Chapter 489
In late May, the decisive battle in the East was coming to an end.

After the 76ers and the Bucks drew 3-3, the two teams ushered in a tiebreaker.

This situation may have been expected by many people.

Who can have the last laugh and reach the finals in 01?
Iverson or Ray Allen?
It's all possible.

Judging from the results of the previous games of the two teams, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Now it depends on who can better grasp the key ball or have a better competitive state.

The entire Philadelphia and the entire Milwaukee were completely immersed in this round of anxious competition, cheering for their home team and favorite stars.

The same goes for the West.

The Warriors won the G5 game, took the lead, and took the lead in getting the match point.

The team that wins the match point first will actually be better mentally built.

But in the G6 game at Staples, the Warriors failed to win.

After experiencing the black 1 minute of the last game, the Lakers learned from the pain and raised righteous protests to the league. Many people complained for the Lakers.

So in the sixth game, like finding a balance, the Lakers easily got a lot of whistles.

The Warriors did not encounter a foul crisis again, but they always played passively in the game.

In the end, the game was lost 91 to 103.

O'Neal scored a game-high 35 points, also grabbed 19 rebounds and sent 5 blocked shots, demonstrating the destructive power of a monster.

Qin Fei scored the highest 27 points of the Warriors. In addition, he also grabbed 5 rebounds, sent 7 assists, contributed 4 steals and 1 block, still filling all his data columns.

But it was a good performance for other superstars, but for Qin Fei, it seems so ordinary now.

Fans have a natural illusion that Qin Fei should score at least 40 points in a game to perform normally.

The two teams will also usher in a tiebreaker.

Warriors tickets are selling like crazy.

The tiebreaker became a game that everyone wanted to watch, triggering a wave of commercial realization. More fans without tickets gathered around the arena on the day of the tiebreaker to support the team with practical actions.

……

The seventh game between the 76ers and the Bucks was not anxious.

This is very unexpected, because everyone thinks that the actual combat strength of the two teams is relatively similar, and they are both in good condition now.

On this day of the game.

The Wachovia Center in Philadelphia was packed with 76ers fans everywhere.

People stand together to witness this game.

At the beginning of the game, the Bucks entered the state first.

Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson hit three-pointers one after another to help the Bucks take the lead.

But after half a quarter, the 76ers suddenly broke out. Duncan scored consecutively inside, and at the same time received a pass from Iverson from the mid-range and hit the rebound and shot. The 76ers instantly overtook the score.

The 76ers' much-maligned bench player also played well in this game.

At halftime, the 76ers at home led the Bucks by 51 points 45 to 6.

This side of the game is still quite anxious.

However, in the third quarter, Iverson teamed up with Duncan to hit a 31-17 shock wave in a single quarter. The 76ers led by more than ten points and entered the fourth quarter.

Since then, although the Bucks have not given up, they have not been able to form an effective shock wave because the hole they dug is too large.

In the end, the Bucks lost the game in this tie-break life-and-death battle.

91 to 106, the Bucks lost by 15 points, which is considered a fiasco.

Such a disastrous defeat made it difficult for Bucks fans to accept for a while, and many people were full of tears and choked up.

Ray Allen just stood there blankly. In the last game, his performance was the best for the Bucks, scoring 25 points and 5 assists.

Iverson immediately ran over and hugged Ray Allen.

"We have known each other for many years. It has been a long time since we played a series together like this. This may be the most memorable round of series since I entered the league."

Iverson said very affectionately that he is essentially a very emotional person.

Because of this, I will miss some people and things back then.

Ray Allen was a strong opponent Iverson encountered in college. As a student who came out of the Big East, Iverson always thought that Ray Allen was very good.

Ray Allen is actually quite sad. He is also entering the league for the fifth season this year, and he has a strong desire for the championship.

It was not easy for the Bucks to come through this season. The lineup of the three musketeers was not perfect. It was not until Mutombo was picked up that they made up for their shortcomings.

But Mutombo is not young, next year, will he still have such defensive skills?
When Ray Allen thought of going so far, he felt a little confused, and he didn't seem very interested when he heard Iverson's relief.

But he still blessed Iverson very politely.

"Come on, Allen, I will watch this year's finals seriously."

"Maybe you will meet Qin Fei? Then you will be in a civil war in Georgetown, and it will be a very good result!"

Georgetown Civil War?
Iverson did not speak, and the raging fighting spirit in his eyes seemed to have explained everything.

Before the G7 battle between the Warriors and the Lakers, people had already thought of a possible finals matchup.

Is Iverson vs. Kobe, or Iverson vs. Qin Fei?

No matter what kind of duel it is, it seems to be very interesting.

The players born in the 96 draft have completely become the protagonists of the league. All the highlights of this year's playoffs are on the players around this draft.

The media will also think of this layer, including the Georgetown Civil War.

Since it is a possible civil war in Georgetown, many media made a special trip to Washington, DC to interview John Thompson, who is no longer the head coach of Georgetown University.

John Thompson stepped down from his position at Georgetown University in 99.

After resigning, Thompson is equivalent to entering retirement life, traveling and doing some things he likes to do.

Thompson played a vital role in the growth of both Iverson and Qin Fei. He also personally witnessed the growth of the two from a childish teenager to a qualified professional player.

The sudden interviews by a large number of media caught Thompson off guard.

But after all, he was the head coach, and his speech was impeccable. When asked about Iverson and Qin Fei, he praised both of them.

"Iverson is the most competitive player I have ever coached. He is really a genius. You can't imagine what kind of energy he can contribute on the court. He always breaks other people's conventional wisdom time and time again. I always knew he would succeed because he is Iverson. He is a natural basketball fighter."

"Qin Fei's growth trajectory is something I couldn't predict, and his talent is amazing. When he first joined the Hoyas, Qin Fei was just a very amateur golfer, and he didn't even know how to position himself correctly on the court. But after two months of special training, Qin Fei has successfully become a substitute for the first team, and his excellent court sense and defensive skills have impressed me. I have witnessed all his progress."

"However, I still underestimated him, his speed of improvement, his upper limit of talent, and his ambition. He gradually became the starter of the team, and he was not satisfied with his experience in the NCAA and scored in the NBA."

"At the beginning, I didn't really agree with Iverson's early entry into the NBA, let alone Qin Fei's entry into the NBA after only one season. Even now, I also think the same way. I think a mature NCAA player must play in the NCAA for at least three years. Many of my students, such as Ewing and Mourning, have finished college."

"I think NCAA players who have finished college are more mature in mind, and it is easier to achieve higher achievements in the NBA. Although Qin Fei broke my concept, I still think he is a case, not universal."

Although John Thompson evaluated both of them, he mainly evaluated Qin Fei.

Because Qin Fei really surprised him, he never expected that Qin Fei would achieve such a remarkable achievement in the NBA, and now he is even more comparable to many stars, and Jianfeng pointed directly at the current No.1 throne in the NBA.

It is even bolder to say that Qin Fei, who just won the MVP, is now No.1 in the NBA.

After interviewing John Thompson, many media are still not satisfied.

They went to interview Iverson and asked who Iverson would prefer to play against.

The pitfall of this question is too obvious. Iverson directly refused to answer, and said that the 76ers focus on themselves and are ready for the finals.

The last day of May.

In the Western Conference semifinals, the Warriors played against the Lakers.

The two teams ushered in the much-anticipated seventh game.

The game was played at the Oakland Coliseum, and all the fans in the Bay Area were able to come.

The two sides geared up before the game, conducted a series of closed training, did not even participate in the regular interviews, and went all out to deal with this game.

There is no change in the lineup of the two sides, and the kick-off is for the Warriors to win.

Big Ben and O'Neal have no advantage in the jump ball. So far, O'Neal has basically won more jump balls.

This kick-off was won, and it was still at home. The fans immediately cheered and cheered as if they had received a signal, creating a strong game atmosphere for the home team.

The Warriors succeeded in the first wave of offense. Qin Fei broke through to the bottom line and scored the first goal for Artest on the weak side.

Artest's overall offensive efficiency in the series was very low, and his shooting percentage was less than [-]%, which was criticized by many Warriors fans.

But in fact, Artest cannot be blamed. On the one hand, it is because of the high defensive intensity in this round of the series. On the other hand, it is also because most of his offenses now are catching and shooting from the outside. Qin Fei and O'Neal are the two who hit the basket. If he does not rush to the basket, his overall shooting percentage is [-]%.

The reason why many players have a high shooting percentage is not because he shoots accurately, but because he is a player who hits the basket.

If a player mainly shoots from the outside with the ball, and his shooting percentage exceeds [-]%, then he is really accurate.

Artest's shooting made the Lakers never expect it.

However, they didn't think too much about it. After all, a game should allow role players to score points.

The logic is clear, just like some players.

No matter how low the hit rate is, there is still a hit rate, so it is not impossible to score a single goal.

The game form of the two teams was very anxious, leading alternately from the beginning.

After the first quarter, the Warriors at home led the Lakers by 23 point 22-1.

Qin Fei played a full game in the first quarter, scoring 7 points and 3 assists, which was quite satisfactory.

In the last game, Qin Fei was not bothered by fouls. He applied to the coach to stay on the court and prepare to play the whole game.

The fans were naturally very moved after watching it. How tiring it must be to play such a fierce game.

But there is no way, the Warriors with Qin Fei and the Warriors without Qin Fei are two completely different teams.

Qin Fei didn't go down, and neither did Kobe.

But there are also hidden dangers. The biggest hidden danger is that as the matchup lasts for a long time, Kobe gets more fouls. Halfway through the second quarter, Kobe got his second foul.

Phil Jackson had no choice but to replace Kobe and take a break.

Qin Fei played the entire second quarter, scoring 11 points in a single quarter, helping the Warriors lead the Lakers by 49 points 46-3.

After halftime, Qin Fei didn't rest for a minute.

Physical energy consumption is much greater than usual.

But his current physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary players. With the addition of the "perpetual motion machine" badge, his physical fitness is not a big problem.

The only thing to care about is how much stamina you have until the end.

So during the intermission, head coach Carlisle also approached Qin Fei specifically to remind him to conserve his energy.

Although Carlisle didn't say it clearly, the implication was that he felt that the game might not be decided until the last moment.

This is also the normal state of the game between the two teams. Basically, the winner is determined at the end of the game. There are very few direct collapses like the G6 game.

After the halftime break, the two sides walked out of the player channel.

The host and guests who presided over the game talked about the outcome of the two sides and a poll just done not long ago.

This survey comes from an authoritative organization, which counts the support rates of two teams in North America.

The ratio of supporting the Warriors to win and the Lakers to win is about the same, and there are even slightly more people who support the Lakers. If you leave out the Chinese fans who support the Warriors, the ratio is actually quite unbalanced.

"The strengths of the two teams are similar, and the Lakers are fighting for revenge."

"Shaquille O'Neal desperately needs this game to wash away the shame he hasn't won a championship for so many years and prove that he is a player who can win it."

"Shaquille O'Neal won't be crownless, right?"

There are too many uncrowned kings in the league, and many of Jordan's contemporaries have no championships.

O'Neal is amazing, spanning two eras.

Ordinarily, with his strength, he should have been able to win the championship long ago.

However, since being swept by the Rockets in the finals, it seems that they have been in a slump, and they have a halo of avoiding the championship, and they have not won the championship until now.

This situation is even worse than when Jordan was blocked from the finals by the Celtics, Pistons and other teams in the early stages of his career.

After several people finished talking about this topic, the camera turned.

It happened to be given to the Lakers generals who walked on the court.

O'Neill led the way, and the five tigers lined up. Opposite him was Qin Fei, who was facing each other immediately.

Qin Fei and the other five were not weak, each of them was a muscular macho, very sturdy.

Although the two sides didn't speak, maybe everyone could feel it.

At the moment of the final decisive battle, everyone is already ready for a wave of desperation.

Win to the final, lose to go home.

It's that simple.
