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

Chapter 187 [187] Flying over Ginobili, Lin Wei connects to recreate the classic!

In the opening minutes, Lin Fei mainly attacked with the ball, and suddenly displayed his elusive ability to move without the ball, making it difficult for Josh Howard's pursuit to figure out the routine.

Wade's pass was also very accurate. Lin Fei, who was rushing to the left outside line, turned over to catch the ball. He didn't even look at the basket. He leaped up and shot another one completely relying on muscle memory.

"Shh!"

and also.

The third.

Josh Howard shook his head and sighed, helpless.

Lin Fei also discovered some defensive flaws in Josh Howard through this off-ball three-pointer.

Although he has the perfect height and wingspan of a forward defensive player, his experience and skills are also perfect, and he is already a defensive elite at the threshold level of the best defensive team.

But after all, Josh Howard is a small forward with a height of over 2 meters. There is a clear gap between him and himself in terms of absolute speed and instantaneous speed.

If the Mavericks insist on letting Josh Howard chase them, playing without the ball so much may make the Heat's offensive efficiency even higher.

Stan Van Gundy's coaching staff on the sidelines has naturally studied this situation long ago. The sudden tactical change just now was the suggestion of assistant coach Spoelstra.

Looking back, the Mavericks' offense is still a high-post pick-and-roll between Jason Terry and Nowitzki.

King Notre Dame blocked Wade's defense very well. Terry, who was holding the ball, moved flexibly. Facing the misplaced opponent, he accelerated into the penalty area and made some small throws as a step forward.

"Shh!"

Avery Johnson's offensive tactics are very clear, which is to focus on this defensive weakness.

In the Mavericks' subsequent attack, Josh Howard posted up Battier and hit a mid-range jumper.

"Shh!"

Defensively, Battier can barely compare with the current Josh Howard, but in terms of offensive technical comprehensiveness and experience, Battier is obviously inferior to Josh Howard.

This season, Battier averaged only 8.2 points and 4.7 rebounds per game with the Heat. His main scoring methods were three-pointers from the corners and layups on fast breaks.

It can be said that Battier is a very standard 3D player, with only two strengths: off-ball three-pointers and defense.

Josh Howard not only has this distinctive 3D attribute, but his post-up singles and face-to-face breakthroughs are also very lethal. He is also called the "Three Axes" in the Mavericks.

Averaged 15.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, almost twice as many points as Battier.

The two teams were back and forth, and the Heat came to the offensive end. Wade broke through Jason Terry with the ball and hit the backboard of the half basket in the penalty area.

"Shh!"

Throughout the first quarter, both teams showed their own characteristics. The offense was very efficient, but the defense obviously did not reach the level of the finals.

The Mavericks replaced Devin Harris and Manu Ginobili at the end of the first quarter, and they also had more offensive methods, attacking the basket many times to cause damage.

On the Heat's side, Wade was replaced early, and Mourning Sr. and Jason Williams came on, also maintaining the energy on the court.

Lin Fei suddenly had a small explosion in the last 30 seconds of the first quarter. He first ran continuously on the offensive end and then caught the ball. He met Josh Howard near 15 degrees on the left side and hit a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Then he chased and blocked Devin Harris's breakthrough layup on the defensive end, and caused Ginobili's blocking foul in the counterattack fast break.

The number of fouls had reached, and Lin Fei, who stepped to the free throw line, made both free throws.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Ginobili missed a three-pointer at the buzzer and the first quarter was over.

Driven by Lin Fei's five consecutive points at the end of the quarter, the Heat also temporarily held a double-digit advantage.

Heat (36): (26) Mavericks.

Lin Fei played the full 12 minutes of the first quarter, making 5 of 4 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 17 points, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. At the same time, Daniels was held scoreless on the defensive end.
Ginobili, who played at the end of the quarter, only scored two points in one fast break for the Mavericks.

韦德8分3篮板1抢断，奥尼尔也有4分5篮板进账，三巨头在总决赛到来之后都迅速打出了各自的风采。

But there is no doubt that Lin Fei is now the undisputed number one offensive core of the Heat.

Whether it is his scoring efficiency or organizational ability, he is already completely ahead of Wade and O'Neal.

For the Mavericks, Nowitzki scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter, and was also the team's biggest contributor.

Terry and Howard also have good touch and scoring performance.

"Lin Fei scored 17 points efficiently in the first quarter. If this state continues tonight, 40+ points seems to be a certainty. Maybe there will be a chance to score 50+ points!"

"You have to remember that this is the NBA Finals. There are only five players who can score 50+ points in a single game in the Finals!"

Yang Yi, who was commentating in the stands, was also flipping through the documents in his hand at this time, and quickly spoke to the fans:

"These five players are all famous stars, namely: Bob Pettit's 50 points, Jerry West's 53 points, Rick Barry's 55 points, Michael Jordan's 55 points, and Elgin Baylor’s 61 points!”

"Bob Pettit was the first player in NBA history to score 50 points in the Finals. Jerry West's 53 points that year also became the NBA's first Finals MVP and the most important player to date. The only FMVP of the losing side so far!"

"As strong as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, and Tim Duncan, he has never scored 50+ points in a single game in the finals!"

"If Lin Fei can really accomplish this feat tonight, then he will undoubtedly be as famous as the superstars in history!"

After the start of the second quarter, Lin Fei and O'Neal temporarily rested off the court, while Wade led the Heat to play.

The Mavericks began to defend the penalty area and launched continuous defensive counterattacks. Ginobili and Devin Harris scored 5 points together, and substitute center Diop also pushed Mourning under the basket and succeeded in a tip-in dunk.

"Boom!"

At the same time, the Mavericks' offense was always targeted. Ginobili deliberately caused a foul on the opponent's beater during a misplaced single.

Without the internal and external restraints of Lin Fei and O'Neal, Wade's breakthrough was strictly prevented at all levels, but he lost his due aggressiveness.

After a 9:4 win, the Mavericks seized the opportunity and quickly brought the point difference back to 5 points.

Stan Van Gundy also quickly replaced Lin Fei and O'Neal during the dead ball time.

For the Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki and Josh Howard also followed suit.

As soon as Lin Fei came on, the Heat's offense was immediately activated. With a three-pointer and a pass assist, the Heat quickly responded to the Mavericks with a 5:2 wave.

With O'Neal guarding the basket, Diop, who weighs 300 pounds, seems to be half a circle smaller than the Shark.

Diop has made a great contribution to the Mavericks inside this season, not losing to Dampier.
In the Western Conference finals and semifinals, with his huge size and tonnage, Diop became the defensive shield next to Nowitzki, which is of great tactical significance.

Lin Fei's defense against Ginobili was airtight, making it difficult for Yaodao to catch the ball in positional warfare offense.

Terry's three-point shot through a screen missed the frame. This time the rebound was grabbed by Josh Howard and quickly passed back to Nowitzki at the top of the key.

Nowitzki pretended to take the shot, then shook the opponent and committed another foul.

"Beep!"

The half has not yet ended, and this is probably the third foul I have received tonight.

He let out a long sigh and threw his arms angrily.

In desperation, Stan Van Gundy could only let the old Mourning play again and replace him.

Troy Murphy's truce due to injury has made the Heat's inside rotation stretched. At this time, many Heat fans at the scene have begun to miss Haslem, who was traded away.

Although Murphy has better touch and offensive status than Haslem, the endurance of his body is really not complimentable.

The Mavericks are obviously targeting this point tonight, using this to open up the Heat's weak inside line and focus on attacking.Naturally, I want to better guard Nowitzki and try to control fouls, but they are not of the same magnitude, so I can only admit the gap.

The Mavericks served from the sideline and attacked again. Nowitzki faced off against the old Mourning. With the advantage of his height and wingspan, he turned over and made a jump shot independently.

"Shh!"

Mourning had no choice but to interfere with Nowitzki's move and pray that the opponent's shot would miss.

At the same time, it affects the other party's mentality through trash talk.

"Dirk, you will always be a softie. If it had been ten years earlier, I would have definitely hit you and ended the season!"

Nowitzki had a bright smile on his face, and was not affected by Mourning's trash talk when he returned to defense:

"Alonzo, you are really old!"

"Nowitzki is still very good. Before the half was finished, he had already scored 17 points, and his shooting percentage was 9 of 6, which is very efficient!"

"After winning the MVP in the regular season and the tiebreaker with the Spurs in the playoffs, Dirk has truly grown into a superstar!"

"It seems that the Heat's defense still has quite a problem. Defending Dirk like this will only make his hand feel hotter and hotter!"

The Heat attack.

Lin Fei held the ball against Josh Howard again, signaling to his teammates to open up space, and he was going to play alone again.

Too complex tactical coordination may not be a good thing. The finals are always a stage for superstars. Only by truly defeating his opponent can Lin Fei make changes to the Mavericks' defense.
Since Mavericks likes to take turns playing singles so much, Lin Fei will retaliate in the same way.

"Whoosh!"

Continuously dribbling the ball horizontally, Lin Fei constantly adjusted his rhythm. Suddenly he changed his hands at the hip and then jumped backwards. After his feet landed at the same time, he quickly took a big step back.

Facing the swooping Josh Howard, he jumped slightly backward and shot another one.

This is a very standard facial shot. The basketball is shot like lightning, flying past the defender's fingertips and turning into a meteor and falling straight into the net.

"Shh!"

sixth.

Josh Howard's defense this time inevitably violated Lin Fei's shooting cylinder. The referee's whistle sounded and he directly gave 3+1.

"Josh, you can't guard against me!"

"Shh!"

Yun Danfeng walked to the free throw line lightly, Lin Fei made another free throw, and scored 4 points successfully.

"OMG, 24 points. It's only been more than half of the second quarter, and Lin has already scored 24 points, which is even better than Dirk Nowitzki in terms of efficiency!"

"Josh Howard also received his third foul tonight. The task of guarding Lin is really too difficult!"

"Avery Johnson doesn't seem to have any intention of replacing Josh Howard. It seems like he is going all out!"

Seeing that the Mavericks did not replace Josh Howard, who committed three fouls, and also did not change their defensive strategy,
Lin Fei continued to challenge his opponent at the top of the arc during the Heat's subsequent attack.

Josh Howard had three fouls, so he had some concerns about his defense. Lin Fei seized the opportunity and shot another lightning shot.

"Shh!"

and also.

the seventh.

Josh Howard hit two three-pointers in consecutive singles. Lin Fei also pumped his fist excitedly and spread his hands toward Avery Johnson in front of the Mavericks bench on the sidelines.

There's no way, it's just so accurate!
Driven by Lin Fei's two three-pointers, the Heat once again led the Mavericks by double digits.

Terry, who had a bad temper, was obviously a little impatient. After coming to the offensive end, he held the ball in the pick-and-roll, and immediately responded with a three-pointer from the outside using the space.

"Bang!"

The ball still failed, but the long rebound was grabbed by the Mavericks again this time. Ginobili took advantage of the screen and suddenly ran back, throwing away Lin Fei and stabbing straight to the basket.

Nowitzki, who had the ball in the high post, hit the ground to support him. While delaying Lin Fei's pursuit, he quickly gave the ball to Ginobili.

This combination is quite smooth, and Ginobili and Duncan used it frequently during their time with the Spurs.

At this time, Diop had blocked O'Neal on the left side of the penalty area. Ginobili quickly rushed in with the ball. Seeing that the opportunity was not to be missed, he wanted to vent his frustration at being locked up by Lin Fei.
So after stepping into the penalty area with a diagonal stab, he suddenly gathered strength and flew up, grabbed the ball with one hand, raised it above his head, and smashed it towards the basket in front of him.

However, just as Ginobili dunked, Lin Fei, who was bypassing Nowitzki on this side, quickly followed up, then flew up and swooped up from the left, his long arms as if The sword is unsheathed.

"Snapped!"

Lin Fei gave Ginobili a flying hat, and all the strength in his body was concentrated on his right palm.
You must know that although Lin Fei is not too strong now, his bench press strength has exceeded 150 kilograms. This data has far exceeded Ginobili, and is even stronger than many small forwards.

The moment Lin Fei slapped the basketball hard with his big hand, Ginobili only felt a burst of pain in his wrist. He stayed in the air for less than 0.5 seconds.
The whole person was knocked out with the ball.

"Boom!"

"boom!"

Ginobili landed on his back, hitting the floor on the right side of the court hard, and the basketball in his hand flew out.

Lin Fei's powerful and heavy flight to catch up with Big Hat was a complete visual shock.
American Airlines Arena also erupted in cheers and screams at this moment.

The referee put the whistle to his mouth, but did not blow it in the end, assuming that Lin Fei was a good shot that exploded.

The exciting competition on the court continues moment by moment...

Wade, who has quick eyes and quick hands, rushed up from the right side, picked up the basketball that fell from Ginobili, and quickly turned over and got off.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Lin Fei quickly followed up in the middle to respond, and with a big change of direction while traveling without the ball, he completely shook off the blocking Nowitzki.

The moment he received Wade's cross, Josh Howard on the right also quickly pursued him.

Lin Fei dribbled the ball behind his back and changed direction to the right. While shaking Howard's center of gravity, he suddenly made another attack to the left.

"Whoosh!"

This sharp double change of direction directly ended the ankle of Josh Howard, who was panicking and unable to stand still when returning to defense, and fell to the ground with a "thud".

After getting rid of Josh Howard, Li Fei kept moving. After a sudden step, Jason Terry in the middle also quickly caught up to block it.

At this time, Wade, who had already rushed into the three-point line on the left, was completely unguarded. Lin Fei's eyes flashed, and while avoiding Jason Terry's pressing, he made a precise pass from behind while traveling.

"Whoosh!"

Wade, who entered the penalty area from the left, received Lin Fei's pass and leaped up. After fully taking off, he made a hand-changing movement under his crotch, holding the ball with his left hand and slamming it towards the basket.

"Boom!"

This was a wonderful counterattack fast break, and the entire American Airlines Arena burst into overwhelming cheers.

Lin Fei overturned Ginobili with a big block on the defensive end, knocked down Josh Howard in the counterattack fast break, and finally gave Wade a wonderful back pass, which was simply wonderful.

Wade took off from the free throw line and dunked with a change of hands, which was also explosive and made the fans think of the Flash in the 05 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

Mavericks coach Avery Johnson watched the Heat play with championship style. The team could not withstand it and had to call a long timeout again.

"OMG, this is so handsome, Lin Wei is connected, he is invincible!"

"This is how our defending champions should play. Lin unexpectedly turned over Ginobili and dribbled down Josh Howard. This is really a perfect fast break!"
