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

Chapter 277 Use your own strength to fight against the powerful!



Knicks (33): (38) Timberwolves.

Lin Fei scored 100 consecutive points in less than 10 seconds, directly beating the Timberwolves into a dilemma. Gerald Wallace, who was responsible for the main defense, felt ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

The nightmare of being beaten by Lin Fei for 75 points at home in the regular season and reversing the loss seemed to have quietly descended on the Target Center Arena again.

As the leader of the Wolves, "Wolf King" Garnett was obviously a little angry. After reaching the high position in the frontcourt, he once again asked Arroyo for the ball, and directly made a big jumper in the face of Eddie Curry.

"Bang!"

The ball missed, but the rebound was once again taken by Artest who was actively fighting for it. The latter attacked Randolph but was slapped to the ground by the Black Bear.

"Snapped!"

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and Randolph's shooting hitter was fouled. Artest stood up from the ground and stared at Randolph expressionlessly. At this time, silence was louder than sound.

Randolph was completely at a disadvantage in terms of speed and agility. He had been thrown away by Artest many times in the opening game, and he did not have much advantage in physical confrontation, so he was naturally depressed.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Artest, who stepped to the free throw line, was quite steady and made both free throws.

Looking back, this time Lin Fei dribbled away from Wallace without stepping on the shooting rhythm point. Seeing Artest viciously swooping up to double-team, he quickly distributed the ball to Randolph in the high post on the right.

Randolph took a wide open shot from mid-range, and the basketball hit the net.

"Shh!"

Randolph is still very confident in this position tonight, having already scored 4 points on 3-of-6 shooting.

The main players of the Timberwolves are getting more and more irritable. Regarding Lin Fei's singles from a long distance, it is not a double-team or not, it is poison on both sides.

Garnett's serve when he retreated from the baseline was a little impatient and careless. He passed the ball to Arroyo on the left, completely unaware that Marbury beside him did not retreat to the backcourt.

"Snapped!"

In the crisp sound, relying on his richer experience, Marbury went directly to complete the flying steal. This was a sudden frontcourt steal that instantly messed up the situation on the court.

Lin Fei reacted quickly and quickly rushed into the frontcourt, running back and leaving Gerald Wallace behind.

Facing Kevin Garnett guarding the basket, Marbury made a fake shot during the breakthrough and passed the ball accurately to Lin Fei, who cut in from the right.

Lin Fei took the ball and stepped into the penalty area. He jumped into the air and faced Kevin Garnett who turned around to defend. During the process of staying in the air, he changed hands with the lever, avoiding the block and throwing the ball towards the basket.

"Shh!"

The basketball hit the board and bounced on the side of the basket, then fell steadily into the net.

"omg, this is a very wonderful pull-up layup. Lin's touch during the process of staying in the air is really soft!"

Under Marbury's sudden steal, the Knicks went on a 4-0 spurt, narrowing the point difference to 3 points.

Knicks (37): (40) Timberwolves.

Timberwolves coach Kevin McHale, who was standing on the sidelines, obviously felt the mental imbalance of the main players, so he quickly called another long timeout.

On the timer, the time was fixed at 7 minutes and 05 seconds of the second quarter.

The Timberwolves fans at home were also stunned. Originally, they were leading by double digits in the second quarter. The advantage was visible to the naked eye. They were better than the Knicks in terms of shooting percentage and rebounds.

But less than 3 minutes after Lin Fei came on the court, the situation suddenly changed. Lin Fei made three unreasonable and unreasonable three-pointers in a row, plus a hard-fought two-time dpoy's pull-bar layup.

With his single-handed madness, he completely disrupted the Timberwolves' defensive system.

In front of the courtside commentary desk, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith also looked very excited.

"Lin's explosion came too timely. What's important is not that he scored 12 points in a row, but that the Timberwolves' defensive system was greatly tested tonight! The players' mentality will also change accordingly!"

"Charles is right. The Timberwolves' defense has tried its best, but it still can't withstand a perverted shooter with an eight-power scope!"

"Lin continued to play singles two or three steps in front of the logo area, which made it impossible for the Timberwolves to double-team. Once double-teamed, it would give the Knicks a favorable opportunity to form a 4-on-3 inside the three-point line!"

"If Lin's super long three-pointers can really keep scoring, then I think no matter how strong the Timberwolves are, they will eventually lose the game, because no matter how sharp the sword is, it can't withstand the heat of the weapon!"

On the sidelines of the Timberwolves, McHale looked solemn and warned Gerald Wallace's defensive ideas in a cold voice:

"Gerrard, don't be scared by Lin's super long three-pointer. Even God can't be so accurate in the whole game, otherwise we should have surrendered long ago!"

"Next, when he plays singles 10 meters away from the basket, try not to get too close, otherwise it will give him a chance to easily break through. If he wants to shoot from this position, then try to provide interference as much as possible. Come on, let him shoot!"

"Only when he reaches the top of the three-point arc, Ron or Ray will quickly step forward to double-team him. We must not give him a chance to take an easy shot!"

"We must make the defense work, be decisive in double-teaming, switch defenses quickly, and provide enough physical confrontation. Remember this is the finals, and remember that defense wins the championship!"

Under McHale's sonorous and powerful instruction, the Timberwolves generals also rekindled their fighting spirit.

Kevin Garnett clenched his fists and looked resolutely, instantly letting go of his annoyance and rekindling his fighting spirit.

The head coach is right. If Lin Fei could accurately hit every long-range three-pointer, there would be no need to play in this finals.

Lin Fei is not terrible, nor is his three-point shot. Only by overcoming fear can we win the game.

What's more, haven't the Timberwolves always been in the lead from the beginning of the game to now?

The Timberwolves, who came back from the timeout quickly and re-established their mental construction, once again showed championship-level impact on the offensive end.

Carlos Arroyo, who had a low presence from the beginning, used the Wolf King's pick-and-roll from the outside to get rid of Marbury. After an emergency stop, he directly raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Also hit.

The Timberwolves are truly united tonight. Even if Lin Fei has a series of superb scoring performances, the Timberwolves are always in the lead.

After the ball possession transition, after being inspired by McHale, Gerald Wallace also learned to be smarter when defending Lin Fei's long outside position, and his defensive efficiency increased significantly.

In the past few defenses, Gerald Wallace was afraid that Lin Fei would take action and cause psychological tension. If he stayed close, it would be easier for Lin Fei to get rid of him with his top dribbling tricks. But now he simply let Lin Fei go to a certain extent. It was a very difficult shot from a long distance. After the pressure subsided, the defense became better.

"Whoosh!"

Sure enough, Lin Fei's sudden shot after breaking away from the outside this time finally missed due to the effective interference of the defender.

"Bang!"

Zach Randolph knocked down Ron Artest while fighting for a rebound, and was called a rebound foul by the referee.

The ball was given to the Timberwolves, and the rhythm of the game returned to the home team's side.

Throughout the first half, the Timberwolves stabilized the situation and regained a 10-point lead.

Knicks (51): (61) Timberwolves.

Lin Fei's performance in the second quarter was already superb. He still shot 8 of 5 three-pointers under tight defense. He scored 21 points in a single quarter and also contributed 1 steal on the defensive end.

But the Knicks' biggest problem lies in defense and rebounding, giving the Timberwolves too many easy scoring and secondary offensive opportunities.

Lin Fei strangled his opponent Ray Allen throughout the first half, allowing him to score only 5 points. However, in other positions, the Knicks' defense was completely unable to stop the Timberwolves' offense, especially the Wolves' forward. The trio, plus Szebiak on the bench.

“狼王”上半场充分展现出了领袖风采,高效轰下13分7篮板3助攻2封盖2抢断,在低位单防埃迪·库里的强打时同样效果不错。

Gerald Wallace and Ron Artest also scored in double figures at halftime, and Szebiak contributed 8 points off the bench.

The Timberwolves scored 61 points in the first half, which fully exposed that the Knicks' defense was far from matching the intensity of the finals.

Eddie Curry and Zach Randolph received 2 and 3 fouls respectively in the first half, and the Knicks were already in foul trouble inside.

During the halftime break, Isaiah Thomas also emphasized rebounding in the locker room and suggested that the team's defense operate more flexibly in the second half to put enough pressure on the Timberwolves.

After the start of the third quarter, Lin Fei switched to off-ball mode for his first attack, using the elevator door of Eddie Curry and Zach Randolph, two big meat shields.

He found an opportunity at the familiar 0-degree angle on the left, received Marbury's precise pass after an instant breakthrough, and hit a three-pointer with his hand.

"Shh!"

the seventh.

Lin Fei in off-ball mode is obviously more difficult to defend than with the ball, but it also tests the quality of coverage and passing skills of his Knicks teammates.

Looking back, Lin Fei decisively moved forward to double-team Garnett, who was holding the ball in the low post. However, Garnett was very alert and accurately distributed the ball to Ray Allen, who was positioned on the outside.

The latter bent his bow and arrow outside the familiar 45-degree three-point line on the right side, and also hit the three-pointer with his raised hand.

"Shh!"

After all, Lin Fei's quick counterattack could not quench his thirst from far away, and he paid the price for his risky double-teaming.

Garnett's support was accurate, Ray Allen's three-pointer sealed his throat, and the entire Timberwolves team shared the same hatred, making Lin Fei feel the terrifying cohesion of this team.

"Although Ray didn't have many shooting opportunities tonight, his accuracy is quite high. So far, he's made 4 of 3 shots and scored 8 points efficiently!"

"As expected of the Timberwolves, who have gone through the tiebreaker in the Western Conference finals. So far, the Knicks' overall strength gap is quite obvious!"

"Without Lin's superb performance in the second quarter, the game might have collapsed by now!"

In the next few offenses and defenses, the shooting percentages of the two teams finally dropped. In the frequent battles, the Timberwolves, who had the advantage of rebounding, once again had the upper hand in the game.

Although Eddie Curry and Zach Randolph both have All-Star level offensive capabilities, they both have the same weakness, which is that they generally have no talent in rebounding.

Eddie Curry has only averaged 5.2 rebounds per game in his career. It is hard to imagine that this is the rebounding data contributed by a 2.13-meter-tall center.

Although after Lin Fei's arrival, Eddie Curry's enthusiasm in training and games has increased significantly, and his average rebounds per game this season has also increased to about 8.

But in this finals where the bayonet was red, Eddie Curry still fell into a passive position in the battle for rebounds.

Zach Randolph's career average of 9 rebounds per game is not bad, but tonight in the matchup with "The Beast" Artest, the Black Bears were completely crushed in terms of speed and agility.

在一波长达5分钟的打铁大战中,森林狼贡献了12:5的碾压式篮板优势,二次进攻得分6:0,领先的比分也扩大到了17分。

Among them, during a positional battle attack, the Timberwolves, with the cooperation of Garnett, Artest and Gerrard, grabbed 4 offensive rebounds in a row and directly penetrated the Knicks inside.

Lin Fei couldn't help but angrily punched and cursed, expressing his dissatisfaction with the enthusiasm of his teammates inside to grab rebounds.

Knicks coach Isaiah Thomas on the sidelines quickly called a long timeout, cursed directly at Eddie Curry and Randolph who were walking off the court, pushed Randolph to the bench, and angrily Replaced by David Lee.

But the situation of the game did not improve. The whole Timberwolves team played really crazy tonight. Everyone seemed to be on a high, as if they had endless energy.

At 1 minute and 19 seconds into the third quarter of the game, Szebiak's three-pointer from the bottom corner missed the frame. Several inside players were wrestling under the basket, but a sharp figure flew up from the diagonal stab.

He jumped up directly to grab the rebound and completed an entertaining flying dunk.

"Boom!"

Who is this person? It's Ray Allen!

Ray Allen's putback dunk came out of the blue and stunned the entire Knicks team.

Where did this guy come from?

After landing, Ray Allen beat his chest and roared, catering to the carnival of the Timberwolves fans at the scene. He turned over and shouted at Lin Fei:

"Lin, you will lose tonight!"

Lin Fei, who was left outside the penalty area, had a solemn expression on his face. The Timberwolves and the rest of them had collectively taken stimulants tonight!

Knicks (68): (89) Timberwolves.

With Ray Allen's flying dunk, the Timberwolves' lead directly expanded to 21 points, and they were about to be defeated in G1 of the finals.

Lin Fei was obviously a little anxious. He took the ball directly from the backcourt and advanced, using David Lee's pick-and-roll to accelerate and break through. He passed Gerald Wallace and Ray Allen in succession and flew into the penalty area to the basket.

Facing Kevin Garnett's central position, he made an emergency stop and then made a realistic fake shot to successfully deceive the Wolf King's defense. Then he turned around with his non-pivot foot along the outside and jumped up to shoot a small throw. cast.

The basketball bounced on the rim twice, and finally fell firmly into the bag.

"Shh!"

A very difficult classic breakthrough, but this was only Lin Fei's second sports game score at the basket tonight, which shows how tightly the Timberwolves defended Lin Fei's layup.

Garnett, who had been deceived, shook his head helplessly after landing. In his opinion, Lin Feixin's breakthrough level was already higher than that of Kobe, Iverson and Wade. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in the league.

Since the Eastern Conference finals, Lin Fei's layup attribute has been stuck at 98 points. It is very difficult to improve this last point.

The Timberwolves, who were leading by a big score, seemed to have begun to relax a bit in energy. Gerald Wallace's high post shot was decisively double-teamed by Lin Fei to steal the ball. The Knicks finally got another fast break opportunity.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei changed direction and passed two people during the counterattack and fast break. After finding the rhythm, he chased from a long distance and shot a three-pointer through the heart.

"Shh!"

Ninth.

With Lin Fei scoring 5 points in a row, his personal score tonight also reached 41 points, leading the game.

However, the Knicks' disadvantages are still obvious. Marbury and Randolph's shooting percentages also began to decline in the second half. Just relying on Lin Fei's explosion, it is only theoretically possible to defeat the Timberwolves who are in hot form.

After three quarters, the Knicks trailed the Timberwolves by 17 points, and the situation was quite unfavorable.

After the last quarter of the game started, Lin Fei was not allowed to rest and continued to fight.

Lin Fei has played 33 minutes in the first three quarters. If he plays the entire final quarter, his playing time tonight will reach 45 minutes, which will also create a new high for personal playing time in a single game.

You must know that through scientific training of physical fitness in the past few seasons, Lin Fei's endurance has improved greatly compared to his rookie season. It is not a problem to play 40 minutes in each game.

But if it exceeds 40 minutes, physical fitness will still fluctuate significantly, which will affect shooting percentage and defensive efficiency.

Even though the Timberwolves led by 17 points in the final quarter, Kevin McHale still maintained a cautious attitude and let Ray Allen, Gerald Wallace and Szebiak play as substitutes in the final quarter. The Wolf King and Artest were just taking a short rest.

Even when facing the veteran Spurs in the Western Conference finals, McHale has never been so cautious, but now it is completely different. With Lin Fei who has 35 seconds and 16 points, let alone a 17-point lead in the final quarter, even 27 points are not enough. Insurance.

If Lin Fei goes crazy and the Timberwolves make a slight mistake, they may be nailed to the pillar of shame in the NBA Finals forever.

Sure enough, Lin Fei broke out quickly, using the pick-and-roll on the offensive end to break into the penalty area. Taking advantage of Garnett's absence, he faced substitute center Olowokandi and jumped sideways to reverse the basket.

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

Olowokandi's defense was obviously too big on this ball, and he was directly charged with a foul.

2+1.

Olowokandi spread his hands, looked into Lin Fei's eyes, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Although they are now rivals on the field, Olowokandi has always admired Lin Fei privately.

If it hadn't been for Lin Fei's influence back then, he wouldn't have continued to hold a $500 million contract now, and he might have even retired and gone bankrupt.

"Shh!"

Lin Fei, who stepped to the free throw line, made an additional free throw and scored 3 points successfully.

The ball changed, and Szebiak hit David Lee with his back, and made a solid jump shot after turning over.

"Shh!"

Szebiak's wife, Shannon Ward, and their two daughters, who were sitting in the front row on the sidelines, also laughed and clapped.

Now Szebiak's eldest daughter has grown to 9 years old, and her big amber eyes are like a beauty.

But what makes Szebiak feel helpless is that the eldest daughter is not a fan of him, but a fan of Lin Fei and the Knicks.

Looking back, Lin Fei continued to use Eddie Curry's pick-and-roll from the outside to break into the basket, attracting Olowokandi to cover up. At the same time, he hit the ground without looking at anyone, and Eddie Curry came directly from the right. He jumped up with the ball and delivered a shark dunk.

"Boom!"

Without the "Wolf King" guarding the basket, the low-end version of Olowokandi was instantly full of holes on the defensive end. Lin Fei was able to score 3 points and 1 assist.

The Timberwolves encountered trouble in their next attack. Gerald Wallace's breakthrough layup was successfully interfered by Lin Fei, who was assisting in defense. David Lee grabbed the defensive rebound.

"Snapped!"

Lin Fei caught the ball and quickly launched a counterattack. He stepped on the accelerator while running, changed the in+out direction to get rid of the pursuing Ray Allen, took a step across the center line, completely stepped on the rhythm point, jumped directly on horseback and shot an arrow, sending him to half court. A super long three-pointer.

The basketball streaked through the air like a meteor, whizzing toward the basket.

"Shh!"

The tenth.

With the precise guidance of this half-court chasing three-pointer, Lin Fei's personal score quickly soared to 46 points tonight, plus 9 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

Driven by Lin Fei's 6 points and 1 assist, the SuperSonics also quickly caught up to 11 points.

On the timer, there are 10 minutes and 09 seconds left in the final quarter.

McHale did not dare to neglect and immediately chose to call a long timeout. Garnett and Artest also took off their jackets and quickly stood up from the bench.

In this crucial first game of the finals, the Timberwolves at home absolutely cannot lose.

"Mygod! 47 points, less than two minutes into the final quarter. Lin's score tonight has already reached 47 points. It seems that if nothing else happens, it will be another 50+ finals game!"

"In last season's Finals between the Heat and the Mavericks, Lin scored 50+ points twice in a single game and had an epic Finals performance. This was also the key to his ability to finally defeat Dwayne and win the FMVP,"

"Among them, Lin's 3 points in a single game in G51 of the finals is also Lin's single-game scoring record in the finals!"

"Judging from tonight's situation, Lin has a great chance to break the single-game scoring record in this finals!"

"But if the Knicks want to reverse the game, it will obviously be much more difficult than breaking the 51-point record!"
