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

Chapter 68 [68] Qingbei's pride, Reggie Miller: Lin's off-ball three-pointer is already the strongest in history!
Qin Dongmei just took a sip of the iced Americano, and was almost spit out by Lin Fei angrily.

"Lin Fei, I'm telling you something serious, can you stop making serious jokes!"

Lin Fei smiled and said, "Sister Qin, I'm also telling you something serious. This is the NBA Finals. Do you think it's CUBA?"

"The reason why I was able to break out in the final quarter of the last game was entirely because Rasheed Wallace was sent off!"

"If the five Pistons are online at the last moment, I may not be able to make a three-pointer in the last 3 minutes, let alone a reversal!"

Qin Dongmei also knows basketball, and participated in the women's basketball school team in high school, so she naturally understands what Lin Fei said.

"Lin Fei, to be honest, you can play such a wonderful performance in the Western Conference finals and the first two games of the finals, which has completely exceeded my understanding of basketball!"

"I believe many fans are the same!"

"Especially in yesterday's finals G2, the record-breaking 8 three-pointers plus 1.3 seconds lore, even just this game, is enough for you to leave your name in NBA history!"

"But again, the NBA is a business league, and most teams still consider long-term stability and talent potential!"

"You've only played five good games, which is shocking and crazy enough, but it's still very difficult to win a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions!"

"As for letting the team build around you as the first core, it seems that there is almost no hope of any successful negotiations, and it is even more impossible to get involved in the management draft!"

"After all, your style of play is mainly off the ball. In terms of characteristics and style, you are more suitable to be the No. 2/3 of a team. In this regard, I will do my best to fight for you!"

Lin Fei nodded calmly. As a traveler, he naturally knew more about the pertinence and objectivity of Qin Dongmei's words.

In fact, I didn't expect to become the boss of bad teams like the Chicago Bulls or New York Knicks next season. Even if the management of these teams gambled heavily on him, a boss who can't even dribble is really too embarrassing.

And after all, he is only an overseas rookie. In the Timberwolves, it is because he has adjusted his position and the team is about to win the championship, so he covered up the conflict in the locker room.

If you become the boss of an NBA team directly in the new season, the identity of the overseas player, the qualifications are too shallow, and the technical defects are serious.
It will become the fuse for the outbreak of conflicts in the locker room. How many of those local black players will convince themselves?
As for meddling in the management draft, Lin Fei was just joking. The current wolf king probably doesn't have the right to do so in the Timberwolves.

"Sister Qin, it's still the same sentence, sign a short contract of less than 2 years, if the salary is similar, it's best to choose a championship-level team!"

In a championship-level team, Lin Fei can continue to play his role as a role player well, and his own technical defects can also be tolerated by the team.
Then continue to level up in private, develop insignificantly, improve various basketball attributes,
After one or two seasons, the championship ring, the honor, the statistics, the qualifications, and the full technical skills are available.

When the short-term contract expires, then switch to a weak team to take over the mountain as the king, or let the original team rebuild the team around themselves, and officially start their own journey to win the championship.

Before the finals, Qin Dongmei didn't understand why Lin Fei insisted on signing a short-term contract. Now that she has played two games in the finals, she fully understands that Lin Fei is absolutely confident in his future development.

As a manager, Qin Dongmei dispelled her last doubts and fully supported Lin Fei's choice.

While her beautiful eyes were moving, Qin Dongmei nodded slowly and said:

"Well, Lin Fei, I have the same thoughts as you. With your current technical characteristics, it is perfect to be a jigsaw puzzle for a championship team!"

"In this way, you can also bring out your greatest personal advantages and worth!"

"Although the Chicago Bulls are a bad team in the East, they are actively signing and rebuilding this season, and they are likely to reach a deal with the Lakers for O'Neal, jumping to the championship level in one fell swoop!"

Lin Fei turned his head and looked at the night city outside the window, thinking that if Detroit is so beautiful, how prosperous will Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Miami be?
In the latest news from the Los Angeles Lakers, O'Neal resolutely rejected the management's salary cut and contract extension proposal,
With only one year left on the contract with O'Neal, the Lakers will inevitably choose to trade him out as soon as possible, in exchange for a new star with more potential to assist Kobe.

"It is indeed a good choice to team up with this guy O'Neal. His rebounding ability, high pick-and-roll and coping ability are not inferior to Garnett. This will make me more comfortable on the offensive end!"

"However, if the Bulls want to get O'Neal, I'm afraid there is no chance. The Miami Heat should be the most competitive!"

A look of surprise flashed in Qin Dongmei's beautiful eyes, and she stared at Lin Fei curiously:

"Lin Fei, do you also think that the Miami Heat are most likely to get O'Neal? This is the conclusion I have come to after analyzing this year's free market for a long time!"

Lin Fei thought to himself, no matter how professional your analysis is, how can you compare to a time traveler?
But having said that, Lin Fei has come to a parallel world after all, and the Lakers were eliminated in the Western Conference finals, and he played so well in the finals.

This huge butterfly effect is likely to indirectly affect this year's NBA free market.

O'Neal certainly didn't run away, but it's really uncertain whether he will go to the Heat.

Raising his eyebrows and touching his high nose bridge, which is as handsome as Peng Yuyan, Lin Fei casually smiled and said, "Haha, just guess!"

"By the way, Sister Qin, you are going to negotiate with the management of several NBA teams this time. Do you want to hire two bodyguards?"

"You look so insecure, I'm really afraid that those foreigners will plot against you! Don't worry, the money for hiring bodyguards will be charged to my account!"

Qin Dongmei curled her thin lips, rolled a glance at Lin Fei and said:

"Look at you, you haven't signed a million-dollar contract yet, and you're already floating! You better hire two bodyguards for yourself, I'm afraid the female fans will plot against you!"

"Don't worry, my sister has practiced Taekwondo!"

……

Lin Fei's superb performance in the second game of the finals, the three-point lore in the last 1.3 seconds, also aroused great repercussions in the United States and China.

In order to hype the popularity of the finals, ESPN's sports radio station specially produced a special discussion on Lin Feilai.

In this special discussion, ESPN not only invited retired famous "Magic" Johnson and "Big Bird" Larry Bird,
At the same time, the three active NBA marksmen were also invited:
Reggie Miller of the Pacers, Ray Allen of the SuperSonics, Peja of the Kings.

"Ervin, as a rookie player who also shined in the finals, how do you evaluate Lin's performance in the first two games of this year's finals from the perspective of a retired superstar?"

As the undisputed number one point guard in NBA history, "Magic" Johnson had a brilliant career, with five championships, three regular season MVPs and three finals MVPs,

Before Michael Jordan won his second three consecutive championships, the No.1 throne in league history was once the "Magician".

"Obviously, Lin's performance in the finals was even more unbelievable. This is a great miracle in the NBA!"

"After all, I was the No. [-] pick, and Lin was just an Asian loser. His counterattack and success changed the NBA's prejudice against Asian guards. This is a historic event!"

"But in addition to Lin's 1.3-second lore, we must see the efforts of the entire Timberwolves team. Three-pointers alone cannot win the championship!"

"Big Bird" Larry Bird is obviously more optimistic about Lin Fei:

"Regardless of whether the Timberwolves can win the championship this year, Lin has played the best performance of a rookie in the draft. I believe this is definitely not luck. The new season is the stage for Lin to fully bloom!"

Reggie Miller: "Lin's three-pointer in the finals gave me hope for the future of the league. His awareness of off-ball movement and shooting speed have surpassed me at my peak!"

Ray Allen: "I have carefully studied Lin's game video. His catch and shoot movements are definitely textbook-level, and he has more invisible talents!"

Peja: "Only in terms of three-point shooting, Lin is definitely a genius. His talent is not visible to the naked eye, but hidden deep in his blood!"

Here in heaven.

From G5 of the Western Conference Finals to G2 of the Finals, there were a total of five games, and within ten days, Lin Fei's rapid rise to popularity could be said to have been soaring into the sky.

Schools, office buildings, subways, buses, and alleys all over the country, wherever there are NBA fans, there are people talking about Lin Fei.

Especially after Lin Fei hit 2 three-pointers in G8 of the finals + a lore in the last 1.3 seconds,

The 15:[-] p.m. prime-time news of the Tianchao set also spent [-] seconds at the end of the program to broadcast Lin Fei's wonderful performance in the NBA Finals.

The exclusive reporter from Wutai Sports Station also interviewed the Tianchao Men’s Basketball Olympic Training Camp in the Workers’ Stadium,
I interviewed the coach of the Tianchao men's basketball team "Silver Fox" Del Harris, as well as players such as Dayao and Daqi, about some ideas and arrangements for Lin Fei after returning to China and joining the team.

At the same time, five sets of reporters also came to Tsingbei University and interviewed the principal, Lin Fei's freshman head teacher and the school team coach,
Everyone's faces were radiant, and the whole Qingbei felt very honored to be able to get out of an NBA player like Lin Fei.

And the new batch of freshmen who joined the Qingbei University team also took Lin Fei as their example, looking forward to realizing their dreams of NBA one day.

"Brother Fei is my idol. If my three-pointers are half as accurate as his, it shouldn't be a problem to enter the CBA, right?"

"There are champions in Qingbei every year, but Brother Fei is the man who scored 29 points in the NBA Finals and contributed to the lore. It is rare to have one in 100 years!"

"When Fei Ge returns to China during the offseason and enters the national team, I will definitely go to the Workers' Stadium to ask him for his autograph. Wearing Fei Ge's autographed jersey, can I successfully dunk at 182?"

June 6, Detroit.

Palace of Auburn Hills.

Amidst the cheers and shouts of more than 2 Pistons home fans, the third game of the 2-03 NBA Finals officially kicked off.

As the so-called winning team does not need to change, Philip Sanders continued the starting lineup from the previous game tonight, and Lin Fei and "Madman" once again partnered in the backcourt.

Larry Brown's Pistons coaching team summed up the experience and lessons of G2's big reversal lore,
The five tigers of the Pistons have regained their strength and are bound to take advantage of the home court to win back a victory tonight.

Ben Wallace's mother and several brothers and sisters also came to the front row tonight to cheer for Big Ben and the Pistons.

As the most inspirational undrafted pick in the NBA, Ben Wallace was born in a broken slum family. He had no father since he was a child, and his mother had to raise 11 children with a meager income. Big Ben ranked 10th in the family.

Now that Big Ben has made a name for himself in the NBA and has received an annual salary of tens of millions, his mother and brothers and sisters are finally able to get out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Whenever he sees his mother and brothers and sisters sitting on the sidelines, Big Ben can gain endless strength, strengthen his inner beliefs, and use the toughest defense to win the game.

Rasheed Wallace's wife Fatima also came to the scene and warned her husband before the game that if she can't win tonight's game, then don't even think about touching her for a month.

After all, Detroit is considered a big city, and there are not a few stars who came to the sidelines to watch the game tonight.

In addition to some singers and movie stars in the entertainment industry, NBA stars Ray Allen and Reggie Miller, two three-point shooters, also attended the scene in person.
And his partner Mike Breen became the guest commentator for G3 of the finals tonight.

At the same time, Steve Nash, who has decided to join the Suns, also came to the sidelines to watch the game with his friend and his Mavericks teammate Dirk Nowitzki tonight.

As early as the warm-up session before the game, Nash had a proactive and enthusiastic chat with Lin Fei on the sidelines.

For Nash, who had no airs and was approachable, Lin Fei happily chatted a few more words.

I have to say that if you play well, your network will expand invisibly, and the stars can revolve around you.

Although Nash didn't say directly about recruiting Lin Fei, Lin Fei could tell that since Nash had already decided to join the Suns, coming tonight was definitely more than just watching the game.

In fact, Lin Fei has long thought about joining the Suns in the new season and partnering with Nash, a first-class point guard, in the backcourt, so that his off-ball potential on the offensive end will definitely be maximized.

But when you think that both of them are big colanders on the defensive end, the feeling of being stabbed by thousands of people in the backcourt is not good.

When defending against the Palace of Auburn Hills in the afternoon, Lin Fei had already added the 280 free attributes accumulated in the past two days to his defense.

But this time, the 280 points of free attributes only increased the defense value by 6 points, and the exchange rate was getting lower and lower.

The comprehensive defensive attribute has increased from the previous 46 points to 52 points, but the steal attribute has reached 65 points, which is still the strongest among the five defensive sub-items.

It is impossible to quickly improve the defense, only to develop wretchedly.

At least during this round of finals, it might be difficult for Lin Fei's defensive value to reach the passing line of 60 points.

However, with the offseason training and Olympic game rewards, I believe that before the start of the new season, the defensive attributes should be able to be raised to the mid-level level of NBA guards, right?
Thinking about it this way, it is actually a good choice to join the Suns and Nash. It depends on the sincerity of the Suns' management.

The time soon came to seven o'clock in the evening, and the game officially started.

The starting five for the Timberwolves are:
Point Guard (PG): Latrell Sprewell,

Shooting guard (SG): Lin Fei,

Small Forward (SF): Wally Szerbiak,

Power Forward (PF): Kevin Garnett,

Center (C): Olowokandi.

The starting five for the Detroit Pistons are:

Point Guard (PG): Chauncey Billups,

Shooting Guard (SG): Richard Hamilton,

Small Forward (SF): Tayshaun Prince,

Power Forward (PF): Rasheed Wallace,

Center (C): Ben Wallace.

In the opening game, Big Ben took the lead in jumping the ball, and the Pistons attacked.

The home fans of the Palace of Auburn Hills were aggressive, shouting to beat the Wolves and the Timberwolves.

Many fans even uttered insults with grim faces.

Sure enough, the fans of the Pistons are tough, otherwise they wouldn't provoke Artest to beat him to death.

Lin Fei looked towards the audience before the game, and there were still many English slogans and warning signs aimed at him:
"Lin, cheating is prohibited at the Palace of Auburn Hills!"

"There is only one strongest undrafted pick in the NBA Finals, and that is Ben Wallace!"

"The 1.3-second lore has exhausted all the luck that God gave Lin, and tonight's Celestial Dynasty's undrafted pick will be beaten back to its original form!"

on the field,
In the first round, Hamilton caught the ball and hit Lin Fei with his back. He made a jump shot with a quick stop and made a steady hit.

"Shh!"

Lin Fei's unqualified defense was really not enough on the stage of the finals. Facing the energetic Hamilton in the opening game, he could only barely defend, hoping that the opponent's shots were not accurate.

ball transfer,

The five tigers of the Pistons switched defenses tightly and smoothly, so Lin Fei naturally didn't get any chances in the positional battle.

But this time Lin Fei did not choose to squat in the bottom corner, but continued to do a pick-and-roll with the Wolf King who was holding the ball at the top of the arc.

The wolf king blocked Hamilton, and Rasheed Wallace immediately switched to Lin Fei's side.

Lin Fei moved a little far away this time, making Roaring Tianzun completely out of the defense of the Wolf King.

At this time, the Wolf King quickly pushed Hamilton away, made a big and small step, and made a decisive shot near the free throw line.

This kind of mid-distance, which is almost equivalent to an open space, and the wolf king who started with plenty of physical strength, is naturally familiar with it.

"Shh!"

Timberwolves (2): (2) Pistons.

Philip Sanders, who was standing on the sidelines, smiled and nodded. This is exactly one of the main tactics of the Timberwolves on the offensive end tonight.

After Lin Fei's 55-point crazy outside performance in the previous two games, the Detroit Pistons have been completely intimidated. Lin Fei's outside deterrence can be said to have reached the highest level in history.

Therefore, with all the five Pistons on the field tonight, it is difficult for Lin Fei to easily catch the ball and make a phone call.

Philip Sanders did the opposite, attracting Rasheed Wallace's defense after passing Lin Fei and the Wolf King's pick-and-roll,
Let the wolf king displace Hamilton at a high position, which will not only improve the wolf king's offensive efficiency, but also consume Hamilton's defensive energy and affect the offensive state.

Of course, this 2/4 position pick-and-roll tactic is very simple, and the Pistons will not be easily fooled.

In the previous two finals, Wolf King and Lin Fei also played similar cooperation, but the effect was not ideal.

Because under normal circumstances, after the pick-and-roll screen of Wolf King and Lin Fei, if the quality is not good, Hamilton can directly go around the defense,
And Rasheed Wallace was able to recover quickly to defend against the Wolf King only after a slight delay.

And Ben Wallace, who is in the low position, may also make up defenses at any time according to the situation.

Therefore, the high-position pick-and-roll cover tactics of the 2/4 positions have very high requirements for the quality of the pick-and-roll, and the chances are not absolute.
At the same time, Lin Fei must be able to completely involve Rasheed Wallace, so that the wolf king can gain a good matchup advantage.

But at least the pick-and-roll was played in the opening game, which is a good sign.

Sure enough, in the subsequent attack, Lin Fei and Wolf King played a high pick-and-roll with the ball,
This time Hamilton's pursuit was very timely. After a slight delay, Rasheed Wallace quickly returned to defend against the Wolf King.

And the wolf king's decisive high jumper was also successfully interfered by Rasheed Wallace.

"Bang!"

"Shh!"

But the ball hit the frame after hitting the board. The Wolf King made two consecutive shots in the opening game, showing a pretty good state and feel.

The Wolf King, who was returning to defense, also roared towards the audience on the left. A red-haired old monster standing in the second row watching the game was the "big bug" Rodman who was arguing with Garnett on social media.

"Kevin is struggling so much to beat Rasheed Wallace, and he has to use Lin's pick-and-roll to create dislocations. It's really embarrassing to the power forwards!"
