Harden, who is a senior in high school, is already the absolute main force of the school, and he has also been selected for the star team of all-meter high school students, and many NCAA college schools have thrown olive branches to him in advance.

Eyes returned to the target center arena, and after some twists and turns, the game continued to resume.

Eddie Curry was knocked back with an elbow, and Isaiah Thomas had to put Channing Frye on the center position.

Channing Frye, who is 2.11 meters tall, is an inside swingman at the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, and is a rookie in 2005 like David Lee.

Frye, the No. 8 pick in the first round, averaged 12.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game in his rookie season with the Knicks, a statistic that earned him a spot on the All-Rookie team.

But seeing that David Lee, who is not as good as himself, was promoted to the starting line in the new season, and he not only sat on the bench, but even reduced his playing time,

Naturally, Channing Frye was not satisfied with the management's arrangement, but there was nothing he could do.

In the original world, in the second season of Frye's career, with more playing time, his statistics dropped significantly, and he was then ruthlessly traded by the Knicks.

After the Trail Blazers mixed up for two more seasons and then went to the Suns, they opened up a new way of using it and began to increase their outside three-point shooting.

In Lin Fei's opinion, although Frye is in the front of the line and has enough advantages in height and arm span, the confrontation is too poor, he is easy to get injured, and his lateral speed is slow, which restricts his upper limit.

It's obvious that Frye isn't worth a lot of training, but it's a great necessity for him to train three points in advance with the Knicks and develop the high-turret attributes.

If Frye can show good outside shooting ability with the Knicks, the Knicks will not lose out whether they stay or trade him in the future.

In addition to Eddie Curry and Channing Frye, the Knicks have a tonnage-class center on the inside: Jerome James.

Although he is 2.13 meters tall, he weighs 136 kilograms and more than 300 pounds, fatter than Eddie Curry, has no talent at all, has a bad record off the court, has a poor attitude to the game, averages 3 points and 2 rebounds per game, and has an annual salary of more than 5 million US dollars to be his water cooler manager.

The Knicks still have a lot of problems on the bench right now, and they need to be further adjusted by Thomas's coaching staff and management.

Lin Fei took the lead in executing the two free throws of Atai's second-degree villain, and both of them were hit.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Immediately after that, Szebiak executed Marbury's technical foul and made a free throw.

"Huh!"

The Knicks served and attacked on the sideline, Lin Fei held the ball outside the arc to face Gerard Wallace, pretended to break through and stepped back, jumped sharply against the opponent, bent the bow and shot again.

Steven Gerrard defensively is good, but it's just for the average player, but it's not up to the level of the best defensive team right now, and his defensive advantage is more reflected in the help defense.

"Huh!"

The basketball hollowed into the net, this was Lin Fei's fifth three-pointer tonight.

McHale, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned, now that Atay has been sent off, if Lin Fei's hand continues to be hot, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the Timberwolves.

It is obviously not a way to let Gerard Wallace die alone, and it seems that Lin Fei must be properly trapped.

Looking back, the Timberwolves also took advantage of the Knicks' interior defensive weakness, and Garnett hit Channing Frye with his back to easily turn over and break through, and licked the basket to send the ball firmly into the basket.

"Huh!"

"Man, you're skinny like a black-skinned monkey, I guess the trash can should be your best home!"

In the face of Garnett's scoring and trash talk, the honest Channing Frye seemed helpless.

Marbury's breakthrough layup missed, and the Timberwolves launched a counterattack and fast break, and Gerard Wallace hit Ariza to the basket, jumped up and sent another dunk.

"Boom!"

"Beep!"

The ball whistled and the referee signaled for Gerrard's dunk to score and caused Ariza to foul the shot.

2+1。

There was a thunderous roar of joy in the target center arena, and although Atai was sent off, the whole Timberwolves team quickly played a home momentum, which made the Knicks' defense face collapse.

"Huh!"

With Gerard Wallace hitting a free throw from the free throw line, the Timberwolves also took a 12-point lead.

Knicks (37) :(49) Timberwolves.

Isaiah Thomas hurriedly called a timeout to interrupt the Timberwolves' ferocious momentum.

Marbury's average state tonight, coupled with Eddie Curry's injury and retirement, and the Timberwolves actively cut off the Knicks' passing ball, which led to Lin Fei having to enter a lonely situation.

But fortunately, from the current point of view, Lin Fei's three-point shots in 5 of 6 shots are quite efficient, and he feels hot, and he has made 9 free throws, and he has hit all of them.

But then the Timberwolves will definitely not let Lin Fei's singles go, and once the package is included, whether the Knicks' role players can step up will be a major question.

"The momentum of the Timberwolves is obvious, if the Knicks can't withstand it, the game is likely to be taken away by a wave in advance!"

"In the face of the top teams in the West, the Knicks' lineup run-in problem has been clearly exposed, if it is just Lin Lone Fighting, I'm afraid even if he gets 60+ again tonight, it will be difficult for the Knicks to win!"

"The depth of the Timberwolves' roster is terrifying, even without Atay, there are still 5 players in the team who average double-doubles per game!"

"Just relying on Lin's super play, it is almost impossible to win the Timberwolves, who have both offense and defense!"

On the court, the timeout came back.

Isaiah Thomas replaced Trevo Ariza, who had already committed three fouls, with Quentin Richardson.

Lin Fei continued to attack with the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.

Seeing that the whole Knicks team was completely passive in terms of momentum, Lin Fei knew that he had to hit a powerful goal as soon as possible to boost the low morale of his teammates.

In the face of Gerard Wallace's close defense, Lin Fei used a sharp change of direction to directly pass the opponent and accelerate the dribble into the three-point line.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing that Si Zebiak was the first to raise the defense, Lin Feijin turned over and changed direction again, and directly entered the penalty area by his friend's side.

Seeing Kevin Garnett, the last line of defense under the basket, Lin Fei, who had only 73 points in the layup, did not make a strong shot, but accurately distributed the ball to Marbury, who threw off Arroyo on the left side and cut in.

Marbury received the ball and went straight to the basket and threw the ball to the basket with the Garnetra pole.

"Bang!"

The basketball smashed directly on the tempered rebound at a strange angle, bounced to the right and missed the basket too much, and it was directly a bridge fly.

Just when the Timberwolves players and fans at the scene thought that Marbury was shooting an outrageous non-stick basket under Garnett's strict defense,

What happened in the next moment made everyone stunned.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei, who took off from the right side, just received Marbury's board pass, and smashed it directly into the basket without defensive interference.

"Boom!"

The staff in front of the technical desk quickly wrote down Lin Fei's data bar with rebounds +1 and points +2.

He also gave Marbury an assist.

After the dunk landed, Lin Fei roared with his fist, and high-fived Marbury in the middle of the defense, which was a tacit cooperation on the Knicks' guard line.

For being played by Lin Fei and Marbury 2-on-1, Garnett, the "wolf king" under the basket, was obviously extremely angry, and came to the offensive end to ask for the ball to beat Channing Frye, and turned over and hit another jumper.

"Huh!"

The second-year Fry can't prevent the peak wolf king at all, and if the Knicks don't cover it, he can only give it for nothing.

Lin Fei came to the offensive end to get the ball, and once again chose to practice Gerald Wallace on the outside, but this time he failed to hit the three-point retreat, and the basketball popped out of the frame and was protected by Garnett for the rebound.

However, the Wolves were too hasty in the counter-attacking fast attack, and Arroyo's pass was wrong, and it was completely stealed by Marbury.

"Smack!"

Lin Fei took advantage of the chaos to quickly turn over and throw off the defense to cut into the restricted area, received Marbury's pass, avoided Gerrard's chasing hat, and scored two more points with a low-handed layup.

"Huh!"

The first half of the game was quickly over, and with Lin Fei's efficient 31 points, 3 assists and 1 steal in the half, the Knicks barely maintained a score difference of less than 15 points.

Knicks (49) :(63) Timberwolves.

"Although Lin has shown more and more comprehensive skills on the offensive end, the Knicks' overall defense is still too poor, giving the Timberwolves too many opportunities to score easily!"

"In the face of top teams, the Knicks still have too many problems, plus Eddie Curry's injury, this is undoubtedly worse!"

"At present, there is no good way for the Knicks, and in the second half, Lin can only increase his strength, after all, his single efficiency is significantly higher than the overall cooperation of the whole team!"

After the start of the third quarter, Isaiah Thomas really let Lin Fei start the individual singles mode, and the rest of the players were fully responsible for covering the block and actively grabbing the board.

Timberwolves coach McHale also adjusted his defensive strategy according to the situation, allowing Gerard Wallace, Trenton Hassel, Szebiak and Ricky Davis to defend Lin Fei in a wheel battle.

consumes Lin Fei's physical energy, interferes with his mentality, and at the same time makes a decisive entrapment according to the situation and timing.

Under the continuous singles with the ball, Lin Fei's efficiency inevitably declined significantly, with 10 shots in a single quarter, but only 5 shots, including 3 three-pointers and 2 two-pointers, plus 4 free throws, and another 17 points in a single quarter.

In the case of being tightly encircled at the end of the quarter, Lin Fei also sent 3 assists in a row to help his teammates score in the open position.

On the offensive end, the Knicks scored 25 points in a single quarter, but on the defensive end, the Timberwolves scored 28 points, and the margin was also extended to 17 points.

Knicks (74) :(91) Timberwolves.

In the final quarter, the Timberwolves had the momentum to close the game early, Szebiak hit two three-pointers in a row, and Danny Granger also broke through Quentin Richardson to make it 2+1.

The Timberwolves blasted a wave of 9:2, and the lead directly extended to 24 points.

On the timer, there were only 10 minutes and 03 seconds left until the end of the final quarter.

Isaiah Thomas called a timeout again, watching Lin Fei on the bench only rest for less than 2 minutes, really worried that this would cause Lin Fei's injury.

It's just an inconsequential regular season, and with Eddie Curry out of the game due to injury, it's basically impossible to recover 24 points in the last 10 minutes of the final quarter.

So Isaiah Thomas made a quick decision and did not replace Lin Fei in advance, but planned to let go of this game and only replace Marbury to see the situation.

Lin Fei didn't force him to play, after all, if he wanted to make a big comeback, he really couldn't do it alone, not to mention that the Timberwolves were in hot state tonight, and the shooting rate of the starting bench was quite high.

Although he has the belief and will to fight for every game, Lin Fei, who has played in the league for 3 seasons, is more aware of the long and circuitous NBA regular season.

Appropriately give up some games behind by big scores, conserve physical strength to avoid injury, learn lessons and analyze experience, this is the quality that a professional player needs to have.

Although he felt that the general trend of this game was gone, Lin Fei still smiled and patted Marbury and Crawford and others who were about to play, and encouraged everyone to actively chase points.

Sitting on the bench, Lin Fei and Ariza next to him exchanged their experience in tonight's game, and gave guidance and suggestions on some problems of Ariza on the defensive end.

Ariza is convinced of Lin Fei's defensive level on the field, and as a standard 3D player, Ariza naturally hopes to learn more skills from Lin Fei.

"That's right, Trevaux, defending Gerrard can't be easily shaken, his feints are actually not standard, full of flaws, as long as you analyze carefully, it is easy to see through these little tricks!"

"It's not that you can't take the risk of tackles, but you have to be sure that you have to be on the flanks and have teammates to help you defend so that the damage can be kept to a minimum!"

Originally, Lin Fei and head coach Thomas both let go of this game in advance, but they didn't expect that under the leadership of Marbury and Crawford, the Knicks magically played a wave of scoring climaxes.

In the absence of the Timberwolves and Gerard Wallace, Marbury began to exert his power, breaking through the basket twice in a row and scoring difficult layups.

Crawford then made a steal on the defensive end, and on the counter-attack, he broke through to Quentin Richardson on the perimeter, who hit a three-point shot that pierced the heart.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves will inevitably relax when they are leading by a large score, and their choices on the offensive end have become arbitrary.

Szzambiak, who hit five three-pointers tonight, suddenly cooled down, and his next two outside shots ended in iron.

Danny Granger, who is not good at three-pointers, also tried a three-pointer from the outside, but still missed.

With a wave of 7:0, the Knicks once again chased the difference back to within 20 points.

At the critical moment, Szebiak rushed to the basket with the ball and scored two points against David Lee to help the Timberwolves stabilize the situation.

However, looking back, the unscrupulous Marbury took advantage of the cover to shoot a three-pointer directly from the outside, and the basketball hollowed into the net and pierced the heart with one arrow.

"Huh!"

Danny Granger's breakaway with the ball caused a foul on Channing Frye's hitter and he went to the free throw line and hit one of two free throws.

"Bang dang!"

"Huh!"

Looking back, Crawford Jordan possessed the ball, forced the basket with the ball, and sent the ball in with two pull-up layups, which also caused a foul on Granger's beaters.

2+1。

"Huh!"

With Crawford stepping to the free-throw line and adding free throws, the Knicks have quickly chased the deficit to 15 points.

Knicks (88) :(103) Timberwolves.

On the timer, there were 6 minutes and 10 seconds left before the final quarter.

When Lin Fei was out of the court, the Knicks chased 9 points in less than 4 minutes, magically bringing the suspense of the game back.

Timberwolves head coach McHale hurriedly called a long timeout, ready to switch to the main force to stabilize the situation.

Lin Fei and Ariza and others on the bench on the Knicks' side jumped up excitedly, applauding and cheering for the performance of Marbury and Crawford.

It seems difficult to recover 24 points in 10 minutes, but it seems to be a little easier to recover 15 points in 6 minutes.

Isaiah Thomas was also excited about the wave of chasing points brought out by Marbury, but he still hesitated to replace Lin Fei with another rush.

At this time, Lin Fei had already taken off his coat neatly, raised his arms and expanded his chest to prepare to reappear.

"Coach, our hope of winning is back, I believe Stephen and Jamal, the Knicks must not admit defeat so easily!"

Thomas nodded categorically, patted Lin Fei on the shoulder and said, "Lin, let go and fight, no matter whether you win or lose, I will stand in the first row and applaud you!" ”

Timberwolves fans at home were still a little surprised that the Knicks quickly chased the deficit back to 15 points, but they were not worried about being reversed.

After all, when the main force comes back, the Knicks' scoring momentum will inevitably be quickly curbed, even if Lin Fei is there.

After the timeout, the Timberwolves sent a big four-small lineup of Marbury, Lin Fei, Jamal Crawford, Trevor Ariza and David Lee.

Obviously, it is necessary to speed up the pace and finally win a handful.

As for defense, the Knicks couldn't stop the Timberwolves on the inside, so it was better to remove the center and use offense as defense.

Seeing Lin Fei reappear in the last 6 minutes of the final quarter, many Timberwolves fans at the scene were also excited.

Mike Brin and Reggie Miller in front of the commentary stage are also full of energy:

"Lin is back on the court, he has scored 48 points in the first three quarters, and it seems that tonight must be at least another 50+ scoring feast!"

"It's just that the Knicks want to reverse the 15-point difference to beat the Timberwolves, which is too difficult!"

On the court, the Timberwolves attacked.

Garnett faced David Lee in the high post frame and dribbled directly into the penalty area.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei decisively let go of Davis in advance and stepped forward to wrap up, and the wolf king greeted Lin Fei and sent a throw.

"Bang dang!"

Under Lin Fei's effective interference, the wolf king failed to hit the ball, but a figure flew up in the diagonal stab under the basket, and he directly took off to grab the ball to complete the dunk.

"Boom!"

It was Gerard Wallace who threw off Ariza.

Up to now, Gerald Wallace has scored 23 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, second only to the Wolves' 26 points and 11 rebounds, and is undoubtedly the second contributor to the Timberwolves' big lead tonight.

Isaiah Thomas, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned slightly, and at the critical moment of chasing points, the lack of defense in the penalty area was indeed helpless.

On the offensive end, in the face of Gerrard's fierce defense, Lin Fei did not play alone, but gave the ball to the hot Jamal Crawford and signaled him to play one.

In the face of the trust of the boss at the critical moment, Crawford took the lead, resisted the defense of Ricky Davis, continued to change direction and break through, and made a decisive move near the axis area.

"Huh!"

The basketball hollows into the net and hits steadily.

Knicks (100) :(115) Timberwolves.

The margin is still 15 points.

Lin Fei took the initiative to come up and high-five Crawford when he returned to the defense, and the morale of the Knicks team seemed to be raised.

Back on the defensive end, Arroyo held the ball and played with the high Wolves, and after the misplaced ball, Marbury and David Lee decisively rushed up to contain the Wolves.

Marbury was quick and cut off Garnett's basketball with a single hand, completing a crucial steal.

"Smack!"

As an old teammate of the former Timberwolves, Marbury can be said to have been living in the shadow of Garnett, and he has won more and lost many times than he has won many times.

Seeing Marbury complete the steal, Lin Fei's eyes flashed, and he galloped under his feet, throwing off the opposite Davis and accelerating to the front court on the side.

"Whoosh!"

Marbury quickly gave the ball to Lin Fei, who rushed to the front on the right side,

Lin Fei stepped into the front court after receiving the ball, and faced Ricky Davis, who overtook in the corner to catch up, and stopped and retreated with two steps in disguise.

In the high-speed march, he completely threw off the distance between himself and his opponent, jumped on the spot, bent his bow and arrows, and decisively chased down the three points.

"Huh!"

With the hit of this three-point shot, Lin Fei's personal score tonight officially came to 51 points.

The Timberwolves obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and continued to play steadily after coming to the offensive end.

Gerard Wallace held the ball high on the right side and forced Ariza to jump up after hitting the basket and was about to deliver a powerful dunk.

And Lin Fei, who decisively let go of the opponent from the left side, also flew up with Gerald's footsteps at this time.

The long arm was like a sheath out of the sky, towards the basketball that Gerrard was about to dunk into the basket, and the big hand of the fan version slapped down.

"Smack!"

It was a powerful frontal block, and the basketball bounced straight on the tempered rebound, just in time for David Lee to get it back.

David Lee quickly gave the ball to Crawford, who was nearby, and the six drove at full speed, accelerating the dribble to the front court.

Marbury and Lin Fei followed quickly, and the Knicks' fast break galloped.

The Timberwolves' return defense was also very timely, and the wolf king strode after Crawford, ready to deliver a chase cap at any time.

Crawford, who dribbled into the restricted area, deliberately adjusted his pace, wanting to use this to confuse the wolf king who was chasing behind him, so he jumped high and wanted to dunk directly.

"Smack!"

Garnett has been through a lot of battles, how could he be deceived by Crawford's little tricks? The tall body soared into the air, and the big hand slammed the basketball into the tempered rebound.

It's a shocking flying chaser.

However, before the Timberwolves fans on the scene could cheer, the situation on the court changed again.

"Bang!"

The basketball, which rebounded vigorously from the tempered rebound, was just picked up by Marbury, who followed up, and turned over with a quick diagonal pass.

Lin Fei, who followed up on the right, received the ball accurately outside the three-point line, made a quick stop and shook up Gerard Wallace, who was catching up, followed by a calm jump, chasing three points and shooting again.

"Huh!"

And also.

"Beep!"

3+1。
