At seven o'clock that evening, Lin Fei and the Miami Heat sat at home to face the visiting Boston Celtics.
The Celtics have a relatively good start to the season. In addition, the Pacers and Pistons have been affected by the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
Therefore, the Celtics started with a record of 11 wins and 6 losses, directly following the Heat's 15 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.
As the richest team in NBA history, the Celtics have won a total of 16 championship trophies, while the second-placed Los Angeles Lakers have 14.
But with Larry Bird and McHale at their peak, it has been 19 seasons since the Celtics last won a championship.
Although the Celtics got off to a smooth start this season, it was also a benefit of the schedule and the Palace of Auburn Hills incident.
Judging from the paper and overall strength, the Green Army, which only has one All-Star substitute star in Paul Pierce, simply does not have the strength to compete for the championship.
The second in command of the team is Ricky Davis, the unlucky guy who once said in the Cavaliers that I thought the little emperor was here to assist me.
Gary Payton, who failed to win the championship with the Lakers last season, also joined the Celtics this season as a 36-year-old leader, still averaging 11 points and 6 assists per game.
After being personally received by Pat Riley, the Heat management also gave the Tianchao interview team high treatment.
Tonight's game between the Heat and the Celtics was specially designed for the Chinese commentator to find an open space with a good view on the second floor of the stands, arrange the equipment, and conduct a live broadcast.
"Haha, I remember the last time I was commentating on the game between Dayao and the Rockets, it was still at the top of the mountain. Now on the second floor, the view is much better!"
Director Zhang was full of joy, thinking of how he had watched a Bulls game at the United Center in Chicago when he retired in 1988 and then worked in the United States. It was also the first time he watched an NBA game live. It has now passed. for 16 years.
"The first time I watched an NBA game was 16 years ago. Now our Chinese men's basketball team is getting better and better. There are three national players, Dayao, Lin Fei and Su Su, working hard in the NBA. This also heralds the Chinese men's basketball team. It has officially reached the highest level of international basketball!"
"In the future, with the most advanced training and training system here, I believe more teenagers will be discovered, and basketball for all is just around the corner!"
Director Zhang spoke with emotion and excitement. Without Lin Fei, the Heat would certainly not have allowed the Tianchao interview team to understand the advanced NBA internal management system.
Next to them, Yu Jia and Su Qun were arranging and adjusting equipment. Compared with last year's live broadcast of the Rockets and Dayao game in Miami,
Coming to Miami this year to live broadcast the game between Lin Fei and the Heat has indeed significantly improved his overall treatment and attention.
This also reflects that with the rise of Dayao and Lin Fei, Chinese basketball players have become world-class players in both the interior and the defender, representing the absolute highest level in Asia.
Naturally, it has also received more attention and recognition from the American NBA. Overseas scouts from many teams have begun to pay closer attention to the emerging outstanding players in Chinese basketball competitions at all levels.
"Lin Fei is indeed more popular than Yao now, whether it is in our country or among the American fans!"
"The overall enjoyment of outside players' play is naturally not comparable to that of inside players. Tim Duncan's honor and historical status are several blocks ahead of Iverson, but in terms of influence and number of fans, Iverson has left Duncan behind. How many streets!”
"Although Lin Fei only has one three-point shot, he has reached the highest level in history in the field of three-point shooting. It can be said to be unique, so his fans will only become more and more!"
While the three Tianchao commentators were chatting, Lin Fei also began to perform pre-game shooting warm-up performances on the court. One after another, he accurately hit the net with ultra-long three-pointers, full of tricks.
This attracted cheers and screams from the Heat fans at the American Airlines Arena. As the other two core members of the team, O'Neal and Wade also looked at each other and began to feel a little jealous of Lin Fei's popularity at home.
Although Lin Fei is a foreign player, American fans are relatively open and always put the charm of sports competition first, which in turn weakens the influence of the country.
Therefore, Lin Fei's popularity in Miami can be said to have surpassed Wade's and is not inferior to O'Neal at all.
Director Zhang, Yu Jia and Su Qun in the stands on the second floor looked around and sighed excitedly:
"Look, how many fans here are wearing Lin Fei's No. 22 jersey? It feels no less than O'Neal's No. 32 jersey, and obviously more than Wade's No. 3 jersey!"
"Yes, although Wade won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in November and is considered the new boss of the Heat, in terms of popularity, he really can't compare with the number one center and Lin Fei!"
On the court, the time soon came to 7pm, and all the starting players from both teams took to the court.
The Heat’s starting five are:
Point Guard (PG): Damon Jones,
Shooting Guard (SG): Dwayne Wade,
Small forward (SF): Eddie Jones,
Power forward (PF): Udonis Haslem,
Center (C): Shaquille O'Neal.
The starting five for the Celtics are:
Point Guard (PG): Gary Payton,
Shooting Guard (SG): Ricky Davis,
Small forward (SF): Paul Pierce,
Power Forward (PF): Riv Lavrenti,
Center (C): Mark Blount.
Except for Lin Fei, who was put into the starting lineup in the away game against the Timberwolves, he was still the unbeatable sixth man in other games. This also reflects the integrity of the Heat's overall structure.
As a substitute sixth man who averaged more than 28 points per game, Lin Fei has always been undisputedly ranked first in the new season's best sixth man rankings, significantly ahead of Ginobili and Barbosa.
The NBA's regular season Best Sixth Man award has been awarded since the 1982-83 season. In more than 20 seasons, there has never been a best Sixth Man player in any session who averaged more than 23 points per game.
Lin Fei averaged 28.1 points per game and shot over 80% from the field but was willing to play as a substitute for the Heat. This also reflects the unity and cohesion of the Heat team.
TNT's famous commentator and number one "Lin Chui" also gave Lin Fei a very appropriate name: Super Sixth Man.
In fact, Lin Fei is fully capable of starting with Wade in the backcourt, so the Heat will be even more powerful at the beginning of the game.
As the head coach, Stan Van Gundy also had the idea of putting Lin Fei in the starting lineup, but Pat Riley still suggested putting Lin Fei on the bench, because Eddie Jones must have more shooting rights. Get the final deal done with the Heat as soon as possible.
As the team's fourth scoring point, Eddie Jones averaged 17.2 points per game this season. Although it is not high, his shooting rate is over 50%, and his defensive performance is also very good.
In fact, Eddie Jones already knew that he was going to be traded by the Heat, and he didn't resent it.
If he goes to a weak team, he can at least be the second-in-command. With good statistics, he might be able to get another good pension contract after this season.
Contrary to what fans imagine, not all NBA players are keen on championships. What they pay more attention to is often money, especially for those mid-level players.
After the game started, O'Neal received a pass from Wade in the penalty area, turned over and hit an easy shark dunk, helping the Heat get the start.
The Celtics' main firepower is Pierce and Davis on the forward and defensive lines. Their performance inside is quite average. No one can limit O'Neal's scoring.
Wade, who just won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award, was in high spirits tonight. He successfully restrained Ricky Davis on the defensive end. On the offensive end, he also entered the penalty area many times, flashed and moved, and performed a difficult performance. Score.
Lin Fei, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but frown when he saw Wade make another classic "Wade Throw" against Green Army power forward Lavren's defense and score 2+1.
This breakthrough is really scary. No matter how strong your talent is, it will eventually become useless, right?
Lin Fei also reminded Wade many times in daily training that the team's current record is good, there is no need to risk your life, and you still need to pay attention to the protection of your knees and ankles.
But Wade's desperate temper, coupled with his young, frivolous and unruly character, always ignored Lin Fei's reminders. Every time, he would pat his chest and say confidently:
"Lin, my body is made of iron. Don't worry. Since I can't practice your precise three-pointers, I naturally have to work hard on breakthroughs!"
Lin Fei was helpless, knowing that Wade's stubborn and conceited character could not be persuaded by just a few words. What the future would bring could only depend on his own destiny.
In Lin Fei's impression, Wade did not have much impact from injuries in the first three seasons of his career, until he won the championship and won the Finals MVP. Those three seasons were also the first peak of his career.
In the following two seasons, injuries had a more serious impact on Wade. He was always playing in and out. In the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons, he only played about 50 regular season games.
After returning healthy in the 08-09 season, Wade immediately won the scoring title. This was also the peak period of his career.
There was not much suspense in this game against the Heat at home. Although Eddie Jones could not guard Paul Pierce well, he also gave a certain counterattack on the offensive end.
With Wade's proper double-teaming, Pierce's performance tonight could only be considered average.
Lin Fei came on as a substitute and played 29 minutes. He made 8 of 10 three-pointers and 4 of 4 extra free throws, scoring 28 points. His steady output was terrifying.
On the defensive end, Lin Fei's performance is getting better and better. Not only did he steal Davis twice in single defense, but he also successfully interfered with Pierce's shooting during a misplaced defense change.
Pierce then misplaced his position on the offensive end and attempted to cause a foul on Lin Fei's shooting hand. However, Lin Fei accurately predicted the fake move of "Truth" and successfully avoided the collision. Then he jumped up and delivered a solid shot. Big hat.
"Snapped!"
This misplaced shot to block Pierce made the entire American Airlines Arena excited. Director Zhang of the Chinese commentary team in the stands was also extremely excited:
"Lin Fei's three-pointer tonight was normal, but his defense was absolutely amazing!"
"When faced with a mismatched All-Star small forward like Pierce, who is physically strong and has rich play styles, he was able to limit the opponent's scoring in two consecutive defense changes, and even delivered a shocking block!"
"I can only say that Lin Fei's defensive level has grown so fast in the new season. In my opinion, his current defensive performance is not inferior to Wade at all, and is even better than Wade!"
After the baptism throughout November, with the blessing of free attribute points, Lin Fei's comprehensive defensive attributes have been officially improved to 90 points, and his stealing attribute has reached 95 points.
With the improvement of defensive attributes, Lin Fei's physical fitness has also been greatly improved.
The bench press strength has reached 96 kilograms, and the 100-meter sprint has increased to 11.02 seconds.
Comparing Wade during this period, Wade's bench press strength was 106 kilograms and his 100-meter sprint was 10.85 seconds.
Even judging from Lin Fei's appearance, his arms, chest and abdominal muscles have become significantly developed. Compared with most defenders in the league, he is already as strong and fast as him.
Play the whole game,
Heat (108): (96) Celtics.
They easily defeated their opponents at home and got a good start in December.
Lin Fei played 29 minutes as a substitute, scoring 28 points on 8-of-10 three-pointers and free throws. He also had an overall performance of 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 1 block.
Among them, 4 steals in a single game are also Lin Fei's record for the number of steals in a single game in the NBA.
After returning to China, the Tianchao exclusive interview team also compiled the information from the interview and quickly produced a promotional video for Lin Fei, which was broadcast simultaneously on Tianchao's 5th and 1st sets.
The patriotic theme of this promotional video is obvious. It is called "Lin Fei and His Heavenly Dream" and lasts for 36 minutes. It comprehensively explains Lin Fei's entire process from CUBA in college to entering the NBA.
Among them, winning the CUBA scoring title and championship, losing the NBA draft, winning the NBA championship, winning the Olympic silver medal, and joining the Heat to start the new season are divided into five main parts.
In addition to the competition field, this promotional video reveals more about Lin Fei's hard work and efforts in daily training, as well as his ability to fight back against unfair treatment and racial discrimination overseas.
At the same time, it also revealed the daily life of the Heat players in detail. In addition to Lin Fei, the exclusive reporter also interviewed Ryu, Wade, O'Neal and Heat general manager Pat Riley.
This issue of the sports patriotic promotional video "Lin Fei and His Heavenly Dream" specially produced by Yangma has aroused great repercussions in the country once it was aired.
Many non-fan groups also gained great national pride from it, so they began to pay attention to Lin Fei and NBA games.
Time soon came to December 25th, and the annual Christmas war was about to begin.
Lin Fei will go to Los Angeles with the Heat to face the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant.
O'Neal will also return to his home court where he has played for 8 seasons, and the grievances between OK have also become the focus of media speculation.
Just two days ago, the Heat also officially reached a blockbuster deal with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Heat sent Eddie Jones, Rasual Butler, Kenyon Dooling, and a 2006 first-round draft pick.
Acquired "White Chocolate" Jason Williams, Shane Battier and Dundee Jones from the Memphis Grizzlies.
The arrival of top point guard "Bai Qiao" and future 3D "Batman" Shane Battier also allowed Pat Riley to officially complete the Heat's lineup configuration for the championship this season.
Jason Williams and Shane Battier also held a press conference for the Heat's new jerseys yesterday. "White Chocolate" wore the Heat's No. 55 jersey, while Shane Battier wore the No. 31.
Tonight, the two of them came to Los Angeles with the team,
This Christmas Day battle is also the first battle between the two in the Heat.
Being able to go from a small inland city like Memphis to play in Miami on the coast is naturally very happy for both of them, not to mention that the Heat are still a favorite to compete for the championship this season!
At the same time, the fan voting channel for the 2005 Denver All-Star Game also officially opened on Christmas Day...
Hundreds of millions of NBA fans around the world are eager to actively support their favorite NBA players through official voting and sending text messages.
For the majority of NBA fans in China, this day is as lively as the Chinese New Year.
