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

After the start of the second quarter, because the team held a 15-point lead, Isaiah Thomas was more flexible in his employment, allowing Lin Fei to rest on the bench for at least 5 minutes.

Let Stephon Marbury play with a lineup that includes Quentin Richardson, Trevor Ariza, David Lee and Zach Randolph.

Regardless of whether they are starters or substitutes, the Knicks players, with the exception of Artest, are basically old players who participated in the Finals last year.
In last year's Finals, the Knicks lost to the Timberwolves at the last moment of the tiebreaker, which planted the seeds of unwillingness and revenge in every Knicks player.

Now that the Knicks hold the match point, there is a high probability that they will officially win the championship tonight, fulfilling last year's regret. Therefore, it is not only Lin Fei, Marbury, Eddie Curry, Randolph and others who are starting,
The players on the bench, including young Ariza and David Lee, middle-aged Richardson and Nate Robinson, are also working hard to show their best tonight. The championship lived up to expectations.

When Marbury came up, he passed the ball to Quentin Richardson in the corner during the breakthrough, assisting the latter's three-point shooter.

"Shh!"

Then Trevor Ariza also completed a steal on the defensive end, connected with Stephon Marbury in the counterattack fast break, entered the penalty area and dunked for another two points.

"Boom!"

Less than a minute into the second quarter, the Knicks' rotation continued the ferocity of the starting lineup, going 1-5, bringing the lead to 0+ in an instant.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson frowned, but did not call a timeout immediately.

Kobe, who had only been on the bench for two minutes, couldn't help but start fighting immediately, gritting his teeth to go on the field early.

The depth of the Lakers' bench is indeed a big problem. In addition, Dayao's physical fitness can only support him to play less than 40 minutes in each game. Therefore, after this round of the finals where the bayonet was red,
Kobe's average playing time in each of the first four games was more than 45 minutes, and the total rest time in the four games was less than 10 minutes.

Lin Fei, on the other hand, averaged only 38 minutes per game. With sufficient physical fitness, his offensive and defensive efficiency was naturally one step ahead of Kobe.

"Kobe's situation in this year's finals makes me feel very much like Lin Fei in last year's finals. Things have turned around, and he's finally at my home!"

"The Lakers overextended their main players' playing time, which directly led to their weak performance at critical moments in the final quarter, but this is indeed helpless. Kobe Bryant in this round of finals is already good enough, but if he wants to win the championship, he has never been able to do it. Not one person can do it!”

"Just like Lin Fei last year, his performance in the finals is an eternal classic, and his 71 points in a single game is unprecedented, but in the end he still fell short of the championship!"

"Yes, Kobe's performance in this year's finals was equally top-notch, but it was not enough for him to win the loser's FMVP like Lin Fei last year!"

On the court, Dayao hit a jump shot from the high post to help the Lakers temporarily stop the bleeding.

With Kobe Bryant's early appearance and the absence of Lin Fei's strict frontal defense, the Lakers began to show signs of counterattack, but the Knicks' role players were also playing well.

"Boom!"

In an offensive breakthrough, "Little Potato" Nate Robinson directly passed Yao and dunked. This ball once again ignited the manic atmosphere in Madison Square Garden.

"As expected of the three-time slam dunk king, Nate's shot was so explosive!"

"Little Tudou and Dayao stand together. They definitely have the cutest height difference in the NBA, right?"

Looking back at the Lakers' offense, facing the noise in the sky, Kobe's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he dribbled the ball to the basket. Under the double-teaming of Ariza, Quentin and David Lee, he forcefully pushed the ball away. into the basket.

"Shh!"

"Beep!"

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded, which also caused a foul on David Lee's shooting hitter, 2+1.

"Kobe's 1-on-3 2+1 is really difficult. He can definitely be selected as one of the top ten goals in this game, right?"

"We must applaud Kobe. No matter what the final result of this round of finals is, he deserves to be the new qualified leader of the Los Angeles Lakers!"

Even without Lin Fei on the court, the Knicks' lead was always double digits.

About seven minutes into the second quarter, Lin Fei finally returned to the field amidst the cheers of the audience. The Knicks' first attack was to force a three-pointer from the top of the arc against Kobe Bryant's one-on-one defense. Take action.

"Shh!"

A solid hit.

"Lin came up and hit a difficult step-back three-pointer against Kobe. His personal score tonight has reached 16 points, and his total score in the finals has also reached 1001 points, officially breaking the 1000 mark in the finals. Points mark!”

Lin Fei's return brought the Knicks' momentum on both offense and defense to its peak again. Facing Kobe before the end of the first half, he once again grabbed 4 rebounds, which directly converted the Knicks into 8 points.

At the same time, under the defense of Lin Fei's top DPOY, even if Kobe wants to save the team, he will still be unable to do it.

Even the most advantageous rebound was suddenly blown away by Lin Fei. For Kobe, his situation will only become more difficult tonight.

With the help of veteran Fisher's two three-pointers before the end of the first half, the Lakers kept the point difference within 20 points.

Knicks (68): (50) Lakers.

After halftime, the Knicks entered the intermission with an 18-point advantage, and the situation was good for winning the championship.

林飞第二节出战7分钟，6投全中，三分2中2，罚球2中2，高效拿下16分，上半场的个人得分已经来到了29分，外加10篮板7助攻3抢断2封盖。

"It's really incredible. Lin actually grabbed 10 rebounds in the first half, including 5 offensive rebounds, and got a double-double of 29+10 in advance!"

"I highly doubt that Lin stole Rodman's rebounding ability at his peak. The way he kept grabbing offensive rebounds over Kobe Bryant tonight really looked like the 7-time rebounding champion Dennis Rodman!"

"Yes, you must know that Dennis Rodman is the 7th rebounding champion, but his height is only 2 meters, and he is only a little taller than Lin. He relies entirely on his top rebounding sense and positioning ability!"

"Lin's 10 rebounds in the first half of tonight's game fully demonstrated his top ability in blocking and predicting the placement of rebounds. This has never happened in his previous games. Signs!"

"According to Lin's miraculous state, it seems that he will get a triple-double early in the third quarter!"

"In the history of the finals, it is not easy to get a triple-double!"

"According to statistics, in the NBA's 60-year history, there have only been 26 individual triple-doubles in the Finals, shared equally among 15 stars. Among them, Magic Johnson has the most triple-doubles in the Finals. Johnson’s 8 times!”

During the halftime break, the Knicks fans in the auditorium on all sides were extremely excited and had already begun to celebrate the arrival of the championship in advance.

"According to the situation in the first half, we will definitely have no problem winning the championship tonight. The Lakers rely too much on Kobe and Dayao. Their efficiency will inevitably drop even further in the second half. The role players are also very smart, and it is impossible to reverse the score. of!"

"There is definitely no suspense about this championship. The Knicks' third championship in team history was supposed to come last year, but it was delayed by a year!"

"It's really strange why Lin's rebounding suddenly exploded today. It makes me even more sad about last year's Finals tiebreaker. If Lin could have such a strong rebounding ability in that game, our Knicks would have already improved last year. Won the championship!”

"It seems that the motivation brought by the championship made the Knicks players play so well tonight. They deserve the honor of the championship!" "Lin actually scored 29 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists at halftime. , as long as there are three more assists, it will be a triple-double!”

"This is Lin's first triple-double in his career. To get a triple-double on the night of winning the championship is even more extraordinary!"

In the square outside the stadium, more than 5 enthusiastic fans gathered at this time, surrounding Madison Square Garden.

Hundreds of staff preparing to set off fireworks during the championship moment have been arranged at several important locations throughout New York.

Looking around, among the densely packed Knicks fans, there are countless people wearing No. 22 jersey.

"The regretful loss in the tiebreaker of last year's finals is still vivid in my mind. After a whole year of waiting, we finally waited until today!"

"The Knicks have really become a lot stronger this season. The current Knicks would definitely be able to defeat the Timberwolves in the Finals last year!"

"Lin suddenly exploded with rebounds tonight. This is even more incredible than winning the championship. Looking at the situation, it will at least be a 40+ triple-double!"

"Once Kobe can't take advantage of the rebounds, he really won't have any advantage against Lin Fei!"

"The combination of Kobe and Dayao is indeed capable of winning the championship, but they have no choice but to meet the strongest Lin and the Knicks!"

After the second half of the game started, the Knicks team continued to play excitedly and efficiently, completely suppressing the Los Angeles Lakers on both offense and defense.

Lin Fei faced the double-teams of Kobe Bryant and Richard Jefferson on the offensive end, and with the help of Eddie Curry's screen, he launched a self-throwing and self-stealing flying dunk, which shocked the whole game.

Dayao's pass was successfully intercepted by Lin Fei. He leaped up to complete the steal. After landing, he directly passed a quarterback-style long pass to assist "Little Potato" Nate Robison, who rushed to the frontcourt in advance. Easily complete fast break dunks.

"Boom!"

This assist also allowed Lin Fei to get 10 assists ahead of schedule. His personal data has reached 32 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, becoming another superstar with a triple-double in the NBA Finals.

Seeing that the third quarter was coming to an end, the Lakers were still 20 points behind. Kobe and Dayao inevitably became impatient, and the team's tactical coordination began to make more mistakes.

"Snapped!"

As Lin Fei made his sixth steal of the night, he directly chased and hit a long three-pointer in the counterattack fast break.

"Shh!"

The timer showed 1 minute and 06 seconds in the third quarter, and the Knicks were already leading the Lakers by 24 points.

Knicks (92): (68) Lakers.

"Zen Master" called a timeout and could only continue to comfort the players to stabilize their mentality, forget about the score on the scoreboard, and fight for dignity until the last moment.

In front of the commentary desk, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith also applauded the Knicks' fierce offense.

"The balance of victory is tilting more and more toward the Knicks. It is becoming more and more difficult for the Lakers to reverse course!"

"The latest statistics show that Lin has scored 35 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists and 6 steals. Not only did he get the first triple-double of his career, but he also got the 27th triple-double in the history of the NBA Finals!"

"And Lin has already had 6 steals, which can even be said to be a quasi-quadruple-double performance in the finals!"

"With the current 35 points tonight, Lin's total score in the Finals has reached 1020 points, not only surpassing Shaquille O'Neal's 1016 points, but also surpassing the Celtics star Havlicek's 1018 points! "

"Soared to eighth place in the NBA Finals scoring list, and is also currently the number one!"

At this time, the latest total score list of the NBA Finals was also displayed on the high-definition four-sided screen of the stadium in real time:

First place: Jerry West, 1679 points.

Second place: "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 1317 points.

Third place: Michael Jordan, 1176 points.

Fourth place: Elgin Baylor, 1161 points.

Fifth place: Bill Russell, 1151 points.

Sixth place: Sam Jones, 1143 points.

Seventh place: Tom Heinsohn, 1037 points.

Eighth place: Lin Fei, 1020 points.

Ninth place: John Havlicek, 1018 points.

Tenth place: Shaquille O'Neal, 1016 points.

On the total scoring list of the Finals, only Lin Fei and O'Neal are currently active players, and Lin Fei became the youngest player in NBA history to score 23 points in the Finals at the age of 360 years and 1000 days.

"It feels like we completely crushed the Lakers tonight. The Lakers can win a game in G4, which is a return to glory!"

"Kobe was too tired, and Dayao couldn't play for too long. The efficiency in the second half was obviously not as good as the first. In addition, the role players' touch was good and bad. This Lakers still has a lot of problems!"

"After this round of the finals, Lin has completely overwhelmed Kobe. From now on, he will be the undisputed number one shooting guard in the league!"

"Lin's scoring average in this round of the finals is 40+ again. The finals MVP is definitely not available, and there is a high probability that it will be unanimous!"

In a luxury box on the roof of the stadium, Lakers owner Jerry Buss also shook his head and sighed. It seems that the Lakers can only wait for a comeback next season.

Although they are one breath away from winning the championship, the Lakers have made significant progress this season, and reaching the finals is the best proof.

Now that Kobe and Dayao have stable contracts with the team, coupled with the growth of young players, Jerry Buss believes that by properly strengthening the bench during the offseason, the Lakers will definitely become stronger next season. ,

Then, like the Knicks this year, regain the glory they lost last year.

After the final quarter started, countless Knicks fans at the scene were filled with excitement. They kept shouting for the Knicks championship and cheered for every player on the court.

After Lin Fei played the entire third quarter, he did not rest in the final quarter, but chose to continue playing. This was obviously because he wanted to increase the score in one go and ensure the championship in advance. (End of chapter)
