[68] Qingbei's pride, Reggie Miller: Lin's off-ball three-pointer is already the strongest in history!
Qin Dongmei just took a sip of the ice American, and was almost squirted out by Lin Fei.
"Lin Fei, let me tell you the right thing, can you not be a serious joke!"
Lin Fei smiled: "Sister Qin, I'll tell you the right thing, this is the NBA Finals, do you think it's still CUBA?" ”
"The last time I was able to break out in the final quarter, it was all because Rasheed Wallace was sent off!"
"If the Pistons and the Five Tigers were all on the line at the last moment, I might not be able to shoot a single three-pointer in the last 3 minutes, let alone a reversal!"
Qin Dongmei also understands basketball, and she also participated in the women's basketball team in high school, so she naturally understands what Lin Fei said.
"Lin Fei, to be honest, being able to play such a wonderful performance in the first two games of the Western Finals and the Finals has completely exceeded my knowledge of the sport of basketball!"
"I'm sure a lot of fans are doing the same!"
"Especially in yesterday's finals G2, a record-breaking 8 three-pointers and 1.3 seconds of killing, even if it is just this game, it is enough for you to go down in history in the NBA!"
"But again, the NBA is a business league, and most teams think about long-term stability and talent potential!"
"You've only played five good games at the moment, which is shocking and crazy enough, but it's still very difficult to get a contract with an annual salary of 10 million!"
"As for building the team around you as the first core, there seems to be little hope of successful negotiations at the moment, let alone getting involved in the management draft!"
"After all, your style of play is dominated by the ball, in terms of characteristics and style, you are more suitable as the number 2/3 of a team, and I will do my best to fight for you in this regard!"
Lin Fei nodded calmly, as a traverser, he naturally knew better the pertinence and objectivity of Qin Dongmei's words.
In fact, he didn't think that he would really become the boss of bad teams like the Chicago Bulls or the New York Knicks next season, even if the management of these teams gambled on him, but a boss who can't even dribble is really too embarrassing.
And after all, he is still just an overseas rookie, and it is because he has put himself in the right position in the Timberwolves, and the team is about to win the championship, so he has covered up the locker room contradictions.
If you directly become the boss of an NBA team in the new season, the identity and qualifications of overseas players are too shallow, and the technical defects are serious.
will become the fuse for the outbreak of conflicts in the locker room, and how many of those local black players will obey themselves?
As for meddling in the management draft, Lin Fei is just joking, and the current wolf king may not have this right in the Timberwolves.
"Sister Qin, it's still the same sentence, sign a short-term contract within 2 years, if the salary is about the same, it's best to choose a championship-level team!"
In a championship-level team, Lin Fei can continue to play his role as a player, and his own technical defects can also be tolerated by the team.
Then continue to practice in private, develop obscenely, and improve various basketball attributes.
After a season or two, the championship ring is there, the honor is there, the data is there, the qualifications are there, and the technical TMD is also comprehensive.
When the short contract expires, another weak team will be king, or let the original team rebuild the team around him, and officially start his boss championship journey.
Qin Dongmei didn't understand why Lin Fei insisted on signing a short-term contract before the finals started, but now that she has played two finals, she completely understands that Lin Fei is really absolutely confident in her future development.
As an agent, Qin Dongmei also dispelled the last doubts and fully supported Lin Fei's choice.
Between her beautiful eyes, Qin Dongmei nodded slowly and said:
"Well, Lin Fei, I have the same idea as you, with your current technical characteristics, it is perfect as a puzzle piece for a championship team!"
"This can also give full play to your personal greatest advantages and value!"
"Although the Chicago Bulls are a bad team in the East, they are actively recruiting and rebuilding this season, and they are likely to reach a deal with the Lakers O'Neal and jump to the championship level in one fell swoop!"
Lin Fei turned his head to look out the window at night in the city, thinking that Detroit is so beautiful, how prosperous will Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Miami be?
In the latest news from the Los Angeles Lakers, O'Neal decisively rejected the management's offer of a salary cut to renew his contract.
With O'Neal only one year left on his contract, the Lakers will inevitably choose to trade him out as soon as possible in exchange for a more potential new star to assist Kobe.
"It's a good choice to team up with O'Neal, his rebounding ability, high post pick-and-roll and playmaking ability are not inferior to Garnett, which will make me more comfortable on the offensive end!"
"But if the Bulls want to get O'Neal, I'm afraid there is no chance, and the Miami Heat should be the most competitive!"
Qin Dongmei's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, and she stared at Lin Fei with great curiosity:
"Lin Fei, do you also think the Miami Heat have the best chance of getting O'Neal? This is the conclusion that I have come to after analyzing this year's free market situation for a long time! ”
Lin Fei said in his heart, no matter how professional your analysis is, how can it be compared to a traverser?
But then again, Lin Fei is now in a parallel world after all, plus the Lakers were eliminated in the Western Finals, and he played so well in the finals.
This huge butterfly effect is likely to indirectly affect the NBA free agency market this year.
O'Neal must not have run away, but whether he will go to the Heat or not, it's really uncertain.
Raising his eyebrows and touching the bridge of his high nose, which was as handsome as Peng Yuyan, Lin Fei smiled casually: "Haha, just guess!" ”
"By the way, Sister Qin, you went to negotiate with the management of several NBA teams this time, do you want to hire two bodyguards?"
"You look so insecure, I'm really afraid that those foreigners will plot against you! Don't worry, the money for hiring a bodyguard is on my account! ”
Qin Dongmei's thin lips pursed, and Lin Fei glanced at Lin Fei and said:
"Look at you, you haven't signed a million-dollar contract yet, and now you're already floating! You'd better hire two bodyguards for yourself, I'm afraid that the female fans will plot against you! ”
"Don't worry, my sister has practiced taekwondo!"
……
Lin Fei's supernatural performance in the second game of the finals, and his three-point kill in the last 1.3 seconds also caused huge repercussions in the United States and the Celestial Empire.
In order to hype up the popularity of the finals, ESPN's sports radio station specially produced a special discussion around Lin Feilai.
In this panel discussion, ESPN not only invited retired celebrities "Magic" Johnson and "Big Bird" Larry Bird,
At the same time, the three current NBA marksmen were also invited:
Reggie Miller of the Pacers, Ray Allen of the SuperSonics, Peja of the Kings.
"Erwin, who also shined in the Finals in his rookie season, how would you evaluate Lin's performance in the first two games of this year's Finals from the perspective of a retired superstar?"
As the undisputed No. 1 point guard in NBA history, "Magic" Johnson has a brilliant career, with 5 championships, three regular season MVPs and three Finals MVPs.
Before Michael Jordan won his second triple championship, the first person in league history was once in the reign of "Magic".
"Obviously, Lin's performance in the Finals is even more incredible, it's a great miracle in the NBA!"
"After all, I'm the top pick, and Lin is just an Asian draft, and his counterattack and success have changed the NBA's prejudice against Asian guards, which is a historic thing!"
"But in addition to Lin's 1.3-second kill, we must see the efforts of the whole Timberwolves team, and you can't win the championship with only three-point shots!"
"Big Bird" Larry Bird is obviously more optimistic about Lin Fei:
"Regardless of whether the Timberwolves can win the championship this year, Lin has played the best performance of a rookie who has lost the draft, I believe this is definitely not luck, the new season is the stage for Lin to fully bloom!"
Reggie Miller: "Lin's three-pointer in the Finals gave me hope for the future of the league, and his off-ball running awareness and shooting speed have surpassed me at my peak!" ”
Ray Allen: "I've looked at Lin's game footage and his catch-and-shoot is absolutely textbook and has more stealth talent!" ”
Peja: "Lin is definitely a genius when it comes to three-point shooting alone, his talent is not visible to the naked eye, but deep in the blood!" ”
This side of the Celestial Empire.
From the Western Finals G5 to the Finals G2, a total of five games, in more than ten days, Lin Fei's rapid popularity can be described as not flying, soaring into the sky.
Schools, office buildings, subways and buses, streets and alleys across the country, as long as there are NBA fans, there is a figure talking about Lin Fei.
Especially after G2 Lin Fei hit 8 three-pointers + the last 1.3 seconds in the finals,
The 7 p.m. prime-time news of the Celestial Dynasty also spent 15 seconds at the end of the program to broadcast Lin Fei's wonderful performance in the NBA Finals.
The exclusive reporter of the five sets of sports stations also interviewed the Tianchao men's basketball Olympic training camp in the Workers' Gymnasium.
interviewed the coach of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team, "Silver Fox" Del Harris, as well as players such as Da Yao and Roughly for Lin Fei's assumptions and arrangements after returning to China and joining the team.
At the same time, the reporters of the five sets also came to Qingbei University and interviewed the principal, Lin Fei's freshman class teacher and the coach of the school team.
Everyone's faces were radiant, and the whole Qingbei felt honored to be able to walk out of an NBA player like Lin Fei.
And the new batch of freshmen who joined the school team of Tsinghua University also took Lin Fei as their role model, looking forward to one day realizing their NBA dreams.
"Phineas is my idol, if my three-point shot can be half as accurate as his, it shouldn't be a problem to get into the CBA, right?"
"There are Qingbei champions every year, but Fei Ge is a man who scored 29 points in the NBA Finals and dedicated his lore, and it is difficult to have one in a hundred years!"
"When Feige returns to China and enters the national team in the offseason, I must go to the Workers' Gymnasium to ask him for an autograph, wear Feige's autographed jersey, can I dunk successfully at 182?"
June 10, Detroit.
Auburn Hills Palace Arena.
Amid the cheers and shouts of more than 22,000 Pistons home fans, the third game of the 03-04 NBA Finals officially began.
As the so-called winning team does not need to change, Philip Saunders still continued the starting lineup of the last game tonight, and Lin Fei and "Madman" partnered in the backcourt again.
Larry Brown's Pistons coaching team summed up the lessons learned from G2's big comeback killing,
The Pistons Five are back in the mood and are bound to take advantage of home-court advantage to pull one back tonight.
Ben Wallace's mother and several siblings also came to the front row tonight to cheer on Big Ben and the Pistons.
Ben Wallace, the NBA's most inspirational draft pick, was born into a broken slum family, grew up without a father, and his mother had to raise 11 children on a modest income, and Big Ben was the 10th in the family.
Now that Big Ben has made a name for himself in the NBA and received an annual salary of tens of millions, his mother and siblings have finally been able to get out of the sea of suffering.
Whenever he sees his mother and siblings sitting on the sidelines, Big Ben can gain endless strength, strengthen his inner faith, and win the game with the toughest defense.
Rashid Wallace's wife, Fatima, was also on hand and warned her husband before the game that if he couldn't win tonight's match, he wouldn't want to touch her for a month.
Detroit is a big city after all, and there are many stars who came to the front row of the courtside tonight to watch the game.
In addition to some singers and movie stars in the entertainment industry, NBA current stars Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, two three-point shooters, also came to the scene.
and partnered with Mike Brin to become the guest commentator of G3 in tonight's finals.
Steve Nash, who has also decided to join the Suns, also came to the sidelines tonight with his friend Dirk Nowitzki, his teammate in the Mavericks.
As early as the warm-up session before the game, Nash took the initiative to talk with Lin Fei on the sidelines.
For Nash, who is not approachable and has no shelves, Lin Fei is also happy to chat a few more words.
I have to say that if the ball is played well, this network will be invisibly broadened, and the stars can revolve around you.
Although Nash did not directly say anything about recruiting Lin Fei, Lin Fei could see that since Nash had confirmed to join the Suns, it was definitely not as simple as watching the game tonight.
Lin Fei had actually thought about joining the Suns in the new season and partnering with Nash, a first-class point guard, in the backcourt, so that his off-ball potential on the offensive end would inevitably be brought into full play.
But when I think of the two of them on the defensive end, it is not pleasant for the backcourt combination to be stabbed by 10,000 people.
Just in the afternoon, when he resisted the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, Lin Fei had already added the 280 free attributes he had accumulated in the past two days to his defense.
But this time, the 280 free attribute only increased by 6 defensive points, and the exchange ratio was getting lower and lower.
The overall defensive stat has increased from 46 points to 52 points, but the steal attribute has reached 65 points, which is still the strongest of the five defensive sub-categories.
If you want to improve your defense quickly, you can't do it anymore.
At least during this round of finals, it may be difficult for Lin Fei's defensive value to reach the passing line of 60 points.
However, with offseason training and Olympic game rewards, I believe that before the new season begins, the defensive attributes should be able to improve to the middle level of NBA guard players, right?
Thinking about it this way, in fact, joining the Suns and Nash is still a good choice, depending on whether the Suns' management is sincere.
The clock was seven o'clock in the evening, and the game officially began.
The starting five Tigers on the Timberwolves' side are:
Point Guard (PG): Latrill Sprewell,
Scoring Guard (SG): Lin Fei,
Small Forward (SF): Wally Szebiak,
Power Forward (PF): Kevin Garnett,
Center (C): Olovo Kandi.
The starting five on the Detroit Pistons' side 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.
In the opening game, it was still Big Ben who took the lead in jumping the ball successfully, and the Pistons attacked.
The home fans at Auburn Hills Palace were furious, shouting to beat the Wolves and the Timberwolves.
Many fans even shouted insults, with hideous faces.
Sure enough, the fans of the Pistons are fierce, otherwise they would not have provoked Artest to beat him to death.
Lin Fei looked at the audience before the game, and there were many English slogans and warning signs against him:
"Lin, the Auburn Hills Palace Arena is forbidden to open!"
"There's only one best undrafted pick in the NBA Finals, and that's Ben Wallace!"
"The 1.3-second lore has exhausted all the luck God gave Lin, and tonight's Celestial Empire draft will be beaten back to its original shape!"
On the pitch,
Hamilton came up in the first round and caught the ball with his back to Lin Fei, and he turned over and made a sudden stop-and-go jump shot, which hit it steadily.
"Huh!"
Lin Fei's failed defense was really not enough to see on the finals stage, and in the face of Hamilton, who was full of physical strength in the opening game, he could only barely defend himself, hoping that the opponent's shooting would not be accurate.
ball conversion,
The change of defense of the Pistons Five Tigers was tight and smooth, and Lin Fei naturally did not get any chance in the positional battle.
However, this time Lin Fei did not choose to squat in the bottom corner, but continued to block and cover with the wolf king holding the ball at the top of the arc.
The wolf king blocked Hamilton, and Rashid Wallace immediately switched defenses towards Lin Fei's side.
Lin Fei ran a little far this time, making the Roaring Tianzun completely out of the defense of the Wolf King.
And at this time, the wolf king quickly pushed Hamilton away, took a big and small step, and made a decisive shot near the free throw line.
This kind of mid-distance, which is almost equivalent to an empty position, and the wolf king, who is full of physical strength at the beginning, is naturally proficient.
"Huh!"
Timberwolves (2) :(2) Pistons.
Standing on the sidelines, Philip Saunders smiled and nodded, which is exactly one of the main tactics of the Timberwolves on the offensive end tonight.
After Lin Fei's crazy performance of 55 points in the first two games, the Detroit Pistons have been completely scared, and Lin Fei's outside deterrence can be said to have reached the top in history.
Therefore, when the Pistons and the Five Tigers are all present tonight, it is difficult for Lin Fei to have an easy chance to catch the ball and shoot.
Philip Saunders did the opposite, attracting Rashid Wallace's change of defense through Lin Fei and the Wolf King.
Let the Wolf King beat Hamilton Jr. in a high position, which can not only improve the offensive efficiency of the Wolf King, but also consume Hamilton's defensive physical strength and affect the offensive state.
Of course, this 2/4 block and pick and roll tactic is very simple, and the Pistons will not be easily fooled.
In the previous two finals, the wolf king and Lin Fei also played similar cooperation, but the effect was not ideal.
Because under normal circumstances, after the wolf king and Lin Fei block and dismantle the cover, if the quality is not good, Hamilton can directly go around the defense.
And Rashid Wallace was only able to quickly come back to his senses to defend against the Wolf King after a slight delay.
And Ben Wallace, who is in the low post, may also come up at any time according to the situation.
Therefore, this 2/4 position of the high blocking and dismantling cover tactics is very demanding on the quality of blocking and dismantling, and the opportunity is not absolute.
At the same time, Lin Fei's side must also be able to completely involve Rashid Wallace in order for the wolf king to gain a good counterpoint advantage.
But at least the opening block is played, which can be regarded as a good omen.
Sure enough, in the subsequent attack, Lin Fei and the Wolf King played a high position to block the ball again.
This time Hamilton's pursuit was very timely, and Rashid Wallace only delayed a little before quickly returning to defend against the Wolves.
And the wolf king's decisive high jump shot was also successfully interfered with by Rashid Wallace.
"Bang dang!"
"Huh!"
But the ball hit the frame after hitting the board, and the wolf king had two consecutive shots in the opening game, showing a pretty good state and feel.
The wolf king in the defense also roared towards the audience on the left, and the red-haired old monster standing in the second row watching the game was none other than the "big bug" Rodman who was fighting with Garnett on social media.
"Kevin, this guy even struggled to beat a Rashid Wallace, and he had to use Lin's blocking to create a dislocation, what a shame for the big forwards!"
