Chapter 484 Weathervane

In terms of hardness, there is no team in the entire NBA that is tougher than the Warriors.

How the Warriors won the series against the Lakers last year relied on their unparalleled toughness and hardness.

But this year is different from last year.

The Warriors are a team that has won championships. Most of the players on the team have championship rings, and only a small number of veterans do not have championship rings.

From a spiritual perspective, the desire for the championship of the players who have won the championship is very different from that of the players who have not won the championship.

Of course, the Warriors don't have the same level of fatigue.

This year, the Warriors won the first record of the season, and their own results are at the top of the league.

This result was not achieved simply, not to mention that the Warriors also encountered injuries and other factors during the season. It is not easy to be the first in the league.

Fans are extremely satisfied with the Warriors' performance in the regular season.

If you only look at last year's playoffs and this year's regular season, it is a complete round of events.

It's a pity that things like championships are rare.

Especially when the league has fallen into an arms race so pervertedly, various bad styles have formed, and fairy team combinations emerge in endlessly. Bay Area fans are naturally prepared for the expectations of the team.

"Winning is an honor, and losing is no shame."

Thinking about it this way, the resilience of the Warriors last year is much less.

It's not that it's not hard anymore, but that the hard ground is not obvious enough.

In comparison, the Lakers players have never won a championship. O'Neal, Kobe and Karl Malone are desperately trying to win a championship.

They don't want to fight for steamed buns, but they still want to win. They don't need championships to embellish their already perfect careers like Qin Fei. They just want to use championships to prove that they can win the championship.

The competitive arena is particularly cruel.

With a crown and without a crown, they are two completely different concepts.

The ratings of the Warriors and Lakers games skyrocketed.

The league has tasted the sweetness of superstar confrontation.

What is most important in the 21st century?

Talent!

If the NBA as a whole is a Fortune [-] company, then Qin Fei, Kobe and others are the most sought-after faces in the league, and they are talents who can directly bring considerable economic benefits.

Stern didn't say anything, but he was already prepared, and the overwhelming publicity was the Warriors vs. Lakers.

In terms of publicity, it is greater than the 76ers in the East against the Bucks.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the games in the Eastern Conference are not exciting.

The 76ers and the Bucks were equally inseparable.

From the perspective of the lineup, the Bucks are not weaker than the 76ers. The two teams faced each other head-to-head.

The two teams had a red eye. In the third game, Glenn Robinson and Iverson still had some conflicts and quarrels.

But fortunately, no major disasters were caused.

The referee was instructed to turn a blind eye as long as he didn't get started.

If the opponent's star is punished in this kind of game, let alone the controversy after the game, so many people spent so much effort and money to buy playoff tickets, is it just to watch some of your referees whistle?

The saliva on the scene alone can drown the referee.

The referee felt that this job was very tiring, with men on the left and right, and it was thankless.

Los Angeles, Staples Arena.

The G3 game between the Warriors and the Lakers.

A 1-1 tie in the series is equivalent to replaying a 5-game 3-win series, and the Lakers still hold the home court advantage.

Before the game, relevant ESPN experts gave predictions for this round of the series.

The prediction results show that the Warriors will advance, but they will play 7 games.

It's not the same as it was last year.

Last year, it was all predicted that the Lakers would advance.

It seems that they either know that their tainted milk attributes are reversed, or they think that a team with a high record in the regular season must be a stronger team.

Anyway, predicting, it is either A or not A, it is very simple.

Whether it is right or wrong is a job, and no one should take it seriously, whoever takes it seriously will lose.

On the game day, the stars in the Staples Center are shining brightly.

In addition to NBA stars, there are also outstanding people from all walks of life, dressed in decent clothes, sitting in the front row, just like the Avenue of Stars, glamorous.

After all, this is the Staples Arena, a star place close to Hollywood.

Why not watch a game and show your face when you are not filming at night?

When Qin Fei was warming up, he heard someone cheering for Kobe loudly.

He turned his head and saw Kobe with a cold face and a cool look.

The girl was the mixed-race girl Vanessa I met in the recording studio at that time.

Not to mention that Qin Fei noticed this girl, but all the media with a little discernment saw this flirtatious interaction.

But they are used to it and don't find it strange.

Many people in Los Angeles know that Bryant is having a hot fight with the 19-year-old biracial model.

Qin Fei smiled.

Vanessa also saw Qin Fei. Last summer, Kobe brought Vanessa and Qin Fei to meet each other, so everyone knew each other, so she also waved to Qin Fei as a greeting.

This time, Kobe's cold face couldn't hold back.

It was as if his hair had exploded, blocking Qin Fei's sight.

"What?"

Qin Fei was puzzled, what was the meaning of this?

Kobe snorted coldly, he didn't bother to explain, the fighting spirit in his eyes became more vigorous.

"Don't be nervous, look, there are quite a few people cheering for me!"

Qin Fei spouted a cannonball.

Kobe didn't believe Qin Fei's words at all, and taunted: "Do you think the Warriors are still at home?"

After the voice fell, the big screen at the scene switched to the sidelines, and it happened to freeze on the faces of two other beauties wearing Warriors No. [-] jerseys.

Helena and Mandy both looked up.

Both of them are dressed in the same outfit today, with baseball caps pressing down their wavy long hair, wide upper body wearing a Warriors black jersey, two long white python-like legs overlapping under denim hot pants, and on their feet are the mandarin duck-colored basketball shoes that Qin Fei wore on the All-Star Game.

With a delicate and pleasant face and a hot figure, it instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of all the male audience.

Such a pretty girl, actually came to cheer for Qin Fei?

Kobe: .
Others have families, but Qin Fei's family is too lethal. A Hollywood star actor-level appearance, a first-class model-level figure.

The two girls were secretly communicating over there.

Mandy is also very strange, I don't know why this scene keeps shooting them.

In the past, she must have lowered her head, but now she has grown a lot, chatting with Helena as if nothing had happened, as if she talked about something interesting.

The two laughed happily.

In an instant, the hearts of many viewers in front of the TV were hit.

Some people who didn't know Qin Fei deeply wanted to know who they were.

"In 1 minute, I want to know all the information about that blonde girl."

"Within 30 seconds, send the red-haired girl's information to my mailbox!"

The sand sculpture audience had a lot of fun and entertained themselves.

The G3 battle started on time.

Both starters have not changed.

The tactics are the same as the previous two games, like a replica of the first game.

The Lakers came up and attacked the inside first, while the Warriors chose to hand the ball to Qin Fei and use Qin Fei's personal offense to open up the situation.

Each has its own characteristics, and each has its own effects.

Tonight, the Warriors' interior defense is a little different because of Qin Fei's defense.

Qin Fei moved to the small forward position on the defensive end, Carlisle asked Artest to defend Kobe, let Qin Fei connect the internal and external defenses at the small forward position, and use strong defense capabilities to reduce the pressure on the inside defense.

This change is very targeted, but if O'Neill plays the ball slower, Qin Fei's double-team will be in place.

In the opening 4 minutes, the Warriors turned away and led 9-4 by 5 points.

Phil Jackson called a timeout and made some adjustments.

The main adjustment is to allow Bryant to strengthen the offense.

"It is necessary to exert offensive pressure on the perimeter so that they cannot double-team Shaquille more recklessly. Of course, their double-teaming may not always work, but for now, we must solve the problem from this aspect."

Phil Jackson and Kobe said.

Kobe nodded, understanding.

It's time for him to save the team on offense again.

After the timeout ended, Kobe immediately stood up and scored. Through an emergency stop in the middle distance, against Artest's defense, he scored the ball.

Artest's defense was already in place, but Kobe still scored.

When he fell, the others were still floating in the air, perfectly grasping his weak point of general jumping ability.

"The best way to make up for your weaknesses is to enhance your strengths."

"You can try to play more aggressive defense."

When Artest retreated, Qin Fei said beside him.

Artai nodded, in front of Qin Fei, he was so obedient that he didn't look like a strong man weighing more than 200 kilograms.

"I know."

Artest buzzed back.

Coming back belongs to the Warriors offense.

Kobe scored one, and Qin Fei also returned one.

He was about to attack the basket with the ball, but was double-teamed by O'Neal and others near the baseline.

A beautiful "The Encirclement and Suppression of Great Qin Fei".
Qin Fei stepped on the baseline and danced. The crowd sent the ball to Billups on the outside. Billups missed the shot and returned it to Qin Fei who came out of the bag.

Qin Fei raises the three-point line to shoot, hit!

"What a beautiful move, what a great shot!"

"Qin Fei felt hot at the start, the Lakers game is not easy!"

The hosts were all exclaiming. They almost immediately thought of Qin Fei's feat of scoring 62 points in a single game when he was a guest in Angel City this season. It is still a personal scoring record in a single game at the Staples Arena.

An arena's personal single-game scoring record, but it turned out not to be a Lakers player.

This makes the self-proclaimed rich Lakers fans feel particularly upset.

The host is the authentic instant noodles, which pot can't be opened, which pot can't be lifted.
Under the organization of the on-site DJ, the cheers of the Lakers fans became louder and louder, and they began to cheer up the home team.

With the addition of the home buff, O'Neal really showed his might, grabbed an offensive rebound during the offense, smashed through Big Ben and completed a violent slam dunk.

Then Malone received a pass from Kobe, and also hit a mid-range turnaround jumper.

The Lakers caught up with some points.

By the time the lineup was changed, the two sides were almost at the same level.

Qin Fei didn't rest in the first quarter, played the whole quarter and scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on Kobe's head.

In the second quarter of the game, Kobe took a regular rotation and rested off the court.

But when he looked up, Qin Fei didn't rest and was still on the field.

shit
Kobe couldn't sit still any longer and asked to play.

Phil Jackson was also very helpless, he didn't expect the Warriors to come out like this.

The Warriors Qin Fei didn't play, and there were Artest, James Posey and a group of long-armed and long-footed wings to defend Kobe, but the Lakers didn't have it. Except for Kobe, most of the other perimeter players were long-haired three-pointers.

So Kobe can only defend, and only Kobe can limit Qin Fei.

Qin Fei can't explode at this point, which is the tone of the game set by the Lakers early in the morning.

With a wave of Phil Jackson's hand, Kobe walked to the scoring table.

He can't play directly, and has to wait for a wave of dead ball time.

As a result, during this period of dead ball time, Qin Fei hit consecutive shots and felt hot.

At 10 minutes and 11 seconds of the second quarter, Fisher's offense caused Barkley to foul, and Kobe stepped onto the court again.

It wasn't a slick strategy, Qin Fei just took advantage of the good feeling of the hand, and then discussed with the coach to change the normal rotation rhythm and play for a few more minutes.

After a few rounds, Qin Fei felt his hands slip.

After two iron strikes, Carlisle replaced Qin Fei.

After Qin Fei, Kobe also came down to rest.

As a famous coach, Phil Jackson still knows how to choose.

The Lakers indeed have the home court advantage, and when the rotation lineup is duel, the score is slowly recovering.

The confidence of the Big Three is that even if they are in a rotation lineup, Karl Malone will lead the team on the court.

Ma Long's output was stable, and the two sides drew again.

At halftime, the Warriors led 49 to 47 by only 2 points.

"Is it another very anxious game?"

The fans already have a clear understanding, knowing that the game may not be decided until the last moment, and the Lakers, as the home court, have a certain chance of regaining the initiative on the court.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, the Lakers launched a fierce offense.

The two sides took the lead alternately, O'Neal was overwhelmed in the paint, and Big himself committed his third foul.

Qin Fei approached O'Neill and cut off one of O'Neill's attacks.

The Lakers switched to attacking the perimeter, and Kobe was able to hold his own. In this quarter, he scored consecutive points and hit a three-pointer off the dribble, establishing a leading advantage for the Lakers.

At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers overtook the Warriors by 75 points 72 to 3.

The two sides entered the final quarter of the game.

At this time, Qin Fei has scored 30 points personally, and he is the most stable and best performing player of the Warriors.

As everyone expected, Qin Fei didn't rest at the end of the quarter and continued to stay on the court.

The two sides entered into a hand-to-hand battle where the bayonet saw red, and every attack and defense went all out.

All the fans can see are jaw-dropping muscle collisions, lightning-fast all-court raids, and iron-blooded defenses that are accurate to the millimetre.
Qin Fei felt good at the beginning of the game, but average in the middle, and improved again at the end of the game.

As soon as the final quarter came up, it was a very simple false sudden retreat, raising his hand on the three-point line and making a long shot.

The Warriors tied the score.

Kobe didn't rest, Qin Fei didn't rest, and he didn't rest either.

Qin Fei hit a three-pointer against his defense, and the fans at the scene sighed. They couldn't believe that Kobe had defended like that, and Qin Fei could still make it.

A few months ago, Qin Fei scored 62 points in the Staples Center so brutally.

Everything seems to be vivid.

Some people said that it was because too many Hollywood stars came to watch the game.

This reason is untenable, because there are many stars watching each Staples game.

In short, Qin Fei has scored 33 points and is heading for a score of 40+.

The Lakers may be able to beat the Warriors, but for Qin Fei, there is still nothing they can do.

This is still the result of Kobe's leading defense. If it was replaced by someone else, it might have collapsed.

Philip Sanders and Nelson, who were watching the game, were thoughtful.

These days, the wind vane has completely changed.

"The team may not have a better big man, but it must not have a better defensive wing, otherwise it will be directly blown by Qin Fei."

"If you get blown up and your mentality collapses, what tactics are you talking about?"
