Chapter 209 The End of the Times

(above)

Time: June 8, 2011; Location: American Airlines Center Arena, Miami; Event: the fifth game of the NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Clippers led 3:1 in the first four games.

The boos of the American Airlines Center can directly overturn the ceiling, and Lin Fei's faint smile at the corners of his mouth are extremely happy cheering at this moment.

The finals is 2-3-2. This is the third game in Miami. The Heat burst out unimaginable potential in the last game. James's triple-double and Wade's fiery feel helped the Heat beat the cold Clippers with a huge advantage of nearly 20 points. Seeing the hope of the Big Three, although this hope is very small, the Heat continued the madness of the last game and they had no way out. However, the Clippers did not intend to give the Heat a chance. The game has been held in the middle of the fourth quarter. Just after Lin Fei shook off James's defense, he went straight into the inside line. A slam dunk was staged on his head to help the Clippers pull the difference back to 15, and the time is getting less and less. For the Heat, it seems that every point is so difficult to recover.

"Although the Heat is at home, and although they have the enviable Big Three, it turns out that players without a good role can't succeed by relying on the giants alone. Compared with the Clippers, they still need to work hard. The Big Three are likely to watch their opponents crazily celebrate two consecutive championships at home. Come on." Steve. Cole said in a relaxed tone.

"Yes, there is no doubt that the simple giant model will not succeed, but there is no need to worry about Miami. I can guarantee that many players will be willing to go to Miami, but the Clippers are the opposite. I heard that Shaquille and Rashid will choose to retire after this finals, and neither Wilson and JR have a match. The team has reached a contract renewal agreement. To be honest, the strength of the Clippers next season will decline to a certain extent. Next season is the best opportunity for all teams in the league. Lei Jie. Miller said.

On the court, James dribbled directly from the backcourt and passed through the middle line quickly. Artest did not push up directly. Compared with James's footsteps, his footsteps were undoubtedly at a disadvantage. In addition, James' shooting was significantly weaker than other shooting ability, so Artest waited in the three-point line.

However, James was caught off guard when he hit Artest. When there was still one step away from the three-point line, James suddenly jumped out. Such a sudden choice surprised everyone. After all, James was not Lin Fei. However, in such a situation, James's three-pointer neatly penetrated into the basket, and the whole American Airlines The center immediately sent a hoarse cheer.

"I can't believe that LeBron sent the ball into the basket with an unconventional choice. I just thought there was something wrong with my eyes. I thought it was Lin." Steve. The expression on Cole's face told everyone how surprised he was at James's sudden action.

"Can I say that LeBron's shooting posture is ugly?" Lei Jie. Miller's smile looked very thief.

James glanced at Lin Fei, who was not far away, and then turned around and ran to the backcourt. There was no celebration as if the three points just had nothing to do with him.

The Clippers' attack soon unfolded. Lin Fei, who has the ball in his hand, has become more and more terrible. Lin Fei's performance in 82 regular matches this season has already told everyone how horrible he is. He raised his thumb to indicate that there is no need to block, Lin Fei looked at James in front of him with the corners of his mouth. The smile.

In the face of James's defense, Lin Fei's dribbling rhythm tests James' defensive nerves.

"Is there any action?" James narrowed his eyes. He felt that Lin Fei's dribbling was becoming more and more obvious, and his arms began to open more.

!

After the harsh friction between the fourth generation of the soul and the floor in front of James on the left, the whole person made a dribble at an unimaginable speed.

James, who had already tightened his defensive nerves, subconsciously reacted defensively. However, when he reacted tenaciously, Lin Fei gently patted the basketball with his left hand and accurately hit it between his legs and rebounded to Lin Fei's right hand. At the same time, Lin Fei's left foot just stuck James and patted the whole person short. The second acceleration was completed in a short moment, and James was thrown behind by Lin Fei.

After getting rid of the difficult James, Lin Fei went straight to the Heat inside line. Bosh, the biggest dragon king of the Heat, has committed four fouls. Although Bosh's conservative criticism in the regular season, Bosh is indispensable for the Heat, which is weak inside, but at this moment, Bosh is an attractive hunter in Lin Fei's eyes. Things.

Bosh looked at Lin Fei, who rushed to the inside line, and immediately adjusted his footsteps. When he saw Lin Fei rushing to his left, he quickly moved his footsteps, and a beautiful horizontal movement blocked Lin Fei's way.

Lin Fei, who had already had an idea, leaned on Bosh's left foot as the axis. He pulled up and turned the ball and came to Lin Fei's left hand. Bosh staggered to adjust his defensive footsteps, but Lin Fei failed Bo Shi Ruyi to pull back and made a shooting action. Subconsciously Bosh jumped up.

The moment Bosh jumped up, Pat in the box above the American Airlines Center. Riley shook his head in disappointment.

The moment when he jumped out and waited for the whistle as before, he pulled the ball out.

The basketball got into the basket in the boos of 20,000 people.

Lin Fei waved his fist and walked to the free throw line!

For Lin Fei, who has created a 99.3% free throw rate in the new season, a free throw is a delivery.

Gently patted the ball and threw it out in a boo.

The difference came to 15 points again. Under the attack and defense conversion speedboat, he insisted on his stable and orderly defensive formation. Wade received James' pass, and Lin Fei immediately forced it up without hesitation, which did not make Wade feel a little relaxed. Lin Fei, who was much taller than Wade, opened his arms and almost completely shrouded Wade. Wade didn't dribble the ball casually. Wade grabbed the ball with both hands and observed the situation of his teammates.

James on the other side used Bosh's cover to shake off Artest, and Wade immediately passed the ball. After receiving the ball, James immediately took a step in the direction of the basket to adjust, and then jumped up directly and went straight to the basket!

"LeBron Moment?" Steve. Cole looked at James who flew to the basket and said.

"Steve, you should ask Lin whether he agrees or not!" With Reggie. As soon as Miller's words fell, Lin Fei, who just forced Wade to pass the ball, has appeared beside James. Now the two people who are recognized as the strongest lag in the league have started the most direct dialogue.

Lin Fei stretched his arms as much as possible, and his fingers were getting closer and closer to the ball in James's hand.

Bang!

When the palm fan was on the side of the basketball, a huge force made James feel desperate.

How James wished that this moment was not the end but the beginning, but the dazzling bright red numbers told him that he was defeated, the most direct defeat.

The cheers of the American Airlines Center seemed so empty that nearly 20,000 Heat fans watched a few Clippers fans celebrate at their home.

"We just started. Next year it must be us."

Lin Fei didn't say anything but listened to James carefully, "I hope so." With that, Lin Fei stretched out his hands.

A simple hug between the two people came to an end to the 2010-2011 season.

"Shaq, where do you think Lin's future is?" Rashid. Wallace is not as excited as before. Maybe it's time to leave.

"The future?" O'Neal's big face showed an elusive smile, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be thinking.

"I only know that he is unique, as for the others? I think we'd better witness it slowly. It must be wonderful. After saying that, O'Neill picked up a large bucket of Gatory and ran to Lin Fei in the middle of the field.

"Shaq, and me!" Wallace said and ran over with a bucket.

(middle)

Time: June 18, 2024, Location: Lin Fei's villa in Los Angeles.

"Lin, can you really stay for another year?"

"We need you, we will always need you!"

"Lin, don't go, this is not the end!"

......

Scarlett. Johnson looked at the study. The door of the study was closed tightly. Scarlett's face did not seem to have changed much from a decade ago, and she could hardly see the traces left by the years on her face.

"Elisa, you need to change your mood to watch the game in the future." Jessica sitting on the sofa. Bell was talking, but the direction of his eyes was also the closed study door.

"Yes, we will change our mood in the future, although I believe that little guy will not do worse than him." Chen Xiyan said with a smile, with maternal love shining in his smile.

"He is a naughty guy. Oh, my God, I absolutely don't doubt that he will be more crazy than his father in the future, but the happiest thing is that I think he must be a Lakers fan. In 18 years, they will have a great chance to have another Lin, right?" Eliza. Cusbert said with a smile.

After a door, Lin Fei's eyes were a little empty and more complicated. Unconsciously, he had spent 18 years in this league. When he really wanted to leave, he was so reluctant. Before the start of this season, someone joked that he would be the first ball in NBA history to compete with his son. Thinking of this, Lin Fei looked at the photo frame on the desk. The handsome boy wearing the NCAA champion hat. Lin Fei could faintly see himself on the frame glass, a face that was no longer young.

"It's time to leave, isn't it?"

......

Today's Staples Center is not like it was 18 years ago. The upgraded Staples can accommodate nearly 40,000 people. Today, there is almost no place to stand. Too many fans have tears on their faces, and the sound of the whole audience constantly hits Lin Fei's eardrums.

"Lin, why don't you..." Rosen. Fuld's words were interrupted by Lin Fei before he finished speaking.

"Roson, thank you, but it's time for me to start a new journey." Lin Fei felt that the atmosphere in the whole locker room was a little depressing, and all his eyes were looking at him. "Guys, today is the seventh game. Do you want an old man like me to leave with regret? Well, let me tell you the real reason why I'm leaving. Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless.

"The real reason?"

Lin Fei's words successfully attracted everyone's attention. They can't imagine what prompted Lin Fei's decision to leave. You know, although he is 36 years old, Lin Fei is still the top of the league. Everyone believes that Lin Fei can continue his career.

"I don't want to lose to that stinky boy. From the day he started playing, he wrote in his diary that I was going to beat my father. Oh, my God, I didn't know until he won the championship in the interview. Guys, you know the stinky boy's surname. Well, I can't beat him. For my reputation, I'm determined. I'll leave."

Although everyone knew that Lin Fei's words were fake, Lin Fei's words enlivened the atmosphere of the locker room, and they vowed to say goodbye to Lin Fei with the championship.

"Kenny, there are still eight seconds left, the last eight seconds." Barkley's face in the camera was too old, and his tone was full of reluctance.

"In the last eight seconds, Charles, are we too un dedicated?" Kenny. Smith also began the last journey of his life.

"Kenny, we are old guys. We should have the privilege to go to hell. I just hope to enjoy the last eight seconds." Barkley said that it seemed to go back more than a decade ago. "In the last eight seconds, the Clippers were one point behind. Lin once said that he would not let the Celtics win a championship in his whole career. He has done it four times, so what about this time? I believe he will do it again."

Hear what Barkley said, Kenny. Smith seemed to return to the words of bickering with Barkley more than a decade ago, and looked at Barkley beside him and shook his head gently.

"Lin, please stay, Lin, please stay..."

The voices of more than 40,000 people filled the huge Staples Center. Standing on the sidelines, Lin Fei felt that something was flowing out of his eyes!

Ross. Fuld stared at Lin Fei, "Lin, you must know how to do it. Come on!"

Lin Fei nodded. He had experienced such a situation too many times. Lin Fei thought that he had lost the mood at the beginning of his career, but now he seems to have returned to the first years.

"Bad boy, you won't play the last eight seconds, will you?"

This was a once extremely familiar voice, and Lin Fei was surprised and surprised.

Wilt. Chamberlain and Paul. Alijin and several people actually appeared in his mind again after ten years.

"Of course!"

Lin Fei's confident smile made Chamberlain and the others see the 18-year-old Lin.

There are still eight seconds left. These eight seconds determine the suspense of the final ownership of this year's championship and whether Lin Fei can draw a legendary end to his almost perfect career.

Luther stood on the sideline and prepared to serve. This rookie, who had only been in the league for three years, slowly grew up from the low line of the 30th in the first round to the future outside defense of the Clippers. Luther looked at Lin Fei and was very grateful to Lin Fei for his teachings. He still remembered that. When I was in the downturn, I remembered that Lin Fei blew up mercilessly.

With the referee's whistle, all the members of the Clippers moved according to the pre-arrangement, but everyone knows who the ball will be handed over in the end. The Clippers always has only one answer - LIN!

Clippers center new generation center Megates pushed his defending player and ran to the outside line.

Lin Fei also ran to the place where Majortus was about to reach, and Luther sent the ball out.

Lin Fei made a mistake and did not catch the ball, but made a mistake with Mejietes. Mejietes received Luther's serve and did not let the ball stay in his hand.

Lin Fei, who staggered with

and Majortus, turned back and ran back to catch the pass.

"Lin, the only answer for Clippers!" Barkley's voice also returned to more than a decade ago.

45 degrees outside the three-point line, the last seven seconds!

Andre, the new generation leader of Boston Celtics. Davis opened his arms and forced him to come up.

Davis has been in the league for ten years. He has faced Lin Fei countless times. He knows Lin Fei's strength. Even if Lin Fei is about to retire, he dares not relax. Davis has a 100% spirit.

"I must keep this ball!" Davis said against Lin Fei's ear.

Lin Fei put his left shoulder against Davis' chest and estimated the time.

With a strong impact on the side, Davis retreated slightly, and his left foot leaned on the axis of Davis and quickly turned around.

Davis moved his footsteps quickly, and his open arms tried to continue to block Lin Fei. There was less and less time before the end of the game.

Lin Fei, who pulled the ball and turned around, did not turn, but pulled the ball back. The ball was ready to forcibly overtake with a wave of his right hand and left arm.

Davis gritted his teeth and retreated. He knew that time was running out and he just needed to work harder.

It was at this time that Lin Fei, who cut into the three-point line, crossed the ball through ** with his right wrist, and withdrew with his left foot. In an instant, Lin Fei formed a large gap with Davis, who was defending him.

Jump, shoot!

Under the gaze of Davis, Lin Fei is getting farther and farther away from Davis. Lin Fei's body unfolds perfectly in the air, and the time of beating on the timer has entered the last 2 seconds.

The basket is far away, and in 2 seconds, he will be far away from the NBA, where he has been struggling for 18 years.

He gently moved his fingers and left the palm of his hand with the confident ball. The orange basketball just jumped over Davis' fingers. Under the gaze of more than 40,000 fans at the Staples scene, the basketball flew along the established trajectory to the basket!

Looking at the rising ball in the air, Lin Fei's eyes were full of the epitome of 18 years.

The first goal, the first start, the first kill, the first championship...

Slowly falling, Lin Fei under the spotlight is the center of the whole world at this moment.

The moment he landed, Lin Fei closed his eyes and slowly took down the shooting hand.

As the basketball drilled through the Nets, it caused a white wave, which was still as white as 18 years ago.

The red light turned on, Davis lowered his head, and he still lost. He hasn't won even once in ten years.

"Stay!"

"Please stay!"

"Lin, Staples, your eternal home!"

......

Staples didn't cheer much and didn't have much joy.

"Answer, the eternal Staples answer, he is a legend, a perfect legend!" Kenny. Smith said in a low voice.

The sound of the whole field penetrated into Lin Fei's ears. Lin Fei, who closed his eyes, felt tears flowing from the corners of his eyes. He squeezed his lips and Lin Fei opened his eyes and looked at the fans all over the field.

Staples Center fell into silence for the first time in 18 years. When there was a forest, the cheers here never stopped, and the rows of familiar figures behind the bench.

Lift the jersey and kiss the Clippers LOGO on your chest affectionately.

Looking at the fans, he bent down and bowed, "Thank you!"

Lin Fei's teammate and coach, no one gathered around to celebrate. They all looked at Lin Fei quietly. This is Lin Fei's moment alone.

Lin Fei lowered his head in the sound of the audience, and the tears in the corners of his eyes flowed out again, and he could no longer suppress it, step by step.

Dip!

Dip!

I don't know whether it was sweat or tears dripping on the Staples floor. Slowly, Lin Fei's figure disappeared into the player channel, and Lin Fei also officially walked to the end of his whole career.

The big screen above Staples replays the Clippers collection of Lin Fei in the past 18 years.

Lin Fei's shot, Lin Fei's dunk, Lin Fei's assist, Lin Fei's steal, Lin Fei's passing, Lin Fei's final kill... Finally, Lin Fei brought the replay of the eleven championship moments to the Clippers. Finally, the camera on the big screen stayed in Lin Fei's young face when he first came to the Clippers.

The once young face was completely far away from the battlefield he had fought for under the knife of 18 years.

"This is the end of an era. The 18-year-old crazy forest has really entered history. It began with the complete end of the Clipper Forest era in 2009. Maybe you will be glad that the dark clouds covering your head have dissipated. Maybe you will regret his departure. Maybe you will miss his son, and you have to say the madness that melted in his blood. It will completely disappear. The crazy legend starts here and ends here..." Kenny. Smith's voice shocked everyone.

Staples played the classic song "WHENYOUAREGONE" sung by Lavigne 20 years ago!

Lin - He is the eternal captain of the aircraft carrier Los Angeles. He is going crazy and farther away. The time of the captain of the Los Angeles, who once belonged to Lin Fei, will not pass away with the years, but will only be often remembered with the years.

(The whole book is over!)
