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

Chapter 79 [79] Scarlett: If you lose, go kiss the forest! (13)

([78] Topic: The first steal in my career, not knowing how to dribble is too difficult!)

The basketball went into the net hollow and splashed beautifully.

Hamilton, who caught up one step later, and Billups, who was robbed, couldn't help being extremely annoyed, and slapped their thighs hard.

Seeing that Lin Fei scored two consecutive three-pointers in less than a minute, the point difference has been expanded to double digits,
Larry Brown on the sidelines did not dare to hesitate, and quickly called a long timeout.

Szebiak smiled and rushed up to high-five Lin Fei, and the wolf king, Hassel, and Olowokandi who came off the field also gave Lin Fei a thumbs up happily:
Wolf King: "Lin, your steal just now was great!"

Hassell: "It's just that this dribble is a bit poor..."

Olowokandi: "The pass is not as good as me..."

Lin Fei: "...are you praising me, or are you mocking me?"

The momentum of the Target Center arena was overwhelming, and the Timberwolves fans at home chanted: "Second, second, second!"

"Detroit Pistons, lose and lose..."

In a box on the top of the pavilion, because the front row tickets for G6 of the finals could not be bought in advance, two good sisters, Scarlett Johansson and Amber Heard,
So I could only choose the box in the corner of the roof of the pavilion. Although it is a bit far from the basketball court, the view is still good.

In order to be able to watch Lin Fei's G6 of the finals, and also hope to witness the Timberwolves' winning moment, Amber Hield asked the crew for two days off and flew over from Seattle.

The film crew is currently filming on location in the Grand Canyon of Colorado. Flying from Denver to Minnesota is, after all, much closer than Los Angeles.

Although she has received a good new play, she is still the second female in the play. This may be a key breakthrough for Amber Heard's acting career.

But Ai Meibo really missed the match between Lin Fei and him. Currently, she has played 5 games in the finals, but she has never been to the scene once.

Amber Hield fell in love with Lin Fei at first sight after watching the Western Conference Finals Game 6 at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles. She also took the initiative to learn a lot about basketball and the NBA in her spare time while filming.

Knowing that tonight's G6 of the finals at the Timberwolves' home court is likely to be the last game of the entire 03-04 season, and the new season will be four and a half months later,
Amber Heard bit the bullet and asked the director for leave, and was bound to come to watch this important game between Lin Fei and Timberwolves.

Fortunately, Amber has Scarlett Johansson as her best friend, so the director also gave her some face, and specially asked Aimeb, don't forget to get him a signed jersey from the Wolf King.

Although Scarlett is a die-hard Lakers fan, she is also a senior NBA fan. In addition, the recent schedule is relatively empty, so she decided to watch the finals live with Amber.

"Ai Meibo, your sweetheart's three-point shots are getting more and more accurate. When do you plan to take him down? At that time, you can also taste the accuracy of his shots!"

Scarlett tonight is wearing a long red dress, her sexy and hot figure is also hidden, her long blond hair is tied in a bun behind her head, making her look even more pure and lovely.

During this period, Scarlett has not yet made a Marvel movie. Her two most famous movies are "Lost in Translation" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring".

And these two films are classic literary films, which have won numerous awards internationally. At the age of 24, Scarlett has established herself as a "goddess of literature and art".

Compared with the later opening of the show, the current Scarlett obviously gives fans a perfect image of pure literature and art, and her personal label is also more distinct.

If this image of driving openly with girlfriends in the box is exposed by the media, it will definitely surprise movie fans.

But free and easy to go her own way, this is the 24-year-old Scarlett.

Amber heard that Scarlett was driving, her pretty face flushed immediately, and she punched her best friend on the shoulder:
"Scarlett, don't talk nonsense, she's only 18, okay?"

"Hey, Ai Meibo, you are already 18 years old, shouldn't you still be like that?"

Amber curled her lips at Scarlett, blushing and said, "That's what she is!"

Scarlett's eyes suddenly brightened up: "Ai Meibo, I didn't expect you to keep your body like a jade. Isn't this taking advantage of that Lin?"

Ai Meibo's beautiful eyes were shining, she looked down at Lin Fei on the court, and suddenly sighed again:

"Scarlett, don't you think this is just my wishful thinking? I really confessed my confession, will Lin agree?"

Scarlett suddenly looked at her best friend curiously, frowned and said, "Ai Meibo, aren't you usually very confident? So many male stars and directors are chasing you, why are you afraid that even an NBA rookie can't handle it?"

Ai Meibo shot a look of admiration in his beautiful eyes: "In my eyes, Lin is not just a rookie. Have you seen any rookie who is so good in the NBA Finals? Lin scored 32 points in the last game!"

Scarlett couldn't help admiring: "Ai Meibo, I didn't expect to see you in a few days, and you know so much about football. It seems that the power of love is really powerful!"

While speaking, Scarlett's beautiful eyes flashed, and she suddenly had an idea in her heart:

"Ai Meibo, how about we make a bet? If you lose, after the game, you have to go to the court to kiss Lin, and then take the initiative to confess, how about it?"

Ember blushed and took two deep breaths, as if mustering up her courage: "Then what if I win?"

A smirk suddenly appeared on Scarlett's face: "If you win, then I'll go!"

Ai Meibo stood up from the sofa angrily and stomped her feet, how could she let her best friend take advantage of her: "Okay, I'll just admit defeat..."

On the court, the timeout came back, and the Pistons attacked in position.

Facing Trenton Hassel, who is taller and longer than himself, and has no disadvantages in terms of tonnage, Billups obviously has no absolute advantage in breakthroughs.
So he held the ball from the high position on the right and called for a pick-and-roll screen from Hamilton. Taking advantage of the gap between Lin Fei and Hassell chasing around the screen, he quickly made a two-pointer.

"Shh!"

Lin Fei's defensive attribute has just been raised to 56 points, and he can barely defend against Hamilton, who is not good at handling the ball and has a finger injury, so it is not necessarily a disadvantage.

But if you want to switch to defend Billups in a misplaced position, it is naturally for nothing.

In the transfer of the ball, the Timberwolves lineup can be said to have no point guards, so the ball can only be let Hassell barely advance to the frontcourt, and then quickly give it to the high-ranking Wolf King.

The wolf king then points to Szczerbiak, who was brought up from the right side. The latter catches the ball and puts Prince on his back, signaling his teammates to open up space. He is going to play singles.

Szcerbiak faced Prince in this round of finals, and has always had an absolute advantage on the offensive end, with a success rate of more than 60% in singles.

But this time Prince's defensive attention was very concentrated, and he was not shaken by Szczerbiak. The moment the opponent turned over and shot, he quickly jumped up and swung his long arms, sending a wonderful cap.

"Snapped!"

The ball was slapped directly beyond the three-point line, but a lightning-like figure quickly rushed up from the right side of the court, took two steps away from Hamilton, and jumped up without hesitation after receiving the ball.

Under the blessing of huge inertia, Lin Fei threw the ball almost two meters away from the three-point line.

"Shh!"

and also.

"The third, the third, the third..."

Timberwolves (40): (28) Pistons.

Prince's wonderful block, but indirectly assisted Lin Fei to hit his third three-pointer tonight.

This is a very difficult ultra-long and elegant three-pointer. Although the basketball is still hollow, Lin Fei also admits that there is an element of luck.

It seems that with the huge motivation to win the championship tonight, Lin Fei's feeling is obviously hotter than usual.

In the next few minutes of the second quarter, the Pistons switched Billups to Lin Fei on the defensive end, and Hamilton, who was injured, was Hassell, who was not a threat to the offense.

In the physical confrontation with Billups, a strong point guard, Lin Fei obviously suffered a disadvantage. His running space was compressed, and he didn't have a good shot after the screen.

The Wolf King's risky score was directly intercepted by Billups, and the Pistons quickly scored two points in a counterattack fast break.

Next, the Wolf King continued to focus on Rasheed Wallace, and he always had good efficiency.

Philip Sanders replaced Sam Cassell, who got enough rest, in the middle of the second quarter, giving Lin Fei more shell delivery.

Above "Alien" Cassell, Billups could only switch back again, and Hamilton went after Lin Fei.

Kassel came up and broke through Billups with the ball, killing the key in the penalty area.

And Lin Fei also took advantage of the double screens of Szebiak and Wolf King, and quickly moved to a 30-degree angle to the left.

Cassell broke through the middle eye and looked at the six lanes, jumped back to the carbine, and passed the ball over Billups' head.

Lin Fei caught the ball and took off, facing Rasheed Wallace who came up from the defense, he bent his bow and set an arrow to make a decisive shot.

Rasheed Wallace's defense was very timely this time, but with an ankle injury, it was difficult to move freely.

"Bang!"

"Beep"

Although the ball missed, Rashid's finger touched Lin Fei's wrist. The referee blew his whistle and made a three-point foul. Lin Fei got 3 free throw opportunities.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Lin Fei, who walked to the free throw line, made all three free throws and scored 12 consecutive points in the second quarter.

"Lin was so solid at the free throw line, it's hard to believe he's just a rookie!"

"That's right, Lin is the only player who has made more than 10 free throws and made 100% of his shots in the entire finals!"

David Stern, who was sitting on the sidelines, smiled and nodded. This was his first time watching Lin Fei's game live.

As the two representatives of the rising players of the Celestial Dynasty, compared with Dayao, there are obviously more topics about Lin Fei.

Whether it's his handsome and handsome idol appearance, or his passionate three-pointers, David Stern has seen the promising market of the Celestial Empire crazily realizing it.

If the Timberwolves can win the championship tonight, then the Finals MVP seems to be more popular and influential for the undrafted Lin Fei than for the wolf king Garnett.

Judging from the current situation, the defensive quality of the Pistons has declined due to injuries. Lin Fei's performance tonight will definitely not be bad, and he is different from the Wolf King.

Therefore, it is not too much to give this finals MVP to either Lin Fei or Wolf King.

It's a pity that the MVP of the finals was not decided by him alone, but was voted by 9 members of the media.

Billups began to pinch Sam Cassell's pass, but put his shots and breakthroughs appropriately.

Coupled with Hamilton's hard work in chasing and defending, this made Lin Fei unable to catch the ball in the next few offensive rounds.

So Kassel strengthened his personal offensive role, and at the same time seized the opportunity to assist Wolf King and Szczerbiak, and Olowokandi at the basket also got a chance to eat cakes.

Although the Pistons are also playing well on the offensive end, Billups has a certain advantage against Cassell, and the big Ben at the basket continues to grab offensive rebounds and get opportunities for dunks and free throws.

But under Biao, the Pistons have never been able to narrow the point difference to less than 10 points.

As Mike Breen said, as long as Lin Fei is on the court, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the finals will inevitably speed up, and the scoring efficiency of the two teams will also increase accordingly.

Tonight, coupled with the suspension of "Madman" and the impact of injuries on both sides, the defensive quality has declined, and the offensive efficiency has increased.

After the entire round of the finals, both teams averaged more than 90 points per game, which has exceeded the average level of this year's playoffs.

NBA Commissioner David Stern on the sidelines was grinning from ear to ear. This finals is what he expected!

I hope that the Timberwolves can maintain their strength in the next few seasons and make the competition in the West more intense and exciting.

As for the Eastern Conference, David Stern really hopes that Lin Fei can go to the New York Knicks next season. After all, the Knicks are his son Stern and the league.

Within the controllable range, David Stern will naturally try to help the Knicks profit.

On the court, Lin Fei temporarily put his sword back into the sheath to restrain his edge, playing the role of helping the team open up enough space.

Until the last minute before the end of the first half, taking advantage of the Pistons' slack in defensive energy, Lin Fei seized the opportunity and started the killing mode again.

First, a tacit cooperation with the wolf king in the left corner, with the help of the wolf king's front cover and back pass,

Lin Fei stood up against Hamilton and Wallace who were unable to defend against the cover, and rose from the ground at a 0-degree angle on the left. The sharp sword was unsheathed, and there would be blood when it was unsheathed!

"Shh!"

Across thirty thousand miles of sword energy, one sword is light and cold in nineteen states.

the fourth.

Rasheed Wallace and Hamilton were ankle-touching fingers, exasperated expressions on their faces.

In a subsequent defense of the Timberwolves, the connection between Billups and Ben Wallace was deviated. Big Ben's violent dunk did not grasp the rhythm, and he dunked the basketball directly.

"Bang!"

The high-post Wolf King turned over and grabbed the defensive rebound, and quickly gave it to Cassel, who was about to come down, through Rasheed Wallace.

Lin Fei accelerated from the right sideline and went straight to the frontcourt, but Hamilton's pursuit and defense was very timely this time, always following him, and did not give Lin Fei a chance to catch the ball easily.

Cassell kept walking while walking, turned around with one crotch, turned around halfway, stopped and jumped up, completely swaying Billups away through the rhythm, his rich experience is undoubtedly evident, straight to the basket is a low-handed layup.

But Cassell is a 34-and-a-half-year-old veteran with a back injury after all, and the ball was interfered by chasing Billups at the moment of layup.

The basketball swiped a few times on the rim, and finally rolled out.

Szerbiak and Prince who followed up jumped up to grab the rebound, while Lin Fei was also non-stop at this time, using the cover of the crowd to slip to the bottom line and go straight to the left at a 0-degree angle.

"Snapped!"

The wolf king who followed up jumped up, and before Big Ben, his big hand directly slapped the basketball to the left corner.

I have to admit that the wolf king is very talented. Even though he is only a little over two meters tall, he still loses to Garnett in terms of fast down speed.

Lin Fei received the "pass" from the Wolf King at a 0-degree angle on the left. Although the posture of receiving the ball was a bit awkward, facing Hamilton who was rushing up quickly, he had no time to adjust and jumped up and shot in a hurry.

"Shh!"

the fifth.

Hamilton, who chased too hard and failed to brake in time, completely destroyed Lin Fei's shooting cylinder. After landing, he fell directly in the front row outside the baseline. Two fans just happened to support his body and protect his head at the same time to prevent Lin Fei from being injured.

Lin Fei, who was lying between the two, raised his eyes and saw two familiar thick lips approaching his face. They were none other than LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

There are indeed not a few NBA stars who came to the Target Center to join the finals tonight.

James and Wade naturally don't want to see Lin Fei get injured, because this guy might be one of them's strong teammate in the new season.

The camera also captured this scene very accurately. This is the "close contact" of the three rookies of the golden generation of 03.

"Beep!
The referee Dick Bavita blew the whistle to signal Hamilton's foul on Lin Fei's shot.

3+1.

Lin Fei got up and made a gesture of thanks to James and Wade, and then strode to the free throw line with extra penalties.

"Shh!"

Looking back, Billups broke through Cassel's emergency stop and missed a mid-range shot. The rebound was grabbed by Big Ben immediately, and Prince from the outside line.

The "Little Prince" bent his bow and set an arrow, and hit a three-pointer before the end of the first half to help the Pistons stop the bleeding.

"Shh!"

On the timer, there were only 1.6 seconds left in the first half of the game.

Cassell made a quick serve from the baseline, and Lin Fei caught the ball on the right side of the top of the three-point line. Ignoring Hamilton's interference, he turned over and threw the basketball vigorously toward the frontcourt.

"Whoosh!"

The timer and the red lights on the tempered backboard were on, and Lin Fei's ball traveled 20 meters into the sky and hit the basket heavily.

"Bang!"

The goal was almost scored, and the Pistons were in a cold sweat.

The Timberwolves fans at home cheered, Lin Fei's shooting range is really terrifying.

Timberwolves (59): (45) Pistons.

Entering the intermission with a 14-point advantage.

Lin Fei played the full 12 minutes of the second quarter, making 6 of 5 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 19 points and 1 steal, still the highest score of the two teams in the first half.

The Wolf King also scored 11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the first half, completely blowing up Rasheed Wallace on both ends of the offense and defense.

Although leading by 14 points at halftime is not considered stable, the Timberwolves took the initiative on both offense and defense throughout the first half.

This makes the Timberwolves' home fans full of confidence and ambition, and they have begun to look forward to the passionate scene of the Timberwolves winning the O'Brien Cup tonight.

"Steady and steady, as long as the second half is played normally, no major mistakes are made, and no main players are injured, this championship will definitely belong to our Timberwolves!"

"The Pistons have lost and lost in G5 Tianwangshan. They have lost much energy. They still want to win at our home court tonight? Dream it!"

"My God, are the Timberwolves only one hour away from the first championship in team history? I'm so excited!"

In the plaza outside the Target Center arena, more than 3 fans gathered, and the mood at this time was equally fanatical, looking forward to the Timberwolves having the last laugh tonight and keeping the championship in Minnesota.

Although it was past eight o'clock in the evening, the Escher Lakeside Boulevard next to the arena was still crowded with vehicles and brightly lit.

Many local fans made a special trip to the square outside the Target Center Arena before the end of the game, hoping to celebrate this great moment with tens of thousands of Timberwolves fans.

Timberwolves official staff have prepared tens of thousands of dollars worth of fireworks in advance, and piled them up on the sculpture flower bed in the center of the square.
I want to set off the moment the Timberwolves win the championship at the end of the game.

"God bless, we must let the Timberwolves win the championship tonight, we don't want to watch the damn tiebreaker again!"

"After 15 ups and downs in the season, are the Timberwolves finally going to win the championship? Thanks to the Wolf King for his perseverance, thanks to the boss Glenn Taylor for spending money, and thanks to Lin for his three-pointers!"

"Timberwolves championship, Kevin FMVP, Timberwolves championship, Kevin FMVP!"

"Why Kevin's FMVP? I feel that Lin also has a great chance. Although his statistics are not comprehensive enough, the Timberwolves can win every game where he gets high scores!"

"Yeah, Kevin already has the MVP of the regular season. Why don't you give Lin the MVP of the finals? Without Lin, the Timberwolves would have fallen to the Western Conference Finals long ago!"

"I still feel that it is more suitable for Kevin. His offensive and defensive data are too comprehensive, and his overall performance has improved a lot compared to the average data in the regular season!"

"Except for Kevin and Lin, the other players really don't have a chance. Latrier was suspended tonight, and Cassell also missed a few games..."

"I sincerely hope that Lin will stay with us in the Timberwolves next season, but it's a pity that he is too popular in the league now. I heard that the Knicks have already paid an annual salary of 600 million dollars!"

On the court, the third quarter of the game has already started.
