Chapter 538 Suppression
The Warriors may be the most offensive team in the league.

In the past few years, the Warriors have redefined the definition of "defensive counterattack" and "fast break" in basketball.

Through these more representative tactics, a unique combat style has been formed.

Once started by the Warriors, it will be difficult for opponents to compete with them.

Defensive battles are no exception.

So Larry Brown is also well aware of this. During the timeout, he focused on talking to the players about the current predicament.

"We have to reduce mistakes."

"We have to slow down the speed of attack and defense, control the rhythm, and bring the game into the rhythm we like."

"Pay attention to defense, move the ball more, and trust your teammates!"

Larry Brown has a lot of volume, and he is a very conscientious coach.

The players of the 76ers were all sitting there, the cameraman's lens swept over, the players were sweating profusely, and then they took a look at each other, rekindling their fighting spirit.

The game cannot collapse all at once, nor can it end in an instant.

The real NBA game is a process of ups and downs.

In this pulling process, there are countless possibilities.

Good players adapt to the process and save their adjusted best for last.

After the timeout, players from both sides returned to the field.

This time, the adjusted 76ers played very patiently.

It also started the frequent conduction of outside lines.

Iverson was the last player to receive the ball. He moved sideways, facing Qin Fei's defense, and made a large backward jumper.

Iverson's reclining range is very large, but many times, people will ignore his reclining skills.

Qin Fei's defense was in place. If he hadn't been blocked by the screen player, the ball might have blocked Iverson.

But at this time, it can only be defensive.

"Shh!"

Iverson's mid-range shot went into the net.

The 76ers finished scoring and the situation on the field stabilized.

The players' hearts were also calmed down a lot.

As a result, the Warriors completed their attack again after less than a round of relaxation.

This time it came from Qin Fei's attack with the ball.

Qin Fei rushed into the penalty area and gave it to Clifford Robinson, who made a layup and scored.

The Warriors have taken the initiative on the court since Qin Fei came on the court in this quarter.

The lead remained at around 3 points.

In the second half of the game, the two sides entered into a defensive battle.

Qin Fei's shooting touch has also declined, and he missed several times.

He continued to contribute his energy on the defensive end. In addition to blocking Iverson, he also completed a steal against Tim Duncan.

It is also fair.

At the end of the second quarter, the Warriors led the 42ers by 40 points 76 to 2.

The first game of the finals entered the halftime break.

"What a suffocating game!"

Only then did the fans who watched the scene feel relieved.

The first game of the finals was more intense than they had imagined.

"The 76ers team is so strong. After all, it is a team with two superstars. One offense and one defense, it just perfectly established the team system."

Warriors fans rarely see Sixers games.

After all, the 76ers are a thorough Eastern team, and coming to Oakland for a season is just to play one game.

The Warriors and 76ers have never played against each other in the playoffs.

Fans watched the players walk into the deep and dark player tunnel.

Many people are afraid to go to the bathroom, for fear that they will miss the exciting game that started in the second half because of going to the bathroom.

They sat down and chatted.

From time to time, he looked towards the player channel.

More than ten minutes later, players from the two teams came out of the player tunnel.

The second half of the game is about to begin.

Many people began to make all-round comparisons between the 76ers and the Warriors.

Both teams are relatively mature teams, and both have reached the top of the league in the past few years.

After the previous game between the 76ers and the Bulls, many people commented that the reason why the Bulls team lost was because they had not been able to maintain sufficient physical fitness and technical stability during the long season.

They also need to learn how to calmly face the close-to-hand combat defense in the fierce playoffs, without stage fright, without recklessness, to ensure the implementation of tactics, and to create an environment for superstars to fully play.

The NBA is a superstar league, and the basketball game is played to the end.

In fact, it is to test the quality of superstars.

The 76ers don't want to fight the Warriors to the end.

Because this year's Qin Fei is too fierce.

Qin Fei's scoring efficiency at the last moment was so high that the Warriors were able to win most of the games that were still anxious at the last moment.

The Lakers lost on this point.

But if one more goal is scored at the last moment, the entire series may undergo earth-shaking changes.

So the series in this round of the finals is also the same.

The 76ers want to advance the time of the decisive battle, at least to establish a sufficient advantage before the start of the fourth quarter.

So at the beginning of the third quarter, it was the 76ers' very classic high pick-and-roll tactics.

This is their big move, the pick and roll of Iverson and Duncan.

The quality of Duncan's pick-and-roll screen was too good, and Qin Fei was blocked tightly.

However, Iverson's offensive dislocation was too fast, and whenever Qin Fei came around, he had already run to another area.

O'Neal didn't dare to go too far to help Qin Fei, because if he was too far away from Duncan, the latter would punish him for his defense in various ways.

Including the troublesome mid-range shot.

Very stable
In the third quarter, the 76ers relied on this set of super pick-and-roll tactics to immediately tie and overtake the score.

Carlisle called a timeout just for that.

Before the game, he talked about this with the players.

"Will the ball-handler be caught in the screen or switch directly?"

This is the suggestion made by the assistant coach to Carlisle, and the decision is in Carlisle's hands.

"I think I can play the zone defense directly. Give the 76ers a chance to shoot three-pointers. The players on their team are not stable in three-pointers. Big Ben can come to help defend Duncan. After O'Neal and Qin Fei are separated, Coleman is replaced."

Qin Fei made his suggestion to Carlisle.

By reading the defense, he perceives the current Warriors' defensive dilemma.

The Warriors have always been a team good at one-on-one defense, but the current situation is that Iverson or Duncan's offensive problems must be solved. Once the opponent forms a high-quality pick-and-roll, zone defense is the best way.

"can."

Carlisle agreed to Qin Fei's suggestion.

"Snow can be appropriately emptied and let him shoot three-pointers."

Qin Fei had been teammates with Eric Snow before, and he was very familiar with this player.

In his impression, Snow's three-pointers were poor.

Because his three-pointers are so bad, even if he practiced a good defense in the later stage, coach George Karl still put him on the bench, and sometimes he couldn't even get into the rotation.

Snow is indeed a terrible three-point shooter, with a career three-point shooting percentage of only 20.00%.

This can even be described as disaster.

So it is absolutely OK to short Snow to shoot three-pointers.

Carlisle followed suit, and then drew some zone defense tactics on the tactical board.

Including the very classic two-three defense and three-two defense.

What zone defense to use depends on where the 76ers initiate the pick-and-roll attack.

After the timeout, the guest commentators who broadcast the game immediately noticed the difference.

"The Warriors are starting to defend the zone!"

Zone defense is a legalized tactic this season.

Many teams are still relatively unfamiliar, and many fans don't even know what zone defense is.

In the eyes of the fans, there seems to be no other difference, and no changes in some details can be seen.

After seeing Iverson take the pick-and-roll cover, this time the Warriors chose to double-team Iverson directly and force Iverson to play.

And when Duncan caught the ball in the middle, the Warriors had other players in place to defend.

Duncan reacted quickly, and gave Coleman a high and low position.

Coleman got up, just about to make a dunk like "Old Man Talking About Teenage Madness".

Jermaine O'Neal, who directly returned to the defense, slapped the basketball and slapped it firmly.

"This"

The scattered 76ers fans covered their heads, speechless.

The Warriors fans were completely in a mania, and the sharp cheers were deafening.

Off the court, Larry Brown was very surprised.

Carlisle is so quick
He knew that Carlisle was the newly promoted top coach in the league, but this defense has never been what Carlisle is good at. He didn't expect Carlisle to be so courageous and quickly resorted to zone defense.

His defensive training ability seems to be underestimated.
Larry Brown complained secretly, feeling that it was too difficult to play the Warriors.

The two sides entered into a defensive battle again.

The Warriors' zone defense made it impossible for the 76ers to score so easily.

On the other hand, the 76ers also began to double-team Qin Fei frantically.

Qin Fei played for his teammates, hoping to open up the situation through the performance of other players and punish the 76ers for their overly aggressive double-teaming tactics.

But the effect is not good.

Maybe it's the first finals, and everyone's hands are not going well.

Or he was confused by the iron-blooded defense of the 76ers and disrupted his own rhythm. Like Artest, he didn't even grasp the open three-pointer.

Carlisle frowned.

Feeling that Artest's performance was really mediocre, he waved his hand and replaced James Posey.

Posey and Artest have similar functional positioning, but Posey's three-pointer is more stable than Artest.

Try it with Posey, maybe Posey's hand style can do it?

"clang!"

After playing, Posey shot out a three-pointer.

Tim Duncan stretches out his super-long wingspan and grabs the rebound.

This is his 10th rebound in this game. The third quarter has not been finished yet, and he has achieved a double-double.

The defensive battle kept the rhythm of the game intermittent.

The score gap has always been very small. At the end of the three quarters, the two teams drew again.

65 to 65 draw.

Iverson did not choose to rest in the fourth quarter.

This time, Carlisle did not let Qin Fei rest, and Qin Fei played the entire fourth quarter.

If it is such a slow-paced game, then if you play a full 48 minutes, the physical consumption will be lower than imagined.

At the beginning of the final quarter of the game, the Warriors players seemed to have a little bit of recovery.

First, Ginobili hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

Then Clifford Robinson made a long-range jumper.

These two scoring substitutes kicked off the Warriors' offensive frenzy.

After the 76ers replaced Duncan, the overall defense seemed to drop a notch immediately.

With Iverson alone, it is difficult to compete with the Warriors with a better lineup.

At 9 minutes and 47 seconds, Qin Fei received a pass from Ginobili, and directly completed a mid-range jumper, stopping the 76ers.

After Qin Fei completed this sports goal, his personal score reached 19 points.

Compared with the previous rounds of war, the score is relatively small.

But these scores are very critical, and it suddenly gave the 76ers a feeling of collapse.

At this time, the Warriors hold a 6-point lead on the field, which is the biggest lead since the opening.

Larry Brown replaced Duncan.

This is also a helpless move, and we can only sacrifice the rest time of the superstar.

The Warriors continued to compete with the 76ers with a half-starter and half-substitute lineup.

The quality of the Warriors' bench players is not weaker than that of the starters. Each of these bench players is very distinctive, like Clifford Robinson, that is the best sixth man in the past few years.

Can score and defend, and has played in the Finals with the Trail Blazers, so he has rich experience.

I didn't see much effect in the regular season, everyone paddled, and in the finals, they all popped up one by one.

Qin Fei had an excellent touch at the end.

After this mid-range shot was hit, they hit mid-range shots in the next game.

At 4 minutes and 33 seconds, a layup under the basket missed under the interference of Duncan.

But then Daben who rushed over grabbed the offensive rebound and directly returned it to Qin Fei who had withdrawn from the penalty area.

Qin Fei received the ball, and it was very simple to shoot from the spot and score the ball.

At this time, the 76ers had fallen behind by 7 points, and the situation became more and more unfavorable.

More than 2 minutes later, Iverson hit a life-saving 3-pointer to keep the game in suspense.

At 1 minute and 06 seconds, Duncan made a low turn and hit a hook, and the 76ers were only 2 points behind.

After the timeout, the Warriors deployed frontcourt offensive tactics.

Qin Fei received the ball and hit the basket, jumped up on Duncan's head, and pulled the backhand to finish the layup, helping the Warriors gain a 4-point lead again.

This pull rod is very similar to the pull rod movement that Qin Fei often used in the Georgetown University game at that time.

At that time, Qin Fei had very few weapons in his hands. What he was best at was rushing into the inside line, throwing himself into the sky like a sandbag, and then relying on his strong [Iron Waist] talent to complete all kinds of incredible pulls.

Later, after Qin Fei arrived in the Warriors, there were very few pull-bar offenses.

Unexpectedly, in the finals, he completed such an attack again.

It's like paying homage to yourself.

With this goal scored, the Warriors have an absolute advantage, and the game has almost been won.

After that, the 76ers gambled again and missed a three-pointer, and finally lost to the Warriors 86 to 90.

Qin Fei scored a game-high 29 points, among which he scored 12 points in the final quarter and ranked first in the game.

In addition to scoring, he also grabbed 7 rebounds and sent 13 assists, completed 3 blocks and 3 steals, and his performance in all aspects was impeccable.

It was late at night when the game ended.

Fans followed the crowd out of the arena at night.

The Warriors fans were overjoyed, some sang along the way, and some shouted Qin Fei's name.

On the subway out of the city, everyone was beaming, looking back on the exciting and wonderful three hours that had just passed.

At this moment, people, no matter where they are, stand together under the inspiration of basketball and enjoy the excitement and joy brought by this sport.
