"Hold this ball!" Lin Fei, who quickly landed in the backcourt, opened his arms and yelled at the Lakers players who ran towards the halfcourt with sharp eyes.

Lin Fei's idea of eliminating the Lakers has never been so urgent.

"As long as Lin Fei is here, anything can happen." This is the truest thought in the hearts of the Clippers players, for the Clippers, Lin Fei is not only the core, not only a young leader, but also the most stable existence of the Clippers, just like the needle of the sea.

"Can you defend yourself?" Kobe Bryant looked coldly at Lin Fei, who yelled in the frontcourt.

Fisher quickly dribbled through the half court and tried to get the ball to Kobe, who was the most indispensable and trustworthy player for the Lakers, even if Kobe Bryant's first 100 shots were all iron.

However, Wilson. Chandler stared at Bryant closely, with Artest on the side, which dispelled Fisher's idea of passing the ball immediately.

It's understandably difficult to defend without a player, although Wilson. Chandler was still entangled by Kobe Bryant to get rid of the defense, and the opportunity was slightly inferior, Kobe just ran towards Fisher, which made Fisher not even want to even ignore the danger of the cross, and passed the ball directly.

Kobe Bryant ran towards the incoming ball, and at this time, a sudden change occurred.

Lin Fei, who was at the free throw line, jumped out of the free throw line like a cheetah, and the fast Kobe Bryant didn't even react.

Seeing Lin Fei's palm appear on the basketball route in advance, a look of surprise appeared on Fisher's face.

Syllable!

Lin Fei's palm made intimate contact with the ball.

"It's unbelievable that Lin Fei appeared in the last place the Lakers wanted." Barkley roared.

"Although the horizontal pass is dangerous, Derek's choice this time is not wrong, it's just that they underestimated Lin Fei's speed." Kenny. Smith said.

Just when Lin Fei copied the ball in his hand, it turned out that Wilson, who was defending Kobe. Chandler immediately ran quickly to the front.

Kobe Bryant blocked in front of Lin Fei for the first time so much that he ignored Chandler and ran to the frontcourt, which gave Wilson. Chandler's great opportunity.

"Wilson!" Lin Fei shouted, shook it hard, and immediately threw the ball to the front court.

Wilson. Chandler was at full throttle, and when the basketball bounced off the three-point line in the frontcourt, Chandler also rushed to the ball.

Picking up the ball, taking two big steps and a big step outside the three-second zone, the whole person flew to the basket, and then turned 180 degrees to smash the ball into the basket.

Charles. Barkley slapped the commentary bench without any scruples about Kenny. Smith's eyes roared: "Unexpected steals, wonderful 180-degree turns and dunks, what are the Lakers going to do to win the series." ”

However, for Kobe, how can such an attack break his psychological defense, Lin Fei's paranoid Clippers teammates know that Kobe's paranoia is known to the whole league, and Kobe, who has learned the lessons of the first two games, has made great progress in the face of the double bag, and will not be so passive that he will not be able to score at all.

But this is far from enough for the Lakers, Phil Jackson wants to see the Lakers in the lead, but the situation on the court is that the Lakers are in a passive situation, although the Clippers failed to open the difference, but the Lakers played very hard, which Phil Jackson did not want to see, although the game was less than five minutes old, but he had to call a timeout to adjust.

Honk!

The whistle blew.

"Phil asked for a long timeout and was not happy with the situation on the court, but in the first two games Mike Dunleavy showed great on-the-spot command ability, and every time Phil made a change, he could make a change today?" Kenny. Smith looked at the Lakers' bench.

"Bryant, Paul and Anzu have a chance to give them, only the whole can play the best role, we are already 0:2 down, no one wants to be 0:3 again, right? If I hope, then I can tell him he's leaving the Lakers this summer. "Phil. Jackson said coldly.

Phil. Jackson is undoubtedly directly asking Kobe Bryant to share the ball rather than indulging in singles unique.

"Derek, you don't pass the ball casually, you're the brains of the team, you need to play this role, let's focus on the inside and outside coordination......" Phil Jackson quickly drew on the tactical board.

Bryant, who was sitting in the chair, was silent, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel, panting rhythmically. Although the game lasted less than five minutes, Wilson. Chandler's entanglement with Artest occasionally appears in Lin Fei, which makes his physical strength depleted quickly.

"You guys did a great job!" Mike Dunleavy first encouraged the players, and for the players, the coach's proper encouragement and recognition can make the players play better.

"It's just the start of the game, it's still early, Phil. The reason why Jackson called this timeout is that he will definitely arrange our offensive defense, so the courtesy is still exchanged, I will give him a gift, Andre you replace Ron, Lin you go to Ron's position, Bryant hands over to you and Wilson, of course you are the assistant defense, the main defense or Wilson, once there is a chance to immediately wrap up the clamp do not hesitate, I estimate that they will use the inside line, Lamar you are familiar with them, you replace Rashid, the Spaniard will be handed over to you, Shaq, you replace Tyson to let that little shark know who the real shark is, on the offensive end we still focus on Lin, Andremi controls the tempo, Lamar pulls out the Spaniard to make the interior more empty......" Mike Dunleavy seized the time and quickly arranged.

"Guys, we have a good 2-0 situation, but this does not mean that we have a chance to qualify, even if we qualify we will have to face the test of the Western Conference Finals, what we want is the O'Brien Cup, not one or two wins, they will definitely fight for the victory, but we will definitely beat them, definitely!" Lin Fei stood up and threw the large towel on his shoulder on the floor fiercely.

"Definitely! We must be the last victors, come on! O'Neill said with his hand outstretched.

All hands folded together, "Victory!" Victory! A uniform shout echoed through the noisy Staples Arena.

"Can we win?" Sean turned his head to ask his companion in confusion.

"I don't know, Lin is so powerful, it's like they can't be stopped." Pickerd didn't feel like he had any confidence.

"If Lin hadn't gone well, we would have won many, many championships." Sean looked at Lin Fei, who was back on the court, and muttered to himself, the timeout ended quickly, and in the referee's whistle, the Clippers and Lakers players returned to the court.

Phil. Jackson couldn't help but sigh when he saw the Clippers' players.

"Sure enough, Mike changed the formation again, such a change of formation is definitely not easy for the Lakers to deal with, and even equivalent to a long timeout, I think there is no head coach who does not envy Mike, only he has the qualifications to make such a change, in the regular season and even in the first round of the playoffs in the past, we basically did not see many changes, but from this series of changes has become accustomed to the Clippers, which has undoubtedly become a headache for opponents, If there was plenty of time, I'm sure Phil would have practiced based on the Clippers' ability to change lineups, but there is simply no time for that right now, so I can only let the players play on the court. Barkley spoke to the hearts of the coaches in front of the television.

Fisher advanced with the ball at the back, Andre. Miller didn't interfere either, allowing Fisher to dribble past halftime before sticking up.

This time Fisher did not pass the ball to Kobe, but controlled the ball firmly at the top of the arc and then gestured, and a through plug sent the ball to Gasol's hands.

Gasol is tall and has long arms, well-rounded offensive skills, and although his style of play is not strong enough, his ability is enough to rank among the top post players.

Odom has been a teammate with Gasol for less than two years in the Lakers, and he knows Gasol's habits well, but he may not be able to block it clearly, after all, Gasol's height advantage is too obvious, and his offensive skills are comprehensive enough.

Gasol leaned on his former teammate Odom with the ball in one hand, his shoulders shook, and suddenly he turned around, and his left arm forced Odom to the inside, striding away as if ready for a breakthrough dunk.

O'Neal on the other side immediately took a step forward and stepped forward to block, Paul. Gasol saw O'Neal make up for the defense, and Odom lost his position and immediately ran to Bynum.

In the face of the Clippers' shift defense, Paul stopped his momentum suddenly, glanced out of the corner of his eye, flicked his left wrist, and the basketball bounced to the middle with a blow from his back.

It was Kobe Bryant who cut into the middle, Kobe Bryant shook off Artest's defense and burst into the interior before Lin Fei came up to help defend, received Gasol's pass, and jumped directly after taking a big step.

"Bang!"

A tomahawk buckle was soon born.

"Good pass, Paul!" Kobe Bryant gave a thumbs up to Gasol, who was passing the ball for himself.

Paul. Gasol smiled lightly, "Bryant, I don't want to lose either, it feels good to be a champion." ”

Kobe Bryant didn't expect Gasol, who has always been quiet on the court, to say such things.

"We will be the victors in the end." Accompanying the voice was Kobe Bryant's grim face.

Lin Fei didn't need to look back to know who the sharp eyes behind him were coming from, and with a faint smile, Lin Fei quickly ran to the front court.

Kobe Bryant didn't dare to be careless, and immediately chased after him quickly, he didn't want to be beaten by the Clippers as soon as he scored.

Fisher knew about Andre. Miller's interference and inability to break the ball would only be a waste of energy, so he simply stayed at the back and waited for Miller's arrival.

Kobe Bryant ran in front of Lin Fei for the first time, and there was Ariza coveting not far away.

"I'll keep attacking!" Lin Fei said lightly, it sounded like he was talking to himself, but Kobe knew what he meant, this was a naked provocation.

But Kobe Bryant was unmoved by Lin Fei's provocations, he needed to defend wholeheartedly, and he was simply not willing to spend time on other aspects.

"Andrey!" Lin Fei rushed at Andre, who had just dribbled past half court. Miller shouted, and immediately turned and ran towards Miller.

Kobe Bryant immediately got up and chased after him, but Lin Fei suddenly made a sudden stop and turned around, and immediately formed a spatial distance between him and Kobe, and Miller immediately passed the ball without hesitation.

After Lin Fei received the ball steadily, Kobe Bryant turned around and stood in front of Lin Fei again, looking at Lin Fei coldly with open arms.

Lin Fei looked at his teammates' positions and consciously moved to Ariza's side, scanning the ball while constantly glancing.

Ariza saw that Lin Fei was actually coming to him, and hesitated whether to go up to the bag, at this moment, Lin Fei slapped the ball and bowed his waist and accelerated directly from Kobe's side to the three-point line.

Just when he was about to stick to Lin Fei, seeing that Lin Fei did not continue to shoot the ball with his right hand but pushed it directly, Ariza was shocked, he didn't even have time to take care of his teammates just now, and he left Wilson. Chandler.

Kobe and Ariza didn't expect Lin Fei to choose to pass at this time, and Wilson. Chandler was in the empty seat.

When Lin Fei's ball arrived, Chandler didn't hesitate at all, jumped to the three-point line, and watched the basket shoot the ball, and his three-point shooting rate was as high as 43.6% this season. Chandler was confident.

"Not good!" Fisher felt bad and immediately stepped forward to make up for it, but the difference in height and reaction still made his defense a beat slower, and he could only watch Wilson. Chandler threw the ball out with a textbook shooting move.

Intuition told Chandler that the ball was there, and with a white wave from the Nets, Wilson. A smile bloomed at Chandler's lips.

"Accurate three-pointers, don't the Lakers know that the most difficult thing in this league to guard against is the Clippers' three-pointers? Looking at their three-point shooting percentage of more than 40%, Lin doesn't need to say at all, followed by JR, Wilson, Mario, then Rashid and Wilson, there are six people, Golan's three-point shooting rate is also 38.5%, you can imagine how terrifying it is to leave the Clippers with an open space on the outside. Barkley's tone was full of triumph.

Phil standing in front of the Lakers bench. Jackson smiled helplessly.

If Lin Fei is not trapped, only Kobe's single defense is slightly better, Ariza's strength disadvantage will cause him to be directly beaten by Lin Fei, and only Kobe Bryant's single defense Kobe's physical strength can not support the whole court at all, in this case, Lin Fei can only be properly packed, and once the bag is clamped, it will undoubtedly leave opportunities for the rest of the Clippers, which puts the Lakers' defense in a dilemma.

It turned out that the Lakers were extremely painful by the Clippers' offense, and could only seek success on the offensive end, and if it wasn't for Gasol playing a vital role, the Lakers would definitely be more than 5 points behind the Clippers at the end of the first quarter.

The Clippers are so strong that the other teams in the playoffs are scared.

Phil. Jackson did not replace Gasol and Kobe Bryant at the beginning of the second quarter, while Lin Fei and Chandler did off the court, Jr. Smith's role on the defensive end was very small, which allowed Kobe to seize a lot of opportunities, and the Lakers continued to consciously adopt a combination of inside and outside, which made the Clippers' defense a lot of problems at the beginning of the second quarter.

When Mike Dunleavy realized that it was not good, he replaced Lin Fei and Chandler, but he still failed to suppress the internal and external cooperation of Gasol and Kobe, and when the first half ended, the Lakers reversed the unfavorable situation, but instead led the Clippers to two points at 52:50, although it was only two points, but this was enough to make the Lakers fans who had been aggrieved for a long time excited.

"That's the charm of basketball, no one thought that the Lakers would successfully change the situation in the second quarter, as long as they continue to win, what can't they do." Kenny. Smith said with a smile, his eyes full of defiance.

"Kenny, didn't you notice that Bryant and Paul played the full twenty-four minutes in the first half? You wouldn't think the two of them were physically invincible, would you? I dare say that as long as the Lakers stick to this style of play, they will be the ones who will lose in the end, and I don't believe that their physical strength can hold on until the end of the game. "Barkley's words make a lot of sense, and they say it completely. Jackson's concerns.

The locker room of the Clippers seemed very quiet, all of them were resting and trying to recover their strength, Lin Fei went directly into the physical recovery training, looking like he was asleep, Mike Dunleavy seemed to have been used to Lin Fei for a long time, he didn't say anything, and he didn't even arrange tactics.

And the atmosphere in the Lakers' locker room was full of depression, Kobe Bryant's cold face and atmosphere were like a perfect match, panting for breath, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping down drop by drop.

Playing two quarters in the first half was a huge test for the 31-year-old, not to mention that more difficult was yet to come, and Pau Gasol was no different, and the Clippers' interior entanglement made him miserable.

When the staff knocked on the door of the Clippers locker room to remind that the second half of the game was about to start, Lin Fei came out of training, and the fatigue on his whole body disappeared.

Mike. Dunleavy clapped his hands and said, "I know you're tired, but we have to win this game." In the first half of the game, you can all feel that the Lakers are not so fragile, we will not be as easy as the first two games, but we have the ability to defeat them, what is needed is 100% dedication from everyone, as long as we win this victory, the score of 3:0 is the best guarantee for us to reach the Western Conference finals, we have lost to the Lakers in the past two years, let them know our strength this year, let them go fishing early, and continue to work hard in the second half! ”

Hear Mike. Dunleavy said that the Clippers players were all in good spirits.

O'Neill, who loves to play treasures, said with a grin: "Mike, don't worry, it must be them who are crying this time, I like to see the unhappy expression of that Bryant guy, just like this." O'Neal immediately made a grim expression, which made the Clippers laugh one by one, and the pressure in their hearts seemed to decrease with the laughter.

"Shaq, your expression is not Bryant, but like a noble dog." Rashid. Wallace said with a smile.

When the Clippers players walked out of the tunnel with a smile, the Lakers players on the other side all had serious expressions, forming a great contrast.

When the whistle blew in the third quarter, Lin Fei took the lead on the court.

"Phil, maybe you can rest assured for the time being, at least this time the Clippers didn't continue to change lineup in the second half, I think Phil must be sad in the locker room, and his hair feels a lot whiter." Barkley teased Phil unconcernedly. Jackson.

"Charles, you're such a boring guy who doesn't know how to respect people." Kenny. Smith said dissatisfied.

However, Barkley directly ignored Smith's words, because the game on the field was so exciting that he had no time to care.

In the third quarter of the game, the offense and defense of both sides completely entered a white-hot level, and Kobe Bryant and Gasol once again played the third quarter not only Phil. Jackson was worried, even Lakers fans were worried about their fitness, and Gasol and Kobe Bryant, who were still running fast on the court, were even more worried.

The Clippers' players cooperated in an orderly manner, played in an orderly manner, and rotated from time to time, which undoubtedly had a huge protective effect on the physical strength of the Clippers players, and at the end of the third quarter, the Clippers and the Lakers were tied 77:77.

Paul. Gasol did not rest for a minute in the third quarter, contributing 14 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks for the Lakers, and it is not surprising that he is likely to complete a triple-double today. Bryant also contributed 29 points, despite shooting just 12-of-29 from the field.

Lin Fei was the most outstanding of the Clippers in the first three quarters, contributing 22 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and it is very likely that he will get his fourth triple-double in the playoffs this year.

The game started quickly in the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant still did not rest, and Lin Fei also rested for five minutes and then reappeared, and Famar passed the ball directly to Kobe.

As soon as Kobe Bryant received the ball, Lin Fei appeared in front of him.

Kobe Bryant and Lin Fei were teammates on the same court three years ago, and now they have faced each other countless times, but every duel makes Lakers fans sigh, thinking of the original Mickey. Kupchak regretted his decision.

Everyone's attention was on Kobe and Lin Fei on the court, Kobe slowly dribbled the ball and looked at Lin Fei in front of him, "Do you think you can stop me?" ”

A faint smile appeared on Lin Fei's cheeks, "You have said it countless times, and I have answered it countless times. ”

Kobe Bryant snorted coldly, his eyes were extremely sharp, his body bowed, and he accelerated directly towards Lin Fei.

Lin Fei watched Kobe Bryant rushing towards him, and didn't seem to have any intention of backing down.

Kobe Bryant had already calculated his offensive moves, and at the moment when the bodies of the two people collided as scheduled, Kobe Bryant was about to continue to accelerate, but his hand slapped empty, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Bryant rushed to Lin!" Kenny. Smith shouted excitedly, he seemed to see the scene where Kobe Bryant easily passed Lin Fei.

However, at this time, the fans in the audience exclaimed, they couldn't imagine how the ball came to Lin Fei's hands, and that ball should have belonged to Kobe Bryant, to their proudest man.

However, now it appeared in Lin Fei's hands, and when Kobe Bryant reacted and turned around to chase the defense, Lin Fei had already rushed to the front court with all his might, leaving a big white No. 8 back to Kobe.

Looking at Lin Fei's back galloping away, Kobe Bryant's heart couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't figure out how Lin Fei had just completed the steal.

In the eyes of the whole court, in the midst of all kinds of boos, Lin Fei's speed became faster and faster, swept across the three-point line, and stepped on the free throw line fiercely, Lin Fei threw himself into the air, and under the light of Staples, he glided perfectly and showed his body.

After a wail from the basket, Lin Fei let go of his hand and jumped down.

Kobe Bryant stared at the big screen tightly and waited for the replay just now, the live director did not let Kobe wait, just when Kobe rushed to Lin Fei, Lin Fei quickly turned sideways, half of his body went around Kobe's side, and his right hand took out the basketball from behind Kobe, and the impact of the two made Kobe's dribble reveal a subtle flaw, it was really this subtle flaw that Lin Fei caught, and then quickly completed the break.

"Was it luck just now?" Kobe Bryant couldn't help but ask.

Lin Fei shrugged, "What do you say?" "I didn't admit that it was luck to break the ball, and I didn't say that it wasn't luck but premeditated.

The game continued, and the impact of physical fitness made every step of Kobe Bryant's difficult.

In the end, the Lakers completely gave up and changed their defensive tactics.

Outside the three-point line, Kobe and Lin Fei met again, despite the physical exertion, Kobe still did not give up, leaning on Lin Fei with his back, gritting his teeth and pushing Lin Fei forward, Lin Fei's strength advantage Kobe knew that he hoped that Lin Fei would do his best to defend, so that he would use a flexible turn to catch Lin Fei off guard.

And Lin Fei also had his own plans, and did not do his best to let Kobe Bryant push forward.

When Kobe pushed Lin Fei to the free throw line, Lin Fei sensed that Kobe was about to make the next move.

Sure enough, Kobe Bryant roared and hit him hard, and immediately turned around suddenly.

"Shooting?" Lin Fei's mind immediately remembered Kobe's signature offensive back-to-back turnover jumper.

His feet couldn't help but pad, and at this moment, Kobe Bryant bowed down and rushed past Lin Fei.

However, to Kobe's surprise, Lin Fei actually strangled his subconscious jump, and then forcibly blocked him.

"Can you stop me?" Bryant roared, jumped directly and forced, exerted his maximum strength, and threw the ball with a noticeable backlash.

However, to Kobe's surprise, Lin Fei jumped up again and slapped the rising basketball hard.

Without waiting for Kobe Bryant to react, Lin Fei landed and chased after the basketball, and the speed advantage was instantly displayed.

Lin Fei was like a bolt of lightning slicing across Staples.

Leaving everyone behind.

When Lin Fei jumped from the free throw and glided the basket, it was like flying towards a road to the king.

Everyone looked at Lin Fei in the air, and Lin Fei in the air was so beautiful and elegant.

Barkley opened his mouth and tried to say something but swallowed it hard, as if he was afraid to ruin the perfect moment.

Drawn into a full bow, with a swing of his right hand, the basketball slammed into the basket in a circle.

It's more like being buckled into Kobe's heart, Lin Fei in front of him has become more and more powerful, he doesn't even know if Lin Fei has overtaken him, shaking his head Kobe threw his thoughts out of his mind.

(To be continued)
