Chapter 481 Is This Simple?

The game has its ups and downs.

At the beginning, the Lakers went downhill like tigers, and the offensive was fierce.

The Warriors players slowed down and tied the score, and the two teams entered a very anxious tug-of-war.

In the tug-of-war, the Lakers still had the advantage.

Including O'Neal's defense, the Warriors have no good way, they can only rely on the strong physique of young people to fight hard, and they are like a beast like Big Ben, who can barely fight against the monster.

Qin Fei and Kobe became the focus of this round of the series.

The two fought together, Kobe didn't care about his offense, and defended Qin Fei with all his strength.

This seems to be the tactic of the Lakers - they would rather lose outside stars than Qin Fei completely explode.

Kobe's defense is very good, which is completely different from the team's perimeter encountered in the previous two rounds.

Qin Fei can take advantage of Kobe, only "strength" and "accurate three-pointers", but the advantages are not particularly obvious.

When the other party is not very good, the reputation of the little prince of abusing food is not stable.

"Last year, Kobe was not so good, but last year, Qin Fei was already so strong."

"Last year, Qin Fei was also in good form, scoring at critical moments many times."

The host saw that Qin Fei only made 4 of 1 shots in the opening game, and felt that the Lakers' hopes of winning the game had greatly increased.

Rather than saying that O'Neal can dominate the game, it is more important to say that it is more important to limit Qin Fei's performance.

The Lakers led the Warriors by 24 points 19 to 5 in the first quarter.

The Lakers did not lead by many points, and when it came to the rotation time, the Warriors still had some advantages.

John Starks, Barkley and others who came off the bench scored one after another, and the Warriors, a great veteran, showed off his coquettishness on the key stage of the playoffs.

Barkley is actually the hardest. The Lakers did not expect that the "Flying Pig", who is about to retire, can still have such explosive power, scoring consecutive points on Robert Horry's head.

The Lakers, like the Mavericks, like to reduce the number of rotations.

Not long after the start of the second quarter, Phil Jackson immediately replaced Kobe when he saw that the lead was gone, which was even earlier than Qin Fei's time to play.

If Kobe played at this time, he would have to play at least 40 minutes in this game.

He came on the court to complete a mid-range jumper, then received Tyronn Lue's point, and hit the basket to complete the finish.

The Warriors called a timeout to contain Kobe.

Kobe scored 4 points in a row, and has scored 7 points tonight, equal to Qin Fei.

Qin Fei only scored 7 points in the first quarter.

This was taken when he felt uncomfortable. If the hand feels good, at least double digits.

During the timeout, Carlisle asked the Warriors' substitute players to keep an eye on Kobe. He looked at Qin Fei and followed Qin Fei's advice.

"Let me come, this kind of game cannot be neglected."

Qin Fei did not remain silent, and stood up from the bench.

Carlisle nodded, waved his hand, and replaced Qin Fei in advance.

As soon as Qin Fei appeared on the stage, Kobe immediately switched roles, and became obsessed with defending against Qin Fei again, refusing to give an inch.

At 7 minutes and 13 seconds of the second quarter, O'Neal made his debut.

Kobe bowed his head, panting heavily.

He didn't know how many times he had confronted Qin Fei. Every time the confrontation, the two of them went all out, which would consume a lot of his physical energy.

I didn't expect Qin Fei to be so powerful. When he first joined the alliance, Qin Fei was obviously very thin.

He raised his head, and Qin Fei dribbled the ball over again, facing his challenge.

Kobe fought and retreated until he got to the three-point line, then lifted the hem of his trousers, opened his arms, his defensive movements were very standard, his eyes were fierce and focused.

Qin Fei bent down, and the basketball was swung back and forth from his crotch.

"Clap~"

After flicking it into his hand, Qin Fei held the ball for a moment, and Kobe immediately rushed forward to guard against Qin Fei's pull-up jumper. At this distance, Kobe thought he had already entered Qin Fei's shooting range.

After Qin Fei dribbled the ball quickly, he hit the ground with his left hand, and he threw it obliquely.

The action speed is very fast, especially the first reaction when facing Kobe's sudden attack, it is very fast.

This is Qin Fei's characteristics and advantages. Although it is not obvious, it is reflected in all aspects of the game.

Kobe adjusted his center of gravity again, and followed Qin Fei who broke through.

"Pong!"

The two confronted each other very bluntly, and they all leaned back.

Qin Fei received the ball and slowed down, stepped out with his left foot as the axis, suddenly turned around, and pulled the ball horizontally with his right hand to break through to the left.

Kobe's center of gravity shifted at this time, and he chose to extend his other hand to delay Qin Fei's breakthrough.

It is easy to foul when you get started, but the referee has also adapted to the fierce confrontation between the two.

In the end, he didn't blow anything, just watched the two entangled.

Qin Fei dribbled the ball with his left hand and broke through the middle. It was Kobe who moved laterally, and no one was double-teaming him on the side. Qin Fei simply added a layer of speed and rushed towards the basket.

At this time, they met the big shark who was assisting in defense.

When the shark saw Qin Fei dashing forward, it covered the sky and the sun.

At the same time, he also pays great attention to Qin Fei's ball distribution, and has a defensive mechanism from every angle.

Qin Fei was stuck in a dead corner, and there was no room for the ball to be shot, so he would be blocked.

There seemed to be no escape.

The Warriors audience closed their eyes, unable to bear to see the next scene.

That is the next scene, Qin Fei is fascinated.

Qin Fei chose to turn his back in the flying layup.

Using back defense to avoid O'Neal's block, this action can be described as very classic, full of "Michael" taste.

O'Neal's arm is back on the field, and Qin Fei's shot cannot be seen within the field of vision, and it is difficult to block the shot.

He was curious what Qin Fei was going to do?Can you still make a move?
can!
After a little confrontation with the 300-odd big fat man, Qin Fei turned around and landed, without looking at the basket, he directly hooked and threw it.

The basketball just avoided O'Neal's long arm, and Qin Fei's movements were slow and graceful.

With a hook on my back, I have nothing to do in the rain
"Pong!"

"Pong!"

"Shh!"

The basketball jumped twice and fell into the basket!
The fans were stunned, is this even okay?

It's not necessarily Michael who cheated, it could also be Qin Fei.

The first scene that people can imagine must be Jordan's unbearable layup. Although it has been many years since he saw it, it seems that everything is vivid and unforgettable.

This is the case with good game scenes, so even if Qin Fei imitated it, it was still recognized by many fans.

"You can imitate one if you have the ability."

For other people who are full of sour taste, Qin Fei's fans will not be polite and actively protect Qin Fei's rights and interests.

"This is all pediatrics. In the regular season, Qin Fei scored a new career high above the Lakers. He scored 60+ points. Qin Fei was the only one in the 96 class."

"The Lakers have really defended well, but Qin Fei really can't defend with a fairy ball like Qin Fei, and I can't blame the other Warriors players for that."

Many people were talking about it.

As the hottest perimeter player in the league, Qin Fei's every move will be magnified.

It's enough to say Qin Fei, but I have to point out that it was also a game against the Lakers, which once again uncovered the opponent's scars.

The most embarrassing and taboo thing in competitive sports is to mention other people's scars.

No one naturally wants to lose.

Why give up the opportunity to spray yourself on others.

Kobe snorted coldly. He didn't panic at all when he heard everyone's praise. He only wanted to win a championship now, and it had nothing to do with whether the other party got sprayed.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers attack.

Qin Fei scored a fairy ball, and the morale of the Warriors skyrocketed.

In this offense, the Lakers chose a very simple high pick-and-roll, just to see the tacit cooperation between OK.

O'Neal took the initiative to pick and roll, and the pick and roll effect was obvious.

Qin Fei was blocked, Da Ben helped Qin Fei delay Kobe, Kobe did not pass back to O'Neill, took the opportunity to get rid of Qin Fei, and directly challenged Da Ben.

He is also the finishing method of hitting the basket this time.

Big Ben took off early, blocking all his shooting space.

Kobe used his strong waist and abdomen to glide for a certain distance in the air, then collected the ball, put it in his waist and abdomen, turned back, and pulled the bar for a layup.

The body is twisted into twists in the air!
Daben couldn't defend the ball, and he didn't expect Kobe to find a little room to shoot under such a situation.

Creating space when there is no space is the ability of a super scorer.

When Qin Fei followed in, he saw the basketball brushing against the backboard, spinning and falling into the basket.

After pulling the bar, Kobe's center of gravity was unstable, he staggered to the ground, and fell to the floor.

"Quick attack!"

Qin Fei yelled, picked up the basketball, and made a fast serve to the baseline.

This is an effective routine for the Warriors, who don't even give the opponent time to celebrate.

Billups understood it, and he chugs forward when he gets the ball.

Qin Fei moved even faster, crossing the half court in the blink of an eye. When playing against the Lakers, the Warriors always focused more on the transition between offense and defense.

So at this moment, Kobe, who fell on the ground, got up by himself without waiting for his teammates to help him, and ran after Qin Fei.

"Snapped!"

Qin Fei received the ball, dribbled the ball in a very simple step, and changed his progress to the right to break through.

The Lakers' formation was more scattered, and Qin Fei's advance attracted a lot of defensive attention.

He passed with one hand, and the basketball moved to the other side in a wide range. Artest received his pass and went to the basket like a calf, causing a foul by Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu fouled quite hard, knowing that Artest was much taller than him, so he even dribbled the ball down.

Artest fell to the floor with a "boom", looking dangerous.

He grinned in pain, was very angry, and stood up looking like he was going to eat someone.

Fisher avoided his eyes with some guilt.

"The Warriors are a bunch of bandits. It's normal to make a foul. Who doesn't foul?"

The two teams entered into a fierce bayonet battle, and every ball must be contested.

Artest only made one of two free throws, which further fueled the opponent's fierce game.

The Warriors fouled hard, and O'Neal wished there were two or three people hanging on him, often sending him to the free throw line to test his free throw skills.

Every time the two sides attack and defend, they are exhausted, and the confrontation is quite fierce.

At halftime, the Lakers led the Warriors by only 45 points 43 to 2.

This is a defensive battle. During the regular season, both teams scored over [-] points, but the first game was such an intense defensive battle.

The coaches are talking about "triangle offense, Princeton, UCLA". A bunch of offensive systems, but when it comes to the playoffs, they still have to rely on defense to start.

Qin Fei didn't feel good in the first half. He only hit 12 goals from 3 shots, and missed all 4 three-pointers, setting a new record.

But the Lakers are not much better here, Kobe Bryant 10 for 2, O'Neal 11 for 4.
It seems to be a proposition that you can take the lead as long as you are a little more accurate, but in fact it is a proposition that you can take the lead as long as you defend harder and let the opponent score two fewer goals.

Not only did the fans not feel bored in such a defensive battle.

On the contrary, I feel that the field is always full of confrontation, and new score changes may appear at any time. The situation is very exciting.

A good game will never be one-sided.

The game entered the intermission stage.

The two sides returned to the locker room, began to analyze the situation, and formed troops.

Judging from the first half of the game, the Warriors played well in offensive and defensive transitions, but their offensive position was not as good as that of the Lakers, and their advantages and disadvantages were very obvious.

The Lakers' defensive strategy against Qin Fei is Kobe's single defense, which can ensure that other Warriors players do not explode.

Kobe did a very good job of this, and Qin Fei's shooting percentage was restricted to a new low.

Kobe has really improved
Qin Fei felt in his heart that last season, Kobe's defensive strength was not so strong. This season, both offensive and defensive ends have entered a new level.

"The key to playing the Lakers is to play our own characteristics."

"Offensive and defensive transition points, we are not enough."

"Last year, we were able to win against the Lakers, on the one hand because of Qin Fei's excellent performance at critical moments, and on the other hand because the team's overall defense was online, forcing the Lakers to make many unnecessary mistakes."

In the locker room, Carlisle analyzed to everyone why he won last year and why he fell behind this year.

"Actually last year, we often fell behind at halftime, and then in the second half, we were able to gain momentum."

"Everyone should have confidence in themselves. In terms of strength, we will not decrease but increase this season!"

Carlisle's words made sense, and after listening to them, everyone was indeed relieved a lot.

Many people here have experienced the baptism of the finals. In terms of court mediation ability, they are only stronger than the Lakers.

Next to Qin Fei, assistant coach Woodson was sitting there.

He frowned slightly, slightly worried.

"Ben fouled three times, which is a big hidden danger."

Another difference between the Warriors and the Lakers compared to last year is the change in defense against O'Neal. Last season, Bryan Grant mainly defended against O'Neal, and most of them mainly defended against O'Neal.

But this season, Grant went to the Heat. Although O'Neal has a good defense, he is not strong enough to fight against O'Neal.

So Big Ben became the player to defend against O'Neal, which is a new challenge for Big Ben.

It was difficult for Daben, who was fouled three times in the first half.

"There is no way, there is no one else. We must first ensure that our lineup is in order, and then consider how to deal with O'Neal's offense. If we don't do this, the offense will also collapse."

Qin Fei shook his head. It was a helpless move to defend O'Neill with Daben, but it had to be done.

He looked at Ben, who was tightening his shoelaces silently, and thought that this was probably the baptism of the best defensive player. Only after passing this test, would Ben be the real best defensive player.

"Need to speed up?"

Billups took the initiative to ask Qin Fei.

Playing against the Lakers last year, the acceleration in the second half had a very good effect.

Qin Fei nodded: "We can only play transitions. It's too difficult to attack the position. The Shark is actually a very strong frame protector in the penalty area, but he is always ignored because of his strong offense."

"With him on the inside, it's as difficult as ever to get closer and score in a defensive battle."

"And we have to play success rate, so it's better to play transition offense."

After listening to Qin Fei's words, Billups also gave some ideas.

Billups is more mature than last year, but he has not yet reached his true peak, and he is familiar with transition offenses, but he actually prefers positional offenses more than transition offenses.

On the other side, the Lakers locker room.

Bryant's defense in the first half was unanimously affirmed by Phil Jackson and the rest of the Lakers.

Phil Jackson praised: "Keep going, as long as Qin Fei can be restrained, we will definitely win this game."

"It's too hard to limit him to 20 points, but you know, you can set yourself a small goal."

"Like not letting him score 25 points."

Kobe didn't speak, and thought, is this simple?
