Chapter 166 Standing in front of making history
- The Clippers' journey in the second half of the season is not earth-shaking, but it is by no means dull. In February after the All-Stars, the Clippers ended with a complete victory, but Lin Fei failed to continue his history. The best player in February belongs to Paul, a Spaniard of the Clippers's Brothers Lakers. Gasol, in February, Gasol contributed 24.6 points, 15.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.2 blocks per game to the Lakers. In the face of such a hot state, it is natural to say goodbye to Gasol Linfei and the best player of the month. In Lin Fei's opinion, there is no O'Brien for several consecutive years. Good cup.
Lin Fei has a faint tendency to become the top superstar of the new generation of the League under official publicity. There is no doubt that all this comes from David, the president of the League. At Stern's instruction, Lin Fei also experienced the feeling of star whistle on the court. Although Lin Fei didn't like these things, there was nothing he could do. Lin Fei's popularity made some of Lin Hei jump out and say that Lin Fei was David. Stern's second god-son.
It has become a habit for the American people to see Lin Fei on the mainstream media in the United States, and it is a habit topic for American female surnames to talk about. Who makes Lin Fei look good.
There is no doubt that David Stern's plan to afforester the star has been an unprecedented success, and the market on the other side of the ocean has been expanded again because of Lin Fei and even expanded to Japan and South Korea.
The most direct statistics is that the total sales volume of Lin Fei's Clippers genuine Adidas jerseys in China is not even as good as that of the original. Of course, if the place where the Bilinfei jersey appears is obviously not comparable. For this reason, the staff of the Adidas jersey sales department once said a joke to his friends working in Nike, "such as If the Chinese people buy our Lin's authentic jerseys, the sales of Lin's jerseys will reach the highest in history.
Although the real surname of this sentence is unreliable, it is undoubtedly a fact.
The sales of jerseys in Japan and South Korea's Lin Fei have reached an amazing number. I have to say that this phenomenon is very strange. Lin Fei has not started his trip to China for three years, and this time under the arrangement of the largest sports company in the United States and Bob. Perinka reached an agreement that Lin Fei will launch a one-month Asian trip during the off-season.
To put it bluntly, it is a ** naked money-making action, but one is willing to beat and the other is willing to suffer. What's more, Lin Fei really wants to go to Asia, especially China.
Lin Fei, who occupied a lot of publicity, did not relax his efforts on and off the court, and his Clippers also entered the playoff sprint and adjustment period.
Like Shaquille. O'Neal, Rashid. Wallace and other veterans began to adjust their physical fitness and state for the start of the playoffs. After all, the intensity of the playoffs is not comparable to that of the regular season.
And Mike. Deng Liwei also began to take protective measures against Lin Fei. Despite the league's attention, Lin Fei's malicious fouls still happened from time to time in the game, which made Deng Liwei have to deal with it carefully. Lin Fei's playing time also slowly decreased. Although the data was affected by this, Lin Fei did not mind at all. After all, the real goal is still Playoffs.
In April, the Los Angeles Clippers' record completely locked in the first place in the West, and the Clippers also completely entered the playoff mode.
And other teams have also entered the final sprint period. For the Clippers, there is another legendary record in front of them, that is, the 72 wins and 10 losses created by the powerful Bulls in the 1995-1996 season. Last year's Clippers finished a little bit, and finally ended the regular season with 68 wins, and At the end of March, the Clippers had a record of 64 wins and 8 losses with ten games left. According to the state of the Clippers, they are likely to set a new regular season record.
"Our goal is the playoffs. Of course, if we can create a new history, why not?" Lin Fei said in an interview with the media.
On April 2, the Los Angeles Clippers' home stadium Staples ushered in the Lakers, the fourth-ranked team in the West. According to the record, the Lakers with 55 wins ranked fourth in the league, but because they were in the same district as the Clippers, they could only rank fourth.
The Lakers really want to win this victory. After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the Lakers and the Clippers will meet in the Western Conference semi-finals for the second year in a row. In the regular season, the Lakers and the Clippers have played three games and won only one game and won only one point. This victory can also increase the Lakers in the playoffs. Increase confidence.
But the result was not as they expected. The big screen clearly showed that the home team Clippers defeated the Lakers by 10 points.
Kobe played abnormally under the key care of Lin Fei and Artest. He also made 7 mistakes in only 10 of 29 shots and was criticized as the culprit of the Lakers' failure.
The Clippers won the Lakers' 65th victory of the season, one step closer to the Bulls' 72 wins.
Then the Los Angeles Clippers went away to challenge the weak Toronto Raptors. Lin Fei only played for 20 minutes and sat on the bench.
The Clippers defeated the Raptors back-to-back against the Milwaukee Bucks. This season's Bucks chose Brandon in the tenth pick. Jennings then achieved success. Jennings scored 55 points in a single game in the second-high rookie season in history against the Warriors, and Jennings also scored with Andrew, an insider Australian. Bogut has become the biggest support for the Bucks. At present, the Bucks also occupy the top eight positions in the East.
Before the race with the Clippers, Jennings said that he would let the Clippers know the strength of the Bucks and Lin Fei know his strength.
Lin Fei smiled and responded that it was good to win the game with the Bucks. The process of the game made the Milwaukee people at home cry without tears. It seems that Lin Fei directly blew up the defense of the Bucks in order to respond to Jennings' words. In the first quarter, he shot 7 three-pointers, 5 of them hit, and won 22 in the first quarter. The score is the same as that of the Bucks, and under Lin Fei's defense, the rookie Jennings shot 0 in the first quarter, and the gap is obvious.
In the second quarter, Lin Fei continued his fiery feeling. He scored four three-pointers again in the first six minutes. He scored 10 three-pointers before the end of the first half. He got a terrible 38 points in the first half, while Jennings only scored only 5 points. The Bucks were 24 points behind at the end of the first half. Lin Fei's The ferocity turned the whole second half into garbage time, and also turned Jennings' words before the game into a laughing stock.
The Clippers also won their 66th victory of the season, and Lin Fei also won the title of Best Player of Western Month in March.
The East's Player of the Month was the first substitution, and James, who had won the title of Player of the Month for four months, finally dropped, Dwyane. Wade won the title of Player of the Eastern Month in March, and after Lin Fei won the best player of the month in March, he won the best player of the month for four times, the same as James. The two became more and more fierce in the MVP competition, and James overtwined Lin Fei in the triple-double list with many economic triple-doubles.
Returning to Los Angeles from Milwaukee, the Clippers came to the door of the Minnesota Timberwolves after only one day' rest. The game ended in a fairly harmonious environment. The Timberwolves failed as they wished, while the Clippers continued to add a victory for themselves, reaching 67 wins, faster than last year. The ship's historical record can be tied only one by one.
The smooth Los Angeles Clippers had a defeat in New Orleans. In the face of the playoff seat, the Hornets lost the game, which made Mike. Dunleavy fell into thought.
If the playoff team also wants to play this game, there is no need to think about the O'Brien Cup at all. Adjusting the team's status is still the team's top priority. Dunleavy decided to give up trying to set a record and try his best to reserve physical strength for the playoffs.
The Clippers, who lost the ninth game of the season, must win all the remaining six games if they want to set a new record.
In the remaining six games, only the Sacramento Kings are weak. The last game is against the Oklahoma Thunder, a young guard who is fighting for the playoffs. As the system-identified enemy of Lin Fei's life, will Lin Fei easily take away the victory from him?
Before the Thunder, the Clippers still need to face another young guard Portland Trail Blazers who are struggling for the playoffs.
The biggest characteristics of these two teams are impactful. For the Clippers, which have a lot of veterans, the two games are destined not to be easy, while the remaining three teams are Utah Jazz, Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks.
In the away energy solution center, the Clippers narrowly beat the home team Jazz by 3 points. Lin Fei scored a key three-pointer with 17 seconds left in the game. Then the Jazz's three-point failure allowed the Clippers to get the team's historical record of 68 wins, and this key ball is also the 20th regular season key ball of Lin Fei's career (only counted). Prepare for the final kill and the final kill).
The number of key balls ranked second in active players, second only to Kobe Bryant, who completed 22 times.
In the activity where you are two points behind at the critical moment of ESPN's launch, Lin Fei defeated Jordan, Kobe, James and others and won the first place, which is enough to show the confidence of fans about Lin Fei's ability to execute the key ball.
The Clippers who defeated the Jazz went to the Pepsi Center and mercilessly defeated the Melon-led Nuggets. Under the greeting of Artest, Melon only got 18 points. Such Artest made the Clippers feel extremely satisfied, and the Clippers also set a new team record.
The Clippers returning to Los Angeles welcomed the Atlanta Hawks. The Clippers at home easily defeated the Hawks without qualifying pressure, raising their record to 70 wins and 9 losses.
Then in the duel between Lin Fei and Dwyane Wade's strongest shooting guard in the league, Lin Fei defeated Wade's 33 points with 38 points to lead the team to the 71st victory, and then defeated the Trail Blazers in the center of the Rose and got the 72nd victory, which really tied the Bulls' record. If it's fast The ship can win the Thunder on the road and will set a new record.
"I won't put down the gun in my hand. This is us who fights until the last minute. We will fight for victory, not only because we need to make a final fight for the playoffs, even if we completely lose the playoffs at this moment, we will do our best to fight." Kevin. Durant said to the media.
The night in Oklahoma City is particularly quiet. It is still very different from the prosperity of Los Angeles, but the stadium has long been full. The Oklahomans are looking forward to the Thunder on the stage of the playoffs for the first time, while the Clippers fans are looking forward to their Clippers creating a new history. The history of the Clippers.
The game is on the verge of breaking out.
