Chapter 156 Los Angeles Guard
- "Champion Promise" - the headline of the sports section of the Los Angeles Times, with the expression photo of Chen Hao hitting the first quarter of the whistle.
The article wrote the competition vividly, and finally focused on Lin Fei's role in the Clippers.
The Clippers, who won the Christmas War, officially raised their winning streak to 32 games, just one step away from the league's 33-game winning streak, and on December 27, they will usher in the 33rd game, which happens to be the powerful brother Los Angeles Lakers, even if they defeat Los Angeles. The Lakers Express still have to undergo a physical test, because they need to sit back at home against the equally powerful Boston Celtics. It is undoubtedly difficult for the Clippers to play against the league's top team for three consecutive games. David Stern himself did not expect the Los Angeles Clippers to be like this.
"It would be great if I put a few weak teams here at Christmas." David in the NBA office in New York. Stern said to himself.
"Thirty-three wins in a row?" - This is the headline on the NBA's official website. The following is the title winning streak. This column is the video cut of the 32 opponents defeated by the Los Angeles Clippers since the start of the game, and the next column is a record? This column is the wonderful clip of the Los Angeles Lakers this season and the Celtics' game. Seasonal performance.
The biggest challenge for the Los Angeles Clippers since they defeated the second place in the Rockets' record of consecutive league history in Houston is the longest 33 consecutive wins in the league.
Now the Clippers are still singing all the way to the door of the 33-game winning streak. With just one step, they can reach 33-game winning streak, and one more step can create a new history. Although it seems that there is only one or two games, everyone knows how difficult it is.
The Clippers' winning streak has been recognized by the media as far stronger than the Los Angeles Lakers. You know, there were only 17 teams in the league at that time, and the Lakers had the "Big Dipper" Wilt at the same time. Chamberlain, Alliance LOGO logo prototype Jerry. West and Goodrich are the three superstars, the future Hall of Fame players, and there is Pat on the bench. Riley, of the 17 teams that can hinder the Lakers, only have Skyhook Jabbar and Big O Oscar. The defending champion Milwaukee Bucks led by Robinson began on November 5, 1971 and lost to the defending champion Bucks on January 9, 1972. During this period, the Lakers completed a terrible 33-game winning streak. The Lakers also set the best record in the regular season at that time - 69 wins and 13 losses, straight In the 1995-1996 season, the Bulls set a new record with 72 wins and 10 losses, and finally the Los Angeles Lakers in 1972 won the championship without any doubt.
Now at the door of the record, the media began to constantly interview the participants of the Los Angeles Lakers' 33-game winning streak.
At that time, he was a substitute for the Lakers and now he is now the general manager of the Heat. Riley said, "I don't think the record is for being broken. The Clippers are a strong offensive and defensively balanced team. They have a neat lineup and many key players and superstars. They have defeated too many people and come to the door of the 33rd consecutive wins. However, it is still difficult to really break the record of 33 consecutive wins. Los Angeles Lakers and Boston will not be easy. I believe that the two teams will do their best to make themselves a stepping stone for the Clippers to set a record.
Pat at this moment. Riley is more focused on the offseason, and the Miami Heat's salary space makes them full of competition in the summer trading market.
"The Clippers quickly won 32 games in a row. This speed and start shocked everyone. I am one of them. When Houston completed 22 consecutive victories last year, I said that the Rockets were as confident as we were, but now it is different from the past. There are too many strong teams, and the challenges they have encountered are obviously stronger. At that time, I was not optimistic that they would break our record, and today's Clippers all know that they are strong. Although the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics are equally strong, if we want to find a team that can break our record, I really can't think of anything else except the Clippers, although the feeling of being broken has It's bad, but it's also good to witness the birth of a new record. Goodrich, one of the Lakers' three superstars who was now a commentator on NBA-TV, said to the media.
In addition, the Clippers' next two opponents, the Lakers and the Celtics, have attracted attention. After all, they are the biggest fetters on whether the Clippers can win 33 consecutive victories.
"Bryant, it is said that relevant people have revealed that you will relax properly in order to match certain needs and the Clippers. Is there such a thing?" Kobe has just finished training and a large group of reporters gathered around.
Kobe wiped his sweat and his face was full of displeasure. "My professional told me that I would never do such a thing. To play the game wholeheartedly is to have more respect for basketball to them."
After saying that, Kobe pushed the crowd away and walked into the player channel.
"We are still behind the Lakers, so we just need to wait and see for the time being, right? We may not have a chance to be the key for the Clippers to break the record. Celtics head coach Doug. Rivers said in an interview with the media.
The eyes of the whole United States are focused on the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Staples ticket price on the 27th has been speculated to $2,000 on the Internet, which is still the worst seat, and the best seat has been speculated to $30,000.
You can see how much attention this game is from the ticket price.
In the afternoon of 27, when the Clippers' pre-match adaptation training was about to end, Deng Liwei and Lin Fei walked to the sidelines. Lin Fei clapped his hands and said, "Guys, please stop."
Everyone looked curiously at Lin Fei next to Deng Liwei. They didn't know what Lin Fei was going to do.
"We have achieved such a result all the way from the off-season, an incredible result that even all of us can't imagine in our lifetime - 32 consecutive wins! Such glory belongs to us. It is impossible to achieve such a result without the efforts of all of us. Now we have reached a critical moment. I dare to say that the other 29 teams in the league are looking forward to our losses. I hope that we can stop winning and stand in front of a legendary great record. Two games can kick their record and make ourselves the first. Bryant is a proud guy, and the Lakers are a proud team. They have never seen the Clippers, and we tell them my existence with facts. Now we need to challenge them and they have to protect them. Pride, what we need to do now is to kick off their pride. Los Angeles is not only the Lakers and the Clippers. I know that the high-intensity game makes everyone very tired, but now we have no reason to stand in front of the record. Let's fight to the end together, okay?
Lin Fei's voice hit everyone's eardrums.
"Good!" All the players shouted in unison, neat and uniform, and the voice echoed in the Staples Arena.
O'Neal and Wallace looked at each other, and they felt as if they had returned to the league more than a decade ago.
Odom, who was a Lakers player who made great contributions to the Lakers' championship last season, quietly looked at Lin Fei. When Lin Fei first entered the league, he had a good relationship with Lin Fei in the Lakers. At that time, he felt that Lin Fei had the potential to become the next Kobe. Now he has given up his idea, because Lin Fei is not Kobe, but He will be the first person.
"Lin, do you have anything to say about the game tonight? Bryant said he would beat you." A white reporter ran to Lin Fei with a microphone.
Lin Fei naturally knows what Kobe said. "Bryant's words are what I want to say. Playing the game as hard as possible is our greatest respect for their basketball." After saying that, Lin Fei turned around and left.
The game was held at 8:00 p.m. Los Angeles time. Just at 6:30 p.m., a large number of vehicles in Los Angeles drove towards Staples, and Staples were full before 7:00 p.m.
Today's game is the home of the Lakers, and the Lakers fans at the scene also occupy the majority. The fans wearing the No. 24 Lakers jersey are undoubtedly the most eye-catching, and there are many fans wearing Lin Fei's No. 8 Clippers jerseys, and even some fans wearing Lin Fei's No. 8 Lakers jersey.
"I won't show mercy in the game." Kobe said in Lin Fei's ear.
Lin Fei smiled gently, "It's not you, is it?"
Kobe loosened the still cold expression on Lin Fei's face. Looking at Kobe's back, Lin Fei felt the momentum on Kobe's body. Lin Fei could feel the difficulty of tonight's game.
Anzu. Byram is the Lakers' biggest gain this season. With the increase in playing time and the continuous growth of this season, Byram is vaguely close to the team's second head position, which can provide the Lakers with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks.
The referee whistled, and Byram and Tyson Chandler jumped up and went straight to the basketball at the same time.
In the end, Chandler, who was slightly stronger in physical fitness, touched the basketball by a narrow margin. The basketball did not fly to Andre Miller, but flew to the backcourt.
Lin Fei is the player closest to the basketball landing point. He turned around and chased after the basketball.
When Lin Fei's palm just grabbed the basketball, one hand suddenly poked out. Facing the hand that suddenly poked out behind him, Lin Fei hurriedly pulled the ball back in his hand.
But he was still touched. The basketball was a little out of his control. Lin Fei didn't want the first data he got in this game to be a mistake. An acceleration chased the basketball. At this time, Lin Fei saw that it was Kobe who tried to intercept the ball from behind. The speed advantage ensured that Lin Fei took back the ball that almost made a mistake. Come on.
Looking at Kobe's eyes, Lin Fei stabilized the rhythm and quickly pushed forward with the ball, and Kobe did not rush to steal, but constantly interfered with Lin Fei with his body.
When Lin Fei came to the three-point line, the other players of the Clippers had fallen!
Without handing over the ball to Miller, Lin Fei stretched out the thumb of his left hand to signal the following tactics to his teammates.
Seeing Lin Fei's gesture, the whole Clippers immediately moved. Artest is now the easiest point for other teams to ignore. In today's Clippers Artest' offensive role has become very simple, basically firing a cold gun. At this time, he cut the Lakers's inside from the right 45 degrees, while Rashid Wallace and Tyson Chandler The two of them formed a good cover.
Ariza was obviously unprepared for the sudden acceleration of Artest. When he reacted, he was blocked by the inside Wallace and Chandler. Lin Fei directly shook the basketball and bounced directly to the left bottom corner. At the same time, Artest rushed to form a vacant position without wasting this. Chance, steadily send the ball into the basket.
"I didn't expect Lin to choose to pass the ball, and I didn't expect Ron to become the first record for the Clippers." Lei Jie. Miller said what he thought in his heart. Indeed, no one would have thought that Artest would become an offensive point.
"Why don't you come by yourself? Aren't you confident?" Kobe's cold tone penetrated into Lin Fei's ears.
"You know that rubbish is useless to me." Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders at Kobe and said, "Of course I can do it."
In the face of the aggressive Kobe Bryant, Artest is very experienced in maintaining a defensive distance first. Kobe wants to directly break through Artest. When the two people's physical contact, Artest's most proud power advantage immediately appeared.
Under the physical pressure of Artest, Kobe gave up a direct breakthrough and pulled it out again.
"This is Ron's role. Ron's role looks a little less than last season, but it's actually better for the Clippers. Ron's focus on defense is a good deal for the Clippers." Kenny Smith commented.
Kobe's diverse offensive methods are the top in the league. Kobe, who gave up physical contact, tested Artest's defense with continuous cross-step dribbles. The sudden change of acceleration combined with Artest's inflexible shortcomings immediately appeared. Although Artest worked hard enough, he still let Kobe break through the past. .
Lin Fei, who was not far away, saw Kobe's movements and immediately prepared to rush up. When he saw that Artest was about to stop Lin Fei, he immediately chose to leave Ariza, "Ron, I'll leave it to you." After saying that, Lin Fei accelerated and chased directly.
The speed advantage ensured that Lin Fei caught up with Kobe. Lin Fei did not follow Kobe, but retreated half a step and waited for Kobe's next move.
Kobe Bryant saw that Lin Fei stepped back half a step and immediately made his own action. The whole person braked sharply. All the momentum stagnated with the harsh friction sound of the sneakers, and then the whole person rose up.
Urgent stop jump shot!
Lin Fei was shocked and rushed to Kobe.
The emergency stop jump shot is his conventional offensive weapon for Kobe, which is much better than Lin Fei's emergency stop jump shot. With his arm span and height advantages, Lin Fei tried to make up for his position disadvantage. His hand did not want to block the ball in Kobe's hand, but went straight to Kobe's eyes.
Lin Fei knew that even if his defense was like this, Kobe would not stop.
As Lin Fei thought, Kobe still shot, and the whole person threw the ball out with an obvious back in the absence of realization.
Lin Fei has done the best he can do, and the rest can only rely on Kobe's feel.
"Wo"
Lin Fei had just turned to the ground and turned around, and there was a crisp sound of wiping the net from the basket.
The cheers of the fans at the scene told Lin Fei that Kobe had scored, and Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"This is Bryant." Charles. Barkley's tone was a little helpless.
"Lin's defense has done his best. The goal is not Lin's defense problem." Reggie Miller said so.
Andre. Miller dribbled the ball forward and saw Lin Fei, who was on the 45-degree three-point line, immediately passed the ball.
After receiving the ball steadily, Lin Fei was not in a hurry to attack. First, he looked at his teammates. So far, Lin Fei felt that his desire to attack was not strong, and he needed to adjust it.
Lin Fei gestured again, Rashid. Wallace saw Lin Fei's gesture and immediately pulled to the outside line until Wallace was about to stand firm, and Lin Fei moved.
The speed is increased to the highest in an instant, just like the top Aston Martin in the sports car, which can increase the speed to the maximum in the shortest time.
After a collision with Kobe Bryant on his side knocked Kobe slightly away, Lin Fei rushed directly to the inside line with Wallace's cover.
Kobe bypassed Wallace and chose to chase Lin Fei again, but Lin Fei came back.
Just like having eyes on the back of the head, the ball was passed back to Rashid. In the hands of Wallace.
This is one of the offensive tactics of the Clippers in the new season. Wallace covers and then takes the shot back.
It was too late for Kobe to turn back to defend Wallace in a hurry. He could only watch Wallace calmly take a look at the three-point line and throw the basketball in his hand.
The biggest improvement of Wallace, who came to the Clippers, is that his three-point shooting rate has increased significantly, which has increased to 43.4%, and has even become one of the popular candidates to participate in this year's Dallas All-Star Three-point competition.
Wh!
The basketball finally got into the basket neatly.
"Lin, are you going to do my work today?" Miller said with a smile at Lin Fei.
"Wow, what's going on today? Lin chose to pass the ball twice in a row. If it was before, he would definitely choose to hit the inside line. Although Anzu's performance this season is very good, I believe Lin will definitely not be afraid. Such a choice is probably due to the coach's tactical arrangement." Kenny. Smith said that if he knew that Lin Fei chose to pass the ball because he did not have a strong desire to attack, he didn't know what he would think.
Byram picked up the basketball and immediately sent it to Fisher. Fisher handed the ball to Kobe just after half. Lin Fei did not wait for Kobe to come up, but directly forced it up, while Artest forced up from the other side, and soon the two formed a pinch against Kobe.
Under the interference of four arms, Kobe finally chose to pass the ball and passed it to Byram, who was ready to cover for Kobe.
If Gasol catches the ball at this moment, he will never dare to put Gasol in a high vacancy under the speedboat, but the person at this moment is one of Byram's biggest offensive range is the middle-distance guy.
It was really impossible to attack and Lem handed the ball to Paul. Gasol, Gasol used his flexible footsteps to shake the space and send the ball into the basket.
Phil. Jackson was very satisfied when he saw Gasol's footsteps and goals. Only the Lakers had such a big man.
In the next game, Kobe often fell into the Clippers' double bag, and occasionally found a chance to take action. In this case, the Lakers' possession was more in Gasol's hands, and Gasol did not let the fans who supported him down. When Kobe was stared by the Clippers, he almost relied on Gasol's. Your own strength will bite the difference.
Lin Fei still seemed silent. After looking more like an excellent organization, he has played five assists in the first quarter.
Lin Fei ran to the front court, and Andrea was not far behind him. Miller's steady dribble pushed to the Lakers' half and saw Lin Fei fall and Miller passed the ball again.
Lin Fei did not directly choose the impact, but dribbled the ball horizontally, and Kobe carefully followed Lin Fei.
When he came to the penalty line, Lin Fei stopped moving, and his eyes swept through the inside line.
Kobe's afterglow saw Artest, who was ready to move, he immediately thought of Lin Fei and was ready to pass the ball, "Trevor!" Kobe reminded that Lin Fei pushed the ball to the left with both hands, and the speed made Kobe subconsciously extend his right hand to intercept.
"Damn it!" Kobe cursed and immediately withdrew his center of gravity and rushed to Lin Fei, but it was too late. Lin Fei had thrown the ball out.
Lin is an excellent liar! Fake fax cast, the data of Lin's five assists played a confusing role. Lei Jie. Miller said with a smile.
Barkley beside him felt extremely proud. He, who was the first Lin Mi, immediately opened the chatterbox. "This is a continuous mature performance. It's done beautifully. I said that Lin absolutely can't do it. He is setting up a big trap. Obviously, Bryant fell in!"
Lin Fei raised his eyebrows at Kobe and turned to run to the backfield.
Kobe glared at Lin Fei's figure, paused for a moment and immediately took a step forward.
Under Artest's greeting, although Lin Fei's bag was a little late, Kobe's luck this time was not as good as the opening, almost the same as the sudden stop and hit the basket.
Rashid put Gasol behind him, and Tyson Chandler chose the card position without fighting with Byram. Gasol and Byram watched the basketball fly over their heads but there was nothing they could do.
Lin Fei, who was quick-eyed, took off the defensive rebound after judging the landing point.
"Today, Lin went for the triple-double again. Although the expression on Phil's face was very stable, I can guarantee that he was worried that his strongest twin towers didn't even pass the rebound protection in the first quarter." Barkley said proudly.
"There is a lot of moisture in such a rebound. Tyson and Rashid entangled Paul and Anzu and then Lin picked it up." Kenny Smith subconsciously raised the bar. After discovering his bar, Smith immediately changed his words, "Of course, this is also an ability."
"Humph!" Barkley snorted discontentedly.
Lin Fei gave the rebound to Miller and immediately ran to the front field.
The defense of Los Angeles has just begun.
