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

A tense and suffocating atmosphere filled every corner of the Target Center Arena.

The Timberwolves fans at home looked at each other with mixed emotions of shock and surprise.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fei descended from heaven at the last moment and made unstoppable shots. He used a 69-point performance to destroy the Timberwolves' huge lead.

"OMG, is all this true? Am I really not dreaming? Lin actually... actually scored 69 points?"

"I remember that at the beginning of the last quarter, we were leading by 24 points at most. In the last 190 minutes, we were leading by 24 points, and now we are unexpectedly overtaking? How on earth did Kevin become the boss?"

"Lin scored 5 consecutive points in the last 21 minutes or so of the final quarter. Oh my God, such a terrifying scoring efficiency. This genius once helped the Timberwolves win the first championship in team history!"

"Now we finally realize the fear of the Los Angeles Lakers being dominated by Lin's three-pointers in the 04 Western Conference Finals!"

"The Lin now is no longer the Lin three years ago. His strength has been elevated to a whole new level!"

"When can Lin return to the Timberwolves? With him and Kevin teaming up, the strongest combination of inside and outside, the Timberwolves will definitely be invincible in the entire league!"

"Brothers, although there are only 6.2 seconds left in the game, why am I still expecting Lin to break through 70+? I am a Timberwolves fan, so if I think so, no one will beat me, right?"

"Dude, you're not alone!"

In a luxurious box on the roof of the stadium, Timberwolves boss Glenn Taylor sat condescendingly on the sofa, with a cigar in his mouth and a deep and powerful gaze.

Lin Fei scored 69 points tonight and led the team to a miraculous comeback in the last 6.2 seconds, once again refreshing Glen Taylor's understanding of the limits of a basketball player.

Even Michael Jordan at his peak, the basketball god who led the Bulls to six championships in the 90s, had never given Glen Taylor such a powerful shock and impact.

Choosing to sign Lin Fei with a minimum salary in the 03-04 season can be said to be the greatest decision in the history of the Timberwolves.

Letting Lin Fei go after winning the championship in 04 was also the worst choice in the history of the Timberwolves.

If God gives Glen Taylor another chance, he will not hesitate to choose to build a team around Lin Fei, even if Kevin Garnett protests.

If the strength of the peak "Wolf King" has reached the S level among league superstars, then Lin Fei has at least reached the SS level, or even higher!

Glen Taylor is a boss who is nostalgic and has never given up his pursuit of Lin Feixin.

There is an old saying in China: fallen leaves return to their roots.

So Glen Taylor has always been looking forward to Lin Fei returning to Minnesota in the future, putting on the Timberwolves' No. 22 jersey again, and ending his great career here.

But in tonight's game, Glenn Taylor naturally did not want to see his team reversed by Lin Fei alone. He was looking forward to the team's counterattack in the last 6.2 seconds.

On the court, a 20-second pause is fleeting.

The main players of the two teams returned to the court, and the Timberwolves served a sideline ball in the frontcourt.

The person responsible for serving the ball from the sideline is Ricky Davis, and the Wolf King, Gerald Wallace and Szebiak have all piled up under the basket in the penalty area at this time.
The Timberwolves have an obvious advantage inside, so McHale obviously arranged a tactic of making a high-altitude alley-oop under the basket.

Isaiah Thomas also replaced the strong offensively weak Crawford with heavy-weight center Jerome James, and cooperated with Channing Frye and Lin Fei to interfere with the Timberwolves receiving the ball under the basket.

As expected, Ricky Davis threw the ball directly over the penalty area, and several inside players under the basket instantly scrambled for it.

"Snapped!"

Jerome James was too big. Not only did he not block Garnett, he also delayed Channing Frye's turn, which was a complete disservice.

Although Lin Fei withstood Gerald Wallace, the "Wolf King"'s height, wingspan, incredible jumping and rich experience still had the absolute upper hand at the basket.

I saw Garnett leaping up among the crowd, grabbing the basketball first, and dunking the ball directly into the basket through Channing Frye.

"Boom!"

Amidst the loud noise, the referee signaled that the Wolf King's dunk was valid for two points, and the time on the timer was fixed at the last 5.6 seconds.

Knicks (126): (127) Timberwolves.

The scene was filled with cheers and shouts. The Wolf King's alley-oop dunk was so fierce and unstoppable that it only took 0.6 seconds to help the Timberwolves overtake again.

Isaiah Thomas quickly called the Knicks' last 20-second pause and arranged the final kill.

The ball will naturally go to Lin Fei, no matter how tight the Timberwolves' defense is.

"At the critical moment, the Timberwolves' inside advantage was fully demonstrated, and Kevin's alley-oop dunk looked very easy!"

"As for why it wasn't a countdown, I think McHale is still a little wary of Lin's defensive ability, so when he finds an opportunity, it's safer to score as soon as possible!"

"Now the pressure is all on the Knicks. In the last 5.6 seconds, will Lin continue to create new miracles?"

In front of the live commentary desk, Mike Breen and Thunderbolt Miller were spitting and in high spirits. They had not commented on such an exciting and exciting game for a long time.

“Regardless of the final outcome, I believe tonight’s game will be unforgettable for me and every fan present!”

"Instead of saying this is a decisive battle between the Knicks and the Timberwolves, it is better to say that this is a decisive battle between Lin alone and the entire Timberwolves team!"

"Lin has already scored 69 points. Will he still have a chance to break 70+ tonight?"

On the court, the timeout came back quickly.

Amid the suffocating heartbeats of every fan present, the Knicks came to the frontcourt sideline to serve.

What the Timberwolves' defense didn't expect was that the Knicks actually chose to let Lin Fei serve the sideline ball.

Obviously, if it is not Lin Fei who serves, then the Timberwolves will send at least two players to chase Lin Fei and do everything possible to interfere with his receiving.
At the same time, let Garnett guard the basket alone and let go of other Knicks players' mid- and long-range shots. If he makes a buzzer-beating shot, he can only admit defeat.

Kevin McHale was completely frightened by Lin Fei's 69-point performance tonight, especially his 5-point performance in the last 21 minutes of the final quarter.

Therefore, even if other Knicks players are left open for a kill, Lin Fei must not be allowed to catch the ball again.

But now that the Knicks are serving Lin Fei, the Timberwolves chose to let Gerald Wallace and Ricky Davis approach the sideline to interfere with Lin Fei's serve.
At the same time, be prepared to keep an eye on the opponent's movement after Lin Fei serves the ball and not give him a chance to catch the ball again.

"Whoosh!"

Marbury cross-covered with Ariza on the right and quickly ran out of an open position near the top of the arc.

Lin Fei 99 has a keen insight into the passing attributes, and the ball was accurately passed to Marbury's hands.

At the same time, Lin Fei also ran quickly from outside the baseline toward the left at a 0-degree angle. His speed was very fast, and he reached the three-point line in the bottom corner in an instant.

At this time, the two Knicks insiders, the 300-pound Jerome James and the 2.11-meter-tall Channing Frye, were holding hands and forming a semi-arc in this blind corner.
Lin Fei was completely wrapped in the corner and separated from Gerald Wallace and Ricky Davis who were quickly catching up.

Marbury got the ball at the top of the arc and broke through the basket. Facing Garnett's defense, he accurately passed the ball to Lin Fei, who was separated at a zero angle on the left.

Marbury's pass had a high arc and flew perfectly over the heads of the defender and two pick-and-roll teammates.

Lin Fei jumped up high to catch the basketball. With the help of the hand-in-hand half-arc cover of his two inside teammates, he quickly took off a second time after touching the ground with his feet. He deliberately raised his shot height and shot another three-pointer.

Gerald Wallace was too impatient to defend, and felt that the Knicks' half-arc screen was completely illegal, so he directly bumped into Jerome James on the pick-and-roll, hoping to hit him from the air, and took advantage of the situation. He also knocked down Lin Fei who was shooting.

However, the basketball had already flown out of Lin Fei's fingertips, streaking through the air in a wonderful arc, whizzing towards the basket.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded first, and Gerald Wallace was whistled for a defensive collision foul.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of brushing the net followed immediately. At the last moment of the game, Lin Fei hit his 15th three-pointer tonight.

At the same time, five players from the two teams in the left corner collided in confusion. Lin Fei also fell on his back outside the baseline after landing.

The referee blew the whistle and Lin Fei's three-point shot preceded Gerald Wallace's off-ball foul, so the goal was valid.

Knicks (129): (127) Timberwolves.

At the same time, Gerald Wallace fouled Jerome James and left the field with six fouls. Lin Fei's three-pointer was valid, and Jerome James added an additional free throw.

Lin Fei, who was knocked down outside the baseline, hit his back on the seats of the front row spectators. He felt some pain, but it was not serious.

Seeing the referee indicating that the goal was valid, Lin Fei also slammed his fist on the court floor with excitement.

Timberwolves players on and off the court and head coach Kevin McHale were very dissatisfied with the referee's decision and rushed to question the Knicks' illegal screen in the corner.But the penalty has been issued. Lin Fei's superb three-pointer from the corner that has gone down in history, including the Knicks' crazy probing on the edge of the illegal screen, are destined to become classics.

On the timer, the time was frozen at the last 2.9 seconds of the final quarter.

The Knicks' crazy tactical arrangement this time took less than 3 seconds from Lin Fei's serve to his catch.

No one could have imagined that such a twisting and tense plot would happen in the last 6.2 seconds of the game.

"My God! 72 points! Lin surpassed David Robinson and Elgin Baylor, and his personal highest score in a single game rose to No. 4 in history!"

"This was a magical three-pointer from the corner. The two Knicks insiders held hands and completely surrounded Lin, forming a semi-arc barrier!"

"Although this cover tactic was suspected of being a foul, it contributed to the most classic three-pointer in NBA history!"

"OMG, Lin also hit his 15th three-pointer tonight, officially breaking his two-season record of 14 three-pointers in a single game!"

"The Knicks lead the Timberwolves by 2 points. With Jerome James taking an extra penalty, both teams have no timeouts. It is almost impossible for the Timberwolves to reverse the victory!"

The Knicks' bench had already exploded. The bench players jumped up and cheered, celebrating this crazy super reversal.

Isaiah Thomas was so excited that he almost burst into tears. With Lin Fei as a tiger player, he might be able to win the best head coach award this season.

The big fat Jerome James, who has always had little presence in the team, made a screen and stepped to the free throw line at the last critical moment, which has indeed become the highlight of his career.

The fans of the Timberwolves at Target Center Arena, while marveling at Lin Fei's 72-point performance, were also worried about the Timberwolves' situation.

The problem now is that the Timberwolves no longer have any timeouts. Even if Jerome James misses the free throw, the Timberwolves protect the defensive rebounds.
But it is obviously very difficult to quickly advance from the backcourt in the last 2.9 seconds to complete a winning goal or a tie.

"Bang!"

Jerome James, who stepped to the free throw line, lived up to expectations and missed the extra penalty.

"Snapped!"

Kevin Garnett jumped up under the basket and grabbed the rebound first over Channing Frye.

In order to quickly advance the counterattack, Garnett caught the ball in the air and had no time to land. He used his strong core strength to pass the ball directly to Ricky Davis who was counterattacking quickly at the top of the arc.

Under the limit of the last 2.9 seconds, the entire Timberwolves team was in a tense atmosphere, and Garnett's pass to grab the rebound was risky enough.

"Snapped!"

Lin Fei, who flew up from the right side of the arc, once again accurately predicted the situation on the court, struck out with his long arms, and flew in to complete the steal just before Ricky Davis caught the ball.

"Snapped!"

Lin Fei's eyes were already red as he picked up the basketball. His hands were so hot that he had no time to think about spending the last time.

Instead, he took advantage of the chaotic situation where the Timberwolves failed to counterattack, dribbled straight to the basket, used a screen from Channing Frye, stepped up sideways, and threw the ball toward the basket with his low hand.

Garnett reacted quickly and quickly turned around to defend, but in the end he was still half a beat too late.

The basketball flew past Garnett's fingertips and hit the net at a precise angle.

"Shh!"

At the same time, Garnett's body directly knocked down Lin Fei who was flying for a layup, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.

"Beep!"

2+1.

Lin Fei fell to the floor outside the baseline, clenching his fists and roaring:

"Kevin, I will definitely win this game tonight! Even God can't stop me!"

There were exclamations and screams from the spectators on all sides. The Knicks bench players and head coach on the sidelines jumped up crazily and waved towels, shouting until their voices were hoarse.

Knicks (131): (127) Timberwolves.

On the timer, there are only 0.9 seconds left before the end of the game.

With a 4-point difference, it is no longer possible for the Timberwolves to have another miracle happen.

In the live broadcast room of Tianchao 2, Lin Fei successfully stole the ball in the last 2 seconds and made a layup to score 1+[-].

Director Zhang and Yu Jia both screamed and jumped up, hugging each other in great excitement.

"Depend on……"

Director Zhang even couldn't help shouting out the quintessence of Chinese culture in excitement, completely ignoring the commentary image of the live game.

"74 points! Oh my God, Lin Fei is completely crazy. This is 74 points!"

"Although according to the situation of the game, Lin Fei should have chosen to use up the last time after completing this steal!"

"But what does it all matter? He probably only has eyes for the basket at the moment! He only thinks about scoring, scoring, and fucking scoring!"

"This is an unparalleled personal performance! 74 points is already the third highest score in a single game in NBA history, second only to Wilt Chamberlain's 100 points and Kobe Bryant's 81 points!"

"This is definitely the most awesome NBA personal killer performance I have ever seen, no one, no one, no one!"

"This night, Lin Fei will let the whole world remember his name!"

Looking back at the Target Center Arena, with Lin Fei's extra free throw, his personal score tonight was fixed at 75 points.

The Timberwolves had a quick start from the bottom line. Sizebiak faced Ariza's interference and threw a long three-pointer from the backcourt at the buzzer. The basketball flew directly over the steel backboard and out of the court.

Immediately after the red light came on, a harsh buzzer sounded in front of the technical stage, and the game was over.

Knicks (132): (127) Timberwolves.

Under Lin Fei's crazy performance of 75 points, the Knicks completed an unprecedented comeback in NBA history.

Amid the exclamations of the fans in the audience, the Timberwolves players walked towards the tunnel with their heads lowered. Even though they were good friends, Garnett was still unwilling to admit such a humiliating way of losing.

Looking at the Knicks players, they were all surrounding Lin Fei at this time, celebrating their victory crazily.

Everyone hugged each other, bumped each other's chests, jumped up and raised their hands in the air, and shouted hysterically.

"OMG! Lin, we actually won? We really won!"

"Fuck the Timberwolves, victory belongs to our Knicks!"

"Oh my God, Lin, do you know how many points you scored tonight? You must have taken stimulants!"

"I think it's the soldier serum!"

Lin Fei was sweating profusely and panting heavily, leaning on Marbury's arms. He had exhausted his last bit of energy in order to win the game.

Although 38 minutes of playing time is not that much, in the last 5 minutes of chasing points, Lin Fei used continuous singles and a high workload, which caused a huge consumption of physical energy.

Fortunately, the Knicks won the game, and Lin Fei's feat of scoring 5 points in the last 27 minutes of the final quarter was not in vain.

"This victory should be given to this guy Eddy Curry. I hope his injury is not as serious as imagined!"

Isaiah Thomas hugged several assistant coaches on the sidelines one by one. This reversal is of great significance to the Knicks, and it also injected a shot in the arm into the Devils' 6-game away streak.

The 2003-04 championship flag fluttering in the wind on the roof of the stadium seemed to have become more brilliant and exciting because of witnessing Lin Fei's 75-point performance.

In front of the commentary desk on the sidelines, Mike Breen and Lightning Miller were even more passionate, quickly flipping through various data, and finally summed up the historical significance of Lin Fei's 75-point feast:

“林在全场出战38分钟的情况下，合计29投22中，三分球20中15，两分球9中7，罚球16中16，狂轰75分8助攻2篮板5抢断1封盖！”

"Led the Knicks to complete a 24-point comeback in the final quarter!"

"This is a miraculous personal performance, especially Lin's 5 points in 27 minutes and 6 points in the last 8 seconds in the final quarter. It will forever become a classic moment in the NBA!" (End of Chapter)
