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

Chapter 196 [196] A group fight in the locker room, Lin Fei punched hard!

After the timeout, the Mavericks made a key attack.

Jason Terry came to the frontcourt with the ball and gave the ball to Nowitzki at the top of the key.

Nowitzki played with his back, slowly delaying the stalemate, and was not in a hurry to take action.

For the Mavericks, they led by 2 points in the last 10 minutes. As long as this attack can be successful, victory is basically within their grasp.

But for the Heat, defense this time is even more crucial. Only by preventing the Mavericks' offense and quickly launching a defensive counterattack,
Only then can the Heat narrow the point difference to single digits and continue to retain hope of reversal.

In the high post on the right, Ginobili and Josh Howard made a quick cross move. Ginobili rushed from a 45-degree angle along the three-point line to the bottom corner.
The purpose of this cross move is obvious, which is to bring Lin Fei's defense to the right corner, away from Nowitzki at the top of the key, to prevent him from being quickly double-teamed.

On the defensive end tonight, Lin Fei used the method of suddenly attacking and double-teaming many times. Although doing so would miss his opponent on the outside,

However, the rapid rotation of other Heat players can often destroy the Mavericks' scoring and complete a quick counterattack.

Before the timeout, Lin Feifei blocked Jason Terry's goal, which was the success of the Heat's defensive tactics.

Generally speaking, against Nowitzki tonight, his defensive performance was obviously better than in the previous two finals.
But Nowitzki is a superstar after all. Even though he gave part of the shooting rights to Terry and others tonight, he still made 19 of 9 shots and scored a team-high 26 points.

He also contributed 11 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

O'Neal's absence gives the Mavericks an absolute advantage in rebounding. So far, the Mavericks' rebounding ratio against the Heat is 39:30, a full 9-point lead.

The disadvantage in rebounding is also the main reason why the Heat fell behind tonight.

Therefore, facing the cross-coverage of Ginobili and Josh Howard, Lin Fei did not guard against pursuit, but completed the defense switch with Battier.

After switching defense, Battier went to the bottom corner to chase Ginobili, while Lin Fei was still facing Josh Howard in the high post.

At this time, Nowitzki at the top of the arc was ready to take a back-up shot, and the Mavericks' attack time was reduced to the last 5 seconds.

"Boom!"

Seeing Nowitzki back-butting him roughly twice, Lin Fei did not hesitate, quickly started to rush towards the top of the arc, and was about to double-team Nowitzki.

Nowitzki had naturally expected Lin Fei's sudden double-team, so he was always observing the situation of his teammates on the right.
At this time, he quickly turned from behind to Nowitzki's right side, using his height to wave his arms high, destroying Nowitzki's first pass.

Nowitzki was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the ball could not be passed directly, he turned around from the left and dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area.

"Whoosh!"

The Heat's defensive tactics this time were planned in advance, and they generally cooperated with Lin Fei very well.

Just when Nowitzki turned over and passed by, Lin Fei quickly followed up, providing enough interference from the side.

Mourning, who was under the basket, also let go of Diop and quickly came up to block it from the front.

Although Lin Fei is short in height, his core strength is not bad. He reacts quickly and presses closely against Nowitzki, which almost caused King Nuo's mistake.
Nowitzki quickly stopped the ball and turned sideways, and Old Mourning also followed up to double-team, making Nowitzki vulnerable from both sides.

At this time, there were only two seconds left in the attack timer. Nowitzki wanted to throw the ball to Diop who was emptied under the basket, but Lin Fei accurately judged the intention of the winning team.

In Nowitzki's desperation, the pass was a bit risky. Lin Fei just jumped back and slapped the ball away, directly slapping away King Nuo's pass.

"Snapped!"

The basketball was just caught by Jason Williams on the left, and the Heat quickly launched a fast break counterattack.

Williams tried to deflect Jason Terry's interception with a change of direction, but failed.

Terry's pressing was very fierce, and he almost even pulled him. It was obviously the conflict with Wade tonight that made him work hard and eager to achieve success.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle suddenly sounded, and Jason Terry was given a strong ball foul.

Terry jumped up angrily, spread his hands towards the referee, and complained endlessly.

"Damn it, there's no foul play at all?"

The referee did not favor the Mavericks this time and directly added a technical foul to Jason Terry.

Because Jason Terry had already committed a technical foul when he clashed with Wade before. Now he has accumulated two technical fouls and was directly expelled from the game.

Terry angrily hammered his thigh with his fist and walked toward the players' tunnel fiercely.

The Mavericks fans at home were so shameless that they collectively shouted a black whistle.

Because the Mavericks had already committed five fouls in the final quarter, Terry fouled Williams and added a T.

Directly gave the Heat three free throw opportunities.

On the sidelines, Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson was very unhappy with Jason Terry's behavior, which was definitely a stupid mistake.

It was fine that the Mavericks managed to hold on to victory without any danger in the end, but if they were really reversed by Lin Fei's incredible three-pointer, the biggest culprit would be Jason Terry.

Lin Fei also clenched his fists excitedly. The next three free throw opportunities are really important to the Heat.

"Shh!"

Taking the lead to go to the free throw line to perform a technical foul free throw, Lin Fei made a steady hit.

Jason Williams also stabilized his mentality at the critical moment and made all the next two free throws.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Heat (99): (106) Mavericks.

The point difference was chased to 7 points.

The time on the timer is 1 minute and 50 seconds away from the end of the final quarter.

The Mavericks seized the next opportunity to attack. Nowitzki turned over and rushed to the left axis area to hit the emergency stop jumper steadily.

"Shh!"

At the critical moment, the Mavericks still have to rely on King Notre Dame.

The Heat quickly counterattacked with the serve. As soon as Lin Fei advanced to near the midline with the ball, Josh Howard pressed closely.

And Ginobili almost let go of Battier, standing two meters outside the top of the key, ready to double-team at any time.

Lin Fei did not hesitate. He knew that if he wanted to reverse the situation, he must believe in his teammates at the last moment.

"Whoosh!"

The ball quickly passed to Battier, who was running on the outside on the right and had enough distance from Ginobili.

Battier took a deep breath after taking the ball and took action decisively without hesitation.

"Shh!"

The basketball went hollow into the net, and the score difference was chased to 6 points.

Shane Battier scored +3,

Lin Fei assist +1.

"So far, Lin has sent out 13 assists tonight. The other Heat players stood up at the last moment of the quarter!"

"With a score difference of 6 points, in the last 1 minute and 16 seconds, the suspense of the outcome of the game is still very high!"

The Mavericks fans in the Airline Center Arena did not dare to make any loud noises and shouts at this time. The 10-point score difference was relatively stable, but the 6-point score difference could be overtaken by the opponent at any time.

After all, the Heat have Lin Fei, an incredible marksman, and 6 points is only the difference between two three-pointers.

The Mavericks called a 20-second timeout, and Avery Johnson quickly deployed offensive tactics, replacing backup center Diop with Marquis Daniels and playing three guards directly.

At the same time, it also gives the team an opportunity to serve a sideline ball in the frontcourt.

Because the Mavericks removed their center and replaced them with three guards, while the Heat still have their original lineup.
So Lin Fei could only go after the fast Devin Harris, Battier came to guard Ginobili, and the old Mourning faced Josh Howard.

Sure enough, the ball was passed to Josh Howard. Mourning's legs and feet couldn't catch up for a while, so he could only shrink towards the penalty area.

Seeing the opportunity to shoot, Josh Howard was hesitant. Instead of shooting a three-pointer immediately, he planned to delay it for a while.

After all, it was the critical final moment, and Josh Howard still didn't have enough confidence.

Lin Fei didn't hesitate, let go of Harris and quickly moved towards Josh Howard's position to cover up the defense.

Devin Harris quickly cut to the basket and waved to Josh Howard for the ball, but Mourning quickly stepped in to interfere.

In addition, Josh Howard's basic passing skills are not very good and his vision is limited, so at the critical moment, he still did not dare to pass the ball randomly.

Facing Lin Fei's defensive pressing, Josh Howard used his back to protect the ball and moved to the outside to get rid of Nowitzki, who was basically coming to respond.

Lin Fei hurriedly gritted his teeth and quickly added it, his sweat floating in the air with a crystal luster.
At this time, Lin Fei felt completely exhausted, not just because he had played more than 42 minutes tonight.

It's because after O'Neal and Wade both left the game, Lin Fei took on greater responsibilities on both offense and defense. Multiple defense changes and supplementary defenses cost him a huge amount of physical energy.

Even in the past three seasons, Lin Fei's physical fitness and endurance are much better than in his rookie season, and it is no problem to play 40 minutes in a normal game.

But after all, there is still a clear gap between the physical monster of Kobe James.

Faced with the double-teaming of Yu Yu and Lin Fei, Nowitzki returned the ball to Josh Howard, and Battier also released Nowitzki from the bottom corner and rushed to cover the defense.

The Heat worked hard for this key defense. Even though everyone's legs seemed to be filled with lead, they still gritted their teeth and persisted.

Howard passed the ball to Ginobili, who slid down the baseline from the bottom corner and into the penalty area, but the pass was a little off.
Ginobili failed to catch the ball and flew directly out of the baseline.

The Mavericks made a key mistake, and the home fans couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

A team that is accustomed to playing in singles, with such frequent passing of the ball at critical moments, will naturally have a higher chance of making mistakes.

In addition, Josh Howard and Lin Fei were both up and down tonight, trying their best on the defensive end, but now they are also overdrawn in terms of physical fitness.

Until the last minute of the game, the two teams fought only with will.

The time on the timer was fixed at 0 minutes and 53 seconds, and the Heat had the ball.

Stan Van Gundy quickly called a long timeout to arrange the next key attack. At the same time, he also asked Lin Fei and the main players to take a rest.

"Lin, you must be careful. If you continue to work hard like this when you are physically exhausted, you may easily get injured!"

Lin Fei gritted his teeth and looked up to see the time on the timer. He had to hold on for the last 53 seconds.

"Coach, don't worry, I can do it!"

After the timeout, the Heat served from the frontline.

Lin Fei suddenly changed to playing without the ball, and Jason Williams on the left outside was responsible for controlling the ball.

This change in tactics caught the Mavericks defense off guard. Lin Fei suddenly made a reverse run against Josh Howard.
Using the elevator door of Mourning and Battier in the high post on the right, he quickly penetrated to the outside line.

The Mavericks determined that the ball would be sent to Lin Fei on the outside, so Nowitzki and Ginobili immediately let go of their defenders and rushed towards Lin Fei.

The result was that Battier held Josh Howard, and Alonzo Mourning rushed directly into the penalty area.

Although Mourning is already a 36-year-old veteran, his playing time tonight was less than 30 minutes, and his physical fitness is far better than others.

Coupled with the mental tough guy attributes, he often fights harder and braver at critical moments.

"Whoosh!"

Mourning, who rushed to the basket, received the ball from Williams, roared with the 300-pound backup center Diop, leaped up and slammed the ball into the basket. "Boom!"

"Beep!"

The ball scored and the whistle sounded, 2+1.

The Heat's tactics of attacking in the east and west were successful. The scene of Mourning dunking Diop under the basket made Pat Riley sitting on the sidelines couldn't help but pump his fist in excitement.

After all, Pat Riley has watched his disciple Mourning come over these years. This iron-blooded dunk just now seemed to have returned to ten years ago.

Although Diop is a heavy human shield, his reaction is very slow, and his lateral movement and take-off speed are average, so he was blocked by Mourning.

Lin Fei also clenched his fists in excitement. As long as Mourning made a free throw, the point difference would be 3 points, and the chance to win was right in front of him.

"Shh!"

Mourning walked to the free throw line and took a deep breath, and there were extra penalties.

Heat (105): (108) Mavericks.

The time on the timer is fixed at the last 0 minutes and 32 seconds.

Theoretically, both teams still have one chance to attack.

Avery called another timeout and replaced Diop with Daniels again.

This is also the Mavericks' last timeout in regular time tonight, and the Heat only have a 20-second timeout left.

The Mavericks fans had their hearts in their throats at this time, repeating in their hearts over and over again that this last attack must be successful.

Don't leave the Heat a chance to score a three-pointer.

In front of the commentary desk on the sidelines, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith were also very excited, and their voices were trembling:

"An unforgettable finals. Led by Lin, the Heat played a championship-worthy game in the final quarter!"

"Even without Dwayne and Shaquille, they still have the chance to reverse or even win!"

"The next offense of the Mavericks is very critical. Can the Heat's defense perform miracles?"

This side of heaven,

The countless fans waiting in front of the TV felt extremely excited and nervous.

"Oh my god, I almost cried. It was really difficult for the Heat tonight. They dragged the suspense of the game to the last 30 seconds!"

"We must guard against the Mavericks' attack, and then Fei Ge will tie the game with a three-pointer and enter overtime!"

"I really don't want overtime. Brother Fei's physical strength is obviously severely exhausted now. We can't continue to be tired, otherwise he will be easily injured!"

"I have a hunch that Fei Ge will kill the game with 3+1 at the last second!"

"Lin Fei has scored 51 points, 13 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks so far. These statistics are incredible in the finals!"

"No matter whether I win or not, Brother Fei tonight will always be a god in my heart!"

Looking back to the Dallas Route Center Arena, the Mavericks' key offense.

The three-back lineup makes the Mavericks more offensively selective. With Devin Harris containing Lin Fei,
Ginobili got the opportunity, European-stepped to the basket with the ball, changed direction and shook off the old Mourning, tilted his body and threw the ball into the basket.

"Shh!"

After all, he is the best sixth man. By the end of the game, Nowitzki was already physically exhausted. However, Ginobili only played less than 35 minutes tonight, and his physical fitness was still very good.

With Ginobili's key two points, the Mavericks also led the Heat by 5 points, and on the timer, there was only the last 9.1 seconds left for the Heat.

Heat (105): (110) Mavericks.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, sitting in the front row, pumped his fist and roared with excitement.

If there are no accidents, the Mavericks should win G3 of the finals.

The audience on all sides burst into cheers, and many fans stood up from their seats, twisted their waists, and sang songs.

Stan Van Gundy quickly used the last 20 seconds to pause and set up a quick three-point tactic for Lin Fei.

"There are very few opportunities left for the Heat. In the last 9 seconds, if they want to reverse, they must hit a three-pointer as soon as possible and then commit a tactical foul..."

"But in 9 seconds, there is really a limit to what can be done!"

"This reminds me of Reggie Miller's 9-second, 8-point buzzer beater. Can the Heat and Lin create the same miracle tonight?"

On the court, the Heat served the ball from the frontcourt sideline.

Lin Fei took advantage of a screen from Mourning and quickly ran from the right to the left.

At this time, Josh Howard was chasing around the defense, but Mourning, who was covering, obviously moved his body to withstand Josh Howard's pursuit.

Josh Howard collided with Mourning out of desperation, which also caused Lin Fei to quickly distance himself.

Ginobili rushed to cover, but Jason Williams had already passed the ball to Lin Fei.

After receiving the ball, Lin Fei faced Ginobili's defense, shook his opponent with one click, and then quickly took off and decisively shot the key three-pointer.

Mourning's mobile screen successfully delayed Josh Howard's pursuit. At the last moment, the referee also chose to turn a blind eye.

This gave Lin Fei a chance to take action quickly.

The moment the basketball flew out from Lin Fei's fingertips, the time on the timer only reached 7 seconds.

This attack on the Heat only took 2 seconds. If Lin Fei hit a three-pointer and the Heat quickly committed a tactical foul, they would still have a chance to complete the victory and the tie.

At the same time, this will also be Lin Fei's 3th three-pointer in G15 of tonight's finals. He will completely break his single-game record of 14 three-pointers.

At this moment, the [-] fans in the entire Airline Center Arena looked at the basketball flying in the air.

But Lin Fei, whose shot landed, changed from his normal state and suddenly shouted for a rebound.

The serious overdraft of physical fitness still affected Lin Fei's three-point shot at the last moment. The moment the basketball flew out of his fingertips, Lin Fei felt something was wrong.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, the ball hit the left side of the basket and popped out. Lin Fei missed a very good three-point opportunity.

"Snapped!"

The rebound was grabbed by Nowitzki, and Battier had no choice but to rush forward and foul.

The cheers at the scene instantly increased by dozens of decibels, and the Mavericks were already in sight of victory.

Lin Fei gritted his teeth and waved his fist fiercely, feeling unwilling to miss the key three-pointer.

"It seems that Lin's physical strength is too much, which has directly affected his three-point shooting!"

"Nowitzki has always been very accurate in free throws. I'm afraid the Heat really have no chance!"

During the commentary, Nowitzki walked to the free throw line amidst the "MVP" chants from the audience and made two free throws.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Heat (105): (112) Mavericks.

A 7-point difference in the last 7 seconds was an almost insurmountable gap.

The Heat had no timeout and could only serve from the baseline, and the Mavericks quickly adopted a full-court press.

Lin Fei was heavily guarded by Josh Howard and Ginobili, and Battier, who was serving, could only pass the ball to Jason Williams, who came up to respond.

Williams quickly dribbled the ball forward, and the other three Mavericks players quickly shrank back into the backcourt penalty area.

Lin Fei's continuous counter runs failed to get rid of the double-team entanglement. Jason Williams, who brought the ball to the frontcourt, saw that only 2 seconds were left on the clock.
Without any further hesitation, he could only use a rough pick-and-roll screen to quickly shoot a three-pointer from the outside.

"Bang!"

The basketball missed the frame, the backboard was confiscated by Nowitzki again, and the red light on the steel backboard also turned on.

The game is over.

Nowitzki and his teammates high-fived each other one by one, and the Mavericks finally managed to pull back a victory at home, rewriting the series' big score to 1:2.

今晚的诺维斯基全场拿到28分14个篮板3助攻2封盖1抢断，得分比起前两场来不算高，但依然是小牛赢下比赛的最大功臣。

Lin Fei walked to the player tunnel immediately. The loss in tonight's game may be more meaningful to him than winning.

Lin Fei discovered many problems when he led the team with a single core, and these are the difficulties he will face in the new season.

Fortunately, the Heat can afford to lose. It is still only a matter of time until O'Neal and Wade return to eliminate the Mavericks and win the championship.

However, just when Lin Fei walked to the door of the locker room,
But suddenly I heard a conversation in the Mavericks locker room next door between Jason Terry, who was expelled, and Eric Dampier, who had his front teeth knocked out and left the game.

The two were talking and laughing in the locker room at this time, obviously very happy that the Mavericks won this G3.

"Jason, I've said it before. It's impossible for a Chinese like Lin to become a superstar in the NBA. With such a good three-point opportunity at the last moment tonight, he actually made it, scoring 14 and more in the game. What's the use? What a weakling!"

"Eric, you are right. Don't you understand the history of Asia? China is even poorer than Africa. It is just a colony in its childhood!"

The moment Jason Terry finished speaking, the door to the Mavericks locker room was suddenly kicked open.

"boom!"

Lin Fei's eyes flashed with murderous light, and he rushed in quickly. Taking advantage of Jason Terry's surprise, he punched Jason Terry hard on the chin.

Before Jason Terry could fight back, Lin Fei kicked him in the waist again.

"boom!"

Jason Terry groaned, and was kicked more than two meters away.

Only then did Eric Dampier react. He quickly stood up, punched and was about to rush towards Lin Fei.

"Damn it, you yellow-skinned monkey, you actually dare to come to our locker room and beat someone, I will destroy you today!"

Before Eric Dampier could take action, several more people quickly rushed in outside the locker room, and they were the Heat players.

Dampier was frightened for a moment, took two steps back, and said in a trembling voice:

"You...what are you going to do? This...this is Dallas's territory! Don't you want to live anymore?"

Jason Terry, who was lying on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, stood up tremblingly, and walked quickly towards his locker with a strong murderous aura around him.

"Made, Lin, I will kill you!"

Lin Fei instantly guessed what Jason Terry was going to do, so he rushed forward first and punched out again, knocking Jason Terry to the ground again.

Opening the locker door with Terry's name and jersey number printed on it, Lin Fei suddenly saw a Colt pistol lying there.

After suppressing his horror, Lin Fei took out the pistol from the locker, pointed the gun at Jason Terry who was lying on the ground, and said in a cold voice:
"Do you dare to repeat what you just said? I didn't hear you clearly!"

"Chinese Empire and Xiaori, whose colony is whose?"
