For Dayao, Lin Fei's health is far more important than the Rockets' regular season victory.
If Lin Fei cannot play in the second half, even if the Rockets finally win a big victory, it will not be glorious and meaningless in Dayao's eyes.
Heat (53): (59) Rockets.
In Lin Fei's extremely difficult and elegant three-pointer at the buzzer, the Heat also chased the point difference to 6 points. The suspense of victory in the second half was still huge.
In the fifth live broadcast room of Tianchao.
Director Zhang and host Yu Jia had very complicated emotions. On the one hand, they were excited about Lin Fei's 10 three-pointers in the half. On the other hand, they were also worried about Lin Fei's physical condition and whether his head was really suspected of concussion. .
"Judging from the slow-speed replay of Lin Fei's impact just now, it is likely to trigger a mild concussion. If concussion procedures are required, then he must not play again in the second half!"
"Lin Fei's 10 three-pointers in the half have already made new NBA history. As for breaking Kobe's record of 12 three-pointers in a single game, I feel that I am not in a hurry tonight. Lin Fei's health is the most important! "
"Director Zhang is right. I believe that the Chinese fans in front of the TV at this moment are all looking forward to Lin Fei's return in the second half, setting new records and miracles, and leading the Heat to win the game!"
"But if Lin Fei's head is really in danger of concussion, he must not fight with the injury, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!"
"Fans don't have to worry. The Heat's team doctors are still very professional. If Lin Fei shows signs of mild concussion, according to the league's regulations, he will definitely not be able to play again!"
"If Lin Fei can reappear in the second half, it means there is absolutely no problem with his head!"
Fans from all over China watched this NBA Derby through channels such as Tianchao Wutai, New Wolf Sports and Sohu NBA’s text live broadcast, and the total number of people has exceeded 160 million.
Although the Rockets have Yao Yao and the Heat have Lin Fei and Sugao, these two teams can be regarded as half of the home teams of Chinese fans.
But obviously, more than two-thirds of the Chinese fans support and like Lin Fei's Heat team more, and they also like O'Neal and Wade.
In the original world, Yao Mai's Rockets were so glorious that they captivated countless Chinese fans.
But in today's parallel world, the super popularity of Dayao and the Rockets has gradually taken away Lin Fei's popularity.
What's more, Lin Fei also scored 10 three-pointers in the half tonight, especially the super elegant buzzer-beating three-pointer at the end of the first half, which made the Chinese fans extremely excited.
"Oh my god, Fei Ge's buzzer beater was so cool. This goal is definitely scheduled to be among the top ten goals tonight, right?"
"Maddie is also very good, but in front of Lin Fei, I always feel a bit inferior!"
"Lin Fei must not be injured. As long as he can play in the second half, breaking Kobe's record of 12 three-pointers in a single game is all he can do!"
"The Rockets' defense is too targeted at Fei Ge! Fei Ge finally got unlimited firing rights tonight. Are the Rockets so serious? It's just a regular season game!"
"After all, Lin Fei is a pure player without the ball and has no ability to attack with the ball. Once targeted by the defense, it is still difficult to fire unlimitedly!"
"It feels like both Wade and O'Neal are bent on giving Lin Fei the ball, and Eddie Jones and general screens are also very active, but unfortunately the Rockets' defense is too serious. Jeff Van Gundy obviously means: You can lose the game, but you must not let Lin Fei break the three-point record!"
"The Van Gundy brothers are at odds. Anyway, the current atmosphere in the Heat team is really good. Eddie Jones, who had conflicts with Lin Fei earlier, is now fully integrated into the team system!"
"Brother Fei, please don't let anything happen. I look forward to your return as the king in the second half!"
Looking back to Houston's Toyota Arena, the third quarter of the game has begun.
Seeing that Lin Fei did not return to the court from the locker room, the Rockets fans at home were inevitably a little disappointed.
"Did Lin really go through the concussion procedure? Doesn't it feel that serious?"
"With the Heat without Lin in the second half, our chances of winning are definitely greater, but why do I still expect Lin to play and break the three-point record?"
"Being able to witness the NBA single-game three-point record being refreshed live is definitely more meaningful than watching the home team win one or two regular season games. Kobe's 12 three-pointers back then were already quite shocking!"
"I heard that in the Lakers' game against the SuperSonics, Kobe hit 9 three-pointers in a row. This is also a record that is difficult to break in the NBA, even harder than his 12 three-pointers in a single game!"
"The technical desk did not announce that Lin will not return in the second half. Maybe the Heat are planning a big move. Stan Van Gundy, an old fox, has a very deep plan!"
In the third quarter, Lin Fei was still in the locker room, and the Heat continued to send Damon Jones and Wade to partner in the backcourt. At the same time, they continued to use general to maintain mid- and long-range firepower.
Without Lin Fei's outside restraint, the Rockets continued to stick to the penalty area, always ready to double-team Wade and O'Neal.
The Heat returned to the first mainstream offensive system, but without the restraint of Lin Fei, the power was never able to be exerted.
In addition, Wade and O'Neal were in very average condition tonight. The second-year Wade was too impatient in the third quarter and failed to succeed at the basket. He also committed an offensive foul and a turnover. .
Under the active defense of Dayao and Huo Ershu, O'Neal found it difficult to catch the ball in the low post, and the pick-and-roll effect with Wade was not good, and he quickly received his fourth foul of the night.
Only the experienced Eddie Jones is in good condition, scoring 8 points in a single quarter.
This is roughly the point where the Rockets defensive end selectively let go, so Wade also distributed more balls to the open space after being double-teamed.
In the entire third quarter, there were three open shots, and he roughly made two of them, hitting a three-pointer and contributing 5 points to the team.
The team's offense couldn't get started. Stan Van Gundy made frequent substitutions in the third quarter. Kenyon Dulin and Tony Allen both got playing time, but they did not perform outstandingly.
On the other hand, the Rockets continued to perform efficiently on the offensive end. Under the Heat's significantly strengthened defense, McGrady, although his touch dropped, still made 3 of 6 shots and scored 8 points from free throws in a single quarter.
After three quarters, McGrady has scored 35 points, fully demonstrating the super firepower of the two-time scoring champion.
Dayao also scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block in a single quarter. Among them, a big shot to O'Neal made Rockets fans cheer.
In addition, Uncle Huo, Jim Jackson and Bob Sura all scored. In the third quarter, the Rockets scored 28 points in a single quarter, while the Heat only had 18 points.
After three quarters, the Rockets quickly led by 16 points.
Heat (71): (87) Rockets.
Throughout the third quarter, Lin Fei did not return to the bench from the locker room.
Without Lin Fei in the Heat, only about one person on the team hit a three-pointer in the third quarter.
Looking back at the Rockets, McGrady, Jackson, Bob Sura and Tyronn Lue all made three-pointers in the third quarter, with a total of 6 three-pointers in a single quarter.
Both teams scored very high tonight, with a total of 158 points after three quarters, which is equivalent to the total points scored in the NBA during this period.
Among them, the three-pointer is the most critical factor, which speeds up the pace of the game and makes the scoring efficiency significantly higher.
Although Lin Fei hit 10 three-pointers in the first half, after three quarters, the Heat's team only had 13 three-pointers in total.
On the other hand, the Rockets have scored a total of 15 three-pointers in three quarters.
"Although Lin's 10 three-pointers in a half are unparalleled, it directly increased the NBA's 8 three-pointers in a half by nearly 30%!"
"But the Rockets hit more three-pointers than the Heat. Under the leadership of Tracy McGrady, the outside substitute shooters performed well!"
"For the Rockets, this is a team effort to take the lead. The Heat are 16 points behind in the third quarter. If Lin is still unable to play in the last quarter, then they are trying to complete the reversal. It can be said that there is not much hope!"
"But the NBA has always been a stage for miracles, so we look forward to the Heat being able to surprise the fans in the final quarter!"
In front of the commentary desk on the sidelines, without Lin Fei, the passion of Mike Breen and Chat Ford's commentary was obviously weakened by more than half.
These two guys also look forward to Lin Fei's return of the king in the last quarter and breaking the three-point record. This will be considered a classic.
After the start of the final quarter, the main players of both teams temporarily rested on the bench, and the second team played on the field.
The Rockets' substitute gangsters were in good shape tonight, and they quickly suppressed the Heat on both offense and defense. A comfortable 5:0 wave brought the home team's lead to 21 points.
Stan Van Gundy frowned helplessly and was already planning to let the game go.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise from the fans in the Toyota Center Arena, and countless eyes were looking towards the player tunnel.
There, Lin Fei, wearing the Heat's away red No. 22 jersey, was walking firmly to the sidelines.
Lin Fei's eyes were determined, and his face still showed that cool and calm confidence.
Lin Fei is back.
"OMG, is Lin back? Didn't he go through concussion procedures?"
"Haha, the Heat are already 21 points behind. What can Lin do when he comes back? Should he be allowed to hit 10 more three-pointers in one quarter?"
"Stan Van Gundy will definitely not let Lin play again. If he continues to chase points like crazy for an inconsequential regular season, Lin may really get injured!"
"It's just a pity that the record of 12 three-pointers in a single game is broken. I'm afraid I won't see it broken tonight!"
"Even if Lin plays the entire second half, we may not necessarily lose. After all, Shaquille and Dwayne are not in good condition tonight. Our main force is very stable and our substitutes are strong!"
"You're right. Lin didn't play in the second half, which really made this battle less classic. Otherwise, Lin made a three-pointer and the Rockets won again. This is a real classic!"
Rockets fans were talking a lot and no longer cared much about the battle between the substitutes on the court.
In front of the Heat bench, watching Lin Fei come back, head coach Stan Van Gundy and assistant coach Spoelstra,
Wade, O'Neal, Shaquille O'Neal, Tony Allen and others sitting on the bench were all shocked.
"Lin, why are you back again? Didn't you agree not to fight tonight?"
Stan Van Gundy looked at Lin Fei in surprise, his eyes full of concern and worry.
As early as halftime, the Heat team doctor in the locker room carefully examined Lin Fei's head and performed a concussion test on him. There was no problem at all.
Although judging from the replay of the game video, Lin Fei's elegant fall after the buzzer and flying out looked scary, but Lin Fei did not suffer from any dizziness except for some pain in the head that was hit.
This also shows that Lin Fei's head only had simple surface pain, which did not affect the nerve center at all.
Even so, as the head coach of the Heat, Stan Van Gundy was still a little scared, so he decided to let Lin Fei sit out the second half of tonight's game to avoid another accident.
After all, this is just a less important regular season, and the new season has just begun. Even if the Heat lose this game, the start of 2 wins and 1 loss is in line with expectations.
Wade and O'Neal also persuaded Lin Fei not to play in the second half, so Lin Fei agreed.
But when Lin Fei saw in the locker room that his team was already 20+ behind, he couldn't sit still anymore and took the initiative to return and invite Ying to play.
"Coach, I'm really fine. Let me fight with my teammates until the end!"
"You know, I've always been good at playing against the wind!"
After listening to Lin Fei's words, Stan Van Gundy fell into hesitation, and Wade and O'Neal seemed to have rekindled their fighting spirit.
Seeing that the two team doctors nodded solemnly, indicating that Lin Fei was indeed ready to play in his current condition.
Stan Van Gundy quickly made a decision and reached out to pat Lin Fei on the shoulder. At the same time, he looked at Wade, Shou and O'Neal who stood up from the bench:
"Okay, Lin, let's play next. No matter you win or lose, I will let you play the whole last quarter and get enough shot rights!"
"Dwayne, Shaquille, Udonis, Wang... now we are 21 points behind, there is nothing to worry about!"
"Let go and play, thoroughly implement the second off-ball offensive system tonight, and find opportunities for me at all costs to pass the ball to Lin!"
In Stan Van Gundy's decisive words, Wade and O'Neal instantly glowed. Since they are not afraid of losing, what are they afraid of?
In Lin Fei's eyes, he once again saw the scene of never giving up. The scene in G5 of the Western Conference Finals last season also lingered in his mind at this time.
That was Lin Fei's battle to become famous. With the Timberwolves trailing the Lakers in the final quarter, Lin Fei came out of nowhere and hit 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, shocking the entire league.
After watching the video of the last quarter several times, he felt that Lin Fei, who turned the tide in G5 of the Western Conference Finals, was back.
Dayao, who was sitting in front of the Rockets bench, looked excitedly at the Heat. Is Lin Fei going to play again?
That means he doesn't have any concussion risk at all.
Dayao felt relieved instantly. He knew that Lin Fei was an invincible Xiaoqiang. How could he be easily injured and call a truce?
McGrady, who was sitting next to Dayao, smiled sleepily and said: "Yao, it seems that your fellow countryman is not injured at all. He is preparing to go on the field and break the three-point record!"
But Dayao replied seriously to McGrady: "Tracy, I know Lin best, he doesn't care about the three-point record in a lost game!"
McGrady also became interested instantly: "Yao, when you say that, do you mean Lin still wants to lead the team to a reversal? That's good, I want to see how powerful this kid's three-pointer is!"
In the next dead ball time, Stan Van Gundy waved his hand.
Four substitutes were quickly replaced, and Lin Fei, O'Neal, Wade and roughly four others were replaced at the same time, partnering with Eddie Jones who was originally present.
The Heat instantly returned to a lineup of five main players. On the timer, there were still 10 minutes and 19 seconds before the end of the final quarter.
Heat (71): (92) Rockets.
Seeing Lin Fei and the Heat's main players all on the court, the Rockets fans at Toyota Arena became excited.
There is nothing to be happy about leading by a big score. After all, it is just a regular season game. The Heat did not perform well enough in the away game tonight. A big win does not mean that the Rockets are stronger than the Heat.
But Lin Fei's return in the final quarter revived the interest of the Rockets fans at the scene. It was like watching a movie in the cinema. I originally thought that the story had reached the end, but I didn't expect that a new twist suddenly came.
In front of the commentary desk on the sidelines, Mike Breen and Chat Ford were equally surprised. The Lin Fei they were looking forward to finally played again. There is no doubt that this guy will overpower Yao Mai tonight and is the biggest focus on the court. .
"Lin, Lin came on. He staged the return of the king in the final quarter. All five of the Heat's main players returned to their positions. They haven't given up yet. With a 21-point difference, can the Heat complete the miracle of reversal?"
"Although it is very difficult to reverse the game, there is a high probability that we will be lucky enough to witness Lin break Kobe's single-game record of 12 three-pointers tonight!"
"The suspense of the game continues. I believe the last 10 minutes of this final quarter will become the most exciting part of the game!"
Seeing Lin Fei reappearing in the final quarter, with no trace of head injury at all, the mixed-race beauty wearing sunglasses sitting in the first row of the baseline also raised a smile on her sexy lips, and her beautiful eyes under the sunglasses looked forward. streamer.
The image of Lin Fei falling to the ground and then hitting the ball at high speed appeared in his mind again, and the delicate body of this mixed-race beauty couldn't help but tremble twice more.
Seeing the Heat's Big Three reappearing, Rockets head coach Jeff Van Gundy was calm and calm. He did not rush to replace Yao Mai, but continued to let the substitutes play.
But less than a minute later, Jeff Van Gundy suddenly lost his composure.
On the court, the Heat quickly launched an attack. Wade dribbled the ball forward and faced Jim Jackson with an accelerating breakthrough into the penalty area.
The Rockets quickly shrank their defense, and substitute veteran center Dikembe Mutombo guarded the penalty area, waiting to give the second-year Flash a big hit at any time.
"African Mountain" Uncle Mu is 2.18 meters tall. He is one of the greatest blue-collar centers and shot-blocking masters in the history of the NBA. He has won 4 DPOYs and three blocks.
Uncle Mu, whose official age is 38 years old, also signed with the Rockets this season with a mid-level contract worth US$4.5 million a year and became Dayao's substitute.
The Rockets signed Uncle Mu because, on the one hand, Lian Po is old but still has the strength to fight. On the other hand, they also hope that Uncle Mu can give Dayao more experience and guidance to help him grow up quickly.
Uncle Mu was born in the war-torn African Congo in the 1960s. Although his registered birth age is 1966, Uncle Mu's real age is likely to be much older, at least 5 years old.
But the Congo in the 1960s was indeed too turbulent. It has long been impossible to find out exactly what year Uncle Mu was born.
Facing Uncle Mu's frontal defense, Wade did not risk a layup. Instead, as if he had been prepared for it, he suddenly stopped and turned around under the basket, and quickly gave the ball to O'Neal who was lifting up the top of the key.
The moment Wade broke through the penalty area, O'Neal reached the three-point line at the top of the arc. O'Neal, who had almost no mid-to-long range shooting, was naturally completely missed by Uncle Mu this time.
At this time, O'Neal also made a solid textbook screen for Lin Fei crossing the top of the arc, completely blocking Bob Sura who was chasing after him.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and Bob Sura's small body hit O'Neill's body, and he sat down on the floor.
Lin Fei also used O'Neal's cover to quickly rush from the right side of the front court to more than one meter beyond the 45-degree three-point line on the left side. After receiving a light diagonal back pass from O'Neal, he decisively jumped up and shot a three-pointer.
At this time, the high post on the left was entangled with Rockets substitute power forward Padgett, and Eddie Jones even brought the defense to the left corner.
Lin Fei's three-pointer can be said to be a wide open shot without any defensive pressure at all.
The Rockets' substitute defensive level is naturally not comparable to that of the main force. Coupled with the Heat's complex off-ball tactical arrangements, it is easy for Lin Fei to get an easy shot.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball went hollow into the net, and Lin Fei hit his 11th three-pointer tonight.
Rockets head coach Jeff Van Gundy, who was sitting on the sidelines, was not in a hurry to call a timeout. He wanted to wait for another round.
On the court, the Rockets attacked, and Tyronn Lue borrowed a high pick-and-roll from Uncle Mu, but the two had no tacit understanding at all. Wade bypassed the defense quickly and was very oppressive, almost causing Tyronn Lue to make a dribbling error.
Tyronn Lue took a risk and passed the ball to Mutombo, but Wade reacted quickly, reached out to intercept the basketball, and flew down quickly.
"Swish swish!"
Lin Fei followed up from the right wing, Eddie Jones connected from the left, and Wade went straight in the middle.
The Rockets' pursuit was also very fast, with Tyronn Lue and Jim Jackson immediately chasing Wade with the ball.
Eddie Jones was let go, but Lin Fei was hotly pursued by Bob Sura.
After rushing into the frontcourt, Lin Fei suddenly made a reverse run and made a cross cover with the oncoming Eddie Jones.
Eddie Jones appropriately delayed Bob Sura's pursuit, but Wade entered the penalty area and was pursued by two Rockets players. It was not easy to pass the ball accurately.
So Wade reached the basket and suddenly made an emergency stop, then dribbled out of the penalty area from the left.
At this time, the inside players of both teams also followed up. Lin Fei made a sharp reverse run, first borrowing a rough screen at the top of the arc, and then O'Neal's screen, and instantly returned to the 45-degree three-point line on the right. outside.
Bob Sura was completely blocked by the two big men, Shou and O'Neal, and Uncle Mu, who was catching up nearby, could only make up for it.
At this time, Wade dribbled up and looked at the right time. A powerful diagonal pass quickly delivered the cannonball to Lin Fei's hands.
Lin Fei didn't hesitate after receiving the ball, leaped up decisively, faced Uncle Mu, the "African Mountain", who was rushing towards him from an angle, and made a difficult backward lightning shot.
Mutombo is really tall, but he can do facial cumshots even at 2.28 meters tall, so why should he be afraid of Uncle Mu, who is old and honest?
Uncle Mu is really old, and his pace of changing defenses has obviously slowed down.
The basketball flew leisurely from Uncle Mu's defensive fingertips. This is a vicissitudes of life that once blocked the passing of half of the league's superstars in the 1990s.
But in front of Lin Fei's lightning three-pointer, he was destined to be powerless.
"Uh-huh!"
The 12th!
The moment the basketball hit the net, Uncle Mu couldn't help but rushed forward, knocking Lin Fei down.
"Beep!"
The ball goes in and the whistle blows.
3+1.
Uncle Mu shook his head and sighed, and Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines panicked for a moment and quickly called a long timeout, preparing to replace Tracy McGrady and Dayao.
Lin Fei, who was lying on the ground, had a fierce murderous look in his eyes. He looked up at Uncle Mu who was standing beside him and made the other party's signature finger-wagging gesture.
"Old man, how could you possibly guard against me!"
Mike Breen in front of the courtside commentary table excitedly slapped the table and shouted, spitting:
"The 12th, Lin hit his 12th three-pointer tonight. He has officially tied Kobe Bryant's 12 three-pointers in a single game in the Lakers VS Seattle game on January 8, 2003. Record!"
(End of chapter)
