Chapter 546 The Dynasty Builder of the NBA Chronicle

For many fans in San Francisco, 2002 is the true first year of the NBA, which is the undisputed "Year of Qin Fei".

In this "Year of Qin Fei", the "birds and beasts" were unstoppable, especially on the night of June 2002, 6, this guy conquered the "AD" combination and the whole world by himself.

Yes, basketball is for 5 people, and "one's own strength" is not appropriate at any time, but this is the only way to show how crazy Qin Fei was that night.

Basketball scholars have given this night an exclusive name-End Night.

Qin Fei, who scored 61 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks, became a real superpower. So far, this season has been perfect for Qin Fei. In other words, this game is the condensation of his perfect season.

Therefore, people have concluded his achievements and fully recognized the statement that he is No.1 in the league.

This point was particularly prominent in this year's draft.

In the draft, no one had a template like Qin Fei, but many rookies expressed their respect for Qin Fei.

For example, Brandon Roy, a high school student selected by the Phoenix Suns with the ninth overall pick in the draft.

"Qin Fei is my life mentor. He guided me in the direction of basketball. Without his help, I might not be here at all."

Roy's words of gratitude made many people who didn't know the story between him and Qin Fei feel a little surprised.

Behind the surprise is the real feeling of Qin Fei's influence.

Not only his influence on the outside world, but his influence has even spread to the NBA rookies who have just entered the league. This is a new concept of increasing influence.

The NBA is a super-fast update and upgrade machine. Generations come and go, and the sun rises as usual.

During the offseason, Artest, one of the champions of the Warriors, chose to leave the Warriors.

In Artest's words, that is "the league is so big, he wants to see it."

He is also an ambitious person, knowing that if he stays with Qin Fei, he will not be able to reach new heights, so he chose to leave.

After Artest left, he chose to join the New York Knicks.

On the one hand, New York is his hometown. He once studied at St. John's University in New York for two years;

James Posey chose to stay with the team, and the team's promise was "the starting position for next season and the corresponding playing time."

As the general manager, Rowell, the first thing he thinks of is to maintain the winning team, at least there are no major changes.

So under this same concept, although there are many people coming and going in the Warriors, the basic lineup structure has not changed much. It is the time when the next offseason really needs to be hurt.

After the hustle and bustle of the summer trading market, time has entered the 02-03 season, Qin Fei's seventh season.

Maybe it was the year of the seven itch. The defending champion this year was the most difficult. In the opening game, they lost 95 to 106 to the rival 76ers who easily defeated last season. Iverson and Duncan jointly contributed 81 points under the light of revenge.

This season is not only a difficult season, but also a sad season.

Jordan is getting old, and the 41-year-old Stockton can't move anymore. Old John announced his retirement.Compared with the lonely and vicissitudes of Stockton, Karl Malone's story is more tortuous.

After the Lakers experienced two dishonorable and successful seasons, Malone chose to leave Los Angeles to fulfill the name of "OK", and the team he went to was actually the Miami Heat.

The Heat's strength has declined, but they are still very competitive in the East. Alonzo Mourning is said to be coming back soon.

Pat Riley's solicitation is only to try the possibility of the championship for the last time.

So far, all the historical transactions that Qin Fei can remember have been messed up. Among all the teams, there are always a few faces that he thinks should not appear in the team's lineup at this time.

As a result, Mourning did not return until the start of the new season. Because of his worsening condition, he subsequently missed the entire 2002-03 season and underwent a kidney transplant.

It's a sad and sentimental story that fits perfectly with the theme of this season.

There are a large number of veterans who will choose to end their careers after this season.

That season, the Warriors suffered from injuries. Except for Qin Fei and Da Ben, no one played the entire season, not even a player who played 72 games. Most of the players missed at least 15 to 30 games.

At the end of the season, the Warriors "only got" the fourth-place record in the Western Conference.

The first place in the West is the Dallas Mavericks, the second place is the Los Angeles Lakers, and the No.3 is the Sacramento Kings.

In the Eastern Conference, the top spot is the 61ers with 76 wins, followed by the Nets, followed by the Bulls, Celtics, Pacers and other teams.

So Qin Fei failed to complete the feat of three consecutive MVPs, and the league awarded the MVP to Allen Iverson.

Iverson won the first MVP of his career.

So far, he has completed the MVP Grand Slam, but not in a single season, but in multiple seasons.

In the playoffs, the Suns met the Warriors.

Marbury's three-pointer in the first game became a classic, but the Suns lost to the Warriors 2-4 and were out.

Rookie Brandon Roy became the main force to defend Qin Fei, fulfilling his dream of competing with his idol, although the result was not so friendly.

The Warriors survived the first round, but fell in the second round.

In the second round, the Warriors met the Mavericks.

How many seasons has the Mavericks been beaten by the Warriors, and they can't pass the Warriors almost every year.

For the third year in a row, the Mavericks finally won the series, knocking out the short-handed Warriors 4-2 and qualifying for promotion.

The Warriors' exit gave another team in the West a chance.

In the Western Conference semifinals, the OK combination eliminated the Kings, and in the Western Conference Finals, they eliminated the Mavericks 4-1 and reached the finals again.

In the finals, they faced the Nets who eliminated the 76ers in the Eastern Conference finals and reached the finals.

The Nets are stronger this year than last year, and the lineup is more mature. In the Eastern Conference finals, the second-year Richard Jefferson's outstanding performance at the small forward position became a surprise soldier of the Nets, playing the role of Qin Fei last year, breaking the 76ers' flank, and leading the team to defeat the 76ers, which had a better record than the Nets in the regular season.

It's just that the Nets seem to have used up all their skills, and they were a little weak in the finals.

In the end, the Nets, which reached the finals for the first time, lost 1 to 4 to the Los Angeles Lakers, regretting losing the championship.

The OK combination finally won the O'Brien Cup for the first time.

This year, O'Neal is 31 years old, and Kobe is 25 years old. Both of them are not so young. The moment they won the championship, they cried bitterly and felt that everything was worth it.

This is the Sharks' first championship, and it is also Kobe's first championship. The two cherish this championship very much.

The fans in Los Angeles are finally relieved. If they can't win the championship again, they really have to think about whether this combination will work.

Now it seems that it's okay, as long as you don't touch the Warriors.

The time has entered the summer of 03.

The summer of 03 was destined to be recorded in history.

The 2003 draft was unprecedentedly grand, with LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and other elites pouring into the NBA.

The summer trading market is also full of big fish. In addition to top superstars like Qin Fei and O'Neal who have become free agents, there are also first-line All-Star players like O'Neal and Yao Ming.

The general managers of 29 teams are crazy.

Especially the battle for Qin Fei seems to have become complicated and confusing since the end of the season.

Qin Fei did not express his intention to stay with the Warriors, but to stay in San Francisco.

Compared with the first time he left Seattle passively, this time Qin Fei has the right to freedom in his own hands, and he can make various considerations.

According to the "San Francisco Chronicle" report, fans in San Francisco expressed their support for Qin Fei's upcoming "choice".

"Why not? He has brought two championships to the city, he is a hero of the team, and the team will even retire Qin Fei's jersey."

"The score ranked third in team history (11871), the rebound ranked ninth in team history (2917), the assists ranked second in team history (3378), the steals ranked second in team history (983), and the blocks ranked tenth in team history (466).

Qin Fei's resume in the Warriors is indeed brilliant, but the general manager's focus is not on these "little things", he just wants to know what Qin Fei thinks.

In the summer of this year, everyone was waiting for Qin Fei's decision, and there were countless teams that secretly contacted Qin Fei.

In the end, Qin Fei chose to stay with the Warriors and signed a five-year contract with the Warriors.

"We are a competitive team. I have achieved success in the Warriors and hope to continue my career path here." Qin Fei finally wrote a long article, thanking all fans and friends who support and care about him.

The five-year contract is actually very short, because Qin Fei still signed a 4+1 contract. In the fourth year, he has the opportunity to jump out and become a free agent.

This contract is also an absolute maximum salary, 5 million US dollars in 9000 years.

However, when renewing the sneaker contract, Qin Fei did not choose to renew the contract with Nike, but switched to his own sneaker brand "Qin Fei".

Just like Jordan, Qin Fei independently operates his own sneaker brand, but it is the one that is completely decoupled from Nike.

This also revealed Qin Fei's ambition, which offended some interest groups.

However, on the side of the Warriors, they will still stand firmly with Qin Fei and safeguard their common interests.

This summer, due to various factors, O'Neal failed to stay on the team and switched to the Eastern Pistons.

The combat power of the Warriors is actually declining. In order to make up for the vacancy at the fourth position, Rowell followed Qin Fei's suggestion and chose to trade with the Hornets in exchange for the fourth-year student David West, who was selected by the Hornets with the [-]th overall pick in the first round of the draft.

For this reason, the Warriors paid the price of sending Arenas away.

Last season, the second-year Arenas became an important firepower on the Warriors' bench. Sometimes, when the main players did not play due to injuries, he seized the opportunity to score high and average double figures per game.

O'Neal stayed with the Lakers, and Yao Ming signed a five-year contract with the Bulls.

This year, the Warriors set sail again, and many teams in the West are recruiting.

For example, the Timberwolves, in order to break the curse of the first round, the Timberwolves attracted Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell, and Kevin Garnett to form the Minnesota three-headed monster.During the regular season, the Timberwolves actually reached the No. 24.2 spot in the Western Conference, beating the Warriors and the Lakers. Garnett won the MVP of the season with an average of 13.9 points, 5 rebounds and [-] assists per game.

The Timberwolves eliminated the Nuggets 4-1 and finally broke the curse of the first round. They fought seven games with the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals and advanced. KG's domineering words before the start of the seventh game were leaked-"the bullets are loaded in the barrel."

This time it's really not bad for the Warriors. The defending champion Lakers lost to the upstart Timberwolves in the West, which has nothing to do with the Warriors.

After the Timberwolves advanced, they faced the Warriors who came up from another line.

The Western Conference Finals between the two teams was uneventful. Cassel was distracted by injuries, Ginobili scored 29 points in the sixth game, and the Warriors returned to the finals 4-2.

This year, the Eastern Conference team that reached the Finals was the Bulls.

The Bulls reached the Finals for the first time since Jordan.

In the past two years, McGrady has been in a hot state, averaging close to 30 points per game. If the ball is not given to other players, he is expected to compete for the scoring champion.

Certainly not including this season.

In this season, Qin Fei averaged 34.2 points per game, and was crowned the scoring champion with an outstanding attitude. Other players simply couldn't compete with him.

The two teams met in the finals. Although the Bulls have little experience, their inside height advantage is real.

In the first game, the Bulls in the away game actually took the lead. In the end, they took the lead 98 to 89, which was surprising.

In the second game, the super fighter Qin Fei was born. Before the end of the fourth quarter, he made a key three-pointer, scored 14 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, and led the Warriors to victory in the second game with 51 points.

The Warriors became more courageous as they fought, especially the bombardment tactics behind them, which dragged the Bulls to exhaustion.

In the end, the Warriors eliminated the Bulls 4-2 in the series and won the sixth championship in team history, which was also Qin Fei's third championship with the Warriors.

The value of this championship is extremely high. Qin Fei, who has held four championships, three FMVPs, and two MVP honors, has begun to be included in the discussion of the top ten in history.

His historical status has once again been elevated.

It is also a matter of course that after the end of this season, he became the No. 1 Warriors team history, surpassing Chris Mullin and other team stars.

From this year, the Warriors Dynasty was recognized by the league.

Although the Warriors who won three championships in five years did not win consecutive championships, they are still considered to have established a dynasty.

At the age of 26, Qin Fei became the dynasty builder.
