Chapter 139 [End of the season] The man who stands forever!
In 17 seconds, the Lakers' ball power, and the Clippers are still two points behind, which requires them to use foul tactics. However, the Clippers did not have the opportunity to pause and could only launch an attack from the bottom line. Whether it was on the spot or off the field, the Clippers fans did not dare to expect a miracle, because it was difficult.
Phil Jackson used the penultimate pause for only 20 seconds.
"They will definitely use foul tactics. Don't wait in a hurry to wait for their fouls to avoid mistakes. As long as they foul and stand on the free throw line, we can win. Believe in yourselves. We only need to use up the last 17 seconds. Phil Jackson's voice echoed in the ears of every Lakers fan. On the contrary, the Clippers bench was much quieter. "We can only foul. We have no reason to give up now. We have to stand and lose. No one can give up. Miracles always come from ourselves rather than the charity of others. Whether they are two free throws or two free throws, as long as they get the ball, they will be handed over to Lin immediately.
Mike Dunleavy's eyes fell on Lin Fei. The sweat on the 20-year-old man's head had already formed a stream. The bandaged gauze turned red from a faint red at the beginning, and the blood seemed to break through the shackles of the gauze.
In the box above the Staples Arena, Nell Orshu's expression was unusually solemn, and Chen Xiyan stood in front of the window of the box.
Chen Xiyan, who was wearing a black women's suit, withdrew his sight and turned to look at Orshu, "Nell, how's it going with Phoenix?"
"It's almost the same. If we had a strong insider, we would never be dragged down until now." Orshu gritted his teeth and said.
"Where's Rashid?"
"I'm still working hard." Orshu turned around and said, "I'm sure to bring him to Los Angeles."
"That's good. We need them. Roy is still young. He still needs to learn. If they can come and be a good learning opportunity for Roy, the Clippers will need him in the future."
"Yes." Orshu nodded and echoed.
The referee blew the whistle, and the Clippers fans at the scene made a final cry with their hoarse voice.
Byram has been put off the court by Phil Jackson and replaced with Odom. Gasol stood on the bottom line and picked up the basketball. The next one on the fast boat can't wait to stick with the Clippers. With a whistle, the nine people on the court seemed to explode. The side of the court looked extremely chaotic. In the chaos, Kobe Bryant used Odom's cover ran out of the position, and Gasol immediately served the ball. As soon as Kobe dribbled the ball, Lin Fei pounced on it and took a foul.
At this time, there are still 15 seconds before the end of the game.
Listening to the huge boos of the familiar Staples, Kobe's expression is still as cold as usual. This free throw will be extremely important to him for the Lakers.
Wh!
Wh!
Two free throws were like a fire that burned out the last life-saving straw in the hearts of Clippers fans.
"Tyson!" Lin Fei shouted at Chandler, even if everyone gave up, he couldn't give up, even if there was still a second he didn't want to give up.
Four-point difference, backcourt service, 15 seconds.
Kobe followed Lin Fei to try to hinder Lin Fei's catch, but even so, Lin Fei ran out of the position.
Chandler immediately served the ball. As soon as Lin Fei received the serve, Kobe and Ariza gathered around.
He did not choose to pass the ball. After withdrawing and pulling away from the position, he accelerated with all his strength and abruptly passed between the two people who closed the door defense.
Lin Fei was racing against time. The Lakers tried to block Lin Fei and tried to delay Lin Fei's movements as much as possible, even if they were happy to see it for 0.1 seconds.
After Odom, after Fisher, Lin Fei became faster and faster, and behind him was a chasing Lakers player.
After the fierce friction between the soul generation and the floor, Lin Fei jumped and shot one step away from the three-point line, looking at the basket without even adjusting.
The arc of the basketball over Staples is still the standard Lin's three-pointer.
Wh!
The crisp sound of wiping the net continues the Clippers' road to the playoffs.
The fans are cheering. They see hope. They have a strong trust in Lin Fei's three-pointer. Now they are still one point behind in 10 seconds. If you use tactics and two free throws, it is three points. A three-pointer can drag the game into overtime. If two free throws and one point is not, you can also watch it. To the hope of victory, the Clippers fans began to interfere with the Lakers with their hoarse voices.
The cautious Zen master Phil Jackson used the Lakers' last long pause arrangement, and now the Lakers feel the pressure up and down.
Paul was grasping this long pause and quickly treated Lin Fei's eyebrow corner wound. When the gauze took off the cracked eyebrow corner, it looked a little horrible against the blood. The cotton ball that occupied the disinfectant rolled over the cracked eyebrow corner. Lin Fei seemed to have no feeling for the disinfectant at all.
Almost the same as just now, Kobe received Lin Fei's foul at the first time.
Although the bottom-line fans behind the rebound could not wait to take off their underwear to interfere with Kobe's free throw rate, when Kobe scored the first free throw, Mike Dunleavy used Steve. Novak, Wilson. Chandler, JR. Smith will be McBurts and Tyson. Chandler, Andre. Miller changed, and with Atest on the field, five players with three-point shooting ability put on the field to prepare for the last try.
Kobe Bryant was not surprised to throw the second ball into the basket, and also completely pushed the Clippers to the point where he had to choose three points.
The difference of three points, with 8 seconds left, the backcourt serve, forcing the Clippers to choose only three points.
In addition to Lin Fei, there are four players with good three-point shooting ability who will undoubtedly share the pressure on the defensive end for Lin Fei. Novak and Wilson Chandler are all outside the three-point line in the front court, Artest's bottom line to serve, and JR Smith and Lin Fei are ready to catch the ball in the backcourt.
Such an offensive position forced the Lakers to break down their tight joint defense, which also created an opportunity for Lin Fei to break through to the front court.
At the last minute, people always look forward to the appearance of heroes. Lin Fei is the most anticipated hero of Clippers fans at this critical moment.
He received the ball and accelerated, as usual, Kobe Lin Fei, who was guarding the front court, threw the last ball, almost pressing the final whistle basketball and left Lin Fei's finger. In order to avoid Kobe's whole body, Lin Fei took a huge back, Lin Fei, who lost his center of gravity in the air, hit the floor heavily and watched him fly higher and higher. Lin Fei closed his eyes, and this time he failed to change the fate of the Clippers.
"Bum!"
The sound of smashing the frame and the whistle at the end of the game ran through Lin Fei's eardrum at the same time. Lin Fei closed his eyes tightly. The coldness of the floor was in full contact with his soaked back. The trace of coldness could not dispel his disappointment.
With the sound of the basketball smashing the frame, many Clippers fans left tears. Originally, they had an excellent start, and they had the best opportunity, but now they have to swallow the pain of failure.
"It's all over. The young Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers for the second year in a row. I don't think there are any losers in this game. The best Lakers are on the road to the championship. The young Clippers are still on the way to growth. The current failure is for a better capacity for the future. I believe they will be stronger next year. Next year, I have reason to believe that they will be the most favorable contenders for the O'Brien Cup. Failure is only now, not forever. Don't be depressed, the young Clippers. Tomorrow will be better. The on-site commentator said emotionally, but these words were all right.
Orshu was disappointed when he saw the basketball smashed out. If the team's inside line could be stronger, it might have been another situation, but there is no regret in the world.
"Nell, I'm sorry to trouble you. Our action can be accelerated. I hope we can raise the flag of the championship next year." After saying that, Chen Xiyan walked out of the box. She knew how painful Lin Fei would be at this moment, but this is the NBA. What she can do is to make up for those shortcomings as much as possible for him.
"Kad, you have a lot of opportunities. I don't want to see you depressed like a woman. You know, I was still helping them run errands on the bench in the second year." Kobe pulled up Lin Fei.
"Women? I never do! Next year, I must stand on the stage of the finals and wear the championship ring. Lin Fei looked at Kobe and bit out word by word. Whether it was his expression or tone, it seemed that the impact of the key miss just now did not exist at all.
"Lin, you lost a key goal. Do you think the team's defeat is your reason? We all know that Paul Gasol, Anzu Bairam and Lamar Odom have completely blown up your inside line in this series. Do you think this is the main reason for the team's loss?
"We have done a good job. I should throw that ball in. If I am given another chance, I firmly believe that I can throw it in. I will not lose confidence because of this failure. It should be me, not my teammate, who is responsible for the team. After answering, Lin Fei went straight to the locker room.
Although his career as a leader has just begun, he has learned to carry the team on his shoulders.
It took seven difficult games to kill the Clippers to advance to the Western Conference finals. The Los Angeles Lakers fought six games against the Rockets with Yao Mai in the Western Conference finals. In the end, the Lakers kicked the Undead Qiang out of the playoff stage, and the Eastern Magic team advanced to the East after a difficult victory over Garnett's defending champion Celtics at 4:3. In the finals, the Cavaliers, led by James, the most valuable player of the regular season, advanced to the finals in six games in the Eastern Conference finals.
The young Warcraft harvested its bitter memories on the stage of the finals, and the 0:4 sweep made the Warcraft return with loss.
The curtain of the 2008-2009 season slowly pulled up. Ke was willing to win the championship, and his former younger brother Lin Fei is now "vacating" on the beach in Hawaii. No one blames Lin Fei for the exit of the Clippers. Everyone firmly believes that the Clippers will be stronger next year.
"Roaring Heavenly Comes to Los Angeles" - this is the title of the sports edition of the Los Angeles Times.
And this rumor opened the curtain of trading in the summer of 2009.
