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

Chapter 57 An opportunity that is not an opportunity



On the court, Flip Saunders indeed arranged more offensive tactics for Szczerbiak during the timeout, allowing him to shoulder more of the team's offensive pressure.

In the Timberwolves' subsequent attack, Lin Fei continued to open up space on the outside, and the "Madman" also squatted in the bottom corner. The Wolf King attracted Rasheed Wallace to the high post on the right.

Szebiak faced Tyshawn Prince in the left axis area and caught the ball with his back. Taking advantage of his tonnage advantage, he pushed hard against Prince twice and watched the opponent's defensive steps from the corner of his eye. out of position,

Turn over decisively and shoot a jumper.

Prince staggered, jumped up and stretched out his long arms to block, but the basketball had already flown over his head.

"Shh!"

The difference between Szebiak and Lin Fei is that he is not only an excellent catcher and shooter, but also maintains the shooting level of the 180 club all year round.

At the same time, when facing players who are weaker than yourself, burying your head under the basket and hitting a turnaround jumper with your back are also highly confident scoring methods.

If it weren't for the impact of ankle injuries in the past two seasons, Szebiak would definitely be a first-class scorer averaging 20+ per game.

Because Lin Fei's playing time increased tonight, Szebiak also got enough rest time in the first half.

Compared with Prince, who played for more than 30 minutes with almost no rest, Szebiak has an absolute physical advantage.

For the Pistons, Billups missed an outside shot from the frontcourt after a pick-and-roll, and Prince still missed after grabbing an offensive rebound.

"Bang!"

The Wolf King grabbed the rebound and the Timberwolves attacked again.

Szebiak continued to challenge Prince with the ball, and his leaping layup was not very beautiful, but it was very practical.

"Shh!"

With Szebiak scoring 4 points in a row, the Timberwolves stabilized the situation and expanded their lead to 9 points again.

The Timberwolves fans at home finally breathed a sigh of relief, sending applause and cheers to the handsome white guy of their team.

Larry Brown did not hesitate, and immediately chose to call a long timeout.

Lin Fei took the initiative to smile and high-five Sizebiak, giving a thumbs up to his good friend.

"Wally, it turns out that your back-up play and ball-handling breakthrough are also so good. If I could have your two ball-handling skills, I would no longer be afraid of not being able to catch the ball even though I have to work so hard to move!"

"Haha, Lin, that guy Prince can't guard me, he's too thin!"

Szebiak smiled and said: "Lin, your three-pointers are so popular all over the world. You have 19 points without making a sound. I only have 7 points now!"

"Wally, then you can score more points and overtake me quickly..."

Just when Szebiak was about to say with a smile that he was not that capable, Lin Fei added: "Then if I overtake you again, and you overtake me again, a big victory will be inevitable!"

"Haha, that's good! How about we compete tonight and whoever scores more points gets a treat?"

"You are trying to dampen the enthusiasm for scoring. Of course, whoever scores less will get a treat. I will definitely eat my sister-in-law's steak!"

Pause back.

Larry Brown temporarily replaced Tayshaun Prince, allowing him to rest on the bench, while replacing Corris against Szczerbiak.

Coris Dingsi Zerbiak, who was physically stronger, really had better results, but the wolf king who had adjusted his state also came to feel, facing the roaring Tianzun and hit a big jumper with iron blood.

"Shh!"

Throughout the second half of the third quarter, the Timberwolves always held an advantage of about 10 points, killing the patience of the Detroit Pistons in chasing points.

Lin Fei never got another chance to catch the ball on the offensive end until the last 10 seconds of the third quarter...

"Bang!"

Szebiak missed a three-pointer from the corner, and Ben and Olowokandi competed for the rebound under the basket.

The ball was hit high into the air twice in a row, and the Wolf King quickly rushed up to fight for it. His excellent jumping height gave him a clear advantage in front of Ben, and he jumped high to grab the basketball.

"Snapped!"

But Big Ben's reaction was also quick, his big hand went straight from bottom to top, stabbing the basketball out of Wolf King's hand.

At this time, the basketball flew near the top of the arc. Seeing that he was the closest, Hamilton had quick eyesight and decisively let Lin Fei go to control the ball.

However, the moment Hamilton had just secured the ball, the "Madman" also swooped up from his side, as fast and accurate as a scalpel, and swatted the ball out of Hamilton's hand.

Hamilton bent down to fight for the ball, but the "madman" reached out to Szebiak who came up to the left to respond.

Szczerbiak got the ball against Corlis. At this time, on the timer, there were only 3 seconds left in the third quarter.

"Wally, here!"

Only then did Hamilton realize something, and when he turned around, Lin Fei had already retreated two meters away from the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right.

"Whoosh!"

Szebiak quickly passed the ball without any hesitation.

The moment Lin Fei caught the ball, he suddenly felt refreshed. This damn basketball was finally in his hands again.

With a long breath, Lin Fei jumped up quickly to face Hamilton who was rushing towards him in panic, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at the buzzer.

The moment the basketball flew out of Lin Fei's fingertips, the timer and the red light on the steel backboard also lit up, and the third quarter ended.

"Shh!"

The next second, the crisp sound of the net squeaking was like a sound of nature, as if the referee Dick Bavetta with eagle eyes reached out to signal that Lin Fei's three-point goal was valid.

The Pistons players protested, believing that Lin Fei's three-point shot had timed out.

The staff in front of the technical desk carefully reviewed the video and confirmed that the basketball had left Lin Fei's fingertips when the red light came on, confirming again that the goal was valid.

It was a three-pointer at the buzzer with a margin of error of less than 0.1 seconds, and the Target Center was filled with cheers. After waiting for a quarter, Lin Fei finally scored another three-pointer.

Timberwolves (71): (58) Pistons.

Entering the fourth quarter with a 13-point advantage.

After three quarters, Lin Fei has hit 6 three-pointers and scored 22 points.

Lin Fei, who also played the entire third quarter, has played 1 minutes in G25 of tonight's finals.

This is also the longest game that Lin Fei has played in the Timberwolves, and in the next fourth quarter, Lin Fei will continue to be reused.

An undrafted rookie can play more than 30+ minutes in the NBA Finals, regardless of his personal statistics.

This is enough to illustrate his importance and irreplaceability to the Timberwolves championship team.

After the final quarter started, Larry Brown asked Hamilton to rest on the bench for a while, and Flip Saunders naturally took advantage of this time to replace Lin Fei:

"Lin, thank you for your hard work. Take a rest as soon as possible. Hamilton may reappear at any time!"

Lin Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt that his physical fitness was still somewhat reserved. He nodded and said, "Okay coach!"

After 10 days of training with the system's ten-fold endurance training card, Lin Fei already felt that his physical fitness had improved significantly.

At the same time, Philip Sanders also took advantage of the team's obvious lead and quickly gave Olowokandi, who played 36 minutes in the third quarter, a two-minute break and replaced him with Johnson.

Naturally, the Wolf King can't play with Olowokandi, otherwise the Timberwolves' penalty area will be smashed by the Pistons.

The Pistons' double Wallace has also been playing. The team is still 13 points behind in the final quarter, and the main players are ready to play for 48 minutes.

After all, this is the NBA Finals, and winning or losing Game is even more crucial.

Sure enough, something went wrong for Olowokandi. The two Wallaces connected in the frontcourt, and Ben easily pushed away the old Johnson to catch the ball and dunk.

"Boom!"

Looking back, "Madman" made a mistake in passing and was intercepted by Billups. The Pistons counterattacked with a fast break, stabilized and started a positional battle again.

Billups used the pick-and-roll to break through the basket, attracting double-teams and then passing the ball to the corner of Prince. The latter made a three-pointer, and this time he finally got it.

"Shh!"

The Pistons scored 5 points in a row in the final quarter, and the point difference was recovered to single digits.

Larry Brown quickly replaced Hamilton at the next dead ball time, and Lin Fei also got up and came on.

When Lin Fei didn't expect, he got the chance to catch the ball in the first round.

When the Pistons attacked, Rasheed held the ball in a high post and beat the Wolf King in a back-up position. Seeing that the Roaring God was blocked by the Wolf King and stopped the ball, the "Madman" quickly rushed up to double-team and cut the basketball directly from the opponent's hands.

"Snapped!"

Lin Fei has quick eyes and quick hands, and his running awareness in counterattacking fast breaks is unparalleled. He left Hamilton behind and rushed into the frontcourt at full speed.

"Whoosh!"

Szebiak's moving cover happened to block Hamilton who was chasing Lin Fei, and the two collided directly.

After this slight delay, Lin Fei had already rushed to the frontcourt at full speed.

The "madman" was delayed by Billups in the dribble counterattack, and threw the ball directly to Lin Fei in the frontcourt with a long pass.

This pass is a bit stronger, but it is also a very good leading pass. Lin Fei just needs to continue to accelerate and rush to catch the basketball just in time.

"Whoosh!"

However, just when Lin Fei took a step towards the three-point line and reached out to grab the basketball, his mind suddenly went blank.

Damn it, what should he do if he catches the ball inside the three-point line?

Seeing the vast restricted area in front of him and the empty basket within easy reach, Lin Fei gritted his teeth. Without any time to think about it, he just dribbled the ball awkwardly, and after combining the ball, he strode towards the basket...

Charles Barkley in front of the commentary on the sidelines slapped the table and shouted:

"Is Lin going to dunk? This is a great opportunity. We can finally see Lin's scoring performance beyond three-pointers..."

"Um...what is...what's going on?"

On the court, Lin Fei, who was about to leap for a dunk, suddenly slipped and fell directly to the basket with a "pop"...
