Chapter 31: The Final Fate of the Clippers!

When the protagonists of the scandal began to keep silent, slowly this wave of scandals that attracted the whole United States gradually faded, and the Clippers continued their journey, Lin Fei met with the mysterious boss in Los Angeles, really a Chinese, the two sides talked, Lin Fei was very satisfied with his boss, and the boss promised him a lot of things, but Lin Fei knew that these promises were undoubtedly under the situation that he fully demonstrated, after all, this is a business-first alliance, If he doesn't play well, then these promises will be empty words, so his own strength is the most important thing.

Lin Fei, who still has thoughts about the playoffs in his heart, will not give up his efforts, as soon as he enters the game period in mid-March, it will be the sprint period of the league's teams, of course, there are also many teams that have entered the sprint period, such as the Timberwolves and the Bobcats, the first favorite is undoubtedly the Miami Heat, and the Clippers, who were originally aiming for the penultimate place in the West, began to rush to the end after getting Lin Fei, the Knicks' hearts are dripping blood, and the draft picks that originally thought they were of high value are depreciating at a terrifying rate.

After leaving Dallas, Lin Fei once again led the Clippers to five consecutive wins. Further improving the team's record, he has moved away from the pendulum zone, and further improved his ranking in the West, Lin Fei was elected the Most Valuable Player of the Western Conference for the second time with an average of 26.4 points, 5.6 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game.

At first, people were unfamiliar with the Clippers with Lin Fei's crazy seven-game winning streak, but after the defeat in Houston, the Clippers surprised everyone again, surprised how this seemingly weak team produced such a big fighting power, is it because of a Lin Fei?

When the Clippers, who had won six in a row, came to Detroit again, Prince, who had perfectly blocked Lin Fei at halftime, fell completely this time, and the Detroiters were as decaying as the Motor City, and the once majestic Iverson sat on the bench of the Auburn Hills Palace with empty eyes and watched the game, and the once crazy Auburn Hills Palace fell.

110:98, the difference is only twelve points, but it can't be said that this game is intense, because the entire fourth quarter of the Clippers relied on the bench to play on the court, and the Clippers widened the difference to 26 points in the first three quarters, so the whole quarter of the fourth quarter was garbage time! Seven Clippers scored in double figures, with even coolie Powell scoring 16 points, while Shaun Livingston dished out a career-high 16 assists.

Lin Fei only contributed 19 points, and he made a career-low number of shots only five times, but hit three of them, while creating a new low Lin Fei created a career high of 11 free throws, and Prince made five tragic fouls in the first three quarters, all of which were completed in just over 20 minutes of playing time.

Lin Fei also handed out 10 assists by the way, and in this game, Lin Fei repeatedly shot with a false shot and then deceived the foul or attracted the bag to pass to the empty space.

Poor Prince was given high hopes by Sanders before the game, hoping to successfully defend against Lin Fei, which turned out to be full of tragedy, and the passing and cheating fouls made Lin Fei find a new fun.

After the game, the whole world was laughing at Sanders for saying that he would win, and the result was humiliated, and it is said that after this game, the Pistons owner and Sanders met, and the rumors asked the Pistons to reach the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs, otherwise he would be fired, as for the truth of the rumors, it is not known, but everyone knows that Sanders' life in the Pistons is coming to an end.

What made the gossip media even more interesting was that Scarlett Johansson accompanied Lin Fei to Detroit and then to Milwaukee.

120:101, this is the score displayed on the big screen, the Clippers are in front of the Bucks in the back, this game known as the derby is another one-sided slaughter, Yi Jianlian returned from injury and the starting lineup has no place for him, the hairless hero Villanueva stood steadily in the starter, and Yi Jianlian came off the bench and only got 6 points and 3 rebounds, Lin Fei got 30 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds, and in the second quarter with the Bucks 6 minutes and 40 seconds, Lin Fei hit a three-point shot from the outside, Officially tied the rookie single-season three-point shooting record, and only thirty seconds later, Lin Fei suddenly fired more than a meter away from the three-point line to officially write his rookie season three-point shooting record on his name, instead of sharing this honor with others, and this game is just the 64th game Lin Fei has participated in, Lin Fei has completed the record, which is enough to see the ferocity of Lin Fei's three-point firepower.

The Clippers are riding a three-game winning streak to Indiana Consecco Arena to face the re-emerging Pacers, while the Pacers are in ninth place in the East and only a small halftime gap behind the eighth-place Atlanta Hawks, and the Hawks need to face the Boston Celtics, the Big Three, on the same day, and they are facing the Clippers, so the Pacers are full of strength.

Two hours later, the Conseco Arena was silent, Lin Fei stood in front of the technical table with his head held high his three-point celebration gesture, more than 20,000 people looked at Lin Fei like this, and the Pacers, who were one point behind in the final moments of the game, still had 4 seconds to create a chance to kill, but Lin Fei, who had just completed the overtaking jump shot, poked the ball out one second before the basketball reached Granger's palm, and used his speed to shake off Granger who was trying to foul to complete a whistle three-pointer. 101:97, this is the final score, and this game Scarlett is still sitting on the sidelines, when Lin Fei completed the shot that overtook the score, she did not hide her love for Lin Fei at all, and boldly sent a flying kiss, this scene murdered too many films.

The Clippers improved their record to 24-41, leaving the Clippers in 12th place in the West and a full eight games behind the 36-29 Golden State Warriors in eighth place in the West. With the remaining 17 games, the miracle of qualifying for the playoffs is almost impossible.

"Lin, what are the goals of the Clippers this season? Is it to devalue New York's draft picks? A white reporter stood up and asked.

"Is that what our goal is in your eyes?" Lin Fei looked at the white reporters in the audience of the press conference and raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Do the Clippers still want to make the playoffs??? There was a palpable display of disdain and even ridicule on the faces of white journalists.

"Is your goal to be a journalist forever?" Lin Fei asked sharply again.

"Rookie Lin's Fantasy - Playoffs" - this is an article written by the white reporter after the game, which unceremoniously satirizes Lin Fei's big words.

Such an article quickly got 95% of the people's approval, even Clippers fans can't believe that their Clippers can advance to the playoffs, in a wave of doubts, the Clippers returned home, sitting in Staples to face the Phoenix Suns, the fourth in the West, this season the Suns under the leadership of veteran Steve Nash still run their own running and bombardment, even if O'Neal joined, he did not change his style of play, and O'Neal also showed a high level, After joining the Suns, he still averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds per game.

Stoudmayre + O'Neal, such an interior combination is powerful just by looking at the names of these two people, and this is exactly the case, Xiaosi contributed 33 points and 6 rebounds, O'Neal 24 points and 12 rebounds, and the Clippers' center Chris Carman is much more pitiful in comparison, only 14 points and 14 rebounds, and the shooting rate is only a pitiful 13 shots and 5 shots, in this case, even if Lin Fei broke all the defenders of the Suns and sent 11 three-pointers, But Lin Fei missed the most important three-pointer in the last moment, but no one blamed Lin Fei, because he had done well enough, he contributed 44 points in the game, he had no way to save the team, and the Staples Center was silent, with a 3-point gap, and they were only 3 points away from victory. Everyone saw the weakness of the Clippers' roster.

There is only one Carman on the inside, and although Josh Powell is diligent enough, he can't hide the gap in his strength, except that the Clippers don't even have any backup on the inside, even if they only have coolies for defense. The back line is even more aged, and the young Livingston has also worn out his talent after several major injuries, and Lin Fei has carried such a team on his own.

"Lin, will you see the reality and adjust your goals for the season? Like a rookie of the best? The white reporter who asked questions in Indiana was once again present at the game's post-game press conference.

"No!" Lin Fei coldly dropped a sentence and left the press conference, and soon Lin Fei received a $2,000 penalty notice from the league.

Facing Reality, Surrender or Fight? This is the headline of ESPN's star Erin Andrews: Everyone can see how good the super rookie Lin is, despite the defeat, he will still choose to fight with his head held high instead of bowing his head to accept, almost everyone is laughing at his goal, but how many people see the persistence of a young man, we need such a spirit, not to stifle.

Andrews's article once again caused a wave of ridicule and scandals, and in the eyes of most people, this was just her defense of her little lover Lin Fei.

“why? Erin is our friend, she knows what kind of person Lin is, I agree with her, Lin will not choose to give up, I will accompany him to fight until the last moment! This is what Scarlett said in an interview, and the truth is as she said, in the next game, Scarlett sat on the sidelines and cheered for Lin Fei in every game.

And the Clippers also burst out of huge energy, with five games left in the regular season, the difference between the eighth win in the West and the eighth in the West narrowed to 2 games, at this time many media chanted that this is the power of love, and Lin Fei still did not dare to relax, although he was already exhausted, in these eleven games Lin Fei played an average of 40 minutes per game, and contributed an average of 30 points per game The three-point shooting rate reached an astonishing 66%.

And the remaining five games will determine the ultimate fate of the Clippers!
