Chapter 80 Will not flinch!
Lin Fei, who was hugged by his teammates, smiled and took over the big towel and Gederle in the hands of the staff. Now that the game has entered the most critical moment, every minute and every second rest is important. It is undeniable that the slam dunk just now has indeed consumed Lin Fei's huge physical strength, but such a dunk when the team is behind. The basket is his heartfelt choice. Such a dunk is of great help to improve the team's morale. Looking at the energetic appearance of his teammates, Lin Fei will smile.
The logistics staff replaced the deformed basket. The audience at the New Orleans Arena still can't believe the dunk that Lin Fei has just completed, and the explanation table is full of words. Mike Dunleavy's arrangement is very simple to give it to Lin Fei, and he gives 100% trust to Lin Fei. .
"Okay, the game starts again, so the game is suspended for ten minutes, which is a good rest time for both players, so the next game between the two sides will definitely be more exciting."
"Yes, the last two minutes will undoubtedly be a wonderful moment. Now the Hornets are still leading by three points, a three-point lead." With Mark Jackson's commentary, the last two minutes of the game officially began.
As the leader of the team, Chris Paul needed to stand up when the team's morale was obviously affected by Lin Fei's dunk. Lin Fei carefully guarded Paul and dared not blink, just like worrying that Chris Paul would disappear from his eyes in an instant.
Lin Fei felt that he had done his best, but the pressure Paul brought to him at this moment was still huge. The basketball was beating back and forth in sight. As the top defender in the league, Paul calmly faced Lin Fei's defense, without any anxiety and suppressed the rhythm of the team. This is an excellent back. Wei must have the psychological quality.
As soon as the waist and abdomen moved, Chris Paul made an action. All this happened almost at the same time. This speed really surprised Lin Fei. Fortunately, Lin Fei was ready to slide directly and block Paul with his chest.
Pup!
A **, the basketball went straight to the left hand, and the stay in the left hand was short enough to be ignored. The basketball rebounded from the back to the right hand again, followed by a huge change to the left foot, stuck in Lin Fei's right leg, and the ball crossed the right hand with a fierce acceleration. Lin Fei felt that his frontal defense could not withstand Paul's attack. Suo retreated and directly turned around and chased him directly.
"Chris Paul, past Lin, this is an opportunity!" Mark Jackson praised Paul's attack.
"Lin didn't give up. He tried to prove himself and try to complete this defense." Bill Wharton was still in Lin Mi's camp.
"[***]!" The low scolding voice came out of Lin Fei's mouth. Paul rationally chose to pass the ball under his chasing defense. West threw this key middle distance in. With the hit of the ball, the Hornets once again had a five-point lead. Although the difference of five points was not big, compared with the little time left, five points The difference is already a big lead for the Hornets, and what they want to do most after scoring is defense.
The whole New Orleans stadium is full of defensive cheers. The huge decibels test the pressure resistance of the Clippers. At this time, there is still one and a half minutes before the end of the game. If the Clippers want to win, they must first fill in this seemingly small five-point pit, Andre Miller controls the rhythm. At this time, the success rate is extremely important for the Clippers, and the consequences will only be worse.
Lin Fei looked at Posey in front of him and curled his lips. If it was Paul, he would definitely choose to use a height advantage without hesitation, but Lin Fei's advantage over James Posey in the second half gave Lin Fei a psychological advantage.
Tyson Chandler took a cover. Andre Miller took the opportunity to cut in and then passed back to Tyson Chandler, who was one step at the free throw line. At this time, Chandler was unmarked. Obviously, he had no confidence in his shot, and his raised arm was taken down again. When Tyson's hesitant Kaman immediately forced up, money Dele could only pass the ball to Wilson Chandler on the other side, and the ball was passed to Artest on the outside line without stopping too much in Wilson Chandler's hand.
The continuous first-hand pass between the Clippers players made the Hornets' defensive formation a little confused, but James Posey did not participate much in it. He is now focusing on Lin Fei, and others have long been ignored by him.
Just when the basketball was quickly passed in the hands of several people, Lin Fei made a fake move, and the signature Lin's running position was staged. Artest immediately passed the ball to the line of Lin Fei's running position.
James Posey's nerves tightened in an instant, and with a gentle curse, he immediately gritted his teeth and chased him, but he was still more than half a position behind.
"Lin, I got the ball. This is an opportunity!" Bill Walton shouted.
Lin Fei stopped suddenly outside the three-point line and quickly glanced at the basket in the distance. The time on the timer was constantly decreasing.
The five-point difference is not a problem for Lin Fei. When it feels hot, two points and three points can overtake the difference.
With his left foot on the ground, he jumped up directly in place. The basketball was raised, his wrist was pressed down, and his fingers gently moved the basketball. The textbook-like shooting posture unfolded in an instant. The afterglow glanced at the defensive player James Posey, who was not far from the three-point line. There was a curved angle at the corner of his mouth, and the whole shooting action had been driving for a long time. He was as familiar as his usual shooting training tens of millions of times, watching the basketball fly over Posey's fingers to the basket in the distance.
Although New Orleans fans are reluctant, they still can't stop basketball from moving forward.
"Wo"
With the crisp sound of wiping the net, the boos at the scene suddenly dropped to several levels.
"Yes!" Mike Dunleavy waved his fist excitedly. Now he is only two points away from pressure, but he returned to the Hornets and shouted at the players on the court: "Defensive, press up, defend..."
"This is a team goal. Lin Fei's teammates should be 50% credited. It was the consecutive pass in the early stage that tore open the Hornets' defense. To be honest, this reminds me that a pass in the football game is probably the same effect!" Mark Jackson said with a smile.
Byron Scott looked at Paul on the court. Paul carried the ball steadily to the front court. Lin Fei directly pasted it, as if he wanted to become a one-in-one baby with Paul. He contacted Paul everywhere in order to interfere with Paul's dribbling rhythm.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two people's bodies kept in contact. Originally, Lin Fei's physical strength was stronger than that of Paul. Coupled with the advantages of height and arm span and Lin Fei's desperate entanglement, Paul lost his impact advantage and could not find a good offensive line. Several attempts failed.
After several tests without results, Chris Paul finally gave up the idea of playing singles and immediately took a step back. He pulled two steps away from the three-point line and gave his thumbs up to his teammates to cover.
Lin Fei took a step and pasted it again. He made up his mind not to let Paul have a trace of space. His body constantly oppressed Paul's dribbling rhythm. Even if Paul's dribbling level reached a super level, at this moment, he was a little deformed under Lin Fei's unyielding mad dog defense.
Lin Fei did not want to break the ball directly, but disrupted the rhythm as much as possible. After all, there is still time before the end of the game. The most important task at this moment is defense. The Hornets' twenty-four-second offensive time is getting less and less, and Chris Kaman's cover makes Paul see hope.
Chris Paul's calf suddenly strained, forming a angular muscle line, and the whole person rushed to Lin Fei's side as if it started in an instant.
Bang!
Two people collided one by one, and the center of gravity of Chris Paul's body was obviously shaken. Lin Fei's afterglow noticed Chris Carman's cover. He did not chase directly, but suddenly retreated and bypassed Kaman's slipped again. When Lin Fei appeared on Paul's side again, Paul's face showed surprise.
New Orleans fans couldn't help taking a cold breath. When did Lin Fei's defense become so strong? Just when everyone was surprised, Lin Fei did not stop defending himself. His bow bent his whole body and his strength gathered on the soles of his feet and flew out like a cheetah. When Paul reacted, he faced Lin Flying such a domineering and fast way to break the ball can only hurried back and dodge, but he still failed to do what he wanted after a rhythm.
Pup!
Lin Fei's palm touched the basketball, and the basketball immediately got out of Paul's control and flew straight out of bounds.
Looking at the basketball flying out of bounds, Lin Fei rushed over and flew almost parallel.
Scarlett and Cusbert's hands were unconsciously clenched together.
Pup!
Lin Fei couldn't be happy when his palm reached the basketball and threw the ball directly behind him, but he couldn't avoid the floor.
Bang!
The whole person fell heavily on the floor, and the back of the body and the billboard hit again. The Clippers fans couldn't help worrying for Lin Fei's injury.
At the moment of hitting the floor, Lin Fei clearly felt a slight pain in his waist, but common sense told him that it would not be a big deal if it was a hard injury.
The ball returned by Lin Fei was not snatched by the Clippers and still came to Paul's hand, but in the last second of the 24-second time, Paul, who was a few steps away from the three-point line, hurriedly threw the ball.
Wo!
The basketball bounced far away from the front of the basket. Artest squeezed Peterson away with his strong body and grabbed the rebound and immediately called a timeout.
The team doctor ran to Lin Fei with the first aid kit, and his teammates gathered around one by one.
"Lin, are you all right? Tell me, where does it hurt now? Is it the waist and back?
Lin Fei gritted his teeth and although it was a hard injury, it was also abnormally painful at this moment. "It's the waist, but it's okay. It's just a hard injury."
Hearing Lin Fei's words, the team doctor checked Lin Fei's waist and opened his jersey. Lin Fei's waist skin turned red.
Lin Fei looked around his teammates around him and showed a reassuring smile, "I'm fine. It's just a hard injury!"
The team doctor breathed a sigh of relief. The examination results were very good, and there were no serious injuries, but from the perspective of the team doctor, he still hoped that Lin Fei would choose to rest.
After all, if you can't control it well, it is likely to cause more injuries. "Can you still stand up?"
"Yes!" Lin Fei answered very simply. His palms were on the ground. He stood up and looked fine, but he could clearly feel the pain in his waist.
Mike Dunleavy called a long pause, and Dunleavy asked eagerly, "How's his injury?"
"No big problem, just a hard injury..."
"Can we continue to play this game?" Deng Liwei directly interrupted the team doctor's words, which was enough to see his urgent mood at this moment. After all, Lin Fei's big heart is unmatched by other players. With Lin Fei, his heart is the same.
"It's better not to. Although it's just a hard injury, it can't be ruled out that it will deteriorate under high-intensity confrontation. The waist injury should not be underestimated, so it's better not to let him play." The team doctor said truthfully in the spirit of his profession.
"I'm fine. I can play!" Lin Fei, the person next to him, said, and Mike Dunleavy frowned.
"Lin, rest is the most important thing for you now. Do you want to affect your whole career because of a hard injury?"
Lin Fei didn't even think about it, "I know my physical condition. Don't worry, I know how to do it, but I won't leave, believe me!" Lin, you are taking risks again. There are many such games in your career, and you should be responsible for yourself. The team doctor tried his best to persuade.
"I won't flinch!" Lin Fei's persistence made the team doctor speechless. Generally speaking, the team doctor's words are the standard for players to play, but there are always some people who make them helpless, such as Kobe Bryant, such as Dwyane Wade, and now there are more Lin Fei in this list.
The team doctor turned his eyes to Deng Liwei. Deng Liwei nodded, and the team doctor had no choice but to accept it.
"Lin is so desperate! His defense is like a mad dog, completely ignoring his body. Although this spirit is great, he should know that he is a professional athlete and should know how to protect himself!" Although Jeff Van Gundy admired Lin Fei's defense, he disagreed. Indeed, the body is the capital of the revolution.
"Yes, but this is him, a paranoid madman." Bill Wharton took a look at Van Gundy and said that he understood Lin Fei's behavior.
"It seems that Lin must have been injured. From the impact just now, it can be seen that he should be injured lightly, which is a test for the Clippers who are eager to equalize or even win the final victory. Look at the nervous expressions of Scarlett and Cusbert. As a man, I have to admire Lin's charm. Mark Jackson's words are a little sour.
"Lin should choose to rest now. Although I am a super Lin Mi, I expect him to stage the hero's return, but physical health is the most important thing. This is far more important than this game, but I know that Lin Fei will not compromise easily. Bil Wharton said from his own experience that if there is no injury, he can definitely become one of the greatest centers in history, so he knows the horror of injuries, but at the same time, he also knows Lin Fei's surname, and he can only smile helplessly.
"He's still on the stage!" Bill Wharton looked at Lin Fei's voice on the stage and felt a little helpless.
