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

Chapter 124 [124] 2005 All-Star dream lineup, the Heat’s Big Three are in the starting lineup!
Grant Hill was the first-round draft pick in 1994 and was once hailed as the successor to Michael Jordan.

With Jordan's first retirement, the attention of the NBA dropped sharply, and Hill also became the All-Star voter in his rookie season, when he was 22 years and 3 months old.

In his rookie season, he became the top voter in the NBA. Until now, no rookie has been able to break this miracle.

However, due to the lack of broadcasting efforts and global popularity of the NBA at the time, Grant Hill's total votes were only 128 million that year, which is only a little more than Lin Fei's 102 million in the first round.

NBA All-Star So far, the highest number of votes in the past is Michael Jordan in the 96-97 season. His total number of votes at that time was 245 million.

Today's Lin Fei has a very good chance of surpassing Michael Jordan's record for the most votes in history.

Fans watching the live broadcast of the game from all over China are also excited and excited by the achievements of their idol Lin Fei. Lin Fei has now become the pride of Chinese people all over the world.

"The Eastern Conference's Best of the Month and the first-round vote winner, the NBA's limelight has really been stolen by my brother Fei!"

"It feels like Wade is not here, Lin Fei has got more offensive opportunities and shooting rights, and he has obviously played more impressive statistics. After Wade comes back, should Lin Fei continue to play as a substitute?"

"Wade is indeed very strong, but Brother Fei is obviously stronger. This scoring efficiency is unprecedented. Should Wade be my substitute for Brother Fei?"

"No matter how good Brother Fei plays, he is a foreign player after all, and he didn't sign with Nike. I guess he won't be able to compete with Wade this season, but even if he plays as a substitute, he will still score higher than Wade!"

"Fei Ge suffers from dribbling and passing. The two statistics of rebounds and assists are too embarrassing! In comparison, Wade is much more comprehensive!"

"Why can't players without the ball be the team's first core? Jason Williams is willing to help Fei Ge. The Heat's backcourt combination is the most efficient!"

"Did Brother Fei only have 102 million All-Star votes in the first round? Isn't that too little? I feel that there must be omissions in the statistics of the NBA headquarters. The votes of our Chinese fans alone are more than 100 million, right?"

"The number of overseas votes must have been discounted, but even so, Brother Fei is definitely the well-deserved champion of votes!"

"I feel that the Heat should consider trading Wade. Now Wade can definitely exchange for a top-three power forward in the league. With Shaquille as an inside partner, the Heat's overall strength will definitely be stronger!"

Looking back at the Heat's home stadium, the American Airlines Arena, the game is in full swing.

The Heat took the lead in the opening game, and the Spurs' defense was very targeted. As a well-known defensive expert, Bruce Bowen was always chasing Lin Fei and blocking the passing line.

As for "White Chocolate" defending the ball, Tony Parker was also very focused. He was the first to pinch his pass to Lin Fei, followed by breakthroughs and shots.

At the same time, while Manu Ginobili on the flank was marking Shane Battier, he was also always paying attention to Lin Fei's running line, ready to double-team and intercept at any time.

Mr. Popovich, who was sitting in the Spurs head coach's seat on the sidelines, had a deep look in his eyes and looked confident.

With Lin Fei's continuous performance against the sky in December, starting from the Christmas game, he hit 12+ three-pointers in 4 consecutive games and shocked the entire league.
The coaching staff of the remaining 29 teams in the NBA also began to pay more attention to the attributes and characteristics of Lin Fei, the strongest 3D in the league, and carefully studied the methods and tactics of defending Lin Fei.

Mr. Popo's coaching team is the fastest and most effective among them.

When a rookie player rises rapidly in the league and performs continuously with outstanding performances, this is often his welfare period.
And when the fame and influence are completely spread, and more opponents in the league target and study, the player's state will decline to a certain extent and remain at a stable stage.

Mr. Bobo believes that Lin Fei's rookie welfare period is over, and his next performance will gradually return to a normal range under the gradual and systematic off-ball defense.

On the court, Jason Williams did not take a risky pass. To be on the safe side, he dropped the ball to O'Neal in the low post.

O'Neal faced Nesterovich with his back, and Duncan quickly rushed to double-team.

Even under the double-teaming of the two, O'Neal still did not panic, held high and hit high, pushing Nesterovic away while avoiding Duncan's press, turning over with a small hook and scoring the ball.

"Shh!"

O'Neal, who came to the Heat this season, has richer and more skilled skills in low-post play, combining talent and technology to a very high level.

The ball is switched and the Spurs attack.

Lin Fei mainly defended Ginobili, and the two foreign players who met in the Olympic finals were very familiar with each other.

Parker held the ball on the pick-and-roll with Duncan at the top of the arc, misplaced and accelerated to the basket, turned around and made a layup to score the ball.

"Shh!"

Looking back, Lin Fei continued to use cover runs on the outside to find opportunities, but Bruce Bowen's pursuit was very targeted, and he was always alert to the direction of the basketball.

After all, Jason Williams is not a master point guard. In front of a team with strong defensive qualities like the Spurs, his passing will always have the risk of mistakes.

This time, "White Chocolate" saw that Lin Fei rarely ran out of space at a 30-degree angle on the left, so he made an emergency stop and shook off Tony Parker, and quickly passed the ball.

But Parker always pays attention to the passing of "White Chocolate" and has a very in-depth understanding of his passing characteristics.

"Snapped!"

Parker reacted quickly, shot quickly, and directly stabbed the basketball passed by Jason Williams.

Ginobili rushed up to win the ball, and the Spurs launched a counterattack.

The Heat returned to defense very quickly, and the Spurs kept their pace and played a positional battle. Duncan took the ball in the high post and faced General. He feinted with his back, turned over and broke through, then made an emergency jump shot, and the basketball hit the ball steadily.

"Shh!"

Duncan can be said to have won the offense and defense against roughly this point. After all, he is the number one power forward in the league today, and the gap between roughly and Duncan is difficult to make up.

During the Heat's offense, Jason Williams' frontcourt shot again had a small deviation. Lin Fei was not sure about the first shot. Bruce Bowen and Duncan quickly doubled up, limiting Lin Fei's speed. shot.

With poor passing ability, Lin Fei had no choice but to throw the ball towards the basket.

But the rebound was unlucky this time, and it happened to be picked up by Nesterovic.

"Snapped!"

In the two consecutive offenses, Lin Fei failed to hit this point, and the three-point catch was obviously restricted by the Spurs.

Stan Van Gundy, who was standing in front of the Heat's bench, frowned slightly at this time. It seemed that Mr. Bobo had really taken great pains to restrict Lin Fei.

Then there is the Spurs, a perennial championship-level Western Conference team. Their awareness of both single defense and assist defense is very good. The unity of the players on both ends of the offense and defense is worthy of respect.

Although he didn't play well on the offensive end, Lin Fei always played a huge role on the defensive end, making it difficult for Ginobili to score in singles.
Even when defending Tim Duncan in a misplaced position, Lin Fei did a very good job, creating sufficient space for the team to adjust its defense.

Compared with the Christmas War, Lin Fei's defensive attribute has increased by 1 point, and the steal attribute has reached 98 points, which is close to the full value.

Although it was difficult for Lin Fei to get a chance to catch a three-pointer in the positional battle, Lin Fei sent out 2 steals on the defensive end in the first quarter, and also seized an offensive opportunity in the counterattack fast break.
After receiving a pass from Jason Williams and facing Manu Ginobili who was chasing up the defense, Lightning made a shot and scored 3+1.

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

In the last minute of the first quarter, the Heat also seized on the Spurs' defensive negligence. In the second attack, Lin Fei, who was running from the bottom corner, received the ball and made another shot.

"Shh!"

After the entire first quarter, even though the Spurs' defense against Lin Fei was almost airtight and advanced layer by layer, Lin Fei still made 2 shots and scored 7 points with one free throw.

O'Neal also played a more dominant performance when Lin Fei was limited. He made 6 of 4 shots in a single quarter, scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block.

But the Spurs' overall performance was better.

Heat (21): (24) Spurs.

In particular, Parker was in very good condition tonight, scoring 10 points, 3 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter. The opponent Jason Williams can be said to have completely exploded the opponent on both offense and defense.

Although Jason Williams' passing ability is very good, his defense is not at Wade's level at all.

Because Stan Van Gundy let Lin Fei and O'Neal play the entire first quarter at the same time, so they were replaced at the beginning of the second quarter to rest at the same time. Without Wade, the Heat's second team could not match the strength of the Spurs. .

In less than 3 minutes, the Spurs played a wave of 10:3, and the lead instantly came to double digits.

In addition to the Big Three, in terms of the depth of the overall lineup, the Heat really cannot compare with teams such as the Spurs and Suns.

In particular, Wade, one of the Big Three, is on a truce due to injury.

Stan Van Gundy quickly called a long timeout, only to let Lin Fei and Jason Williams play early.

The Spurs also quickly replaced Bruce Bowen and Parker.

After the whole game, the Spurs have always practiced the defensive tactics strictly required by Mr. Popo, the outside line mainly pinches the passing line, and the inside line double-teams O'Neal
This also allowed the Spurs to always maintain the lead in the score. Lin Fei and O'Neal played very hard.

But even so, after three quarters, Lin Fei still relied on his outstanding performance on the defensive end, actively running in the counterattack fast break to tear the Spurs' defense, and hit 6 three-pointers.

But tonight, except for Shaquille O'Neal and Lin Fei, the Heat's other players failed to stand up. Although Jason Williams sent 9 assists, he also made 7 turnovers.

In the end, O'Neal scored 29 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Lin Fei scored 21 points, 3 steals and 1 block. But apart from the two, no third person from the Heat scored in double figures.

Heat (82): (98) Spurs.

Another disastrous defeat at home, the Spurs completed a double play in the regular season.

After consecutive losses to the Mavericks and the Spurs, the Heat's home fans are also looking forward to Wade's return from injury.

"It seems we can't do it without Wade. Our lineup is still not deep enough. We can't always rely on Shaquille and Lin!"

"Even if Lin's three-pointer is accurate, he still relies too much on his teammates' screens and pass coordination. Once the quality of screens deteriorates and the passing line is blocked, it will be difficult for Lin to get high scores!"

"Wayne should play more passionately and be able to kill the penalty area when needed. Even if he doesn't score, he has a high probability of causing damage!"

The consecutive losses to the Mavericks and the Spurs also clearly exposed the problems of this Heat team. Although they won the Christmas game and the next two games, they were facing weak teams. Lin Fei also hit more three-pointers. Score the ball.

But once against the Western Conference powerhouses, Wade is missing from the Big Three, and the Heat's overall strength is not enough to complete the confrontation.

In the ensuing game against the Detroit Pistons, the Heat, without Wade, suffered another defeat, regrettably suffering a three-game losing streak.

With the Pistons all five, the Heat's defense switch is also a sharp weapon for limiting Lin Fei's three-point catch.

最终林飞在这场打活塞的比赛中三分球也只有8投5中，罚球3中3，拿到了18分4抢断。

The Heat swallowed a three-game losing streak, which also made the league more clearly aware of the technical characteristics and flaws of Lin Fei, the strongest 3D player.
The Heat management and coaching staff have also learned from this experience. No matter how strong a 3D player is, he may not be able to become the boss of a championship-level team.

With Dwayne Wade's official comeback, the Big Three reunited, and the Miami Heat also ushered in another wave of winning streak in January.

On January 1, with the end of the three rounds of voting for the All-Stars, the starting lineups for the 19 Denver All-Stars were officially announced.

Even though Lin Fei had some ups and downs in the arena at the beginning of January, it still couldn't affect his high popularity.

In the end, Lin Fei surpassed Jordan and became the NBA's all-time new ticket leader by virtue of his record-breaking performance of 309 million All-Star votes in three rounds.

The All-Star starters in the Eastern Conference are:
Guard (PG/SG): Dwyane Wade (192 million votes)

Defender (PG/SG): Lin Fei (309 million votes),

Forward (SF/PF): Vince Carter (182 million votes),

Forward (SF/PF): LeBron James (168 million votes),

Linebacker (PG/SG): Tracy McGrady (192 million votes),

Forward (SF/PF): Kevin Garnett (208 million votes),

A week later, through the voting of coaches of 30 teams, the All-Star substitutes for the Eastern and Western Conferences were also announced:
Eastern Substitutes (7):

Allen Iverson, Grant Hill, Paul Pierce, Jermaine O'Neal, Gilbert Arenas, Ben Wallace, Antawn Jamison.

West bench (7 people):

Ray Allen, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Shawn Marion, Amar'e Stoudemire, Manu Ginobili, Rashard Lewis.

The Heat and Suns ranked first in the East and West respectively. Both teams also selected three All-Star players. However, all three of the Heat were starters and all three of the Suns were substitutes.

Heat head coach Stan Van Gundy and Suns head coach Mike D'Antoni will also serve as head coaches of the East and West All-Star teams.

In addition to the main game, Lin Fei will also participate in the All-Star three-point contest with Ray Allen, Kyle Korver and others, and Wade will participate in the dunk contest.
