Chapter 176 Hope the Supersonics can win

In the 90s, the domestic broadcasting of the NBA was still in a state of groping forward.

But for basketball fans, it is not difficult to understand NBA games.

Through sports newspapers, magazines, etc., you can fully understand the dynamics of the NBA.

Many basketball fans know that there is a Chinese player who played in the NBA and even made it to the playoffs.

But because the information is not developed, the fans don't know what level the NBA is. They only know that it is an overseas league, and they don't know much about the league itself.

For example, the impression of Jordan.

Many fans know that Michael Jordan is good at playing and can make a lot of money. Seeing that Jordan averages 30 points per game and leads the scoring every year, he feels that the NBA's scoring leader should be at this level.

There are also books in the bookstore such as "The 50 Best Skills of NBA Stars", which discuss skills such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook, Penny's breakthrough and change of direction, and many fans will imitate the tricks of these favorite stars.

As for how difficult it is for Chinese players to play in the NBA, I don't seem to be too impressed.

"Shooting guard Qin Feifei dunks."

This is the memory of many post-80s fans about Qin Fei. They know that Qin Fei, just like his name, can jump very high, and many wonderful shots on the court seem to be flying in the sky.

Many domestic basketball commentators and reporters say that Qin Fei is very physically fit.

What I like to talk about is the physical fitness comparison between Hu Weidong and Qin Fei.

Older fans think that Hu Weidong may be a little stronger. After all, Hu Weidong dunks in front of Pippen, and he is a trapeze they have actually seen.

The young fans insisted that Qin Fei's physical fitness is stronger, because Kobe, who scored 24 points in front of Hu Weidong, is not as good as Hu Weidong in the NBA.

Old fans were surprised.

After the end of the G3 game, the pressure on the Sonics team was very high.

The Rockets have demonstrated the strength of the new Big Three and have maintained their home court advantage. The next game will continue to be held at the Rockets' home court. If the Supersonics still lose, then the Supersonics, who are 1 to 3 behind, basically bid farewell to the possibility of winning the series.

Even if the Rockets lose G4, they will only return to the same starting line with the Supersonics, and the two sides will start the most critical G5 battle.

The whole team has been training in closed mode for the past two days. Apart from training, they have not had any contact with the outside world.

George Karl must ensure the status of all members, so he rejected any possible interference.

After all, the Compaq Center is an old arena for many years, and the facilities are relatively dilapidated. When everyone is training, the air conditioner is not even turned on, which is very hot.

The trainer is helping Qin Fei practice three-pointers.

For a season, Qin Fei hadn't practiced three-point shooting much, but his three-point shooting percentage was increasing every month, until the last three-point shooting percentage just reached 3%.

"It feels good!"

After passing the ball twice, the trainer found that Qin Fei's three-pointer from the bottom corner was extremely accurate.

"Looks like I should be shooting more from the corner."

Before the zone defense was legalized, there was actually no special term for "corner shooter". In the Supersonic tactical system, there were many high-position pick-and-rolls, and the corners opened on both sides would correspondingly have many opportunities. Therefore, accurate three-point shooting from the corner is also a system requirement.

Qin Fei found that although his attributes had improved, which area to shoot accurately still depended on his own training. For the same three-pointer, different areas used the same attribute to shoot three-pointers with different hit rates.

"The Rockets' two backcourts have a relatively accurate three-point shooting rate, and the two of them shoot more from the front."

When the trainer talked about the three-point shooting percentage, he also talked about the opponent Rockets in this round.

The two guards, Qin Fei and the Rockets, have faced off many times. Some of the shooters rely on high-speed shots, and some are looking for a unique rhythm. They all have their own methods.

"With one three-pointer, our tactics against the Rockets will change a lot."

"The same is true for the opponent. As long as you make a three-pointer, the opponent will not dare to assist in the defense. The corner position can open up more space."

"I think you can try to find your own rhythm."

The trainer feels that Qin Fei's current three-point shooting is not stable. The main reason is that he hasn't found a suitable method for him. Of course, if Qin Fei can keep improving his shooting rate at this time, he can become an excellent shooter in the next year or two.

But this round of the series is too late, the coach will make a trade-off on both offense and defense.

The trainer even felt that once Qin Fei has the ability to shoot three-pointers, the team might promote him to the starting position.

He was taken aback.

Qin Fei starting?

Who will that replace?

Jose?

"Shh!"

The Nets fluttered, and my thoughts came back.

The trainer reflexively said: "Good shot, another one!"

After speaking, he passed the ball out.

Qin Fei was standing a small step inside the three-point line. When he caught the ball, he jumped with both feet and landed outside the three-point line. He made no adjustments and shot a jumper directly.

The shot point is very high, the feet are relatively close to the ground, and there is a little bit of backward leaning, and the high arc of the basketball is crossed.

Every time the wrist is shot, it will be pressed down to the bottom to ensure the consistency of muscle memory.

"Shh!"

Sports Channel reporter Xu Jicheng took a taxi to the Compaq Center.

At the entrance of the Compaq Center arena, Bai Miaomiao and the big cameraman were waiting for him. As a new reporter, Xu Jicheng can be regarded as a senior in this industry.

Since 1986, Xu Jicheng has been a sports reporter for the Sports Department of Xinhua News Agency. Later, he was hired as a basketball broadcast consultant by the Chaotingtai Sports Center and participated in the live coverage of the Olympic Games many times.

Xu Jicheng himself said that he has a unique love for basketball.

"Thank you, Miao Miao."

Although Bai Miaomiao is a newcomer, she has an advantage in language. The previous reports in Seattle were also very exciting, and she was highly praised in China.

"Mr. Xu, you have worked hard. It is not easy to come from such a long distance."

Bai Miaomiao greeted with a smile, and the camera brother on the other side hurriedly helped with the luggage.

"Hey, it's okay, but it's a bit hot here in Houston. If I knew it was so hot here, I would definitely wear less." Xu Jicheng took off his coat, and inside was a short-sleeved one.

The two of them did not go to the Compaq Center, but were taken by Bai Miaomiao to the side where they stayed, which was temporarily rented as an office.

"Mr. Xu is here to cover the playoffs, or is he doing a character column report?"

Bai Miaomiao knew that Xu Jicheng was not only a reporter for the sports channel, but also a consultant for many basketball magazines and newspapers. Many of the manuscripts he wrote would be published in these places.

"So, it's up to you to interview the playoffs. I'm here this time mainly to do a series of reports on a character."

Xu Jicheng briefly disclosed the information, and Bai Miaomiao was very envious after hearing it. The manuscripts she writes now are all short newsletters, with only a few hundred words, but a backbone reporter like Xu Jicheng can write some in-depth reports. After listening to such a series of reports, I will definitely be able to win some good manuscripts, and maybe I will win some national awards.

This is very useful. In addition to applying for a title, it is also a symbol of honor and status. I heard that the imperial court is recruiting more basketball guests, and maybe they can be special guests during NBA broadcasts in the future.

"Mr. Xu, Qin Fei is playing in the playoffs during this period, so he may not have time to interview."

Bai Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, but asked the question first.

Xu Jicheng said: "It's okay, I've already contacted Qin Fei's agent, Arntlem, in advance, and Tellem helped me make an appointment with Qin Fei. After the playoffs, I will interview him."

After a pause, he jokingly said: "During this time, I will be an observer of the playoffs, and I will be your assistant. You have to take care of me!"

Bai Miaomiao quickly waved her hand, "Don't dare, you better come, I can be your assistant."

Xu Jicheng didn't tangle with her on this issue, and asked about Qin Fei's recent situation.

As a front-line reporter, Bai Miaomiao actually knows best.

Bai Miaomiao said: "I interviewed an assistant coach of the Sonics in the morning. He pointed out that Qin Fei is currently stepping up his training, and because of his excellent performance in the third game, he may play a higher role in the Sonics in the next few games."

"A higher role?"

Xu Jicheng immediately grasped the key news point and asked: "What does the higher role mean? Did the assistant coach reveal it?"

Bai Miaomiao thought to herself that as expected of a veteran reporter, her ability to grasp problems was indeed strong, but she also thought of this, and asked more questions, but the assistant coach did not reveal it.

So she shook her head.

Xu Jicheng felt a little regretful, and said: "If this point can be singled out as a headline, it must be a very hot news, and it is also news that the fans pay attention to."

"Tonight, I'm going to write a live news story."

He spoke of a plan of his own.

"Live news?"

Bai Miaomiao wrote a lot of newsletters, but he had never written a small newsletter like live news, or even thought about it, so I wanted to hear what Teacher Xu Jicheng thought.

"It is to write from the reporter's first perspective. We can start writing from entering the arena. Domestic fans are very unfamiliar with the NBA. We sort out these things and write a report. It will definitely be very good news."

When the big cameraman heard it, why did it seem like it was all news from newspapers and periodicals, and he didn't have anything to do?

As a result, Xu Jicheng turned around and arranged him as well: "Old Zhang, you can make preparations early and do an on-site interview. If the Supersonics win today's game, Qin Fei will definitely accept the on-site interview. At that time, it will be inserted as a simultaneous voice in the [Sports News] column. It feels more on-site than the locker room interview."

"Okay, let's hope the Sonics win!"

The camera brother laughed, feeling that all work depends on whether the Supersonics can win tonight. If they lose, the quality of the news produced may be compromised.
