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

Chapter 191 [191] G2’s full display, setting a new assist record!

In the sports section of New Wolf.com, a well-known sports commentator wrote an article titled "Independence of Basketball Roosters, the Rise of the Dream of China".

He praised Lin Fei's magnificent performance of 50+ points in a single game in the finals and believed that the NBA is rapidly entering a new era because of Lin Fei's rise.

The development of Chinese basketball has progressed for at least 50 years because of the emergence of Lin Fei.

In less than 2 hours after this article was published, it had been reposted and shared more than 20 times, with over [-] comments and [-] likes.

"Only history can prove how far-reaching influence Fei Ge's 50 points in a single game in the finals will have!"

"He scored 33 points in only 50 minutes of playing time. This should be the one with the least playing time among the six 6-pointers in the NBA so far, right?"

"Of course, he also took the fewest shots and had the highest shooting percentage. He scored 16 points in 50 shots. This is simply appalling!"

"Zhang Bolun's coffin board can no longer be held. To score 16 points on 50 shots is simply a fantasy for those ancient gods!"

"With my Fei Ge's 50 points in this game, plus the one-legged 'Rooster Independence' three-pointer after spraining his ankle at the end, if the Heat win the championship, the FMVP must be my Fei Ge's!"

"After scoring 50 points in the first game of the Finals, the Mavericks will definitely put more effort into defending Fei Ge. Fei Ge won't be like last year when he suddenly misfired and only scored a dozen points in a game, right?"

"Don't worry, Lin Fei is no longer the Lin Fei of last year!"

"Lin Fei in last year's finals was ridiculously bad at dribbling and passing. It's different now. No matter how tight the defense is, it can't stop him from scoring!"

"Winning the championship is the most important thing. Even if Fei Ge scores less, he can still help his teammates with assists. Basketball is always a team sport, and a lone wolf will never have good results!"

The next morning here in the United States, sports morning papers and magazines from all over the country also spent a lot of time on their front pages to report on Lin Fei's magical performance in G2 of the finals.

The cover of the latest issue of "Sports Illustrated" is the classic scene of Lin Fei shooting Jason Terry in the face with a one-legged jumper.

Miami, on the subway during the morning rush hour.

Many fans wearing Heat jerseys such as Lin Fei, Wade, O'Neal, etc., in their spare time on the way to work,
I couldn't help but talk about the impressive finals last night.

"Lin's performance last night was really amazing. The 50-point ball was a classic, especially the one-legged three-pointer at the end. This was clearly calling Dirk from afar!"

"This is the sixth 50+ game in the history of the Finals, and the first in the history of our Miami Heat team!"

"It's a pity that Lin will choose a new club during the offseason. I really hope he can stay with the Heat, even if it means playing for another season. The Heat will definitely have a chance to win three consecutive championships by then!"

"There is nothing we can do about this. Just look at it. Without Lin, the Heat will add fresh blood next season. Under the leadership of Dwayne, the Heat will still have a chance to win the championship!"

"However, no matter which team Lin joins next season, I will still be his loyal fan. Lin's performance on the basketball court has transcended the opposition between the city and the team. This is the purest love for basketball!"

"Lin blasted 50+ in the first game, which will inevitably lead to tighter defensive targets from the Mavericks. In the next second game, I have a feeling that Dwayne will explode!"

Lin Fei scored 1 points efficiently with 16 of 13 three-pointers in G50 of the finals.
Many retired celebrities and current stars in the league have also made comments in public:
Kobe Bryant:
"In today's league, Lin is a different kind of super star. His upper limit is immeasurable. At the same time, in the new season, Lin will also be my most concerned opponent!"

LeBron James:

"Lin has an unreplicable three-point shooting ability and is also a very good partner. This gives the Heat a clear advantage in the showdown with the Mavericks!"

Michael Jordan:
"It's a great honor to witness Lin score 50 points live. He is a unique Eastern player. The NBA has entered a new era because of him!"

"Magic" Johnson:
"In addition to Lin's crazy three-point ability, his passing and organization are also top-notch. The regular season MVP will inevitably lose its glory when he is around him!"

Karl Malone:

"Lin scored 50 points in the finals, but he didn't get a single rebound in the game. This is really incredible!"

As the Jazz star Karl Malone has just retired, these remarks are obviously inappropriate.
It seems that the old Malone, who was eliminated with the Lakers in the 04 Western Conference Finals because of Lin Fei's three-pointer, still has complaints about this young man who came out of nowhere.

其实德克·诺维斯基在总决赛G1中狂轰41分10篮板3助攻1抢断1封盖，数据同样炸裂，效率也非常高效。

However, the identity of the loser, coupled with Lin Fei's incredible 50-point performance, made Nowitzki's 41+10 eclipse and helplessly become a "mileage tragedy".

In particular, Lin Fei's one-leg jumper three-pointer at the last moment seemed to cover up Nowitzki's "Golden Rooster Independence" edge.

Lin Fei's 50-point highlight of a single game in the finals quickly spread on video websites around the world and became unprecedentedly popular.

Even some passers-by who are not NBA and basketball fans were amazed by the accurately guided three-pointers in the video highlights, as well as the superb dribbling and strong defense.

Then I started to pay attention to NBA games, and I couldn’t stop it from then on...

Many fates start so simply and end without reason.

Of course, the most loyal Lin Fei fans are most concerned about Lin Fei's ankle injury.

Just the day before the second game of the Finals started, Lin Fei's personal official Twitter and the Heat's official website simultaneously released the latest news,
Lin Fei's ankle injury has fully recovered and he will continue to start in tomorrow's finals G1.

The fans finally felt a stone fall from their hearts. At the same time, they were excitedly looking forward to Lin Fei continuing his heroic performance in the second game of the finals.

Miami.

In the hotel where the Mavericks stayed, there was a conference room.

Head coach Avery Johnson and several assistant coaches were in front of the projector, carefully analyzing the video of the first game of the Finals.

Dismantle and explain the Heat's tactical details on both offense and defense.

"It turns out that Lin really doesn't have the ability to shoot two-pointers in sports. Neither mid-range shots nor layups are in his arsenal!"

"So in tomorrow's second finals, we will continue to implement the main strategy of only guarding Lin Fei from the outside and passing the ball, and even actively induce him to reach the three-point line at some times!"

"Lin's biggest role for the Heat is not that he scored 50 points, but that he sent out 10 assists and also had 3 steals and 2 blocks on the defensive end!"

"So while we are limiting Lin's scoring, we must also try to limit his contact with his teammates and try to cut off the Heat's deep cooperation!"

Listening to Avery Johnson talking a lot, the Mavericks players felt helpless.

It feels like the head coach can stand and talk without pain in his back.

Everyone knows that we must limit Lin Fei’s scoring, his passing, and his off-ball movement.

But what exactly should be done to accomplish these tasks?

Josh Howard, who left the game with six fouls in G1, still has the tenacity of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
He clenched his fists while mentally summarizing his mistakes in the first game, hoping to put more pressure on Lin Fei in G2.

The next day, American Airlines Arena.

The second game of the finals arrived as scheduled with the expectations of hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

The Heat's starting lineup remains the same.

Point Guard (PG): Dwyane Wade,

Shooting guard (SG): Lin Fei,

Small Forward (SF): Shane Battier,

Power Forward (PF): Roughly,

Center (C): Shaquille O'Neal.

The Mavericks made a change, allowing Devin Harris, who was fast and also scored 1 points as a substitute in G10, to replace Daniels as the starter against Lin Fei.

Point Guard (PG): Jason Terry,

Shooting Guard (SG): Devin Harris,

Small forward (SF); Josh Howard,

Power Forward (PF): Dirk Nowitzki,

Center (C): Eric Dampier.

Tonight, my old friend Sizebiak flew to Miami from Minnesota with his wife and two little cotton-padded jackets to watch Lin Fei's game live.

Sizebiak's family arrived last night and slept at Lin Fei's seaside villa. Qin Dongmei happened to be there, so she and Sizebiak's wife, Shannon Ward, asked each other about their cooking skills.

On the court, Dampier made a successful jump ball and the Mavericks took the lead in attacking.

The ball came over and was given to Nowitzki at the top of the arc. He held the ball behind his back and faced him. It was obvious that he was going to play singles again.

Stan Van Gundy still did not arrange a double-teaming tactic against Nowitzki tonight. After all, Nowitzki scored 41 points and 10 rebounds in the last game, but it was the Mavericks who lost in the end.This shows that there is not much problem with the Heat's defensive strategy. Moreover, this is only the beginning of the game, and it is completely late to adjust the defense at critical moments.

"Shh!"

Nowitzki faced the general defense with ease, turned over and leaned back independently, and hit the three-pointer steadily.

Generally speaking, the ball was defended quite well and there was no loss of position. Unfortunately, King Nuo had a good touch.

After losing the last game, Nowitzki also made a deep review and self-adjustment, hoping to help the team more tonight.

Sitting in the second row on the sidelines, Nowitzki's parents also flew to Miami from Germany to cheer for their son's games in person. Mark Cuban paid for their travel expenses.

Nowitzki's father, Jock Nowitzki, is a handball player, and his mother is a basketball player. The strong genes are self-evident.

The possession of the ball is switched, and the Heat attack.

Lin Fei held the ball at the top of the arc and actively summoned a rough pick-and-roll.

Seeing Josh Howard and Dirk Nowitzki all rushing towards Lin Fei,

Lin Fei didn't hesitate and hit the ball with a very abrupt hit to the ground, sending it out from under Josh Howard's bow-legged crotch.

He retreated to the three-point line at a 30-degree angle from the right to catch the ball quickly, adjusted his breathing, and decisively raised his hand to shoot.

"Shh!"

Finally got the three points.

In the last game, Nowitzki was generally unfavorable in defense. He was ejected for 6 fouls in the final quarter. His poor condition resulted in a poor offensive feel.

In order to make adjustments tonight, Stan Van Gundy was also very heartwarming. The Heat specially arranged a three-point tactic for the Heat's first attack.

If the general offensive performance is good, the Mavericks' defense will also be restrained, and Lin Fei will not dare to act unscrupulously.

It is precisely because of Lin Fei's incredible 50 points in the last game that the Heat coaching staff determined in advance that the Mavericks' defense against Lin Fei will be tighter tonight.

Therefore, if you want to break the tie, Wade and O'Neal, as well as other major role players, especially General, Shane Battier and Jason Williams, must stand up.

Throughout the first quarter, Lin Fei's main goal was to deal cards from the outside. He would not enter the three-point line without entering the three-point line, which fully opened up the Heat's offensive space.

Next, he will use various pick-and-roll screens, as well as off-ball screens and intersperses between teammates, to keenly discover opportunities and pass good balls.

Although after the first quarter, Lin Fei only took one outside shot and hit a 1-pointer, but he sent 3 assists, completely revitalizing the team's offense.

Fortunately, the teammates' touch was pretty good tonight. Wade's air cuts were extremely sharp. He either scored difficult goals or drew fouls and went to the free throw line.
Both Shao and Battier also hit three-pointers, and O'Neal also delivered a wonderful 2+1 dunk from behind the basket.

These are all inseparable from the contribution of Lin Fei Miao Chuan.

After the first half, with Lin Fei taking only 5 shots and scoring 12 points, the Heat led the Mavericks by 13 points.

Heat (59): (46) Mavericks.

In addition to 10 assists in the half, Lin Fei also showed strong talent on the defensive end.

Although Devin Harris is fast enough and continues to tear apart the Heat's defense with off-the-ball movements and air cuts,
But even if Lin Fei is not as fast as Harris, he can still catch up behind the opponent and block shots at any time.

Although Harris is fast and talented, his shooting stability is very poor and his dribbling error rate is also high.

In the first half alone, Lin Fei sent out 2 blocks and 2 steals, half of which were obtained by Harris.

Led by Lin Fei with 12 points, 10 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the half, the Heat were all on the line, always outperforming the Mavericks on both offense and defense.

The offense is playing smoothly, and the defense has greater confidence.

Under the general active defense, Nowitzki's touch also declined tonight. He made 11 of 5 shots in the first half. He was still very efficient, but he didn't have the explosion in the first game of the Finals.

"He sent out 10 assists in the first half. Lin really became the Heat's organizational master this time!"

"Ten assists in the first half of the finals is also a very rare statistic. Is it possible that Lin will set a new assist record tonight?"

"Dwayne scored 9 points on 15 shots in the half and took on the main offensive responsibility. The roles between him and Lin really formed a perfect call tonight!"

"Stan Van Gundy's tactics are too rich. There may be a surprise in the second half, and the two of them will switch offensive organizations again!"

"The Mavericks' defensive strategy also has a big problem. Avery Johnson was clearly trying to choke Lin Fei tonight, and he let go of role players appropriately, but the role players' touch got better!"

"In addition to Wade's 15 points and Lin's 12 points, there are roughly 5 points, Battier 5 points, and Williams 4 points!"

O'Neal scored 8 points in the first half even with dunks and penalties, and he made an astonishing 6 of 4 free throws. The Mavericks were so scared that they didn't dare to attack the sharks! "

During the halftime break, the atmosphere among the Heat's players was quite harmonious, and everyone even discussed in advance where they would go to form a team after the game.

The Mavericks had a much more solemn atmosphere. Avery Johnson did not mess up his position and continued his defensive strategy.

And encourage the players to speed up the rotation and give the Heat greater pressure.

After the start of the third quarter, the Mavericks increased their defensive intensity and became more aggressive in their rotations, which caused the Heat's offensive efficiency to drop instantly.

Lin Fei's several consecutive passes ended in strikes from his teammates. The Mavericks also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and quickly narrowed the point difference to 6 points.

Stan Van Gundy is not in a hurry to show his trump card and continues to fight the Mavericks.

Apart from Lin Fei, the Heat can only rely on Wade at critical moments.

The Flash was deliberately left open on the outside, and he also seized the opportunity to continue to go wild, shooting 2 of 1 three-pointers, and then hit a half-volume throw from an air cut to the ball.

"Shh!"

The Mavericks' defense has always been on the verge of focusing on one thing and losing another, which is also a reflection of the real strength gap between the two teams.

Stan Van Gundy deliberately adjusted the rotation, allowing Lin Fei to rest for most of the third quarter, and then play with Jason Williams after the start of the final quarter.

Facing the Mavericks' main lineup with half of the substitutes, Lin Fei, who came on the field in the last quarter, finally started his personal scoring mode with sufficient physical strength.

Although Josh Howard was still the main defender, Lin Fei did not take him seriously at all.

Two consecutive single three-pointers from the outside made Josh Howard feel bitter and helpless.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Fei decisively stepped forward to double-team on the defensive end, directly stealing Nowitzki. During the counterattack, the dribble changed direction to attract the defense, and he passed directly to Jason Williams who was following up from the left.
Then with the help of Battier's screen, he went straight to the 0-degree three-point line on the right side, received Williams's return pass after reaching the basket, bent his bow and arrow, and shot another one.

"Shh!"

The flying Ginobili once again violated Lin Fei's cylinder, and the assistant referee blew the whistle, 3+1.

Hit three three-pointers in less than 120 seconds.

Lin Fei's sudden outburst caused the American Airlines Arena to burst into cheers, and the Mavericks coach could only quickly call for a long timeout.

At this time, the Heat already led the Mavericks by 19 points.

Heat (95): (76) Mavericks.

After the timeout, Nowitzki comes on, followed by Wade on the Heat's side.

The all-or-nothing fast-paced offense made the Mavericks' defense even more disorganized. The Heat's three guards were matched with Battier and General, and both offense and defense were flourishing.
With Lin Fei's two consecutive assists and another three-pointer, the Mavericks were completely unable to make a comeback.

It is worth noting that the Heat actually put O'Neal on the bench during the decisive stage at the end of the fourth quarter.

This is also a focus of great concern to media reporters.

Even though the Heat defeated the Mavericks again and took a 2-0 lead in the series, O'Neal was smiling while sitting on the bench, actively cheering for his teammates.

However, the tactical arrangement of the Heat coaching staff still made media reporters keenly aware of conflicts and topics.

In G2 of the finals, Lin Fei changed his style of killing everyone in G1. He only took 10 shots in the game, but he also hit 8 three-pointers and scored 29 points with free throws.
Plus 16 assists, 1 rebound, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

16 assists in a single game also broke Lin Fei's personal record for assists in a single game.

虽然没有了总决赛G1的表现炸裂，但林飞的29分16助攻4抢断2封盖更显得全面，
At the same time, it also fully motivated the Heat teammates to play positive team basketball.

With a big score of 2:0, Lin Fei and the Heat also completed their home game. Next, they will go to Dallas and there will be three consecutive away tests...
