Chapter Forty-Three: The Second Battle of the Los Angeles Derby!

After the first battle, the Clippers held their breath, and this breath made them gradually let go of the sense of weakness in their hearts, the Lakers at this moment are not an invincible team in their seriousness, so the Clippers side except for the resentful Lin Fei from the veteran Kassel to the inside Josh Powell have become calm, this atmosphere made coach Mike Dunleavy slightly relieved, originally in the playoffs he did not give the team a goal, but tried his best to enjoy the atmosphere of the playoffs.

At this moment, Lin Fei is standing at the end of the team, and Staples, which also belongs to him, is in complete darkness at the moment. With the soft voice of the Lakers' DJ on the spot, Lin Fei watched his teammates trot out of the players' tunnel one by one.

Slowly Lin Fei came to the entrance of the player's tunnel, waiting for the sound of the DJ on the scene, at the beginning of the first game, Lin Fei enjoyed the cheers of many Lakers fans, so Lin Fei recorded surprise and cordiality, what about this one? Lin Fei was a little bottomless.

"Welcome Los Angeles Lakers No. 8 Lin Fei!" The Lakers DJ called out Lin Fei's voice a little louder than the other players, and it was a little clearer.

Under the familiar light of Staples, Lin Fei ran towards the court with his arms raised, and high-fived his teammates standing on both sides one by one, Lin Fei could clearly feel the fighting spirit burning in his heart.

The boos at the scene slightly overpowered the cheers, and Lin Fei smiled faintly, he understood that this was the characteristic of this alliance.

"It's the second of the Los Angeles playoff derby, Bill, do you have anything to say about the first game?" Hoffman asked, looking at Bill Wharton beside him.

Bill Wharton looked at the players on the court who had already stood in formation and were ready to jump ball, "The intensity of the first game surprised many people, it's a pity that the bald Crawford ruined a game, but from an objective point of view, the Clippers have to let Lin give full play to resist the Lakers, if the Lakers successfully contain Lin Fei, then the Clippers have little chance of winning." ”

Jump ball Paul Davis vs Anzu Byram, this is almost a suspenseless jump ball.

With a whistle, the referee threw the basketball in his hand.

The jump ball began with Byram and Paul Davis jumping at the same time, but Byram easily shook off Davis and raised his arm a whole lot higher.

"Smack"

The basketball was slapped into Fisher's hands by a small shark, and the once small fish has become an old fish, and Fisher, who staged a miracle of 0.4 seconds, has now become more stable, steadily controlling the ball and advancing to the front court.

In this game, Mike Dunleavy once again sent the alien Cassel, a showdown between two old demon-level point guards.

Cassel didn't try to make too many tackles, but kept interfering with Fisher, so that Fisher would not be interesting and stable.

The Lakers' first offense in the opening game was not handed over to Kobe, but to Pau Gasol on the inside. Pau Gasol's advantage over Josh Powell is quite obvious, not only in terms of height, but also in terms of technical level.

One turned Gasol directly to face Powell, one tentative step, the ball hit hard, one-handed ball directly cut Powell, easily staged a one-handed dunk, and the Staples Center erupted in the first wave of cheers since the start of the game.

"Paul and the Los Angeles Lakers are a perfect match." Bill Wharton was very sympathetic to Gasol's offense.

"Yes, it's crucial for Paul to have a high ball quotient to play in the triangle offense, and his defense and rebounding play is one of the best for the Lakers." Hoffman agreed.

Switching offense and defense, Kassel steadily controlled the ball and advanced to the front court, Kobe Bryant stared at Lin Fei with sharp eyes, Kassel looked at Lin Fei with a sideways pass, and after the basketball bypassed Fisher and hit the ground, it bounced to Lin Fei's waist and abdomen with great accuracy.

Lin Fei caught the ball steadily, this was the first pass Lin Fei received in this game, the regret of the last game Lin Fei didn't want to play again, even if the team's strength in all aspects was almost obvious compared with the Lakers, but Lin Fei was not willing to surrender easily.

Adjust the rhythm of your grab, and slightly bend your body to hold the ball in your front torks to prevent Kobe's steal.

"Rookie, you will be baptized by me again today!" Kobe Bryant put one hand against Lin Fei's waist and said in a cold tone.

Lin Fei didn't speak, he knew that Kobe's trash talk was so powerful, and the adjusted rhythm did not leave any warning for Kobe, a sharp acceleration instantly took a big step and went directly to the inside line, such a fierce acceleration made Kobe a little surprised, Lin Fei only took one step to completely shake off Kobe Bryant, who was a little undercoping, Kobe scolded and hurriedly turned around to chase, but found that Lin Fei's guy was not an ordinary change from the original Lin Fei, and the current speed is much faster than when he first entered the alliance, Kobe secretly admired Lin Fei's progress speed, gritted his teeth and chased after him.

Fast!

This is everyone's first impression when they see Lin Fei's breakthrough.

Lin Fei tore through the defense line like lightning and cut directly into the inner line.

Got rid of Kobe Bryant in one step, got rid of Luke Wharton who tried to make up for the defense in the second step, looked at the basket, Lin Fei didn't hesitate, directly held the ball with both hands, strode into the basket, and shot after a dodge.

"Smack"

The sound of the block made Lin Fei's face look surprised, he didn't expect his basket to be blocked.

Lin Fei was slightly stunned, because the number of times he was blocked by defenders this season could be counted, and the basketball hit Lin Fei's body and popped up the boundary.

Gasol's eyes glared at Lin Fei angrily, he has been carrying the reputation of a soft egg, the silent Gasol has always used his actions to prove to the world that he is not a soft egg, but in Memphis he never threw off this embarrassing hat, in the playoffs he swallowed twelve consecutive defeats in shame, the last derby was the first playoff victory in his career, and his 23 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks also made him the best player in the last game.

Still, there were many people who questioned him, so Gasol held his breath to prove himself.

Lin Fei clearly felt a trace of uneasiness from Gasol's eyes, frowned and slowly ran towards the backfield.

Because the ball smashed on Lin Fei's body and bounced off the boundary, the ball changed hands, and the Lakers once again gained the offensive ball, and Fisher controlled the ball and handed it to Kobe Bryant just after halftime.

Out of consideration for Lin Fei's offensive end, Mike Dunleavy handed over the task of defending Kobe Bryant to Wilson Chandler, so that Lin Fei could save his physical strength as much as possible to cause more damage on the offensive end.

Chandler, who is also a rookie, is a little stiff in defense, but his defense has been much better after the last game, but the shadow of the famous tree, Kobe's terrifying offensive strength still makes him a little nervous, Lin Fei on the side can see Chandler's efforts, but Kobe is Kobe in the end.

After a crotch sway, the whole person shook to the left, and directly accelerated to the right side, Chandler's defensive center of gravity was already a little unstable, but Chandler, who gritted his teeth, actually stabilized his center of gravity in a short period of time and blocked Kobe Bryant again.

Chandler's defense made Kobe slightly stunned, but soon the corners of Kobe's mouth hooked a smile, just like a black mamba highlighting the snake letter, two consecutive skillful crotches suddenly connected a large change of direction, which made Chandler, who was still a rookie, completely unable to parry.

"Kobe Bryant easily passed Chandler, and the road ahead is smooth!" Hoffman exclaimed.

Indeed, in the face of Paul Davis and Josh Powell on the inside, Kobe Bryant was not afraid, jumped directly, and smashed the ball into the basket with a small lever in the air.

At 4:0, Kobe Bryant shook his fist fiercely, looking at Lin Fei without hiding the ruthlessness of his eyes.

"Rookie, you better give up, you can't defeat me!" Kobe Bryant left this sentence in Lin Fei's ear, looking at Kobe's back, the corners of Lin Fei's mouth rose slightly, and he remembered the trash words in the face of Kobe Bryant when he tried out, "Bryant, I will defeat you one day!" ”

Cassel dribbled to the front court again, Lin Fei couldn't wait to plug his ears with a plum ball at the moment, Kobe Bryant in the playoffs has been upgraded, and his trash talk is also escalating, and now Lin Fei finally understands how others feel when he spits trash talk on others, Kobe Bryant spares no effort on his defense, with some hidden small actions that make him uncomfortable all the time.

After a season's competition, Lin Fei has tasted all kinds of defenses, but in the face of his former teammates, Kobe Bryant, who is very familiar with him, Lin Fei feels that the defense is more tight, because Kobe is very familiar with some of Lin Fei's basic moves.

"Rookie, give up! Maybe you can come back next year, don't waste your energy now! Kobe Bryant is still spitting trash talk, and Lin Fei, the hidden harasser in his left hand.

The first few goals are important for both sides, so the Clippers must score, and Lin Fei didn't want to avoid him and decided to choose to face the difficulties! Challenge Kobe's defense!

Leaning on Kobe Bryant's back completely, he completely ignored Kobe's small movements, leaned his back firmly against Kobe's chest, and his ass with a certain tonnage hit Kobe Bryant a little bit back, and after completely occupying the position, Lin Fei raised his right hand high, he wanted to ask for the ball, "Sam, give me the ball!" ”

Lin Fei shouted directly at the alien Cassel who was holding the ball!

"It seems that Lin is ready to challenge Kobe Bryant directly, I love scenes like this!" Bill Wharton said happily.

Such a move made Kobe slightly stunned, although Lin Fei has a certain advantage in height and strength, but compared to him, such an advantage is not obvious to the point where the advantage can be guaranteed, so in the face of Lin Fei's choice, Kobe Bryant was a little surprised.

Mike Dunleavy on the sidelines looked at Lin Fei thoughtfully, while Phil Jackson frowned slightly.

After hearing Lin Fei's voice, he glanced at the distribution of the players on the court, and after ensuring the safety of the pass, Kassel chose to pass the ball high, and directly hoisted the ball with his back against Fisher in front of him, and passed the ball to Lin Fei's direction.

Kobe Bryant's left elbow, which was far away from the referee's sight, hit Lin Fei's waist lightly, "Rookie, have you decided to single me?" I think you need to stay sane, running and attacking is your best decision and not singles! Kobe's trash talk drilled into Lin Fei's ears again, Lin Fei glanced at Kobe Bryant behind him, but did not fight back, and caught the basketball a little staggered under Kobe's elbow!

Stabilizing the center of gravity of his body, Lin Fei immediately adjusted his rhythm, and made a gentle impact on his back, and the power from behind him told Lin Fei where Kobe's defensive center of gravity was, which he noticed after a long duel with Kobe, and now he decided to make good use of this result.

Holding the ball in front of his chest with both hands, his left foot as the axis, and his left shoulder followed by a shake to the left, Kobe Bryant behind him only moved slightly, and the overall defensive center of gravity was still perfectly controlled, Lin Fei was not discouraged, but suddenly his upper body shook sharply to the right, and this sudden blur finally deceived Kobe.

In the face of Lin Fei's turn, Kobe Bryant slid a step, but soon a trace of anger appeared on his face, Kobe forcibly adjusted his center of gravity, trying to regain control of Lin Fei, but at this time, Lin Fei's right hand slapped the basketball heavily, the whole person turned around on the spot, turned over, Lin Fei, who jumped high in the air, completely faced the basket head-on, at this time the distance between him and Kobe opened a position, when he was completely in the air, Kobe hurriedly jumped to defend.

Lin Fei's whole person seemed to be stagnant in the air, Kobe's face was full of disbelief, his body leaned back slightly, his eyes glanced at Kobe Bryant who was defending with his arms straight, the corners of his mouth were raised, and the standard shooting hand was quickly formed, looking at the basket in the distance with confidence, the basketball flew into the air.

Lin Fei in the air still maintained a perfect hand shape, and the orange basketball drew a beautiful arc towards the basket in the direction that Lin Fei's shooting hand was pointing at.

Swish!

A crisp sound of wiping the net echoed through the Staples Center, and the nets rolled into a white wave as the basketball passed.

The corners of Lin Feixi's boss Kobe Bryant twitched slightly, not knowing whether to laugh or disdain.

At 2:4, Lin Fei made a beautiful turnaround jumper to break the offensive deadlock for the Clippers.

"Eye-catching shooting, Lin used a Kobe Bryant shot to tell Kobe that he is no longer the original little brother, but the leader of a team!" Hoffman was full of praise for Lin Fei's shot.

The few Clippers fans at the Staples Center cheered enthusiastically for this goal, and for them, with Lin Fei here, there is hope!

The big screen began to replay Lin Fei's wonderful goal just now!

"Bryant, is this shot okay?" Lin Fei looked at Kobe Bryant, who couldn't tell whether he was happy or depressed with an expression on his face, and said with a smile.

"It's still early!" Kobe Bryant's reply was a bit of a donkey's head wrong for the horse's mouth, and Lin Fei smiled and immediately caught up with Kobe. He didn't want to score just because he was counterattacked by Kobe Bryant's lightning fast break.

Bryant was about to pass the ball again, and the Black Mamba showed his fangs at the Clippers!
