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

In the history of the NBA, there are only three stars who can win the four major honors of championship, regular season MVP, finals MVP and All-Star MVP in a single season.

The three are: Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal and Willis Reid.

Among them, Jordan won the honorary Grand Slam twice in the two seasons of 1996 and 1998. He is the only star in NBA history to win the MVP and championship Grand Slam twice. He is well-deserved as the God of Basketball. Return.

Shaquille O'Neal won the championship and three MVP awards in the 1999-00 season. That season was also the first time O'Neal and Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to the top.
In that year's Finals, the 28-year-old O'Neal was extremely dominant. Facing the Indiana Pacers, he averaged 6 points, 38 rebounds and 16.7 blocks per game in 2.7 games, and undoubtedly won the Finals MVP.

Kobe's average in the Finals was only 15.6 points.

The third single-season Grand Slam winner is Willis Reed, the first player in the history of the New York Knicks and the first NBA superstar to win a Grand Slam.

Now Lin Fei is also wearing a Knicks jersey, and he only has one victory in the last game left to become the fourth single-season Grand Slam winner in NBA history.

If a Defensive Player of the Year Award (DPOY) is added to the championship and three MVPs, then Lin Fei will be the first person in the NBA in history.

In ESPN's special discussion, it was unanimously agreed that Lin Fei's performance last season, the 06-07 season, was the peak of his personal strength in a single season, and his personal dominance was unique in history.

But the only regret is that the Knicks failed to win the championship last season.

This season, Lin Fei has achieved the greatest perfect combination of personal honors and team honors.

From the fact that he had no intention of competing with LeBron James for the scoring title to actually winning the assist title by mistake, we can see Lin Fei's efforts in integrating into the team and driving his teammates this season.

Two days later, Game 4 of the Finals continued at the Staples Center, home of the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers fought against the odds and made the greatest preparations and efforts for this game. From the beginning, the team continued the offensive and defensive strategies of the previous two games, focusing on positional battles to control the rhythm, actively fighting for rebounds and creating second offensive opportunities. At the same time, he insisted on shrinking his defense and double-teaming Lin Fei appropriately.

Kobe also made the greatest adjustment in his mentality, choosing to unconditionally trust his teammates in the open space, and taking full advantage of Lin Fei's rebounding advantage.

Coupled with the atmosphere at home and the proper care of the referees, the Lakers, who were on the edge of the cliff, finally played a super-high-level game.

Driven by the 59 points scored by Kobe Bryant and Yao Yao, the Lakers finally fought against the same enemy and defeated the Knicks 108:103 at home, finally rewriting the score to 1:3.

Let the suspense of the finals continue.

Lin Fei still efficiently scored 4 points and 42 assists in this G9, but under the Lakers' targeted and desperate defense, coupled with the referee's appropriate favoritism towards the home team,

The performance of the role players was sluggish, and they ultimately failed to lead the team to win the championship on the road.

Although they lost Game 4, Knicks fans at home and abroad are even more excited because Game 5 of this round of finals will return to their familiar Madison Square Garden.
With the turbulent momentum at home, as long as the Knicks find their familiar winning rhythm, the probability of a gentlemanly sweep of the Lakers at home 4:1 is infinite.

"In the fourth game, I felt like the Knicks were a little too lethargic. It seems they are more willing to return to their home court to win the championship again, and at the same time, they can sell a lot more ticket money!"

"I don't feel that the Knicks are letting things go. At least Lin Fei's personal performance has been very good, but the Lakers played really well in the fourth game. Not only did Kobe and Dayao try their best, but Richard Jefferson He also hit 5 three-pointers, and the substitutes also scored a total of 20 points!”

"The Lakers' home whistle in G4 was also obvious. The free throw ratio was 22:13. The Lakers took 9 more free throws than the Knicks. Isn't this obvious?"

"It's good to save some face for the Lakers and Kobe. After returning home, they will never have a chance to win!"

"Although we are leading 3:1 now, we still have to work hard to win the next fifth game. If we lose again in the fifth game, the big score will not only be rewritten to 3:2, but the sixth game will be in Los Angeles again. , that’s not good!”

"I don't think there's anything to worry about. When we play at Madison Square Garden, the entire Knicks team will be in a much more enthusiastic state than on the road. There's absolutely no problem in winning!"

ESPN and many sports magazines have predicted the outcome of the Finals, believing that the Knicks' probability of defeating the Lakers in Game 96 of the Finals after returning home is as high as %.

In the latest Finals MVP rankings, Lin Fei has always topped the list. In the first four finals, Lin Fei averaged an abnormal 45.3 points, 11.5 assists, 3.8 steals and 3 blocks per game.

Far behind the second-placed Kobe Bryant, who averaged 28 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals per game.

In fact, Kobe's average of 28 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals per game in the first four finals games is already quite strong and comprehensive. It can be said to be a super close triple-double, but he had no choice but to lose three games in a row, plus the relationship with Lin Fei. The gap of more than 17 points is still obviously inferior after all.

Dayao averaged 24.3 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2.2 blocks per game. There is no doubt that he is the third person who affects the outcome of the game in this round of finals. He is also the Lakers' well-deserved qualified second-in-command.

Ranking fourth in the finals scoring list is Stephon Marbury, who averaged 16.6 points and 8 assists per game. Compared with the data of Lin Fei, Kobe and Dayao, the three stars have obviously shrunk significantly.

However, Marbury is still the Knicks' trustworthy second-in-command, and his experience can often come into play at critical moments.

Knicks owner James Dolan was also overjoyed. He spent tens of millions of dollars in advance to prepare the most spectacular championship celebration ceremony. Most of the fireworks in New York City have been bought out.

After all, being able to return to Madison Square Garden for another game has created direct and indirect value for the Knicks and his owner, which has exceeded tens of millions of dollars.

June 6, New York, Madison Square Garden.

At six o'clock in the evening, the auditorium on all sides was already packed with people.

The cheers and banners of various colors complemented each other. Fans at home and abroad were extremely excited, and they had already identified that tonight was the night when the Knicks won the championship.

"I heard that Richard Jefferson of the Lakers has an obvious knee injury and is likely to miss this game. This is completely adding insult to injury for the Lakers!"

"We, the Knicks, are not interested in taking advantage of the Lakers, lest we win the championship and be accused of not being worthy of our reputation!"

"It was a pity that we lost to the Timberwolves in the tiebreaker last year. This year we finally made a comeback. It's a pity that it wasn't the Timberwolves and Garnett who took revenge!"

"Lin's statistics in the first four games of this round of the finals were 45.3 points and 11.5 assists per game. Facing Kobe's strict defense, his performance was almost the same as last season's finals. He was really strong!"

"Lin Fei's average of 45.3 points and 11.5 assists per game can completely crush Kobe's 28 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Kobe's performance is also strong enough, but it's a pity that there are people who are better than others!"

"I feel very lucky to be able to buy a ticket to this finals from a scalper for $1800. You must know that this is the night when the Knicks won the championship!"

As the championship winner last season, Kevin Garnett also came to the VIP seats on the sidelines to watch the game tonight and accepted a pre-game interview with ESPN reporters. "Kevin, in your opinion, does Lin's performance in this year's finals be stronger, or his performance in last year's finals?"

Faced with this question, Garnett, wearing a suit and ties, answered seriously into the microphone:

"I think this Lakers team is not strong enough to force out the most powerful Lin. Being able to win the Finals MVP as a player on the losing side already shows that Lin's personal performance in last year's Finals was unparalleled. !”

"Of course, his performance in the finals this year was equally amazing, and he had a huge advantage against Kobe!"

"The overall strength of the Knicks team is obviously stronger than last year. It turns out that Ron is a perfect piece of the puzzle to win the championship!"

In Garnett's remarks, he intentionally or unintentionally revealed his contempt for the Lakers, and he clearly believed that the Knicks would win the championship tonight.

Most of the other star fans who came to watch the game were optimistic that the Knicks would win the championship tonight. They generally believed that the Lakers' comeback in G4 was completely accidental.

Such an atmosphere naturally made the competitive Kobe feel very dissatisfied. He constantly reminded his teammates to cheer up, as this round of the finals would not end so easily.

In the front row on the sidelines, league president David Stern, vice president Adam Joke, and "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell, who was responsible for awarding the Finals MVP, naturally appeared in the view of the cameras and fans. among.

Half an hour before the game started, players from the Knicks and Lakers came to the frontcourt to warm up.

Most of the relatives and friends of the Knicks players also came to watch the game.

After the first four games of this round of finals, Isaiah Thomas was quite strict in his employment, always maintaining a rotation of about 9 people. In addition to the starting five, they were Nate Robinson and David on the bench. ·Lee, Ariza and Quentin Richardson two 3D.

As a rookie, Sun Yue has played time in the previous three rounds of playoffs, but in the highest-level finals, he has only played in the garbage time in the last quarter of G1 when the Knicks are leading by a big score. Less than 2 minutes later, there was only one assist and no points scored.

However, being able to appear in the finals is already the greatest trust given to him by the team. For Sun Yue, growing up next to Lin Fei, he still has a long way to go in the future.

Before the game started, a video specially produced by the Knicks was also edited and played on the high-definition four-sided screen above the stadium. This is a collection of the Knicks' classic goals against the Timberwolves in last year's finals.

The peerless style of Lin Fei, the loser's MVP, who dominated the field, made countless fans at the scene fall into warm memories. At the same time, they also regretted missing out on the championship last year.

But this regret will be made up for tonight, and this is the meaning of this video.

Five minutes before the start of the game, Isaiah Thomas summoned the players on the sidelines and gave a final mobilization and encouragement:

"Guys, try your best to win this game. The great honor of the championship is waiting for you!"

"Don't forget why we lost the tiebreaker last year. Remember, rebounds are always the lifeblood of a game. Whoever controls the rebounds can control the entire game!"

Although Isaiah Thomas' words are somewhat disrespectful to Lin Fei, the team leader, they are indeed the truth.

When Lin Fei thinks about it now, he still feels heartbroken about last year's Finals tiebreaker. It was at the last moment of the last quarter that their rebound was blown, and they were unable to stop the Timberwolves' fierce attack. As a result, he scored 55 points and still couldn't save the team.

Although so far this year, Lin Fei's rebounding is still at the worst level, but tonight, he wants to let all the fans watching this finals around the world subvert their perception of his "Lin Yibi" cognition.

After all, this [Peak Rodman Single Game Rebound Experience Card], which I have accumulated for several games and was reluctant to use, will definitely play its role tonight.

Eddie Curry, Zach Randolph and Ron Artest are the Knicks' biggest rebounding guarantees, and their performance in this round of the Finals was strong enough, not completely Lost to the opposite team Yao and Al Jefferson.

Stephon Marbury, as the Knicks' current number one veteran, is also the team's number two. Facing the prospect of a championship, his mood at this time tonight is also extremely exciting and exciting.

Thinking of his father's death in last year's Finals, Stephon Marbury knew that all his hard work this season would bear fruit tonight.

Tonight's game is the most important game in his 12-year career.

Recalling the ups and downs of his past 12 seasons, Stephon Marbury's forehead, covered with wrinkles and weather, already has the wisdom to see through life.

He has tried countless times, but he also knows very well that opportunities will only appear once or twice.

The time soon came to 7 o'clock in the evening, and the Knicks' starting five stepped onto the battlefield under the leadership of Lin Fei. Their successful pace and firm eyes made every fan watching the game at the scene and in front of the TV instantly become With a surge of heart, he shook his fist and shouted:

"Champions, here we come!"

"Shiver, NBA!"

On the court, Dayao Eddie Curry jumped the ball in the center circle. Dayao took the lead in getting the ball out, and Fisher took the ball and advanced.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Dayao was double-teamed in the low post and passed the ball to Richard Jefferson on the three-point line in the bottom corner.

"Bang!"

Richard Jefferson's corner three-pointer missed, and the basketball bounced high into the middle.

Kobe's eyes were sharp, he threw away Lin Fei and rushed into the penalty area to grab the offensive rebound.

However, just when Kobe flew up and grabbed the basketball above his head with both hands, someone on his side reached a strong posture and pushed his body away hard. His long and slender hands came first and grabbed the basketball first.

"Snapped!"

"Corvo, this rebound is mine!"

This scene made Kobe's pupils dilate instantly, and other players and fans on and off the court couldn't believe their eyes.

It was Lin Fei who took the lead in grabbing the rebound over Kobe. (End of chapter)
