In the blink of an eye, unexpectedly, Da Tie has already reached over 3.3 million words...

As everyone knows, because basketball novels have a natural outline and the suspense decreases after the protagonist's strength reaches the mid-stage, it's always been quite difficult for basketball novels to maintain freshness and continue writing beyond 3 million words.

Most basketball novels end between 1 and 2 million words, largely due to this reason, with only a few exceeding 3 million.

Fortunately... at least up to now, writer's block is indeed frequent, but the passion is still going strong. (Shamelessly patting myself on the back first.)

Overall, Qiao spent about 300,000 words on the 04/05 season.

Because in the outline, this is Su Feng's first championship after leaving the Raptors, the length of this season will be longer than previous seasons.

Huh? Wait! About 300,000 words for a season is considered long?

Are you, the dog author, looking down on our Qidian coins or what?

Look, although 99.99% of readers gave Qiao good feedback on this Finals series and said it was more explosive, only how much has been written before readers started saying, "Ah, you're being repetitive," "Ah, how can you write so many chapters for one game," and so on...

Well, here I'd like to give a special response to a reader named "Formatted." Because Qidian's text-to-speech is a machine voice without passion or inflection, I'll stick to my point with a joke:

If Qiao and the vast majority of readers think this plot is okay, even if we have to bear 99% of the blame, don't you have 1% of the blame yourself? (Why are you shouting so loudly! Smile.jpg, just kidding, please don't mind it.)

First of all, in Qiao's book, since you, as an old reader, have been reading until now, you should know that Qiao has written series that are much longer than this Finals series before.

Moreover, although these few games took ten or so chapters, in order to save the ink for this Finals series, didn't Qiao finish the previous playoffs in just 2 or 3 chapters?

To be honest, when I decided to write about the series against the Bulls with about 150,000 words, Qiao also considered many issues.

Because I don't know when it started, at Qidian, as long as the author doesn't use a fast-paced outline flow to advance the story after the novel enters the mid-stage, and doesn't keep it consistently satisfying, a small number of readers will jump out from time to time and say you're being repetitive.

No matter how many foreshadowings you've laid for this plot, no matter how important this plot is for the future, and no matter what other readers think.

But then again...

If Da Tie didn't have so much character development before, including now, would it still be as exciting as it is now when Qiao gets emotional and passionate?

Why doesn't Boruto resonate with people?

What exactly is the reason?

Actually, in terms of novels, if you don't even have the necessary character psychological descriptions and fast-forward everything, isn't that just continuing down the old path of relying on cheats and finishing the book in a muddle?

Therefore, from the perspective of the entire 04/05 season, these few games against the Mavericks are actually the final climax.

For example, because Qiao wrote the Finals G2 from the perspective of the Mavericks, from the Mavericks' point of view, some readers will naturally think that the Mavericks are using all kinds of cheats and the protagonist is getting beaten up. However, in the real world, if you can use cheats, won't your opponents also use cheats? And if your star players can win by using cheats, then I, who you guys joke about as the number one Ku Mi (Curry fan) and part-time chief Ku Hei (Curry hater), would have to stand up for Curry this season... After all, if some people on the Warriors could just be normal, would the Warriors be in this situation this season?

In addition, the reason why some readers have this view is also because Qiao gave the protagonist's perspective to the Mavericks. Actually, just like Qiao wrote in the second half of chapter 599, you feel that the Mavericks are using cheats, but the Mavericks feel that Su Feng is dominating the world. (The same was true when using Su Feng's perspective before.)

As early as when I started writing Da Tie, Qiao said that I didn't want to just blacken some stars, then complain for a bit, and then just write off some opponents.

Because that kind of writing has used too many cheats, and it's not appropriate in the real world.

In addition, I have repeatedly mentioned in my book many times that everyone's mindset grows at different times, and it's not static. Because something that's static is called a robot, not a person.

After all, if everyone could be as precise as a machine, never making mistakes, never getting carried away, how many billionaires would there be in this world?

And in terms of strength comparison, still persecuting the Warriors, no... before the Warriors and Grizzlies game, 99% of people probably thought the Warriors would win, right?

In fact, in competitive sports, what you think is impossible is much more possible than you imagine.

And the Warriors case may not even be that good, because there's also Milan in the Miracle of Istanbul, who would have thought they would be inexplicably overturned?

There's also EG at this year's Singapore Major, leading 2-0 in the series and having an economic lead of more than 10,000 in the third game, who would have thought IG could complete the comeback from 0-2 in this situation?

Well, since we've mentioned IG and DotA2, let's also popularize the meme "Please PSG.LGD pick heroes" to some children who haven't played Dota 2.

Actually, in my book, I've reduced the frequency of using game memes compared to my previous book.

Because more often, I will only use them in the book when they are really appropriate.

And this is to make it easier for some readers who don't usually play games to roughly guess what the meme means through the context.

As everyone knows, there's the S-match in LoL, the World Cup in soccer, and the NBA Finals in the NBA, and the TI event is the ultimate event in DotA2.

Because the prize money for TI has broken world records several times, I believe some children who don't even play games have heard of the TI event.

As for why the prize money for TI is as high as tens of millions of dollars... (Wait, where are those Dota 2 players I fished out in the previous chapter? Does that mean that you're not willing to stand up and popularize it in the book review section in addition to the game client?)

In short, in this event, CndotA teams have left the myth of winning the TI2, TI4, and TI6 in even-numbered years.

And by TI8, the eighth Dota 2 Global Finals, because the champions of Dota 2 that year were all held by the foreign Three幻神 teams (three top foreign teams), many CndotA players were very desperate.

At this time, LGD's five young people stood up.

They killed all the way at TI8 and were only one step away from winning the championship when they led 2-1 in the finals.

Therefore, CndotA players also called them the hope of the whole village.

Unfortunately, the story that followed was that OG, which had been rebuilt from the qualifiers (in addition to obtaining TI spots through cup points before, Dota 2 also allowed ordinary players to form their own teams to participate in the qualifiers, similar to Happy Internet Cafe in The King's Avatar), completed the comeback in the finals.

And the voice of the PSG.LGD team when picking heroes has since become a sentence that CndotA players still remember vividly.

Therefore, combined with the mood of the Mavericks fans at that time in the book, it's roughly to highlight a state of mind that is difficult to reconcile.

And if you still don't understand after seeing this, then LoL players can think of RNG in S7 and S8, and soccer fans can think of AC Milan in 2005.

In short, because Qiao is a Dota player who enrages LoL players and a LoL player who enrages Dota players, you should be able to understand my mood before IG won the championship in S8, right?

Although many times, we are telling ourselves not to bring these things and events into real life.

But when you see the team you like, when you see the region you support being defeated...

Even if I'm 40 this year, I'll still be very sad.

Because I've always been this kind of person.

Simple.

Cute.

Kind. (Bah, shameless!)

Okay, let's get down to business.

Let's also respond to the readers who think this Finals series is a bit forced... wait, we've already won 4-0, why are there still people who think Qiao is forcing the Mavericks to be very strong? And in Qiao's book, you can also think about what a monster lineup this Mavericks team is! All you giegies who feel sorry for Qiao! Don't always think that the protagonist of a novel should be like a game character, having to get 100 points every time and winning every game!

Because games and reality are different, if Qiao really wrote according to the game, it would only ruin a novel that originally had a good rhythm.

Overall, Qiao is still very satisfied with the ending of the entire 04/05 season.

Because after entering the mid- and late-stages, how to make each character have flesh and blood, rather than advancing with an outline flow, is what Qiao has to consider.

And why are so many novels having godlike beginnings, peak mid-stages, and rotten endings now?

Here, let me state first that Qiao is not trying to criticize these few readers who like to put pressure on the author. But Qiao wants to tell these people a truth:

If the author is creating with passion and has laid a lot of foreshadowing for it, but these details are ignored and instead said to be repetitive, then think about it, isn't he bound to go down the dead end of frantically cutting plots and relying entirely on the outline to explain the ending?

Fortunately, most Da Tie readers agree with Qiao's views. And your tolerance for me can be described as unprecedented! (All you reader emperors are awesome!)

Also...

Writing characters is much more interesting than writing games and the final results.

Take that series against the Bulls, which Qiao thinks I wrote best, for example. It seems that Qiao was writing about the game at that time, but in fact, Qiao was leading to Su Feng's character personality, Su Feng's character growth, and the different growth and personalities of each character.

Therefore, I gave Stackhouse a redemption plot in that story.

And this is what many readers who thought I would directly write off Stackhouse didn't expect.

For example, many people previously thought that I would clichely keep slapping Larry Brown in the face.

But Qiao not only let him live to the very end, but Qiao also kept letting Su Feng dig pits for him to jump into.

Because Larry Brown in my book was originally intended to serve the 2004 Athens Olympics championship.

Therefore, how could Qiao be willing to let such a good supporting role get a lunchbox after only using him once?

In addition, it's already 2021, so no matter how good the basketball novel idea is, someone must have written a similar idea.

After all, there are so many basketball novel novels on the entire network, especially this theme of writing about swingmen as the protagonist. Even if Qiao designs it well, there will definitely be similar outline lines and story lines.

So what really distinguishes these basketball novels?

Is it the author's writing?

Is it the author's plot?

No, it's neither.

It's the characters under the author's pen.

Because of the different characters, the stories will be different.

And because of the different characters, the plot will go in completely different directions.

So Qiao can use 10 chapters to write the first two games of the Finals. Immediately afterwards, Qiao can also let those readers who think that I will use more than a dozen chapters to write the Finals, who think they understand Da Tie, understand the routine of Da Tie, and think that Da Tie will continue to write seven games by padding it out see that I can quickly finish this Finals series.

Because I said that after Qiao completes the character development, the result of this Finals series in my story, I don't need to spend more ink to describe it anymore.

When it's time to explain and enter the next plot, when has Qiao ever been procrastinating?

In short, from the outline, Su Feng's career has ended its first nine seasons.

So far, Qiao feels that the integrity of Da Tie's story is still very good.

And next, with the continuous appearance of new characters, Da Tie, which is about to enter the mid- and late-stages, will not use the outline flow to explain the story as a small number of people think.

Because Qiao said that there will be seasons of tens of thousands of words per season in the early stage of my book, and in the later stage, there will be seasons of hundreds of thousands of words per season.

Still the same sentence, everything is only for the completeness of the plot, the completeness of the characters, and the quality of the novel.

And Qiao's continued recovery in subscriptions when the 04/05 season is about to end is the best feedback for this plot.

The quality of the novel is not just about typos and word order, but also about the care in describing each character.

Therefore, when you feel that Da Tie is different from other novels you see at this time that use the outline flow and fast-paced methods to advance the story and continue to maintain the satisfying, satisfying, satisfying rhythm of the novel...

You can also try to think about why this book can be written to 3.3 million words and still make you full of passion for the following story.

From an overall perspective, the 04/05 season is another season that connects the past and the future.

So Qiao spent 300,000 words.

And next time I summarize, it should be when I finish the Miami plot.

As for what kind of story will happen in Su Feng's upcoming tenth, eleventh, and twelfth seasons?

Well.

Of course, I have to wait for Su Feng to send me the next story before I know.

After all, Qiao is just a stinky coder, what does Qiao know about basketball novels, what does Qiao know about novels?

Out of ten, I'll give myself ten this time.

Because for this paragraph, in order to write it well, Qiao even abandoned all shame (I haven't forgotten the words I owed before, that's my Xie Binzhu).

And can you find the details buried in these plots by Qiao? Can you be a prophet when Qiao reveals these foreshadowings in the next summary?

That depends on...

Whether you are like what a reader said jokingly to Qiao.

"Do you care about the life and death of Da Tie next?

No!

You don't care!

You only care about whether you are satisfied at this moment!" (This paragraph is purely for fun, please don't take it seriously.)

The first 603 chapters are over.

See you in chapter 604!

Thank you to all the handsome readers for your tolerance and support for Qiao!
