Chapter 137: A sly smile
Chapter 137 Cunning smile Kobe's instantaneous movements surprised Lin Fei, Kobe has never been a speed player, whether it is attacking or defending Lin Fei does not feel fast at any time, so the distance from Kobe Bryant is about half a position, such a defensive distance is undoubtedly the best for Kobe Bryant, who is not a speed attacker, but now Kobe Bryant completely raised his speed in an instant, so that Lin Fei was just about to react, I felt that Kobe Bryant was blowing past me like a gust of wind.
This kind of feeling has never been encountered by Lin Fei when defending Kobe Bryant before, and it is only felt in a player like Chris Paul.
Although he was successfully broken through by Kobe, Lin Fei did not give up his defense, and turned around and accelerated to chase him directly.
Kobe Bryant's offense not only surprised Lin Fei, but even Tyson Chandler and Josh McRoberts on the Clippers' interior line also showed a slow defensive response.
By the time Tyson Chandler reacted and tried to jump high to interfere with Kobe's shot, Kobe Bryant already had enough room to shoot, snap!
Although the sound of hitting Kobe Bryant's arm was soft, the sharp-eyed referee did not hesitate to blow the whistle in his mouth to signal Tyson Chandler to foul him, and Kobe Bryant threw the ball out.
Swish!
The basketball got into the hoop.
The referee immediately awarded two valid points plus one free throw, and Tyson Chandler was depressed.
"This is a fatal blow to the Clippers, Tyson has been saddled with three fouls, Mike Dunleavy had to replace him with rookie Roy Hibbert, this is a blow to the Clippers, we all know that the Clippers' interior line is weak, and Hibbert and Josh McRoberts both have two fouls, which is a dangerous factor for the Clippers and is undoubtedly a great opportunity for the Lakers, I believe that Kobe Bryant will not give up such a good opportunity, and will frequently impact the interior, and the Clippers' defense will be severely tested." The commentator pointed out the big trouble faced by the Clippers, Mike Dunleavy on the sidelines frowned, and Tyson Chandler sat on the bench with his head down, and was replaced just after he came on the court, which could affect the team's final victory, and Chandler was very upset.
Kobe Bryant gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in celebration on his chest, and the Lakers fans of Staples did not hesitate to send Bryant a huge cheer.
Even celebrating Kobe Bryant was resolutely cold, walked to the free throw line, took the ball thrown by the referee and simply adjusted it and threw the ball.
Swish!
With a free throw shot, the Lakers extended their lead by five points.
Hibbert immediately sent the ball to Andre Miller, this offense did not pass through Lin Fei's hands, Lin Fei's continuous running position continued to contain the Lakers' defensive line, which created an opportunity for Andre Miller to play alone, facing the old fish Fisher Miller turned around and cut in to complete the throw, narrowing the difference to three points.
The Clippers fans at the Staples scene were not at all in the same order of magnitude as the Lakers fans, and the faint cheering sound from the Clippers fans was directly drowned out by the huge boos caused by the Lakers fans.
This time the defense Kobe did not find Lin Fei, or Artest was in charge of the main defense, Artest and Kobe Bryant fought for eight seconds Kobe did not find a good opportunity to shoot, and finally passed the ball to the hands of Bayram on the inside, in the face of rookie Roy Hibbert Bayram played very confidently, and won the cheers of the fans by turning around and dunking.
Mike Dunleavy and Lin Fei on the sidelines frowned at the same time, "I didn't expect the influence of fouls to be reflected in this offense, Roy Hibbert and Josh McRoberts just attacked Bayram on the defensive end this time, and the slow motion showed that they were afraid of the third foul on their backs, so that the defensive action seemed very restrained and did not dare to let go at all, which directly gave Bayram the opportunity to dunk easily, if the Clippers inside could not relax their mentality and unload the burden of being afraid of fouls, the Clippers in this game are likely to be dangerous." The narrator voiced Dunleavy and Lin Fei's concerns.
Lin Fei looked at Hibbert and McRoberts and felt that he should do something.
When Andre Miller advanced to the front court with the ball, Lin Fei immediately ran to Miller, "Andre! ”
Miller did not hesitate to hand over the ball to Lin Fei, and when Lin Fei held the ball, Kobe Bryant quickly pasted it.
In the past, when Lin Fei faced the Lakers fans, the Lakers fans rarely booed Lin Fei, but now in this playoffs, Lin Fei has really heard the boos.
"Traitor, this is not your place!"
"Don't be delusional about winning, there's only one Laker in Los Angeles."
…… The boos drilled into Lin Fei little by little, Lin Fei was not angry at all, but the corners of his mouth hooked an arc, because this is the atmosphere of the away game, and the boos can stimulate his fighting spirit even more.
Lin Fei held the ball at a three-point point of 45 degrees on the right side, and a big shaking signboard was printed in his eyes, and the Q version of Lin Fei was wearing the Lakers' No. 8 jersey with his head down, and the English word traitor was written behind him.
"I've been completely forgotten by them." Lin Fei looked at Kobe Bryant in front of him and said, his tone revealing a trace of sadness.
"This is the NBA." Kobe Bryant replied, and did not relax his vigilance because of this, he deeply knew that suppressing Lin Fei was the most important thing, Lin Fei was the offensive core of the entire Clippers team, as long as Lin Fei was suppressed, the Lakers would not be far from victory, so suppressing Lin Fei was the key to the Lakers' victory, Kobe Bryant took a step forward and pasted Lin Fei together.
Lin Fei's ball-holding offense is mostly based on his own fast and then takes action, fast not only shows that Lin Fei's speed is fast, but also the frequency and rhythm of dribbling can reach a very fast point, but Kobe Bryant is obviously familiar with Lin Fei's offensive method, but familiarity and successful defense are definitely two different things, but this time Kobe's defense did a good job so well that Lin Fei's continuous actions failed to find a good entry point, but even so, Lin Fei forced Kobe back a few steps.
Eyes and the inside of Roy Hibbert exchange, Lin Fei continued his singles, suddenly a back dribble after Lin Fei directly turned over, it seems that a forced turn back jumper is about to be born, Kobe Bryant did not have the slightest nervousness and seemed to be more than coping, stretched out his arms to try to cover Lin Fei's shooting vision.
This is also a method that is more commonly used by defensive players in the league now, commonly known as blindfolding.
Seeing that Kobe Bryant jumped up completely, Lin Fei was not nervous at all, but a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and the hand shape of the shot changed, pushing the ball to the basket instead of throwing it to the basket.
"What does he want to do?" This is a common idea among many people.
Pau Gasol jumped up to try to interfere with the ball in the air when he saw the ball coming in, but the basketball jumped high and his fingers flew to the other side, significantly higher than the basket.
Byram looked at the incoming ball with disdain, ready to jump and take the outrageous ball down.
Boom!
There was a huge impact on the back, and Bayram, who had just jumped, was knocked down, and the whole person threw himself forward can imagine how embarrassed he was.
"Bang!"
The basket let out a groan of pain, only to see Roy. Hibbert hung on top of the basket, and Hibbert's face was full of excited smiles, and there was no doubt that the ball made him dispel some of the tension in his heart.
Not only did the margin return to three points, but more importantly, the aerial relay allowed Hibbert to find confidence.
Bairam's face was very ugly, he couldn't stand being relayed in the air by a rookie on his head, and he was still a backdrop.
"It's a beautiful pass, isn't it?" Lin Fei shrugged at Kobe.
Lakers fans at the scene used their boos to encourage the Lakers up and down.
"Thank you for the pass!" Roy Hibbert ran to Lin Fei's side and said excitedly.
'You dunk more beautifully, keep working hard, the team needs you.' Lin Fei patted Hibbert's ass and ran to the backfield.
Lin Fei was obviously a provocation just now, he wanted to completely arouse Kobe, for the Clippers, Kobe Bryant was originally the undefensible existence, and in addition to Kobe, the Lakers' inside line is the most feared by the Clippers, once Kobe turns on the offensive mode, it will also change to the end of the Lakers' strong interior advantage, and it will also make Kobe spend more physical strength in the offense, originally Kobe Bryant has spent a lot of physical strength in defense in this game, and now it is undoubtedly a good plan for the Clippers to spend on the offensive end.
"How? Come on! Lin Fei's tone sounded very relaxed.
Kobe Bryant raised his arm high and motioned for Fisher to pass the ball to him, and Lakers fans began to expect Kobe to give Lin Fei a good look.
Boom!
With a blow to his body, the rhythm of Kobe's hand was not disrupted at all, leaning on Lin Fei to cut directly and forcefully cut in, and then he stopped jumping and leaned back to hit.
There is no doubt that this is another difficult goal for Kobe.
And in the next game process, Lin Fei repeatedly attracted the defense to look for the inside McRoberts and Hibbert, and on the defensive end, the two of them gradually let go, not like they were very restrained just now, but they will still pay attention to their defense, and on the defensive end, both of them stretched out their arms as much as possible to interfere with the shooting instead of looking for blocks, although in this case, the success rate of the Lakers hitting the interior line has increased, but overall it is still within the acceptable range of the Clippers.
And Kobe Bryant still maintains a high-intensity offensive aggression, although Artest and Lin Fei are struggling to deal with it on the defensive end.
On the offensive end of the Clippers, it revolves around Andre Miller, and Lin Fei is more of a strategy and pass to draw the Lakers' defensive attention, and the offensive efficiency is also maintained at an objective level, so the score on the court has not been pulled away too much, at the end of the first half, the score on the big screen obviously cannot satisfy the Lakers fans at home, 55:52 The Lakers still only maintain a three-point lead.
Looking at Kobe Bryant's panting appearance, Lin Fei flashed a sly smile.
