Chapter 164 Key Figures

NBA players are no strangers to blocking shots.

The block dunk is the most difficult block.

It's not over yet, Qin Fei, who picked up the basketball, has already crossed the halfway line.

Immediately, Timberwolves players came to stare at him, and he gave the ball to Payton.

Payton brought out the defensive players again, took advantage of the chaotic formation of the Timberwolves, and immediately made a breakthrough and went straight to the basket.

At this time, Qin Fei also cut in from the three-pointer. Payton made a fake pass, but actually went straight to the layup and made a hit!

nice shot!

He clapped his hands, roared loudly, and then gave Qin Fei a high five.

"It's a good defense, go ahead and send them fishing!"

Sanders made a gesture towards Marbury, Marbury understood, and took the initiative to reduce the speed of advancement, signaling the players to slow down a little.

It was necessary to take it easy, sprinting back and forth for a while, even Qin Fei was panting heavily.

"are not you tired?"

Mitchell really couldn't understand that children were so keen on running back and forth.

Qin Fei said triumphantly: "I'm a substitute, how can I be tired, I'll go down to rest when I'm tired, some people come to replace me."

This is definitely his true thought, and he has never worried about physical strength.

There is no problem at all in a game for 10 minutes.

Saunders could see it. As soon as Qin Fei came on the stage, he was full of youthful vitality. The Supersonics almost changed teams, and the overall offensive and defensive speed increased significantly.

It seems a bit inappropriate for the Timberwolves to attack and switch again, but he has no other choice, and there are too few cards in his hand.

In this way, the two teams have completely entered a tug-of-war. You will lead for a while, and I will lead for a while.

At the end of the first quarter, Jose suddenly scored in the bottom corner and Qin Fei was in his hand.

At that time, the 24-miao offensive time was approaching, and Qin Fei rose from the ground and made a direct three-pointer to help the Sonics lead by 2 points.

Sanders jumped angrily, why did he score a three-pointer!

Qin Fei is not a very good three-point shooter, but he still has a good percentage of three-pointers. This three-pointer is too heart-wrenching.

The Timberwolves missed the last attack, 26 to 28 behind the Supersonics by 2 points to end the first quarter.

I thought that the three-pointer in the first quarter was so accurate that I would definitely be able to take the lead. I didn't expect the situation to change suddenly in the second half and lose the lead again. It was too difficult.

The Timberwolves players were somewhat discouraged.

Sanders was also hit hard, the main force took the lead, but Qin Fei suddenly appeared on the opponent's bench, and he blocked the shot and made a three-pointer. He was also the one who made the three-pointer in the target center last time. Does he have a grudge against this arena?

Blessed land!

Qin Fei looked up. In the first quarter, his data was very comprehensive, with 3 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 block. He was only one steal away from collecting the top five data.

Comprehensiveness is inevitable. Although his defensive end is growing faster than the offensive end at this time, with the improvement of various attributes, he will definitely be a more comprehensive player in the future. However, everyone has not realized this yet. He is only regarded as a defensive champion or a breakthrough expert, without a third label.

Qin Fei played for a long time in the first quarter. In the second quarter, his old opponent Mitchell had already rested and he was still on the court.

At this time, he returned to the backcourt position.

"Press and hold the opponent's NO.18, and don't let him perform anymore! You won't even be able to handle a rookie, right?" Sanders gave an important instruction, and he was already very afraid of Qin Fei in his words. He could see that the other Supersonic players were in mediocre state in this game, but Qin Fei seemed to be particularly good, so he took good precautions and was determined not to die on the "little guy".

Before re-entering the stage, the playback camera also played the highlights of the first quarter, which ended with Qin Fei's last three-pointer.

Qin Fei's shooting posture is not the most standard textbook style. When shooting, his arms are relatively straight, his body is relatively tense, his legs are close together, and there is a slight backward lean.

This lean back is just to find a better balance, but it also brings greater difficulties to the defender.

The trainer once wanted to calibrate Qin Fei's shooting posture, but found that Qin Fei's shooting percentage was not particularly standard, but he could keep improving.

He didn't understand, it could only be attributed to Qin Fei's practiced a lot and good talent.

Players from both sides have returned to the field.

On the Timberwolves side, Garnett still stayed on the court, and the Supersonics kept Payton on the court, which is equivalent to keeping a core player for each.

In the anxious game, Qin Fei got two chances.

One was a mid-range shot and the other was a fast break layup, both of which were grasped.

Among them, the fast break layup still knocked out the space obtained after Garnett.

I have to say that the referees in this era are enlightened, you can hit your torso whatever you want, as long as you don't make a move, you basically don't brag.

Garnett was hit in the chest by Qin Fei and panicked.

George Karl never replaced Qin Fei, and it took half of the second quarter before Qin Fei was replaced by Jose.

It's strange to say that the Timberwolves came back to life with Qin Fei in this game, and Garnett hit consecutive mid-range shots.

This really has nothing to do with Qin Fei, Garnett just started to play in the second half of the second quarter.

Then there was Marbury who hit another three-pointer, and Gugliota who made a super-long three-pointer at the buzzer.

At halftime, the Timberwolves overtook the Sonics by 54 points 51 to 3.

The host discussed over there. Judging from the current situation, the Timberwolves have a chance to beat the Sonics, provided they block the Sonics' counterattack in the third quarter.

The Sonics are a strong team in the league, and the strong teams in the NBA understand the criticality of the third quarter.

The third quarter is a link between the past and the next. Whether the foundation for victory can be laid depends on the third quarter. If the score cannot be opened in the third quarter, it is likely to be an anxious hand-to-hand fight in the last minute of the game, and then it depends on who has the better ability to seize key opportunities.

"Whether the Timberwolves can continue their good three-point shooting in the first half is also very important. So far, their three-point shooting percentage is as high as 60.00%. In this way, they are only 3 points ahead of the Supersonics."

The strength gap between the two teams was particularly obvious after the cup host said so.

So the fans are also very clear,

just once

As expected, at the beginning of the third quarter, the five players of the Sonics went all out. Among them, Kemp frequently hit the inside with the ball.

Garnett was the main force defending Kemp and withstood it.

Kemp had experienced Garnett's defense in the second grade. This guy, like him, looked thin, his strength and confrontation were not bad at all, and he was tall and long, capable of stealing the ball and blocking shots.

Kemp's scoring efficiency was not high, and the Supersonics turned to the outside offense. Payton and Schramf carried the banner of offense.

In this game, Gugliotta's hands were really soft, and the offensive firepower was completely worthy of Payton and Schramf. After bearing the pressure in the third quarter, he punished the opponent with a precise mid-range shot.

George Karl saw that he couldn't do it, so he waved his hand and called Qin Fei up again.

Qin Fei calculated in his mind, according to this, he will play more than 10 minutes today, and the coach really gave him a chance.

He replaced Jim, as the third position.

Kemp switched to the fifth position, Schramf switched to the fourth position, and the Sonics became a short lineup.

The offensive and defensive speed of this lineup is astonishing. Sanders made a gesture from the side, signaling the players to stay focused and not be hit by offensive waves.

"In this game, Qin Fei rushed to score in double digits."

Bob is still very emotional. At the beginning of the summer league, he was worried that Qin Fei could not adapt to the rhythm of the NBA. Now that Qin Fei is playing better and better, even George Karl can't help but use Qin Fei more.

He suddenly remembered what General Manager Wally Walker had said to him a few days ago.

It's time for Kemp to renew his contract this summer. If the Supersonics can't win the championship, what should they do next?

Kemp didn't say anything, his agent has made it clear that he wants to get a big contract.

Among other things, Kemp is better than Juwan Howard, right?

Juwan Howard has a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars, so if he offered Kemp a price lower than this price, then Kemp would definitely not do it, but Seattle is not a big ball market after all. The boss Schultz is the founder of Starbucks. He bought the Supersonics a few years ago. It only cost [-] million US dollars. Now it costs [-] million to renew Kemp’s contract?

I'm afraid it's a bit difficult
