NBA: I have 3 but no D, and I still can’t dribble.

Chapter 23 The admiring look in Curry's eyes is that he is willing to cut himself off to bring



Robert Johnson graduated from Princeton University. At the age of 34, he founded BET, the first black entertainment television station in the United States.

In 2001, Johnson sold BET, thus becoming the first black billionaire in American history.

As early as two years ago,

Robert Johnson spent 3 million US dollars to buy the Charlotte Bobcats in preparation, and the team will officially enter the NBA's historical stage in the new season.

"Well, Reeve, you are right, but I still feel that this Chinese boy has great potential and has the opportunity to become a qualified second-in-command of the team in the future!"

"In tonight's game, if he can still hit at least 3 three-pointers in the second half, then do it as soon as possible and contact his agent!"

"Give him an annual salary of about 300 million, which should be quite a lot, right? Even more is not negotiable!"

Even though general manager Cheryl Reeve felt uncomfortable with her boss interfering in management matters, she didn't dare to refute it and could only smile and agree.

"Good boss, but judging from the situation of the game, it should be difficult for him to score three-pointers in the second half!"

This year’s NBA Draft Lottery drawing ceremony ended ten days ago.

The Orlando Magic received the No. 1 pick, while the Charlotte Bobcats, who were about to enter the league, received the No. 2 pick.

2004 can also be said to be a big year for the draft. Dwight Howard, a talented high school student from Atlanta Christian Academy, has basically booked the No. pick.

The Charlotte Bobcats have taken a fancy to this year's NCAA final four MOP: Emeka Okafor, and intend to select him with the second overall pick as the core of the team to train.

Other than that,

Josh Smith, Andre Iguodala, Devin Harris, Ben Gordon, JR Smith, Ruhr Deng, Sean Livingston, Tony Allen, Kevin Martin... are also rookies in this class.

Charlotte Christian Academy, in the video room of the basketball training facility.

A thin elementary school student with a baby face... ahem, a sophomore in high school, watching the Western Conference finals G6 game on TV with his teammates from the high school basketball team.

This baby-faced black teenager, but his skin is obviously whiter than his black companions, is 16-year-old Stephen Curry.

Curry on the high school team still wore No. 20, but switched to No. 30 after entering Davidson College.

Curry was too thin during this period, but he became the absolute main force of the school team with his precise shooting and good ball control ability.

Of course, there are also the connections and connections of Curry’s father, Dell Curry.

After all, Dell Curry was the absolute main force of the Charlotte Hornets throughout the 90s. He was known as the league's marksman and won the Best Sixth Man award.

When Dell Curry first came to play with the Charlotte Hornets, Curry Jr. grew up here.

During Curry's childhood, the Charlotte Hornets could be said to be his home team, and he often came to watch the game.

So far, Curry is still brooding about the team's trade of Kobe after the team drafted him in 96.

But with the Hornets moving to New Orleans during the 02-03 season, Charlotte no longer had an NBA team.

It wasn't until the new season that the Bobcats finally came to the city of Charlotte again.

But what Curry is most concerned about now is the Western Conference Finals G6 in front of him.

Although Lin Fei only scored 3 three-pointers in the first half, and they were all made in the first quarter, he did not score any points in the second quarter.

But Curry, who has a high golf quotient, saw the importance of Lin Fei to the Timberwolves' offense.

Just after Lin Fei made 7 of 7 three-pointers in the last game, Curry, who was also obsessed with three-pointers since childhood, already has a strong sense of admiration for Lin Fei.

After all, Curry, who is already 16 years old, has not found the slightest possibility of entering the NBA because of his thin body.

Even if he enters the NBA in the future, he will probably be a marginalized character like Lin Fei.

But now, Curry has seen a miracle in Lin Fei. An undrafted guy with a thin body who can only shoot can still have his own highlight moments in the NBA.

"Stephen, didn't you say that Lin is very powerful? He didn't score a single point in the second quarter!"

Curry stared at the TV screen with his big innocent eyes, and said stubbornly:

"I believe that Lin will definitely score in the second half, and he will make more three-pointers!"

Look back to Staples Center.

During the halftime break, in the visiting team's locker room.

Philip Sanders praised the performance of the players in the first half and encouraged everyone to keep up the game in the second half and win the game.

Leading by 1 point at halftime, this situation is completely acceptable to the Timberwolves coach. After all, this is a last-ditch battle on the road.

If the game can be tense until the final moment, Flip Saunders believes that the Timberwolves will have a greater chance of winning.

Not only because the overall age structure of the team's main players is younger than that of the Lakers,

It's also because Lin Fei, a killer assassin who sees blood and seals his throat, is in the Timberwolves' team now.

"Madman, Latrell, you took on the main responsibility on both offense and defense tonight. I'm proud of your performance!"

"But the more difficult thing is still in the second half. Grit your teeth and hold on. Even if you can't get a bigger advantage, you must find a way to bite the score for me!"

"Wally, you played well in the first half, get ready to play 40 minutes tonight!"

"Lin, you have already committed three fouls in the first half. You must control the number of fouls. Latrell, Wally, and Hoiberg must always pay attention to defend Lin!"

"I will try to pile up your playing time in the second half to the last 10 minutes of the last quarter, so you will not play more than 6 minutes in the third quarter!"

After the performance of 7 of 7 three-pointers in the last quarter, Philip Sanders has believed that Lin Fei is a rare player with a big heart.

There are many players in the league who are not outstanding, but they are often born for big scenes. At critical moments, they can shoot more accurately.

Lin Fei nodded and said: "Coach, I'm in pretty good shape. I played 17 minutes in the second half, so it shouldn't be a problem!"

The Wolf King, who scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block in the first half, obviously showed his confidence and condition. He patted his chest and said:

"Lin, with you here, Latrell and I won't be afraid of being double-teamed. If you are tired, just squat in the corner on the offensive end, and we will cover for you on the defensive end!"

"As long as me, Latrell and Wally are on the court at the same time, and Darik or Fred can open up the space and play 3-on-3 with the Lakers, we won't suffer!"

Faced with a life-and-death battle, the Wolf King also focused on the team's goal of winning and didn't care about personal data at all.

After all, there is no MVP in the Western Conference Finals at this time. Even if there is, Lin Fei, who only played well in the last two games, cannot steal the spotlight from his Wolf King.

The "Madman" who scored 10 points in the first half also had confidence and perseverance on his face:

"With Lin and Wally as two outside firepower points to contain us, our offensive space has obviously opened up!"

"I can let that kid Kobe score 30 points tonight, but we have to win the game!"

Sizebiak's eyes also shone with high fighting spirit, and he and Lin Fei beside him looked at each other and smiled, motivating each other:

"In the six games of the Western Conference Finals, I feel that I am in the best shape tonight. As long as I have a chance in the second half, I can make more shots!"

Lin Fei believed that this was the time when the Timberwolves team was most united, and he excitedly used an old Chinese saying to motivate his teammates:

"I'm willing to be killed in order to bring down the Lakers F4!"

The Timberwolves players looked at each other and asked Lin Fei in unison:

"Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Fei clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were like swords: "The prince and general Xiang Ning have kindness!"

The Timberwolves teammates were all confused. The more they explained, the less they understood...

Lin Fei: "...Don't say much, just do it!"

The wolf king threw his fist and roared: "Lin is right, fuck the Lakers, Shaquille is nothing, and Kobe is a bird? I am the MVP of this season!"

"Madman" glanced at the Wolf King sideways, and was secretly unhappy: "Without me, how could you get the MVP?"

Flip Saunders had a satisfied smile on his face. He had never seen the Timberwolves team so united.

Tonight's Western Conference Finals G6 should be stable.

The atmosphere in the locker room of the Lakers' home team is much worse than that of the visiting team.

There was obviously no positive interaction between the players. Although Kobe scored 15 points, the highest of both teams in the first half, his efficiency was not high.

O'Neal also scored 11 points and 6 rebounds in the first half, but the Timberwolves' zone defense was reasonable. The two big insiders, Wolf King and Olowokandi, were very active and hard on the defensive end.

This made the 32-year-old Shark unable to play a dominant performance, and he was also dissatisfied with Kobe's number of shots and was slightly angry.

The two old guys Malone and Payton were once again holding back. Although Malone also scored 8 points in the first half, his defensive end was very poor. Payton's defense was acceptable and he only made 7 of 1 shots on the offensive end.

Fisher, who was on the bench, put all his energy on defense. Even though he beat Lin Fei many times on the offensive end, he always chose to play the ball when facing the supplementary defense.

The Timberwolves couldn't break through the restricted area, and the shooting rate of several outside attempts was not ideal.

Lao Yu was wondering if he had overdrawn his good luck in shooting by killing the Spurs in 0.4 seconds in the last round of Tianwangshan?

To be honest, if it weren't for Fisher's 0.4-second limit lore, it would probably be the defending champion Spurs who are now standing in the Western Conference Finals facing the Timberwolves.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson is naturally aware of the disunity of the Lakers team.

But as the so-called freezing three feet does not happen in a day, it is simply unrealistic to try to solve these internal contradictions on the spot.

"If we don't win G6 of the Western Conference Finals tonight, none of you will know the consequences better than me!"

"Kobe and Derrick should commit more defensive fouls in the second half and get rid of him as soon as possible to avoid a long night of nightmares!"

"Kevin and Latrell's pick-and-roll made us lose a lot of points in the first half. Carl and Kobe must switch defenses in time, and Shaquille protects the basket!"

"In addition, in the third quarter, the Timberwolves are likely to continue to use shark-cutting tactics. Shaquille, you have to calm down and don't be impatient!"

"On the offensive end, I still say the same thing, hit the basket more and cause damage. This is our home court, and Stephen Jiawei will definitely take care of it!"

"Kobe, even if you hit two three-pointers in the first half, don't be obsessed with the touch!"

The 15-minute break ended quickly and the third quarter began.

In NBA games, the team that gets the ball from the opening jump ball will have the ball rights to start the first and fourth quarters, and the other team will get the ball rights to start the second and third quarters.

The Timberwolves served from the baseline, "Madman" advanced with the ball, and Lin Fei quickly moved to the left corner.

Come up in three quarters,

The "Zen Master" did not expect that Flip Saunders would send Lin Fei as soon as the second half started, playing 1 big and 4 small.

On the Lakers side, Fisher rested off the court, and it became Gary Payton chasing Lin Fei on the court.

After all, the 36-year-old Payton had slower legs and feet than Fisher. Lin Fei seized the opportunity, coupled with his abundant physical strength after the intermission, and made a cross screen with Kevin Garnett at the top of the arc.

The quality of the cover of the Wolf King was very good, and it completely blocked the old Payton's pursuit route.

Lin Fei received a pass from "Madman" at a familiar position at a 45-degree angle on the right side. Against Karl Malone, who was half a beat too late to change defense, he made a decisive three-pointer.

shhhhhh!

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

The buzzer sounded when the ball hit the net, and it also caused a foul on Malone's shooting hand.

Only 10 seconds into the second half, the Timberwolves unexpectedly caught the Lakers off guard on the offensive end.

Old Payton and Malone both blamed themselves, while the Wolf King and Lin Fei smiled and high-fived, and they cooperated happily.

Lin Fei walked to the free throw line calmly and calmly. His free throw attribute point had already reached 75. He had a shooting rate of to percent, right?
