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

Chapter 202 [202] Lin Fei’s third crown, belated glory!

After the start of the third quarter, the Mavericks tried to launch a crazy counterattack, but the back line was never able to break through.
Devin Harris and Manu Ginobili have always been imprisoned by Lin Fei and Wade's top defensive intensity. They made continuous air cuts and used screens to run, but they failed to get good opportunities.

During an offense, Ginobili played a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki, misplaced the ball and rushed forward, and Lin Fei, who was flying to catch up, directly served him with a big block.

"Snapped!"

The Heat quickly launched a counterattack and fast break. Lin Fei seemed to be on a hot wheel, dribbling without slowing down and changing directions to pass two people. He hit another three-pointer from two meters away from the top of the arc.

"Shh!"

the seventh.

Immediately afterwards, Wade successfully stole the ball from Devin Harris during a single defense pressure.
During the counterattack, Lin Wei connected again. After receiving the pass, he rushed into the penalty area and made another big windmill dunk.

"Boom!"

The cheers at the American Airlines Arena grew higher and higher, and the excited female fans screamed hysterically.

"Look, what is the top defense? The backcourt combination of Lin and Dwayne is really amazing, a perfect combination of offense and defense!"

"Dwayne is really good at guarding people with the ball, and Lin is even more experienced in chasing people without the ball and making up defenses!"

"On the offensive end, Lin's outside three-pointers are unstoppable, Wade's breakthrough is invincible, Lin Wei's connection is so classic, it's a pity..."

"I really hope that the Big Three can reunite for another year. Our Heat's three consecutive championship dynasty will be absolutely stable!"

"Just watch and cherish it, this may really be the last game of the Big Three!"

The Mavericks' back line was completely locked up by Lin Fei and Wade, and Daniels, who came on the bench, was even more stretched. The offensive burden could only fall on Nowitzki and Josh Howard.

Nowitzki's outside touch was not very good in the first half tonight, and the Golden Rooster's independence was not easy either.

Therefore, in the third quarter, personal breakthroughs and air cuts were strengthened, and the proportion of post-ups in the low post was increased.

As an offensive power forward, Nowitzki is well-known in the league for his precise mid- and long-range shooting.

But in fact, Nowitzki's low-post offensive skills are also very solid. Although they cannot be compared with Duncan's basic skills, they are still top-notch.
The forward and backward turns in the low position are all done with ease, and the steps are quite flexible.

The change in offensive strategy caused Nowitzki's scoring efficiency to rise rapidly. He also received continuous fouls and was protected by the old Mourning in advance.

At the same time, as the team's third scoring point, Josh Howard also strengthened his individual singles, but his efficiency was average.

O'Neal rediscovered his feeling as the league's No. [-] center tonight.

Facing his upcoming fifth championship trophy, Shark was in high spirits. Before the first three quarters were finished, he had already grabbed 5 rebounds on both offense and defense, earning a double-double ahead of schedule.

After being blocked by a shark and walking to the free throw line, O'Neal first made a bumpy first free throw, and then deliberately let the basketball hit the edge of the basket with the second free throw, taking the penalty and grabbing the offensive rebound.
He stepped forward to face Diop, and hit the hook again with a sideways hook.

"Shh!"

Seeing O'Neal score 3 points in a row and regaining his confidence at the free throw line, Lin Fei and Wade also laughed and applauded. The harmonious scene between the Big Three was keenly captured by the cameras on the sidelines.

"Shaquille's peak years and the rapid rise of Lin and Dwayne belong to the perfect inheritance of two generations of superstars. This is the endless life of the NBA!"

"If there are no accidents, Shaquille will win the fifth championship trophy of his career tonight. It seems that joining the Heat from the Lakers was a very correct choice!"

"If the Heat win the championship tonight, Shaquille will also become the first superstar in NBA history to win consecutive championships with two different teams!"

"This championship may not be as valuable to the Sharks as the previous four, but it will still further his historical status!"

The Heat have an advantage in rebounding, and their overall shooting percentage is higher than that of the Mavericks. The huge lead in the score is naturally reasonable.

At the end of the third quarter, as Wade continued to break through and cause damage, the Mavericks' defensive attention was helplessly tilted towards the Flash.

Lin Fei, who had not taken any offensive action for most of the quarter, finally unsheathed his sword again and switched from containment mode to assassin mode.
Two consecutive three-pointers with the ball passed through Yang, causing the Mavericks' defense to focus on one thing and not the other.

In the last 3.2 seconds of the third quarter, Ginobili's European step layup was interfered by Mourning and missed.

Wade flew into the basket and grabbed the defensive rebound. After landing, he quickly passed it to Lin Fei near the top of the key.

Lin Fei quickly turned over after taking the ball, and when he looked up, he saw the timer behind the steel backboard in the frontcourt. There were only the last 2 seconds left in the final quarter of the game.

With a dribble behind his back to get rid of Josh Howard, Lin Fei quickly took a step and suddenly took off one meter outside the three-point line at the top of his own arc.

Shoot an arrow on horseback towards the basket 20 meters away, and quickly push the basketball out.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball passed through the sky 20 meters away from the court. The excited Heat fans stood up one after another, feeling that the ball was going to go in.

The very next moment the red light on the steel backboard came on,
"boom!"

"Shh!"

An incredible shot into the net, as if an atomic bomb had been dropped over American Airlines Arena.

"Ah... the ball went in! Lin Fei! Lin Fei hit a buzzer-beating shot from over 20 meters away!"

"In my mind, this should be the farthest three-pointer he has ever made in his career!"

In the stands on the second floor, Director Zhang, Yang Yi and others excitedly pumped their fists and cheered to celebrate Lin Fei's magical three-pointer at the buzzer.

Lin Fei's three-pointer seemed to completely kill the suspense of the game, making the Mavericks players feel desperate.

Mark Cuban, who was sitting on the sidelines and in the front row, also looked lonely. He looked at Lin Fei, who was cheered and admired by thousands of people on the court.
It's really hard to believe that this is the Chinese people he has been discriminating against in his heart.

Heat (101): (72) Mavericks.

After three quarters, driven by the collective display of the Big Three, the Heat already led the Mavericks by 29 points.

To recover 12 points in the final 29 minutes, and on the stage of the finals tie-break, is probably only a theoretical possibility.

Qin Dongmei, Song Yang, and Swifty in the front row, as well as the parents, wives, and family members of other Heat players, all stood up and applauded excitedly.

Greeting the Heat's main players as they walked off the court.

Everyone was very excited at the moment and couldn't help but start celebrating the championship in advance.

Stan Van Gundy also shook hands and hugged Chief Assistant Spoelstra and several other assistant coaches beside him.

It seems that the Heat coaching staff has completed its task tonight, and the Big Three can clock out three quarters in advance.

As Pat Riley's right-hand man, Stan Van Gundy has coached the Heat for three seasons, and his contract will expire at the end of the season.

Whether to choose to stay with the Heat in the new season or go to coach another team, Stan Van Gundy is currently facing a similar choice to Lin Fei.

Although Stan Van Gundy did not win the best head coach award in the three seasons he coached the Heat, he ran with him for two consecutive years.

The Heat's excellent record is more due to the strength of the Big Three.

But after all, the Miami Heat are a super team that is about to win the championship again, and Stan Van Gundy's exposure and influence will naturally increase.

Even if the Heat cannot give Stan Van Gundy a satisfactory new contract, Van Gundy is not worried about a new job at all. Currently, more than three teams have made an offer to him.

Among them is James Dolan’s New York Knicks.

At the beginning of the final quarter, Stan Van Gundy asked Wade and Yu to lead the substitutes, while Lin Fei and O'Neal sat on the bench, talking and laughing, waiting for the championship to be won.

"Lin, if you go to a new team next season, you will be the leader of the single-core team. It will be a matter of time before I win the MVP. When my contract with the Heat expires, I will join you and try to win another championship. By then, You can’t help but welcome me, brother!”

Faced with O'Neal's joke, Lin Fei chuckled and said: "Shaquille, of course it's no problem, as long as you don't mind the veteran's basic salary when the time comes!"

O'Neal said with an exaggerated expression: "If you can really lead this 39-year-old guy like me to win another championship, let alone the basic salary, I can give the team money!"

Although the Heat swept the Spurs 4-0 in last year's finals, the night of the championship was quite exciting. In the end, the Big Three relied on an incredible 35 seconds and 13 minutes to win the game.

In tonight's tiebreaker, the Heat were obviously much richer in this battle, leading by 29 points in the third quarter, and the suspense in the final quarter was almost eliminated.

What was supposed to be a thrilling tie-break turned out to be a massacre.
This naturally made David Stern, who was sitting on the sidelines, a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do about it.

It can only be said that the Heat are too strong now.

Although O'Neal's dominance may have declined compared to last season, Lin Fei and Wade's strength has improved to a higher level, roughly the same as Battier.

Especially Lin Fei, who came back after being suspended for 3 games, performed impeccably on both offense and defense tonight, truly demonstrating the high level of a superstar.

After three quarters, Lin Fei played 31 minutes, making 14 of 11 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He efficiently scored 39 points and 7 assists, plus 3 steals and 1 block.

If it weren't for the fact that the game had basically lost its suspense in the final quarter, it was definitely possible for Lin Fei to get another 50+ game if he played normally.

On the court at this time, the Mavericks naturally did not dare to lose the finals like this. In the final quarter, it was still the main lineup led by Nowitzki.

Ginobili took advantage of Lin Fei's absence and succeeded in successive breakthroughs on the offensive end, and also hit an outside three-pointer on the screen.

Nowitzki's touch also recovered somewhat, and he hit a three-pointer in roughly the same amount of time.

Although the Mavericks set off a small climax of chasing points, Wade on the Heat's side was not to be outdone. He continued to break through with strong attacks, making the Mavericks' penalty area defense uneasy.

The home whistle has always taken care of the Heat, and the referee has long since thought that the suspense of the game can be restored.

随着韦德站上罚球线的两罚全中，闪电侠今晚的个人得分也来到了30分，外加6篮板6助攻2抢断和2封盖。

Stimulated by the championship, the Heat's role players also dared to play hard. Alice's breakthrough and Murphy's jump shot made everyone excited.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Mavericks chased back and forth, but only recovered 5 points, and the point difference was still 24 points.Seeing that the Mavericks are running out of main players, the Heat can only keep one main player on the court to lead the game.

Stan Van Gundy did not blindly favor Wade to score points. In the subsequent long timeout, he replaced Wade with Lin Fei and O'Neal.

At the same time, several Heat water dispenser managers were also allowed to follow on the court to experience the atmosphere of the finals.

Seeing Lin Fei on the court again, the American Airlines Arena burst into cheers. The fans chanted Lin Fei's name in unison, shouting that we are here again to win the championship.

"Van Gundy finally has some humanity. This is Lin's last game for the Heat. How can he be allowed to clock out in three quarters? He must play until the end of the game!"

"Lin's time with the Heat can now only be measured in minutes and seconds!"

"The Big Three of the Heat are forever classics. I think they are even stronger than the Big Three of the Bulls in 96-98!"

On the court, Lin Fei came to the frontcourt with the ball, and with the help of a rough screen, he mismatched Nowitzki's defense.

The forceful thrust that lowered the center of gravity allowed Nowitzki to retreat quickly, and then suddenly made a double step back, returned to the three-point line and stood up, facing Nowitzki's lightning attack.

"Shh!"

No. 12.

Nowitzki clearly hit Lin Fei's wrist with this ball, but Joey Crawford's whistle did not sound.

Lin Fei's three-pointers are so damn accurate, it would be outrageous to give him a whistle every time.

After landing, Lin Fei spread his hands towards Nowitzki, smiled, shook his head and sighed:
"Dirk, thank you for giving me the opportunity to play in the tiebreaker. I look forward to next season and we can meet in the playoffs!"

Nowitzki has completely accepted the result of failure at this time. Even if a peak Jordan is parachuted to the Mavericks, it is impossible to recover 5 points in the last 27 minutes, right?
Although he did not respond directly to Lin Fei's words, Nowitzki felt extremely regretful in his heart.
The thing he regrets most in his NBA career so far is that he failed to seize that rare match point in Game [-] of the Finals.

In the Heat's subsequent attacks, Lin Fei did not score any more points, but tried his best to assist role players to score.

Monta Ellis, Dorell White, and Witt Simien are all rookie players in the past two years. It is quite an honor to play in the finals.

For these rookie players who have a low starting point, being able to score one more point in the finals will bring them huge self-confidence and even change their future careers.

The game quickly reached the last 2 minutes,

As Lin Fei sent out a steal on the defensive end, he assisted Dorell White to break through and dunk during the counterattack fast break.

"Boom!"

Heat (127): (103) Mavericks.

Still leading the Mavericks by 24 points, which completely sealed the victory of the game.

Mavericks coach Avery Johnson on the sidelines shook his head and sighed. He called a timeout with a wave of his hand, replaced the main players, and finally chose to surrender.

Stan Van Gundy also replaced Lin Fei and O'Neal.

林飞在职业生涯第一场总决赛抢七大战中，个人的数据也最终定格在了42分10助攻1篮板4抢断1封盖。

Countless fans in the auditorium on all sides of the American Airlines Arena stood up and cheered, waiting for the end of the game and the arrival of the championship.

Lin Fei walked off the court and hugged every Heat player and the coaching staff. Everyone could no longer contain their excitement.

After a season of hard work and hard work, especially the twists and turns in the finals, the Heat finally completed their title defense.
It became the sixth team in NBA history to successfully defend its title, following the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls and Houston Rockets.

Pat Riley, who was sitting in the front row, also got up and walked to the sidelines to hug the players and congratulate them.

Heat owner Mickey Arison was also full of joy. He quickly took the elevator downstairs from the luxury box on the roof of the stadium and prepared to participate in the championship award ceremony after the game.

On the other hand, looking at the Mavericks' bench, the players all had a look of loneliness on their faces. They were once so close to the championship, but they had no choice but to miss it.

This may become an eternal pain in the hearts of some players.

When the final whistle blew, the piercing buzzer sounded as beautiful as the sound of nature.
Lin Fei and the Heat players rushed to the center of the court together, welcoming the arrival of another championship trophy amidst the flowers and ribbons flying from the sky.

"Ahhh, championship, we are the championship!"

"Miami, I love you!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubbbbg," I'm so fucking moved, a rough guy like me, who hasn't shed tears in decades, actually couldn't hold back tonight!"

"Being able to witness the Heat win the championship at home will be a blessing in my life!"

At this time, the high-definition four-sided screen on the top of the tube also played footage of the Heat's victory at the Spurs' home court last season, as well as the 35 seconds and 13 minutes when the Big Three were crowned gods.

In the square outside the American Airlines Arena, tens of thousands of Heat fans were jumping and shouting.

Miami is destined to be sleepless tonight.

Qin Dongmei walked onto the court with a smile and hugged Lin Fei.

At this moment, both of them recalled the Target Center Arena two years ago. That day was Lin Fei's 20th birthday, and it was also the day Lin Qinlian was officially confirmed.

Although tonight is not the second anniversary, the excitement of winning again is far more meaningful than the second anniversary.

Seeing Lin Fei and Qin Dongmei hugging each other, Swift standing aside pouted her mouth, feeling somewhat lonely.

The Mavericks players had already rolled out of the court in advance, and the staff quickly set up a medal podium in the center of the court.

Heat players and coaching staff, as well as members of the front office and key staff, including owner Mickey Arison,
At this time, they all put on commemorative championship T-shirts and baseball caps with the 05-06 championship logo on them, and stood on the championship podium together.

The glittering O'Brien Cup and Bill Russell Cup were both pushed to the side of the podium at this time, exuding dazzling flames.

Amid the cheers of 5 Heat fans at home and more than [-] fans outside the court,
David Stern was still the first to say some polite words, thanking the runner-up Dallas Mavericks, and finally announced in a loud voice:

"Let us give our warmest applause and cheers to this season's championship winner: the Miami Heat!"

Surrounded by Wade and O'Neal, owner Arison and general manager Pat Riley also chose to stand aside and applaud.
Lin Fei was pushed to the front, and amid cheers from the sky, he took the heavy championship trophy from David Stern's hands and raised it high above his head:

"Championship, here we come again!"

The fans at the scene cheered hoarsely, shouting for the championship and FMVP.

Lin Fei was the first to hand the championship trophy to Wade beside him. This honor was passed on to every Heat player and coach.

Erin Andrews, as ESPN's chief reporter tonight, also interviewed Lin Fei, Wade, Heat owner and general manager Pat Riley.

"Lin, this is your third consecutive year to win the championship. This also makes you the first rookie player in NBA history to win the championship in the first three seasons of his career!"

"At this moment, do you have anything to share with the fans?"

Lin Fei put his hands on his hips and lowered his head slightly, smiled at the handed microphone and said:

"Although it is already the third time, it still feels great to win the championship. I am now looking forward to winning the championship for the fourth time!"

"Thank you to every one of my teammates in the Heat and to the fans in Miami. No matter where I am in the new season, you will always be my motivation on the court!"

Lin Fei's speeches were always inexplicably sensational, and many female fans at the scene couldn't help crying in joy.

With the awarding of the championship trophy, the next thing that Heat fans are more concerned about is the official ownership of this year's finals MVP.

Last year, O'Neal defeated Lin Fei 4:3 to win the Finals MVP, which caused huge controversy.

Who will be this year's Finals MVP among Wade and Lin Fei?
The voting results of the seven judges have already been produced, and Adam Joke also handed the note with the results to David Stern's hand.

At this time, on the podium, under the instigation of O'Neal, the Heat players pushed Wade and Lin Fei to the center.

There is no doubt that the finals MVP will definitely be produced between the two.

As David Stern opened the note and stared at the result, the entire American Airlines Arena fell silent for an instant. The fans were looking forward to the announcement of the result.

More than 2000 million Chinese fans are waiting in front of TV sets and mobile phones, also waiting for the final ownership of FMVP.

"There is no way, it will definitely be given to Wade again. In comparison, Wade this year is more competitive than O'Neal last year!"

“今晚的林飞42分10助攻，再度力压了韦德的32分7篮板6助攻，四场比赛场均得分超过了45分，但吃亏就吃在被禁赛了3场！”

"Phineas averaged more than 45 points per game in the four games of the Finals. This should be the highest scoring average in a single round of the Finals in the entire NBA history, right? Michael Jordan only averaged 1993 points per game in the 41 Finals. !”

"From the moment the FMVP was given to the Sharks last year, we should have understood that it no longer matters whether Lin Fei wins the Finals MVP or not!"

"Wade played all seven games and averaged 37.2 points per game. The other four statistics were equally comprehensive, with a shooting percentage of 55%. To be fair, Wade has the best chance to win the Finals MVP. Fei Ge was suspended due to the delay. ah!"

"It doesn't matter whether he wins it this year or not. When Lin Fei comes to his new club next season, he will directly win a Grand Slam and slap these NBA judges in the face!"

His eyes returned to the American Airlines Arena. After a brief silence, David Stern cleared his throat. Under the spotlight, he suddenly made a decision of the century.

Looking at the voting results of the seven judges on the note, David Stern tore up the note in his hand and announced loudly into the microphone:
"In the 2005-06 NBA Finals, the player who won the Finals MVP was: Lin Fei!"

When his name rang out from the president's mouth, Lin Fei was extremely shocked, and the first person beside him to hug him tightly was Dwayne Wade.

"Lin, congratulations to you, you deserve all this honor!"

The American Airlines Arena burst into cheers, and the fans chanted Lin Fei's name over and over again.

The seven finals MVP judges on the scene looked at each other and frowned.

Standing on the sidelines were Qin Dongmei, Taylor Swift, his wife Song Yang, Scarlett and Hilde, all excited and happy that Lin Fei could be crowned FMVP.
