The frenzied quartet of the summer trading market combined with the horror of a crazy 16-game unbeaten streak in November, which set a record for the NBA's opening streak, put the entire Los Angeles Clippers under the microscope of the league's powerhouses.

Almost all the media are touting the strength of the Los Angeles Clippers, and they can't wait to say that the Clippers have locked up the NBA championship this year, and the Clippers know this truth, so before every game, Mike Dunleavy will always find a way to cool down the team's state and try to dispel the pride in the team, and then the veterans play a key role, they set an example for the young players, and in this case, the Clippers can win all the way.

But there are always people who like to pick a bone in the egg and say that the Clippers' sixteen-game winning streak is not enough.

"Behind the Beautiful Record of Sixteen Consecutive Wins" - "Cleveland Sentinel" The popularity of the Los Angeles Clippers has almost swept the United States, and they will be seen in every corner of the newspaper, yes, it is undeniable that the new NBA record of 16 consecutive wins is terrifying enough, the victory of 16 games is not simply a superposition of the difficulty of one game after another but a gradual process, it is a great feat to be able to achieve 16 games undefeated, but behind this beautiful record we can see what, Allow me to define the teams outside the Eastern and Western playoffs as slightly weaker teams, so if we look at the Clippers' winning streak and count them once, we finally find that the teams that are slightly worse in 16 games are the majority, and only five of the teams that have won have participated in the Eastern and Western playoffs last season, they are the San Antonio Spurs, New Orleans Hornets, Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons, and Philadelphia 76ers, but the only recognized league powerhouse in this is San Antonio. And the first loss to the Clippers is not necessarily a difference in strength, but also a problem of chemistry. So can it be said that the gold content of this sixteen consecutive wins is insufficient? Finally, look sensibly at each team's victory, and maybe there are other things to keep an eye on.

Although the Cleveland Sentinel article seems to be nothing more than an ordinary article, attacking the surname is not very strong, and taking an alternative route in the trend of the Clippers is also an innovation, but when it comes to other media outlets in Cleveland, it naturally comes to mind that it is just a matter of speaking for the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers in the new season have not received any specific reinforcements, just signing Anthony. Parker also lost inside titan Ben. Wallace caused the team's internal strength to drop a lot above a certain extent, but the Cavaliers still performed strongly in the new season, and under James's leadership, they only lost two games in November, and James and Lin Fei's outstanding performances in the new season made them firmly occupy the top two places in the Most Valuable Player rankings.

December 25 is another Christmas, and this day will be the most direct conversation between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Clippers, and before that, the Clippers still have thirteen games, and the intensity of thirteen games in 24 days is not too great.

On December 2, the Los Angeles Clippers' first game of the new month against the Dallas Mavericks was a game that many expert media defined as likely to end the winning streak.

And it turns out that this possibility does not exist, and the inside line lost Brandonbass only gained Drew. Gooden's Mavericks didn't improve on the center position they needed most.

In the first quarter of the game, the Clippers started the inside shark O'Neal and the roaring Tianzun Wallace The duo gave the Dallas Mavericks an unforgettable memory, and the two combined to score 27 points in a single quarter, which is more than the Mavericks' entire team score in the first quarter. Cuban looked at the inside line of the Clippers on the court, and then looked at the inside line of the Clippers off the court, and his hatred for the Orlando Magic deepened.

And Lin Fei played eight minutes in the first quarter without a shot completely became a green leaf, even at the end of the first half Lin Fei only shot two and four free throws to get 9 points, which is far lower than Lin Fei's average points per game in the first half of the season, but Lin Fei set a new personal half-court assist record in the first half - nine, and this number is only four times from Lin Fei's career single-game assist record, in addition to Lin Fei also grabbed 7 rebounds, laying a solid foundation for his triple-double data.

The second half of the game undoubtedly belonged to Roy. Hibbert and Lamar. Odom's, the two people who came off the bench formed a new interior combination, Odom's organizational response, Hibbert's interior killing gave the Mavericks a more fatal blow, when the fourth quarter was in the fifth minute, the game had completely lost suspense, the 24-point difference made Nowitzki close his eyes, he deeply felt that the championship was getting farther and farther away from him, and he thought for the first time of leaving if the team did not continue to strengthen.

And in this game in which the Clippers sang the leading role, Lin Fei unknowingly got the twelfth triple-double of his career, and it was also his fourth triple-double in the new season, the only regret is that Lin Fei passed by with his own personal assist record.

With a win over the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Clippers went on to win over the Portland Trail Blazers and then back-to-back victories over the Milwaukee Bucks, extending their opening winning streak to nineteen.

Lin Fei averaged 25.4 points (7th in the league), 5.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 2.1 steals (5th in the league), 1.3 blocks, 1.6 turnovers and a shooting rate of 59.8%, a three-point shooting rate of 56.4%, and a free throw shooting rate of 97.5% with a super performance of leading the team to 16 undefeated games, and deservedly won the Most Valuable Player of the First Month in the West, while Mike Dunleavy won the Coach of the Month in the First Month of the West, and James was awarded the Most Valuable Player of the East.

"Lin, I'll tell you the news, there's a show you have to attend." Bob Pelinka's voice on the other end of the phone drilled into Lin Fei's ears.

"What show?" Lin Fei was a little surprised, what was the program that Pelinka said that he had to participate in, the previous programs were all agreed by Lin Fei to participate, and some programs would choose to refuse because he really didn't have time.

"A talk show, the most famous talk show in the United States, what do you say? Man, you wouldn't know, would you? Pelinka quipped.

"Oprah. Winfrey? Lin Fei couldn't believe that this show would invite him, he used to like to watch this show very much, because this show is generally topic-based, focusing on practical issues closely related to the lives of ordinary people, trying to provide people with a kind of guidance through the discussion and analysis of typical cases, and will also invite some of the world's top stars to participate in the king of pop music, Michael. Jackson, pop diva Mariah Carey Whitney. Houston, etc. Lin Fei never thought that one day he would be on the most popular talk show in the United States.

"Yes, it's her, man, I can guarantee that your income will increase after being invited by her." Pelinka's voice was very proud, and in his opinion, his choice to become Lin Fei's agent was a very correct decision.

"Okay, Pelinka, my income will go up a bit, when exactly will it be, I've been playing a lot lately."

"Don't you know that it's when you play Chicago a week later? Oh my God, Chicago is Oprah's home base, and you don't know it, do you expect Oprah to fly to Los Angeles to record for you? Bush doesn't have this treatment either, okay, don't talk nonsense, it's better to play a good game and slaughter the bull before going on the show, hehe. Pelinka's smirk made Lin Fei's hairs stand on end.

Challenging the Chicago Bulls is the end of the Clippers' first three-game road trip in the East of the season, before they will have to face the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors before the Bulls.

And the process of the game is exactly like this, the away soldiers defeated the Pacers bloodlessly, and then went to Toronto, Lin Fei contributed 22 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in the new season's fifth triple-double data, leading the team to a 17-point victory over the opponent.

Lin Fei's more and more all-round performance has become a phenomenon in the league, and Lin Fei is the opposite of the little emperor James, James ranked second in the new season's personal triple-double list four times, and just after Lin Fei played the Raptors, James faced the Bobcats and also contributed a triple-double, and the two of them were invisibly engaged in fierce competition.

The best player of the latest week in the east and west was also won by Lin Fei and James again, this is the seventh week of the new season, but the two have won four times at the same time, such two have made many media feel crazy.

"Their quality is the best in the league, but we will not just throw in the towel, we will do our best to play and try to give the Chicago fans a victory, which is our greatest wish." Derrick Rose said in an interview with reporters.

And he did the same in the game, breaking the Clippers' guard line alone, but in the end he was outnumbered, losing in front of the strong Los Angeles Clippers, and losing the game at home by four points.

Winning the game with the Bulls is also the Clippers' 22nd win at the beginning of the season, and the 22-game winning streak also equals the second-longest winning streak in NBA history set by the Houston Rockets, and in the eyes of expert media, it is not impossible for the Clippers to break the horror of the Lakers 33 consecutive wins, and even some media have advocated that the Clippers will definitely trample the Bulls' 72-10 record under their feet, but the Clippers seem very calm and do not have any pride at all.

"Lin, it's time for you to get ready to go." Pelinka was afraid that Lin Fei would forget the time, so he specially reminded him.

When Lin Fei came to the Oprah talk show recording site in the Harpo Building, he saw this black woman who is known as the most successful black woman in the United States - Oprah. Winfrey.

Capable is Oprah's first feeling to Lin Fei, and being strong is Oprah's second feeling to Lin Fei.

The highest-paid annual TV personality in the United States smiled affectionately, "Welcome to Oprah." ”

"It's my pleasure!"

"This is a live broadcast, not a recorded broadcast, so you have to prepare well and don't let yourself lose face in front of the majority of female fans." Oprah said with a smile.

"Are you my fan, then?" Lin Fei's sudden response lifted the atmosphere up at once.

"Of course, I hope we have a happy cooperation in the future!"

Opple stretched out his hand and shook Cao Tian! The staff took Lin Fei to the backstage makeup artist for simple makeup and handed Lin Fei an interview question form, but the staff told Lin Fei that there were some questions that were not there, and Lin Fei needed to answer them on the spot.

After everything was ready, Lin Fei came to the front desk and sat on the big sofa, while Oprah sat on the other side, like a simple conversation between friends, this is not Lin Fei's first time on the show, so Lin Fei has no nervousness, everything is natural.

"Lin, are you ready?" Oprah inquired, and after getting Lin Fei's answer, he signaled the cameraman, lighting engineer, and all the staff to get ready.

"Dear viewers and friends, welcome to this episode of "Oprah Talk Show" Today, our topic is not your life, not your health, but an interview with a popular person, or an idol interview, let us welcome the core of the NBA Los Angeles Clippers with warm applause." As soon as the words fell, the audience at the scene burst into warm applause.

"Lin, first question, what did the NBA mean to you when you were younger?"

"It's nothing, or it's just a stage for appreciation!"

"Nothing, isn't it?" Obviously, Oprah couldn't believe Lin Fei's words.

"I'm a very realistic guy, and my physical fitness and height dictate that I shouldn't fantasize about the NBA, so the NBA was nothing to me when I was young!"

"So when did you first start loving basketball? And make you change your decision to develop in basketball and become a star in the NBA? ”

"Basketball has always been my favorite, but I decided to develop in basketball because my life was in extreme embarrassment, and in order to live I was approached by a producer who told me that I could be a star, as long as I went to make movies, I believed it, and then the final reality was that it was a lie, and I was so annoyed that I decided to forget about those fantasies about good down-to-earth efforts, but then Bonnie. Lovelin's was she who found me on the street, and she told me I could try it out with the Lakers. ”

"Such a great opportunity? You must not have believed it at the time, did you? ”

"Yes, especially since I was scammed a while ago, so I thought it was a lie at first, but Bonnie gave me the papers and I thought it might be true, so I decided to give it a try, and luckily I stayed."

"Can a document convince you? As far as I know, Bonnie is a big beauty, is it the reason for beauty? Oprah's temporary question caught Lin Fei by surprise.

"Well, I said, isn't there anyone who will believe it?" Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression, "Obviously, you don't believe it. ”

"I heard you are relying on beating Kobe. Is Bryant endorsed by Phil Jackson? Isn't it that moment that you feel like the god of fate has finally favored you? ”

"yes, I was so excited when I saw Bryant that I almost asked him for an autograph, and I'm no different from any regular fan, and then my three-point shot touched them, and you know, I have a lot of confidence in three-pointers."

"Your progress is obvious, you can see your progress in almost every game, do you have any recipe for success? A rookie who can only score three points goes to superstardom in less than two years. ”

"The secret to success? I also want to know, the fact that I am still on the way to success, Bryant said to me, as long as you work hard, as long as you don't give up, God will always think of you. ”

"That's why God often wears the number eight jersey because you always have God in your heart? I think I should do the same to make God like me more. Oprah's humor sparked laughter from the audience.

"There is always a price to pay for becoming famous, do you like your life now? Always living in the spotlight? There are always many reporters who will follow you. ”

"To be honest, I don't like this kind of life, I like a quiet life, I like a life without attention!"

"No, are you serious? What an unexpected answer! Oprah looked incredulous!

"Seriously, I really don't like it, I don't like being in focus, there's a lot of pressure to live under a magnifying glass all the time, I don't like that. What you see now is that I am real, and I am real on the pitch. But there are two sides to everything, and as you can see I don't want to give you any false impression, I'm not a good person, but I'm not a bad person either. I want to try to keep my old self and not change myself because I am famous. Be your truest self, enjoy playing, and enjoy life! ”

"Do you think your surname is strong? I heard that when you were with the Lakers, you used to have arguments with Bryant, and Bryant is paranoid and the whole world knows it, are you too?"

"It should be. To survive in this world, people must be ambitious, cheerful, and don't care. It's a mental quality, treating experience as a game. I have to face daily things, face life, I must have a strong psychological quality, I must be better than others. Bryant has always been my idol, and his surname is destined for success. ”

"You're saying you'll succeed too?"

"Why not? I believe that my efforts will lead to success. ”

"You, Shaq, Rashid, Ron, Andre...... With so many stars coming together, what do you expect from the Clippers this season? You must know that now you are popular all over the United States, and almost all the media can see your news. ”

"The basic thing is that we just play, we try to play every game, we are exhausted in training camp, you know, for us, the regular season is not a problem, the key is the playoffs, when we go into the playoffs what we do, no one wants to know what we did in the regular season, they already know that we are a good team, our goal is very clear, we are going to win the championship, and we are working for it, a clear goal helps us to work together! We haven't done it for two seasons in a row, our goal has never been so determined as this season, and we're just going for the title. This is the first time that Lin Fei has directly stated his expectations for the season in front of the public.

"Are you proud to have so many good teammates? They're all superstars! What do you think of such a team? ”

"That's great, I never imagined playing with so many superstars who are worthy of being inducted into the Hall of Fame! But each team is not decided by a few people, we are a team, an excellent team, good management and coaching staff, good logistics staff and of course excellent players, everyone is an important part of the team, this is the team, so everyone works hard together is the most basic! ”

"Then I'll ask you one last question about basketball, who is the best player in the NBA today?"

"I believe Bryant is still the best player in the game right now. His experience and overall talent are the best, and LeBron, Dwight, Tracy, Kevin are also among the best players in this league. ”

"Why don't you have yourself, are you not confident enough? I thought you would say that the best player is yourself. ”

"Can I tell you that there is a saying in China called modesty? Actually, I've already said that I'm one of them. Lin Fei replied half-jokingly.

"I'm going to ask you some sensitive questions, such as your past, like feelings, you won't mind, right?"

"Can I say no?" Lin Fei asked rhetorically.

"You're a Chinese-American, you grew up in Los Angeles, can you tell me if you've experienced racism? Even though the United States is a boiled country, this country still needs to do more. ”

Oprah's question was undoubtedly too sensitive to be sensitive, and Lin Fei was a little hesitant.

"It's Oprah's talk show, it's all real here." Oprah saw Lin Fei's thoughts.

"Yes." Lin Fei's answer was brief.

"Can you tell us more about that?"

…… The hour-and-a-half-long talk show entered the final 30 minutes, preceded by basketball and the dissection of his past life mainly around racial discrimination, and Lin Fei's admiration for Oprah deepened than before he had not been exposed to it.

"Now, let's get into the topic that All-American surnames are most interested in, ok?" Oprah asked with a smile.

Lin Fei had a black line on his head, obviously he had already thought of what it was.

"Let's take a look at the big screen first." With the voice, the huge screen behind Lin Fei appeared on the various highlights and celebrations of Lin Fei's competition, there were shouts, roars, raised arms, shouted, looked angrily, and collided with opponents, the atmosphere of the scene became warm again, and at this moment, the picture turned and cut directly to the audience, Scarlett. Johnson, Irene. Andrews, Jessica. Bell, Eliza. Cuthbert and Chen Xiyan's shots appeared one by one, and Scarlett's shots were undoubtedly the most, and finally VCR was frozen in the rookie season after the game in Dallas, Scarlett hid behind Lin Fei, and Lin Fei was in front of Ryan. Reynolds.

Looking at the expressions of the women in the VCR, Lin Fei felt a lot of emotion in his heart, this is the happiness of his life, but he can't give everyone public happiness, which woman doesn't want to accept open happiness.

"It seems that this resonated with Lin, and we all know Scarlett. Johnson is Lin's girlfriend and now let's have Scarlett. Johnson. Oprah's voice made Lin Fei stunned, Scarlett also came, turned her head and Scarlett walked out of the backstage with rhythmic steps.
