Chapter 43 The Second Battle of the Los Angeles Derby!
After the confrontation in the first game, the Clippers breathed a sigh of breath, which made them gradually let go of weakness in their hearts. At this moment, the Lakers are not an invincible team in their seriousness, so the Clippers, except for the resentful Lin Fei, from the veteran Kassel to the insider Josh Bower. Erdu became calm, and this atmosphere made coach Mike Dunleavy a little relieved. He did not give the team a goal in the playoffs, but tried his best to enjoy the atmosphere of the playoffs.
At this moment, Lin Fei is standing at the end of the team. Staples, who also belongs to his home, is in complete darkness at this moment. With the soft voice of the Lakers' live DJ, Lin Fei watched his teammates trot out of the player channel one by one.
Slowly, Lin Fei came to the player's channel and waited for the voice of the live DJ. At the beginning of the first game, Lin Fei enjoyed the cheers of many Lakers fans. Lin Fei's record was unexpected and kind. What about this? Lin Fei is a little uncertain.
"Welcome to Los Angeles Lakers No. 8 Lin Fei!" The Lakers DJ's voice calling out Lin Fei is a little louder and clearer than that of other players.
Under the familiar light of Staples, Lin Fei ran to the court with his arms raised, and high-fiveed his teammates standing on both sides. Lin Fei could clearly feel his burning fighting spirit.
The boos at the scene slightly overwhelmed the cheers. Lin Fei smiled faintly. He understood that this was the characteristic of the alliance.
"This is the second game of the Los Angeles playoffs. Bill, do you have anything to say about the debate in the first game?" Hoffman looked at Bill Walton beside him and asked.
Bill Wharton looked at the players who had already stood in formation and prepared to jump the ball. "The intensity of the first game was unexpected by many people. It's a pity that the bald Crawford ruined a game, but from an objective point of view, the Clippers can only resist the Lakers if the Lakers successfully contain it. Lin Fei, then the Clippers have little chance of winning.
Jumpball Paul Davis VS Anzu Bairam, this is almost a jump ball without any suspense.
With a whistle, the referee threw out the basketball in his hand.
The jump ball began to jump at the same time with Byram and Paul Davis, but Byram easily shook off Davis and his arm was much higher.
"P"
The basketball was slapped in Fisher's hand by the little shark. The once small fish has turned into an old fish. Fisher, who has performed a 0.4-second miracle, has now become more stable, steadily controlling the ball and advancing to the front court.
In this game, Mike Dunleavy sent alien Kassel again, a duel between two old demon-level point guards.
Kassel did not try to steal too much, but kept interfering with Fisher, not making Fisher interesting and stable.
The Lakers' first opening attack was not handed over to Kobe, but to the insider Paul Gasol. Paul Gasol's advantage against Josh Powell is quite obvious, not only in terms of height but also in terms of technical advantages.
One turned around Gasol faced Powell directly, and the other tentatively walked and shook. The ball was heavy. He directly cut Powell with the ball in one hand, and easily staged a one-handed dunk. Staples Center broke out the first wave of cheers since the start of the game.
"Paul and the Los Angeles Lakers are a perfect match." Bill Wharton agrees with Gasol's attack.
"Yes, it is crucial for Paul to have a high ball player to play in the triangle attack. His defense and rebounding strategy are among the best for the Lakers." Hoffman expressed his agreement.
In the offensive and defensive conversion, Kassel steadily controlled the ball and pushed forward to the front court. Kobe stared at Lin Fei with sharp eyes. Kassel looked at Lin Fei and passed the ball sideways. After the basketball bypassed Fisher and hit the ground, it bounced accurately between Lin Fei's waist and abdomen.
Lin Fei catching the ball steadily. This is the first pass received by Lin Fei in this game. Lin Fei did not want to perform again in the last game. Even if the team's strength in all aspects is almost obviously weak compared with the Lakers, Lin Fei is unwilling to surrender easily.
Adjust your own rhythm of grabbing the ball, and bow slightly to the front of the body to hold the waist of the ball to prevent Kobe's snatch.
"Rookie, you will be baptized again today!" Kobe said coldly with one hand against Lin Fei's waist.
Lin Fei didn't say anything. He knew that Kobe's rubbish words were so powerful. The adjusted rhythm did not leave Kobe any omen. A fierce acceleration took a big step directly to the inside line. Such a fierce acceleration surprised Kobe a little. Lin Fei completely shook off some of them with just one step. Kobe Bryant, who was not enough, quickly turned around and chased him with a low scold, but found that Lin Fei, the guy, had changed a lot from the original Lin Fei, and his current speed was much faster than when he had just entered the league. Kobe secretly admired Lin Fei's progress and gritted his teeth and chased him.
Quick!
This is everyone's first impression of Lin Fei's breakthrough.
Lin Fei tore open the defense line like lightning and cut directly into the inner line.
He shook off Kobe Bryant, and in the second step, he shook off Luke Wharton, who was trying to make up for the defense. Looking at the basket, Lin Fei did not hesitate, directly held the ball with both hands, strode into the basket, and dodged and then took action.
"P"
The sound of the cap made Lin Fei's face surprised. He never thought that his basket had been blocked.
Lin Fei was slightly stunned, because the number of times he was blocked by the defenders this season, and the basketball popped up the boundary on Lin Fei's body.
Gasol stared at Lin Fei angrily. He had been carrying the reputation of a soft egg. The silent Gasol had been proving to the world that he was not a soft egg with his actions, but in Memphis, he never got rid of this embarrassing hat. In the playoffs, he swallowed a twelve-game losing streak in shame. The last derby was him. He won the playoffs for the first time in his career, and his 23 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks also earned him the title of best player in the last game.
Despite this, many people questioned him, so Gasol held his breath to prove himself.
Lin Fei clearly felt a trace of uneasiness from Gasol's eyes and frowned and slowly ran to the backcourt.
Because the ball hit Lin Fei's body and popped up the boundary, the ball changed hands. The Lakers once again got the offensive ball, and Fisher's control of the ball was handed over to Kobe Bryant just after half-time.
For the sake of Lin Fei's offensive end, Mike Dun Levy entrusted the task of defending Kobe to Wilson Chandler, so that Lin Fei can save physical strength as much as possible to cause greater damage on the offensive end.
Chandler's defense, which is also a rookie, is a little stiff, but after the last game, his defense has been much better, but the shadow of the famous tree and Kobe's terrorist offensive strength still make him a little nervous. Lin Fei beside him can see Chandler's efforts, but after all, Kobe Bryant.
After a **, the whole person shook to the left and directly accelerated to the right. Chandler's defensive center of gravity was a little unstable, but Chandler, who gritted his teeth, stabilized his center of gravity for a short time and blocked Kobe again.
Chandler's defense stunned Kobe Bryant slightly, but soon there was a smile on the corners of Kobe's mouth, just like Black Mamba protruding the snake letter. Two consecutive skilled ** suddenly connected a large change of direction, which made Chandler, who was still a rookie, completely overwhelmed.
"Korby Bryant passed Chandler easily, and there was a smooth road ahead!" Hoffman exclaimed.
In fact, facing the insider Paul Davis and Josh Powell, Kobe jumped directly without fear, and smashed the ball into the basket with a small pull rod in the air.
4:0, Kobe waved his fist fiercely and looked at Lin Fei's ruthlessness without hiding his eyes.
"Rookie, you'd better give up. You can't beat me!" Kobe left this sentence in Lin Fei's ear. Looking at Kobe's back, the corners of Lin Fei's mouth rose slightly, remembering the rubbish words he said to Kobe during his trial, "Bryant, I will defeat you one day!"
Kassel dribbled the ball to the front court again. At this moment, Lin Fei couldn't wait to block his ears with a plum ball. Kobe in the playoffs was upgraded, and his garbage words were also upgraded. Now Lin Fei finally understood other people's feelings when he spit out garbage words to others. Kobe spared no effort in his defense with some The hidden little movements made him uncomfortable all the time.
After a season of games, Lin Fei has also tasted all kinds of defense, but in the face of his former teammates, Kobe, who is extremely familiar with him, Lin Fei feels that the defense is more rigorous, because Kobe is very familiar with some of Lin Fei's basic actions.
"Rookie, give up! Maybe you can come again next year. Don't waste your physical strength now!" Kobe still spitting out rubbish words, and his left hand is still a hidden disturber Lin Fei.
The first few goals are very important to both sides, so the Clippers must score goals. Lin Fei didn't want to avoid him and decided to face the difficulties! Challenge Kobe's defense!
Relying on Kobe's back, he completely ignored Kobe's small movements. He leaned firmly against Kobe's chest with his back, and his tonnage of buttocks hit Kobe back a little. After completely occupying the position, Lin Fei raised his right hand high. He wanted the ball, "Sam, give me the ball!"
Lin Fei shouted directly at the alien Cassel, who was holding the ball!
"It seems that Lin is going to challenge Kobe Bryant directly. I like this scene!" Bill Wharton said happily.
Such a move stunned Kobe Bryant. Although Lin Fei has a certain advantage in height and strength, such an advantage is not obvious enough to ensure the advantage, so he was a little surprised by Lin Fei's choice of Kobe.
Mike Dunleavy on the sidelines looked at Lin Fei thoughtfully, while Phil Jackson frowned slightly.
Kassel heard Lin Fei's voice, scanned the distribution of the players on the court, and ensured the safety of the pass. After Kassel chose to pass the ball high, his back against Fisher in front of him, and passed the ball in the direction of Lin Fei.
Kobe Bryant's left elbow, away from the referee's sight, gently hit Lin Fei's waist, "Rookie, have you decided to single me? I think you need to be rational. Running and attacking is your best decision, not singles!" Kobe's rubbish words got into Lin Fei's ears again. Lin Fei glanced at Kobe Bryant behind him, but did not fight back. He staggered to catch the basketball under Kobe's elbow!
After stabilizing his body's center of gravity, Lin Fei immediately adjusted his own rhythm and made a gentle impact test on his back. The power behind him told Lin Fei where Kobe's defensive center of gravity was. This was what he noticed in a long-term confrontation with Kobe Bryant. Now he decided to make good use of this result.
Holding the ball in front of the chest, the left foot was the axis, and the left shoulder was followed by a left shaking. Kobe behind him only moved slightly, and the overall defensive center of gravity was still perfectly controlled. Lin Fei was not discouraged, but suddenly his upper body suddenly shook to the right. This sudden shaking finally deceived Kobe Bryant.
In the face of Lin Fei's turn, Kobe slipped, but soon a trace of anger appeared on his face. Kobe forcibly adjusted his center of gravity and tried to regain control Lin Fei. However, at this time, Lin Fei's right hand hit the basketball heavily, and the whole person turned around in place and turned over. Lin Fei jumped high in the air, completely Facing the basket, the distance between him and Kobe opened up a position. When he was completely in the air, Kobe hurriedly took off to defend.
Lin Fei's whole body seemed to be stagnant in the air. Kobe's face was full of disbelief, and his body was a little backwards. He glanced at Kobe, who stretched out his arms to defend. The corners of his mouth rose, and the standard shooter type quickly formed. Looking at the basket in the distance with confidence, the basketball flew into the air.
Lin Fei in the air still maintains a perfect hand shape, and the orange basketball draws a beautiful arc approaching the basket in the direction indicated by Lin Fei's shooter.
Wh!
A crisp net wipe echoed in the center of Staples, and the net turned up a white wave as the basketball passed through.
Lin Feixi's boss Kobe Bryant curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and he didn't know whether he was laughing or disdainful.
2:4, Lin Fei's beautiful turn-around jump shot broke the offensive deadlock for the Clippers.
"Appreciative shot, Lin told Kobe Bryant that he was no longer his younger brother, but the leader of a team!" Hoffman praised Lin Fei's shooting.
A few Clippers fans at the Staples Center cheered the ball. For them, there is hope for Lin Fei!
The big screen began to play back Lin Fei's wonderful goal just now!
"Bryant, is this shot okay?" Lin Fei looked at Kobe, who couldn't judge whether he was happy or depressed, and said with a smile.
"It's still early!" Kobe's reply was that some donkeys were not right, and Lin Fei smiled and immediately caught up with Kobe. He didn't want to score a goal just because he was hit by Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant passed the ball again, and Black Mamba showed his poisonous teeth to the Clippers!
