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

Chapter 5 [5] Can't the defense not hit the free throw?Lin Fei scored another three-pointer!
Driven by Lin Fei's three consecutive three-pointers, the Target Center Arena was completely boiling.

Timberwolves (82): (86) Lakers.

"Zen Master" finally couldn't sit still this time, so he quickly got up and blew his whistle, calling out a long timeout to the referee.

The sudden runaway of Lin Fei, an undrafted Asian, completely disrupted the offensive and defensive deployment of the Lakers.

When a player hits 2 three-pointers in a row in less than 3 minutes, and also has a super difficult running position to catch the ball elegantly 3+1,

Even if he is unknown, the opponent must regard him as the focus of defense.

"Derek, next you have to give me a strict eye on No. 22 of the Timberwolves. You must not let him have another chance to easily catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer!"

"Zen Master" looked solemn, and turned to look at Karl Malong:

"Carl, you take a few minutes off the court and let Devin George play. The Timberwolves are mainly three-shooters from the outside, and these three guys' shooting percentages are not low tonight!"

"So we must match enough perimeter defensive strength!"

"Gary Payton, you go after Floyd and give Wally Szerbiak to Devin George!"

"Bryant, you continue to entangle with 'Madman', your defense is more trustworthy than your offense!"

In terms of the Lakers' perimeter defense today, Kobe is definitely the best.

After all, the Black Mamba has been selected to the best defensive team for 00 consecutive years since 5, and 4 of them were first defenses.

But "Zen Master" would not be so stupid as to ask Kobe to switch Lin Fei,
In this way, even if the score of a role player is cut off, it will make "Madman" Sprewell explode directly.

Except for Kobe, the Lakers can't restrict the "madman" now, but even Kobe allowed the "madman" to get 50+ with a shooting rate of more than 20% tonight.

Ma Long was obviously dissatisfied with the arrangement of "Zen Master", and pushed him to the bench at the critical moment, but he had no choice but to blame Lin Fei for his anger.

"Where did this Celestial boy come from? Damn, how can three-pointers be so accurate!"

O'Neill was a little disapproving, and said lazily:

"I don't believe this kid can go all the way! A role player is a role player after all, and he can't make waves!"

Kobe Bryant also looked at No. 22 Lin Fei in front of the Timberwolves bench with cold eyes, the flames of war in his eyes were burning wildly:

"The outcome of the game will definitely not be controlled by a little-known kid from China. Tonight we will definitely win the Timberwolves and reach the final!"

Veteran fisherman Derek Fisher sees it differently,
Just now when he chased Lin Fei's elegant three-point catch from the closest distance and was scored 3+1 by the opponent, the horror in his heart was indescribable.

Sharp running position, decisive catch and shot, extremely precise three-pointer feel and innate big heart,
Definitely not one "luck" can sum it up.

Fisher felt that his defensive pressure instantly increased.

Timberwolves here,

Players surround head coach Flip Saunders,

While listening to the head coach's tactical arrangement, they smiled at Lin Fei from time to time, patted Lin Fei's shoulder and head, and gave a thumbs up.

Lin Fei's three consecutive three-pointers are really crucial for the Timberwolves.

In the last 4 minutes of the game, they were only 4 points behind. Didn't the probability of this reversal suddenly increase?
The team's little transparent, which had been neglected all the time, instantly became the last straw for the Timberwolves.

Head coach Philip Saunders was also amazed by Lin Fei's three consecutive three-pointers.
Especially the last three-point catch after a conscious move, this is definitely the quality of a top shooter, even the top scorer in the team Szebiak,
At this time, compared with Lin Fei, it seemed to be bleak.

"Lin, your running position is very sharp, continue to do this and disrupt the Lakers' perimeter defense!"

"Kevin, Wally, including Latrell, the three of you can take the initiative to cover for Lin, and then look for opportunities to pass the ball!"

"Even if the Lakers will use Derek or Gary Payton to focus on marking Lin, their defensive focus will still be on Kevin and Latrier!"

"Focus on Lin, the outside firepower, will be the key to our surprise victory!"

Philip Sanders' move is very risky, because he knows that if he focuses on the wolf king and the madman, the Timberwolves will continue to fall into the predicament tonight.

To the surprise of Philip Sanders,
The other main players of the Timberwolves actually agreed with the head coach's arrangement and chose to trust Lin Fei unconditionally at the last moment.

Lin Fei was also a little surprised. It seems that his three consecutive three-pointers, in the big ball era of melee inside, are really nuclear weapons for dimensionality reduction.

After returning from the timeout, Lin Fei took the lead to go to the free throw line to prepare for an extra penalty.

The moment he stood on the free throw line, Lin Fei suddenly became embarrassed, the attribute of the free throw he was aiming at had been cleared!
There was no other way but to bite the bullet and punish him.

Although the free throw attribute is 0, but Lin Fei has also played since he was a child. He believes that he still has the basic skills of free throws. This ball may not be missed.

however……

"Bang!"

In the sound of iron striking, the rebound was grabbed by O'Neal against Garnett, and it was given to Gary Payton immediately.

Then, with a face full of color, he raised his eyebrows at Lin Fei who missed the free throw and said mockingly:

"Boy Tianchao, are you missing free throws? It seems that your hands are completely cold!"

Lin Fei returned to the defense and smiled back at "Shark" O'Neal's provocation. At least this guy seemed much closer than Kobe:

"Shaquille, others can mock my free throws, but you don't deserve it!"

O'Neal: "You..."

The Timberwolves fans at home also frowned, and began to worry about Lin Fei's touch:
"Why did he hit three three-pointers in a row and fail to make free throws? Could it be that this kid's hands are really cold?"

"A water dispenser administrator scored 9 points in a row. Can we ask for more? At the most critical moment, Kevin, Latril and Wally still need to stand up!"

"That's true. Lin, as an undrafted pick, can score three consecutive three-pointers in less than 2 minutes on the stage of the Western Conference Finals. This is enough for him to boast for half his life!"

On the court, Kobe went down to the frontcourt and continued to ask Gary Payton for the ball,
But the old Payton did not give it to Kobe, but gave the ball to Fisher who was facing Lin Fei on the weak side.

Lin Fei's heart tightened.

Oops, this old Payton is indeed an experienced point guard, and he intends to let Fisher play alone to test his defensive strength.

Fisher, who was beaten 3+1 by Lin Fei, was naturally angry and wanted to respond directly on the offensive end.

Judging from Lin Fei's thin physical condition, his defense should indeed not be much better.

But Fisher didn't expect that Lin Fei's defense was so stretched. He was just a simple crossover, so he threw the opponent out and easily took off to hit a two-pointer.

"Shh!"

Kevin Garnett and "Madman" on the court frowned suddenly. Isn't Lin Fei's defense too hot?

"Lin, cheer up, offense alone won't win the playoffs!"

"Wolf King" took the initiative to go up and pat Lin Fei on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Lin Fei nodded embarrassingly. He knew that the wolf king, who had always been grumpy and scolded his teammates, was enough to give him face.

Of course, it's not for himself, but for his three consecutive three-pointers.

But can you really not win the playoffs just by attacking?

Lin Fei didn't think so.

Wally Szczerbiak was also a little strange. He knew Lin Fei very well during training. Even though Lin Fei's defense was not good, he didn't stretch his hips to the point just now, did he?

It seems that the opponent is too nervous to play in the playoffs for the first time.

"Lin, don't be nervous, I believe you can do better!"

Philip Sanders, who was standing on the sidelines, also frowned slightly. Although Lin Fei's three-pointer was very threatening, his defense was too poor. It was also a hidden danger to be magnified by the Lakers.

Timberwolves fans at home also began to complain about Lin Fei's defense, but they quickly shut up.

Because Lin Fei scored two three-pointers again.

The Timberwolves came to the offensive end. This time, Fisher closely guarded Lin Fei and did not give him the slightest chance to catch the ball.

However, Lin Fei directly used the cover of "Wolf King" from the high position, and quickly crossed from the left bottom corner to the top of the arc near the three-point line.
At this time, Fisher had already been effectively delayed by the Wolf King. With the help of a cross screen with Szebiak, Lin Fei instantly came to the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

The "madman" holding the ball has long noticed Lin Fei's ghostly running position, so he is always ready to pass the ball.

For a teammate who scored 3 three-pointers in a row, no one would not want him to shoot again.

"Whoosh!"

"Madman" was obviously risky in this pass. When the ball was in Lin Fei's hands, Gary Payton had decisively changed his defense, sticking close to Lin Fei and not giving the opponent a chance.

But Lin Fei didn't hesitate at this time, he leaped high in front of Gary Payton, and shot a three-pointer decisively.

shhhhhh!
Gary Payton's pupils dilated rapidly, and he jumped up to block the shot, but the basketball still flew past his fingertips less than 5 centimeters away.

"Shh!"

the fourth.

In fact, the old Payton was also suspected of being a thug in this defense, but the referee did not blow his whistle.

Lin Fei didn't care too much about this, after all he couldn't hit a free throw!
It seems that after winning this game, Lin Fei must quickly increase the three-point attribute to the full level,

Then increase the amount of training, and first add the free attribute points obtained to free throws...
