Chapter 19: Bruce Bowen's "Exclusive" Defense

Thank you Haoyu Dashao, Porphyry Lost Qu You, and My Dream Dust for your rewarding support! The first update is here!

-- Lin Fei did a lot of defensive work on Bruce Bowen before the game, whether it was the observation on the best scout scope or the analysis of the scouting report, but when he faced it head-on, he could still feel a lot of pressure.

Lin Fei has long heard the phrase Bowen is the touchstone of the league's top forwards, and his defense also represents a kind of height in the league, so Lin Fei hopes that he will prove that he is real gold again after passing the Bruce Bowen test.

As soon as Lin Fei's three-threat action was put away, Bruce Bowen pasted it up, like a piece of kraft candy sticking to him, making him extremely uncomfortable, Lin Fei had also felt all kinds of close defense before, but Bruce Bowen was unique, and the hidden small movements were like waves of tides, and time did not allow him to hesitate.

Lin Fei hit his back, and the thin Bruce Bowen was obviously knocked out of a small position, and when Lin Fei grabbed this advantage and turned around directly, Bowen actually appeared in front of him again, which made Lin Fei very surprised, this is when he remembered that the scouting report said that Bowen has super foot movement and confrontation ability, Lin Fei can only pass the ball helplessly.

In the end, Carman's shot stumbled into the basket, making the score 2:2, but Lin Fei was very embarrassed in the face of Bruce Bowen's defensive pressure, which made Clippers fans very worried, and Spurs fans loudly sarcastic Lin Fei's offense.

Bill Wharton put his hand on the headset: "Bruce Bowen's defense is the top in the league, Lin Fei is still a first-year rookie, it is normal to face an offensive situation that he is not used to or even unable to open up for the first time, but what he needs is to maintain his confidence, and not lose confidence because of one or several offensive ends." ”

Hoffman said with a smile: "Yes, there is no doubt that this is an ironclad fact, so many famous players will play seriously incorrectly in the face of Bruce's defense, not to mention Lin, I hope Lin can show his strength next." ”

After several attacks on both sides, Lin Fei once again chose to attack with the ball, Lin Fei knew that if he blindly avoided Bruce Bowen's defense, he would never make greater progress, so he chose to attack with the ball again.

"Rookie, are you sure you won't choose to dodge like a frightened chick this time?" Bruce Bowen looked at Lin Fei in front of him and said in a sinister tone.

Lin Fei didn't reply but looked at it seriously and carefully replayed his pre-game training for his surname, but it turned out that the effect was not good, but Lin Fei found that his back singles would have a certain effect, but the Spurs didn't give Lin Fei too much time to choose his back attack, Lin Fei could only choose to pass the ball again, and Livingston's shot was directly taken off by Duncan.

"Rookie, do you know how good Bruce is? Let's go back to Los Angeles! ”

"You're going to score less than ten, tonight is your nightmare!"

"Rookie, your offense is just a joke!"

…… All kinds of boos in the a&t center drilled into Lin Fei's ears, although he had long been accustomed to away boos, and now in the case of weakness on the offensive end, the power of these boos was also many times greater, and in the next attack Lin Fei chose to hold the ball and single Bruce Bowen again as if he didn't believe it, and finally chose to turn around and jump directly after the back hit, so that the unguaranteed shot finally slipped out of the frame, in exchange for another wave of huge boos.

And Lin Fei, who is not yet twenty years old, is like trying his best to prove himself, and he has chosen to single Bruce Bowen several times in a row, which is completely different from Lin Fei who kept calm at all times, and the impulsive result is obvious, Lin Fei only made 2 of 7 shots in the first eight minutes of playing time, and only 1 of 5 shots under Bowen's defense, which is undoubtedly quite ironic for Lin Fei, who has a shooting rate of 60% in the season, and Clippers fans in front of the TV have questioned Lin Fei.

Lin Fei on the bench draped a big towel over his head, and after leaving the court, his mind began to calm down and carefully reflect on his behavior. Soon she realized her mistake, raised her head and the big screen was a dazzling 15:28, the first quarter played ten minutes, the Clippers scored only fifteen points, Lin Fei knew that this was the result of him, although coach Dunleavy did not blame but Lin Fei felt that he should recognize the mistake.

"Lin is still young or everything he's been through has been very smooth, and I don't think he's been so impulsive a lot, like when he first faced Richard Jefferson in New Jersey, but that time he played a perfect game in the second half, and this time I don't know if he can reflect on himself."

"Bill, you're right, no player can play well in every game, there will always be times when they are difficult to cope, good players will know how to adjust themselves, hopefully Lin can do that." Hoffman agrees with Bill Wharton.

When the first quarter ended, the Clippers trailed the Spurs at home by a score of 19-34.

"Head, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit like that." Lin Fei looked at Dunleavy in front of him and said.

Mike Dunleavy was slightly taken aback and smiled, "You should tell your teammates, but since you know you shouldn't, I believe you should know how to fight!" Saying that, Dunleavy patted Lin Fei's shoulder, and Sam Kassel, the oldest member of the team, also patted Lin Fei's shoulder, "Look at you below, I don't want you to be so stubborn, pay attention to cooperation, that old guy can't keep up with your speed, I can guarantee this, so what you need to do is very simple, is to catch the ball and shoot!" ”

"Yes, catch and shoot!" Lin Fei looked at his teammates around him and said it word by word!

The appearance of the Spurs' bench was seen by Bill Wharton: "The situation on the Clippers' bench looks good, I think they must have forgiven Lin's impulsiveness and even found a good way!" ”

Lin Fei appeared at the beginning of the second quarter, and ** Vicky immediately sent Bowen, in his opinion, this is a gift carefully prepared for Lin Fei, a super rookie.

Bowen immediately posted it on Lin Fei: "Rookie, is your heart really that big?" Looks like I'm not defending you well enough. ”

Lin Fei still didn't answer, but glanced at his teammates' positions, "I don't need to hold the ball, I just need to run!" With a low roar in his heart, Lin Fei's upper body suddenly shook.

This shaking also made Bowen nervous, he knew that this rookie's running position was very powerful, and he didn't try it in the first quarter, but as a defensive expert, he would carefully and deeply study the players who needed to defend, and Lin Fei's running position made him a little worried.

Lin Fei shook his upper body again, Bowen didn't act immediately, in his opinion, it was probably the same feint as the one just now, and he muttered in his mind, "I won't eat and shake, I won't eat and shake!" ”

Just when he kept chattering in his mind, the direction of Lin Fei's right leg and the shaking of his upper body were completely different, Bowen was obviously stunned, and Lin Fei had already thrown him away temporarily, Bowen scolded secretly and immediately chased after him.

Facing Manu, who was making up for the defense, Lin Fei changed direction and not only deceived Ginobili, but also deceived Bruce Bowen, who was chasing behind him.

"Beautiful positioning, this is Lin's positioning!" Bill Wharton couldn't help but exclaim, and the Clippers fans in front of the TV also showed a reassuring smile, because this was Lin Fei they were familiar with.

Finally threw the difficult defensive expert Bruce Bowen and the Spurs' assistant defense behind him one by one, and ran directly to the bottom left corner of the three-point line, while Cassel at the top of the arc did not let the basketball in his hand stay, and with a flick of his wrist, the basketball crossed an arc in the air and went straight to the bottom corner of the left three-point corner.

After receiving the pass steadily, Lin Fei jumped up without the slightest hesitation, looking at the basket in the distance and making a move.

The huge boos in the center of A&T interfered with Lin Fei's shooting, and the basketball fell into the basket with a huge boo.

Landing looked at the somewhat annoyed Bruce Bowen, pursed his lips lightly, and his eyebrows were full of provocations to Bruce Bowen.

The ** vic on the sidelines frowned and roared loudly.

"This is the right way to attack, if James's bulldozer layup is unsolvable, then Lin's post-run shooting is even more unsolvable!" Bill Wharton directly gave Lin Fei a huge compliment.

Ginobili, who led the second team, shot iron, and Lin Fei protected the backcourt rebound and immediately handed it to Cassel, and he ran quickly to the front court, while Bruce Bowen posted it on Lin Fei just after half court.

"Rookie, you'd better be careful, I won't give you such a good chance to shoot again. I swear by Bruce's name. ”

"If you were ten years younger, I would seriously consider your words!" Lin Fei shot back unceremoniously, and with the words, Lin Fei immediately ran out, and Bruce Bowen chased after him as he did just now.

Hoffman looked at the situation on the field and immediately shouted: "Lin, run out of the empty seat again, chance!" ”

Kassel once again passed the basketball in his hand to Lin Fei for the first time.

Lin Fei caught this just right pass steadily, and jumped out without hesitation.

"Be careful!"

Cassel's voice drilled into Lin Fei's ears, and at this time, the basketball had already been shot, and Lin Fei faintly saw Bruce Bowen chasing after him.

The basketball got into the basket without any suspense, narrowing the difference to nine points, but at this time, Lin Fei, who landed on the ground, felt that his left foot stepped on something, and suddenly heard a click of his ankle, and the pain immediately eroded Lin Fei's whole body, and the whole person lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Lin Fei covered his left ankle in pain, and his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.

"You're murder!"

Lin Fei vaguely heard an angry roar, as if it was Chandler's, and then saw Bowen, who was innocent with his hands raised, being pushed out fiercely.

"Lin, how are you feeling?" Kassel squatted down, his eyes were full of concern, the team doctor immediately entered the court at the referee's signal, Lin Fei stood up with the support of his teammates, but his left leg was still curled up so as not to touch the ground with his left foot.

Soon Lin Fei was helped into the locker room for treatment.

"That's what's annoying about Bruce, it's Bruce's exclusive defense, I don't even know what to say when I look at him with an innocent look, I can only say that young Lin has become another innocent under his defense." Bill Wharton's words were filled with helplessness.
