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

Chapter 112 The three giants of the Heat compete internally for the best in November!



Target Center Arena.

The Timberwolves fans who were leaving the field one after another, as well as many fans outside the square, were all discussing heatedly.

"I didn't expect to lose so badly. It seems that the overall strength of our team this season is really much worse than last season!"

"Not only is Lin gone, Sam and Latrier are also a year older, and their condition has declined significantly. It seems that we must strengthen as soon as possible. It is absolutely useless to defend the title!"

"My God, I just had a call from a friend in Detroit, saying that there was a gang fight between the Pistons and the Pacers at the Palace of Auburn Hills tonight, and the game was banned!"

"What's the situation? The Pacers and the Pistons fight? That's something to watch. I've always wanted to know who is better at fighting, Big Ben or Artest!"

"Artest is definitely no match for Big Ben! But in a group fight, the Pacers are stronger. Not only Artest, but also 'Martial Saint' Stephen Jackson and Xiao Ou!"

"I heard it. It seems that Artest and Steph rushed to the technical stage and beat the fans violently. They beat the Pistons fan to death!"

"Artest and Steph rushed into the stands and beat up the fans? Fuck, it's much more serious when a player hits a fan!"

"Hurry up and go home and watch YouTube. There is definitely a video recorded by fans at the scene! Players beating fans, isn't this more interesting than watching football?"

"Although we are all fans, it must be said that the Pistons' home fans are really disgusting and deserve to be beaten!"

"The Pistons and Pacers are both championship-level teams. This group fight is so serious that players from both teams will definitely be suspended for many games. Wouldn't this seriously affect the record and even hinder the championship!"

"Two strong teams in the Eastern Conference are fighting each other. Doesn't this give Lin's advantage to the Heat? Could it be that God has already planned that this season is really the year for the Heat to win the championship?"

Outside the Target Center Arena, on a bus that came out of the internal passage of the underground parking lot, the Heat players were rushing back to the hotel.

After the game against the Timberwolves tonight, the Heat's next away opponent coincidentally is the Detroit Pistons.

The team will fly to Detroit early tomorrow morning to visit the precarious Palace of Auburn Hills.

On the bus, the Heat players were also discussing the brawl between the Pistons and Pacers tonight, and were particularly shocked by Artest's violent beating of the fans.

"Ron is really fierce. Fans dare to beat him up. I'm afraid the punishment will be very serious!"

"No matter what, we must support Ron. Those unqualified fans deserve to be beaten. Ron did something that none of us dare to do!"

"Made, the key is that he hit the wrong person!"

"Beating the fans in the live broadcast is too serious. It seriously affects the influence of the league. David Stern should throw a heavy punch this time. Ron may ruin his entire career!"

Wade frowned. Although he had some trouble with Artest in the opening game and was slapped and slapped on the ground by Artest, Wade is a fierce general who advocates confrontation.

Also as a player, he still expressed concern about Artest's situation.

O'Neal had just hung up the phone with Thunderbolt Miller and had a detailed understanding of the situation.

"This time the situation looks very serious. Ron may be suspended for a whole season, and the situation between Jr. and Stephen is also serious. Poor old Reggie, the Pacers are finished this season again!"

Eddie Jones smiled and said to Lin Fei: "Lin, this conflict feels very much like the G5 game between you and the Timberwolves at the Palace of Auburn Hills in the finals. Thanks to the Madman and the Wolf King being stopped at that time, otherwise the consequences would be But it’s much more serious!”

O'Neal nodded and said: "Eddie is right. Kevin must be applauded on this point. If Latrell and Kevin start beating the fans, then the Timberwolves will basically have no chance of winning this championship!"

Lin Fei shook his head and sighed:

"I originally thought that after our conflict in the finals, all teams in the league would be mentally prepared, but I didn't expect that Ron would still be so impulsive this time. It would be fun to beat someone up for a while, but there would be trouble later!"

Haslem put on a look of gloating: "The Pacers have been banned on a large scale, and the Pistons will also be banned. Both teams are seriously injured. This team will win the championship this season. Then But it’s a huge benefit!”

O'Neal didn't take it seriously, and said with the arrogance of being the league's number one center:

"Our Heat want to win the championship this season, and no team can stop it. So what if it's the entire Pacers and Pistons? We'll still abuse them!"

The young and frivolous sophomore Wade also echoed O'Neal:

"Shaquille is right. Since our goal this season is the championship, we are absolutely not afraid of any challenge. The Pacers' main players have been banned on a large scale, which may have affected the value of our championship!"

After winning the Timberwolves tonight, the Heat started with 9 wins and 1 loss, tied for first place in the league with the Suns in the West, and even more so in the East.

Therefore, both O'Neal and Wade are confident enough. As long as the main players stay healthy, the Heat will definitely be the most favorable contenders for the championship this season.

Lin Fei had a different view:

"I don't think it matters here in the East. Even if the Pacers and Pistons are all healthy, they may not be our opponents. If we want to win the championship, the most difficult thing is the finals!"

Wade nodded and said: "Lin, you are right. The overall strength is still higher in the Western Conference. Which team do you think is the strongest in the Western Conference this season? The Spurs? The Mavericks or the Suns?"

Lin Fei smiled and replied casually: "The Suns should be the best team in the Western Conference in the regular season. As for the playoffs, it has to be the old Spurs!"

O'Neal's most respectable player in the league today has to be Tim Duncan. When he thought of the possibility of playing against the Spurs in the finals, he excitedly said:

"I haven't beaten Tim's Spurs in the finals yet. It looks like there is a good chance this season. Once we meet him in the finals, I will definitely beat him!"

Head coach Stan Van Gundy, who was sitting in the front row, heard the players bragging and his voice became serious:

"Now that the new season has only played 10 games, you start to look forward to the finals and the championship?"

"The whole season is quite long. It's impossible to gain weight in one breath. Only by being down-to-earth can you have the last laugh. In the game the day after tomorrow, let me win the Pistons first!"

Wade chuckled and said: "The coach is right, but these two away games are quite interesting. One is Lin's old club, and the other is Lin's opponent in last season's finals!"

"Lin, play the Pistons the day after tomorrow, do you have any ideas?"

Lin Fei analyzed seriously: "Ben has been suspended for 6 games, and the overall defensive level of the Pistons will inevitably be affected. I'll score 10 three-pointers, and leave the rest to you!"

After hearing Lin Fei's calm words, the Heat teammates in the bus all laughed.

"Haha, if we can't beat the Pistons, we'll be really sorry for Lin's 10 three-pointers!"

new York.

NBA headquarters, in the high-level conference room.

David Stern sat at the conference table with a solemn expression, and he and a dozen headquarters executives on both sides were urgently discussing the follow-up punishment for the Auburn Hills Palace incident, as well as public relations matters.

"The impact of the group fight and beating of fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills was very bad and caused huge damage to the image of the league. All relevant players and fans must be severely punished!"

David Stern is really beyond his capabilities. Originally, with the rise of the Heat and Suns this season, the NBA's overall ratings also experienced a significant increase.

But it happened that trouble happened again at this time.

However, the Heat and Suns gave Stern a big surprise. From the current point of view, the records of the two teams rank first in the East and West respectively.

If the records of the two teams can be maintained until the end of the season, then the Suns' Stoudemire and Nash, and the Heat's Lin Fei, Wade and O'Neal will also have the opportunity to compete for the regular season MVP.

In the new season, with Lin Fei's continued strong performance and phenomenal performance on three-pointers, the entire league has undergone some impacts and changes.

Coupled with the popularity of the Suns' run-and-gun tactics,

Invisibly, all teams have begun to pay attention to the training of outside three-pointers and the improvement of offensive and defensive rhythm.

David Stern also keenly discovered that the NBA quietly seems to have gradually entered a new era.

Faster offensive and defensive rhythm, more points per game, and more gorgeous run-and-gun tactics are actually more favored by David Stern, because they are more conducive to the expansion of the NBA around the world and are easier to Cultivate a new batch of young fans.

On the contrary, David Stern does not like teams like the Spurs and Pistons. Therefore, the league's various policies are obviously more tilted towards the Suns and Heat.

After all, O'Neal and Nash are already veterans in their 30s, and the three young players, Stoudemire, Wade and Lin Fei, can be said to have a bright future and deserve the care and training of the league.

At the same time, Lin Fei's contribution to the Chinese fan market is also obvious.

Dayao successfully opened up the NBA market in China, and Lin Fei's emergence made the Chinese fan market expand rapidly.

Today, more than 3 million people in China have watched and followed NBA games through television, the Internet and newspapers.

After rigorous deliberation and investigation, NBA headquarters also publicly issued the final punishment for the Auburn Palace incident:

Among them, the Pacers' chief offender Ron Tester rushed to the court and beat the fans in the most egregious manner. He was banned from participating in all remaining games this season.

"Martial Arts Saint" Stephen Jackson was suspended for 30 games and O'Neal Jr. was suspended for 25 games. At the same time, all three were sentenced to a one-year probation period, 60 hours of community service and anger counseling courses.

Anthony Johnson was suspended for 5 games and Reggie Miller was suspended for 1 game.

For the Pistons, Ben was suspended for six games, and three Pistons players including Chauncey Billups were also suspended for one game.

The main culprit fan, John Green, who participated in the riot, was found to have a criminal record and bad records such as drunk driving and was banned from entering any NBA arena to watch games for life.

From last season's Finals G5 to today's incident of beating fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the tension between NBA players and the deficiencies in the league's management system have been fully revealed.

For this reason, David Stern also decided to carry out drastic reforms.

In fact, the impact of the Auburn Hills Palace incident on the NBA has more advantages than disadvantages. Fans all over the world have not stopped paying attention to the NBA because of Artest's beating of fans.

This incident is more like a deliberate hype, allowing NBA games to gain greater influence around the world.

In China, the majority of young fans have different views on the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

"Haven't you heard? That Green who poured beer on him is an ex-convict who has been to prison. He was drunk and driving. He is not a good person at first glance and should be beaten!"

"It's a pity that Artest hit the wrong innocent fans. It would be great if he really hit Green!"

"The quality of black players in the NBA is indeed too low, and they have never had a good impression of black people! It seems that racial discrimination is not without reason!"

"Compared with these black players, my brother Fei is definitely the best national idol. Not only is he handsome, but he is also well-educated and well-educated. What else does David Stern praise for James? He directly praises my brother Fei. How good is the first player in the league?"

"How could the United States allow a foreign player to become the number one player in the NBA? Besides, Lin Fei didn't sign with Nike!"

"It's okay to praise Wade instead of Brother Fei. I feel that Wade is playing much better than James in the new season!"

Because of the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Pistons fans staged a collective protest against the NBA. For the Pistons' home game against the Heat on the 21st, only less than 1 fans came, and the attendance rate was less than 50%.

The entire Auburn Hills Palace Arena became deserted, but Lin Fei's usual long-range three-point performance during the pre-game warm-up still made the Pistons fans at the scene couldn't help but applaud and cheer.

Among them, Lin Fei retreated to the tunnel and hit a super long three-pointer, which made many female Pistons fans sitting on the sidelines scream.

From last season's finals, many Pistons fans have been completely conquered by Lin Fei's three-pointers. Although Lin Fei helped the Timberwolves defeat the Pistons,

But after all, the Pistons management also pursued Lin Fei during the offseason. Pistons fans are also looking forward to the day when Lin Fei can come to the Auto City.

Because the Pistons' boss was suspended for 6 games, Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace were also suspended for 1 game.

The Pistons' five tigers were missing three tigers, and their overall strength naturally shrank significantly. All the Heat's main players played, and they naturally won the game effortlessly.

The Big Three only played the first three quarters. Lin Fei kept his word and played 26 minutes in the three quarters. He made 12 of 10 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored a team-high 34 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 3 steals.

"Shark" O'Neal got everything he wanted in the paint. Even with his healthy play, he still scored 24 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks.

韦德则是23分7篮板10助攻2抢断2封盖的准三双数据。

Under Stan Van Gundy's tactical tilt, Eddie Jones also had comprehensive statistics of 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. The Heat management is also actively promoting the trade of Eddie Jones.

The entire game in November ended quickly, and the Heat's opening record reached 11 wins and 15 losses.

The only two losses were on the road, against the Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs.

The main reason why the Spurs lost this game was because the Spurs coaching staff made strict arrangements to defend Lin Fei, whether it was Bruce Bowen's pursuit or defense change after the screen, as well as the main passer and pass. on the line,

The Spurs did very well. After the whole game, Lin Fei only made 6 three-pointers, 4 of which were hit, plus 3 free throws, scoring a season-low 15 points in a single game.

奥尼尔虽然有32分16篮板的逆天表现,但韦德这边表现同样不佳,只拿到14分9助攻,因此最终热火在客场89:102惨败马刺。

Even so, the Heat's record of 15 wins and 2 losses still surpassed the Suns and ranked first in the league.

整个11月份的15场比赛,热火13胜2负,场均得分超过了109分,其中三巨头的11月场均数据分别是:

沙奎尔·奥尼尔:23.6分12.4个篮板3.6助攻2.3盖帽0.5抢断。

德韦恩·韦德:25.6分6.0篮板10.2助攻1.9抢断1.3盖帽。

林飞:28.1分0.7篮板0.4助攻0.3盖帽2.0抢断。

O'Neal's 12.4 rebounds per game ranked third in the rebounding list, second only to the Wolf King and Ben.

Wade averaged 10.2 assists per game, ranking second in the season assists list, second only to Steve Nash's 11.6 times.

Lin Fei averaged 28.1 points per game, ranking fifth in the season's scoring list. The top four are Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Nowitzki and James.

You must know that Lin Fei's 28.1 points were placed last season, and he was directly the scoring leader. After all, the scoring leader McGrady averaged only 28.0 points per game last season.

However, as the NBA officially promulgated the nohandcheck rule to encourage offense and suppress defensive actions, the average points per game of the league's outside players has also increased significantly.

At the same time, Lin Fei averaged 2 steals per game, which also ranked fourth in the season's steal list, tied with Sean Marion.

Among the NBA's official Eastern and Western Players of the Month for November, the Heat's three giants O'Neal, Wade and Lin Fei were all nominated due to their better record.

The Pacers and Pistons have both seen their records decline due to the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills. The other two nominees for Eastern Conference Player of the Month are Paul Pierce of the Celtics.

and Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Iverson's data exploded, leading the scoring list. In November, his scoring average came to a terrifying 11 points, but the team's monthly record was only 31.9 wins and 10 losses, which dragged down its record.

Although the Celtics' record in November was 11 wins and 12 losses, Paul Pierce's data was only 3 points and 21.8 rebounds. The data suffered again, and they were far inferior to the Heat's Big Three.

In the end, the NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month for November can only be chosen between the Heat's three giants, O'Neal, Wade and Lin Fei.

Although Lin Fei's scoring average is the highest among the Big Three, his overall statistics are too biased. In addition to ranking in the top five in the league in terms of scoring and steals, his rebounding, assists and blocks are all too poor.

In particular, rebounds and assists average less than one per game, which is in sharp contrast to scoring.

Looking back at O'Neal and Wade, their overall statistics appear to be very comprehensive.

Therefore, in the end, who should be awarded to the Heat in the Eastern Conference of the Month? This also aroused intense discussion among relevant NBA judges...
