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

The game between the Knicks and the Heat, as the first head-to-head contest between the two teams this season, naturally attracted the attention of the media and many fans at home and abroad.

From the current point of view, the Knicks are firmly ranked first in the Eastern Conference and the league with a record of 17 wins and 0 losses, while the Miami Heat, ranked second, also have a record of 14 wins and 3 losses. This winning rate can be said to be very good-looking, even if it is put aside In the West, it can also be tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who currently have the first record.

The reason why the Heat were able to achieve such a high winning rate at the start is partly because Dwayne Wade has maintained a relatively healthy body and competitive condition this season. So far, he has averaged 28.6 points per game, ranking in the latest scoring list. , ranking fifth behind LeBron James, Gilbert Arenas, Kobe Bryant and Lin Fei.

Of course, under the influence of Shark's decline in his twilight years, the Heat's overall competitiveness cannot be compared with the period when Lin Fei won two consecutive championships.

White Chocolate at the point guard, Shane Battier at the small forward, Suzuki at the power forward, and Udonis Haslem on the bench. Although their overall performance was relatively stable, they were not considered great. Too bright.

Only Monta Eisley has averaged 20+ per game on the Heat's bench this season and can be said to be a strong contender for the Best Sixth Man.

But discerning people, including Pat Riley, are actually not too optimistic about Monta Alice's prospects. After all, although this guy's scoring methods and impact are very strong, his overall efficiency is not too high. The performance on the defensive end was unsatisfactory.

However, just as the best sixth man, Monta Ellis's performance has obviously exceeded the expectations of Pat Riley and the Heat coaching staff.

Generally speaking, the reason why the Heat were able to start with a good record of 14 wins and 3 losses, and a high winning rate of over 82%, is mainly because they are in the Eastern Conference, with full bonuses, and the schedule is naturally relatively friendly.

After all, the relatively weak and loose competitive environment in the Eastern Conference is very beneficial to any Eastern Conference team competing for the playoffs, not just the Knicks.

In the Heat's first 17 games, they faced only one of the Western Conference's "top five" Bulls, Horses, Wolves and Taihu, and that was last week's loss to the Spurs.

They lost to the Spurs by 29 points at home, which shows that the Heat's winning percentage really has a lot of water in it.

In addition to the Heat's 14 wins and 3 losses,
The Orlando Magic led by "Warcraft" Dwight Howard, the Toronto Raptors led by "Dragon King" Chris Boss and the 06 No. pick Bargnani, as well as "General" Gilbert Arenas, Jamison and Kawhi The Wizards led by Ron Butler,
They have also become direct beneficiaries of the Eastern Dividend.

Under Lin Fei's huge butterfly effect, "General Arenas became the biggest beneficiary of this season like Wade.

You must know that in the original world, Arenas's 07-08 season can be said to be more disastrous than "Flash" Wade.

Wade suffered repeated knee injuries during the 07-08 season, but after all, he played more than 50 games in the regular season, but his condition fluctuated.
"General" Arenas suffered a devastating knee injury this season and only played 13 games before being reimbursed for the season.

Then, due to the farce of the "Gun Gate" incident, his personal competitive status and public opinion continued to plummet, and a shooting star fell completely.

Otherwise, given that Arenas and Wade are the same age, they are entering the peak competitive stage of their personal careers, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be ignored by everyone for no reason.

What's more, the emergence of Lin Fei and the rise of the super god have further stimulated and driven the competitive desire and fighting spirit of local first-line stars in the NBA.

After being suppressed by Lin Fei's Heat and Knicks in the East for several consecutive years, Arenas has become more and more courageous, constantly learning and understanding, increasing the amount of training and developing his skills, and his entire person's arrogance My son also received a good training.

Therefore, in this parallel world, the "gun scandal" incident that was enough to destroy Arenas' career will probably never happen again.

Although Lin Fei's Knicks are now a super strong team in the Eastern Conference, LeBron James's Cavaliers are gone forever, and the Detroit Pistons' five-tiger lineup has also collapsed in advance.
Therefore, Arenas teaming up with the three All-Stars Jamison and Butler will definitely have a chance to give the Wizards greater exposure and go further in the playoffs.

In the latest season scoring list, Gilbert Arenas averaged 30.3 points per game, second only to LeBron James' 31.2 points, ranking second in the scoring list.

In terms of personal three-pointers per game in the new season, Arenas's average of 3.5 three-pointers per game also ranks second in the league, beating top shooters such as Ray Allen and Peja. Second only to first place Lin Fei’s 5.6.

Lin Fei's personal shots have been significantly reduced this season, but he is still able to efficiently maintain an output of more than 5 three-pointers per game. He is so abnormal that even his own mother cannot recognize him.

As a point guard, Arenas's popularity and influence are now greater than those of the low-key Steve Nash, the aging Jason Kidd, Stephon Marbury who played for Lin Fei in the Knicks, and the yet-to-be People like Deron Williams, Chris Paul and Rajon Rondo who are entering their prime are bigger,
The sales volume of his personal Wizards No. 0 jersey also ranks first among active NBA point guards.

Currently, in addition to the New York Knicks and Miami Heat, the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, the teams ranked 3-5 are the Washington Wizards, Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors.

And because the season has just begun, there are not too many games between the Eastern and Western teams. This has resulted in the overall record of the top five teams in the Eastern Conference being higher than that of the top five teams in the Western Conference.

This abnormal phenomenon has naturally attracted the attention of many basketball commentators and experts.

Amid the huge disparity in strength between the East and the West, voices calling on the league headquarters to reform the regular season schedule have begun to become louder and louder.

"The record of the top five in the Eastern Conference is really poor. It seems that the winning rate is high, but the true colors are revealed immediately when encountering the strong teams in the Western Conference. The Heat lost to the Spurs by 29 points, the Magic lost to the Lakers by 25 points, and the Raptors lost to the Timberwolves. 30 points……"

"The Heat, Magic, and Raptors lost to the strong teams in the Western Conference, but the Knicks did not lose. They can win against the Suns in six consecutive games. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

"The Suns' defense is still too bad. If the Knicks meet teams with both offense and defense such as the Timberwolves, Spurs, Mavericks and Lakers, I think they will never win easily!"

"I feel that the gap between the East and the West is getting bigger year by year. The league headquarters should carry out reforms as soon as possible. I suggest that the divisional competition system between the East and the West be canceled directly. The records of the 30 teams are directly ranked together, and each team The number of games played in the regular season with each team should be unified, so that there will not be such a big injustice! "

"You can change the competition system as you like. Anyway, I, Lin Fei, and the Knicks have never been intimidated by anyone. This season we are sure to win the championship!"

"We'll see if the Knicks can maintain their winning streak against the Heat and Mavericks. The truly top teams will never pick their opponents!"

Returning to the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Lin Fei also felt his feelings for this arena.

The local fans warmly welcomed Lin Fei's arrival. After all, reality has increasingly proved that Lin Fei has always contributed the most to the Heat's two consecutive championships among the Big Three.

If Lin Fei has three home stadiums in this league, they must be Madison Square Garden, Target Center and American Airlines Arena.

At the same time, this top-ranking contest between Lin Fei and Wade has also become the focus of attention from fans all over the United States and around the world.

The first half of the game was quite intense, with the Heat clinging to the score under the leadership of Wade. Stimulated by Lin Fei's arrival, the Heat also performed well and hit four three-pointers in the half.

The Heat trailed the Knicks by 53 points at halftime, 59:6. Under Lin Fei's top-notch defense, Wade still used his superb breakthrough ability to score 15 points, 6 rebounds and 1 steal in the first half with sudden free throws. Lin Fei focused on organization on the offensive end in the first half, allowing Marbury to switch to scoring mode. He scored 6 points with only 12 shots in the half, but sent 7 assists. At the same time, there were 3 defensive ends. 1 steal and block.

The fierce game gave the Heat fans at home a sense of hope. It seems that the gap between them and the Knicks is not as big as imagined?
"Dwayne's breakthrough ability is really too strong. It's no exaggeration to say he is the best in history, right? Even a super perimeter defender like Lin is almost helpless against him?"

"After all, we are facing the Knicks who are my old friend Lin. Dwayne really performed superbly in the first half tonight. The difficulty of each breakthrough is too high. I am really worried that Dwayne will get injured if he continues to play like this. !”

"Who said that Lin's strength has already surpassed that of Dwayne? Judging from the first half of tonight's game, the two of them were obviously fighting back and forth, right?"

"Don't forget that Wade took 12 shots in the first half, but Lin only took 6. I have a feeling that Lin will suddenly explode in the third quarter!"

Just as the Heat home fan expected, Lin Fei seized the opportunity not long after the start of the third quarter and suddenly broke out on the defensive end, creating a classic that the fans will never forget.

From 10 minutes and 50 seconds to 8 minutes and 53 seconds of the third quarter, in less than two minutes, Lin Fei exerted strong force on the defensive end everywhere, sending out 3 steals in a row, and during the counterattack fast break, he even made a three-pointer from deep. He made two free throws, and then in a breakthrough, he faced Battier, who was on defense, and dunked to score 2+1.

In less than two minutes, Lin Fei dominated the offense and defense. While scoring 9 points and 3 steals in a row, he also helped the Knicks blast a 9-0 run, instantly extending the lead to 15 points.

Under the leadership of the boss, the Knicks quickly launched a wave of offensive and defensive climax. After the end of the three quarters, they quickly led the Heat by 27 points.

At the same time, under Lin Fei's suffocating defense, his old friend Wade made 9 of 5 shots, 0 turnovers, 3 fouls, and no points during the entire 2 minutes of the third quarter.

The battle between the two top 03 points is a matter of judgment.

With a huge advantage of 27 points, Lin Fei also clocked out of get off work in the third quarter and sat on the bench chatting leisurely with his teammates.

Although the Heat tried a counterattack in the fourth quarter, they ultimately failed to narrow the point difference to less than 15 points and ultimately lost the game 98:116.

While the Knicks won 18 consecutive games, they also ended the Heat's 3-game winning streak.

Lin Fei scored 14 points and 32 assists in three quarters with only 11 shots. Especially on the defensive end, he scored a personal game-high 7 steals this season and also had 2 blocks.

Compared with his offensive performance, Lin Fei's performance on the defensive end impressed the fans even more.

"Lin's defense is really strong. I feel that this season he will not only win the regular season MVP and best defensive player awards, but he will also be a sure winner!"

"There are not many examples of NBA defenders winning the Defensive Player of the Year award. I remember Rogue and Payton, so if Lin really won the DPOY this season, this is full of gold!"

"It seems that the gap between the Heat and the Knicks is still wider than expected. Lindo clocked out in the third quarter!"

"Dwayne played against Lin tonight, and his performance can be said to be very good. He and Battier also hit a lot of three-pointers. Monta on the bench was also good, but only Shaq was beaten by Eddie. Curry was blown away, really cruel!"

"Pat Riley should trade the old Shark as soon as possible, he has no value anymore!"

"With an annual salary of 2000 million US dollars, he only averages 15 points and 8 rebounds per game. On the defensive end, he is even more of a colander. He is only 35 years old. He is not such a waste, right? After all, Shaquille is one of the top five players in history. !”

"I feel that O'Neal's historical status is seriously overestimated. He has never proven himself when leading a team alone. Without Kobe before and Lin Fei Wade now, how could he have won 4 championships and 4 NBA championships?" Finals MVP?”

That night, Lin Fei and Sun Yue also came to Da Da's house as guests. His wife Song Yang and the nanny had already prepared authentic Chinese dishes and dumplings with three kinds of fillings.

Although the Heat lost the game, their performance tonight was generally very good. He started for 31 minutes, hit 6 three-pointers, and scored a personal high of 23 points and 7 rebounds in a single game in the new season.

Sun Yue, who came on as a substitute for the Knicks in the fourth quarter, also scored 5 points, 2 assists and 1 block, and has fully integrated into the Knicks' rotation.

When the three old and new Chinese players gathered together, they naturally talked more about each other's future development in the NBA and the upcoming Imperial Capital Olympics.

As NBA players, no matter how well the three of them play, it is a sure thing that they will be selected for next year's national team. Together with Dayao of the Lakers and Ah Lian of the Bucks, the strongest five-man group in the Chinese basketball world is enough. It has the capital to compete with any basketball power in the world.

"Great Sage, follow Lin Fei and have a good time. You have someone to protect you now, and you are much luckier than when I first came to the NBA!"

He roughly patted Sun Yue on the shoulder and spoke sincerely. Thinking of the sadness and hardships he had experienced when he first arrived, everything he has now will naturally feel more precious and hard-won.

Sun Yue nodded humbly, her face full of vigor and enthusiasm:

"Brother Wang, I don't dare to slack off for a day. Now my training volume has caught up to two-thirds of Lin Fei's!"

He said with a smile: "Then keep up your efforts and be on par with this training madman!"

Sun Yue couldn't help but shrink her neck, shook her head and sighed: "I don't have Lin Fei's physical fitness. If I were to match his training volume, I would probably be completely useless!"

Two days later, it was still an away game, still at AmericanAirlines Arena, but the location was changed from Miami to Dallas.

As long-standing rivals for many years, the focus battle between the Knicks and the Mavericks is also broadcast live across the United States. The Knicks, who have started with an 18-game winning streak, can officially tie the 19-game winning streak in team history as long as they can win this game.

As the victims of losing to Lin Fei and the Heat in the tiebreaker in the 06 Finals, the Mavericks led by Nowitzki will naturally try their best to avenge their humiliation every time they see Lin Fei, and this time will be no exception.

Originally, both teams were the top teams in the east and west of the league, and the gap in strength was not too big. However, shortly before the game, Marbury accidentally injured his wrist during training. After being examined by the team doctor, he finally decided to temporarily miss the game. Contest.

Without starting point guard Marbury, the Knicks' organizational responsibility will fall more on Lin Fei alone. (End of chapter)
