Chapter 414 Nobody Believes We Came Here
Conseco Arena, the scene of the finals.

The Warriors didn't get off to a great start.

Amidst the boos of the fans all over the sky, most of the players participating in the finals for the first time felt somewhat nervous.

The good news is that everyone has no finals experience.

Among the Pacers, the only one who has played in the finals is the Pacers' inside substitute Zahn Batak. This lucky guy who started his NBA journey in 94 followed the Rockets to win the championship in the first year of his career. At that time, he was the substitute of the Rockets' center position.

Since everyone is a rookie, it doesn't matter whether they have experience or not.

However, judging from the overall composition of the team, the players of the Pacers are mainly Mesozoic players. Although the Warriors also have veterans, the overall age is relatively young, which can be said to be a standard young guard.

The advantage of Lengtouqing is that he dares to fight, and the disadvantage is also that he dares to fight.

Fortunately, the Warriors' stunned youths are all off the court, and the starting lineup on the court is relatively mature, but it may be the first time they are playing in the Finals.

"duo~"

At the sound of the whistle, Jaylen Rose walked to the free throw line.

Qin Fei stood on the sidelines with his hips akimbo, and when he heard someone calling his name from behind, he turned his head and found that the head coach Carlisle was waving at him.

"Qin Fei, you have to attack yourself."

Carlisle pointed to the players on the field and constructed an ideal scoring path for Qin Fei: "Although the Pacers have a combination of offense and defense, their outside defense is average. Whether it is Reggie Miller or Jaylen Rose, it is impossible to be unable to defend. This round of the game will be your chance."

Carlisle's meaning is obvious. His teammates are not playing well. At this time, he needs to stand up and score. Even if he is a little alone, it's okay. After all, everyone's shooting rate in the finals will not be very high. With Qin Fei's scoring efficiency, even if it is a strong attack, I am afraid that it is more efficient than others.

"I know, Coach."

Qin Fei responded in a muffled voice, thinking about the defensive characteristics of Jaylen Ross, the headband man who is defending him now.

Jaylen Rose is a player who is good at outside shooting and fouling. Standing on the free throw line, he made two free throws and the Pacers led the Warriors 9-3.

The Warriors haven't called a timeout yet.

Carlisle raised Qin Fei a little bit, ready to continue to observe the situation.

With 7 minutes and 47 seconds left in the first quarter, the offensive efficiency of the two teams is very average.

The Warriors had the ball, and Blaylock dribbled through halftime.

The 35-year-old Mark Jackson was tough on defense and never backed down. The two tangled at the three-point line, and Blaylock dribbled behind his back, switching to a left-handed possession away from Mark Jackson's defender.

At this time, someone on the inside came out to pick and roll, and Blaylock went down the false screen.

Blaylock didn't find a chance to pass the ball and directed it to Qin Fei on the flank.

Grant was about to bring it up for Qin Fei to pick and roll, but he saw Qin Fei wave his hand, signaling him to open the space.

Everyone opened up the space and gave the superstar a one-on-one chance.

Jaylen Rose didn't dare to be careless. He leaned on Qin Fei's right side and only prepared to give Qin Fei the left side to break through. The left side was guarded by Dale Davis. It was the Pacers' defensive strategy to let Qin Fei go to the bottom corner when holding the ball in the left area.

Qin Fei put the ball almost on the ground and looked up to see Jaylen Rose and Dale Davis who was about to move inside.

Suddenly, he pulled the ball back, took two steps away, and opened up a little offensive space with Jaylen Rose.

Jay followed him out, and Qin Fei had already started dribbling with his right hand.

He quickly ran to Qin Fei's right, but Qin Fei suddenly put his right hand under his crotch, replaced it with his left hand and dribbled through.

This step was too big, Jay adjusted his center of gravity and rushed forward.

At this time, Qin Fei pulled the ball back in front of his body, and receiving the ball was a retreat.

How could Jay Chou keep up with Qin Fei, watching helplessly as Qin Fei withdrew from beyond the three-point line.

Then the whole person floated up and threw the ball high in the air.

Qin Fei's shooting is also a two-stage shooting. This kind of shooting is popular among stars at this stage. He jumps to the highest place first, and then makes a shot after ensuring safety.

Jaylen Rose's eyes flashed.

He seemed to be unable to brake, and took a small step forward. When Fei Ligai came, his dirty feet were secretly stuffed under Qin Fei.

After Qin Fei shot and landed, he had already noticed the opponent's small movements. He lifted his feet forward and fell backward with his body.

The arc of the basketball is very good, and there is no net splash when entering the frame.

"boom!"

Qin Fei fell to the ground, but the referee didn't blow.

He quickly got up to chase Jaylen Rose, but fortunately the Pacers didn't intend to take the opportunity to break fast.

9 to 6, after the Warriors scored 3 points, they recovered some points.

"The ball should be given to Qin Fei. The Warriors don't need so many twists and turns or complicated passing tactics. The Warriors can even try to play a triangle offense."

When the ESPN host was hosting, he couldn't help but give advice to the lagging party.

Of course, it's one thing to have a trick, and quite another to be heard.

Qin Fei took the initiative to attack, not only to score goals and break the team's scoring dilemma, but more importantly, to release the signal of this ball to reduce the pressure and tension of his teammates.

When retreating, the Warriors players really coordinated their movements a lot.

The Pacers went to attack, Reggie Miller came out to catch the ball, Qin Fei followed too closely, and the point guard continued to pass the ball to the next player who came out.

Jaylen Ross.

Jaylen Rose took the ball and sent it forward, took a big stride to keep up, and broke through diagonally.

When he hit the basket, he encountered Grant and Daben's supplementary defense. There was no room for passing the ball at all, so he had to increase the arc to shoot.

Sure enough, the basketball missed and bounced off the rim.

Rick Schmitz at the basket felt that he was about to catch the rebound, but the Warriors' big black man turned around like a beast and jumped out for the second time.

"Peng!" The two bumped into each other.

Big Ben tapped the rebound with his long arm, and the rebound bounced again, and then Big Ben jumped again and grabbed the rebound.

Among the insiders of the Pacers, Dale Davis is a blue-collar player. Although the other Schmitz is taller, his rebounding ability is average. It is not easy to grab rebounds on Da Ben's head.

Big Ben protected the backcourt rebound, and the Pacers harassed him for the ball.

Blaylock took the ball and advanced a few steps, and made a through pass to Qin Fei in the frontcourt.

It was Qin Fei who singled out the defenders.

He dribbled the ball under the crotch while on the move, turning from the left side to a breakthrough to the right side. With one step, he broke through the defender's defense, and then he rushed to the basket with a flat speed.

With Reggie Miller's supplementary defense on the side, he wanted to pull Qin Fei down viciously.

But he still underestimated Qin Fei's strength. When he ran, he was full of impact. Although he was pulled, he was still able to throw the ball with one hand.

Off-balance throws look too high.

After hitting the board, he fell into the basket.

"Shh!"

Qin Fei fell to the ground and roared excitedly.

The noisy Conseco Arena suddenly fell silent
Two points scored, but also a penalty.

"This ball is entirely Qin Fei's personal ability."

"After a bad start in the first quarter, Qin Fei broke out suddenly, helping the Warriors hope to tie the score in this round."

Qin Fei walked to the free throw line and made an additional free throw.

The game enters a timeout.

The Pacers don't have a good way to defend Qin Fei.

They can only use small moves, or do some shady tricks, in short, for the final championship, they will do everything they can.

However, the two main flanks defending Qin Fei were both fouled at this time.

It was only halfway through the first quarter, and the players showed solemn expressions during the timeout, and the pressure was very high.

They can deeply feel the unreasonableness of the Warriors at this moment.

Obviously they are not as good as the Pacers in terms of combat power or court status as a whole, but they were able to catch up with the score in a wave and use indiscriminate singles to save the entire team's offense.

This is very troublesome, so Larry Bird can only arrange double teams.

"Give me a double-team!"

"In the 1-minute game, you directly ruined the 6-point lead. If it is like this, we will all go home."

Back from the timeout, the Pacers began to double-team Qin Fei frantically.

Qin Fei doesn't play the ball every time he double-teams, sometimes he will deliberately attack with the ball a few more times, which consumes the Pacers players' rotational defensive energy.

There is less pressure on the rest of the Warriors.

But not every goal can be scored.

In this way, the two teams maintained a delicate balance.

The score began to take the lead alternately. At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors were 23 to 20, leading the Pacers at home by 3 points.

Qin Fei played the entire first quarter, and his personal data was fixed at 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

At the beginning of the second quarter, he sat down to rest.

After only 3 minutes of rest, he was put back on the court by the head coach. When he came on the court, the Warriors trailed the Pacers by 24 point 25-1.

The Pacers have no defensive flanks, and have to rely on Reggie Miller and Jaylen Rose as the main defense, supplemented by other players to help defend, to deal with Qin Fei.

As soon as Qin Fei got on, Jaylen Ross also got on.

This Jaylen Rose was very dark in his heart, and the defensive end was full of small moves. Qin Fei knew what kind of player he was after the three-point shot in the first quarter, and he was secretly vigilant.

Qin Fei didn't know that in his previous life, this year's playoff finals should be a battle between the Lakers and the Pacers. During the G2 game, Jaylen Rose injured Kobe of the Lakers by stepping on his foot.

At that time, Kobe, who had a sprained ankle, had to miss the G2 game, and the entire G2 game lasted 9 minutes.

Later, the G3 game was not played, and the Pacers once thought that Kobe would miss the entire series.

Jaylen Rose was also shameless, and later said bluntly: "I did that on purpose at the time. It was not an accident. If he (referring to Kobe) can miss the entire series because of this, I will have a championship ring."

The Pacers were secretly delighted, thinking that when the turning point came, Kobe actually came back from the front line in G4, scored 28 points as soon as he came back, led the Lakers to beat the Pacers in overtime, and got the match point.

Qin Fei held the ball with one hand, away from Jaylen Rose's harassing arm.

Then before he could attack much, someone from the other side double-teamed him. Qin Fei immediately took a step out and transferred it to his teammates on the other side to stabilize.

After stabilizing, the basketball was passed to him again.

Qin Fei immediately broke through after receiving the ball.

It was still the explosive speed brought by the master of the first step. Jaylen Rose had just finished double-teaming, and the defense was too outside, and Qin Fei gave it in one step.

Reaching out and pulling empty, Qin Fei left him with a back that he couldn't catch up with.

Dale Davis was not up, and the Pacers' ability to protect the frame in the penalty area was average. Qin Fei and the backup center resisted for a while, paused slightly, and scored the ball after staying in the air.

At this time, Jaylen Rose arrived, and the hand stretched out in the air prevented loneliness.

"This is also possible?"

Pacers fans wailed.

Qin Fei is too strong. He can shoot, attack the basket, and link up with teammates. He is omnipotent. His finishing ability on the court is obviously better than others.

Larry Bird shook his head, and quickly replaced Reggie Miller, who could not wait.

"Reggie."

Before going on the court, Larry Bird wanted to say something, but he still didn't speak in the end.

Miller knew everything, nodded at Bird, and then walked onto the court.

Reggie Miller was the greatest rivalry of the Jordan era.

Reggie Miller sniped Jordan many times, although not fully effective, but also left a great reputation.

He is an underrated king of efficiency. He is definitely one of the true shooting percentages in history. He is the only Mr. 90 club in the 180s.

90年代的NBA是历史上防守最强悍的时期之一，米勒1993-94赛季投出了50.3%（投篮），42.1%（三分）和90.8%（罚球）的命中率。

Miller came on as a substitute, also rushing to play more than 40 minutes of the game.

As soon as he came on the court, he ran out of the neutral position with a flexible movement.

Then hit a mid-range shot to help the Pacers stabilize the situation.

After scoring a goal, Miller spat trash talk at Qin Fei.

"Go back and practice again, you are far behind Jordan."

There is a reason for Miller's trash talk. Before the game started, many media compared Qin Fei with Jordan.

The Pacers are responsible for playing the role of stepping stones. They believe that if Qin Fei beats the Pacers to win the championship, then Qin Fei should be respected and worthy of comparison with Jordan.

This is obviously a flattering report, which is very common. The only bad thing is that it ignores the feelings of the Pacers.

From the start of the game until now, Qin Fei's performance really made the Pacers players hate him.

The aggro is maxed out, and it's not surprising that Miller started talking trash.

However, Qin Fei is the kind of passive player. When someone talks trash to him, he never refuses anyone who comes. He responded with a smile: "I beat Jordan in the Finals. You beat Jordan?"

Reggie Miller snorted coldly: "You watched my ball grow up, not I watched your ball grow up."

Qin Fei smiled.

"Sorry, I never watched the NBA since I was a kid"

In terms of the ability to raise the bar, Qin Fei is also second to none.

Reggie Miller always feels that he accidentally hurt himself when he spouts trash, but he doesn't care, he spouts whatever trash he likes, as a shooter, he is very calm in his mind.

Qin Fei felt a little "like" being disturbed by Reggie Miller, and his touch after the second quarter was average.

The Warriors were 43 to 45 at halftime and were overtaken by the Pacers by 2 points.

At the end of halftime, Qin Fei scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, which already filled the entire technical column, which is a data that most NBA players may not be able to achieve after a normal game.

The players walked back to the locker room from the player tunnel.

As soon as he entered the locker room, Carlisle announced that he would make lineup adjustments in the second half.

"Guys, we are still playing too passively. We need to make a change. This is the finals. This is the only stage where you can prove that you can do it too."

"Nobody believed we were going to get here, and yet it is."

"We have the best team and we will win."

Carlisle is rare to be sensational. After hearing this, the players' noses were sour, and it is true.

The Warriors have been underestimated since the beginning of the season, and they finally made it to the playoffs, and they were also underestimated along the way.

There's only one way to shut someone up.

That is to speak with practical actions.
