With the arrival of the Western Conference Finals, Minnesota fans are full of passion, looking forward to the team continuing the miracle and creating the first 1:3 comeback in the history of the NBA Western Conference Finals.

The more than 20,500 tickets for the G7 of the West Finals in the Target Center Arena were also quickly sold out, and the tickets in the front row, which were originally priced at more than 6,000 US dollars, have been fried to more than 100,000 US dollars by scalpers.

According to statistics, the average price of G7 tickets for the West Final at the Target Center Arena is 650 US dollars, and the total ticket sales exceed 13 million US dollars.

This number also broke the Timberwolves' all-time record and became the highest-grossing game in the team's history.

This made Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor proud, and the luxury tax of more than 20 million this season was not in vain.

Although Lin Fei did not agree to renew his contract with the Timberwolves in advance, Glenn Taylor still gave him a big red envelope of 50,000 US dollars to thank him for his 3+1 lore in the Western Conference Finals G6.

Lin Fei naturally accepted this, the 20,000 US dollars in the last game, and the 50,000 US dollars in this game, no one would have a hard time with money.

Although he took the boss's red envelope, Lin Fei didn't have any nostalgia and guilt for the Timberwolves, because he knew that he deserved it.

As we all know, NBA players are not paid to play in the playoffs, and the annual salary of each player has been paid in less than 6 months of the regular season.

For teams that make the playoffs, players can be said to play for free, for exposure and honor, and rookies also have the opportunity to play for themselves.

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

Lin Fei only had a salary of 350,000 US dollars in a season in the regular season, and in the playoffs, he reached the Western Conference finals with the team, and the league also gave the Timberwolves more than 600,000 US dollars in bonuses.

But with the addition of the players and members of the coaching staff, as well as some team staff, it was equally divided into Lin Fei's head, and it was only a little more than 10,000 US dollars.

Now Lin Fei has played super performances in G5 and G6 in the Western Finals, so that the Timberwolves can sell tickets for one more game in G7 and help the team make more than 10 million dollars?

Now that he only took the boss's red envelope of less than 100,000 US dollars, what is there to be ashamed of?

If you meet a boss who picks the door and people don't give it to you, Lin Fei naturally has nothing to say, but since he has given it, no matter how much it is, Lin Fei will take it with peace of mind.

That afternoon, under the leadership of Philip Saunders,

Sam Cassel and his teammates played an intra-team training match.

Philip Saunders deliberately put Lin Fei and Cassel on the same team, and the effect of the two pairing was surprisingly good, and chemistry soon developed.

As a thoroughbred point guard, although Kassel'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 the "Crazy Man".

In several offensive rounds, when Lin Fei's sharp running position penetrated the defense, Cassel could always grasp the fleeting opportunity and pass the ball comfortably and accurately.

And Lin Fei also hit these three-pointers.

In the eyes of the Wolves and the "madman", this is not even a proper passing opportunity.

Of course, with the first cooperation, Cassel's excessive pursuit of tricky angle passes, as well as Lin Fei's elusive running, inevitably made a few mistakes.

However, in the opinion of head coach Philip Saunders, these are perfectly acceptable.

It's a pity that Kassel's back injury has always been a dull pain and he can't play at his peak level.

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

At that time, the overall strength of the team will inevitably reach a new level, which will make the whole league fearful.

Philip Saunders shook his head helplessly, his idea should be difficult to come true.

Back in his villa that night, Lin Fei went into the gym again and did an hour of strength training and endurance training.

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

To Lin Fei's surprise, his bench press strength has increased from 73 kg to 74 kg.

At the beginning, the bench press card was 73 kg for a long time, but now with the tenfold strength training card, it only takes three or four days to have a significant increase of 1 kg, and the system is really good.

Continuing to train like this, in Lin Fei's opinion, when the new season begins, his bench press strength has a chance to rise to 85 kilograms, or even more.

When the time comes, in the physical confrontation with the black defenders, Lin Fei will no longer suffer obvious losses.

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

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

[Name: Lin Fei]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 19 years and 353 days]

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

[Weight: 85.5 kg]

[Reach: 2.11m]

[Bench press: 74 kg]

……

Sure enough, Lin Fei's bare foot height has risen to 1.92 meters, while his arm span has also increased from 2.09 meters to 2.11 meters, and the bench press has increased from 73 kg to 74 kg.

【Location:SG/PG】

[Free Attribute Points: 125 points]

[Layup: 0]

[Near-casting: 0]

……

[3 points: 99]

[Free throws: 75]

[Ball quotient: 70]

……

Lin Fei consciously browsed his only three non-0 basketball attributes, and according to the system's explanation, the ball quotient cannot be added or subtracted through free attribute points.

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

The higher a basketball attribute, the more free attributes are required for each point of improvement, Lin Fei doesn't know if adding the current 125 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 attributes to the free throw attribute.

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

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

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

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

Lin Fei shook his head and sighed lightly, the 125 attributes were added, and the free throw attributes did not reach 99, but 98 points also exceeded Lin Fei's expectations.

As long as you get another 15 free attribute points for training tomorrow, you should be able to increase the free throw stat to 99.

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

In a hotel 10 kilometers away from Lin Fei's villa, the Lakers players stayed here.

The "Zen Master" banned all nightlife for the players, supervising them to sleep before eleven o'clock.

The Lakers' plane landed in Minneapolis this afternoon because Bryant was going to Colorado to run a lawsuit.

So he didn't catch the team's plane, but had to take the passenger plane by himself early tomorrow morning to meet the team.

Kobe Bryant hadn't bought a private jet at this time, so, ahem......

After twelve o'clock in the morning.

Outside the hotel, the cacophony of gongs and drums suddenly rang out, and hundreds of local Timberwolves fans collectively held an open-air rock concert in order to disturb the rest of the visiting players.

O'Neal, who had just fallen asleep and was dreaming, was suddenly woken up by the noise, his huge body was stunned, and he angrily lifted the quilt and jumped up from the extended version of the bed:

"Made, this group of Timberwolves fans is too much, Lao Tzu wants to call the police!"

Gary Payton on the big bed next to him is accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, and is obviously much calmer:

"Shaquille, don't be busy, maybe the local police are also Timberwolves fans!"

"It's better to lie down and make do with sleep, I have an extra pair of headphones here, do you need it?"

……

June 2, 6 p.m. local time.

Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Target Center Arena.

More than 20,000 fanatical Timberwolves fans packed the crowd on all sides.

In the square outside the stadium, more than 25,000 home fans also gathered, which was an unprecedented spectacle.

For a small city of 400,000 people like Minneapolis, the frenzy hasn't been seen in years.

It can be said that one out of every 10 people in the city came to the inside and outside of the target center arena and excitedly witnessed the seven battles in the West Finals.

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

"The Timberwolves will win, the Finals, here we are!"

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

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