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

Harden, a senior in high school, is already the school's absolute main force, and has also been selected into the all-American high school star lineup. Many prestigious NCAA universities have already offered him an olive branch in advance.

Looking back to the Target Center Arena, after some twists and turns, the game resumed.

Eddie Curry was injured due to an elbow injury, and Isaiah Thomas could only let Channing Frye take the center position.

Channing Frye, who is 2.11 meters tall, is the inside swingman at positions 4 and 5. Like David Lee, he was a rookie in 2005.

Frye was the No. 8 lottery pick in the first round. In his rookie season with the Knicks, he averaged 12.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. Such data also earned him selection to the All-Rookie Team.

But seeing that David Lee, who was not as good as him, was put into the starting lineup in the new season, not only did he still sit on the bench, he even reduced his playing time.

Channing Frye was naturally dissatisfied with the management's arrangements, but there was nothing he could do about it.

In the original world, in the second season of Frye's career, as his playing time increased, his data declined significantly, and he was subsequently ruthlessly traded by the Knicks.

After two more seasons with the Trail Blazers and then going to the Suns, he opened up a new way of using himself and began to take more outside three-pointers.

In Lin Fei's view, although Frye is ranked high in the draft and has sufficient height and wingspan, his poor confrontation, easy injury, and slow lateral movement limit his upper limit.

Obviously Frye is not worthy of great efforts to train him, but it is very necessary for him to train three-pointers in advance in the Knicks and develop his high turret attributes.

If Frye can show good outside shooting ability in the Knicks, the Knicks will not suffer a loss whether he stays or trades him in the future.

In addition to Eddie Curry and Channing Frye, the Knicks also have a ton-level center inside: Jerome James.

Although he is 2.13 meters tall, he weighs 136 kilograms and more than 300 pounds. He is fatter than Eddie Curry. He has no talent at all. He is full of misdeeds off the court and has a poor attitude towards the game. He averages 3 points and 2 rebounds per game. With an annual salary of more than 500 million US dollars, I can be his water dispenser keeper with peace of mind.

The Knicks still have a lot of problems on the bench, and Thomas' coaching staff and management need to make further adjustments.

Lin Fei took the lead in executing two free throws from Artest's second-level foul, and both of them were successful.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Immediately afterwards, Szebiak also executed Marbury's technical foul free throw.

"Shh!"

The Knicks served and attacked from the sideline. Lin Fei held the ball from the top of the arc and faced Gerald Wallace. He pretended to step back after a breakthrough, suddenly took off to face the opponent, bent his bow and nocked an arrow to shoot another.

Gerrard's defense is good, but only for ordinary players, but it is not yet at the level of the best defensive team. His defensive advantage is more reflected in assisting defense.

"Shh!"

The basketball went hollow into the net. This was Lin Fei's fifth three-pointer tonight.

McHale, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned. Now Artest was sent off. If Lin Fei continues to feel hot, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the Timberwolves.

Letting Gerald Wallace carry him alone is obviously not an option. It seems that Lin Fei must be double-teamed appropriately.

Looking back, the Timberwolves also seized on the weakness of the Knicks' interior defense. Garnett hit Channing Frye with a back-up and easily turned over to break through. He licked the basket and sent the ball steadily into the basket.

"Shh!"

"Man, you are as skinny as a black monkey. I think the trash can is the best place for you!"

Faced with Garnett's scoring and trash talk, the honest Channing Frye seemed helpless.

Marbury's breakthrough layup failed, and the Timberwolves launched a counterattack and fast break. Gerald Wallace drove Ariza to the basket, leaped up and threw another dunk.

"Boom!"

"Beep!"

The ball went in and the buzzer sounded, and the referee signaled that Gerrard's dunk was valid, which also caused a foul on Ariza's shooting hand.

2+1.

The Target Center Arena burst into cheers. Although Artest was sent off, the Timberwolves team quickly gained momentum at home, causing the Knicks' defense to collapse.

"Shh!"

With Gerald Wallace going to the free throw line and hitting the extra free throw, the Timberwolves also led by 12 points.

Knicks (37): (49) Timberwolves.

Isaiah Thomas quickly called a timeout to interrupt the Timberwolves' fierce momentum.

Marbury's condition was average tonight, coupled with Eddie Curry's injury and retirement, the Timberwolves actively cut off the Knicks' ball transmission, which resulted in Lin Fei having to fight alone.

Fortunately, from the current point of view, Lin Fei made 6 of 5 three-pointers very efficiently, with a hot touch. He made 9 free throws and made all of them.

But the Timberwolves will never let Lin Fei play in isolation. Once double-teamed, whether the Knicks' role players can step up will be a major question.

"The Timberwolves' momentum has obviously increased. If the Knicks can't hold on, the game may be taken away early!"

"Facing the top teams in the Western Conference, the Knicks' lineup integration problem was clearly exposed. If Lin is the only one who fights alone, I am afraid that even if he scores 60+ tonight, it will be difficult for the Knicks to win!"

"The depth of the Timberwolves' lineup is terrifying. Even without Artest, there are still five players on the team averaging double figures per game!"

"It is almost impossible to win against the Timberwolves, who are both offensive and defensive, just relying on Lin's superb performance!"

On the court, back from timeout.

Isaiah Thomas replaced Trevor Ariza with Quentin Richardson, who had committed three fouls.

Lin Fei continued to attack with the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.

Seeing that the Knicks team was completely passive in terms of momentum, Lin Fei knew that he had to score a powerful goal as soon as possible to boost the low morale of his teammates.

Facing Gerald Wallace's defense, Lin Fei used a sharp change of direction to directly pass his opponent, speeding up his dribbling to reach the three-point line.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing that Szebiak was the first to come up to cover the defense, Lin Feiyi turned around and changed direction again, and directly entered the penalty area close to his friend's side.

Seeing Kevin Garnett, the last line of defense at the basket, Lin Fei, whose layup attribute was only 73 points, did not make a strong shot, but accurately distributed the ball to Marbury, who passed Arroyo and cut in from the left.

After receiving the ball, Marbury went straight to the basket and threw the ball towards the basket with Garnett pulling the rod.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the steel backboard at a strange angle. It bounced to the right and then deviated too far from the basket. It flew directly across the bridge.

Just when the Timberwolves players and fans at the scene thought that Marbury made an outrageous non-stick basket under Garnett's strict guard,

What happened in the next moment left everyone stunned.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei, who soared into the air from the right, happened to receive Marbury's pass, and without any defensive interference, he dunked directly into the basket.

"Boom!"

The staff in front of the technical desk quickly wrote down +1 rebounds and +2 points on Lin Fei's data column.

At the same time, Marbury was also credited with an assist.

After the dunk landed, Lin Fei pumped his fist and roared, and high-fived Marbury when he returned to defense. This was a tacit cooperation between the Knicks' defenders.

For being teased in a 2-on-1 by Lin Fei and Marbury, the "Wolf King" Garnett guarding the basket was obviously extremely angry. He came to the offensive end and asked for the ball to beat Channing Frye, and he turned over and hit another jumper.

"Shh!"

The second-year Frye is completely unable to guard against the peak Wolf King. If the Knicks don't double-team, it will be in vain.

Lin Fei came to the offensive end to get the ball, and once again chose to coach Gerald Wallace on the outside. This time, he failed to hit the step-back three-pointer. The basketball bounced out of the frame and was protected by Garnett on the backboard.

However, the Wolves were too hasty in the counterattack fast break. Arroyo made a mistake in passing the ball and was completely intercepted by Marbury.

"Snapped!"

Lin Fei took advantage of the chaos and quickly turned over to throw away the defense and cut into the penalty area. He received Marbury's pass, avoided Gerrard's chasing block, and made a layup with a low hand to score two more points.

"Shh!"

The first half of the game ended quickly. Driven by Lin Fei's efficient half-time score of 31 points, 3 assists and 1 steal, the Knicks barely maintained a point difference of less than 15 points.

Knicks (49): (63) Timberwolves.

"Although Lin has shown more and more comprehensive skills on the offensive end, the Knicks' overall defense is still too poor, giving the Timberwolves too many easy scoring opportunities!"

"Facing the top teams, the Knicks still have too many problems. Coupled with Eddie Curry's injury, this will undoubtedly make it worse!"

"At present, there is no good way to deal with the Knicks. In the second half, we can only let Lin increase his efforts. After all, his singles efficiency is obviously higher than the overall cooperation of the team!"

After the start of the third quarter, Isaiah Thomas really let Lin Fei start his personal singles mode, and the other players were fully responsible for covering pick-and-rolls and actively grabbing rebounds.

Timberwolves coach McHale also adjusted his defensive strategy according to the situation, allowing Gerald Wallace, Trenton Hassell, Szebiak and Ricky Davis to defend Lin Fei in turns.

It consumes Lin Fei's physical energy and interferes with his mentality. At the same time, he also double-teams decisively depending on the situation and opportunity.

Under continuous singles with the ball, Lin Fei's efficiency inevitably declined significantly. He took 10 shots in a single quarter, but only hit 5 goals, including 3 three-pointers and 2 two-pointers, plus 4 free throws. Another 17 points.

Under tight double-teaming at the end of the quarter, Lin Fei also sent out 3 assists one after another to help his teammates score open shots.

On the offensive end, the Knicks scored 25 points in a single quarter, but on the defensive end, the Timberwolves scored 28 points, and the point difference was widened to 17 points.

Knicks (74): (91) Timberwolves.

In the final quarter, the Timberwolves had the momentum to end the game early. Szebiak scored two three-pointers in a row, and Danny Granger also broke through Quentin Richardson to score 2+1.

The Timberwolves blasted a 9-2 run, extending their lead to 24 points.

On the timer, there were only 10 minutes and 03 seconds left before the end of the final quarter.

Isaiah Thomas called a timeout again and looked at Lin Fei on the bench who only rested for less than 2 minutes. He was really worried that this would cause Lin Fei to be injured.

It was just an inconsequential regular season game, and with Eddie Curry withdrawing due to injury, it was basically impossible to recover 10 points in the last 24 minutes of the final quarter.

Therefore, Isaiah Thomas made a prompt decision and did not replace Lin Fei in advance. Instead, he planned to let the game go and only replaced Marbury to see the situation.

Lin Fei didn't force himself to play. After all, he couldn't make a big comeback with his own efforts. What's more, the Timberwolves were in hot form tonight, and the shooting percentages of the starting substitutes were quite high.

Although he has the belief and will to compete in every game, Lin Fei, who has played in the league for three seasons, is more aware of the long and circuitous NBA regular season.

Appropriately giving up some games where the score is behind, conserving energy to avoid injuries, learning lessons and analyzing experience, these are the qualities a professional player needs to possess.

Although he felt that the game was over, Lin Fei still smiled and patted Marbury, Crawford and others who were about to play, encouraging everyone to actively chase points.

Sitting on the bench, Lin Fei exchanged experiences with Ariza next to him about tonight's game and provided guidance and suggestions on some of Ariza's defensive issues.

Ariza is convinced of Lin Fei's defensive level on the court. As a standard 3D player, Ariza naturally hopes to learn more skills from Lin Fei.

"That's right, Trevor, you can't be easily fooled when defending Gerrard. His fake moves are actually not standard and full of flaws. As long as you analyze them carefully, it's easy to see through these little tricks!"

"It's not that you can't take risks to steal, but you must do it with confidence and at the same time have teammates on the flanks to help defend, so that the loss can be minimized!"

Originally, Lin Fei and head coach Thomas had given up on this game in their hearts, but unexpectedly, under the leadership of Marbury and Crawford, the Knicks had a magical scoring climax.

In the absence of the Timberwolves' Wolf King and Gerald Wallace, Marbury began to show off his power, breaking through the basket twice in a row and scoring difficult layups.

Immediately afterwards, Crawford also completed a steal on the defensive end, and in the counterattack fast break, he broke through and passed the ball to Quentin Richardson on the outside, who shot a three-pointer and shot through the heart.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves inevitably slack off when leading by a big score, and their offensive choices become arbitrary.

Szczerbiak, who hit 5 three-pointers tonight, suddenly felt cold, and his next two outside shots ended in blackouts.

Danny Granger, who is not good at three-pointers, also tried a three-pointer from the outside, but still missed.

With a 7-0 wave, the Knicks once again brought the point difference back to within 20 points.

At the critical moment, Szebiak rushed to the basket with the ball and scored two points against David Lee, helping the Timberwolves stabilize the situation.

However, looking back, Marbury, who had no scruples, took advantage of the screen and shot a three-pointer directly from the outside. The basketball went hollow into the net and pierced the heart with an arrow.

"Shh!"

Danny Granger's ball-handling breakthrough caused Channing Frye's hitter foul, and he went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws.

"Bang!"

"Shh!"

Looking back, Crawford Jordan was possessed, holding the ball and driving to the basket. He pushed two people to pull the stick and put the ball in. At the same time, Granger's thug was fouled.

2+1.

"Shh!"

As Crawford went to the free throw line and there were additional penalties, the Knicks had quickly chased the point difference to 15 points.

Knicks (88): (103) Timberwolves.

On the timer, there are still 6 minutes and 10 seconds left in the final quarter.

With Lin Fei taking a break, the Knicks chased 4 points in less than 9 minutes, magically bringing the suspense back to the game.

Timberwolves head coach McHale quickly called a long timeout, preparing to replace the main force to stabilize the situation.

Lin Fei, Ariza and others on the Knicks bench jumped up excitedly, applauding and cheering for the performance of Marbury, Crawford and others.

It seems difficult to recover 10 points in 24 minutes, but it seems to be slightly easier to recover 6 points in 15 minutes.

Isaiah Thomas was also excited by the point-chasing climax brought by Marbury, but he still hesitated whether to replace Lin Fei for another run.

But Lin Fei had already quickly taken off his coat at this time, raised his arms and expanded his chest to prepare for his reappearance.

"Coach, our hope of winning is back. I believe in Stephen and Jamal. The Knicks must not give up easily like this!"

Thomas nodded decisively, patted Lin Fei on the shoulder and said, "Lin, go ahead and fight. Regardless of victory or defeat, I will stand in the first row and applaud you!"

The Timberwolves fans at home were a little surprised that the Knicks quickly recovered the point difference to 15 points, but they were not worried about being reversed.

After all, when the main force comes back, the Knicks' point-chasing momentum will inevitably be quickly curbed, even with Lin Fei here.

After the timeout, the Timberwolves sent out a first- and fourth-small lineup of Marbury, Lin Fei, Jamal Crawford, Trevor Ariza and David Lee.

Obviously, I want to speed up the pace and finally win.

As for defense, the Knicks can't stop the Timberwolves inside, so they might as well remove the center and use offense as defense.

Seeing Lin Fei reappearing in the last 6 minutes of the final quarter, many Timberwolves fans at the scene also became excited.

Mike Breen and Reggie Miller in front of the commentary desk were also in high spirits:

"Lin is back on the field. He has scored 48 points in the first three quarters. It seems that tonight will be at least another 50+ scoring feast!"

"It's just that it's too difficult for the Knicks to reverse a 15-point deficit and defeat the Timberwolves!"

On the court, the Timberwolves attack.

Garnett faced David Lee in the high post and dribbled directly into the penalty area.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei decisively let go of Davis in advance and stepped forward to double-team. The Wolf King faced Lin Fei and sent a throw.

"Bang!"

Under Lin Fei's effective interference, the Wolf King failed to hit the ball, but a figure flew up from the slanting shot under the basket and directly grabbed the ball in the air to complete the dunk.

"Boom!"

It was Gerald Wallace who got rid of Ariza.

打到现在，杰拉德·华莱士已经拿到了23分8篮板3助攻1抢断1封盖，仅次于狼王的26分11篮板，毫无疑问是今晚森林狼大比分领先的第二功臣。

Standing on the sidelines, Isaiah Thomas frowned slightly. At the critical moment of chasing points, the lack of defense in the penalty area really made people feel helpless.

Coming to the offensive end, facing Gerrard's fierce defense, Lin Fei did not play alone directly. Instead, he gave the ball to Jamal Crawford, who was in hot form, and motioned for him to play alone.

Faced with the trust of his boss at the critical moment, Crawford did his part. Against the defense of Ricky Davis, he made continuous crossover changes and breakthroughs, and moved sideways near the axis area to make an emergency stop and take decisive shots.

"Shh!"

The basketball hits the net hollowly and hits the target steadily.

Knicks (100): (115) Timberwolves.

The point difference is still 15 points.

When Lin Fei returned to defense, he took the initiative to come up and high-five Crawford. The Knicks team seemed to be more motivated to chase points.

Back on the defensive end, Arroyo held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with the Wolf King in the high position. After misplaced the ball, Marbury and David Lee rushed up to double-team the Wolf King.

Marbury, with his quick eyes and hands, cut the basketball out of Garnett's hand and completed a key steal.

"Snapped!"

As an old teammate of the Timberwolves, Marbury can be said to have always lived in the shadow of Garnett. He lost more than he won in many games. Tonight, he was holding back his anger and was waiting to vent at the critical moment.

Seeing Marbury complete the steal, Lin Fei flashed his eyes and galloped away from his opponent Davis, walked to the wing and accelerated into the frontcourt.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Marbury quickly passed the ball to Lin Fei who was rushing up front on the right wing.

After receiving the ball, Lin Fei stepped into the frontcourt. Facing Ricky Davis, who was overtaking and catching up at the corner, he suddenly stopped and retreated in two steps.

While traveling at high speed, he completely lost the distance between himself and his opponent, jumped up on the spot, bent his bow and drew an arrow, and shot decisively to pursue the three-pointer.

"Shh!"

With this three-pointer, Lin Fei's personal score tonight officially reached 51 points.

The Timberwolves obviously did not realize the seriousness of the problem and continued to play steadily after coming to the offensive end.

Gerald Wallace held the ball from the high post on the right side and drove past Ariza. After getting to the basket, he jumped up and was about to deliver a powerful dunk.

Lin Fei, who decisively let go of his opponent from the left and quickly moved down, followed Gerrard's footsteps and flew up.

The long arms gathered strength as if they were leaning against the sky and unsheathed, and they aimed at the basketball that Gerrard was about to dunk into the basket, and slapped it down with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan.

"Snapped!"

This was a powerful frontal shot. The basketball bounced directly off the steel backboard and was just in time for David Lee to turn around and get it.

David Lee quickly gave the ball to the nearby Crawford, and he drove the ball at full speed, dribbling and accelerating into the frontcourt.

Marbury and Lin Fei quickly followed up, and the Knicks' fast break was galloping.

The Timberwolves' defense was also very timely. The Wolf King strode behind Crawford, ready to send a chasing shot at any time.

Crawford, who dribbled into the penalty area, deliberately adjusted his pace in order to confuse the Wolf King who was chasing after him. He jumped high and immediately dunked.

"Snapped!"

Garnett has experienced many battles, how could he be fooled by Crawford's tricks?His tall body rose into the air, and his big hands slammed the basketball onto the steel backboard.

This is a shocking flying shot.

However, before the Timberwolves fans at the scene cheered, the situation on the court suddenly changed again.

"boom!"

The basketball rebounded vigorously from the steel backboard and was caught by Marbury who was following up. He turned over and made a quick diagonal pass.

Lin Fei, who followed up from the right, accurately caught the ball outside the three-point line. He stopped suddenly and shook Gerald Wallace who was catching up. He then calmly took off and chased for a three-pointer and shot another.

"Shh!"

and also.

"Beep!"

3+1.
