NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble

Chapter 15 [15] Dayao's invitation to return to China for the 04 Olympics?
Qin Dongmei on the other end of the phone naturally knew that Lin Fei was joking. Tonight's Western Conference Finals G5 accident broke out, and the Lakers will definitely study and target them next time.
It is almost impossible for an undrafted pick to have such a bright performance.

But Qin Dongmei is still looking forward to Lin Fei's performance in G6 of the Western Conference Finals. Even if he scores another three-pointer, it would be good to make fewer mistakes on the defensive end.

After all, this is the Western Conference Finals where the bayonet is popular. As long as Lin Fei's G6 performance does not make his hips too stretched,

Did not give the fans the feeling of falling into the abyss after a short-lived flash in the pan, and got a certain amount of playing time,

Then Qin Dongmei can give Lin Fei some image packaging and public opinion hype during the offseason. I believe that besides the Timberwolves, there are definitely other teams in the league that will throw olive branches for Lin Fei.

After all, this is no longer the era of the four major centers, and guards with accurate three-point shooting will become more and more popular in the league.

In fact, from the perspective of Qin Dongmei's agent, the best result he hopes for is that the Timberwolves' journey this season will end in G6 of the Western Conference Finals.

As long as Lin Fei's G6 performance doesn't stretch, and the Timberwolves' loss has nothing to do with him, that's the perfect result.

Going forward in the playoffs, Lin Fei's physical disadvantages will be further highlighted. The shortcomings of good shooting but poor defense, unstable dribbling and poor defense will inevitably restrict the prospects of the offseason.

As a fan of Lin Fei in the CUBA Qingbei school team, Qin Dongmei knows Lin Fei very well, he respects Lin Fei's dream,

But it is also her manager's duty to strive for greater off-court interests for Lin Fei.

Of course, it was impossible for Qin Dongmei to express this idea, so she could only look forward to it in her heart.

Because Qin Dongmei knew that Lin Fei had his belief and obsession as a basketball player.

When a player steps onto the court, his only goal is to help his team win.

"Lin Fei, I believe you will be able to play G6 well, and my sister will work hard with you!"

After hanging up Qin Dongmei's phone, Lin Fei also noticed the change in Szebiak's expression in the driver's seat beside him.

When he joked on the phone that he wanted to go to New York and Miami next season, the smile on Szczerbiak's face obviously froze for a moment.

Patting Szebiak on the shoulder, Lin Fei smiled lightly and said:

"Wally, no matter which city or team I go to next season, you will always be my best friend!"

"The league will always be a business group where the weak prey on the strong. Loyalty is nothing but a joke in the NBA!"

"Only by making each other stronger can we truly gain the right to speak and control our own destiny as much as possible!"

Szczerbiak nodded approvingly and said, "Lin, what you said is absolutely right!"

"At the beginning, I scored 18.7 points and 4.3 rebounds in the third year of my rookie contract. I was also selected as a substitute for the Western Conference All-Star that year. It can be said that I am proud of myself!"

"The Timberwolves gave me a 6-year contract extension of 6300 million. I am still very satisfied, but my agent told me at the time that going to the Knicks, or the Bulls and Rockets may have better development!"

"Haha, Lin, speaking of it, I might almost have teamed up with your fellow villager Dayao!"

"The winter in Minnesota is really icy and snowy, but I still like it here. Now it seems that this may not be a wise choice!"

Szczerbiak didn't say anything that would affect the unity of the team, but Lin Fei, a time traveler, could see it clearly.

With the arrival of "Madman", Szczerbiak was forced to return to the bench to play the sixth man, and his average data per game has also shrunk significantly.

If the Timberwolves can't win the championship this season, Szerbiak may be traded by the team at any time.

"Wally, these are things that should be considered during the offseason. I believe that no matter where you go, you can play the same value as an All-Star!"

"Now our only goal is to do our best to win the damn Western Conference Finals G6 the day after tomorrow!"

Szczerbiak smiled: "Lin, thank you, I believe we will win the day after tomorrow!"

Lin Fei quickly called Dayao back.

As the No. 02 pick in [-], Dayao slapped those American media experts who were not optimistic about him in his second season in the NBA.
In the case of full attendance in 82 games in the regular season, Dayao averaged 17.5 points, 9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game, shooting 52.2%, and was selected to the third team of the season, second only to the Sharks and Ben Wallace in the center.

At the same time, the Rockets also entered the playoffs for the first time in the post-Olajuwon era, but they were swept by the powerful Lakers 4:1 in the first round.

After five games, Dayao, who participated in the playoffs for the first time, did not give up much in front of the league's top center O'Neal, scoring 15 points and 7.4 rebounds.
In this round of the series, O'Neal only averaged 17 points and 9 rebounds per game, and even the second game of the series was restricted by Dayao to only 7 points.

Of course, what really limits O'Neal is the league's latest rationalization of zone defense and the unique 3-second defense rule.

The phone was connected quickly, and Dayao's excited voice also came from the other end:

"Lin Fei, you are playing crazy tonight. You made 7 of 7 three-pointers in the final quarter. Kobe will have nothing to do with you!"

"I'm so sorry I didn't watch it live on TV, I couldn't believe it when I first heard the news!"

Dayao ended the season at the end of April and returned to Tianchao in early May.
Gather at the Imperial Workers' Stadium and the Olympic team of the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team to prepare for the Yadian Olympic Games in August.

Although this year's China 04 Olympic men's basketball lineup is not as good as the 08 golden generation four years later, it is equally strong.

Even if there is no overseas generalization due to the Basketball Association, and there is no young Sun Yue and Wang Shipeng,

But there are Bart, Du Feng, Li Nan, Liu Wei, Mo Ke and Zhu Fangyu who are at their peak,
As well as Zhang Jinsong and Guo Shiqiang who are not old, and the 17-year-old supernova A Lian.

What's more, Dayao was 24 years old during this period, and his body was relatively healthy as a whole. Dayao in the 08 Olympics was obviously fighting with injuries.

At this time, the coach of the Chinese men's basketball team is not Yunus,
It is "Silver Fox" Del Harris, who is far more famous than Jonas, the Lakers coach in the early days of the OK combination.

"Brother Yao, stop praising me. If I am proud of this, what will happen if I don't play well in the next match?"

"Haha, Lin Fei, your down-to-earth, stable and neither arrogant nor impatient personality is really likable!"

"I'm envious of you being able to play high-end games like the Western Conference Finals. The Rockets and I don't know how long we'll have to wait!"

Without thinking too much, Lin Fei blurted out:
"Don't worry about Brother Yao. This offseason, when the Rockets get McGrady out of the way, next season you Yao and McGrady team up and reach the Western Conference finals!"

Dayao on the other side of the computer was surprised: "Lin Fei, you also know that the Rockets are pursuing McGrady of the Magic?"

Lin Fei frowned slightly, and his expression became a little embarrassed. This inattention almost exposed his time-traveling identity!

"Brother Yao, I actually heard what my manager said, so I don't know the truth!"

Dayao on the other end of the phone sighed softly: "Actually, I feel that the current Rockets team is quite harmonious and united. If they want to trade for McGrady, they will probably send Francis away. I really feel a little bit reluctant!"

"Hey, don't talk about this!"

"Lin Fei, your performance in G5 of the Western Conference finals tonight is very popular in our Tianchao. The five sets replayed the game twice this afternoon!"

Lin Fei directly said, “Good guy,

Live broadcast once in the morning and rebroadcast twice in the afternoon. The sports channel really respected him. How many pre-arranged events did this offend?
"Lin Fei, I'm calling you, I still have something to ask you!"

"I wonder if you are interested in joining the national team and participating in the Men's Basketball Olympics in August?"

Lin Fei did not expect Dayao's sudden question.

The men's basketball competition in the Olympic Games has always been an important event of China. This year's 04 Athens men's basketball lineup has been selected since the beginning of the year.

Lin Fei was also on the reserve list at the time, but after all, the Chinese CBA guards have many talents.

Although Lin Fei was playing in the NBA, he basically had no playing time in the regular season, and he did not gain the trust of the men's basketball coaching staff at all.

So in the end, it was brushed down in the second election.

In March, the men's basketball roster of 3 and the three reserve spots had been decided, and Lin Fei was not among them.

"Brother Yao, the roster for the men's basketball team for the Olympics has already been decided, so why don't I go again? It's not appropriate to squeeze anyone out!"

"Besides, I just hit a good shot in half a quarter, are you not afraid that I will lose the chain next?"

Dayao at the other end said to himself: "Lin Fei, I know you well. You usually train hard and tenaciously, I can't even do this!"

"Your explosion today is definitely not entirely accidental. Joining the men's basketball national team, I believe you will definitely be able to contribute to the team!"

"If you have a brilliant performance in Yadian, it will be beneficial to your international popularity, as well as looking for a new NBA owner during the offseason, as well as negotiations on contract and salary!"

"I haven't told Harris' coaching staff about this matter yet, so I want to ask about your attitude first. If you're willing, I'll talk to him again. Brother Yao still has some face for this!"

What Dayao said was indeed very reasonable, but Lin Fei still wanted to think again.

"Okay Brother Yao, then I will think about it carefully and give you an answer as soon as possible!"

"Okay, that's it, it's already late in Minnesota, you go to bed early, I'll die! International calls are quite expensive!"

To be honest, Lin Fei really wanted to compete in this year's Yadian Olympics, and join hands with his teammates from Tianchao to win glory for the country.

After all, the playoffs are coming to an end.

Even if the Timberwolves reach the finals, Lin Fei can only play a maximum of 9 games this season, so he really can't earn too many free attribute points.

Although training can also get free attribute points, it is far from as much as playing high-level competitions.

As Dayao said,
If Lin Fei can really perform well in the Olympics, then Qin Dongmei will help him find the next NBA team and negotiate a contract during the offseason.
It's all very helpful.

After all, he was born and raised in the Celestial Dynasty, so Lin Fei's patriotic feelings are still very strong.

However, the basketball association in this period was indeed a bit too disgusting, and Lin Fei was quite lamented about the fact that it was almost impossible to return to China to play.

Szebiak beside him suddenly said: "Lin, it's great to be able to play in the Olympics. I also want to play for the United States, but it's a pity that I didn't get selected!"

Szebiak's hometown is in Spain. He was also born in Spain, but he grew up in the United States and has American nationality.

As soon as Szebiak said about the US team, Lin Fei suddenly rang.

The American Dream Team in 04 seemed to have no superstars at all. Except for Iverson and Duncan, most of them were rookies from the golden generation of 03.

It's no wonder that the original World American Dream Six was finally defeated by Argentine led by Ginobili, and only got No.3 humiliatingly.

With the rapid improvement of his personal strength, if Lin Fei joins the Tianchao men's basketball team and leads the team with Dayao to play this 04 Mi Guomeng VI, there may be some chances of winning.

If it were the U.S. luxury dream eighth team in 08, it would really have to be given for nothing.
