NBA: I have 3 but no D, and I still can’t dribble.

dallas.

American Airlines Arena.

The Los Angeles Lakers' away game against the Dallas Mavericks almost ended on the back foot of the Rockets vs. Heat game.

Although the Lakers lost O'Neal, the league's No. center in the new season, their strength has shrunk significantly, and they also lost two games in a row at the beginning of the new season.

But tonight, facing the mighty Mavericks led by Nowitzki, Black Mamba Bryant ushered in an explosion after knowing his shame.

全场狂轰48分7篮板5助攻3抢断1封盖，完全打爆了对位的迈克尔·芬利，命中准绝杀2分险胜小牛，拒绝开局三连败。

Odom also scored 20+10 for the first time since joining the Lakers, and Caron Butler scored 16 points.

In the post-game interview, ESPN’s beautiful reporter Erin Andrews came to Kobe’s side:

"Kobe, congratulations on playing another classic game tonight, can you talk to the fans about the reason for your explosion?"

Kobe faced the microphone, full of domineering, confident and stubborn:

"Many fans are not optimistic about the Lakers in the new season because that guy has left, but I just want to prove with actions that without that guy, the Lakers still have a chance to win the championship!"

"Kobe, what do you think about Lin's 14 three-pointers in tonight's game between the Rockets and the Heat, breaking your single-game three-point record and also scoring 51 points?"

After hearing what Andrews said, Kobe was stunned, and the cold look on his face disappeared instantly:

"What? Lin made 14 three-pointers tonight?"

"I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. This guy's three-pointer is really crazy!"

……

With Lin Fei's superb performance in the Heat vs. Rockets game, a "Linsanity" storm once again set off across the United States.

Lin Fei's No. 22 jersey for the Heat has seen a steady increase in genuine sales.

14 three-pointers in a single game and the youngest 50-pointer. These two labels have made Lin Fei a popular supernova in the NBA.

Coupled with the fact that Lin Fei was the championship winner in his rookie season and the Olympic silver medal, his overall popularity has overwhelmed his teammate Wade, not even losing to LeBron James.

As the big brother of the world's sports brand, Nike signed James with 7 million US dollars in 9000 years, but they were unwilling to give Lin Fei a sneaker contract with an annual salary of more than 800 million US dollars last season, and finally missed out on this huge potential stock.

But Ding Shizhong, the chairman of Anta Group, burst into laughter.

Lin Fei's popularity at home and abroad has soared, coupled with his high-quality idol image, this has allowed Anta's brand value to continue to rise, and sales of genuine clothing and sports shoes have increased steadily in various places.

Some current NBA stars and retired celebrities also discussed Lin Fei's 14 three-pointers in a single game and the youngest 50-point feat in public.

Kobe Bryant: "Lin has always been a rookie that I admire very much. His ceiling will exceed that of Reggie Miller and Ray Allen!"

Reggie Miller: "Since the beginning of the NBA, no player has shot three-pointers like Lin. His success cannot be replicated!"

Steve Nash: "The emergence of Lin has changed the NBA's iron law that the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score. The future league is likely to enter a new era!"

Hakeem Olajuwon: "If the Rockets had a player like Lin in the 90s, the Chicago Bulls would never have won six championships!"

Allen Iverson: "This is a magical game. Lin's 14 three-pointers seem to herald the reform of the league!"

LeBron James: "I regret that the Cavaliers didn't get Lin in the offseason. His team has always been a good contender for the championship!"

In view of Lin Fei's huge influence among domestic fans, the General Administration of Television of China Channel decided to send a professional interview team to the United States to conduct a high-profile interview with Lin Fei after discussion.

After the game against the Rockets, Lin Fei accompanied the Heat to the away game and took a special flight to the east coast city of Philadelphia. Two days later, he faced the Philadelphia 76ers led by Allen Iverson.

Philadelphia has been king for ten years, so why not win a championship in his lifetime?

Lin Fei liked Iverson's style of play very much in his original world. He was his idol in junior high school.

But after winning the MVP in 01 and leading the team to the finals, the Philadelphia 76ers led by Iverson fell into ups and downs and were never able to break through.

This also fully exposed the disconnect between Iverson's personal style of play and the team's record. AI is considered a charming star, but not a qualified team leader.

With the conflict between Iverson and Larry Brown leading to the departure of the head coach, the Philadelphia 76ers have been unable to find a suitable head coach in the past two seasons, which has also directly affected the team's tacit understanding and record.

The Philadelphia 76ers lineup for the new season is dominated by Allen Iverson, Mark Jackson, Kyle Korver, and rookie Iguodala.

The 2ers, who started the regular season with 1 wins and 76 loss, seem to have a good record, but they have not yet encountered a strong team.

Stan Van Gundy's goal for the Heat generals is naturally to win the 76ers and hit the four-game winning streak.

On the night when Lin Fei and the Heat players arrived in Philadelphia, NBA officials also officially announced the best players in the East and West for the first week of the new season.

Western aspect.

Players nominated for Player of the Week are:

Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Ray Allen of the Seattle SuperSonics, Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs, and Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns.

To the surprise of the fans, Nash finally won the Western Conference Player of the Week award by virtue of averaging 17.2 points and 12.6 assists per game and leading the team to three consecutive victories.

The Phoenix Suns' start to the new season shocked fans. They won three games in a row and averaged more than 3 points per game, ranking first in the league in offensive efficiency.

Except for Lin Fei, a traveler, probably no one would have expected that the magic of the Suns this season has just begun, and the whirlwind of the first generation of the small ball era is sweeping wildly.

In the Eastern Conference, the players nominated for Best of the Week are:

Jason Kidd of the New Jersey Nets, Chauncey Billups of the Detroit Pistons, Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics, and Lin Fei of the Miami Heat.

In the end, Lin Fei relied on the Heat's three-game winning streak in the new season, averaging 34 points per game (second in the league). Especially in the third game, Lin Fei blasted 14 three-pointers and became the youngest 51-pointer in the league.

Without any suspense, he was elected as the Player of the Week in the first week of the Eastern Conference in the 04-05 season.

Although Lin Fei has almost no other statistics other than scoring and steals, and his technical bias is always serious, but this does not affect his decisive role on the court.

According to NBA big data, Lin Fei has become the youngest foreign player to win the Player of the Week award in NBA history.

At the same time, Lin Fei is also the first foreign player in the NBA to score 50+ points (Olajuwon's late addition to American citizenship does not include this!).

According to the reward mechanism in the contract signed between Lin Fei and the Heat, this Eastern Conference Player of the Week will also give Lin Fei a bonus of 3 dollars.

There was not much suspense in the game against the 76ers. Wade and O'Neal returned to normal in this game. In addition, the 76ers' defense was empty and their ability to protect the penalty area was poor.

This gave Wade and O'Neal a lot of room to play. Lin Fei returned as the sixth man. The Heat suppressed Philadelphia for almost the whole game and finally won a solid victory 112:101.

韦德在这场比赛中和艾弗森互爆，全场轰下31分6篮板9助攻2抢断1封盖，艾弗森则是空砍36分。

养生的奥尼尔也轻松拿下22分11篮板2封盖，林飞则是出战27分钟，三分球8中7，加罚球拿下23分。

With the victory over the 76ers, the Heat won their first four consecutive games, ended three consecutive away games, and finally returned to Miami's home court.

Then they played the visiting Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks consecutively at home. These two teams are underdogs in the Eastern Conference. The Heat won easily, and the winning streak came to 6 games.

Lin Fei hit 6 three-pointers and 9 three-pointers respectively in these two games.

At the beginning of the new season, he scored at least 6 three-pointers in six consecutive regular season games, which also created a new history.

With the start of this wave of 6 consecutive victories, the Miami Heat's record has also directly reached the first place in the Eastern Conference.

The Phoenix Suns, number one in the Western Conference, also have a record of 6 wins and 0 losses.

Next, the Heat will go to Phoenix and face the Phoenix Suns led by Steve Nash.

The Suns' starting five this season are:

Point guard (pg): Steve Nash,

Shooting guard (sg): Quentin Richardson,

Small forward (sf): Joe Johnson,

Power Forward (PF): Shawn Marion,

Center (c): Amar'e Stoudemire.

Stoudemire, Marion, and singles Joe are all players averaging around 20+ per game at this time, plus Nash, the organizational brain, and Quentin Richardson, who is active in defense,

Under D'Antoni's running and bombing tactics, the Suns completely turned into a phoenix. The sharp fast breaks and wonderful cooperation made the opponent very uncomfortable.

The same is true for the Heat. O'Neal's heavy tonnage has become a hindrance. Stoudemire and Marion can also run, jump and have unlimited energy. Coupled with Nash's sorting, this gave the Suns the upper hand at the beginning.

Precisely because D'Antoni and Nash know Lin Fei very well, in terms of defense, the Suns have also formulated the most effective way to defend Lin Fei.

The core of this method is to strangle the ball player and passing line, and actively switch defenses when encountering pick-and-roll situations.

The physical conditions of Marion and Stoudemire are very suitable for playing small ball, and they are fully capable of unlimited defensive changes on the defensive end. This makes it difficult for Wang Linfei and the inside screen to produce results and opportunities.

Throughout the game, although Wade had 8 assists, he also made 7 turnovers, giving the Suns too many fast break opportunities.

Under the youthful storm of the Suns, which has unlimited defense changes, Lin Fei only took 7 shots tonight, hitting 5 three-pointers and scoring 18 points including free throws.

This is also the first time Lin Fei scored less than 20+ in the new season.

Although Wade, who is the first main attack point, also has 28 points, his efficiency is not high.

Under the constant defense and double-teaming of Stoudemire and Marion, O'Neal found it difficult to catch the ball comfortably in the penalty area. He only took 11 shots in the game and scored 17 points including free throws.

The Suns, playing at home, played a hearty game. Under the leadership of Nash with 15 assists, Stoudemire, Marion and Joe Johnson all scored 20+ points.

The substitutes also scored 25 points under the leadership of Barcelona Lightning Barbosa.

In the end, the Suns beat the Miami Heat 116:102. While ending the Heat's 6-game winning streak, they also won the opening 7-game winning streak.

Losing this game also gave Heat coach Stan Van Gundy a clearer understanding of some of the problems facing the team.

There is not a qualified point guard in the team, and Wade is often asked to organize, but Wade is not a first-class point guard after all, and there is a clear gap between his organizational ability and Steve Nash.

And when facing flexible insiders, the 32-year-old O'Neal will inevitably suffer in fast-paced games. Lin Fei's three-point catch is also difficult to exert its power in front of unlimited defenses.

As the game ended, Lin Fei and Nash hugged and communicated with each other. Although the game was lost, it was not a bad thing for the Heat.

"Lin, how is the Suns' offensive system now? Does it feel more suitable for your characteristics?"

Nash smiled, still feeling a little regretful about not being able to join forces with Lin Fei in the new season.

Lin Fei smiled and said: "Steve, my greatest energy now has been transferred from three-pointers to defense!"

"Offense wins box office, but defense wins championships!"

Although Lin Fei "only" hit 5 three-pointers tonight, he performed well on the defensive end, contributing a career-high 4 steals in a single game.

Whether he was guarding Quentin Richardson or switching to guard Nash and Joe Johnson, Lin Fei performed very well and worked hard, which was recognized by Stan Van Gundy.

As he continues to win games and gain free attribute points, Lin Fei's comprehensive defensive attribute has now reached 87 points, and his steal attribute has reached 94.

Putting more energy into defense has more or less affected the state of the offensive end, but Lin Fei believes that he will continue to adjust and do better.

After hearing Lin Fei's words, "Offense wins the box office, defense wins the championship," Nash also had a solemn look on his face.

For the current Suns, defense is indeed a big problem, but it was temporarily overshadowed by offense and winning streak during the regular season.

Lin Fei's three-pointer was indispensable for the Timberwolves' championship last season, but Garnett's defensive system is the team's mainstay.

Although the Suns defeated the Heat at home tonight, in Nash's view, the Heat's overall strength is still stronger than the Suns.

"Lin, you are becoming more and more mature now, let's work hard together!"

Lin Fei also smiled confidently: "Steve, in June next year, I hope we can meet again in the finals!"

Nash's eyes flashed. He didn't expect that Lin Fei's ambitions were really big. He had already thought of next year's finals right after the regular season started.

"Haha, Lin, you are a champion after all, but I only touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals once!"

"But this season is indeed a good opportunity for the Suns and I, so I hope we can meet in the finals!"

The fans of the Suns at home in the American West Arena, seeing the team win the powerful Miami Heat at home, are naturally even more excited, looking forward to the unlimited prospects of the team this season.

"Last season's record was at the bottom of the Western Conference. This season started with a 7-game winning streak. Steve's ability to lead the team is so strong!"

"It seems we have to say sorry to Steve. As much as we hated him before the season started, we love him now!"

"D'Antoni's offensive tactics are really good. The league is about to enter an era of fast-paced offense and defense!"

"With Lin here, this Suns team would be perfect, definitely at the championship level!"

"It is suggested to use Joe Johnson and the first-round pick to replace Lin. I don't know if the Heat management will agree!"

"Pat Riley is not a fool, let alone Joe Johnson, even Stoudemire and Steve, they probably wouldn't change!"

After losing to the Suns, the Heat quickly adjusted and rebounded. After returning home, they won the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers and Denver Nuggets.

Facing the platinum representatives of the 03 generation, Wade and Lin Fei cooperated tacitly, allowing James and Anthony to return home in defeat.

The second-year James did not have very good helpers around him in the Cavaliers at this time. Although Big Z was an All-Star, he was easily beaten by O'Neal.

Coupled with Boozer's departure, it will still be difficult for the Cavaliers to reach the playoffs this season.

James questioned the management's inaction and looked forward to getting a strong helper as soon as possible.

After all, he is the No. 03 pick of the generation, and Lin Fei has already won the championship in the same year. We must not watch Wade and Lin Fei compete for the championship again.

During this period, the Nuggets were already a playoff-level team, with both the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the team. Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby supported the inside line, and Anthony's firepower was further upgraded.

But compared with the Heat, these two teams have a big gap in strength.

With a record of 8 wins and 1 loss, Lin Fei and the Heat flew to Minneapolis, where they will challenge their old club, the defending champion Timberwolves, in an away game.

This game back to the Target Center is also of great significance to Lin Fei, because as the main force of the Timberwolves last season,

Lin Fei will officially receive the first championship ring of his career before the game starts.

As Lin Fei's best friend during his time in the Timberwolves, Czerbiak greeted him at the airport early, and brought Lin Fei, Wade, O'Neal and roughly four people to his villa together.

Lin Fei naturally had a different feeling in his heart when he revisited his old place.

Not only did I eat my sister-in-law’s steak that I had longed for, but I also relived the scenery of the docks on the banks of the Mississippi River and the small villa where I had lived for a year during my morning run the next day.

It is already very cold in Minneapolis in mid-to-late November, with an average temperature of around -5 degrees, and the highest temperature at noon is only 4-5 degrees, which is a completely different world from Miami.

After all, Lin Fei had lived here for a year and had grown up in the Imperial City since he was a child. He had long been accustomed to the cold winter. Wade and O'Neal couldn't do it. They caught a cold early the next morning, which affected the state of the game to some extent.

"Lin, when we play against our old club tonight, it's all up to you!"

"Yes, that guy Kevin actually said that the Timberwolves can still win the championship without you, so you have to slap him in the face tonight!"

6:30 p.m., Target Center Arena.

The auditoriums on all sides were packed with people, and the seats were packed.

After winning the championship last season, the Timberwolves' fan base has become broader and the team's value has also been significantly improved.

Before the game starts.

Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor personally walked onto the court to present Lin Fei with last season's championship ring. The Target Center Arena was filled with cheers and applause from Timberwolves fans.

Lin Fei couldn't help but smile with tears in his eyes. He shook hands and hugged his boss Glen Taylor. At the same time, he took the royal blue luxury championship ring, put it on the ring finger of his left hand, and then raised it high to the fans. Waving.

This arena where I stayed for a whole season is where my NBA dream began. There are so many unforgettable memories for Lin Fei here.

The difference from last season is that at this time, a championship flag has been hung on the roof of the stadium: the 2003-2004 championship Minnesota Timberwolves.

Standing on the sidelines,

On one side are Lin Fei’s old teammates from the Timberwolves: Wolf King, Madman, Alien, Szebiak, Olowokandi, Hassell...

On the other side are Lin Fei's new teammates in the Heat: O'Neal, Wade, Roughly, Eddie Jones, Haslem, Tony Allen...

Seeing Lin Fei wearing the first championship ring of his NBA career, the players from both teams also smiled and sincerely applauded Lin Fei.

The Wolf King was full of memories. When he saw Lin Fei, he remembered the passionate time of fighting side by side in the Western Conference Finals and the Finals last season.

O'Neal Wade is full of longing, looking forward to being able to break the embarrassing situation of no championship in team history for the Miami Heat this season like the Timberwolves.

After all, O'Neal already has three championship rings, and Lin Fei now has one too, but apart from these two, none of the Heat's other players, including Wade, has a championship ring.

At this moment, on the high-definition four-sided screen on the roof of the pavilion, the Timberwolves' official top ten personal goals of last season, edited by Lin Fei himself, were also played accordingly.

Each wonderful three-pointer, each sharp move, and the figure wearing the Timberwolves No. 22 jersey made countless Timberwolves fans at the scene shed tears.

"Lin, we love you!"

"Lin, come back, Minneapolis will always be your home!"

"Wooooow, I miss Lin's three-pointer. If he is still in the Timberwolves, how great it would be!"

When the applause and cheers dropped a few decibels, Timberwolves boss Glenn Taylor, who was standing next to Lin Fei, also took the initiative to pick up the microphone and smiled at Lin Fei:

"Lin, come back to Target Arena, tell me how you feel at the moment?"

Lin Fei's eyes were still shining, and he said emotionally into the microphone:

"Minneapolis fans, I'm back! I love this championship ring and I love each and every one of you!"
