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

Chapter 190 [190] This is the real "Golden Rooster Independence", the sixth 6-pointer in the NBA Finals!
"No. 12, Lin hit his 12th three-pointer tonight!"

"With 12 three-pointers in a single game in the finals, Lin tied the three-point record he set in G3 of last year's finals!"

"Lin was dribbling outwards with his back to the basket, and his sudden turn over and jump shot came so fast that the defensive player's defense was completely disrupted!"

"A long three-pointer at least 10 meters away from the basket. Lin has already made at least 5 long three-pointers tonight!"

"47 points. As long as he makes the extra free throw, Lin's personal score tonight will reach 48 points. Breaking through the 50-point mark is just around the corner!"

"What? We saw Lin being thrown to the ground, with a slightly painful expression on his face, and the referee also signaled a pause in the game!"

Wade, O'Neal and other teammates quickly rushed towards Lin Fei, pushed away Josh Howard and Ginobili, and asked about Lin Fei's situation.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The team doctor also trotted onto the court to perform a physical examination on Lin Fei.

Lin Fei was squatting on the ground and gritting his teeth. His left ankle was obviously sprained.

Heat head coach Stan Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, looked shocked. He couldn't help but rush onto the court, anxiously surrounding the team doctor and Lin Fei.

I hope in my heart that nothing will happen to Lin Fei.

If Lin Fei takes a truce due to injury, the Heat's overall strength will inevitably be lower than that of the Mavericks.

Qin Dongmei and his wife Song Yang, who were sitting in the front row, also stood up anxiously at this time, praying that nothing would happen to Lin Fei.

Since Lin Fei entered the NBA for three seasons, his body has always been relatively healthy and he rarely suffered injuries during games.

In the rookie season, there was basically no playing time, but in the second and third seasons, my personal physical fitness and endurance have improved significantly.

Qin Dongmei naturally knows that it is not easy for Asian players to stay healthy for a long time in the high-intensity competition in the NBA, and Lin Fei's good form in the past three seasons also surprised her.

Did he have to get injured in the most critical finals?
Qin Dongmei believes that Lin Fei is only slightly injured and will not affect his subsequent performance.

But injuries are always a part of NBA games. If Lin Fei really has to sit out due to injury, Qin Dongmei, as her agent and girlfriend, will naturally care about Lin Fei's health first.

The fans at the American Airlines Arena were also shocked by Lin Fei's sudden injury, and they all prayed for their idol in their hearts.

Judging from the slow playback of the high-definition four-sided screen, Lin Fei's feet were not stepped on by the defender when he landed after shooting, but perhaps his dodge movements were a bit large.
This resulted in the left foot not being stable enough when it landed on the ground, and it was obviously sprained.

The Tianchao commentary team in the stands, including Director Zhang, Yu Jia, and Yang Yisuqun, were also extremely nervous at this time, fully expecting Lin Fei not to be seriously injured.

At this time, no one cares about whether Lin Fei can get 50+ points tonight or whether he can create history. What they care more about is his physical condition.

After careful examination by the team doctor, Lin Fei's left foot sprain is a general problem and not serious, but it is still recommended not to play in the next game tonight.

Stan Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief, patted Lin Fei on the shoulder and said:
"Lin, the sprain is not serious. Have a good rest tonight. The rest will be left to Dwayne and Shaquille!"

The scores of the two teams on the scoreboard are eye-catching.

Heat (102): (88) Mavericks.

With 4 minutes left in the final quarter, the SuperSonics led by 14 points. In Stan Van Gundy's view, as long as they stabilize the rhythm, winning the game under Wade's leadership will not be a problem.

For a sprain like Lin Fei's, he must rest immediately so that he can recover quickly in a day or two. However, if he continues to perform high-intensity running and jumping while suffering from a sprain, it may make matters worse.

Not to mention that the chances of winning the game are high, even if the score between the two teams is tight at this time and the outcome is unpredictable, Stan Van Gundy will never let Lin Fei take this risk.

Wade also smiled and comforted Lin Fei:

"Lin, don't worry, just sit on the bench and watch the game. Your task tonight has been completed perfectly. The victory must belong to us!"

Lin Fei stood up with the help of Wade and Battier, moved his left ankle slightly, and tried to take a few steps. The pain was not serious, and he said to Stan Van Gundy:

"Coach, let me finish the free throw and then take it!"

Stan Van Gundy looked at the team doctor, and after receiving a positive reply, he nodded to Lin Fei:

"Okay, Lin, you have to protect yourself!"

Seeing that Lin Fei sprained his ankle and would be strictly protected from playing again after taking the free throw, the Mavericks finally got some good news.

In the last four and a half minutes, it was necessary to catch up with the gap of 4 to [-] points. Since the opponent lacked the first offensive and defensive core, it was not impossible to have a chance.

Amid the applause and cheers of the fans at the scene, Lin Fei slowly walked to the free throw line and executed the extra penalty for Josh Howard's shooting foul.

Lin Fei's turnaround jumper was almost knocked down by Josh Howard and Ginobili at the same time. This foul against Lin Fei can be recorded on anyone.

Ginobili hadn't committed five fouls yet, so he stood up and raised his hand to the referee, hoping to take the foul on himself.

But the referee did not give the Mavericks this convenience and passed the foul directly to Josh Howard.

In this way, Josh Howard also received his sixth foul tonight and was directly ejected.

Lin Fei was guarded throughout the game, and six fouls were committed in the final quarter. This also poured cold water on one of the best defensive players in the Mavericks.

The home fans at the American Airlines Arena were about to take a break after learning that Lin Fei's free throw was over. They didn't know how serious Lin Fei's ankle sprain was.

But since he can still go to the free throw line to take free throws, it shouldn't be serious enough to miss the next game.

"I hope Lin's sprain is not serious, and he must not miss the next G2 game!"

"Is Lin going to leave the game after making free throws? It's a pity that he missed 50 points by one step!"

"What does it matter if you don't get 50+? Health is the most important thing. There are still many opportunities in the future!"

"It doesn't matter if he misses or not, but Lin must come back healthy and must not leave any hidden dangers!"

Most of the Heat fans at the scene put Lin Fei's health first.
But there are also many fans who care more about the Heat's record and this year's championship.

After all, Lin Fei has more than 90% probability of leaving the Heat during the offseason. Even if he brings it with him, helping the Heat win the championship this year is the most important.
As for Lin Fei's subsequent injuries and future status, it has nothing to do with the Heat fans.

"You can still walk to the free throw line and shoot free throws, which means that the injury is not serious. Why can't you fight through the injury and persevere? The Heat's coaching staff and team doctors are too cautious!"

"You're right. It's not common practice for stars to play through injuries. Without Dwayne's injury-prone performance in last year's finals, how could the Heat sweep the Spurs?"

Just as the fans were talking, the situation on the court suddenly changed. Lin Fei's free throw shot, which had always been as steady as an old dog, actually hit the left side of the basket and popped out.

"Bang!"

The two insiders under the Mavericks basket obviously did not react immediately. Instead, Shaquille O'Neal was already prepared.

"Snapped!"

With Dampier flying up to grab the offensive rebound, O'Neal turned around and passed the ball straight after landing, and the ball accurately returned to Lin Fei's hands.

At this time, Lin Fei had quickly taken two steps back from the free throw line, and behind him was the three-point line at the top of the arc.

Lin Fei and O'Neal have used this combination of deliberately missing free throws more than once.

It is precisely because of Lin Fei's abnormal free throw shooting rate that the defensive team often becomes negligent.

But the Mavericks never expected tonight that Lin Fei would be able to pull off this trick even though he suffered a sprained ankle and was punished.

Enduring the slight pain of a sprained left foot, Lin Fei held the ball high at the top of the key and faced Jason Terry who was the first to pounce.
The right leg stepped back and stepped accurately outside the three-point line. At the same time, the left foot with a sprained ankle directly bent the knee and raised it.
He exerted force on his right foot, took off slightly with his back, and made an independent golden rooster pose similar to Nowitzki's height. Facing the under-height Jason Terry, he bent his bow and shot another arrow.

"Shh!"

Goodbye, the young man draws his bow fully, without fear of injury or wind.

No. 13.

Lin Fei's golden rooster was independent. He jumped up completely with his right foot. When he fell back to the ground, his right foot also landed first. He took advantage of the situation to release the force and fell straight down.

Sonics (105): (88) Mavericks.

Terry, who was facial-ejaculated, looked confused and helpless. What the hell is this okay?
Wade, Williams, Battier and O'Neal excitedly rushed towards Lin Fei who fell to the ground, surrounding Lin Fei in the middle. At this time, Lin Fei, who fell to the ground, also had a satisfied smile on his face. One proudly said:

"Look, Dirk is not the only one who knows how to be independent!"

"This is the most authentic Golden Rooster independence!"

On the Heat bench on the sidelines, the substitute players also jumped up at the same time, waving towels excitedly, cheering and shouting for Lin Fei's magical three-pointer.

Stan Van Gundy was also shocked into a cold sweat, and quickly signaled to the referee for a timeout, and Lin Fei must be replaced immediately.

In front of the commentary desk, Mike Breen and Reggie Miller also immediately slapped the table and jumped up, with exaggerated expressions and spitting.
Reggie Miller even dropped the headset on his head to the ground:

"My God, God is definitely wearing the Heat's No. 22 jersey tonight!"

"Lin sprained his left ankle and deliberately missed a free throw to create an offensive opportunity. He took off on one leg and hit Jason Terry for another three-pointer!"

"The Heat's lead has reached 17 points. If the Mavericks want to reverse it, it will become more and more difficult!"

"This is Lin's 13th three-pointer tonight, and it also sets a new personal record of 12 three-pointers in a single game in the Finals!"

"At the same time, with this three-pointer, Lin officially scored 50 points tonight!"

Amidst the cheers filling the American Airlines Arena, Lin Fei stood up and walked off the court with a smile, waved to the fans in the audience, and then sat on the bench with confidence.

Stan Van Gundy asked the team doctor to check Lin Fei's ankle again and replaced Monta Ellis on the field.

Alice was an additional player that the Warriors gave the Heat in January in a trade between the Heat and the Warriors for Tony Allen and Haslem in exchange for Troy Murphy.

Alice was last year's second-round pick. He played as a substitute in the Warriors' rookie season and had little opportunity to perform. The Warriors management does not believe that Alice is more valuable to develop than Tony Allen.

After coming to the Heat, Alice's playing time was also very limited because his technical characteristics were difficult to integrate into Stan Van Gundy's tactical approach, so he was not reused.

However, the Heat lack available talents on the back line. Stan Van Gundy can only let Alice go up first. If it doesn't work, he is ready to replace the old Mourning inside.

Lin Fei naturally knows that Alice has a strong scoring ability in the original world, averaging 25.5 points per game in his peak season, and was even known as the second shooting guard in the Western Conference after Kobe Bryant in the 09-10 season.

Although his leadership ability is poor, it is still good to have Alice be a scoring attacker on the bench.

As a rookie, Monta Alice did not expect that he would appear in the finals. He clenched his fists, looking forward to being like Lin Fei.
Seize the opportunity and become famous.

At this time, the fans at the scene, including hundreds of millions of fans around the world waiting in front of TV sets and mobile phones,

No one cares who Monta Alice is, they are all talking about Lin Fei's superb "Golden Rooster Independence" just now.

The high-definition four-sided screen replayed the entire process of Lin Fei stepping back with his right leg, taking off on one leg, and then shooting Terry and hitting a three-pointer.

Heat fans, both offline and online, were discussing enthusiastically and excitedly.

As the acme of perfection, astonished as heaven and man.

"Oh my God, Lin used his right leg to step back and take off this time. He didn't take Jason Terry's defense seriously at all!"

"Even when he lands, he lands with his right foot alone. You have to know that after jumping so high, the center of gravity of landing on one leg is very high and it is very easy to get injured. Lin's ability to fall back and unload his force is so crucial! It's full of details!"

"What is Golden Rooster Independence? This is the most authentic Golden Rooster Independence, right? Nowitzki is ashamed to see it! Haha!"

"Brother Fei is so strong. I originally thought his personal score would stop at 48 points tonight, but I didn't expect this 'Golden Rooster Independence' three-pointer!"

"13 three-pointers, exactly 50 points in a single game, it's so perfect, so fucking perfect!"

"In the last 4 minutes and 20 seconds, we led by 17 points. If the Heat can't win, the whole team will have to kowtow to Brother Fei and admit his guilt!"

"I hope Fei Ge's ankle sprain will get better soon and he can continue to dominate in the next game!"

In the mobile text live broadcast rooms of major sports websites, Lin Fei's golden rooster independent jumper after spraining his left foot also spread rapidly in the form of animated pictures, and was retweeted tens of thousands of times in a few minutes...

"Lin Fei's 50 points in a single game came so suddenly. I feel like I will never forget this goal in my life!"

"Brother Fei is a blessing in disguise. He has unlocked a new shooting skill package. This golden rooster independence is the most authentic, right?"

Looking back at the American Airlines Arena,

Taking advantage of Lin Fei's absence, the Mavericks launched the final wave of chasing points under the leadership of Nowitzki. Ginobili made a three-pointer and Nowitzki hit two points behind the back.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

However, under the emphasis on offense and light on defense, the Heat also blossomed more under the leadership of Wade.
Not only did Wade get into the penalty area and cause a foul, he also went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

Jason Williams' breakthrough pass assisted Battier in the bottom corner and he also hit a three-pointer.

Immediately afterwards, rookie Monta Ellis also seized the opportunity of his rookie performance. He was proactive and daring on the defensive end. He flew to steal Ginobili's pass and accelerated in the counterattack fast break.
He flew into the penalty area and delivered an explosive dunk.

"Boom!"

The point difference was always controlled by the Heat to more than 15 points. As O'Neal was slashed by sharks twice in a row, he went to the free throw line and made 4 of 2 free throws.
Wade broke through and scored in another offense, assisting Alice in a throw.

"Shh!"

The Heat still led the Mavericks by 1 points as the game entered the final 30 minute and 18 seconds.
Mavericks coach Avery Johnson could only shake his head and sigh. In order to prevent Nowitzki from being injured due to physical exhaustion, he could only wave his hand and replace the main players in advance and surrender.

The final whistle sounded soon and the game was over.

Heat (113): (97) Mavericks.

With a 16-point advantage, they easily got a good start in G1 of the finals without any surprises.

Lin Fei, who was sitting on the bench, also stood up with a smile, paying attention to his left ankle with an ice pack on it, and high-fived every Heat teammate who came off the court to celebrate the victory.

At the end of the game, Lin Fei made 33 of 16 three-pointers and 13 of 12 free throws in only 11 minutes of play.

拿到全场最高的50分，外加10助攻3抢断2封盖，唯一尴尬的数据是篮板球为0。

But this will not affect Lin Fei's great performance tonight. A hearty 50-point performance made third-grade Lin Fei,
He became the sixth 50-point player in the history of the NBA Finals and the youngest player to score 50 points in the Finals.

The Mavericks players walked back to the locker room from the tunnel under the leadership of Nowitzki.
Although they are unwilling to do so, fortunately, the finals have just begun, and this group of cowboys will have more opportunities to reverse their disadvantage.

Because of a mild ankle sprain, Lin Fei did not participate in the Heat's post-game press conference.

But the topics of media reporters almost all revolved around Lin Fei.

"Dwayne, tell me what you think about Lin scoring 50 points, 10 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks tonight?"

"Shaquille, who do you think has a greater impact on the team, Lin or Dwayne?"

"Mr. Van Gundy, from the Western Conference Finals to the Finals, did the Heat's offensive tactics completely regard Lin as the team's first core?"

Wade, O'Neal and the head coach looked at each other, and the three of them became Lin Fei's press spokesman.

Lin Fei canceled the planned training that night and returned to the villa on the beach with Qin Dongmei.

In order to better ensure Lin Fei's training and daily health, Qin Dongmei hired the top trainers and personal doctors in the circle as early as a year ago.

After returning to the villa that night, personal doctor Thomas also checked Lin Fei's ankle injury again and determined that it was not serious and that he could fully recover after two days of rest.

It quickly entered early morning and late night on the American side, but it was still daytime on the Chinese side.
Fermented by the heat of G1 in the morning finals
In various sports newspapers, magazines and on the Internet, news and forums about Lin Fei scoring 50 points to lead his team to a victory over the Mavericks have already been abuzz.

#Lin Fei scored 1 points and 50 assists in G10 of the finals and led the team to a victory. He became the sixth player in NBA history to score 50+ points in a single game in the finals, comparable to Jordan Baylor#
#Lin Fei sprained his ankle in the final quarter but still delivered a "Golden Rooster Independent" jumper three-pointer, perfectly achieving the miracle of 50 points in a single game#
On the New Wolf Sports Forum, many fans also made careful corrections, believing that Lin Fei's one-legged three-point jumper should not be called "Golden Rooster Independence" because after all, he does not have Nowitzki's blond hair.

After the fans brainstormed and discussed, the title "Rooster Independence" came into being...
