Isaiah Thomas opted to call the team's last long timeout in regulation time, and the tension filled every corner of the Target Center arena.

After the pause, the Knicks were still a small and big four lineup, and Lin Fei was responsible for serving on the sideline of the front court.

Gerrard stood on the sidelines and waved his arms, interfering with Lin Fei's serve, and the other four Timberwolves players were each marking.

After a series of complex arc top screens, Ariza took advantage of a screen by Randolph in the left free-throw line area to accelerate the cut into the box, and the misplaced Garnett quickly chased down to the basket.

And Randolph also hurriedly retreated, made another cover with David Lee, and quickly approached the direction of Lin Fei's serve.

On the Timberwolves' side, both Zerbyak and Ardae chased after Randolph as soon as possible, leaving David Lee at the top of the arc in the open area.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei's pass was just right, and while it was in the hands of David Lee, he quickly rushed sideways into the field and came to the midfield LOGO area to the outside.

David Lee hurriedly turned around and gave the ball back to Lin Fei.

In the face of Gerard Wallace and Atay's quick snatching of the bag, Lin Fei took advantage of Randolph's blocking and dismantling to change direction and accelerate the breakthrough.

"Whoosh!"

Atai's pressing action was obviously big, and he directly hit Lin Fei and almost made a mistake in dribbling.

However, Lin Fei also took advantage of the situation to hit the three-point line, and after throwing off the two, he rushed straight to the restricted area, watching Garnett guard the basket, and Artai and Gerrard behind him also pressed up.

Obviously, it means to catch turtles in the urn.

Lin Fei had no way to retreat, gave Ariza on the left side of the basket a look, changed direction with Kevin Garnett, jumped up on the right side, and faced Garnett, who raised his arms and did not jump easily.

After pulling the lever to the limit, a brilliant pass from behind hit the ground, and the ball was accurately delivered to Ariza behind Garnett.

Ariza roared as she received the ball, jumped up with both hands, and slammed into the basket.

Garnett's pupils dilated rapidly, and he couldn't imagine that Lin Fei could still pass such a mysterious ball.

Feeling the sound of the wind behind Ariza suddenly jumping up, Garnett knew that it would definitely be too late to roll over and block again.

"Whoosh!"

However, Artest, who quickly caught up in the middle, jumped up like a beast, and his big hands like steel and iron bones slapped down the basketball that Ariza was about to dunk into the basket.

"Bang dang!"

"Beep!"

Although the basketball was dunked, Atay's block this time also obviously hit Ariza's wrist, and the referee's whistle blew and punished Atay's shooting hitter for a foul.

Ariza, who fell to the ground, looked slightly pained, and Atai's block and impact were obviously stronger.

Looking down at Ariza who fell to the ground, Atai spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture: "Playing ball, it's normal to have some movements!" ”

Randolph came up and pushed Atai, and Lin Fei quickly stopped the black bear, and the two sides almost clashed again.

Atay, who has already received five fouls, is also on the verge of being sent off, but the game has reached the final moments, and the advantage is still on the side of the Timberwolves.

Ariza, who walked to the free throw line, rubbed his wrists, took a deep breath, and made a steady free throw.

"Bang dang!"

The first penalty was missed, and at the critical moment, Ariza, who was knocked down, did seem to be a little uncomfortable.

Lin Fei was the first to walk up and high-five Ariza, and at the same time patted the other party's shoulder to give encouragement.

There will always be moments of nervousness and underperformance when young players go through a major tournament at the level of the Finals, which is an integral part of any star's growing up.

"Huh!"

Thankfully, Ariza's second free throw was finally available, leaving the last hope for the Knicks' comeback.

Knicks (101) :(106) Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Garnett held the ball high and continued to drag time.

Garnett has six assists and only three turnovers tonight.

Therefore, when he held the ball in a high position, the players on the Knicks' side, including Lin Fei, no longer dared to easily wrap up.

Seeing that the 24-second offensive time was about to run out, Garnett made a decisive move in the high post, but in the case of overdraft in his body, coupled with Randolph's interference, the crosshairs were a little worse after all.

"Bang dang!"

The basketball hit the iron, everyone scrambled under the basket, and Artai grabbed the offensive rebound again, pushed aside Ariza, and tilted his body to shoot again.

Ariza couldn't stop his first slash, and as he saw that the basketball was about to fly to the basket, a slash in the stab jumped into the air, and his long arms swung out of the sheath like a sword in the sky.

"Smack!"

Who is it? It's Lin Fei!

Lin Fei's flying hat came with a strong momentum, and the basketball was directly slapped on Artest's face, which immediately made Atai's nose sour, and two lines of warm blood rushed out of his nostrils.

Atai, who landed on the ground, looked confused, covering his bloody nose, and his brain was buzzing.

The referee's whistle did not sound, and the basketball bounced to David Lee's hand this time, and the opponent quickly gave the ball to Lin Fei, who was about to turn over.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei, who gave away the big hat against the sky, kept speeding up his feet, stepped on the accelerator and rushed through the middle line, facing Gerard Wallace who was chasing closely behind him and Ray Allen, who overtook from the right corner,

An in+out change of direction during the march, a sudden stop and retreat after unloading the inertia, throwing off the distance from the defender, and jumping decisively about a meter outside the three-point line on the right side.

Lightning shot another one.

"Huh!"

The tenth.

The moment the basketball hollowed into the net, there was a wonderful splash, and the entire target center arena fell into silence again.

Lin Fei, who landed on the ground, always maintained the posture of shooting, and raised his eyebrows lightly in the face of Ray Allen, and responded lightly:

"Ray, this is what a three-point shot should look like!"

Ariza, who followed up, shook his fist and roared, turned around and shouted at Artest, who was covering his nose and catching up, giving a beautiful return:

"Playing ball, it's quite normal to have some movements!"

Artest resisted the urge to rush up and punch Ariza directly, covering his nose and looking up to see the time on the timer, and there was only 1 minute 02 seconds left in the final quarter.

Knicks (104) :(106) Timberwolves.

Hold on to this last minute, and the damn Finals will be completely over, and the championship will definitely belong to the Timberwolves.

But Artest still couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart, Lin Fei is still a human being?

“My God！ 55 points, Lin has scored 55 points tonight, and the Knicks have chased the difference back again! ”

"Chasing Ron Artest on the defensive end, and retreating three points away with a one-to-two sideways move on the offensive end, Lin really did everything in this round of the Finals, but can he defeat the entire Timberwolves team in the end?"

"But we can be sure that no matter who the ultimate champion is, Lin's performance in this round of the Finals is definitely the strongest single-round Finals performance in NBA history, and there is no one!"

In the stands on the second floor, Director Zhang's voice trembled with excitement at this time, and tears seemed to flash in his sunken eye sockets:

"Lin Fei has achieved a miracle that Jordan, Magic and Abdul-Jabbar have never done, and he is a well-deserved MVP in this round of the finals!"

"A Celestial Dynasty player is rushing forward on the court of the NBA Finals, and at this moment, Lin Fei's performance has surpassed basketball and sports itself, and the sick man of Dongya has completely stood up!"

On the side of the Celestial Empire, hundreds of millions of Celestial Empire fans couldn't help but burst into tears in front of the TV at this time, and the shock of this moment was incomparable.

"Woo woo, Pheasa is really carrying the team alone, if Marbury and Eddie Curry were both here now, the Knicks would have taken the lead!"

"Unconsciously, there are 10 more three-pointers, Lin Fei's three-pointers really have a kind of magic, especially chasing three points, which can always make people's hearts surge!"

"With a 2-point difference, isn't the opportunity coming? As long as you do a good job of defending this next time and don't let the Timberwolves score, you definitely have a chance to complete the lore! ”

"Lin Fei has been playing for 45 minutes tonight, woo woo, god-like existence, the Knicks will win!"

"We really can't ask Phinea to do more, no matter who the final champion is, Phineas is the only FMVP in my mind!"

Returning to the target center arena, the team doctor gave Artay a simple stop to the bleeding, and the Timberwolves came back from a timeout to serve on the frontcourt sideline.

In the final 1:02 of the timer, there was no longer a long timeout for both teams, and only a 20-second short timeout was left for each team.

After all, the Timberwolves' forward advantage still crushed the Knicks, the ball was still given to Kevin Garnett in the high post, and Ray Allen contained Lin Fei's defense on the outside.

Gerard Wallace and Artest also opened up space.

Garnett forced Zach Randolph in the face frame, faced David Lee under the basket, and his vigorous posture suddenly jumped, crushing David Lee in height, bounce, explosiveness and arm span.

"Whoosh!"

When the Wolf King soared to the high ground, his chest pressed directly against David Lee's face, and he grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it above his head, sending a violent slam dunk on the front.

"Boom!"

In the loud noise, Zach Randolph, who was chasing after him from behind, also slapped Kevin Garnett's chin with his big hand.

"Bang!"

Garnett, who was slapping David Lee, was stunned by Randolph's slap, blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, and he fell to the ground with his head tilted.

"Beep!"

Referee Dick Bavita blew the whistle quickly to signal Garnett's two-point dunk as Zach Randolph fouled the batter.

The tense atmosphere filled every corner of the court, and the Timberwolves fans in the audience on all sides jumped up from their seats, waving their fists, cheering and shouting for the "Wolf King".

On the high-definition four-sided screen above his head, the whole process of Garnett's frame breaking through David Lee is also constantly replayed, and the cap fan in Randolph's chase is also visible.

"OMG, Kevin is good, this dunk is too awesome, Timberwolves championship, Timberwolves championship!"

"Our wolf king has finally hardened again at the critical moment! In the last 45 seconds, the Timberwolves are only 45 seconds away from winning the second championship in team history! ”

"Kevin looked in pain when he fell to the ground, how much effort did this guy Zach Randolph use? This action should directly blow the second-level evil offender to expel him! ”

"Zach definitely went at people on purpose, Kevin won't be directly concussed by him, right?"

"The referee's blow penalty is obviously biased in favor of the Knicks, even if it is not given to a second-level evildoer, it is at least a first-degree evildoer!"

"The wolf king is good, the eternal spiritual totem of the timber wolf, isn't this bloody separation just now more shocking than Lin's super far?"

Many fans on and off the court are cheering, and Garnett's bravery and toughness shown by this dunk are the background color of the Timberwolves' tenacious struggle in the league.

Garnett, who fell to the ground, was dizzy, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his two front teeth were directly knocked off by Randolph's slap, mixed with blood and spit in the palm of the wolf king's hand.

The game was suspended, and the team doctor quickly trotted onto the court to check Garnett's injury.

At the same time, Randolph also received his sixth foul of the night and was directly ejected.

Randolph had a bit of a personal grudge just now, and it was not an exaggeration to give a malicious foul.

Seeing Randolph walking towards the players' tunnel, many Timberwolves fans around him also began to shout insults.

Isaiah Thomas has no choice but to switch to Quentin Richardson.

"With the departure of Zach Randolph, the Knicks' starting five tonight have been punished by three, and the intensity of the game can be seen!"

"With four points behind in the final 45 seconds and Kevin Garnett adding a free throw, the chances of Lin and the Knicks trying to reverse have become more and more slim!"

After a quick examination by the team doctor, Kevin Garnett showed signs of a slight concussion and was expected to be unable to play for the remainder of the game.

But Garnett gritted his teeth and got up from the ground and insisted on going to the free throw line.

At this moment, the target center arena became solemn, and nearly 20,000 fans in the audience on all sides stood up and chanted "MVP" for the wolf king.

"Bang dang!"

"Smack!"

The Wolves failed to hit the free throw this time, but the Timberwolves' interior advantage had become a crushing state, and Artai flew to grab the offensive rebound and quickly distributed it back to the outside Sizebiak.

This offensive rebound can be said to be more significant than hitting the free throw, and with just over 40 seconds left in the game, the Timberwolves once again have a chance to burn time.

Because in the rules of the NBA, after the offensive team grabs the offensive rebound, the offensive time is changed to 14 seconds, but if the offensive rebound is grabbed after the free throw is completed, the offensive time is still 24 seconds.

Atay's offensive rebound gave the Timberwolves 24 seconds of offensive time, and even if they couldn't score, as long as they could consume those 24 seconds smoothly, the game would only have the final 21 seconds left.

With a four-point lead, the Timberwolves can basically say that they have the win.

The Knicks ran out of time, and Ariza quickly rushed up to press the ball-carrying Zerbiak, who distributed the ball to Garnett at the top of the arc.

Lin Fei also chose to let go of Ray Allen at this time, and quickly rushed up to force Garnett's basketball.

"Whoosh!"

Garnett passed the ball to Gerald Wallace, who came up to pick it up, but the ball was not passed well and was touched by the quick-eyed Lin Fei.

Garnett, who was already a little dazed, gritted his teeth and didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and when he saw the basketball jumping from his side, he flew directly and pounced, fighting for the ball with Lin Fei.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Lin Fei also felt the infinite desire for the championship in Garnett's body.

Although Garnett's trash-talking behavior to Marbury tonight was a bit excessive, it is undeniable that Garnett has always been a rare superstar in the NBA.

Under Garnett's fish-like save, the basketball flew to the hands of Szebiak on the outside again,

Szebiak made a long diagonal stab, and the ball flew quickly to Ray Allen from outside the three-point line at a 30-degree angle on the right.

Ray Allen was completely in the big open space at this time, flying up and jumping mercilessly, and the three-point shot was decisive.

At the moment when Ray Allen made a three-point shot, the hearts of the players on and off the court of the Knicks instantly cooled by half.

"Bang dang!"

However, Ray Allen's three-point shot missed the iron, and the long rebound just bounced in front of Lin Fei in the middle.

At this time, the time on the timer has reached the last 20 seconds of the last quarter.

Lin Fei thought that after getting this rebound, he quickly turned over and went down, and if he could hit a long-range shot, the Knicks could chase the difference back to only 1 point left, and there was still a chance.

However......

"Smack!"

Gerald Wallace, who rushed out halfway, was desperate and grabbed the offensive rebound again before Lin Fei.

Gerard Wallace's offensive rebound can be said to have sentenced the Knicks to death in advance.

Lin Fei felt that this was a joke that God was playing on him, this rebound was clearly close at hand, but why couldn't he grab it?

Just when Lin Fei wanted to fly up and grab the rebound first, he always felt that there was a force restraining him.

The attribute of rebounding is 0, after all, it still makes Lin Fei pay a huge price, this feeling of powerlessness, Lin Fei has had many times in previous games, which is also the biggest reason why his rebounding data is always bad.

But this time tonight,

Just this time,

But it is destined to make Lin Fei unforgettable for life.

Gerard Wallace, who grabbed the offensive rebound again, avoided Lin Fei's forward rush and returned the ball to Szebiak on the outside.

Ariza, who flew up from the point of Zerbiak, took another step from beyond the three-point line.

"Bang dang!"

The basketball still missed, but this time the offensive rebound was snatched by Kevin Garnett.

"Smack!"

The Knicks, who were originally inferior to the Timberwolves in terms of interior strength, were completely blown up by the Timberwolves at the last moment when Eddie Curry and Zach Randolph were sent off.

By the time Garnett grabbed the rebound, there was only 0 minutes and 13 seconds left on the timer.

The offensive time overlapped in the final time of the final quarter, and the Knicks and Lin Fei had no way back.

"Oh my God, absolutely no one would have thought that the final moment of the finals tie-break would be such a drama? In the last 45 seconds of the final quarter, the Timberwolves have grabbed three offensive rebounds in a row, starting with Kevin Garnett's free throws! ”

The time on the timer passed minute by minute, and soon it was 12 seconds, 11 seconds, 10 seconds......

Lin Fei could only quickly rush up and make a tactical foul to Kevin Garnett, but it didn't mean much.

At the same time, this is also the fifth foul that Lin Fei has received tonight.

"Huh!"

Garnett, who walked to the free-throw line, enjoyed the cheers from the sky and hit the first free throw safely.

Knicks (104) :(109) Timberwolves.

"The Wolf King" has a scorching fire burning in his eyes as he is just 10 seconds away from winning his second career championship.

"Bang dang!"

Garnett missed the second free throw, grabbed a basket, and the offensive rebound was again picked up by Artest.

"Smack!"

For the Knicks and Lin Fei, this must have been a desperate moment.

was robbed of four offensive rebounds by the opponent in a row......

This finals tie-break battle is destined to become an extraordinary memory in the hearts of fans of both teams.

Young David Lee was also a little annoyed, only to feel a hot pain on his face, the face of the Knicks inside group, tonight this is completely lost to the world.

"Beep!"

In the impatient scramble, David Lee also knocked down Artest, who had the ball in hand, and the referee did not turn a blind eye to the obvious foul in the last minute, and the piercing whistle sounded again.

Holding the basketball, Atai roared angrily in the sky and bumped his chest with the wolf king who rushed up to celebrate.

Some Knicks star fans in the front row on the sidelines also hid their faces with their hands at this time, completely helpless.

Lin Fei, who was physically exhausted, also sat on the floor of the court, leaving a lonely and helpless back.

Lin Fei never imagined that the flaws in basketball attributes would be infinitely magnified in the last 10 seconds of the finals and will be remembered forever by hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

But this is basketball, this is competitive sports, and uncertainty is always with us.

The Target Center arena was in the most frenzied boiling, and the Timberwolves bench players in the front row on the sidelines had already begun to hug and celebrate.

Head coach McHale's eyes lit up as he high-fived several assistant coaches one by one.

After three years, the Timberwolves are finally going to stand at the top of the NBA again.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Artest, who walked to the free throw line, was still very stable, hitting both free throws, completely killing the Knicks' chance to reverse the game.

Knicks (104) :(111) Timberwolves.

With a difference of 7 minutes, there are only 5.2 seconds left on the timer.

There has never been a miracle in the history of the NBA that can turn over seven points or tie in the last five seconds, and there may be in the future, but it will hardly be tonight.

The Knicks had one last 20-second timeout, but Isaiah Thomas felt there was no need to scream anymore.

Away team locker room.

The room had been smashed by Marbury, Eddie Curry, and Randolph, but the three of them were sitting on the couch in a daze, looking wooden and sluggish in front of the live game on the TV.

The Timberwolves pressed the ball all over the court, and the ball was passed to Ariza with difficulty, while Lin Fei was surrounded by Gerard Wallace and Atay.

Lin Fei no longer had the strength to run, he bent over his hands on his knees, raised his head with sweat on his face, and suddenly smiled at Artest and Gerard Wallace, and said lightly:

"This time you won! I can't run! ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Fei moved like a rabbit, and he didn't know where the power came from, so he suddenly rushed out of the encirclement of the two of them, and rushed straight to the front.

"Whoosh!"

Ariza bumped into Ray Allen and threw the basketball in his hand into the court.

Lin Fei just received the flying basketball after stepping on the LOGO of the middle circle, facing the basket 12 meters away, and the eye-catching time on the timer to the last second,

The fighting spirit in his eyes was still burning, and he threw the basketball in his hand with great effort as a horse archery.

"Champion, see you next year!"

……

Flowers and streamers fluttered over the center of the target, and 6,000 colorful balloons were released outside the arena, and the embarrassing history of the Lakers never repeated.

Joy swept across Minneapolis, and tonight, the city will be sleepless.

The championship flag of the 03-04 season on the top of the pavilion will no longer be alone, and the Timberwolves, who were founded in 1989, have already won their second championship in just 18 seasons in team history.

In NBA history, the Timberwolves' two championships have equaled the likes of the Spurs, Knicks, Heat and Pistons, behind the Celtics (16), Lakers (14), Bulls (6), Warriors (3) and Philadelphia 76ers (3).

On the makeshift podium in the center of the court, the Timberwolves players wore championship baseball caps and T-shirts, and Kevin Garnett, who stood in the center, enjoyed the cheers of the audience as he received the O'Brien Cup from David Stern.

The 11 judges are quickly voting for the Finals MVP, although the Timberwolves won the championship, Kevin Garnett's average of 27 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks per game in seven games is even more comprehensive.

But any judge, even if he is not a fan of Lin Fei, can't turn a blind eye to the 67% shooting rate, which averages 49 points, 13 assists and 4 steals per game.

63 points, 71 points, 58 points, 19 assists......

No one ever believed that these numbers would appear in the NBA Finals, where bayonets were in full swing, until Lin Fei appeared.

Five minutes later, Lin Fei, who had returned to the away team's locker room early, was invited back to the sidelines by the staff again.

David Stern motioned for the audience to be quiet, then shouted into the microphone in his hand:

"The Most Valuable Player of the 2006-07 NBA Finals is: Lin Fei!"

Qin Dongmei and Mildew, who were standing on the sidelines, covered their faces and cried with joy, and Old Man Jerry West took the initiative to applaud Lin Fei. (End of chapter)
