I fell in love with Toutiao and became the GOAT.

Wade's offense was undeterred. He glanced at Lin Bei under the basket from the top of the arc, then launched a drive with a clear objective: to attack the rim.

Under the basket, Lin Bei was already prepared to provide backup defense.

Unexpectedly, Wade was blocked by Klay in the mid-range halfway through his drive.

Lin Bei was speechless as he watched Wade pull up for a mid-range jumper.

Despite his meticulous setup, Wade couldn't even get past Klay's first line of defense.

As Lin Bei silently complained, a strong force came from behind him.

While Joel Anthony posed no offensive threat, he immediately came alive when it came to rebounding.

He gritted his teeth and squeezed Lin Bei, trying to trap Lin Bei behind him.

Lin Bei didn't exert any force because he had a feeling that the ball might still go in.

Swish-!

Sure enough, the basketball swished cleanly through the net, and Wade's desperate pull-up jumper actually went in.

Wade's play inspired James, and on the Heat's subsequent offense, James immediately regained possession.

He launched a breakthrough by mimicking the pattern, then suddenly stopped and fired a surprise attack when he reached mid-range.

The same playing style, but James faces even less defensive pressure.

But the basketball slammed heavily against the edge of the rim with a loud thud, bounced off, and missed.

Under the basket, Lin Bei felt the push from behind again, but he ignored Joel Anthony's positioning, turned sideways and jumped up to grab his 7th rebound of the game.

The moment he landed, he swung the ball again, sending it in a precise arc across half the court, finding Curry who was already sprinting at full speed.

But this time, the Heat were prepared. Wade quickly retreated to defend, tightly marking Curry and effectively halting the Warriors' fast break momentum.

Next, the Heat kept firing from the mid-range.

James gave up completely after missing two shots in a row. At this stage of his career, his mid-range and long-range shots are very dependent on his shooting touch. When he's on fire, he can make any shot, but when he's not on fire, he can't make any shots at all.

This is a technical flaw; that's how we got 8 points in the finals.

In this game, James' shooting touch was extremely cold.

After missing two shots in a row, he temporarily abandoned his personal offensive plans.

But this directly led to two consequences that the Heat found unacceptable.

First, at the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Heat 31-18, a 13-point advantage.

Secondly, Lin Bei grabbed more than two rebounds in a single quarter.

James' two missed shots were crucial; without them, Lin Bei would have missed two rebounds.

At this point, Lin Bei had already delivered a spectacular performance in the quarter, racking up 4 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block, showcasing a dominant level of play in just one quarter.

During the break, Mark Jackson's gaze remained fixed on Lin Bei. After a long pause, he finally snapped out of his reverie: "Shouldn't we wait before making the deal?"

Mike Malone understood that Mark Jackson was referring to the trade the team had just completed, in which the Warriors acquired center Bogdanovic, whom Jackson had wanted.

Before Bodog's players even arrived, Lin Bei erupted.

Rebounding, one-on-one defense, help defense, playmaking, plus a three-point shot...

With this kind of performance, what need does the Warriors have for Bogdanovic?

On the bench, Curry and Spud were yelling, "Best, what the hell have you been doing all week while you were suspended?"

"With your performance, even Andrew Bogut would have to be your substitute!"

Lin Bei waved his hand and said, "Don't exaggerate. The main problem is that the Heat's interior defense is terrible."

This isn't Lin Bei being modest; the Heat's interior defense is indeed too weak.

From Bosh in the starting lineup to Joel Anthony coming off the bench, the overall strength of the Heat's frontcourt was about the same as in the game against the 76ers.

It was precisely because of the Heat's huge disadvantage in the paint that the Warriors were able to dominate the Heat in the first quarter.

……

In the second quarter, Lin Bei needs to rest.

With Biedrins not yet back and the Warriors having no other center, they have to use David Lee as a makeshift center.

The Heat went on a run, closing the gap to 34-42 in half a quarter.

When the score was 8 points behind, Mark Jackson once again made a decisive move, bringing Lin Bei back into the game.

Lin Bei's appearance was effective; James made a breakthrough and then fired a shot from mid-range.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, another backboard was delivered to Lin Bei.

In the latter part of the second quarter, with Lin Bei returning to the court, the Warriors once again suppressed the Heat, who supposedly had a Big Three.

Halfway through the quarter, Lin Bei scored another basket, bringing his personal score to 6 points, along with 14 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 block.

The Heat took this game very seriously, which was evident in a small detail: every time Lin Bei set a screen at the top of the key, someone was specifically guarding him, not giving him any space to shoot a three-pointer.

So by halftime, Lin Bei, who had been consistently scoring three-pointers before the suspension, only attempted one three-pointer, which he missed.

It's clear that the Heat have studied Lin Bei.

But to their utter surprise, after a week's suspension, Lin Bei returned and immediately evolved.

In the third quarter, Lin Bei also made his appearance at the start of the game.

In this game, Mark Jackson's lineup was finally no longer about Lin Bei playing one quarter and then replacing him with someone else for the next quarter.

But this should only be for this one match. Once Bodog arrives, the two will likely compete not only for the starting position but also for playing time.

Lin Bei immediately launched a three-pointer, which was made after a handoff pass from the top of the arc. Bosh, who was guarding him, blocked Curry, and Lin Bei raised his hand as soon as he received the ball.

Although Chamos turned around and fought back, the height difference between the two was obvious, and Lin Bei did not hesitate at all and made a firm move.

"Whoosh—!"

The three-pointer went in, and the score instantly changed from 48-58 at halftime to 48-61.

Lin Bei's individual score is just one point away from breaking double figures.

About a minute later, Lin Bei leaped up, grabbed an offensive rebound, and slammed the ball into the net while overpowering Joel Anthony.

With 11 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 block, his double-double came quite early.

But after that basket, the score became 48-63, and the Warriors continued to extend their lead.

"Teams with excellent centers are too effective against this Heat team. They were forced to find their mid-range and long-range shooting touch at the start of the third quarter. Best Lin scored 5 consecutive points, and the Warriors' lead reached 15 points..."

The score gap widened too quickly; Lin Bei probably doesn't have much time left to rack up stats.

……

On the court, James, who had only scored 11 points so far, was getting anxious because his mid-range and long-range shots were really not going in.

His gaze fell to the basket, and he began to think about driving to the rim again.

In the next possession, on the Heat's offense, James had the ball and once again overpowered Dorell Wright.

He slammed into the basket, colliding with Lin Bei again.

Holding the basketball with both hands, he made a powerful drive.

Lin Bei followed closely behind, leaping into the air and spreading his arms wide, blocking James like an impenetrable wall, giving him no space to make a move.

The basketball slammed against the backboard with a thud, bounced off the rim, and flew out of bounds without even touching it.

"Another failure. LeBron James simply can't break through Best Lin's defense in the paint..."

Amid the cheers at Oracle Center, Lin Bei did not mock James, whose face was gloomy.

In fact, his grudges with the Heat were pretty much settled in the opening exchange of the game.

Now he doesn't need to say anything; after the competition, great scholars will debate the classics for him.

Even if the Heat and James win this game, it won't change the post-game public opinion.

Moreover, the Heat simply cannot win.

At the start of the fourth quarter, the Heat were led by Wade.

Wade attempted a mid-range shot, but the ball grazed the rim and missed.

Lin Bei seized the opportunity, leaped up, and steadily grabbed his 20th rebound of the game.

After landing, he made a long pass to the sprinting little potato.

That's right, it's Little Potato. He came on as a substitute and, unusually, was on the field at the same time as Lin Bei.

Little Potato catches the ball, steps into the basket, and leaps up for a beautifully executed dunk.

With a score of 71 to 91, a difference of 20 points, the game was effectively over...

Lin Bei's stats were set at 15 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 block.

Two pairs of super-sized shoes!
