As the team's general manager who has been with the Timberwolves for ten years.

"Refrigerator" Kevin McHale has actually put more pressure on him this season than team leader Kevin Garnett.

McHale as a player and Larry Bird, "Big Bird", won three championships for the Celtics in the 80s.

And McHale has also been selected to the All-Defensive Team many times, as well as two Best Sixth Man awards, and can be said to be the top three power forwards in the league in the 80s.

After retiring, McHale moved to work for the Timberwolves.

Just in time for Glenn Taylor to buy the team in 1995 and immediately promote McHale to assistant general manager.

During McHale's tenure, he selected "Wolf King" Garnett for the team in '95 and "Lone Wolf" Marbury in '96.

This allowed the Timberwolves to reach the playoffs for the first time in team history in the 96-97 season, and since then they have been a regular in the playoffs in the West for many years, and the results are remarkable.

Compared to the rest of the league's young small-ball teams, such as the Grizzlies and Raptors, the Timberwolves have grown rapidly.

In a third-tier city like Minneapolis, a team that has made it to the Western Conference playoffs year after year and has an attendance rate of more than 9 percent at the Target Center Arena.

Garnett's arrival is naturally the first credit, and Kevin McHale's management skills are also commendable.

It's just that in the 98-99 season, the Timberwolves and Smith's yin-yang contracts were severely punished by the league, and the first-round draft picks for the next five years were directly deducted, and McHale was to blame for this.

Even if the penalty was later reduced to three first-rounders, it still greatly affected the Timberwolves' reinforcements in the following years.

This season, the Timberwolves introduced "Madman" Sprewell and "Alien" Cassel, and directly transformed to the championship level.

This made general manager McHale even more beautiful, almost overpowering Grizzlies general manager Jerry West and winning the best general manager award this season.

But the injury and retirement of the "aliens" in the Western Conference finals has once again clouded the prospect of the Timberwolves competing for the championship.

Fortunately, Lin Fei was born, and 7 three-pointers in the final quarter pulled the Timberwolves back from the edge of the cliff.

But it is clear that the Timberwolves, who are 2:3 behind, are still on the cliff.

The next away game in Los Angeles, G6, will be the most crucial game to determine whether the team can win the championship this year.

As long as they can win G6 and return to their home court, the Timberwolves will have a bigger chance of winning.

McHale didn't have the heart to think about Lin Fei's contract extension, he was worried about how the team should play in the next game.

And this wonder boy from the Celestial Empire, Lin Fei, can continue to help the Timberwolves in G6?

How should this kind of "spear but no shield" pure offensive three-point shooter be used to achieve the most suitable effect for the team?

Once effectively targeted by the Lakers, will it be immediately revealed?

"Refrigerator" McHale frowned, it seems that he must carefully study it with Philip Saunders and the Timberwolves coaching team.

……

Target Center Arena Conference Room.

The Timberwolves at their post-game press conference.

Head coach Philip Saunders brought Garnett "Wolf King" and "Madman" Sprewell to attend.

As the two cores of the team, Garnett's 31 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks tonight, and the 28 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists of the "madman" are fully worthy of their respective identities.

The dominance played by the two together can be said to have exploded tonight's Lakers OK combination.

Of course, the Timberwolves can reverse the game, and the biggest contributor is Lin Fei.

Lin Fei's contribution to the team tonight was not only those 7 three-pointers, his sharp running at the last moment attracted Kobe Bryant's defense,

Directly let the "madman" break out and cut another 7 points.

Garnett and "Madman" also chose to believe Lin Fei in the final quarter, so they each easily brushed two assists.

There was a constant stream of questions from journalists.

But apparently he still regretted that Lin Fei, a rookie of the Celestial Empire who became famous in a fight, could not attend the press conference in person.

After all, although the popularity of the star is high, Lin Fei broke a number of historical records tonight.

Obviously, it is more favored by traffic and fans, and it is also more inspirational.

"Kevin, what do you think of Lin? Do you think his seven three-pointers tonight were entirely due to God's favor? ”

"Of course not, God is on the side of the Timberwolves tonight!"

"Lin's seven three-pointers have an element of luck, but it's more about his hard work behind the scenes!"

"He's an integral part of the Timberwolves!"

Garnett was still a little excited at this time, talking eloquently into the microphone, and blew Lin Fei without a trace.

Speaking from the heart, Lin Fei made 7 of 7 three-pointers in the last quarter tonight, and he really shot the dependence psychology for the wolf king.

If Lin Fei can continue to perform magically in the next game, even if it is discounted compared to tonight's shooting rate, 50% of the three-point shots will be enough to help the team greatly.

"Ratril, Kobe Bryant chose to let you go at the last moment and go to defend Lin, does this mean that in the mind of the 'Zen Master', Lin's personal offensive threat has surpassed you tonight?"

The "madman" is simple-minded and nervous, and he can't hear the trap in the reporter's question, which clearly means to drive a wedge between the players' trust and unity.

"Although I don't know how this kid will play in the next game, but tonight, Lin is the team's well-deserved MVP!"

"A guy who can shoot three-pointers from 39 feet, how can I compete with him as an offensive threat?"

The reporters let out a burst of laughter, and the question continued:

"Mr. Sanders, may I ask how long you plan to give Lin playing time in the next Western Conference Final G6?"

"Kevin, if Lin hits seven three-pointers again, or more, in the next game, and helps the team win another game, would you be willing to give him a tenth of your salary?"

"Kevin, who player do you think Lin's ceiling will be? Does he stand a chance to be an All-Star like Ray Allen? ”

"Ratril, do you know anything about Lin's private life, and does he have a girlfriend now?"

Originally, Lin Fei saved the team by shooting 7 of 7 three-pointers tonight.

Whether it is the head coach, the wolf king or the "madman", they are all quite excited and grateful, and it is reasonable to regard Lin Fei as the savior of the team, and blow a few words in front of the media.

But what I didn't expect was that the reporters' next questions were one after another, and they all revolved around Lin Fei......

The clowns turned out to be themselves.

At ten o'clock in the evening, on the basketball court of the training hall of the target center.

The crisp sound of the basketball hollowing into the net sounded rhythmically one after another, like a natural sound......

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Whew! Swish! Swish! ”

Lin Fei was sweating and sweating three-point shooting training under the feeding of the team's trainer Thomas.

The bottom corner of the three-point line on both sides, the 45-degree angle of the three-point line on both sides, and the top position of the arc, a total of 5 points, 20 shots per point, a total of 100 shots per group.

After each group rested for 5 minutes, and after an hour, Lin Fei could probably complete 4 sets of shots, a total of 400 times.

And Lin Fei spends at least three hours on three-point shooting training every day, that is, 1,200 three-pointers.

This amount of training can be said to be even more ruthless than the peak Curry.

Before the crossing, the original owner was already a training madman for his dreams.

Now that Lin Fei has a system, as long as he trains, he can obtain free attribute points, so he has to work harder.

And according to the system's explanation, no matter which basketball attribute, you must always maintain the NBA-level training volume, and the high level can be consistent, otherwise there may be a decline at any time.

In this way,

Lin Fei's daily three-point shooting training can't be stopped.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Whoa......

Seeing the basketballs thrown from Lin Fei's hands into the net one after another, almost without missing a shot, trainer Thomas couldn't help but widen his eyes.

At this time, Si Zebiak, who was sitting on the sidelines watching Lin Fei's shooting training, was also shocked.

This is no less than the shock that Lin Fei gave him in three points and 7 consecutive hits in the game.

“398，399，400……”

When Lin Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief after shooting the 400th three-pointer, Si Zebiak also got up and walked up excitedly, with dazzling brilliance in his eyes:

"Oh my God, Lin, you shot 400 three-pointers, and you only conceded 8, what the hell, the shooting percentage is too horrible, right?"

As an All-Star bench-caliber shooter, Szebiak's three-point shooting percentage in practice is only around 70%.

And Lin Fei's three-point shooting rate in training is also clear, and it is not as high as himself.

Trainer Thomas quickly pulled out his Nokia phone to calculate:

"OMG, 392 of 400, a full 98% three-point shooting rate!"

"Lin, could it be that the outbreak of this game tonight has completely transformed your three-point feeling?"

Lin Fei smiled awkwardly, does this still count with a mobile phone?

Well, choose to understand, after all, not everyone can be admitted to Qingbei!

Sizebiak couldn't help but sigh:

"Lin, I really regret that I didn't use the camera to film the whole process of your 400 three-point shots, otherwise uploading it to the video website will definitely explode!"

Lin Fei took the towel and Red Bull handed over by the trainer, and said with a calm smile:

"Wally, there are still 400 of them after a while, you can record a video whenever you want!"

At this moment, the system prompt also sounded:

[Ding, congratulations to the host, complete 400 three-point shooting drills, free attribute points +5]
