Hundreds of security guards stood guard around the arena, armed with firearms.

Soon, the New York fans in the audience on all sides also began to panic, and there was a lot of talk to each other.

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly rush out so much security? ”

"It's over, I just sent a text message from outside the venue, saying that there are gangsters outside with guns and killing people! Most likely an attack by a terrorist group! ”

"Terrorist organizations? Don't make such jokes, Madison Square Garden is so well secured, how can terrorists sneak in? ”

"Are the police in New York eating dry food? Is it crazy to let terrorists get into Madison Square Garden with guns? ”

Some of the fans in the seats began to panic and even got up to evacuate, but were forcibly controlled by security personnel.

"Don't panic, it's not a terrorist at all, I heard that it's just an ordinary black fan who chose to shoot because of a dispute!"

"The should all get out of New York, they're the source of crime!"

Many celebrity fans in the front row of the sidelines also felt panicked, and no one would remain calm in the face of death threats.

In a crowded, four-sided crowd, if someone did shoot at gunpoint, every fan could become a bloody target.

But most of the high-quality celebrity fans still try to keep their minds sed, and try not to cause a stampede after the riot in the face of a large influx of security and police.

After all, it is relatively easy to go through the security check of secretly holding a gun outside Madison Square Garden, but it is much more difficult to enter the arena with a gun.

Compared with the relatively stable order in the stadium, there will be much more riots in the square outside the stadium.

The suspect with the gun has fled quickly, and a large number of security and police have also worked together to surround the Madison Square Garden, trying to maintain order in the riot and rescue and control the stampede.

But tonight's finals G3 is too hot in New York, with a ridiculously high density of more than 80,000 fans outside the stadium, and more than a dozen gunshots, which is enough to scare everyone.

Especially among these fans, more than two-thirds of them are foreign tourists, and they are naturally more sensitive and afraid of shootings.

After half an hour of processing by the police, the panic and commotion were finally brought under control, but except for the five or six people killed and injured in the shooting,

Because the commotion and stampede also caused dozens of injuries, they have been collectively sent to the hospital by ambulance for emergency treatment.

The originally frenzied atmosphere outside the stadium has become extremely messy and panicked at this time because of the tragic shooting.

Nearly half of the 80,000 fans evacuated Madison Square Garden and returned to their homes and hotels under the orderly evacuation of police personnel, and the original scene of the shooting was preserved and cordoned off.

But there are still many fans who are reluctant to leave the scene, hoping to watch the finals G3 outside the stadium.

The key is that this finals has always been suspended because of the sudden shooting, and it is still inconclusive whether the game can resume tonight until the end of the game.

After all, in the entire history of the NBA, there has never been such a horrific shooting outside the arena in the middle of a game.

Although the shooting incident is not necessarily directly related to the NBA game itself, it is also the result of a conflict caused by fans watching the game outside the court, so it must be seriously investigated.

At present, judging from the shooting marks and casualties at the scene of the crime, the possibility of a terrorist attack can basically be ruled out.

David Stern, who was at the league's headquarters a kilometer away, was also shocked and angry when he received the news of the Madison Square Garden shooting.

And Knicks boss James Dolan, who was sitting in the box on the top of the museum, was even more angry, scolding the security personnel and the New York State police for their ineffective work.

If this game is forced to be terminated due to an accidental shooting, then James Dolan will face a huge loss.

As the fleeing gunmen and the panic gradually dissipated, the fierce game had been suspended for more than half an hour, and the fans in the stadium also began to protest, calling for the game to resume as soon as possible.

"Now that it's safe, let's start this game quickly, I spent more than 10,000 US dollars on the ticket, if this game is not finished, I must return the money!"

"I heard outside that five people died, and dozens more were trampled and injured, oh my God, how can it be so serious?"

"I don't care how many people die, isn't there a daily shooting in New York? Isn't that normal? I paid to watch the game, so tonight the game will be over! ”

"Doesn't the NBA seem to have ever had a shooting homicide off the court in the middle of a game? It stands to reason that this game should continue to be played, otherwise it will only be half played, does this score count? ”

"It's okay not to play, since the Knicks are leading now, let's just declare the Knicks win!"

"No, the game must be finished, I'm still waiting for Lin's outbreak, I bought a ticket for a game, how can I only watch half the game?"

In front of the technical table on the sidelines, the staff and referees in charge of the game, as well as the head coaches of the two teams, are still negotiating, waiting for news from the police outside the field.

In front of the benches of the two teams, the players of the Knicks and Timberwolves also began to wait a little anxiously and bored.

"Can this game be played? I'm sleepy! ”

Eddie Curry couldn't help but yawn, looking like he hadn't slept well last night.

Born in the slums of New York City as a child, Stephen Marbury was so used to shootings and killings that the name Sin City had numbed him.

Lin Fei has also played in the NBA for 4 seasons in the United States, and as a country with free guns, he will naturally be too surprised by this kind of shooting and murder.

But Lin Fei is still worried, the person who was killed must be the Knicks and his fans, and it is indeed embarrassing to be innocently killed like this.

Lin Fei can only pray now, hoping that no fans of the Celestial Empire will have an accident, after all, according to relevant reports, there are not a few domestic die-hard fans who rushed to New York from the Celestial Empire for this NBA Finals.

"This shooting tragedy seems destined to give a different meaning to tonight's game!"

The 90 million Celestial Dynasty fans who were waiting in front of the TV were even more unclear about the specific reason why the game was suspended for so long, and they speculated:

"What the hell is going on? This game has been suspended for almost an hour, and it still hasn't been played? Could it be that something big is happening off the field? ”

"I've been watching the NBA for almost ten years, and I've never had such a long timeout, and the Auburn Hills Palace incident wasn't like this?"

"His meow's advertisement has been broadcast for more than half an hour, why hasn't he cut into the live broadcast room? If the game is not played, the commentators have to give a reason, right? ”

"I just got news from a friend in New York that there was a shooting tragedy outside Madison Square Garden, and I heard that several people had died, and the gunmen had absconded!"

This post first appeared on the sports forum platform of New Wolf, which immediately attracted tens of thousands of fans to reply and spread it.

"What? A shooting outside the arena? No way? In a city as big as New York, if you say you kill someone, you kill someone? Or is it the all-meter No. 1 arena in front of the public? ”

"Fortunately, I was born in China, a country like the United States with free guns, TMD is really too dangerous! You can get a headshot at any time when you walk on the road! ”

"There was a shooting outside the middle court in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, this gimmick is huge, could it be that Timberwolves fans are angry and shoot Knicks fans, right?"

"Can you be a little sympathetic upstairs? Don't forget that there are many compatriots from our Celestial Empire who went to Madison Square Garden in New York to watch the game this time! ”

"What's wrong with Lao Tzu being the rich hater? If you don't stay at home honestly and have the money to go to New York to watch the game, if something happens, it's completely self-inflicted! ”

"The United States is really nothing good, I don't understand why they want to go abroad to get a green card, if it weren't for the NBA, I wouldn't have a good impression of the United States at all!"

"Hurry up and start the game, the Knicks will win tonight!"

After pressure and discussion from many parties, the game was suspended for nearly an hour, and finally resumed.

Knicks (75) :(56) Timberwolves.

On the timer, the third quarter was fixed at 6 minutes and 12 seconds.

After the timeout, it was still the Timberwolves who served and attacked on the frontcourt sideline, and there were still 7 seconds left on the offensive time.

Garnett's big jumper after winning the ball in the high post missed, and Elovacundi's rebound was interfered with by Eddie Curry.

"Bang dang!"

"Smack!"

The defensive rebound was controlled by Eddie Curry, and Lin Fei quickly launched a counterattack after receiving the ball.

The game was suspended for nearly an hour, allowing the players of both teams to fully recover their physical strength, but at the same time, the feeling was also significantly cooler.

"Bang dang!"

Lin flew in to get rid of Gerald Wallace's stop-and-go three-point shot, and the basketball also popped out of the frame.

The two sides started a wave of nearly 2 minutes of iron fighting, and in the end, it was the "Wolf King" Garnett who was possessed by the god and forcibly broke through the basket and caused Eddie Curry's shooting hitter to foul.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Garnett, who walked to the free throw line, hit both free throws and led the Timberwolves to gradually regain their form in the Finals.

Manager of a tragic off-field shooting, the mentality of the players of both teams at this time is somewhat affected.

Lin Fei, who came to the front court, ran without the ball to receive Marbury's pass, and after facing Gerard Wallace's defense, he forced a shot against the opponent and threw a three-point shot with a crooked body.

"Huh!"

"Beep!"

The basketball stumbled into the net, followed by the referee's whistle.

3+1。

Gerard Wallace, who lost his wife and lost his soldiers, also shook his head helplessly, this was the fourth foul he had on Lin Fei tonight.

The atmosphere at Madison Square Garden also became frenetic again, with New York fans shouting "MVP" and sending Lin Fei to the free throw line.

"Huh!"

With Lin Fei's successful 4-point shot, the Knicks' lead also came to outside 20 points.

At the critical moment, Szebiak stepped up, and the three-pointer who caught the ball after the outside and Garnett covered it was a knife and hit a hollow shot.

"Huh!"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Fei's pass after being caught in the front court also made a mistake, and Eddie Curry in the low post failed to catch it, and the ball was directly stolen by Garnett.

"Smack!"

The Timberwolves countered with a fast break, Carlos Arroyo rode the dust, and the European stepped away from Marbury to score a layup.

"Huh!"

The Timberwolves played a 5-0 mini-climax to chase the difference back to 16 points.

However, Lin Fei quickly stabilized the situation after returning to the offensive end, and after breaking through the basket with a block, he attracted Ariza in the bottom corner of the ball, and the latter received the ball and hit the ball again with three points.

"Huh!"

Ariza made 4 of 6 open three-pointers tonight, changing his usual image of Tiezha and playing an extremely efficient performance.

After the entire third quarter, Lin Fei delivered 7 assists in a single quarter, leading the Knicks team to continue to play the craze of all soldiers, and was not affected by the off-court shooting tragedy.

The teammates played well, and Lin Fei was naturally happy to send a few more adult beauties, and after 16 assists in the third quarter, he had already broken the record for the number of assists in the individual finals in advance.

The Timberwolves are still active in defense and rebounding, but it is difficult to limit the play of Knicks role players when they are always strictly defending Lin Fei.

Just in time for Marbury, Eddie Curry, David Lee, Ariza and Nate Robinson and Quentin Richardson on the bench all played well tonight.

This has led to the dilemma that the Timberwolves will inevitably fall behind and be unable to catch up.

"The Knicks are in too hot form tonight, the team's overall shooting rate is more than 50%, and the certainty of the vacancy is close to 70%, even if the Timberwolves have the advantage, it will be difficult to play!"

"It seems that their own basket is more comfortable to throw, the Timberwolves are now 17 points behind the Knicks, and if they want to complete the reversal in the final quarter, there is still a chance, but it is very difficult!"

"But the NBA will never lack miracles, and even more so in the Finals, G1 Lin led the Knicks to a 21-point comeback in the final quarter at the Target Center Arena, will Kevin Garnett lead the Timberwolves to fight back tonight? Let's wait and see! ”

After the start of the final quarter, the main Timberwolves did not have time to rest for another minute, and Garnett, Gerard Wallace, Ray Allen and others all came on the court, aiming to make the final sprint for the comeback.

On the Knicks' side, Isaiah Thomas still plans to let Lin Fei rest for about 2 minutes at the end of the quarter, after all, the team's lead is not small, and the initiative is still in hand.

But it was precisely because of Lin Fei's 2 minutes of rest off the court that the Timberwolves quickly blasted out a wave of scoring climaxes.

Especially Ray Allen, who was completely restricted by Lin Fei in the first three quarters and only scored 2 points, saw that Lin Fei's defense was lost in the last quarter, and he quickly broke out in the face of Quentin Richardson.

On the offensive end, he first hit a three-point shot after receiving the ball from a running position, and then hit the restricted area at a 45-degree angle in a breakaway.

"Huh!"

Ray Allen then made a steal on the defensive end and assisted Gerard Wallace for a dunk on the counter-attacking fast break.

"Boom!"

came up and scored 5 points, 1 assist and 1 steal in a row, Ray Allen fully demonstrated the responsibility and responsibility of the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves quickly chased the difference back to 11 points.

Knicks (90) :(79) Timberwolves.

The Celestial Empire commentary team in the stands on the second floor, Director Zhang also praised Ray Allen's defense in disguise, touting Lin Fei's defense.

"If you want to say who is the second leader of this Timberwolves team, after all, Ray Allen is more qualified, and he was not selected as an All-Star this season, mainly because he was traded in the middle of the season!"

"Six career All-Stars and two All-Star of the Seasons, two teams at a time, one team and three teams, although slightly inferior to the four quarterbacks, Ray Allen has always been the league's best scoring guard!"

"After joining the Timberwolves this season, Ray Allen gradually adapted to his role in the team, averaging around 20 points per game, shooting more than 40% from three-point range, and working the defensive end!"

"Although there was no chance to perform under Lin Fei's strict defense in the first three quarters tonight, once Lin Fei was not there, Ray Allen's scoring explosiveness was quickly displayed, this is the demeanor of a star!"

"It seems that Isaiah Thomas should also get Lin Fei back on the court as soon as possible, otherwise Ray Allen will really go crazy, and this game will be difficult to say!"

Many New York fans at home also ridiculed Ray Allen, mocking the other party and swiping a wave of data while Lin Fei was not there.

After the pause, with Lin Fei's re-appearance, Ray Allen really quickly lost fire, and the front court borrowed the cover to run after receiving the ball and making a strong three-point shot was also effectively interfered with by Lin Fei's pounce, and directly threw three non-sticks.

In the subsequent defense, Lin Fei also directly stole the ball that Garnett gave to Ray Allen, and assisted Marbury to run to the basket with a long pass in the counterattack fast break, and flew to the basket to score two more points.

"Huh!"

Marbury has scored 29 points, 6 assists and 2 steals, shooting 12-of-19, a team-high score tonight, and played a representative battle in the individual Finals.

And Lin Fei also contributed his 17th assist tonight, continuing to set a new record for the number of assists in a single game in the individual finals.

"The Knicks lived up to the enthusiastic support of the home fans tonight and played great team basketball!"

Although Lin's 23 points tonight are not much, his 17 assists are a new personal high in the Finals, and he is only 5 short of the record of 22 assists in a single game in the Finals set by "Magic" Johnson! ”

With a double-digit position, Kevin Garnett finally struggled to shoulder the burden of helping the team chase points at critical moments.

At this point, the wolf king is obviously a cut behind Nowitzki, who has the golden rooster independent trick.

Garnett's versatility on both ends of the floor and in his five stats is undeniable, and he is arguably the most versatile power forward in NBA history, better than Duncan and Malone, and better than Nowitzki and Barkley in blocks and defense.

But purely in terms of scoring ability on the offensive end and scoring grasp at critical moments, Garnett is not the top in the league.

The highest score in a single game in his career is only 47 points, and there is no 50+ in a game, which can show the lack of top-level scoring ability of the Wolf King.

Coupled with the fact that Ray Allen was limited by Lin Fei's defense, Gerald Wallace and Szebiak were only All-Star substitute-level players after all.

The Timberwolves have a very luxurious lineup, but they lack a super scorer like Lin Fei and Kobe, and it is difficult to lead the team to turn the tide at critical moments.

In the end, driven by Lin Fei's 28 points, 19 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, the Knicks played an efficient performance at home, defeating the Timberwolves 119-101 and rewriting the score of the finals to 2:1.

Under the leadership of Lin Fei's 19 assists in the game, the Knicks were in hot form, playing the monstrous momentum of Madison Square Garden, with 6 people scoring double-doubles, and Stephen Marbury got 31 points, 7 assists and 2 steals.

With a 2-1 lead, the next fourth game will still be played at Madison Square Garden, and Zach Randolph, who has been suspended for two games, will also return.

After the game, Lin Fei also learned from Qin Dongmei's mouth for the first time that in this off-court shooting tragedy, a 21-year-old female student of the Celestial Dynasty was unfortunately shot and died.

At the same time, in the mass stampede and riots, six Celestial Empire tourists were seriously injured and are being treated in a local hospital in New York, one of whom has died after resuscitation.

As a direct witness to the 611 Madison Square Garden shooting tragedy, and at the same time has the identity of the NBA's top celestial stars, Lin Fei naturally knows that the casualties of several compatriots can be said to be his loyal fans, and they all came to the off-court battle for him.

Reasonable, public and private, Lin Fei can't choose to stand by and watch this matter, he must find the greatest justice for the casualties of several compatriots and fans.
