"OMG, Lin is too handsome, he doesn't even look at the ball after it is thrown, this confidence, just ask who else?"

"Haha, Lin's first three points tonight are not too early or too late, just right!"

"Just now, Lin was barely able to withstand Hamilton on the defensive end, and he didn't give him a chance to turn over and shoot directly, which also indirectly helped the team achieve a counterattack and fast attack!"

"I feel that Hamilton is not so easy to deal with, he should also be a light enemy, and the next time is the most test of Lin's defense!"

"My, God, Lin at a 0-degree angle on the right has never missed a shot, and I hope this record can be maintained until the end of the finals!"

Philip Saunders on the sidelines also nodded with satisfaction, it seems that his idea is right, even if he is a single defender of the ball, Lin Fei is not useless on the defensive end.

Compared with the three games of the Western Finals, Lin Fei's defense has been improved, at least he will no longer blindly foul, but the habit of taking risks and steals still needs to be changed.

However, before Philip Saunders could finish his rejoicing,

Hamilton on the court rushed up with a cold face, hit Lin Fei with the ball in a high position, turned over and successfully shook the opponent with a shooting feint, and jumped against Lin Fei's chest.

"Bang dang!"

"Beep!"

The basketball bullet box missed, but referee Crawford blew the whistle to signal Lin Fei to foul Hamilton's shooting hitter.

Two free throws.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Hamilton, who walked to the free-throw line, made both free throws and had four points on his way up tonight.

Timberwolves (8) :(6) Pistons.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Philip Saunders got up and yelled at Lin Fei on the court, signaling him to watch out for his fouls.

The ball finally got to Szebiak's hands this time, but after the lesson of G1's defensive end being blown up, Prince's rigorous defense this time made Szebiak's turnaround jumper miss the frame.

"Bang dang!"

The first rebound was dialed out by Olowo Kandi, and the "madman" who followed up quickly and quickly took advantage of a cover from Olo O Kandi, and he jumped directly into the penalty area to deliver a violent dunk.

But the fierce Ben arrived at the horse, and the speed of the defense exceeded the cognition of the "madman".

"Smack!"

In the midst of a loud bang, a bloody hat full of aesthetic violence emerges.

Big Ben used his muscular dragon-like terrifying unicorn arm to force Sprewell to dribble the ball and press it down from the air.

"Bang!"

"Madman" fell to the ground in pain, and the basketball flew out of his hand, and was immediately rolled over and grabbed by Rashid Wallace.

The bald referee tacitly acquiesced to a good hat and signaled that there was no foul and the game continued.

Rashid dodged the Wolves' steal, rolled over and gave the ball to point guard Billups, and the Pistons countered with a fast break.

The "madman" who fell to the ground endured the pain in his back, gritted his teeth, turned over and jumped up, glared at the referee fiercely, and quickly returned to defense.

But Billups had already made his way into the front by this time, and Szebiak could only let go of Prince to chase quickly, but his speed was obviously a little out of track.

Lin Fei chased Hamilton on the wing, and Billups took advantage of the situation to get to the basket and made an easy layup.

"Huh!"

8：8！

The Pistons quickly tied the score.

The Wolves came to the offensive end, faced Rashid Wallace, turned over and made a foul on the shooting hitter who roared Tianzun.

"Beep!"

The wolf king, who walked to the free throw line, took a deep breath and hit both free throws steadily.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

The Pistons' offense, this time it was still aimed at Lin Fei, but it was Billups holding the ball and Hamilton's blocking and pick-and-roll.

"The Madman" was impatient and couldn't get around cover at the first time and collided with Hamilton.

Lin Fei looked at Billups, who was defending without the ball in the high position, and could only try to step forward to delay and interfere.

But Billups' ability to make fouls is quite outstanding, at least a notch higher than Hamilton.

Lin Fei had already committed a foul on his back, and he didn't dare to stick too close, so he could only let go of the shot.

Billups took advantage of the gap when "Madman" did not change, and quickly jumped up to Lin Fei to jump out of the distance.

"Huh!"

Steady hits.

This can be said to be another point under Lin Fei's unfavorable defense, but the wolf king and the "madman" did not blame at all.

At least in the first 4 minutes of tonight, Lin Fei's performance on the defensive end is not an absolute crotch pull, compared with the previous games, his teammates have seen his active efforts on the defensive end.

Philip Saunders called the first long timeout of the opening period, with 7:56 left in the first quarter.

Timberwolves (10) :(10) Pistons.

"Lin, good job, keep it up!"

"Remember, if Hamilton wants to play with the ball, let him play, and the rest of the people are staring at their defenders, this guy doesn't look like a ball-handler no matter how he looks at it!"

"But if the piston is aimed at Lin to block and dismantle, then you must go around the cover and chase the defense as soon as possible, and you must not change the defense!"

Philip Saunders glanced at "Madman", obviously referring to the unfavorable pursuit around the cover just now, which led to Billups having a chance to single Lin Fei.

The "madman" clenched his fists angrily and scolded Crawford in a low voice:

"That Hamilton guy was an obvious move just now, otherwise Lao Tzu wouldn't have been able to keep up with Chauncey!"

Philip Saunders patted the "madman" on the shoulder and comforted:

"Latril, never complain about the referee, we also have mobile cover, only a tougher performance is the best response to unfair decisions!"

"By the way, Lin, don't risk stealing anymore, you can keep not losing position, don't foul, even if you complete the task on the defensive end, Hamilton can't shoot our Timberwolves no matter how accurate he is!"

Lin Fei nodded at the head coach, and was still satisfied with his overall performance on the defensive end of tonight's opening, as long as he worked hard, he would have a clear conscience.

After all, his overall defensive attributes have just reached 46 points.

Hamilton, who was able to hold the ball in the finals, allowed the opponent to only succeed twice in four targeted heads-ups, and at the same time controlled the number of fouls, which is already very good.

Judging from the opening 4 minutes, tonight's finals G2 is more intense and tense than the last one.

The manager didn't take him off and that says it all.

Trenton Hassel also smiled and patted Lin Fei's shoulder next to him, encouraging:

"Lin, come on, you're almost able to defend Hamilton!"

Lin Fei's little nose twitched, how could this sound like he was praising people!

After the timeout, the two teams still started the five Tigers and did not make any substitutions.

The Pistons did not make mistakes, and in the positional battle of the Timberwolves, Lin Fei always had difficulty getting opportunities.

simply reduced the running distance and squatted on the outside to open up the team's offensive space.

Szebiak hit Prince's turnaround jumper with his back, and this time it did.

"Huh!"

Looking back,

Hamilton continued to play Lin Fei with the ball in the high post, and Lin Fei remembered the head coach's words, and did not risk stealing closely, but let go of two steps and put on a standard defensive stance.

Hamilton saw that Lin Fei didn't react after a three-way threat, so he decisively jumped up and scored two points.

"Bang dang!"

The ball really missed, but the rebound was grabbed by Big Ben.

"Smack!"

Olovocandi resisted Big Ben for the first time, and the wolf king quickly turned over and caught it.

Ben Wallace was clearly flawed in the face of the ball, and Szebiak quickly rolled over and rushed up to complete the steal.

"Smack!"

But when Szebiak turned over and passed to "Madman" for a fast attack, he was also a little impatient, and was actually cut off by Billups.

"Smack!"

Billups, who completed the rebound, stabilized the rhythm and missed the outside three-point shot after Rasheed Wallace's blocking.

"Bang dang!"

The Timberwolves grabbed the rebound and counterattacked, and the Pistons quickly returned to defense.

"Bang dang!"

The "madman" broke through the restricted area with a difficult layup that was interfered with by Big Ben, and the bullet box still missed.

Piston offense,

Rasheed Wallace misplaced to meet "Mad Man" with a straight-arm jumper or no.

"Bang dang!"

Both sides then went into a two-minute tie and did not score again until the official timeout.

After the official timeout came back, Hamilton faced Lin Fei and shook the ball and threw one, and this time it finally happened.

"Huh!"

At 12-12, the two teams were tied again.

At the end of the entire first quarter, Lin Fei didn't get another chance to catch the ball, and his defense against Hamilton was also lackluster, allowing the opponent to score 9 points in less than a quarter.

Timberwolves (19) :(19) Pistons.

The game was played in the final 15 seconds of the first quarter, and the two sides were still tied, with the Pistons executing the final attack of the first quarter on the offensive end.

Lin Fei continued to go around to prevent Hamilton from receiving the ball, but Billups still rushed up to make a block, handed the ball to Hamilton, and then quickly opened up the space.

Hamilton put on a shooting posture in front of the frame, and Lin Fei was a little closer this time, his eyes were sharp, and every defensive nerve was tense.

"Lin, just because you want to prevent me, don't dream!"

Hamilton threw out a trash word, pushing the offensive time to 7 seconds, and suddenly a dribble changed direction after a false swing, straight to the side of Lin Fei's left hand.

Perhaps because of the many strong attacks with the ball throughout the first quarter, Hamilton obviously had a huge physical exertion, and the last attack at the end of the quarter was a little reluctant.

Lin Fei's judgment this time was accurate about Hamilton's breakthrough direction, but his body still dragged his legs, allowing Wang Hamilton to pass half of his body in one step.

But then the second step of the breakthrough, Hamilton was clearly a little lacking.

Lin Fei saw this opportunity, his eyes flashed, and his long arm was like a spirit snake, and he quickly attacked under Hamilton's armpit.

"Smack!"

A 60-point steal from the passing line played a crucial role in the crucial moments.

Lin Fei directly stabbed the ball out of Hamilton's hand this time, and saw the "madman" who quickly rushed up to grab the ball on the other side, quickly turned around and strode towards the front court.

"Whoosh!"

"Ratrier, here!"

"Smack!"

The "madman" bent down to grab the basketball one step ahead of Hamilton, and it was directly a long pass that did not stick to the ball, and the basketball flew over the top of the three-point arc and landed accurately in front of Lin Fei, who was fast.

The moment Lin Fei received the ball at this time, he just stepped on the middle line on the right side of the court.

Looking at the basket 14 meters away, he took a deep breath and adjusted his strength, and it was directly a horse archery.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball flew high into the air of the half-court arena at the target center and whizzed towards the basket.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Fei would be a three-point scorer, he struck the iron with a "clang", instantly waking up countless people in their dreams.

Because the shot was far away and powerful, the long rebound bounced very far and fell directly to the left side of the front court near a 45-degree angle.

When Lin Fei shot the basket, he felt that the ball might not hit, so judging the position of the rebound, he was ready to insert only the left 45-degree angle.

However, at this critical moment, Lin Fei found a familiar figure flying by him.

Sprayed the Ferrari's exhaust fumes on Hamilton and Billups, who were chasing behind them.

It was none other than "Mad Man" Sprewell.

"Whoosh!"

So Lin Fei didn't hesitate, turned the steering wheel, and went straight to the right 0-degree angle.

"Smack!"

The "madman" who rushed into the front court and flew to grab the long rebound, watched the flames burning in the pupils of the basket, accelerated to shake off the chasing Billups behind him, stepped into the restricted area, and was about to send a flying dunk directly.

In the first quarter tonight, the "madman" played not comfortably, only scored 4 points on 2-of-7 shooting, and was interfered with by Big Ben many times under the breakthrough basket, and missed the long-range shot.

In particular, the bloody cap that was knocked to the ground with the ball made Sprewell hold his anger in his stomach.

At this time, seeing that the time on the timer was in the last two seconds of the first quarter, Ratrill wanted to vent his anger with a flying dunk in the fast break.

However, at the moment when the "madman" stepped on the restricted area and jumped up to dunk, his eyes once again caught a glimpse of Lin Fei standing at a 0-degree angle on the right side.

At this time, Lin Fei did not wave his hand to ask the "madman" for the ball, after all, his dunk is more certain and can also boost the team's momentum.

"Madman" himself thought the same thing, but he didn't know why, after a moment of thought, his wrist seemed to be out of control, and he still chose to pass the ball to the right 0 degree angle.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei in this position, "Madman" has already given him several assists, and he knows in his heart that Lin Fei will not miss.

Lin Fei was also a little surprised by the fake dunk and true pass of the "madman", but after receiving the ball, he still did not hesitate, and at the moment when the time on the timer reached the last 1 second, he jumped up and shot again.

Hamilton didn't have time to rush up to pounce, and seeing Lin Fei jump out of his hand, he didn't even dare to look at the flight trajectory of the basketball, so he chose to close his eyes directly.

"Huh!"

The second.

At the same time as the basketball hollowed into the net, the red light of the tempered rebound was lit up, and the first quarter of the game ended.

Timberwolves (22) :(19) Pistons.

Lin Fei's three-pointer allowed the Timberwolves to finally break the balance and take a three-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

Throughout the first quarter, the two teams alternated scores and led 11 times, and the intensity of the game was evident.

Lin Fei, who hit the second three-pointer in the same position, rushed up with a smile and high-fived the "madman":

"Ratril, why do you want to pass me when you can dunk the ball so easily?"

The "madman" stared at his hands with round eyes, and said with a look of horror:

"Lin, I don't know why I suddenly passed it to Ling, seeing you standing in the bottom corner of the right side, my hand is completely out of control!"

"Maybe subconsciously I feel that three points is still one point more than two points!"

Lin Fei smiled: "Then fortunately, I still hit it, otherwise I would have wasted a great opportunity!" ”

Sizebiak rushed up and smiled: "Lin, your three-point shooting rate at a 0-degree angle on the right side is 100%!" ”

"Besides, you just missed a half-court super long, how can you miss a second shot in a row?"

Lin Fei and the "madman" looked at each other and nodded one after another.

That seems to make sense!

Although Lin Fei has missed a few three-pointers from G5 to G2 in tonight's finals, he really hasn't missed two shots in a row, and the overall shooting rate is also an anti-human horror.

Even in off-court training, Lin Fei has never missed two consecutive three-pointers.

"Wally, you still know me!"

At the end of the first quarter, the high-definition four-sided screen above everyone's heads also slowly replayed the entire process of the Timberwolves' last counterattack and fast attack in the first quarter from several different camera angles.

Lin Fei and "Madman" are the absolute protagonists of this counterattack fast attack, and the two combined for 3 points, 1 steal, 1 rebound and 1 assist.

Tonight, the famous ESPN commentators Mike Brin and Chartered Forde in front of the sideline commentary stage praised Lin Fei's three-point accuracy, and also praised the "madman" god assist.

"I have to say that this fake dunk after Ratrier's last-minute vacancy is a very difficult assist!"

"Because judging from the video replay, Ratrier has already made a one-handed dunk action after jumping, and then passes again, which requires very strong core strength and coordination of the players!"

"Besides, Ratrier also controlled the time very well, so that Lin Fei could just receive the ball comfortably in the last 1 second!"

"Such high-quality passing, I would say, looking at the entire NBA today, only a few top point guards such as Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, and Mark Jackson can do it!"

The "madman" sitting on the bench of the Timberwolves looked innocent, and he would never have imagined that his so-called uncontrolled wrist was actually praised by the commentator and regarded as a classic Finals assist in NBA history.

Lin Fei played the first 12 minutes, and naturally needed a certain amount of rest in the second quarter, so Philip Saunders could only let Trenton Hassel go up.

But Hamilton didn't rest, and when he saw Hassel coming up, he instantly switched to the familiar off-ball mode.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

After two consecutive off-ball runs on the offensive end, Hamilton's Hassel turned around, receiving two passes from teammates and scoring four points alone.

Lin Fei, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, he was the "mask man who couldn't run to death", and even the big wolf dog was tired to death with this ball-holding power.

After playing the ball for 12 minutes in the first quarter, Lin Fei could obviously feel that Hamilton was tired, but in the second quarter, he switched to the no-ball mode, and instantly filled up again.

This physical fitness, Lin Fei really can't envy it.

Fortunately, Hamilton's mid-range shooting rate is not as good as Lin Fei's three-point perversion, perhaps his physical strength is still slightly affected, and he only hit 1 goal in the next 3 shots.

Philip Saunders let Hassel grit his teeth and support him for 5 minutes, and then quickly replaced Lin Fei again.

Seeing Lin Fei on it, Hamilton instantly switched to ball-holding mode, and suddenly stopped his shot, and the basketball went into the net again.

"Huh!"

The corners of Lin Fei's mouth twitched, isn't Nima bullying?

After a quarter and a half of the game, Hamilton had already scored 18 points, and the Pistons had a five-point lead in the second quarter when the Wolves and the "madmen" did not feel good in the second quarter.

Philip Sanders, who was standing on the sidelines, stared at it and thought that if Hamilton was not solved tonight, the Timberwolves might really be killed by the other party......
