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

Chapter 7 [7] A player without a ball can be so handsome!

"To be honest, although Dayao has played in the NBA for two years, he also led the team to the playoffs this year, and his position in the hearts of Chinese basketball fans is even more important!"

"But the bright moments Dayao created in the NBA in the two seasons can't be compared with Lin Fei's five three-pointers at this time!"

"This is the Western Conference finals where the bayonet is popular. O'Neal, Kobe, Ma Long, Garnett, these are the top stars in the league!"

"Lin Fei can hit 5 consecutive three-pointers in the final quarter of this kind of high-level competition. It is no exaggeration to say that he can definitely boast for a lifetime!"

Director Zhang was so excited that his voice trembled, and his characteristic Beijing accent was distinct.

As a former men's basketball national player, Director Zhang has led the national team to win two men's basketball Asian Championships and one Asian Games championship. In the 70s, he was known as the number one striker in Asia.

As the older generation of national team players, they all have simple patriotic feelings.

After retiring, Director Zhang has always paid attention to the development of the national basketball career, and has visited the Omi basketball circle many times.

Committed to spreading the world's most advanced basketball experience to China and promoting the exchange of basketball culture between China and foreign countries.

Now as Dayao has gained a firm foothold in the NBA, more top NBA games have been introduced to China,

Coupled with the growth of a group of young players such as Ah Lian, Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, etc.,

Director Zhang also saw the new hope and glory of the Tianchao men's basketball team.

However, all these surprises were nothing compared to tonight.

"As a guard with a height of only 1.92 meters, Lin Fei's thin body is in the Western Conference finals, facing these talented big bosses ~ black guys!"

"It's really like an ordinary person walking through the wild beast jungle, as if being touched may be injured!"

"But in such an environment, he hit 5 consecutive three-pointers and helped the Timberwolves change their fate in the Western Conference Finals!"

"Is that reasonable? Honestly, it's very unreasonable!"

"But Lin Fei made the unreasonable become reasonable!"

Listening to Director Zhang's classic "reasonable tongue twister", Yu Jia who was sitting beside him also laughed:

"Director Zhang, let's analyze it for the fans. Is Lin Fei's sudden explosion this time due to luck or real strength?"

"Can he still play steadily in the future?"

Director Zhang immediately switched to a professional perspective and said:

"It's definitely not just luck, you must know that luck is often reserved for those who are prepared!"

"I've studied Lin Fei a long time ago, and I've watched his previous CUBA game videos!"

"His talent is naturally not ranked high in the NBA, but among our Celestial defenders, he is still a top-notch existence. He has obviously more potential than Wang Shipeng of the Guangdong team!"

"And this Lin Fei has been known as a 'training madman' since he was in college, and his daily training volume is more than three times that of other players!"

"This year when I joined the Timberwolves, although I didn't have much playing time, Lin Fei still insisted on high-intensity training and never slacked off!"

"It seems that this perseverance has finally paid off in today's game!"

Look back to the Target Center arena.

Seeing Lin Fei hit five three-pointers in a row and helped the team tie the score with incredible performance,
The "Zen Master" didn't dare to push it any further, with a serious expression on his face, he repeatedly told Derek Fisher to follow Lin Fei closely,

Never give him another chance to catch the ball.

"Derek, cheer me up, your speed can't catch up with an Asian defender!"

"Once this Lin is cross-screening with a teammate in the run, Gary, Devin, even Kobe,"

"The three of you must switch defenses decisively for me, and always be alert to the passing intention of the ball holder, and cut off the connection between him and his teammates!"

"As long as this kid can't catch the ball, he won't be able to pose any more threats!"

"Take it seriously, don't underestimate this Asian boy!"

"When a third-rate player hits 5 consecutive three-pointers in the playoffs, then at least in this game, he has risen to the star level!"

Kobe clenched his fists tightly, clenched his teeth, and looked fiercely.

The three-pointer that Lin Fei shot at himself just now completely irritated the competitive Black Mamba.

"If Sprewell hadn't played well tonight, I would have defended until that kid from the Celestial Dynasty doubted his life!"

O'Neal smiled and said sarcastic remarks: "Bryant, why are you so serious with a substitute? What's his level? What's your level?"

"Next, pass the ball to me more, I will solve everything!"

I have to say that O'Neal's mentality is better and more confident, and he still doesn't think the team will lose this G5.

After all, the Sharks at their peak have full self-confidence.

Kobe snorted and didn't say anything. He couldn't see O'Neal's lazy game attitude the most.

But helplessly, the talent is too strong, what can you do if you sit firmly as the leader of the team?
"Zen Master" has long been aware of the intensification of the conflict between OK, and said in a cold voice:

"If you want to quarrel, wait until you win the game to quarrel!"

"If I don't win G5 tonight, you all have to practice for me when I return to Los Angeles!"

Timberwolves here,
The head coach Philip Saunders also had a quick exchange with the assistant team and arranged a targeted tactical strategy.

As the score was miraculously tied by Lin Fei's five three-pointers, the entire Timberwolves saw the hope of a reversal.
The players and the coaching staff also instantly became full of energy.

"Lin, you still have plenty of physical strength, continue to run sharply and disrupt the Lakers' defense!"

"After this timeout, the Lakers will definitely strengthen their defense against you again, especially when they are covering with teammates, they are likely to switch defenses decisively!"

"Also try to cut off your line of receiving the ball!"

"So, Kevin, Latrell, including Wally and Fred, if you get a good opportunity, you must make a decisive move!"

"To win tonight's G5, everyone must stand up and contribute to the team!"

"On the defensive end, Lin's defense is not good, and this is likely to become the target of the Lakers!"

"So Wally and Latrier should help Lin switch appropriately according to the situation on the field!"

After Philip Sanders' tactics were arranged, Lin Fei said that it was a lie that he was not moved.
This fucking head coach is too caring, right?
He seems to be the tactical treatment that only the team leader has!
It seems that in this era of big ball,
As long as the three-pointer can hit Lin Fei so accurately,
Even if he has 3 and no D, and can't dribble and pass, he definitely has a chance to flourish in the NBA.

Naturally, Lin Fei didn't dare to expect the team to train him as a core player.
After all, there are still too many shortcomings in him, but they haven't been exposed yet.

But at least in the last few minutes of tonight's Western Conference Finals G5, Lin Fei dared to say that he was the absolute core of the Timberwolves' offensive end.

Have to admit,
Although Philip Sanders is not very famous in the circle of NBA head coaches,

But he has his own coaching philosophy, dares to use new players boldly, and tries new tactics.

If Lin Fei plays as a substitute for Zhuge Bobo's team in the Spurs,

Even if he hit five consecutive three-pointers in the playoffs, because of his poor defense, he is likely to be decisively replaced by Popo.

Although Lin Fei only played well for 3 minutes,
But in the eyes of Philip Sanders, it seems to see a new era of NBA.

It turns out that a player without the ball may also become the number one master on the field!

Pause back soon,

The game continues.

Seriously, the Lakers are terrible. Kobe and Fisher crossed the screen at the top of the arc, called Lin Fei in a misplaced position, broke through with the ball, and passed Lin Fei cleanly with an acceleration.

"Whoosh!"

"Madman" bypassed Fisher and went after Kobe, but where could he catch up?
The black mamba spat out the snake letter, stabbed straight to the penalty area, and faced the wolf king's helpless defense, he threw the basketball lightly and high.

"Boom!"

O'Neal caught the ball and jumped up, grabbed the ball with both hands, a shark dunk was so powerful that the entire tempered backboard shook.

After aggressively catching the basket, O'Neal raised his chin and roared at Garnett:

"Want to reverse? I'm afraid you are dreaming!"

Lin Fei slightly blamed himself. He was the most responsible for the defense of the ball. If Kobe and Fisher had cross-screened just now,
If he can come up and delay Kobe's breakthrough a little bit, maybe "Madman" can catch up quickly.

But the cleared defensive attribute really made Lin Fei a little messy.

Originally thought that the teammates would blame him, but the "madman" with a big personality came up first, patted Lin Fei on the shoulder, and quickly sent encouragement:

"Lin, don't think too much, they just scored a two-pointer, and we will return a three-pointer soon!"

Lin Fei also responded to Sprewell with a confident smile:

"Latrier, the same sentence, as long as the ball can pass to my hands, I will definitely throw it into the basket!"

The three-point attribute of 99 is so confident!

But in the Timberwolves' next attack, Lin Fei failed to get another chance to catch the ball.

Although Fisher is 30 years old, he has outstanding physical fitness after all, and his speed and explosive power are much stronger than that of an American defender.
Even though Lin Fei is physically strong and has a top-notch awareness of running without the ball, his sharp penetration is still elusive.
But it will still suffer in terms of absolute speed.

What's more, the cover cooperation with teammates is improvisation, lacking the tacit understanding of long-term training,
Often results in low quality screens and few chances of getting wide open.

In addition, the old Payton and Kobe both chose to switch defenses and chase immediately,

This even killed Lin Fei's chance to catch the ball.

Although Lin Fei's running position failed to catch the ball, it achieved the purpose of disrupting the Lakers' defensive formation.

The experienced "madman" seized the first-line opportunity when Kobe switched to block Lin Fei's receiving space.
He retreated beyond the three-point line, received the "Wolf King" high-post support ball, and made a decisive three-pointer.

Maybe it was infected by Lin Fei's five three-pointers in a row,
The "madman" who is not very accurate in three-pointers is quite decisive when he makes this three-pointer.

The basketball also crossed the sky and fell steadily into the net.

"Shh!"

Seeing "Madman" hit a three-pointer, Lin Fei was also the first to rush up and give him a high five:
"Latrier, beautiful shot!"

"Madman" returned to the defense and laughed: "Lin, this is all thanks to you!"
