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

Chapter 189 [189] King Nuo Tian challenged Lin Fei in a one-on-one fight and was completely unable to defend himself!

The Mavericks attacked first, and Avery Johnson arranged an air-cutting tactic for the team, but under the Heat's deliberate contraction of defense, this tactic failed to create a chance.

Jason Terry on the outside could only give the ball to Nowitzki again, and Nowitzki made a jump shot.

Maybe it was because he was too tired on the offensive end in the third quarter. Nowitzki's shot was obviously less powerful this time, and the basketball hit the front edge of the basket and popped out.

"Bang!"

Battier actively fought for the defensive rebound under the basket and quickly handed it to Lin Fei to organize the fast break.

"Whoosh!"

After Lin Fei got the ball, he took advantage of the situation and got rid of Ginobili, accelerated to the right and dribbled down quickly.

Jason Terry quickly stepped up to defend, and Lin Fei made a pass without looking at anyone. The basketball seemed to be swollen and quickly flew to the hands of Wade who was coming down the right.

After Wade got the ball, he changed direction with a European step and quickly rushed into the penalty area, which was full of lethality.

Josh Howard could only turn his attention from Lin Fei to Wade, striding to catch up, ready to give Wade a big shot from behind at any time.

But in this case, it is very difficult to chase the shot of Wade, whose physical fitness is exploding. Josh Howard has no confidence at all.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Wade rushed into the penalty area with the ball, Lin Fei on the right also accelerated through the gap between Ginobili and Jason Terry.
With the help of a cross cover with Battier, who was following up, he quickly flew towards the left at a 0-degree angle.

This counter run in the fast break came too suddenly, leaving both Ginobili and Terry behind.

At the same time, Jason Williams, who followed up in the middle, was also in a wide space, attracting the Mavericks' defensive attention.

From the corner of his eye, Wade caught sight of Lin Fei rushing into the 0-degree angle on the left side. With a flick of his wrist, he accurately passed the ball over.

Lin Fei caught the ball in a position he was very familiar with. Without any hesitation at all, he jumped up directly without even glancing at the basket, and took a lightning shot to shoot.

After all, the rhythm of Terry and Ginobili's simultaneous attacks was half a beat too slow. The two also deliberately controlled their movements in the air, not daring to incur any more fouls on Lin Fei.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of the basketball hitting the net was like the sound of nature. This was Lin Fei's ninth three-pointer tonight.

The Mavericks players who returned to defense shook their heads helplessly, angry, and finally got into chaos.

The Mavericks attacked in a positional battle. Nowitzki suddenly went down after the pick-and-roll, caught the ball and picked up the basket again.

"Shh!"

Nowitzki's hair was flying when he returned to defense, and he wiped the sweat from his face with his jersey. He was calm but with a strong murderous aura.

The Heat attacked, Wade held the ball on the right, and Lin Fei continued his sharp off-ball movement.

Continuously working with Battier and roughly covering the perimeter,
Lin Fei seemed to have saved all his strength in the last moment of the third quarter. His sharp reverse run made it difficult for Josh Howard, who had a high center of gravity, to catch up.

"Whoosh!"

Josh Howard, whose steps were a bit messy, lost control of his emotions after being thrown away by Lin Fei during a counter run from the left outside line. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Fei's arm.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and Lin Fei almost lost his balance and fell to the ground while running at high speed.

This ball was whistled for a defensive pulling foul on Josh Howard. The Mavericks had already committed 5 fouls in the third quarter, sending Lin Fei directly to the free throw line.

At the same time, this is already the fifth foul that Josh Howard has received tonight.

Avery Johnson, who was standing on the sidelines, finally didn't dare to gamble anymore and quickly replaced Josh Howard with Devin Harris.

Now the Mavericks are nearly 20 points behind. If they just defend the Heat and cannot provide fierce firepower on the offensive end, the final reversal is still unrealistic.

Therefore, the team can only increase the rhythm and take a gamble on the offensive end.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Lin Fei, who walked to the free throw line, made two free throws steadily. His free throw shooting rate tonight was still 100%.

After Devin Harris came on the court, the Mavericks' offensive flexibility was indeed displayed. Wade and Lin Fei could only focus on two defenders.

However, the back three of Terry, Ginobili and Harris frequently made cross moves without the ball, completely disrupting the Heat's defensive formation.

"Whoosh!"

Harris found an opportunity to cut to the basket, and scored the ball again with a small underhand throw.

"Shh!"

But back on the defensive end, the Mavericks' weaknesses were also exposed.

Lin Fei holds the ball on the outside. Without Josh Howard, Ginobili can only be the main defender.

Compared with the offense, Ginobili's defense can only be considered average. Lin Fei faced the three-threat threat in the frame and took a test step. Ginobili's body was completely close to him, and he obviously made sudden passes but not shots.

Holding the ball behind his back, Lin Fei hit him with his back, causing Ginobili to stagger back two steps.

Devin Harris on the wing quickly stepped up to defend, completely leaving Jason Williams empty.

Lin Fei, however, had no intention of passing the ball. He just pretended to pass the ball, followed by a sudden left turn, followed by a backward jump step with his hips changing hands.

Then he took a big step back and instantly opened up the distance from Devin Harris and Ginobili.

To hit the ball directly, you have to take off and shoot.

Harris and Ginobili quickly rushed to defend and jumped into the air almost at the same time. They were completely deceived by Lin Fei's fake shot.

"Whoosh!"

It turned out that Lin Fei was a lifelike worshiper. While shaking two defenders, he quickly dribbled in from one side and passed the two men, stopping at the three-point line at the top of the arc.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Nowitzki rushing out of the penalty area in a hurry, Lin Fei's eyes were cold, he leaped up, bent his bow and set an arrow, and without further ado, shot another shot.

"Shh!"

And hit.

10th.

The moment the basketball hit the net, a loud "bang" sound came from behind Lin Fei.

After landing, I looked back and saw that Devin Harris and Ginobili bumped into each other while defending Lin Fei. The two lost their balance at the same time and both fell to the ground.

Looking down at the two Mavericks defenders who were lying on the ground in a state of confusion, Lin Fei also shrank his neck and spread his hands, raising his eyebrows and saying:

"It seems that the tacit understanding between you two is not enough. Let's go back and train hard!"

Harris and Ginobili quickly jumped up from the ground, but they couldn't hide the embarrassed looks on their faces.

The two of them were double-teamed and couldn't guard each other. Not only did the other side make a three-pointer, but they were both knocked to the ground. This was really a shame and a big insult.

After experiencing the embarrassing experience of being completely blown away in the finals last season, Ginobili learned his shame and acted bravely. He originally thought that he had grown a lot now compared to last season.

But unexpectedly, Lin Fei's growth was obviously faster and bigger than his own.

The American Airlines Arena burst into cheers, and the fans shouted Lin Fei's name and MVP.

As Lin Fei hit his 10th three-pointer tonight, the point difference was quickly opened to 22 points.

"I already said that Lin was holding back his big move, and he hit a three-pointer after continuously avoiding two double-teams. This combination of running and shooting ability is completely top-notch in history!"

"It's really pleasing to watch Lin's dribbling. Although he is 197cm tall, his ability to combine grace with the ball is as good as that of point guards who are over 180cm tall!"

Heat (89): (67) Mavericks.

There were only the last 3 seconds left in the third quarter. Terry tried to grab a shot near the midline, and the basketball hit the steel backboard hard.

The red light came on and the three quarters were over.

With Lin Fei's efficient performance of scoring 2 points in the last 8 minutes of the third quarter, the Heat entered the final quarter with a huge 22-point advantage.

As long as no big mistakes are made in the final quarter, the G1 victory tonight is basically in hand.

With 11 points scored in the third quarter, after three quarters, Lin Fei had efficiently scored 10 points with 11 three-pointers and 41 free throws, plus 10 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Such explosive statistics are very rare in the entire history of the NBA.

At the same time, Lin Fei has taken 13 shots in the third quarter tonight, which is also the most on the team. Wade only took 12 shots.

The team's No. [-] shot right and No. [-] ball possession rate also represent a significant improvement in Lin Fei's tactical status.
Although the nominal boss of the Heat is always the up-and-coming Wade, Lin Fei's tactical position on both ends of the offense and defense has become the first core of the Heat in a practical sense.

Michael Jordan, sitting in the front row, was also shocked by Lin Fei's performance tonight.

This is just Lin Fei in his third year. If Lin Fei remains healthy throughout his career, he may not be able to keep his No. 1 spot in history.

It's just that Jordan never imagined that after he retired, the player who truly threatened his No. [-] position in league history would be a yellow man from the East.

Jordan himself went to China for the first time in 2004 after retiring to promote Nike and his AJ shoes.

Although that trip to China changed Jordan's one-sided understanding of the country, he felt that China was far more powerful and prosperous than what the mainstream media in the United States had reported.

But even so, Jordan's understanding of the Chinese people is still very limited, and the "Sick Man of Asia" brand has always existed in the consciousness of Westerners.

So now Lin Fei's crazy rise makes Jordan feel incredible.

Jordan even felt that there might be a certain amount of black blood flowing in Lin Fei's body.Ding Shizhong, chairman of Anta Group, who was in the luxury box on the roof of the stadium, was even more moved by witnessing Lin Fei's wonderful performance in the finals.

It seems that Anta's "Lin Fei 4th Generation" signature basketball shoes, which are officially launched tonight, are destined to sell a new sales myth.

After the final quarter,
Stan Van Gundy was confident and asked Lin Fei and Wade, who had played for three quarters, to rest on the sidelines temporarily, while O'Neal and Jason Williams played as substitutes on the court.

The Mavericks also seized this opportunity. Ginobili and Devin Harris, two great substitutes, both broke out and scored 3 points together in less than 8 minutes.
Led the Mavericks to a 10:3 spurt.

Heat (92): (77) Mavericks, the point difference was quickly caught up to 15 points.

After all, it was the finals. Stan Van Gundy didn't dare to take advantage of the situation, so he quickly called a long timeout and replaced Wade first to save the game.

The Mavericks also quickly sent Nowitzki and Terry. Tonight, Nowitzki only rested for 2 minutes in the first three quarters, and less than 3 minutes in the final quarter.

With the big score passive, the team can only rely on King Nuo as the star.

前三节打下来，诺维斯基个人已经轰下33分8篮板3助攻1抢断1封盖，20投13中，个人表现无可挑剔。

The Heat fans at the scene protested and questioned why Stan Van Gundy didn't rush to Lin Fei. They just wanted to see Lin Fei get 50+ tonight.

"Lin has already scored 41 points. What on earth is this guy Stan Van Gundy thinking? If he doesn't play Lin again, it will be even more inappropriate to play after the game ends!"

"In G3 of last year's finals, Lin scored 35 points in the first half, but only scored 11 points in the second half and only 46 points in the game. This must not happen again tonight!"

"50+ points in a single game in the finals is a top record. We must ensure Lin's playing time in the final quarter, even if there is suspicion of scoring points, don't miss it!"

On the court, after returning from the timeout, Wade quickly caused damage with his breakthrough, and went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

But the Mavericks' offensive rhythm was also very fast. Jason Terry broke through and passed the ball to the running Ginobili, assisting the latter's three-pointer.

"Shh!"

O'Neal was cut off and went to the free throw line and made 2 of 1 free throws.

The Mavericks turned around and gave the ball to Nowitzki, and he still had a back-up jump shot.

"Shh!"

The two teams were back and forth, and the Mavericks relied on their fast-paced offensive transitions to slowly eat away at the point difference.

The game reached the final 6 minutes, as Nowitzki stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws.

The Mavericks also chased the point difference back to only 10 points.

As for this team, they had no choice but to receive their sixth foul tonight and were ejected by the referee.

Walking into the tunnel, I felt very helpless. I faced Nowitzki for most of the night and was completely helpless. I was completely overwhelmed on both offense and defense.

He only scored 7 points and 4 rebounds, but committed 3 turnovers and 6 fouls.

The general defensive disadvantage is an important factor in Nowitzki's top performance.

Stan Van Gundy's Heat coaching staff also has serious differences on whether to double-team Nowitzki and how to double-team.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who was sitting in the first row on the sidelines, also pumped his fist and roared excitedly. Nowitzki has scored a huge double-double with 39 points and 10 rebounds.
It can be said that his performance is on par with Lin Fei's.

But who can win the final game, the gorgeous data can really be given meaning.

Stan Van Gundy called another long timeout and finally replaced Lin Fei.

At the last moment of the game, the Heat's lineup was:

Jason Williams, Dwayne Wade, Lin Fei, Shane Battier, Shaquille O'Neal.

The Heat continued to play a fast-paced offensive and defensive strategy with three guards at the last moment, and were basically sent off. Mourning was unable to do what he wanted, so he could only leave O'Neal on the court.

After all, O'Neal is one of the Heat's Big Three, and his position is there. Even if the Heat team has a more suitable choice, it is impossible not to let O'Neal play at the last moment.

The Heat fans at the scene watched Lin Fei go into battle again, and they all cheered "50 points in the finals and MVP" with a roar.

Seeing that the Heat replaced Lin Fei, the Mavericks naturally quickly replaced Josh Howard.

Although Howard had already committed five fouls, he could only make a desperate move at the last moment and use up the last bullet.

Lin Fei came up to attack with the ball, read his teammates' movements, faced Josh Howard, and made a sudden high-profile ball. O'Neal under the basket successfully caught the ball against Dampier.
But the Shark's small hook was interfered by Nowitzki who quickly came up to defend and failed to hit the basket.

"Bang!"

However, the rebound was taken out by O'Neal's second takeoff. Wade, who quickly followed up, controlled the ball, turned over and threw it hard beyond the three-point line at the top of the key.

Wade's pass was a little too powerful. Lin Fei quickly retreated to the LOGO area, took off and got the basketball, avoiding a return violation.

Seeing Josh Howard still pressing forward relentlessly, Lin Fei did not relax at all even if he was near the midfield.

After Lin Fei landed, he made a sudden change of direction, dribbling the ball with Josh Howard lowering his center of gravity, and accelerated away from the latter.

"Whoosh!"

Facing Ginobili who quickly came up to defend, Lin Fei stopped suddenly, took a step laterally to get rid of his opponent, and decisively jumped up to shoot another shot 9 meters away from the basket.

"Shh!"

No. 11.

Lin Fei hit another three-pointer less than 20 seconds after coming up, and his score tonight quickly reached 44 points.

The scene was filled with cheers and the Heat fans were extremely excited.

The entire Heat team cheered up. Lin Fei, who returned to the defensive end, came up out of position to defend Nowitzki.

Although there is a big difference in height and tonnage, Lin Fei can still interfere with Nowitzki's turnaround jumper with his experience and good core strength.

"Boom!"

Nowitzki tried to back-butt Lin Fei twice. Lin Fei tried his best, but was still knocked away by Nowitzki.

Although Lin Fei's bench press strength has greatly improved now, he is still a defender after all. It is still very difficult to guard Nowitzki at power forward.

After all, the two are not in the same weight class at all.

Ginobili on the right wing, without Lin Fei's guard, had a clear advantage against Williams in a misplaced position, so he hurriedly asked Nowitzki for the ball for a single.
But Nowitzki didn't intend to give the ball to Ginobili. He believed that he had to misplace and beat Lin Fei, so as to really boost the morale of the Mavericks' comeback.

Moreover, Nowitzki is a power forward, and Lin Fei, a shooting guard, is a big mismatch. If he avoids this and does not fight, he will definitely be complained by fans and the media.

"Boom!"

It was another sideways collision with his back dribbling. Nowitzki came to a comfortable position. After turning over and taking a feint, he quickly turned in the opposite direction and jumped backwards.
Facing Lin Fei, he used his trump card, and the golden rooster shot another one independently.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei's defensive nerves were tense, he gritted his teeth to resist King Nuo Tian's physical confrontation, and was always observing every subtle body movement of the opponent.

At the moment Nowitzki turned over and jumped up, Lin Fei also accurately predicted, charged up his ankles, and then suddenly rose up. His body seemed like a long arrow shot out, and his slender arms suddenly shot down.

Lin Fei's defense this time can be said to be the best. He tried his best in terms of jumping height and speed.

But Nowitzki's golden rooster independence is too strong. With his height of 2.13 meters, his backward range, and his shooting arc that is obviously increased to avoid defense,
It all makes even the most elite defenders despair.

In fact, throughout Nowitzki's career, being able to block his Golden Rooster independent jump shot in a front-on single defense situation was something that almost no one could do.

And those situations where Nowitzki's jump shot is blocked are mostly due to the help of defensive players.

The basketball flew less than 3 centimeters past Lin Fei's fingertips. For a moment, Lin Fei felt that his fingertips seemed to be touching the surface of the basketball.

Nowitzki's pupils were fixed on the basketball flying in the sky, and he already had the answer in his heart.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of brushing the net sounded behind Lin Fei's head, and Nowitzki hit a key two-pointer.

"OMG, Dirk is so strong. He hit a key two-pointer in a solo facial shot. His score tonight has reached 41 points!"

"I have to say that Dirk's move is really unsolvable. Lin almost did everything from top defense to flying defense to perfection, but in the end he still failed to complete the block!"

In the commentary, the Heat quickly served from the baseline for a fast break, and Lin Fei was not disturbed by Nowitzki's facial shot in the slightest.

The Heat's quick attack was dominated by Wade holding the ball. Lin Fei was full of energy after resting for half a quarter, and he continued to run back in the frontcourt to pull on the defense.
Finally, an opportunity that was not considered a chance came near the 30-degree angle on the left outside line.

"Whoosh!"

The moment Wade passed the ball into his hands, Lin Fei bypassed Josh Howard, who was chasing after Battier, and Ginobili, who switched defenses.
The two of them almost surrounded the offensive players in a left-right motion.

Lin Fei also accurately sensed the surrounding defensive environment. He rushed out of the three-point line to get the ball and continued to dribble forward for two steps without stopping.

Then he suddenly stopped and took off, turned around while flying, and faced the flying defense of Ginobili and Josh Howard. He didn't dodge or dodge, he just wanted to shoot!
Lin Fei suddenly turned around and took off the ball after dribbling outward. It was so sudden that Ginobili and Josh Howard relied entirely on subconscious flying to defend and could not hold their bodies back at all.

"boom!"

The two defenders pressed on Lin Fei almost at the same time, forcing Lin Fei to the ground.

Almost at the same moment, the sound of a basketball hitting the board and hitting the net was clear and sweet.

"boom!"

"Shh!"

This was a three-point shot with a high degree of luck. Lin Fei almost completely relied on muscle memory and subconscious to complete the shot.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle also sounded, indicating a defensive foul by the Mavericks players, 3+1.
