Facing Hamilton, who liked to fake falls, Lin Fei asked knowingly, then raised his sword eyebrows, and pinched his relatively strong nose bone with his fingers.

"Aliens" Kassel and Sizebiak quickly rushed up and high-fived Lin Fei excitedly:

"Lin, that's good!"

"Lin, I'm really sorry, I passed the ball big again, but your self-throwing after hitting the board vigorously is really too handsome!"

Lin Fei smiled at Si Zebiak and said, "Wally, I've long been used to your passing!" ”

Just now, Hamilton flew up and slapped Lin Fei's face and nose bone from behind,

Both Cassel and Szebiak could see from behind them, and even heard a loud slap in the face.

Thinking that this shot must not be light, it is likely to directly shatter Lin Fei's nose bone.

But to the surprise of the two, Lin Fei not only did not have the slightest expression of pain, but there was not even any trace of being slapped vigorously on his face, and the whole person looked vigorous.

Instead, Richard Hamilton, who maliciously slapped his face, fell to the ground in pain, holding his hand that hit the bridge of Lin Fei's nose, and his facial features under the mask were already distorted in pain.

"Lin, is your face okay? This...... What's going on? ”

Cassel frowned in bewilderment, and Sizebiak was also surprised.

Billups and Prince quickly rushed to inquire about Hamilton, and the Pistons and Timberwolves players were once again on edge.

But the players of the Pistons team are at a loss after all, because the contact between the two just now, everyone can see clearly, it was Hamilton who deliberately rushed up and slapped Lin Fei in the face vigorously.

But I didn't expect that the person who was "slapped in the face" in the end was still himself.

Lin Fei also pretended to be stunned and spread out his hands, and glanced at Hamilton, who was still lying on the ground:

"To be honest, I don't know, isn't he acting? It could only be that the bridge of my nose was too strong, and it hurt his palm! ”

"There is an old saying in our Celestial Empire: Heaven can still live if you do evil, but you can't live if you do it yourself!"

On the one hand, Philip Saunders was happy with Lin Fei's 3+1 at the critical moment, which can be said to have almost helped the Timberwolves hold on to tonight's victory in Tianwangshan.

On the other hand, he was also worried that Lin Fei's face would be hurt, but Hamilton saw it most clearly from the sidelines, and he was indeed too ruthless.

But now Lin Fei and Cassel Szebiak are talking and laughing, and they don't look like they are injured at all, but it is Hamilton who is lying on the ground in pain.

Philip Saunders couldn't help but touch the back of his head with his hand, this situation was too weird.

"Whoosh!"

The team doctor quickly trotted onto the court and checked Hamilton and Lin Fei's physical condition.

After the examination of the team doctor, Lin Fei's face and nose bone did not have any injuries and were intact.

Lin Fei's nose was beaten to the point of bleeding several times before, but now Hamilton's powerful slap not only did not hurt the bridge of the nose, but even the nosebleed.

It also made Thomas, the Pistons' team doctor, widen his eyes and feel incomprehensible.

Philip Saunders was relieved, but after looking up and watching the replay of the high-definition four-sided screen above his head, he still took the initiative to protest to the referee.

It is believed that Hamilton's face slap behind him this time is a serious violation of sportsmanship, and it is simply aimed at people rather than basketball, and at least it should be upgraded to a first-degree malicious foul.

The situation on Hamilton's side was much more serious, and the two Pistons team doctors looked quite solemn after the initial examination, and they all frowned, and helped Hamilton back to the locker room.

The exact hand injury is under wraps, but depending on the situation, Hamilton will not play again in the last minute tonight.

When walking past Lin Fei, Hamilton lowered his head and deliberately didn't dare to look at the other party, and his neck even shrank in fear subconsciously.

Is this guy a devil crawling out of hell?

After listening to the team doctor's secret briefing on Hamilton's injury, head coach Larry Brown frowned and his eyes flashed with anxiety.

The Pistons fans at home were also all confused, and the fans who didn't see the situation clearly were still loudly insulting Lin Fei, demanding direct expulsion and additional bans.

But after seeing the slow replay from different camera angles on the high-definition four-sided screen, the fans who still had a little face stopped talking, and Hamilton was obviously asking for his own hardship!

"What's the situation? Timberwolves, the No. 22 nose bone, can't it be made of steel? ”

"What kind of steel can shake Hamilton's palm so much? Is this too scary? ”

"How hard did Hamilton slap him? You deserve it, you deserve it! ”

Seeing that the Pistons have no hope of turning the tables, some fans who have lost their minds have begun to give up on themselves.

After discussion between the referee and the technical desk staff, Hamilton's first-degree malicious foul was finally added.

Although the person who was seriously injured was Hamilton and not Lin Fei, it is obvious from repeated re-watching of the video that Hamilton's slap in the face this time was definitely an intentional evildoer.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Lin Fei, who walked to the free throw line, breathed a sigh of relief, and both free throws were safe.

Timberwolves (101) :(93) Pistons.

Lin Fei scored 5 points in a row at the critical moment, bringing the Timberwolves' lead in the last 1 minute to 8 points, which can basically be said to have sealed the victory.

On the timer, there was only 1 minute 06 seconds left until the end of the final quarter.

Larry Brown called the Pistons' last long timeout in regulation time.

The entire Auburn Hills Palace Arena was now silent under a sense of loss and foreboding.

"OMG, terrifying Lin, he is the well-deserved MVP of tonight's finals battle of Tianwang Mountain!"

"At the last moment, this self-throwing and self-grabbing three-point game can really be said to be a stroke of genius, it seems that a player with accurate three-point points like Lin is also very professional in the rebound distance and position after finding the board!"

"Here Lin made his ninth three-pointer tonight, breaking the record for the number of three-pointers he made in a single game in the NBA Finals held by G2!"

"At the same time, Lin has hit a total of 25 three-pointers in this round of the finals, which also broke the record for the number of three-point shots in a single-round series in the finals!"

"At least in the entire playoffs this year, Lin deserves the title of three-point king!"

Kenny Smith was also shocked and thrilled by Lin Fei's performance in the final moments:

"Lin made 9 of 11 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws tonight, and he has scored 32 points like crazy, the highest in the game, and also set a new record for single-game scoring in the individual finals!"

"This is an overseas undrafted draft pick from the Celestial Empire, and the miracle of his rookie season continues!"

“crazy，Lin！”

Standing on the sidelines of the Pistons, Darko Milicic has been completely conquered by Lin Fei's crazy performance in the fourth quarter tonight.

originally thought that after G3 and G4, Lin Fei had completely hit the rookie wall, and there would be no more performance in this round of the finals.

But he didn't expect that the short-term underestimation was just to pave the way for Lin Fei's bigger outburst.

At this time, Milicic was bitter in his heart, in his opinion, last year's list of eyes should be Lin Fei, and he is not worthy!

Soon after the timeout, Billups tried a three-point shot from the outside, but Rasheed Wallace, who grabbed the offensive rebound, completed the dunk.

"Boom!"

Timberwolves (101) :(95) Pistons.

Kassel held the ball in front of the court to press the time, Billups pressed wildly, and the ball was quickly distributed to Szebiak in the bottom left corner of the crouch.

Szebiak took the ball and shot a three-pointer, and the basketball went into the net, giving the Detroit Pistons a death sentence.

"Huh!"

Prince's three-point shot after receiving a pass from Billups missed the rebound, and the rebound was grabbed by Hassel who rushed up this time, and the Pistons had no choice but to foul.

Hassell, who walked to the free throw line, made one of two free throws, and the Pistons attacked again and hit the basket.

With only seven seconds left in the game, Cassel held the ball and pressed the time, the Pistons stopped fouling, and the game was over.

Timberwolves (105) :(97) Pistons.

Lin Fei and every teammate of the Timberwolves hugged each other, and it was a hard-earned victory.

As he walked to the players' tunnel, Lin Fei waved to the Pistons' audience:

"Goodbye, Detroit!"

[Ding, congratulations to the host for hitting 9 three-pointers to help the Timberwolves win the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the finals, free attribute points +280]

In the visiting locker room, the Wolves and "Madman" were thrilled to win the game and finally return to Minneapolis.

"Lin was really amazing, he saved us and the Timberwolves once again!"

"The Maniac" also had excitement in his eyes, and he knew that the championship was just one step away from him.

After 12 seasons of hard work and waiting, it's finally a dream come true.

Touching his badly bruised knee, although the team doctor strongly recommended that "Madman" take a break from the finals G6 on June 18, "Madman" was ready to play with an injury.

That is, the NBA headquarters will not impose a ban on him.

In the home team's locker room, Big Ben saw that the team failed to complete the reversal, and his angry fist slammed into the locker cabinet, and his eyes burned with anger and unwillingness.

At the same time, he also blamed himself psychologically, if he hadn't been sent off, Lin Fei would not have been able to hit so many key three-pointers under the infinite change of defense of the Pistons Five Tigers.

Hamilton, who was sitting in the examination room, was even more depressed, and after examination by the team doctor, he had a broken ring finger tip, a torn thumb extensor muscle, and a severe contusion to the triangular bone......

Thinking of the moment when he slapped Lin Fei's door from behind in the game, the current Hamilton still felt afraid.

Lin Fei's face and nose bone, is it really made of steel?

Finger fractures and muscle tears, while severe, can still be forced with tape tied, but for a pitcher who relies on his touch, it can be fatal.

Hamilton gritted his teeth and headed to the away finals G6, where he had to play alongside his team-mates.

At the Timberwolves' post-game press conference,

Head coach Philip Saunders brought Lin Fei and Cassel to attend.

Lin Fei got 32 points and 1 rebound tonight, and Cassel played closed, and also had a double-double of 15 points, 13 assists and 2 steals.

There is no doubt that the two were the key to the team's resistance to the pressure and the victory to the end after the Wolves and "Madman" were sent off.

"Sam, I heard that Ling is playing behind closed doors tonight, is this true?"

Sam Cassel has been in the league for many years and has long been comfortable in front of the media:

"In my opinion, it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that I helped the team win this Tianwang Mountain, we got match point, and if we win one more game, we can win the O'Brien Cup!"

"Sam, you've already got two championship rings in your career, and if the Timberwolves win the championship again tonight, how do you think this third championship ring will be different from the previous two?"

"Without a doubt, this will be the most important championship of my career, and it will be the best season of my career!"

"Thank you Kevin, thank you Latrier, thank you Lin, thank you to Coach Sanders, thank you to every Timberwolves teammate and coaching staff member!"

"I believe we can lift the championship trophy at home!"

The media reporters hastily asked Kassel a few questions, and then shifted all their attention to Lin Fei.

"Lin, how do you feel about hitting 9 three-pointers tonight, setting a new record for the number of three-pointers made in a single game in the NBA Finals?"

"I'm glad that my three-pointer helped the team win this Tianwang Mountain, and now we have a 3-2 lead over the Pistons in the big score, and we are very much looking forward to returning to the Finals G6 at the target center!"

"Lin, you scored a game-high 32 points again tonight, although you didn't perform much in G3 and G4, but the Timberwolves won three games, you played wonderful statistics!"

"In a way, it's fair to say that the Timberwolves can win in the end in the games where you play a great game, so do you think you have a chance to beat Kevin and win this year's Finals MVP?"

In the face of the provocation of this local Detroit Sentinel News reporter, Lin Fei was calm and always calmly responded:

"I don't think the MVP of the finals is what I have to think about right now, what I should think about now is how to help the team win the G6, lift the O'Brien Cup at home, and end this damn season as soon as possible!"

"Compared with the award of MVP in the finals, I hope that the boss can give him an extra 100,000 US dollars!"

Lin Fei's answer was humorous and witty, which not only resolved the conflict between himself and the Wolves King on FMVP, but also indirectly reminded the Timberwolves boss that he should really care more about the bottom salary thighs in his team.

……

On the team's plane back to Minneapolis overnight, Lin Fei lay in front of the window seat and fell asleep tired as soon as he closed his eyes.

The temperature of the air conditioner on the special plane was a little low, and Si Zebiak took the initiative to bring a blanket and cover it for Lin Fei.

Game 6 of the Finals is on June 18, during which time the team has three days to prepare.

The Pistons and Timberwolves have played each other in five games in this series, and it can be said that there are no secrets about each other when it comes to player rotation and tactical use.

Under the open card competition, who can win the game is more important to the player's game state and the on-the-spot tactical response of the coaching staff.

Then there is the contest of will and belief to win.

The entire playoffs have been played for two months now, and the Timberwolves' players and coaching staff are almost in a state of tension and preparation, and have never been fully rested and adjusted.

With the Timberwolves winning Tianwang Mountain tonight, the finals won the match point with a big score of 3:2.

The next two home games were played at the target center, and the team can be said to occupy the right time and place.

So Philip Saunders decided to give all the players two days off to relax, and during these two days, there will be no team training and the players will have their time at their disposal.

With a relaxed and confident attitude to meet the championship battle, strive to win the G6 in one go, and try not to leave the suspense of the finals to the tie-breaker.

"G6 we will definitely win, this long season should be over soon, and I will take my wife and daughter to Hawaii for a vacation in early July!"

Si Zebiak breathed a long sigh of relief, he remembered Lin Fei's words, life is always greater than basketball.

The wolf king's mood was also very excited:

"Wally is right, we must not let the game drag into the tiebreaker, G6 we are going to win the championship, this season's efforts, it should be time for the dust to fall!"

This season's Wolf King played in 82 regular season games, and none of them were absent in the playoffs.

Just to finally win the O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes the highest team honor in the NBA season.

"I'm going to have a good break in the offseason, I don't know if I'll have time to travel to Switzerland with my wife, sister and Mason, there are so many damn endorsements and business activities!"

"As for this year's Yadian Olympics, Lao Tzu will not go to death, it is completely thankless, and I have already helped Mi win the gold medal in the last Olympic Games!"

"Is there any country on the world stage that can compete with our country? Just send a wave of newcomers to easily crush it! ”

Si Zebiak smiled: "Kevin, don't underestimate the teams in Evenzhou and South America, this year's Agenzhu and Xibanya seem to be very powerful!" ”

"And Lin, it seems that he will also represent the Celestial Empire in the Olympic Games in August, and join forces with Da Yao inside and outside!"

Listening to Si Zebiak's words, the wolf king couldn't help but glance at Lin Fei, who was sleeping by the window:

"Haha, will Lin also join forces with Da Yao to participate in the Olympics? Then maybe this batch of rookie players in our country may really be in trouble! ”

……

This ups and downs of the finals battle of Tianwang Mountain can be said to have caused huge repercussions and uproar in all corners of the world, all the world, and every corner with NBA fans.

Lin Fei's 9 three-pointers, the physical altercation between the Wolves and Big Ben was ejected, and the violent behavior of the Pistons home fans who made a fuss and littered,

There was also a grumpy "madman" who almost rushed to the stands to fight with the fans, the wolf king was smashed in the face by the drink cup thrown by the Pistons fans, and Hamilton slapped Lin Fei in the face with a suspected broken finger......

Whether it is on or off the court, this will be a Finals Tianwang Mountain that will go down in the history of the NBA.

Throughout this game, the biggest protagonists are not the wolf king and Big Ben, nor the "madman" and Kassel, but Lin Fei in the end.
