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

Chapter 33 [33] Ma Long is suspended for one game, and the alien may fight in G7 with injuries!

The lineup of the Tianchao men's basketball team is generally dominated by inside players, and excellent players are also concentrated in the positions of centers and power forwards.

The gap in physical fitness and basketball skills with Omi players is more often made up with height.

For example, in the 04-man roster of the 12 men's basketball team, there are three center forwards: Dayao, Daba, and Mo Ke, and there are two power forwards, Ah Lian and Du Feng.
At the small forward, there are Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan and Chen Ke.

Defenders are always the shortcoming of Chinese players. There are only Liu Wei, Guo Shiqiang, Zhang Jinsong and Zhang Yunsong in the PG/SG positions.

Among these four, Zhang Jinsong is a shooting guard (Li Nan plays the 2nd position), and Liu Wei, Guo Shiqiang and Zhang Yunsong are pure point guards.

In fact, although Liu Wei is currently the top point guard in the Chinese men's basketball team, his scoring ability is higher than his organizational ability.

Guo Shiqiang's organization level is obviously better, but he suffers from physical confrontation and age, and was squeezed out of the starting position by Liu Wei.

As for Zhang Yunsong, he was relatively marginalized. In the 04 Olympic Games in the original world, he got very limited playing time.

Among the defenders of the Tianchao men's basketball team, Liu Wei is currently the only one who has a relatively stable performance in the international arena, because he is physically stronger and has good confrontation ability.

And other defenders, often can't find their status in high-intensity international competitions, and their performance in the CBA has plummeted.

This also further shows how valuable it is for Lin Fei to hit 15 three-pointers in two consecutive games in a high-end arena like the NBA Western Conference Finals.

It can even be said to be extremely shocking.

In the view of "Silver Fox" Del Harris,

If they can return to China with Lin Fei, then there is a high probability that they will replace Ah Lian, and Lin Fei will replace Zhang Yunsong.

Hu Xuefeng, who was originally squeezed out by Zhang Yunsong, has outstanding organizational skills, but his scoring ability is far inferior to Liu Weiqiang.

Del Harris began to think about whether he could recruit Hu Xuefeng back to try the chemical reaction between him and Lin Fei.

If the Timberwolves reach the finals, the NBA season will end on June 6 at the latest, and Lin Fei should be able to return to China and join the team before early July.

The Olympics is in mid-August, and one and a half months should be enough time for Del Harris to practice around Lin Fei and try some new tactics.

Dayao, Bart, Mo Ke, Du Feng and other inside players also have to work with Lin Fei to find a tacit understanding and cooperate with more screens.

Of course, even if Lin Fei turned out to play well in the NBA Western Conference finals, Del Harris still insisted on the core tactics of this Chinese men's basketball team.

That is, the offensive end revolves around Dayao, and Lin Fei can become the core offensive player of the second team.

In the early morning, Miami, in a villa near the beach.

A tall Asian man with a fat face and a double chin was sitting on a wicker chair on the balcony on the third floor of the villa, looking at the giant cruise ship on the distant coast.

This person is roughly, and in one month, it will be his 27th birthday.

After being largely abandoned by the Los Angeles Clippers this season, he came to the Miami Heat with an annual salary of $53.
And "The Flash" Wade, Eddie Jones, Lamar Odom, "Streetball King" Alston, Caron Butler and others became teammates.

But throughout the regular season, he did not gain the trust of head coach Van Gundy. He only played 16 games, averaging 7.1 minutes per game, scoring 3.1 points and 1 rebound.

Judging from the regular season, his general performance is slightly better than that of Lin Fei on the Timberwolves side, but he is a serious second-round pick after all, a player who has earned an annual salary of 200 million in the Clippers.

Such a marginalized performance naturally did not satisfy him.

In the playoffs, the Heat played two rounds, and they only played a total of 3 minutes in 9 games during the garbage time. Except for 1 assist and 1 foul, all other statistics were zero.

With the Heat being eliminated by the Pacers 4:2 in the second round, it roughly ended their embarrassing 03-04 season, and the future is uncertain.

Compared with Lin Fei's sudden appearance in the Western Conference Finals, it is completely different.

This season, the Heat and the Timberwolves played against each other twice in the regular season. As a fellow of China, Lin Fei and Lin Fei also had a good chat after the game and left each other on the phone.

In February, when the Timberwolves came to Miami to play, Lin Fei was roughly invited to come to his villa as a guest, and entertained Lin Fei with his wife Song Yang.

After playing in the NBA for more than 3 seasons, he has roughly received an annual salary of about 400 million US dollars. Compared with his teammates in the Chinese CBA, this is already an astronomical figure.

But after taking out all kinds of taxes and the part allocated to the China Basketball Association, there are only more than 100 million left.

But this villa in Miami is worth more than 200 million US dollars, which is naturally inseparable from his "rich woman" wife Song Yang.

Song Yang, who is roughly three years older than her, is gentle, magnanimous, and quite temperamental. She is the daughter of a high-ranking official in the Celestial Dynasty. She is quite high-ranking. After entering the sea to do business, her wealth is free, and she still has the charm of a 30-year-old rich woman.

The two got married in 2000, and just gave birth to a child this year. They generally came to the NBA to develop, and they also got the full support of their wife Song Yang.

Even Lin Fei was a little envious of having a rich wife who fully supported his basketball when he came to the general villa as a guest.

At that time, the sister-in-law was enthusiastically trying to introduce girlfriends to Lin Fei, and all of them were the children of high-ranking officials in the Beijing circle.

Last night's Western Conference Finals G6 game between the Timberwolves VS Lakers was mostly watched live at home. I was very excited about Lin Fei's superb performance, and at the same time felt ashamed.

Especially Lin Fei's 2.1+3 quasi-lore in 1 seconds at the last moment, now makes the general mood unable to calm down for a long time.

After the game, they called Lin Fei that night to send blessings and encouragement.

Seeing Dayao making a name for himself in the NBA, and Lin Fei turning out to sweep the entire league, it would be a lie if he said he wasn't envious.

However, after more than three seasons of training in the NBA, I generally and deeply felt the lack of personal ability.
The chasing boy who was still comparing himself with Nowitzki back then has gradually recognized the gap between reality and dreams.

At the same time, I generally hope that the misunderstanding with the Chinese Basketball Association can be resolved as soon as possible, and I can return to my homeland and win glory for the country.

At this moment, the mobile phone beside him rang. He roughly picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was called by the manager Xia Song.

Answering the phone, the other party's excited voice came from the other end:

"Generally, the attitude of the China Basketball Association has changed. I hope to communicate with you further, reconcile the conflicts of the year, and return your innocence among the fans!"

……

On the Timberwolves plane flying back to Minneapolis from Los Angeles.

There is a lively vibe in the cabin and the players are in a relaxed mood.

This time, bringing the Western Conference Finals tiebreaker back to home, the Timberwolves have more than 65% chance of winning. The major media have turned their backs, unanimously pessimistic about the Los Angeles Lakers, who have lost two games in a row.

Just earlier, the NBA headquarters also made a decision to suspend Karl Malone for one game for his bad behavior of turning over and elbowing the Wolf King in G6.

Without Karl Malone, only Stanislav and rookie Brian Cook are left at the power forward position of the Lakers. The outbreak of the Wolf King in the tiebreaker is inevitable.

Although Trenton Hassel on the Timberwolves' side will also be absent in G7 due to a slight concussion, it has little impact on the overall strength of the Timberwolves.

And according to the latest news released by the Timberwolves, the team's main point guard "Alien" Sam Cassell's back injury has recovered significantly and is in good condition. He is expected to play with injuries in G7.
