Hamilton's face changed for a while, but in front of Lin Fei, he had to admit that this guy had indeed improved a lot compared to last year.

The most improved player and sixth man of all time seems to really live up to its name.

In front of the Heat's courtside bench, although he has returned to the bench since the second round of the playoffs, Jason Williams has nothing to complain about, but is happy.

If the head coach insists on letting him play as a starter and always puts Lin Fei in the position of the best sixth man, I am afraid that Heat fans will also be angry with themselves.

Since the beginning of the playoffs, Lin Fei's dribbling ability has improved rapidly, and Williams, as a first-class point guard in the league, has taught Lin Fei a lot of dribbling skills.

This double-step-back three-pointer has been used by Williams in his previous games, but it can't be used as a conventional weapon because it's too difficult.

Naturally, it is not the dribbling to get rid of it, but the three-point shooting aspect, Williams is far from being at the same level as Lin Fei.

"Lin's dribbling skills have improved too much, at the beginning of the season, I was significantly better than Lin in dribbling, but now I have been compared to this guy!"

Tony Allen, who was sitting next to Williams, sighed even more sincerely that Lin Fei was born to play basketball.

"Lin is still very talented in dribbling, and with his training intensity, I feel that it will not be long before he becomes a new dribbling master!"

In the next wave of the Heat's offense, Wade forced a breakthrough layup, but this time it was successfully interfered with by Big Ben.

But the offensive rebound was grabbed by O'Neal, and he turned around and quickly passed to Lin Fei on the three-point line at the top of the arc.

Lin Fei lowered the center of gravity of the double crossover with a move, and the change of direction was very large, almost shaking Hamilton to the ground, and then another step back to the three-point line, raising his hand and throwing.

"Huh!"

And also.

Hamilton was ashamed and pounced too hard, infringing on Lin Fei's cylinder, and losing a free throw in vain.

"Beep!"

"Huh!"

Lin Feijia, who walked to the free throw line, hit a free throw, as steady as an old dog.

In the various statistics of the new season, in addition to the three-point fault leading the league, the free throws that are easy to be ignored by fans are also unbeatable.

Throughout the regular season, Lin Fei made a total of 359 free throws, hit 357, and only missed two shots, with a shooting rate of 99.4%.

At the same time, he hit 209 consecutive shots, which was also a big new NBA record for consecutive free throws.

The high stability of the free throw shot proves that Lin Fei's success in the field of three-point shooting is not accidental.

Throughout the season, Lin Fei scored more than 2,100 points, but these points were all obtained by three-pointers and free throws, and there was no two-point battle in an athletic battle.

"Lin's free throws are so consistent, and it seems that this is also a manifestation of his three-point talent!"

"Haha, if Shaquille can have the level of free throws like Lin, then I'm afraid he is already the first person in history!"

"I still have to praise Pat Riley's long-term vision, Lin, Shaquille and Dwayne really complement each other, which makes the Heat team strong!"

Seeing Lin Fei score 10 points in a row on Hamilton's head, Pistons head coach Larry Brown couldn't stand it anymore and once again strengthened his interference with Lin Fei's catch.

Now that he has gradually practiced catching the ball for three points, it is very difficult to restrain Lin Fei, so he can only start to intercept from the source and try not to let the ball pass to his hands.

The Pistons Five Tigers' defensive tactics are very strong, and with the assistance of Billups and Prince, Lin Fei failed to receive the ball in the next few rounds.

Wade strengthened his personal breakthroughs, breaking into the enemy camp again and again with explosives bags on his back, killing all sides.

The first quarter of the battle is over,

Heat (32) :(19) Pistons.

In a single quarter, he already led the opponent by 13 points, completely suppressing the opponent at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

But Stan Van Gundy told his players not to be careless, the Detroit Pistons are very resilient, and they are the best at playing tough battles and surviving in the face of hardship.

After the start of the second quarter, while Wade and Lin Fei were not on the court, and O'Neal led the team alone, the Pistons launched a wave of counterattacks.

Antonio McDyce, who was in the same class as Rasheed Wallace, scored four straight points in the face, and Carlos Arroyo, a backup guard, also hit a three-pointer.

But O'Neal hit a strong turnover hook shot under the basket and quickly responded with a three-point shot that Jason Williams pulled to the outside after the pick-and-roll.

"Huh!"

Although he was beaten twice by the experienced McDies on the defensive end, he also showed his own characteristics on the offensive end, responding with three points from the outside.

That's roughly the value of the Heat right now, where he and the point guard are very effective at blocking and making it easy to create opportunities to catch the ball from the outside.

From the nervousness and apprehension at the beginning of the season to the calm and stability of the playoffs now, the approximate three-point shooting rate has also stabilized at 39%, which has reached the average level of guards in the league.

Coming to the scene tonight to watch the game, Song Yang, who was sitting in the front row, also smiled and applauded the three-point shot.

Sitting next to Song Yang was Lin Fei's agent and girlfriend Qin Dongmei.

With Lin Fei's real popularity this season, Qin Dongmei, as an agent and girlfriend, has also attracted more attention from the media and fans.

Under Qin Dongmei's negotiation, Lin Fei not only signed a contract with Anta, but also cooperated with many well-known brands such as Porsche, Patek Philippe, Pepsi Cola, etc., and his commercial endorsement income was quite lucrative.

As early as last month, Lin Fei shot a promotional advertisement for a Porsche sports car, and the heroine of this advertisement happened to be Miss Universe Emily Vega.

The two had dinner together after filming the advertisement that night, and even had a scandal by the media.

In order to better expand the Celestial Empire market, Pepsi also found a number of well-known Celestial Dynasty stars, in addition to Lin Fei, Pan Weineck, Gu Tianle, Cai Yilin, etc. are also Pepsi's spokespersons.

However, among these stars, it is obvious that Lin Fei's worth is the highest.

The Pistons quickly began to cut the shark tactics, and O'Neal's free throws tonight were worse than expected, standing on the free throw line twice in a row, and actually missing all 4 free throws.

Seeing that the Pistons were so happy, Stan Van Gundy could only temporarily replace O'Neal and let Wade and Lin Fei play in advance.

The focus of the Pistons' defense tonight is O'Neal and Lin Fei, and O'Neal, who is surrounded by two Wallace in front and back, is very uncomfortable, which also makes him play nearly half the court, only 4 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block.

After the introduction of the regional defense rationalization policy, the restrictions on O'Neill are indeed very large, and the defense of the double Wallace is also very experienced.

Lin Fei finally understood that in the 04 finals in the original world, the Pistons were able to defeat the Lakers, indeed because they limited O'Neal's outbreak to a large extent.

Without O'Neal, the Pistons focused more on defending Wade and Lin Fei.

This made it difficult for Lin Fei to receive the ball in the positional battle, but Wade's breakthrough was a little unstoppable.

Coupled with the care of the home referee, Wade walked to the free throw line four times in the second quarter, contributed 7 of 8 free throws in a single quarter, and scored 25 points at halftime.

Lin Fei only hit a "white chocolate" three-point shot in the second quarter on the counterattack and fast-break, scoring 13 points at halftime, but there were 2 steals and 1 block on the defensive end.

"Dwayne's offensive ability is so good that he deserves to be the second-youngest MVP in league history!"

"Billups and Big Ben both had three fouls at halftime, which is a big blow for the Pistons!"

"25 points at halftime, it seems that Dwayne has a good chance to hit a 40+ game tonight, playing a team with a style like the Pistons, Dwayne does have more room to play than Shaquille and Lin!"

At halftime, the fans at the American Airlines arena became more frenetic.

After the high-definition four-sided screen above his head played the highlights of the Heat's first half of the game,

The familiar music prelude also sounded leisurely, and Michael Jackson walked to the center of the court and sang two personal classics in the spotlight:

"heal the world" and "You Are Not Alone".

There were many screams from fans at the scene, and many people sang together with tears in their eyes.

In the five live broadcast rooms of the Celestial Dynasty, the commentators Director Zhang and Yang Yi also praised the popularity of this East Finals G1 with a smile.

"Michael Jackson can be invited, it seems that the Heat has become the hottest team in the NBA now, this is like a rivalry with the Lakers and the Knicks!"

"Jackson is also wearing our Lin Fei's No. 22 jersey, it seems that Lin Fei has a lot of fans now, and there are many famous superstars!"

"Yes, Lin Fei's style of play is changing many fans' perception of NBA and basketball, and he is really opening a new era!"

Taiwan Province, in the living room of a coastal villa.

Chou Dong, who was sitting on the retro sofa, was also nervously watching the first game of the East Finals between the Heat and the Pistons on the 48-inch plasma TV.

And sitting next to Dong Chou at this time is Miss Hou, who he just fell in love with after breaking up with Cai at the end of last year.

Seeing that idol Jackson became a guest performer during the intermission and sang two songs together, Jay Chou couldn't help but be ready to move.

"It just so happens that the schedule has been a little more free recently, and I still want to find time to go to Miami to watch a game for the Heat, and if I can also be a guest performer at halftime, it feels good!"

At this time, Chou Dong was already preparing for his new album "Chopin in November", and he had just finished filming the initial D of the movie, and his work in music and film and television was still relatively busy.

Although the popularity of the domestic Chinese-speaking market has been a mess, in the English-speaking world, Chou Dong still has little confidence in his influence.

"You can talk to the agent over there, at most a little appearance fee, it shouldn't be a big problem, after all, there are a lot of Chinese fans in Miami!"

"It just so happens that you have a MV for a new song, aren't you going to shoot it in the United States!"

As soon as Miss Hou's words fell, the Samsung mobile phone on the coffee table on Dong Chou's side rang, and it was the agent who called.

connected the phone, and the other side went straight to the point:

"Dong Zhou, the Miami Heat of the NBA wants to invite you to participate in the G2 game of the day after tomorrow, and the company also supports you to go, but the appearance fee they can give seems to be a little less, only 200,000 US dollars!"

Chou Dong didn't expect good things to come so quickly, you must know that Lin Fei and the Heat are his current idols, as long as he has time, he will watch almost every Heat game, especially in the playoffs.

Now not only do you not have to spend your own money to watch it, but you can also discuss with Lin Fei about participating in your MV as a guest performer, so why not.

"Oh, this is good, of course I'm going!"

The reason why the Heat wanted to invite Chou Dong, a Chinese singer, to help was naturally due to the huge market of the Celestial Empire and a certain number of Chinese fans on the side of the United States.

After all, with Lin Fei's rapid rise in popularity, the proportion of Chinese fans watching the NBA has also shown a significant upward trend, so cooperating with some stars in the Chinese entertainment industry is also very beneficial to promoting the influence of the team.

NBA President David Stern, also because of the rapid rise of Da Yao and Lin Fei in recent years, has paid more attention to the Celestial Empire market, and intends to sign a star with enough influence in the Celestial Empire entertainment industry as the NBA's Celestial Empire endorsement ambassador.

In fact, as early as the Denver All-Star in February this year, Jay Chou was invited to participate in the Star Game, but he was too busy at the time to get the opportunity.

And Lin Fei and Chou Dong have actually met for a long time, and the two have also left each other's phone numbers and MSN numbers.

Eyes back to the American Airlines arena, the second half of the game has begun.

Under the internal and external constraints of O'Neal and Lin Fei, Flash Wade continued to perform his breakthrough skills, and the Pistons defense he played did not have enough power to parry.

Seeing that Wade was in a hot state, O'Neill and Lin Fei also took the initiative to give up the ball and happily lay on the side to win.

The Heat Big Three still get along very well, often in a game, whoever has a more obvious opposition advantage and is in better condition will let whoever play more, without any greed.

After 10 minutes of playing in the third quarter, Wade shot 6 of 7 in a single quarter, plus 14 free throws, and scored 39 points before the third quarter was played, with a shooting rate close to a terrifying 70%.

The fans at home kept shouting MVP, and many stars and celebrities who came to watch the game tonight were also stunned by Wade's performance.

Kevin Garnett rarely really convinces anyone, O'Neal is one, Lin Fei is one, and now Wade is also one.

"In terms of the ability to break through, I feel that Dwayne is really not inferior to Jordan, stronger than Kobe Maddy, and is definitely in the top three in league history!"

Si Zebiak beside him also praised:

"He's only a sophomore now, and there's still a lot of room for improvement after that, and this Heat team is getting better and better in the playoffs, and it seems that they are far stronger than expected!"

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, who also came to the scene to watch the game, also praised Wade's performance, but they were inevitably a little sour in their hearts.

They are all rookies in the same class, and now these two brothers have gone home to fish in advance, Wade and Lin Fei are actually killing more and more, and they are directly running for the championship, how can they be envious?

This offseason, James must press the Cavaliers management to make up for the frenzy, and he can't afford to waste his talent in Cleveland.

By the end of the third quarter, the Heat had a 19-point lead over the Pistons.

General manager Joe Dumas, who sat in the second row behind the Pistons bench, was also frowning at this time, quite worried about what happened to the team in this series.

If the Pistons fall short in the playoffs for two years in a row, plus Ben Wallace's contract expires after this season, Tyshawn Prince's rookie benefits will also end.

When the time comes, it will be quite difficult to keep the Pistons' main lineup......
