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

Chapter 142 [142] Wade exploded, Lin Fei completely tortured the masked man!
Wade had completely lost his balance with the ball in the air. He obviously underestimated Ben Wallace's confrontational power.

But even though his body was close to level with the ground, Wade still looked at the basket and shot the ball with difficulty.

"Shh!"

"Pfft!"

The moment the basketball hit the net, Wade fell to the ground, but there was no pain on his face.

Big Ben defended the ball very well and did not reach out to foul rashly. His movements were very clean, but he still failed to stop Wade from the Flash.

Wade's breakthrough layup in the opening game immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the home fans at the American Airlines Arena, and the cheers and screams grew louder and louder.

"MVP, MVP, MVP..."

Mike Breen and Lightning Miller in front of the courtside commentary desk were also very excited. The excitement of this Eastern Conference Finals was truly extraordinary.

"Dwayne is fully worthy of being named this year's regular season MVP. He has shown his unyielding and stubborn basketball will!"

"Being able to win the regular season MVP as a second-year rookie shows how talented Wade is. Even if he gives up a meniscus to the league, he is still born for basketball!"

"But I still have to worry about Dwayne. If he continues to play like this, he may not be able to stay at his peak for long. I still hope that injuries can stay away from any player in the NBA!"

The Pistons quickly served the ball and attacked. Billups continued to pick and roll with Rasheed Wallace in the frontcourt. This time Haslem's pursuit was timely.
So Billups saw the right moment and faced Wade directly from the outside and tried to shoot a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

The ball missed, but the rebound hit the target very high, and the more active and flexible Ben got it ahead of O'Neal.

Ben passed the ball back to Billups, who then lobbed it to Rasheed Wallace.

Haslem's defense was very good, which also taught the man sitting on the bench of the Heat a lot.

In terms of defensive talent and concentration, there is indeed a big gap between him and Haslem.

Huo Tianzun didn't take Haslem seriously, and after a feint, he turned over and shot a jumper.

Rasheed Wallace's movements on this ball were very coherent and smooth, but his aim was still a little off.

"Bang!"

Basketball once again hit the ground running, and this time O'Neal took advantage of the situation and easily grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Heat completed a successful defense, and everyone in the starting five performed very actively on the defensive end.

Although the ball was not passed to Hamilton, that was because he had no chance to catch the ball. Lin Fei followed closely, making Hamilton's continuous runs in vain.

Larry Brown, who was sitting in the Pistons' head coach's seat on the sidelines, couldn't help but frown at this time.

After all, Hamilton is the team's leading scorer. If he is completely restricted by Lin Fei, the Pistons' already unsmooth offense will inevitably suffer consequences.

Lin Fei's defensive awareness and intensity also shocked the well-informed Larry Brown.

He has been in the league for so many years, and he has never seen anyone like Lin Fei, who can soar directly from the defensive slot to the defensive first team in one season, and has even reached the DPOY level.

The Heat counterattacked with a fast attack, and Lin Fei's off-ball movement always showed his elusive side at this time.

"Whoosh!"

Even though Hamilton was chasing closely, Lin Fei still relied on a frontcourt cross-screen with Shane Battier and followed up with a counter-attack without warning, quickly widening the distance between him and the masked man.
At a position 30 degrees and two steps away on the left side of the three-point line, he received Wade's precise pass.

But Hamilton is a master of off-ball movement after all. He still predicted Lin Fei's intention, so he stopped and pursued quickly. Almost the moment Lin Fei caught the basketball,
He quickly clung to him and swooped up. However, just when Hamilton jumped up subconsciously, his pupils quickly dilated, and he felt regretful in his heart.

Oops, I forgot that this guy is no longer the partial student from last year who could only catch and shoot three-pointers and couldn't dribble.

After a realistic shooting fake, Lin Fei suddenly turned his back and dribbled the ball. While throwing his opponent away, he calmly took off and shot decisively.

Prince was ready to catch up at this time, but he was still half a beat too late.

"Shh!"

The basketball went hollow into the net, and Lin Fei made a solid hit on his first three-pointer.

There were cheers everywhere, even though Wade’s difficult breakthrough layup just now was quite enthusiastic.

But Heat fans still prefer Lin Fei's three-pointer.

What's more, the turnaround and dribbling away after the shooting fake was done so smoothly that he completely deceived Hamilton, an experienced player.

Heat (5): (2) Pistons.

Hamilton, who was being teased by Lin Fei, naturally couldn't help it. He clenched his fists with purple eyes. When he came to the offensive end, he took the initiative to meet Billups and took the ball hand in hand.

It was obvious that he was preparing to fight in front of Lin Fei.

But Lin Fei is no longer the rookie last year who only chased the ball without the ball but did not defend the ball. He is a veritable double-team star in the league this season.

Hamilton is still the thin defender of over 80 kilograms, but Lin Fei's weight and strength have already made a qualitative leap.

Facing Lin Fei's oppressive defense, a pair of long arms almost covered the space on both sides.

Hamilton gritted his teeth and tried to break through from both sides, but was always tightly blocked by Lin Fei.

"Snapped!"

With quick eyes and quick hands, Lin Fei stabbed the basketball out of Hamilton's hand.
The panicked Hamilton almost made a mistake and quickly regained control of the ball. He had no choice but to combine the ball with his back, and faced Lin Fei for a very difficult shot.

In this shot, Hamilton directly regarded himself as Jordan Kobe, but he obviously did not have such a strong fadeaway jumper ability.

Lin Fei just flew to block it intentionally, and the basketball drew an awkward arc in the air and landed nearly half a meter to the left of the basket.

This is a very outrageous thing. Lin Fei's defense made Hamilton make a complete fool of himself.

The ball was protected by Haslem and quickly passed to Wade to counterattack the fast break.

The Pistons have a strong ability to adjust. They returned to defense very quickly this time. At the same time, Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince were almost both staring at Lin Fei.

Wade didn't stop doing anything, accelerated his breakthrough directly towards Billups, made a layup and scored the ball strongly.

"Shh!"

Billups was pushed all the way to the basket by Wade, but he was helpless in the face of the Flash's layup.

The ball was transferred. This time, through the high screen of Double Wallace, Hamilton finally managed to get some distance away from Lin Fei.
But Billups was guarded very tightly by Wade, and the ball was not passed out immediately.
The Pistons' attack also had no effect this time. Billups made a jump shot while breaking through, and Wade successfully defended against interference.

The ball still missed.

"Bang!"

In fact, in the regular season, the matchup between Wade and Billups can only be half-matched. Wade is more talented and full of momentum.

But Billups had more accurate shooting and richer experience. But by the Eastern Conference finals, Wade, who already had an MVP trophy, was completely unstoppable.

Not to mention a defensive warrior of Billups' level, even if it's Kobe, it's probably difficult to limit Wade's crazy performance.

Although Billups still hit the ball, Ben Wallace grabbed another offensive rebound.

"Snapped!"

He can gain an advantage in rebounding against O'Neal, which shows the strength of Ben Wallace as a blue-collar center.

O'Neal quickly came up, which forced Ben Wallace, who had no independent offensive ability, to choose to pass the ball out as quickly as possible.

Seeing Hamilton running out of the high post on the right, Ben Wallace quickly gave the ball away.

But as a center, his ability to support the pass is limited. Ben obviously did not realize the crisis contained in this pass.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Lin Fei, who was chasing Hamilton, jumped out, his long arms like a sword unsheathed, and swatted the basketball away.

Lin Fei strode forward, picked up the basketball in his big hands, and rushed directly towards the front court.

Hamilton was the first to intercept.

Lin Fei made a very smooth in+out change, leaving Hamilton behind and rushing along the wing.

Hamilton missed the ball and was shocked. He never expected that this kid's dribbling would be so good.

Billups also reacted quickly, letting go of Wade and rushing over to intercept Lin Fei.
Lin Fei was attacked from both sides and still didn't have much confidence in his dribbling ability. Seeing Wade rushing over from the left, he threw the basketball directly towards the steel backboard 10 meters away.

Although Lin Fei's basic passing skills are great and his attributes are still 0, his ability to find directions after hitting the board is as accurate as his shooting.

"Snapped!"

The basketball flew over Billups' head, hit the steel backboard and bounced to the left. Wade, who was rushing up from Prince's fast break, jumped up and took off one step inside the penalty area.

After catching the ball, he glided over half of the penalty area, grabbed the ball with one arm and launched a windmill dunk.

"Boom!"

Wade's incredible dunk completely ignited the American Airlines Arena. Fans praised him for being the All-Star dunk king.

This dunk must be given 9 points.

And Lin Fei, a god-level assister who hit the board from a distance, was also highly praised by Heat fans.

Lin Fei sent out steals on the defensive end, and connected with Wade for a gorgeous assist during the fast break. The Heat's advantage on both ends of the offense and defense became more and more obvious.

Especially the backcourt partnership of Wade and Lin Fei, it can be said that in the first three minutes, they completely suppressed the Pistons' backcourt combination.

After a wave of 9:2, Pistons head coach Larry Brown also quickly called a long timeout. If the game continues like this, it will be very detrimental to the Pistons.

韦德3投全中拿下6分，林飞三分球1中1，拿到3分1抢断1助攻，热火开场的9分被两人包揽，比卢普斯和汉密尔顿成为背景帝。

"Lin and Wade are really working together more and more tacitly. They are both offensive and defensive. One can break through and the other can shoot. It feels like there is almost no weakness!"

"These two guys have grown so fast that Shaquille O'Neal, now the number one center in the league, can only serve as a supporter!"

"The Pistons' defense is very targeted at Shaquille. As soon as he catches the ball in the paint, Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace will come up to double-team, one defending and the other going around to interfere!"

"Obviously, what the Pistons care more about is the intimidation of O'Neal and Lin. It seems that Dwayne is really going to explode in this series!"

After the timeout, the Pistons' offense changed their strategy, giving more to Rasheed Wallace to try to attack the inside.

Sure enough, "Roaring God" shook Haslem away and rushed to the basket. While attracting O'Neal to cover up, he passed the ball to Ben, who jumped up and dunked.

"Boom!"

The cooperation of the two Wallaces made it difficult for O'Neal to resist alone.

Back to throw, Wade's breakthrough and emergency stop shot from mid-range also hit.

"Shh!"

The touch has improved, Wade is in really hot condition, and his shooting has become more accurate.

Wade has scored 4 points on all 8 shots. It can be said that he defeated Billups on both offense and defense.

Lin Fei was not surprised by this, after all, he was a time traveler.

Lin Fei remembers that in the 06 playoffs in the original world, the Heat met the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals.

At that time, Wade was like a god. His average field goal percentage reached a terrifying 70% or more. He scored 35+ points in two or three games. The Pistons' top five players were really unable to guard against him.

Wade was invincible in the playoffs that year, and he had completely entered his peak state before the serious injury.

Although it is only his second season in 05, Wade is obviously more motivated and confident because he has won such a big award as the regular season MVP.

The Pistons attacked, and Billups finally responded. With the help of Rasheed Wallace's pick-and-roll, he hit a high two-pointer.

"Shh!"

The ball was transferred. This time Wade gave the ball to Lin Fei at the top of the arc. With a smile on his face, he motioned for him to try to play Hamilton in singles.

The Heat fans at the scene were also excited. Is Lin Fei finally going to perform singles with the ball?
You must know that although Lin Fei's dribbling has improved a lot in the playoffs, he still dribbles more often during catch-and-break situations and fast breaks.

But he has never staged a positional battle with the ball in a single matchup.

Facing Hamilton's defense, Lin Fei still has a certain degree of confidence. After all, the masked man is better at chasing people without the ball. When it comes to defending the breakthrough of the ball holder, he is completely inferior to Billups in ability.

"Lin, do you really think your dribbling is very good? If you want to play singles with the ball, just dream!"

Facing Hamilton's provocation, Lin Fei lowered his focus and did not respond with words, but his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Continuously dribbling under the crotch to find rhythm, Lin Fei kept changing his steps, while also carefully observing Hamilton's footsteps.

Pretending to break through to the left, Lin Fei successfully pushed Hamilton's defense to the left, and then stepped back to the right. The first step was to combine the ball with both feet, and with the second step, he had already opened up enough distance.
Facing Hamilton, who was stumbling and half a beat slower, Lin Fei's eyes were cold, he bent his bow and arrow, and shot again decisively.

"Shh!"

the second.

Lin Fei, who landed freely and confidently, spread his hands towards Hamilton:

"Richard, I'm very sorry, you are still the masked man who lost the finals last year, but I am no longer the same person I was last year!"
