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

Chapter 57 [57] An opportunity that is not an opportunity?

On the court, Philip Sanders really arranged more offensive tactics for Szczerbiak during the timeout, allowing him to bear more of the team's offensive pressure.

In the next attack of the Timberwolves, Lin Fei continued to open space on the outside, "Madman" also squatted to the bottom corner, and the Wolf King attracted Rasheed Wallace to the high position on the right.

Szczerbiak faced Tyshawn Prince on the left axis, and received the ball with his back. Relying on the advantage in tonnage, he strongly contradicted Prince twice. From the corner of his eye, he watched the opponent's defensive footsteps lose their position.

Turn over decisively and shoot a jumper.

Prince staggered and stretched his long arms to block, but the basketball had already flown over his head.

"Shh!"

The difference between Szebiak and Lin Fei is that he is not only an excellent catcher and shooter, but also maintains the shooting level of the 180 club all the year round.

At the same time, when facing players who are weaker than yourself, burying your head under the basket and hitting a turnaround jumper with your back are also highly confident scoring methods.

If it weren't for the impact of ankle injuries in the past two seasons, Szczerbiak would definitely be a first-class scorer averaging 20+ per game.

Because of the surge in Lin Fei's playing time tonight, Szczerbiak also got enough rest time in the first half,
Compared with Prince, who played for more than 30 minutes with almost no rest, Szczerbiak has an absolute physical advantage.

For the Pistons, Billups missed an outside shot from the frontcourt after a pick-and-roll, and Prince still missed after grabbing an offensive rebound.

"Bang!"

The Wolf King grabbed the rebound and the Timberwolves attacked again.

Szczerbiak continued to single-handedly challenge Prince with the ball. Although the jumping layup that turned over and broke through was not so beautiful, it was very practical.

"Shh!"

With Szebiak scoring 4 points in a row, the Timberwolves also stabilized the situation and extended their lead to 9 points again.

The Timberwolves fans at home finally breathed a sigh of relief, sending applause and cheers to the handsome white guy of their team.

Larry Brown did not hesitate, and immediately chose to call a long timeout.

Lin Fei took the initiative to smile and stepped forward to give Szebiak a high five, and gave a thumbs up to his good friend.

"Wally, it turns out that your back hitting and ball-handling breakthrough are also so good. If I can have your two ball-handling skills, I will no longer be afraid of running hard and not being able to catch the ball!"

"Haha, Lin, Prince can't guard against me, he's too thin!"

Szczerbiak smiled and said, "Lin, your three-pointer is a rare move. You've already scored 19 points without saying a word. I only have 7 points now!"

"Wally, then you can score some more points and overtake me quickly..."

Just when Szczerbiak was about to laugh and say that he was not that capable, Lin Fei added: "Then if I overtake you, and you overtake me, a big victory is inevitable!"

"Haha, that's a good point! Let's compare tonight, whoever has more points will treat you?"

"You're trying to discourage the enthusiasm for scoring. Of course, whoever scores less will be treated. I'm sure I'll eat my sister-in-law's steak!"

Pause back.

Larry Brown temporarily replaced Tayshaun Prince, giving him a break from the bench, and brought in Corris to match up with Zerbiak.

Coris Dingsi Zerbiak, who was physically stronger, really had better results, but the wolf king who had adjusted his state also came to feel, facing the roaring Tianzun and hit a big jumper with iron blood.

"Shh!"

Throughout the second half of the third quarter, the Timberwolves always held an advantage of about 10 points, killing the patience of the Detroit Pistons in chasing points.

Lin Fei never got another chance to catch the ball on the offensive end until the last 10 seconds of the third quarter...

"Bang!"

Szczerbiak missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and Ben and Olowokandi at the basket competed for rebounds.

The ball was hit high into the sky twice in a row, and the wolf king quickly rushed up to fight for it. The excellent jumping height had an obvious advantage in front of Da Ben, and he jumped high to catch the basketball.

"Snapped!"

But Big Ben's reaction was also quick, his big hand went straight from bottom to top, stabbing the basketball out of Wolf King's hand.

At this time, the basketball flew near the top of the arc. Seeing that he was the closest, Hamilton let Lin Fei go and rushed up to control the ball.

However, the moment Hamilton had just secured the ball, the "madman" also pounced up from his side, as fast and ruthless as a scalpel, and slapped the ball off Hamilton's hand.

Hamilton bent down to fight for the ball, but the "madman" reached out to Szebiak who came up to the left to respond.

Szczerbiak got the ball against Corlis. At this time, on the timer, there were only 3 seconds left in the third quarter.

"Wally, here!"

Only then did Hamilton realize something, and when he turned around, Lin Fei had already retreated two meters away from the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right.

"Whoosh!"

Szczerbiak passed the ball quickly without any hesitation.

The moment Lin Fei received the ball, he immediately felt refreshed. The damn basketball was finally in his hands again.

Letting out a long breath of turbid air, Lin Fei quickly jumped up, bowed his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at the buzzer to meet Hamilton who was rushing forward in a panic.

The moment the basketball flew out of Lin Fei's fingertips, the timer and the red lights on the tempered backboard also lit up, and the third quarter ended.

"Shh!"

In the next second, the crisp netting sound was like heaven, as if the eagle-eyed referee Dick Bavita reached out to signal that Lin Fei's three-point goal was valid.

The Pistons players protested, thinking that Lin Fei's three-point shot had timed out.

The staff in front of the technical stage looked back at the video carefully, making sure that the basketball had left Lin Fei's fingertips when the red light came on, and reconfirmed that the goal was valid.

It was a three-pointer at the buzzer with a margin of error of less than 0.1 seconds, and the Target Center was filled with cheers. After waiting for a quarter, Lin Fei finally scored another three-pointer.

Timberwolves (71): (58) Pistons.

Entering the fourth quarter with a 13-point advantage.

After three quarters, Lin Fei hit 6 three-pointers and scored 22 points.

At the same time, Lin Fei, who played the entire third quarter, played 1 minutes in G25 of the finals tonight.

This is also the longest game Lin Fei has played in the Timberwolves, and in the next fourth quarter, Lin Fei will still be reused.

An undrafted rookie can play more than 30+ minutes in the NBA Finals, regardless of his personal data,
This is enough to show his importance and irreplaceability to the Timberwolves championship team.

After the start of the last quarter, Larry Brown asked Hamilton to rest on the bench for a while, and Philip Sanders naturally took advantage of this time to replace Lin Fei:

"Lin, you've worked hard, take a rest, Hamilton may reappear at any time!"

Lin Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling that he still had some reservations about his physical fitness, nodded and said, "Good coach!"

After 10 days of training with the system's ten-fold endurance training card, Lin Fei already felt that his physical fitness had improved significantly.

At the same time, Philip Sanders also took advantage of the team's obvious lead, and quickly let Olowokandi, who played 36 minutes in the three quarters, rest for 2 minutes and replaced the old Johnson.

Naturally, the Wolf King can't play with Olowokandi, otherwise the Timberwolves' penalty area will be smashed by the Pistons.

The Pistons' double Wallace has also been playing. The team is still 13 points behind in the final quarter, and the main players are ready to play for 48 minutes.

After all, this is the NBA Finals, and winning or losing Game [-] is even more crucial.

Sure enough, something went wrong for Olowokandi. The double Wallace connected in the frontcourt, and Da Ben easily pushed back the old Johnson to catch the ball and dunk.

"Boom!"

Looking back, the "Madman" made a mistake in the pass and was intercepted by Billups. The Pistons counterattacked and fast-breaked, stabilized and played positional battles.

Billups used the pick-and-roll to break through the basket, attracting Prince, who double-teamed and then scored the corner. The latter made a three-pointer, and this time he finally got it.

"Shh!"

The Pistons scored 5 points in a row in the last quarter, and the point difference was also recovered to single digits.

Larry Brown quickly replaced Hamilton at the next dead-ball time, and Lin Fei also got up and appeared on the field.

When Lin Fei didn't expect, he got the chance to catch the ball in the first round.

The Pistons attacked, and Rashid held the ball in a high position and played Wolf King with his back. Seeing that Roaring Tianzun was stopped by the Wolf King, the "madman" quickly rushed up to double-team and cut the basketball directly from the opponent.

"Snapped!"

Lin Fei has quick eyes and quick hands, and has an unparalleled sense of movement in counterattacks and fast breaks. He throws off Hamilton and hits the frontcourt at full speed.

"Whoosh!"

A moving cover by Szczerbiak happened to block Hamilton who was chasing Lin Fei, and the two collided directly.

After this slight delay, Lin Fei had already rushed to the frontcourt at full speed.

The "madman" was delayed by Billups in the dribble counterattack, and threw the ball directly to Lin Fei in the frontcourt with a long pass.

This pass is a bit stronger, but it is also a very good leading pass. Lin Fei just needs to continue to accelerate and rush to catch the basketball just in time.

"Whoosh!"

However, just when Lin Fei stepped into the three-point line and reached out to grab the basketball, his mind suddenly went blank.
Fuck, catch the ball inside the three-point line, what should he do?
Seeing the flat penalty area in front of him and the empty basket that was so close at hand, Lin Fei gritted his teeth, and before he had time to think about it, he took a jerky dribble, and after closing the ball, he strode toward the basket...

Charles Barkley in front of the commentary on the sidelines slapped the table and shouted:

"Is Lin going to dunk? This is a great opportunity, we can finally see Lin's scoring performance beyond the three-pointer..."

"Er... what is this...?"

On the court, Lin Fei, who was about to jump up and dunk, suddenly slipped and fell directly under the basket with a "plop"...
