NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 26 That Lin, he finally missed the shot! ! !
After a few words with Philip Sanders, the Wolf King, with new braces in his mouth, quickly came on to replace Madsen.
Madsen finally breathed a sigh of relief as he walked off the field, sat on the bench next to Lin Fei, and muttered in a low voice:
"Finally, there is nothing wrong with me. Otherwise, if I stay on the court, I will definitely be scolded by Latrell. If the team really loses, I will have to take the blame again!"
Lin Fei had been on the bench for a season, so he could naturally better understand Madsen's mood for playing a small role. He patted the opponent on the shoulder and said:
"Mark, don't be crowed, we will definitely win!"
Madsen nodded quickly and said enviously:
"Lin, I really envy you for being able to practice three-pointers so accurately. I'm miserable. Everything is average. Shooting, rebounding, defense, none of my strengths!"
Lin Fei said seriously: "Mark, if it doesn't matter, you can practice more three-point shooting. You will definitely be popular in the future!"
Madsen frowned in confusion and said, "Lin, don't lie to me. I'm a power forward. If I float outside to shoot three-pointers, I won't be scolded to death by the coach!"
Lin Fei shook his head and chuckled, saying nothing more.
on the field.
"Shh!"
"Bang!"
O'Neal made one of two free throws, but the rebound was grabbed by the Lakers. Kobe took advantage of the chaos and scored the basket, causing Olowokandi's thug to foul.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Peter Pan made two free throws, and the Lakers scored three points in one attack, and the momentum of chasing points continued unabated.
The Timberwolves attack, the Wolf King holds the ball in the high post, O'Neal switches to the defense in a misplaced position, and Olowokandi gets stuck under the basket and squeezes away the Ukrainian basket tool man.
Received a pass from the Wolf King and easily dunked.
"Boom!"
Although he is watery, he is still the top pick after all, and there is nothing to say about his physical fitness.
The reason why the Timberwolves can restrain O'Neal well in this round of the Western Conference finals is that the zone defense tactics are one of them. The Wolf King has the greatest effect, and Olowokandi also contributed a lot.
It is precisely because Olowokandi did a lot of dirty work of getting stuck and grabbing rebounds in this series.
Therefore, he couldn't stand the fact that Lin Fei came out of nowhere and had three-pointers on the defensive end, which was a pure drag on the team.
But Lin Fei has hit 13 three-pointers in a row in these two games. He is already the player with the most three-pointers among the two teams in this round of the Western Conference Finals. Olowokandi can't accept it!
Philip Saunders on the sidelines saw that the team withstood the pressure and maintained a close to double-digit lead, so he was even less anxious to let Lin Fei play.
Although physical strength is not a big problem, after all, Lin Fei has already fouled 4 times and was targeted by the Lakers' offense. Once he commits 5 fouls, he will be tied up everywhere.
The wolf king who returned to the battlefield really staged a return of the king. On the defensive end, when Olowokandi slammed O'Neal hard, he decisively double-teamed and sent a flying cap in a diagonal stab.
"Snapped!"
The ball was caught by Darrick Martin, and the Timberwolves counterattacked quickly.
But the Lakers' defense was also timely. The point guard stabilized the rhythm and passed the ball back to Garnett again.
The Wolf King didn't hesitate after receiving the ball from the high post. He feinted with his back, turned over and shot O'Neal in the face.
"Shh!"
Have it.
The Wolf King's shot was also slightly backward, and the release point was high. It was really difficult, and O'Neal was helpless.
"OMG, one block and one jump shot, Kevin beat Shaquille on both ends!"
"The Timberwolves are going strong against the visitors, and their lead is up to 12 points!"
Lin Fei followed his teammates on the bench and jumped up, cheering for the captain's wonderful performance and waving a towel.
"Knock Shaquille down, beat up Shaquille!"
After all, he has been sitting on the bench for a season, and Lin Fei's skills of waving the towel into 56 are top-notch in the team.
O'Neal angrily wanted to retaliate, but was blocked again on the offensive end. He walked to the free throw line angrily and made one of two free throws, gaining 1 point.
In the last minute of the third quarter, the Timberwolves still led by 1 points.
O'Neal was chopped off to the free throw line one after another, and he was a little confused, and his free throw percentage barely remained at 50%.
The more Kobe watched, the angrier he became. Even if O'Neal's free throws were half as good as Yao's, the Lakers wouldn't have played so sluggishly.
The "Zen Master" didn't dare to replace O'Neal. Malone had already been sent off. If the Sharks didn't guard the penalty area, the Lakers' basket would really be overturned by the Wolf King.
Phillip Sanders called a timeout at this time and was about to replace Lin Fei.
On the Lakers side, Fisher, who had been sitting on the bench for almost a whole quarter, was about to fall asleep. Seeing Lin Fei come on the court, he quickly cheered up.
I originally thought that guarding Lin Fei, who made 7 of 7 three-pointers in the whole game, was an important task, but Lin Fei only played 20 minutes in this game.
Fisher, who usually plays about 30 minutes as a substitute, has now been demoted.
You must know that for a team's main rotation player, playing time is the most important. It affects the player's overall data, which is directly linked to the value and interests.
But Lin Fei doesn't care about playing time, because his scoring efficiency is so terrible.
The old fish Fisher shook his head and sighed, no comparison, no comparison!
It was another cover run tactic in training, and Lin Fei also had a chance.
But the "Madman" was obviously too careless this time, and was intercepted by Kobe who was highly concentrated.
"Snapped!"
The Lakers counterattacked, and Kobe was fouled tactically by the madman and went to the free throw line and made two free throws.
At critical moments, Kobe's free throws have always been stable.
The third quarter has not yet ended, and Kobe has already scored 23 points, the highest in the game, but the situation of the Lakers is not optimistic.
The Timberwolves attacked. This time Lin Fei passed through the double screen and threw a fleeting opportunity at a 0-degree angle on the right side.
But the Wolf King didn't choose to risk passing the ball because he felt that there was a high chance of making a mistake.
Darrick Martin, who cuts to the basket, is obviously more reliable, receiving a pass from the Wolf King for a layup.
"Shh!"
Lin Fei didn't complain at all. The Wolf King chose a more reliable scoring method, and there was no problem.
Of course, the Wolf King is not a serious point guard. Lin Fei's opportunity in the corner is fleeting, and Devin George will quickly make up for it.
The requirement for long passes is very high, and the Wolf King may not be able to grasp it.
When the Lakers attacked, O'Neal's strong shot under the basket was blocked by Olowokandi. The basketball missed the basket and the Wolf King grabbed the rebound.
At this time, with only the last 2 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the Wolf King did not hesitate and chose to throw the ball to Lin Fei from the outside.
After receiving the ball, Lin Fei turned over and took a step. He stood two meters outside the three-point line at the top of his own arc. He saw that the timer on the opposite basket only had 1 second left.
Without any hesitation, he threw the basketball vigorously towards the basket 20 meters away.
shhhhhh!
The basketball drew a long arc in the air, spanning three-quarters of the court, and roared towards the opposite basket.
The Lakers fans at home had their eyes widened, held their breath, and their hearts stopped.
No, no, no, is it possible to enter here?
"Bang!"
The moment the red light on the steel backboard lights up,
The basketball hit the inside of the basket with great force, and after a few rapid laps, it still rolled out.
The 20,000 Lakers fans at home breathed a long sigh of relief, almost out of their minds with fear.
"My, God, Lin, he finally missed the shot!"
"It almost went in? Ward, this Lin's long-range shooting touch is really invincible!"
On the court, the players of the Lakers were also shocked by Lin Fei's buzzer.
If this goal is scored again, then the game really should not be played!
Wolf King, "Madman", and Sizebiak also rushed up to push Lin Fei and gave a thumbs up. The forest wolf seemed to be united:
"Lin, you can almost score a goal with any shot, I really belong to you!"
"It seems that the basket has become a sea of stars in your eyes!"
dallas.
In a luxurious private villa, the plasma TV in the living room on the second floor was showing Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals between the Timberwolves and the Lakers.
There is a fruit plate and brandy on the coffee table. Three NBA players, one black and two white, are sitting on the European leather sofa.
It is the troika of the Dallas Mavericks: Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash and Michael Finley.
This season, the Mavericks have a poor record, and the conflict between coach Don Nelson and owner Cuban has intensified.
The team was eliminated 4:1 by the Kings with Chris Webber in the first round of the playoffs.
Facts have proved that Cuban's insistence on introducing two All-Stars, Antawn Walker and Jamison, is a very failed deal.
The Mavericks are facing a major overhaul in the new season. Steve Nash's contract has expired and the renewal issue has not been negotiated for a long time.
Nash is a person who values friendship and has a good relationship with Nowitzki and Finley. Naturally, he is more inclined to stay with the Mavericks.
But Cuban's think tank made a big fuss about Nash's poor playoff performance and wanted to reduce his annual salary to $800 million.
Nash and his agent took this as an insult and have begun approaching new owners.
Michael Finley said: "If Cuban can sign Lin over in the offseason, it would be a very good deal. He will make our substitutes more dynamic!"
Nowitzki leaned on the sofa, his eyes were sunken, he put his fist to his mouth and coughed:
"Lin's three-pointer is indeed too accurate, but his movement feels too sharp and the Timberwolves' passer can't keep up with his rhythm!"
Nash's eyes were shining at this time, and he spoke with the insight of a top point guard:
"Lin actually ran out of good positions many times, but the Timberwolves don't have a passer who can match his off-ball ability!"
"If it were me, Lin would probably have hit 12 three-pointers by now!"
"Well, even more..."
