Philip Saunders also called a long timeout, allowing Lin to get up and take the stage.

The more physical Szebiak was on the court three minutes before and helped his team hit a jumper.

In front of the live commentary platform,

Charles Barkley's voice instantly became high-pitched, and his eyes widened and he grinned:

"Lin is on the court, let's continue to experience the fear of being dominated by three-point shots!"

Kenny Smith laughed:

"Charles, let's make a bet? How many three-pointers do you think Lin can make tonight? Will it surpass the 7 in the previous game? ”

Barkley raised an eyebrow and said, "Kenny, do you want to kiss the donkey's skin drum too?" Then I can do it for you! ”

Kenny Smith: "No, no, no, I'd rather wear SpongeBob SquarePants and run a lap around Staples Arena!" ”

Barkley's eyes rolled twice, and he nodded funny: "That's a good idea!" ”

"Lin did play well in the first quarter tonight, but I'm sure the Lakers' defense will create more problems for him!"

"Even though he has hit three three-pointers in the first quarter, I don't believe he will hit more than the seven three-pointers he made in the last game tonight, and the fitness of Asian players will be the key to limiting him!"

Listening to Barkley's serious analysis, Kenny Smith beside him said:

"Charles, it seems that you are still not a qualified Lin Chui!"

"Well, if Lin doesn't hit more than 7 three-pointers tonight, even if you win!"

"If he hits more than seven three-pointers, what if I win?"

"Fliggy" Barkley was smug and confident: "Kenny, of course!" ”

"Whoever loses, put on SpongeBob SquarePants and run around Staples Arena!"

"No problem, but Kenny, I still prefer to wear Mickey Mouse's panties!"

On the court, seeing Lin Fei on the field,

The "Zen Master" also sent the old fish Fisher.

Tonight's Fisher is to be the same as Lin Fei, and the "Zen Master" believes that in the end, Fisher's physical strength will give him the absolute upper hand.

In the last game of the Western Finals G5, the main forces of the two teams of the Lakers were tired in the end, and Lin Fei played the last 8 minutes with all his might, which naturally made a big difference in physical strength.

But tonight, the "Zen Master" believes that the shortcomings of Lin Fei's Asian defenders will inevitably be exposed.

Timberwolves offense.

Lin Fei took advantage of the solid cover of Szebiak in the bottom left corner, and slipped across the court into the right bottom corner.

"Whoosh!"

But at this time, there were no defenders in the basket in the penalty area, and O'Neal and Malone both expanded their defenses.

The wolf king, who held the ball in his hand in a high position, found that Lin Fei's slippery bottom line air cut was an excellent opportunity to catch the ball and make a layup.

So he took a step before Lin Fei entered the basket and quickly passed the ball.

"Lin, take it!"

Lin Fei, who was originally about to cross the bottom corner of the right side of the basket running position, found that the wolf king actually gave the ball in advance, and three black lines suddenly floated down his forehead.

This is obviously a misunderstanding of his empty cut, and he wants to catch the ball and make a layup?

I have to say,

Lin Fei's position at this time is a great opportunity to go directly to the rebound after receiving the ball, O'Neal and Malone are near the axis area, and Fisher has just bypassed the pursuit of Szebiak and is also a beat slower, and it is impossible to complete the block.

But the crux of the problem is that Lin Fei's current layup attribute is 0......

If it is normal, this catch-and-lay after the empty cut, as long as you are not nervous, can be easily completed.

But now Lin Fei not only has no ability to go to the basket, but also has no ability to dribble, and he doesn't go to the basket as soon as he receives the ball, so there is no better choice.

These thoughts flew through his mind in an instant, Lin Fei slowed down after receiving the pass from the wolf king, stepped under the basket in one step, and looked back at the moon as a rebound shot that played the board.

What Lin Fei didn't expect was that the angle of the ball on the rebound was outrageous, and the shooting power was obviously greater.

After the basketball bounces, it crosses the bridge and flies high above the basket.

Lin Fei's face was full of embarrassment, the 0-point attribute of this layup was really outrageous.

It seems that his muscle memory about layups has been completely wiped out by the system.

The wolf king who passed the ball in the high post also frowned instantly, this Lin Fei's three-point shot was so accurate, why did he pull the layup so much?

However, in the next moment, Sizebiak, who followed up from the left, jumped high, grabbed the basketball and directly sent the dunk.

"Boom!"

The wolf king's eyes suddenly lit up, it turned out that Lin Fei was pretending to be a foul and playing the ball on the board!

How dare you play like this in the Western Conference Finals? The beauty of the flowers!

Lin Fei also breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and high-fived Si Zebiak, and whispered thanks to the other party's ear when he returned to the defense:

"Wally, thanks to you, otherwise I would have been out of the ocean just now!"

Sizebiak smiled: "Lin, I remember saying that you made a bad layup!" ”

Lin Fei was slightly moved: "You still understand me!" ”

After some communication with the staff in front of the technical desk, they finally chose to add an assist to Lin Fei's data column.

In the rules of the NBA, this kind of assists teammates score after playing the board needs to be treated on a case-by-case basis.

If player A has an obvious shooting action, then he bounces back after missing the board, and teammate B receives the dunk successfully, which does not count player A's assist, but will remember a missed shot.

But if player A is obviously not aiming for the basket, but is using the rebound to find an angle to assist his teammate to dunk, this kind of usually counts player A as an assist, and player B as a rebound and 2 points.

The reason why the technical desk remembered Lin Fei's one assist was because they thought that it was so simple to cut the rebound, and Lin Fei actually played the board at such an outrageous angle.

For a player with a three-point accuracy, it is obvious that the opponent misses a layup.

So an assist should be credited.

Lin Fei didn't expect that his three-point accuracy would indirectly bring an assist statistic.

Passing the ball with 0 attribute can also brush assists, and sure enough, any magical situation in the game can happen.

In Lin Fei's view,

It was precisely because of his accurate three-point shooting, coupled with sharp off-ball running, that the Lakers' defensive formation unconsciously expanded, resulting in a backyard fire.

gave the Timberwolves a chance for Lin Feikong to cut to the basket and miss, and Szebiak could calmly make up for the dunk.

In D'Antoni's magic ball theory, dunks and layups at the bottom of the basket, as well as three-point shots from the outside, are the two ways to maximize benefits.

Shooting in the mid-range area between the three-point line and the basket is the most inefficient.

Lin Fei thought that when the free throw attribute increased to more than 90, the basketball attribute he should improve next might be to make a layup.

There are outside three-pointers and various open cut layups under the basket, this is the strongest off-ball offensive player under the magic ball theory.

Of course, defensive attributes are also important, but you always have to keep your feet on the ground and take it one step at a time.

Philip Saunders, who was standing on the sidelines, also thought that Lin Fei's reflexive play just now was a fancy assist passed to Szebiak.

Dare to upload this kind of ball in a high-end arena like the Western Finals, or a rookie who lost the draft,

While Philip Saunders wanted to criticize Lin Fei for being too risky, he also admired his steady mentality.

The Timberwolves coach, who has the grace of knowing the "wolf king" Garnett, likes Lin Fei, a Celestial Empire player, more and more in his heart.

If the G6 Timberwolves lose tonight's Western Conference finals, the season will be over.

The first thing Philip Saunders did was to assist the management in signing Lin Fei as soon as possible.

The "Zen Master" side was obviously very dissatisfied with the team's defense, missed the penalty area and was taken away by Lin Fei from the back door, and deliberately played the board to assist his teammates to dunk when the empty basket was not up.

This is even more infuriating than Lin Fei scoring a three-pointer......

O'Neal was obviously also angry, penetrating the holes in the Timberwolves' defense, this time in a savage stuck position in the restricted area, receiving a pass from Kobe, and then a violent dunk.

"Boom!"

O'Neal grabbed the basket tightly with both hands, raised his legs high, and roared domineeringly, and the entire basketball hoop shook violently.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle and gave O'Neal a technical foul for more than three seconds to grab the basket.

The Timberwolves' side, where he had the highest free-throw percentage, stepped to the free-throw line and hit the free throw.

"Huh!"

In the next few offensive rounds of the Timberwolves, Lin Fei didn't get a chance to catch the ball.

But the Timberwolves overall shot percentage is higher.

Si Zebiak, who scored 3 points in a row, may have been influenced by Lin Fei, and he played more and more actively tonight.

In the last 10 seconds of the second quarter, the Timberwolves executed the final attack of the first half.

Hojberg brought the ball to the frontcourt, and the ball was once again given to the high Wolves.

After a cross cover at a 45-degree angle with Lin Fei, Fisher did not catch up with Lin Fei.

And Devin George also subconsciously blocked the Wolf King's passing line to Lin Fei.

At this time, Szebiak stepped back to the outside of the three-point line, received Garnett's outside pass, and decisively started to score three points.

"Huh!"

Hit.

The ball lights on and the first half is over.

Timberwolves (45) :(44) Lakers.

Heading into halftime with a 1-point lead.

The Staples arena went silent, and the home Lakers fans had an ominous premonition.

Lin Fei rushed up and high-fived Sizebiak: "Wally, well done!" ”

Si Zebiak also smiled happily: "Lin, learn like you!" ”

Although Lin Fei played 5 minutes in the second quarter, he didn't make a single shot, didn't score a point, and only had 1 assist and 1 foul on the data column.

But anyone who knows the ball can see that he is essential and indispensable to the team's attack.

The Wolf King and the "Madman" also showed their domineering side, yelling at the Lakers' bench:

"Hey old guys, we're here to win tonight!"

"Kobe, the day after tomorrow, I will give your wife and children three tickets to the front row of the target center for free!"

In a luxurious box on the roof of the museum.

A middle-aged black man in his fifties, dressed in a silver suit, sat on the sofa smoking a cigar, his eyes were like torches, and said to the new general manager of the team next to him:

"Reeve, I suddenly had a bold idea, how about the Bobcats build a team around this forest in the new season?"

This middle-aged man is Robert Johnson, worth 500 million, and the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats who is about to officially enter the league in the new season.

as everyone knows

Before the 04-05 season, the league had only 29 teams, and with the addition of the Bobcats, it officially had 30 teams, 15 in the West and 15 in the East.

Cheryl Reeve, the general manager of the Bobcats' new season, smiled awkwardly and said:

"Boss, how can a no-ball player who can only run and shoot three-pointers, become the core of a team?"

"Besides, this Lin is another Asian draft pick, with average physical fitness, it is difficult to adapt to the high-intensity regular season of the NBA, and he has to take into account the injury factor!"

General Manager Reeve shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart, there is only one boss who doesn't know how to play, and he dares to say that he can use a draft like Lin Fei as the core of the team!
