Chapter 488

Against the boos of the audience, Kobe made an extra free throw.

If he wasn't still on the field, then Qin Fei would be sincerely happy for Kobe.

Although the starting point of the two is not high, Kobe has always encountered more criticism than Qin Fei, and the journey has been more difficult. Many people doubt whether he can become a superstar.

Then came the superb performance of this season, which shattered other people's remarks.

So Qin Fei couldn't laugh, because it was quite difficult for the warriors at the moment.

He has to score the next crucial goal.

The Lakers are also well aware of this, so when Qin Fei came back from the timeout and held the ball in the frontcourt, the entire Lakers team was ready to jump out to help defend and double-team Qin Fei.

Qin Fei is on the three-point line, and Kobe is in a one-on-one situation.

Everyone opened up the lineup and created a famous scene of bullfighting for the two No. [-]s.

Qin Fei definitely wanted to attack by himself, and the Lakers had expected this, so when Qin Fei held the ball, it was very obvious that he was double-teaming.

"The two have fought each other countless times, and Qin Fei has always had the upper hand."

The host is not optimistic that Kobe can guard Qin Fei, he thinks the Lakers should double-team.

Sure enough, Qin Fei started in the next second.

Qin Fei started too fast, he was still outside the three-point line, and was parallel to Kobe in the blink of an eye. Kobe gathered his center of gravity and adjusted his steps to catch up with Qin Fei.

Then there was the net that the Lakers had set up long ago, and at least two players moved closer to Qin Fei.

"In G3 before, Jermaine O'Neal made a key shot and helped the Warriors win the game. The Lakers are still determined to double-team Qin Fei in this game. What kind of mentality is this?"

Some people also think that the Lakers are obsessed. In order to defend Qin Fei at the critical moment, they have completely ignored other things.

Qin Fei wanted to attack by himself, but with no room to shoot, it was impossible to throw the ball around. He opened up a little distance, mobilized the Lakers' defense, and then passed the ball to Billups in the middle.

Billups can actually attack by himself, but he still chooses to shoot closer to the basket.

There is nothing wrong with this choice. At this time, it is necessary to hit the success rate, and the closer to the basket, the better.

It was Billups' throw at a critical moment.

The basketball passed Karl Malone's fingertips and hit the board.

"clang!"

It hit the front and bounced off.

Miss!

The faces of the Warriors fans who raised their hands at the scene changed one after another, and they had already sensed a huge crisis.

The strong men under the basket huddled together, and Big Ben and O'Neal stretched out their arms indiscriminately, using their best strength to block positions and compete for rebounds.

The two caught the basketball almost at the same time.

Big Ben is with both hands, O'Neal is with one hand.

In the blink of an eye, O'Neal made a vigorous move, exerting huge kinetic energy on the basketball.

The basketball flew out of Big Ben's fingers.

"Law."

There is no need to watch the replay of the ball, it must be the Warriors' out-of-bounds ball, Da Ben subconsciously took a step, and then flew out in parallel, trying to save the ball.

The basketball bounced off the floor, and Ben missed.

He rolled over and knocked over a group of cameramen on the baseline.

"Laker ball!"

The referee made a fair penalty, and the Warriors players were ashamed.

The situation is already very unfavorable for the Warriors.

To be on the safe side, the Lakers also called a timeout.

35.4 seconds, the Lakers' last wave of offense.

Kobe still controlled the ball. This time it was Kobe and Malone's pick-and-roll. O'Neal reached out to get a position inside.

Kobe still chose to attack by himself, and he really showed his confidence.

Qin Fei's long arm seriously interfered, and the basketball hit the frame and popped out.

Big Ben protected this backcourt rebound.

At this time, with the last 14.1 seconds left, the Warriors mastered the final attack.

But the Warriors did not pause, Daben protected the rebound and wanted to hand the ball to Qin Fei.

As a result, there were obviously many people on the Lakers who blocked Qin Fei from receiving the ball. Everyone surrounded him, ready to steal the ball at any time.

Qin Fei stretched out his hand to push Kobe away, and finally gained some space, and took the ball from Billups.

Then move on right away.

8 seconds, 7 second.
Qin Fei got the ball, and everyone was nervous.

Kobe threw himself in front of him again, and the two faced each other until one step outside the three-point line. Then Kobe didn't give way anymore, and pressed his body against Qin Fei, exerting defensive pressure on him.

5 seconds, 4 second.
Qin Fei turned around suddenly, pulled his right hand horizontally, and rotated his body 360 degrees clockwise to avoid the defensive space with Kobe.

Then he held the ball in his left hand and slanted his body forward to attack.

On the opposite side, Malone has come out to defend.

Qin Fei just stepped on the ground with his right foot, and took a big step with his left foot to the outside, widening the distance from everyone.

"I need to shoot a three-pointer!"

Everyone in the audience knew what Qin Fei was going to do.

In this one-thousandth of a second, Qin Fei actually completed such an excellent attack. This time, the rhythm of the step-back shot was almost perfect, and the shooting space was sufficient.

Especially when Qin Fei still has his own back, everyone feels that with Qin Fei's key ball ability, this ball is the best.

inevitable
"clang!"

The basketball knocked to the front and failed to make a shot.

Qin Fei didn't invest in it!

Everyone was stunned, and then heaved a deep sigh.

No, someone disagrees with this result.

When Kobe and Qin Fei both fell to the ground, the basketball hit the basket and bounced off, and the timer above it was already on, but the referee suddenly blew his whistle.

Not the whistle at the end of the game, but the whistle for a Lakers defensive foul.

"Lakers No. [-], shooting foul!"

"Three free throws!"

The referee's whistle made the scene boil instantly.

But the Lakers players who were happy for less than a second suddenly fell from heaven to hell.

What does this mean?
Why did the referee jump out to control the rhythm of the game again?

Why is there such a penalty at a critical moment?
The Lakers players were very dissatisfied, including Kobe, who had fallen to the ground, and was also very angry. Together with O'Neal Malone, the three of them seemed to want to fight against Lu Bu, and they killed the referee.

The referee was very cold, stretched out his hand and pushed, and insisted on his penalty.

The replay footage showed that Kobe did throw Qin Fei down, and was suspected of violating the cylinder and pointing his wrist.

If Shanggang is on the line, there is no problem with blowing the ball.

Of course, you don't have to blow it.

It all depends on what the referee thinks.

According to the usual practice, the last moment of the game will be left to the players to solve it themselves.

However, this is not the first time in this year's playoffs. The Warriors are like a walk-off team, gaining an advantage in whistle-blowing at critical moments many times.

Qin Fei was very happy, and had no awareness of "being taken care of" at all.

"It's all fouls based on ability, basic operations."

He high-fived his teammates one by one with a straight face, and then saw the Lakers Big Three besieging the referee, and immediately winked at the two King Kong.

The King Kongs looked blank, what's wrong?
This comprehension ability.
Qin Fei gave them a blank look, and then saw that Billups understood what he meant, and had already run to the referee, and began to "support the referee with a strong momentum".

Everything has become a foregone conclusion.

During the process of discussing and re-watching the video of the last ball, the three referees decided to give the Lakers 0.4 seconds of time.

Qin Fei walked to the free throw line.

The cheers of the audience subsided, and everyone watched his performance.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

The Lakers players turned pale.

"Shh!"

Qin Fei hit all three free throws very coldly.

The Warriors led 99 to 98 by 1 point.

At this time, the Lakers had 0.4 seconds of attack time and the chance of the last ball, and they requested a timeout.

Qin Fei walked off the field amidst high fives with his teammates, to welcome the worship of the players.

What can 0.4 seconds do?
Not to mention the fans, even the Lakers' own players feel that this game is hopeless. It may not even be possible to make a shot in 0.4 seconds, and at most they will complete an alley-oop.

As far as the Warriors' air interception ability is concerned, is this alley-oop still possible?

Carlisle was very cautious and deployed a lot of defensive tactics against the Lakers' lobs during the timeout.

This is the current consensus in the NBA. The 0.4-second time can only be completed by lobbing, and the player can only tap the basketball lightly. After all, when the player catches the basketball, it may have taken a lot of time. It is simply unscientific to use the standard shooting posture.

Listening to Carlisle's arrangement, Qin Fei's heart suddenly moved.

0.4 seconds?
He turned his head and glanced at the Lakers' bench, feeling that something was wrong.

The timeout ended, and the Lakers set up the final attack in the frontcourt.

Kobe O'Neal and others were on the court, and Fox, who was the least threatening, served from the outside. Kobe came out of the screen to catch the ball, and Qin Fei was responsible for defending Kobe.

O'Neal and Karl Malone's screen quality is very good, but Qin Fei has already been blocked.

Originally, according to the tactics, Qin Fei should continue to chase and defend Kobe, because Carlisle concluded that the Lakers would not pass to Kobe, but chose to empty the basket, so defending the inside is more important than defending the outside.

But Qin Fei didn't follow out, but yelled "change defense".

Warriors players have very high tactical literacy. Seeing that Qin Fei was blocked, Artest helped Qin Fei defend Kobe.

After all, it is now 5 defenses and 4 defenses, and the number of personnel is still very sufficient.

The sideline ball is a problem in the world. Fox searched around but couldn't find a point where he could serve.

Then he suddenly saw Fisher push Billups away and come around to open up.

The 5-second time for serving the ball is almost up, and the server can only act like a living horse doctor and pass the ball out.

Lakers point guard Fisher is a player in the same class as Qin Fei.

At the beginning, the Lakers selected Fisher with the 24th overall pick in the first round.

But according to West's recollection, Fisher was not the Lakers' first choice, Qin Fei was the Lakers' first choice. If Qin Fei fell to the 24th overall pick, the Lakers would choose Qin Fei.

At that time, Qin Fei's draft market was very average, and the bottom ten of the first round were all possible.

So Qin Fei also talked about this topic later, and also talked about what it would be like to be a teammate with Kobe O'Neal.

Qin Fei's emotional intelligence is very high. He said with a smile: "If I am really selected by the Lakers with the 24th overall pick, then the jersey I am wearing now should be the Lakers' No. 24."

Everyone thought he was joking, but in fact he was.

Later, the Lakers chose Fisher, which was also very good.

Over the years, Fisher has gradually become a very good No. [-] player step by step, with characteristics on both ends of the offense and defense.

But he was also just a Lakers starter who never played a bigger role.

Until this moment, the basketball flew towards him.

At that moment, Fisher was in a very peaceful state of mind. He didn't even think about what it would be like if he made a shot or not. He just felt that he should catch the ball at this moment and take on this responsibility.

However, just when he was about to get the basketball.

A pair of big hands suddenly appeared.

His fingertips touched the basketball, the trajectory of the basketball changed and it bounced out.

"Beep-"

The red light comes on and the game is over.

Fisher opened his mouth and was speechless.

"Throwing the ball from the sideline, it's a worldwide problem."

The hosts, who were still waiting for the miracle to appear, sighed in unison, and it was too late to shout out the "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" they were ready for.

"But having said that, even if Derek Fisher could receive the ball, he probably wouldn't have had time to make it. It's not too unjust for the Lakers to lose the ball in this wave. The main reason is the bad defensive foul in front."

People look back and quickly forget this 0.4-second serve.

Qin Fei, who stole the ball, didn't care too much, and he smiled and gave his teammates high-fives to celebrate.

People began to talk about Kobe's controversial three-point foul. Some people said that the foul should be called, and some people said that the foul should not be called.

The Warriors beat the Lakers 99 to 98 by 1 point and won the G5 game.

The Lakers players exited the field and walked into the player tunnel.

At the end of the game, the fans chanted "MVP".

Looking back at the game, people discovered that Qin Fei scored 49 points again, and he scored half of the team's points alone.

Half here refers to half of the Lakers.

Although the Warriors don't have the Big Three, the core of victory is clear. As long as Qin Fei is strong enough, he can also play the effect of the Big Three.

The Lakers fell into the same situation as last year. Could it be said that they will fall in front of the Warriors again?

If the Lakers lose to the Warriors again this year, there is really nothing to say. Maybe the Lakers will consider disbanding the Big Three directly.

At least for O'Neal, it will be another summer full of controversy.

His ability was never doubted, but his "dominance" may be disputed.

Judging from the current record, perhaps Qin Fei is more suitable for the term "dominance".

"Dominance can be divided into two aspects."

There are some basketball commentators who write in the article.

"The court dominance and record dominance, if only the court dominance, it is just a superficiality. A dominant player like Qin Fei is a superstar who truly possesses dominance."

This is a common practice, every year in the playoffs, when the situation of the two teams changes.

The evaluation of the main players of the two teams will also change.

Those who win are praised, and those who are acquainted are belittled.

The difference with Qin Fei is that even if he loses to the Lakers this year, it will not affect his evaluation and historical status, just like Jordan is now in the Wizards, people will only think of it.

Why does the 38-year-old man who came back for the second time still have such ability?

As for the record, the road ahead has already proved everything.
