Chapter 11: The Rookie's Final Showdown
Since entering the league, his status as the top pick has been so gorgeous, and he is a little-known second-round rookie; He started at the start, with a beautiful hand of stats, while he sat on the cold bench for almost half a season; He rose to the tops of a barrage of horror-level stats, but he exploded into a new star in a single game. If this is a place of seniority, he is fully qualified to say to him, you were still wearing pants when I became famous, but now they are incredibly in the same arena, who will be the last person to smile?
Lin Fei's playing time is almost fixed at more than 20 minutes, sometimes as a starter, sometimes as the sixth man, after a few games, he can contribute an average of 15 points and 3 assists per game, the shooting rate is extremely terrifying 55%, 3-point shooting rate is 49%, free throw shooting rate is 84%, almost entered the 190 club, to be able to reach this level, the two regular season MVP is one, that is still Nash's peak. It can be seen that the efficiency is really amazing. The most amazing thing is that he will always use 3-pointers to break the deadlock when the team is in a scoring drought, and he can almost make 3 3-pointers in these games. But that's because in order to maintain the competitiveness of the playoffs, the coach will not easily break up the mature enough lineup that has been run-in, because Lin Fei is good at scoring when he is on the court, but other teammates can't score, and when Curry is on the court, the team's offense is in order, so Lin Fei uses it at critical moments, a key gentleman. But none of this can hide his shine. From the evaluation of experts, we know that if the coach knows how to use Lin Fei, he will definitely enter the top 10 of the scoring list.
I remember that after the Warriors and Timberwolves game, when they almost tied with Brooklin, the reporter asked Lin Fei if he had the confidence to challenge the best rookie, Lin Fei smiled, "Actually, that's my good brother, Keynes played great, he limited Brulin very well, I can have a chance to attack, he is better than me." I've only played four games now, and I don't have the heart to get any glory right now, I just want to spend more time in a game, shoot more threes and do what I have to do." When the reporter asked him if he would continue to start, Lin Fei said disdainfully, "It doesn't matter, as long as I can win the game, I will play whatever the coach arranges." ”
Alexander-Arnold has been annoyed lately, being asked about the best rookie all day long, and he keeps repeating over and over again, "We're not very mature yet, our results will speak for themselves, if anyone is going to challenge, come on." I love a challenge. In fact, he had watched Lin Fei's game, he knew that Lin Fei was great, and he also wanted to meet this kid with fierce momentum. And this opportunity will begin tomorrow.
Lin Fei's position in the team is becoming clearer and clearer, the sixth man, because the coach found that whether he is a starter or a substitute, his efficiency is always amazing, the Warriors' starting attack is already very strong, the bench is slightly worse, Lin Fei plays as the sixth man, a typical bench bandit, can maintain the continuity of the entire Warriors' offense, and this approach is almost impossible for any other team to parry. Previously, the Warriors averaged 103 points per game, and since Lin Fei joined, they have averaged 113 points per game, and it is obvious how much the offensive ability has increased, but there is another point that cannot be ignored, the Warriors have conceded an average of 105 points per game before, and now they have conceded an average of 113 points per game. The chain reaction is obvious.
The home court of the Warriors, this seems to be very beneficial to Lin Fei. At least the fans will support him.
Often, fans cheer for Lin Fei, just talking about popularity, it seems that Lin Fei is now the king of popularity among fans, maybe this is also related to his identity! He is a Chinese, with a group of crazy fans behind him, a group of fans who are loyal to the death, Americans know the madness of Chinese, the All-Star Game is the best example, when Yao Ming entered the NBA, he squeezed the "Big Shark" who was at his peak out of the starting lineup with super popularity, and was selected as the NBA All-Star starting center by a group of crazy fans in the case of several injuries. But in this city, Lin Fei's fans have grown almost explosively. Maybe it's because of his style of play, although he can't even dunk, and he will never see the violent aesthetics that Americans advocate in him, but Lin Fei's style of play is more gorgeous, the speed of the wind, weird breakthroughs, and accurate ultra-long-distance shooting, all of which are very pleasing to fans.
And Ridno's appearance is a boo, and in this city the fans won't buy his account at all, even if you can fly, even if you dunk violently, but we only support our heroes. And their team boss, Wall, the power guard.
At the beginning of the game, the Wizards quickly took the initiative, and Ridno played very active inside, scoring points under the basket and grabbing a lot of rebounds in a row. In the confrontation with the Warriors' interior Jobs, Redno completely took the initiative and limited Jobs to the slump, especially the shooting, throughout the first half, the Warriors' interior line has not opened the situation, and only scored 17 points at halftime. And the rest are outside scores. The halftime score was 55:61, and the Warriors trailed by six points. With 11 points and 7 rebounds in the half, Reedno almost controlled the interior of the court, including 3 tomahawk dunks, which shows that the Warriors' defense is really full of holes. Lin Fei came on the court after 7 minutes in the first quarter and played until the end of the half, contributing 17 points, shooting 3 of 5 from 3-pointers, but without a single assist. Lidno also has 4 assists, he often plays with his back in the low post, and the Warriors are generally afraid of such a strong inside, at this time, the Warriors will generally be covered, and Lidno at this time as long as he passes the ball to the outside is an empty position, and the Wizards' outside line and a good player like Wall are waiting on the outside, so the assist is also very easy. In fact, if Lin wants to assist, he will force the opponent to defend in the half, and the defense will be separated and passed to his teammates, and the vacancy will easily appear, but Lin Fei did not try it today, because he has a strong performance, which is what every young person has ever had.
In the second half, the Warriors changed their defense and strengthened their defense against the man who passed the ball to Ridno, who had a hard time receiving the ball and almost no shell input, making it difficult to play a lot of offensive power. But his rebounds are still so strong. The second offense is still good. On both occasions, it was Ridno who picked up the rebound directly on Clauderson's head and scored a violent dunk. However, the Warriors' card in the third quarter was Curry, and under his leadership, the Warriors' firepower was still ferocious, scoring 40 points in the third quarter. The score was overtaken to 95:91 and a four-point lead. At the beginning of the last quarter, coach Nelson still sent Curry and Lin Fei's double empty formation, which was really bold. At such a critical moment, I feel that there are very few people in the league who have sent such a lineup. However, Lin Fei and Curry did not disappoint him much, Curry had contributed 5 assists in a single quarter with 2 minutes left in the game, 3 of which were for Lin Fei, all of which were converted into Lin Fei's 3-point shots, because it was too easy to pass the ball to Lin Fei, he was far away from the basket, almost hovering near the halfcourt.
With 2 minutes remaining, 113:109, the Warriors led by four points. The Wizards attacked, Wall controlled the ball, the speed was fast, Curry's defense could barely keep up, Redno quickly ran to the basket, Wall threw the ball directly high, very high, almost no one could receive the ball, unless it was a monster, but it was really lucky, this monster just let the Wizards meet, Ridno relayed in the air, and the dunk was successful. Ridno roared at the sky. Wall patted Rednow, meaning that the little brother continued to work hard, and it was up to us. The pillars of these two wizards will definitely hold up a piece of the sky of wizards not far away.
There are still two points left, and now every ball is the key, and it is safe to play one. Who is the Warriors most sure of making key shots right now? Everyone will think of him - Lin Fei.
Now the Wizards' defense is obvious, and they even sent 2 people to follow up with Lin Fei, it seems that they didn't plan to let him catch the ball, no way, pass the ball to Ax, Lin Fei ran with a huff, and Wall ran with him. This is the Wizards, almost the other three people, and the Warriors are four people. Lin Fei didn't touch the ball in this attack, and Aix's shot was directly deflected, a key ball. Missed, Wizards' rebound.
Wall quickly got to the front court with the ball, but he didn't do it alone like Lin Fei, but waited for his teammates to settle down. At this moment, the Wizards can rely on them the most, two champions.
The most important thing about passing is nothing more than basketball IQ and vision, and it seems that Wall has both. In the face of defense, Wall's 3-point line burst in at a 45-degree angle, Lidno raised the high post to block and dismantle, Wall burst in, and after a few steps, he passed back to Lidno, and Lidno hung Wall again, plus the running of other teammates, the Warriors' defense was already in disarray. Wall made a layup against Lin Fei, Lin Fei's footsteps followed quickly, but the strength gap was just that Lin Fei fell directly and fouled defensively. Free throws, both free throws. With less than one minute left, the game was back to square one.
The Warriors took a timeout, and the coach made a surprise mistake and replaced Lin Fei. Because he saw it, Lin Fei was very tired.
It's a shame that this rookie clash can't fight you until the last minute.
Lin Fei had 27 points, 0 assists and 2 rebounds.
With 19 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists, Ridno looked like a complete winner.
The game is no longer relevant. The last shot of success or failure, there is no Lin Fei. The coach always has his reasons, but from Lin Fei's own point of view, these problems are his own problems.
This is him, a person who only finds problems in himself, and who knows how to see his own problems clearly.
