Chapter 486 Whose home field is it?
The Warriors have a lot of players from the streets.

Like Jermaine O'Neal, he is also a representative of street origin.

With a height of 2.11 meters and a weight of 103 kilograms, Jermaine O'Neal showed great talent in high school.

In the three years of high school, he averaged 22.4 points, 12.6 rebounds and 5.2 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 68.2%.

He was clearly a class above the kids his age, dominated the court on both offense and defense, was selected to the All-American High School Basketball Team without any suspense, and represented the United States in the World Youth Championship.

He made it to the NBA with confidence, and then hit the ground running.

He spent three hellish years with the Trail Blazers.

In the three years of the Trail Blazers, the "water dispenser administrator" is his truest portrayal, averaging only 12 minutes per game, averaging only 3.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per game.

People's evaluation of him is that this kid is far inferior to Rasheed Wallace.

Later, the Warriors fought hard for a deal, and O'Neal was sent to the Warriors, which opened a new chapter in his career.

In the first year of the Warriors, Jermaine O'Neal was still mainly a substitute, adapting to the team's offensive and defensive system, and slowly increasing his status in the mind of the coach.

In the second year, Jermaine O'Neal sat on the starting lineup as he wished. Although he didn't start every game, it was enough to cheer him up.

This year, Jermaine O'Neal's data exploded, averaging 12.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in the regular season, which was matched with his four-year $4 million contract.

O'Neal has always been very grateful to the Warriors. In the Warriors, it is a stage of rebirth in his career.

Fans picked up the plane, watched the press conference, watched training, took photos together, asked for autographs, and even just after the preseason game, the No. 7 jersey with "O'NEAL" printed on it was sold out.

It was also since then that O'Neal Jr. knew that the Bay Area would be the most suitable soil for his growth.

The barbaric growth in San Francisco gave O'Neill a stage to show off his talents to the fullest.

Including when reaching the playoffs, the coach entrusts him with important responsibilities.

O'Neal knew it was coming sooner or later, so he was prepared.

Including at this moment, raising his hands and catching a ball that is related to his personal fate and the fate of the team.

Take a deep breath and raise your hand.

As far as the eye can see, there is only a basket like a sea of ​​stars.

Karl Malone rushed over, stretching out his short arms, trying his best to interfere with O'Neal's shooting.

O'Neal made a straight-arm jumper with excellent rhythm.

The basketball made a wonderful arc.

"Shh!"

It actually entered the net hollowly!

The noise on the scene instantly quieted down, and no one expected that it was not Qin Fei who hit the key goal for the Warriors at the last moment, but someone else.

Little O'Neill waved his fist and roared.

In front of Karl Malone, vent all the pressure.

He did it and lived up to Qin Fei's entrustment.

Looking around, sure enough, the boss of the team, Qin Fei, as well as the head coach Carlisle and other bosses all showed satisfaction and gave him affirmative eyes.

The Lakers requested a timeout.

Qin Fei took the lead in applauding, and came over and ravaged O'Neill's hair.

"You bastard, you can!"

To be honest, Qin Fei was already prepared not to make a move. In this case, with such a distance, when catching and shooting the ball, nine times out of ten he would be soft-handed. This is human nature.

Not to mention that O'Neal himself is considered a representative of the soft style of play.

Unexpectedly, he still had a hard time and completed the key goal excellently.

At this time, the two teams drew 96 to 96. At this critical moment of the game, both sides hit key goals consecutively, and the offensive efficiency was very high.

Qin Fei dragged O'Neal off the court.

O'Neal's goal was too critical, and the Lakers paid the price for their early double-teaming.

At this time, the outside world has exploded.

"Phil Jackson made a mistake in the layout. How can there be such a big vacancy at the critical moment?"

"It's okay to double-team Qin Fei early, but I really don't understand it when I double-team on the three-point line early. I'm a referee and I'm going to call the Lakers illegal defense!"

"It's over, the Lakers can't beat the Warriors in overtime."

There are a lot of arguments, criticizing the Lakers who had the advantage.

People think of last year, which was the same situation for many times last year. The two teams played to the final critical moment, and then the Lakers collapsed.

"The Lakers still have the last attack, we have to cheer for the team!"

The fans at the scene reacted, and then organized monstrous cheers, shouting for the team.

The Lakers made the last attack.

Soon, the timeout ended and players from both sides returned to the field.

The stadium quickly fell silent, and everyone held their breath, as if they could hear the heartbeats of the players on the field.

"duo~"

Whistle, serve.

The Lakers chose to serve from the sideline, Qin Fei chased Kobe to defend, Kobe moved from near the bottom line to the upper line, and used the double pick-and-roll cover of O'Neal and Karl Malone.

Good guy, two monsters with the same door panel are blocking there, and Qin Fei is immediately blocked.

"Don't change!"

Qin Fei yelled to remind his teammates that he could catch up.

If the attack time of the ball is less than 3 seconds, then Qin Fei will definitely let his teammates switch defenses, but with 9.7 seconds left, he predicts that the Lakers will make the next move.

Sure enough, Kobe took the ball and didn't attack directly. With this adjustment, Qin Fei followed him.

Afterwards, Malone disassembled and went out, while O'Neill walked in with bully steps.

At the same time, there is also a key player-Robert Horry ambushing in the bottom corner. Even if Kobe does not attack with the ball, he has a variety of options.

He chose to come first.

The ball has been passed just now, and the ball will come by itself.

In fact, Qin Fei had already guessed that this would happen, so a pair of big hands followed Kobe, and at the same time moved sideways to block Kobe's breakthrough.

Kobe simply dribbled the ball, feinted and longed to break through to the right, all the way to the bottom line, encountered Qin Fei's tight defense, and couldn't get into the inside line at all.

At this time, there is not much time left, and the situation on the field is one-on-one.

Phil Jackson originally intended Kobe to pass to O'Neal, but Kobe did not pass the ball.

On the bottom line, against Qin Fei's defense, he feinted twice without deceiving Qin Fei.

Then he turned around suddenly, turned over and forced a jump shot.

Qin Fei stepped on the floor and chose to attack later.

This choice is relatively conservative. The advantage is that it is not easy to be swayed by Kobe, and it can also interfere to a certain extent.

The two flew out one after the other.

After Kobe made his shot, time was running out.

The trajectory of the basketball deviates slightly, and it bounces off the basket.

"clang-"

When the bomb flies, the time is only the last 2 seconds.

The strong men under the basket became a group, and O'Neal's long arms overwhelmed Daben, and it seemed that he could only touch the basketball.

I don't know who clicked it, and the basketball was dialed out again.

But at this time, the time had run out, and the basketball was not scored, and it bounced off after hitting the basket.

Overtime!
Kobe's face was not very good-looking. He and Qin Fei witnessed the whole process of the last basket fight.

It was too difficult for him to shoot this goal. If it weren't for Qin Fei's defense, he should have scored this goal.

However, Qin Fei's pressure was too strong and his defense was too good, which seriously interfered with his shot, resulting in the goal not being scored.

The fans at the scene were silent for a moment, lamenting in unison.

Pity.
But overtime is also good, and the ticket price is worth it.

They put away their excited hearts and trembling hands, and sat down on their seats again.

The Warriors' life was hanging by a thread, and they were only a split second away from losing the game. They didn't expect to come back to life at the last moment.

The Warriors have always had a relatively high winning percentage in overtime. Like Qin Fei, he is very durable. He is a man who likes to explode in overtime.

"It's overtime and you don't explode, what's the point of this overtime?"

Qin Fei's motto is like this, so he is also called "the strongest man in overtime" by many fans.

Qin Fei scoffed at this, even if it wasn't for overtime, he was still very strong with his steely waist and perpetual physical fitness.

The two sides make the final arrangements.

The Lakers still have an advantage. For example, the Warriors' big Ben has already committed 5 fouls, and he will be sent off for another one.

This was achieved quickly in overtime.

In less than 20 seconds, Big Ben received his sixth foul on defense and was sent off.

You are too fast Qin Fei looked helpless. During the timeout just now, Carlisle said a lot of words, meaning to let Daben hold on for 2 minutes longer, and this is the result?

Da Ben didn't expect that he would be so fast, and he would usually try his best to hold on for a while.

He shook his head, and walked off the court amid boos and mocking cheers from the half-court audience.

The Warriors put on Clifford Robinson and directly confronted the Lakers.

Cliff couldn't guard O'Neal, and O'Neal started to score consecutive points. The Warriors had no choice but to double-team.

On Qin Fei's side, he also had a good offensive state.

O'Neal's goal was very passionate.

Qin Fei didn't waste his goal just now. In overtime, he used goal and score again and again to help the team hang their last breath.

Soon it was the decisive stage again, with 1 minute left, the two teams scored 104 to 103, and the Lakers led by 1 point.

The situation is not good for the Warriors, because the Lakers still have the ball at this time.

The Lakers control the rhythm and take time.

The offense was launched with only 10 seconds left, and the Warriors shrank their defense to lure the Lakers to shoot from the outside.

The Lakers didn't shoot from the outside and resolutely hit the inside. O'Neal overlord turned around and forcibly missed the hook.

The rebound was taken by Qin Fei.

Big Ben, who had already been sent off, applauded loudly outside the court.

Qin Fei grabbed the basketball with one hand, avoided the Lakers' pressure, dribbled through half court, and was not in a hurry to attack.

Carlisle didn't call a timeout, and handed over the last moment to Qin Fei.

Kobe was still defending Qin Fei, and with 30 seconds left, Qin Fei called Xiao Ao to come out to pick and roll.

O'Neal scored a key goal just now, and Qin Fei guessed that the Lakers would definitely not let O'Neal go to double-team him, so this pick-and-roll was called just right.

That's basketball IQ.

The Lakers really dare not take the risk of letting O'Neal go.

So Qin Fei accelerated his breakthrough with the ball, opening up a bit of the gap with Kobe.

At this stage, Qin Fei still has this speed.

This was unexpected for the Lakers. When Qin Fei got to the inside line, he joined the ball with both hands and took a big leap. He came to the left side of the Lakers and raised one hand to prepare for a layup.

Ma Long and O'Neill encircled Qin Fei together.

Among the crowd, Qin Fei was knocked down to the ground.

"foul!"

The referee blew the whistle and called the Lakers' defensive foul.

"what?"

This penalty was like a thunderbolt. The audience hugged their heads, and O'Neal, Karl Malone and other players looked in disbelief. They didn't understand how the referee whistled like this.

Phil Jackson chased up to the referee, he had lost the demeanor of a Zen master, and argued with the referee with a blushing face.

The referee spread his hands, and the other two also came together to fight against everyone.

Only Qin Fei had walked to the free throw line silently, ready to make a free throw.

At this stage, the Lakers' foul was called, and it was also committed by Qin Fei. This is really a blood loss.

However, the referee made up his mind and felt that the ball must have violated Qin Fei, there is no doubt about it.

Kobe shook his head, dissatisfied.

Qin Fei made two free throws amid boos from the audience.

105 to 104, at this time the Warriors lead by 1 point.

In fact, even at this moment, the Lakers still have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

But like being possessed, the key attack still missed this time, and it's the same reason if it was replaced by Karl Malone.

"I knew that I should give the ball to Robert Horry. These three giants are crazy at the decisive moment."

He couldn't score, and the rebound was pointed out, so Qin Fei took it.

Lakers fans looked desperate.

Not enough time, the Lakers adopted foul tactics.

The fault was still on Qin Fei. Qin Fei had already scored 47 points at this time, took the ball from the referee, and scored both free throws in a very cold-blooded manner.

At this time, it is too late for the Lakers to bet on three points.

With Kobe's last three-pointer missed, the Warriors 107 to 104 away, counterattacked the Lakers, and won the third game.

Qin Fei went berserk, scored 49 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, and once again showed terrifying dominance at the Staples Arena, stronger than the sharks.

Lakers fans never expected someone to play like this at Staples, more than once.

The Lakers' home court has almost become Qin Fei's cash machine.

It can be said that Kobe's defense is good enough, but Qin Fei is still difficult to defend, and the high score this time is also due to overtime.

The fans witnessed a wonderful game, but reaped a sad loss.

The Warriors players did not celebrate too excitedly. After high-fiving and hugging each other, they hurried back to the locker room.

In the locker room, Qin Fei took the lead and poured water from O'Neill's head, allowing him to enjoy the protagonist treatment.

"Jermaine is our hero in this game. Everyone worked hard, but we want to applaud Jermaine. He resisted the pressure and played very well."

Born on the street, O'Neill Jr., who has always been carefree, was a little embarrassed by Qin Fei's words.

He didn't expect to be able to show his face on the stage of the Western Conference Finals one day, and he didn't know what the mood of the Blazers' uniform team was at this moment?
He was looking forward to that scene, and it contained complicated emotions for the pioneers who chose him and suppressed him.

O'Neal's highlight moment shared Qin Fei's runaway aura to a certain extent.

In fact, the Lakers also played well. O'Neal scored 37 points, Kobe Bryant 29 points, Malone also scored 23 points, and the Big Three scored 89 points, which almost met all the expectations of the Lakers last summer.

Especially at the last moment, he also beat the Warriors inside to 6 fouls and left the field.

It's a pity that the Lakers didn't seize the opportunity and wasted their home court advantage.

Speaking of home court advantage, it is still quite controversial for the referee to whistle the Lakers for a defensive foul at the last moment.

"The referee ruined a great enough game, there is no need for such an embellishment." Many basketball experts also commented on this, with mixed reviews.

But no matter what, the result has come out.

The Lakers are now 1 to 2 behind. The series finally won the victory at the Warriors' home court and returned it. The Warriors will regain their home court advantage.

It's not that the Lakers will definitely lose, but it's a bit of a pity.

There has always been a lot of discussion about Qin Fei's outbreak at the Staples Arena.

Lakers fans couldn't figure out why Qin Fei could be so fierce in the Staples Arena, and whose home court was it?

"I've said it long ago. It's not advisable to defend against Qin Fei alone. Qin Fei is O'Neal on the outside. If you defend alone, no matter how strong the defender is, it's impossible to suppress Qin Fei. If you don't suppress him, you will be blown up by him. It's as simple as that."

Cuban, who was tortured by Qin Fei in the first two rounds, jumped out and said a lot.

He was indeed telling the truth, and his intention was to say that the Mavericks' loss to the Warriors was justifiable. Look, after all, a player like Qin Fei couldn't even guard against the Lakers.

But as soon as the words were conveyed, the taste changed, and there was actually a hint of pursuing Qin Fei in it.

What does it mean?
The alarm bells were ringing in the hearts of the Warriors fans, and they were very dissatisfied with the new and more enthusiastic owner of the Mavericks. Is this going to poach the wall?
Qin Fei signed a 99+4 five-year contract with the Warriors in 1.

Now that this contract has been completed for 2 years, Qin Fei can become a free agent in the summer of 03 at the earliest.

At that time, Qin Fei was just 25 years old and was about to enter the peak physical condition of a professional player.

Hiss~ Thinking of this, everyone shuddered.

If Qin Fei doesn't renew his contract with the Warriors in advance, then what kind of bloody storm will the free market in 03 be.

In order to fight for Qin Fei, I'm afraid everyone will fight over their heads, right?
I used to think that Qin Fei might not leave, but who knows?

After all, even Duncan went to Philadelphia.

Everything is possible.
