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

With the arrival of the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals, Minnesota fans are full of passion, expecting the team to continue its miracle and create the first 1:3 comeback in the history of the NBA Western Conference Finals.

The more than 7 tickets for Game 6000 of the Western Conference Finals at Target Center Arena were quickly sold out. Front-row tickets originally priced at more than $10 each have been sold by scalpers for more than $.

According to statistics, the average price of tickets for Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals at Target Center Arena was US$650, and the total ticket sales exceeded US$1300 million.

This number also broke the record in the history of the Timberwolves and became the most popular game in team history.

This makes Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor very proud. The more than 20 million in luxury tax paid this season has not been in vain.

Although Lin Fei did not agree to renew his contract with the Timberwolves in advance, Glen Taylor still gave him a big red envelope of US$6 to thank him for his 3+1 buzzer beater in G of the Western Conference Finals.

Lin Fei naturally accepted this with pleasure. No one would have trouble with money for the $ in the previous match and the $ in this match.

Although he received a red envelope from his boss, Lin Fei would not feel nostalgic or guilty about the Timberwolves because he knew that he deserved it.

As we all know, NBA players are not paid for playing in the playoffs. Each player's annual salary is paid out during the regular season in less than six months.

For the teams that entered the playoffs, the players can be said to play for free, for the sake of exposure and honor, and the rookies also have the opportunity to play their value.

Then there is a part of the bonus subsidy given by the league headquarters to the promoted teams.

Lin Fei’s salary in the regular season is only US$35 a season. In the playoffs, he accompanied the team to the Western Conference Finals. The league also gave the Timberwolves a bonus of more than US$60.

But with the addition of players, coaching staff members, and some team staff, it was only a little over US$1 to Lin Fei.

Now Lin Fei has played superb performances in G5 and G6 of the Western Conference finals, allowing the Timberwolves to sell tickets for one more game in G7, helping the team earn more than tens of millions?

Now that I have only received a red envelope of less than 100,000 US dollars from my boss, what is there to feel guilty about?

If you meet a stingy boss, Lin Fei will naturally have nothing to say if he doesn't give you the money, but since you have given it, no matter how much it is, Lin Fei can take it with peace of mind.

That afternoon, led by Philip Sanders,

Sam Cassel held a team scrimmage with his teammates.

Phillip Saunders deliberately put Lin Fei and Cassel on the same team. The two worked together surprisingly well, and they quickly developed a chemical reaction.

As a pure point guard, although Cassell's passing level is not as good as that of super point guards such as Nash and Kidd, his insight is much higher than that of the Wolf King and "Madman".

In several offensive rounds, when Lin Fei's sharp running position pierced through the defense, Cassel always grasped the fleeting opportunity and passed the ball comfortably and accurately.

Lin Fei also hit these three-pointers.

In the eyes of the Wolf King and "Madman", this is not even a suitable passing opportunity.

Of course, in the first cooperation, Cassel was too pursuing passes from tricky angles and Lin Fei's elusive movement, which inevitably led to several mistakes.

But in the eyes of head coach Flip Saunders, these are completely acceptable.

It's a pity that Cassel's back injury is always aching, and he is unable to perform at his true peak level.

If Cassell recovers from his back injury next season, Lin Fei also chooses to stay with the Timberwolves.

At that time, the overall strength of the team will inevitably reach a new level, making the whole league terrified.

Philip Sanders shook his head helplessly. It should be very difficult for his idea to come true.

When he returned to his villa that night, Lin Fei went straight into the gym for an hour of strength training and endurance training.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for training on strength and endurance for one hour, free attribute points +2]

What surprised Lin Fei was that his bench press strength had increased from 73 kilograms to 74 kilograms.

The bench press was stuck at 73 kilograms for a long time, but now with the ten times strength training card, in just three or four days, there has been a significant improvement of 1 kilogram. The system's products are indeed excellent.

If he keeps training like this, Lin Fei believes that when the new season starts, his bench press strength will have a chance to increase to 85 kilograms or even more.

By then, Lin Fei will no longer suffer an obvious disadvantage in the physical confrontation with black defenders.

In terms of endurance and speed, Lin Fei also felt a slight improvement in his body, but it was just not enough to be reflected in the data.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, after taking a shower, Lin Fei lay on the comfortable big bed in the second-floor bedroom, enjoying the cool breeze blowing in from the window, and summoned the system's personal attribute panel.

[Name: Lin Fei]

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 19 years and 353 days]

[Height: 1.92 meters (bare feet) 1.94 meters (wearing shoes)]

[Weight: 85.5 kg]

[Armspan: 2.11 meters]

[Bench Press: 74kg]

……

Sure enough, Lin Fei's barefoot height has increased to 1.92 meters, while his arm span has also increased from 2.09 meters to 2.11 meters, and his bench press has increased from 73 kilograms to 74 kilograms.

【Location: SG/PG】

[Free attribute points: 125 points]

【Layup: 0】

[Near shot: 0]

……

[Three points: 99]

[Free throws: 75]

【Ball quotient: 70】

……

Lin Fei realized that he had browsed his only three non-zero basketball attributes. According to the system's explanation, basketball intelligence cannot be added or subtracted through free attribute points.

Therefore, Lin Fei must increase his free throw attribute from 75 points to 99 points before he can improve other basketball attributes.

The higher a basketball attribute is, the more free attributes are needed for each point of improvement. Lin Fei wonders if adding the current 125 points of basketball attributes to the free throw attribute can increase the free throw attribute to 99 points.

To be on the safe side, Lin Fei first added 20 free throw attributes to the free throw attribute.

[Ding, congratulations to the host, 20 points of free attribute have been added to the free throw attribute, the free throw attribute +8, raised to 83 points]

[Ding, congratulations to the host, 30 free attribute points have been added to the free throw attribute, the free throw attribute is +7, raised to 90 points]

[Ding, congratulations to the host, 50 free attribute points have been added to the free throw attribute, the free throw attribute is +6, raised to 96 points]

[Ding, congratulations to the host, 25 free attribute points have been added to the free throw attribute, the free throw attribute is +2, raised to 98 points]

Lin Fei shook his head and sighed. Even with the addition of 125 attribute points, the free throw attribute did not reach 99. However, 98 points exceeded Lin Fei's expectations.

As long as he gets another 15 points of free attribute in training tomorrow, he should almost be able to raise his free throw attribute to 99.

Next, which basketball attribute should be improved first? Is it defense, dribbling, or layups...

Lakers players stayed in a hotel ten kilometers away from Lin Fei's villa.

The "Zen Master" banned all nightlife for the players and supervised them to go to bed before eleven o'clock.

The Lakers' special plane landed in Minneapolis this afternoon because Kobe was going to Colorado to appear in court for a lawsuit.

Therefore, he did not catch the team's special plane, but had to take a passenger plane by himself early tomorrow morning to meet with the team.

At this time, Kobe had not yet bought a private jet, so, ahem...

After twelve o'clock in the morning.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gongs and drums outside the hotel. Hundreds of local Timberwolves fans held an open-air rock concert in order to disrupt the rest of the visiting team players.

O'Neal, who had just fallen asleep and was having a pure dream, was suddenly awakened by the noise. His huge body shivered, and he angrily opened the quilt and jumped up from the extra-long bed:

"Mad, these Timberwolves fans are too outrageous. I want to call the police!"

Gary Payton on the big bed next to him was used to storms, so he was obviously much calmer:

"Shaquille, stop working, maybe the local police are also Timberwolves fans!"

"Let's just lie down and make do with it. I have an extra pair of headphones here, do you want to use them?"

……

June 6nd, 2pm local time.

Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Target Center Arena.

More than 20,000 ardent Timberwolves fans packed the auditorium on all sides and made a roar.

On the square outside the arena, more than 2.5 home fans also gathered, which was unprecedented.

For Minneapolis, a small city of 40 people, the frenzy has not been seen in years.

It can be said that one out of every 10 people in this city came to the Target Center and excitedly witnessed the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals.

"Destroy the Lakers F4, the Timberwolves will win!"

"The Timberwolves must win, the finals, here we come!"

The largest betting company in the United States, the latest odds also give the home team a handicap of 6.5 points.

This also shows that major mainstream media are unanimously optimistic that the Timberwolves have a greater chance of advancing to the finals than the Lakers.
