【202】 Lin Fei's third crown, belated glory!
After the start of the third quarter, the Mavericks tried to launch a wave of crazy counterattacks, but the guard line was never able to break through.
Devin Harris and Manu Ginobili have been imprisoned by Lin Fei and Wade's top-notch defensive intensity, and their successive air cuts and cover runs have failed to get good chances.
Ginobili played with Nowitzki in an attack, misplaced and held the ball strongly, and Lin Fei, who was caught up by the flyer, directly served with a big hat.
"Smack!"
The Heat team quickly launched a counterattack and fast attack, Lin Fei seemed to step on the hot wheels, and the dribble did not slow down and changed direction to connect two people, and the chasing three-point two meters away from the top of the arc hit another one.
"Huh!"
The seventh.
Immediately after Wade made another steal from Devin Harris in a single defensive press,
In the process of counterattacking, Lin Wei connected again, and after receiving the pass, he rushed into the penalty area and was another big windmill dunk.
"Boom!"
The cheers in the American Airlines arena were higher and higher, and the excited female fans screamed hysterically.
"Look, what's the best defense? The backcourt combination of Lin and Dwayne is really amazing, perfect offensive and defensive! ”
"Dwayne really has a set of ball defenders, and Lin is even more experienced in chasing the ball and making up defenses!"
"On the offensive end, Lin's outside three-point solution is incomprehensible, Wade's breakthrough is invincible, Lin Wei's connection is too classic, it's a pity that it's ......"
"I really hope that the Big Three can be combined for another year, and our Heat's three-consecutive championship dynasty will be absolutely stable!"
"Let's watch and cherish it, this is really likely to be the last game of the Big Three combined!"
The Mavericks' guard line was completely locked by Lin Fei and Wade, and Daniels on the bench was even more stretched, and the burden of offense could only fall on Nowitzki and Josh Howard.
Nowitzki, who didn't feel good outside in the first half tonight, was not easy to be independent.
Therefore, in the third quarter, the individual breakthrough and air cut were strengthened, and the proportion of low back play was increased.
As an offensive power forward, Nowitzki is known for his accurate mid-to-long-range shooting.
But in fact, Nowitzki's low-post offensive skills are also very solid, although they can't be compared with Duncan's big basic skills, but they are also considered first-class.
The forward and back turns in the low post are easy to handle, and the footwork is quite agile.
The change in offensive strategy made Nowitzki's scoring efficiency rise rapidly, and he generally ate fouls in a row, and was replaced by Old Mourning in advance to protect him.
At the same time, as the team's No. 3 scoring point, Josh Howard also strengthened his individual singles, but the efficiency was mediocre.
O'Neal regained his sense of being the league's No. 1 center tonight.
Facing his upcoming fifth championship trophy, the Sharks were in high spirits, and before the first three quarters were played, they had already grabbed 10 rebounds on both offensive and defensive ends and got two double-doubles in advance.
After being hacked to the free throw line, O'Neal first hit the first free throw, and then deliberately slammed the basketball to the front of the basket on the second free throw, and grabbed the offensive rebound by himself.
Step against Diop, sideways hook hand again.
"Huh!"
Seeing O'Neal score 3 points in a row and regain confidence at the free throw line, Lin Fei and Wade also laughed and applauded, and the harmonious picture between the Big Three was keenly captured by the cameras on the sidelines.
"Shaquille's peak years, the rapid rise of Lin and Dwayne, belong to the perfect inheritance of two generations of superstars, this is the endless life of the NBA!"
"If there are no accidents, Shaquille will lift the fifth championship of his career tonight, and it seems that joining the Heat from the Lakers was a very correct choice!"
"If the Heat win the championship tonight, Shaquille will also become the first superstar in NBA history to win back-to-back championships on two different teams!"
"This championship, for the big shark, may not be as valuable as the first four, but it will also make his historical status a step further!"
The Heat have an advantage in rebounding, and the overall shooting percentage is higher than that of the Mavericks, so the huge lead in the score is naturally reasonable.
At the end of the third quarter, as Wade broke through continuously to cause kills, the Mavericks' defensive attention was helplessly tilted towards the Flash.
Lin Fei, who didn't make a move on the offensive end for most of the quarter, finally unsheathed his sword again, switching from containment mode to assassin mode.
Two consecutive three-pointers with the ball penetrated Young, making the Mavericks' defense lose sight of one or the other.
In the last 3.2 seconds of the third quarter, Ginobili's European step layup covered by Mourning was interfered with and missed.
Wade, who rushed into the basket, grabbed the defensive rebound, and quickly gave it to Lin Fei near the top of the arc after landing.
Lin Fei took the ball and quickly turned over, and when he looked up, he saw the timer behind the tempered rebound in the front court, and there were only 2 seconds left in the final quarter of the game.
A large backdribble to get rid of Josh Howard, Lin Fei hurriedly stepped forward and jumped abruptly one meter outside the three-point line at the top of his own arc.
Shoot at the basket 20 meters away, ride a horse and shoot an arrow, and quickly push the basketball out.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball crossed the air 20 meters away from the court, and the excited Heat fans at the scene got up one after another, always feeling that the ball was going to be scored.
Just the next moment when the red light of the tempered rebound turned on,
"Bang!"
"Huh!"
An incredible hit into the net was like dropping an atomic bomb over the American Airlines Arena.
"Ah...... The ball is in! Lin Fei! Lin Fei hit a super long shot of more than 20 meters! ”
"In my mind, this should be the farthest three-pointer he has ever shot in his career!"
In the stands on the second floor, Director Zhang, Yang Yi and others all waved their fists excitedly and cheered, cheering for Lin Fei's magical whistle three points to celebrate.
Lin Fei's three-point shot seemed to completely kill the suspense of the game and made the Mavericks players feel desperate.
Mark Cuban, who was sitting on the sidelines + in the front row, also looked lonely, looking at Lin Fei, who was cheered and admired by thousands of people on the court,
It's really hard to believe that this is the Celestial Empire person he has been discriminating against in his heart.
Heat (101) :(72) Mavericks.
At the end of the third quarter, driven by the collective power of the Big Three, the Heat has led the Mavericks by a full 29 points.
If you want to recover 29 points in the last 12 minutes of the final quarter, and it is on the stage of the finals to tie seven, I am afraid that there is only a theoretical possibility left.
Qin Dongmei, Song Yang and Xiao Mildew in the front row on the sidelines, as well as the parents and wives of other Heat players, all stood up and applauded excitedly at this time.
greeted the main players of the Heat who came off the court.
Everyone was very excited at the moment, and they couldn't help but start celebrating the championship in advance.
Stan Van Gundy also shook hands and hugged Spoelstra, the head assistant coach next to him, and several other assistant coaches.
As if the Heat coaching staff had completed their mission tonight, the Big Three could clock out three quarters early.
Stan Van Gundy, who has been coaching the Heat for three seasons by Pat Riley's right-hand man, is on contract that expires at the end of the season.
Whether to stay with the Heat for the upcoming season or coach elsewhere, Stan Van Gundy is currently facing a similar choice to Lin Fei.
Although Stan Van Gundy did not win the best coach award in the three seasons he coached the Heat, he ran with him for two consecutive years.
The excellent record of the Heat team is more due to the strength of the Big Three.
But after all, the Miami Heat is a super team that is about to win a championship, and Stan Van Gundy's exposure and influence have naturally increased.
Even if the Heat can't give Stan Van Gundy a new contract that he is satisfied with, Van Gundy is not worried about a new job, and more than three teams have already offered him an olive branch.
Among them is James Dolan's New York Knicks.
At the beginning of the last quarter, Stan Van Gundy let Wade and roughly take the benches to play, while Lin Fei and O'Neal sat on the bench talking and laughing, waiting for the championship to arrive.
"Lin, if you go to a new team next season, you will be the boss of the single core, it is a matter of time before you win the MVP, and when my contract with the Heat expires, I will go to you and strive to win another championship, and you can't help but welcome my brother when the time comes!"
Facing O'Neill's joke, Lin Fei chuckled: "Shaquille, of course it's no problem, as long as you don't mind the veteran's basic salary at that time!" ”
O'Neal said with an exaggerated expression: "If you can really take me, a 39-year-old guy, to win the championship again, not to mention the basic salary, I can give the team money!" ”
Although the Heat swept the Spurs 4-0 in the finals last year, the night of winning the championship was quite exciting, and finally relied on the 35 seconds and 13 minutes of the Big Three to kill the game.
And tonight's tie-break battle, the Heat is obviously much richer in this battle, leading by 29 points in the third quarter, and the suspense of the final quarter is almost killed.
was supposed to be a wonderful battle for the seventh, but in the end it showed a situation of slaughter,
This naturally disappointed David Stern, who was sitting on the sidelines, but he was helpless.
It can only be said that the current Heat is too strong.
Although O'Neal's dominance may have decreased a little compared to last season, Lin Fei and Wade have improved their strength to the next level, and they have also improved as Battier.
Especially after returning from a three-game ban, Lin Fei's performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends tonight was impeccable, truly showing the high level of superstars.
After three quarters, Lin Fei played 31 minutes, shooting 11 of 14 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws, and efficiently scored 39 points and 7 assists, plus 3 steals and 1 block.
If it weren't for the fact that the suspense of the game had basically been lost in the last quarter, it would be absolutely possible for Lin Fei to win another 50+ game under the condition of playing normally.
On the court at this time, the Mavericks naturally didn't dare to lose the Finals like this, and it was still the main lineup led by Nowitzki in the final quarter.
Ginobili took advantage of Lin Fei's absence to break through one after another on the offensive end, and also hit an outside three-pointer from the cover.
Nowitzki's hand also picked up, hitting a three-pointer in about the same way.
Although the Mavericks set off a small climax of chasing points, Wade on the Heat side was not to be outdone, and continued strong offensive breakthroughs, making the Mavericks' restricted area defense rumorful.
The home whistle has always taken care of the Heat, and the referees have long since decided that the suspense of the game can be pulled back.
With Wade hitting both free throws from the free throw line, the Flash's individual score tonight also came to 30 points, plus six rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks.
Stimulated by the championship, the role players of the Heat team also dared to fight, Alice's breakthrough, Murphy's jump shot, and all of them were high.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Mavericks chased back and forth, but only recovered 5 points, and the difference was still 24 points.
Seeing that the Mavericks' main force is not down, the Heat can only leave one main force to play on the court.
Stan Van Gundy did not blindly favor Wade to score points, and in the subsequent long timeout, he replaced Wade with Lin Fei and O'Neal.
At the same time, several Heat water cooler managers were also asked to follow on the court to experience the atmosphere of the finals.
Seeing Lin Fei walk onto the court again, the American Airlines Arena was thunderous, and the fans chanted Lin Fei's name in unison, chanting that the championship is here again.
"Van Gundy is finally a bit human, this is Lin's last game for the Heat, how can he get him to punch in the third quarter? You have to fight until the end of the game! ”
"The time Lin stayed with the Heat can only be measured in minutes and seconds now!"
"The Heat Big Three are forever classics, and I think it's even stronger than the 96-98 Bulls Big Three!"
On the court, Lin Fei came to the front court with the ball, and with the help of general cover, he misplaced himself against Nowitzki's change of defense.
The strong burst that lowered the center of gravity made Nowitzki quickly retreat, followed by a sudden double step-back, back to the three-point line, and rose to the ground to meet the lightning of the Noble King.
"Huh!"
The twelfth.
Nowitzki clearly hit Lin Fei's wrist, but Joey Crawford's whistle didn't blow.
Lin Fei's three-point shots are so accurate, and it would be really unreasonable to give the whistle when he went back.
After landing on the ground, Lin Fei stretched out his hands at Nowitzki, shook his head with a smile and sighed:
"Dirk, thank you for giving me the chance to play in the tiebreaker, and look forward to next season, we can meet again in the playoffs!"
Nowitzki has completely accepted the result of defeat at this time, even if he parachutes a peak Jordan to the Mavericks, it is impossible to recover 27 points in the last 5 minutes, right?
Although he did not respond positively to Lin Fei's words, Nowitzki felt extremely regretful in his heart,
One of the things he regrets most in his NBA career so far is that he failed to grasp that precious match point in Game 6 of the Finals.
In the Heat's subsequent offenses, Lin Fei did not score again, but tried his best to assist the role players to score.
Monta Alice, Dorrell White, Witt Simien, and all three of them are rookie players in the last two years, and it's a great honor to play in the Finals.
For these rookie players who don't have a high starting point, being able to score one more point in the Finals will give them a lot of confidence and even change their careers.
The game quickly played to the last 2 minutes,
As Lin Fei sent a steal on the defensive end, he assisted Dorrell White to break through and dunk in the counterattack fast break.
"Boom!"
Heat (127) :(103) Mavericks.
still led the Mavericks by 24 points, completely sealing the game.
Mavericks coach Avery Johnson shook his head and sighed, waved a big hand to call a timeout, replaced the main player, and finally chose to surrender.
Stan Van Gundy's side also replaced Lin Fei and O'Neal.
Lin Fei was in the first finals tie-break of his career, and his personal statistics were finally fixed at 42 points, 10 assists, 1 rebound, 4 steals and 1 block.
Countless fans in the four spectator seats of the American Airlines arena stood up and cheered, waiting for the game to end and the championship to come.
Lin Fei, who walked off the court, hugged every Heat player and hugged the members of the coaching staff, and everyone couldn't hold back their excitement anymore.
After a season of hard work and hard work, especially the twists and turns of the finals, the Heat finally completed the great cause of defending the title.
It became the sixth team in NBA history to successfully defend the title after the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls and Houston Rockets.
Pat Riley, who was sitting in the front row, also got up and walked to the sideline to hug and congratulate the players.
Heat owner Mickey Allison was also in full swing, taking the elevator from the luxury box on the top of the hall to quickly go downstairs to participate in the championship award ceremony after the game.
On the other hand, on the bench of the Mavericks, the players all had a lonely look on their faces, they were so close to the championship, but they had no choice but to miss it.
This may become an eternal pain in the hearts of some players.
When the final whistle blew, the shrill beep sounded like heaven.
Lin Fei and the Heat players rushed to the center of the court together, welcoming the arrival of another championship trophy amid the flowers and streamers falling from the sky.
"Ahhh
"Miami, I love you!"
"Woo woo, I'm so moved, I'm a rough guy who hasn't shed tears for decades, I can't collapse tonight!"
"To be able to witness the Heat win the championship at home, I don't lose in my life!"
At this time, on the high-definition four-sided screen on the top of the tube, a picture clip of the Heat winning the championship at the Spurs' home court last season was also played, as well as the 35 seconds and 13 minutes of the Big Three.
In the square outside the American Airlines arena, tens of thousands of Heat fans also jumped up and down, indulging in shouting.
Tonight's Miami is destined to be sleepless.
Qin Dongmei walked onto the court with a smile and hugged Lin Fei.
Both of them recalled the target center arena two years ago, which was Lin Fei's 20th birthday and the day Lin Qinlian was officially confirmed.
Although tonight is not the second anniversary, the excitement of winning the championship again is far more meaningful than the second anniversary.
Seeing Lin Fei and Qin Dongmei hugging each other, the mildew standing on the side pouted, somewhat lonely.
The Mavericks players had already rolled out of the court early, and staff quickly set up a podium in the middle of the court.
The Heat's players and coaching staff, as well as members of management, key team members, including owner Mickey Allison,
At this time, they all changed into commemorative T-shirts of the championship, put on baseball caps printed with the logo of the championship of the 05-06 season, and stood on the podium of the championship together.
The glittering O'Brien Cup and Bill Russell Cup were both pushed to the side of the podium at this time, radiating dazzling brilliance.
In the cheers of 20,000 Heat fans at home and more than 50,000 fans outside the court,
David Stern was still the first to say a polite word, thanking the Dallas Mavericks as the runner-up, and finally announced in a loud voice:
"Let's give the warmest applause and cheers to this season's championship winner: the Miami Heat!"
Surrounded by Wade and O'Neal, owner Allison and general manager Pat Riley also chose to stand aside and applaud.
Lin Fei was pushed to the front, and in the cheers of the sky, he took the heavy championship trophy from David Stern's hand and held it high above his head:
"Champion, here we go again!"
The fans at the scene let out hoarse cheers, chanting for the championship and shouting FMVP.
Lin Fei handed the championship trophy to Wade next to him, and this glory was passed in the hands of every Heat player and coach.
Erin Andrews, as the chief reporter of ESPN tonight, also interviewed Lin Fei, Wade, Heat owner and general manager Pat Riley respectively.
"Lin, this is the third year in a row that you've won a championship, and it makes you the first rookie player in NBA history to win a championship in the first three seasons of your career!"
"Is there anything you have to share with the fans at this moment?"
Lin Fei crossed his hands on his waist and bowed his head slightly, smiled at the microphone handed over and said:
"It's the third time, but it's still a great feeling to win and I'm already looking forward to winning the fourth time!"
"Thank you to every one of my teammates with the Heat, thank you to the fans in Miami, you will always be my motivation on the court no matter where I am in the new season!"
Lin Fei's speech is always inexplicably sensational, and many female fans at the scene couldn't help but cry in joy.
With the presentation of the championship trophy, the next thing is that Heat fans are more concerned about the official attribution of this year's Finals MVP.
Last year, O'Neal beat Lin Fei 4:3 to win the MVP of the finals, which caused huge controversy.
Who will be the MVP of this year's finals among Wade and Lin Fei?
The results of the votes of the seven judges had already been decided, and Adam Joke handed David Stern a note with the results written on it.
On the podium at this time, at the instigation of O'Neal, the players of the Heat pushed Wade and Lin Fei to the center.
There is no doubt that the Finals MVP will inevitably be produced between the two.
As David Stern opened the note and stared at the results on it, the entire American Airlines arena fell silent in an instant, and fans were eagerly awaiting the announcement of the results.
More than 20 million Celestial Empire fans are waiting in front of the TV and mobile phones, also waiting for the final ownership of FMVP.
"No way, it's definitely going to be Wade again, in comparison, this year's Wade is more competitive than last year's O'Neal!"
"Tonight's Lin Fei had 42 points and 10 assists, once again beating Wade's 32 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and averaged more than 45 points per game in four games, but he suffered a loss and was banned for 3 games!"
"Phineas averaged more than 45 points per game in the four finals, this should be the highest average points per game in the entire NBA history in a single round of the finals, right? Michael Jordan averaged only 41 points per game in the 1993 Finals! ”
"From the moment the FMVP was given to the big shark last year, we should understand that it doesn't matter if Lin Fei wins the finals MVP or not!"
"Wade played seven games, averaging 37.2 points per game, and the other four statistics were equally comprehensive, with a shooting rate of 55%, in all fairness, this Finals MVP is indeed Wade's best chance, and Feigo was delayed by a ban!"
"It doesn't matter if you take it this year or not, next season when Lin Fei arrives at his new club, he will directly win a Grand Slam and slap these NBA judges in the face!"
After a brief moment of silence, David Stern cleared his throat and made a century-old decision in the limelight.
Looking at the voting results of the 7 judges on the note, David Stern directly tore off the note in his hand, and then announced loudly into the microphone:
"In the 2005-06 NBA Finals, the player who won the MVP of the Finals is: Lin Fei!"
When his name sounded in the president's mouth, Lin Fei was also extremely shocked, and the first person next to him to hug him tightly was Dwayne Wade.
"Lin, congratulations, all this is the glory you deserve!"
The American Airlines Arena was thunderous with joy, and fans chanted Lin Fei's name over and over again.
The seven finals MVP judges on the scene looked at each other and frowned.
Qin Dongmei, Taylor Swift, and his general wife Song Yang, including Scarlett and Hield, who were standing on the sidelines, were all excited and happy that Lin Fei could be crowned this FMVP.
