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

Chapter 41 [41] Lin Fei: I really envy you all, I have nothing but three-point shots!
The ball is converted, and the Timberwolves attack.

Without Lin Fei on the field, the Timberwolves quickly switched to a traditional offensive mode. The Wolf King received a pass from Darrick Martin in the high position and continued to hit Luke Walton's weakness.

Wharton Jr. defended very hard, sticking close to the wolf king, not giving an inch, and not making shots.

Although most rookies lack experience, they are very active defensively, because this is often the capital for their start and value.

The wolf king pushed Wharton with his back twice to find the rhythm, and after turning over, he made a decisive mid-range jumper.

"Bang!"

The ball was still a little short, and the bullet missed.

The wolf king frowned slightly, apparently feeling somewhat dissatisfied psychologically.

His offensive state was always online at the beginning of the game, but after Lin Fei entered the field halfway, he had to switch to the continuous running cover mode.

There was no main attack shot for 5 consecutive minutes, which also made the wolf king feel a little cold.

But Lin Fei's 5 of 4 three-pointers was indeed an arrow piercing his heart, helping the Timberwolves quickly expand their lead, and the Wolf King had nothing to complain about.

In the playoffs where the bayonet is popular, winning is the key. Even if Lin Fei plays well, this Timberwolves team is still Kevin Garnett's team.

"Snapped!"

O'Neal's strong body squeezed away Olowokandi aggressively, flew to firmly grab the defensive rebound, and quickly handed it to Kobe after landing.

The Lakers counterattacked quickly, and the "madman" who had rested enough time was full of energy, turning over and chasing after him.

Kobe stabilized the rhythm in the frontcourt and waited for O'Neal to be in position. The Sharks ran all the way, seeing the gap when the Timberwolves' joint defense was not in time, and the flexible tank flashed into the penalty area.
After receiving Kobe's pass, he pushed away the wolf king and jumped up, another violent dunk.

"Boom!"

In less than 30 seconds, O'Neal scored 4 points and 1 rebound, and both offense and defense broke out quickly.

O'Neill, who dunked and landed, was completely out of state, turning over and yelling at the wolf king with clenched fists:

"Don't get too complacent, buddy, the game has just begun!"

Lin Fei, who was sitting on the Timberwolves bench, didn't notice O'Neal's outburst. At this time, he was carefully exchanging some cooperation details in the game with Cassel beside him.

The Timberwolves attacked, but the ball was still given to the high wolf king.

This time, the wolf king chose to attack Wharton face-to-face.

"Whoosh!"

At the moment when the wolf king started to break through, Kobe looked at the right time with cold eyes, let go of the "madman" and quickly double-teamed him.

Facing the double-team, Garnett had no choice but to play the ball, but was predicted by Kobe in advance, and he stabbed the basketball with a flying shot.

"Snapped!"

Steal +1.

Kobe flew in the middle with the ball and went straight to kill. After all, the young man has an absolute advantage in physical strength. "Madman" and Szerbiak failed to catch up.

"Boom!"

Timberwolves (32): (21) Lakers.

After the timeout, the Lakers chased 6 points in a row under the leadership of the OK combination. The one-sided start became suspenseful, and the Purple and Gold Army in the away game also slowly found their sense.

With only 17 seconds left in the first quarter, the Timberwolves made the final attack of the first quarter.

"Madman" made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot after breaking through the time. Kobe defended the ball very well, and the basketball missed the basket.

"Bang!"

Olowokandi under the basket still did not make a tip-up, the red light came on, and the first quarter ended.

Philip Sanders looked stern. He felt that his employment in the first quarter was a bit bold, and he was also overconfident in the game.

You must know that this is a tiebreaker, and there is no room for sloppyness.

Lin Fei scored 5 points in less than 13 minutes, but it disrupted the rhythm of the two main players, Wolf King and "Madman". This is not a good signal.

The current Timberwolves can be said to have an original tactical system, as well as a second offensive system with Lin Fei as the core.

This second offensive system directly helped the Timberwolves win the game at the last moments of G5 and G6 in the Western Conference Finals, but it does not seem to apply to the entire game.

What Kevin McHale said is not unreasonable. After all, this Timberwolves still have to revolve around the three-headed monster and win the game in a more secure way.

After the start of the second quarter, Philip Sanders asked Lin Fei to reappear, and Szczerbiak took a rest.

But at this time, Lin Fei's main task on the offensive end is to open up space and continue to let the wolf king and "madman" be the main attack points.

Facts have proved that this change has also achieved very good results. Fisher has always defended Lin Fei, and other Lakers players are also like frightened birds. On the defensive end, they will always be distracted by Lin Fei's sharp running positions.

The Wolf King first scored two points with a jumping layup in the middle of a breakthrough, and then "Madman" even surpassed Devon George on the offensive end, hitting the basket and scoring 2+1.

But Lin Fei was still targeted on the defensive end, and Fisher took the opportunity to hit a three-pointer, slightly recalling his face.

Seeing that the "madman" was going to explode, Kobe, who had only rested for 1 minute, couldn't sit still, and quickly got up to play in dead time.

Seeing that the score advantage was obvious, Philip Sanders changed his tactics again, replacing Lin Fei and Darrick Martin, and replaced Cassell and Szerbiak again.

The Timberwolves return to tonight's starting five, which is also the strongest lineup on the defensive end. If there is Trenton Hassell, it will be more perfect.

Compared with the 53 points scored by the two teams in the first quarter, in the second quarter, when the defensive intensity of both sides increased significantly, the scoring efficiency also declined rapidly.

O'Neal became more and more brave in the penalty area, and the Timberwolves could only adopt shark-killing tactics in advance.

The Wolf King's advantage in the position of power forward is still obvious. In a single quarter, he scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block, and basically traded with O'Neal.

"Madman" was slightly inferior to Kobe on the offensive end, but Szczerbiak's three-pointer made up for it.

Lin Fei, who was sitting on the side bench, couldn't help sighing, he scored two three-pointers on Kobe's head tonight, and the [Superstar Killer Card] also reduced Kobe's touch by two 20%.

This guy can still break through and score.

It seems that tonight's Black Mamba was in good shape to play an efficient game. If there is no reduction in [Superstar Killer Card], Kobe might be completely crazy...

In the last 0 minutes and 30 seconds of the second quarter, as the wolf king turned over from the bottom line and hit another jumper.

"Shh!"

Timberwolves (49): (37) Lakers.

Always holding a double-digit lead.

Kobe played the "madman" with his back, and he didn't turn over and hit the iron, but O'Neal under the basket grabbed the offensive rebound again strongly and succeeded in a violent dunk.

"Boom!"

The point difference returned to 10 points.

There were only 13 seconds left on the clock until the end of the first half.

Philip Sanders called a timeout, ready to replace Lin Fei and play the last attack of the first half.

Obviously, it is indeed the most suitable choice to launch tactics around Lin Feilai in the last attack at the end of the quarter.

It can be said that the Timberwolves played their bright cards, and the "Zen Master" naturally told all the staff to guard against Lin Fei no matter what, and to delay on the side with the ball as soon as possible when encountering a screen, and cut off Kassel's passing line.

Pause back.

The Timberwolves fans at home couldn't wait for Lin Fei to score another three-pointer, and they started shouting ahead of time:
"Fifth, fifth, fifth..."

Mike Breen in front of the commentary also said excitedly:

"Although Lin is just an undrafted pick and has too many technical shortcomings, his three-pointers have quickly attracted a large number of fans in the league!"

"When he is running on the offensive end, it seems that all the stars on the court are gathered on him alone!"

"Even stars such as the OK combination, Kevin Garnett and Latrell seem to be eclipsed in an instant!"

"My, God, this is a magical power!"

on the field.

The Timberwolves served from the sideline of the front court, and "Alien" Cassel held the ball on the right side of the top of the arc to feint.

Lin Fei continued to interspersed with running positions, Hei Mamba Kobe's gaze was like a sword, he gritted his teeth and followed closely.

During several body collisions with Kobe after running back and forth, Lin Fei felt pain in his shoulder and arm, and was almost knocked to the ground.

But he never meant to use flops to cheat fouls, because this is the playoffs when bayonets are popular, and the referees will not be used to those soft guys.

Neither the Timberwolves' team will nor Lin Fei's own will will allow him to do so.

"Whoosh!"

Wolf King and Olowokandi may have physical problems, or lack of concentration, and the quality of the two consecutive screens is not very good.

Of course, after the Lakers suffered consecutive losses from Lin Fei in the first quarter, the delays and exchanges between players became more tacit, and Cassell had no chance to pass the ball.

Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack, Kassel turned back to Lao Yu to catch the dribble behind Professor, threw the opponent away and went straight to the basket.

"Whoosh!"

Facing Devin George who came up from the supplementary defense, Cassell made a fake fax shot, made a difficult throw after a fake, and the high-arc basketball stably entered the net.

"Shh!"

The goal light is on and the first half is over.

51: 39.

The Timberwolves regained a 12-point lead.

"Sam, I'm so envious of your skills!"

Lin Fei was the first to rush up and give Kassel a high five. His words were not flattering at all, but he was really envious and drooling.

Cassell's ball from breakthrough to throw is quite beautiful. It can be said that it played Fisher and Devon George continuously, and the overall difficulty factor is very high.

The top five point guards in the league at their peak seem to be shining again after breaking through injuries.

Cassell actually felt obvious pain in his back after completing this breakthrough shot at the buzzer, but he still responded to Lin Fei with a smile:

"Lin, it's still my fault that my passing level is not good enough. We can't get three points, so we can only choose two points!"

Lin Fei frowned and sighed softly, the invisible pretense was the most deadly:
"Sam, I really envy you, Latril, and Kevin for having such comprehensive skills, pure hexagon fighters!"

"Unlike me, I have nothing but three points!"

The smiles on the faces of Kassel, the madman and the wolf king who surrounded them suddenly changed. Why doesn't Lin Fei's words sound like he is praising them?

Made, this guy pretended to be here again!
