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

Chapter 132 [132] The Big Three take turns, the playoffs are coming!Lin Fei booked SMOY+MIP
As for how O'Neill and his wife unlocked the mysterious moves, and they were able to break the shoulder to the point of serious misalignment, this question has caused many media experts and fans to imagine.

However, because O'Neal's injury is an off-field injury, according to the rules of the contract, the Heat will stop paying his corresponding salary while O'Neal is recuperating.

Back then, a player from the Warriors was injured because he was riding a bicycle off the court, but he lied to the management that he was injured during training, in order to avoid the suspension of salary.

But this incident was finally discovered by the Warriors management, so the player was directly suspended for 30 games, and the punishment was quite severe.

Without O'Neal, the league's No. [-] center, the impact on the overall strength of the Miami Heat, especially in the offensive and defensive ends of the penalty area, is naturally still very huge.

Because in addition to O'Neal, the Heat's insiders are only available to Haslem, Roughly and Doriak.

And the strength of these three guys is far from reaching the starting level of a strong NBA team.

What makes Tianchao fans feel gratified is that roughly this season's playing time and field performance, especially the improvement of three-point shooting and defensive end, are quite obvious.

In general, I have also worked harder in training, and highly cherish the performance opportunities brought to me by the team.

If Lin Fei hadn't joined the Heat, he probably would have left the big stage of the NBA by now.

After the end of the All-Star Weekend, the Heat returning to Miami ushered in the challenge of three Eastern Conference teams, namely the Charlotte Bobcats, Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks.

The records of these three teams are quite bad, ranking in the bottom three in the Eastern Conference. Although O'Neal is on truce for the Heat, the Bobcats, Bucks and Eagles do not have strong insiders either.

Therefore, under the leadership of Wade and Lin Fei, a wave of three consecutive victories is not difficult.

Among them, in the game against the Bobcats, Lin Fei also met the "madman" who had just been traded from the Timberwolves and Sprewell, who won the championship together last season.

"Madman"'s state has declined significantly at the beginning of this season. On the one hand, it is the growth of age, but the biggest reason is the conflict and contradiction with the "Wolf King" in possession of the ball.

After all, he was an All-Star in the past. Even at the age of 34, "Madman" still has good strength.

What's more, he has come to the contract year this season. If he wants to get a good pension contract after the season is over, he still has to work hard.

Now coming to the Bobcats, with a group of recruits, "Madman" has quickly become the core offensive point of the team. Although the defense is poor, the offensive end is still averaging 20+ per game.

Apart from the competition, Lin Fei also brought the "madman" to a local beach restaurant in Miami to have a chat that night.

"Lin, no one would have imagined that you can grow so fast. This is only the second season, and the defense is directly at the top. I am optimistic about you!"

Thinking of last season in the Timberwolves, Xiao Transparent, who spent most of his time as a substitute, even if the Western Conference Finals and Finals broke out, he was still a partial student who could only shoot three-pointers and not defend.
Even a "madman" has to lament that Lin Fei's career is really a miracle that has never been seen in the NBA.

Lin Fei also laughed and said: "Latrier, you should also pay attention to exercise and don't drink too much. I believe your career can last for another 3-4 years!"

"The Bobcats are a rebuilding team. If you can perform well this season, it shouldn't be difficult to renew a contract with an annual salary of more than 600 million!"

Latterier looked at Lin Fei and thought of when he was young. He was also selected as an All-Star in the second season of his career. He had a bright future, but he had to pay the price for his youthful and frivolous comeback.

There's no going back now, it's a fucking life.

However, in Lin Fei, the "madman" learned tenacity and composure. He knew that he still loved basketball and his career should not end here.

As the Heat won 3 consecutive victories, the team's winning streak also climbed directly from 21 games to 24 games, continuing to set a record for the second longest winning streak in NBA team history.

But in the next game, the Heat ushered in the Houston Rockets led by Yao Mai at home.

As early as last November, when the two teams played against each other, the Heat had a strong victory over the Rockets at the Toyota Center Arena. Lin Fei even created a crazy record of 11 three-pointers in a single game.
He also scored 51 points in that game, becoming the youngest Mr. 50 in NBA history.

McGrady and Dayao held their breaths for the rematch in different places tonight, hoping to avenge the Heat in the away game and avoid being swept and double-killed.

Before the game started, Lin Fei's highlight performance in the Toyota Center game against the Rockets in November was played on the high-definition four-sided screen at the American Airlines Arena.

One after another, the sky-defying three-pointers made the Heat fans at home extremely excited, awakening clear memories and emotions in their minds.

In particular, at the last moment of that game, Lin Fei hit a wonderful three-pointer against McGrady who was kneeling on the ground at a 0-degree angle on the right side. That ball still impresses Lin Fei's fans so far.

At the same time, it also became the most embarrassing backdrop in McGrady's career.

Facing the boos and ridicules of the away fans, McGrady also clenched his fists before the game, and he is bound to regain face tonight.

The Rockets' current record ranks fifth in the Western Conference, only 5 games behind the No. 4 Dallas Mavericks.
Therefore, with only the last third of the regular season left, the Rockets must compete every game, hoping to eventually rise to a higher name.

With the trade of Jim Jackson and the acquisition of point guard David Wesley from the Hornets, the Rockets are more united as a whole and their record has been steadily improved.

The Rockets' starting five are:
Point Guard (PG): David Wesley,

Shooting Guard (SG): Bob Sura,

Small Forward (SF): Tracy McGrady,

Power Forward (PF): Juwan Howard,

Center (C): Dayao.

The Heat's starting five are:
Point Guard (PG): Jason Williams,

Shooting Guard (SG): Dwyane Wade,

Small Forward (SF): Shane Battier,

Power Forward (PF): Udonis Haslem,

Center (C): Roughly.

Roughly put on the starting lineup, Lin Fei continued to be the sixth man against fellow Yao Yao.

While Wade was recuperating from his injury, Lin Fei started about 10 games, and was basically a substitute for the rest of the games.

If the season ends in this way, then Lin Fei is eligible to compete for the best sixth man award.

With Lin Fei's explosive output of nearly 30 points per game, coupled with his defensive steal data ranking first in the league,

In the award of the best sixth man, as long as Lin Fei meets the regulations in the number of substitute games, then he is basically in a state of being the best.

In addition to the best sixth man award, Lin Fei also surpassed all competitors in the most improved player award.

Coupled with the Heat's record against the sky, even if Lin Fei is a substitute, he still has the opportunity to compete for the MVP of the regular season.

As for whether to be a substitute or a starter, Lin Fei doesn't have many requirements for the Heat now. Although he is a substitute, he plays more than 30 minutes in each game.

Although Lin Fei's physical fitness has improved a lot, it is even enough to support him to play 40 minutes per game, but there is no doubt that the shooting rate will be higher when the physical strength is abundant.

When it comes to the Celestial Derby, the attention of Celestial fans will naturally increase exponentially. Seeing the opening ball of Dayao and the two major Chinese Great Wall jump balls,

The pride of the Chinese fans also arises spontaneously.

"Without O'Neal tonight, I feel that Dayao will explode on the offensive end, but the Heat have a big inside player. It may not be so easy to win against the Rockets!" "I feel that Tracy McGrady and Dayao are getting better and better. It is also slowly on the right track, and I support the Rockets to win tonight!"

"The Heat have won 24 consecutive victories. We must hold on. I am still waiting for the Heat to break the Lakers' record of 33 consecutive victories and the Bulls' 72 victories!"

"A whole season is too long, and the team will be affected by injuries and other factors. It is really difficult to achieve 72 wins and 33 consecutive victories!"

"I believe in Brother Fei. Brother Fei hit 14 three-pointers on McGrady's head. I believe he can also achieve a big explosion tonight!"

On the court, as soon as the game started, Dayao went down after a pick-and-roll with McGrady, catching the ball and making a dunk.

"Boom!"

Without O'Neal, it was indeed a bit strenuous for Haslem and General to stop Dayao.

Wade's side broke through the basket and then scored the corner of the ball, and Battier's three-pointer was also hit.

"Shh!"

With constant running-in, Battier has also secured his position as the Heat's starting small forward. His defense and three-point catching attributes can be said to be a standard 3D player.

However, compared to Lin Fei's level, Battier is naturally two levels behind.

McGrady came over and continued to pick and roll with Dayao, misplaced the top of the arc and pulled out directly, and also hit a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Both teams played very efficiently at the beginning of the game, and the atmosphere of the American Airlines Arena was immediately mobilized by the wonderful game.

Lin Fei played 6 minutes later in the first quarter. He came up to the defensive end and faced McGrady in a dislocation. The defensive attributes of 98 were fully displayed. The oppressive death entanglement made McGrady almost make a mistake.

McGrady was extremely shocked in his heart. Lin Fei's defensive level seemed to be improving every game.

"Snapped!"

Taking advantage of the moment when McGrady swayed and turned around to forcefully make a shot, Lin Fei accurately predicted the opponent's movement, quickly struck out with lightning, and directly completed a clean steal.

"Snapped!"

Steal +1.

In the eyes of McGrady's shocked eyes, Lin Fei quickly gave the ball to Jason Williams who was about to go down. He walked to the wing in the opposite direction and then used Wade's cover to run back to the top of the arc in the middle.
Get rid of McGrady, receive a pass from White Chocolate, and make a decisive shot to chase a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Have it.

In Lin Fei's opinion, McGrady's overall oppressiveness and strength in chasing and defending him are still weaker than Peter Pan's Kobe, which directly reflects the difference in defensive level between the two.

After winning the All-Star MVP in the full game, the system directly rewarded Lin Fei with 1000 free attribute points. It seems that he has received important personal honors and awards.
Free attribute points will be given more generously.

And Lin Fei's current defensive attribute has also been directly added to 98 points, which is only one step away from 99 points.

As long as the defense reaches 99 points, Lin Fei can unlock the dribble, pass or layup, and he can't wait.

It is already near to bid farewell to the pure ballless players in the fans' impression.

As Lin Fei contributed a steal and a three-pointer at the beginning of the game, McGrady continued to be suppressed on both ends of the offense and defense.

This also made the Heat fans at home very excited, as if they foresaw Lin Fei's big explosion tonight.

In fact, both Lin Fei and Wade played very well tonight. After three quarters, they both scored 30+ points and scored a total of 62 points. Their performance was quite explosive.

But without O'Neal guarding the interior, the Rockets also played a wonderful performance inside and outside, especially Dayao, who has scored 29 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks after three quarters.

On the other hand, the general matchup was completely overwhelmed by Yao tonight, and Shane Battier and Williams didn't feel good either.

At the end of the final quarter, the Rockets' defensive end pinched Wade and Lin Fei, and the other Heat players failed to provide enough fire support.
In the end, under the leadership of Yao Mai and the explosion of the Rockets' role players, the Heat were overtaken by more than 10 points, and unfortunately lost the game.

Lin Fei made 13 of 10 three-pointers tonight and scored 36 points with free throws. His efficiency was also sky-high. He also had 3 steals and 1 block on the defensive end.

韦德同样是36分7篮板8助攻2抢断2封盖的准三双全面数据，但缺少了奥尼尔，球队的整体情况还是受到了很大影响。

Dayao and Tracy McGrady's pick-and-roll had a very terrifying effect. The two also scored 70+ points together. In the end, the Rockets won the game 112:103, refusing to be double-played by the Heat in the regular season.

The Heat's winning streak is also fixed at 24 games.

The Rockets' win also allowed other teams in the league to find ways to deal with the Heat. Without O'Neal, the Heat's overall strength has indeed taken a huge impact.

In addition, Haslem and White Chocolate also suffered some injuries during this period.
In the 12 games when O'Neal was out, the Heat lost 4 games, and their record dropped directly to 57 wins and 9 losses. The hope of hitting the Bulls' 72-win record became slim.

But even so, the Heat's record still ranks first in the league.

However, in the first game of O'Neal's comeback, Lin Fei also suffered a slight injury to his left knee due to a collision during the game.

Although the situation was not serious, Stan Van Gundy's medical team strongly advised Lin Fei to rest for a few games and he must fully recover.

For this reason, Lin Fei also had a 5-game truce. Agent Qin Dongmei specially hired a professional private doctor for Lin Fei to provide him with experience and guidance in avoiding injuries during the game.

After all, this was Lin Fei's first injury in the NBA. Although it was minor, it was still highly valued.

Under the leadership of Pat Riley, the Heat's management has a long-term vision and is not obsessed with breaking the winning record in the regular season. Instead, it decisively chose to let the main players take turns to adjust their status and prepare for the upcoming playoffs. Prepare.

In this way, Lin Fei, O'Neal and Wade all got some rest in the final stage of the regular season in March and April, and their competitive state became even better.

However, the Heat's record at the end of the regular season inevitably declined significantly.

However, judging from the current situation, the Heat have enough wins ahead of the Suns, and it is no longer a big problem to get the first record in the league.

This is one of the reasons why Pat Riley dared to let the Big Three take turns.

Time soon came to April 4. With the final day of the regular season over, the NBA's 18-2004 playoffs were finally about to begin.

热火队最终凭借65胜17负的战绩，领先西部第一菲尼克斯太阳（62胜20负）3个胜场，拿到了常规赛战绩的No.1。

Judging from the top eight record rankings in the Eastern Conference, the No.8 team is the Philadelphia 76ers led by Allen Iverson.

Therefore, the Heat will also meet the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs...

With the end of the regular season, the major data kings of this season are also released first. At the same time, awards such as MVP, best team, DPOY, best sixth man and most improved player need to be selected.

Will be announced during the first round of the playoffs...
