Chapter 33: Hold Hope in Your Hands!

As usual, Lin Fei came to the training ground early to start his new day of training, and his teammates arrived one after another, but during the training, many people did not have a smile on their faces but a sad face, as if they were about to harvest a failed news!

Lin Fei couldn't help frowning as he looked at his teammates, he knew that this was not a good thing, especially for them who were about to face the final challenge.

If the team is burdened with mental baggage or discouraged here, it will be difficult to bounce back in the game.

Lin Fei only knew the reason for this when he faced a group of reporters, because even if the Clippers defeated the powerful New Orleans Hornets, they still need to see the faces of the Warriors and the Nuggets, if the Warriors beat the SuperSonics, who are the bottom of the West, in the last game, and the Nuggets lose the game, then the Warriors will advance to the playoffs, And if the Nuggets defeat their opponents, the Sacramento Kings, who are in twelfth place in the West, then the Nuggets will lock up the playoffs, and no matter how the Warriors, Clippers, and Trail Blazers behind the Nuggets win, they will not be able to qualify for the playoffs.

The Clippers' chance of advancing only exists with the Nuggets and the Warriors losing all the games, and the opponents of both of them are in the bottom of the West in the face of the Nuggets and Warriors who are striving for the playoffs, there is basically no suspense, thinking of this, Lin Fei's brows are also furrowed.

But after a short thought, Lin Fei's face showed a smile again, when the assistant coach whistled to announce the end of today's training, everyone was ready to dare to go to the locker room, and at this time Lin Fei decided to do something.

Standing on the sidelines, Lin Fei gathered everyone around and clapped his hands gently.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say to you." Lin Fei looked at his teammates in front of him and smiled, "First of all, I want to tell you a good news, that is, we have a chance to qualify for the playoffs!" After finishing speaking, Lin Fei deliberately looked at the faces of his teammates, only a few of them showed a relieved smile, and most of them still looked tired and lacking interest.

"Smack!"

Lin Fei clapped his palms again to attract everyone's attention, "Guys, most of you are older than me, I'm just a rookie, but did you think two months ago that we would have a chance to qualify for the playoffs?" So now? Lin Fei paused and looked at his teammates and continued: "Now we have the opportunity to fight for the playoffs, and this opportunity is something we have worked hard for step by step, because of hard work, we have the opportunity now, if I tell everyone at that time that we have the opportunity to fight for a playoff spot, you will definitely laugh at me, 'Hey, rookie, put away your fantasies!'" But what about now? We've done it, we've really done it, and we've gone from the impossible to the possible, isn't that a progress? Some people say that Houston will end the winning streak after leaving Yao, but they use their crazy 22 consecutive wins to tell others that Houston is strong, and what about us? Again, everybody thinks we should mess around and go fishing early instead of being a goddamn spoiler in this alliance and messing up the whole alliance. ”

"If you look at our record in the last two months, we've only lost three games, and we've only had three games to get our chances. There are a lot of people who say we're delusional, but the reality tells us that we're halfway through the so-called delusions, and if we win, we're going to go to the playoffs, we're going to the big games, not going on vacation early......"

"Even if you win, you still want the Nuggets and the Warriors not to win, is that possible? Don't lie with your words, it's not for your own bullshit declaration! Margety's voice directly interrupted Lin Fei's words, and his words once again annihilated the effect of Lin Fei's speech.

Lin Fei didn't even bother to bother with Margeti, glanced at his teammates in front of him, and said lightly: "If we have such an idea on our backs now, then all our efforts will be in vain, is it just to devalue the draft picks in New York's brainless hands?" We need to work hard, hold hope in our own hands, not bury it with our own hands, we have worked hard, we have paid, even if the result is failure, but the process is always worth remembering and cherishing, if we succeed, our madness will be remembered for generations to come, and they will say, 'This is magical power!' Shouldn't we try? Relax everything we need to win, then we go to fight for this possible victory, instead of being a deserter and accept the arrangement of defeat, I hope we can succeed, even if the opponent is the Hornets, even if their opponent is the weak team, what we need is to do everything we have to do! ”

Not far away, Mike Dunleavy had a relieved smile on his face, and in his eyes, Lin Fei was moving towards a leader, not just a scorer.

Lin Fei left his thoughtful teammates and walked to the court, picked up the basketball and started his own shooting, and there was a non-stop swishing sound.

From almost saying goodbye to the playoffs before Lin Fei's arrival to the hope that is now at hand, so many games, many times, relying on Chu Linfei's tireless running and tireless key goals, the team has been able to come here step by step.

His important surname in the team is known to everyone, his talent is not very high, but he uses his hard work to improve, and uses his own efforts to win game after game, and he never stops fighting every game.

And he's just a rookie who didn't make it to the draft. Now he is the top scorer in the league, the top key killer!

At this moment, the leadership temperament is slowly revealing in Lin Fei's body.

All the final games of the NBA's 2007-2008 regular season were played at 8 p.m. on April 10, U.S. time, and the competition for playoff spots was fierce like never before, so that the final game attracted the attention of countless people.

The Staples Center, Los Angeles Clippers vs. New Orleans Hornets, Pepsi Center, Denver Nuggets vs. Sacramento Kings, Golden State Oakland Center, Golden State Warriors vs. Seattle SuperSonics, and Rose Garden Center, Portland Trail Blazers vs. Utah Jazz, these four games will determine the final playoff spot in the West.

The Staples Center was packed, and every corner of the arena was filled with wild shouts for the team.

In the locker room of the home team's Clippers, Mike. Dunleavy is giving a passionate speech: "You are here to win, believe in your teammates and believe in yourself, repay your fans with victory, you on the court, what I need is 100% effort, we Clippers will tell the world in our own way, we are not jokes, we are not illusions, we are here for victory, for the final playoffs, hold hope in our own hands, as for the end we pay without regrets!" I'm sure you can! Come on! ”

Dunleavy threw the tactical board on the ground with a roar and raised his arms high, "Come on!" ”

"Come on!"

The sound traveled through the Clippers' locker room to the Hornets' locker room.

"Chris, they want to win, they want to win! Ha ha! Tyson Chandler's face was full of his sneer.

"Tyson, let's not underestimate the enemy, the Clippers guys are not easy to deal with, let's not care what they think, we have only one purpose." Paul paused and looked at his teammates in the locker room, "Victory!" ”

The voice was soft, but Paul's faith could be heard.

With the appearance of the Hornets, the players of the Clippers stood in the player tunnel one by one and waited to play, and Lin Fei was arranged to be the last, and this arrangement undoubtedly demonstrated Lin Fei's status in the Clippers.

"This is the Imperial Court, the Imperial Court! We're going to broadcast live the final game of the NBA's 2007-08 regular season, when the Clippers, played by Chinese-American player Lin Fei, host the New Orleans Hornets, who are second in the West! I'm the narrator Yu Jia! Yu Jia's smiling face appeared in front of the national audience on the other side of the ocean.

"Let's welcome us with cheers, the main defender...... Sam...... Kassel ...... "With the shouts of the DJ on the spot, Cassel trotted out, and the Clippers fans at the scene gave the veteran Kassel a huge cheer.

...... "Finally, let us welcome our six-foot-eight-inch, No. 8 jersey with the warmest applause, the craziest shouts, and the most energetic cheers...... Forest...... Forest...... Feifei ............! The hoarse voice of the DJ on the scene brought the Staples Center cheers and frenzy to the first wave**.

Listening to the shouts of the DJ on the scene, Lin Fei trotted out, high-fived the fans on both sides of the player's tunnel with both hands, and stepped onto the court in crazy cheers.

With the end of the U.S. national anthem, the game is about to begin, and the Clippers are quietly sitting in their chairs waiting for the game to begin.

"It's really a crazy thing, I like this kind of competition, everyone is saying that Lin is a fantasy, and I never think so, only stupid people would suspect a guy with crazy persistence, I want Lin to slap those who despise and laugh at him with his actions one after another!" Barkley is still a strong pro-Lin faction, and today he is no longer sitting next to his old partner Kenny Smith, but former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy.

Van Gundy looked at Barkley beside him, "Charles, I agree with you, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and the Clippers are such people!" ”

As the referee's whistle signaled that the players on both sides were on the stage, Lin Fei was the first to stand up, put his hands in the air, and slowly stacked his hands one by one, "Hold hope in your hands, one, two, three, come on!" ”

"Come on!"

The voices of the Clippers players echoed around every corner of the Staples Center.

In the middle circle, Tyson Chandler vs Paul Davis, this is a jump ball with almost no suspense!

A whistle blows, and the game is officially on!
