Chapter 483 No one can underestimate anyone

For many players from other leagues, entering the NBA game, the most difficult thing to adapt to is two aspects.

The first is that the pace of the game is too fast, and the physical energy consumption is too high. It often happens that several rounds are played within a minute, and there is an offensive and defensive transition in the blink of an eye.

The second is that confrontation occurs all the time. The confrontation between the player with the ball and the defender is the most basic, and it also includes the confrontation between players without the ball. The confrontation is every moment. Without enough strength and physique, there is no way to adapt to this kind of confrontation, and it is impossible to play out its own specialties.

Like the Warriors and the Lakers in the fourth quarter, the four King Kong are all the best confrontational players in their respective positions.

With this exaggerated tendon, let alone playing basketball, you can even believe that you are pulling a truck.
There are many people who like to watch such games.

On the outside, Qin Fei and Kobe got entangled again. At the last moment of the game, Kobe seemed to have completely given up on offense and focused on entangled with Qin Fei. This is the change and sacrifice he made, which is very different from last year.

"Kobe has matured a lot"

Qin Fei was filled with emotion in his heart.

If Kobe had played like this last year, he probably wouldn't have been able to beat the Lakers.

The point is that no matter what he says now, Kobe blocks it.

The Lakers are in the lead, and they also took the lead in the fourth quarter.

After Qin Fei appeared on the stage, he took on the important responsibilities of both offense and defense. If he hadn't had the talent of "perpetual motion machine", his physical strength would not be enough at this moment.

Fortunately, the talent badge has enhanced his endurance.

At 6 minutes and 35 seconds, Qin Fei, who was still out of the elbow area, received the ball, turned around and broke through to the bottom line.

His offensive moves are relatively simple, and when he dribbles near the bottom line, Kobe can still follow him firmly.

Qin Fei wanted to erase the past, but found that the space was very small, and if he broke through, he might be squeezed out of the bottom line, so he made a mistake.

So he combined the ball in time, made an emergency stop and then turned over.

Turned around in a circle, opened a little distance from Kobe, and shot a fallback jumper.

This action is very coherent, but it can't get rid of Kobe.

Kobe's defense was very good, and his palms were pressed against Qin Fei's face.

Qin Fei couldn't see the basket, so he gently pulled the ball out with his muscle memory.

The fingertips graze the rough basketball surface, and the shooting feels very soft.

The basketball floated out and went into the net hollow!

"Shh!"

Kobe knocked Qin Fei down, and the two fell to the floor together.

The referee signaled that the two points are valid, glanced at the two people, and didn't mean to call a foul.

Qin Fei didn't argue, and quickly got up and prepared to defend. The Lakers on the other side had already started to serve.

"Qin Fei is such a player, no matter how good your defense is, he can score points."

"Kobe has already defended the ball very well, but Qin Fei still scored with his personal ability. This is a superstar, what we often call a "giant planet."

Every ball is a key ball, and Qin Fei's goal sparked cheers.

Before the audience had time to be happy for a few seconds, the big shark in the frontcourt received the ball again from a deep position, turned around and hooked, and scored the ball.

A monster who averaged 30 points per game and shot close to [-]% from the field.

Qin Fei is already a scorer with a high hit rate, but he is not comparable to a monster like O'Neal who only works in the penalty area. After a game, O'Neal may only take 20 shots to achieve the effect that an outside player can achieve with 30 shots.

"It's a lot harder than last year."

Carlisle sighed inwardly, the Lakers were really well prepared.

He glanced at Phil Jackson on the other side.

At this moment, Phil Jackson raised his eyes and smiled politely.

Carlisle also nodded in greeting, and the two head coaches met in the air, as if sparks appeared.

Carlisle dispatched troops and replaced Barkley with O'Neal.

At this time, Big Ben fouled again, with 5 fouls on his back, and O'Neal went to the free throw line.

Although O'Neal missed two free throws, Daben was already in a very embarrassing state at this time. If he committed another offense, he would not be able to play this game.

Carlisle made a gesture, indicating to switch defenses, and asked Jermaine O'Neal to cover O'Neal for a while, and asked Ben to return to the auxiliary defense position.

Assisting in defense may also cause fouls, but assisting in defense does not mean that there will be no fouls.

It's just slightly better than direct confrontation.

This is also a helpless move. The current Warriors can do without Billups and Artest, but they absolutely cannot do without Big Ben.

Such a situation is even worse than when it was against the Lakers last year.

At 3 minutes and 45 seconds, Karl Malone received Kobe's ball and made a mid-range hit.

This is Malone's 20th point in the game, and he scored more points than Kobe.

Ma Long has a strong ability to resist pressure and stability. In this defensive battle, he can still contribute 20 points steadily, which is already very good.

Kobe and Malone high-fived to celebrate. The Warriors were 7 points behind the Lakers at this time, and the situation was more dangerous.

Qin Fei raised his hand to signal his teammates to speed up their offensive rhythm.

In the frontcourt, Kobe led Qin Fei.

Qin Fei took the ball with his back, and the Lakers chose to let Kobe and Qin Fei one-on-one.

Qin Fei turned back with the ball, spread his feet apart and took a tentative step.

Kobe's defense was too tight, and Qin Fei was not given any space. Qin Fei tried to break through step by step, and confronted Kobe during the breakthrough, using his strength to force Kobe.

Kobe is not as strong as Qin Fei, but his core strength is very good.

The confrontation is very strong, and there is no downfall.

Qin Fei dribbled the ball twice, then dribbled behind his back and switched to his left hand. He swayed the ball slightly with his left hand, and then took off directly and chose to make two points.

Long two-point offense is normal, and the top scorers in the league like to attack in this area.

Qin Fei's long two-point shooting rate is very high, reaching 45.6%, which is the highest in the entire league.

His shot this time is also in his rhythm.

Kobe's defense was in place, and the degree of interference reached full marks.

"clang!"

The basketball hit the back edge and bounced, missed
The fans at the scene were just ready to cheer, but they all put down their hands, rather disappointed.

Although Qin Fei is very good at key goals, it is impossible to score every time.

The current situation is very unfavorable for the Warriors.

The Lakers refused to be overturned like last year. Fisher received a signal from Phil Jackson and began to control the rhythm on the outside without rushing to attack.

Almost all the offensive time was spent, and the ball was lobbed to O'Neal.

O'Neal turned around and knocked O'Neal away, forcing O'Neal to cause his fourth foul.

This call was too detrimental to the Warriors, and Carlisle was furious all of a sudden, rushed to the court, spread his hands, very incomprehensible.

"Why?"

Is this also a foul?
From Carlisle's point of view, O'Neal defended the ball very well, holding his hands high without losing his position. It was a good defense, not a foul.

Qin Fei also felt that something was wrong, so he was very anxious and ran to argue with the referee.

"This ball is fouled? This ball is not fouled."

The referee raised his hand and said in a very positive tone: "Sir, I can see clearly, don't question my call."

"I'm not questioning your professionalism, you must have received rigorous training, but I just want to remind you that this game has attracted worldwide attention, and hundreds of millions of people are sitting in front of the TV."

Qin Fei reminded beside him: "The eyes of the masses are sharp."

What does this mean?
After hearing Qin Fei's words, the referee's heart trembled, and his face was not very good-looking.

On the other side, O'Neal grabbed the key free throw and made both free throws. The Warriors fell behind by 9 points.

The Warriors called a timeout to ease the situation.

Carlisle set up a variation on the Hawks offense during the timeout.

This set of tactics was designed for Qin Fei.

Back from the timeout, Qin Fei avoided Kobe's entanglement. Kobe was blocked by the wall of Big Ben and Jr. O'Neal. Qin Fei went out of the three-point line to receive the ball, and the Lakers chose to switch defenses.

At this time, Qin Fei did not choose to pass the ball, but singled out Ma Long, who had already switched defenses, one-on-one.

Ma Long was a little far away from Qin Fei. Qin Fei dribbled twice and made a jump shot from the three-point line.

Low flat ball, shot before Kobe's pursuit arrives.

"Damn!"

Kobe's heart skipped a beat, with a bad premonition.

Look back.

Sure enough, the low-level ball hit the back edge of the basket and entered the frame, simply and neatly.

Three point shot!
Everyone raised three fingers high to celebrate Qin Fei's goal.

Finally scored, this is not only a key three-pointer, but also a life-saving three-pointer.

Qin Fei himself was also very excited, clenched his fists and roared angrily.

One goal was scored, and the Warriors were still 6 points away.

At this time, the time is only about 2 minutes and 30 seconds left, and the Lakers continue to control the time.

It took a lot of time for Kobe to hold the ball outside.

With only 10 seconds left, the offense was launched, a very simple pick-and-roll offense, and Karl Malone's cooperation.

When he dribbled the ball to the free throw line, Kobe prepared to come by himself, but Qin Fei also stuck to it very tightly, and the degree of interference reached [-]%.

The shooting power was obviously stronger, and the basketball bounced off the back edge.

Under the basket, O'Neal and Big Ben competed for rebounds, and the two grabbed together.

The basketball flew again, Malone opened the way with an iron elbow, knocked O'Neal away and picked up a rebound.

But this time, a foul was called.

The referee began to find a balance, and called Malone for rebounding foul.

The fans applauded, and the Lakers were dissatisfied. Phil Jackson took the lead to find the referee to argue, thinking that this was a normal confrontation, and calling a foul was unreasonable.

referee:.
The Warriors are still 6 points behind, and Qin Fei has room for singles with the ball.

However, the hit rate is only more than 4%. You must get rid of Kobe first in order to greatly improve your offensive efficiency.

Once Qin Fei gets rid of Kobe, the Lakers will choose to double-team the defense.

This is the corresponding defensive tactic, very clear.

Qin Fei tried to pass a pass to his teammates. Jermaine O'Neal received a key pass. He wanted to hit the basket, but was blocked by Malone and almost didn't walk directly.

The Warriors' offense was in trouble, and it was finally passed to Qin Fei to attack.

With Qin Fei missing a long shot at the last moment, the general trend of the Warriors' game has been irreversible.

One minute later, O'Neal received a pass from the basket, completed a hook attack, and ended the game.

At this time, Billups completed the mid-range shot, but it was too late, and the Warriors would be futile to attack again.

As the game entered the last ten seconds of garbage time, the score was fixed at 93 to 87, and the Lakers beat the Warriors by 6 points.

Qin Fei scored 29 points, the highest in the game. In addition, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks were recorded, filling his own data column.

But the team lost the game. O'Neal scored 27 points and 16 rebounds, and Karl Malone scored 22 points and 8 rebounds.

The two King Kong hammers exploded the Warriors inside.

The Warriors are also very strong inside. Ben grabbed 11 rebounds and O'Neal contributed 3 blocks. However, it is an indisputable fact that they did not effectively prevent the Lakers from attacking inside.

But the Lakers' outside line was slag by the Warriors' defense. Kobe made only 18 of 5 shots and scored 15 points and 5 rebounds.

Compared to Qin Fei, he was completely at a disadvantage.

But Kobe's role is not reflected by the statistics at all. Although Qin Fei scored 29 points in this game, he only made 25 of 10 shots, far lower than his nearly 5% field goal percentage during the regular season.

At the end of the game, the Warriors lost to the "Big Three" Lakers.

Fans left the stadium disappointed.

However, although disappointed with this game, many fans still expressed optimism.

"It's not the first time for the team to play against the wind. We always like to start against the wind. Now, although we lost the first game, we only lost a home court. We still have a chance to win the series."

"Qin Fei explodes every time he plays an away game, maybe our home fans are not enthusiastic enough."

"After all, the Lakers have the Big Three. Although our Warriors have Qin Fei, they are hard to beat with two fists. Everyone has performed very well."

"Look at the salary, the opponent's salary exceeds that of the Warriors by tens of millions."

The fans understand the team very well, and there is no shame in losing to the Lakers.

It's just that the Warriors players themselves can't easily convince themselves that if they lose, they lose, and there is no reason.

Qin Fei also said in an interview after the game that the Warriors must show a desperate attitude in order to persist to the end in this round of the series.

"The Lakers' fighting power is very high. If you take it lightly, you will definitely suffer a big loss."

"We have lost our home court advantage. Every next game is crucial. Every rebound and every defense is very important. There can be no negligence."

Qin Fei's implication was also obvious, and he slightly criticized the team's fighting spirit.

If you lose, you have to criticize.

As the core player of the team, he is the top boss in the league.

He felt that he was also qualified to allow everyone to accept a little criticism.

This situation is relatively rare.

So the media are very surprised, is the situation already so unfavorable?
They instinctively smell something unusual.

Because Qin Fei has always liked to take responsibility after losing a game, and the players are also used to having someone help them take responsibility.

Of course, Qin Fei is not saying that he is irresponsible this time, his criticism is indiscriminate, and even the first one to criticize is himself.

"It's because I didn't play the game well. I missed some shots that should have been scored. I have to bear the main responsibility for the loss of the game."

Qin Fei's speech has always been very popular, even if it is criticism, it is also very popular. It perfectly interprets the mental outlook of a team leader.

On the other hand, when the Lakers players were interviewed, they were very humble.

Players including O'Neal, Kobe, and Malone were deeply poisoned by Qin Fei, so they were not willing to accept the praise and poisonous milk from the media. They shook their heads and said that a victory is nothing at all.

A media reporter asked Kobe, what does it feel like after winning the game?Are you very happy?
Kobe asked the media very unceremoniously: "The series is over? Have we won the championship? Any game that is going on, there is no joy, everything is not over yet."

Malone is also very honest.

He said: "I have played many games with the Warriors, mainly a few rounds of series with Qin Fei."

"He's the type of player who can come back from adversity. Of course, I'm not saying they're already in adversity, but any team that takes them lightly will pay the price."

Ma Long's implication is to warn the players not to underestimate the opponent.

Sure enough, what he said came true.

Two days later, the Oakland Coliseum.

The Warriors came back to win the G2 game. After falling behind by 11 points in the first half, they turned the game in the second half and won the second game 97-92 with difficulty, tying the score at 1-1.

Qin Fei scored 33 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in the second game. Although his scoring did not increase much, his shooting percentage returned to 50.00%, and he played an efficient battle.

The Lakers may be able to contain Qin Fei's outbreak, but it is impossible for him to play inefficiently in every game.

The two teams went to the next city in the Bay Area, and then the battlefield shifted.

Golden State Warriors visit Angel City!
