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

Knicks (3): (2) Lakers.

Returning to the offensive end, Lin Fei continued to contain Kobe on the outside. Marbury once again held the ball through the pick-and-roll against Dayao, who was changing defense.

This time Marbury did not choose a three-point shot from the outside, but was determined to surpass Yao Yiyi, allowing fans to see that he still has the speed and skill at his peak.

However, Dayao's defense this time was very precise. Although his body moved slowly, he judged Marbury's intention correctly and contracted in time. Coupled with the bonus of height, it was difficult for Marbury to break into the penalty area and lay up calmly.

Marbury, who was watching six routes, was no longer the lone wolf of the Timberwolves who only had eyes for the basket. Seeing that the breakthrough was unfavorable, he suddenly made a fake shot in the penalty area and passed the ball quickly to Zach Randolph on the right. On hand.

At this time, Randolph slid down the baseline to push away the opponent Al Jefferson, received Marbury's pass, and made a silky layup. The basketball fell steadily into the net.

"Shh!"

Although he is a stocky fat man with not too outstanding physical talent, Randolph's touch is first-class soft among inside players. In this regard, he is definitely not worse than Al Jefferson at his peak, not to mention the current Al Jefferson hasn't reached his peak yet.

After scoring the goal, Zach Randolph showed his domineering side, raised his biceps at Al Jefferson, pouted and raised his head to taunt:
"Boy, there is only one fate for you tonight, and that is to be beaten to death by me!"

While trash-talking, Zach Randolph also deliberately bumped Al Jefferson with his shoulder to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.

As the typical short and strong forwards in the league today, Randolph and Al Jefferson have too much in common. In the regular season this season, both of them also performed close to 20+10.
But in terms of game momentum and passion, Randolph clearly outshone Al Jefferson by half.

After all, Randolph has long been known for his violent temper, and this season he was selected as the Eastern All-Star. Even though he tends to have a lazy attitude and not active defense in some games,

But in the highest-end games like the Finals, once Randolph's potential is fully unleashed, Al Jefferson will never be able to match it.

Tonight, Isaiah Thomas also emphasized that Randolph can play more at this point in the starting matchup. If he can suppress Al Jefferson, the Lakers' No. 3 player, in terms of firepower, Characters, that will definitely reduce the pressure on Lin Fei and Marbury.

When the ball was transferred, Lin Fei did his best to treat the other person with his own methods. Since Kobe was guarding him tightly, he also responded to Kobe's most suffocating pursuit.

The old fish Fisher took on the responsibility that he should not bear and gave the ball to Dayao in the low post again. Artest quickly double-teamed him at this time, and Dayao could only give the ball out again.

Although this pass was a bit risky, there was no mistake at least. Richard Jefferson received Dayao's high pass at the three-point line in the bottom corner and quickly jumped up to shoot a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

After all, the goal's aim was still a little bit off. On the road trip and facing the madness of Madison Arena, Richard Jefferson would inevitably be a little nervous.

Although he entered the finals for two consecutive years with Jason Kidd's Nets at the beginning of his career, whether it was the Nets and Lakers or the Nets and Spurs, the suspense and excitement were far less than this year's finals. Lakers VS Knicks.

After all, after Jordan's Bulls dynasty ended, the competitive environment in the East was far inferior to that in the West. As the Eastern Conference champion, the Nets were almost beaten by the Lakers and Spurs in two finals.

Richard Jefferson's growth in the Nets was originally very rapid, and his personal talent and strength were fully realized.

However, two knee surgeries in the 06-07 season finally caused significant ups and downs in his personal status. Now that he has come to the Lakers, Jefferson's transformation has been relatively smooth, and he has made a perfect transition like a 3D player.

This season, Richard Jefferson averaged nearly 4 three-pointers per game for the Lakers, averaging 1.5 hits per game, with a shooting percentage of over 39%.

Although the small ball era has arrived, three-pointers still involve a lot of luck and uncertainty. After all, there is only one Lin Fei in this league.

So in Knicks head coach Isaiah Thomas' defensive play tonight,
Ron Artest will take on more mobile responsibilities to help defend the inside and outside lines. He can appropriately let go of Jefferson's outside three-pointers, but his air cuts must not be let go.

Although Jefferson missed the three-pointer, the long rebound was very delicate. Kobe just happened to throw Lin Fei away and rushed up, and he hit the ball to Dayao under the basket. The latter directly used his strong Shuo pushed his butt against Eddie Curry, grabbed the ball with both hands, jumped lightly, and smashed the ball into the basket.

"Boom!"

Kobe had +1 rebounds and Dayao scored +2.

Knicks (5): (4) Lakers.

Kobe, who turned back to defense, suddenly raised the corner of his mouth with a small smile of pride, raised his eyebrows at Lin Fei and said:
"Lin, as expected your rebounding is still so rubbish!"

Lin Fei stared, and his little nose couldn't help but twitch. Kobe, this guy, really doesn't know what to do.

Fortunately, his mid-range shooting attributes have been improved to 95. When the mid-range shooting points are full next season, he can happily start to increase his rebounding attributes...

When the time comes, I will have more triple-doubles in one season than Kobe Bryant in his career, and we will see what other tricks this guy has to make fun of him.

In front of the courtside commentary desk, Charles Barkley couldn't help but make fun of Lin Fei's rebounding:
"Lin's rebounding strength is as stable as his three-pointers!"

"If one day Lin grabs more rebounds than he hits three-pointers in a game, then I think the NBA has truly reached its finale!"

"Kenny, that day should never happen in my lifetime!"

"Charles, if so, would you be willing to kiss the little female donkey's fart again..."

"roll!"

On the court, the Knicks attacked, and this time the organizational task finally came to Lin Fei's hands.

Lin Fei held the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc. Facing Kobe's frontal one-on-one defense, he continued to dribble to seek opportunities. At the same time, he also lamented the airtight defense of the Black Mamba.

Compared with last season, Kobe's defensive strength has obviously improved.

In other words, it is precisely because of tonight's finals that Kobe has unleashed his most terrifying potential.

In the selection of the best defensive player this season, Kobe also squeezed into the top five, sharing the first defensive lineup with Lin Fei, Howard, Artest and others.

It has always been difficult for outside players to get DPOY. Otherwise, with Kobe's career defense and hard work, he would definitely be qualified to win his own Best Defensive Player trophy.

"Whoosh!"

During the sharp dribbling change, Lin Fei's gaze was like an eagle's eye, and he made a quick through pass like a scalpel. The ball flew past Kobe's side and went straight into his throat.

Eddie Curry, who rolled over in the low post to get rid of Dayao, successfully rushed to the basket, caught the ball and dunked in one go.

"Boom!"

In terms of speed and explosive power, Eddie Curry is naturally ahead of Yao Yao. Just now, Lin Fei's long pass was timed just right.

"Lin's passing is really like a scalpel. Don't forget, he is the league's assist leader this season!"

"It seems that Lin's desire to score at the beginning is not high, but as long as he can drive the Knicks' offensive state, the home team will have won 70% of this game!"

"Once the critical moment is reached, the sword in Lin's hand will become truly sharp!"

The Lakers attacked again. This time Yao was double-teamed in the low post, made a mistake when passing the ball, and was directly slapped to the ground by Artest.

"Snapped!"

The ball was quickly given to Stephon Marbury, and the Knicks' counterattack was overwhelming, with thousands of horses galloping into the attack. "Whoosh whoosh!"

Lin Fei threw away Kobe from the side and rushed to the front, but under Kobe's relentless pursuit, he was never able to get enough distance from the opponent.

"Whoosh!"

After rushing into the frontcourt, Lin Fei made a sharp reverse run like an ankle finisher. Lin Fei crossed into the middle to receive Marbury's pass and went straight to the basket.

However, Kobe quickly changed direction and caught up, not giving Lin Fei any breathing room, always ready to send a flying hat behind him.

Lin Fei glanced back from the corner of his eye, leaped into the air, faked a pass, and successfully deceived Kobe's flying defense, throwing the ball lightly above his head and behind him.

Ron Artest, who quickly followed up, was in a brave and menacing state. He jumped up behind Kobe, grabbed the ball with both hands and violently smashed it.

"Boom!"

Lin Fei sent another wonderful pass, allowing the Knicks to counterattack with a fast break, and the home atmosphere at Madison Arena reached a climax in an instant.

"OMG, this counterattack is so cool, Kobe is even fooled!"

"Artest has come to our Knicks. I feel that people are much more cheerful. This state is worthy of an All-Star!"

"The Knicks' fast break really has an indescribable magic that can make everyone on the team sprint with full blood!"

"Every player is in such good condition. It seems that Lin's score won't be too high tonight, but assists are definitely indispensable!"

"Lin no longer needs to prove himself by scoring. After all, he is the master who scored 71 points in a single game in the finals!"

"Being the loser's FMVP in last season's finals was already Lin's most incredible performance in the finals. This year's Lin and the Knicks, regardless of good or bad data, winning and championship are their only goals!"

Knicks (9): (4) Lakers.

In the tense and fierce game, the point difference gradually widened, and the Knicks' initiative was also strongly demonstrated.

When it came to the finals, the "Zen Master" who had always been a Buddhist began to become nervous and quickly chose to call a long timeout to adjust his offensive strategy.

After returning from the timeout, Kobe finally couldn't hold back his desire to score. He crossed the screen with Fisher on the outside to catch the ball. Facing Lin Fei's tight defense, he summoned Dayao's pick-and-roll and misplaced Eddie Curry. Sharp change of direction and acceleration, directly into the penalty area.

"Whoosh!"

I have to mention that with Yao's size and size, his pick-and-roll quality is really good, which obviously delayed Lin Fei's opportunity to bypass the defense.

Kobe Bryant, who entered the penalty area, faced Artest's defense, dribbled one step laterally, stopped for a jumper, and shot half a basket. The action was clean and neat, and the basketball hit the net.

"Shh!"

Kobe, who is about to reach his thirtieth year, is more mature in personal skills and playing style than during his three consecutive championships, reducing risks and inefficient solo battles.

"Kobe is really very strong. With Yao's pick-and-roll, even Lin Fei will have a hard time limiting his scoring!"

"Coach Zhang, in your opinion, how should the Knicks deal with Kobe and Dayao's pick-and-roll?"

"It's actually very simple. It's the lesser of both worlds. The Knicks should try to keep Kobe and Dayao farther away from the basket. They can't let Kobe break through easily, and then switch back as soon as possible, even if the Lakers choose The shooting percentage is also relatively low!”

As a senior Chinese gold medal NBA commentator and retired national player, Director Zhang has definitely reached the level of a head coach.
During the Knicks' subsequent defense, Eddie Curry intentionally retreated, and Lin Fei also bypassed the defense in advance, allowing Kobe to miss his three-pointer from the outside.

However, the long rebound was once again caught by Kobe who was actively fighting for it. He rushed into the crowd and flew to grab it. He forced a layup against Randolph's defense, causing the opponent's shooting hitter to foul.

"Beep!"

Kobe was in high spirits when he stepped to the free throw line and easily accepted two free throws.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Knicks (9): (8) Lakers.

Driven by Kobe Bryant's step forward and scoring 4 points in a row, the Lakers quickly caught up with the score difference.

"The game lasted less than 3 minutes, and Kobe had already grabbed two offensive rebounds. Haha, it seems that the old guy Phil Jackson also caught Lin's only weakness in defense!"

"That's true. Lin has shown his absolute DPOY style in terms of pursuit defense, single defense, switching defense, steals and blocks. But it has to be mentioned that for several consecutive seasons, his rebounding has always been It’s all terrible.”

"Sometimes Kenny and I feel strange. With Lin's current athletic ability and basketball IQ, coupled with his broad vision, why is he not so bad at rebounding?"

"In terms of rebounding and blocking, Lin seems to have quickly turned into an ordinary player, and his talent has quickly dissipated!"

"Kobe has already scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. It seems that if he maintains his excellent form against Lin tonight, he will most likely get a triple-double!"

"LeBron James has had a triple-double against Lin and the Knicks, but it's not enough to lead the team to victory!"

"No, you have to know that this is a triple-double in the finals. In the entire history of the NBA, few people can do it!"

On the court, I watched Kobe score 4 points in a row and use offensive rebounds to challenge him head-on.

Lin Fei finally responded with a strong counterattack. He received a pass from Marbury in the frontcourt. Facing Kobe's continuous cross-step changes, he half-turned at the hip and then accelerated sharply. In an instant, he rushed halfway past Kobe. Bit.

Gritting his teeth, Kobe slid sideways to catch up, always sticking to Lin Fei's breakthrough route like a dog-skin plaster.

Half a step into the penalty area against Kobe Bryant, Lin Fei suddenly stopped and pressed the center without any warning. He changed direction with his hips and instantly shook off Kobe Bryant and turned to the left.
This emergency stop and crotch change of direction can be said to show Lin Fei's top-notch man-ball combination ability. Even Kobe was thrown more than a meter away.

Kobe, whose pupils dilated rapidly, quickly turned over and jumped again, but his legs couldn't keep up with the instructions of his brain immediately.
Lin Fei adjusted his posture near the free throw line and rose up from the ground like a giant. Even though there was no need to lean back at all, he still deliberately made a large backward movement this time.

Looking down at Kobe who was half a beat late in counterattacking, Lin Fei controlled his core functions very well in the air, and even blinked at Mamba before calmly moving his wrist to shoot.

"Shh!"

"Corvo, how would you rate me for leaning back?"

At this moment, the system panel lit up in Lin Fei's mind, and his CIC attribute jumped directly from 95 to 96 points at this moment.

At the same time, the familiar voice of the system suddenly sounded like a reunion after a long absence:
[Ding, congratulations to the host for hitting a fadeaway jumper against Kobe Bryant in the finals, triggering the system's random task: hit 15 mid-range fadeaway 2-pointers tonight, and the system will reward the host with a peak Rodman rebound. Experience card can only be used in a single game! 】

Lin Fei, who landed gracefully, was immediately interested. Peak Rodman rebounding experience card? Doesn't this mean that I can experience Rodman's rebounding ability at his peak?
A single game is enough. He is a seven-time rebounding champion, so asking him to grab 20 rebounds in a game is not too much, right? This horse riding is an absolute slap in the face!
He has been struggling in rebounding for five years. Does anyone know how he spent these five years?
15 fadeaway mid-range shots? Little Karami, Lin Fei must eat these 30 points tonight with the blood of the Black Mamba.
