NBA: I have 3 but no D, and I still can’t dribble.

Chapter 221: Kobe Bryant got off to a great start with a solo kill, ranking 7th in personal single-g

Lin Fei walked off the court to the cheers and waved to the Knicks fans in the audience.

Marbury, Eddie Curry and others surrounded Lin Fei, and they all applauded excitedly.

There is no doubt that Lin Fei's strength on the field displayed in tonight's opening game is far stronger than they imagined.

Looking around, the fans in the auditorium, which had been filled with curses in previous games, were all cheering and applauding tonight, which was rare.

Jamal Crawford, Jaylen Rose and others on the team's bench also had to be conquered by Lin Fei's superb performance tonight.

Facing the 28-year-old Kobe Bryant who scored 60+ in a single game, even Michael Jordan at his peak may not be able to do it.

Xiao Swifty and Qin Dongmei, who were sitting in the front row, were naturally excited about Lin Fei's 61-point performance tonight.

After all, in the entire history of the NBA, there are only 61 players who can score 10 points in a single game.

In the luxury box on the roof of the museum, James Dolan had happily drank five large glasses of 52-proof Royal Salute whiskey in a row. He was in high spirits and couldn't help but jump up and down.

In the past, watching Knicks games would make me furious, but tonight I was ecstatic.

"Lin is really too proud of the Knicks and me as the boss. Mad, after paying the luxury tax for so many years, I finally waited for today!"

In excitement, James Dolan took out a thick stack of hundred-dollar knives from the drawer, amounting to tens of thousands, and threw it directly from the box toward the audience below.

Hundreds of U.S. dollar bills scattered like colorful ribbons, falling on the audience.

"Fuck? Who is so incompetent? Throwing things from the box? What? It's banknotes, okay, that's fine!"

"Which big boss is giving out benefits again? I'll take two, just enough for tonight's supper!"

"Haha, I must have seen Lin playing so well tonight, so I just gave away the money on the spot, but this is a bit small, there are tens of thousands of dollars more!"

Seeing some fans fighting on the second floor of the auditorium, the security personnel quickly rushed to maintain order and helped to get in on the action.

Leading by 3 points in the last 9 minutes was a clear advantage for the Knicks, but it was not yet a sure win.

Isaiah Thomas urged the main players to defend at the last moment. Lin was always the main player on the offensive end and actively cooperated with pick-and-roll screens.

For the Lakers, "Zen Master" encouraged everyone to put down their psychological pressure and continue to play steadily in accordance with the tactical guidelines. He also specially praised Al Jefferson.

"Zen Master" is not too concerned about the outcome of the opening game. After all, the Lakers have to take a long-term view. The Lakers have just joined Dayao and Jefferson, and they need to continue to work together to become better.

At least from tonight's game, "Zen Master" saw the hope of the Lakers this season. There is no doubt about the strength of Dayao's number one center in the Western Conference, and the pick-and-roll with Kobe is the Lakers' unsolvable weapon.

And Al Jefferson can also assume the role of the team's third leader, and his role will not be weaker than that of Lamar Odom last season.

As for the team's overall performance tonight, but still failed to beat the Knicks in the end, it can only be said that Lin Fei played too well.

In the 90s and now in the 00s, Phil Jackson coached two of the best shooting guards in league history: Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

But after witnessing Lin Fei's 60+ amazing performance tonight, Phil Jackson had to admit that Lin Fei is closer to the god of basketball than Kobe.

Moreover, his playing style is completely different from Jordan and Kobe. It is a leap-forward innovation on the traditional shooting guard.

Kobe's face was ashen, and his clenched teeth never relaxed.

Although he has scored 40+, which is another efficient personal data, Kobe is not happy at all. Instead, he feels aggrieved and angry.

Letting Lin Fei score 61 points on his own head was a shame that the paranoid and competitive Black Mamba could not accept.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot give up on the outcome of this game.

After the timeout, the main players of the two teams returned to the court.

Isaiah Thomas replaced Quentin Richardson with David Lee to increase the height of the defensive penalty area and rebound protection.

On the "Zen Master" side, Luke Walton replaced Vujacic.

Although he is eager to pursue, Kobe is no longer the young boy who blindly worked alone in his OK period. He has learned to choose the best method on the offensive end.

After a pick-and-roll with Dayao in the high post, Kobe broke through to attract the defense, passed the ball to the basket, and assisted Dayao, who passed down Eddie Curry and dunked directly.

"Boom!"

Knicks (115): (108) Lakers.

Lin Fei frowned slightly, walked up and had a quick conversation with Eddie Curry.

When guarding this kind of offensive player in the pick-and-roll, Eddy Curry's judgment will always be wrong.

When the ball was transferred, Lin Fei and Eddie Curry imitated Yao Ke's pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and misplaced the ball to the hands of Eddie Curry.

Eddie Curry threw away Yao and went to the basket. Facing Al Jefferson's defense, he savagely knocked away and jumped up to dunk in response.

"Boom!"

"Beep!"

Before Eddie Curry could vent his anger, the referee's whistle sounded, and Eddie Curry was called for an offensive foul.

As the Knicks had already reached the foul count in the final quarter, Eddy Curry's offensive foul sent Al Jefferson, who fell to the ground, directly to the free throw line.

Eddie Curry spread his hands and became emotional and chattered at the referee. Marbury and Lin Fei quickly stopped him and almost received another technical foul.

Judging from the high-definition four-sided screen playback above his head, Al Jefferson was indeed standing outside the half-arc of the reasonable collision zone, but the time he moved laterally was also a bit hasty.

Therefore, the offensive foul awarded to Eddie Curry this time is indeed controversial.

There were scattered black whistles and curses from the fans. Although it was the Knicks' home court, the referee still hoped that the game would be as anxious as possible until the end.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Al Jefferson, who stepped to the free throw line, made both free throws. The Lakers went 4-0 and the point difference was only 5 points.

Knicks (115): (110) Lakers.

At the critical moment, Lin Fei did not engage in any tactical coordination and brought the ball to the frontcourt, obviously intending to beat Kobe Bryant alone again.

All the other players on the two teams distanced themselves, creating enough space for Lin Fei and Kobe to duel.

Kobe, who was holding the jersey in his mouth, had a fierce look in his eyes, like a hungry wolf. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few cold words:

"Lin, I will definitely guard you this time!"

Lin Fei also said the most cruel words calmly:

"Corvo, I will definitely score this time! Even if God comes, don't even try to stop me!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Fei suddenly started, changing his crotch backwards and then connecting with a vertical drag step. While quickly adjusting Kobe's defensive position, he suddenly made a diagonal breakthrough and passed half of Kobe's body in a flash.

"Whoosh!"

Kobe turned over and chased after him. Obviously, he would rather let Lin Fei rush in than let him shoot a three-pointer from the outside.

Lin Fei did not hesitate. He accelerated and reached the three-point line. He took one step into the penalty area and then hesitated to adjust his rhythm.

While throwing Kobe in front of him, he suddenly made a realistic worshiping movement. Although Kobe was not shaken, he still pounced forward subconsciously.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei lowered his center of gravity and accelerated again. Finally, he passed Kobe's whole body. After getting to the basket, he used his body to cover and directly layup with a low hand and threw the ball.

Kobe suddenly jumped up behind him to chase the ball. After all, he was half a beat too slow. The basketball bounced on the rim. After four or five bumps, it finally fell out.

Lin Fei's dribbling breakthrough level has reached the top of the league, but his 72-point layup attribute is still far behind.

The entire process from breakthrough to layup was textbook-level, but the angle and intensity of the final shot were still not grasped well.

Before the Knicks fans at home could feel pity, two figures suddenly jumped up from the basket to compete for rebounds. It was Dayao and Eddie Curry.

"Snapped!"

The ball was shot by Yao in the first shot. David Lee, who was actively fighting for it, had quick eyesight and quick hands. He got rid of his opponent Al Jefferson and took the lead in controlling the ball near the axis area on the right side of the free throw line.

Marbury quickly came up to respond, watching in all directions at the same time. After receiving the pass from David Lee, he turned over and made a wonderful pass. The ball quickly flew to the left side of the three-point line at a 30-degree angle.

"Whoosh!"

At this time, Lin Fei, who was diagonally inserted from the basket, used a cross screen with Ariza to get rid of Kobe and accurately received Marbury's pass.

He was one step outside the three-point line and had no time to make any adjustments. He jumped up directly, faced the defense of Walton and Kobe, and threw the ball decisively with an extremely exaggerated backward angle.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball flew leisurely from the fingertips of the two defensive hands and roared towards the basket 8 meters away.

"boom!"

"Shh!"

Fourteenth.

An explosive three-pointer off the board made the nervous fans at Madison Square Garden suddenly burst into joy.

"boom!"

Lin Fei also fell to the court floor, and Walton and Kobe almost didn't follow him.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle also sounded, and Luke Walton was called for a foul on Lin Fei's shooting.

3+1.

Although he prevented Lin Fei's first breakthrough layup, he was unable to limit his second offensive three-point shot.

Kobe's face was as heavy as water with beads of sweat on his forehead. His defense ended in failure after all.

Marbury and Eddie Curry pumped their fists and shouted excitedly, and rushed to help Lin Fei who fell to the ground.

Two young players, David Lee and Trevor Ariza, also felt the team's unity and their own value with the second score of this collective effort.

Although the difficulty level of Lin Fei's fade-back 3+1 is unparalleled, as the saying goes, those who are capable work hard, and the fans seem to have become accustomed to Lin Fei who continues to play superstar balls.

On the contrary, Marbury, who sent precise passes, and David Lee, who actively fought for rebounds, gave Knicks fans more hope.

"The Knicks are really different. If we can play like tonight in every game, we are definitely capable of beating any team in the Eastern Conference!"

"Stephen Marbury has actually 11 assists? Tonight's Marbury should be the most correct way for him to start!"

"Who doesn't want to win, who doesn't want to win? Lao Ma is so pitiful, he finally has his best partner!"

"David Lee actually grabbed 7 rebounds tonight. You can't tell. A white forward who doesn't have top-level jumping talent has such an excellent rebounding awareness!"

"Shh!"

Amid the cheers of "mvp" that filled the Knicks' home court, Lin Fei calmly walked to the free throw line and hit the extra penalty steadily.

With this wave of 4-point success, Lin Fei's personal score tonight also reached 65 points.

"Mygod, with 65 points in a single game, Lin has surpassed Malone and O'Neal and soared to 8th place in the single-game scoring list of NBA historical stars!"

"This is an incredible 3+1. Lin's backward angle when he took off was very exaggerated, almost forming a 45-degree angle with the ground!"

"At the same time, this 3+1 is also the most perfect goal for the Knicks tonight. Eddie Curry and David Lee's active fight, Stephon Marbury's wonderful pass, and Ariza's running position Screening all lays the foundation for Lin’s catching and shooting!”

Knicks (119): (110) Lakers.

The point difference was once again stretched to 9 points, and on the timer at this time, there was only the last 1 minute and 39 seconds left before the end of the final quarter.

Recovering 100 points in less than 9 seconds is an extremely difficult task for any NBA team.

"Zen Master" did not choose to call a timeout to make arrangements, and basically planned to give up the game.

In front of Lin Fei who is so awesome tonight, it may not be that easy for the Heat to win the game, let alone the current Lakers.

But Phil Jackson believes that Lin Fei's performance tonight can only be regarded as a super level performance. It is impossible for any superstar to perform such a crazy performance every night.

If this is the case, then he is no longer a human being, but a god.

On the court, Kobe used the pick-and-roll to force a three-point shot from the outside. The basketball bounced off the frame and Al Jefferson, who grabbed the offensive rebound, missed a half-volume layup.

"Bang!"

The defensive rebound was protected by Eddie Curry, Lin Fei dribbled to delay time, and the Knicks were already sure of victory.

Time quickly came to the last minute of the final quarter. As Lin Fei went to the free throw line after being fouled and made two free throws steadily, the Knicks' lead had reached 1 points.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Madison Square Garden burst into cheers. Many fans jumped up from their seats with excitement, twisted their waists and danced awkwardly. Some fans even sang songs.

Isaiah Thomas called a timeout and replaced Lin Fei and the main players with satisfaction.

The "Zen Master" also surrendered. Rather than losing to the Knicks tonight, the Lakers lost to Lin Fei alone.

林飞今晚在出场36分钟的时间里,高效狂轰67分10助攻1篮板4抢断2封盖。

At the same time, he broke many NBA opening game records and single-handedly defeated the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant and Dayao.

Lin Fei walked off the court and high-fived and hugged every teammate on the bench. He was learning how to be a qualified team leader.

At this time, Lin Fei's historical ranking of 67 points in a single game was also displayed on the high-definition four-sided screen.

In the 60-year history of the NBA, no one can score more points in a single game than Lin Fei’s 67 points tonight.

There are only seven players: Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, David Thompson, Elgin Baylor, David Robinson, Jordan and Maravich.

“全场只出战36分钟,合计27投20中,三分球18投14中,两分球9投6中,罚球13中13,狂轰67分10助攻4抢断2封盖!”

"Among all the players in the NBA who have scored 60 points, Lin spent the least time, took the fewest shots, and also had the highest shooting percentage!"

"This opening game is destined to go down in the history of the NBA. Lin's arrival has really brought about a huge turnaround for the Knicks. I think those experts should re-evaluate the Knicks' competitiveness in the Eastern Conference!"

The whistle that ended the game soon blew. The unwilling Kobe did not greet Lin Fei after the game, but turned around and walked into the tunnel with a sullen face.

Knicks (123): (114) Lakers.

There were cheers inside and outside Madison Garden Square, and the fans were reluctant to leave the field for a long time, enjoying the sweet taste of victory.

Unable to wait for the post-game press conference, ESPN beauty reporter Erin Andrews walked up to Lin Fei excitedly on high heels and excitedly interviewed this old friend.

"Lin, your performance tonight was really great. This will be a game I will never forget!"

"You scored 27 points in only 67 shots. What does this mean to you?"

Lin Fei spoke seriously into the microphone handed over by Andrews:

"First of all, I want to thank my teammates and coaches, and the New York fans for their fanatical support. Without them, there would be no victory tonight, and there would be no 67 points for me!"

"This game is of great significance to me. After bidding farewell to the past three seasons, my NBA career is entering a new stage!"

"Lin, you faced Kobe throughout the whole game tonight. You scored 67 points, 10 assists and 4 steals, beating Kobe's 45 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and led the team to victory!"

"So in your opinion, do you think you have surpassed Kobe in terms of personal strength?"

"I think the fans should know the answer to this question best. The performance on the court can speak for itself!"

"Lin, Kobe Bryant scored 1 points in the game against the Raptors in January, and he took 81 shots in that game. If you can take 46 shots in one night, do you think you can break Kobe's 46 points?" Is it even Zhang Bolun’s 81-point historical record?”

Lin Fei put his hands on his hips and continued into the microphone:

"My first goal when I step on the court is always to lead the team to win the game. As for how many shots I have to take and how many points I can score, everything will be determined by the game situation!"

"If the team needs me to take 30 or even 40 shots to win the game, then I will attack like crazy without hesitation!"

"Now I can only say that 67 points and 100 three-pointers in a single game will definitely not be my limit. Wilt's points in a single game will also not be the limit of basketball and NBA!"
