Chapter Sixty-Eight: Crush the Boo!
Derrick Rose's face was no longer colorless, but the bruises near his temples undoubtedly showed the anger in his heart at the moment.
He is a proud person, he must not allow himself to be humiliated by Lin Fei, the unsuccessful guy, again and again, even if Lin Fei is now a recognized star in this league, he still does not allow himself to happen again.
"Are we on the street court? Derek should remember that he is a playmaker for a team, not a lone wolf on the pitch, and even though he scored the ball I don't appreciate that style of play. He forgot about his teammates, and such an action is unforgivable for a playmaking defender. Bill Wharton, as a senior, commented on Derrick Rose's choice of singles again.
"Bill, you're right, Derrick used 22 seconds of offensive time just now, the ball never left his hand, his teammates stood there like dolls, although he scored just Derrick successfully scored, but his offense can be seen to be very embarrassed and even full of luck, you must know that shooting has always been his weakness." Hoffman also expressed his opinion.
"What a lame shot!" Lin Fei pursed his lips and said, although the voice was not loud, it was enough for Derrick Rose to hear clearly.
Although there is indeed a lot of luck in his shot after the breakthrough just failed, Rose is not ready to admit this, "Isn't your breakthrough lame?" Rose asked rhetorically and began to run towards the backfield.
"Kirk, go guard against your people, don't switch guards with Derek, guard against him, don't give him a chance to shoot easily!" As the coach of the Bulls, Skels is obviously dissatisfied with the situation on the court, although Derrick Rose has just scored the ball, but he is still not satisfied, especially on the defensive end, so he doesn't want Rose to continue like this, after all, victory is the most important thing for the team and not personal grievances, just now Rose singled Lin Fei It took 22 seconds for Skyles to make up his mind, so he put the hope of defending Lin Fei on Hinrich, the former leader of the Bulls.
Hinrich nodded at Skeles and greeted Derrick Rose, signaling him to defend Lin Fei below, although Derrick Rose was displeased, he still didn't dare to disobey the coach's arrangement, but put the displeasure in his heart.
Lin Fei did not blindly choose to play alone, after all, he still knew Kirksinrich's defensive strength, and Artest's bulldozer play directly pushed Lore Deng and sent the ball into the Bulls' basket.
And the Bulls' offense has also become changeable, no longer blindly letting Derrick Rose execute singles, the scene of the game has also become better, the scores of the two sides continue to rise, when the first quarter of the game into the second team competition, the Bulls' bench depth is reflected, especially in defense, the Bulls' interior bench Tyro Thomas, has sent three blocks in a row, and the morale of the Clippers has also been greatly affected.
When the fourth minute of the second quarter went on, Mike Dunleavy frowned and asked for a long timeout, by which time the Los Angeles Clippers were already eight points behind the Bulls, the largest margin of difference between the two sides since the opening period.
"Andre Jordan, in addition to being tougher, you also need to be calm, don't jump easily, doesn't the earth's gravity have no effect on you at all? You're not on the damn moon but on Earth now, and the inner line needs your guard, not turned into a sieve under your defense! Mike Dunleavy didn't show any emotion at all, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Andre Jordan's performance in the last few minutes.
Andri Jordan bowed his head like a child who made a mistake.
"JR, your offense is great and impeccable, but where is your defense? Lost in Los Angeles? Ben Gordon: Score goals when you want to score on you, don't you care at all? Mike Dunleavy took aim at J.R. Smith again.
J.R. Smith said sorry to Mike Dunleavy, and although J.R. Smith scored seven points in just seven minutes, he allowed Ben Gordon to score nine points.
"Mario, you're doing well, keep it up!" Mike Dunleavy's cold face softened, Chalmers's performance just now was indeed remarkable, and such a small praise for rookies will help them better play their strengths.
Chalmers nodded a little shyly, "Coach I will!" ”
"I don't want the Chicagoans to be sent away with ridicule, what we need is victory, next Lin you replace Jr, Ron you replace Wilson, Tyson you replace Roy Hibbert, Andre Jordan you learn more about how Tyson defends the interior, Mario you continue to organize the offense......" Mike Dunleavy quickly arranged.
The referee blew the whistle to signal that the timeout was over, and both sides should return to the field.
“one! two! three! go!go!go!” The Clippers shouted as they folded their hands together.
"Mike Dunleavy was obviously very unhappy with the team's performance just now, and he changed a couple of main players to keep Andre Jordan on the court, who had just not performed well, and I don't think it was a good decision." Bill Wharton had some doubts about Mike Dunleavy not replacing Jordan.
'Yes, young players need encouragement and opportunities, but in a situation like this, I think it's better to try to let them learn rather than play so that their confidence doesn't take a bigger hit. Hoffman agrees with Wharton.
The Clippers' offensive possession, Chalmers, the most valuable player in the NCAA final four finals, steadily dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, stretched out his thumb to indicate that the team's rhythm was slowing down, and the Clippers players ran unhurriedly and looked like they were not in a hurry for the team's offense.
Mike Dunleavy crossed his arms and smiled, Chalmers was only a second-round pick, but his four years of college experience had made him more mature and sophisticated, and he did a good job of controlling the team's tempo.
When the offensive time entered fourteen seconds, Lin Fei suddenly pulled and stopped and then accelerated, such a sudden swing caught Kirksynridge off guard, and Chalmers's passing skills were reflected at this moment, Lin Fei just ran to the direction he expected to run, the basketball happened to come to him, and after catching the ball with both hands, Lin Fei stopped, did not act immediately but slowed down.
At this time, Lin Fei's position was one step outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and as his body stopped, Xinrich had already caught up again.
Lin Fei didn't choose to attack casually, and looked at Jordan, who was in the inner position and grabbed Tyson Chandler's position, Lin Fei waved to Andre Jordan after thinking about it, and this pure big man inside line saw Lin Fei's gesture and immediately pulled it out.
With Andre Jordan's lift, Lin Fei accelerated violently, and with Jordan's cover, he successfully threw off Hinrich and then accelerated from the left side to the inside, it seems that Lin Fei did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, the Bulls' Tyro Thomas, looked at Lin Fei who rushed in, and immediately turned around to help defend the past, he didn't want the forbidden area he was guarding to be invaded at will.
Thomas, who is 208 tall, has incredible physical qualities, but he doesn't seem to be so harmonious in both the power forward and small forward positions, because he doesn't have the body and strength of a power forward at the power forward position, and he doesn't have the agility and pace of pace at the small forward position, so this creates his incoordination.
In the face of Teyrus Thomas, Lin Fei did not dare to be careless, he saw Thomas's terrifying bounce and defensive awareness off the court, and the afterglow swept Andre Jordan, who was covering for him, had cut from one side to the inside.
"Andrey!" Lin Fei shouted that he was not afraid that his thoughts would be exposed, and with a flick of his wrist, the basketball rebounded in front of Andre Jordan one by one, the height was just right for Jordan to catch, but Lin Fei did not stop his inner cut, when Tyro Thomas's turned to pounce on Jordan, Lin Fei raised his arm and motioned for Jordan to pass the ball back.
Jordan immediately passed the ball back to Lin Fei, Thomas immediately turned around and pounced on Lin Fei again as if he was being played, Lin Fei received the ball and slapped it heavily, leaning on Thomas with a big stride to look like Lin Fei was determined to pay attention to Thomas alone.
Lin Fei swept away, Andre Jordan did not wait in place, but rushed to the basket to see that he was ready to impact the rebound, the corners of his mouth rose, and he accelerated violently again, and the whole person had reached the basket, it seemed that Lin Fei was too deep, Thomas couldn't stop the excitement in his eyes, in his opinion, Lin Fei was already in his bag.
"Andrey!" Lin Fei shouted again and threw the ball behind his head, and his sudden move caught Thomas off guard.
And Lin Fei immediately let go of his body after passing the ball, he knew how big Andre Jordan's impact was, and he didn't want to be accidentally injured by his teammates, while Thomas was unwilling to turn around and prepare to defend.
Andre Jordan took a big stride, the big man of more than seven feet pulled up on the spot, and his raised arms caught Lin Fei's just right pass, and it was Thomas who was coming, Andre Jordan was not afraid, the whole person was getting taller and taller, his head was even higher than the basket, and with a roar, Thomas smashed the ball to the basket, and Thomas and Jordan's bodies were knocked out after a hard impact.
Syllable!
The basket was shaking violently, and Andre Jordan was like a bloodthirsty shark at the moment.
The United Center fell silent again, and Thomas slumped to the floor, looking embarrassed.
"Terrifying physicality, just now Andre Jordan's head is far above the basket! It's incredible! Bill Wharton muttered to himself, and in his impression that the big man still had such a perverted physical fitness, it seemed that it could be traced back to Zhang Dashuai in ancient times.
"I think the Los Angeles Clippers really made a good deal, just a little cash in exchange for a huge potential inside, but Andre Jordan still needs to grow, this growth period is not short, as the saying goes, big men only look long in three years, I hope the Clippers can be patient to cultivate and not be too Andre Jordan." Hoffman said seriously.
"Lin, thank you!" Andre Jordan shouted excitedly, such a dunk is not only happy for the audience and teammates, but even he himself feels extremely happy, he rarely has such opportunities in the game, and now he is very happy to have such a shot.
"It's your consciousness is good, keep up the good work, you can do better!" Lin Fei smiled lightly, patted Andre Jordan's buttocks and turned around and ran towards the backcourt.
Andre Jordan nodded excitedly, after all, Lin Fei is recognized as the boss of the team, and the young Jordan is very happy to be recognized by the boss of the team. He took his own big stride and ran to the backcourt.
The excited Jordan made another contribution on the defensive end, and Derrick Rose's terrifying change of direction and breakthrough layup inside was directly taken off by Jordan, and the cheers of the United Center stopped abruptly, everyone's mouths were wide open, and they couldn't believe their eyes at all.
"Andre Jordan is completely excited, and the Bulls are going to weigh the possible cost of breaking inside!"
As Hoffman said, Andre Jordan burst out with tremendous energy at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, while Tyson Chandler rarely enjoyed leisure, Jordan was like a tiger down the hill to block rebounds on the inside, and for a while, the Clippers with interior security found an opportunity to hit two consecutive three-pointers to erase the difference, and the eight-point lead disappeared in just over two minutes, making Skeys look ugly, and Skeys called a long timeout with a cold face.
When the timeout returned, Kirksynridge, the former leader of the Bulls, stopped the Bulls' decline and injected new strength into the demoralized Bulls.
Switching offense and defense, the excellent Chalmers got more playing time, originally this time period was already Miller's appearance, but today Dunleavy was obviously very satisfied with Chalmers's performance, so Chalmers continued to be on the field and was not replaced, after steadily controlling the ball to the front court, seeing Lin Fei reaching out for the ball, Chalmers passed the ball without hesitation.
Kirk Sinrich didn't dare to be careless at all, and Xinrich frowned when he looked at the confident Lin Fei, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing.
The basketball seemed to be connected with Lin Fei, and Yu Guang looked at the running position of his teammates, and saw Andre Jordan, who was eager to try inside, and Lin Fei shook his head and signaled not to cover.
"Singles?" Hinrich whispered to himself.
Lin Fei's eyes looked at the basket in the distance, and the speed at which the basketball in his hand hit the ground slowly became faster.
Xin Li Qi completely captured Lin Fei's eye movements, immediately pressed up to interfere, and tried his best to block Lin Fei's breakthrough line with his open arms, if Lin Fei broke through, he still had the confidence to stop it, but in the face of Lin Fei who was running, Xin Li Qi had no bottom in his heart, so he had to compress Lin Fei's space and compress it again, and he didn't dare to leave Lin Fei a little space.
In the face of Hinrich's close pressing, Lin Fei's right hand slapped heavily, the basketball rebounded to his left hand after hitting the ground behind him, and the left hand slapped hard, the basketball returned to his right hand again, and the continuous back dribble controlled his body, but every step back Hinrich pressed a step, unconsciously Lin Fei was two steps away from the three-point line, it seemed that Lin Fei was completely locked by Hinrich, and the fans of the United Center released their passion, they wanted to see Lin Fei eat the scene.
Lin Fei frowned slightly, obviously Xinrich's super aggressive defense made him a little unexpected, the basketball hit the ground in the back again, Lin Fei turned around and put his back against Xinrich's chest.
"Back singles?" Skyles on the sidelines was a little elusive about Lin Fei's choice, you must know that at this time Lin Fei was not on the inside but two steps outside the three-point line, and after looking at the twenty-four seconds timer, he set his eyes on his favorite Hinrich.
Lin Fei knew that the offensive time was not too much, and it had already entered ten seconds, if it was someone else who spent ten seconds controlling the ball in his hand, Mike Dunleavy would have scolded angrily, but in the face of Lin Fei's situation, he had a calm face, and he always felt that Lin Fei would not let him down.
At the same time that the basketball made contact with the ground, Lin Fei made a force on his back, and a hot pain came from Xin Liqi's chest, Lin Fei's strength was completely beyond his expectations, and when he was thinking about whether to make an offensive foul, Lin Fei turned around sharply and made Xin Li Qi panic.
He didn't want his defense to be ruined, so he took a step back against Lin Fei and used his not strong chest to resist Lin Fei who turned around and cut in.
Lin Fei was also taken aback, he didn't expect to be stopped by Xin Liqi at all, but after being frightened, Lin Fei did not stop his attack, but instead leaned on Xin Liqi's left foot as the axis and pulled his right hand, and the whole person turned away from the other side.
Lin Fei also underestimated Xin Liqi's determination a little, but he didn't expect Xin Li Qi to still pester Lin Fei, looking at the distance between the two sides, Lin Fei was thinking about it.
Suddenly there was a sudden stop, both hands lifted the ball, and the sudden shooting action made Sinrich can't help but jump, and when he jumped, he realized that he had been deceived.
Looking at Xin Liqi who pounced, the corners of Lin Fei's mouth hooked an arc, kicked the ground with both feet, and leaned his arms up.
Despite his best efforts to dodge, Hinrich was unable to dodge.
Syllable!
The palm of the hand and the arm are in one touch.
Honk!
The referee immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.
The whistle pulled Hinrich back to reality completely, frustrating his impulsive defense, but it was too late.
Lin Fei, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly adjusted his body's center of gravity in the air, and his ears were full of boos from the United Center, all kinds of boos.
Looking at the basket in the distance, his eyes shot a determined look, "Go ahead!" With a soft call, he threw the ball in Hinrich's remorseful eyes!
Basketball flew to the basket under the Bulls' six championship flags.
The boos couldn't stop it from moving forward.
Swish!
The crisp sound of entering the net shattered the boos of the United Center, the fluttering net flowers were dazzling in the spotlight, and Derrick Rose's eyes outside the three-point line were full of disbelief, although he had long heard of the horror of Lin Fei's ability to play four points, but when the facts happened in front of him, it was another shock.
Lin Fei raised his head and looked at the retired jerseys of Jordan and Pippen hanging above the United Center, slowly lowered his head and looked at the surrounding audience, and after smiling like a demon, he raised his right index finger and gently put it to his lips. And the left hand makes a three-point gesture in the air!
The scattered boos of the United Center are gone again!
