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

Chapter 103 [103] The Heat's off-the-ball offensive system set a new halftime record for three-pointers. Kobe panicked!

"Next, our offense will completely switch to the team's second tactical system. The offense will be completely centered around Lin. Lin is the only core of the team's offensive end!"

"Dwayne, Shaquille, Eddie and Wang, you must always be ready to cover Lin on the offensive end and seize the best opportunity to pass the ball to him!"

"Then everyone has to be ready to actively grab offensive rebounds and have a second chance to attack!"

"Since the Western Conference finals last season, Lin has never missed two consecutive three-pointers in a game!"

"As long as we try to get more offensive rebounds, Lin's three-point firepower can continue!"

Stan Van Gundy has sharp eyes, and has already decided to put all the burden of winning and losing the game tonight and the offensive burden on Lin Fei alone.

In fact, long before the start of the Heat's new season, as head coach Stan Van Gundy and general manager Pat Riley, as well as members of the Heat's coaching staff,

Based on Lin Fei's personal offensive characteristics, he formulated a complete offensive system.

The Heat's first offensive system revolved around Wade and O'Neal. It fully borrowed from the triangle offense of the Lakers' OK period, coupled with Lin Fei's outside threat, to create more opportunities to score in the penalty area.

The second offensive system is completely developed around Lin Fei alone, which can also be called an "off-the-ball offensive system".

In the first two games of the new season, the Heat's first offensive system can be said to be running quite smoothly. Wade and O'Neal also scored 30+ respectively, and the overall statistics are very comprehensive.

The Heat also got two big victories as a result.

But tonight, seeing that O'Neal was not patient enough to play against Dayao under the basket, he had already received 3 fouls before halftime.
It is also difficult for Wade to break into the penalty area under the targeted defense of the Rockets. The mid-range and half-block shots feel too iron.

In addition, McGrady scored 24 points in less than a quarter and a half, and the Heat also trailed the Rockets by 14 points.

Stan Van Gundy made up his mind to win by chance, and also used this unimportant regular season to practice the Heat's second set of offensive tactics.

This second offensive system is also the so-called "off-the-ball offensive system".

The core idea is based on Lin Fei's terrifying three-point shooting percentage, let the surrounding teammates go through the non-stop complex screens and elevator doors, and try their best to create opportunities for Lin Fei to catch the ball.

Whether it was the Timberwolves in the finals last season or the Heat at the beginning of the new season, in fact, Lin Fei has not been given many shots, and the average shot per game has always been less than 10 times.

In G6 of the finals last season, on the night of the Timberwolves' championship, Lin Fei scored a career-high 35 points in a single game, but he only took 11 shots.

Such a terrifying scoring efficiency can definitely be said to be the highest in NBA history. If Lin Fei tried to make 15 or even 20 shots in a game, what would the result be?

Stan Van Gundy made up his mind tonight, and let Lin Fei, with the help of all his Heat teammates, make a shot without hesitation.

"As long as there is an opportunity after the screen, even if the opportunity is not good, as long as Lin is not in a double-team situation, give the ball to him decisively and let him finish it!"

"Lin, you have to be prepared to take 20 shots tonight, or even more!"

Big Van Gundy looked dignified, patted Lin Fei on the shoulder, his eyes were full of anticipation.

Wade and O'Neal are also full of fantasies about the possibility of the Heat's "off-the-ball offensive system". Tonight's game can definitely be said to be a bold experiment.

"Lin, it looks like you're going to break Kobe's record of 12 three-pointers in a single game tonight!"

"That guy's record should have been broken a long time ago, Lin, don't hesitate when you get the ball, shoot decisively, and the offensive rebound is on me!"

Thinking that Lin Fei might break Kobe's record, O'Neill inexplicably became full of energy and fighting spirit.

Although Eddie Jones was not as enthusiastic as Wade and O'Neal, he also completely obeyed the head coach's arrangement. He wanted to see what the upper limit of points in a game was for Lin Fei, who had unlimited firepower.

Mostly excited, he knew that tonight would probably be Lin Fei's record night again.

Haslem feels that Lin Fei himself is the material for the team's second and third leaders. If he takes too many shots, then under the influence of physical fitness and defense, the shooting rate is likely to plummet.

Sensing the importance of the head coach and the enthusiastic anticipation of the main teammates, Lin Fei nodded vigorously, and the burden on his shoulders instantly became heavier.

Originally, I thought about developing a season or two of wretchedness, and then mixed with Shark and Flash for another championship or two.

Unexpectedly, now that the third game of the new season has just been played, he will make his own appearance as a thigh for Ao Pang Wade.

"Give me all the balls, I can hit more!"

Lin Fei knew that as the number of shots increased, the pressure on the defensive end would inevitably increase, and the difficulty of hitting three-pointers would also increase exponentially.

But a soldier who doesn't want to be a general will never be a good soldier. Now that the opportunity has come, Lin Fei must not back down.

As long as the ball is passed to him, no matter how tight the defense is, he will try his best to throw that damn basketball.

Although the Heat's "second offensive system" has never been fully used in official games, it is often used in off-court training and game transitions.

Therefore, after a timeout, the moment the Heat Five stepped onto the court, their state and offensive mode quickly completed the switch.

The Heat attacked, Wade dribbled the ball forward, and continued to land near the 45-degree three-point line on the right, facing Jim Jackson's defense.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei quickly rushed up from the top of the arc and made a screen with Wade on the right, and continued to quickly step into the 0-degree angle on the right.

Jim Jackson immediately switched to block Lin Fei's receiving space, and Bob Sura also quickly switched to Wade.

This time, the Heat's usual strong-side triangle offensive cover did not fool the Rockets' sharp defense.

But what happened next gradually exceeded the control of the Rockets' defensive end.

O'Neal, who was in the low position on the strong side, quickly mentioned the three-point line on Lin Fei's side, and made a high-quality screen for Lin Fei. His strong body completely blocked Jim Jackson.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei accelerated from a 0-degree angle on the right and then ran back to move towards the top of the arc. Dayao had no choice but to let go of O'Neal and chase Lin Fei.

O'Neal took advantage of the situation and turned quickly to the penalty area, ready to receive a pass from Wade and send a dunk directly.

Juwan Howard on the weak side had no choice but to step up to defend Dayao and go around to interfere with his catch.

The one who was emptied quickly rushed to the top of the arc from the right side, ready to cover Lin Fei again.

"Whoosh!"

The rough screen successfully delayed Dayao's pursuit, coupled with Dayao's own lateral movement at a slower speed, gave Lin Fei an excellent opportunity outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side of the frontcourt.

At this time, McGrady on the weak side was pinned down by Eddie Jones in the bottom corner, and there was no time to change.

Wade pretended to be ready for the breakthrough and quickly passed the ball to Lin Fei.

After receiving the ball, Lin Fei took off calmly, and he hadn't shot such an easy wide open for a long time.

"Shh!"

the seventh.

Wade, O'Neal and almost three consecutive screens allowed Lin Fei to completely run out of the open space and catch the ball and pass Yang with three-pointers.

Mike Breen in front of the commentary on the sidelines couldn't help but exclaim:
"The Heat obviously made tactical adjustments after coming back from the timeout, and brought Lin to the position of the first main attack point!"

"Three consecutive screens, plus the deterrence of O'Neal turning over and going down the penalty area, all revolved around allowing Lin to catch the ball. This also reflects the unity and tacit understanding of the Heat team!"

On the court, Tracy McGrady and Lin Fei were obviously on the bar, and the Rockets were confident that they were leading by double digits. During the counterattack, they made another three-pointer from the outside.

This time Eddie Jones did a good job of defending, which caused some interference to McGrady's shot.

"Bang!"

The basketball missed, and the long rebound bounced crookedly, just falling into Juwan Howard's hands.

The general defense was posted quickly, without giving Uncle Huo an easy shot.

On the other hand, Lin Fei, relying on his nearby position and excellent defensive awareness, rushed up and roughly double-teamed, catching Second Uncle Huo by surprise.

Lin Fei and General's double-teaming made Uncle Huo almost make a mistake, so he was eager to pass the ball to Dayao in the low post.

But Howard's pass was too hasty, Dayao didn't hold the ball firmly, and O'Neal rushed up and cut it off.

"Snapped!"

Sharks steal +1.

After a timeout, O'Neal changed his role on the offensive end, and O'Neal seemed to be refreshed again, turning over and giving the ball to Wade, who was about to go down the left.

"Whoosh!"

Wade's speed is really too fast. He changed direction and threw away Jim Jackson, who was behind him, and accelerated to kill the frontcourt.

McGrady saw that Wade was about to break fast and send a dunk. Naturally, he let go of Eddie Jones in the middle, and quickly caught up to stop the Flash.

Wade, who entered the penalty area, faced McGrady and Jim Jackson's front and rear double-teams, and quickly passed the ball back to Eddie Jones who followed up.

Eddie Jones, who took the ball at the top of the arc, was wide open and unmarked at this time, but he was not in a hurry to shoot.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing the opportunity, Lin Fei, who came down from the right, made a counter-run and made a cross screen with Eddie Jones at the top of the three-point arc. Bob Sura, who was chasing him, was instantly delayed.

In the process of covering with Lin Fei, Eddie Jones also handed the ball to Lin Fei.

After Lin Fei took the ball, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow at his familiar position at a 45-degree angle on the right and shot another.

McGrady and Jim Jackson are both restrained by Wade in the penalty area at this time. How can there be too late to block them out?I can only watch the basketball fly over my head and roar towards the basket.

"Shh!"

The eighth.

Another perimeter screen by a vacated player, roughly last time, this time Eddie Jones.

Even though both of them have good three-point shooting ability, in the end they decisively chose to give the ball to Lin Fei after the screen.

The Rockets fans at home could see clearly that Lin Fei was treated like a proper boss of the team!

Lin Fei, who scored two three-pointers in a row, had a stern face, sharp eyes like a sword, and returned to the defense to give Eddie Jones a high-five.

This momentum obviously has the rhythm of throwing crazy and can't stop it!
"OMG, horrible Lin, he made the game his show time once again!"

"There are 5 minutes left in the first half, but Lin has made 9 of 8 shots and scored [-] three-pointers!"

"According to statistics, in the entire history of the NBA, the personal record for the number of three-pointers made in a half court is only 8 three-pointers in a half court jointly held by Kobe, Ray Allen and others!"

"And Lin has hit 8 three-pointers now, tying that record, and has a very good chance to break it!"

"When the Heat are actively covering the run to create catch-and-shoot opportunities for Lin, this team seems to be more united on both ends of the offense and defense!"

"Although Shaquille and Dwayne seem to have a higher status in the Heat than Lin, we have to admit that Lin is the only savior for the Heat tonight!"

Mike Breen and Chat Ford explained passionately, and the two famous ESPN commentators were also infected and shocked by Lin Fei's 8 three-pointers.

But Lin Fei's three-point performance on the court was just the beginning.

The Rockets attacked. This time, McGrady stabilized the rhythm and played a pick-and-roll with Dayao at a high position. However, the tacit understanding between the two still deviated, and the effect of this pick-and-roll was not achieved.

Eddie Jones caught up quickly around the screen, so McGrady took advantage of Dayao to bring O'Neal to a high position and tried to accelerate directly to break through the penalty area.

Lin Fei on the right quickly double-teamed up and intercepted McGrady's breakthrough route.

At this time, Bob Sura in the right corner was emptied again. This guy had already hit two open three-pointers from the corner in the second quarter and became a surprise soldier for the Rockets.

This time, McGrady did not hesitate and quickly distributed the ball to Bob Sura in the open corner.

But Bob Sura is a role player after all. This time, he failed to grasp the open shot and missed the basketball.

"Bang!"

O'Neal withstood Yao's space to grab the rebound, and directly allocated the ball to Wade who followed him.

Wade turned around after getting the ball and went on a fast break, but this time Jim Jackson made a quick move and directly knocked the ball out of Wade's hands.

However, the ball was caught by Lin Fei who rushed up quickly. Looking up, seeing that Wade and Eddie Jones had no good chances to catch the ball, Lin Fei didn't dare to risk a random pass, waiting for Wade to step forward to respond.

The Rockets retreated quickly, and the Heat could only stabilize the rhythm and play positional battles.

Standing on the sidelines, Heat coach Stan Van Gundy could see clearly that although Lin Fei was very active on the defensive end, he often sent out sharp steals.

However, his first pass after stealing the ball is not stable, and he often makes mistakes. At the same time, he does not have the ability to dribble directly and quickly, which often wastes the Heat's fast break opportunities.

But in Van Gundy's view, no one is perfect, and Lin Fei's excellent three-point shooting ability is enough to make up for his technical shortcomings.

If it is said that Lin Fei is not only a good three-point shooter, but also has a certain dribbling ability, and can also defend and break through, then how can he be willing to be the third leader of a team?
On the court, the Heat used patient screens and running positions to make the Rockets' defenses go wrong again.

This time, Lin Fei met Dayao, who had quickly switched defenses at the top of the arc, and took the familiar step back at the top of the arc to catch the ball.

Wade's well-prepared pass was very precise. Lin Fei caught the ball two meters away from the top of the arc and took off, staggering against the lightning from fellow Yao Yao.

The moment the basketball flew past the fingertips above his head, Dayao immediately felt regretful, but the big hands that rushed to him were too overwhelming.

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

The ball scored and the whistle sounded, 3+1.

Lin Fei not only made a decisive three-pointer after taking the step back, but also leaned back slightly, and the arc of the shot was also very high.

Lin Fei, a teammate of the Tianchao men's basketball team, already knows Dayao's switching speed and characteristics.

"Brother Yao, you also made three fouls! Be careful next time!"

After landing, Lin Fei smiled provocatively at Dayao, his confident eyes sparkling.

Dayao shook his head and smiled wryly, this scene seemed familiar.

In the Yadian Olympics, Dayao and Lin Fei's top-of-the-arc pick-and-roll is the big killer of the Tianchao men's basketball team. I don't know how many times Dayao personally delivered shells for Lin Fei and watched him shoot the opposing center in the face.

But tonight, he became the switching center who was shot in the face, and was beaten 3+1.

If Lin Fei can come to the Rockets, then the overall strength of the current Rockets team will definitely be improved to a higher level, a proper championship level.

But now, even though Tracy McGrady is here, the Rockets' overall lineup still has big flaws. Dayao only hopes that the team's management can make a difference, and the lineup's running-in can be more effective.

At least for tonight's game, the Rockets currently have the upper hand.

But this advantage is more based on McGrady's singles, which in itself is very detrimental to the team's unity and chemical reaction.

After McGrady was traded, he took over the position of Francis. He is currently the real boss of the Rockets. Dayao is ranked second, so he can only keep his thoughts in mind.

"Shh!"

Lin Fei, who walked to the free throw line, was calm and calm, and also made an extra penalty, scoring 4 points successfully.

Heat (38): (42) Rockets.

随着林飞连续命中3个三分球，加上一次罚球连得10分，热火队也在2分钟内轰出一波10：0，分差从14分被迅速追到了只有4分。

The Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy standing on the sidelines was frightened by Lin Fei's three three-pointers. He didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly called another long timeout.

Lin Fei who came off the field was also surrounded by the Heat players laughing in the center. Wade and O'Neal quickly recovered from their slump.

When the state is good, he personally goes to battle and kills the Quartet. When the state is not good, there is Lin as a thigh to hug. Wade and O'Neal are now more and more fond of Lin Fei, the third child in the team.

But Lin Fei tonight is obviously not the third leader of the team, he is using his actions to transform into a qualified leader.

The Rockets fans in the Toyota Center Arena also became restless at this time, and the only topic of discussion was Lin Fei's nine three-pointers.

"There are still 4 minutes left in the half, and this guy has already hit 9 three-pointers? Nima, the technical table didn't make a mistake, right?"

"Lin seemed to come in after 3 minutes in the first quarter, and now he played 8 minutes in the second quarter, a total of 17 minutes, Lin made 17 of 10 three-pointers in 9 minutes, God, how did he do it so accurately? "

"I feel that the Heat's offensive tactics have completely revolved around Lin's off-the-ball running position. I have watched the NBA for so many years, and I have never seen such a strange and resolute system tactics!"

"Because from the history of the NBA to the present, there has never been a three-point shooter as accurate as Lin!"

"At first I thought that Tracy was strong enough tonight, but I didn't expect that it was just a foreshadowing for Lin!"

"Nine three-pointers in the half, which has created a new NBA record!"

"Tracey has no chance to make three-pointers with Lynby. He made less than nine in a half, and his career record of three-pointers is only eight!"

The fans watching the live broadcast of the game from all over China were even more excited at this time, looking forward to Lin Fei breaking Kobe's record of 12 three-pointers in a single game tonight.

But after the timeout, the Rockets' defense made quite risky adjustments.

Although Jeff Van Gundy is incompatible with his brother, and there is a big gap in coaching philosophy, he understands the tactical style of Big Van Gundy better.

Since the Heat are desperately trying to give Lin Fei unlimited firepower tonight, the Rockets will appropriately relax their defense against Wade and O'Neal, and put more defensive energy on Lin Fei on the outside.

Even if they lose the game, Stan Van Gundy's tactical experiment must not be allowed to win a big victory, and Lin Fei's three-pointer cannot be allowed to nail the Rockets to the pillar of shame in history.
