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

Chapter 284 [284] A record-breaking home victory in assists, seeking justice for fellow fans!

Hundreds of security personnel were guarding the perimeter of the arena, ready with guns in hand.

Soon, the New York fans in the auditorium on all sides began to panic, whispering among themselves.

"What is going on? Why did so many security guards suddenly come out?"

"It's over. Someone outside the venue just sent me a text message, saying that there were gangsters outside with guns who killed people! It was probably an attack by a terrorist organization!"

"Terrorist organization? Don't make such a fucking joke. The security at Madison Square Garden is so good, how could a terrorist sneak in?"

"Are the police in New York just for free? Is it crazy to let terrorists sneak into Madison Square Garden with guns?"

Some fans in the seats began to panic and even stood up to evacuate, but were forced to control them by security personnel.

"Don't create panic. It's not a terrorist at all. I heard it was just an ordinary black fan who chose to shoot because of a dispute!"

"All niggas should get out of New York, they are the cause of crime!"

Many star fans in the front row were also panicked. No one would remain calm in the face of death threats.

After all, it is relatively easy to go through the security check to secretly carry a gun outside Madison Square Garden, but it is naturally much more difficult to enter the arena with a gun.

The originally fanatical atmosphere outside the stadium has become extremely chaotic due to the tragic shooting incident, and people are panicking.

"This commercial has been airing for more than half an hour, why hasn't it been cut into the live broadcast room? The commentators have to give a reason why the game can't be played, right?"

"This shooting tragedy seems destined to give tonight's game a different meaning!"

"I heard outside that five people died and dozens more were trampled and injured. Oh my god, how could it be so serious?"

Lin Fei has also played in the NBA for four seasons in the United States. As a country with free gun ownership, he would naturally be too surprised by such shootings and homicides.

"It seems that there has never been an example of a shooting or homicide outside the game in the NBA? Logically speaking, the game should continue to be played, otherwise it will only be half played. Does the score count?"

The 9000 million Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV were even more unclear about the specific reason why the game was suspended for such a long time, and they began to speculate:

"What's going on? The game has been suspended for almost an hour and it's still not starting? Could it be that something big happened off the field?"

Lin Fei can only pray now, hoping that nothing will happen to any Chinese fans. After all, according to relevant reports, there are not a few domestic die-hard fans who came to New York from China for this NBA Finals.

James Dolan will face a huge loss if the game is abandoned due to an accidental shooting.

This post first appeared on the New Wolf sports forum platform, and it immediately attracted tens of thousands of fans to reply and spread the word.

After all, in the entire history of the NBA, there has never been such a tragic shooting incident outside the arena during a game.

However, most of the well-educated star fans still try to maintain rational thinking and try not to cause a stampede after the riot despite the large influx of security and police.

The key is that this finals has always been suspended due to the sudden shooting incident. It is still unclear whether the game can be resumed tonight until the end.

As the armed criminals fled and the panic gradually dissipated, the fierce game had been suspended for more than half an hour. Fans in the arena also began to protest, calling for the game to resume as soon as possible.

Eddie Curry couldn't help but yawned. It seemed that he didn't sleep well last night again.

But there are still many fans who are unwilling to leave the scene and hope to watch G3 of the finals outside the arena.

"I just received news from my friends in New York that a shooting massacre occurred outside Madison Square Garden. I heard that several people were killed and the gunman has absconded!"

The armed suspect had fled quickly, and a large number of security guards and police also worked together to surround Madison Square Garden, trying to maintain the order of the riot and rescue and control the stampede.

But tonight's finals G3 in New York was so hot. The density of more than 8 fans outside the stadium was ridiculously high. More than ten gunshots were enough to scare everyone out of their wits.

Although the shooting incident is not necessarily directly related to the NBA game itself, it was also caused by conflicts caused by fans outside the court watching the game, so a serious and thorough investigation must be carried out.

In such a crowded auditorium on all sides, if someone really shoots with a gun, every fan may become a bloody living target.

After half an hour of police handling, the panic and commotion was finally brought under control. However, in addition to the five or six people injured or killed in the shooting incident,

Dozens of people were injured due to the commotion and stampede, and they were all taken to the hospital by ambulance for rescue treatment.

"I have been watching the NBA for almost ten years, and I have never encountered such a long pause. The Auburn Hills Palace incident was not like this, right?"

Stephen Marbury was born in the slums of New York since he was a child. Shootings and murders are commonplace. The name of Sin City has made him feel numb to this shooting tragedy.

"No, the game must be played to the end. I'm still waiting for Lin to explode. I bought a ticket for one game. How can I only watch half of it?"

But Lin Fei is still worried. The people who were killed must be the Knicks and his fans with a high probability. It is really sad to be innocently killed like this.

Under the orderly evacuation of police personnel, nearly half of the 80,000 fans evacuated Madison Square Garden and returned to their homes and hotels. The original scene of the shooting was preserved and sealed off.

David Stern, who was at the league headquarters one kilometer away, soon received the news of the mass shooting at Madison Square Garden and was shocked and angry.

"Can we still play this game? I'm so fucking sleepy!"

Compared with the relatively stable order inside the arena, there was much turmoil in the square outside the arena.

"Fortunately, I was born in China. A country like the United States, where guns are freely available, is so fucking dangerous! You could be shot in the head at any time while walking on the road!"

Especially among these fans, more than two-thirds are foreign tourists, who are naturally even more sensitive and afraid of shooting incidents.

Knicks owner James Dolan, who was sitting in the box on the roof of the stadium, was furious and cursed the security personnel and the New York State Police for their poor handling.

"I don't care how many people die, don't shootings happen every day in New York? Isn't it normal? I paid to watch the game, and the game will continue to be played tonight!"

Judging from the gunshot marks and casualties at the crime scene, the possibility of a terrorist attack can basically be ruled out.

In front of the benches of the two teams, the players of the Knicks and Timberwolves began to wait a little anxiously and bored.

"It's okay not to play. Since the Knicks are now in the lead, let's just declare the Knicks the winner!"

"What? There was a shooting outside the arena? Isn't it? In a city as big as New York, people who kill people just kill people? Or in the first arena in the United States in public?"

In front of the technical table on the sidelines, the staff in charge of the game, the referee, and the head coaches of the two teams were still discussing, waiting for news from the police outside the court.

"Now that it's safe, let's start the game as soon as possible. I spent more than 10,000 US dollars on the tickets. If the game is not played, the money must be refunded!"

"There was a shooting outside the midfield in the third game of the NBA Finals. This was a big stunt. Could it have been a Timberwolves fan who shot Knicks fans out of anger?"

"Can those upstairs have some sympathy? Don't forget that there are many compatriots from China who are going to New York's Madison Square Garden to watch the game this time!"

"What's wrong with me just hating the rich? If I don't stay at home and have money to go to New York to watch the game, if anything happens to me, I'm totally asking for it!"

"There is really nothing good about the United States. I don't understand why so many people want to go abroad to get a green card. If it weren't for the NBA, I would have no good impression of the United States at all!"

"Let the game start quickly, the Knicks will win tonight!"

After pressure and discussion from many parties, the game was suspended for nearly an hour and finally resumed.

Knicks (75): (56) Timberwolves.

On the timer, the time of the third quarter was fixed at 6 minutes and 12 seconds.

After the timeout, the Timberwolves were still attacking from the frontline, with 7 seconds left in the attack time.

After Garnett got the ball in the high post, he missed a big jump shot facing the frame, and Olowokandi's tip-in was interfered by Eddie Curry.

"Bang!"

"Snapped!"

The defensive rebound was controlled by Eddie Curry. After receiving the ball, Lin Fei quickly launched a counterattack.

The game was suspended for nearly an hour, allowing the players of both teams to fully recover their physical fitness, but at the same time they also felt significantly cooler.

"Bang!"

Lin Fei stepped out of Gerald Wallace's pursuit and shot a three-pointer, and the basketball also popped out of the frame.

The two sides started a fight that lasted for nearly 2 minutes. In the end, the "Wolf King" Garnett possessed the murderous spirit and forced his way to the basket, causing Eddy Curry's shooting foul.

"Shh!"

"Whoa!" Garnett stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws, leading the Timberwolves to gradually regain their finals status.

After handling a tragic off-field shooting, the mentality of the players from both teams was somewhat affected at this time.

Lin Fei, who came to the frontcourt, ran without the ball to receive Marbury's pass. Fainting in the face of Gerald Wallace's defense, he forced a shot against the opponent and tilted his body to shoot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

The basketball stumbled into the net, followed by the referee's whistle.

3+1.

Gerald Wallace, who had lost his wife and lost his troops, also shook his head helplessly. This was already the fourth foul he had picked up on Lin Fei tonight.

The atmosphere inside Madison Square Garden became fanatical again. New York fans shouted "MVP" and sent Lin Fei to the free throw line.

"Shh!"

With Lin Fei's 4-point success, the Knicks' lead also reached 20 points.

At the critical moment, Szebiak stood up and hit the three-pointer behind the screen from the outside and Garnett.

"Shh!"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Fei also made a mistake in his pass after being double-teamed in the frontcourt. Eddie Curry in the low post failed to catch the ball securely, and the ball was directly intercepted by Garnett.

"Snapped!"

The Timberwolves counterattacked with a fast break, Carlos Arroyo made a great move, and the European step got rid of Marbury who was returning to defense and scored a layup.

"Shh!"

The Timberwolves hit a 5-0 spurt, bringing the point difference back to 16 points.

However, Lin Fei quickly stabilized the situation after returning to the offensive end. He used the pick-and-roll to break through the basket and attract double teams, and passed the ball to Ariza in the corner. The latter caught the ball and hit a three-pointer again.

"Shh!"

Ariza made 6 of 4 open three-pointers tonight. He changed his usual image of Tieza and played an extremely efficient performance.

Throughout the third quarter, Lin Fei sent out 7 assists in a single quarter, leading the Knicks team to continue the enthusiasm of everyone, and was not affected by the off-field shooting tragedy.

His teammates played well, and Lin Fei was naturally happy to provide a few more adult gifts. With 16 assists in three quarters, he had already broken his personal assist record in the finals ahead of schedule.

The Timberwolves are playing away tonight and still take the initiative in defense and rebounding, but while strictly guarding Lin Fei, it is difficult to restrict the performance of the Knicks' role players.

Just in time to catch up tonight, Marbury, Eddie Curry, David Lee, Ariza and Nate Robinson and Quentin Richardson on the bench all performed well.

This has led to the dilemma of the Timberwolves inevitably falling behind and unable to catch up.

"The Knicks' collective state is so hot tonight. The team's overall shooting percentage exceeds 50%, and the accuracy of open shots is close to 70%. Even if the Timberwolves have the upper hand, it will be difficult to beat them!"

"It seems that our own basket is easier to shoot. The Timberwolves are now 17 points behind the Knicks. If they want to complete the comeback in the final quarter, there is still a chance, but it is very difficult!"

"However, the NBA will never lack miracles, especially in the finals. G1 Lin led the Knicks to complete a 21-point reversal in the last quarter at Target Center Arena. Will Kevin Garnett lead the Timberwolves to fight back tonight? let us wait and see!"

After the final quarter started, the Timberwolves' main force had no time to rest for another minute. Garnett, Gerald Wallace, Ray Allen and others all came on the court, aiming to make the final sprint for the reversal.

For the Knicks, Isaiah Thomas still plans to let Lin Fei rest for about 2 minutes in the final quarter. After all, the team's lead is not small, and the initiative is still in hand to play steadily.

But it was precisely because of Lin Fei's two minutes of rest off the court that the Timberwolves quickly launched a scoring climax.

Especially Ray Allen, who was completely restricted by Lin Fei in the first three quarters and only scored 2 points. In the last quarter, he saw that Lin Fei's defense was gone and he quickly broke out in the face of Quentin Richardson.

On the offensive end, there was a three-pointer after a run to catch the ball, and then he hit the penalty area at a 45-degree angle during a breakthrough and succeeded in a layup.

"Shh!"

Then Ray Allen completed another steal on the defensive end and assisted Gerald Wallace for a dunk in the counterattack fast break.

"Boom!"

He scored 5 points, 1 assist and 1 steal in a row. Ray Allen fully demonstrated the responsibility and responsibility of the second leader of the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves quickly recovered the point difference to 11 points.

Knicks (90): (79) Timberwolves.

In the Tianchao commentary team on the second floor, Director Zhang also praised Lin Fei's defense by praising Ray Allen's defense.

"If you want to say who is the second-in-command of this Timberwolves team, after all, Ray Allen is more senior and capable. He was not selected as an All-Star this season, mainly because he was traded in the middle of the season!"

"In his career, he has made 6 All-Star appearances and 2 All-season appearances, once on the 2nd team and once on the 1rd team. Although he is slightly inferior to the four major shooting guards, Ray Allen has always been the league's top shooting guard!"

"After joining the Timberwolves this season, Ray Allen has gradually adapted to his role in the team. His scoring average has stabilized at around 20 points per game, his three-point shooting rate exceeds 40%, and he also works hard on the defensive end!"

"Although in the first three quarters tonight there was little opportunity to perform under Lin Fei's strict defense, once Lin Fei was away, Ray Allen's explosive scoring power quickly showed up. This is the style of a star!"

"It seems that Isaiah Thomas should let Lin Fei play again as soon as possible, otherwise Ray Allen will really go crazy and this game will be difficult to predict!"

Many New York fans at the home court also made fun of Ray Allen, mocking the opponent for having to take advantage of Lin Fei's absence to rack up statistics.

After the timeout, with Lin Fei re-appearing, Ray Allen quickly misfired. His three-point shot after using the screen to catch the ball in the frontcourt was also effectively interfered by Lin Fei's defense, and he made a three-pointer.

In the subsequent defense, Lin Fei also directly stole the ball that Garnett passed to Ray Allen, counterattacked with a long pass in the fast break, assisted Marbury in running to the basket, and scored two more points with a flying layup.

"Shh!"

Marbury has scored 29 points, 6 assists and 2 steals, and made 19 of 12 shots. He scored the highest score on the team tonight and played a personal representative battle in the finals.

Lin Fei also contributed his 17th assist tonight, continuing to set a new record for assists in a single game in the finals.

"The Knicks' performance tonight lived up to the enthusiastic support of their home fans and played wonderful team basketball!"

"Although Lin's 23 points tonight are not many, his 17 assists are a new personal high in the finals. He is only 22 away from the record of 5 assists in a single game in the finals set by "Magic" Johnson!"

With double digits, Kevin Garnett was ultimately unable to shoulder the important task of continuously helping the team chase points at critical moments.

At this point, the Wolf King is obviously inferior to Nowitzki, who has the unique skill of the Golden Rooster.

There is no doubt about Garnett's comprehensiveness on both offense and defense and in five statistics. He can be said to be the most comprehensive power forward in NBA history. His support is better than Duncan and Malone, and his blocking and defense are better than Nowitzki and Barkley. .

But purely in terms of scoring ability on the offensive end and the accuracy of scoring at critical moments, Garnett is not considered the top player in the league.

The highest score in a single game of his career is only 47 points, and there is no 50+ game. From this point, it can be seen that the Wolf King lacks top scoring ability.

In addition, Ray Allen was restricted by Lin Fei's defense, and Gerald Wallace and Szebiak were only All-Star substitute players after all.

The Timberwolves have a very luxurious lineup, but they lack a super scorer like Lin Fei and Kobe Bryant, making it difficult to lead the team to turn the tide at critical moments.

最终，在林飞全场28分19助攻4抢断2封盖的带动下，尼克斯在主场打出高效表现，119：101大胜森林狼，把总决赛的大比分改写成了2：1。

Led by Lin Fei's 19 assists, the entire Knicks team was in hot form and played as well as Madison Square Garden. Six players scored in double figures. Stephon Marbury even scored 6 points, seven assists and two steals. data.

With a big score of 2:1, the next fourth game will still be played at Madison Square Garden. Zach Randolph, who has been suspended for two games, will also make his return. The situation of the finals has changed dramatically. , the Knicks' championship momentum is very good.

After the game, Lin Fei also learned from Qin Dongmei for the first time that in this shooting tragedy outside the stadium, a 21-year-old female Chinese student was shot and died.

At the same time, in the large-scale stampede and riot, six Chinese tourists were seriously injured and are being treated in a local hospital in New York. One of them has died after rescue efforts failed.

As a direct witness of the 611 Madison Square Garden shooting massacre, and as a top NBA star, Lin Fei naturally knew that the injured and injured compatriots were all his loyal fans, and they were all playing for him. Came to the sidelines.

Between emotion and reason, between public and private affairs, Lin Fei could not choose to sit idly by in this matter. He had to seek the greatest justice for the injured and injured fellow fans.
