[74] Continuous ultra-long launches, the Timberwolves refuse to be reversed!
This is a tactical coordination, and the "alien" Kassel accurately judged the situation in the front court.
When the Pistons' defense expanded and their focus and attention were on Lin Fei, they successfully assisted Olowo Kandi, who was flying down, to easily complete the dunk.
Under this violent dunk, the "parallel champion" also got 7 points and 4 rebounds tonight, although it is not much, but it is also the highest score in the 5 games of the finals.
Olowo Kandi, who dunked and landed, puffed out his chest at the Pistons fans outside the baseline and roared loudly:
"Call again! You're going to die tonight! ”
The violent behavior of the Pistons home fans tonight has completely angered every player on the Timberwolves.
Even if the Wolves and "Madman" were sent off, every remaining player was full of fighting spirit and determined to defend the victory to the death, and these hateful Pistons fans could not be laughed at.
Timberwolves (78) :(64) Pistons.
The Pistons attacked, and Hamilton quickly leaned over to Maymet Oku and exchanged a few words.
said that if this situation is encountered again, he only needs to delay Lin Fei for the first time, and when he bypasses the cover, he can quickly change back to avoid Olowo Kandi from dunking easily.
Now that Big Ben is sent off, and Rasheed Wallace is facing the accurate three-pointer Szebiak in the corner, it will be difficult for him to fill in the box like Ben Wallace once the Timberwolves player bursts into the restricted area.
Oku nodded again and again, but there was some bitterness in his heart, and he had to change the defense and delay and change back, and if the timing was not grasped well, it was very easy to make mistakes.
It's too difficult for a 2.11-meter-tall white power center weighing 250 pounds, with a center of gravity that is too high and moves slowly.
Larry Brown, who was sitting on the sidelines of the Pistons, had a solemn face and was ready to replace Oku with Corris.
It would have been better to have Corris at small forward go against Szebiak and Rasheed Wallace to switch to center on Olowokandi.
However, Larry Brown is still worried about Rashid Wallace's ankle injury, and even if he has been closed, it can't be compared to his full health.
On the court, the Timberwolves' defense in the restricted area, which lost the Wolves king, obviously collapsed, which made the Pistons no longer obsessed with targeting Lin Fei, a defensive colander.
Billups held the ball high on the right and forced the "Alien" Cassel to speed into the box with Rashid Wallace's cover.
"Whoosh!"
Oku held off Olovokandi on the side of the box and gave Billups an easy layup for two points.
"Huh!"
The ball converts, and the Timberwolves attack.
This time it was still Olovo Kandi's upward arc top cover, but before Lin Fei could run over with the cover, Hamilton fell to the ground with an exaggerated movement.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle blew and a foul was blown for a cover push by Olovokandi.
Olovocandi's eyes widened with a stunned expression, he turned over and spread his hands to the referee, and explained excitedly:
"Did I push someone for a foul? OMG, I didn't even reach out at all, Richard, this hateful guy is obviously faking a fall! ”
The referee ignored Olovocandi's complaints and signaled for a direct technical foul to be handed in.
Lin Fei came over and patted Oloo Cannon on the ass, and hurriedly signaled him to stop in time, after all, Oloo Cannon had already eaten a technical foul, and another one would be sent off directly.
Without the Wolves King and without Olovo Kandi, the Timberwolves' restricted area is completely finished.
Substitute center Johnson Sr., 37 years old and likely to retire at the end of the season due to injury, played just five minutes in the Finals with no stats other than one foul.
Then there's white power forward Mark Madsay, who doesn't have the same offense and defense, and he also doesn't have the opportunity to play in the Finals.
But Philip Sanders, who was standing in front of the Timberwolves bench at this time, had already considered the possibility of making Mark Madplay play.
In extraordinary times, it is necessary to treat them very well.
It is clear from the high-definition quad-screen replay above everyone's heads that Olovocandi's cover did not get started, nor did he use his torso to push Hamilton.
Hamilton: It's a very obvious fake fall, but it's quite realistic.
The referee tonight has been taking care of the Pistons in terms of blowing penalties, and it is clear that he hopes that the Pistons can catch up with the score and play another exciting and anxious game.
In the face of this obvious wrong decision, the Pistons fans at home were shameless and continued to taunt and shout.
"Bang dang!"
"Huh!"
Hamilton, who walked to the free throw line, also missed free throws, and only made one of two free throws.
Lin Fei finally got the opportunity to punish Oku on the offensive end this time, seized the fleeting opportunity, and shot a three-point shot at a 30-degree angle on the right side.
"Huh!"
The Pistons hit the final offensive of the third quarter, Oku's high jumper missed, but Rasheed Wallace delivered a crucial buzzer-beating dunk.
"Boom!"
Timberwolves (81) :(69) Pistons.
At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons once again chased the margin to 12 points.
In the absence of both the Wolf King and the "madman" on the Timberwolves' side, the Pistons fighting at home still retain a huge reversal suspense.
Lin Fei played in the third quarter, and only played 3 minutes at the end of the second quarter and 2 minutes at the end of the third quarter, a total of 5 minutes, he shot 5 of 6 and scored 18 points with free throws.
This scoring efficiency is simply terrifying.
"Lin, I scored 18 points in 5 minutes on the court, I'm afraid this is another record in the finals, right?"
"In the next fourth quarter, the Timberwolves will inevitably face a huge dilemma, whether they can keep the lead, it depends on how accurate Lin's three points can be!"
Charles Barkley, who was accidentally injured and kicked by the "madman", did not change his position of "Lin Fu", and hoped that the Timberwolves could hold tonight's Tianwang Mountain.
Because of the brainless behavior of the Pistons' home fans, the team's character has been completely ruined.
I'm afraid that now those neutral fans around the world who are watching the live Finals in front of the TV have also begun to support the Timberwolves because these unqualified fans hate the Pistons.
The break between the first, second and third quarters of an NBA game is 130 seconds.
Philip Saunders surrounded his players, with a tactical board and markers in hand, once again emphasizing the offensive and defensive tactics without the Wolves and the "madmen".
Feeling the resolute gaze of his teammates and the determination to fight to the death with the same enemy, Lin Fei also had a new understanding of the clash between players and fans tonight.
No matter how good the players like Ben Wallace, Artest, and "Martial Saint" Jackson are, they have countless fans because of their tough performance.
But fighting is a violation of sportsmanship after all, and no matter how hard your fists are, you can't win the NBA Finals.
If the "madman" really rushed to the stands tonight to beat up the fans, the wolf king also fought with the fan who smashed him with a drink when he walked to the players' tunnel.
Just like Artest, Xiao Ao, and Martial Saint in the original world, let the impulsive devil dominate him.
The Timberwolves can no longer be justified in this clash between players and fans, and it may be the arrogant Pistons fans who win sympathy.
In this way, it will be difficult for the Timberwolves to reunite at the last moment, and there is a high probability that they will be reversed by the Pistons in the final quarter and lose to Tianwang Mountain.
Even in the end, they lost the finals and the O'Brien Cup because of this riot.
So at this moment, Lin Fei thought that the wolf king was not cowardly, but really cared about the championship, and suppressed the anger and impulse in his heart for the championship.
Compared to players like Big Ben, Atai and Xiao O, the Wolf King is more deserving of the victory in this game.
In the away team's locker room at this time,
The wolf king stared at the TV screen, his eyes burning, his fists clenched, and he cheered for every teammate who fought on the field in his heart.
As long as he wins the game, his patience tonight will be worth it.
But the Timberwolves' team doctor frowned after examining "Madman" Sprewell's knee injury.
"Mad Man" suffered significant kneecap and ligament contusions in his knee after colliding with Big Ben.
Even if he is not banned by the league after the game, he will most likely not be able to participate in Game 6 of the Finals when he returns to the Target Center Arena two days later.
After the start of the fourth quarter,
Philip Saunders continues to field a five-man lineup of Kassel, Lin Fei, Hassel, Szebiak and Olovokandi.
Kassel, Lin Fei and Hassel didn't play long tonight, so they could fully support the game until the end of the game physically.
Szebiak and Olovocandi played longer, but a clash halted the game for more than 20 minutes, which was a blessing in disguise, which also gave the two enough time to rest.
Of course, the Pistons and Tigers also got enough rest through the pause of the conflict, and both sides can be said to have taken advantage of it.
The Timberwolves attacked first in the last quarter,
"Alien" Cassel seized the gap in the Pistons' restricted area, broke through the basket with Olovocandi's cover, and threw two points in the process.
"Huh!"
Billups borrowed a pick-and-roll from Oku, misplaced Olowokandi, and made a breakthrough layup that caused a foul on the opponent's shooting player.
"Beep!"
After receiving this foul, Olovokandi has already committed four fouls.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
Billups was solid in key moments, making both free throws from the free throw line.
Coming to the offensive end.
Lin Fei borrowed Olovo Kandi's cover at the top of the arc to accelerate the run, but this time it didn't delay Hamilton's pursuit.
So he suddenly stopped and ran back, went around the same way and borrowed Olovo Kandi to cover at the top of the arc for the second time in a row, and accelerated to the right three-point line at a 45-degree angle.
This time, Hamilton was finally thrown out of two positions, and Oku had to quickly switch defenses.
Kassel's pass was accurately guided, and Lin Fei jumped to catch the ball against the stumbling Oku and made a lightning shot.
"Bang dang!"
This ball may have been rushed by Lin Fei, who pursued the speed of the shot too much, missed the basketball bullet frame, and the long rebound was directly obtained by Billups.
After Billups got the ball, he shook off Cassel with a back dribble and accelerated directly to the frontcourt, and the Pistons' counterattack momentum was mighty.
The Pistons fans at home were howling wildly, and the unqualified cursing was still in their ears.
"Reversal, reversal ......"
"Kevin, this coward, is also worthy of leading the team to win the championship? I wonder how many cuckolds his wife brought him! ”
"Ratrill was glad he didn't rush up just now, otherwise I would have really killed him half to death!"
Security guards with batons patrolled the stands aisle of the spectator seats, but there were still plenty of Pistons fans arrogant.
"Hey man, please put away the baton in your hand, don't always dangle it in front of my eyes, you TMD affects me watching the game, you know?"
On the field, Billups was interfered with by Hassell's defense in the fast attack, and a beautiful unseen cross was made during the march, and Prince, who accelerated up on the left side, received the ball and rushed straight to the penalty area.
Flying up is another big windmill dunk.
"Boom!"
In one of the Timberwolves' subsequent offensive rounds, the adventurous pass of "Alien" Cassel finally went wrong and was directly stabbed by Hamilton on Lin Fei's side.
"Smack!"
The Pistons once again played a wonderful counter-attack fast break.
This time, Billups' outside shooting confidence was completely out, receiving a pass from Hamilton and sending a chase three-pointer two steps beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc.
Today, when the Splash Brothers have not yet been born, there are very few players in the league who dare to shoot three-pointers in the fast break and use them as a conventional weapon.
Maddie counts as one, and Billups counts as one.
"Huh!"
Larry Brown, who was sitting in the Pistons' sideline coach's bench, disagreed with Billups' three-point option in the fast break, because the Pistons could have made a solid two-point basket.
But now that Billups has made the shot, Larry Brown has nothing to say, after all, this kind of chasing three-pointers is very much to boost the team's momentum.
Billups, who hit a three-pointer, threw his fist at the Timberwolves bench and roared, and the pressure instantly came to the Timberwolves' side.
As the Pistons came up in the final quarter and quickly blasted out a wave of 7:2,
The margin was also forced to close to 7 points.
In the face of the surging cheers and shouts at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, Philip Saunders could only call another long timeout to get his players in tune.
Although he knew that Lin Fei's three-point shot could not always remain at a super god shooting rate close to 100%,
But a three-point shot just now still made Philip Saunders feel worried and conflicted.
Now that the Pistons don't have Ben Wallace to guard the basket, if Kassel, Szebiak and others hit the basket more, it would be a safer way for the Timberwolves to attack.
But Philip Saunders is still more inclined to Lin Fei in offensive tactics, after all, three points are one more point than two points, and 2 of 3 shots are equivalent to three consecutive baskets.
And Lin Fei's inexplicable three-point shot has always been the best weapon to destroy the Pistons' counterattack.
"Next, we're going to give Lin more elevator doors and a double-cover strategy, Sam, if you're ready to deliver shells to Lin at all times!"
Philip Saunders' eyes were full of trust and respect, and he patted Lin Fei on the shoulder and said:
"Lin, just throw the ball when you catch it, don't have any burden!"
"You've saved the team several times in the Western Conference Finals and Finals, and I'm sure you can be the same as the Timberwolves tonight and help the team win to the end!"
Lin Fei looked at the trusting eyes of the head coach and teammates, gritted his teeth and nodded, the beads of sweat on his forehead shining with confidence:
"Sam, give me the ball, I can do it!"
After the timeout, the Timberwolves baseline serve and attack.
Cassel dribbled up front and confronted Billups on the left perimeter.
Lin Fei used his body to resist Hamilton in the right high position, and with the blessing of appropriate weight gain and tenfold strength training card, the current Lin Fei is actually not inferior to the thin Hamilton in terms of strength.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Fei, who was pushing Hamilton hard, suddenly retreated and ran back, and at the top of the arc with the help of Szzczebiak and Olovokandi's elevator door cover, he directly stabbed out of the three-point line.
After a quick stop and turnover, he received a pass from Cassel, and at a position two meters away from the three-point line, he made a decisive jump and shot from a distance.
Hamilton, Rashid Wallace and Oku were all delayed by the elevator doors of Olovokandi and Szebiak,
The five men were entangled near the top of the arc, Hamilton didn't catch up, and Rashid and Oku obviously hesitated in the choice of rushing out to defend Lin Fei in the first place, and there was also a deviation in communication.
If both men choose to save, the box will be completely empty, and Cassel will definitely choose to make a high-profile basket, and the Timberwolves will be a solid two-point attack.
In addition, Lin Fei is a super long three-point 10 meters away from the basket after all, and he can't save it anyway, and the Pistons players still hope that Lin Fei will hit the iron with three points.
After all, he hit the iron after the last three-pointer, and no matter how accurate the shooter is, he can't keep going in.
However......
"Huh!"
The crisp sound of brushing the net was like a sharp bayonet, piercing directly into the heart of every Pistons player.
Accurate, this girl's three points are really accurate!
The ball was converted, Billups gave the ball to Hamilton with his back this time, and Hamilton turned over and threw one against Lin Fei decisively.
"Huh!"
Looking back, it's still the same recipe, it's still the same elevator door, and it turns out that this tactic works so well.
Rashid Wallace and Oku hesitated again when they switched defenses, and Lin Fei took a pass from Kassel and shot another shot decisively.
"Huh!"
Lin Fei scored three points again.
The seventh.
Larry Brown on the sidelines jumped up angrily and shouted to change the defense, why not change the defense.
Rashid Wallace scolded angrily, rushed up and quickly exchanged a few words with Oku, and then a similar elevator door cover, he went up to change the defense as soon as possible, and Oku stared at the Timberwolves player's downward catch.
On the Pistons' side, Oku and Billups blocked and picked up the ball in a misplaced position and decisively shot a high jumper near the right axis.
"Huh!"
There are also.
Seeing that the two sides began to soar into points, the Pistons fans at home immediately became nervous and anxious.
Lin Fei took three points and three points on his side, and the Pistons only scored two points and two points.
In addition, it was still 10 points behind others, and if it continues like this, it will be more and more difficult to reverse.
With 7 minutes and 16 seconds left on the timer until the end of the fourth quarter, there wasn't much time left for the Pistons.
"OMG, how could this Lin be so accurate? Two ultra-long three points in a row, and they are all hollow into the net! ”
"We must not let this Asian kid score another three points, we must give him something real!"
"This Celestial Empire kid will definitely strike iron next time, he will definitely not be able to hit three in a row, otherwise every man here can break me!"
The last fan who shouted loudly was a white beauty with a hot body in a miniskirt showing her long legs in the second-floor stands.
As soon as she said this, all the male fans around her turned their heads and looked sideways at him.
"Ah......h This sexy girl can't be crazy, right? ”
"It looks like you're in good shape, you shouldn't be talking if it doesn't count, right?"
"I'm a Pistons fan, how can I start expecting Lin to continue to hit the next three-pointer? Am I normal? ”
"Hey man, you're not alone!"
