Chapter 32 Miracle is right in front of us!
Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers and New Orleans Hornets are the remaining five opponents of the Clippers, and the first four of these five opponents are direct competitors, and the last opponent, the Hornets will compete with the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers for the first place in the West. There is no doubt. This is a devilish schedule for the Clippers.
Although the Clippers have achieved ten wins and one loss in the last eleven games, many people agree with Lin Fei's persistence and efforts, many of the previous media that are not optimistic about Lin Fei have also defected, but there are still many media stubborn resistance. Even if Lin Fei's efforts are obvious to all over the United States, they are still shouting that Lin Fei is an unrealistic arrogant rookie.
However, Lin Fei is too lazy to fight with them. Now he hopes to seize all the time to rest and train. He just wants to do better, instead of wasting time in this regard.
On April 3rd, Staples Center, Los Angeles Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets! This is a game that neither side is willing to lose. Although the Nuggets ranked seventh at the critical moment of the playoffs, they are only 3.5 wins ahead of the Clippers and only half a win of the ninth Warriors in the West, so the Denverers came to Los Angeles with a strong desire.
The intensity of the game can be seen from the 35 equal points between the two sides in the whole game and the maximum lead difference of no more than 8 points. In the first quarter, Lin Fei played a full 12 minutes and scored 10 points. The center Kaman became the biggest rely on the Clippers besides Lin Fei. In the last 11 games, Kaman has made an average contribution. He scored 19 points plus 13 rebounds and 3 blocks, and he took 8 points and 6 rebounds again in the first quarter of the game.
In the second quarter, Lin Fei rested for only two minutes and came on the field. He narrowed the difference of five points behind to two points with a three-point score. Then Lin Fei once again grabbed the fast attack and made a layup. It was not that he didn't want to shoot three points or dunk, but that he had to choose the most confident and energy-saving way to complete the attack.
The second quarter became the time between Anthony and Lin Fei. Anthony scored 17 points, Lin Fei scored 12 points again, and the two sides tied 57 at halftime.
The third quarter became Kaman's performance time. He scored 14 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter. At the end of the third quarter, he got 25 points and 14 rebounds. The Clippers took a weak lead of four points in the call.
An accident in the fourth quarter made the Clippers close their eyes. Their biggest insider relied on Chris Carman to fall to the ground painfully while competing for rebounds with Camby. At that time, the Clippers and the Nuggets drew again, although the Clippers finally relied on Lin Fei to attract the bag clip to send a key assist to help Kassel finish. It became a three-pointer that overtakes the score, but the price of victory was a little heavy for the Clippers. The results of the next day's examination made everyone's hearts sink. The results showed that Kaman's right instep ligament was torn, which indicates that Kaman will miss the game for at least a month before he can resume normal training. There are only ten days left to end the regular season, which is undoubtedly worse for the Clippers, who are seriously short of insiders.
At present, the team ranks 11th in the West, and there are still 2.5 wins between the Warriors, the eighth in the league. This gap does not look big, but there are only four games before the end of the regular season. The goal of four games to advance to the playoffs is really difficult. In particular, the schedule of the Clippers is the most dangerous among several playoff teams. The Clippers fans dare not have much hope for themselves.
"Carman Reimbursement, Clippers Sail" This is the news headline of Sports Weekly. The content is roughly as follows: Although Lin Fei is the core of the Clippers and the largest firepower attack point, center Chris Carman is another fulcrum for the current Clippers, and the current Clippers have lost this. The fulcrum is undoubtedly equivalent to lowering the Clippers with all their strength in the sea. Although the situation in the West competing for the playoffs is complicated, the Clippers are undoubtedly the most thrilling in reality. The author believes that the last three seats in the West are generated in the Jazz Mavericks Nuggets.
And Kaman's injury also reminded Mike Dunleavy that because the physical fitness of the few veterans they suppressed was close to exhaustion, and Lin Fei also had a physical crisis in his crazy appearance. The physical coach and team doctor repeatedly told him to limit the playing time of Lin Fei and the veteran, but at this time, he fought for the generals. For the past half of the season, they don't want to give up at a critical moment, and they have been sticking to it.
Is the current situation to let the team continue to work hard to reach the playoffs or worry about the players' health? Dunleavy stayed up all night and stared at the western record analysis table of the coach's office.
Dun Livey rubbed his temples and opened the curtains, and the sunlight shot in made Dun Livey's eyes feel a little uncomfortable.
A gratified smile unfolded in Dunleavy's mouth, and what he saw was Lin Fei who walked into the stadium.
"Lin, do you have time to talk?" Deng Liwei walked to the sidelines, and Lin Fei was still practicing the three-pointer meticulously as if he didn't see it.
Dun Levi's voice made Lin Fei stop his hand movements, "Coach, why is it so early? You don't seem to be in good spirits. Didn't you go home all night?
Dun Levy looked at Lin Fei and raised his eyebrows. "Yes, Lin, what do you think about the playoffs? Now the team's lineup is really not ideal, and the players' physical fitness. I want to hear your opinion?"
Lin Fei picked up the big towel on the floor and wiped his sweat. "Coach, I don't want to give up, but the team's physical strength is already very lacking, especially Sam, Katino and Josh, and there is no one inside us. This situation is very bad for us. If we don't take into account everyone's physical strength, it is likely to cause more injuries." He wiped the sweat on his face again and looked at Dunleavy with a calm face, "I don't want to give up!"
I don't want to give up. Although Lin Fei's voice is very light, there is no lack of firmness at all.
Dun Liwei smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't want to give up either! But I hope you can take care of your health. Although the game is important, you are not only the team and your family!" With that, Dunleavy patted Lin Fei on the shoulder and turned away.
On April 5th, the Golden State Oakland Center will be played against the 8th Golden State Warriors and the 11th Los Angeles Clippers in the West.
In the game, Mike Dunleavy chose his surname to let Cassel and Mobry rest. Fortunately, the inside offensive strength of the Warriors was also very weak. The two sides worked hard on the outside line. Lin Fei played again for 44 minutes. In the last few minutes, Lin Fei felt that his legs were heavier than lead, and every step was extremely uncomfortable. Lin Fly to remind yourself to persevere over and over again.
Looking at the score on the big screen, Lin Fei smiled and walked to the sidelines and gently held Scarlett in his arms.

"He is murdering! Murder! The sound of falling can be heard on Mars. Are your ears stuffed with plum blossoms and your eyes mosaic?
Mike Dunleavy ran straight to the bald referee Crawford and shouted.
Lin Fei lay on the floor of the three-second zone, surrounded by the teammates of the Clippers. The team doctor Paul was checking. The sweat on Lin Fei's forehead kept coming out, the blue veins near the temple were obviously bulging, and the two fists were clenched tightly. The calves are twitching slightly.
The picture just now is played back on the big screen: Lin Fei received the ball on the outside line. After a false shot, he directly accelerated the hard cut Kirienko and rushed into the inner line. One turned to shake Boozer and jumped up, but Boozer behind him stretched out his hands and pushed Lin Fei into the air, and Lin Fei fell directly out.
The full boos were given to Boozer and the referee, because the referee only blew a second-degree malicious foul.
20,000 people in the audience are staring at the floor in the three-second zone.
"Paul, I can do it. I want to play!" Lin Fei's tone was extremely resolute, staring at the score on the big screen. At this time, it was still three minutes before the end of the game, and the Clippers were still six points behind.
"But yours..." Sipos, the first assistant coach who replaced Dunleavy, who was sent off, as the coach, looked at Lin Fei.
"Coach, believe me, I can!" Lin Fei's eyes were extremely resolute. Sipos looked at Paul, the team doctor, and nodded gently.
LIN! LIN! LIN!” The whole Staples sounded with neat cheers.
And Lin Fei lived up to expectations and led the Clippers to a Jedi reversal in the last three minutes, and the Clippers took the road to miracles one step further!
