[55] The piston is not so easy to deal with! Elevator doors are invalid?
In the last 4 minutes of the second quarter, Lin Fei and Hamilton did not play again.
The Timberwolves and Pistons also resumed their suffocating defensive battle, and the rhythm became dull again, and the sound of iron was endless.
In the last 0 minutes and 5 seconds before the end of the first half, the "madman" took advantage of the breakthrough layup after the wolf king's blocking, and was given a sky-covering hat by the big Ben who pushed off Olovocandi.
"Smack!"
The ball was unbiased, and it was slapped directly into the arms of Rashid Wallace, which shows the outstanding ability of Big Ben's blocking.
Roaring Tianzun turned over and quickly gave the ball to the point guard Billups, who played the first half for 24 minutes without resting, and was already a little overdrawn physically at this time.
But he still gritted his teeth, and used an in+out change of direction to shake off the blocked "alien" Cassel while marching with the ball.
After stepping on the halfway line, he rode directly and shot an arrow, sending a long-range shot that spanned half the court.
The red light on the timer came on, and the first half of the game was over, and the speeding basketball was whizzing into the basket.
"Boom!"
The referee signaled Billups' three-point goal to be valid, and the fans at the home stadium were stunned.
"Chauncey is worthy of being a big-hearted player, and he seems to have scored more than once in this kind of half-court ultra-long three-point shot!"
"Or Lin is more powerful, the three-point shot has never been Billups' conventional weapon!"
With this miraculous three-point hit, the Pistons also struggled to chase the deficit to 12 points before halftime.
Timberwolves (51) :(39) Pistons.
Although he hit the buzzer-beating three-pointer in the half, Billups didn't make any celebrations and ran straight to the tunnel with a blank face.
With the team still trailing by 12 points, everyone on the Pistons knew that the second half was bound to be tougher.
"Chauncey's half-court three-pointer reminds me of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Pistons vs. Nets!"
In front of the commentary stage, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith were amazed and vivid.
"That's right, Charles, I'm lucky that we partnered to explain that classic battle!"
"If I remember correctly, Chauncey hit the half-court equalizer in the last 2.9 seconds of regulation time, and the two teams went on to play a full three extra times!"
"Yes Kenny, it's just a pity that the Pistons still lost that game in the end, otherwise Billups's three-point draw would have been even more significant!"
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose that game, after all, it's the Detroit Pistons, not the New Jersey Nets, who are standing on the Finals stage to compete with the Timberwolves!"
Intermission time.
The high-definition four-sided screen above the roof of the stadium played the highlights of the Timberwolves in the first half of tonight, boosting the enthusiasm of the home fans.
There is the breakthrough of the "madman", the wonderful pass of Kassel, and the hot-blooded hat of the wolf king.
Of course, what excites the fans the most has to be Lin Fei's five three-pointers against the sky, as well as that desperate flying to save the ball.
"Oh my God, I originally thought that Lin's three-point shot would lose its magic under the infinite change of defense of the Pistons Five Tigers, but I didn't expect that after half of the game, he had already hit 5!"
"Five three-pointers at halftime, and 10 at the end of the game, my math is fine, right?"
"Lin was 5 of 6 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws in the first half, scoring 19 points alone, which is too explosive!"
"The Timberwolves scored 51 points in the half, the rhythm of the finals, is it forced for Lin to mention it alone?"
"Wait, look at the four-sided screen, I just found out now that the beautiful fan who knocked down when Lin saved the ball turned out to be Erin Andrews!"
"Oh, where is this going to hit me? Envy cried! ”
"Haha, I think Lin and Andrews are a good match, Erin is 5 years older, just right! Maybe the two of them can spark! ”
"I heard that the people of the Celestial Empire are not like us Omi, they still like young beauties, Lin is in this grade, and it is the most suitable to find an 18-year-old!"
", who the doesn't like an 18-year-old?"
In the VIP audience in the front row, the celebrity fans also happily communicated, and the topics basically revolved around Lin Fei.
The popularity of the finals is several times higher than that of the Western Conference finals, and Lin Fei can really be called a complete battle to become famous tonight under the attention of hundreds of millions of fans around the world.
You know, it's the NBA Finals!
What rookie can make it to the Finals in his first year in the league and be the only focus on the court?
The leaders of the 03 golden generation who watched this finals G1 on TV all over the world,
"Little Emperor" LeBron James, "The Flash" Wade, "Melon" Anthony, and "Dragon King" Bosh all cried with envy......
Michael Jordan and Larry Bird, who were sitting in the first row on the sidelines, were also envious of Lin Fei, an undrafted pick, who could have such a wonderful performance in the finals.
Jordan led the Bulls to a round of the playoffs in his rookie season, and Larry Bird didn't even make the playoffs in his rookie season.
The 22-year-old Kaka is not a big fan of the Timberwolves, and he has only heard of Lin Fei, a Celestial Empire guard who was born in the NBA.
At this time, Kaka had just returned to AC Milan and had not yet reached the peak of his career.
Like Lin Fei, Kaka also wears the number 22 shirt at AC Milan.
Because the Serie A season has ended, Kaka accompanied AC Milan to Chicago to play a friendly game for charity.
I took the time to go to Minneapolis with my teammates to watch an NBA Finals.
"This Rin's three-point is amazing, I think I've become a fan of him now!"
"It just so happens that he's the same as me, both of them are on the 22nd, and this is really a fate!"
Kaka's teammate Mario said: "I still like Kevin more, he plays more passionately, and the Timberwolves have always been his team!" ”
Listening to the words of his old teammates, Kaka smiled silently.
His current situation should be similar to Lin Fei's, they are all youth who need to struggle.
AC Milan is also not his team, will he be worth his weight here?
The second half of the game started quickly,
The Pistons continued to field the starting five, and Hamilton, who had adjusted his mentality, changed to a new mask and regained his confidence.
On the Timberwolves' side, Philip Sanders also sent "Alien" Cassel, Lin Fei, "Madman" Sprewell, Wolf King and Olovo Kandi.
The Wolves and Olowokandi played the full 24 minutes of the first half, and the Timberwolves were tight on the inside, with only one Johnson Sr. in addition to the two, so they had to play the inside twin towers.
On the other hand, the Pistons not only have two Wallaces on the starter, but also have Memet Oku and Elden Campbell on the bench, and beat the Timberwolves in depth inside.
Although Lin Fei performed well in the first half, scoring 19 points to shine throughout the game, Philip Saunders as the head coach is well aware that the Wolves and Olovocandi have more credit for guarding the inside.
At least judging from the first half of the game, Lin Fei is the face, and the Wolf King and Olovocandi are the lining.
let a draft pick stain the team's main players and superstars with such a big light, and after playing in the NBA Finals for ten minutes, he attracted countless fans,
Lin Fei is definitely the first in NBA history.
The Timberwolves took the lead in the third quarter, and Hamilton regained his calm mood and focused on chasing Lin Fei without any irritability.
As Coach Larry Brown said, "Richard, who can hit five three-pointers in the Finals, we can't see him as a rookie anymore!" ”
"You should treat him as Kobe, and if you put all your energy into it, you may not be able to prevent him!"
Lin Fei continued to intersperse the runs, but he never succeeded in getting rid of Hamilton, and the ball could not be passed easily, even with Kassel in charge.
During the halftime break, Philip Saunders deliberately formulated the tactics that the first attack at the beginning of the second half still revolved around Lin Feilai, hoping that Lin Fei could hit another three points and impact the Pistons' mentality.
But several consecutive covers didn't have a chance, and even the elevator doors that were raised by the Wolves and Olovo Candi were completely destroyed by the Pistons through a quick and smooth change of defense.
When the elevator door cover is carried out, whether it is Hamilton who is chasing Lin Fei, or Rashid who is defending against the wolf king, and Ben who is against Olovo Candi,
At any time, he can go around the cover and change in front of Lin Fei, and at the same time consciously cut off the passing line.
The ball of "alien" Kassel was really too careless, and Lin Fei, who rushed from the elevator door, was changed by Big Ben as soon as possible.
Because Olowokandi knows that Olovokandi is not capable of attacking high positions, he is the best choice to switch when Hamilton is delayed by the elevator door.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Big Ben's strong body pushed Lin Fei away, his long arms stretched, and his big hand directly slapped the flying basketball away.
Big Ben steals +1.
The first time to control the basketball, Ben Wallace quickly passed to Hamilton, who was turning over quickly,
Hamilton fed the ball back to Billups behind him, and he slipped into the right side of the pitch.
Lin Fei endured the pain in his arm after being hit by Big Ben, gritted his teeth and turned around to speed up the pursuit, and saw through Hamilton's running attempt at a glance.
