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

Amid the high-pitched and powerful shouts of the on-site commentary and the arena DJ, the cheers and screams of the New York fans broke through the roof of the stadium, and the tens of thousands of fans outside Madison Square Garden were also extremely excited.

Knicks (133): (129) Heat.

With a 4-point difference and the last 7 seconds, it has become increasingly difficult for the Heat to complete a comeback without leader Wade.

Pat Riley, with deep eyes, quickly called a 20-second timeout, which was also the Heat's last timeout in regular time tonight.

Without further ado, Pat Riley acted resolutely and called all the main players to form a circle around him. The marker in his hand was drawing the key tactics on the tactical board.

Trailing by 7 points in the last 4 seconds, the only plan before the Heat was to quickly score a three-pointer or two points quickly, and then quickly commit a tactical foul...

For the Knicks, Isaiah Thomas praised the key performance of Lin Fei and his main teammates, and then reminded the defense to try to choke the Heat's outside shots, which can give up two points.

In the audience, many fans had already stood up excitedly.

"Oh my god, 73 points, I guessed it right, it was 73 points!"

"Lin must not score again. The Heat missed consecutive shots. The game is over!"

"I guessed 76 points. Lin will hit another three-pointer and win the Christmas game perfectly!"

"It's just a score for guessing correctly, right? For $100, are you so excited?"

"Oh my God, this is definitely the most intense and exciting Christmas game I have ever seen. Lin's two 70+ games should be the second in league history to score 70 points more than twice in a single game after Wilt Chamberlain. + Super star, right?"

"How can Zhang Bolun be a good match for me, Lin Bi? Lin has scored 70+ points in these two games, but it was a life-and-death fight with fists and fists, and there is no suspicion of cheating!"

"You must know that Lin has only played 21 minutes tonight due to injuries. If he had played for 40 minutes, the 100 points of this old guy Zhang Bolun would have been lost long ago!"

"Lin is really too strong. The two best shooting guards in the league, Dwayne Wade and Kobe Bryant, have both been defeated by Lin!"

"In Christmas 2006, Lin's 73 points is the best gift!"

"Don't speak too early. The game is not over yet. I feel like Lin has to get at least two or three more points, right?"

"Based on Lin's superb performance in tonight's Christmas game, the All-Star vote-winner for the third time in a row is definitely guaranteed!"

On the court, the 20-second pause ended quickly and the game continued.

The Heat served a sideline ball in the frontcourt. Without Wade, Pat Riley sent in second-year Monta Eisley. O'Neal was also replaced and replaced by Antoine Walker.

Pat Riley obviously wanted to gamble on a three-pointer at the last minute.

Jason Williams was responsible for serving the ball from the sideline, and Marbury stepped in to interfere and intercept.

Alice, whom Lin Fei was chasing, had no chance to catch the ball. Ariza also desperately pursued and interfered with Battier's catch.

The Heat's two inside shooters obviously became the last hope. They and Antoine Walker quickly performed a non-ball movement screen at the top of the key.

He quickly got a chance to catch the ball roughly on the left side, and White Chocolate's serve was also quickly given.

However, roughly this position is still one step away from the three-point line. When he took a step to adjust his rhythm, Channing Frye also quickly pounced on him.

At the critical moment, he generally did not choose to make a strong shot, but quickly gave the ball to Antoine Walker who was throwing away Eddie Curry and rushing towards the three-point line at the top of the arc.

After Fat Tou Tuo caught the ball, he saw that there were only the last 4 seconds left on the timer, so without any hesitation, he opened his hand and shot a three-pointer.

However, the moment the basketball flew out of Walker's fingertips, a strong figure suddenly flew out of the penalty area, his long arms like a sword unsheathed.

"Snapped!"

In Walker's horrified eyes, Lin Fei blocked the sky with his big hand, slapped the basketball hard, and delivered a fierce shot-blocking shot.

But Lin Fei's block was impartial, and the basketball spinning at high speed unexpectedly hit Antoine Walker's face.

"boom!"

The impact was so strong that Walker instantly felt a nosebleed. He tried to grab the ball in a panic, but the basketball had already fallen into the hands of Lin Fei, who had blocked the shot and landed on the ground.

The angry Walker endured the pain on the bridge of his nose and without any time to think, he took a step forward and pounced towards Lin Fei.

Standing at the top of his own arc, Lin Fei saw that Antoine Walker was committing a tactical foul, so he did not hesitate and quickly threw the basketball toward the front basket.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded and a foul was called on Walker's three-point shot.

"boom!"

The basketball that flew three-quarters of the way up the court also hit the corner of the frontcourt's steel backboard heavily.

"Mygod, it's a three-point foul. Oh my god, Lin has to make three free throws at the last minute of the game!"

"From such a long distance, when he was fouled, he could throw it casually and hit the backboard accurately. Lin's shooting touch is really invincible!"

"Lin's free throws were almost 100%, and he made three extra free throws. Which means his personal score tonight will be 76 points? Omg, a new personal record is about to be set!"

While the Knicks fans at the scene were excited and excited, an accident suddenly happened on the court.

Antoine Walker, who was hit on the bridge of the nose by Lin Fei's basketball, was spurting blood from his nostrils. In a sour and angry mood, the referee whistled for a foul on the shooting thug. On impulse,

He rushed forward and raised his hand, pushing Lin Fei to the floor with one force:

"Chinese boy, no matter how powerful you are, it can't change the fact that you are a yellow-skinned monkey!"

At this time, Lin Fei didn't notice at all, it was completely caused by Walker's sudden attack, but in the end he was just pushed down, and there was nothing serious.

When Eddy Curry and Ariza saw their boss being bullied, they immediately gave up. They rushed towards Antoine Walker almost at the same time, and they were about to fight again.

Antoine Walker, who was punched by Eddie Curry, was instantly intimidated when he was one against two. In addition, it was unreasonable for him to strike first, so he kept retreating and did not dare to fight.

"Old guy? Do you dare to say what you just said again? You made blatant racial remarks on the court. I'm afraid you forgot what happened to Jason Terry!"

"Beep!"

Three referees and other players from the two teams quickly rushed to break up the fight, and further conflicts were quickly avoided.

The home Knicks fans shared the same hatred and stood up from their seats, celebrating the victory while shouting to expel Antoine Walker, expel Antoine Walker.

Pat Riley, who was standing on the sidelines of the Heat, covered his face with his hands, feeling ashamed and angry at Antoine Walker's stupid operation at the last moment.

As the No. 96 pick in the first round of the 6 golden generation, Antoine Walker's performance in the early stages of his career was quite impressive. He averaged 23+9 per game in his peak season. He partnered with Pierce in the Green Army and was selected as a starter in the Eastern All-Stars.

But whether on or off the court, Antoine Walker's game and character have always been criticized, and even many local fans in Boston don't like this guy.

Now at the age of 30, Walker has bounced around many teams such as the Mavericks, Hawks, Heat, etc., coupled with his confusing off-court life and high debts, it is very likely that he will not be guaranteed at the end of the season.

Feeling the anger and curses of the home Knicks fans, Antoine Walker, who was still bleeding from his nose, was in a panic, like a rat crossing the street, everyone was shouting to beat him.

After referee Joey Crawford repeatedly watched the conflict video, the penalty was finally determined.

Antoine Walker was directly ejected from the game for a second-level flagrant foul for pushing someone and making racial slurs. Eddy Curry and Ariza each received a technical foul.

Eddie Curry accumulated two technical fouls and was ejected.

Antoine Walker walked into the players' tunnel and was greeted with curses.

And Eddie Curry, who scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block tonight, and played a good guard with a knife next to Lin Fei, received endless applause from the fans.

Eddie Curry, who was in a cheerful mood, did not forget to high-five the fans when he walked into the tunnel, and reminded with a smile:

"Dear family members, the All-Stars are coming, don't forget to vote for me!"

On the timer at this time, there were only 1.9 seconds left before the end of the game.

The Heat took the lead in executing two technical foul free throws, and Williams made both.

Knicks (133): (131) Heat.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Fei made two free throws for Antoine Walker's flagrant foul, followed by three free throws for shooting fouls.

Stupid Antoine Walker actually gave Lin Fei 5 free throws at the last moment of the game. This was such a pure undercover behavior that Pat Riley on the sidelines almost cried with laughter.

The moment Lin Fei stood on the free throw line, the entire Madison Square Garden burst into cheers. The fans chanted "mvp" and looked forward to Lin Fei breaking his personal record of 75 points in a single game with a free throw.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Every time Lin Fei made a free throw, the fans at the scene shouted in unison for his score tonight:

"74 points!"

"75 points!"

"Shh!"

"76 points!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Without any misses, Lin Fei was always as steady as an old dog at the free throw line, making all five consecutive free throws.

"78 points. There are only 1.9 seconds left in the game. When the Heat are 7 points behind, they should not attack again. Then Lin's personal score tonight will be fixed at 78 points!"

"The 78 points in a single game surpassed Lin's miraculous 11 points in a single game against the Timberwolves in early November. This fierce Christmas game will be remembered by all fans forever!"

"And one thing we need to be clear about is that Lin stayed in the locker room to rest for most of the second half tonight, and only played 21 minutes in total!"

"Being able to score 21+ points in 70 minutes is such a terrifying scoring efficiency that not even the ancient beast Zhang Bolun can achieve!"

Knicks (138): (131) Heat.

The Heat immediately gave up their attack after serving from the bottom line, and the whistle that ended the game quickly sounded.

Lin Fei felt his slightly sore ankle and still stinging brow bone, and hugged and celebrated with every Knicks teammate on the court.

This is a rare victory that once again enhanced the momentum and pride of the Knicks team.

The expelled Eddie Curry and David Lee also returned to the court from the locker room and celebrated the Christmas Day victory with their teammates.

As the defending champion, it was indeed a shame to lose to the fifth-place Knicks in the Eastern Conference. After coach Pat Riley hurriedly shook hands with Isaiah Thomas, he walked directly into the player tunnel.

However, most of the Heat players stayed and chose to take the initiative to shake hands with the Knicks players, especially to congratulate Lin Fei for his 78-point return and his superb performance tonight.

After all, we are all teammates who have played together, including O'Neal, O'Neal, Shane Battier, Jason Williams, and Udonis Haslem, Ellis and others on the bench.

They also always have friendship and respect for Lin Fei.

"Lin, you had a great time playing this game tonight. Congratulations on your 78 points. But next time you come to Miami, don't think about being so arrogant again!"

O'Neal patted Lin Fei on the shoulder, his words were full of ridicule and teasing, but it was also hard to avoid the sigh of Li Guang, a beauty who is easy to grow old.

Tonight, O'Neal scored 23 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. His performance on both offense and defense could only be considered satisfactory, but he was unable to provide the team with enough firepower support at critical moments, and was even benched.

Compared with the O'Neal in the OK era, the current Shark is indeed no longer at his peak and is about to give up his throne as the league's number one center.

But O'Neal is still more optimistic after all. There is nothing to regret in his career. If the three consecutive championships in the OK period are an absolute display of personal peak and dominance,

Then the two consecutive championships he won with the Heat were somewhat influenced by Lin Fei and Wade.

Now O'Neal looks back on his ups and downs in the 1992 seasons since he joined the NBA as the No. 15 pick in , from the Magic to the Lakers and now to the Heat.

Able to win 5 championships, 4 FMVPs and a regular season MVP, as well as 13 All-season appearances and 10 All-Star starts, firmly ranking among the top ten in NBA history.

These honors and brilliance are enough. No matter what the future direction of his career will be, O'Neal will be able to face it calmly and gracefully.

"Shaquille, what I'm looking forward to now is that we will meet in the playoffs and personally lead the team to defeat my former team. Well, this feels great!"

O'Neal then joked: "Lin, no matter whether you win or lose in the next game, I still want to remind you, don't hit my big elbow with your eyebrow bone again, I'm afraid of pain!"

"Haha, Shaquille, since you are scared, then I will try my best to prevent this from happening again!"

Knicks owner James Dolan also rushed to the court excitedly and hugged every Knicks player one by one to reward everyone for their efforts tonight.

"Trevor, you played well. If you hadn't hit the three-pointer in the end and grabbed the key rebound, I almost planned to ask Thomas to trade you tonight!"

"Eddie, it looks like you've lost a lot of weight, and you are indeed more handsome now!"

"David, you have to toughen up, you can't embarrass us white people!"

"Stephen, I almost don't recognize you. Come on, I support you in continuing to compete with Steve Nash for the season assists title!"

Seeing James Dolan, who has always been unruly, actually getting along with his players, even the ESPN reporters on the sidelines were a little surprised.

At this time, in front of the commentary desk, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith were still summarizing the Christmas battle, marveling at the victory of Lin Fei and the Knicks:

“让我们来看看林今晚的具体数据吧：28投23中，三分球18投15中，两分球10中8，罚球17中17，命中率比上月那场75分还要更高！”

"It was indeed an unparalleled performance. In addition to efficiently scoring 78 points, Lin also contributed 9 assists, 2 rebounds, 10 steals and 5 blocks!"

"The 10 steals and 5 blocks in a single game also broke Lin's personal single-game record!"

"More importantly, Lin Fei's 78 points, 9 assists and 10 steals tonight was also the first time in his career that he was so close to getting a triple-double!"

"This is a near triple-double with 70+ steals, missing only one assist. It is a unique miracle in the history of the league!"

"At the same time, Lin is also the sixth player in NBA history to get 6 steals in a single game after Kendall Gill, Larry Kennon, Drexler and others!"

"A series of records stood out in the words of Barkley and Smith, highlighting what Lin Fei's performance tonight means to the 60-year history of the NBA!"

After the game, the Knicks fans who were leaving the stadium one after another were still talking about this classic Christmas game. Those fans who won the lottery can redeem their prizes in cash directly from the staff at the exit outside the arena.

Lin Fei's three personal statistics tonight were 78 points, 9 assists and 2 rebounds. Unfortunately, no fans at the scene finally guessed all three statistics.

However, two lucky fans guessed 78 points and 2 rebounds. These fans also received US$1 each. There were more than a dozen fans who only guessed 78 points, each receiving a bonus of US$1000. .

[Ding, congratulations to the host. He led the Knicks to win the Christmas Day game, and scored an epic 78 points, 9 assists and 10 steals in a single game. He officially received the system reward: lifetime injury exemption card]

While Lin Fei was taking photos with many star fans on the sidelines, the sound of system rewards also came to his mind.

Lin Fei smiled and let out a long sigh of relief. He really risked his life tonight for this [Lifetime Injury and Injury Exemption Card].

Although this [lifetime injury exemption card] can only prevent Lin Fei from season reimbursement and tissue-destroying injuries, things like tonight's ankle scrape and brow bone fracture may still be unavoidable.

But in the end, it gave Lin Fei a huge guarantee for his NBA career, so that he would not have to worry about his future being affected by major injuries.

A huge billboard in New York's Times Square was also broadcasting news of the end of the Knicks vs. Heat game.

Lin Fei's 78-point highlight reel was filled with excitement, and the scene of stitches on his brow bone on the sidelines made many passersby stand in awe.

"God, Lin actually scored 78 points and played with two injuries? This is incredible. I really regret not being able to watch the game live!"

"This Lin is so handsome. Although I don't like basketball, it doesn't stop me from becoming Lin's fan!"

"Scored 21 points in 78 minutes? Are you kidding yourself? I will never believe this sensational news, not to mention this guy is just a yellow man!"

At the Knicks post-game press conference, head coach Isaiah Thomas brought Lin Fei, Marbury and Eddie Curry to participate.

The press conference room was originally reserved for more than 30 media reporters, but now it was packed with people. Many reporters could only squeeze outside the conference room door. In total, there were more than 50 media reporters.

Some media reporters came directly from the Heat's post-game press conference, and some New York media reporters who had nothing to do with sports also swarmed over after hearing the news.

There is no doubt that Lin Fei's performance in the Christmas game tonight has completely exceeded the meaning of NBA and sports itself.

The two jerseys Lin Fei replaced because they were stained with blood during the game were also officially collected by the Knicks.

At the same time, Lin Fei himself also collected the official ball of this Christmas game and kept it as a souvenir.

"Lin, tonight you once again broke your personal single-game scoring record. In just 21 minutes of playing, you made 28 of 23 shots, 17 of 17 free throws, and scored 78 points. So after all the things you have experienced in your entire career, In the game, where would you rank your performance tonight?"

Lin Fei thought about the microphone for a moment, smiled and said: "Top three, but not number one!"

"I still regard my extraordinary performance in Game 04 of the 5 Western Conference Finals as the most important game in my career, because without that game, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

"Lin, do you think you have completely surpassed Dwayne Wade and Kobe Bryant and become the number one shooting guard on active duty?"

"Dwayne is not only my former teammate, but also a very good friend of mine. Only I know best how huge his potential is. We will have more opportunities to compete in the future!"

"Who is the current No. 1 shooting guard? I think it still takes time to answer this question!"

Lin Fei is not too arrogant in public, but even if he is humble, his incredible performance on the field and god-level statistics have already explained everything.

Reporter: "Lin, you have scored 70+ points in two games. You are the second star in NBA history to score 70+ points in a single game at least twice, after Wilt Chamberlain!"

"So, what do you think of this ancient great god? If you were to compete against Zhang Bolun at his peak, would you be confident that you could score more points than him in the game?"

Lin Fei: "Wirt is a legendary star. His 100 points in a single game and his season average of 50+ points are insurmountable miracles!"

"Maybe I have a chance to score more points than him in the game, but the prerequisite is that I must lead the team to victory!"

Lin Fei's answer was quite clever. Not only did he express his view of winning first, but he also seemed to secretly question Zhang Bolun's suspicion of scoring points.

Then a white male reporter in a straight suit raised his hands, obviously intending to embarrass Lin Fei:

"Lin, as your backcourt partner on the team, Dwayne Wade or Stephon Marbury, who do you think is better between them?"

Marbury, who was sitting next to Lin Fei, almost fell asleep. When he heard the reporter mention his name, he became energetic. He frowned and looked at the reporter who asked the question. This guy didn't look like a good person.

At the same time, Marbury was also looking forward to Lin Fei's answer.

"Stephen and Dwayne are the best partners I have ever played with. They both have extraordinary talents and superb skills. It's just that the team environment Stephen and I are in now is more challenging!"

"But I believe that under the leadership of Stephen and I, this Knicks will definitely have a chance to win the championship in the next three years, and Stephen will also become one of the best point guards in the league!"

Although Lin Fei's answer was airtight, the flaw was eventually caught by eight hundred savvy media reporters. A white reporter quickly wrote the following sentence in his diary with a pen:

"Lin Fei thinks Stephon Marbury is not one of the best point guards in the league yet!"

Another reporter's record went even further: "Lin believes that without his arrival, Stephon Marbury would never be able to touch the NBA championship!"

Gaining traffic and creating gimmicks has always been the bounden duty of media reporters. The difference is that some reporters still have principles and bottom lines, while some reporters have no bottom line...

In the Christmas Day game between the Lakers and Nuggets that ended later, Kobe was inspired by Lin Fei and took advantage of the fact that the Nuggets' backcourt defense was not strong enough.

全场轰下52分6篮板7助攻，协同大姚的26分11篮板2封盖，在斯台普斯中心球馆，以117:109赢下掘金。

Although Kobe and Dayao both played wonderful statistics, they still could not become the darlings of Los Angeles media reporters.

Because in this night's Christmas battle, there was only one real focus, and that was Lin Fei.

Although the media reporters were not sensible, after all, Kobe and Yao won the game and scored impressive statistics. What's more, they are Lin Fei's friends, so on the surface they still maintain their grace in front of the media.

At the visiting team's press conference, Anthony, who lost and was beaten by Kobe Bryant, was not so good-tempered.

"Cameron, although you only scored 40 points with less than 17% shooting against Kobe tonight, what do you think of Lin's miraculous 78 points tonight?"

After hearing the strange question from the white reporter, Anthony jumped up from his seat angrily, slapped the table, pointed at the reporter and cursed:

"Fuck, I see you're paralyzed!"

In the Christmas Day game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons, LeBron James performed brilliantly. He made 36 of 19 shots and 16 of 14 free throws. He scored a career-high 56 points, plus 10 rebounds and 7 kills. assist,

However, in front of the powerful Pistons, the Cavaliers eventually lost the game 99:105.

After all, the Pistons are first in the Eastern Conference this season. Although they have lost Ben Wallace, one of the Pistons' top five, the team's defense is still there, and Webb and Antonio McDyess have also fully made up for the shortcomings inside.

So even if he lost to the Pistons, James was still quite satisfied. After all, his 56 points was a career high, and it was a 50+ triple-double.

I think this time it should be on the cover or headline of "Sports Illustrated", right? After all, there are Nike and the league president dealing with him.

But after the game, when he heard that Lin Fei scored 78 points in Madison Square Garden and led the team to win against the Heat, James instantly felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head, and his 56 points immediately became unpleasant.

at the Cavaliers' postgame press conference.

"LeBron, if you were facing Lin from the Knicks tonight, do you think you could still get 50+?"

James' eyes were cold, with a look of despair on his face: "Sorry, next question!"

"LeBron, as a member of the 03 generation, what do you think is the gap between you and Lin now?"

James: "Sorry, next question!"

"LeBron, if the draft of the 03 generation is now rearranged, who do you think has a better chance of getting the No. pick among you, Lin, or Wade?"

James: "Next...next question!"

James, who was sitting in front of the press conference, couldn't bear the black female reporter's question and insisted on involving Lin Fei, but he still maintained his basic courtesy and quality and was not as impulsive as Anthony.

After all, James knows very well that the NBA's annual regular season MVP is selected by well-known sports reporters from all over the world. Even if he can't get along with anyone, he must not offend these reporters.

The news that Lin Fei scored 78 points despite being injured to help the Knicks narrowly beat the defending champion quickly spread throughout the league and among all NBA fans around the world, like a fanatical hurricane.

Sports newspapers and magazines all over the country published the news on their front pages, and forum posts about Lin Fei appeared one after another on major sports websites.

"I just scored 75 points last month, and this month I scored 78 points again. Isn't Lin's record-breaking speed too crazy?"

"This 78 points made Lin's scoring average once again exceed 40+. No one can take away this scoring champion in the new season!"

"Oh my god, that's 78 points, 9 assists and 10 steals. Only one assist is missing from the first 70+ triple-double in history, Fei Ge yyds!"

"Don't forget that Lin only played 21 minutes in the game. If not for the injury in the second half, Lin is estimated to have hit at least 20 three-pointers. Zhang Dashuai's record of 100 points in a single game has long been lost!"

"Haha, although Zhang Bolun's 100 points in a single game is difficult to maintain, no one can beat points, right?"

"Did you see the front-page headline of the New York Times: The savior of the New York Knicks, Lin Fei is here to conquer the NBA!"

"I used to think that these gangsters were pretty good at playing in the NBA, but now it seems like they are nothing more than that! From now on, they will all be defeated by my brother Fei!"

“单节37分、半场60分、全场78分9助攻10抢断，就问还有谁？巅峰迈克尔·乔丹也得靠边站！”

"Phinea should have left Wade and O'Neal long ago and gone it alone. Now coming to the Knicks is the most correct choice!"

"As long as the Knicks' record this year is not bad and they remain in the top four in the Eastern Conference, with Fei Ge's incredible statistics, they will definitely hope to win the first mvp trophy of his career!"

Lin Fei's return as the king in this Christmas game, his tough guy image with 13 stitches without anesthesia, and his miracles of 78 points and 10 steals quickly set off a wave of "Linsanity" around the world.

Not only did many fans in mainland China enthusiastically vote for Lin Fei through All-Star voting through phone calls, text messages and the Internet,

Fans from other five continents around the world also took advantage of the enthusiasm brought by this Christmas war to actively vote for Lin Fei as an All-Star, supporting their idol to once again become the top vote-getter.

In your province, in the second grade class of a middle school, there is a math teacher with glasses and a gentle manner. He is an avid NBA enthusiast and Lin Fei fan.

"Children, I won't leave you any homework this weekend. I hope everyone has a happy holiday!"

"Teacher, I have only one small request, that is, students who like Lin Fei and the NBA must remember to vote for Lin Fei!"

In many Anta specialty stores in Imperial City and Magic City, eye-catching promotional words are posted on the windows:

"All guests who vote for Lin Fei on the Internet for All-Stars will receive a 8% discount on all shoes and clothing products. This one day only, this one day only!"

……

the next morning.

New York Olympic Building, NBA headquarters.

As soon as he sat down at the desk in his office, David Stern received a call from his secretary.

"Mr. Stern, I think I need to report to you that our All-Star online voting system may have been attacked by hackers, and some data have huge deviations!"

After hearing what the secretary on the other end of the phone said, David Stern frowned and asked, "There is a malfunction in the online voting system? What exactly is going on?"

"Actually, there isn't much of a problem. The main problem is with Knicks player Lin. From last night's All-Star voting officially opened to 12 o'clock this morning, in just 360 hours, he received a total of more than votes from home and abroad. Thousands of votes!”

"According to common sense, this is almost impossible to happen, so I think there must be a malfunction in our online voting system!"

David Stern understood instantly. It seemed that Lin Fei's 78 points in last night's game could be said to have struck while the iron was hot, causing his popularity to soar to its peak among fans at home and abroad.

However, it received more than 12 million votes in 300 hours, which is really scary.

"There should be no glitches in the voting system. As for Lin's vote, it should still depend on the serious vote manipulation problem on the Chinese side. When the vote count is announced, let's follow the old routine of last year!"

"Mr. Stern, last year we discounted Lin's vote count by 30%, but if this trend continues this year, even with a 30% discount, his vote count will be over 10 million, which will definitely far surpass the second-place finisher. There are several times as many famous football stars!”

David Stern spoke resolutely: "It's normal to have a large number of votes on the first day. How is it possible that there are millions of votes every day after that?"

"Anyway, you let the statistics team decide. If the 30% discount is too much, then give him a 10% discount. We can't defeat Lin's vote leader, but we definitely can't let him get too many votes away from the local stars!"

After hanging up the phone with his secretary, David Stern was really shocked by Lin Fei's current terrifying popularity.

As the president of the league for more than 20 years, Stern knew that he would not be wrong about Lin Fei, but he still had to admit that Lin Fei's current popularity and influence once again exceeded his greatest expectations.

Looking back on the rise of Michael Jordan 20 years ago, compared with Lin Fei now, he still has to be inferior.

President Stern is naturally looking forward to the rise of Lin Fei to drive the NBA global market, but he is unwilling to see a situation beyond his control.

However, it now seems that the future of Lin Fei and the NBA is no longer within his control as the president.

Even Nike Group may not be able to.

Although Lin Fei completed his superb performance in the Christmas game despite being injured, due to the minor injury to his ankle and three fractures to his brow bone,

After discussion, the Knicks coaching staff and team medical staff unanimously decided to let Lin Fei rest for at least one week, waiting for his injury to recover before returning with full blood.

Of course, the reason why the coaching staff allowed Lin Fei to take a truce with peace of mind was also due to the fact that the Knicks will have a loose schedule and their opponents will be weak.

Lin Fei is not obsessed with attendance. Taking advantage of his truce for these few games, he can also give other Knicks players more time and opportunities to perform and get used to playing games without him.

The narrow victory in the Christmas game, coupled with Lin Fei's miraculous 78 points in the return of the king, seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du among the Knicks players.

Inspired by the spiritual attributes of leaders, Marbury, Eddie Curry and others led the team to win consecutive victories against the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics without Lin Fei.

The record in the Eastern Conference has also been directly improved to fourth place, surpassing the Toronto Raptors and second only to the Pistons, Heat and Cavaliers.

Throughout December, although Lin Fei missed two games of the Knicks, he still led the team to a record of 12 wins and 10 losses. Coupled with his unprecedented performance in the Christmas game, he also defeated Dwayne head-on. En Wade,

In the latest regular season MVP rankings, Lin Fei quickly soared from the previous 7th place to 3rd place.

With the end of December, the new year 12 has also ushered in the New Year's Day, a scene of joy at home and abroad as we say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

Domestically, in August, the National Sports Administration recruited well-known directors to film a documentary on China’s men’s basketball world championship victory.

It was also announced that it will be officially released in theaters in major cities in China on December 12st during the Lunar New Year period.

Originally, this documentary was only planned to be shot for 30-45 minutes, but in the end due to the excessive amount of information collected, the content was too touching and detailed. After editing, the length of the film still reached 99 minutes.

As a patriotic documentary promoting the China Men's Basketball Team, it is not suitable to be released in theaters. Normally, it should be released and broadcast on China's major channels for free, so as to gain more public response.

But the filming of this documentary is so wonderful. It is divided into three parts: the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, the NBA journey of Lin Fei, Dayao and others, and the final victory of the Island World Championship. It is deeply touching and has extraordinary educational significance.

Finally, after multiple discussions between the announcement and the Sports Bureau, in order to give the public a greater touch and a better viewing experience,

It has been decided to officially release this sports reality documentary called "Chinese Men's Basketball Team, Defeat Saitama" in theaters during the Lunar New Year.

Lin Fei cooperated with the crew that flew to New York half a month ago to shoot some of the live content and promotional posters for this documentary.

Although Lin Fei's popularity is huge, and China's victory in the World Men's Basketball Championship inspired everyone, at the end of 2006, China's film market was still in the development stage.

In addition, there are several Lunar New Year commercial films released at the same time during the Lunar New Year period. Therefore, many experts and media predict that as a pure documentary, "Celestial Men's Basketball, Defeat Saitama" will never have a box office of more than 1 million.
