On the court at this time, Lin Fei was still running down the right sideline, quickly reversed and ran straight to the top of the arc, using the cover of the Wolf King to delay Hamilton's pursuit, and went straight to the left at a 0-degree angle.
But this time the cover effect of the Wolf King's fast break was not good. Hamilton easily got around and was not obviously thrown away by Lin Fei.
"Madman" passed the ball decisively while moving. Lin Fei, who was on the left at a 0-degree angle, turned over to catch the ball. Facing Hamilton who was flying up, he took off and took a lightning shot.
This three-point shot was too difficult. In order to avoid being blocked by Hamilton, Lin Fei subconsciously raised his shooting point, but the ball was still rubbed against the surface by Hamilton's defensive fingertips.
Although it is only a light touch, it is enough to remove one percent of the force of the basketball shot.
"boom!"
Sure enough, the ball hit the inside of the basket, bounced twice and then fell straight out.
At the moment when the home fans looked disappointed, the Wolf King jumped up from the basket and grabbed the offensive rebound.
"Snapped!"
The Wolf King who landed on the ground roared, and the dry land suddenly started to pick up green onions again, and he wanted to directly make up for the kill.
However, Ben, who flew up from behind, looked like a demon. He took off in two steps directly inside the free throw line. His strong body flew over half of the paint area, and his big hand like a cattail fan suddenly slapped down.
"Snapped!"
"boom!"
The Wolf King was about to dunk the basketball into the basket, but was slapped hard by Ben and flew onto the tempered steel backboard. It bounced off the two people's heads with great force.
"Whoosh!"
"Madman" was the first to rush up against Billups and once again grabbed this key offensive rebound.
At this time, Lin Fei, who was originally at a 0-degree angle on the left, had already disappeared as if he was a ghost. He slipped through the baseline and used the cover of Wolf King and Big Ben under the basket to rush directly through the middle.
The speed is only 0 degrees to the right.
Hamilton had just barely blocked Lin Fei's three-point shot with his first shot. Seeing that the basketball missed, his nerves relaxed for a moment, and his overstretched physical strength flooded him with the tide.
When he reacted and pursued Lin Fei again, he was completely blocked by the "elevator door" of Wolf King and Da Ben. When he hurriedly walked around, he accidentally bumped into one of Da Ben's legs and fell to the ground and flew out.
"boom!"
While "Madman" flew into the middle to grab the rebound, he was always observing Lin Fei's movements, and this ball couldn't be more comfortable.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Fei caught the ball at a familiar 0-degree angle on the right side, and the time on the timer reached the last 3 seconds.
Seeing Hamilton falling to the ground and sliding to his feet, he subconsciously reached out with a hand to grab Lin Fei's shoes. Isn't this a pure useless move?
All risks have at least 4 plus signs.
Lin Fei didn't care about this at all. At this time, he only had eyes on the basket and only two words in his heart:
"Kill!"
Under the nervous and suffocating gazes of more than 20,000 fans throughout the Target Center Arena,
Lin Fei jumped up suddenly, just avoiding Hamilton's big hand, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot another one.
"Uh-huh!"
The eighth.
The time on the timer was frozen at the last 1.3 seconds.
Lin Fei used a divine three-pointer that broke the single-game three-point record in the Finals to help the Timberwolves successfully complete a reversal in the last 1.3 seconds.
Timberwolves (99): (97) Pistons.
After landing gracefully, the white AJ5 on Lin Fei's left foot stepped heavily on the floor, only less than 5 centimeters away from the back of Hamilton's outstretched hand.
Lin Fei and Hamilton were startled at the same time.
If this kick hits the back of Hamilton's hand, even if Lin Fei weighs only 86 kilograms, it will be enough to end Hamilton's broken finger for the season.
Lin Fei quickly took two steps back and hit a key three-pointer. Lin Fei was still in a good mood. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Hamilton who was lying on the ground in a miserable state and joked:
"Richard, are you too cruel? When others step on your feet, you just step on your hands?"
Hamilton looked embarrassed and quickly got up from the ground.
As the saying goes, if you lose, you don't lose. He just subconsciously grabbed Lin Fei's leg, which was indeed a serious violation of sportsmanship.
Lin Fei happened to miss his hand after landing, which was considered an advantage for himself.
With Lin Fei's incredible three-pointer in 1.3 seconds, the Target Center Arena was completely boiling, and the cheers broke through the roof.
"OMG, 1.3 seconds to kill, win, win, we win again!"
"Oh my God, it's incredible. Lin's shot at a 0-degree angle on the right side was perfect, with a 100% hit rate!"
"This ball was so thrilling to watch. If Kevin and Latrell hadn't grabbed offensive rebounds in succession, once the time ran out, we would have been doomed!"
"My heart almost jumped out of my throat. This competition is so exciting!"
"I swear, this is definitely the most exciting finals I have ever seen in my life, bar none!"
"My, God, Lin is the God of the Timberwolves. He made 8 of 10 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws. He has already scored 29 points!"
"Incredible reversal, we actually went on a 16:2 run in the last 3 minutes, and Lin scored 12 points alone. This is crazy!"
On the court, Larry Brown had no choice but to call the team's last 20-second short timeout. Trailing by 2 points in 1.3 seconds, the Pistons had no choice but to make a desperate move.
On the Timberwolves side, the Wolf King, "Madman" and Lin Fei who came off the court were not in a hurry to celebrate the victory, but continued to maintain a high degree of concentration because the game was not over yet.
Many things may still happen in the last 1.3 seconds. After all, Laoyu completed the ultimate kill in 0.4 seconds in this year's playoffs.
Kevin McHale, who was in the box on the roof of the stadium, breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the sofa with a smile. It seemed that he once again underestimated Lin Fei's three-pointer.
In another luxury box, Phil Knight, the chairman of Nike Group, also showed a meaningful look on his face and said to the beautiful assistant beside him:
"If Lin's agent disagrees with the 20 million US dollars in four years, there is still room for negotiation!"
On the court, after a timeout, Hamilton served from the sideline. Billups used Okur's cover to catch the ball from the outside and quickly shot a three-pointer.
The "Madman" pounced on the ball in time and successfully interfered with Billups' shot.
"Clang!"
The basketball missed. Ben grabbed the offensive rebound, turned over, jumped up, and quickly made up for it, slamming the basketball into the basket.
"Boom!"
But the goal had obviously timed out. Joey Crawford signaled that the goal was invalid and the game was over.
Cheers and shouts erupted one after another inside and outside the Target Center Arena. The fans chanted Lin Fei's name and shouted for a sure win.
The Wolf King turned over and was the first to hug Lin Fei, extremely excited:
"Lin, thank you, we won again!"
Lin Fei was also very excited, and also gasped: "Kevin, this victory belongs to each of us!"
[Ding, congratulations to the host for hitting 8 three-pointers in G2 of the finals, breaking the record for three-pointers in a single game in the finals, and helping the team win the game, gaining free attribute points +250]
Madman and Szebiak also excitedly rushed up to touch Lin Fei's head. The Timberwolves substitute players followed and rushed onto the court, happily surrounding Lin Fei and the Wolf King.
Flip Saunders finally breathed a sigh of relief and shook hands and hugged several assistant coaches. Winning this game was so dreamy and exciting.
The players of the Detroit Pistons stared blankly and couldn't believe this result. They were actually reversed with a 12-point lead in the last 3 minutes?
Larry Brown and the players walked to the tunnel with their heads lowered in frustration. This Game 2 of the Finals was destined to become an unavoidable shame in his coaching career.
But the dilemma facing the Detroit Pistons is obviously still behind, because they are already trailing 0:2.
Watching his teammates return to the locker room, Rasheed Wallace, who had just taken a shower and walked out shirtless in a towel, said excitedly:
"Brothers, how many points did you beat the Timberwolves? I really want to see how Kevin Garnett's face has deteriorated now, ha..."
Wallace thought the Pistons were sure to win before watching the game, so he went to take a shower first. Now when he came out, he saw his teammates all crestfallen. They didn't look like they were winning at all.
The smile on his face froze instantly, and he stopped mid-sentence: "I'll wipe it, what's going on?"
…
At the Timberwolves post-game press conference, Flip Saunders once again brought Lin Fei and the Wolf King together.
If the first game of the finals was a victory won by the team led by Wolf King and Lin Fei, both of them would have made equally huge contributions.
So in tonight's G2 of the Finals, Lin Fei's 29 points and a three-pointer in the last 1.3 seconds completely overshadowed Garnett's 22 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks.
Lin Fei is the most deserving MVP tonight.
Lin Fei, who played for 36 minutes, also showed a different style on the defensive end. Even though he was still lagging behind most of the time, at least he was no longer useless.
When the media reporter finally asked Lin Fei how he viewed the next three consecutive away games.
Lin Fei smiled and said calmly and confidently into the microphone:
"Although it is cool to win the championship at home, my teammates and I still hope that we will not return to the Target Center Arena in this round of finals!"
"Let the championship be announced at the Palace of Auburn Hills!"
Lin Fei's calm yet domineering remarks received thunderous applause from the reporters at the scene.
The suspense of the 2003-04 NBA Finals will be revealed at the Palace of Auburn Hills, so naturally there is only one outcome, and that is for the Timberwolves to resolve the battle within 5 games.
The Wolf King beside him couldn't help but cast an admiring look at Lin Fei.
This college student is really good at talking. A scumbag who graduated from high school really can't compare to him!
Lin Fei's superb performance in the second game of the finals once again swept the hearts of fans across the United States and even the world who were paying attention to the NBA Finals.
They were all attracted by the unique charm of this boy from the East.
A foreign undrafted player with poor defense, and a yellow race who is inferior to black and white people in talent and physical fitness.
He was actually able to shine on the NBA Finals stage, even completing a buzzer beater and becoming the undisputed MVP of the game.
Before Lin Fei was born, this was something that no NBA fan dared to imagine.
This is definitely one of the greatest miracles in the NBA's 60-year history.
The name of this miracle is Lin Fei!

The strange thing is that
Even though the Timberwolves defeated the Pistons and won the second game of the Finals, they still led 2:0 with a big score, and the momentum for winning the championship was great.
However, ESPN's latest probability of the Timberwolves winning the championship has dropped from 76% before the start of G2 to 72%.
The Detroit Pistons' championship probability increased from 24% to 28%.
They won the game and led by a huge score of 2:0, but the probability of winning the championship fell instead of rising. The operations of these media experts are indeed a bit confusing.
In ESPN’s latest sports talk show,
Mike Breen, as a famous commentator and also the commentator of G2 in the finals, gave his reasons for supporting the Detroit Pistons:
"Judging from the entire process of G2 of the Finals, the Detroit Pistons' tactical execution and overall competitiveness on both ends of the offense and defense are obviously better than the Timberwolves. Remember, this is still on the road!"
"But it must be admitted that Larry Brown's on-the-spot adaptability was completely blown away by Flip Saunders in G2!"
"If Rasheed Wallace hadn't been sent off for two technical fouls, the Pistons' top five defense wouldn't have had any obvious loopholes. Lin's 12 points in a row at the last moment would have left him no chance!"
"The Timberwolves' buzzer-beater must be a classic, but it also involves luck!"
"The next G3 of the Finals will return to Detroit. The Pistons are likely to rebound strongly and win a big victory. The suspense of the Finals is still huge!"
An older group of academic experts and retired stars with traditional basketball concepts have begun to support the Detroit Pistons, believing that the Pistons' five tigers have great potential.
The next finals will inevitably become more exciting and confusing.
Bulls legend "Big Bug" Rodman even spoke out for the Detroit Pistons on social media, believing that the penalties in the first two games of the Finals were unfair and clearly favored the home team.
"I have always been very optimistic about the Detroit Pistons. They are a tenacious defensive team!"
"Ben has injected an immortal soul into this team. A big score of 0:2 is not the end of the world. The wave at the Palace of Auburn Hills will reveal the true colors of the Timberwolves and Kevin Garnett!"
Regarding Rodman's public ridicule, the Wolf King naturally could not sit still and wait for death. He publicly bombarded the Bulls star on social media and fought back strongly:
"Please don't tell me that Dennis is one of the Bulls' Big Three. I have never seen a championship team whose giants only averaged 3.3 points per game!"
"If I teamed up with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, the Bulls would have won at least 10 consecutive championships!"
Faced with the response from his younger generation, Rodman was naturally not a good person and fought back strongly:
"As we all know, the reason why Kevin Garnett won the regular season MVP was entirely because of the support of two seniors, Latrell and Sam!"
"And why was Kevin able to reach this year's finals? The answer is even more obvious, because he embraced the thigh of an unknown undrafted player from a certain country!"
"If Kevin still wants to win the Finals MVP, it is strongly recommended that the Timberwolves reduce Lin's playing time. The premise is that the Timberwolves lack Lin's three-point support and can still defeat the Pistons!"
Rodman's words were heart-wrenching and completely angered the Wolf King. The angry Wolf King directly unleashed his ultimate move:
"Man, Madonna keeps saying you can't do it, and today I realized it's all fucking true!"
Rodman later publicly stated on social media that he would go to Detroit for the third stop of the Finals and watch with his own eyes as Kevin Garnett was beaten back to his original form by the Pistons.
The war of words between Kevin Garnett and Rodman on social media also made G3 of the Finals full of gimmicks and attracted increasing attention.
Lin Fei naturally had no intention of paying attention to the media hype. His only hobby after competition was training, training and training.
In addition, G3 and G2 of the finals are only one day apart, not to mention that they have to switch from home to away, which gives Lin Fei and the players of the two teams not much time to prepare.
On the afternoon of the second day after playing G2, Lin Fei flew to Detroit on a special plane with the team.
However, Minneapolis is not too far from Detroit. It is in the Great Lakes region, only about a thousand kilometers away. It can be reached by plane in more than two hours.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Fei and the team checked into a luxury hotel that cooperated with the local Detroit area.
In order to allow the players to get a better rest, Glenn Taylor upgraded the specifications of the team's hotel to ensure that the players' nightly rest would not be disturbed by local fans.
As the top city in the United States in the 1950s, the "Motor City" Detroit once had a population of more than 2 million and was once the fifth largest city in the United States.
But after the 1980s, Detroit began to decline rapidly. The automobile manufacturing industry continued to lay off employees, and steel ruins were scattered throughout the city.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad Detroit is, it is still much better than Minneapolis.
At the thought of playing three consecutive away games in Detroit, even with a 2-0 lead, the Timberwolves' main players and coaching staff were still full of worries.
The dominant team performance of the Detroit Pistons in the third quarter of G2 of the Finals really left both the Wolf King and the Madmen with lingering fears.
This team can really risk their lives for the championship.
Detroit.
Westin Hotel, rooftop cafe.
Lin Fei and his agent Qin Dongmei sat at a table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the cold city night view.
Under the bright lights, high-rise buildings and steel ruins stand side by side, witnessing the glory and loneliness of this city.
"Sister Qin, why did you come all the way here? You didn't tell me in advance that I couldn't get free tickets for this away game. If you want to watch the game tomorrow, you have to pay for it yourself!"
Lin Fei had just finished strength and endurance training in the hotel gym, and casually changed into a pair of loose Nike sportswear after taking a shower.
Lin Fei no longer has any relatives in this parallel world, so Qin Dongmei can be said to be his confidante. The two of them have been in the United States for a year, and their relationship is no longer generally good.
In Lin Fei's view, Qin Dongmei was just like his biological sister, a sharp-tongued person who always cared about him.
In front of Qin Dongmei, Lin Fei didn't need to pretend, he was free and easy and natural.
But there is a big difference between this and my biological sister, that is, it is possible to retain the wealth and not drain it into other people's fields.
"Lin Fei, why do I realize that you are getting thicker and thicker?"
"I don't have time to watch your game tomorrow. I'm here specifically to deal with your signing! I'm going to Chicago early tomorrow morning, then New York, Philadelphia and Miami!"
"Now these four Eastern Conference teams are the most sincere competitors, and their average annual salary exceeds US$5 million!"
"And I've also considered your commercial value and exposure. These cities are all first-tier cities in the United States, so it's time to have face-to-face discussions with their management!"
Lin Fei immediately thought of the Chicago Bulls and suddenly frowned and thought.
Although Chicago is the third largest city in the United States, behind New York and Los Angeles, the Bulls have completely sunk in the post-Jordan era, ranking last in the Eastern Conference for consecutive years.
In this period of the Bulls, Lin Fei seemed to be unable to think of any star. It seemed that there was only one young Ke 6, right?
Oh, and there's the talented but lazy Eddie Curry.
This year's Bulls seem to have won the third overall pick, but this obviously won't make a substantial difference.
If you go to the Bulls, you will definitely have no chance of winning another championship in the short term, but it is not a bad thing to be the boss of the team, let the team recruit around you, and use your data to become an All-Star...
"Sister Qin, I can consider the Chicago Bulls, but I must get the commitment from the management there to build the team around me as the team's first core in the new season!"
"Also, don't they have the third overall pick? If it's guaranteed that Andre Iguodala can be picked, there will be discussions on this matter!"
Qin Dongmei was immediately stunned. She was already so open-minded as a lion, but her employer's ambition was simply extraordinary!
Not only do you want to be the boss, but you also want to interfere in other people's management drafts?
"Lin Fei, can you guarantee that you can hit 8 three-pointers in G3 of tomorrow's finals?"
"If you dare to promise, I will dare to fight for you shamelessly tomorrow!"
Lin Fei always had a calm smile on his face. Confident men are always the most beautiful:
"Ahem, I can't guarantee it!"
Qin Dongmei: "..."
