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

Chapter 228 [228] Lin Fei’s miracle, a back-to-back battle with the golden spears!

As the on-site commentator, Reggie Miller was extremely excited. As the rightful owner of 9 seconds and 8 minutes, the former "Miller Miracle" finally eclipsed Lin Fei's 6 seconds and 8 minutes tonight.

Although they lost the game, most fans in the Target Center Arena were reluctant to leave. Many people took the initiative to stand up and applaud Lin Fei's 75-point performance.

"This is definitely the craziest individual scoring performance I have ever seen in the NBA. Thank you Lin, he made me still believe in miracles!"

"My God! I scored 29 points on 75 shots. This efficiency is simply incredible! You know, Kobe Bryant scored 81 points that year, but he took 46 shots!"

"With 15 three-pointers in a single game, Lin finally broke his own record of 14 three-pointers in a single game. In the field of NBA three-pointers, Lin is the only true god!"

At this time, the high-definition four-sided screen above the head of the arena was still playing a loop of Lin Fei's personal highlights of 75 points tonight.

It is also an honor for this arena to witness this unparalleled personal performance.

New York, Madison Square Garden.

The tens of thousands of New York fans gathered in the square outside the arena cheered excitedly. They were pleasantly surprised by Lin Fei's miraculous comeback with 75 points and were unwilling to leave for a long time.

"OMG, Lin is the real King of New York. Even Jordan at his peak couldn't achieve such terrifying dominance, right?"

"Lin is the youngest Mr. 50-pointer, the youngest Mr. 60-pointer and the youngest Mr. 70-pointer in the NBA at the same time. He is the most perfect scorer of this era!"

"With Lin here, will the Knicks still worry about not making the playoffs this season? What a joke!"

"Those bullshit experts actually ranked the Knicks' team strength 19th in the league. Are they now being slapped in the face by Lin Crazy?"

"I was also there to witness Kobe's 81-point miracle in a single game at the beginning of the year, but compared to Lin's 75 points tonight, Kobe's performance can only be inferior!"

"In the first three games of the new season, I scored 67 points in one game and 75 points in the other. It seems that if nothing else happens, Lin will definitely be the scoring champion this season!"

"Without Lin, Kevin will probably never have the chance to lead the Timberwolves to win another championship. At the critical moment, this guy's ability to attack tough situations is indeed a bit lacking, and he lacks the demeanor of a top superstar!"

In an office in the Empire State Building.

James Dolan took off his suit, with a cigar in his mouth and whiskey in his hand. He jumped excitedly, pointed at the game on the TV screen, and shouted excitedly:

"Did you see it? This is Lin's value. You are still laughing at me for why I built a statue for Lin in advance? Mader, all this is the glory he deserves!"

“全场75分、末节5分钟27分，最后6秒8分……OMG！这是属于林一个人的神迹，也是整个NBA历史上最伟大的一场比赛！”

"Peak Jordan is nothing. As long as Lin is here, the Knicks will definitely turn around. No one can force me to sell the team again!"

Seeing James Dolan's crazy look, two middle-aged white entrepreneur friends sitting aside were also surprised by Lin Fei's 75-point feast.

"Indeed, who would have thought that a yellow player from Asia could burst out with such terrifying energy?"

NBA headquarters, in the president's office.

Watching Lin Fei's 75-minute highlights on his laptop, David Stern was filled with emotion and at the same time felt proud.

Lin Fei, who is truly the boss of the team, is breaking all personal records in the NBA step by step with unlimited firing rights.

Is such crazy dominance on the field not worthy of an MVP trophy in the finals?
Those who originally questioned and attacked David Stern for awarding the FMVP trophy to Lin Fei regardless of the voting results should have shut up now, right?

Let’s take a look at LeBron James’ triple-double of 32 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in tonight’s game between the Cavaliers and Wizards.
This "little emperor" highly praised by the alliance is indeed comprehensive and has a promising future, but how can he compare with Lin Fei?

In terms of personal strength, honor and influence, James has been completely crushed by Lin Fei, and there is Dwayne Wade in the middle.

Nike Group's star-promoting plan ultimately failed in reality.

Washington, home of the Wizards.

James led the Cavaliers in an away game. After scoring 30+ triple-doubles, he helped the Cavaliers win the game 109:98. He was the well-deserved focus of the game.

After the first three games of the new season, James not only led the Cavaliers to three consecutive victories, but also had very comprehensive personal data, giving him a clear advantage in the competition for Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

The proud little emperor also talked freely at the post-match press conference and smiled happily in front of the media reporters.

"LeBron, what do you think about Lin scoring 75 points tonight against the Knicks and Timberwolves?"

Facing the reporter's sudden question, the smile on James' face suddenly stiffened, and his eyes widened in surprise:

"What happened? Did I hear you correctly? You said Lin...he scored 75 points?"

He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. One second, the little emperor was very proud of his 30+ triple pairs, but the next second he realized that the clown was actually himself.

On the same NBA game day, Kobe Bryant had 42 points, Steve Nash had 21 points and 19 assists, and Dwight Howard had 22 rebounds in a single game.
They were all record-breaking statistics, but they were eclipsed by Lin Fei's 75 points in a single game.

November 2006, 11, this day will eventually be remembered by countless NBA fans at home and abroad, and "Lin Fei's Miracle" is also completely known among the majority of fans.

ESPN's famous commentator "American Yang Yi" Stephen Smith made a live TV comment on Lin Fei's 75 points in a single game:

"When I was born, the Knicks won the championship, but until now, they have never been able to get back to the championship!"

"I originally thought that under the leadership of James Dolan, I might never see the Knicks win a championship again in my lifetime, but now Lin's arrival seems to have changed everything!"

"Lin is a great team leader. If the Knicks can actively strengthen and adjust the lineup, then within four years, the Knicks will have a chance to return to the championship discussion!"

Sports Illustrated:
#林一 battle caused a sensation in the world of basketball, analyzing the horrific statistics hidden behind 75 points in a single game#
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
#Lin’s 75 points in a single game rose to third place in NBA history, comparing the playing styles of Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant and Lin#
"New York Sports Morning News":
#The new king of New York is rising, the Knicks savior has a superb battle, and he completely defeated the Wolf King with 75 points in a single game#
In a special program on ESPN, "American Young Player" Stephen Smith, "Flying Pig" Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller and Patrick Ewing,

All were invited to the live broadcast room to discuss and analyze the influence and difficulty comparison between the three major single-game scoring miracles in NBA history.

Stephen Smith:

"James Dolan should indeed erect a statue in Lin's honor. Lin's 75-point game alone is enough to make him famous in Knicks history!"

“当年维尔特·张博伦出手63次拿到100分，科比出手46次拿到81分，两人的命中率都在60%左右！”

"And Lin's 75 points in a single game took only 29 shots, a super efficient 29 of 22 shots, and a terrifying 75% shooting rate!"

"The most important thing is that the Knicks reversed the Timberwolves in a desperate situation, which further reflects the value of Lin's 75 points!"

"Flying Pig" Charles Barkley:
"It's a pity that I couldn't commentate on the Knicks vs. Timberwolves game live, but I watched Lin's personal highlights no less than ten times!"

"In the history of the NBA, there has never been anyone who can dominate the game like Lin. His 75 points in a single game are not suspected of being a stat in the slightest!"

"Maybe Kobe Bryant's personal limit can only be 81 points, but Lin's limit will never stop at 75 points!"

Reggie Miller:

"No one has ever shot three-pointers like Lin. All three-pointers records in the NBA will eventually be written with Lin's name!"

"From the perspective of current service, Lin is obviously a better shooting guard than Kobe! In terms of personal honors, both of them have also won three championship trophies, but Lin's one FMVP trophy is enough for him to surpass Kobe!"

"If he can keep his career healthy, Lin is currently the most promising person to surpass the God of Basketball in terms of achievements and honors!"

Patrick Ewing:

"All of New York should be proud of Lin's arrival. As a Knicks legend, I think many of my records in team history may soon be broken one by one by Lin!"

"When a defender has a higher scoring percentage than a center, I think he will be the brightest focus on the court in any game!"

"The biggest regret of my entire career is that I couldn't bring a championship trophy to the New York fans. Now with Lin's arrival, I finally have the opportunity to realize my dream on my behalf!"

"Wirt Chamberlain scored 100 points in the game against the Knicks on behalf of Philadelphia, and now Lin will lead the Knicks to create more miracles!" Lin Fei returned to the Hilton Hotel where he stayed in Minnesota that night. My Nokia mobile phone received blessing text messages from Wade, O'Neal, Sugao, Dayao and many others.

No one will not understand the significance of Lin Fei's 75-point team comeback. Like Zhang Bolun's 100 points and Kobe Bryant's 81 points, they have become NBA myths.

The next morning, Lin Fei and the team flew quickly from Minnesota to the Denver Plateau on a special plane, where they would face the Denver Nuggets with Iverson and Anthony in back-to-back games.

Generally speaking, there are two definitions of back-to-back games in the NBA. One is to play two games in two consecutive days, and the other is to play two consecutive games at home between two teams.

The Knicks' current back-to-back series obviously belongs to the former.

The special plane landed at the Denver Plateau at an altitude of 1600 meters at noon. After only a few hours of rest, the Nuggets will be played intensively at the Pepsi Center Arena in the evening.

No matter in terms of energy or physical strength, this kind of back-to-back away games is a huge test for NBA players.

What's more, it's freezing cold in Denver today. Lin Fei, Ariza and others who just got off the plane even suffered from mild altitude sickness, dizziness and vomiting.

Isaiah Thomas was concerned about Lin Fei's health and planned to rest the main players back to back, but Lin Fei quickly adjusted and chose to stick to the game.

Lin Fei had just scored 75 points in a single game and then stopped playing back-to-back games. Lin Fei didn’t want to disappoint the fans.

After all, in any NBAd away arena nowadays, there will be more or less Lin Fei fans. They may have saved up for a long time to buy a cheap ticket in the back row.

The purpose is to witness the idol’s court style in person.

After further examination at the hospital, it was confirmed that Eddy Curry, who was hit by an elbow, had a moderate concussion and a slight fracture of his mandible. He is expected to be sidelined for at least 3-4 weeks.

Without starting center Eddie Curry, the challenge facing the Knicks is bound to be more difficult.

The reason why they were able to win the last game against the Timberwolves was, on the one hand, Lin Fei's superb performance, and on the other hand, the Timberwolves' pride and underestimation of the enemy, which gave the Knicks a chance to make a comeback.

If placed in a 7-game, 4-win series, it would be impossible for the Knicks to eliminate the Timberwolves with the current configuration.

NBA officials also issued additional penalties for Ron Artest: a five-game suspension and a fine of US$5.

Pepsi Center, 7 p.m.

The auditoriums on all sides were packed with people, and the attendance rate reached 100%.

For the Denver Nuggets in a small ball market, it is very rare to have 100% attendance during the regular season.

The joining of MVP star Allen Iverson has brought greater box office appeal to the Nuggets. At the same time, Lin Fei, who just scored 75 points, naturally attracted many fans to buy tickets.

"Did you watch the live broadcast of Lin's 75-point game? It's so unbelievable. The Timberwolves are a top team in the Western Conference. This made the Knicks turn around with 24 points in the last quarter. Lin's last 6 seconds and 8 points directly blew me away. I’m so stupid!”

"I'm not exaggerating, but Lin's personal performance of 75 points definitely beat Kobe's 81 points! The level of shock is not on the same level at all!"

"So what if we beat the Timberwolves? Tonight our Nuggets are sitting at the Devil's home court. With the golden guns, we must bring Lin and the Knicks back to their original form!"

"Kevin Garnett has always had this problem. He is fine in good times, but he always loses in adversity. The key goals are much worse than Tim and Dirk. Without Lin, I guess the Wolf King will never get it in his life. champion!"

In the audience at this time, Nuggets fans were still discussing Lin Fei's 75 points in a single game. This has obviously become the latest topic of conversation for fans everywhere.

During the warm-up session before the game, Lin Fei and Iverson also had a friendly chat with each other. They also came to a new team, and the two stars also had different visions for the new season.

Although Lin Fei led the Knicks to reverse the powerful Timberwolves in the Western Conference, in tonight's game between the Knicks and the Nuggets, many media experts are still more optimistic about the Nuggets winning.

The Knicks’ starting five are:
Point Guard (PG): Stephon Marbury,

Shooting guard (SG): Lin Fei,

Small Forward (SF): Trevor Ariza,

Power forward (PF): David Lee,

Center (C): Channing Frye.

Without Eddie Curry, Isaiah Thomas can only use Channing Frye as the starting center, and the Knicks' interior offense and defense are even more worrying.

The starting five for the Denver Nuggets are:

Point Guard (PG): Steve Blake,

Shooting Guard (SG): Allen Iverson,

Small forward (SF): Carmelo Anthony,

Power forward (PF): Kenyon Martin,

Center (C): Marcus Camby.

Comparing the starting lineups of the two teams, the overall strength of the Denver Nuggets clearly has the upper hand.

Except for Steve Blake, the four players in positions 2-5 are all the top three picks in previous drafts. The two No. [-] picks, the second pick, and the third overall pick are full of stars.

"Allen was the No. 96 pick in 00, Kenyon Martin was the No. 96 pick in 03, Marcus Camby was the No. [-] pick in [-], and Cameron was the No. [-] pick in [-]. Haha, the Nuggets' starting lineup is really high-ranking. !”

"Looking at the Knicks, the highest pick was Stephon Marbury's fourth pick in the first round of 96, David Lee was the 30th pick, Ariza was a second-round pick, and Lin was even undrafted!"

"Facts have once again proven that the level of draft picks is just the beginning. The NBA will never lack inspirational stories of counterattacks!"

After the game started, George Karl focused on the inside, instantly putting huge pressure on the Knicks' defense in the penalty area. Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby took turns to hit hard in the low post.

Iverson and Anthony also made more breakthroughs to the basket, constantly causing damage.

Lin Fei mainly defended Iverson, but Ariza was completely unable to limit Anthony's attacking kaleidoscope.

On the offensive end, due to the impact of back-to-back battles and altitude sickness, the Knicks were in poor condition at the start. Lin Fei missed his first three-point shot from the outside.

A subsequent layup that broke through the basket also missed the frame.

He missed two consecutive shots in the opening game. This was the first time in Lin Fei's NBA career.

Fortunately, the Nuggets' outside defense is also weak. Neither Iverson nor Anthony can reach the defensive level of Artest and Gerrard.

Halfway through the first quarter, Lin Fei gradually regained his touch and hit three three-pointers in a row within 2 minutes, directly stopping the Nuggets.

George Karl replaced JR Smith and stalked Lin Fei on the defensive end.

Channing Frye committed two fouls early in the paint, and Isaiah Thomas had to replace Jerome James.

Although Lin Fei missed the shot, the other Knicks players always felt cold, like the snow falling outside the Pepsi Arena.

Beat the first quarter.

Knicks (21): (33) Nuggets.

Directly behind by 12 points.

The Nuggets not only have a clear advantage in the paint, but Iverson and Anthony are also in hot form. The two are obviously still in their honeymoon period. Even if they are not tactically compatible, their personal strength is enough to make up for it.

What's more, Lin Fei just scored 75 points, a miracle that shocked the league. As NBA first-line stars, the two of them were naturally inspired to have stronger fighting spirit tonight.
