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

Chapter 44 [44] Finals, here we come!

There was no too much celebration and shouting, because everyone knew in their hearts that the team's journey was not over yet, the Western Conference championship was just the beginning, and the finals were the final battle.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for hitting 10 three-pointers in the tiebreaker, helping the team win the Western Conference finals, eliminating the Lakers and reaching the finals, free attribute points +120]

[Ding, there is an additional reward for the host's anti-injury card, which can be used in a single round of the series]

[After the armed anti-injury card, any player on the other side intends to harm the host in this round of the series, including but not limited to malicious collisions, footsteps, throat locks, crotch thrusts, elbow strikes... the damage value is 100% rebound]

Listening to the system's notification tone, Lin Fei's eyes flashed. This anti-injury card is a good thing, and it just happened to be used in the finals.

His current physical fitness can only be said to be average. In the finals against the tough defensive guys of the Pistons, there is a risk of injury if he fails to keep up.

Now with this system's anti-injury card, Lin Fei can play in the finals without any worries.

If the "bad boys" of the Pistons or head coach Larry Brown really want to abolish him secretly, then they can only blame these people for asking for trouble.

friendship first, competition later.

The Lakers players also maintained a gentlemanly demeanor. Kobe O'Neal and others took the initiative to hug and shake hands with the Timberwolves players one by one, sending congratulations and a letter of challenge for next season.

"Kevin, you played great. I hope you guys can beat the Pistons and get the damn championship. After all, I already have three of these things. I'll let you guys do it once this year!"

O'Neill smiled and came up to hug the wolf king, and he didn't forget to put on a wave, shaking the three championship rings in his hand in front of Garnett.

The wolf king smiled happily, and didn't feel that O'Neal was pretending. After all, after Jordan retired, O'Neal is well-deserved No. 1 in the current league, three champions + 3FMVP + 1MVP, he has the capital to pretend.

"Shaquille, it is an honor for me and the team to beat you with my own hands. One day, I will have more championship rings than you!"

Speaking of this, Garnett leaned close to O'Neal's ear, covered his mouth and whispered: "Where are you going to go next season? East is good, then we will fight again in the Finals!"

O'Neill raised his eyebrows and whispered, "This is a secret!"

The contradiction of the OK combination is no secret, and the news that the owner of the Lakers is unwilling to offer a maximum salary to the 32-year-old O'Neal was previously revealed, and the team is more willing to rebuild the team around the young Kobe.

Throughout this round of the Western Conference Finals, Kobe's overall performance is indeed better than that of the Sharks.

There are indications that it is inevitable for O'Neal to leave the Lakers.

Kobe first chatted with the "madman". The two old and new shooting guards didn't know each other, and they admired each other.

Then Kobe took the initiative to find Lin Fei, hugged him with a smile, leaned into Lin Fei's ear and whispered:
"Lin, I'll always remember those damn three-pointers of yours!"

"Leave a call. If you want to come to the Lakers during the offseason, the team and I will open the door for you!"

Lin Fei also covered his mouth with his jersey and responded with a smile, but did not express his position directly:
"Corvo, Los Angeles is indeed a good city, everything is possible!"

"But my journey with the Timberwolves this season is still going on, and everything will have to be considered after the finals!"

Naturally, Lin Fei had no interest in joining the Lakers, and being Kobe's younger brother was not a good feeling.

"Okay, Lin, I'll wait for your news!"

The two exchanged phone numbers, and Bryant then made a beeline for the player tunnel.

"Zen Master" and Philip Sanders also shook hands, and the sunken eye sockets behind the glasses glowed with arrogance:

"Sanders, I'm really envious that you have a player like Lin on the bench. This round of the Western Conference Finals is destined to be unforgettable for me!"

"Haha, brother Phil, it is my honor to lead the team to defeat you and the Lakers!"

The players on the losing side left the field quickly, and the Timberwolves players also put on the baseball caps of the Western Conference champions, and with the coaching staff, staff and the boss general manager,
There are also many relatives and family members who came to the scene, walked to the center of the court together,
Waiting for the league vice president Adam joke to present the western championship trophy.

Szczerbiak hugged his two little daughters, and his wife Shannon Ward beside him was sexy and glamorous. After kissing her husband, she turned around and gave Lin Fei a generous hug.

"Lin, you played so well tonight, there would be no Western Championship without you!"

"Haha, Xiang Nong, drop it quietly, be careful that Wally will be jealous!"

The staff quickly moved the Western Championship trophy (Oscar Robertson Cup) to the temporary stand. Adam Joke raised his glasses and spoke loudly into the microphone:
"This is a wonderful round of the Western Conference Finals. The Timberwolves became the first team in the history of the Western Conference Finals to come back from a 1-3 deficit. This is destined to be recorded in the glorious history of the NBA!"

"The NBA will never lack miracles!"

"Thanks to the Los Angeles Lakers, they are gloriously defeated!"

"Next, let us give the warmest applause to the 2003-04 NBA Western Conference champion: Minnesota Timberwolves!"

None of the home fans in the auditorium left early, cheers and screams broke through the roof of the stadium.

On the square outside the Target Center arena, more than 2 Timberwolves fans were equally excited, clenched their fists and were extremely excited.

Surrounded by the players, Adam Joke handed over the Western Conference championship trophy to Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor for the first time.
Glenn Taylor smiled and held up the trophy before handing it to Kevin Garnett beside him.

The Wolf King raised the trophy high with one hand, beat his chest with the other and roared, shouting to the fans in the auditorium: "We are the champions!"

The cheers and screams became louder. The Timberwolves, who had only 14 seasons as a team, finally rose rapidly and stepped onto the highest stage of the NBA Finals.

ESPN's beauty reporter Erin Andrews has interviewed owner Glenn Taylor and team leader Kevin Garnett.

The Western Conference Championship trophy was passed on in the hands of every Timberwolves player. Lin Fei was not too excited when he picked up the Western Conference Championship Trophy, but he was still very happy.

The Timberwolves are not Lin Fei's team. To Lin Fei, the meaning of the Western Conference championship is actually not as real as the 10 three-pointers he hit tonight.

After interviewing the Wolf King and the "Madman", Erin Andrews finally found Lin Fei among the Timberwolves players, and walked up to greet her old friend with a smile:

"Lin, as the team's scoring leader tonight, you helped the Timberwolves win the Western Conference championship trophy. What feelings do you have in your heart at this moment to share with the fans?"

Lin Fei leaned closer to the microphone, and just about to speak, there was another round of loud cheers and applause from the fans.

The wolf king beside him also took the Timberwolves teammates to applaud Lin Fei.

Lin Fei showed a sincere smile on his face. After the cheers on the scene subsided, he spoke loudly into the microphone:
"Finals, here we come!"
