NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11 Collect the official ball and get a 10x speed training card!
Garnett quickly smiled and let go of Lin Fei, calming down his mood a little, and nodded:
"Well, Lin, you're right, now is not the time to celebrate!"
"But there is no doubt that your performance tonight saved the team and saved me!"
"Really, thank you!"
Looking at the "Wolf King" who showed his true feelings, his eyes even sparkled, Lin Fei was also a little moved.
No one really knows how panicked Garnett was and how heavy the pressure was when the Timberwolves trailed by 8 points in the last eight minutes of the final quarter.
This season, in order to build a three-headed monster, Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor has spent the team's total salary on the team exceeding $7000 million.
Ranked fourth among the 30 teams in the league.
The NBA salary cap for the 03-04 season is 4380 million, and the luxury tax line is 5023 million.
According to league regulations, for every dollar a team's salary exceeds the luxury line, it must pay a dollar's worth of luxury tax.
Therefore, the luxury tax paid by the Timberwolves owner this season is as high as 2000 million US dollars.
The biggest reason for this is Garnett's sky-high contract.
As we all know, during the 1998 offseason, Garnett signed a six-year, $6 million contract with the Timberwolves.
How can I describe the impact of this contract? It can be said to be so terrifying that it directly led to the league's suspension and season reduction in the 98-99 season.
This season is also the last year of Garnett's six-year contract. His salary increase has reached US$6 million, ranking first in the league.
Even "Shark" O'Neal's salary this season is only more than 2400 million.
With a salary that exceeds half of the team's salary cap, if the team is swept by the Lakers Gentleman 4:1 in the Western Conference Finals,
The "Wolf King" is really not worthy of his sky-high contract, and he is also not worthy of the tens of millions of luxury taxes paid by his boss.
Although the direct reason for the Timberwolves' 1:3 deficit in the Western Conference Finals was Sam Cassell's injury,
But the "alien" Kassel only has an annual salary of more than 500 million this season, but he has played a 1500 million-level point guard performance, which is worthy of the boss and fans both emotionally and rationally.
The reason why the Timberwolves have no one on the back line after Cassell's injury is that in the final analysis, Garnett's big contract restricts the team's reinforcements.
But tonight, with Lin Fei's unexpected outburst, the Timberwolves escaped from danger, continuing the suspense of the Western Conference Finals.
而凯文·加内特全场的31分15篮板7助攻2封盖2抢断，特别是最后时刻的关键抢断和防守篮板，也无愧于球队的真正领袖。
At least judging from tonight’s game,
The little-known Lin Fei is the well-deserved savior of the Timberwolves and his "Wolf King".
"Lin, the super long three-pointer you just made was so cool. You shot it at your will from 12 meters away. How dare you?"
"Madman", Szebiak and others also rushed forward excitedly. Although the team was still lagging behind in the series, the situation of qualifying was still very unfavorable.
But tonight's big reversal really boosted the morale of the team, especially for the main generals of the Timberwolves to see the hope of reversing the series.
"Latrell, you have already passed the ball to me, and you still ask me why I dare to shoot?"
Everyone burst into laughter, and the straight-tempered and nervous "Madman" touched the back of his head and said awkwardly:
"I don't know why I passed the ball to you at that time. I always feel that if I give you the ball, you can score immediately!"
"I admit that I gambled, but I bet right!"
Sizebiak rushed up from the middle, put his arms around Lin Fei and "Madman" respectively, and said with a smile:
"The two of you are really a perfect match, one dares to pass, the other dares to vote!"
The official height of "Madman" is 1.96 meters, and Lin Fei is standing beside "Madman" at this time, the height is not much less than that, at most he is 2 cm shorter.
Lin Fei's height when participating in last year's draft was 1.90 meters barefoot and 1.92 meters wearing shoes.
But now it has risen significantly, and the height with shoes is about 1.94 meters.
Lin Fei is naturally quite satisfied with the fact that he is still growing taller, and it would be even better if his wingspan could increase even more.
Jordan and Kobe are both 1.98 meters tall, and Lin Fei's ideal height is naturally around 1.98 meters.
Any higher is not good and will seriously affect the coordination of the body.
Fortunately, Lin Fei has a system by his side. I believe that with the accumulation of free attribute points and the gradual improvement of basketball attributes,
Lin Fei can also transform his dynamic attributes, physical fitness, jumping, explosive power and coordination through harder training and the help of system props.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, he scored 7 three-pointers in a row in the final quarter of the game, helping the team reverse the victory and obtain 50 free attribute points]
[Ding, the system randomly rewards: a ten times speed training card, a ten times endurance training card, and a ten times strength training card]
Listening to the series of rewards from the system, Lin Fei's eyes shone with light. It seemed that the system was still very conscientious.
If you win a game, you will get 50 free attribute rewards, but I don't know how much it can increase if you add it to the basketball attribute.
Lin Fei's consciousness clicked on the three reward cards in the system's backpack, and the system's explanation immediately popped up:
[Ding, three ten-fold training cards can help the host increase the training effect tenfold on the three attributes of speed, strength, and endurance. They are valid for one month]
Lin Fei was suddenly pleasantly surprised and glanced at the system panel. Currently, his three personal attributes of speed, endurance, and strength were unsatisfactory.
They are speed 59, endurance 48 and strength 50.
You must know that if these three basic attributes can be significantly improved, it will be a transformation in talent.
Especially when facing tougher defenses, improvements in speed, endurance and strength will help Huang Tian run into a better position during confrontations, making it easier to catch the ball and score.
Lin Fei's unexpected outbreak in this game can be said to have caught the Lakers and "Zen Master" by surprise.
But then back to the Lakers home court in G6 of the Western Conference Finals,
The coaching team of "Zen Master" will definitely study Lin Fei's off-ball running characteristics carefully and formulate a more targeted defensive strategy.
Lin Fei's black hole attributes on the defensive end are likely to be targeted by the Lakers on the offensive end.
Although they lost the game, the Lakers players still walked to the tunnel with high spirits.
Kobe smiled like a gentleman and waved goodbye to the Timberwolves fans on both sides of the tunnel who shouted and provoked him:
"Thank you, see you next season!"
What Kobe said couldn't be more clear. The series will not return to the Target Center Arena, and the Lakers will end the battle in the next game.
O'Neal also lazily patted his belly and smiled at a white fan wearing Garnett's No. 21 jersey next to the tunnel:
"Hey man, I think you should wear No. 22 instead of No. 21!"
The meaning of "Big Shark" is also very obvious. If No. 22 Lin Fei hadn't scored 7 three-pointers tonight,
Then their hero star Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves can already squat on the floor and beat his chest and feet.
To be honest, O'Neal didn't perform very well tonight, he only scored 17 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 5 fouls.
远逊于狼王的31分15篮板7助攻2封盖2抢断。
But O'Neal only took 11 shots tonight, and he had no intention of competing with Kobe for the ball. Overall, he played more Buddhist style, which is also a potential factor in the Timberwolves' reversal.
But when he returns to home in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals the day after tomorrow, O'Neal knows he must shoulder his responsibility.
If you want to beat the wolf king, for the 32-year-old O'Neill, who is at his peak, he still has his hands.
He has always been the boss of this Lakers team, not the arrogant No. 8!
After Lin Fei celebrated a little with the players, he also got the official ball for tonight's game from his teammates.
And he walked to the technical stage and negotiated with the referee team.
This was Lin Fei's famous game on the NBA court. He scored 7 consecutive three-pointers in the final quarter and scored 21 points, directly helping the team complete a great comeback.
Therefore, Lin Fei must collect the official ball for this game.
Joey Crawford, the referee who was officiating tonight's game, also smiled and agreed to Lin Fei's request to collect the game ball. At the same time, he patted Lin Fei on the shoulder and said:
"Kid, you played great. I feel lucky to be officiating this game tonight!"
"Keep up the good work and look forward to your better performance in the future!"
I have to say that bald Crawford is still very kind outside the game.
Lin Fei is not good at polite negotiations in public, but he still understands the basics of the world, so he also blows a few words against the old man against his will:
"Mr. Crawford, your whistleblowing is very fair! God bless you with good health!"
Offending a famous NBA referee at Crawford's level is not a wise choice for a player.
Duncan sat on the bench and laughed for less than three seconds before he was directly kicked out by Crawford. This operation was really a bit crazy.
ESPN's beautiful anchor and reporter Erin Andrews was also holding a microphone at this time, twisting her sexy waist and walking up to Lin Fei with a bright smile.
"Lin, it's a great honor to interview you!"
"Without a doubt, you are the hero of the Timberwolves and Target Center tonight!"
As for Erin Andrews, a famous beauty reporter from ESPN, Lin Fei, as a die-hard NBA fan in his previous life, had naturally heard of her deeds.
During this period, Erin Andrews had just entered ESPN, and her career would reach its peak around 07. She was elected the most beautiful anchor in America for two consecutive years.
Andrews, who is 1.78 meters tall and weighs only 56 kilograms, has a curvy figure and a very slim figure.
Tonight, Erin Andrews was wearing a white shirt and hot denim shorts, with long wavy golden hair, long legs and fair skin.
Coupled with black strappy high heels, the altitude is already close to 1.90 meters.
Standing beside Lin Fei, he was only a little short.
Under the lens of the cameraman, the two actually looked very good together, like a couple.
The 26-year-old Andrews is definitely a royal sister to the soon-to-be 20-year-old Lin Fei.
"Miss Andrews, I am also honored to be interviewed by you, a beautiful woman!"
After two lifetimes, Lin Fei has a more mature and stable mentality. Even if a sexy beauty is by his side, he is still calm and elegant, and his conversation is calm and calm.
