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

Chapter 143 [143] Breaking into the top three in history, James is a lemon!
Hamilton's face turned green and red, but he had to admit in front of Lin Fei that this guy had indeed improved a lot compared to last year.

The best and most improved player in history and the best sixth man seem to be worthy of their names.

In front of the Heat bench, although he has returned to the bench position since the second round of the playoffs, Jason Williams has nothing to complain about and is actually very happy.

If the head coach insists on letting him start, but always puts Lin Fei in the best sixth man position, I am afraid that Heat fans will also spread their anger to themselves.

Since the beginning of the playoffs, Lin Fei's dribbling ability has improved rapidly. Williams, as the league's top point guard, has taught Lin Fei many dribbling skills.

Williams has used this double step-back three-pointer in his previous games, but it cannot be used as a conventional weapon because it is too difficult.

Naturally, it's not about dribbling away, but about three-point shooting. Williams is far from the same level as Lin Fei.

"Lin's dribbling skills have improved too much. When the season just started, I was obviously better than Lin in dribbling, but now I have been outclassed by this guy!"

Tony Allen, who was sitting next to Williams, said sincerely that Lin Fei was born to play basketball.

"Lin is still very talented in dribbling. With his training intensity, I feel that it won't be long before he becomes a new dribbling master!"

In the Heat's next offensive, Wade forced a breakthrough for a layup, but this time was successfully interfered by Big Ben and missed.
But O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebound, turned around and quickly passed to Lin Fei on the three-point line at the top of the arc.

Lin Fei made a double crossover that lowered his center of gravity. The change of direction was so large that he almost knocked Hamilton to the ground. Then he stepped back to outside the three-point line and shot with a raised hand.

"Shh!"

and also.

In shame and anger, Hamilton threw the ball too hard, infringing on Lin Fei's cylinder and losing a free throw.

"Beep!"

"Shh!"

Lin Fei, who stepped to the free throw line, made extra free throws and was as steady as an old dog.

Among Lin Fei's various statistics in the new season, in addition to leading the league in three-pointers, free throws that are easily overlooked by fans are also outstanding.

Throughout the regular season, Lin Fei took a total of 359 free throws, made 357 of them, and only missed two goals, with a shooting percentage of 99.4%.

At the same time, he made 209 consecutive free throws, which also significantly broke the NBA record for consecutive free throws.

The high stability of free throws further proves that Lin Fei's success in the three-point field is no accident.

Throughout the season, Lin Fei scored more than 2100 points, but all of these points were obtained by three-pointers and free throws, and not a single sports game scored two points.

"Lin's free throws are so stable. It seems that this is also a manifestation of his three-point talent!"

"Haha, if Shaquille can have Lin's level of free throw shooting, then I'm afraid he will already be No. 1 in history!"

"I still have to praise Pat Riley's long-term vision. Lin, Shaquille and Dwayne really complement each other, which makes the Heat strong!"

Seeing Lin Fei score 10 points in a row over Hamilton, Pistons head coach Larry Brown couldn't stand it anymore and once again stepped up his interference with Lin Fei's ball.

Now that he has gradually mastered the three-pointer after catching the ball, it is very difficult to restrict Lin Fei. He can only intercept it from the source and try not to let the ball pass to his hands.

The Pistons' top five executed defensive tactics very well. With the assistance of Billups and Prince, Lin Fei was unable to catch the ball in the next few rounds.

Wade stepped up his personal breakthroughs, breaking into enemy camps again and again carrying explosive bags and killing everyone.

After the first quarter,

Heat (32): (19) Pistons.

In a single quarter, they already led their opponents by 13 points, completely suppressing their opponents on both offense and defense.

But Stan Van Gundy warned the players not to be careless. The Detroit Pistons are very resilient. They are best at fighting tough battles and surviving in difficulties.

After the start of the second quarter, while Wade and Lin Fei were not present and O'Neal was leading the team alone, the Pistons launched a counterattack.
Antonio McDyess, who was in the same class as Rasheed Wallace, scored 4 points in a row, and substitute guard Carlos Arroyo also hit a three-pointer.

But O'Neal turned around and hit a hook shot under the basket, and he quickly responded. It was roughly the same as Jason Williams' three-point shot after pulling to the outside after the pick-and-roll.

"Shh!"

Although the defensive end was beaten twice by the experienced McDyess, he generally showed his own characteristics on the offensive end and responded with three-pointers from the outside.

This is roughly the value of the Heat today. The pick-and-roll effect between him and the point guard is very good, and it is easy to create opportunities to catch and shoot from the outside.

From the nervousness and anxiety at the beginning of the season to the calmness and stability in the playoffs now, the approximate three-point shooting rate has also stabilized at 39%, which has reached above the average level of league guards.

When I came to watch the game tonight, my wife Song Yang, who was sitting in the front row, also smiled and applauded my three-pointer.

Sitting next to Song Yang was Lin Fei's manager and girlfriend Qin Dongmei.

As Lin Fei became really popular this season, Qin Dongmei, as his agent and girlfriend, also attracted more attention from the media and fans.

Under Qin Dongmei's negotiation, Lin Fei not only signed a contract with Anta, but also cooperated with many well-known brands such as Porsche, Patek Philippe, and Pepsi-Cola, and his income from commercial endorsements was quite generous.

As early as last month, Lin Fei shot a promotional advertisement for a Porsche sports car, and coincidentally, the heroine of this advertisement was none other than Miss Universe Emily Vega.

The two had dinner together after filming the commercial that night, and were even rumored to be having an affair by the media.

In order to better expand the Chinese market, Pepsi-Cola has also recruited a group of well-known Chinese celebrities. In addition to Lin Fei, Pan Weibo, Gu Tianle, Cai Yilin, etc. are also Pepsi's spokespersons.

However, among these celebrities, Lin Fei is obviously the most valuable.

The Pistons quickly started a shark-cutting tactic, and O'Neal's free throws tonight were worse than expected. He stood on the free throw line twice in a row and missed all four free throws.

Seeing that the Pistons were having a lot of fun, Stan Van Gundy had no choice but to temporarily replace O'Neal and let Wade and Lin Fei play in advance.

The focus of the Pistons' defense tonight was O'Neal and Lin Fei. It was very difficult for O'Neal to be double-teamed by Wallace. This also made him play for nearly half of the game and only scored 4 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block. build.

After the rationalization of regional defense policy was introduced, the restrictions on O'Neal were indeed very great, and the double-Wallace defense was also very experienced.

Lin Fei finally understood that in the original world, the Pistons were able to defeat the Lakers in the 04 Finals because they limited O'Neal's explosion to a large extent.Without O'Neal, the Pistons put more energy into defending Wade and Lin Fei.

This made it difficult for Lin Fei to catch the ball in positional battles, but Wade's breakthrough was somewhat unstoppable.

Coupled with the care of the home referee, Wade went to the free throw line four times in the second quarter, making 8 of 7 free throws in a single quarter, and already scored 25 points at halftime.

In the second quarter, Lin Fei had only one "White Chocolate" three-pointer in a counterattack fast break. He scored 13 points at halftime, but he had 2 steals and 1 block on the defensive end.

"Dwayne's offensive ability is so outstanding that he deserves to be the second youngest MVP in the history of the league!"

"Both Billups and Ben were fouled three times at halftime. This is a big blow to the Pistons!"

"With 25 points at halftime, it seems that Dwayne has a good chance of scoring 40+ tonight. Against a team with the style of the Pistons, Dwayne does have more room to play than Shaquille and Lin!"

During halftime, the fans at American Airlines Arena became even more enthusiastic.

After the high-definition four-sided screen above the head played the highlight of the Heat's first half goals,
The prelude of the music familiar to the fans also sounded leisurely. Michael Jackson walked to the center of the stadium and sang two personal classics in person under the spotlight:

"heal the world" and "You Are Not Alone".

There were screams from many fans at the scene, and many people sang together with tears in their eyes.

In Tianchao's fifth live broadcast room, the commentators, Director Zhang and Yang Yi, also smiled and praised the popularity of G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

"You can even invite Michael Jackson. It seems that the Heat have become the most popular team in the NBA. They seem to be challenging the Lakers and the Knicks!"

"Jackson is also wearing our Lin Fei's No. 22 jersey. It seems that Lin Fei has so many fans now, and there are many famous superstars!"

"Yes, Lin Fei's style of play is changing many fans' understanding of the NBA and basketball. He is really starting a new era!"

In the living room of a seaside villa in Taiwan Province.

Sitting on the retro sofa, Jay Chou was nervously watching the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Heat and the Pistons on the 48-inch plasma TV.

Sitting next to Jay Chou at this time was Miss Hou, whom he had just fallen in love with after breaking up with Cai at the end of last year.

Seeing his idol Jackson becoming a guest performer during the halftime break and singing two songs together, Jay Chou couldn't help but get excited.

"It just so happens that my schedule has become more free recently, and I'm thinking of taking time to go to Miami to watch a Heat game. It would be great if I could also be a guest at the halftime show!"

At this time, Jay Chou is already preparing for his new album "Chopin in November" and has just finished shooting the movie Initial D. He is still relatively busy in music and film and television work.

Although it has become very popular in the Chinese-speaking market in China, in the English-speaking world, Jay Chou is still not confident about his influence.

"You can talk to your agent and negotiate with them. At most there will be a small appearance fee. It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, there are many Chinese fans in Miami!"

"It just so happens that you have a MV for a new song. Aren't you going to the United States for filming?"

As soon as Ms. Hou finished speaking, Jay Chou's Samsung mobile phone placed on the coffee table rang. It was the agent calling.

After getting through the phone, the person got straight to the point:
"Dr. Jay, the Miami Heat of the American NBA want to invite you to participate in the G2 game of the Eastern Conference Finals the day after tomorrow. The company also supports you to go, but the appearance fee they can offer seems to be a little less, only 20 US dollars! "

Jay Chou didn't expect good things to come so quickly. You must know that Lin Fei and the Heat are his current idols. As long as he has time, he will watch almost every Heat game, especially in the playoffs.

Not only do you not have to spend your own money to watch it, but you can get a US$20 appearance fee as a guest performer. You can also discuss with Lin Fei about participating in his own music video. Naturally, why not do it?

"Oh, this is good, of course I want to go!"

The reason why the Heat wanted to invite Jay Chou, a Chinese-speaking singer, to help out was naturally because of the huge market in China and the certain number of Chinese fans in the United States.

After all, with the rapid rise of Lin Fei, the proportion of Chinese fans watching the NBA has also shown a significant upward trend. Therefore, more cooperation with some stars in the Chinese entertainment industry will also be of great benefit in promoting the team's influence.

NBA President David Stern, also because of the rapid rise of Dayao and Lin Fei in recent years, has paid more attention to the Chinese market and plans to sign a star with enough influence in the Chinese entertainment industry to serve as the Chinese star of the NBA. Ambassador.

In fact, as early as the Denver All-Star Game in February this year, Jay Chou was invited to participate in the All-Star Game, but he was not able to get the opportunity because he was too busy at the time.

In fact, Lin Fei and Jay Chou had met each other a long time ago, and they also left each other's phone and MSN numbers.

Looking back to the American Airlines Arena, the second half of the game has begun.

Under the internal and external restraints of O'Neal and Lin Fei, Flash Wade continued to display his breakthrough skills, beating the Pistons' defense without enough power to parry.

Seeing that Wade was in a hot state, O'Neal and Lin Fei also took the initiative to give up the ball and happily stood aside to win.

The Heat's Big Three get along very harmoniously. Often in a game, whoever has a more obvious matchup advantage and is in better shape will be allowed to play more, without any intention of greed for credit.

The entire third quarter lasted for 10 minutes. Wade made 7 of 6 shots in a single quarter and added another 14 points from free throws. He had already scored 39 points before the third quarter was finished, and his shooting rate was close to a terrifying 70%.

The fans at home kept shouting MVP, and the sound was overwhelming. Many stars and celebrities who came to watch the game tonight were also stunned by Wade's performance.

Kevin Garnett rarely truly admires anyone. O'Neal is one, Lin Fei is another, and now Wade is also one.

"In terms of breakthrough ability alone, I feel that Dwayne is really not inferior to Jordan, and is better than Kobe and McGrady. He is definitely among the top three in the history of the league!"

Sizebiak beside him also praised:
"He is only in his second year now, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future. The Heat are doing better and better in the playoffs. It seems that they are far stronger than expected!"

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, who also came to watch the game, also praised Wade's performance, but they were inevitably a little sour in their hearts.

They are both rookies in the same class. Now that these two brothers have gone home early to go fishing, Wade and Lin Fei are actually killing more and more fiercely, and are heading straight for the championship. How can one of them be envious?
This offseason, James must pressure the Cavaliers management to make crazy reinforcements. He cannot waste his talents in Cleveland.

After three quarters, the Heat already led the Pistons by 19 points.

General manager Joe Dumars, who was sitting in the second row of seats behind the Pistons bench, was also frowning at this time and was quite worried about the team's experience in this series.

If the Pistons fall short in the playoffs two years in a row, and Ben Wallace's contract expires at the end of this season, Tayshaun Prince's rookie benefits will also end.

It will be very difficult to keep the Pistons' main lineup by then...
