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

Chapter 43 [43] Break the record, champion of the Western Conference!
"Zen Master" looked dignified and said nothing. It didn't matter whether Lin Fei scored points during the garbage time. After all, he was a serious rookie who failed the draft.

With a 3:1 lead, they were eliminated by the Timberwolves in three consecutive rounds. The F4 Lakers led by him will inevitably be nailed to the shame of the Western Conference Finals.

Originally, "Zen Master" planned to make a dirty trick in the second half, letting rookie Luke Walton step on and hurt Lin Fei.

But the Timberwolves completely relied on the main lineup to defeat the Lakers in the second half, and Lin Fei was just icing on the cake in the final quarter.

This last trick of the "Zen Master" has no choice but to give up.

The game is irretrievable, and the "Zen Master" has set his sights on the offseason. This Lakers team is bound to undergo reconstruction and major changes, and Kobe and O'Neal must leave alone.

The bench of the Lakers was silent, and it was indeed too embarrassing to be overturned 1:3, but this is the NBA and sports,

No one wins all the time, and no one loses all the time.

Kobe's eyes were sharp, and he clenched his fists tightly. He will not forget the humiliation of this round of the Western Conference Finals. Next season, he must lead the team to make a comeback and avenge the Timberwolves.

On the other hand, O'Neal is in a more relaxed state. This should be his last game with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Sharks have already begun to look forward to their new club next season.

On the Timberwolves' bench, the atmosphere was much more cheerful. The wolf king and "Madman" had a playful smile, and Szczerbiak and Kassel chatted happily.

Head coach Philip Sanders also had a relaxed exchange with several assistant coaches, and his eyes seemed to have been set on the Finals and the Detroit Pistons.

In the luxury box on the roof of the pavilion, the boss Glenn Taylor and the general manager Kevin McHale were all smiling. It was really not easy for the Western Conference champion to win.

Seeing that Lin Fei had hit 9 three-pointers in this game, but still stayed on the court at the last moment, McHale shook his head and sighed softly.

The old guy Philip Sanders has absolute true love for this rookie in China!
After tonight's tiebreaker, Lin Fei looked down on the three-year $3 million contract offered by the Timberwolves. Maybe other teams will offer higher prices one after another.

On the court, the game quickly reached the last 2 minutes.

The Lakers teenager Karim Rush was obviously on top, and couldn't help but shoot a three-pointer with Lin Feibiao, but he hit the iron again.

"Bang!"

The rebound was taken by Timberwolves substitute center Johnson Sr. Hoiberg caught the ball and counterattacked. Fisher gritted his teeth and chased after Lin Fei.

Although the team's defeat has been decided, Lao Yu absolutely cannot tolerate Lin Fei scoring another three-pointer, otherwise he will be the tenth.

The Timberwolves fans at home were full of enthusiasm, shouting Lin Fei's name, looking forward to the tenth three-pointer.

Philip Sanders also had a smile on his face. He left Lin Fei on the court just to push the boat, hoping that he could break the personal record of three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs.

The eyes of Mike Breen in front of the commentary were full of enthusiasm. Although the suspense of the game was gone, the game with Lin Fei was still exciting:

"Lin has hit 9 three-pointers, tying Rex Chapman and Vince Carter, and sharing the record for the number of three-pointers made in a single game in the history of the NBA playoffs!"

"As long as he hits another three-pointer, he can break this record. Will a miracle happen tonight? Let us wait and see!"

Amidst the high-pitched commentary, Lin Fei ran into the penalty area without the ball, borrowed the continuous cover of the old Johnson and Mark Madsen, accelerated to run back to the top of the arc, and continued to expand outward after passing the three-point line, rushing directly towards the logo in the middle circle.

"Whoosh!"

Fisher followed slightly slower, and the traditional subconscious still believed that this was beyond the attack range of a normal shooter.

Lin Fei suddenly waved to Hoiberg for the ball, caught the ball on the edge of the LOGO area and turned around, facing Fisher who rushed up two meters away,

Take off quickly at a position 12 meters away from the basket, bend your bow and set an arrow, and shoot another one.

The basketball flew over Fisher's fingertips and roared toward the basket.

When Lin Fei was training off the court, his shooting percentage of three-pointers over 12 meters was only about 60%.

But he felt hot tonight, and the more he shot, the more accurate he was, so he was confident that he would take the initiative to send a super long three-pointer at the last moment of the game.

After all, the team's victory has already been decided, and I believe the head coach will not blame anything for the last moment.

The moment the ball was released, Lin Fei knew it was there.

"Shh!"

The tenth.

The Target Center Arena was once again boiling, and Philip Sanders also called a timeout with satisfaction, replacing Lin Fei with Gary Trent, and applauding Lin Fei who came off the court:

"Lin, good job!"

Lin Fei and his teammates on the bench clapped hands one by one, and then waved to the fans in the auditorium.

Cheers and screams came and went, and many Timberwolves fans got up from their seats to applaud Lin Fei.

Lin Fei played 20 minutes tonight, made 11 of 10 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 33 points efficiently, but the four statistics of assists, rebounds, steals and blocks were all zero.

33 points is also the highest score of the players of the two teams in this game tonight, and the Wolf King's data is 30 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Compared with the all-round wolf king, Lin Fei's performance can be said to be extremely biased, but his positive and negative values ​​are still the highest in the team.

5 three-pointers in G7 of the Western Conference Finals, 6 three-pointers in G8 of the Western Conference Finals, plus 10 three-pointers in the tiebreaker tonight,
Lin Fei's fresh move really made it popular all over the world, and became the most unforgettable flashy explosion for fans in this round of classic western finals.

Although 10 of the 4 three-pointers tonight were made in garbage time, Lin Fei was originally a substitute, and it was his task to score on the court.

Besides, after the whole game, Lin Fei only played 20 minutes in total, and he scored 10 three-pointers with super high efficiency.

For this, Lin Fei is very grateful to head coach Philip Saunders.

The record-breaking 10 three-pointers in a single game further consolidated Lin Fei's worth, and it was even easier to find a new club during the offseason.

Celestial Dynasty.

In the five live broadcast rooms.

Director Zhang and Yang Jian played Lin Fei for the whole game, but he was still full of energy, and the more he played, the more addicted he became.

"Lin Fei really played really well. After these three games in the Western Conference finals, each game is better than the other game, and he scored more points in each game!"

"Tonight's 10 three-pointers in a single game directly broke the record for the number of three-pointers made in a single game in the NBA playoffs. The significance is too far-reaching!"

"It seems that Lin Fei made the right choice without signing 3 million yuan for three years to stay in the Timberwolves. He will definitely become a dark horse in the free agent market this offseason!"

"Director Zhang, what do you think about Lin Fei's ability to shoot three-pointers but his poor performance on the defensive end?"

"Lin Fei's three-pointers are not generally accurate. After three games, he hit 25 three-pointers in total, and only missed two shots. One of them was a shot at the buzzer 20 meters away!"

"This true shooting percentage can be said to have exceeded 130%, which is too terrifying. Looking at the entire history of the NBA, it is unprecedented. It must be difficult for future comers!"

"So even if the role of the defensive end is 0, Philip Sanders still dares to deploy Lin Fei at the critical moment, because Lin Fei's offense has completely covered up his defense!"

"Although it is impossible for these three points to be so accurate all the time, Lin Fei's three games are also due to luck."

"But fans who understand the ball can see that Lin Fei's series of movements in the frontcourt running, counterattacking quickly, using screens to get rid of, catching and shooting, and jumping and shooting,"

"They have all reached the textbook level of the NBA!"

"Lin Fei's catching and shooting posture is very standard, and if you carefully watch the replays of his three games, you can find that his shots can be freely switched between bump shots and jump shots according to the defensive situation, ensuring the smoothness and hit rate of shots to the greatest extent!"

"Being able to master the three-point shooting skills so skillfully is absolutely inseparable from Lin Fei's unremitting hard training over the years!"

"And there's some kind of shooting talent in there too!"

Director Zhang analyzed it from a professional point of view, and when it came to the emotional part, he couldn't help but sigh:

"There is Dayao on the inside, and Lin Fei on the outside. Our Tianchao men's basketball team is finally about to fully rise!"

This tie-break match was unprecedentedly popular among Chinese fans. In the NBA text live broadcast room of Xinwolves and Sohu, the fans' message posts were also full of hype:
"A big victory close to 30 points. The Timberwolves played really well tonight. In this state, the Detroit Pistons will definitely not be able to last 6 games in the Finals!"

"Philo made 10 three-pointers and blasted a game-high 33 points. It's too fucking strong. Hamilton has already started to panic!"

"7 in the fifth game, 8 in the sixth game, and 10 in the seventh game, my mother, who else would dare to say that Brother Fei's three-pointer is due to luck? I will definitely not kill him when I come out!"

"There are still people who say that Lin Fei scored points in the last quarter. It's funny. Is there a problem with a rookie who loses the draft and plays in garbage time?"

"Brothers, I watched the game late, this Timberwolves No. 22, should it be the trapeze you often talk about?"

"It's cool, it's cool to see Kobe lose, it's time! This season is broken, the Lakers should fall apart, right? O'Neal and Kobe must go!"

"I sincerely hope that Lin Fei can go to the Rockets next season. I heard that the Rockets are pursuing Tracy McGrady. If it succeeds, then in the new season, Yao McGrady will team up with Lin Fei, and the Rockets may win the championship!"

Looking back at the Target Center arena, as Joey Crawford blew the whistle at the end of the game, there were harsh beeps in front of the technical stage, and the steel backboard was lit with red lights.

At the end of the game, the Timberwolves beat the Lakers at home. The total score of the Western Conference Finals series was reversed 4:3. The team reached the Finals for the first time in team history and joined forces with the Detroit Pistons.

Flowers and ribbons fluttered from the roof of the stadium, Timberwolves players smiled and hugged each other, and some excited fans also shed tears.

"Oh my God, it's unbelievable. It's like a dream. We actually eliminated the Lakers!"

"Thank you Lin, he is the God of this round of the Western Conference Finals!"
