Originally, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith made a bet at the G6 Western Conference finals, and the person who was supposed to lose was going to walk around Staples Arena in SpongeBob SquarePants.

But now that the Lakers have been eliminated, and the Finals G1 is also playing at the Timberwolves' home court, TNT's two major live treasures are tonight's live commentary.

So he put the location of Robben in the target center arena, attracting more attention and warming up for tonight's finals.

It was half past six in the evening.

On the four sides of the target center arena, the audience seats were already crowded and full of seats at this time.

The square outside the arena was also packed with fanatical fans, waiting for the game to start quickly.

"Timberwolves championship, Kevin Garnett Finals MVP!"

"The wolf king burst the roaring Tianzun, swept the Pistons Five Tigers, and the championship belongs to Minnesota!"

"Blow up the Detroit Pistons, blow up the Detroit Pistons ......"

Although Minneapolis is a small city, the NBA Finals are more popular than ever.

Therefore, there are many familiar celebrity fan faces in the front row VIP seats on the sidelines tonight, as well as in several luxury boxes on the top of the stadium.

Famous female singers Madonna, Sciconi, boxing champion Mike Tyson, Hollywood movie star Brad Pitt, AC Milan star Kaka......

Naturally, there were many retired NBA stars who came to the scene, with Michael Jordan and "Big Bird" Larry Bird both sitting in the front row.

Larry Bird, who currently serves as the general manager of the Pacers, has been haunted by the Pacers' loss to the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals this year.

As the players from both teams warmed up in their respective halves, ESPN's beautiful reporter Erin Andrews took to the pitch again for a pre-match interview.

Erin Andrews first came to the Pistons' warm-up half and interviewed the team's soul Ben Wallace.

Andrews, dressed in a sexy and graceful body, stands with Big Ben, who is as muscular as a dragon, like a copy of Beauty and the Beast.

Big Ben's terrifyingly thick arms are definitely thicker than Andrews' thighs under the hem of his skirt.

"Ben, I'm sure you and I are looking forward to tonight's Finals G1, as the boss of this Detroit Pistons, what do you want to say at the moment?"

Big Ben crossed his hands on his hips and lowered his head, and said calmly and lowly into the microphone:

"I'm not the boss of this Detroit Pistons, I'm not a star, I'm just an integral part of the team!"

"The Pistons are a civilian team, where there are no superstars, no high and low, only hard work and unity, only tough to suffocate defense!"

"Ben, I have to applaud your answer, so tonight on the road, do you have the confidence to lead the team to a big start to the finals?"

"The Timberwolves are a strong team, the game is bound to be tough, and although we can't say for sure whether we will win or lose, as soon as we step on the court, every one of my teammates and I will give it our all!"

"Do you have anything to say about Timberwolves starting center Elovo Kandi, playing against him tonight?"

Faced with Erin Andrews's question, Ben Wallace immediately showed a domineering and tough side:

"I'm going to grab at least 20 rebounds on top of this guy's head and shove this parallel bargain into the trash!"

"Also as a representative of the league's undrafted counterattack, do you have any evaluation of the Timberwolves' No. 22 forest?"

"Lin is a fantastic player, but his three-point shot will lose its magic in the Finals, and defense can win the championship!"

Erin Andrews finished interviewing Ben Wallace and found Richard Hamilton.

Hamilton averaged 17.6 points per game in the regular season this season, which is not a high score, but he is still the Pistons' leading scorer, soaring to 21.5 points per game in the playoffs.

"Richard, as the league's top off-ball running master, how does Ling evaluate Lin's performance in the last three games of the Western Conference Finals?"

"Lin is a very potential off-ball player and his outside shooting is pretty accurate!"

"But this is more of a problem with the Lakers' defense end, rookies are still rookies after all, and Lin will really hit his rookie wall in this round of the finals!"

The meaning of Hamilton's words is very obvious, the Detroit Pistons are the rookie wall that Lin Fei wants to hit.

Erin Andrews is next to Rashid Wallace again, and there is no shortage of news spots in the body of "Roaring Celestial".

"Rashid, tonight against new MVP Kevin Garnett, I wonder if you're going to get nervous?"

"Am I going to be nervous? Beauty, I'm afraid you're thinking wrong, it's supposed to be the league's most popular MVP, right? ”

seems to smell the full smell of gunpowder, Erin Andrews fully demonstrated the nature of the media to watch the excitement and not make a big deal, trotted to the warm-up half of the Timberwolves, and hurriedly interviewed the wolf king:

"Kevin, what do you think about Rashid Wallace's threat that you're the league's best regular season MVP?"

"I see that he is paralyzed, tonight I will beat this guy to his knees and beg for mercy, only a mouth cannon thing, the defense is simply softer than his wife's flour ball!"

The wolf king was furious and couldn't help but clench his fists.

Erin Andrews got the answer he wanted, and finally walked to Lin Fei, who shot three points in the bottom corner, with a smile:

"Lin, I'm looking forward to your performance in G1 tonight, how many more three-pointers do you think you can shoot?"

Lin Fei smiled and didn't speak, but looked up at the enthusiastic Timberwolves fans in the audience on all sides:

"I think the fans should know the answer!"

Lin Fei's answer was repeated in the loud voice of the DJ on the spot, and the Timberwolves fans at home shouted:

"Seven, Seven, Seven......"

"At least 8!"

"As long as Lin is given 20 minutes of playing time, he will definitely be able to shoot at least 6 more three-pointers!"

"Nine, nine, Lin will break the record of three-pointers in a single game in the finals!"

"Forest, forest, forest......"

Lin Fei couldn't imagine that the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene was so crazy, as if he had become the focus of the game before the game.

Thinking that his appearance time tonight was uncertain, Lin Fei suddenly had a bold idea in his heart.

Since there may not be enough playing time in the official game, it is necessary to show off your presence in the pre-game warm-up.

On the one hand, he repaid the enthusiastic support of the Timberwolves fans at home, and on the other hand, he also let the Timberwolves coaching staff see his hot state tonight.

Thinking of this, Lin Fei didn't hesitate, he walked in front of Si Zebiak, smiled and whispered a few words in the other party's ear.

Si Zebiak's expression quickly brightened, and he gave Lin Fei a thumbs up and said, "Lin, it's really yours, I think it's good!" ”

So Lin Fei waved his arms at the fans in the stands, and then quickly retreated to the three-point line at the top of the arc, received the ball from Si Zebiak, and shot a three-pointer with his hands open.

"Huh!"

After the first goal was hit, there were few cheers at the scene, and the home fans didn't guess what Lin Fei was going to perform next.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Fei took about two steps back at the top of the arc, received the second feed from Si Zebiak, jumped three points and shot again.

"Huh!"

The second.

This position was more than nine meters away from the basket, and the cheers from the scene were a little louder.

Because Lin Fei had never performed ultra-long three-point shooting in the previous pre-game warm-up, and even deliberately reduced the shooting rate.

The show was still behind, Lin Fei continued to take a few steps back, this position was close to the LOGO icon in the middle circle, more than 11 meters away from the basket.

Catch the ball, jump, raise the arm, press the wrist, shoot...... Flowing clouds and flowing water in one go.

"Huh!"

The third.

The cheers of the fans at the scene became louder and louder, and the players of both teams on the court also stopped to warm up with a smile and began to look in the direction of Lin Fei.

The Wolf King and the "Madman" applauded, and some of the celebrity fans sitting on the sidelines also significantly raised their spirits.

Lin Fei continued to retreat, and this time he had come to the center line, 14 meters away from the basket.

After receiving the fourth pass from Zebiak, Lin Fei took a deep breath, looked at the basket, and every inch of his body seemed to have undergone an instantaneous precise calculation, increasing the shooting force, jumping upside down, and pushing the basketball out vigorously.

The basketball crossed the air at a height of 14 meters in the half, and under the gaze of countless players and fans, it turned into a streamer and went straight to the net.

"Huh!"

The fourth.

The target center arena was boiling, and the fans chanted Lin Fei's name.

"OMG, one is farther than the other, the half-court three-point of 14 meters in the middle line can be hollowed into the net, Lin is so handsome!"

"This warm-up shot is too good, isn't it? Could it be that in order to prepare for the Finals, the Timberwolves official let Lin train many times early? ”

"Even if it was rehearsed in advance, but now I can hit four goals in a row one after another, and ordinary people will never be able to do it!"

"What? Lin is still retreating, does he want to ......?"

On the court, Lin Fei retreated directly to the second half this time, two meters past the halfway line, and more than 16 meters away from the basket.

This time, the "madman" smiled and blocked Si Zebiak, and took the initiative to throw the basketball in his hand to Lin Fei in the backcourt.

"Wally, you've got four assists, I'll brush one too!"

The warm-up players on the Pistons' side also looked at each other and smiled, and Billups shook his head at Hamilton and said, "Richard, do you think he can still score this goal?" ”

Hamilton spread his hands and said: "This kid is too accurate, he doesn't have any defense, I guess he can still hit this time!" ”

Ben Wallace shook his head in disbelief and said, "Impossible, he will definitely not be able to enter this time!" It's so terrifying! ”

In the expectant eyes of more than 20,000 people at the scene, Lin Fei adjusted slightly after taking the ball, stepped forward, and pushed the ball out vigorously with the help of the power transmission of his lower limbs and waist and abdomen.

Lin Fei was not confident at such a distance, he didn't shoot much more than half court in training, and his shooting rate did not reach 50%.

But tonight's ball, Lin Fei felt that it should have been there at the moment when he shot at basketball.

Let the basketball fly a little longer.

"Huh!"

Fifth.

Although the ball was not a hollow, it was lucky to hit the edge of the basket and bounce in.

Lin Fei also had a smile on his face, it seemed that he was really born for a big scene.

The ultra-long three-point shot 16 meters away from the basket completely ignited the target center arena.

Madonna, who was sitting in the front row, still had the charm, and stood up and applauded excitedly, exclaiming:

"This Timberwolves No. 22 is so handsome, at such a distance, even if it is football, it is difficult to kick the goal accurately!"

Kaka, who was not far away, smiled awkwardly, is this Madonna insulting them to play football?

However, Lin Fei's five three-pointers were farther than the other, and Kaka was indeed excited to watch.

Michael Jordan looked arrogant and arrogant, chewing gum and shaking his head:

"It's a good shot, and as a pre-game warm-up program, it's really suitable!"

"Big Bird" Larry Bird has actually been paying attention to Lin Fei for a long time, and with the retirement of Miller Sr., the Pacers are in dire need of a new generation of quarterbacks who can replace him.

Lin Fei's three-pointer made Larry Bird fall in love, and the catch-and-shoot three-pointer after running off the ball was even more accurate than peak Miller.

But his crotch-pulling defense also made "Big Bird" helpless, and he was very different from the peak Miller.

Therefore, the team can only give Lin Fei's agent an offer of 7 million US dollars for 2 years for the time being.

"Lin this guy, if his defense can be better, the Pacers and I are definitely willing to give him an annual salary of 10 million US dollars!"

After the pre-game warm-up session, Lin Fei trotted straight into the players' tunnel and returned to the locker room amid the cheers of the home fans.

Timberwolves head coach Philip Saunders shook his head with a smile, he really liked Lin Fei, his beloved apprentice, but there was also a lot of helplessness in his expression.

I just want to do this performance before tonight's finals G1, it seems that Lin Fei is protesting against his compressed playing time in the finals!

The high-definition four-sided screen on the top of the hall and the huge large screen outside the stadium also synchronously replayed Lin Fei's three-point and five-point combo in the warm-up at this time.

Once again, there was a burst of cheers and screams from many fans inside and outside the stadium......

Erin Andrews on the sidelines also smiled sweetly, and he felt that he really liked Lin Fei, a Celestial Empire player, more and more.

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith in front of the commentary stage also praised Lin Fei's warm-up performance:

"Charles, I'm so sorry that Lin's five three-pointers in the warm-up made Timberwolves fans forget about your pre-game Robben!"

Barkley raised his eyebrows and glared, "The basket has turned into the Pacific Ocean in Lin's eyes, but this is limited to the pre-game warm-up!" ”

"Kenny, didn't you notice Ben Wallace's expression behind Lin? He couldn't wait to rush up and give Lin a big hat! ”

With the anticipation of the majority of fans, the time finally came to 7 o'clock in the evening.

The first game of the NBA's 2003-04 Finals season officially kicked off.

The finals were not only broadcast live in Quanmi, but also broadcast live on 97 radio stations in more than 52 countries around the world, with more than 130 million viewers.

The referee for tonight's Finals is 65-year-old Dick Bavita, one of the most respected whistlers in the NBA today.

At Bavita's signal, the starters of both teams all took to the court.

The starting five Tigers on the Timberwolves' side are:

Point Guard (PG): Sam Cassel,

Shooting Guard (SG): Trenton Hassel,

Small Forward (SF): Latril Sprewell,

Power Forward (PF): Kevin Garnett,

Center (C): Michael Olovokandi.

The Detroit Pistons' starting five are:

Point Guard (PG): Chauncey Billups,

Shooting Guard (SG): Richard Hamilton,

Small Forward (SF): Tyshawn Prince,

Power Forward (PF): Rasheed Wallace,

Center (C): Ben Wallace.

The Timberwolves wore a jersey with blue letters on a white background, while the Pistons wore a red letter on a blue background.

The head coaches of both teams, Philip Saunders and Larry Brown, also walked to the technical table on the sidelines, shook hands and smiled at each other.

"Mr. Sanders, it's a great honor to meet the Timberwolves in the Finals, and I'm sure it's going to be a great matchup!"

Larry Brown, as the NBA's premier and famous coach, has no pretensions, is humble, and exudes a gentlemanly demeanor and rigor of the academy.

"Mr. Brown, you have always been my respected head coach, and I believe that in this round of the finals, I and the players can improve even more!"

The coaches of the two teams were polite and respectful to each other on the surface, but a game had already begun in their hearts.

On the court, Ben Wallace and Olowo Kandi jumped the ball in the center circle.

Although the real height is only 2.01 meters, the 2.18 meter arm span is also not outstanding among the center.

But Big Ben's reflexes and bounce speed are superb, which is enough to beat Olowokandi in the process of jumping and grabbing rebounds.

"Smack!"

The basketball was picked up by Ben Wallace, Billups stepped forward to receive the ball, and the Detroit Pistons opened the game with the first offense.

Coming to the front court with the ball, Billups faced the "alien" Cassel, called a block from Rasheed Wallace at the top of the arc, and broke through on the right side with the ball.

"Whoosh!"

Kassel didn't get around cover at the first time, and the wolf king stepped forward to delay Billups.

Although he is a big forward, the wolf king is tall and has long arms, and his lateral speed is not slow, and the effect of defending some guards is not bad.

Billups, who lacked enough explosiveness, couldn't make the breakthrough and quickly returned the ball to Rashid who was blocking down the middle.

"Roaring Tianzun" took a step at the free throw line after receiving the ball, and made a decisive mid-range straight-arm jumper.

"Bang dang!"

The ball was a little worse and the pop-up box missed.

"Smack!"

Under the basket, Olowo Kandi wanted to roll over and jump to grab the rebound, but Ben Wallace, who had amazing speed and excellent rebounding sense, was one step ahead.

Big Ben used the strength of his thick upper limbs to suppress the parallel import, and after landing, he quickly jumped twice, grabbing the ball with both hands and sending a violent deduction.

"Boom!"

After landing on the ground, Big Ben showed off his biceps, turned around and roared at the wolf king:

"Kevin, it's better for you to guard against me, this guy is just like a!"

Lin Fei, who was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, did not pay attention to the Pistons offensive players, but always stared at the off-ball running of Richard Hamilton.
