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

Chapter 63 [63] Madman: My wrist is out of control! (seeking first order)
"OMG, Mrs. Lin is so fucking handsome. She doesn't even look at the ball after it's thrown. With such confidence, who else is there?"

"Haha, Lin's first three-pointer tonight came neither too early nor too late, just right!"

"Just now Lin was barely able to withstand Hamilton on the defensive end. He didn't give him a chance to turn over and shoot a jumper directly. This also indirectly helped the team achieve a counterattack fast break!"

"I feel that Hamilton is not so easy to deal with. He should have underestimated the enemy. Next is the time to test Lin's defensive quality!"

"My, God, Lin, who has a 0-degree angle on the right, has never missed a shot. I hope this record can be maintained until the end of the finals!"

Philip Sanders on the sidelines also nodded in satisfaction. It seems that his idea is correct. Even if he defends the ball holder alone, Lin Fei is not useless on the defensive end.

Compared with the three games in the Western Conference Finals, Lin Fei's defense has improved a bit, at least he will no longer blindly foul, but he still needs to change his habit of risky steals.

However, before Philip Sanders is happy here,
On the court, Hamilton rushed forward with a cold expression, held the ball high and hit Lin Fei with his back, turned over and made a shot fake and successfully shook his opponent, and shot a jumper against Lin Fei's chest.

"Bang!"

"Beep!"

The basketball missed the hoop, but the referee Crawford blew his whistle to signal that Lin Fei fouled Hamilton with a shot thug.

Two free throws.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Hamilton, who went to the free throw line, made two free throws and has already scored 4 points tonight.

Timberwolves (8): (6) Pistons.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Philip Sanders got up and shouted at Lin Fei on the field, signaling him to pay attention to his foul.

This time the ball was finally in the hands of Szczerbiak, but after the lesson of being blown up on the defensive end in G1, Prince's strict defense this time made Szczerbiak's turnaround jumper miss the frame.

"Bang!"

The rebound was pulled out by Olowokandi for the first time, and the "madman" who followed up with an air cut quickly took advantage of Olowokandi's cover, and he was about to send a dunk directly after taking off from the penalty area.

But the ferocious Big Ben rushed to the horse, and the speed of repairing the defense exceeded the cognition of the "madman".

"Snapped!"

Amidst the loud noise, a bloody big hat full of aesthetic violence came into being.

Big Ben used his terrifying unicorn arm like a horned dragon to forcefully dribble Sprewell with the ball, and pressed it down from the sky.

"boom!"

The "madman" fell to the ground in pain, and the basketball flew out of his hands, and was immediately grabbed by Rasheed Wallace.

The bald referee acquiesced that this was a good cap, signaled that there was no foul, and the game continued.

Rasheed avoided the Wolf King's steal, turned over and gave the ball to point guard Billups, and the Pistons countered with a fast break.

The "madman" who fell on the ground endured the pain in his back, gritted his teeth and jumped up, glared at the bald referee, and quickly returned to the defense.

But Billups had already rushed into the frontcourt at this time, and Szczerbiak could only let Prince go and chase quickly, but his speed was obviously a little bit behind.

Lin Fei chased after Hamilton, who was coming down from the wing, and Billups took advantage of the opportunity to get to the basket and made an easy layup.

"Shh!"

8: 8!

The Pistons quickly tied the score.

The Wolf King came to the offensive end, facing Rasheed Wallace, turned over and made a foul by the roaring Tianzun's shooting thug.

"Beep!"

The wolf king who walked to the free throw line took a deep breath and made both free throws.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

The Pistons' offense was still aimed at Lin Fei this time, but it was Billups holding the ball and Hamilton's pick-and-roll cooperation.

"Madman" was impatient and failed to bypass the cover immediately, and collided with Hamilton.

Lin Fei saw that Billups was defending in a high position without the ball, so he could only try to step forward to delay the interference.

But Billups' foul-making ability is quite outstanding, at least one level higher than Hamilton's.

Lin Fei had already been fouled once, so he didn't dare to get too close, so he could only shoot and not let go.

Billups took advantage of the gap between the "madman" and quickly jumped out of the hand distance facing Lin Fei.

"Shh!"

Hit steadily.

This can be said to be another point for Lin Fei's poor defense, but the Wolf King and "Madman" didn't blame him at all.

At least in the opening 4 minutes tonight, Lin Fei's defensive performance can't be regarded as absolutely stretching his hips. Compared with the previous few games, his teammates have already seen his active efforts on the defensive end.

Philip Sanders called the first long timeout in the opening game, with 7 minutes and 56 seconds left in the first quarter.

Timberwolves (10): (10) Pistons.

"Lin, you did a good job, keep it up!"

"Everyone remember, if Hamilton wants to hit Lin with the ball, let him play. Others keep an eye on their defenders. No matter how you look at it, this guy doesn't look like a master with the ball!"

"But if the Pistons play a pick-and-roll against Lin, they must immediately go around the screen and chase up defenses, and absolutely cannot switch defenses!"

Philip Sanders took a look at "Madman", obviously pointing out that the chasing and defending around the screen just now was not good, which led to Billups having the opportunity to single-handedly fight Lin Fei.

"Madman" clenched his fists angrily, and cursed Crawford in a low voice:
"Hamilton was an obvious mobile pick-and-roll just now, otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep up with Chauncey!"

Philip Sanders patted "Madman" on the shoulder and comforted:

"Latrier, never complain about the referee. We also have mobile screens. Only showing a tougher performance is the best response to unfair penalties!"

"By the way, Lin, don't risk stealing anymore. If you can keep your position and don't foul, even if you have completed the task on the defensive end, no matter how accurate Hamilton is, we can't kill our Timberwolves!"

Lin Fei nodded to the head coach, he was satisfied with his overall defensive performance at the beginning of the game tonight, as long as he worked hard, he would have a clear conscience.

After all, his comprehensive defensive attribute has just reached 46 points.

Hamilton, who was able to hold the ball in the finals, allowed the opponent to only succeed twice in four targeted heads-ups, and at the same time controlled the number of fouls, which is already quite good.

Judging from the opening 4 minutes, tonight's finals G2 is more intense and tense than the previous one.
The fact that the head coach didn't change himself off the field says it all.

Trenton Hassell also smiled and patted Lin Fei's shoulder beside him, encouraging him:

"Lin, come on, you're almost able to defend against Hamilton!"

Lin Fei's little nose twitched, it didn't sound like a compliment!

After the timeout, the two teams still started with the five tigers, and did not make any substitutions.

The Pistons made no mistakes, and it was always difficult for Lin Fei to get a chance in the Timberwolves' positional battle.

Simply reducing the running distance, squatting on the outside opened up the team's offensive space.

Szebiak hit Prince's turnaround jumper with his back, this time with it.

"Shh!"

Looking back,

Hamilton continued to play Lin Fei with the ball in the high position. Lin Fei kept the coach's words in mind, and instead of going close to the risky steals, he let go of two steps and assumed a standard defensive posture.

Seeing that Lin Fei didn't respond after a three-threat, Hamilton took off decisively and shot a two-pointer.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, the ball missed, but the rebound was firmly grabbed by Daben.

"Snapped!"

Olowokandi stood up against Big Ben immediately, and the Wolf King quickly turned around and double-teamed him.
Ben Wallace obviously had a flaw in the face of the double-teamed ball, and Szczerbiak quickly turned over and rushed up to complete the steal.

"Snapped!"

But when Szerbiak turned over and passed to "Madman" for a fast break, he was a little impatient, and Billups flew back to intercept him.

"Snapped!"

Billups, who completed the counterattack, stabilized the rhythm, and Rasheed Wallace's outside three-pointer after the pick-and-roll still missed.

"Bang!"

The Timberwolves grabbed the rebound and counterattacked, and the Pistons quickly returned to defense.

"Bang!"

"Madman" used cover to break through the penalty area for a difficult layup, which was interfered by Daben, but still missed the shot.

Pistons attack,

Rasheed Wallace misplaced against "Mad Men"'s straight-arm jumper or nothing.

"Bang!"

The two sides then entered a 2-minute blackout time, and did not score until the official timeout.

After the official timeout came back, Hamilton held the ball in front of Lin Fei and then made a shot, and this time he finally got it.

"Shh!"

12 to 12, the two teams tied again.

From the end of the first quarter to the end, Lin Fei couldn't get another chance to catch the ball, and his defense against Hamilton was also lackluster, allowing the opponent to score 9 points in less than a quarter.

Timberwolves (19): (19) Pistons.

The game reached the last 15 seconds of the first quarter, and the two sides were still tied. The Pistons executed the last attack of the first quarter on the offensive end.

Lin Fei continued to circle forward to prevent Hamilton from receiving the ball, but Billups still rushed up and made a pick-and-roll, handing the ball into Hamilton's hands, and then quickly opened up the space.

Hamilton faced the frame and put on a shooting posture. Lin Fei was a little closer this time, with sharp eyes, and every defensive nerve was tense.

"Lin, you want to guard against me just because of you, don't dream!"

Hamilton threw out a trash talk and pushed the attack time down to 7 seconds. Suddenly, a fake dribble changed direction and went straight to Lin Fei's left hand side.

Perhaps because of the fact that he played the entire first quarter and made many strong attacks with the ball, Hamilton obviously exhausted his physical strength, and the last attack at the end of this quarter was a bit reluctant.

This time, Lin Fei correctly judged the direction of Hamilton's breakthrough, but his body still dragged his feet, allowing Wang Hamilton to miss half a body in one step.

But in the subsequent second breakthrough, Hamilton was obviously weak in succession.

Lin Fei saw the right moment, his eyes flashed, his long arms looked like snakes, and he quickly struck out under Hamilton's armpit.

"Snapped!"

The 60-point steal of the pass line played a vital role at the critical moment.

Lin Fei directly poked the ball out of Hamilton's hand. Seeing the "madman" rushing up to grab the ball from the other side, he quickly turned around and strode towards the frontcourt.

"Whoosh!"

"Latrier, here!"

"Snapped!"

The "madman" bent down and grabbed the basketball before Hamilton, and it was a long pass without sticking to the ball. The basketball flew over the top of the three-point arc and landed in front of Lin Fei who was about to come down.

The moment Lin Fei received the ball, he just stepped on the center line on the right side of the court.

Looking at the basket 14 meters away, he took a deep breath, adjusted his strength, and directly shot an arrow on horseback.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball flew over half court at Target Center and roared toward the hoop.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Fei was bound to make the ultra-long three-pointer, there was a sound of "bang dang", which instantly awakened countless dreamers.

Because the shooting distance is very long and the strength is also great, the long rebound is also very far, and it falls directly to the left side of the frontcourt near a 45-degree angle.

When Lin Fei took the shot, he felt that the ball might be missed, so he judged the position of the rebound, and had already made preparations to only insert it at a 45-degree angle to the left.

However, at this critical moment, Lin Fei found a familiar figure flying past him.

Spray the Ferrari's exhaust on the chasing Hamilton and Billups.

It was "Madman" Sprewell.

"Whoosh!"

So without any hesitation, Lin Fei turned the steering wheel and headed straight to the right at a 0-degree angle.

"Snapped!"

The "madman" who rushed into the frontcourt and grabbed the long rebound, watched the flames burning in the pupils of the basket, accelerated to get rid of Billups who was chasing behind him, stepped into the penalty area, and was about to send a flying dunk.

In the first quarter tonight, "Madman" didn't play well. He only scored 7 points on 2 of 4 shots.

In particular, the blood cap that was overturned to the ground with a dribble made Sprewell even more angry.

Seeing that the time on the timer reached the last 2 seconds of the first quarter, Latrier wanted to vent his anger with a flying dunk in a fast break.

However, at the moment when the "madman" stepped into the penalty area and jumped up to dunk, his gaze once again caught sight of Lin Fei standing at a 0-degree angle on the right.

At this time, Lin Fei didn't wave his hand to the "madman" for the ball, after all, his dunk is more sure and can also boost the momentum of the team.

"Madman" himself thought the same way, but he didn't know why, after a momentary change of thought, his wrist seemed to be out of control, and he still chose to pass the ball to the right at a 0-degree angle.

"Whoosh!"

For Lin Fei in this position, the "madman" has given him several assists, and he knows in his heart that Lin Fei will not miss.

Lin Fei was also a little surprised by the "Madman"'s fake dunk and real pass, but he still didn't hesitate after catching the ball. He rushed to the last second of the timer, jumped up and shot another one.

It was already too late for Hamilton to rush up to defend him. Seeing Lin Fei take off and shoot, he didn't even dare to look at the flight trajectory of the basketball, so he chose to close his eyes.

"Shh!"

the second.

At the same time as the basketball was hollowed into the net, the red light on the tempered backboard came on, and the first quarter ended.

Timberwolves (22): (19) Pistons.

With Lin Fei's three-pointer at the buzzer, the Timberwolves finally broke the balance and took a three-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

Throughout the first quarter, the two teams led alternately 11 times, which shows the intensity of the game.

Lin Fei, who hit the second three-pointer at the same position, rushed forward with a smile and gave the "Madman" a high five:
"Latrier, why are you passing me a ball that can be easily dunked?"

The "madman" stared at his hands with rounded eyes, and said with horror on his face:
"Lin, I don't even know why I suddenly passed it to you. Seeing you standing in the right corner, I can't control my hand at all!"

"Maybe subconsciously, three points is still one point more than two points!"

Lin Fei laughed and said, "It's fortunate that I still made the shot, otherwise I would have wasted a great opportunity!"

Szczerbiak rushed up and laughed, "Lin, you're shooting 0% of your 100-pointers at a [-]-degree angle on the right!"

"Besides, you just missed a half-court super long shot, how could you miss it for the second time in a row?"

Lin Fei and "Madman" looked at each other and nodded.

This seems to make sense!
Although Lin Fei has missed a few three-pointers from G5 of the Western Conference finals to G2 of the Finals tonight, he has never missed twice in a row. The overall shooting rate is also a horror against humanity.

Even in off-court training, Lin Fei never missed two consecutive three-pointers.

"Wally, you still understand me!"

After the first quarter, the high-definition four-sided screen above everyone's heads also played back the entire process of the Timberwolves' last counterattack in the first quarter from several different camera angles in slow speed.

Lin Fei and "Madman" were the absolute protagonists of this fast-break counterattack. The two scored 3 points, 1 steal, 1 rebound and 1 assist together.

Tonight, the famous ESPN commentators Mike Breen and Chat Ford in front of the commentary stand on the sidelines, while touting Lin Fei's three-point accuracy, they also praised the "madman"'s divine assist.

"I have to say that this fake pass after Latrier vacated at the last moment is a very difficult assist!"

"Because from the video playback, after taking off, Latrier has already made a dunk action of raising the ball with one hand, and then passing it again requires a very strong core strength and coordination of the player!"

"Besides, Latrier also controlled the timing very well, allowing Lin Fei to catch the ball comfortably in the last second!"

"Such a high-quality pass, I want to say, looking at the entire NBA today, only a few top point guards such as Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, and Mark Jackson can do it!"

The "madman" sitting in front of the Timberwolves' bench looked innocent. He never imagined that his so-called uncontrollable wrist was praised by the commentator and regarded as a classic finals assist in NBA history.

Lin Fei played the full 12 minutes of the first quarter, and naturally needed to rest for a certain period of time in the second quarter, so Philip Sanders could only let Trenton Hassel go up.

But Hamilton did not rest here. Seeing Hassell come up, he switched to the familiar off-ball mode in an instant.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

For two consecutive off-ball runs on the offensive end, Hamilton played around with Hassell, received two passes from his teammates, and scored 4 points.

Sitting on the bench, Lin Fei couldn't help sighing, he was indeed "the masked man who can't run to death", with such ball-holding power that even a big wolf dog would be exhausted to death.

After playing with the ball for 12 minutes in the first quarter, Lin Fei could clearly feel that Hamilton was tired, but in the second quarter, he switched to the off-ball mode, and the blood bar was full again in an instant.

Lin Fei really couldn't envy this physical ability.

Fortunately, Hamilton's mid-range shooting percentage was not as good as Lin Fei's abnormal three-pointer. Perhaps his physical strength was still slightly affected, and he only hit 3 goal in the next 1 shots.

Philip Sanders let Hassel grit his teeth for 5 minutes, and then quickly replaced Lin Fei.

As soon as Lin Fei came up, Hamilton switched to the ball-holding mode in an instant. He stopped and shot suddenly, and the basketball hit the net again.

"Shh!"

The corner of Lin Fei's mouth twitched, Damn, isn't this bullying?
After one and a half quarters of the game, Hamilton had already scored 18 points. In the case of Wolf King and "Madman" in the second quarter, the Pistons had turned away and led by 5 points.

Standing on the sidelines, Philip Sanders frowned and pondered. If Hamilton's problem is not resolved tonight, the Timberwolves may be thrown to death by the opponent...
