Chapter 105: Losing the Lady and the Soldiers!
-- Mike Dunleavy's face was even more worried, at the beginning of the game, the Spurs offered a dominant oppressive defense, Bruce Bowen still sat on his full-time job as usual and stuck to Lin Fei like a piece of kraft candy, and Lin Fei looked completely restrained by Bowen in the first three minutes of the game.
But Vicky didn't think so at all, in the opening three minutes, Lin Fei's offense** was very low, and compared with Lin Fei this season, he was completely like a changed person, he didn't have any contempt but was more worried, Lin Fei is the offensive core of the Clippers and the most efficient offensive point, before the game, he has been considering whether to use Bowen to defend and at the same time need to arrange the rest of the team to assist in defense, but now the facts seem to be more than enough for Bowen to deal with Lin Fei alone, and the experienced man always feels that there is something wrong, looking at Lin Fei on the field** Vicky couldn't help but fall into thought.
Yesterday's game in Dallas consumed a lot of physical strength, and today it was back-to-back or facing the Spurs with Stone Buddha Duncan, although Lin Fei has his own physical training system and doesn't have to worry about his physical strength at all, but the physical strength of his teammates makes him worried, if his teammates' physical strength is not enough, only he is left alone, and then this game is dangerous, Lin Fei didn't want the Clippers' 17-game winning streak to be ended in San Antonio, so the way he thought of it was to use his teammates to attack more when they had enough physical strength at the beginning, so that they could contain the firepower of the Spurs, and secondly, they could make the Spurs, who may also be short of soldiers and major generals, fall into a physical disadvantage, after all, there are many veterans in the Spurs team now, and once the Spurs' physical fitness is in crisis, he can take over the game more easily, which is much better than letting his teammates' physical strength be consumed as much as he himself at the beginning. This is Lin Fei's little plan, so Lin Fei has always been very low-key at the beginning, and he didn't make a single shot.
At the beginning, the Clippers' offensive points were scattered to Andre Miller and Ron Artest, Andre Miller, the current No. 1 Iron Man in the league, came to the Clippers in the new season, and his scoring statistics dropped a lot, from 17 points per game to 12 points per game when he was 76ers, but his shooting percentage and assist statistics have improved significantly. The average assists per game is as high as 8.9 and currently ranks third in the league, this game Miller's sudden offense also disrupted the rhythm of the Spurs, because Tony Parker was injured and George Hill, who was the starter, could not resist Miller's strong body at all, and Artest also used his signature bulldozer-style play to maintain the Clippers' offense, although the Clippers were slightly inferior on the field, but the gap in the score was not very large, and when the first quarter of the game ended, the Clippers who were playing away were only 2 points behind the Spurs.
"There are a lot of confusing things about today's game." Hoffman said with confusion.
"Yes, today Tim, the old guy, is like going back to '97, shooting through the dunk turned the Clippers' interior upside down, scoring 15 points in the first quarter, how long has it been since I've seen Tim like this?" Bill Wharton said with a smile, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on Lin Fei's body.
And Andre Miller of the Clippers also took on the offensive task of the Clippers unusually, and taught George Hill a good lesson in the first quarter, it is not so easy to take on the starter, and Lin Fei is just the opposite, only one shot in the first quarter, and chose to pass the ball more often, is it that yesterday's physical exertion was too great and has not recovered yet? I heard that after yesterday's game with the Dallas Mavericks, Lin and Justin's rumored girlfriend Jessica Biel met and left in a car together, and they also shared ......"
"Stop, stop, this is NBA commentary, not your gossip." Bill Wharton interrupted Hoffman with a smile, "Lin chose to hand over the offensive ball to his teammates in the first quarter, I think he is thinking about the next game, not to mention experiencing back-to-back in Texas, even if it is an ordinary three consecutive away games, the average team will definitely lose one or two games, the Texas triangle is a terrifying existence in the league, and the next game of the Clippers is facing the Texas Xiaoqiang Rockets, I think Lin should consider it for this reason, the front rest until the last fourth quarter Lin can have enough physical strength to deal with the Spurs, if so, I think Mike Dunleavy has a great strategy. ”
And as Bill Wharton said, after Lin Fei's explanation, Mike Dunleavy also figured it out, and Andre Miller and Artest performed very well in this game, so Mike Dunleavy also agreed with Lin Fei's idea, and when Miller left the court, Mike Dunleavy did not replace Lin Fei but used Lin Fei as a point guard, using Jr Smith and Steve Novak as offensive firepower, Lin Fei did not live up to Dunleavy's arrangement and repeatedly attracted the defense to send good passes, and Smith and Novak also had a good shooting rate, Despite Ginobili's excellent comeback, the Clippers trailed by just four points at halftime.
In the first half, Lin Fei only shot four times and hit two of them, such data made countless fans can't believe it, this is a huge difference from Lin Fei, who averaged 18 shots per game in the new season, but this is exactly the case, but after Lin Fei's score on the data column, there are dazzling eight assists, if you still maintain this style of play, it is not surprising that in the second half of the game, Lin Fei will easily break his career single-game assist record.
The twenty minutes of the half-time break in the commentary box quickly passed, and the Spurs fans at the A&T Center still understood the passion of their Spurs, and only they knew the goodness of the Spurs.
At the beginning of the second half, everyone saw Lin Fei, who was different from the first half, a Lin Fei who returned to his previous role.
Andre Miller steadily dribbled the ball to the front court, at this time Lin Fei stood outside the three-point line, and in front of him was still Bruce Bowen, a difficult guy, Lin Fei did not evade the attack this time, took the pass and faced Bowen Lin Fei jumped directly without the slightest warning, and the sudden dry pull-out jump shot made Bowen stunned, he didn't expect Lin Fei to choose to attack at the beginning of the second half, although Bowen wanted to block Lin Fei's sight, but Lin Fei's sudden increase in bounce and shot height made Bowen helpless.
The basketball quickly flew past Bowen's fingers to the basket less than ten seconds into the second half.
"Bell!"
A crisp sound made Spurs fans breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Fei's shot popped out after smashing into the basket, Lin Fei, who thought he was steadily advancing, was ready to return to defense, but God played a joke with him, Tyson Chandler didn't expect the basketball to pop out of the frame, and he was unprepared to watch Duncan take the rebound off his head.
"It's a shame I thought it was going to go into the frame and God played a joke on all of us, and of course Spurs fans would love to see it, look at their cheers, tut-......" Bill Wharton said with a laugh.
After Lin Fei's dry pull-out jump shot unfortunately missed, the Spurs immediately launched a counterattack, and today's Spurs were determined to hit Duncan, and the basketball was once again handed over to Duncan, Duncan turned his back to Tyson Chandler and drilled into the basket again by playing a turn, and the Spurs pulled the difference to six points.
Miller looked at Lin Fei and immediately passed the ball in his hand again, Bowen was about to make a steal, but Lin Fei's arm was directly strangled in the cradle, "Do you want to break the ball?" Lin Fei said to Bowen, a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Boy, don't try to score easily!" Not to be outdone, Bowen shot back, a faint blow to his elbow, fortunately, Lin Qiling dodged a lot, but he still felt the power of Bowen's elbow strike.
"Then it depends on whether your defense is qualified enough, I was really embarrassed to let you get injured last year!" Lin Fei's playful smile turned into an apologetic look, and the ability to instantly switch feelings made Bowen sigh that Lin Fei could go to the Orcas competition.
With a cold snort, Bowen was like a dog skin plaster sticking to Lin Fei as before, and his mouth kept breaking thoughts.
"Do you dare to vote directly?" Bowen was slightly startled and immediately jumped up, although Lin Fei didn't throw it just now, it didn't mean that he wouldn't this time, so he jumped up to defend, but when he jumped up, he found that this was just a feint by Lin Fei, just when he was thinking about how to remedy it, Lin Fei really jumped.
Syllable!
Lin Fei's arm made contact with Bowen's, and a sharp whistle followed.
And the premeditated Lin Fei made a slight adjustment in the air and threw the ball, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were full of confidence, all of which was so dazzling for Bowen. And the jump height can be ignored, he has already landed in his mind and can't help the evil intentions, maybe for Bowen is an "ordinary" defense, and his feet seem to be inadvertently placed under Lin Fei.
Today's Lin Fei was very careful from the beginning, he didn't want to be hit again, when he threw the ball, he caught a glimpse of Bowen's small movements, "Do you still have this move?" It seems that last season left you with little impress! Lin Fei still fell down with a muttering sentence in his heart, but his right foot changed direction very normally.
"Ahh A scream came out, but the owner of the scream was not Lin Fei but Bowen, and the basketball crossed an arc in the center of the A&T weight and drilled into the net, but not many people paid attention to this, and everyone focused on Lin Fei and Bowen at the three-point line.
The referee immediately called the team doctors of both sides on the field, and Lin Fei slowly stood up after holding his hands on the ground with his smile and walked in front of the referee.
"Sir, Bruce he wanted to hit me with black feet again, I was almost scrapped, my career was almost affected, it's scary to think about, it's hard to believe that Bruce is still like this, playing with him I think I need to wear iron shoes, I was injured by him last season and he still wants to do this season, oh my God, if I wasn't lucky, I'd have been stretchered out of the game." Lin Fei's voice was full of emotion, and with the excellent body language referee, he immediately had a good impression of Lin Fei.
"We will enforce the law impartially, rest assured!" The referee patted Lin Fei on the shoulder and walked to the technical table to watch the replay.
"There was an accident on the court, Lin's three-point hit also caused Bruce's foul, but Lin stepped on Bowen when he landed, it seems that Bowen was not lightly injured, but I don't think anyone will blame Lin, you must know that putting your feet under the team should definitely be prohibited, and it is clear from the slow mirror that Bowen deliberately stretched out his black foot under Lin Fei, and Lin was lucky to step on Bowen's instep when he fell, but Bowen's luck was not good, we can see that Bowen's foot was deformed in an instant." Bill Wharton was strongly condemned.
"Yes, Bruce's image has not been very good, many players say that Bruce likes to play black feet, and there are many players who fall under his black feet, Vince Carter, Rashad Lewis and even gentlemen like Ray Allen have publicly complained about Bruce's bad quality, and Lin Fei also suffered from Bowen's black feet last season, but Bruce was also very sad to be injured, is it ......" Hoffman said as he thought of something, turned his head to look at Bill Wharton, and the two looked at each other and seemed to understand something.
After the referee watched the replay video, it was unanimously agreed that Bowen was consciously blackfooted, and did not hesitate to give a second-level malicious foul and was directly expelled from the game, although Bao Wen could not play the game without giving a second-level malicious foul, but the referee's punishment undoubtedly made Lin Fei even more happy.
Lin Fei immediately returned to the court after the team doctor examined him, and Lin Fei was very relaxed standing on the free throw line, although the boos of the entire arena were enough to engulf him.
The Spurs' iron coach ** Vic was even more excited, and after hearing the referee's decision, he rushed directly to the sidelines and yelled at the referee: "Damn, Bruce is the injured person, don't you see?" That guy is happy like a clown in a circus, so you can't see it? ”
"Greg is complaining to the referee, looking at his appearance as if he wants to fight with the referee, this kind of behavior is estimated to eat a technical foul, in fact, I think it is normal for Bruce Bowen's penalty, although Lin may be deliberate, but Bowen's mentality must be corrected, otherwise there will be many people who will be recruited, although few people have been recruited now."
"Bill, you're right, now every guy will be more careful in the face of Bruce Bowen's defense, no one wants to get hurt, but even this can't reduce the penalty for Bruce, a second-degree malicious foul will bring Bowen an additional ban, but looking at his appearance, it is estimated that he will miss a few games, so the ban is not a big problem." Hoffman looked at Lin Fei who was standing on the free throw line and said, a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered softly: "Lin, you cunning guy!" ”
"The Spurs are so depressed, and I think Bruce is even more so! His good intentions were shattered. Bill Wharton said with a smile.
If they knew about the Three Kingdoms, they would definitely think of China's saying - lose their wives and lose their troops.
