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

Seeing that he was becoming increasingly unable to guard against Lin Fei's attempts, Gilbert Arenas also began to play more impatiently on the offensive end. Faced with Lin Fei's suffocating single defense, he forced a step-back shot, but was blocked by Lin Fei's precise flying shot. , three fingertips accurately hit the surface of the spinning basketball.

"Block! This is a frontal block. Gilbert's shot was too bold. It seems that he underestimated the defensive level of Xinke DPOY!"

The basketball was much shorter after unloading, and was directly caught by Zach Randolph under the basket. The Knicks counterattacked again.

Lin Fei held the ball and changed direction without slowing down. He used an IN+OUT to shake off Arenas who was chasing him. Facing Stevenson who was double-teamed, he first gave the ball to Stephen Ma, who was about to leave on the wing. Brie,
Then he accelerated and reversed direction, cut into the penalty area from the right again, shook off two defenders in a row, received Marbury's precise return pass, leaped over the stewardess and dunked another one.

"Boom!"

Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan, who was standing on the sidelines, looked very impatient. He kept shouting at the players to stabilize the rhythm and control mistakes. They must not let the Knicks lead them.

But "General" Arenas, who was continuously defended by Lin Fei, obviously couldn't suppress his emotions. After coming to the offensive end again, he still insisted on going his own way.
Continuous dribbling changes brought his personal breakthrough talents to the extreme, but he still couldn't get past Lin Fei's suffocating defense.

"Snapped!"

Taking advantage of Arenas' almost dribbling error, Lin Fei quickly stole the ball with his quick eyes and long arms like a dragon coming out of the valley.

Arenas was about to explode with anger. With a red face, he rushed forward and fouled Lin Fei to stop the Knicks' fast break.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded and the game lasted less than half a quarter, but this was already Arenas's second foul tonight.

Wizards coach Eddie Jordan had no choice but to let substitute guard Roger Mason temporarily replace "General" Arenas to protect the opponent's foul crisis.

Arenas was so angry as he walked off the field that he couldn't help but kicked the bench in the front row, and then followed up with a fierce kick.

"boom!"

Amidst the loud noise, the bench seat was directly kicked to pieces by Arenas, which frightened the Wizards substitute players Nick Young and Danielson beside him and stood up and frowned.

The referee was not used to Arenas's unusual venting behavior, so he quickly blew the whistle and was handed another technical foul.

"Beep!"

Eddie Jordan was afraid that Arenas still couldn't control his emotions, so he quickly asked two staff members to take him back to the locker room.

Knicks fans on both sides of the tunnel booed and mocked Arenas for his poor performance tonight:
"Gilbert, you can only smash chairs, because in front of Lin, you can only get beaten!"

"Two consecutive attacks, Lin blocked shots and made steals. Gilbert, it seems you are not suitable for playing basketball. You should go home and feed the sharks!"

On the court, Lin Fei did not expect that Arenas' temper would be so hot. This was not a good sign for the Wizards and the general himself.

"Lin, this game has just started, have you destroyed Gilbert's mentality? Then it won't be fun after that!"

Stephon Marbury spread his hands. Although he said so, he obviously enjoyed Arenas' mental collapse.

"This guy should control his emotions. I don't want to win an easy game!"

Lin Fei, who walked to the free throw line, executed Arenas' technical foul free throw and made a steady hit.

"Shh!"

Immediately afterwards, the Knicks still had the ball. Seeing that the Wizards no longer double-teamed, Lin Fei held the ball at the top of the arc and singled out Tayshaun Stevenson, and hit another three-pointer with a double step-back.

"Shh!"

随着这个三分球的命中，林飞今晚已经用100%的命中率迅速轰下了17分，外加2次助攻1个抢断和2个封盖。

Knicks (21): (10) Wizards.

On the timer, the first quarter lasted just over 6 minutes.

"The Knicks showed a strong performance tonight with 75 wins, especially Lin, who scored 6 points on all 17 shots in half a quarter. If the Wizards can persist until the fourth quarter, then Lin is likely to score tonight. A high score!”

"From the regular season to the playoffs this season, we have rarely seen Lin score high-scoring games. I hope the fans' expectations will come true tonight!"

"Indeed, this season the Knicks are very comprehensive from starters to substitutes, which means Lin no longer has to carry the team on his shoulders!"

"But I have to criticize the Washington Wizards. They don't look like a 60+ win team right now. I hope Gilbert, who returns to the locker room, can quickly adjust his mentality!"

"This is the Eastern Conference finals. I believe the fans here, like me, don't want to see a one-sided situation!"

Without Arenas, the Washington Wizards played team basketball instead. The team's second and third players, Antoine Jamison and Caron Butler, also have certain organizational skills.

In the positional battle, starting center Brandon Haywood also played a huge role, grabbing offensive rebounds several times to score twice, and fully confronting Eddie Curry.

It is worth mentioning that Roger Mason, who came off the bench, became the Wizards' surprise player in the first quarter, hitting three consecutive three-pointers to help the Wizards stabilize the situation.

Knicks (38): (25) Wizards.

After the first quarter, the Knicks ended the battle with a 13-point advantage. Lin Fei played 10 minutes in the first quarter and exploded continuously with a hot touch. He made all 9 shots and 4 of 4 three-pointers, scoring 24 points. 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

The 24 points in a single quarter on the offensive end are certainly outstanding, but Lin Fei's 2 steals and 2 blocks on the defensive end in the first quarter were also at the top ten level, showing the unparalleled style of the new DPOY.

However, except for Lin Fei, the Knicks' other main players have relatively average touch, and are slightly worse than the Wizards in rebounding.

It can be seen that the Knicks team did not use their full strength, but the Wizards used their lives. When Arenas performed poorly, everyone actively stood up and worked hard.

"The Wizards played very well overall. They kept grinding out positions and pressing the rhythm to counter the Knicks' small ball whirlwind. It seems that Eddie Jordan is a pretty good coach!"

"But if the Wizards want to turn around and win, they still need Gilbert Arenas to quickly adjust his mentality and reach his personal peak level!"

In the front row, Jordan and Pippen, former Bulls teammates, also came to watch the game. At this time, the two were discussing the gap between Lin Fei and Arenas.

"Michael, if Lin was compared to you, who do you think Gilbert was more like in the 90s?"

Listening to Pippen's question, Jordan unconsciously looked towards the Knicks bench, where head coach Isaiah Thomas was discussing something with his assistant coaches.

Pippen smiled and said: "What about Isaiah? This guy was indeed a bit like Arenas now, but I feel that Isaiah's strength at his peak was not what Gilbert can compete with now!"

Jordan nodded and said: "That's true. Gilbert may be on par with Isaiah in terms of offensive level, but his organizational ability, defensive intensity, mental attributes and even key goals are a little worse than Isaiah." !”

"This is also the main reason why the Wizards he led cannot beat the Knicks. It seems that there will still not be much suspense in this Eastern Conference finals!"

Jordan shook his head and sighed. He has set greater expectations on this year's finals.

Many fans and friends around him now regard Lin Fei as the number one player in the league, and comparing it with his glory in the 90s, Jordan has gradually felt recognized.

After all, after getting 75 wins and unanimous MVP, although Lin Fei is young now, he has indeed surpassed Duncan, Kobe, Garnett and other super giants in terms of major honors, influence and personal overall strength. ,
Even though he is not as good as the Sharks in terms of the number of championships and FMVPs, Lin Fei has two regular season MVPs, one of which was a unanimous vote, and he has been in the double team for four consecutive years.
At this point, the Shark, who has only one regular season MVP in his career, will be at a disadvantage.

Even Jordan had to lament how terrifying Lin Fei, the basketball genius from the East, is. Although these honors are far less than his two three consecutive championships, you must know that Lin Fei is only 24 years old now. Jordan recalled that when he was 24 years old, he was just a young kid in the league. He had just won the regular season MVP and several scoring titles, but he did nothing in the playoffs.

At least compared to the same period, Jordan has been far behind Lin Fei.

If Lin Fei leads the Knicks to the championship this year, and the Finals MVP will definitely be his, then his personal status will be on par with O'Neal, or even surpass him.

If even O'Neal surpasses him, Lin Fei will be the first person in active service who can't dunk at all.

Jordan is not a kind person, and he naturally does not want Lin Fei and the Knicks to dominate.

I originally thought that the Washington Wizards could cause some trouble for Lin Fei's Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, but now it seems that Arenas is far from reaching this level.

It seems that we can only hope that the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant can successfully snipe Lin Fei and the Knicks in the finals.

On the court, the second quarter started quickly.

Arenas, the "general" who returned to play, quickly adjusted his mentality. Taking advantage of Lin Fei's absence, he scored personal points and organized assists, leading his teammates to a 9:3 climax.

The point difference was also chased from 13 points to 7 points.

Knicks (41): (34) Wizards.

Lin Fei sat on the bench calmly, and head coach Isaiah Thomas was also confident.

Knicks fans at home burst into jeers, mocking and ridiculing Arenas for only daring to travel at the wrong time with Lin Fei to rack up points like crazy.

Faced with the taunts and boos of Knicks fans, and thinking of the sharks at home, Arenas, who was furious, completely exploded. In two consecutive attacks, he scored two consecutive three-pointers with the ball.
"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

It also included a misplaced facial shot 3+1 on Trevor Ariza.

In less than 1 minute, Arenas scored 7 points in a row, allowing Arenas' personal score to quickly reach 20 points, hot on the heels of Lin Fei.

Knicks (45): (43) Wizards.

The score difference was also quickly caught up by the Wizards, and the time on the timer was fixed at the 6-minute official timeout of the second quarter.

Arenas was able to vent his fists and roared, glaring at the Knicks fans at home:
"Keep barking, Lin's dogs, you will only make me beat more crazily!"

Stephon Marbury could not stand the arrogance of "The General" more and more, and snorted coldly:

"This guy is too happy too early. I'm waiting to see his expression when he loses in the end!"

Lin Fei raised his eyebrows and stood up from the bench. It seemed that Arenas really shouldn't have been given such a long time to perform.

"I still have to take care of this Gilbert guy, Stephen, you have to watch out!"

After the timeout, Lin Fei appeared on the stage, and Madison Square Garden burst into cheers.

"I'm really worried about Gilbert. His score-boosting mode should end!"

"With Lin's defense, Gilbert's shooting percentage has never reached 30%!"

"I feel that in the last 6 minutes of the first half, Gilbert could only score 2 points at most, haha!"

"Still thinking about scoring? Think about how to avoid foul trouble first!"

On the court, Lin Fei's effect after coming up was immediate. He held the ball in the frontcourt and set up a cross pick-and-roll screen with Stephon Marbury. He met Arenas in a misplaced position and took two steps outside the three-point line without hesitation.
With the advantages of height and wingspan, he jumped up and shot the "general" in the face with a three-point shot from a long distance.

The basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air and hit the net with an arrow piercing the heart.

"Shh!"

After scoring, Lin Fei smiled at the arrogant Arenas and raised his eyebrows, pointing at his feet two meters away from the three-point line:

"Gilbert, do you want to take a three-pointer from this position?"

When the Wizards attacked, Arenas, who was holding his breath, was not good at it. After dribbling the ball across half court, he faced Lin Fei who was defending the three-point line at the top of the arc. Before the opponent could get close to him,

Unexpectedly, he jumped and shot directly from a position close to three meters outside the three-point line.

Lin Fei's pupils trembled, looking at the basketball flying over his head, he thought to himself that this guy really dares to be so far away from him!
"Shh!"

The next moment, the sound of the basketball hitting the net was clear. Arenas also responded to Lin Fei with a super long three-pointer, and it was close to 10 meters away from the basket, which was further than 9 meters just now by Lin Fei. .

Arenas, who was so carried away, also imitated Lin Fei's actions just now, pointed at his feet and said arrogantly:

"Lin, do you want another one in my position?"

The atmosphere in the auditorium on all sides also became fanatical, and the fans shouted:

"Damn, I didn't expect this guy Arenas to really be able to make a shot. Is he trying to beat our Lin Feibiao for a three-pointer?"

"It's just a trick. From such a far distance, there is absolutely no way he can make a second shot tonight!"

"No one who makes a three-pointer with Lin Bi doesn't cry!"

On the court, Lin Fei was rarely inspired by Arenas' arrogance. He directly asked Marbury for the ball in the backcourt, stepped on the LOGO area after crossing the midline, and looked at the basket with glaring eyes.
Seeing that Arenas and Stevenson, who were three meters away, were obviously not prepared for thousands of defenses, so they breathed a sigh of relief, activated their DNA, and jumped up to shoot another shot.

Lin Fei's take-off position this time was just two steps past the center line, at least 12 meters away from the basket.

The basketball is like an outgoing cannonball, carrying the whistling sound of the wind and darting straight through the net.

"Shh!"

and also.

After scoring the goal, Lin Fei looked at Arenas, who was a little surprised. He also pointed to the position at his feet again, then raised his eyebrows and shouted back:

"Gilbert, do you really want to be far away from me?"

"Then I would like to ask you on behalf of the taxi driver, do you know your current position?"

Arenas's face suddenly turned green and red, and he was biting his back teeth in embarrassment, but he had an arrow on the string and had to shoot it. He couldn't just give in, right? (End of chapter)
