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

Chapter 135 [135] Stealing Harden’s step-back three-pointer, Lin Fei Wade competes for MVP!

As Lin Fei hit a three-pointer from a quick dribble, the entire American Airlines Arena burst into cheers and applause.

"OMG, God, what did I see? Lin dribbled the ball!"

"Does this guy really know how to dribble? Or did he make a super long pursuit after dribbling? This is so cool!"

"Has Lin improved his defense and started upgrading his dribbling? It seems that in the last few games of the regular season, he has more or less simple dribbling!"

"I've also heard that Lin has significantly improved his dribbling ratio in training recently!"

"Although this fast break dribbling was a bit stumbling, there were no mistakes after all. Haha, Lin is really good at learning things!"

"Jason dared to pass the ball directly to Lin at the three-point line in the backcourt. It seemed that he didn't want him to shoot more than half-court three-pointers, but he already knew that he already had the ability to dribble and make fast breaks. !”

"This three-pointer is so cool, and there are two consecutive blocks on the defensive end!"

Faced with Lin Fei's long three-point dribble, Allen Iverson was also instantly shocked.

In front of the commentary desk on the sidelines, ESPN's Mike Breen was even more excited, slapping the table and shouting:

"The transition between offense and defense just now allowed us to see a completely different Lin. He used skilled...ahem, not very skilled dribbling to connect his technical shortcomings between offense and defense, and truly achieved smooth flow. !”

"Even if Ray Allen has mature skills, it is difficult to see him shoot such a wonderful fast-break chasing three-pointer in a game!"

"When a player has top-notch three-point range and shooting percentage, is also a ceiling for forwards and defenders on the defensive end, and he can also dribble, then what does it mean?"

"I want to say that it seems to mean invincibility!"

The first half ended quickly, and the Heat entered the second half with a double-digit lead.

The four screens on the roof of the stadium also replayed many times the wonderful shots of Lin Fei's defensive end blocking two consecutive shots and hitting a chasing three-pointer during the fast break.

Although he has above-passing dribbling ability, Lin Fei still mainly plays without the ball on the court.

On the one hand, his 68 points of dribbling is still not enough to watch in top NBA competitions, especially the playoffs.
On the other hand, because the Heat have two ball-carrying cores, White Chocolate and Wade, Lin Fei doesn't have many dribbling opportunities at the tactical level.

There is a more important point, that is, although Lin Fei has the ability to dribble, his breakthrough layup attribute is still 0, and his passing attribute when encountering a double team after dribbling is still 0.

The attributes of layups, passes, and mid-range shots have not yet been developed. Even if you are an expert at dribbling, shooting a three-pointer is still the only reasonable option after being double-teamed.

Therefore, in Lin Fei's personal opinion, there are still many things he should improve.

Fortunately, in a championship contending team like the Heat, these technical flaws of Lin Fei will not be exposed. After a season or two of development, Lin Fei will

If he joins a new team, or seizes power in the Heat, his comprehensive skills will be enough to conquer more fans.

Also defeated more opponents.

After the start of the second half, with the three main players Lin Fei, O'Neal and Wade on the court at the same time, the Heat naturally always had the initiative in the game, and the point difference was once stretched to 20+.

6 minutes and 19 seconds of the third quarter,
Lin Fei received a pass from White Chocolate after a screen at the top of the arc, and was misplaced when Chris Webber switched defenses.

Under normal circumstances at this time, Lin Fei could choose to take action immediately after catching the ball.

But with 68 points of dribbling ability, and the team also has a huge lead,
Therefore, when Weber came up to defend, Lin Fei deliberately chose a newly developed offensive weapon:

Step back three points!
Lin Fei was already outside the three-point line at the top of the arc at this time. After lowering the center, he dragged the ball and quickly took a step back to the left. Then he bounced up.
After his legs landed on the ground, his left leg instantly took another step to the side and back. After a series of rapid steps back,
At this time, Lin Fei had already opened enough distance from Weber, and quickly took off to shoot a three-pointer from a position more than one meter away from the three-point line.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball flew over Webber's horrified head and roared toward the basket.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of the net was heard, and Lin Fei hit the first dribble step-back three-pointer in his career.

This step-back three-pointer is James Harden's famous stunt in the original world, and Curry has imitated it many times.

After Lin Fei passed the dribbling test, he began to practice step-back shooting many times in training.

Although there is a certain degree of certainty, the overall shooting rate is naturally unable to compare with the three-pointer after catching the ball.

The step-back three-pointer he just faced against Weber was able to hit steadily, which naturally had an element of luck.

Weber started to jump, turned around and signaled excitedly to the referee, Lin Fei's step back three-pointer was obviously a walking violation, wasn't it?

The referee Stephen Jiawei, who was standing on the side of the court, put his whistle to his mouth, but did not blow it, indicating that the game should continue.

Stephen Jiawei is one of the oldest and most famous referees in the league. He clearly saw Lin Fei jump to the ground with his legs after joining the ball, so there was no problem in taking another step.

This kind of step-back three-pointer is very fast. Once the referee can't see it clearly, it's a situation where you can blow it or not.

"Oh my God, Lin was so cool with a step-back three-pointer just now, wasn't he? He even learned Pierce's technique!"

"The three-pointers after dribbling away are so accurate, how can the defender defend them? Haha!"

"Should I say it or not, did Lin really not move when he made a three-pointer just now?"

With Lin Fei's step-back three-pointer, the Heat already led the Philadelphia 76ers by a full 26 points.

The 76ers coach Cheeks on the sidelines had no choice but to call another long timeout.

Allen Iverson looked back at the four screens above his head and keenly discovered the mystery hidden in Lin Fei's step-back three-pointer.

To be honest, for a master of dribbling like Iverson, Lin Fei's dribbling still has many flaws.

But as the saying goes, Lin Fei's continuous step-back design is still very novel. Once successful, it will basically be difficult for defenders to interfere with shooting.

But if you want to do this well, you also need strong waist and abdominal strength and technical support, especially shooting with high stability.

Iverson is self-aware. If he wants to do this continuous retreat, he will definitely be faster, quicker and more perfect than Lin Fei.
But in the final shot, Iverson admitted that he really couldn't do it.

There is not much suspense in this first round of G1. The Heat's Big Three seem to have entered playoff mode tonight. They are very active on both ends of the offense and defense, and the entire team is also very united.

After three quarters, the Heat already led the 76ers by 32 points, and the Big Three also clocked out early.

韦德22分6助攻5篮板2抢断1封盖，奥尼尔拿到全队最高的27分和12个篮板。

Although Lin Fei only hit 5 three-pointers and scored 17 points with free throws, he contributed 3 steals and 2 blocks on the defensive end.

At the same time, a chasing three-pointer in a dribbling fast break and a step-back three-pointer impressed the fans even more and will be unforgettable.

The second game of the series will continue two days later at American Airlines Arena.

The Heat coaching staff focused on O'Neal in this series, and O'Neal once again scored 30 points and 15 rebounds tonight, and also had an astonishing 4 blocks on the defensive end.

Wade and Lin Fei scored 42 points together, adding icing on the cake for Big Brother.The Heat easily won another victory and will move to Philadelphia in the next third game.

For the 76ers and Iverson, the third game is a game that cannot be lost, otherwise with a big score of 0:3 behind, there will be no chance of comeback.

But willpower can never override strength, not to mention the Heat's main players are in really good shape, and they are well prepared for this playoffs.

O'Neal was strictly restricted in this G3, and the 76ers gathered more defensive forces in the penalty area, which also made it difficult for Wade to break through and score.

If the Heat only have Wade and O'Neal, then the 76ers may really steal a game tonight.

But the Heat still have Lin Fei, which means the 76ers have no chance of winning.

Under the strong defensive restraint of O'Neal and Wade in the penalty area, Lin Fei was at home on the outside, running continuously to catch the ball and kill the 76ers without any ability to parry.

In just one quarter of the third quarter, Lin Fei made all 7 three-pointers and scored 25 points in a single quarter.

全场下来，林飞三分球15投12中，罚球7中7，狂轰43分3抢断1封盖，帮助热火队109:102有惊无险的拿下比赛。

What frustrates 76ers fans the most is not the huge 0:3 score difference in the series.
But Iverson scored 3 points in G49. He fought hard until he ran out of ammunition and food at the last moment, but was still unable to do anything. He sprained his ankle in the last minute and had no choice but to leave the game.

According to the official post-game response of the 76ers, Iverson will not be able to participate in the next series of G4.
In the end, the Heat easily swept the Philadelphia 4ers with a big score of 0:76, beating their opponents by an average of 23.5 points per game, and reached the Eastern Conference semifinals with overwhelming momentum.

The Heat's opponent in the next second round will be the winner of the series between the Washington Wizards and the Chicago Bulls.

The Wizards are led by "General" Arenas and Antawn Jamison this season.

The Bulls are a brand new young team. The team's main players Eddie Curry, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng and Hinrich are all under 24 years old.

The two teams are currently tied at 2:2 after four games, which also means that the Heat and Lin Fei will have at least 5 days of rest.

No matter who wins between the Wizards and Bulls, they seem to be helpless in front of the Heat led by the Big Three.

The Heat's only opponent in the Eastern Conference this year is probably still the Detroit Pistons, led by the top five.

During this period, Lin Fei continued to practice dribbling three-pointers and actively made up for his personal technical shortcomings.

In the Western Conference, the Suns also swept the Grizzlies 4:0 in the first round, and the Spurs defeated the Nuggets 4:1...

As the first round of games comes to an end, NBA officials have also released the major selection awards for the regular season.

Lin Fei undoubtedly won the Sixth Man of the Year (SMOY) and Most Improved Player (MIP) awards at the same time.

Averaged 30.2 points, 2.9 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.

Lin Fei's explosive statistics also made him the only Sixth Man of the Year and Most Improved Player in NBA history to average 30+ points per game.

Naturally, he is also the only player to win these two honors in the same season.

The Rookie of the Year went to Emeka Okafor of the Charlotte Bobcats, with 15.1 points and 10.9 rebounds, beating "Warcraft" Howard.

Of course, this does not prove that Okafor is better than "Warcraft", it is just because a newly formed team like the Bobcats is too suitable for data brushing.

The Best Defensive Player once again went to Ben Wallace of the Detroit Pistons. This is also the third time that Ben has won DPOY in his career, which can be said to be the ceiling for blue-collar centers.

The best coach was torn between Stan Van Gundy and Mike D'Antoni, but in the end the league chose to give it to D'Antoni.
After all, Stan Van Gundy has three All-Star starters next to him, and the Suns' success is obviously more due to "Mustache's" run-and-gun tactics.

There is no doubt that the best manager of the year is Heat general manager Pat Riley.

During the offseason, they acquired O'Neal and Lin Fei at the same time, making the Heat become the top team in the NBA, and Pat Riley played an important role.

If the Heat can win the championship this season, Pat Riley will definitely be praised even more by fans and media.

What fans are most concerned about is naturally the list of regular season MVP and best team.

Although the Miami Heat won 65 games this season, they also played many classic games and showed their dominance.

However, the ball rights among the team's three main players Wade, O'Neal and Lin Fei are too even, and their personal data are similar.

This makes the three of them somewhat disadvantaged when competing for the regular season MVP award.

Since the end of the regular season, the most popular MVP winner has been Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns.

But Nash not only has outstanding assists in his personal data, but also has a big gap in points per game compared with the Heat's Big Three. The Suns' record is also three games less than the Heat's.

So in the end, the regular season MVP was given to Steve Nash, which seemed to be unconvincing.

In the original world, the reason why Steve Nash was able to win the regular season MVP by averaging 15.5 points and 12 assists per game was

The main reason is that the Suns started a new style of play that year, and with 62 wins, they were indeed the team with the highest winning rate in the league.

"The regular season MVP should go to the best player on the best team in the league!"

In those few seasons, this sentence became the strongest defense for two-time MVP Steve Nash in the face of embarrassing statistics.

But now it is completely different. The Miami Heat are a stronger team than the Phoenix Suns. It is most appropriate for the regular season MVP to be given to the strongest player on the Heat team.

Not to mention Lin Fei’s 30.2 points, 2.9 steals, and 1.3 blocks in the regular season this season.

韦德的28.1分9.2助攻5.3篮板1.8抢断1.4盖帽、

O'Neal's 25.2 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.4 blocks,

The overall data crushed Steve Nash.

But if the regular season MVP is to be given to a Heat player, then who is the most suitable among Lin Fei, Wade and O'Neal, and who is the real first core of this team?
With all the first round games of the playoffs over, the regular season MVP voting results are finally out.

American Airlines Arena, on the fourth day back from Philadelphia to Miami,
Lin Fei, Wade, O'Neal and others are training on the court to prepare for the next second round.

The Wizards eliminated the Bulls with a score of 4:2, so the Heat's next opponents in the second round are the General and the Washington Wizards led by Antawn Jamison.

"Good news, the regular season MVP is out, and he is among the three leaders of our team!"

Substitute Tony Allen held a sports morning newspaper in his hand and rushed in excitedly from outside the training hall, shouting as he ran.

All the Heat players looked at Wade, Lin Fei and O'Neal with envy.
And these three guys are all smiling, showing friendship, humility and respect to each other, and at the same time they are inevitably a little excited.

O'Neal was the first to say cheerfully:

"Don't look at me, my stats are still a little bit worse. It's not like I haven't won this regular season MVP. This time it's cheaper for Lin or Dwayne!"

Jason Williams took the newspaper from Tony Allen and his eyes were equally shocked:
"Oh my god, this should be the most competitive regular season MVP selection in NBA history, right?"

"Lin and Dwayne actually both received 36 first-place votes at the same time!"
