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

Chapter 195 [195] Lin Fei leads the team with a single core, will a miracle happen?
Terry flew sideways and landed hard under the basket, his head almost hitting the uprights of the basketball stand.

Seeing the situation, the other Mavericks players also rushed toward Wade and O'Neal. Dampier, who still had blood in his mouth, also punched O'Neal, but he didn't dare to actually do it.

Although I know that O'Neal is not good at fighting, his huge body is indeed quite intimidating.
What's more, the force of the elbow just now made Dampier still confused and frightened.

Lin Fei, Su Yu and Battier also rushed up quickly, surrounding Wade. Players from the two teams pushed each other a few times, and Mourning Sr., who came on the bench, couldn't help but rush onto the court.

Lin Fei took advantage of the chaos and secretly punched Dampier on the waist. Dampier grinned in pain.

"Who, who the hell attacked me?"

Dampier's words leaked a little. It turned out that two front teeth were directly knocked out by O'Neill's elbow just now, and they were spat out on the ground mixed with blood.

However, except for Terry and Dampier, the other players on the Mavericks team are not prone to fighting.
Nowitzki and Ginobili, in particular, were actually pushing and persuading, and did not really want to escalate the conflict.

The same is true for the players on the Heat team. Anyway, O'Neal and Wade both made money in this wave. If this fight really breaks out, it will be much more troublesome.

After all, this is the finals, not an ordinary regular season. The Heat are now in an absolute leading position, and being collectively banned for group fighting is obviously detrimental to the Heat.

The three referees and the coaching staff of the two teams also responded very promptly, which allowed the players on both sides to stabilize their emotions and prevent a larger-scale conflict from breaking out.

Stan Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the group fight did not break out, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"You have to hold back. The Mavericks are obviously deliberately provocative tonight. We must not fall into the trap!"

Although the fight was avoided, Stan Van Gundy still frowned. According to the trend just now, O'Neal will probably be expelled, and Wade will not be much better.

If the two main players are expelled and only Lin Fei is left to lead the team, it will be too difficult to win against the Mavericks.

At this time, the chief referee and two assistant referees were in front of the technical stage, carefully watching the entire conflict and discussing the final penalty.

The Mavericks' team doctor trotted onto the court to check the injuries of Dampier and Jason Terry.

The Mavericks fans at the scene were still shouting and cursing, shouting that O'Neal and Wade must be expelled.

"Is Shaquille trying to kill someone? This elbow almost killed Eric. It was so cruel!"

"Must be expelled and suspended for at least three additional games!"

"Shaquille felt that he was getting old, that he no longer had the influence of the league's number one center, and that he was not even as good as Lin and Wade in the Heat, so he felt angry and took it out on his opponents!"

"Isn't it disgusting that Dwayne sneak-attacked Jason? Even if he is not suspended, he will definitely be expelled!"

These Mavericks fans are shouting and clamoring, but they don't say what they really think.

Obviously, the fans at the Airline Center Arena are expecting O'Neal and Wade to be expelled at the same time.
In this way, even if the Mavericks are behind by double digits, they still have a great chance to complete the reversal.

No matter how good Lin Fei is, he can lead the Heat alone without the other two giants, and he can't be a match for the Mavericks.

In front of the commentary stand on the sidelines,
Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith were also shocked by the sudden conflict.

But for the popularity of the finals, this conflict does not seem to be a bad thing.

"Charles, how do you evaluate the lethality of Shaquille's elbow just now?"

"Shaquille's elbow to Eric was obviously not intentional. Eric's defensive actions tonight were really not clean enough. If it were me ten years ago, I would have sent him to the ICU with one punch!"

"Charles, everyone knows that you are very good at fighting, but this is the NBA Finals after all. It seems that you didn't have any impressive fights in the Finals!"

Barkley curled his lips and rolled his eyes at his partner next to him:

"Kenny, if I heard correctly, you seem to be mocking me for having only played in the finals once!"

After two or three minutes of video review and discussion, the referee finally made the decision:

O'Neal's second-level flagrant foul was upheld and he was directly expelled from the game. Whether he will be suspended from the game will be determined by the league headquarters!

Dampier was the first to hit someone in the face on the defensive end and received a first-level flagrant foul!
Dwayne Wade pushed down Jason Terry. The circumstances were not serious and he was given a technical foul!
Jason Terry also received a technical foul!
After hearing the referee's decision, the Mavericks fans at home gloated, but Stan Van Gundy on the Heat's side frowned and secretly said something bad.

Pat Riley, who was sitting in the second row behind the Heat bench, was also angry. The referee's decision was obviously biased in favor of the Mavericks.

But there is no way. O'Neal and Wade are indeed the ones who took action. It can only be said that both of them fell into the conspiracy trap behind the Mavericks' back.

Because Wade has accumulated two technical fouls, he will also be ejected.

When O'Neal and Wade walked back to the locker room, they were very angry and worried about the next trend of the game.

"Mad, this Eric insists on touching my elbow with his chin, what the hell can I do?"

Wade also felt a little regretful in his anger and sighed:
"I was indeed a little impulsive tonight, and the only one who is happy now is Jason Terry!"

"Next time, I'm going to push this old guy to the floor and rub him!"

At this time on the court, the conflict ended and the game resumed.

Seeing that without Wade and O'Neal, Lin Fei could only lead the team alone. The Chinese commentary team on the second floor of the auditorium,
At this time, everyone was worried about the Heat's situation.

"Although the Heat are still leading by 12 points, without Wade and O'Neal at the same time, Lin Fei is fighting alone. It is too difficult to hold on to the advantage!"

"Tonight's Mavericks have another last-ditch battle. In the next game, Lin Fei may encounter his biggest problem and challenge since the three-year finals!"

Tens of millions of fans across the country, waiting in front of their televisions and mobile phones, were even more disgusted by the penalty after this conflict, and cursed the Mavericks for their unscrupulous tactics at home.

"Mader, this is so disgusting for the Mavericks. It was obviously the old guy Dampier who broke O'Neal's nose first. O'Neal raised his elbow with his back and accidentally hit Dampier. So he was expelled? "

"It's best to expel two people together, but this is also detrimental to the Heat!"

"Jason Terry is really dirty. Wade shouldn't have just pushed him and punched him to say hello!"

"If Wade really punches in the finals, then he may not even think about playing in the next few games!"

"Brother Fei is the only one left. Although it is very difficult to beat the Mavericks again, I still hope to see Brother Fei create another miracle!"

Focus back to Dallas Route Arena.

The two teams completed their respective free throws, and the Mavericks launched an attack from the bottom line.

Heat (49): (38) Mavericks.

Although still 11 points behind, Mavericks fans saw an opportunity for a comeback.

Without O'Neal, it's better to say that the backcourt combination of Wade and Lin Fei is incredible.

But O'Neal and Wade are gone. No matter how strong Lin Fei is, can he still reach the sky?

For Lin Fei personally, without the help of the two giants, he must shoulder the team's biggest responsibility tonight.

This finals, in which he leads the team alone, can just test the upper limit of what he can achieve with a single-core team.

Without O'Neal and Wade, the Heat's defensive flaws were first exposed.
Jason Terry, who was in high spirits, was holding the ball in a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki at the top of the key. Facing Jason Williams, whose defense was two levels worse than Wade's,

Quickly find space to shoot, and decisively shoot another three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Also in.

This is Terry's fourth three-pointer tonight.

Looking back, Lin Fei advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Josh Howard and Ginobili double-teamed him at the same time.

Lin Fei also dribbled away and quickly passed a long pass to Battier who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

Battier took an open three-point shot, but failed to seize the opportunity.

"Bang!"

The rebound was taken by Nowitzki, and the Mavericks counterattacked quickly.

Nowitzki directly dribbled the ball forward, and Lin Fei, who was running at the front when returning to defense, could only rush forward to intercept.

Ginobili, who quickly followed up from the right, was left empty. He received a pass from Nowitzki and went straight to the basket, and hit a European layup.

"Shh!"

The Mavericks came up with a 5:0 wave, quickly approaching the point difference.

The momentum at home is getting more and more enthusiastic, and the mentality of the Heat players has also fluctuated.

Lin Fei came to the offensive end and used the space squeezed out by the double screen to decisively shoot another long three-pointer.

But the ball was effectively interfered by Josh Howard who flew up. The basketball bounced on the rim and missed the hit.

"Bang!"

Throughout the second half of the second quarter, almost all members of the Heat were silent. Lin Fei's efficiency plummeted in both shooting and assists as he continued to encounter focused pursuits and double-teams.

After Wade and O'Neal left the field, Lin Fei made only 4 of 1 three-pointers in the second quarter, plus free throws, scoring 6 points.

Although he also sent out 2 assists, there were 2 turnovers and 1 foul during the period.

On the other hand, the Mavericks team is in a hot state and is ready to take advantage of your illness to kill you. With a wave of 22:10,

At the end of the first half, they just overtook the Heat by 1 point.

In the entire second quarter, the Heat only scored 18 points, of which Lin Fei scored 9 points alone.

"It seems that Lin's real strength is not very strong. It's because he has top stars as teammates. Look at him. Once he is targeted by a tight defense, his efficiency will drop significantly!"

"Didn't Lin say during the offseason that he wanted to change jobs and become the boss of another team? It's best to have an All-Star teammate, otherwise with his current ability, he will definitely not be able to lead the team into the playoffs!"

"To be honest, Lin's performance in the first half tonight was impeccable. He made 14 of 9 three-pointers, scored 31 points in the half, had 6 assists, and had 3 steals on the defensive end!"

"Nine three-pointers in the half, Lin has reached another finals record!"

After the start of the third quarter, the dilemma faced by the Heat became more obvious.Because of the departures of Wade and O'Neal, Stan Van Gundy has fewer and fewer cards available.

In addition to the support of Ryuu and Sr. Mourning, there are only two water dispenser managers left inside, namely center Earl Barone and power forward Wes Simien.

These two players have only played less than 50 games in the regular season this season. They can only play in garbage time in the playoffs, averaging less than 3 points per game.

On the back line, apart from Lin Fei and Jason Williams, only Monta Alice can play more.

The difficulties faced by the rotation forced the main players to hold on. In addition, the Mavericks only focused on Lin Fei on the defensive end.
The other main players include Rough, Shane and White Chocolate, but they all have poor hand feel.

Therefore, throughout the third quarter, the Heat were once again hit by the Mavericks with a 32:19 offensive climax, and the lead had reached 14 points.

In the third quarter, Lin Fei was tightly defended and took 8 difficult three-point shots, but only hit 3 goals. Plus 1 free throw, he scored another 10 points in a single quarter.

After three quarters, Lin Fei has hit 12 three-pointers and scored 41 points.

But the Heat are getting further and further away from winning.

Stan Van Gundy replaced Lin Fei early at the end of the third quarter and let him play first in the final quarter, hoping to cause some trouble for the Mavericks in the rotation.

This trick really worked. As the Mavericks entered the final quarter with a semi-primary and substitute lineup, and they persisted in high-intensity defense for three quarters, they became somewhat lax.

Lin Fei seized the opportunity and scored two three-pointers in 1 minute. He counterattacked strongly, scaring Avery Johnson of the Mavericks and calling a long timeout.

Mavericks fans at the Dallas Airline Arena were also shocked by Lin Fei's two consecutive three-pointers.
Although Lin Fei was not very accurate in the second and third quarters, when he suddenly became accurate, he was still the biggest weapon on the court.

"Oh my God, 14 three-pointers. The fourth quarter has just begun, and Lin has already hit 14 three-pointers, directly breaking his record of 13 three-pointers in the first game of the Finals!"

"14 three-pointers, including the regular season and playoffs, is also Lin's career record for three-pointers in a single game!"

"It seems that tonight, Lin has a great chance to refresh this data again, and this is the NBA Finals!"

"Lin has taken 25 crazy shots so far, and all of them were three-pointers!"

"You must know that Lin has never taken more than 20 shots in a single game in his career!"

"With both Shaquille and Dwayne being ejected and other teammates not feeling well, Lin obviously has unlimited firepower for the team tonight!"

"25 of 14 three-pointers, compared to other stars, this is already a very efficient shooting rate!"

"But with Lin, the efficiency is much different than before!"

"At the same time, Lin's personal score tonight has reached 47 points. It is no longer difficult to break the 50-point mark!"

"If Lin breaks through 50 points tonight, then he will become the first time in NBA history that a superstar has scored 50+ points in a single game twice in a single round of the Finals!"

"Oh my god, Kenny, I can't wait. It seems that in Lin's two seasons with the Heat, although he has won more team honors, his personal scoring explosiveness has also been greatly limited! "

"If Lin goes to another team in the new season and becomes the sole core of this team, averaging more than 20 shots per game, then his scoring average will definitely be the highest in history!"

Amid Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley's passionate commentary, the fans suddenly realized how terrifying Lin Fei was tonight.

However, after returning from this timeout, the Mavericks once again played with all their main players and returned to the defensive intensity of the first three quarters.
Lin Fei, who was shooting crazy, took three consecutive strong shots against the defense, but missed all of them...

Even Lin Fei himself felt strange. Is 14 three-pointers in a single game already the limit before him?

Stan Van Gundy did not stop Lin Fei's bad shooting. Even if Lin Fei's shooting percentage is worse, he is still the scoring point that the Heat rely on most.

In the subsequent attack, Lin Fei cleverly relied on Josh Howard's excellent defensive action to jump up and shoot with the opponent's arm.
The referee blew the whistle and whistled a foul on Josh Howard's shooting, and Lin Fei finally got three free throw opportunities.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Lin Fei, who stepped to the free throw line, made all three free throws steadily. His score tonight officially reached 50 points.

"Lin Fei has already scored 50 points. This is the second time he has scored 50 points in this round of finals!"

"In the entire history of the NBA, there has never been any star who can score 50+ twice in a single round of the Finals!"

"And Lin Fei, who is in third grade, has officially set this great record!"

"But currently the Heat are still 13 points behind the Mavericks, and there are only the last 6 minutes left in the final quarter. It may be extremely difficult for the Heat to reverse course!"

"But even if the Heat lose the game tonight, it will not affect Lin Fei's greatness!"

The excited commentary of Director Zhang and Yang Yi also infected the many Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV.

"Brother Fei is too strong. This is 50 points. If we keep playing like this, we may even score 60+ tonight!"

"I made 30 of 14 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. Although my three-point shooting rate dropped below 50%, Fei was very difficult to play tonight and he didn't flinch in the face of the Mavericks' double-team!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Brother Fei is the god of three-pointers in my mind. Basketball is like the stars and the sea in his eyes!"

Looking back to the game,

Nowitzki's Golden Rooster independent jump shot missed the frame. The offensive rebound was grabbed by the Mavericks, and the ball was once again passed to Jason Terry on the outside.

After taking the ball, Terry took a step laterally to get rid of Jason Williams, and decisively took off from the 45-degree three-point line on the left side.

Tonight, Terry was feeling great from the outside. He has made 11 of 6 three-pointers so far. Plus free throws and two points, he scored 21 points.

Therefore, his three-point shots have become more and more confident and decisive.

Although he easily avoided White Chocolate's defense, Terry ignored the Heat's No. 22 who flew up from the top of the arc this time.

"Snapped!"

This time, Lin Fei let go of Ginobili to chase Terry, and his flying defense was very decisive and accurate. His long arms flew down in the air, and his big hand hit the basketball hard.

Block +1.

The basketball that Lin Fei knocked down with great force followed suit and hit Jason Terry hard on the face.

Instantly, I felt a soreness in my nose, and two lines of warm blood flowed down.

But Lin Fei quickly grabbed the basketball after landing, accelerated his dribbling and passed Terry, who was holding his nose in confusion, and flew into the frontcourt.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Williams and Battier quickly followed up on both sides, and the Heat played a rare fast break in the second half tonight.

Facing the smooth flow in front of him, the Mavericks players who were chasing after him were left two meters away.
Lin Fei stared straight at the basket in front of him with bright eyes. After taking two steps across the center line, he quickly gathered the ball, stopped and took off decisively.

However, the moment Lin Fei took action, he was playing with the fingertips of the basketball with his right hand, and he felt a sticky liquid inexplicably.

It turned out that the surface of the basketball was directly stained with Jason Terry's nosebleed.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this strange touch that the stability of Lin Fei's shot was destroyed.

The basketball flew across the court 10 meters away, hit the rim hard and flew out.

"Bang!"

This three-pointer still missed.

Lin Fei shook his head and sighed. Fortunately, Battier, who quickly followed up from the right, ran in front, grabbed the basketball that just bounced to the right, and leaped up for a make-up dunk.

"Boom!"

The referee signaled that Battier's goal was valid and also paused the game to allow the team doctor to stop the bleeding.

Jason Terry came off the court still holding his nose and feeling uncomfortable. Just now Lin Fei blocked the shot with great force, and the basketball hit his face with too much force.

"Haha, Lin's block just now was so exciting, maybe it was a bit personal!"

"Lin has taken 31 crazy shots tonight, but it's hard to help the Heat win!"

After returning from the timeout, Lin Fei suddenly changed his offensive tactics, attracting double-teams and then sent out consecutive assists.

However, roughly and Battier seemed to have an idea in the last few minutes of the game, and their touch became hotter when shooting from open positions.

Mourning was also getting stronger and stronger under the basket, and he hit a mid-range shot steadily. His mental attributes successfully infected the young juniors.

With Lin Fei's 3 consecutive assists, the Heat also scored 8 points in a row, but problems on the defensive end allowed the Mavericks to continue to score.

The final quarter of the game quickly reached the last 2 minutes and 15 seconds. As Lin Fei once again assisted Jason Williams' breakthrough floater, the Heat were still 10 points behind the Mavericks.

Heat (96): (106) Mavericks.

Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson took the lead in calling a long timeout, obviously preparing to lay out the offensive and defensive tactics for the last two minutes, playing steadily and stalling for time, and pocketing the victory.

The Mavericks fans at home cheered excitedly and had begun to celebrate the victory in advance.

Stan Van Gundy encouraged Lin Fei and the players with a smile, hoping that everyone would relax their minds, stop thinking about the score difference, and work hard to play the last 2 minutes and 15 seconds.

"Kids, your performance tonight was great, I'm so proud of you!"

"Go on and play the last 2 minutes and 15 seconds. No matter you win or lose, I will stand in the first row and applaud you!"

Lin Fei has played for 41 minutes tonight. His physical fitness has been affected to some extent, and his forehead is covered with large beads of sweat.

O'Neal and Wade, who were in the visiting team's locker room at this time, took a shower in advance and sat in front of the TV in the locker room to watch the last moments of the game. They were also very nervous.

"It's really difficult to chase 2 points in the last 15 minutes and 10 seconds!"

"But as long as the game is not over, Lin will never give up. This has always been his character!"

"Shaquille, I suddenly remembered the 35 seconds and 13 minutes we had in the last moment of Game [-] of last year's Finals. Miracles can happen at any time!"
