portland is like a miniature and affordable small three, and the whole city reveals a peaceful atmosphere that is indifferent to the world.

In terms of the taste of art, here may be more than Seattle.

The unique and different painting style is reflected in every corner of the city. As long as you are in a different block, you can feel a completely different life painting style.

The small coffee restaurants that can be seen everywhere on the street show a kind of dreamy delicacy.

The Blazers are the only team in the league that has won a championship. Although there is only one championship, as long as they have won a championship once, it is a world of difference from "zero times".

That time was the 1976-1977 season, when coach Jack Ramsey coached the Trail Blazers for the first time. This year was also the year when four former ABA teams (Spurs, Nuggets, Pacers and Nets) merged into the NBA.

To put it bluntly, the key word of this year is "first time".

Since then, the Trail Blazers, who made it to the playoffs for the first time, made it to the second round, the Western Conference finals, and the finals for the first time, and won the NBA championship for the first time.

That year, in addition to "the first time", the logo of the Trail Blazers was also "teamwork".

This year, it has been 23 years.

The Trail Blazers had their ups and downs, and the peak since then was of course 1992 when Drexler led the Trail Blazers to the finals, where they fought the Chicago Bulls in seven games.

Until now, the Trail Blazers have risen again.

But you can still see the shadow of the team left by Drexler when he led the team.

This year's Western Conference Finals, the Trail Blazers VS Warriors.

The middle part of the Trail Blazers team emblem looks like two colors of lines close together, with the words "PORTLAND" on the top and the team name "TRAll BLAZERS" on the bottom. It adopts a diamond-shaped frame with a full sense of hierarchy. It is a 1vs1 duel between five players from both sides. It reflects the courage, determination and pioneering spirit of the Trail Blazers team name.

To be honest, Qin Fei really likes the team name Blazers.

It has the same effect as the Warriors.

Before the game, in the Blazers locker room.

Head coach Mike Dunleavy took out the tactical board and made the final tactical arrangement.

Of course, the focus is on Qin Fei's defensive work.

Steve Smith and Scottie Pippen will be the two main players defending Qin Fei.

The latter is familiar to everyone, while the former is a little strange.

史蒂夫史密斯此人是91年首轮第5顺位的球员，巅峰期场均也是20多分的猛男，97-98赛季入选了全明星赛。

The most embarrassing thing is that he was selected to the Dream Team twice (Dream [-] and Dream [-]), and his university is Michigan State University.

Many people contacted so much information. In the early 90s, high-ranking students who graduated from Michigan State University immediately thought of the Michigan Five Tigers.

But in fact, the Michigan Five Tigers are talking about the University of Michigan's Five Tigers, which is quite different from Michigan State University. Steve Smith is not the Michigan Five Tigers.

The real Michigan Five still active in the league are Webber, Juwan Howard and Jaylen Rose of the Pacers.

Listening to the coach's tactics, Scottie Pippen suddenly sneered.

The voice was so small that the coach didn't pay attention, but Steve Smith and Schramf next to him turned their heads.

"What's your opinion, Second Master Pi?"

Although the two didn't speak, that's what they meant.

Pippen snorted coldly, showing a disdainful smile.

"Qin Fei can actually be prevented, but many people have not mastered the trick."

"Oh?"

"Oh!"

The people on the side pricked up their ears, wishing to hear more about it.

"It's very simple, the key is to press all the way."

When it comes to defense, Pippen talked eloquently: "Many people know that defending Jordan should press the whole court, and use the whole confrontation to achieve the goal of constant physical exertion. Destroying the rhythm is more important than simply defending the next ball. In the process of imposing physical confrontation on Qin Fei, we often lack enough psychological deterrence and rhythm destruction, which leads to him playing smoothly every time."

Pippen's argument is relatively clear. To put it bluntly, he is telling everyone a truth. Even Jordan, under the pressure of endless, one-to-one defense, will affect his personal offense. It is impossible for Qin Fei to not be affected at all.

And the most important thing is that the Blazers wait for work with ease and have an inherent advantage.

"How tight is it?"

Steve Smith was a little nervous, feeling like he was about to hear the ultimate defensive secret from the best defensive player in the league.

"As tight as you want, you can't let go anyway. Once you let go, the opponent may immediately start to move. If you want to press down again, the difficulty will be more than one step higher."

Pippen saw that Steve Smith was obviously more interested than Schramf, so he had a few more words with him.

But after Schramf heard it, he didn't take it seriously.

Qin Fei was the player who led the Supersonics to defeat the Bulls led by Jordan. Pippen didn't defend Qin Fei much at that time, did he?Where did so much personal experience come from?

Besides, is Qin Fei so easy to guard against?
If the audience were pressing, they would be able to prevent Qin Fei. Why would the OK team be crying all day long?
Anyway, Schramff felt that Master Pi was blowing too much, so he wouldn't be embarrassed if he was blown up by someone.

He thought so, anyway, Qin Fei was also defended by him, so he didn't care what the two of them did.

Time passes quickly.

Amidst the boos of the audience, DJ introduced the players of the visiting team.

When Qin Fei appeared on the stage, the boos of the audience reached its peak. Looking around, the audience was full of enemies.

The sporadic fans of Qin Fei are not good at all.

The starting rosters of both sides were released, and they were lined up on the TV camera.

The starting players of the visiting Warriors: Blaylock, Qin Fei, Caffey, Grant, Big Ben.

Trail Blazers starters: "Little Flying Squirrel" Stoudemire, Steve Smith, Pippen, Rasheed Wallace, Sabonis.

Big Ben found out that his opponent was getting better round after round.

This Sabonis is taller than O'Neill, with a height of 2 meters. From the perspective of body shape, it looks like a Soviet bunker that can move.

Good guy, the effect is even more prominent when the two stand together in the middle circle.

Big Ben is not in vain, since he entered the NBA, he has been fighting against insiders who are taller than him.

Now it's just another five centimeters higher, not a big problem.

The two stood on the center circle jump ball.

"Beep-"

The buzzer sounds and the basketball is thrown straight into the air.

Big Ben's bounce speed and jumping ability are amazing, and he jumped into the sky in the blink of an eye, not far from the basketball that was just about to fall.

"Snapped!"

He flicked back and touched the basketball first.

The Warriors hold the ball for the first time in the Western Conference Finals!
The whole audience clamored.

The gap between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers is smaller than the gap between the Warriors and the Lakers, at least in terms of regular season records.

The Trail Blazers are facing a big enemy.

Smith walked in close to Qin Fei. Even before Qin Fei got the ball, he began to look for confrontation, with a firm appearance that he would not retreat a step.

"what's the situation?"

Qin Fei muttered to himself, is he so tight when he doesn't hold the ball?

This looks like he is going to make it impossible for him to pass halftime, is he thinking too much?

Blaylock, who was holding the ball, frowned when he saw that Qin Fei hadn't passed the halftime.

At this time, Big Ben came out to cover for Grant, and after Grant finished the screen, he went to the line, which happened to be a pick-and-roll for Blaylock who moved over.

Screening and pick-and-roll can be seen as two different concepts.

The purpose of the screen is to help teammates get rid of the defensive player, and there is also a process of "dismantling" in the pick-and-roll action.

Grant went down, and Blaylock was forced by Stoudemire's dribble.

He stops the ball and passes it to the wing.

"Snapped!"

Qin Fei on the three-point line received the ball.

With this catch, the nerves of all the Trail Blazers players were tense.

Smith stayed on every step, paying attention.

But he didn't dare to get too close, for fear that Qin Fei would step past him.

Qin Fei grabbed the ball with one hand, raised his straight arm, and kept away from the defender.

Far away in Los Angeles, the afro-haired man in front of the TV looked at this scene with resentment on his face.

Big hands can really do whatever they want.

"Have you heard of breaking the press with one hand?"

Qin Fei kept his body upright, showing no sign of making a breakthrough.

But Smith didn't believe it at all. Qin Fei's breakthrough was fast and domineering, and he was notoriously fierce. If he was careless, he might be passed in the next second.

Qin Fei took the ball back and landed a dribble behind his back.

Switch to the left hand and look directly at the defender.

He took the bounced basketball with his left hand and paused slightly.

"breakthrough?"

"Singles again?"

"Watch out for his shots!"

Thousands of people have thousands of thoughts. Seeing Qin Fei's attack in this scene, everyone was sweating for Smith.

The next moment, Qin Fei on the three-point line directly pulled up from the spot.

He jumped straight into the air, put his hands together and raised the basketball over his head to shoot.

Smith was taken aback, rushed forward quickly, and stretched out his hand to interfere with Qin Fei's shooting.

But Qin Fei's shot was so high that he couldn't cover him at all.

"The rhythm of this shot can be said to be quite bad."

On the Trail Blazers bench, Schramf shook his head. He is the kind of player who likes to shoot in a specific rhythm. Qin Fei never attacked like this when he was in the Supersonics.

He knew that this was Qin Fei's growth.

At supersonic speed, it was impossible for Qin Fei to attack like this anyway.

The coach will not arrange this, and Payton, Kemp and others will not allow him to do so.

"Shh!"

A thought flashed through his mind just now, and Qin Fei's low-level ball hit the net!

The entire audience was stunned.

After two rounds of training, the Blazers reached the Western Conference Finals.

However, the Warriors are completely different from the opponents they encountered in the first round and the second round. The Warriors are a team that follows and advocates individual offense, and the proportion of individual offense occupies an important position in the team's tactical system.
