Chapter 59 New Clipper, Set Sail!
With the painful groaning of the basket, the whole scene was still in an instant. No one could believe that Lin Fei, who was knocked over by Artest in the previous attack, knocked over Artest and completed the shark dunk in this round.
Everyone could see that Lin Fei's attack just now was pure power and pure explosive play. Artest's big mouth on the floor suddenly grinned, and the whole person turned over.
Bum!
The fist had heavy contact with Lin Fei's upper arm muscles. Most people thought that Artest was angry, but Lin Fei smiled and also punched Artest. However, he did not hit Artest's arm muscles, but hit Artest's chest. Lin Fei's fist had a clear feeling. With Artest's strong chest muscles.
F...UCK! You are so fucking tough!"
Lin Fei smiled and looked at the swearing Artest and said, "You are even tougher!"
The two people who were worried just now looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Lin Fei's attack just did not completely conquer the proud Artest, but there is no doubt that he gave Artest an excellent impression in the first meeting. From this good meeting, Artest became one of the most powerful helpers at the beginning of Lin Fei's career, providing too much for Lin Fei's fastship career. What a powerful help, whether it's defensive or court disputes, Artest is always the one who stands up first.
The nervous teammates were also relieved. Mike Dunleavy's mouth was full of smiles. After this attack, the confrontation between Lin Fei and Artest was even more splashed. Lin Fei did not use his own strength to fight with Artest, but integrated into his own running position and breakthrough. Artest became more and more. I think Lin Fei is a powerful teammate.
Time flies, and the running-in of the new Clippers is still in progress. The only thing that bothers Mike Dunleavy is the weakness of the inside players. Except for Tyson Chandler, Roy Herbert and Andre Jordan are both players in the center position and they are just rookies.
During the training, Hibbert showed his low lethality. In addition to his innate height advantage, Hibbert also has a precise jump shot and hook, which was appreciated by Mike Dunleavy, but Hibbert's physical quality was obviously worse, and his footsteps also needed more practice, compared with Roy Hebert's body element. Quality Andre Jordan showed his super physical fitness, and his outstanding bounce determines his air defense advantage, but he can't change his bad habit of being easy to shake, and the NBA is far from the NCAA's habit of being easy to eat. If it can't be changed, it will only limit his playing time in the NBA.
Lin Fei still remembers that he rushed into the inside line and threw a throw in training, and the basketball rose high. Originally, he thought that the ball was scored was directly taken off by Andre Jordan at the highest point, and the whole audience was shocked, but then Lin Fei caught a foul on Andre Jordan.
Because of the shortage of insiders, Mike Dunleavy had to push Wilson Chandler to the position of power forward. Although Wilson Chandler's physical fitness is very good, he is a pure small forward. He is seriously insufficient in the position of power forward. It is foreseeable that once the Clippers are in the regular season. When he met a good power forward, Wilson Chandler basically couldn't resist.
"Nell, the team's power forward position needs to be strengthened. If it is not strengthened, I think all teams will seize our weakness." Mike Dunleavy looked at Orshu in front of him and said.
"Mike, I've thought about this, but I'm really sorry. Maybe it's because we are too popular that all the teams have rejected our trading proposals, and there is no good choice in the free market." Orshu's tone was full of helplessness.
And the fact is that, as Orshu said, the Clippers, who staged a crazy miracle at the end of last season, have become a force that cannot be ignored in the eyes of many giants in the league, and the off-season Clippers first grabbed the limelight in the draft and became the focus of attention in the transfer market, resulting in the current very Many teams directly rejected the Clippers' deal. There is no doubt that they are just jealous. They don't want to watch their competitors get stronger and stronger.
Mike Dunleavy frowned. If the position of the power forward cannot be strengthened, the position of the power forward will become a huge hidden danger, and even have a connection effect on the inside line. All teams will go to the Clippers' inside line. As long as Tyson Chandler is defeated, the inside line of the Clippers will be equivalent to a vacuum for a short time. But at present, there is no way to strengthen, but to tap the potential from tactics and internal players.
Looking at the players on the court, Mike Dunleavy's frown has not relaxed for a long time, the inside line, the headache inside line!
And all the players were not surprised to know that the team's inside is an obvious shortcoming. Mike Dunleavy deliberately brought the defensive formation closer to the 3-2 regional defense. This defensive formation is to strengthen the outside defense and reduce the opponent's breakthrough basket to protect the basket as much as possible. On the basis of the 3-2 regional defense, Mike Dunleavy asked Artest and Lin Fei to strengthen their mobility and assist Wilson Chandler and Tyson Chandler in the inside line.
There is no way to make such a defensive arrangement. Mike Dunleavy can only hope that the team's attack power can offset the team's defensive weakness.
When the time came to the end of September, the curtain of the preseason was about to open. Night came, and there was still the sound of basketball hitting the ground in Staples' training ground. Mike Dunleavy rubbed his temples. As soon as he walked out of the office, the sound of basketball hitting the ground penetrated into his ears.
Looking at Lin Fei on the field, Mike Dunleavy stopped and stood motionless on the side of the field. He couldn't help smiling at the corners of his mouth and said, "Lin, take a break. You should know that scientific training is the most important thing. Follow me."
Looking at Mike Dunleavy, Lin Fei nodded, picked up the big towel on the ground, wiped the sweat on his face, and followed Mike Dunleavy into the coach's office.
Lin Fei sat opposite Deng Liwei. Lin Fei's breathing slowly calmed down and looked at Deng Liwei with a faint smile on his face. "Head, you won't let me appreciate your appearance, will you?"
"Lin, okay, how do you feel now? The new season is about to begin. How are you ready?
"I'm well prepared. I'm looking forward to the new season. I'm finally not a rookie!" Lin Fei said with a smile.
Mike Dunleavy said with a smile, "How's the cooperation with your new teammate? I want to hear what you think."
"Tyson's defense is excellent. His defense may not be reflected by the data. I think he will become the team's inside guard, and his cover is very good. I can find an easier way to shoot. If someone helps Tyson, he can catch my pass. Offensive; and Ron's surname can make our team tougher. He will be our greatest guarantee on the defensive end. He can also make his teammates' defense better. I think he can teach us a lot of defensive skills. In addition, although his attack is not diverse, it is enough to ensure that he becomes the second best in the team. Break up, which can share my scoring pressure; and And Andre Miller is a great organizational defender. To be honest, I only know that Steve Nash and Jason Kidd and even Chris Paul have never put him in the league's top defenders, but after cooperating with him, I can catch the ball more comfortably, and he is a The only pity for the low-level singles player is that his peripheral shooting is really bad. Lin Fei analyzed little by little, which was his conclusion through the best probe and ordinary training observation and video recording. Mike Dunleavy nodded his head from time to time.
Lin Fei continued to meditate and said, "And JR is really a horrible guy. I think his physical fitness is enough to rank in the top ten of the league. In addition, I don't think he is worse than me when his three points are crazy!"
Dunleavy nodded. He knew that Lin Fei was confident enough in the three-pointer, so when Lin Fei raised JR Smith's three-pointer to the same height as him, Mike Dunleavy knew how much Lin Fei appreciated JR's three-pointer ability.
"But it's a pity that his three-pointer is not stable enough, and Steve Novak, my God, it's really hard to believe that he is a big man. He is like a apex turret. He can throw the ball in. He has a big heart, and he has never given up his efforts. I think the two of them People can bring great vitality to the second lineup, and several newcomers have good talents. I think Nell has made a few good deals. Roy Hibbert, I want to develop well in the future. Maybe I can become the next Yao Ming. Speaking of this, Mike Dunleavy's eyes were obviously bright. The next Yao Ming is not a simple name.
"So how about Andre Jordan? Who will he be next in your eyes?" Mike Dunleavy asked with a smile.
Looking at Deng Liwei, Lin Fei lowered his head and thought for a moment, "He will become himself!"
"He himself?" Dunleavy asked in surprise.
"Yes, he is a rare physical fitness maniac among big men. He can jump up and cover the whole basket. He has a keen sense of rebounding, but his defensive experience is very lacking, and his card ability under the basket still needs to be exercised. If he exercises well, he will become an insiderring defender in the future!"
"What about the two little defenders?" Mike Dunleavy continued to ask.
"Mario's speed is very fast, but his body is a little thin, and Golan is the same. However, Golan's body is much more resistant to pressure than Mario, and Mario's passing is not as good as Golan's, but Mario's three-pointer and determination are better than Gran. In a word, they will become a qualified starting point guard."
Mike Dunleavy listened carefully to Lin Fei's analysis and nodded repeatedly, which was very gratified. "What about you in the new season?"
"Me?" Lin Fei asked suspiciously.
Looking at Lin Fei with a suspicious face, Deng Liwei said with a smile, "Yes, you! Ready to score or defend or all-round, my Clippers leader!"
Asked by Dun Liwei, Lin Fei thought, "Score, defense will definitely be required!" But I think my scoring pressure will be much less this season. I will put more energy into the defensive end, but I will take on the team's attack at the critical moment!" At the critical moment, Lin Fei's eyes were full of firmness and his tone was full of confidence.
"Do you still want to give the critical moment to your teammates?" Dunleavy laughed and said, "To know that you are the leader of the team, you must take on the critical moment of the team!" You should always remember that you are the leader of a team. I believe you can do a good job.
"Ha ha, I think I will!" Lin Fei answered with a smile, full of confidence.
On October 2, Montebello, United States, this small city under the rule of Los Angeles County, is full of fans in the downtown stadium that can accommodate 5,000 people. Such a scene has not appeared for a long time. There will be a game here today. The Los Angeles Clippers will play against the Phoenix Suns at home. This is NBA20 The first pre-season game of the 08-2009 season.
The new Clippers will set sail here, in the locker room of the home team Clippers, Mike. Dunleavy glanced at everyone in the locker room: "You were still in different teams last season, and now you have become teammates. Last season's Los Angeles Clippers was a lucky weak team in everyone's eyes, and this season's Los Angeles Clippers have become the enemy of this league teams. This is for What? Because we have the strength that they deserve to fear, but we can't relax because of this, because when you fail, countless people will laugh at it. From today on, I will really embark on a new journey with you! I believe you can, and so can I! Come on!"
Dun Levi** gave a speech, and there was no doubt that all the players were brought into a passionate mood.
Last season, the Suns were ambitious. They sent the hike Marion in exchange for Shark O'Neal, but in the playoffs, they finally lost to their old rival San Antonio Spurs and stopped in the first round in the West. After an off-season, the Phoenix decided to make a comeback under the leadership of Steve Nash, and the off-season. The Los Angeles Clippers, which caused a big storm, undoubtedly became the first official training of the Phoenixers in the new season.
Although this is a pre-season game and not in Los Angeles, it is also the home of the Clippers. Although there has never been a big event here, the performance of the live DJ is not inferior at all. In the boos of the audience, the Phoenix Suns players appeared, and with the appearance of the Hornets The Clippers players stood in the player channel one by one and waited to play. Lin Fei, the Clippers' appearance in the new season, is still arranged at the last. This arrangement is to highlight Lin Fei's position in the Clippers.
The first to appear is Ron Artest, who is a newcomer to the Clippers. Artest, who shows a tough man, bows his head and waits for the appearance.
"Let's welcome the strongest man No. 91 main striker with the biggest cheers... Ron... Artest..." With the live DJ's shouting, the Montebello fans sent a huge cheers to Artest.
Teammates came out in cheers one by one. Lin Fei waited at the end, with his hands behind his back and bowing his head.
"Finally, let's use the warmest applause, the craziest shouts, and the most vigorous cheers to welcome our leader, six feet and eight inches, wearing the No. 8 jersey... Lin... Lin... Lin... Feifei...!"
The voice of the live DJ shouted hoarsely, bringing the cheers of the stadium in downtown Montebello to an unprecedented **.
The new Clippers will officially set sail in Montebello!
