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

Chapter 9 [9] Lin Fei: Stop running, rest for a while!

Kobe clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were fierce, and his generous and sexy lower lip shone with a bloodthirsty light.

The idea of ​​the Black Mamba coincided with that of the "Zen Master". He must strangle Lin Fei to death at the last moment of the game and let him hit the rookie wall hard.

From Kobe's point of view, Lin Fei's tireless use of cover to intersperse his moves has a distinct figure of the "masked man" Hamilton.

And Richard Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons, this kind of off-ball running genius who can score 5 points with only 50 dribbles in the entire game,

In fact, it is the shooting guard that Kobe is least willing to defend against. The real damn one can run and kill you.

Lin Fei's current off-the-ball running ability may not be as good as Hamilton's, and his Asian player's speed and endurance may not be at the same level as Hamilton's.

But the accuracy of this three-point shot left Hamilton's mid-range shot a few blocks away.

Coupled with the battle of Tianwangshan in the Eastern Conference finals yesterday,
The Detroit Pistons also beat the Indiana Pacers by 18 points, and Hamilton scored 55 points on more than 33% shooting.

According to this momentum, Kobe is likely to face Hamilton in this year's finals.

If you want to win the championship, you have to face the scalp no matter how unwilling to defend,
Tonight, he just tried his hand on Lin Fei, who has a similar style. It was also a calculation in Kobe's mind.

Even if the price is losing the game.

"Zen Master" touched his chin thoughtfully, his decision was not impulsive.

Because even if Kobe is not allowed to strangle Lin Fei to death, it will be even more difficult for the Lakers to win back tonight.

The momentum of the Timberwolves overtaking the score in this wave is already difficult to suppress.

all in all.

Returning to the Western Conference Finals G6 at home will be a foolproof guarantee for the Los Angeles Lakers.

At the same time, it can sell one more home game tickets, which is a profit of tens of millions of dollars.

The current "Zen Master" Phil Jackson's position in the Lakers is not only as simple as the head coach,
After the LOGO man Jerry West left Memphis, Phil Jackson has been able to intervene in management matters with the help of his girlfriend Jenny Buss.

Timberwolves sideline,

Philip Sanders naturally did not expect that the "Zen Master" would put all his eggs in one basket at the last moment and let Kobe defend Lin Fei.

However, he still insisted on the strategy of playing team tactics, hoping that Lin Fei's terrifying three-point firepower can continue to contain the Lakers' defense.
Let the three main players, Wolf King, Madman, and Szebiak, stabilize the situation and strive to win the game.

Although he only played for less than 5 minutes, Lin Fei was already sweating profusely at this time because of his constant running and continuous shooting.

It seems that there is only 50 points of physical fitness in the system's personal panel.

It is indeed the fatal factor that restricts Lin Fei from playing for a long time in the game.

It's a pity that physical fitness belongs to physical talent and cannot be increased through free attribute points.
It can only be improved by training day and night.

Trenton Hassell, who was sitting on the Timberwolves bench, offered Lin Fei a towel.

But the starting shooting guard of the Timberwolves was not really happy for Lin Fei's outbreak, but worried about his own situation.

Hassel, a third-year player this season, is a second-round pick, but with his dedicated defense, he has secured his starting position in the Timberwolves.

Being able to start together with All-Stars such as Wolverine, Cassel and Sprewell, averaged nearly 30 minutes per game in the regular season,

It is a very valuable experience for Hassell, just as he is in a contract year this season,

As long as he can maintain a stable performance, he can definitely sign a big contract with an annual salary of no less than 400 million during the offseason.

After all, it is a second-round pick, and Hassel's annual salary this season is only more than $90.

With Cassel's injury in the Western Conference Finals, Hassel ushered in an opportunity to perform. Although the team lost in the last game, he scored 10 points on 5 of 12 shots.

On the defensive end, Hassel is the main defender of the Timberwolves outside, and can share more dirty work for the "madman".

Hassel and Lin Fei are actually facing the same situation,
To be honest, whether the team wins or loses, whether they can win the championship, really has nothing to do with role players like them.

Being able to show their personal worth and sign a satisfactory contract is the biggest motivation for bottom players.

After all, Hassel was also born in a black slum, and money is what the poor most desire.

But in tonight's game, even though Hassell defended hard enough, he made 5 of 0 shots and failed to score a single point in the case of consecutive large open shots on the offensive end.
As a result, the Lakers were completely emptied, and the defensive pressure was piled up on the Wolf King and the Madman.

This is why Philip Sanders had no choice but to put the defensive Trenton Hassel on the bench at the end of the quarter and replace Floyd and Lin Fei.

Because the Timberwolves need to chase points, and the defense cannot score.

It doesn't matter if Lin Fei explodes this time, but if he shoots three-pointers so accurately every game in the future, it will definitely affect his playing time and performance opportunities!

Hassell is an honest black player. He doesn't blame Lin Fei for his outburst, but he can only blame himself for not being able to seize many open shots tonight.

If he can hit two of those five shots, Philip Sanders should not replace him, right?
Thinking of this, Hassel was really envious of Lin Fei's hot three-pointer, the drooling kind.

Naturally, Lin Fei couldn't notice the complex expression changes in Hassel's eyes, and just wiped the sweat off his face hastily twice,

Then the referee blew the whistle to end the 20-second timeout.

Players from both teams re-entered the field.

Philip Sanders also saw that Lin Fei was tired, but fortunately there were only three minutes left in the game.

The physical fitness of Asian guards is indeed a problem. It seems that when using Lin Fei in the future, he still needs to control the playing time and timing.

At the same time, Philip Sanders turned his head and glanced at Trenton Hassell, who was sitting on the bench with a somewhat lonely expression, and shook his head helplessly.

Compared with Lin Fei, Hassel is a completely different perimeter defensive player.

One who can score like crazy, but defends almost nothing,
One who can match Kobe on the defensive end, is willing to do the dirty work, but it is difficult to score.

If Lin Fei and Hassell can become one player, they will definitely be future NBA superstars.

Without paying attention to this impossible idea, Philip Sanders turned his eyes to the tense game field in an instant, and was surprised and delighted at once.

"Zen Master" actually asked Kobe to defend Lin Fei?

On the court, the Lakers quickly scored two offensive points. Back on the defensive end, Kobe chased Lin Fei closely, colliding with the opponent with his strong body, squeezing Lin Fei's running space.

"Son of heaven, don't you fucking try to score another point against me tonight!"

Feeling the collision with Kobe's arm muscles, Lin Fei's body was indeed at a disadvantage.
In this case, Lin Fei simply squatted in the bottom corner. This was originally the head coach's original arrangement for him to play.

Seeing Lin Fei squatting at the bottom corner of the weak side, bending over with his hands leaning on his knees, he suddenly gasped for breath.

"Keep running, why don't you run?"

Kobe stuck to it tightly, his nerves were tense, and he didn't give Lin Fei a chance to start a counter-run suddenly.

Lin Fei smiled and shook off the sweat from his long eyelashes, and said to Kobe calmly:

"Stop running, I'm a little tired, take a break!"

But Kobe didn't dare to relax at all, secretly thinking in his heart that I believe you a ghost.

However, at this moment, there was a clear sound of surfing the net behind Kobe, and a smile appeared on Lin Fei's face.

"Madman" singled the old Payton on the strong side, and hit a mid-range turnaround jumper steadily.

"Shh!"

The Timberwolves regained the lead to 6 points.

For the "madman" scoring this time, Kobe was not even the slightest bit angry.

In his subconscious mind, he even thought that as long as Lin Fei didn't hit another three-pointer, it would be a completely acceptable result.

However, the Timberwolves are getting closer and closer to winning.

O'Neal was fouled by the Sharks on the offensive end. The Sharks, who went to the free throw line this time, had a rare indisputable sigh of relief, and even made two free throws.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

It's just that the Timberwolves came to the offensive end,

With Lin Fei's defensive containment of Kobe, the outside line also got more opportunities.

Szczerbiak took advantage of the cover of the Wolf King, bent his bow and set an arrow at the top of the arc, and shot an iconic three-pointer straight into the net.

"Shh!"

The Timberwolves fans in the audience pumped their fists and applauded their own All-Star shooter.

"Haha, the impact of Lin scoring six three-pointers in a row is so powerful, I almost forgot that Wally is the three-pointer of our Timberwolves!"

"Szczerbiak, the team's best three-point shooter, is likely to be snatched away by Lin soon!"

"The NBA needs heroes. All the three-pointers made by Szczerbiak this season together may not be as shocking and meaningful as Lin's six consecutive three-pointers!"

"I sincerely hope that Lin's outbreak is not a flash in the pan, so that our Timberwolves really have a chance to reverse the Lakers and reach the finals!"
