Chapter 487 Take turns

The entire month of May is a month when many sports events gather.

The NBA playoffs are one of the more eye-catching events.

In the Eastern Finals and Western Finals, Ray Allen, Iverson, Kobe Bryant, and Qin Fei, four shooting guards from the Class of 96, showed their talents on this stage.

People never imagined that in the 96 draft, so many outstanding guards would appear at the same time.

These four men were known as the "four shooting guards" in the league in the first two years.

Later, he joined McGrady and Carter and became the league's "big six shooting guards".

The "four shooting guards" each have their own characteristics. Ray Allen shoots accurately, Iverson breaks through sharply, Kobe has comprehensive skills, and Qin Fei has both offense and defense.

Regarding the quality of the 96th draft, it has also begun to be praised by people.

People dubbed this rookie "golden generation" honor and compared it with the 84th draft.

Since 01, most of the 96 draft picks have entered the peak state of their careers, and their talents and strengths have slowly begun to affect the entire league.

The series between the Lakers and Warriors is a good proof.

As strong as O'Neal, in fact, it is not the winner of the series. The key is to see how well Qin Fei plays and how efficient Kobe's defense is.

Qin Fei's third battle broke out, shattering the Lakers' dream of winning the first battle.

This is destined to be an anxious series.

At the same time, the Warriors also know that it is impossible to beat the Lakers in four or five games, and they are ready for a protracted battle.

Two days later, the two sides started the G4 battle.

This is a game where the Lakers lead from start to finish.

The Lakers felt hot at the beginning of the game. Malone and Kobe hit the mid-range one after another. Then O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebound and completed the dunk. The Lakers led by nearly 10 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, Qin Fei led the Warriors to recover some points. At the least, they were only 2 points behind.

But the Lakers still stabilized their position. Through the excellent performance of role players such as Robert Horry and Fox, they reopened the point difference. At the end of the half, the Lakers led the Warriors by 55 points 47 to 8.

Although the Warriors are behind, the point difference is not too big, and there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory.

As a result, in the third quarter, the referee's whistle suddenly changed direction. Da Ben was called for two fouls in a row. After playing for 2 minutes in the third quarter, he left the court for a rest. The Warriors were in a hurry inside.

The Lakers changed their minds and took advantage of the Warriors' weak inner line protection. They not only used O'Neal to destroy the inside line, but also guided Kobe and Malone's impact a few times, hitting a small climax of 11 to 3, forcing Carlisle to call a timeout again.

After returning to the court, the Warriors' offensive end has improved, but the defensive end still has no good way.

The Warriors players expanded their defense, played some offensive and defensive transition rhythms through some gambling-style steals, and recovered some point differences, but after all, it was only a trail, and they were still far behind.

In the final quarter of the game, Qin Fei led the players to launch a final counterattack in the first half of the quarter.

The counterattack failed, and in the end they lost to the Lakers 98 to 111 in the away game, which was considered a big defeat.

The Lakers were originally the target of verbal criticism, including many people who believed that the Lakers should win the third game. As a result, they won the fourth game. Many people turned their guns around and began to praise the Lakers and belittle the Warriors at the same time.

"The absolute strength of the Warriors is still not as good as the Lakers."

"The lineup around Qin Fei is too bad. Let's see what lineup is around Kobe. MVP-level Shaquille O'Neal + Karl Malone. Given Qin Fei's lineup, the Warriors may have already reached the finals 4-0."

Spraying and spraying, suddenly everyone pointed the finger at the Warriors' management.

In all fairness, the Warriors management team may be the most dedicated management team. Many of the Warriors' players were introduced by Qin Fei.

But in the eyes of others, the players in this lineup are all low picks or homeless. There are only a handful of players in the top five picks, and none of them are selected to the All-Star or the best team. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Qin Fei's weak configuration.

Others don't know this lineup, so Qin Fei doesn't know how strong it is?
Therefore, it is unreasonable to spray the inaction of the Warriors uniform team.

Qin Fei supported the Warriors uniform team in an interview.

"They really did a lot of work. I am very grateful for the dedication of the team's uniform team. The team can't get to where it is today without their decision-making. This is very critical."

Qin Fei said very sincerely.

After hearing this, the members of the uniform team were quite moved.

It's still better for Qin Fei to stand firm at the critical moment. The unscrupulous media is just playing around with the wind and making troubles all day long.

The game between the Warriors and the Lakers was tied 2-2.

Qin Fei and others left Los Angeles and headed to the Bay Area for the fifth battle.

The fifth game is the key battle between the two teams. In the whole series, in the case of a 2-2 tie, the team that can win the fifth game will have a particularly high probability of winning the entire series.

After all, he got the match point first, so he naturally has a great psychological advantage.

And this Tianwangshan battle is also a performance event for Qin Fei's many famous battles.

Even Qin Fei has the reputation of "Qin Tianwang".

The Lakers were facing a big enemy, Phil Jackson arranged a lot of tactics about Qin Fei before the game, Kobe did nothing these two days, just hid and studied Qin Fei's video, watched Qin Fei's latest offensive routines, hoping to find a better way to crack his offense.

in the east.

The Bucks and the 76ers also drew 2-2 and reached the Tianwangshan battle.

The absolute strength of the two teams is relatively similar, and the Bucks' "one-star four-shot" lineup can be said to have created a new world in the NBA.

Of course, this "one-star four-shot" is not the first time it has appeared. In the past two years when the Rockets reached the finals and won the championship, there is also a sense of this aspect.

But the Bucks' "one-star shooting" is slightly different.

His star is not the main point of attack, but the core of defense, and their four shots are not pure shooters, but the "musketeers" that the team depends on for survival.

Because of the draw between the two teams, the attention has been getting higher and higher.

Many people think that this round of the series is not as exciting as the Western Conference Finals. The drama of Iverson's battle with the Three Musketeers is also very heroic.

So when it came to the G5 game, the number of viewers rose sharply, and the ratings reached a small climax in this year's NBA playoffs, breaking many records.

In the G5 battle, the 76ers had the last laugh.

With just 48 minute left in 1 minutes of regular play, the two teams were tied 91-91.

At the last moment, it was Iverson holding the ball, and the outside crossover swayed away Ray Allen, entered the penalty area, and completed a throw over Mutombo's head.

This key goal directly changed the whole situation. After that, the Bucks' several offenses were blocked by the 76ers.

In the end, the 76ers won the game 95 to 93 and got a precious match point.

In this campaign, Iverson scored a game-high 35 points and sent 9 assists with only 2 turnovers. He was the MVP of the game.

Although the three musketeers on the Bucks side scored a lot, they seem to have no ability to directly control the game when taken alone.

There is no way to decide the game, which is the biggest trouble for the Bucks.

In the NBA, most of the time it depends on the superstar. Without a superstar, no one can make it to the end just by being reasonable and gambling three-pointers.

A day later, the Oakland Coliseum.

The Warriors and the Lakers ushered in the fifth game.

For this reason, the two teams know each other very well. They have all the players and tactics of the opponent, and they have a full note in their hearts.

So, the person who knows you best will always be your enemy.

Know yourself and the enemy.

There are no changes to the starters for either team.

The Warriors are playing at home, and the fans put on white jerseys to cheer for the home team.

Under the organization of the DJ, the audience gave out deafening shouts, and the momentum was quite huge.

The Warriors had a big defeat in the last game. After the game, the Warriors also held a special player meeting. Everyone sat together and discussed how to deal with the Lakers.

The main thing that revolves around is the century-old problem of "defending O'Neal".

In the final result, everyone believed that Ben was indispensable at the last moment of the game, so the number of fouls committed by David himself was very important. O'Neal could switch defenses with Ben at an appropriate time, and also defend O'Neal alone to avoid too concentrated fouls.

So from the beginning of the game, the Warriors implemented this tactic.

When O'Neal gets the ball inside, Big Ben is not the only one defending.

Sometimes it's Big Ben, sometimes it's O'Neal.

So the two each received a foul in the first quarter.

In fact, counting the substitute Clifford Robinson and others, the Warriors still paid a lot of fouls on O'Neal, but after the number of fouls is dispersed, it is still acceptable.

Carlisle's ideal state.

The two teams drew 25-25 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Lakers took the lead. Karl Malone, who played the game with a substitute player, completed consecutive scoring, and his personal score soon broke 10 points.

The Lakers also led by as much as 5 points.

In fact, 5 points is not a lot, but Carlisle was still very cautious and called a timeout to slow down.

Today, Karl Malone, the third giant of the Big Three of the Lakers, broke out.

Although Malone is not young, he has been well maintained. In the first two years, he was still a strong contender for the MVP in the league.

Coming to the Lakers this year, the personal data has plummeted, but the strength is still there.

With Malone on the court, the Lakers played more methodically.

Qin Fei came on stage early to help the team stabilize the situation.

Kobe's playing time followed Qin Fei, and when Qin Fei appeared on the stage, Kobe also appeared on the stage.

But Kobe had a lot of fouls today. When he played in the second quarter, one didn't care, and he paid another foul and committed two fouls.

Kobe's foul control has been very good, and the series has not encountered a foul crisis until now.

So no one in the Lakers cared about this situation.

Until the end of this quarter, Qin Fei made physical contact with Kobe in a very simple breakthrough, and then the referee whistled Kobe for a foul without hesitation.

Qin Fei walked to the free throw line, Kobe fouled 3 times!
Phil Jackson jumped out immediately and was awakened suddenly.

"Three fouls in the second quarter?"

Just like Big Ben defending O'Neal, Kobe also encountered a foul crisis.

With an unbelievable expression on his face, O'Neill spread his hands and came to the referee.

The referee very seriously and professionally pointed out a few points for calling Kobe's foul, which made O'Neal unable to speak.

Kobe had no choice but to replace, and Qin Fei immediately played more freely.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers overtook the Lakers in a wave, leading 52 to 48.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Kobe played with his hands tied.

Qin Fei took the opportunity to strengthen his personal offense.

Fortunately, the Lakers have an explosive Karl Malone. Malone scored consecutively under the tight defense of the Warriors. Whether it was a mid-range shot, an inside offense or a second offense after grabbing a rebound, he scored one by one.

The Lakers barely chased the score.

Kobe has been controlling his fouls.

If defensive players control their fouls, they will definitely lose their aggressiveness, which is inevitable.

So Qin Fei broke out in the third quarter, scored 19 points in a single quarter, and his personal score has reached 35 points.

Kobe, who resisted not fouling, was tough.

Even Qin Fei sighed in his heart.

It is precisely because of Kobe's forbearance that the Lakers kept the chance to counterattack in the fourth quarter.

The two sides entered the stage of decisive battle.

Kobe felt hot in the fourth quarter. After being beaten up by Qin Fei for so many games, he finally broke out completely in this quarter, and started to confront Qin Fei.

Three-pointers, mid-range shots, bottom-line pull-up layups
Just relying on the best touch to confront Qin Fei.

Qin Fei was also taken aback. He didn't expect Kobe to rebound from the bottom.

He was absolutely defensive, but Kobe still scored the ball one by one.

The two staged a one-on-one one-on-one show in a few minutes, and they refused to give in to each other, which became the most dazzling scenery in the G5 battle.

The two teams played with 2 minutes and 27 seconds left. Malone received the ball from O'Neal and made a layup from the middle.

The Lakers are only 95 point behind the Warriors 96 to 1.

At this time, the fouls on both sides are well controlled, and the number of fouls committed by the two teams is also about the same, with the Lakers only a little more.

The Lakers lineup is a three-team lineup. In addition to O'Neal and Malone, Robert Horry is also on the court.

This guy Horry is a lucky star and a famous Mr. Keyball.

So the Warriors didn't dare to let go of Horry at the critical moment, and Qin Fei didn't dare to let go of Kobe. Kobe's touch in this quarter was too hot.

This leads to a particularly passive defense, and the inside line can only be handed over to the inside line.

After two rounds, O'Neal still took the ball, turned around and made a direct hook hook, and the Lakers went ahead by 1 point.

Then Qin Fei attacked with the ball and made a mid-range jumper to return the favor.

This is Qin Fei's 46th personal score, and he also scored 11 points in a single quarter.

O'Neal scored a goal to overtake the Warriors, Qin Fei scored a goal and then overtook the Lakers. When both sides have top stars, they scored key goals and fairy goals.

Comparing whose heart is bigger in the end.

Tonight is destined to belong to No. 8. Except for the Warriors No. [-], the performance of the Lakers No. [-] has never fallen behind. In the case of multiple fouls, he stepped forward and attacked in adversity.

At 1 minute and 06 seconds, Kobe got rid of Qin Fei on the three-point line and made a half-throw shot when he was held back by Da Ben.

2+1!

Kobe fell to the floor and roared, his face full of ferocity.

He was so suppressed by Qin Fei that he couldn't score the key ball until tonight, when he finally broke out.

This year was a harvest year for Kobe. During the regular season, he averaged nearly 30 points per game, in addition to 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and entered the ranks of super giants.

But people have always questioned him, thinking that there is a gap between him and Qin Fei and Iverson.

Until now, he hit such a ball.
