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

Isaiah Thomas chose to call the team's last long timeout in regular time, and a tense atmosphere filled every corner of the Target Center Arena.

After the timeout, the Knicks still had a small lineup with four big players, and Lin Fei was responsible for serving from the frontcourt sideline.

Gerrard stood on the sidelines waving his arms, interfering with Lin Fei's serve, while the other four Timberwolves players marked each other.

After a series of complex top-of-arc screens, Ariza used a screen from Randolph on the left free throw line to speed up and cut into the penalty area. The misplaced Garnett quickly pursued to the basket.

Randolph also quickly withdrew, and David Lee set up another cover, quickly approaching the direction where Lin Fei was serving.

On the Timberwolves side, Szebiak and Artest immediately chased Randolph, leaving David Lee at the top of the key in an open area.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei's pass was just right. When it was given to David Lee, he quickly rushed sideways into the field and went to the outside to the midfield logo area.

David Lee quickly turned around and gave the ball back to Lin Fei.

Facing the rapid double-teaming of Gerald Wallace and Artest, Lin Fei used Randolph's pick-and-roll to change direction and accelerate the breakthrough.

"Whoosh!"

Artest's pressing movement was obviously too big, and Lin Fei staggered directly into him, almost making a dribbling error.

However, Lin Fei also took advantage of the situation and reached the three-point line. After getting rid of the two men, he rushed straight into the penalty area and watched Garnett guarding the basket while Artest and Gerrard behind him also pressed forward.

It's obviously meant to catch a turtle in a urn.

Lin Fei had no way to retreat, so he winked at Ariza on the left side of the basket, faced Kevin Garnett with a European step, jumped into the air on his right side, and faced Kevin Garnett who raised his arms high and did not take off easily. garnett,

After the extreme pull, he made a wonderful pass from behind, and the ball was accurately passed to Ariza behind Garnett.

Ariza roared after catching the ball, jumped up with both hands, and slammed them down towards the basket.

Garnett's pupils dilated rapidly, never expecting that Lin Fei could pass such an elusive ball.

Feeling the sound of the wind behind Ariza's sudden leap, Garnett knew that it would be too late for him to turn over and block the shot.

"Whoosh!"

However, Artest, who quickly caught up in the middle, suddenly took off like a beast, and with his big steel-like hands, he slammed down the basketball that Ariza was about to dunk into the basket.

"Bang!"

"Beep!"

Although the basketball was dunked, Artest's block clearly hit Ariza's wrist. The referee's whistle sounded, and Artest's shooting hand was called for a foul.

Ariza, who fell to the ground, had a slightly painful expression on his face. Artest's block and impact were obviously more powerful this time.

Looking down at Ariza who fell to the ground, Artest spread his hands and made a helpless gesture: "It's normal to play a little ball!"

Randolph pushed Artest when he came up. Lin Fei quickly stopped the black bear, and the two sides almost clashed again.

Artest, who had already received 5 fouls, was also on the verge of being sent off, but the game had reached the final moment, and the advantage was still with the Timberwolves.

Ariza, who walked to the free throw line, rubbed his wrists, took a deep breath, and shot the free throw steadily.

"Bang!"

The first free throw failed to hit. At the critical moment, Ariza, who was knocked down, did seem to be feeling a little uncomfortable.

Lin Fei was the first to go up and high-five Ariza, while also patting him on the shoulder to encourage him.

When young players experience a competition at the level of the finals, they will always have moments of nervousness and poor performance. This is an indispensable experience for any star in the process of growing up.

"Shh!"

Fortunately, Ariza's second free throw finally came, retaining the last hope for the Knicks' reversal.

Knicks (101): (106) Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Garnett held the ball high to continue stalling for time.

Tonight, Garnett has sent out 6 assists and only made 3 turnovers.

Therefore, when he was holding the ball in a high position, the Knicks players, including Lin Fei, no longer dared to double-team easily.

Seeing that the 24-second attack time was running out, Garnett took a decisive shot from the high post, but due to overdraft in his body and Randolph's interference, his aim was finally a little off.

"Bang!"

The basketball missed and everyone huddled under the basket. Artest once again grabbed the offensive rebound, pushed away Ariza, tilted his body and shot a jumper.

Ariza failed to stop the ball in his first attempt. He saw the basketball flying towards the basket, but from the diagonal thrust, a graceful figure leaped into the air, and his long arm was unsheathed and swung down like a sword from heaven.

"Snapped!"

who is it? It's Lin Fei!

Lin Fei's flying shot was so powerful that the basketball was directly slapped on Artest's face. Artest's nose immediately became sore, and two lines of warm blood came out of his nostrils. .

Artest landed on the ground with a confused face, covering his bloody nose, his head buzzing.

The referee's whistle did not sound. This time, the basketball bounced into David Lee's hands first. The opponent quickly gave the ball to Lin Fei, who was about to turn over.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei, who had delivered a huge blow to the sky, kept speeding up. After stepping on the accelerator and crossing the center line, he faced Gerald Wallace who was chasing behind him and Ray Allen who was overtaking from the right corner.

While traveling, he changed directions in an in+out manner. After removing his inertia, he suddenly stopped and retreated, leaving the distance between him and the defender. He jumped decisively about one meter outside the right three-point line.

Lightning takes action and shoots another one.

"Shh!"

The tenth.

The moment the basketball hit the net, there was a wonderful splash, and the entire Target Center Arena fell into silence once again.

Lin Fei, who landed the shot, always maintained the posture of shooting. Facing Ray Allen, he raised his eyebrows slightly and responded calmly:

"Ray, this is what a three-pointer should look like!"

Ariza, who followed up, punched and roared, turned around and shouted at Artest, who was catching up with his nose covered, and gave a beautiful reply:

"When it comes to playing ball, some movements are quite normal!"

Artest resisted the urge to rush forward and punch Ariza directly. He covered his nose and looked up to see the time on the timer. There was only the last 1 minute and 02 seconds left in the final quarter.

Knicks (104): (106) Timberwolves.

If we persist for the last minute, this damn finals will be over, and the championship will definitely belong to the Timberwolves.

But Artest still couldn't help but feel shocked. Is Lin Fei still a human being?

"Mygod! 55 points, Lin has already scored 55 points tonight, and the Knicks have recovered the point difference again!"

"On the defensive end, he chased Ron Artest, who was blocked, and on the offensive end, he used a one-versus-two lateral move to take a long three-pointer. Lin was truly omnipotent in this round of the Finals, but he alone Can we finally defeat the entire Timberwolves team with strength?"

"But we can be sure that no matter who the final champion is, Lin's performance in this finals is definitely the strongest single-round finals performance in NBA history, bar none!"

In the stands on the second floor, Director Zhang’s voice was trembling with excitement at this time, and his sunken eye sockets seemed to be shining with tears:

"Lin Fei has accomplished a miracle that Jordan, Magic and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar have never accomplished. He is the well-deserved MVP of this finals!"

"A Chinese player is charging through all obstacles on the court in the NBA Finals. At this moment, Lin Fei's performance has surpassed basketball and sports itself. The sick man of East Ya has completely stood up!"

On the Chinese side, hundreds of millions of Chinese fans could not help but burst into tears in front of the TV. The shock of this moment was unparalleled.

"Wow, Fei is really carrying the team forward alone. If Marbury and Eddie Curry were here now, the Knicks would have been ahead!"

"Unknowingly, it's 10 more three-pointers. Lin Fei's three-pointers really have a kind of magic, especially the chasing three-pointers, which always make people's hearts beat!"

"With a 2-point difference, isn't this an opportunity? As long as we defend well and don't let the Timberwolves score, we will definitely have a chance to complete the victory!"

"Lin Fei has played for 45 minutes tonight. Woo hoo hoo, he is like a god. The Knicks will win!"

"We really can't ask Fei Ge to do more. No matter who the final champion is, Fei Ge is the only FMVP in my mind!"

Looking back at the Target Center Arena, the team doctor performed a simple hemostasis on Artest. After the timeout, the Timberwolves served the ball from the frontcourt sideline.

On the timer, in the last 1 minute and 02 seconds, both teams had no long timeouts, leaving only a short timeout of 20 seconds each.

After all, the Timberwolves' forward advantage overwhelmed the Knicks. The ball was still given to Kevin Garnett in the high post, and Ray Allen contained Lin Fei's defense on the outside.

Gerald Wallace and Artest also spaced the floor.

Garnett faced Zach Randolph in front of the frame and faced David Lee who was defending him under the basket. His strong body suddenly jumped up, crushing him in height, jumping, explosive power and wingspan. David Lee.

"Whoosh!"

When the Wolf King soared to the commanding heights, his chest directly pressed against David Lee's face, he grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it above his head, and delivered a violent dunk from the front.

"Boom!"

Amidst the loud noise, Zach Randolph rushed up from behind and rounded up his defensive hand to slap Kevin Garnett hard on the chin.

"boom!"

Garnett, who was dunking on David Lee, was stunned by Randolph's slap. Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground with his head tilted.

"Beep!"

Referee Dick Bavetta quickly blew the whistle, indicating that Garnett's dunk was valid for two points, and at the same time Zach Randolph fouled the shooter.

The tense atmosphere filled every corner of the stadium. Timberwolves fans in the auditoriums on all sides jumped up from their seats, waving their fists and cheering for the "Wolf King"'s risk-taking dunk. shout.

On the high-definition four-sided screen above his head, the entire process of Garnett's face-to-face breakthrough against David Lee was constantly replayed, and Randolph's block and slap in the chase were also clearly displayed.

"omg, great job Kevin, that dunk is so awesome, Timberwolves championship, Timberwolves championship!"

"Our Wolf King finally stepped up again at a critical moment! In the last 45 seconds, the Timberwolves are only 45 seconds away from winning the second championship in team history!"

"Kevin looked in pain when he fell to the ground. How much force did Zach Randolph use? This action should be directly called a second-level criminal and expelled!"

"Zach definitely aimed at people on purpose. Kevin wouldn't have been directly hit by him and suffered a concussion, right?"

"The referee's call is obviously biased in favor of the Knicks. Even if it is not a second-level criminal, it is at least a first-level criminal!"

"Well done to the Wolf King, the eternal spiritual totem of the Timberwolves. Isn't that bloody dunk just now more shocking than Lin's super long three-pointer?"

Many fans inside and outside the court were cheering for joy. The bravery and toughness shown by Garnett's dunk are the foundation of the Timberwolves' small team's tenacious struggle in the league.

Garnett fell to the ground dizzy, with blood pouring from the corners of his mouth. His two front teeth were knocked out by Randolph's slap, and the blood mixed with it was spat out by the Wolf King into his palm.

The game was suspended, and the team doctor quickly trotted onto the court to check Garnett's injury.

At the same time, Randolph also received his sixth foul tonight and was directly ejected.

Randolph had some personal grudges just now, and it would not be an exaggeration to give him a flagrant foul.

Seeing Randolph walking towards the tunnel, many Timberwolves fans around him began to shout insults.

Isaiah Thomas has no choice but to replace Quentin Richardson.

"With the departure of Zach Randolph, three of the Knicks' starting five tonight have been sent off. This shows how intense the game is!"

"Being trailing by 45 points in the last 4 seconds, and then Kevin Garnett made an extra penalty, the chance of Lin and the Knicks' reversal has become increasingly slim!"

After a quick examination by the team doctor, Kevin Garnett showed signs of mild concussion, and it stands to reason that he cannot play for the rest of the game.

But Garnett gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground and insisted on walking to the free throw line.

The Target Center Arena became solemn at this moment, and nearly 20,000 fans in the auditorium on all sides stood up and shouted "mvp" for the Wolf King.

"Bang!"

"Snapped!"

The Wolf King failed to hit the extra penalty this time, but the Timberwolves' inside advantage was already overwhelming. Artest flew up to grab the offensive rebound and quickly passed it back to Szebiak on the outside.

The significance of this offensive rebound can be said to be greater than that of a free throw. With only more than 40 seconds left in the game, the Timberwolves once again had the opportunity to waste time.

Because according to NBA rules, after the offensive team grabs an offensive rebound, the attack time is changed to 14 seconds. However, if the offensive rebound is grabbed after a free throw, the attack time is still 24 seconds.

Artest's offensive rebound allowed the Timberwolves to regain 24 seconds of attack time. Even if they failed to score, as long as these 24 seconds could be consumed smoothly, there would only be the last 21 seconds of the game.

With the Timberwolves leading by 4 points, it can basically be said that they have a chance to win.

The Knicks had no time to waste anymore. Ariza quickly rushed up to press Szebiak who was holding the ball. Szebiak passed the ball to Garnett at the top of the key.

Lin Fei also chose to let go of Ray Allen at this time, and quickly rushed forward to steal the basketball from Garnett's hand.

"Whoosh!"

Garnett passed the ball to Gerald Wallace, who came up to meet him, but the ball was not passed well and was touched by Lin Fei, who had quick eyes and quick hands.

Garnett, who was already a bit groggy, gritted his teeth and ignored the situation. Seeing the basketball jumping from his side, he flew forward and competed with Lin Fei for the ball.

"boom!"

At this moment, Lin Fei felt the same infinite desire for the championship in Garnett.

Although Garnett's behavior of trash-talking Marbury tonight was a bit excessive, it is undeniable that Garnett has always been a rare superstar in the NBA.

Under Garnett's diving save, the basketball once again flew into the hands of Szebiak on the outside.

Szebiak made a long diagonal pass, and the ball quickly flew to Ray Allen's hands outside the three-point line at a 30-degree angle on the right.

Ray Allen was completely in a wide open space at this time, leaping up without mercy, and decisively shot the three-pointer.

The moment Ray Allen made a three-pointer, the hearts of the Knicks players on and off the court instantly went cold.

"Bang!"

However, Ray Allen missed the three-pointer, and the long backboard bounced right in front of Lin Fei.

At this time, the time on the timer has reached the last 20 seconds of the last quarter.

Lin Fei thought that after getting this rebound, he quickly turned over and hit the ball. If he could hit a chasing shot from a long distance, the Knicks could recover the point difference to only 1 point. There was still a chance.

however……

"Snapped!"

Gerald Wallace, who flew out halfway, tried his best to grab another offensive rebound before Lin Fei.

Gerald Wallace's offensive rebound can be said to have sentenced the Knicks to death in advance.

Lin Fei felt that this was a joke played by God on him. The rebound was clearly in front of him, but why couldn't he grab it?

Just when Lin Fei wanted to rush forward and grab the rebound first, he always felt that there was a force restricting him.

The attribute of 0 rebounds ultimately cost Lin Fei a huge price. Lin Fei has experienced this feeling of powerlessness many times in previous games, which is also the biggest reason why his rebounding data has always been poor.

But this time tonight,

Just this time,

But it was destined to be something Lin Fei would never forget.

Gerald Wallace, who once again grabbed an offensive rebound, avoided Lin Fei's pressing attack and gave the ball back to Szebiak on the outside.

Szebiak feinted at Ariza, who took another step outside the three-point line.

"Bang!"

The basketball still missed, but this time the offensive rebound was grabbed by Kevin Garnett.

"Snapped!"

The Knicks, who were originally not as strong as the Timberwolves inside, had their rebounds completely blown away by the Timberwolves at the last moment when Eddie Curry and Zach Randolph were ejected.

When Garnett grabbed this rebound, the time on the timer had only the last 0 minutes and 13 seconds left.

The attack time overlapped with the final time of the final quarter, and Knicks and Lin Fei had no way to retreat.

"Oh my god, absolutely no one could have imagined that the final moments of the Finals tiebreaker would be like this? In the last 45 seconds of the final quarter, the Timberwolves had grabbed three consecutive offensive rebounds, starting with Kevin Garnett's free throw. !”

The time on the timer passed by seconds, and soon came to the last 12 seconds, 11 seconds, 10 seconds...

Lin Fei could only rush forward and give Kevin Garnett a tactical foul, but it was of little significance.

At the same time, this is also the fifth foul Lin Fei has received tonight.

"Shh!"

Garnett stepped to the free throw line and enjoyed the cheers from the sky, making a solid first free throw.

Knicks (104): (109) Timberwolves.

The "Wolf King"'s eyes were burning with hot fire. He was only 10 seconds away from winning the second championship in his career.

"Bang!"

Garnett missed the second free throw and was scrambled under the basket. The offensive rebound was once again taken by Artest.

"Snapped!"

For Knicks and Lin Fei, this must be an extremely desperate moment.

The opponent grabbed four offensive rebounds in a row...

This finals tie-break is destined to become an extraordinary memory in the hearts of fans of both teams.

The young David Lee was also a little angry. He only felt a burning pain on his face. The faces of the Knicks insiders were completely exposed to the world tonight.

"Beep!"

In the impatience of the fight, David Lee also knocked down Artest who had the ball in his hand. The referee did not turn a blind eye to this obvious foul because of the last moment, and the harsh whistle sounded again.

Artest, who was holding the basketball, roared to the sky and bumped chests with the Wolf King who rushed up to celebrate.

Some Knicks star fans in the front row on the sidelines also covered their faces with their hands, completely helpless.

Lin Fei, who was physically exhausted, also sat down on the court floor, leaving behind a lonely and helpless figure.

Lin Fei never thought that the shortcomings of basketball attributes would be infinitely magnified in the last 10 seconds of the finals tiebreaker and be forever remembered by hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

But this is basketball, this is competitive sports, and uncertain factors will always be around us.

The Target Center Arena was in the most frenzied excitement, and the Timberwolves substitute players in the front row had already begun to embrace and celebrate in advance.

Head coach McHale's eyes sparkled and he high-fived several assistant coaches one by one.

After three years, the Timberwolves are finally reaching the top of the NBA again.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Artest was very stable when he stepped to the free throw line and made both free throws, completely killing the Knicks' chance of a comeback.

Knicks (104): (111) Timberwolves.

With a 7-point difference, only the last 5.2 seconds were left on the timer.

There has never been a miracle in the history of the NBA that can reverse more than 5 points or tie in the last 7 seconds. Maybe there will be in the future, but it will hardly be tonight.

The Knicks had one final 20-second timeout, but Isaiah Thomas felt there was no need to call anymore.

Visiting team locker room.

The room had been smashed into a mess by Marbury, Eddy Curry and Randolph, but the three of them were sitting on the bed blankly, facing the live game on the TV, their expressions dull. And sluggish.

The Timberwolves adopted a full-court press, and the ball was passed to Ariza with difficulty. At this time, Lin Fei was surrounded and flanked by Gerald Wallace and Artest.

Lin Fei no longer had the energy to run. He bent down and leaned on his knees with his hands. He raised his head with sweat on his face and suddenly smiled at Artest and Gerald Wallace. He said calmly:

"You win this time! I can't run anymore!"

The moment he finished speaking, Lin Fei moved like a rabbit. He didn't know where the strength came from, and he suddenly rushed out from the surroundings of the two people and rushed straight to the front.

"Whoosh!"

Ariza knocked away Ray Allen and threw the basketball forward.

Lin Fei just happened to catch the flying basketball after stepping over the logo in the center circle. Facing the basket 12 meters away and the last second of time on the timer,

The fighting spirit in his eyes was still burning, and he threw the basketball in his hand while riding a horse and archery.

"Champion, see you next year!"

……

Flowers and ribbons were flying in the sky above the target center, and 6000 colorful balloons were released outside the arena. After all, the embarrassing history of the Lakers did not repeat itself again.

Joy has swept through Minneapolis, and tonight, the city will not sleep.

The championship banner from the 03-04 season on the roof of the stadium will no longer be alone. The Timberwolves, founded in 1989, have already won their second championship in only 18 seasons in team history.

在nba的历史上，森林狼的两冠已经追平了马刺、尼克斯、热火和活塞等球队，仅次于凯尔特人（16）、湖人（14）、公牛（6）、勇士（3）和费城76人（3）。

On the makeshift podium in the center of the stadium, the Timberwolves players all wore championship baseball caps and T-shirts. Kevin Garnett, standing in the center, enjoyed the cheers from the audience. Turn received the O'Brien Trophy.

11位评委在迅速进行总决赛mvp的投票，虽然森林狼拿到了总冠军，凯文·加内特七场比赛的场均27分16篮板6助攻4封盖更是全面到炸裂。

But any judge, even if they are not Lin Fei's fans, can't turn a blind eye to the 67% shooting rate and averages of 49 points, 13 assists and 4 steals per game.

63 points, 71 points, 58 points, 19 assists...

No one ever believed that these numbers would appear in the NBA Finals, until Lin Fei appeared.

Five minutes later, Lin Fei, who had returned to the visiting team's locker room early, was asked back to the sidelines by the staff again.

David Stern signaled the audience to quiet down, and then shouted at the top of his voice into the microphone in his hand:

"The Most Valuable Player of the 2006-07 NBA Finals is: Lin Fei!"

Standing on the sidelines, Qin Dongmei and Swift covered their faces and cried with joy. Jerry West even took the initiative to applaud Lin Fei.
