【148】 Finals G1, Lin Fei's performance time!
Imperial capital, workers' gymnasium.
Da Yao is in a property in the imperial capital, and the living room is quite lively at this time.
There is a table of dishes on the coffee table in front of the color TV, with meat and vegetables, and several men's basketball players gathered, looking forward to watching the opening game of the NBA Finals tonight.
In addition to Da Yao, Du Feng, Li Nan, Zhu Fangyu, Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng and others are all there, and his girlfriend Ye Li and several girls from the women's basketball team are busy in the kitchen.
At this time, the men's basketball team was preparing for the Stankovic Cup in early July, and Da Yao returned to China early after the NBA playoffs ended early and joined the national team.
Originally, Da Yao didn't plan to play such a small-level event, but in the end he chose to participate.
At this time, on the TV, although there are still three hours before the start of the game, the five sets of the Celestial Dynasty have already started to broadcast a promotional video about Lin Fei in advance, followed by the highlights of the first three rounds of the playoffs of the Heat this year.
Although Da Yao usually doesn't drink, he was with a few old friends of the national team tonight, and he also happily drank a few sips of Moutai.
"Lin Fei is really getting better and better this season, and I can't count the honors he has won!"
"Double Team, All-Star Ticket King and All-Star MVP, All-Star Three-Point King, Season Steal King......"
Da Yao snapped his fingers, showing his respect and respect for Lin Fei, the rising star of the national team, and sighed and laughed at himself with a heartfelt smile:
"Now the first person in basketball in our Celestial Empire is undoubtedly Lin Fei, and I, the champion, can only take a back seat!"
The veteran Li Nan also sighed excitedly: "What Da Yao said is yes, Lin Fei's birth is really something none of us could have imagined, and the NBA is now turned upside down by him!" ”
Zhu Fangyu then spoke: "I really miss the days when I played in the Yadian World Cup with Lin Fei and everyone last year, this silver medal is really enough for me to blow for a lifetime!" ”
Liu Wei joked and smiled at Zhu Fangyu: "Zhu Ba, didn't the Kings give you a trial contract, don't you try it in the offseason?" Maybe you're the fifth player in our Celestial Empire to compete in the NBA! ”
Zhu Fangyu shook his head again and again and said: "I won't go without a guarantee contract, if they are really sincere, at least they have to give me a basic salary guarantee contract, right?" I don't have Lin Fei's confidence! ”
Everyone chatted all over the world, and slowly talked about Lin Fei's prospects in the Heat team, as well as the conflict between him and Wade that was hyped up by the media in the United States.
"Pat Riley obviously trusts Wade more, if Lin Fei stays with the Heat in the future, the maximum salary should be fine, but it is difficult to be the boss!"
"Now Lin Fei's three-point shooting and defense are the best in history, and the dribble is also improving, and he has every strength to become the absolute leader of an NBA team!"
"In the Heat team, the first two championships are mixed, as long as Lin Fei, Wade and O'Neal are the three brothers, I feel that it is really not difficult for the Heat to win two consecutive championships!"
"After the contract expires on the Heat side, I feel that Lin Fei should go to the Suns is the most suitable, and now that the Suns have Nash, the perfect point guard, they will be willing to assist Lin Fei, coupled with D'Antoni's tactical system, it is really suitable for Lin Fei!"
"According to Stan Van Gundy's tactics, the first shot of the Heat in the finals must still be Wade's, and it is still difficult for Lin Fei to win the MVP of the finals!"
"People have to bow their heads under the roof, Lin Fei can mix so well in the NBA, it's not easy, let's mix in the Heat for two years first, and then choose a suitable new team!"
Miami, American Airlines Arena.
At 12 noon local time, there were a lot of people inside and outside the stadium, and the nearby main roads were in serious traffic jams.
Although many fans did not buy tickets, they still came to the square enthusiastically and enjoyed the warm atmosphere of the finals.
As far as the eye can see, almost half of the fans have personally dressed up as fans of the Heat team, turning into a sea of red.
O'Neal's No. 32, Lin Fei's No. 22, and Wade's No. 3 are naturally the three jerseys that appear most frequently.
But there are also some long-time fans who wear the jersey of Alonzo Mourning.
In an interview with ESPN's off-court reporters, it was found that many fans flew to Miami from other places or even foreign countries.
Come and enjoy the atmosphere of the NBA Finals.
The occupancy rate of hotels within 3 kilometers of the American Airlines arena is as high as 95%, which is more than double the usual rate.
At this time, in the stadium, in a conspicuous position on the rooftop of the stadium, the commentary team of the five sets of Celestial Empire also prepared live broadcast equipment to greet the fans of Celestial Empire in front of the TV.
"Here are the five sets of the Celestial Empire, the five sets of the Celestial Empire, I am Director Zhang, good evening to all the fans of the Celestial Empire!"
"There is still half an hour left before the first game of the NBA Finals of the 04-05 season starts!"
"We see that the American Airlines arena is now crowded and full, and the average price of tickets for this G1 finals is as high as thousands of dollars, breaking the historical record of this arena!"
"This fully shows that this year's NBA Finals has attracted unprecedented attention, and it has surpassed last year's Pistons VS Timberwolves as a whole!"
Yu Jia, the host next to him, also spoke:
"According to our information, this year's NBA Finals will be broadcast live on more than 160 radio stations in more than 70 countries and 110 regions around the world, which is also a record for the NBA's simultaneous live broadcast range!"
Yang Yi used his not fluent English to interview a black female fan of the United States sitting next to him, who was wearing Lin Fei's No. 22 jersey.
"Hi there, we're commentators from the Celestial Empire, are you a fan of the Heat and Lin?"
The black female fan was quite excited, with an excited smile on her face:
"Of course, I'm a fan of the Heat and Lin, Lin made me fall in love with the Celestial Empire, and I hope to have the opportunity to travel to the Celestial Empire in the future!"
Yang Yi continued to smile and asked, "Can you share with the fans of the Celestial Empire, why do you like Lin?" Is it because he shoots his three-point shot accurately? ”
The black female fan replied heartily into the microphone:
"Of course, Lin's three-point shot is a very unique art, and of course his defense is also very strong, and the most important reason is that I feel that Lin is very handsome!"
Yang Yi finally asked: "Then in the end, please guess whether the final champion of this round of the finals will be the Heat or the Spurs?" And the final FMVP, who do you think will be able to get it? ”
The black female fan hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "Of course, the championship belongs to Miami, and the Heat will solve the battle within 5 games!" ”
"As for the Finals MVP, I naturally hope that Lin can get it, but judging from the current tactics of the Heat, I feel that Dwayne Wade has a better chance!"
On the court at this time, the players of the Heat and Spurs are warming up before the game.
The home Heat fans in the audience on all sides were quite emotional, and when they came to the Finals, the atmosphere was just different from usual.
When Lin Fei began to perform the warm-up ultra-long three-point shooting program as usual, the cheers and screams of the Heat fans at the scene were raised to a new decibel.
On the high-definition four-sided screen on the top of the museum,
At this time, the highlights of the Heat's wonderful performances against the 76ers, Wizards and Pistons in the first three rounds of the playoffs this year were also played on a loop, and the fans who watched it were enthusiastic.
"Beat the Spurs, blow up the Spurs, Heat Championship......"
"I'm starting to worry a little bit about the Spurs, so I'm asking if these old guys are going to fight up?"
"Still blowing the Spurs' regular season double kill of the Heat? As soon as the game starts, you will know what championship-level intensity is! ”
"Can the regular season be compared to the playoffs? Besides, the current Dwayne and Lin are no longer the Dwayne and Lin of half a year ago, this is the best backcourt combination this year! ”
"Ginobili is also worthy of Limby? He only has the gold medal at last year's Olympics to brag, right? The current Lin can definitely prevent him from doubting life! ”
"If Ginobili scores a double tonight, Lao Tzu will dance striptease directly on the spot!"
"Who the hell likes to watch you a big man dance a striptease and change to a woman!"
The frenetic atmosphere at home has scared the Spurs players who are playing away from home, even though Tim Duncan has been through a lot of battles, played two Finals and won both championships.
But tonight, in the face of the frenzied momentum of the American Airlines Arena, it was still a little shocking.
"These fans of the Heat are really crazy, this away game is not easy to play, tonight is bound to be a tough battle, brothers cheer up!"
Duncan was expressionless and made a 45-degree angle of the board, like a robot at a time.
Tony Parker leisurely completed a breakthrough top layup, feeling the deafening cheers of fans at the American Airlines Arena, and couldn't help laughing:
"Playing the Nets in the 03 Finals, the home atmosphere in New Jersey is much worse than the current Heat!"
"But this is my second time playing in the finals, and I believe I can do better!"
Tony Parker was the No. 28 pick in the first round in 2001 and reached the Finals for the first time with the Spurs in '03, beating the Nets to win the first championship trophy of his career, and that was only Parker's second season.
At that time, Parker averaged only 12 points per game in the Finals, but he was still the team's second leading scorer, which could win the championship, which shows Tim Duncan's strength in the '03 Finals.
Manu Ginobili hit a three-pointer in the corner, and then Parker said:
"'03 was my first season and it was my first championship, but this year, I have to contribute more next to Thiem!"
"Lin is a tough opponent, I know him well, and although this round of the finals is difficult to play, I am ready for it!"
Bruce Bowen gritted his teeth, glanced back at Lin Fei on the Heat halfcourt, and snorted coldly:
"Manu, you focus all your energy on offense, the task of defending Lin, leave it to me, I will definitely not let this Celestial Empire kid have a good time!"
This year, Bruce Bowen, like Lin Fei, was selected to the All-Defensive Team for a while, and he also became the fourth starter outside of the Spurs' GDP.
With the birth of Lin Fei, the three-point shot quickly affected the whole league, and pure 3D players like Bruce Bowen also got more offensive tactical tilt in the system of Old Man Bobo.
averaged 8.2 points per game in the regular season, and Bruce Bowen, who came to the playoffs, averaged more than 10 points per game, and was able to hit 2 three-pointers per game, which has increasingly won the trust and respect of Mr. Bobo.
Lin Fei's butterfly effect did make the league pay attention to the importance of 3D players earlier.
Some of the 3-and-D players from the league's teams this season, such as the Heat's Sean Battier, the 76ers' Kyle Korver, the Spurs' Bruce Bowen,
All of them have been reused to a large extent, and the average playing time and scoring data have also increased significantly compared to the same period in the original world.
The 35-year-old veteran Robert Horry walked up at this time and patted Bruce Bowen on the shoulder, and reminded with a smile:
"Bruce, don't be too confident, if you want to defend against the forest, it's not something you can do by yourself, everyone must work together and unite!"
"Whether it's Lin or Dwayne, or Shaquille, it's impossible for us to solve it with a single defense! All three of them are the best players of the season! ”
Speaking of this, Robert Horry, with his years of experience, predicted with a twinkle in his eyes:
"Shaquille is already a top 10 star in history, and Dwayne and Lin are likely to be no lower than the top 20 in history in the future!"
Listening to the words of veteran Robert Horry, the Spurs GDP and Bruce Bowen did not feel that Horry was demoralizing himself, but thought it was a very objective comment.
Wade and Lin Fei were able to achieve such dazzling achievements in the second season of their careers, and looking at the entire history of the NBA, they are very rare super potential rookies.
With the arrival of the finals, there are naturally not a few star fans who came to watch the game tonight.
Hollywood movie star Schwarzenegger, boxing champion Tyson, Jordan and Kobe Bryant and others all sat in the front row, attracting the attention of many fans.
"Widow Sister" Scarlett Johansson, Britney Britney, and Amber Heard also attended in full costume, as well as Miss World Emily Vega, who had an affair with Lin Fei before,
Little Mildew, who is about to turn 16 years old, also appeared in the front row on the sidelines.
In order to satisfy his daughter's wish to watch the finals, Mildew's father Scott Swift spent more than 300,000 US dollars to buy a ticket to the finals in the front row.
At the signal of the referee, the starters of the two teams were ready to go on the court, and the head coach of the Spurs, Mr. Bobo, also had a solemn face and repeatedly told the starters:
"Remember our defensive strategy tonight, continue the policy of two wins in the regular season, we must guard against Lin, and resolutely not let him easily catch the ball!"
Old man Bobo's eyes were deep, his arms were folded in front of his chest, and he knew very well that it was impossible to restrain the Heat triumvirate at the same time, so he could only avoid the heavy.
In Bobo's view, the most terrifying player on the Heat team has always been not Wade, nor O'Neal, but Lin Fei......
Amid the cheers from the sky, the starters of both teams all took to the pitch.
The starting five on the Heat's side are:
Point Guard (PG): Dwayne Wade,
Scoring Guard (SG): Lin Fei,
Small Forward (SF): Sean Battier,
Power Forward (PF): Udonis Haslem,
Center (C): Shaquille O'Neal.
The starting five on the San Antonio Spurs' side are:
Point Guard (PG): Tony Parker,
Shooting Guard (SG): Manu Ginobili,
Small Forward (SF): Bruce Bowen,
Power Forward (PF): Tim Duncan,
Centre (C): Nazr Mohammed.
The Spurs' starting center in the regular season has always been Slovenian Caucasian Rasu Nesterovic.
This guy was the No. 17 pick in the first round in 1998, was selected by the Timberwolves at that time, and played with the Wolves King as a junior brother for 4 seasons, and later also played as the Timberwolves' starter.
In the fourth year of his rookie contract, Nesterovic also had 11.2 points and 6.5 rebounds, which is considered a competent blue-collar center.
But because the Timberwolves pursued Kassel and the madmen after the season and wanted to see the Big Three, they could only let go of Nesterovich, who asked for a new contract with an annual salary of 5 million.
In his first year with the Spurs, the Timberwolves won a championship, much to the indignation of the Slovenian center.
Now in his second season with the Spurs, the team has also reached the Finals, but Nesterovic is not tough enough because of his mediocre performance.
Nazr Mohammed, who was signed by Spurs late in the season, replaced the starting center position.
Nazr Mohammed, who was also the No. 29 pick in the first round in 1998, was a junior to Iverson on a rookie contract with the 76ers, but he rarely played time and was later traded to the Hawks in exchange for Mutombo.
Now the 27-year-old center has moved to the Spurs and is gradually playing form.
It should be said that in Tim Duncan's entire career, except for the early "Admiral" David Robinson, he has not been able to have a powerful center teammate.
Otherwise, Duncan's career achievements are likely to be even higher as a result.
Although the Spurs' starting center was Nazr Mohammed, the player who opened the jump ball for the team chose Tim Duncan.
Seeing Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal walking into the middle circle at the same time, as the referee of tonight's Finals G1 NBA whistle Stephen Jiawei,
I also have a strong premonition in my heart that this is destined to be a Finals matchup in the history of the NBA.
At this time, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, two famous commentators of TNT, who were sitting in front of the live commentary stage on the sidelines, were also looking forward to this upcoming focus battle.
"Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan jumping on the middle circle at the same time is destined to be a classic scene in the NBA Finals!"
"With the retirement of Michael Jordan, there is no doubt that the two highest-ranking stars in the league in history today are Shaquille and Thiem!"
Among active NBA players, O'Neal has 3 crowns, 3 Finals MVPs and a regular season MVP, while Duncan also has 2 crowns, 2 FMVPs and two regular season MVPs.
These honors are not only in the active fight, but also in the entire 60-year history of the NBA, which is enough to be among the top 10 discussions in history.
Charles Buck raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Kenny, you're right, both of these guys have a higher historical status than me, but when it comes to fighting, they are definitely not my opponents!" ”
Kenny Smith looked at his partner next to him with an exaggerated expression, and his small eyes deliberately glanced at the opponent's huge beer belly:
"Charles, 10 years ago, you may have been really able to fight, but now you, I really don't dare to compliment!"
"Let's not talk about these things that have nothing to do with the game, as a big fan of Lin, let's talk about what you expect from Lin tonight, how many three-pointers do you feel he can hit?"
Charles Barkley touched his chin and sighed: "Looking at the current league, Bobo's Spurs are indeed the best team in defending Lin!" ”
"The two teams played each other twice in the regular season, and the main reason why the Heat lost all of them was because the Spurs did the best in defending Lin!"
"Lin only hit eight three-pointers in the two games he played against the Spurs in the regular season!"
"On other 3-and-D players and shooters, eight three-pointers in two games are already quite explosive, but here in Lin, this performance is inevitably a little unsuccessful!"
Kenny Smith spoke, "Charles, you mean that the Spurs are Lin's natural enemies?" Is it likely that his performance tonight will be Waterloo? ”
Charles Barkley immediately retorted loudly: "Of course not, I believe Lin will break out, because this is the Finals, he will use his real strength to crush the Spurs' defense!" ”
"I'm still the same sentence, no one can really defend against Lin!"
"The reason why the Spurs put more defensive energy on Lin is because they are more afraid of Lin's three-point shot!"
Charles Barkley has clearly achieved the quality and perseverance that a forest blows should have, and under his gray suit, there is still the looming No. 22 jersey of the Heat.
Seeing Lin Fei standing on the court at this time, Charles Barkley will still unconsciously think of his playing career and his time in the Philadelphia 76ers and the Suns.
Whether it is in the 76ers or the Suns, if he can have a super 3D teammate like Lin Fei by his side, Barkley believes that his career will not be without a championship for life.
And Michael Jordan will definitely not win 6 championships, and he will not even become the undisputed first person in the history of the league today.
Lin Fei did not mess with the history of the NBA in the 90s, but he will eventually change the fate of these stars in the new century.
On all sides of the audience, Heat fans are also talking about the historical status between O'Neal and Duncan, as well as the real comparison of the two forces.
"It's understandable that Tim is the league's number one forward, but what does he compare to Shaquille? Only a star who has won three consecutive championships is a real superstar! ”
"Although Shaquille has three consecutive championships, he only has one regular season MVP, and Thiem is the regular season MVP for two consecutive years, and there are few stars in NBA history who can win the consecutive MVP!"
"Shaquille and Tim are both strong, but even if the two guys are compatible, the Heat's guard combination will blow up the Spurs, and this year's championship must be our Heat's!"
On the court, as Duncan took the lead in picking up the basketball on O'Neal's head, Tony Parker also got the ball, and the Spurs took the lead in the opening game.
The Heat fans at home chanted Defensive, chanting Defensive counterattack.
Parker dribbled the ball to the front court and faced Wade's tight defense at the top of the arc.
Wade's defensive level has improved significantly this season, especially in the playoffs, whether it is defending Iverson in the first round, facing Arenas in the second round or facing Billups in the East finals.
Wade has done a very high level of defensive intensity and has an advantage in physical confrontations.
Although Parker was not afraid of confrontation in his youth, he was a foreign white guard after all, and he was not at the same level as Billups in terms of weight and height, let alone Wade.
Standing in front of the Spurs courtside bench, Old Man Bobo crossed his arms and looked majestic, he gave Parker a death order in this round of the series, and he must not be reckless in the positional battle to single Wade and Lin Fei.
When Duncan came up, he directly raised the position and took the lead in making a sideways cover for Parker, and Haslem followed up quickly.
Stan Van Gundy reminded Haslem in this round of the finals that he will be the main force in defending Duncan, so he must play with a 12-point spirit.
After all, O'Neal is an oversized center and is 33 years old, so it is difficult to keep up with Duncan's nimble pace in the middle range and high position.
So this will be Haslem's defensive task, O'Neal's biggest responsibility on the defensive end is to guard the penalty area, only Duncan is waiting for the opportunity to help defend when he goes down to the basket.
Parker took advantage of Duncan's blocking opportunity to quickly hold the ball and move to the left side of the arc, at which time Ginobili also quickly stepped up and made a pick-and-roll cover with Parker again.
This is a very practical two-block screen in the Spurs' tactics, and Duncan's first pick-and-roll was actually a fake pick-and-roll, and when Parker and Ginobili blocked again, Duncan was already moving quickly.
Normally, after disrupting the defense with a double block, Parker will dribble to a 45-degree angle on the left.
At this time, he can choose to pass the ball to Duncan who is down, Ginobili who is retreating from the top of the arc, or directly choose to break through and make a pull-up jump shot.
But this time, the Heat's pursuit and defense were very steady, and Wade and Lin Fei's defense change was also very fast, smooth and fast.
In the face of Lin Fei, who quickly changed the defense and pressed up, coupled with the inevitable nervousness at the beginning of the away game, Parker's choice of ball was a little rushed.
Originally, it was the best choice to give Duncan to Shun, but seeing that Haslem was chasing the defense very closely, Parker chose to give Ginobili who was withdrawn to the three-point line as soon as possible.
The emergence of Lin Fei has made subtle changes to all teams in the NBA, and the offensive proportion of three-point shots in the game has also increased significantly.
"Smack!"
Parker's pass was too risky, and Wade, who was highly focused, hit a carp and flew to cut off the basketball.
This ball Wade pounced too hard, and the whole person fell to the ground with an unstable center of gravity.
Lin Fei and Wade had a clear mind, and they started to accelerate at the first time, throwing off Parker and Ginobili, and quickly rushed towards the basketball in the front court.
"Whoosh!"
This change came too suddenly, and the Heat team completed a steal in the first defense of the opening game, and the cheers in the American Airlines arena instantly increased by dozens of decibels.
Lin Fei's explosiveness has become quite strong, and his reaction is one step ahead, so the moment he stepped on the middle line, he directly reached out and picked up the basketball, and after two steps, he made an emergency stop one meter away at the top of the arc, and quickly made a move to close the ball.
"Whoosh!"
Ginobili, who was the first to catch up, clenched his teeth, jumped up and wanted to block Lin Fei's shot from the back.
And Lin Fei had already seen the six ways, and the dribble after a fake ball moved directly to Ginobili, followed by a second Parker who pounced on him.
While the two turned around and pounced again, and the Spurs' third defender, Bruce Bowen, only chased the gap near the halfway line.
Jump decisively, lightning shot.
"Huh!"
The first.
Last night's stars and last night's wind, chasing three points like meteors.
Lin Fei Wade is fried by two kings, and he has a good heart.
Lin Fei, who landed in a dashing manner, also smiled and spread his hands to Parker and Ginobili in front of him, and the look of surprise on their faces made him feel quite satisfied:
"Hi buddy, welcome to Miami! The rainy season on the South Coast is coming! ”
Wade also jumped up from the ground with a smile and high-fived Lin Fei vigorously.
This is a perfect offensive and defensive cooperation between Lin Fei and Wade at the beginning, showing the incomparable strength of the Heat's two guards.
The old man Bobo on the sidelines looked very angry, and pointed directly at Parker on the court, and his beard stood up.
But Mr. Bobo also has to admit that the current Lin Fei and Wade are no longer the ones in the regular season.
This improvement in offensive and defensive strength made Bobo think of only two words: horror!
In front of the commentary table on the sidelines, seeing Lin Fei hit a three-point chase in a fast break at the beginning, and he also shook Ginobili and Parker in a row.
The expression on his natural face instantly became rich and exaggerated, and he was full of praise with foam:
"What did I say without Kenny? Lin was born for big scenes! ”
"Dwayne is also quite exciting this time to fly and break the ball, the opening first defense is so hard, he deserves to be the new MVP!"
Kenny Smith also agreed: "I really can't help but give applause to these two young people, it seems that they have been getting along very well, and the tacit understanding is very high!" ”
"The gossip in the media and newspapers has been self-defeating in the Heat's offensive and defensive conversion!"
Xiao Mildew, who was sitting in the third row on the sidelines, also screamed excitedly at this time, cheering for Lin Fei's beautiful three-point shot.
At the beginning, Lin Fei scored three points with a one-on-two bukkake, although Parker and Ginobili were holding their breath in their hearts, they still had to strictly follow the tactics of Old Man Bobo and attack the positional battle step by step.
This time, after blocking and dismantling, the ball was given to Duncan near the free throw line, facing his back against Haslem, turning over and accelerating to break through, and making a sharp stop at a 45-degree angle to wipe the board and hit it steadily.
"Huh!"
Duncan's signature moves have always been light-hearted, and even though Haslem's defense is one of the most active efforts on the Heat team, his talent is still limited.
Heat (3) :(2) Spurs.
The five sets of commentary teams of the Celestial Empire, who were on the rooftop of the audience, Director Zhang couldn't help but sigh at this time:
"Duncan's 45-degree angle to find the board is really a great skill, don't look at this one to turn around and break through, it looks simple, but the technical points are still very complicated!"
"Haslem can't defend Duncan alone, it seems that the Heat still have to adopt a proper wrap-and-clamp strategy, if Duncan is allowed to open, it is not a good sign!"
On the court, the Heat attacked.
Wade came to a 45-degree angle on the left side of the front court and faced Tony Parker's defense.
In the defense of positional warfare, the Spurs did quite rigorously, and Bruce Bowen always chased Lin Fei without the ball, like a dog skin plaster.
Parker and Ginobili, on the other hand, also keep an eye on the ball-handler's passing intentions and maximize their interference.
In terms of preventing Lin Fei from catching the ball, the Spurs are definitely the best team in the league, and Mr. Bobo has a lot of experience and insight into this.
"Whoosh!"
Wade naturally didn't need to be cowardly in the face of Parker, it was almost a misplaced crush, even if the other party let go of himself two steps away, but still chose to break through directly.
Accelerated into the penalty area with Parker's change of direction, and in the face of Duncan's accurate and decisive defense, Wade's eyes were like torches, and his fighting spirit rolled into the sea, and he directly changed direction against Duncan.
After taking off, he leaned over to find space and threw the ball to the basket with difficulty.
Duncan's help defense is still very smart, although it didn't give Wade the strongest physical confrontation, but it forced him to shoot in the toughest way.
In terms of the overall defensive level at the power forward position, Duncan and Garnett are definitely the top two in the league today, and the Pistons' Rasheed Wallace is still a lot worse.
"Bang dang!"
The ball bumped into the inside of the basket and bounced straight out.
But the behemoth under the basket jumped up directly from the defender, pouted the leather drum and grabbed the ball with both hands, and directly made up for the dunk.
"Boom!"
It's not a bystander, it's naturally the "big shark" O'Neill.
The defensive tactics that Mr. Bobo arranged for the Spurs before the game, the first defensive focus is Lin Fei, the second defensive focus is Wade, and the third is O'Neal.
The 33-year-old O'Neal is clearly no longer the dominant player he had in the league during his OK years, but if anyone questions his position as the No. 1 center, it will come at a cost for his return.
Spurs' starting center Mohammed can't stop O'Neal at all, and once Duncan goes up to the guard, the penalty area will become O'Neal's overturn.
The ball was switched, and the Spurs continued to play a complex pick-and-roll strategy, this time the ball was given to Duncan from Ginobili's hand, and Duncan directly chose to break through the basket.
O'Neal used a nimble back to shake off Muhammad and help defend to a favorable position under the basket.
Duncan faced O'Neal's small throw with a quick stop, the crosshair was still a little short, and the rebound was firmly protected by O'Neal.
O'Neal made a quick pass and gave the ball to Wade to accelerate quickly.
In the face of Parker, who was urgently retreating, Wade killed the lightning meteor all the way, and his strong body was unstoppable at all, and it was a powerful dunk to rush into the penalty area and jump up directly.
"Boom!"
The Heat came up and played a 7:2, with the Big Three scoring one goal each, and the offensive and defensive ends perfectly showed their own styles and characteristics.
The cheers in the American Airlines arena were ignited again, and Bobo hurriedly called a long timeout in anger.
The opening situation was very unfavorable for the Spurs, and adjustments must be made to resolutely not give the Heat a chance to play a quick offensive counterattack.
"Why is the defense so slow? Are you all fucking hungry? Let's all run, we're not here to be embarrassed! ”
"Tony, what are you panicking about? Can Dwayne and Lin eat you? If you can't fight, get out of here! ”
In the face of Bobo's angry scolding, the Spurs lowered their heads, but they were underestimating in their hearts.
It's only been two minutes since the game, so it's not going to be so grumpy, right?
On the Heat's side, Stan Van Gundy smiled and patted the Big Three on the shoulder, and the morale of the whole Heat team was high, which is a good sign for tonight's game.
It's good to play well at home, and once you have built up confidence and a lead at the start, it will be quite difficult for the visitors to turn the tables around.
Especially in this high-end game of the NBA Finals, there is little room for error.
After the timeout, it was Duncan who hit a mid-range jumper against Haslem, which was as steady as an old dog.
After all, he is already an FMVP-level star who has played in the finals twice, and the more he reaches the high-end game, the stronger he will play.
That's the difference between a real supergiant and a regular star.
The Heat attacked, and Wade didn't choose to be brutal in the breakthrough, and gave a high profile to O'Neal under the basket, who scored steadily with Muhammad's small hook.
"Huh!"
Playing in the Finals for the sixth time in his career, O'Neal seems to be at ease and feels more relaxed than playing in the regular season.
O'Neal's health basketball is a real hammer.
Wade, as the starting point guard of the current Heat team, in addition to his personal offense, is bound to take into account the team's overall cooperation.
Although he is not top-notch in terms of organizational talent, he is fortunate to have two super teammates, O'Neal and Lin Fei, so as long as Wade keeps his vision open, he can always easily brush up on cost-effective assists.
It's just that tonight, Bobo's guy made it clear that he couldn't get past Lin Fei, and he almost didn't give him a chance to catch the ball in the positional battle defense.
In the subsequent offense of the Heat, the Big Three played a triangle attack on the strong side, and after covering inside and outside, Lin Fei directly took away the defensive attention of the two people, which also made O'Neal easily go down.
Pick up Wade's pass and send another dunk.
"Boom!"
Seeing that the Heat's lead went straight to double digits, the Heat fans at home were naturally excited, cheering one after another.
But the Lin Fei fans sitting in the front row, especially Xiao Mildew, Scarlett and Amber, began to fight for Lin Fei.
"This Spurs defense is too aimed at Lin? This is clearly the rhythm that will not let Lin get a high score even if he loses! ”
"Bobo, this old man is very bad, why can't he get along with Lin? At this pace, it is not difficult for the Heat to win the championship, but it is difficult for Lin to get FMVP! ”
After the entire first quarter, O'Neal became the team's highest-scoring player, shooting all 5 of 5, 2 of 3 free throws, and scoring 12 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block in a single quarter.
The big shark in the finals is still terrifying, even though he is 33 years old.
Heat (29) :(19) Spurs.
Heading into the second quarter with a 10-point advantage.
Wade got 8 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter, and his performance was quite comprehensive.
Lin Fei was under the special care of the Spurs, but he only hit the wonderful three-point chase in the opening quarter in the first quarter, and only scored 3 points and 2 steals in a single quarter.
Although the offensive performance was limited, Lin Fei on the defensive end was always impeccable.
Manu Ginobili, who was on the opposite side, was completely dumbfounded, scoring only 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting in a single quarter, and also made 2 turnovers.
And Ginobili's only goal in the first quarter was after Lin Fei went off the court.
The Heat always adhered to the strategy of not containing Duncan and completely cut off the outside firepower, which also allowed Duncan to score 11 points in a single quarter, and he was quite efficient on 5-of-6 shooting.
The entire first quarter can be said to be a confrontation between O'Neal and Duncan, the league's top two supergiants.
But Lin Fei and Wade's top-tier defense also contributed to it.
Stan Van Gundy let Lin Fei play only 9 minutes in the first quarter, and in the opening stage of the second quarter, he replaced Wade and O'Neal, who played the whole first quarter, and let Lin Fei and Jason Williams play with roughly equal people.
The Spurs also temporarily replaced Duncan, but Parker and Ginobili remained on the court.
During this time, Lin Fei became the only offensive core of the Heat team, and the Heat's second set of no-ball tactics also worked quickly.
In the second quarter, the Heat attacked first, Lin Fei used a rough cover at the top of the arc, received Williams' ground-hitting pass, and faced Ginobili with a feigned shot, and shot a fatal three-point shot after consecutive step-backs.
"Huh!"
Ginobili pounced too the ball, and the ball went straight to a foul when the whistle came.
"Beep!"
Ginobili, who was beaten into 3+1, frowned, and was surprised by Lin Fei's series of actions.
This is exactly the same as Lin Fei, who can only catch the ball at last year's Olympics, and has already been completely judged by the two.
This dribbling level and rhythm change is completely below him.
With the accumulation of more free attribute points in the playoffs, Lin Fei, who came to the finals, has now directly improved his dribbling attribute to 92 points.
At this level, it can be said that it is no longer below the 90% of the league's active guards.
Seeing Lin Fei use his personal strong offensive ability to bukkake Ginobili to score 3+1, the home fans of the American Airlines Arena cheered loudly again.
Although Wade's breakthrough is sharp, and O'Neal's dunk is also very domineering, what they want to see most is Lin Fei's three-point shot!
The originally mediocre and even somewhat boring outside three-point has now become an art on the NBA court in Lin Fei's hands.
Back on the defensive end, Lin Fei faced Ginobili, chasing sharp and fast, and also did not give the opponent a chance to receive the ball easily.
But Duncan wasn't on the court, Ginobili and Parker were the two main points of attack, and they had to step up.
Parker tried to break through Jason Williams, and sure enough, the white chocolate defense couldn't match Wade, allowing Parker to easily get to the basket and make a decisive shot with a small turn.
However, at this moment, a vigorous figure walked down quickly, jumped directly at the position of taking a big step inside the free throw, and the long arm covered the sky and the sun, and slammed down towards the basketball.
"Smack!"
It's Lin Fei!
Lin Fei sent a flying chase hat with a strong ornamentation, and slapped the basketball on the tempered rebound.
Parker and Ginobili were also shocked and their jaws dropped, Lin Fei's chasing hat was too fast, right?
The basketball rebounded from the pegboard hat and was caught by the quick-eyed Jason Williams, and the Heat quickly launched a counterattack.
The Spurs' retreat was also very timely, and Lin Fei didn't stop after chasing the hat when he landed, and quickly went to the side to meet the white chocolate.
"Whoosh!"
Ginobili and Bruce Bowen almost all came up to block Lin Fei from the outside, and Williams was delayed by Parker in the left frontcourt.
At this time, Lin Fei suddenly ran back and cut the basket, his movements were as sharp as a sword, which caught Ginobili and Bruce Bowen a little off guard.
"Whoosh!"
White Chocolate's pass was quite accurate, Lin Fei received the ball after stepping into the penalty area, and at this time successfully threw the defender two steps away, jumped up and completed a dunk It can be said that it is quite easy.
The fans of the Celestial Empire, who were waiting in front of the TV to watch the finals in the early morning, couldn't help but get excited at this time, is their Fei Ge going to dunk in the air?
You must know that Lin Fei has played in the NBA for two seasons, but he has never had a dunk in actual combat, or even a two-point shot in a sports battle.
"Brother Fei is going to be deducted, I'm damn, Tai Nima is handsome, right?"
"Lin Fei's running position is too good to cut his awareness, and Jason Williams is also very timely!"
"No matter how ugly Feige's ball dunk is, it should be enough to cause a sensation in the NBA, right? Ha ha! ”
Just when everyone thought that Lin Fei was going to fly to complete a dunk,
Lin Fei, who entered the basket, was a bewildering marching Buddha, directly shaking up the chasing Ginobili, changing direction slightly, slipping the bottom line and killing out of the penalty area, straight to the left outside line 0 degree angle.
Lin Fei's operation directly deceived everyone in the Spurs, and even deceived his teammates.
Lin Fei, who slipped the bottom line and dribbled out of the three-point line, made a sudden stop and turned over at a 0-degree angle on the left side, and made a beautiful elegant shot, which directly blinded the eyes of all fans.
"Huh!"
The third.
A dunk is the most likely to be injured, how can two points be three points?
After a moment of silence, the American Airlines arena exploded.
Wade and O'Neal, who were still sitting on the bench on the sidelines, also jumped up from their seats with exaggerated expressions in an instant, posing as if they were on their backs.
"Oh my God, I just want to see Lin dunk, why is he so hard?"
