Qin Dongmei, the agent who was sitting in the third row on the sidelines and not far from the Timberwolves bench, wore a pale pink sleeveless evening dress tonight, showing the temperament of an oriental classical beauty.

Looking at Lin Fei sitting on the bench of the Timberwolves, Qin Dongmei's beautiful eyes also flashed with brilliance, looking forward to Lin Fei and the Timberwolves winning the championship tonight, and at the same time, she was also full of emotion in her heart.

Qin Dongmei remembered that the last time she came to the target center arena to watch Lin Fei's game was at the end of December last year, close to New Year's Day.

It was a game in which the Timberwolves faced the Rockets at home, and the Celestial Empire hyped it into a Celestial Empire derby, which attracted the attention of many domestic fans.

Da Yao, a sophomore, scored 19 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks in that game, and his performance was quite eye-catching, and it can be said that he easily broke up Olovo Kandi in the matchup.

However, Lin Fei only played 3 minutes in garbage time in the final quarter of that game, getting 1 assist and 1 foul.

At that time, Qin Dongmei was almost sitting in the same front row position as now, she looked at Lin Fei who was stunned on the bench, and was also worried about Lin Fei's future after his rookie season.

And now half a year has passed, and everything seems to be a world away.

From a marginalized player on the bench to the first scorer off the bench, the West decided to turn the tide, ranking second on the team in points per game in the Finals, behind only Wolves Kevin Garnett.

also broke a series of Finals three-point shooting records one after another......

At the beginning, the rookie who could be cut by the team at any time and could be completely abandoned by the NBA at any time lost the draft.

He has quickly grown into a league rookie that two-thirds of the league's teams are vying for.

In Qin Dongmei's view, Lin Fei is still the same Lin Fei, still the training maniac, and still the young man who crossed the ocean alone for his dreams and never gave up when he encountered setbacks.

Perseverance and hard work have finally paid off, and Lin Fei's success in the NBA has surpassed Ben Wallace to become the league's most inspirational and magical draft comeback story.

In the fourth row of seats behind Qin Dongmei, Little Mildew and his father also flew to Minneapolis from New York tonight, looking forward to witnessing the championship moment of the Timberwolves and Lin Fei.

The thin body that is growing is also wearing a wide Lin Fei Timberwolves No. 22 jersey tonight, and now the little mildew has completely become a fan of Lin Fei.

Long before the start of the game, Qin Dongmei had a friendly conversation with Xiao Mildew and her father, and left each other's phone calls.

Scott Swift, Xiaomildew's father, is a highly qualified stock investment agent in New York, and Qin Dongmei, as Lin Fei's agent, will inevitably cooperate in this aspect of investment in the future.

"Sister Qin, which team do you say Lin will sign in the offseason? Los Angeles Lakers or New York Knicks? ”

Facing Xiao Mildew's wide-eyed inquiry, Qin Dongmei turned around and smiled mysteriously: "Taylor, this is a secret!" ”

"When the offseason is confirmed, my sister will definitely call you as soon as possible!"

Xiao Mildew nodded happily, and then her beautiful eyes couldn't help switching between Qin Dongmei and Lin Fei on the bench, and asked curiously:

"Sister Qin, are you Lin's girlfriend?"

Qin Dongmei smiled back, put a slender white index finger on her lips, and hurriedly made a "shhh" expression at Xiao Mildew.

"Hurry up and watch the game!"

On the court, the Timberwolves opened the game with a counterattack and fast break.

Kassel made a sudden stop to break through in the middle of the move, shook off Billups to attract Rashid Wallace's defense, and assisted the Wolves who followed up in the middle to kill the penalty area and deliver a flying dunk.

"Boom!"

The arena at the Target Center roared with joy as the Timberwolves' home fans shouted to blow the Detroit Pistons and we were the champions.

Because of the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the finals, the home Pistons fans of Auburn Hills Palace picked quarrels and provoked trouble, wantonly insulting and mocking their own players,

This naturally made the Timberwolves fans excited, hated the Pistons fans, and returned to the home court tonight, the fans raised a lot of momentum, giving the Pistons five Tigers who were fighting away from home a lot of pressure.

Throughout the first quarter of the game, the situation was always under the control of the Timberwolves, even if there was no "madman", but the effect of Szebiak being the starting small forward was also very good.

Hassel was equally effective in chasing Hamilton, who only made two shots and hit one in the first quarter of the game due to a broken finger.

The Wolves beat Rasheed Wallace on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, scoring 7 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in a single quarter.

Szebiak also hit two three-pointers in the first quarter, and the defense managed to limit Prince.

Stimulated by the championship, the Timberwolves' starting five tigers are full of momentum and hatred, and they are trying their best to win the cup tonight.

Timberwolves (28) :(19) Pistons.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves had already led the Pistons by 9 points, and the momentum of winning the championship was very good.

But "Alien" Cassel insisted on playing the full 12 minutes of the first quarter, and Philip Saunders naturally wanted him to rest more in the second quarter in exchange for Darrick Martin.

As the Timberwolves' backup point guard, Darrick Martin's offensive performance is actually not bad, and he is a threat both in terms of playmaking and mid-to-long-range shooting.

But the downside is that the defensive performance is not very good, and it can barely prevent Chauncey Billups.

The same was true tonight, with Billups facing Darick Martin on the offensive end, and with his height and tonnage, he crushed the opponent and hit two goals in a row.

However, Darik Martin also hit a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the right side after blocking on the offensive end, which can be regarded as making up for it.

And in the next defensive round for the Timberwolves, Szebiak took a risk to come up for Darrick Martin to defend Billups.

Billups saw the timing and used calm court judgment and overall vision to accurately give the ball to Prince, who was outside the three-point line.

After receiving the ball, the "Little Prince" bent his bow and arrow, and hit the three-point shot steadily.

"Huh!"

In the current Pistons five, the two people with the highest percentage of three-pointers per game are Billups and Prince, while Hamilton is more concentrated in the mid-range and is not good at three-pointers.

In the second quarter, because Cassel was not there, the Pistons seized the opportunity and quickly played a wave of 7:3.

The point difference was also chased to 5 points.

Timberwolves (31) :( 26) Pistons.

Timberwolves head coach Philip Sanders, who was standing on the sidelines, hurriedly called a long timeout.

In the finals G2, because of Kassel's absence, Darik Martin was completely blown out by Billups, and Philip Saunders had to let the "madman" change Billups, which curbed Mr. Key's outburst.

But tonight, the "madman" was suspended, and Cassel, who played behind closed play, had to get enough rest, and the Timberwolves' backcourt defense was full of holes.

Philip Saunders weighed the pros and cons and decided to send Lin Fei on the field early.

"Lin, next, replace Dark, continue to play against Hamilton, his finger injury is very serious, tonight significantly reduced the number of shots, it should not be difficult to prevent him!"

"Hassel, you go and change Billups!"

Lin Fei nodded solemnly, and at the same time high-fived with a smile with Hassell, this was the first time that the two had partnered in the backcourt in the finals.

I have to say that Philip Saunders' on-the-spot scheduling and rotation in this round of the finals are far more daring than Larry Brown.

Larry Brown, on the other hand, is basically a Pistons-Five, with the team's two main players off the bench, Memet Oku and Corris Williams, averaging less than seven minutes per game.

In fact, in the Eastern Conference Finals, Larry Brown is still relatively open in terms of rotation and substitution, and the reason why he did not dare to use substitutes in the finals was naturally because of Lin Fei's supernatural three-point ability.

Pause back.

Seeing that Lin Fei was finally put on the battlefield, the cheers and screams in the target center arena instantly raised a few decibels.

"Guess how many three-pointers Lin can hit tonight? A conservative estimate is at least 6, right? ”

"6 is too little, Lin has enough playing time in the finals G1, G2 and G5, that's an average of 8 three-pointers per game!"

"It doesn't matter how many three-pointers Lin hits, the important thing is that we have to win tonight and end this long season once and for all!"

"Timberwolves Championship, Timberwolves Championship......"

In front of the commentary stand on the sidelines, ESPN's Mike Brin and Chartered Forde were in charge of commentating tonight's game, and the guest commentator was veteran assist king Mark Jackson.

This season is the last season of Mark Jackson's career, and the 39-year-old publicly announced his retirement in May, and his next job is likely to be as a commentator for ESPN.

"As soon as Lin comes on the court, the offensive and defensive rhythm of this finals will inevitably accelerate, I believe this is definitely what President David Stern wants to see!"

"The fast-paced game is indeed more exciting, although the champion of this year's Finals has not yet been produced, but it is certain that this round of the Finals is far more exciting than the Finals when the Spurs played the Nets last year!"

"That's right, Mike, according to ESPN radio data, the number of people watching the NBA Finals live on TV this year has increased by 35% compared to last year!"

"Lin's off-ball play and accurate three-point shooting seem to be subtly changing the NBA game!"

"If Lin can stay healthy, maintain accurate shooting, and improve his defense over the next few seasons, he could well become an epoch-making off-ball talent in the NBA!"

"Chat, don't you want Lin to improve his ball control?"

"Oh no, I still prefer the current Lin, who has a distinct label and unique charisma that all guards in the NBA don't have!"

On the court, the Timberwolves attacked.

The wolf king held the ball high at the top of the arc and made a habitual ball cover for Lin Fei.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei came up with abundant physical energy, coupled with the continuous improvement of his absolute speed, this time from the right side of the arc to the left side of the cover run, it was quite sharp and fast.

Hamilton may also have palpitations because of his broken finger, and subconsciously took precautions when chasing Lin Fei, so he didn't use full speed.

Rashid Wallace's delay in changing the defense was also half a beat slower, and Lin Fei received a pass from the Wolves on the left 45-degree angle three-point line, and bent his bow and arrow to make a decisive shot.

The basketball flew past Wallace's fingertips, turned into Buddha light, and entered the net.

"Huh!"

Lin Fei quickly hit a three-pointer, and the target center arena was thunderous.

Timberwolves fans chanting: "First, first, first......"

Philip Saunders, who was standing on the sidelines, smiled and nodded, Lin and the Wolves' high blocking must be a big killer for the Timberwolves tonight.

Because Hamilton and Rashid Wallace are both injured, it is difficult to play their full strength whether they are chasing or changing defenses.

"Lin, come on, you're the best!"

Sitting on the sidelines, he saw Lin Fei come up and hit a three-pointer, and got up and cheered excitedly, cheering for his new idol.

Qin Dongmei had a thoughtful smile on her face, and at the moment when Lin Fei hit the three-point shot, her memories seemed to fly to the CUBA league a year and a half ago.

At that time, Lin Fei was also omnipotent on the field, Qin Dongmei, as the cheerleader of Qingbei, would always cheer for Lin Fei and the team with the loudest voice with her sisters.

And it all happened yesterday.

Lin Fei's opponents and teammates have changed, from ordinary college students in CUBA to NBA championship contenders, including MVPs, DPOYs, and many All-Star players.

But Lin Fei has not changed, he is still the protagonist on the court.

Back on the defensive end, Hamilton gritted his teeth this time, turned his back against Lin Fei, and took the initiative to ask Billups for the ball.

Billups, though a little worried, chose to get the ball into Hamilton's hands.

Before the start of the game, Lin Fei had already added the 280 free attributes obtained by winning the last game and the 45 free attributes of the three-day training to the defense.

This time, the defensive stat has improved from 53 to 56 points, and the steal attribute is still the highest among the five sub-categories, at 69 points.

Withstanding Hamilton behind him, Lin Fei's strength was no longer worthy of the Mask Man, and his defensive attention was also highly concentrated.

"Whoosh!"

Hamilton dribbled with his left hand and turned over to the right, but Lin Fei had already successfully predicted the opponent's choice, sliding quickly, blocking Hamilton's breakthrough trajectory in advance.

Hamilton took advantage of the situation to enjoy a crotch dribble to shake off Lin Fei, but he was not good at breaking through with the ball, and coupled with the injury of his right hand, this change of direction came a little stiff.

Lin Fei's 69-point steal finally came in handy, and his long arm was like a snake, and he stabbed the basketball under Hamilton's crotch.

"Whoosh!"

While reaching out to poke the ball, Lin Fei also accumulated strength with his ankle, quickly rushed over from the side, and reached out to completely control the ball.

This is a beautiful and complete steal, and it is also the first time that Lin Fei has completed a steal in this round of the finals, and even in the entire NBA rookie season.

Lin Fei, who grabbed the basketball, accelerated quickly, but he just dribbled the ball jerkily, and he felt that he was going to make a mistake, so he didn't hesitate and hurriedly gave the ball to Hassel, who was fast on the left side.

But the quality of Lin Fei's pass was also very poor, and Billups, who was followed up, grabbed it back with a flying body.

"Smack!"

Lin Fei suddenly floated down three black lines on his forehead, this day without dribbling and passing is really difficult!

However, in the next moment, the situation on the court changed again, and before Billups could hold the ball back, it was slapped to the ground by Szebiak, who rushed up quickly from his side.

"Smack!"

Lin Fei's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, he directly accelerated and rushed towards the front.

"Whoosh!"

The assist on the side of Sizebiak was also to the ball, this time there was finally no pass, Lin Fei took two steps outside the right side of the 45-degree angle to catch the ball, and it was done in one go.

"Huh!"

I didn't get home until ten o'clock in the evening today, first one watch, and at least three more tomorrow to make up, thank you for your understanding!
