Chapter 156: The One Who Forever Makes His Opponent Restless
At this time, the Warriors players unconsciously remembered last year, and at this time last year, what kind of lineup was it! Now, it's like this! It seems that no team can win this opponent of time!
At that time, the Warriors were so majestic, with 73 wins in the regular season and all the way to the finals in the playoffs, which was very neat. But now?
As the saying goes, the flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year! Maybe that's the truth!
Everyone unconsciously walked towards Lin Fei! Keynes too!
Such a group of gentlemen actually began to hug on the court!
There are a lot of united teams in the league, but most of them are extremely disciplined teams, such as the Spurs, and there are very few teams like the Warriors who are extremely loose but unprecedentedly united!
For the Warriors, Lin Fei's return is a great benefit, but for the Clippers, it is undoubtedly a tragedy!
In the last game, Lin Fei and Jobs were both injured, and the Clippers finally breathed a bad breath and won heartily! And full of hope, it can achieve a Jedi turnaround. Now, Lin Fei's return, the Clippers are of course extremely shocked. Naturally, they don't understand what kind of medicine is sold in the Warriors' gourd, how can they say that they will be absent for a while, and they will be able to play again after a while! For such an open-mouthed opponent as this Warriors, true and false, false and real, it is really a headache, and what they do off the court may be more confusing than their situation on the court!
For a player like Lin Fei, it has never been possible to imagine according to common sense! He basically has no adjustment period. Play at any time, you can score points directly, and the player with the strongest instant ability and the strongest key ball ability in the league. Definitely not blown out! Perhaps, the Clippers can only pray that Lin Fei's next three games will be at a low ebb at this time!
But will there be three more games?
At least in the eyes of the experts, there will be no more than three games! Even without Jobs, the Warriors' bench lineup has a force to be reckoned with!
When the whole world is still talking about Lin Fei's miracle! The fifth race is already here!
When Lin Fei arrived in the city of Los Angeles, he actually brought panic to the city! Why? Just because the Warriors could very well be the finishers for both teams in the city!
The total score of the Lakers and the Thunder is already 2:2! If the Warriors win against the Clippers, the next opponent in the Western Conference Finals is most likely the Lakers!
If, of course, this is if. The Warriors were able to take out the Los Angeles duo, which is undoubtedly the biggest tragedy in the city!
When the players were introduced, the Warriors came out with a player who booed wildly, but it was Lin Fei's turn. It's not easy, and there is a lot of applause! It seems that Lin Fei's return has won respect!
D'Antoni also had to consider the fitness of his players at this time due to a large number of injuries. Therefore, it is particularly important to control the playing time of each player!
Lin Fei still didn't! D'Antoni still uses a two-point guard lineup, with Curry and Smith playing the main guard line, while the small forward is still Aix, and the power forward is Cook. The center is still Clauderson, of course! Supposedly, this kind of lineup can actually compete with many ordinary teams in the league. What they lack, I am afraid, is the depth of the bench, which is the sustained attacking power that Nelson Sr. emphasized. Now that Lin Fei is back crazy, the attack power on the bench is definitely something that no team dares to ignore!
The Clippers have not changed anything, perhaps because of their big win in the last game, and the morale is relatively high. …,
At this time, everyone knew in their hearts that Jobs's 20 points and 10 rebounds were not lacking in vain! The Warriors didn't have anyone who could fill the void of Jobs!
Opening! Clauderson and Andre Jordan fight for the ball! In the current Warriors lineup, the most tired is probably Clauderson! After all, he is the oldest in the current lineup, and the pressure on the Warriors' interior is extraordinarily large, and his defensive pressure can be said to be the largest in the current lineup, which must be natural for him! Maybe that's the case, in the next game, Cook may also have to make a cameo as a center forward.
The Clippers get the ball first! Quickly pass the ball to Paul.
Paul clearly didn't have a lot of fun in the last game! Because although he won the last game, there was no Lin Fei, so he didn't "play" very much! In this game, all Paul was thinking about was to win in front of Lin Fei!
It was Smith who was following Paul at this time! Paul reached the front court directly with three steps and two steps, and then easily avoided Smith with a change of direction that almost did not stop, and was already standing outside the three-point line at this time!
Why does Paul's movements seem so much more free-flowing? Lin Fei could slightly feel that there seemed to be something change in Paul!
And the next situation just proved Lin Fei's idea, Paul jumped up directly and shot directly against the three-point line!
Hit! Paul? Are you sure it's not Lin Fei? If the range is dragged back a little, people really can't believe that this ball was played by Paul, and the opening is more or less "reckless", in the league, there are not many people who play like this, and Lin Fei is one of the few of them!
For such a Paul, the Warriors don't seem to know much! As a pass-type defender, except for some key moments when Paul will play like this, he is rarely used at other times!
After scoring the goal, Paul didn't even forget to look back at Lin Fei, it seemed that he had a bit of a declaration of war!
For such a provocative look, Lin Fei just smiled slightly, and even had a little tenderness!
Warriors Attack! At this time, the Warriors already have Lin Fei as a backup, and their offense can be completely released!
The duo of Curry and Smith was actually quite powerful before, but they didn't play much in the last game, especially Smith, whose proud ability to impact the basket was only 2 of 8 shots in the last game. Extremely miserable, will he be able to regain his form in this game?
The results were soon revealed again, Lin Fei was on the sidelines, and the offensive rhythm of the Warriors was crazy! Curry passed the ball directly to Smith. At the same time, Curry is also running forward like crazy.
The dribbling skills of this group of players of the Warriors are still quite passable, Smith ran forward directly and quickly, when Paul was in front of Smith, Smith did not hesitate to pass the ball back to Curry, and Paul's vision naturally followed the ball to Curry's hands, Smith took the opportunity to "pass" Paul, and easily reached the three-point line without the ball! It's fast, and it's perfectly in line with the Warriors' fast style!
Curry's catch, of course, was also temporary. Seeing that Smith reached the closest position to the basket so quickly, Curry naturally passed the ball back to Smith, that is, Curry purely acted as a wall. Bounce the ball naturally to Smith!
At this time, Smith received the ball from Curry's return pass, and his heart was happy, at this time, there was only one person in the Clippers basket in time, for a player like Smith, there are few players in the league who can defend him in a one-on-one situation!
Smith didn't stop to get to the basket. At this time, it was Willie Green who was under the basket, and in the face of Smith's attack, he was obviously still a little flustered and didn't know how to start. Smith took a fancy to this and took a quick step. Hit the basket with an easy right hand! …,
At this time, the Warriors' Clauderson and Cook were even in the midfield position!
Is this a safe way of playing? After all. In this way, the Warriors seem to be two and a half people participating in the offense, one Smith and one Curry, and Aix is just waiting for the opportunity, so it can only be regarded as half!
Maybe at this juncture in the game, it may not matter how you play, the important thing is to be able to score and win the game! Anyway, the Warriors don't know how many games they've won!
Smith's goal directly made Lin Fei and the Warriors' last bench players jump! Smith's opening goal was really beautiful! This one goal seems to be bullish, and Smith seems to have shaken off the slump of the previous game!
Each pair will have an x-factor! This factor is definitely not the star of the team, but he will also directly affect the strength of the team and the direction of the game! There are many players who have proven in previous games that they can successfully become the X-factor of the Warriors, and now in the lineup, except for Lin Fei, everyone is possible! Perhaps a good thank you to Nelson Sr., because he had done it a long time ago!
It's a good start, but for the Clippers, a goal like the Warriors certainly makes them want to be 200 percent in spirit!
It was Paul who took the ball and launched a fast attack directly, and after reaching the frontcourt, the speed slowed down slightly, and Griffin and Andre Jordan squeezed directly inside. Paul pretended to break through on the outside, and suddenly jumped up violently, do you still want to shoot? Everyone couldn't believe it, after all, Paul was not Lin Fei!
However, everyone looked over and saw that Griffin had managed to bypass Cook and cut straight to the basket. Paul jumped up and faked the real pass, and directly stuffed the ball into Griffin's hand, Griffin's momentum was very powerful, and after a half-turn, he jumped directly, facing the basket is a dunk formation!
No one wants to be the background of a fierce dunk like Griffin, but Clauderson doesn't seem to care about this, and jumps straight to try to block Griffin's dunk!
However, Clauderson's jump clearly did nothing! Griffin's powerful impact directly knocked Clauderson to the ground, and at the same time dunked the ball into the basket! There is also a chance to add a penalty!
The fans in the stadium were like crazy, and among the Clippers, there was no better goal than Griffin's dunk! This slam dunk just confirms that!
Griffin misses free throw! Clauderson picked up the rebound, and he didn't seem to be affected by Griffin's dunk, and quickly passed the ball to Smith again!
Smith is running fast again! Curry quickly followed up again, could it be that the two of them once again staged their classic cross-transposition combination?
Although the Clippers' defense is not as tight as the Spurs, they still have some players with good defensive awareness, such as Paul, Crawford, Jordan, and Billups!
They've seen Curry and Smith work together just now, so they seem to be ready for it this time. Their approach is very clear, just strangle one of them, don't let the ball go, and let the other one hold the ball alone. And whether it is Curry or Smith, they may not have the ability to score points like Lin Fei!
Paul followed Curry, who was running without the ball, and Smith had no choice but to force himself to make a layup!
However, because the defense just now was relatively in place, the defense was basically in place at this time, and Smith was surrounded by a wall of people when he hit the basket. I finally dodged the defender's block, but the ball could only hit the rebound! …,
The Clippers grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break again, and the Warriors couldn't parry. Watching the Clippers dunk again!
Sometimes it's interconnected on the offensive end and on the defensive end! If the offensive end is not smooth, it will directly affect the quality of the defensive end! Isn't that what the Warriors are like right now? If you can't open on the offensive end, you won't find a direction on the defensive end at all!
Although Lin Fei didn't see what the last game was like, he could roughly imagine that it was basically the opening game. Then Smith's form slipped and Curry was only able to play his role on the team, and then you can imagine what Curry was like when he played his role, obsessed with shooting. But the timing of the shot and the speed of the shot, Curry obviously can't grasp it. A lot of shots are relatively reluctant, and naturally there is no guarantee of the team's victory! Meantime. Because of the lack of Jobs on the wing, Aix can only stand up to the team's interior offense and hit the basket again and again, so the scoring is okay, but the team can't win after all. None of the scores exceeded 100, which is perhaps the best example!
D'Antoni actually didn't see the problem, he didn't have a way to solve it, it can be said that such a problem is a congenital defect in the Warriors' lineup!
The game has just begun, but the situation is already clear!
The Clippers relied on the depth of their team's bench, and these players on the court actually played fast with the Warriors, and practiced a physical attrition war with the Warriors, and had a certain advantage!
By the end of the half-quarter, the Clippers had an eight-point lead!
This point difference is indeed quite large, but as long as Lin Fei is here, this is obviously within the acceptable range of the Warriors!
D'Antoni pauses! Replace Clauderson, Aix, Smith! Replaced by Lin Fei and two other substitute players who are basically playing soy sauce, in fact, they still play from time to time under the old Nelson, but under D'Antoni, they are reduced to playing soy sauce, if it is not confirmed in the playoffs, they don't even have the opportunity to play soy sauce!
Lin Fei came on the court, and the offensive core of the Warriors was immediately clear! The whole lineup seems to have a new look! Lin Fei and Curry's dual-core drive, do the Clippers still dare to fight for speed?
The Clippers responded to replace Crawford and Billups on the court! The reason why the Clippers dare to let those main players compete with the Warriors and play fast is undoubtedly because they have these players on the bench!
The Clippers have a lot of powerful people, but there is absolutely no one like Lin Fei!
Lin Fei came on the court, exceptionally "low-key", the Warriors kicked off, Lin Fei just ran slowly to the frontcourt!
This has happened many times, but this is obviously a disguise, and the final attack will definitely start from Lin Fei!
At this time, it was Crawford who defended Lin Fei, and the reason why Billups was not defending was that he was afraid that Billups was too slow, and his height advantage was not too obvious, so he couldn't prevent it at all, so he directly used Crawford! Although it is not much faster than Lin Fei, it still has a certain advantage in terms of height!
Curry seems to have a big boost in confidence because of Lin Fei's play! Dribble to the midfield and take a step forward at the top of the arc to organize the attack!
Lin Fei is still very low-key! Didn't even take the initiative to catch the ball!
At this time, the Clippers thought about it, was Lin Fei injured? Why are you so inactive? But after thinking about it, the Warriors have always had a lot of intrigues, didn't Lin Fei play in the fourth quarter of the third game? In the end, he killed himself so rampantly! The current situation of the Clippers is that they would rather defend against thousands of people by mistake than let Lin Fei fall into the net!
Lin Fei suddenly ran back! ran directly to the backcourt, and almost at the same time, Curry started to accelerate and break through, oh no, Lin Fei wanted to catch the ball. Crawford hurriedly caught up, and a defensive guard like Billups is obviously the kind of player who likes to look in all directions and listen to all directions, he directly observed the synchronization of Lin Fei and Curry's actions, and directly made a judgment, Lin Fei received the ball, and he should probably block Curry's passing line!
But Billups just moved half a step away, and Curry directly and firmly killed Billups! Lin Fei didn't know if he was ready to catch the ball when he ran just now, but Curry didn't pass the ball at all!
Curry, who stepped into Billups, was naturally a flat horse in front of him, jumped up directly, and opened his hand to hit a mid-range shot!
That's how the Warriors play? Lin Fei went up, and almost all the players on the Clippers team looked at Lin Fei unconsciously! It just so happened that the Warriors took advantage of this very well, allowing Curry to break through resolutely, and then hit a shot!
After the goal, Curry ran back a few steps directly and high-fived Lin Fei to celebrate! And Billups, who made a mistake in defense, just patted his head and regretted that he shouldn't have lost his position! (To be continued......)
