NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble
Chapter 106 [106] In the final decisive battle, Lin Fei unsheathed his sword and broke the record!
Chapter 106 [106] In the final decisive battle, Lin Fei unsheathed his sword and broke the record!
"Less than 1 minute into the last quarter, Lin hit two three-pointers in a row, quickly reducing the 21-point difference to 15 points!"
"Jeff Van Gundy was still too careless. The point difference was chased to 15 points at once. If the Heat want to reverse it with all their strength, the difficulty will become much smaller!"
Chat Ford beside him also said excitedly: "This is destined to be a night that belongs to Lin. With 12 three-pointers and 1 free throw, Lin has scored 37 points so far. There will be an extra timeout after the timeout." Penalty! You must know that Lin has not missed a free throw in the new season!"
"There are still 9 minutes until the end of the last quarter, let us look forward to the continuation of the miracle!"
The Rockets fans at home were agitated, and their emotions were quite complicated.
On the one hand, I hope to see Lin Fei break Kobe's single-game three-pointer record with my own eyes, but on the other hand, I don't want to see Lin Fei lead the Heat to complete the comeback. That would be a shame for the Rockets.
"Lin's three-pointer is terrible. We shouldn't be reversed, right?"
"Of course the defense of the substitutes can't be as good as the main force. After the suspension of Yao Mai and Uncle Huo's return, it will not be that simple for Lin to hit a three-pointer!"
"It's enough to break the three-point record. If you want to complete a 20+ reversal in the final quarter, that is absolutely impossible!"
Logically speaking, after Lin Fei hit a three-pointer, he fell to the ground and shook his finger at Uncle Mu. This is an act of disrespect for the opponent, and most of them will be blown T by the referee in the NBA.
But Lin Fei's 12th three-pointer tonight was too shocking, and the person Lin Fei shook his finger after being thrown down by a foul was Uncle Mu, who is famous for shaking his finger.
This action may be disrespectful in front of other players, but in front of Uncle Mu, it may be more of a tribute.
Therefore, the referee also selectively let Lin Fei go, which has become a classic scene in the NBA in the future.
O'Neill was the first to rush forward with a smile and pull Lin Fei up, raised his eyebrows and said to Uncle Mu: "Old guy, remember this three-pointer, you will become the eternal background!"
Mutombo, who walked off the field, did not forget to sarcastically say to O'Neal: "Shaquille, I really envy you to have a super guard by your side. It was Kobe back then, and now it's Lin and Dwayne!"
O'Neal and Mutombo played against each other in the 2001 Finals. In the end, the Philadelphia 76ers lost 1:4 to the Lakers.
The 76ers were able to reach the finals all the way. In addition to Allen Iverson's peak performance, Mutombo's guarding the penalty area was also crucial.
The 00-01 season was also Uncle Mu's final peak. He won his fourth DPOY and second rebounding title this season.
Joining the Rockets under a mid-level contract this season, Uncle Mu naturally hopes that Yao Mai can lead the Rockets to the finals and realize his dream of a championship.
But the situation is very grim, and the Rockets currently have many problems.
Seeing Lin Fei hit the twelfth three-pointer to tie Kobe's record, the hundreds of millions of fans on Tianchao's side were naturally even more excited. In the Internet cafe next to a school in the imperial capital, there were also cheers:
"Fuck, Brother Fei is awesome, he's the 12th, and this is still a 3+1!"
"Twelve three-pointers in a single game are tied with Kobe's record, and one more hit will lead to overtaking!"
"There are still 9 minutes in the game, and it is a sure thing to surpass Kobe. I feel that I have to start with 15!"
"15 three-pointers in a single game? What level is this? It's crazy!"
"There are only two types of three-pointers in the league, one is Fei Ge's three-pointers, and the other is others!"
"You all say that Yao is great, but after watching the game between the Heat and the Rockets tonight, I feel that Yao is still not good enough in the NBA. Lin Fei is the best. O'Neal and Wade are giving He plays support!"
"Warcraft World of Nima is better than Brother Fei's game!"
"If Lin Fei breaks Kobe's record of 12 three-pointers tonight, I will at least have to add three stewed eggs to my instant noodles at noon!"
In the live broadcast room of Tian Chao No. [-], Director Zhang also excitedly analyzed the situation:
"From the fact that Lin Fei hit the 12th three-pointer just now, it can be seen that the Heat are determined to give Lin Fei the ball tonight. Wade and O'Neal completely gave up the ball, even if there are better Opportunity to score but chose to screen and assist Lin Fei!"
"In that case, Lin Fei will have at least 9-3 three-point shots in the next 5 minutes, or even more!"
"However, considering that after the return of the Rockets' main force, they will inevitably choke Wade's pass and Lin Fei's outside catch, so the difficulty of Lin Fei's catch and shot will inevitably increase again!"
The host Yu Jia analyzed from another angle: "Wade has 15 points and 10 assists so far. Although he didn't score many points tonight, the assists are really good!"
"After three games in the new season, because of the presence of Lin Fei and O'Neal, Wade's overall assists have increased significantly, with an average of ten per game!"
"If it continues like this, Wade is very hopeful to compete for the league's assist leader this season!"
"That's right, Pat Riley and Stan Van Gundy have trained this brand new Heat team very unitedly. The Big Three perform their own duties. O'Neal has no pretensions, and Wade and Lin Fei are also humbly growing up!"
"The Miami Heat this season is worth looking forward to by the fans, and there is definitely hope for the championship!"
The eyes returned to the Toyota Arena in Houston, and the game continued after a timeout.
The Rockets re-appointed the main lineup. Jeff Van Gundy guessed his brother's intentions and solemnly told the players:
"Give me no matter what to guard against Lin, and never let this guy hit a three-pointer again!"
"Our Rockets' home court in Houston can't just break the record for visiting team players!"
Coming up, Lin Fei took the lead to go to the free throw line to execute Uncle Mu's foul penalty and made a steady hit.
"Shh!"
After hitting this free throw, Lin Fei has already scored 38 points, setting a new record for his career scoring in a single game.
Coming up to the Rockets to attack, McGrady held the ball aggressively in the frontcourt. Stimulated by Lin Fei's 12 three-pointers, his desire to attack was quite strong.
Although he has only hit 5 three-pointers so far, and he is undoubtedly defeated in the three-pointer contest with Lin Fei, but he is only 3 points behind Lin Fei in terms of points.
McGrady thought that the three-pointer could not be compared, but he scored higher than Lin Fei, and then led the Rockets to win the game, which could save some face.
However, McGrady also knew very well that Lin Fei, the undrafted second-year pick, was too terrifying. Just one catch and three-pointer was enough to change the trend of the entire game and become the only focus on the court.
He played four quarters, but Lin Fei conceded one in the third quarter. In terms of the number of shots, Lin Fei only took 14 shots, while he scored 35 points but took 24 shots.
Summoning a high pick-and-roll from Bob Sura, McGrady faced Lin Fei in a misplaced position, obviously consuming Lin Fei's energy on defense and suppressing his arrogance at the same time.
"Lin, I can't compare to you in three-pointers, but the victory must belong to the Houston Rockets!"
Seeing that O'Neal led Dayao out of the penalty area, McGrady made a cross step with lowered center of gravity and changed direction, instantly passing Lin Fei by half a body.
McGrady is tall and has a long arm, and the first step is quick to start, with comprehensive skills. It can be said that he is a top ten breakthrough player in the league at this time. Lin Fei's defensive attributes of 85 points are really poor.
Although the first step was passed, Lin Fei reacted quickly and followed closely, his long arms hindered McGrady's breakthrough and interfered.
Eddie Jones decisively rushed up to double-team at the critical moment, but McGrady took advantage of the trend and made a lateral jump, protecting the ball against Eddie Jones and making a strong shot.
Both Lin Fei and Eddie Jones defended the ball very well, which made McGrady's shot very difficult.
"Bang!"
"Beep!"
Although the basketball missed, the referee blew his whistle and called Eddie Jones for a shooting foul on Tracy McGrady.
Eddie Jones thought he hadn't fouled, and spread his hands helplessly to the referee, but he didn't dare to complain too much at his home court.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
McGrady, who walked to the free throw line, made two free throws, and his personal score came to 37 points.
The Rockets also regained the lead to 16 points, and the winning form is still very good.
The possession of the ball is switched, and the Heat attack.
The main defense of the Rockets has obviously become stronger, with high tactical execution. Bob Sura has always been chasing Lin Fei, and Jim Jackson mainly pinches Wade's pass, but instead appropriately releases his shots and breakthroughs.
Even McGrady let go of Eddie Jones who was squatting in the bottom corner for several meters, ready to double-team Lin Fei's running position and Wade's breakthrough at any time.
O'Neal came up to cover Lin Fei without the ball, and was misplaced to meet Yao's gap, but Wade failed to pass the ball. Jim Jackson's post defense was very fierce.
Wade didn't hesitate any longer. He accelerated and threw Jim Jackson away. He entered the penalty area and faced the double-teaming of Uncle Huo and McGrady. He decisively passed the ball to Eddie Jones on the left at a 0-degree angle.
Eddie Jones seized the opportunity with a wide open space and made a steady three-pointer.
"Shh!"
As the saying goes, the two brothers are facing each other tactically and psychologically. During the timeout just now, Stan Van Gundy had already anticipated the Rockets' defensive strategy, so he decided to temporarily let Lin Fei act as a restraint, catching the Rockets by surprise.
The Heat's first offensive system and second offensive system must be combined to play each other's maximum power, and at the same time make it impossible for the defense to fully target.
Seeing the hope of reversing the game, the main players of the Heat also swept away the downturn in the first three quarters, and became proactive and high-spirited under the leadership of Lin Fei.
Back on the defensive end, Yao was holding the ball with his back in the low post, and O'Neal was very focused on top defense, and roughly rushed up decisively to double-team, cutting the ball directly from Dayao's hands.
"Snapped!"
Dayao hastily counterattacked, and his palm hit roughly on the arm. The referee whistled and whistled for Dayao's foul.
In the face of targeted double-teaming inside, Dayao's ability to split the ball outside is not very good, and his reaction and speed disadvantages make him prone to mistakes.
Although there was no free throw, this foul was Dayao's fifth foul tonight. Jeff Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned, worried that Dayao would be fouled and expelled early.
But at this juncture of the game, he must not be able to play Dayao anymore, so he can only yell and tell him to control the foul.
Because of his physical fitness and high center of gravity and slow lateral movement, Dayao often has difficulty controlling the number of fouls in high-intensity NBA games. Last season, he made six fouls and left the field several times in the final quarter.
Stan Van Gundy smiled and applauded. He made a great contribution at the critical moment and affirmed his positive efforts on the defensive end.
Sure enough, players from their own country know each other better.
The possession of the ball was changed, Wade continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and O'Neal and Lin Fei played a screen on the right side.
"Whoosh!"
After this screen run, because he wanted to pinch Lin Fei's catch and shot, Dayao immediately switched defenses, and Bob Sura quickly caught up.
This emptied O'Neal, the Sharks turned over decisively and went down, received Wade's high-profile ball, ignored Uncle Huo who came up from the low post, and directly sent a violent Shark dunk.
"Boom!"
Facing O'Neill's frontal dunk, Uncle Huo is also a person who knows how to measure. After all, he saw O'Neill's brutality in the 90s.
"The Rockets are obviously more afraid of Lin's three-pointers on the defensive end, but their defense is a bit neglected. Dwayne and Shaquille have both stood up, and Eddie Jones is also trustworthy!"
"With this wave of 5:0, the point difference has been chased to 11 points. It must be admitted that the overall strength of the Heat is no worse than that of the Rockets. As long as they are serious, it will not be easy for the Rockets to keep their advantage!"
McGrady was a little impatient here, turned around and tried a three-pointer from the outside line, but the basketball shot was missed.
"Bang!"
The long rebound was taken first by the active Wade, and the Heat quickly countered the fast break.
The Rockets' retreat was also timely. After Lin Fei crossed the center line, he borrowed an approximate screen, quickly ran back to get rid of Bob Sura, and directly caught Wade's return pass in the middle. A super long three-point shot.
The Heat's choice of fast break this time was so abrupt that the Rockets had no way to guard against it. They could only watch as Lin Fei made an elegant shot 10 meters away from the basket.
"Bang!"
The difficulty of Lin Fei's ultra-long three-pointer is too high. Not only is he far away from the basket, but he also pursues speed too much when he takes off. The basketball bounced high on the left side of the basket.
McGrady and Eddie Jones scrambled for the rebound at the same time, and the basketball was dialed to the free throw line for the first time. Wade took advantage of the situation and rushed up to control the ball first.
At this time, Lin Fei had already run back outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, still more than two meters away from the three-point line. After getting the ball, he jumped up decisively and shot again without hesitation.
Wade passed the ball boldly, and Lin Fei also shot decisively, but he didn't completely get rid of Bob Sura.
Bob Sura, who was one meter away, didn't expect that Lin Fei would run back and quickly catch the ball and shoot it far away without using cover. In addition, he chased too quickly, so he subconsciously rushed up and stretched out his hand, and hit the ball directly. On Lin Fei's arm.
"Bang!"
"Beep!"
The three-point shot was still missed, but the referee's whistle sounded, calling Bob Sura's foul on Lin Fei's three-point shot.
Although he made a three-point foul, Lin Fei was quite dissatisfied with the fact that he failed to make two consecutive ultra-long shots.
Of course, because of Bob Sura's foul, this shot was not included in Lin Fei's shots, and theoretically there was no such thing as missing two shots in a row.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Lin Fei, who walked to the free throw line, was always steady, with a free throw attribute of 99, which was proud of the league, and he made all three free throws.
From the Finals to the Olympics, and then to the first three games of the new season, Lin Fei has not missed a single free throw.
Heat (86): (94) Rockets.
从林飞末节出战的3分多钟时间里,热火队打出了一波疯狂的15:2,把21分的分差迅速追到了只差8分。
Among them, Lin Fei made 3 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 10 points. O'Neal and Eddie Jones contributed 5 points, Wade 3 assists, and roughly 1 steal.
The Rockets fans in the Toyota Arena immediately became nervous. The Heat are going to reverse the rhythm!
Jeff Van Gundy also quickly called another long timeout,
Seeing the recovery of Wade and O'Neal at the end of the quarter, Eddie Jones and Gu Da were very active on both ends of the offense and defense. Jeff Van Gundy did not dare to put the defense on Lin Fei alone.
If this continues, the Rockets may really be reversed.
At the same time, Jeff Van Gundy also criticized Tracy McGrady's excessive shooting, reminding the team that they should stabilize the rhythm now.
McGrady was not convinced by Van Gundy Jr.'s criticism, but instead questioned his defensive strategy and played the big name of the star.
Some contradictions appeared among the generals of the Rockets, which obviously affected the unity of the team.
In front of the on-site commentary stand, although this is the home court of the Rockets, the two commentators couldn't stop praising and commending Lin Fei.
"Lin played so well tonight, he has now scored 41 points!"
"A guy who can only shoot three-pointers, but helped the Timberwolves win the championship, and became the only focus of tonight's game!"
"The next step is to see how the Rockets adjust. Their offensive and defensive options have big problems in the final quarter!"
"Dwayne has contributed 15 points and 12 assists, and 12 assists also set a record for his personal assists in a single game!"
"With Lin in the backcourt, this season's Dwayne, it seems that he really has the opportunity to compete with Nash, Kidd and others for the assists title of the season!"
Back from the timeout, there are still 6 minutes and 42 seconds left in the final quarter of the game.
Dayao held the ball in the low post and faced O'Neal. This time he was roughly double-teamed decisively again, but Dayao was mentally prepared and quickly passed the ball to Uncle Huo who was in the high post. The latter made a jump shot to stabilize the situation.
"Shh!"
back.
The Rockets suddenly resorted to double-teaming tactics against Wade. The oppressive double-teaming of Jim Jackson and Tracy McGrady made it very risky for Wade to distribute the ball to Lin Fei.
"Snapped!"
McGrady's long arm and big hand directly touched the basketball, and Bob Sura came up to resist Lin Fei and quickly got the ball.
Wade made a mistake and the Rockets launched a counterattack.
The Heat's retreat was very timely. Wade and Lin Fei rushed to the front. McGrady, who was holding the ball, attracted two double-teams, and quickly distributed the ball to Jim Jackson who was rushing up from this side.
The latter took the ball into the penalty area, flew up and sent a dunk.
"Boom!"
The Rockets came back from a timeout and scored 4 points in a row, re-stabilized the situation, and brought the lead to 12 points.
Jim Jackson also took the initiative to high-five McGrady when he returned to the defense. Although the two had conflicts, winning has now become a common goal.
If the Heat complete a 21-point comeback in the final quarter, then everyone and the team will be nailed to the pillar of shame together.
The Rockets fans at home are boiling again, how could the team be reversed by the Heat so easily?
Even though McGrady had a dispute with the head coach, he still showed his full strength on the court. The defensive end double-teamed Wade to destroy the pass, and the offensive end assisted Jackson for a dunk.
At the critical moment, McGrady showed his responsibility as a team leader, and the Rockets also became more united at this moment.
After all, Wade is not a purebred point guard, but also a second-year rookie. His ability and experience in facing double teams still needs to be improved.
Perhaps tasted the sweetness, the Rockets in a subsequent defense, McGrady rushed up again and Jim Jackson double-teamed Wade holding the ball.
But Wade was mentally prepared and quickly gave the ball to Eddie Jones who was open to meet him.
Seeing that Lin Fei didn't have a suitable opportunity to catch the ball on the outside, Eddie Jones didn't hesitate, directly forced the basket, and Huo Ershu, who came up from the supplementary defense, changed hands and scored a layup.
"Shh!"
"Beep!"
The ball scored and the whistle sounded, 2+1.
"Shh!"
Eddie Jones, who went to the free throw line, also added free throws, and he has scored 17 points tonight.
The point difference returned to single digits again.
Looking back, Dayao seized the opportunity after the top of the arc and Tracy McGrady's pick-and-roll, caught the ball and shot a 19-foot high jumper decisively.
"Shh!"
Also in.
The Heat attacked, and Lin Fei borrowed O'Neal and roughly two consecutive screens at the top of the arc, reached a 0-degree angle on the right, and then threw off Uncle Huo who was changing defenses.
But Wade, who broke through the middle, was not sure about passing the ball. When Jim Jackson on the right side of his body raised his hands to intercept the pass, Wade did not hesitate, went directly to the penalty area and picked the basket.
"Shh!"
Back on the defensive end, Lin Fei stepped up decisively to intercept the breakthrough McGrady, forming a double-team with Eddie Jones.
McGrady did not take the risk of attacking, but quickly distributed the ball to Bob Sura, who was squatting in the left corner.
Substitute Raider Bob Sura has already hit 4 three-pointers in this position tonight, but his physical strength still has problems at the critical moment. The defensive end chasing and defending Lin Fei consumes too much, which directly affects his own strength. feel.
"Bang!"
This time the shot was short and the basketball hit the front of the basket. After popping out, the defensive rebound roughly turned over and grabbed it.
The Heat counterattacked, and this time Wade gave the ball to Eddie Jones ahead of time during the counterattack, and he threw off the defense and went straight to the frontcourt.
Wade without the ball is too fast, Jim Jackson can't keep up at all, this is obviously an excellent opportunity.
"Whoosh!"
Under the huge motivational trend of reversing the game, Eddie Jones did not pay attention to Lin Fei's running position, but got rid of McGrady's pressing, and passed the ball accurately and long to Wade who was entering the penalty area.
After receiving the ball, Wade jumped up in one step, flew over half of the paint area, and sent a explosive tomahawk dunk.
"Boom!"
This fast-break dunk was so shocking that the players on the Heat's bench jumped up instantly, waving towels excitedly.
The Rockets fans at home began to feel uneasy again, and the point difference has been chased to only 7 points.
On the timer, there are still 4 minutes and 09 seconds before the end of the final quarter.
Heat (93): (100) Rockets.
Jeff Van Gundy frowned, feeling that the momentum was not good again, but he still chose to trust the players' ability to adjust. After all, he only had one long timeout and one 20-second short timeout left in his hand.
The Heat are frantically chasing points, and the game has become more intense and entertaining. Tonight, the scoring efficiency of the two teams is very high. With 4 minutes left in the final quarter, the total score of the two teams is close to 200.
But the Rockets fans at home still felt that something was missing, probably because Lin Fei hadn't received the ball or shot for more than 2 minutes.
"Why did the Heat suddenly change their style of play? Didn't they pass the ball to Lin? Damn, it's only a three-pointer to break the record. I'm getting anxious!"
"Stan Van Gundy is still very calm. He saw through the Rockets' defense and played team basketball. Didn't the point difference be quickly narrowed to 7 points?"
"With the hope of reversal, Lin's three-point record is not so important. Winning the game is the most important thing!"
"It's not that easy for the Heat to come back. So what if they catch up to 7 points? There are only 4 minutes left in this game. I believe Tracy and Yao can hold on!"
On the court, McGrady finally stood up again at the critical moment, borrowing Dayao's breakthrough after the pick-and-roll to make an emergency stop, and scored two more points with a mid-range jumper.
"Shh!"
McGrady has scored 39 points tonight.
The Toyota Center Arena sounded warm MVP shouts.
Although it is the scoring leader in the past two seasons, the Magic has a poor record, so McGrady has never entered the regular season MVP discussion.
But joining the Rockets this season, as a team with enough strength to reach the playoffs and even the top four in the Western Conference, McGrady has the opportunity to hit the MVP of the regular season.
In the official MVP rankings before the start of the new season, McGrady also ranked 6th, and was favored by many media experts.
If the Rockets finally win tonight, McGrady will undoubtedly be the MVP of the game. Although Lin Fei's statistics are even more explosive and shocking, losing is the original sin after all.
The Heat attack.
With Lin Fei not catching the ball for 3 consecutive minutes, the Rockets' defense will inevitably be a little negligent. After all, the offense of others must not be let go, otherwise the Heat may really reverse it.
It was also at this time that the Heat switched to the second offensive system again. Through continuous cover runs, Lin Fei found an excellent opportunity near 30 degrees to the right.
"Whoosh!"
Wade broke through and scored the ball very sharply. Yao, who came up on the switch, was also obviously slow for half a beat. After receiving the ball, Lin Fei took off decisively, drew his sword out of its sheath, and saw blood seal his throat.
The basketball flew over the fingertips of Dayao's defense, like a sharp Yitian sword, piercing the heart of the Rockets.
"Shh!"
13th.
(End of this chapter)
"Less than 1 minute into the last quarter, Lin hit two three-pointers in a row, quickly reducing the 21-point difference to 15 points!"
"Jeff Van Gundy was still too careless. The point difference was chased to 15 points at once. If the Heat want to reverse it with all their strength, the difficulty will become much smaller!"
Chat Ford beside him also said excitedly: "This is destined to be a night that belongs to Lin. With 12 three-pointers and 1 free throw, Lin has scored 37 points so far. There will be an extra timeout after the timeout." Penalty! You must know that Lin has not missed a free throw in the new season!"
"There are still 9 minutes until the end of the last quarter, let us look forward to the continuation of the miracle!"
The Rockets fans at home were agitated, and their emotions were quite complicated.
On the one hand, I hope to see Lin Fei break Kobe's single-game three-pointer record with my own eyes, but on the other hand, I don't want to see Lin Fei lead the Heat to complete the comeback. That would be a shame for the Rockets.
"Lin's three-pointer is terrible. We shouldn't be reversed, right?"
"Of course the defense of the substitutes can't be as good as the main force. After the suspension of Yao Mai and Uncle Huo's return, it will not be that simple for Lin to hit a three-pointer!"
"It's enough to break the three-point record. If you want to complete a 20+ reversal in the final quarter, that is absolutely impossible!"
Logically speaking, after Lin Fei hit a three-pointer, he fell to the ground and shook his finger at Uncle Mu. This is an act of disrespect for the opponent, and most of them will be blown T by the referee in the NBA.
But Lin Fei's 12th three-pointer tonight was too shocking, and the person Lin Fei shook his finger after being thrown down by a foul was Uncle Mu, who is famous for shaking his finger.
This action may be disrespectful in front of other players, but in front of Uncle Mu, it may be more of a tribute.
Therefore, the referee also selectively let Lin Fei go, which has become a classic scene in the NBA in the future.
O'Neill was the first to rush forward with a smile and pull Lin Fei up, raised his eyebrows and said to Uncle Mu: "Old guy, remember this three-pointer, you will become the eternal background!"
Mutombo, who walked off the field, did not forget to sarcastically say to O'Neal: "Shaquille, I really envy you to have a super guard by your side. It was Kobe back then, and now it's Lin and Dwayne!"
O'Neal and Mutombo played against each other in the 2001 Finals. In the end, the Philadelphia 76ers lost 1:4 to the Lakers.
The 76ers were able to reach the finals all the way. In addition to Allen Iverson's peak performance, Mutombo's guarding the penalty area was also crucial.
The 00-01 season was also Uncle Mu's final peak. He won his fourth DPOY and second rebounding title this season.
Joining the Rockets under a mid-level contract this season, Uncle Mu naturally hopes that Yao Mai can lead the Rockets to the finals and realize his dream of a championship.
But the situation is very grim, and the Rockets currently have many problems.
Seeing Lin Fei hit the twelfth three-pointer to tie Kobe's record, the hundreds of millions of fans on Tianchao's side were naturally even more excited. In the Internet cafe next to a school in the imperial capital, there were also cheers:
"Fuck, Brother Fei is awesome, he's the 12th, and this is still a 3+1!"
"Twelve three-pointers in a single game are tied with Kobe's record, and one more hit will lead to overtaking!"
"There are still 9 minutes in the game, and it is a sure thing to surpass Kobe. I feel that I have to start with 15!"
"15 three-pointers in a single game? What level is this? It's crazy!"
"There are only two types of three-pointers in the league, one is Fei Ge's three-pointers, and the other is others!"
"You all say that Yao is great, but after watching the game between the Heat and the Rockets tonight, I feel that Yao is still not good enough in the NBA. Lin Fei is the best. O'Neal and Wade are giving He plays support!"
"Warcraft World of Nima is better than Brother Fei's game!"
"If Lin Fei breaks Kobe's record of 12 three-pointers tonight, I will at least have to add three stewed eggs to my instant noodles at noon!"
In the live broadcast room of Tian Chao No. [-], Director Zhang also excitedly analyzed the situation:
"From the fact that Lin Fei hit the 12th three-pointer just now, it can be seen that the Heat are determined to give Lin Fei the ball tonight. Wade and O'Neal completely gave up the ball, even if there are better Opportunity to score but chose to screen and assist Lin Fei!"
"In that case, Lin Fei will have at least 9-3 three-point shots in the next 5 minutes, or even more!"
"However, considering that after the return of the Rockets' main force, they will inevitably choke Wade's pass and Lin Fei's outside catch, so the difficulty of Lin Fei's catch and shot will inevitably increase again!"
The host Yu Jia analyzed from another angle: "Wade has 15 points and 10 assists so far. Although he didn't score many points tonight, the assists are really good!"
"After three games in the new season, because of the presence of Lin Fei and O'Neal, Wade's overall assists have increased significantly, with an average of ten per game!"
"If it continues like this, Wade is very hopeful to compete for the league's assist leader this season!"
"That's right, Pat Riley and Stan Van Gundy have trained this brand new Heat team very unitedly. The Big Three perform their own duties. O'Neal has no pretensions, and Wade and Lin Fei are also humbly growing up!"
"The Miami Heat this season is worth looking forward to by the fans, and there is definitely hope for the championship!"
The eyes returned to the Toyota Arena in Houston, and the game continued after a timeout.
The Rockets re-appointed the main lineup. Jeff Van Gundy guessed his brother's intentions and solemnly told the players:
"Give me no matter what to guard against Lin, and never let this guy hit a three-pointer again!"
"Our Rockets' home court in Houston can't just break the record for visiting team players!"
Coming up, Lin Fei took the lead to go to the free throw line to execute Uncle Mu's foul penalty and made a steady hit.
"Shh!"
After hitting this free throw, Lin Fei has already scored 38 points, setting a new record for his career scoring in a single game.
Coming up to the Rockets to attack, McGrady held the ball aggressively in the frontcourt. Stimulated by Lin Fei's 12 three-pointers, his desire to attack was quite strong.
Although he has only hit 5 three-pointers so far, and he is undoubtedly defeated in the three-pointer contest with Lin Fei, but he is only 3 points behind Lin Fei in terms of points.
McGrady thought that the three-pointer could not be compared, but he scored higher than Lin Fei, and then led the Rockets to win the game, which could save some face.
However, McGrady also knew very well that Lin Fei, the undrafted second-year pick, was too terrifying. Just one catch and three-pointer was enough to change the trend of the entire game and become the only focus on the court.
He played four quarters, but Lin Fei conceded one in the third quarter. In terms of the number of shots, Lin Fei only took 14 shots, while he scored 35 points but took 24 shots.
Summoning a high pick-and-roll from Bob Sura, McGrady faced Lin Fei in a misplaced position, obviously consuming Lin Fei's energy on defense and suppressing his arrogance at the same time.
"Lin, I can't compare to you in three-pointers, but the victory must belong to the Houston Rockets!"
Seeing that O'Neal led Dayao out of the penalty area, McGrady made a cross step with lowered center of gravity and changed direction, instantly passing Lin Fei by half a body.
McGrady is tall and has a long arm, and the first step is quick to start, with comprehensive skills. It can be said that he is a top ten breakthrough player in the league at this time. Lin Fei's defensive attributes of 85 points are really poor.
Although the first step was passed, Lin Fei reacted quickly and followed closely, his long arms hindered McGrady's breakthrough and interfered.
Eddie Jones decisively rushed up to double-team at the critical moment, but McGrady took advantage of the trend and made a lateral jump, protecting the ball against Eddie Jones and making a strong shot.
Both Lin Fei and Eddie Jones defended the ball very well, which made McGrady's shot very difficult.
"Bang!"
"Beep!"
Although the basketball missed, the referee blew his whistle and called Eddie Jones for a shooting foul on Tracy McGrady.
Eddie Jones thought he hadn't fouled, and spread his hands helplessly to the referee, but he didn't dare to complain too much at his home court.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
McGrady, who walked to the free throw line, made two free throws, and his personal score came to 37 points.
The Rockets also regained the lead to 16 points, and the winning form is still very good.
The possession of the ball is switched, and the Heat attack.
The main defense of the Rockets has obviously become stronger, with high tactical execution. Bob Sura has always been chasing Lin Fei, and Jim Jackson mainly pinches Wade's pass, but instead appropriately releases his shots and breakthroughs.
Even McGrady let go of Eddie Jones who was squatting in the bottom corner for several meters, ready to double-team Lin Fei's running position and Wade's breakthrough at any time.
O'Neal came up to cover Lin Fei without the ball, and was misplaced to meet Yao's gap, but Wade failed to pass the ball. Jim Jackson's post defense was very fierce.
Wade didn't hesitate any longer. He accelerated and threw Jim Jackson away. He entered the penalty area and faced the double-teaming of Uncle Huo and McGrady. He decisively passed the ball to Eddie Jones on the left at a 0-degree angle.
Eddie Jones seized the opportunity with a wide open space and made a steady three-pointer.
"Shh!"
As the saying goes, the two brothers are facing each other tactically and psychologically. During the timeout just now, Stan Van Gundy had already anticipated the Rockets' defensive strategy, so he decided to temporarily let Lin Fei act as a restraint, catching the Rockets by surprise.
The Heat's first offensive system and second offensive system must be combined to play each other's maximum power, and at the same time make it impossible for the defense to fully target.
Seeing the hope of reversing the game, the main players of the Heat also swept away the downturn in the first three quarters, and became proactive and high-spirited under the leadership of Lin Fei.
Back on the defensive end, Yao was holding the ball with his back in the low post, and O'Neal was very focused on top defense, and roughly rushed up decisively to double-team, cutting the ball directly from Dayao's hands.
"Snapped!"
Dayao hastily counterattacked, and his palm hit roughly on the arm. The referee whistled and whistled for Dayao's foul.
In the face of targeted double-teaming inside, Dayao's ability to split the ball outside is not very good, and his reaction and speed disadvantages make him prone to mistakes.
Although there was no free throw, this foul was Dayao's fifth foul tonight. Jeff Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned, worried that Dayao would be fouled and expelled early.
But at this juncture of the game, he must not be able to play Dayao anymore, so he can only yell and tell him to control the foul.
Because of his physical fitness and high center of gravity and slow lateral movement, Dayao often has difficulty controlling the number of fouls in high-intensity NBA games. Last season, he made six fouls and left the field several times in the final quarter.
Stan Van Gundy smiled and applauded. He made a great contribution at the critical moment and affirmed his positive efforts on the defensive end.
Sure enough, players from their own country know each other better.
The possession of the ball was changed, Wade continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and O'Neal and Lin Fei played a screen on the right side.
"Whoosh!"
After this screen run, because he wanted to pinch Lin Fei's catch and shot, Dayao immediately switched defenses, and Bob Sura quickly caught up.
This emptied O'Neal, the Sharks turned over decisively and went down, received Wade's high-profile ball, ignored Uncle Huo who came up from the low post, and directly sent a violent Shark dunk.
"Boom!"
Facing O'Neill's frontal dunk, Uncle Huo is also a person who knows how to measure. After all, he saw O'Neill's brutality in the 90s.
"The Rockets are obviously more afraid of Lin's three-pointers on the defensive end, but their defense is a bit neglected. Dwayne and Shaquille have both stood up, and Eddie Jones is also trustworthy!"
"With this wave of 5:0, the point difference has been chased to 11 points. It must be admitted that the overall strength of the Heat is no worse than that of the Rockets. As long as they are serious, it will not be easy for the Rockets to keep their advantage!"
McGrady was a little impatient here, turned around and tried a three-pointer from the outside line, but the basketball shot was missed.
"Bang!"
The long rebound was taken first by the active Wade, and the Heat quickly countered the fast break.
The Rockets' retreat was also timely. After Lin Fei crossed the center line, he borrowed an approximate screen, quickly ran back to get rid of Bob Sura, and directly caught Wade's return pass in the middle. A super long three-point shot.
The Heat's choice of fast break this time was so abrupt that the Rockets had no way to guard against it. They could only watch as Lin Fei made an elegant shot 10 meters away from the basket.
"Bang!"
The difficulty of Lin Fei's ultra-long three-pointer is too high. Not only is he far away from the basket, but he also pursues speed too much when he takes off. The basketball bounced high on the left side of the basket.
McGrady and Eddie Jones scrambled for the rebound at the same time, and the basketball was dialed to the free throw line for the first time. Wade took advantage of the situation and rushed up to control the ball first.
At this time, Lin Fei had already run back outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, still more than two meters away from the three-point line. After getting the ball, he jumped up decisively and shot again without hesitation.
Wade passed the ball boldly, and Lin Fei also shot decisively, but he didn't completely get rid of Bob Sura.
Bob Sura, who was one meter away, didn't expect that Lin Fei would run back and quickly catch the ball and shoot it far away without using cover. In addition, he chased too quickly, so he subconsciously rushed up and stretched out his hand, and hit the ball directly. On Lin Fei's arm.
"Bang!"
"Beep!"
The three-point shot was still missed, but the referee's whistle sounded, calling Bob Sura's foul on Lin Fei's three-point shot.
Although he made a three-point foul, Lin Fei was quite dissatisfied with the fact that he failed to make two consecutive ultra-long shots.
Of course, because of Bob Sura's foul, this shot was not included in Lin Fei's shots, and theoretically there was no such thing as missing two shots in a row.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Lin Fei, who walked to the free throw line, was always steady, with a free throw attribute of 99, which was proud of the league, and he made all three free throws.
From the Finals to the Olympics, and then to the first three games of the new season, Lin Fei has not missed a single free throw.
Heat (86): (94) Rockets.
从林飞末节出战的3分多钟时间里,热火队打出了一波疯狂的15:2,把21分的分差迅速追到了只差8分。
Among them, Lin Fei made 3 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 10 points. O'Neal and Eddie Jones contributed 5 points, Wade 3 assists, and roughly 1 steal.
The Rockets fans in the Toyota Arena immediately became nervous. The Heat are going to reverse the rhythm!
Jeff Van Gundy also quickly called another long timeout,
Seeing the recovery of Wade and O'Neal at the end of the quarter, Eddie Jones and Gu Da were very active on both ends of the offense and defense. Jeff Van Gundy did not dare to put the defense on Lin Fei alone.
If this continues, the Rockets may really be reversed.
At the same time, Jeff Van Gundy also criticized Tracy McGrady's excessive shooting, reminding the team that they should stabilize the rhythm now.
McGrady was not convinced by Van Gundy Jr.'s criticism, but instead questioned his defensive strategy and played the big name of the star.
Some contradictions appeared among the generals of the Rockets, which obviously affected the unity of the team.
In front of the on-site commentary stand, although this is the home court of the Rockets, the two commentators couldn't stop praising and commending Lin Fei.
"Lin played so well tonight, he has now scored 41 points!"
"A guy who can only shoot three-pointers, but helped the Timberwolves win the championship, and became the only focus of tonight's game!"
"The next step is to see how the Rockets adjust. Their offensive and defensive options have big problems in the final quarter!"
"Dwayne has contributed 15 points and 12 assists, and 12 assists also set a record for his personal assists in a single game!"
"With Lin in the backcourt, this season's Dwayne, it seems that he really has the opportunity to compete with Nash, Kidd and others for the assists title of the season!"
Back from the timeout, there are still 6 minutes and 42 seconds left in the final quarter of the game.
Dayao held the ball in the low post and faced O'Neal. This time he was roughly double-teamed decisively again, but Dayao was mentally prepared and quickly passed the ball to Uncle Huo who was in the high post. The latter made a jump shot to stabilize the situation.
"Shh!"
back.
The Rockets suddenly resorted to double-teaming tactics against Wade. The oppressive double-teaming of Jim Jackson and Tracy McGrady made it very risky for Wade to distribute the ball to Lin Fei.
"Snapped!"
McGrady's long arm and big hand directly touched the basketball, and Bob Sura came up to resist Lin Fei and quickly got the ball.
Wade made a mistake and the Rockets launched a counterattack.
The Heat's retreat was very timely. Wade and Lin Fei rushed to the front. McGrady, who was holding the ball, attracted two double-teams, and quickly distributed the ball to Jim Jackson who was rushing up from this side.
The latter took the ball into the penalty area, flew up and sent a dunk.
"Boom!"
The Rockets came back from a timeout and scored 4 points in a row, re-stabilized the situation, and brought the lead to 12 points.
Jim Jackson also took the initiative to high-five McGrady when he returned to the defense. Although the two had conflicts, winning has now become a common goal.
If the Heat complete a 21-point comeback in the final quarter, then everyone and the team will be nailed to the pillar of shame together.
The Rockets fans at home are boiling again, how could the team be reversed by the Heat so easily?
Even though McGrady had a dispute with the head coach, he still showed his full strength on the court. The defensive end double-teamed Wade to destroy the pass, and the offensive end assisted Jackson for a dunk.
At the critical moment, McGrady showed his responsibility as a team leader, and the Rockets also became more united at this moment.
After all, Wade is not a purebred point guard, but also a second-year rookie. His ability and experience in facing double teams still needs to be improved.
Perhaps tasted the sweetness, the Rockets in a subsequent defense, McGrady rushed up again and Jim Jackson double-teamed Wade holding the ball.
But Wade was mentally prepared and quickly gave the ball to Eddie Jones who was open to meet him.
Seeing that Lin Fei didn't have a suitable opportunity to catch the ball on the outside, Eddie Jones didn't hesitate, directly forced the basket, and Huo Ershu, who came up from the supplementary defense, changed hands and scored a layup.
"Shh!"
"Beep!"
The ball scored and the whistle sounded, 2+1.
"Shh!"
Eddie Jones, who went to the free throw line, also added free throws, and he has scored 17 points tonight.
The point difference returned to single digits again.
Looking back, Dayao seized the opportunity after the top of the arc and Tracy McGrady's pick-and-roll, caught the ball and shot a 19-foot high jumper decisively.
"Shh!"
Also in.
The Heat attacked, and Lin Fei borrowed O'Neal and roughly two consecutive screens at the top of the arc, reached a 0-degree angle on the right, and then threw off Uncle Huo who was changing defenses.
But Wade, who broke through the middle, was not sure about passing the ball. When Jim Jackson on the right side of his body raised his hands to intercept the pass, Wade did not hesitate, went directly to the penalty area and picked the basket.
"Shh!"
Back on the defensive end, Lin Fei stepped up decisively to intercept the breakthrough McGrady, forming a double-team with Eddie Jones.
McGrady did not take the risk of attacking, but quickly distributed the ball to Bob Sura, who was squatting in the left corner.
Substitute Raider Bob Sura has already hit 4 three-pointers in this position tonight, but his physical strength still has problems at the critical moment. The defensive end chasing and defending Lin Fei consumes too much, which directly affects his own strength. feel.
"Bang!"
This time the shot was short and the basketball hit the front of the basket. After popping out, the defensive rebound roughly turned over and grabbed it.
The Heat counterattacked, and this time Wade gave the ball to Eddie Jones ahead of time during the counterattack, and he threw off the defense and went straight to the frontcourt.
Wade without the ball is too fast, Jim Jackson can't keep up at all, this is obviously an excellent opportunity.
"Whoosh!"
Under the huge motivational trend of reversing the game, Eddie Jones did not pay attention to Lin Fei's running position, but got rid of McGrady's pressing, and passed the ball accurately and long to Wade who was entering the penalty area.
After receiving the ball, Wade jumped up in one step, flew over half of the paint area, and sent a explosive tomahawk dunk.
"Boom!"
This fast-break dunk was so shocking that the players on the Heat's bench jumped up instantly, waving towels excitedly.
The Rockets fans at home began to feel uneasy again, and the point difference has been chased to only 7 points.
On the timer, there are still 4 minutes and 09 seconds before the end of the final quarter.
Heat (93): (100) Rockets.
Jeff Van Gundy frowned, feeling that the momentum was not good again, but he still chose to trust the players' ability to adjust. After all, he only had one long timeout and one 20-second short timeout left in his hand.
The Heat are frantically chasing points, and the game has become more intense and entertaining. Tonight, the scoring efficiency of the two teams is very high. With 4 minutes left in the final quarter, the total score of the two teams is close to 200.
But the Rockets fans at home still felt that something was missing, probably because Lin Fei hadn't received the ball or shot for more than 2 minutes.
"Why did the Heat suddenly change their style of play? Didn't they pass the ball to Lin? Damn, it's only a three-pointer to break the record. I'm getting anxious!"
"Stan Van Gundy is still very calm. He saw through the Rockets' defense and played team basketball. Didn't the point difference be quickly narrowed to 7 points?"
"With the hope of reversal, Lin's three-point record is not so important. Winning the game is the most important thing!"
"It's not that easy for the Heat to come back. So what if they catch up to 7 points? There are only 4 minutes left in this game. I believe Tracy and Yao can hold on!"
On the court, McGrady finally stood up again at the critical moment, borrowing Dayao's breakthrough after the pick-and-roll to make an emergency stop, and scored two more points with a mid-range jumper.
"Shh!"
McGrady has scored 39 points tonight.
The Toyota Center Arena sounded warm MVP shouts.
Although it is the scoring leader in the past two seasons, the Magic has a poor record, so McGrady has never entered the regular season MVP discussion.
But joining the Rockets this season, as a team with enough strength to reach the playoffs and even the top four in the Western Conference, McGrady has the opportunity to hit the MVP of the regular season.
In the official MVP rankings before the start of the new season, McGrady also ranked 6th, and was favored by many media experts.
If the Rockets finally win tonight, McGrady will undoubtedly be the MVP of the game. Although Lin Fei's statistics are even more explosive and shocking, losing is the original sin after all.
The Heat attack.
With Lin Fei not catching the ball for 3 consecutive minutes, the Rockets' defense will inevitably be a little negligent. After all, the offense of others must not be let go, otherwise the Heat may really reverse it.
It was also at this time that the Heat switched to the second offensive system again. Through continuous cover runs, Lin Fei found an excellent opportunity near 30 degrees to the right.
"Whoosh!"
Wade broke through and scored the ball very sharply. Yao, who came up on the switch, was also obviously slow for half a beat. After receiving the ball, Lin Fei took off decisively, drew his sword out of its sheath, and saw blood seal his throat.
The basketball flew over the fingertips of Dayao's defense, like a sharp Yitian sword, piercing the heart of the Rockets.
"Shh!"
13th.
