Lakers offense.
Fisher continued to target Lin Fei's point. After a feint, he dribbled the ball and moved laterally to get enough distance from Lin Fei, and easily shot from the middle distance on the left.
"Clang!"
But Laoyu's opening touch was not good, probably because he focused all his energy on defense.
Olowokandi was replaced, and the Timberwolves only had one inside post on the court, so they naturally suffered a loss in rebounding.
The offensive rebound was obtained by O'Neal, Garnett immediately came up to defend, and Malone was released under the basket.
O'Neal stuck out his big butt and made a deft pass to the ground. After Malone got the ball, he jumped up and was about to dunk.
However, a sharp figure emerged from the diagonal stab, and it was Timberwolves No. 10 Szebiak.
"Snapped!"
Szebiak actually blocked Karl Malone.
The Timberwolves mainly play one big and four small, accelerating the offensive and defensive rhythm. The 2.03-meter Szebiak is the second tallest player on the team after the Wolf King. He knows that he must assume more low defensive responsibilities.
Although he is white, Szebiak's body is quite strong, weighing 110 kilograms, which is stronger than many power forwards.
Of course, Szebiak's ability to block the shot on an oblique shot was only possible because Malone was 40 years old. His footsteps, jumping height, and explosiveness in dunking were not as good as before.
The basketball was slapped directly into the hands of Timberwolves point guard Darrick Martin. This was a good opportunity to counterattack.
At this time, Lin Fei had already run forward, but Fisher was hot on his heels.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Fei, who had crossed the center line, suddenly made a sharp reverse run and ran straight into the middle from the right side of the court.
Lin Fei's comeback was so sudden that Fisher couldn't react at all, so he subconsciously raised his hand to block him.
"Snapped!"
It was not too serious a physical contact, and Fisher's palm obviously scraped Lin Fei's face.
Lin Fei only felt a soreness in his nose, but his body shot out like a bow and arrow.
"Daric, here!"
Darrick Martin, who was counterattacking with the ball, saw Lin Fei successfully get rid of Fisher. There was no defensive player in front of him. This was an excellent 1-on-0 layup opportunity.
Although he was only a third-rate point guard, Darrick Martin was also a point guard after all. The ball was quickly passed to Lin Fei. Lin Fei took a step forward and just got the basketball.
This position is still more than 3 meters away from the three-point line at the top of the arc, but Lin Fei's choice exceeded everyone's expectations.
Just when everyone thought he would go straight to the basket and score easily, even Fisher gave up pursuit and subconsciously ran towards the basket to intercept.
Lin Fei made slight adjustments on the spot, stared at the basket, took a deep breath, pulled up and shot.
This position is a full 12.5 meters away from the basket. Lin Fei's white AJ11 basketball shoes are just on the edge of the basketball logo of the Lakers' center circle.
In fact, Lin Fei also has no absolute confidence in the LOGO three-pointer from such a distance. Even with a three-point value of 99, it is impossible to make a super long shot from 12 meters away every time.
Lin Fei also tried three-pointers from this distance in training, and his hit rate was only 60%.
But the key is that Lin Fei has no dribbling ability, so catching the ball and shooting is still the best option!
"OMG, is this kid crazy? He actually shot a super long three-pointer from this position?"
In front of the live commentary desk, TN·T's famous commentator Charles Barkley exclaimed, slapped the table and shouted, but the next second.
"Uh-huh!"
The sound of the basketball hitting the net was clear and sweet, and the expression on Barkley's shocked face froze:
"OMG, what a...good shot!"
His partner Kenny Smith also laughed and said: "Amazing Lin, he has continued his fiery touch!"
"Charles, as a Chinese player, I wonder if Lin will be like Dayao and let you lose the bet and kiss the donkey's skin drum again! The fans are very much looking forward to it!"
"Oh no, Kenny, from this second on, I have transformed into Lin Chui!"
"Wait, what's going on on the court? Lin has a nosebleed?"
The referee immediately suspended the game. Blood is not allowed on the NBA court.
Obviously, Fisher's hand scratched Lin Fei's nose just now, and the force was not light, causing two nosebleeds.
This was originally an obvious foul, but the referee did not call it because the Timberwolves were in an absolutely favorable situation for fast break.
Phillip Sanders was shocked and quickly asked the team doctor to check Lin Fei's condition, fearing that there was something wrong.
The cleaning staff also quickly came to wipe the blood stains dripping on the floor.
Lin Fei was fine and his nosebleed stopped quickly.
"Lin, you are so amazing. You can get in from such a distance?"
"Lin, playing with you, this assist is so great! Haha!"
"Derek's defensive moves are too dirty. It seems I have to shock him!"
"Wally, you were very tough in blocking the shot just now. Let's work hard together. I believe we can win!"
Lakers (11): (10) Timberwolves.
Lin Fei made two magical three-pointers in a row after coming on the court, allowing the Timberwolves to quickly close the gap.
At this time, the fans in the stands on all sides of the Staples Arena were stunned.
What's going on?
Why did the score catch up all of a sudden?
This Timberwolves No. 22 is too scary to shoot three-pointers, right?
On the high-definition four-sided screen above everyone's heads, different camera positions were used to clearly play back the entire process of Lin Fei's LOGO three-pointer.
When Lin Fei jumped up and took a long shot, the blood flowing out of his nostrils happened to splash into the air, like a blooming blood lotus.
"OMG, this super long three-pointer in slow motion is a bit cool. A bloody three-pointer?"
"It's over, it's over. Kobe's fast break dunk with a change of hands, Lin's super long three-pointer will take away the top ten goals!"
"There was a 12-meter three-pointer in the last game, and tonight's one is even more exaggerated. Where did Lin come from? Is he really a half-court shot with no dead ends?"
"Why wasn't a foul called for Fisher's slap in the face just now? This was a missed call. If a foul was called, Lin's three-pointer would not count!"
"I can't stand it. Don't let this kid come in again. Damn it, it's really scary!"
In the VIP seat in the front row of the court, Amber Heard couldn't help but exclaimed, her mouth opened in an O shape, just enough to fit in a banana.
"Scarlett, this No. 22 is very handsome. I think he plays better than Kobe. You see he can shoot the ball from so far away. It is difficult for others to put the ball in the basket!"
Scarlett Johansson pursed her lips and was unconvinced:
"This Lin is not famous at all. He is a few levels behind Kobe. He is just lucky. He will definitely not be able to make the next three-pointer!"
Sitting in the second row of seats behind the Timberwolves bench, Little Swift was really dumbfounded at this time.
Why should she bet with Lin Fei? Do you think this can affect the opponent's game state?
It seems that I am still too whimsical!
In the mind of this musical talent, she had already begun to think about what kind of song she should write for Lin Fei.
As early as the age of 11, Swift had already shown outstanding musical talent, composed several folk songs and sent them to record companies.
Swift's parents are very supportive of Swift's music dream. They accompanied her to watch the Lakers game tonight. The middle-aged man sitting next to her said,
Swift's father, Scott Swift, is a Merrill Lynch stock investor.
Lin Fei, who came back from the timeout and re-entered the court, also extended two fingers to Swift behind him.
Little Taylor's pretty face turned red. Although she was likely to lose the bet, a sense of ignorant joy arose in her heart.
Fisher, the veteran, became more and more desperate in his pursuit, and other Lakers players also paid more attention when marking the man with the ball, always paying attention to cutting off the passing line.
"Madman" saw through a risky pass by Kobe. After stealing the ball, he launched a fast break and easily scored two points.
The game quickly reached the last minute of the first quarter. After Lin Fei scored two three-pointers in a row, he did not get any more chances to shoot.
However, his ability to contain his sharp movements was also displayed, making the Timberwolves' two main players, the Wolf King and the "Madman", easier on the offensive end.
On the defensive end, Lin Fei's colander attribute will still be constantly targeted, but the Timberwolves used zone defense to defend the basket, and the Lakers' outside touch was not good in the first quarter.
Lakers (25): (22) Timberwolves.
The points difference is always tight.
On the timer, there were only 0 minutes and 51 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.
Timberwolves offense.
Seeing that the first quarter of the game was about to end, Lin Fei also failed to fire for 8 consecutive minutes. Fisher, who was tired from running, somewhat lost his concentration.
Lin Fei, who was waiting for the opportunity, seized this opportunity and unsheathed the sharp blade with hidden edge again.
"Whoosh!"
Another solid cover came from his friend Szebiak. This time Lin Fei penetrated from the bottom corner at a 45-degree angle. He was very fast. After receiving the ball from the Wolf King, he tilted his body and threw the ball.
Whoosh!
"Uh-huh!"
Two orioles are chirping in the green willows. If we score three points, we will leave.
There was an explosion on the Timberwolves bench on the sidelines. Hassell and Floyd jumped up, screaming and waving the towels in their hands into propellers.
Head coach Flip Saunders is very excited about his new style. His tactical arrangements have never been as successful as they were tonight.
When the Lakers put more defensive attention on Lin Fei, Lin Fei restrained his sharpness and used running positions to contain the Lakers' defense, giving the Wolf King and "Madman" a chance to fight alone.
Once the Lakers' defense becomes slightly relaxed and distracted on Lin Fei, he can suddenly appear like a steady killer assassin and deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.
This is the best position Flip Saunders gave Lin Fei in the team: killer assassin!
Five sets of the Chinese dynasty.
Director Zhang’s voice was extremely excited, and the worries in his heart had long since disappeared:
"Oh my god, in the third one, before the end of the quarter, Lin Fei hit three more three-pointers, and he still made all three!"
"Who else dares to say that Lin Fei's 7-for-7 three-point performance in the last game was all due to luck? Who else?"
"If we keep playing like this, Lin Fei's worth next season will start at least 5 million US dollars!"
