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

Chapter 182 [182] The alliance officially promulgated the "Lin Wei Terms", it's another year's finals!
The Heat announced that O'Neal and Lin Fei were sidelined due to injuries at the same time. The news was sent from the official website at around 11:30 in the morning.
In less than an hour, this message on the Heat's official website was forwarded thousands of times by comments and received hundreds of thousands of clicks.

The NBA section of Yahoo Sports is also on the verge of a meltdown. More than [-] American fans have questioned and commented on this, believing that there must be an unknown conflict within the Heat.

"Watt? Shaquille and Lin are out due to injuries at the same time? Let Wade lead the team against the Pistons alone? Isn't this a joke?"

"Is the news true? Is it really forwarded from the Heat official? My God, what on earth is the Heat management doing?"

"Lin and Shaquille were injured in pre-game training at the same time. Do you think I believe it? This is even more unreasonable than claiming that Lin and Shaquille are in love!"

"Don't think about it, it must be because of the issue of contract renewal. Lin and the Heat management are at a deadlock again. Pat Riley is really ruthless!"

"Wade is allowed to lead the team alone against the Pistons' top five at Detroit's home court. It's weird that G3 can win!"

"It's not like this if you want to let him go, right? Pat Riley's move is really clever. It not only shocked Lin, but also helped him sell two more home games with ticket money!"

"Does Pat Riley no longer want to be the general manager? It's still a critical period for the Heat to defend their title. Doing things like this will only demoralize the team!"

Of course, in the comment area, in addition to the many fans who question the Heat's internal conflicts and speak for Lin Fei, there are also some unharmonious reactionary voices, which are obviously the trolls and black fans of capital:

"It's best not to talk nonsense without evidence. Is it impossible for Lin and Shaquille to be injured at the same time? The Heat have a clear lead now. Let the two have a minor injury and take a truce. They should repair it and return to the home court to sell one more game. Tickets, why not?”

"If Lin doesn't agree to renew his contract with the Heat, doesn't he even agree to the sign-and-trade condition? That's really disrespectful!"

"Don't slander the Heat management out of thin air. Pat Riley is a wise and far-sighted general manager. How could he easily ban a player? Maybe Lin himself is trying to force him out of the competition because he doesn't want to play!"

"I feel that this matter is not simple, but I still can't understand why Lin insists on doing things so absolutely and not leaving any benefits to his home team!"

"I feel that Pat Riley has been really kind to Lin. Don't underestimate Dwayne, he is also capable of leading the team to win the championship!"

Lin Fei himself was officially informed by the coaching staff 5 minutes before the Heat's official announcement that he would not have to play in G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight.

After being informed of the decision by assistant coach Spoelstra, Lin Fei, who was at the Palace Training Center of Auburn Hills, was slightly stunned, but he soon understood and looked relieved.

He was notified only 5 minutes before the official notice was sent out. This obviously left no room for negotiation and was equivalent to being suspended from the team.

"Assistant Coach Spoelstra, I understand that I am suspended from the team?"

Spoelstra also looked embarrassed, patted Lin Fei on the shoulder and comforted:
"Lin, I just learned about this. The management's attitude is very tough, and our coaching staff can't do anything about it!"

"In this way, you and Shaquille will take a break together first, and you can make up for the rest you missed in the regular season. These playoff games have been played in succession, and you have worked hard! Just adjust your condition!"

In the second half of the regular season this season, in order to ensure the first place record, the Heat's Big Three did not get a chance to rest.

Lin Fei only played 76 games in the regular season last season, but he played 80 games this season. He only took two breaks during the entire season.

Assistant Coach Spoelstra's words sounded nice, and he asked Lin Fei to take a truce to ensure a better condition.
But in fact, Lin Fei knew in his heart that Pat Riley's majesty in the Heat was something that no one, including Stan Van Gundy, dared to question.

Except for owner Mickey Arison.

Lin Fei did not agree to a sign-and-trade, which was obviously a slip in the pants of Pat Riley.

Although he was a little unwilling, Lin Fei's mentality quickly adjusted. Just take a break, and he would not be affected anyway.

As for falling out with Pat Riley's Heat management and causing a desperate situation, Lin Fei believes that it is completely unnecessary under the current circumstances.
After all, as a commercial league player, there is nothing wrong with obeying the team's arrangements. Having to have a quarrel with Pat Riley will not do any good to his public opinion and idol image.

"Assistant Coach Spo, if this is the case, then I should give myself a holiday!"

Seeing Lin Fei's natural and unrestrained reaction, even Spoelstra, who was frightened in his heart, felt incredible.

Lin Fei's psychological quality and Chengfu were really too strong, and he couldn't see through it.

In Lin Fei's view, Pat Riley's suspension of him from the team was just a declaration of his authority. The godfather who has been in the league for more than 20 years does not allow stars to override his majesty.

What's more, Lin Fei is just an Asian star.

But Lin Fei knows better than anyone the situation he and the Heat are currently in. Pat Riley is also as clear as a mirror.
Even if Lin Fei becomes a free agent in the offseason and has nothing to do with the Heat, judging from the current situation, Lin Fei and the Heat are still in the same boat.

If Pat Riley's team suspension of Lin Fei affects the Heat's team record, especially the team's unity and military stability, and ultimately leads to the loss of the championship,
Even if Pat Riley has made great contributions to the Heat over the years, he may lose his position as general manager.

On top of Pat Riley, there is also pressure from owner Mickey Arison, as well as pressure from fans, league headquarters, major news media and capital.

Lin Fei didn't believe that Pat Riley dared to risk losing the championship by banning himself continuously. That was definitely a stupid decision.

Of course, the most perfect result is that without Lin Fei, Wade and O'Neal lead the team to win the championship again. This will be Pat Riley's only chance to win.

Lin Fei is not questioning the upper limit of the team led by Wade and O'Neal. After all, in the original world in 06, these two brothers led the team to defeat the Mavericks in the finals and win the championship.

But today is different from the past. Compared with the same period in the original world, O'Neal's decline is obviously greater, and the Mavericks have also become significantly stronger.

Even if Lin Fei is really suspended by Pat Riley until the finals, and Wade and O'Neal finally lead the team to win the championship, this will still be no loss to Lin Fei personally.
He will also wear a suit at the championship awards ceremony, applauding teammates Wade and O'Neal, and also win the third championship ring of his career.

In this way, when things break out in the offseason, Lin Fei will no longer owe the Heat any favors, and fans and public opinion will also turn to attack Pat Riley.

After Wade learned the news, he seemed even more excited than Lin Fei. He had a heated discussion with Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines:
"Why? Why should Lin be suspended in such a crucial game? The management's decision is simply unreasonable!"

Stan Van Gundy sighed and said helplessly:
"Dwayne, I have fought for it, but there is no way. In this game tonight, you must take greater responsibility!"

Wade could naturally guess why Lin Fei was banned from the team. Regarding Lin Fei's refusal to sign and then trade with the Heat, Wade also asked himself,

If it were him, what would he choose?
Sacrifice yourself to become a global team?
Or is he brave enough to protect his personal interests like Lin Fei?

As a player and a friend who has played side by side for two consecutive seasons, compared to those superior management personnel, it is natural that Wade should trust and support Lin Fei more.

"Lin, that old guy Pat Riley would never dare to suspend you for a second game. He was just using useless tricks. He is probably starting to regret it now!"

Wade came up and patted Lin Fei on the shoulder, puffing out his cheeks and consoling his teammates sincerely.

Lin Fei smiled and said, "DeWayne, O'Neal and I will be sitting in the audience tonight to watch your performance. I believe you can beat the Pistons even if you lead the team by yourself!"

Wedder suddenly felt a lot of pressure, spread his hands and said with a smile: "Lin, I can only do my best!"

But when he thought about facing the Pistons' iron barrel array without Lin Fei and Shark around him, Wade couldn't help but twitch his dark little nose.
I began to curse the old guy Pat Riley again.

While eating a nutritious meal at noon, Lin Fei also received a call from his agent Qin Dongmei. At first, he really thought Lin Fei was injured during training.

"This is too much, Lin Fei. I will ask the public relations team to directly expose the despicable behavior of the Heat management, and at the same time contact the NBA headquarters to ask for an explanation!"

Listening to Qin Dongmei's excited and angry voice on the other end of the phone, Lin Fei persuaded with a calm smile:

"Dongmei, there's no need to come in a hurry. I'm just taking a break from the team for one game. I just want to give myself a break!"

"If the management continues to ban me from the game in the future, we will have to act according to our own circumstances!"

"It's not good to pierce the window paper so early!"

"Also, I have made it clear to the Heat that I will not choose to sign first and then trade. When I choose to sign with another team during the offseason, I no longer have to worry about this!"

Qin Dongmei on the other end of the phone was still a little angry, but she was quickly influenced by Lin Fei's good attitude and decided to take a step back.

The news that Lin Fei and O'Neal were both sidelined due to injuries has spread through the Internet and ESPN radio to all fan groups around the world who are paying attention to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals in the afternoon local time in Detroit.

This side of heaven,

New Wolf Sports Network and Sohu Sports Network were full of fans' scoldings, and 99% of the blame was directed at the Heat management.

"Brother Fei has always been healthy this season. How could he suddenly get injured in such a crucial game in G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals? There is definitely something wrong with this!"

"The official website said that Fei Ge was injured in training, and he was with O'Neal, and they did not announce the specific injury. This is clearly a team suspension in a different direction!"

"Is the Heat management jumping over the wall in a hurry? Seeing that Pat Riley couldn't keep Lin Fei, they just banned him from playing. This is so disgusting!"

"A ban is a ban. What's the big deal? If my brother Fei doesn't win the Finals MVP, the Heat won't win the championship. It depends on who loses the most. In short, he must go during the offseason!"

"That's right. We will fight the Heat management to the end. If Wade leads the team alone and can beat the Pistons, I will stand on my head and eat shit live!"

"Isn't the NBA too dark? Brother Fei should return to the CBA to play!"

There are five sets in the Celestial Dynasty,

When they learned in advance that Lin Fei would miss Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals due to injury, the leadership of the TV station also attached great importance to it.

I took the initiative to contact Heat officials and NBA headquarters, hoping to get precise information.

The Heat officials just stalled the matter, and the person in charge of the broadcast of Tianchao TV put a certain amount of pressure on the Heat and the league headquarters.

At the same time, the Basketball Management Department of the Sports Bureau also immediately contacted a Chinese representative from Lin Fei's agent team and learned more about Lin Fei's situation through his agent Qin Dongmei.

The most important thing for China is obviously not whether Lin Fei can participate in the Eastern Conference Finals, nor the conflict between him and the Heat management, but the extent of his injury.

As the absolute number one in today's sports circle, Lin Fei's health is of great significance and is related to the huge industry and related interest chains.

At the same time, the relevant persons in charge of several major brand groups such as Anta, Porsche, and Pepsi Cola who signed Lin Fei's contract also put pressure on the Heat management and questioned the authenticity of Lin Fei's injury.

Fans from all over the world who have been waiting in front of the TV in advance, especially the loyal fans of the Heat and Lin Fei,

After learning halfway through that Lin Fei would be absent from G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, I immediately felt disappointed and my enthusiasm for watching the game was reduced by half.

Fans who entered the arena early at the Palace of Auburn Hills also felt a little disappointed. Although most of them were Pistons fans, they still wanted to see Lin Fei's wonderful three-point performance live.

Of course, more Pistons fans are relatively excited. After all, after Lin Fei and O'Neal ceased playing at the same time, the Pistons' chances of winning the away game will naturally be much higher.

Moreover, if both Lin Fei and O'Neal are injured, as the Heat's official statement says, then it is impossible for the two to be suspended for only one game.

A white female Pistons fan sitting in the front row couldn't help but sigh:

"Lin suddenly stopped due to injury. If I had known, I wouldn't have bought such a front position. I also wanted to see Lin's three-point performance before the game!"

A big black man not far away was so excited that he almost jumped up:
"The Heater I bought last night has a 7.5-point loss, and now it seems like a sure winner, haha. This one can earn at least 10 US dollars!"

An hour before the game, many Pistons fans were whispering in their seats:

"Without Lin and Shaquille, we still play at home. If we can't win this game, then we can really give up!"

"How can they not win? With Dwayne leading the team alone, the Heat are at the Cavaliers level at best, not to mention their interior defense is rubbish! Do we still expect an old Mourning to reach his peak?"

"I don't know what kind of injuries Lin and Shaquille have. If we can just sit out until the end of the Eastern Conference Finals, then we can hopefully win four consecutive games and advance to the finals!"

"This is probably unrealistic. I heard that Shaquille was really injured, but he could only rest for a week at most. Lin was not injured at all. He was suspended due to internal conflicts within the Heat!"

"It's good that the Heat have conflicts. They must support Pat Riley this time. It's best to make both sides suffer, and our Pistons benefit from it!"

"It's impossible for Pat Riley to give up the huge benefits of the championship just because Lin didn't renew his contract or agree to a sign-and-trade. It's probably just a one-game suspension to suppress Lin's pride!"

"General manager Joe Dumars should also take action in advance. If the Pistons can sign Lin with a maximum salary and then trade away Hamilton, then will this upgraded version of the Five Tigers not just win the championship?"

"It's unrealistic for Lin to come to the Pistons. It's a pity that the city of Detroit is declining too fast and is no longer competitive with big-name stars!"

At seven o'clock in the evening, the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals officially started, with all starting players from both teams taking the stage.

Without Lin Fei and O'Neal, the Heat's starting lineup is slightly shabby, with only Wade to support the appearance.

Point Guard (PG): Jason Williams,

Shooting Guard (SG): Dwyane Wade,

Small Forward (SF): Shane Battier,

Power Forward (PF): Roughly,

Center (C): Alonzo Mourning.

On the sidelines of the Heat bench, Lin Fei was wearing a black suit, sitting with O'Neal in a silver suit next to him to watch the game. He was handsome and even more handsome.

Many female Pistons fans around could not help but admire Lin Fei's appearance.

"Lin looks so handsome in a suit, right? He feels no worse than Leonardo at his peak!"

"I never thought Asians could be so handsome, so masculine!"

"I'm willing to lose ten years of my life in exchange for Lin wearing a Pistons jersey!"

A white female fan sitting not far behind Lin Fei, even though she was wearing a Ben Wallace jersey, couldn't help but get up and ask Lin Fei for his autograph. Lin Fei could only smile and pick up the pen.

The game started soon. As the fans expected, the Pistons stepped up their double-team defense against Wade. On the offensive end, they mainly attacked the inside and quickly took the initiative.

Especially Hamilton, without Lin Fei's suffocating defense, played like a fish in water on the offensive end. Wade's desperate pursuit and defense couldn't be used. He continued to run without the ball and hit the ball, igniting the Palace of Auburn Hills.

After the first quarter,

Heat (17): (28) Pistons, already trailing by double digits.

After the start of the second quarter, Wade began to change his offensive method and tried many times to score after breakthroughs.
Battier and Guo had a good feel tonight and hit several key open three-pointers to help the Heat catch up with the point difference.

However, the Pistons' offense also continued in waves. Wade chased Hamilton on the back line, and Billups broke out in consecutive singles. White Chocolate couldn't stop it at all.

At the same time, Rasheed Wallace also has a considerable advantage in post-up and face-to-face singles, and his shooting rate remains at around [-]%.

The 36-year-old Alonzo Mourning was also unable to resist the impact of Ben Wallace and obviously suffered a disadvantage on the rebounds.

In the second half of the second quarter,

During a counterattack fast break by the Pistons, Billups' breakthrough jump shot missed the frame. Ben Wallace pushed past Mourning and jumped up, grabbing the offensive rebound.

After landing, it was passed back to Billups, and then to Prince who was running outside.
At this time, Hamilton's reverse run involved Battier's pursuit, and Prince was in an open position.
Tonight, Prince relied on the containment power of Billups and Hamilton from the outside to find openings one after another to help the Pistons hit three three-pointers. It can be said that the touch is quite hot.

But for this ball, Wade's defense was very timely and interfered with Prince's shot.

"Bang!"

The basketball bounced out of the hoop, but still missed.

"Snapped!"

However, the offensive rebound was once again savagely grabbed by the strong Ben Wallace, who directly faced Mourning for a dunk.

"Boom!"

He grabbed two offensive rebounds on the old Mourning's head and humiliated the opponent with a putback dunk. This naturally made the 36-year-old Mourning feel ashamed.

Ben Wallace was chasing the victory. After dunking, he bumped Mourning's shoulder on purpose and snorted: "Old guy, can you still play at your grade? Get out of here!"

It’s not that Ben disrespected Mourning. In fact, when he first entered the league, he admired Mourning, a tough guy at his peak.

The reason for targeting Mourning in every possible way in tonight's game is actually tactical harassment. Ben knows that Mourning has always had a tough temper and loves to fight. If he can irritate him,

Then the Heat's chances of winning will become even lower.

Of course, if Daben dares to be so confident, he still relies on his fists. After all, fists are afraid of young people. Even if he can't beat Mourning in his peak period, he will definitely beat the 36-year-old Mourning now.

As expected, Mourning was completely irritated by Ben Wallace. He went up to him and gave Ben a hard shove.

"You are nothing, believe it or not, I will punch your kidneys out!"

Ben Wallace quickly pushed back, and the quarrel between the two was quickly separated by his teammates, and the conflict did not break out further.

Ben also knew that being expelled for fighting with Mourning was not a good thing, so he still restrained his actions.

Of course, if it's O'Neal, you can try it.

In the end, the referee gave Mourning and Ben Wallace a technical foul each. This game already lacked two major stars, and we could not expel more players easily.
Otherwise, the ratings of the game will definitely plummet.

In fact, according to statistics from major TV stations, due to Lin Fei and O'Neal's simultaneous truce, the real-time ratings of G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals have begun to decline significantly.

When the conflict came back, the Heat were all excited and went on a 4-0 run to chase points, but were quickly beaten back to their original form by the Pistons with a 5-0 run.

Halftime is over.

Heat (43): (58) Pistons.

Already 15 points behind.

Lin Fei and O'Neal, who were sitting in the front row wearing suits and watching the game, were talking and laughing, as if the team's lagging had nothing to do with them.

Without the focus star Lin Fei, ESPN commentators Mike Breen and Lightning Miller who came to the scene tonight also seemed to be in low spirits and lacked enthusiasm:
"It seems that without Lin and Shaquille, the Heat are indeed worse than the Pistons on both offense and defense!"

“若不是德韦恩上半场19分5助攻2抢断1封盖的高效表现，热火现在可能已经落后了20+，甚至面临崩盘！”

"Inside defense is still the biggest problem for the Heat. It seems that Shaquille, who we think is no longer important, has always played an important role in the Heat's tactical system! His value cannot be measured by data!"

"Of course, the most important thing is that without Lin, the Pistons' defense becomes simpler and easier!"

Many fans on the Chinese side also felt disappointed. They turned off the TV early during the midfield commercial time, and even expected the Heat to lose a big score.

"Without Fei Ge and O'Neal, how can Wade lead the team to win by himself? He is not Jordan!"

"It would be best if the Heat lose to the Pistons by 30 points or more, so that the management realizes how important Fei Ge is!"

"China Five should not broadcast this game, and should directly resist the Heat management's behavior of banning Lin Fei!"

"Without Brother Fei, the excitement and intensity of this game really feel like it has dropped by a notch!"

The game is in progress at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Pat Riley was sitting in his office at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami. From afternoon to evening, the phone in front of his desk never stopped.

NBA President David Stern, the US agent of Porsche Group, the publicity manager of Pepsi-Cola, the leaders of China Basketball Management Headquarters, including Heat owner Mickey Arison,
Even members of the underground Mafia organization called Pat Riley, either explicitly or covertly, all about Lin Fei's truce.

In the face of huge public opinion and pressure, Pat Riley was shocked. He did not expect that just banning Lin Fei from the team for one game would have such a huge impact.

Even at his peak, Michael Jordan only had this much influence in Chicago, right?

At the same time, the assistant also reported the latest situation to Pat Riley. [-]% of the old fans who have American Airlines Arena tickets have put pressure on the Heat management.

Some radical fans even stayed outside American Airlines Arena to protest against the management.

Pat Riley breathed a sigh of relief, he had to admit,
He is now a senior general manager and the former godfather-level coach of the league. Now he is at an absolute disadvantage in the game with Lin Fei, a super star.

Looking back to the Palace Arena of Auburn Hills,
What neither Pistons nor Heat fans expected is that

The game suddenly changed in the second half. The Pistons, who originally had an absolute lead, were led by Wade's explosion.

There was a 16:4 super scoring climax, and the 15-point point difference was chased down to only 3 points.

In addition to Wade's unsolvable breakthrough, the exasperated old Mourning seemed to be dreaming back to the late 90s. On the offensive end and fighting for rebounds, he and Ben Wallace were at odds with each other, and they were inseparable.

"OMG, we seem to have seen Alonzo ten years ago, the boxing champion who fought Larry Johnson at the Knicks' home court!"

"Oh my God, Ben Wallace was whistled for a second technical foul and was ejected directly. This may be a turning point in tonight's game!"

Under Mourning's continuous strong output, Ben was emotionally unstable, received his second technical foul, and was directly ejected.

Obviously, Mourning has made great contributions.

Stan Van Gundy continued the team's offensive and defensive tactics. Without Ben's defense, Wade also played more and more crazily on the offensive end.

Especially at the end of the third quarter, after Wade's continuous breakthrough scores and free throws, his mid-range and outside three-pointers became miraculously accurate.

This is very rare in the eyes of Heat fans.

Throughout the third quarter, Wade made 12 of 9 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, and 6 of 5 free throws. He scored 25 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals in a single quarter, scoring the highest single quarter score in his career.

After the start of the final quarter, without Ben Wallace, the Pistons' defense also had certain problems. Coupled with the decline in shooting percentages of Billups and Hamilton,
Led by Wade and Williams, the Heat once again launched a counterattack climax and directly took the lead.

Immediately afterwards, the Pistons counterattacked wildly, and the game was tense until the last minute. Wade succeeded in a layup against the double-teams of Billups and Rasheed Wallace with 1 seconds before the end.

"Shh!"

Heat (102): (100) Pistons, completing the lead.

Billups missed the final buzzer jumper, and the Heat narrowly defeated the Pistons on the road.
韦德全场狂轰48分8助攻7篮板的超级准三双数据，外加3个抢断和2次封盖。

And with a breakthrough 9 seconds before the end, he successfully helped the Heat reverse the Pistons and lead 3:0 in the Eastern Conference finals.

At the same time, veteran Alonzo Mourning also scored 10 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, showing the spirit of the Heat's team and driving the entire team's counterattack.

For Mourning and Wade, this is a spiritual inheritance of two generations of team spirit.

All the fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills were shocked, while the Pistons' top five walked into the tunnel in embarrassment with their heads lowered.

Lin Fei smiled and stood up, walked onto the court, and hugged Wade. Regarding Wade's super explosion, he even played the best game of his career.
Perhaps hundreds of millions of fans around the world were extremely shocked, but only Lin Fei was not surprised.

We're not surprised by Wade's explosion, and we're not surprised by Mourning's toughness either.

After all, in the 06 Eastern Conference Finals, Wade averaged an incredible 30+ per game and shot nearly 70% from the field, which was also an appalling performance.

The defense of the Pistons' top five cannot limit Wade's breakthrough, just as the zone defense cannot limit the Flash.

Wade, at his peak when fully healthy, can really change the trend of the game on his own.

What's more, in today's parallel world, Wade already has a regular season MVP, and completed knee surgery ahead of schedule, intending to adjust his playing style.
His self-confidence, his talent, his upper limit and his spiritual will will all become higher than in the original world.

"Lin, I actually did it. This is an incredible game!"

Wade's whole body was shaking, and at the same time his body was panting heavily due to exhaustion.

Lin Fei patted Wade on the back and praised:
"Dwayne, I know you can do it!"

Originally considered by fans to be a game lacking in excitement and star quality, in the end with Wade's super explosion and near-win,

This G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals once again became a classic.
在林飞和奥尼尔同时休战的情况下，韦德凭借48分8助攻7篮板3抢断2封盖的完美数据，
A single core led the Heat to reverse the powerful Pistons. In the entire NBA playoff history, this is a personal performance worthy of being recorded in history.

Many Heat fans who turned off the TV in advance and failed to watch the second half of the game, including most Tianchao Lin Fei fans, also felt a little regretful.

"Oh my God, Wade has 48 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds? In the last 9 seconds, he was able to withstand two people's accurate kills. Isn't this too fierce?"

"As expected of the regular season MVP, it doesn't matter if Lin is gone. As long as Wade is here, the Heat will still be the top team in the Eastern Conference in the new season!"

Of course, the intentional anti-fans and trolls will not forget to take advantage of Wade's superb performance in winning a single-core game and take the opportunity to mock Lin Fei again.

"Did you see it? Wade's single-core team can also beat the Pistons. It seems that Lin Fei's role in the Heat is not as powerful as imagined!"

"Wade has sacrificed too much in the playoffs this season. As long as he finds his offensive rhythm, he will still be one of the best defenders in the league!"

After Wade’s outburst in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals and his one-game suspension from the management team,

"Magic Calculator" Pat Riley finally came to his senses and decided to completely let go of his obsession with Lin Fei and fully support the team's pursuit of the second championship in team history.

However, just when Stan Van Gundy's coaching staff notified Lin Fei to return to the team and actively prepare for G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals two days later,
Lin Fei, however, played hard to get, using the excuse of an ankle sprain and the team's 3:0 lead to apply for a truce in the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals to prepare for the finals in advance.

This put the Heat management and coaching staff in a dilemma. Although Lin Fei's ankle sprain was fake, the team couldn't be embarrassed and forced Lin Fei to be examined.
After all, Lin Fei was not injured before, and the management insisted on letting him take advantage of the injury to rest.

Now Lin Fei said that he sprained his ankle and wanted to take another game off. It is really unreasonable that the team does not agree.

Pat Riley guessed that Lin Fei intended to join his own army, but for the sake of team unity, he chose to agree to Lin Fei's request for another truce in G4.

The news that Lin Fei once again took a truce from G4 aroused strong doubts from fans and various departments, and the scolding of the Heat management and Pat Riley became even louder.

Pat Riley was already suffering beyond words at this time, and you really couldn’t blame him this time!
Wade was even more angry and his cheeks bulged twice more. Lin Fei and O'Neal were relieved, but he almost vomited blood during the game...

In the next G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pistons, who were fighting against the odds, did not give Wade, who led the team with one core, any chance. The Pistons' five tigers learned their shame and acted bravely, and the team led the game.

In the end, they won a big victory 98:76, changing the series score to 1:3, avoiding being swept.

Although he lost by more than 20 points, Wade still scored 4 points and 31 assists in G7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, continuously performing as a super defender.

After these two games without Lin Fei and O'Neal, the Heat management and coaching staff also saw more clearly how Wade opened up.

Compared with point guards, Wade's offensive talent is obviously stronger than his organizational talent. He may be able to exert his greatest value as a shooting guard.

For the new season without Lin Fei, Pat Riley's management has begun planning in advance.

Returning to G5 of the Eastern Conference Finals at home, Pat Riley, who had been scolded by fans for several days, finally breathed a sigh of relief because Lin Fei and O'Neal both returned.

Under the leadership of the Big Three, the Heat regained their invincible dominance in the 05 playoffs at home, successfully defeating the Pistons 115:98 and eliminating their opponents with a score of 4:1.

Successfully reached the NBA Finals in the 05-06 season.

After Lin Fei returned from a two-game truce, his condition improved instead of losing. He once again scored a double-double of 35 points and 11 assists.
At the same time, he also sent 5 steals and 2 blocks on the defensive end. Hamilton, who defended the whole game, only scored 6 points.

韦德也有30分5助攻7篮板的表现，奥尼尔19分15篮板3封盖，单场15个篮板也是赛季新高。

This can be said to be the most flawless game the Big Three have played together in the new season.

At the Eastern Conference Championship Award Ceremony, Lin Fei was pushed to the center by Wade and O'Neal, and was the first to win the Eastern Conference Championship trophy from the league's vice president.

If there is an MVP to be selected in this Eastern Conference finals, both Lin Fei and Wade have a great chance.

Although Lin Fei only played 3 games, his statistics in the three games were top-notch triple-doubles, and he was almost perfect in scoring, organization and defense.

The point is that in these three games with Lin Fei, the Heat won big victories against the Pistons.

On the other hand, Wade has played in 5 games, and naturally ranks first in the team in total points scored in a single round of the series, not to mention his incredible performance in G3.

Therefore, if there is an MVP to be selected in this Eastern Conference Finals, there will also be huge differences and opinions on who Lin Fei and Wade are.

Chinese fans are also lucky that this is not the finals, otherwise if Lin Fei does not have an absolute advantage, the FMVP is likely to be given to Wade again.

At the Eastern Conference championship award ceremony, ESPN beauty reporter Erin Andrews also interviewed Lin Fei and asked her old friend with a smile what he thought at this time:

"Lin, this is the third consecutive year that you have stood on the podium of the division championship, and it is also the third consecutive year that you have reached the finals with the team. Can you tell us how you feel now?"

Lin Fei faced the microphone with a smile, his confidence and chic temperament always infecting every fan:
"It's the NBA Finals again. I'm no longer unfamiliar with this stage!"

"Championship, here we come!"

Pat Riley, who was also standing on the podium, also smiled and applauded Lin Fei. In the two seasons of cooperation between the Heat and Lin Fei, there was only the last step left to achieve the most perfect result.

Pat Riley is no longer young, and he should be content with that.

As for Lin Fei, they still have to retain the most basic friendship between them.

As the saying goes, soldiers in an iron-clad camp cannot see you when you raise your head but not when you look down.

In the future, Pat Riley may also serve as the general manager of another team, and there may be a second chance to cooperate with Lin Fei.

As the Heat eliminated the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive year, the Detroit Pistons' five-tiger lineup finally faced its final disintegration.

Especially Hamilton, who faced off against Lin Fei in the series. In the three games with Lin Fei playing, Hamilton averaged only 7 points per game and shot less than 26% from the field.

Pistons general manager Joe Dumars has made plans to put Hamilton on the shelf.

Netizens in Detroit reported on the online media that they accidentally discovered that Pistons player Hamilton secretly appeared at a local psychiatrist's clinic...

On the fourth day after the Eastern Conference Finals, the Western Conference Finals also came to an end.

Due to Artest's one-game suspension, the Timberwolves' strength declined. In the end, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Timberwolves in an away game, eliminating their opponents with a score of 4:2 and successfully advancing to the finals.

New MVP Dirk Nowitzki lifted the Western Conference Championship trophy at the Target Center Arena with pure joy on his face. This was the first time in his career that King Nowitzki has reached the NBA Finals.

Although this round of the Cow-Wolf battle is not as classic as the Cow-Horse battle in the semifinals, the duel between Nowitzki and Garnett still left many classic moments.

Duncan, Nowitzki and Garnett are also undoubtedly the current power forward positions in the league, forming a three-legged situation.

With the emergence of the Eastern and Western champions, the schedule of the finals has also been officially determined.
The pre-sale of tickets for the finals at the two American Airlines Arena is booming, and the high prices cannot affect the enthusiasm of the fans.

Before the finals started, NBA headquarters also voted and finally passed a resolution, which is the famous "Linwei Clause."

The rules of the "Lin-Wei Clause" are based on the outstanding performance of Lin Fei and Wade, two new stars in the league, and jointly developed a contract reward mechanism to encourage NBA rookies.

The specific details of this clause are:

A player in the NBA rookie contract period, as long as he can win a regular season MVP, or be selected as an All-Star starter and the best team of the season (regardless of which team) at least twice during the several seasons during the contract period,
Then he will have the opportunity to sign the second contract of his career and get a maximum salary contract that accounts for 30% of the team's salary cap (a 5% increase from the old contract).

The most direct beneficiaries of this clause are Lin Fei, Wade, ahem, and LeBron James...
