Chapter 281 The wolves counterattack, this is Lin Fei’s season!
Ray Allen held his head in his hands and was extremely frustrated. At this moment, he felt that he was the sinner of the Timberwolves and the sinner of history.
If the ball could have been passed out earlier, or a timeout had been called earlier, the tragedy of the game-winner after being intercepted would not have happened. It should have been the Timberwolves who were celebrating the victory now.
Lin Fei did commit a foul when grabbing the ball, but misjudgments accompany NBA games from beginning to end, not to mention the last 5 seconds of the finals.
Ray Allen has been in the league for 11 seasons, and he knows that arguing with the referee afterwards is a very stupid thing.
Garnett was not willing to accept the fact of losing, but he still showed his team boss style, walked to Ray Allen, patted his shoulder and comforted him:
"Lei, don't be discouraged. We just lost the first game. This is not necessarily a bad thing!"
“狼王”口是心非的咬着牙说出这句话,可恨他今晚的33分18篮板6助攻2抢断3封盖,就这样尴尬的成为里程悲了。
The home Timberwolves fans at the Target Center Arena still stood in their seats, their eyes dull and speechless for a long time. No one questioned the misjudgment, no one criticized the black whistle, and no one shouted angrily.
In the eyes of Timberwolves fans, this result seems to have been doomed before the game started, and the foreshadowing was laid on the day the Timberwolves won the championship in 04.
Lin Fei, the youngest MVP in NBA history and a top 60 superstar, is indeed here to collect debts!
总决赛g1落下帷幕,林飞的个人数据也最终定格在了63分14助攻6抢断1封盖。
The epic steals and long pass assists at the last moment are destined to be recorded in the glorious history of the NBA Finals.
At this time, Director Zhang also walked to the sidelines with great excitement. In front of the five cameras of Tianchao, he specially interviewed Lin Fei. G1 was the well-deserved MVP of tonight's finals.
"Lin Fei, first of all, I want to congratulate you for helping the Knicks complete the magical buzzer-beater and get a good start in this wonderful finals!"
"According to real-time statistics from Tianchao Radio 9700, the total number of mainland fans watching this game at this time has exceeded million. So what do you want to say to us fans now?"
Lin Fei had recovered slightly from his physical exhaustion, but his thighs were still cramped due to overexertion. At this moment, he put his hands on his hips and smiled in front of the camera:
"It was a surprise to me that nearly 100 million domestic fans watched this finals. Thank you everyone for supporting me and the NBA, even if you are a Timberwolves fan!"
Because of the tight interview time, Director Zhang sped up his speech and continued to ask:
"Lin Fei, tonight you scored 63 points under the tight defense of the Timberwolves, setting a new single-game scoring record in the NBA Finals. At the same time, you also used an assist to kill the game at the last moment. Share with the fans what you are doing now. Get in the mood!"
"This was an extremely difficult game for the Knicks and me. We were trailing for most of the time and were outgunned defensively and rebounding by the Timberwolves!"
"This Timberwolves team is a respectable Western Conference powerhouse. They have the strongest forward lineup in the league, but fortunately God is on our side in the end!"
"However, from this game, we have more things to reflect on. This round of the finals has just begun!"
"Finally, I still want to thank Trevor for completing that buzzer-beating dunk. This buzzer-beater made my 63 points tonight more meaningful!"
Director Zhang, Yang Yisuqun and others behind him were extremely excited. Unexpectedly, Lin Fei, the real boss, was always calm and calm. The four-person group couldn't help but sigh. This kind of mentality is indeed a person who can do great things!
Perhaps he noticed that Lin Fei had leg cramps, so the interview ended in a hurry. Lin Fei returned to the locker room with the help of a team doctor.
Then the Tianchao team interviewed Trevor Ariza, the Knicks blue-collar forward who was immersed in almost the whole game, but completed a shocking dunk at the last moment.
Although he only scored 9 points in the game, which was the least among the Knicks' starters, he also allowed his opponent Gerald Wallace to score 20 points.
But being able to complete the buzzer-beating smash in the NBA's highest level finals, Trevor Ariza's name must have been imprinted in the history of the NBA.
"It was Lin's long pass in the last 3 seconds that saved the Knicks and me. That moment was like the coming of God!"
"I suddenly feel like I'm good again. In the next finals, I have to work hard to score 15 points, or even more, and at the same time try to prevent that nasty guy Gerald Wallace from dying!"
Many star fans in the front row were reluctant to leave the field at this time, and seemed to be still immersed in this classic battle.
A beautiful reporter from ESPN came to Michael Jordan and wanted to interview him about his feelings about tonight's game.
Jordan, who was wearing a peaked cap, pouted in front of the microphone. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought for a while before speaking:
"This will be a great finals, and I will come again for the next one!"
In the post-match statistics, players from both teams also set multiple records in this finals, which demonstrated the classicness and excitement of the game at the data level.
In addition to Lin Fei's 63 points in a single game, breaking the 45-year-old personal scoring record in a single game in the finals,
Lin Fei's 6 steals tonight are second only to Robert Horry's 1995 steals in a single game on behalf of the Rockets in the 7 Finals, and are tied with many players for second place in Finals history.
At the same time, Lin Fei made 28 of 19 shots tonight, with a shooting percentage of 67.8%, creating the second-highest shooting percentage among all players with 40+ points in a single game in the history of the NBA Finals.
The holder of the highest hit rate is still Lin Fei.
Coupled with the two 50+ points scored in last season's finals, Lin Fei has become the only NBA superstar to score at least 50 points in the finals three times.
凯文·加内特今晚用接近60%的命中率高效轰下33分,外加18篮板6助攻2抢断3封盖,数据相当全面,
18 rebounds in a single game is also "Wolf King" Garnett's single-game rebound record in the Finals.
In addition, the Timberwolves grabbed a total of 56 rebounds tonight, while the Knicks only had 35.
There was a gap of 21 rebounds, but it was the Knicks who won in the end. This is also a unique miracle in the NBA Finals.
While Lin Fei scored a double-double with 63 points and 14 assists, he had zero rebounds, which is also very rare in the finals.
At the Knicks press conference after the game, Lin Fei was also deliberately sarcastic by a white reporter and faced a rather embarrassing question:
"Haha, Lin Fei, your personal statistics tonight are 63 points, 14 assists, 6 steals and 1 block. Among them, the points, assists and steals are all the highest in the game, but only the rebound data is 0! On the other hand, Ray, who is playing against you ·Allen grabbed 6 rebounds, what do you think of this?"
Lin Fei: "..."
Facing the white reporter's awkward yet polite smile, Lin Fei still said calmly:
"I'm just sitting and watching. Maybe this means the collapse of another NBA truth? Teams that control rebounds sometimes may not win the game!"
After a brief silence, there was a round of applause from many reporters in the conference room.
What Lin Fei said may not necessarily be the truth, but as the winner of G1 in this finals, his right to speak is unquestionable.
In this era of the jungle, strength is the truth, and strength is the kingly way!
Major sports newspapers and magazines in the United States rushed to report on the Knicks' decisive victory in G1 of the Finals. Lin Fei's record-breaking 63 points in the Finals was even more popular.
On the Chinese side, hundreds of millions of domestic fans are also extremely excited. After Lin Fei led the Knicks to win a game first, they finally feel confident and have more eager expectations for the next finals.
"Haha, haven't the American media always been saying that the West is strong and the East is weak? Look who won G1 in the finals? Is it a slap in the face?"
"Brother Fei's 63 points were incredible. His divine steal and assist in the last 3 seconds was the final word. He's so damn handsome!"
"To be honest, the overall strength of the Timberwolves is indeed much better than that of the Knicks. The Knicks' victory in this game depends entirely on Lin Fei's unexpected change of fate! But no matter how strong Lin Fei is, he cannot break out every game. , the Knicks must be cautious in the next game!"
"Lin Fei alone scored more than half of the Knicks' points. The other players should reflect on this! If we continue to play like this, we will definitely lose the next game!"
"63 points in the finals. Oh my god. Lin Fei scored 50+ points in three finals games by himself. How embarrassing this is for celebrities like Elgin Baylor and Michael Jordan!"
"50+ in three games is not enough. I have a hunch that Brother Fei will get another 50+ in the next game!"
"In this G1, the Knicks lost 21 rebounds to the Timberwolves. If it weren't for Lin Fei's unexpected change of fate, the game would definitely have been a miserable loss. In the next game, Eddie Curry and Zach Randolph would have lost rebounds to the Timberwolves. Have some fun!"
"Do you still expect Randolph to come back for the next game? He will probably be suspended for at least two or three games, right?"
On the latest all-information hot search list launched by New Wolf Network,
The news that Lin Fei scored a record-breaking 63 points in the finals and led his team to beat the Timberwolves at the buzzer quickly climbed to the top of the list, with more than 3000 million hits.
Check out hot search news such as Liu Yifei's Haolaiwu movie "The King of Kung Fu", Jay Chou's new album "I'm Very Busy", which is pre-promoted by Jay Chou, Hong Kong tycoon Hong Jinbao bought a luxury house in the imperial capital for the popular actress Fan Bingbing, etc. All covered up.
From the regular season to the playoffs and then to the finals, Lin Fei created miracles again and again, setting countless NBA records one after another, making the league's 06-07 season a legend for Lin Fei alone.
78 points in a single game in the regular season, 35 points in 16 seconds in the playoffs, 63 points in a single game in the finals...
In the final preparations for the Olympic Games, Lin Fei, the world-renowned NBA superstar, has become the best business card and spokesperson for the Imperial Capital Olympics.
At the Pangu Seven-Star Hotel opposite the Bird's Nest at the National Stadium on the North Fourth Ring Road, the huge advertising screen on the building's exterior wall also displays Lin Fei's advertisements for the Imperial Capital Olympics 24 hours a day.
As cars pass by on the viaduct of the Fourth Ring Road, many drivers and passengers can always see the majesty of the Bird's Nest and Lin Fei's huge Olympic ambassador poster through the car windows.
"This Lin Fei is really famous now. I heard that he is already famous in the NBA before he is 23 years old. He is even better than Yao from the Rockets, right?"
"Haha, I see that you don't usually like to watch NBA games. Lin Fei can't be said to have made a name for himself in the NBA now. It is completely the face of the entire NBA league. Super giants like O'Neal and Kobe have to step aside!"
"Also, Dayao is no longer in the Rockets, he has gone to the Lakers long ago!"
"Oh, I can't say I don't like watching it. I was a loyal fan of the Rockets for the two years when Yao first went to the NBA, but I can't spare the time now. I'm too busy with business!"
"No matter how busy I am, I will definitely watch the match between Lin Fei and the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team at the Imperial City Olympics next year!"
"Yes, both Arab League and Sun Yue will participate in the NBA draft this year. The level of basketball in our country is getting stronger year by year! We won the silver medal in 04, and we will sprint for the gold medal in 08!"
"The overall strength of basketball has improved, but football..."
"Stop it, buddy, let's talk about something happy!"
As the Knicks unexpectedly won the Finals G1, this round of the Finals, which was originally considered one-sided, began to add more variables.
In ESPN's latest professional prediction, the Knicks' probability of winning has increased from 19% to 24%.
In the finals mvp rankings, Kevin Garnett still ranks first, Lin Fei ranks second, Ray Allen ranks third, and Gerald Wallace ranks fourth.
It can be seen that even though Lin Fei led the team to win with an incredible performance and led the Timberwolves 1:0 in the finals, the mainstream media is still more optimistic about the Timberwolves winning the championship.
After all, judging from the entire process of the first game of the Finals, the Timberwolves had a clear advantage most of the time, especially in defense and rebounding.
Lin Fei is amazing this season, with 7 buzzer beaters in the regular season and 1 buzzer beater in the playoffs. In the finals, he also led the team to complete a 63-point reversal in the final quarter with a 21-point crazy performance.
But no matter how strong a superstar is, there are moments when his status fluctuates.
Throughout the regular season, Lin Fei also had 9 situations where the team fell behind within 10 points in the final quarter and was unable to lead the team to complete the comeback. He also missed the winning goal within the last 24 seconds of the game 3 times.
After all, humans are humans, not gods.
At a riverside villa ten kilometers away from the Target Center Arena, although it was already early in the evening, a shirtless Ray Allen was still practicing three-point shooting on his open-air basketball court.
"Shh! Shh! Shh!"
In the past two hours or so, Ray Allen has made more than 800 three-point shots.
At this time, Ray Allen's arm was already sore and his face and body were dripping with sweat. However, in his mind, the nightmare scene of being intercepted by Lin Fei at the last moment of the game still kept popping up in his mind.
If it weren't for his fatal mistake, it would definitely not be the Timberwolves who lost tonight.
As the fourth figure in the 96 golden generation after Kobe, Iverson and Nash, Ray Allen has experienced 11 seasons, and this year is the first time in his career that he has reached the finals.
As the first NBA finals game in his career, Ray Allen prepared carefully. Despite facing Lin Fei in the whole game, he was still able to score 14 points and 6 rebounds efficiently, which is actually quite rare.
But the missed steal at the last moment completely ruined the efforts of him and his teammates throughout the game.
Ray Allen's heart is full of guilt and unwillingness. In the next G2 of the Finals, he must do his best to avenge his shame and work hard to complete the battle of redemption.
The next morning, the NBA headquarters also held a high-level meeting and decided to impose severe suspensions on Ron Artest and Zach Randolph for brawling at the end of the game.
Among them, Ron Artest was suspended for 3 games and fined US$80, and Zach Randolph was suspended for 2 games and fined US$50.
Obviously, judging from the extent of the fight, the suspension penalty imposed by NBA headquarters is a bit light. Both Artest and Randolph should be suspended for at least 5 games, or even miss the finals completely.
But perhaps because of the popularity and gimmicks of the finals,
In the end, David Stern cared more about interests, so he reduced the suspensions of Artest and Randolph as appropriate, allowing them to return to the court before the end of the finals and continue to add intensity and gunpowder to the game.
You must know that starting from Lin Fei's record-breaking 1 points in the finals G63 to lead the team to the victory, this high-profile finals has been placed high hopes by the league headquarters and David Stern.
I hope it can eventually evolve into one of the most exciting and intense single-round finals in NBA history, thereby bringing greater commercial benefits and global influence to the league.
On June 6, it was still the Target Center Arena, and the second game of the 9-06 NBA Finals came as scheduled.
The Timberwolves, who learned their shame and then became brave, had all the troops, from the starting lineup to the substitutes, everyone was strong and strong. At the same time, they also continued to use G1's strict defensive strategy against Lin Fei.
Although the Knicks have improved in rebounding and defense, they still cannot match the offensive and defensive intensity of the Timberwolves.
Coupled with Randolph's suspension, the Knicks' inside rotation was stretched thin, and Eddie Curry and David Lee were unable to withstand eight attacks.
Under the constant stalking of Gerald Wallace, Lin Fei's shooting rate was still efficient, but it was significantly lower than that of G1.
最终,在凯文·加内特26分17篮板5助攻3抢断4封盖,雷·阿伦22分6篮板2抢断,杰拉德18分,森林狼5人得分上双的带动下,
The team defeated the Knicks 116:101 at home, rewriting the series' big score to a 1:1 tie.
林飞全场下来虽然也用31投18中的高效操作狂轰47分10助攻1篮板3抢断2封盖,但终究还是没能抵过对手的群狼猛扑,无奈吞下败仗。
Although he lost this finals G2, Lin Fei's 47 points tonight brought his personal total score in the NBA Finals to 566 points, surpassing Kevin McHale and Julius Erving and soaring To the 22nd place in history.
He is also the player with the fewest appearances among the top 30 players in the NBA Finals individual scoring list.
