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

Timberwolves (19): (9) Lakers.

Lin Fei replaced "Madman" and partnered with "Alien" Cassel in the backcourt.

The "Zen Master" of the Lakers also replaced Gary Payton with the old fish Fisher, and continued to entangle with Lin Fei.

In a rooftop box at Target Center, general manager Kevin McHale couldn't help frowning, quite dissatisfied with Flip Saunders' substitution.

The Timberwolves' starting five are playing hotly and they should pursue the victory. Now let Lin Fei replace "Madman" and partner Cassell in the backcourt, who has not fully recovered from his back injury.

Let's not talk about the offense of this backcourt combination. On the defense, it will definitely be beaten by Kobe and Fisher.

On the court, the Lakers were attacking, and it was indeed Kobe who approached Lin Fei and made physical contact during the breakthrough, trying to make Lin Fei foul.

Lin Fei didn't reach out blindly, and retreated in time after a slight delay. Szebiak quickly switched to defense.

After all, Szerbiak is a heavy-tonnage defender, and his footsteps are far less fast than "Madman", so it is difficult to defend against Kobe.

"Whoosh!"

Kobe held the ball with his back, turned around in reverse after a feint, accelerated past Szebiak, and went straight into the penalty area.

The Wolf King let go of Luke Walton and quickly made up the defense. Kobe decisively distributed the ball to Luke Walton who was in a wide open near the free throw line.

Perhaps because of nervousness, Luke Walton hesitated and did not choose to take the shot. Szebiak stepped in again, and Walton gave the ball to Devin George on the three-point line behind him.

Devin George caught the ball in the wide open space at the top of the arc. He had to shoot even if he didn't shoot, and he shot directly from the three-pointer.

"Bang!"

The basketball missed the frame, but O'Neal squeezed Olowokandi to grab the backboard. After landing, he jumped up again and smashed the ball into the basket.

"Boom!"

The Timberwolves did a pretty good job defensively overall this time. Szebiak and the Wolves made very timely defense changes, forcing Kobe to play the ball, which made up for Lin Fei's poor defense to the greatest extent.

If the backboard bounces longer after Devin George's three-pointer, the Timberwolves are likely to directly launch a counterattack.

But the disadvantage of such a defense is that it always leaves Luke Walton and Devin George open, and it is impossible for them to miss shots all the time.

Lin Fei's defensive vulnerability has indeed hindered the team to a great extent, but the Wolf King and Szebiak's defense has no complaints.

Now this Timberwolves team is really becoming more and more united.

In front of the commentary desk on the sidelines, the famous ESPN commentator Mike Breen couldn't help but admire:

"Having Kevin, Latrell, Szebiak and others willing to defend again and again is enough to prove Lin's role and status in this team now!"

"So, can this magical kid from China use his unbreakable three-pointers on the offensive end tonight to save the deficiencies on the defensive end? Let's wait and see!"

The ball was transferred and the Timberwolves came to the offensive end.

Cassell held the ball from the top of the arc and faced Kobe Bryant, the Black Mamba.

Because "Madman" was resting off the court, and Fisher had always been the main defender against Lin Fei, Kobe now faced "Alien" Cassel.

Although there are rumors that Cassel's back injury is still serious, his performance in the opening minutes tonight was quite outstanding, and the impact of the injury was not visible at all.

So the Lakers naturally didn't dare to be careless, so they asked Kobe to misplace the main defense.

The Wolf King moved up to provide a screen for Cassel, and the alien held the ball and walked to the right in an attempt to break through.

At the same time, Olowokandi also moved up to the high position on the left. Lin Fei squeezed Fisher away from the right corner and made a diagonal pass to accelerate through the offensive half. With the help of Olowokandi's cover,

In an instant, he came to the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

"Whoosh!"

The moment before Lin Fei ran to the 45-degree three-point line on the left, the alien one step to the right of the top of the arc made a fake pass. While looking directly at the basket, he flicked his left wrist.

Cross the ball accurately without looking at anyone.

Lin Feiren didn't waste any time when the ball arrived. After taking the ball, he turned his body slightly and jumped up directly, making a smooth shot.

Whether we can get in or not is another matter, but it’s fast anyway!

At this time, Fisher had just bypassed Olowokandi's huge body and was only one meter away from Lin Fei. But when he quickly reacted and jumped to block the shot, the basketball had already flown leisurely over his head.

If Lin Fei had been 0.3 seconds slower in his shot this time, Lao Yu would definitely have given him a big shot.

But precisely because of the slight difference, it is already difficult for Fisher to stop.

"Shh!"

An arrow pierces the clouds in the sky, thousands of troops and horses come to meet each other.

"Beep!"

The ball goes in and the buzzer sounds, 3+1.

After landing, Lin Fei was directly thrown down by Fisher, but he still lay on the ground confidently and calmly. He put two fingers by his mouth and made a pistol blowing motion.

"Derek, I'm really sorry, I made a 3+1 on you again!"

Fisher's face suddenly turned green and red, and he wished he could just find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Cassel and Wolf King rushed over and pulled Lin Fei up, with excited expressions on their faces.

"Sam, do you dare to pass this on?"

"Lin, can you get in here?"

Facing the inquiries from the wolf king with rounded eyes, Kassel and Lin Fei looked at each other and smiled with a tacit understanding.

"Lin can make a pass, but there's nothing I can't pass!"

"If Sam dares to pass, there is nothing I dare not enter!"

Garnett smiled and gave a thumbs up to the two of them: "So you two are a perfect match!"

Flip Saunders, standing in front of the Timberwolves bench, clapped excitedly and was quite pleased.

It used to require a complicated elevator door screen to get a chance, but now a simple screen from the center can give him a chance.

This is all reflected in Cassel's proper timing of passing the ball.

It seems that my guess has always been correct. A player like Lin Fei who has top off-ball ability comparable to Hamilton needs the cooperation of a top point guard next to him.

Strictly speaking, Cassell is not a top point guard. His scoring ability is even stronger than his organizational ability.

If Lin Fei is paired with super point guards like Jason Kidd and Steve Nash, his three-pointers will definitely become more explosive.

"Shh!"

Lin Fei, who walked to the free throw line, made an extra free throw easily, and his 98 free throw attributes were as stable as an old dog.

Seeing that Lin Fei's first attack was another 3+1, the Timberwolves fans at home were completely excited.

"Haha, it's been three games in a row. Who else dares to say that Lin's three-pointer was luck?"

“上一场G6是3+1绝杀，这一场G7是3+1开局，林的三分球太帅，马上要成为NBA联盟一道独特风景线了！”

"I would like to advise Fisher not to pounce. He will end up with a foul every time. If I can cover Lin, I lose!"

"Sam's timing of passing the ball is really good. Lin catches the ball and shoots without hesitation. The cooperation is really seamless, and the opportunity of 0.5 seconds is not missed!"

"Although he lost 2 points on the defensive end, he immediately got 4 points back on the offensive end. This is Lin. He can still shine in the finals without defense!"

"Wolf King's performance exploded, Sam came back from injury, Wally and Latrell have both offensive and defensive skills, and Lin's touch continues to be hot. Is there any suspense in tonight's tiebreaker? Zen master should surrender early!"

"It's time for OK to disband. The era of the Lakers has ended, and next is the era of our Timberwolves!"

On the court, Kobe continued to hold the ball and hit Lin Fei's point. While Szebiak switched defense, Devin George quickly cut to the basket, caught the ball and layup and scored two points.

"Shh!"

The wolf king frowned slightly. Lin Fei's offensive three-pointer was indeed accurate, but on the defensive end, the feeling of being pierced by opponents again and again was really aggrieved.

Transition of possession.

Lin Fei concentrated all his energy on the offensive end, this time at a 45-degree angle on the right, or with the help of Olowokandi's high cover,

Fisher pursued the defense very quickly this time, strode around the screen in advance, and blocked the passing line between Cassel near the top of the arc and Lin Fei on the right.

At this time, Cassel used the cover of the Wolf King to directly drive to the basket. His right wrist while dribbling suddenly shook and passed the ball diagonally toward the left corner.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei didn't stop after running out with the cover. He borrowed Olowokandi's cover twice in a row, and quickly rushed towards the bottom corner from a 45-degree angle on the right.

Cassel's ball gave enough advance. Lin Fei hit the ball, received the ball at a 0-degree angle, turned over, pulled up, faced the frame and shot again.

Fisher was severely delayed by Olowokandi this time, and was thrown 3 meters away. He could only watch the basketball turn into a long arrow and fly straight into the net.

"Shh!"

the second.

The Timberwolves fans at home also followed the DJ and shouted excitedly: "Second one, second one, second one..."

Timberwolves (26): (13) Lakers.

Kobe was anxious, gritted his teeth as he returned to defense, and said coldly to Fisher: "Mader, next time I go to guard Lin, you keep an eye on Sam Cassel!"

"I don't believe it, this guy can really keep getting in!"
