Looking at Ben Wallace who turned around and walked towards the tunnel, the joy of the Wolves' victory instantly dissipated. The corners of his mouth twitched and hesitant expression appeared on his face.
Let's talk about the matter. If it were a one-on-one challenge, he really couldn't do the job. The Wolf King still knew this.
Lin Fei saw through the Wolf King's thoughts at a glance. He walked up with a smile and did not expose it. However, with just two understatement words, the Wolf King dispelled his doubts:
"Kevin, don't be like Ben, he is just trying to provoke you!"
"You must know that even if there is a fight between players after the game, if the situation is serious, if it is exposed and amplified by the media, it is still possible to be suspended!"
"You are the core of the Timberwolves' offense and defense. You are just the defensive core of the Pistons. If he drags you into the water, guess who will take advantage in the end?"
After hearing Lin Fei's words of comfort, the Wolf King suddenly became enlightened and nodded quickly: "Lin, you are right, I can't be provoked by this kid! I absolutely can't go to this underground parking lot!"
"Winning the championship is our only goal now, ahem...but having said that, I'm not really afraid of that guy Ben!"
Seeing the Wolf King pretending to be tough, Lin Fei secretly smiled in his heart. The Wolf King was indeed worthy of his reputation.
"certainly!"
At this time, Kaka, who was wearing a black suit, also stood up and walked onto the court. He took the initiative to come to Lin Fei and said hello with a smile:
"Hi, Lin, it's a great honor to witness this wonderful NBA Finals live. Your performance tonight may be something I will never forget!"
The moment Lin Fei turned his head and saw Kaka, he was also amazed by the appearance of this handsome Italian and strong mixed-race guy.
This was the first time that Lin Fei felt that his appearance was slightly threatened.
The 22-year-old Kaka is at the peak of her appearance. Her high nose bridge and chin are somewhat similar to Szebiak, but her eyes are deeper and more charming, and her mouth shape is also somewhat sexy.
Although Lin Fei is not a football fan, AC Milan's Kaká still knows about it. It is said that if Kaká had not been injured, Melo would have to step aside at his peak.
"Haha, Kaldor, maybe you should remove the 'maybe'!"
Lin Fei's confident humor also made Kaka feel a little closer. The two laughed and chatted for a few more words, and then took a group photo in front of the media's cameras.
Kaka, who is 1.86 meters tall, stood next to Lin Fei, but was only half a head shorter. The good looks of the two handsome guys attracted the attention of a large number of female fans at the scene.
In the end, Lin Fei took off the Timberwolves No. 22 jersey he was wearing, signed it himself, and gave it to Kaka as a gift.
Kaka accepted the jersey very happily, and then smiled and said: "Lin, I will definitely keep this jersey well. Maybe in a few years, he can auction it for at least hundreds of thousands of dollars!"
Lin Fei didn't do loss-making business. He smiled and raised his eyebrows and said, "When you get back to Italy, don't forget to send me an autographed jersey too!"
After chatting with Kaka, "Big Bird" Larry Bird also put aside his airs as general manager and took the initiative to talk to Lin Fei.
"Lin, your performance on both offense and defense tonight impressed me with admiration. This round of the finals seems to be even more exciting than I imagined!"
"Are you interested in joining the Pacers? The salary is negotiable!"
Lin Fei also knows very well that tonight's game has helped him gain a higher value, and joining the Pacers is actually a good choice.
Although Reggie Miller is already aging in the current Pacers team, Ou and Artest are at their peak. If they can get another All-Star point guard,
Then coupled with his off-ball master, the overall strength can definitely be improved to a higher level. In the Eastern Conference, it seems to be more competitive than the Pistons and the Heat who acquired O'Neal.
By the way, there is also the "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson. This damn lineup is absolutely luxurious.
Of course, the premise is that the Auburn Hills Palace incident at the beginning of next season will not happen again, because this catastrophe completely destroyed the Pacers' hopes of winning the championship.
But Lin Fei didn't dare to overestimate the butterfly effect he had experienced through time travel. The incident at the Auburn Hills Palace might be an inevitable fate for the walkers.
Besides, Larry Bird and McHale have been teammates for many years. These two guys are now general managers. Don't they have similar temperaments and philosophies?
"Mr. Bird, I am very honored to be personally recruited by you. I believe everything is possible, but please contact my agent Qin Lai for detailed discussions!"
After returning to the locker room,
Lin Fei quickly took a shower, put on a pair of Nike sportswear, and then attended the post-game press conference with head coach Flip Saunders.
Lin Fei didn't want to participate in this occasion. Wouldn't it be nice for him to shoot 200 more three-pointers?
But Lin Fei also knew the importance of his performance tonight to the team, and he had to attend.
Phillip Sanders only brought two players, Lin Fei and Wolf King, to the press conference, which shows the outstanding and heavyweight performance of the two players tonight.
Lin Fei scored 26 points and 1 assist, made 7 of 9 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws. He completely defeated the Pistons scoring leader Hamilton, who made 6 of 13 shots, 14 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.
The Wolves had 24 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks. In terms of statistics, one person singled out the Pistons' double Wallace. Of course, Olowokandi's dirty work was indispensable.
Lin Fei and Wolf King scored 50 points in total, while the Timberwolves only scored 86 points in total.
"Kevin, how do you plan to respond to Ben Wallace's underground parking challenge?"
After some enlightenment from Lin Fei, Garnett's mind suddenly became more active and he said confidently into the microphone:
"My performance on the court tonight was as good as the two Wallaces of the Pistons. Now you want to challenge me alone?"
"This is simply an insult to me. At least Rashid should be added. It is only fair that I fight one against two!"
The media reporters burst into laughter. After hearing what the Wolf King said, Lin Fei also called him a good guy. This is using the cruelest words to do the most cowardly thing!
"Lin, you scored 26 points tonight with a super high shooting percentage of 7 of 9, the highest in the game, and you also restricted Hamilton to a great extent on the defensive end!"
"With 7 three-pointers in a single game in the Finals, you directly tied Bulls legend Scottie Pippen's record of three-pointers in a single game in the Finals!"
"So as an undrafted guy, how do you feel about dunk slips in your game?"
Lin Fei listened to a series of praises heaped on him by the media reporters, but he never expected that the last question would be why he slipped during a dunk...
Mentally scolding the white reporter for saying "fuck it," Lin Fei remained calm, smiling and speaking into the microphone with a rather philosophical remark:
"I can only say that God is fair!"
"That's it, because I shot the three-pointer too accurately, so I slipped when I dunked!"
Lin Fei's words sounded like a joke at first, and the media reporters looked at each other and laughed, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it actually makes some sense!
Phillip Sanders looked at Lin Fei beside him with a smile, his eyes full of praise. This kid is becoming more and more comfortable facing the media!
After the press conference after the game, Lin Fei did not go home with Szebiak, nor did he rush into training as usual.
Instead, he made an appointment with ESPN reporter Erin Andrews in advance, invited the beauty to dinner, and apologized for hitting the opponent while flying to save the ball during the game.
Target Center’s underground parking lot,
Erin Andrews put on a casual outfit, a black miniskirt and boots, a white halter top and a brown trench coat from Mackage.
The long hair is tied behind the back, showing the ability and intellectual beauty of a mature woman.
With a height of 1.78 meters and a weight of 57 kilograms, coupled with a windbreaker worth tens of thousands of dollars, she shows the full aura of a famous beauty reporter.
Smiling, Erin Andrews got into the co-pilot position of Lin Fei's red Ford Mustang. Erin Andrews did not dislike Lin Fei's car at all. Instead, her beautiful eyes were full of novelty.
Because she knew that she was about to witness another legendary inspirational story belonging to the NBA.
In order to show his solemnity, Lin Fei also put on a black suit tonight, which was specially customized by his agent Qin Dongmei for Lin Fei in last year's draft.
As he drove the car out of the underground parking lot, Lin Fei saw Ben Wallace in the rearview mirror not far away waiting for the Wolf King, cursing.
Soon, Lin Fei and Erin Andrews arrived at a famous Italian restaurant on the banks of the Mississippi River.
Lin Fei ordered two fillet steaks and a latte for himself, while Erin Andrews ordered half a seafood pasta, a tiramisu and a cappuccino.
Although she likes to eat sweets, Erin Andrews has always been very good at controlling her figure, and she also discussed some fitness issues with Lin Fei.
At the same time, as a reporter and anchor for ESPN, Erin Andrews also has a wealth of basketball knowledge and unique insights, and the two chatted very well.
Lin Fei finished two pieces of filet mignon quickly. He could only say that the taste was good, but it was definitely not as delicious as Szebiak's wife.
"Miss Andrews, I still need to say sorry to you. It shouldn't hurt anymore, right?"
Lin Fei asked unintentionally, but Erin Andrews listened intently, and thought of the scene when Lin Fei suddenly collided with him during the game, with a face that was leaning against him...
Erin Andrews still remembers the feeling of that moment, which can only be described as painful and happy.
Under the dim light of the restaurant, Andrews' pretty face was slightly flushed and he smiled:
"Lin, your nose shouldn't bleed anymore, right?"
Lin Fei touched the bridge of his nose with his hand, pretending to be a young man who was ignorant of the world. High-end hunters often appear as prey:
"If it hits again, it will probably still bleed!"
Erin Andrews chuckled. A 26-year-old woman also has a youthful and beautiful side.
"Lin, I think I have become a loyal fan of yours. I am really looking forward to your wonderful performance in the finals. I believe you will surprise more people!"
Lin Fei was very calm, but there was no place for that damn humor: "Miss Andrews, actually... I am also your fan!"
Erin Andrews smiled wildly, and her beautiful eyes suddenly became blurred:
"Lin, how about we drink some whiskey? Or a cocktail?"
Lin Fei blinked his eyes and immediately said seriously: "You can't drink alcohol. Drinking is harmful to your health. Just drink it!"
Erin Andrews' smile became awkward: "..."
It turns out that he is still a straight man with a sense of humor, and Erin Andrews feels that she likes Lin Fei more and more.
