Chapter 540 Basketball
One can recall that most beautiful summer.

Must have the hottest weather and favorite sport.

For many people, basketball means youth and the most unforgettable memories.

When I was in school, even at noon in June, when the sun was so hot that people couldn't open their eyes, there would still be a few particularly fanatical fans who practiced shooting again and again on the court.

Even with one ball per person, you can have fun.

At that time, I didn't understand why boys could work so hard to play basketball.

It wasn't until many years later that the boys grew up, walked out of the school, and entered the society, and then they understood why they could play on the court in the hot weather, even if their skin was tanned, even if their heads were wet from the hot tap.

Because this is youth, and external conditions have never been the reason for people to shrink back.

It is difficult to play basketball well. When they were teenagers, there were probably countless teenagers who fantasized about being able to enter the professional league.

It was later discovered that even dominating the community court is quite difficult.

Because there are old hookers wearing vests everywhere, they have come out of the era of iron and blood defense, they have countless small moves, and they are very difficult to play.

Fans in each period, because of the different development of basketball in that era, their own technical movements are also very different.

For example, the court old men who love hooks, wearing sweat vests and shorts, sometimes they are very accurate.

The memories of post-8090s probably stay in the 21st century.

Fans who started watching football from this period usually learned the way some balloon stars played during this period.

The more popular ones these days are Iverson's flower-piercing butterfly step and Qin Fei's dry jumper.

The subtle influence made them also like Qin Fei's playing style.

If you want anything fancy, you can just make an emergency stop jumper or a dry pull shot.

In order to practice emergency stops and pull-up jump shots, many people are like fools. Even if there is only one person playing, they can continue to shoot and pick up the ball on the court at noon.

At that time, even a simple shot would make people feel comfortable and happy.

The meaning of basketball to boys probably started from the time point of "graduation", and some subtle changes have taken place.

From the moment they really stepped into the society, many people understood.

than hitting a perfect [-]-pointer.

It is more practical to have a fairly good job, beautifully complete the work tasks assigned by the leader, and 3 yuan on the bank card.

That is to say, when you throw garbage or mineral water bottles in the office, you can vaguely find a trace of the original.

Occasionally, I looked up and saw an NBA poster posted on the mall opposite.

It was a poster of Qin Fei.

Qin Fei, wearing a white jersey, stood with his hands on his hips. The flame pattern on both sides of the Warriors' No. [-] jersey seemed to be burning with the wind. He looked directly at passers-by with firm eyes.

People at work suddenly remembered that there was still an NBA Finals game today.
Year after year.

The teams in the finals are changing, and the people watching the finals are also changing.

But there will always be a year of finals in memory, which will make people feel impressive.

Everyone has a different impression of the Finals. Some people remember it as Black and White Shuangsha, some people remember it as the Bull Dynasty, and some people remember the current Qin Yong era.

The Warriors led by Qin Fei reached the finals again.

Unlike last time's bumps and bumps, this time's trip to the playoffs was simply smooth.

There is even a feeling of sweeping away thousands of troops.

Even today's 76ers are 0-2 behind the Warriors.

The two sides changed sides and fought again, returning to the home court of the 76ers.

The home arena of the 76ers is called the Wachovia Center. It has been put into use since Iverson entered the league, which seems to indicate that the 76ers have entered a new era.

Six years later, the Wachovia Center is still brand new.

It is like countless small towns scattered in California, quietly waiting for the arrival of fans.

In the evening, countless 76ers fans began security checks to enter the outer area of ​​the arena.

The photojournalists holding on to the long guns and short guns have seized the favorable terrain; the special police with live ammunition led the police dogs with ears pricked up, scanning the audience vigilantly; a rose-red helicopter roared and hovered in the dark blue sky of the setting sun; where the roof of the arena connected to the sky, two soldiers wearing red berets were walking back and forth holding guns.
The game time in the East is slightly earlier than in the West.

Of course, the local time is about the same.

This arrangement can make the time for watching the NBA in various places more appropriate.

Players from both sides began to enter the arena.

There were sharp boos in the packed arena.

These boos are all directed at the Warriors.

The 76ers are on the passive and weak side. If they want to help the home team win, the fans must give more help outside the court.

Booing is a good weapon, and sometimes it can even disturb the player's mentality.

This is a life-and-death battle for the 76ers. With two superstars in hand, the 76ers certainly don't want to lose another game.

Because if you fall behind 0 to 3, there will be no suspense in the series.

In this game, the 76ers played better than the previous two games.

Both Iverson and Duncan are the kind of superstars who can be relied on in adversity, and even the more adversity they face, the more they can burst out their true potential.

The other players of the 76ers team also worked hard and made gains on the court.

In this G3 battle, the Warriors finally lost the game 89 to 96.

The 76ers finally regained a victory and ended the Warriors' 8-game winning streak in the playoffs.

The Warriors have been winning since the Mavericks' last two games.

In this year's playoffs, the Warriors had a particularly good record. From playing against the Sonics to beating the Mavericks, to beating the Lakers, and now fighting against the 76ers, the Warriors only lost 2 games in total.

They were an away loss to the Mavericks in the second round, and an away loss to the 76ers in the finals.

In other words, so far, the Warriors in the 01-02 season have a record of 13 wins and 2 losses in the playoffs.

This is a very terrifying record.

Throughout the long history of the NBA, if you only count the number of losses, so far, there is only one team with a better single-season playoff record than the Warriors.

That was the 82ers in the 83-76 season.

That's right, it's still the 76ers.

The 76ers team was 12 wins and 1 loss. For the first time in history, a team won the championship with only one loss.

The Warriors can't hit the record of losing only 1 game to win the championship, but they can hit the record of winning only 2 games.

In the history of the NBA, teams that lost only 2 games in the playoffs and won the championship are also rare.

The more famous ones are the Pistons in the 88-89 season and the Bulls in the 90-91 season.

This is something that happened relatively recently.

Talking about records after losing is not a good thing.

The defeat in G3 in the finals sounded the alarm for the Warriors.

At the home court of the 76ers, the combat power of the 76ers has improved, unlike the Warriors' home court, they will continue to be suppressed by the Warriors on the court.

"We must win. If we lose another game and the two teams return to the same starting line, the Warriors will be at a disadvantage."

Although it is a 7-game 4-win system, in fact, winning or losing a game has completely formed a different situation.

Players are a mindset when the Sixers are 76-0.

When the 76ers were 1-2, the players had a completely different mentality.

76ers fans are also full of confidence.

Before the start of the G4 game, facing the interviews of the majority of reporters before the game, he expressed his support for the team.

"We are the best team, we have Allen Iverson and Tim Duncan, we have the strength to beat the Warriors."

"The Warriors have always been smooth sailing. This game will be the turning point of the entire series!"

The fans are also right. From their standpoint, it is very reasonable to have such an idea.

They even hope that all the Warriors will be suspended, and it would be best to award the championship directly to the 76ers.

The Warriors remain in Philadelphia.

During the finals, head coach Carlisle implemented a relatively strict management system.

In addition to preparing for training, Warriors players cannot leave the team or the hotel where they are staying at will.

So although Qin Fei had a lot of supporters who came to Philadelphia to cheer for him, he couldn't entertain them.

He went all out to prepare for the finals.

In theory, the preparation training should be completely closed, but in the actual process, a fixed period of time will be given to media reporters.

Then in the training arena, the players saw a large number of media reporters rushing into the arena.

They swept their gazes and immediately focused on Qin Fei.

But according to the regulations, they can only take photos or videos and cannot disturb the players' training.

So a group of people started to work outside the stadium under the guidance of the staff. The scene was rather strange, and there was a strange harmony.

Qin Fei and the others were all wearing training uniforms.

The so-called training uniform means that a training T-shirt will be put on in addition to the competition uniform.

The players have just finished their regular training and are now entering the free training phase.

Qin Fei found his trainer and practiced heads-up.

One-on-one is always an important tactic in the NBA arena.

Especially in the fierce playoffs, many times it is impossible to play tactics, so you have to rely on the singles of the stars.

Among the Warriors, Qin Fei is the one who can master a lot of singles authority.

So Qin Fei will practice extra singles during training.

The trainer was a strong man named Hamm, who was not very tall, although he was physically strong.

The training method is based on the rule that Qin Fei only dribbles once.

In addition to this trainer who specializes in resisting people, there are also some "caddies" who specialize in picking up balls outside the court.

"Snapped!"

Qin Fei grabbed the basketball that flew into his hand.

The ball didn't even dribble, so he turned over and shot a jumper.

The trainer covered Qin Fei's eyes, but it was useless. Accompanied by the crisp sound of hitting the net, the basketball passed through his heart.

After scoring the goal, Qin Fei turned around again, "lazily" stuck on the trainer, trying to take a seat.

Looking at the "lazy" ground, the moment he catches the ball, his muscles tense up.

At that moment, Qin Fei dribbled the ball and made a fake turn towards the baseline, deceiving the trainer, and then turned over to the other side to make a jump shot.

This time there was no defense, it was even easier, and the basketball continued to hit.

During the third back hit, Qin Fei leaned back for a moment, and then did not make any fake moves. He turned around and shot a quick jump shot. Near the zero-degree angle of the baseline, the basketball hit the back edge and bounced to the other side.

Failed to hit consecutively.

Basically every goal can be scored.

This kind of training is mainly to train Qin Fei's back-up technique, how to better complete the finish when only dribbling the ball once.

On the field of competition, Qin Fei will not be given too many opportunities to dribble.

Unless Qin Fei starts to attack from the top of the arc.

And only one dribble is also the offensive method of excellent low-post players. The more dribbles, the more holes will be leaked, and the more likely the opponent will find an opportunity to complete a better defense.

Reduce dribbling and finish directly.

It is also a way to help players improve their finishing ability.

Although Qin Fei did not communicate with the media, they still took a lot of photos.

Including the one-on-one battle between Qin Fei and the trainer.

Then there are some tidbits, such as Qin Fei communicating with his teammates, the head coach and the assistant coach discussing tactics, and Da Ben meticulously practicing free throws there.
6 month 13 day.

Philadelphia, Wachovia Center.

The G4 game of the NBA Finals was held as scheduled.

Warriors VS 76ers, away game.

The beliefs of the two teams are very strong. Facing an important battle related to the trend of the series, the two teams will go all out and will not let go of any chance to win.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, the 76ers hit the first goal after the opening.

But unlike the previous games, this time, the Warriors quickly completed the start, and then Qin Fei and Billups made shots to help the Warriors overtake the score.

In the past, the Warriors had a slow start, but today is different. The players feel good.

The 76ers are also not to be outdone.

Duncan relied on O'Neal to complete the attack at the basket, and Coleman received a point from Iverson and hit a three-pointer.

Coleman is a player with three-point range, but for most of his career, the three-pointer has been in a state of ineffectiveness.

When the state is good, the season's three-point shooting percentage is close to 4%, and when the state is not good, it is only more than 2%.

Although he hit a three-pointer, the tactical effect was still very low.

Because the Warriors resolutely implemented the tactic of double-teaming Iverson, even if they were shot to death by a player like Coleman, it was recognized.

This is similar to when the 76ers defended Qin Fei.

As long as Qin Fei takes the ball in the middle distance, if he is not behind his back, the double-team will come up immediately.

So Qin Fei now uses more offensive methods, which are direct pull-ups outside the top of the arc or finishing after receiving the ball from a low position.

Both of these can effectively avoid being double-teamed.

It is also easier for him to complete the ball.

At the end of the first quarter, the away Warriors were 28 to 25, leading the 76ers by 3 points.
