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

Chapter 233 [233] A miracle of 37 points in a single quarter, Wade doubted his life!

  Lin Fei dribbled quickly down the middle, and his dribbling speed was top-notch. However, Wade was chasing after him without the ball, so after crossing the center line, he quickly surpassed Lin Fei by half a head from the side.
  The long-arm attack continued to interfere with Lin Fei's rapid movements.

  Lin Fei looked at all six directions and made a pass with his back. The basketball flew directly to Marbury, who was following up from the left.

  Marbury caught the ball and shook off Jason Williams, then accelerated straight into the three-point line with a diagonal stab.

  Seeing that Marbury was about to break into the penalty area for an easy layup, Wade did not dare to let Lin Fei go to cover up.

  "Boom!"

  Marbury entered the penalty area without any hesitation. He leaped up and slammed the ball into the basket.

  Lin Fei assist +1.

  Marbury scored +2.

  The scene was filled with cheers, and the Knicks had completely taken control of the game at this time.

  Knicks (35): (19) Heat.

  "My God! A hearty counterattack and fast break. Lin's defensive steal and fast break pass allowed Stephen to complete a wonderful dunk!"

  "If I remember correctly, this should be Stephon Marbury's third dunk of the new season, right? This guy feels like he is 3 years younger!"

  “林已经拿到了29分3助攻4抢断！单节29分堪称经典，单节4个抢断同样精彩绝伦！”

  "Who would have thought that the defending champion Heat, ranked first in the league's team strength list, would be led by 16 points in less than a single quarter by the Knicks, fifth in the Eastern Conference?"

  "Dwayne's overall offensive and defensive strength has been crushed by Lin. The Heat must play team basketball. If it is just a one-on-one duel between Dwayne and Lin, then the Knicks will obviously have a greater chance of winning!"

  "As the saying goes, when you encounter strength, you become stronger. It seems that Lin in tonight's Christmas battle is destined to deliver another scoring feast that will go down in history!"

  Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith talked eloquently. Wade also stabilized his mentality on the court, handed the ball to White Chocolate, and restrained Lin Fei from the outside.

  But Wade is not Kobe Ray Allen, so why would Lin Fei worry about his three-point shooting?
  Seeing Williams and Lin Fei playing a pick-and-roll in the high post on the left, Lin Fei, who retreated to the free throw line, saw the right moment and rushed forward to double-team.

  After all, Williams is a first-rate point guard, and the ball was decisively passed to Wade, who was left open outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right.

  Wade hesitated slightly after receiving the ball and did not choose to break through the penalty area directly. Instead, he dribbled the ball to adjust the rhythm, and opened his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

  Seeing that Lin Fei has already hit 8 three-pointers in a single quarter, and now Wade is left so open, if he doesn't dare to shoot, he will be really looked down upon.

  however……

  "Bang!"

  The sound of iron suddenly sounded, and Wade gritted his teeth and rushed into the penalty area, trying to grab the offensive rebound.

  But David Lee's keen sense of rebounding allowed him to turn over and grab the defensive rebound first, then turned around and quickly passed to Lin Fei.

  But David Lee's pass was too hasty, and the immaturity and aggressiveness of the young players were once again reflected.

  "Snapped!"

  In the crisp sound, Wade rushed out like lightning, flew to steal David Lee's pass to Lin Fei, went straight to the basket, jumped into the air against Eddie Curry, tilted his body and stretched the lever to throw the ball.

  At this time, Wade's eyes were already red with blood.

  Although this difficult layup avoided Eddie Curry's defense, Lin Fei, who was catching up from the side, also saw the right time and jumped up, and suddenly shot down his long arm from the side and behind.

  "Snapped!"

  The moment before the basketball reached the commanding heights, it was slapped hard by Lin Fei's big palm-like hands, and suddenly hit the steel backboard.

  "boom!"

  "OMG, Lin chased the body and blocked Dwayne, suppressing the Flash on the defensive end for the second time in a row!"

  In Wade's horrified eyes, the basketball bounced off the steel backboard and was caught again by David Lee, who turned around and passed it to Marbury, who stepped forward to connect.

  With two consecutive defensive rebounds, David Lee finally made a contribution.

  After getting the ball, Marbury turned over quickly and passed Jason Williams with an in+out while running, accelerating into the frontcourt.

  After Lin Fei landed, he turned over and quickly followed up. He and Ariza separated in two directions. David Lee and Eddy Curry also ran forward.

  Wade clenched his fists and kept chasing Lin Fei. In terms of stalking people without the ball, Wade was still a little behind Kobe.

  "Whoosh!"

  The Knicks' fast-break storm was overwhelming. Lin Fei rushed into the frontcourt and suddenly ran back, setting up a cross screen with Ariza.
  Then with the help of David Lee's rushing screen, he ran away from Wade and accelerated into the penalty area from outside the three-point line.

  Marbury, who was disturbed by Jason Williams' overtaking at the top of the arc, used his crotch to change direction and throw away the defender. He saw the strong figure wearing the Knicks No. 22 jersey diagonally cutting in from the right side.
  Marbury didn't hesitate and threw the ball high into the sky above the basket.

  Lin Fei stepped into the penalty area, flew up, grabbed the ball with one hand and smashed it into the basket.

  "Boom!"

  Two consecutive fast breaks, Lin Fei and Marbury reciprocated, and the Knicks quickly led by 18 points.

  Wade, who was unable to catch up, was so angry that he complained to the referee that David Lee was obviously an illegal mobile screen just now.

  On the timer, there are only the last 2 minutes and 09 seconds left before the end of the final quarter.

  Knicks (37): (19) Heat.

  Pat Riley, standing on the sidelines with his arms folded, looked gloomy, but had no intention of calling a timeout.

  The celebrity fans in the front row of Madison Square Garden burst into applause, cheering for Lin Fei and the Knicks' wonderful fast break.

  "Oh my God, 31 points. Lin has already scored 31 points in the first quarter, but there are still two minutes left before the first quarter is over!"

  "Is this score really not reversed? The Knicks actually lead the Heat by 18 points?"

  At this time, on the high-definition four-sided screen overhead, a slow-speed replay of Lin Fei's fast break dunk from Marbury,

  Also printed in the lower left corner are the rankings of individual points scored in a single quarter in NBA history:
  First place: George Gervin, 33 points (second quarter).

  Second place: David Thompson, 32 points (first quarter).

  Third place: Lin Fei, 31 points (first quarter).

  In the live broadcast room of Tianchao [-], Director Zhang was also very excited at this time, and introduced to the fans with a radiant face.

  "Lin Fei is amazing. These 31 points are already the third highest score in a single quarter in NBA history. He is only 2 points away from the first place, David Thompson!"

  "In the last two minutes of the first quarter, as long as Lin Fei can hit another three-pointer, he will officially surpass Gervin George's single-quarter record of 33 points!"

  "The interesting thing is that back then, David Thompson and George Gervin competed for the season scoring title. On the final day of the regular season, the two of them scored like crazy!"

  "And David Thompson's 32 points in a single quarter and George Gervin's 33 points in a single quarter were both scored at the same time on this day!"

  "Looking at their historical status, David Thompson and George Gervin can only be regarded as top statistics brushes, but Lin Fei's 31 points in a single quarter tonight is the real deal!"

  Director Zhang did not hesitate to praise Lin Fei. If his own star can reach this level, it would be a shame for China Basketball if he didn't praise Lin Fei hard.

  With eyes back to New York’s Madison Square Garden, the game continues.

  After all, the Heat have the foundation to win two consecutive championships, and the mentality of the main players has also been adjusted quickly.

  Returning to the offensive end, Wade used the pick-and-roll to force his way to the basket, pass the ball to O'Neal, who turned over and got rid of Eddie Curry, and assisted the Sharks for another two-handed dunk.

  "Boom!"

  Looking back, Wade still chose to defend Lin Fei on the outside alone, and Lin Fei naturally would not waste his hot touch.

  Dribbling with his back and double steps under his hips, facing Wade who was coming to defend him, he leaned back slightly to raise the arc, and shot another lightning shot.

  "Shh!"

  and also.

  "Dwayne, it's the ninth time!"

  Lin Fei's face was cold as the shot landed, and he said the most heart-wrenching words in the calmest tone. With a helpless look on his face, Wade suddenly realized that the self-defeating kick against Lin Fei at the beginning was obviously a stupid decision.

  "Oh my god, Lin hit his 9th three-pointer in the first quarter tonight. His personal score in a single quarter has reached 34 points, officially breaking David Thompson's single quarter record of 33 points!"

  "I can't guard him, I can't guard him at all! Lin's touch tonight was too hot. In this case, let alone Dwayne Wade, I'm afraid it won't help if Jordan at his peak comes to guard him!"

  Michael Jordan, who was sitting not far from the commentary table, obviously heard Charles Barkley's serious teasing, and his expression was obviously unhappy.

  At this time, the camera also showed a middle-aged black man sitting in the front row on the sidelines. At this time, this retired NBA star in his 50s also smiled and applauded Lin Fei.

  This person is none other than Spurs legend "Iceman" George Gervin. As Lin Fei scored 34 points in the first quarter tonight, the record of 33 points in a single quarter he set that year has also passed away.

  Sitting next to Gervin was David Robinson, another Spurs legend.

  "The Knicks led by Lin seem to be far stronger than imagined. The overall strength of the current team in the East is no longer weaker than that in the West!"

  Gervin nodded slowly and said: "If the Spurs want to win the championship again, it seems they must strengthen their efforts, especially the starting shooting guard!"

  "Trading away Manu was really a stupid decision made by Popovich!"

  Los Angeles, in the home team's locker room.

  Due to the time difference between the east and west, tonight's Christmas game between the Lakers and the Denver Nuggets will not start until an hour and a half later.

  At this time, Kobe and Dayao were watching the Christmas Day game between the Knicks and the Heat on the TV in the locker room.

  When Lin Fei scored 34 points and hit 9 three-pointers in the first quarter, even Black Mamba Kobe was silent.

  Kobe still vividly remembers Lin Fei's experience in the opening game when he was bombarded with 67 points.

  However, in tonight's Christmas game, the Lin Fei who faced Wade was obviously more powerful and terrifying than the Lin Fei in the opening game.

  "Yao, Lin will continue to play like this tonight. It seems that my record of 81 points in a single game will be lost!"

  Dayao, who was sitting next to Kobe, chuckled and said: "Oko, in this case, you should have a big fight tonight!"

  In the visiting team's locker room, the Christmas game between the Knicks and the Heat was also playing on the TV screen.

  The Nuggets players, Anthony and Iverson, who were guests in Los Angeles, were also shocked by Lin Fei's terrifying output in a single quarter, and even refreshed their perceptions.

  "How can this Lin shoot so accurately? Damn it, I want to suggest that the league cancel the three-point line!"

  Listening to Melo Anthony's complaints, Iverson also shook his head and sighed:

  "This guy is destined to be an epoch-making figure in the NBA. Cameron, as a member of the 03 generation, you have to work hard and don't be left behind by Lin, Dwayne and LeBron too much!"

  JR Smith, who has always been unconvinced, had to marvel at Lin Fei's 10-of-9 three-pointers in a single quarter.

  They say he is a genius, but even when he is neurotic, he cannot reach the level of nine three-pointers in a single quarter!

  "I strongly suggest that Lin should be pulled by the FBI to do a slice experiment. This guy is definitely not an ordinary yellow man!"

  While several of the Nuggets' main players were making wild complaints, the picture on the screen changed, followed by loud cheers.

  Anthony slapped his thigh and jumped up: "Damn, he entered again, the tenth one! Is this Lin still a fucking human?"

  Looking back at Madison Square Garden, as Lin Fei singled out Wade and hit a step-back three-pointer, the entire arena turned into a boiling ocean.

  "10 three-pointers in a single quarter, 37 points! My God, Lin really shot like crazy!"

  "37 points in a single quarter! This is 37 points in a single quarter against MVP guard Dwayne Wade. Lin seems to be using facts to prove that he is the first core of the Miami Heat to win two consecutive championships!"

  On the court, Lin Fei, who hit his 10th three-pointer tonight, was also calm and relaxed. He spread his hands to Wade, who had a purple face, and said:
  "Dwayne, how do you feel? Although I didn't dunk you, I'm going to use my own way tonight to make you lose completely!"

  "You said, since we are friends, we must not show mercy!"

  Wade's mentality is on the verge of collapse at this time. Doesn't he lose face as a regular season MVP?

  "Lin, again, the game has just begun!"

  "You said, whoever laughs last will smile the most beautifully!"

  As Battier's corner three-pointer missed the frame, Wade's flying tip-in also missed the basket.

  The timer and the steel backboard also lit up with red lights, and the first quarter ended.

  Knicks (43): (22) Heat.

  Driven by Lin Fei's outstanding performance of 37 points, the Knicks beat the defending champion by 21 points in a single quarter, pushing this much-anticipated Christmas game to a climax.

  "This is definitely the greatest single-quarter scoring performance in NBA history, bar none!"

  “单节15投13中，三分球11中10，两分球4中3，罚球1中1，独揽37分3助攻4抢断1封盖，这绝对是NBA史无前例的壮举！”

  "In terms of explosive scoring power, Lin is definitely the number one active player in the NBA, and even the number one in history!"

  Lin Fei, who had played for 12 minutes, walked off the court with a smile, and was greeted by waves of cheers and applause from the New York fans at the scene.

  James Dolan, who was drunk, rushed forward excitedly and hugged Lin Fei, shouting with his mouth full of alcohol:
  "Did you see that? With Lin here, who dares to say that the Knicks can't win the championship? Who dares to say that I, James Dolan, am stupid and rich? Fuck them!"

  Compared with Lin Fei's 37-point miracle in a single quarter, Wade's 9 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal in the first quarter inevitably seemed a bit shabby.

  However, five rebounds in a single quarter and four offensive rebounds caught the commentator's attention. Against Lin Fei, it was obviously easier for Wade to grab rebounds.

  Only Lin Fei, a time traveler, knows best. Compared with the "Buddha" Thompson who scored 14 points in a single quarter in the 15-37 season, his 37 points in a single quarter tonight are still not perfect.

  After all, Thompson made all 13 of his shots in the third quarter of the game, but tonight he only made 15 of 13 in the first quarter.

  However, judging from the overall perception of the game, Lin Fei's 37 points in a single quarter was obviously more difficult and more entertaining than Thompson's 37 points in a later generation.

  Pat Riley always had a deep look in his eyes. He patted Wade who was sitting on the bench and said in a deep voice:
  "Dwayne, think about it carefully. I know this is far from your strongest state!"

  "Don't let me see Lin who scored 37 points in a single quarter again. What you need to maintain next is the dignity of yourself and the entire Heat team!"

  Feeling the excitement and criticism from the coach, and listening to the ridicule and slander from many New York fans behind me,

  Wade leaned back in his chair, looking dazed and silent, as if he was thinking about a profound philosophical question:

  "Who am I? Where do I come from? Where the hell am I going?"

  As soon as the game started in the second quarter, Pat Riley let Wade and O'Neal rest at the same time, and sent in Antoine Walker, the strongest firepower on the bench, and the rapidly improving Monta Ellis.
  Partnering with Payton Sr., Shane Battier and Haslem.

  Because of the loss of Lin Fei this offseason, the Heat also completed the second plan. With sufficient salary,
  Not only did he re-trade Haslem, who has a tough style, from the Warriors, but he also signed Antoine Walker, who averaged 16 points and 7 rebounds per game, to a mid-level contract.

  Coupled with the persistence of Mourning Sr., the joining of Payton Sr., and the rapid growth of rookie Alice,
  This gave the Heat a strong bench strength, which greatly made up for the gap left by Lin Fei's departure.

  I have to admit that Pat Riley is really good at team building ideas and trading methods.

  Facing the Heat's second lineup that was both offensive and defensive, the Knicks' bench seemed chaotic. Even with Marbury leading the charge, it was still disorganized.
  Crawford and Nate Robinson took turns playing singles, which was not efficient, and there were obvious problems with the attitude on the defensive end.

  Taking advantage of this momentum, in less than 3 minutes in the second quarter, the Heat, led by Walker and Alice, blasted a 12:4 wave, quickly narrowing the point difference.

  After all, it's just a Christmas game and not a playoff game. Naturally, Isaiah Thomas is not in a hurry to replace Lin Fei in advance.

  He just called a timeout to criticize the substitutes, and then replaced Eddie Curry to strengthen the defense in the penalty area.

  Eddie Curry came up and it had an immediate effect. He scored consecutive singles in the low post on the offensive end, making Haslem and Mourning Sr. miserable. Marbury also hit a mid-range shot.

  Although the Knicks started to score, they could not prevent the Heat's indiscriminate bombing.

  At the official timeout of about 6 minutes into the second quarter, the Heat had already chased the point difference to 9 points.

  Knicks (53): (44) Heat.

  The opponent scored 21 points in half a quarter, and the Knicks fans at home couldn't help but criticize the role players:
  "What are these guys doing? As soon as Lin came off the field, they all became headless chickens. They were messing up offense and passive on defense. And this Isaiah, can he coach?"

  "Now I really realize how strong Lin's leadership ability is. Even the stragglers like the Knicks, even Jordan at his peak, can't lead to fifth place in the Eastern Conference, right?"

  "It's all because of Lin's f**king glory, and he's just performing like this? Eddy Curry and Marbury still want to be in the All-Stars? Just dream!"
