Chapter 476 Anxiety
"Cuban is stubborn, but he's okay."

In an interview after the game, when asked about the episode of interaction with Cuban during the game, Qin Fei felt very strange. Did the two communicate a lot?

However, he still gave Cuban a positive evaluation.

This little fat guy who can dance is actually a big boy who won't grow up, except for jumping a little, there is nothing wrong with him.

As for proactive provocation and big talk, isn't this the most common thing in the NBA?
No fuss.

After the first game, the number of "professionals" who looked down on the Mavericks suddenly increased.

One problem with the Mavericks' trio is that none of them are good defensive players.

Now all three are in their prime, but this problem has been exposed.

Who will defend Qin Fei?

Nash or Finley?

Don't be kidding, it's only Finley who can resist for a while, and when someone else comes up, it's a natural dislocation, not much different from giving points.

So Old Nelson also knew this and made adjustments in the second half.

He tried to save the team by attacking, but it still failed.

Nowitzki's personal style is very obvious. He just needs a defensive inside line to match him, supplemented by a group of players with excellent outside shooting.

Old Nelson is quite clear about this point.

The only hesitation is whether Nowitzki can support such an offensive request?
Therefore, on the core issue, Old Nelson is still vacillating.

This has also led to today's Mavericks, although the bulls are advancing side by side, but it does not have the effect of one plus one greater than two on the court.

But the Mavericks are still a strong team in the West and an upstart by virtue of their strong firepower.

During the regular season, the Mavericks averaged 100.5 points per game and made 38.5% of their three-pointers. They are the most accurate three-pointers among the teams in the league with more than [-] points.

Peripheral firepower has shaped the Mavericks into a shooting team.

However, many people feel that it is difficult to win a championship if you only rely on shooting.

There is indeed a historical basis for this.

So far, none of the shooting teams have won a championship.

Of course, with the development of history and basketball, this conclusion was later broken by the Mavericks themselves, proving that the shooting team can also win the championship.

Under the current NBA rules and popular culture, it is difficult for the shooting team to win the championship, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The first game against the Warriors proved what it means to win a championship with defense.

The Warriors' defense is tougher than it was last year.

After Artest grew up, he liberated Qin Fei on the flank, and Qin Fei put more energy on offense.

This season, although the Warriors allow their opponents to score nearly 95 points on average, their defensive efficiency at critical moments ranks first in the NBA.

It shows that the Warriors are a defensive team, and the key to victory at critical moments comes from defense.

Artest is even expected to be named to the NBA's All-Defensive Team of the season.

Artest himself has always been this goal.

His mouth is not small, and when facing the media, he even shouted the slogan "I want to get the best defensive player".

He also dared to speak up for himself, which sounds ridiculous.

There are only a few people who won the best defensive player on the outside, Jordan, Payton...
Artest wants to be one of them, and it is too difficult to defeat many inside frame protectors.

Two days later, in the Oakland Stadium.

Warriors and Mavericks fight again.

This is a G2 game between the two teams, and the Mavericks are naturally at some disadvantages.

The Mavericks players are under a lot of psychological pressure, and they have heard too many arguments from the outside world about "after losing this game, how low is the final winning percentage".

So at the beginning of the game, the Mavericks players had cold hands and feet, stiff movements, and fell into a disadvantage.

The Warriors took the lead, and Qin Fei scored 5 points in a row with dunks, stopping the Mavericks at the beginning.

After the old Nelson timed out, he arranged even crazier outside tactics. As long as the outside players of the Mavericks had a chance to make a shot, they would resolutely take a three-pointer.

Nowitzki, Finley and others felt warmer and hit 3 points one after another to help the Mavericks catch up with the point difference.

The Mavericks shooter is still very elite, hitting three-pointers one after another.

Carlisle called a timeout to deploy defensive tactics, allowing players to expand their defense, oppressing the Mavericks' shooting space and reducing their three-point shooting percentage.

The old Nelson saw the trick, and then used the traditional pick-and-roll tactics to attack the Warriors inside.

Then he was capped by Big Ben twice.
Big Ben has the league's top frame protection ability, which many people are deceived by his height and appearance.

The result of rashly challenging Daben is to be overthrown by Daben one by one.

Of course, Big Ben himself has a higher risk of becoming a background board for others.

The Mavericks do not have a super shooter. Players including Nash and Finley may be able to make a breakthrough, but their ability to finish at the basket is average. It is very difficult to score in the penalty area guarded by Ben.

Both opted to give points to the paint on an offense.

Then Big Ben returned to the defense, raised his hands high, and carried Bradley or other centers who were much taller than him to complete the small defense.

The Mavericks' offensive firepower stopped again.

The Warriors took the opportunity to expand their lead, leading the Mavericks by 51 points 43 to 8 at halftime.

In the second half of the game, the Mavericks' offense became more aggressive.

At the same time, choose a crazy rotation defense and use rotation to limit the Warriors' scoring.

Qin Fei seized the opportunity of playing big against small or small against big, and scored consecutively, helping the Warriors expand their score advantage to double digits.

At the end of the game, the Mavericks suddenly had a good touch, and they were only 3 points behind.

At the critical moment, it was Qin Fei who hit the inside 2+1, allowing the Warriors to regain the lead and allowing Bradley to lose his fifth foul.

Little O'Neill's eyes lit up when the big bamboo pole was tied up.

Jermaine O'Neal was too young, so he thought that Bradley would not dare to defend. Unexpectedly, Bradley was very stable. He was able to complete an excellent defense with five fouls on his back, blocking Jermaine O'Neal's two offenses.

The Warriors also wasted two opportunities to continue to expand the score.

The two teams played until the last minute, and Qin Fei controlled the ball from the outside to control the time.

The Mavericks played better than they did in Game [-], but the hole they dug before the fourth quarter was too big.

In the end, the Mavericks failed to seize the opportunity to fight back against the Warriors and lost the away game 94 to 99.

Both teams had a fast offensive and defensive rhythm and contributed to a defensive battle.

In fact, the score is not low, but counting the number of rounds, it can be regarded as a defensive battle.

Big Ben scored a game-high 18 rebounds and blocked 6 shots at the same time, and was named the MVP of the game.

Although Bradley, who was facing him, also blocked 4 shots, he only grabbed 6 rebounds, all of which were caught by Big Ben. This guy is like a rebounding magnet installed in his hand.

Qin Fei was full of praise for Da Ben.

"He is always full of energy on the court. He affects the game all the time. With defense and rebounds, he destroys the opponent's belief."

It was not the first time Qin Fei praised his teammates, but his praise this time seems to have been more widely recognized.

The local media in San Francisco dubbed Ben the "Hand of the King."

"Hand of the King" is an important position in the serious fantasy novel series "A Song of Ice and Fire". Currently, this fantasy novel is still being serialized, and the third volume "A Storm of Swords" has just been published.

This praise can be said to be very high. The hand of the king represents the former prime minister, and it can be said that one person is under one person and above ten thousand people.

In the Warriors, the king is undoubtedly Qin Fei. After such a calculation, does the outside world recognize Da Ben's status as "second in command"?

The debate over who is the Warriors' second-in-command has been inconclusive over the years.

Big Ben was the first to be recognized, but Billups, O'Neal and others chased aggressively, especially Billups, who played an important role in the coach's mind. He had a high tactical status in the Warriors and was also considered a potential candidate for the second head.

Such an argument is actually very boring, but the players are quite concerned.

He didn't say it, but even if it was the second in command position, he still had to fight for it.

It is not the first time that Ben has played such a performance. The reason for his experience this time is because the Mavericks are not weak inside, and Ben has contributed even more impressive statistics.

In the West, in addition to the Warriors leading the Mavericks 2-0, the Lakers also led the Kings 2-0.

It seems that both the Warriors and the Lakers embody the "two super and many strong" pattern.

Including the highly anticipated Kings, it seems that there is not too much resistance. The strong MVP contender Chris Webber is completely unable to match the "OKK" combination created by the strong MVP contenders.

The Lakers' inside advantage has been enlarged, but this is not the main reason for defeating the Kings.

The main reason is that the Kings can't defend against Kobe. The Kings are not weak on the inside, but the outside defense is very problematic. Facing the top assaulters, scorers, and drafters of the younger generation like Kobe, there is no good way to limit them.

Kobe was very excited when he played the Kings or the Blazers, and he could often perform better than usual.

It seems that neither the Kings nor the Mavericks have much hope.

As a result, just two days later in Sacramento, the Kings played at home and broke out. Seven players scored in double figures in the game, beating the Lakers 117 to 108 and pulling back a victory.

This is a gorgeous victory. The Lakers are not on the offensive, but the Kings are crazy.

No one can guard against this bloody Princeton. The Lakers' back door has been poked countless times, and the hole is so big that Phil Jackson can't wait to go on the court to guard the goal.

A big victory not only stopped the Lakers from winning consecutive victories, but also gave the Mavericks players who are also the Western Conference team a shot in the arm.

"There are no galactic battleships in this world."

"There is no team that can't beat, only NBA players who don't work hard."

"The weather in Sacramento is good, we will definitely come back to play here!"

The Kings players expressed their opinions one after another, and for a while, their confidence reached MAX again
In the East, the 76ers played against the Bulls, and the Bucks played against the Heat.

In the series with the Bulls, McGrady and Iverson staged a confrontation.

In the first game, Iverson scored 51 points and led the 76ers to victory.

The 76ers are a bit more sophisticated. Regarding Iverson's defensive problems, the Bulls seem to have no rules and can't find a better solution.

As a result, in the second game, McGrady broke out and scored 47 points, leading the Bulls to a victory.

The 22-year-old Tracy McGrady is omnipotent, with ecstatic pull-up jump shots, the first breakthrough that is always one step ahead, the inside pull to pick the basket, and fast break dunks. He turned the game into an art field and wrote the best poems on the field.

The Philadelphia fans were so surprised. They never expected that such a fierce home team in the regular season would lose their home game in the playoffs.

In the second game, the Bulls played very well as a whole, and the Big Three played well with each other.

For a time, speculation about the possibility of the 76ers being overturned filled the entire league.

Many experts jumped out to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams.

In the end, I came to a conclusion-the Bulls have great hopes!

The experts are all poisonous milk. Within three days of this wave of strong predictions, the Bulls returned home and lost, and it was a 71-103 disastrous defeat. The Bulls lost 76 points to the 32ers.
In this campaign, Iverson and Tracy McGrady didn't make any noise. One scored 35 points and the other scored 27 points.

The Bulls were turned into sand sculptures by the 76ers, especially the insiders. Whether it was Dayao or Brad, they were rubbed on the ground by Shifo alone, and they only exerted [-]% of their power out of ten.

The two teams scored 2 to 1, and the 76ers regained home court advantage.

The other round was the match between the Bucks and the Heat, and there was also something unexpected, that is, the Heat didn't win a game, and lost three games in a row, sending the Bucks directly to the match point.

The Bucks will most likely be the first team to advance.

Because on the day the Bucks got the match point, the Warriors also lost.

The Warriors played an away game against the Mavericks. The Mavericks team felt hot. They overtook the score from the middle of the second quarter and led until the end. They defeated the Warriors 107 to 98 and kept a home game.

Qin Fei scored a game-high 41 points in this game, but the overall state of the team is not good.

The players missed many must-have goals, and the basket was almost crooked.

After the Mavericks pulled back a victory, the team's momentum skyrocketed.

Including Nowitzki, who played well, also spoke.

"The series is far from over. Our only goal now is to beat the Warriors, regardless of any other factors outside the court."

The off-court factors he refers to are the various analyzes of experts.

Too much, and predictions.

Before such a major event stage, there will always be people who are particularly accurate and inaccurate in prediction.

This is also one of the NBA's strategies for focusing on topics. Through the creation of various topics, more fans and media resources will be tilted to achieve the purpose of publicity.

In terms of overseas markets, the current NBA has achieved the No. [-] position in the four major leagues in North America, relying on various topics and the image shaping of differentiated promotions for many stars.

What people see is a flourishing NBA.

Of course, the current NBA has a tendency to move from the era of vying for the throne to the era of "big players".

During the second round of the game in full swing, the NBA officially announced the best team and best defensive team of the season.

This is the NBA season award, selected to the best team, is the best proof of the player's strength.

To some extent, if there is a comparison between the best team and the All-Stars, then players must prefer to be selected to the best team, because the former is a reward for outstanding performance throughout the season.

Especially the best team in the NBA is even more difficult to obtain.

Many superstars have been selected for the first team only a few times throughout their careers.

As of 01, the player with the most first-team selections in the NBA is Karl Malone, who has been selected to the best team 11 times in his career.

After him, there is a group of super giants tied for second with 10 times, such as Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others.

In this lineup, the most difficult thing is the center, because the center is selected for a single position, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the second team or the third team.

Stronger than O'Neal, as of this season, he has only won 2 best team first teams in total.
