Chapter 158: Tying the winning streak
-- Lakers' Staples, the arena that also belonged to Lin Fei's home court and was conquered by Lin Fei, looked at Lin Fei quietly under the basket at this moment, and couldn't believe that the violent dunk just now came from Lin Fei.
David. Li dodged Lin Fei's eyes, and Lin Fei's dunk just now took a blow to his confidence.
O'Neill ran in, "Lin, you, him. Mom did a fantastic job. Looking at O'Neal who jumped up and tried to hit his chest to celebrate, Lin Fei dodged it with interest, he didn't want a tragedy.
A big towel flew on the Clippers bench all of a sudden, and Rasheed Wallace yelled at Lin Fei on the court in an exaggerated manner, "Lin, you are the best, the best!" ”
Barkley laughed out loud, he likes Lin Fei's every offense and defense, but such a violent dunk is undoubtedly easier for Barkley, who likes to collide and be tough, to make his adrenal secretion accelerate.
Kenny. Smith glanced at Barkley, who had an exaggerated expression, and pouted helplessly, he had to admit that Lin Fei's dunk was very exciting.
"If Lin is still with the Lakers, we will definitely win championships for many years in a row, definitely."
"West, you always say that if the truth is that Lin is already our enemy, he will threaten us to compete for the O'Brien Cup, and he will steal our winning streak."
"But......," said the little boy named West, who had only said one, but he didn't know what else he could say.
Seeing Lin Fei's dunk, it was initially because of his defensive failure, Kobe Bryant looked at Lin Fei coldly.
"Tee!" Kobe Bryant's voice was cold to David. Lee shuddered, and a somewhat depressed David Lee quickly sent the ball to Kobe.
Lin Fei's intuition told him that Kobe Bryant's attack would definitely continue this time, not only because he was covered by Lin Fei just now, but Kobe Bryant quickly advanced to the half, and Lin Fei did not back down and forced it directly.
Looking at Kobe's continuous swaying, Lin Fei did not rush to move, but kept admonishing himself in his heart to be steady.
Like his name, Black Mamba, Ko Ru spit out the most lethal venom, and a thought flashed through Lin Fei's mind, facing Kobe's cross step Lin Fei's center of gravity seemed to be shaken, and such an opportunity was undoubtedly a great opportunity for Kobe.
A sprint, Lin Fei looked reluctant to defend, as if the defense line was about to be stabbed, at this moment Kobe Bryant made a sharp stop, the basketball passed under his crotch to his left hand, his left foot retreated, his right heel was up, and the whole person was pulled up directly, he was already familiar with this offensive method.
At the moment when the basketball was about to be shot, there was a trace of emotional change on Kobe's cold face, and Lin Fei, who was obviously shaken away by him, quickly appeared in front of him, and his raised right hand was directly sealed.
"Tempt me?" Such words immediately drilled into Kobe's mind, "Even so, you can't prevent me." With a low roar in his heart, the whole person began to float to the left.
Drift shots?
Everyone can see that Kobe rarely uses this trick, so the difficulty of shooting is much greater than leaning back, Lin Fei was also a little surprised, in his impression he only encountered a few times when he trained with Kobe Bryant in the summer, and this was the first time he encountered Kobe Bryant using such a shot in an official game.
However, Lin Fei did not give up, and drifted in the air like Kobe, and followed the ball in Kobe's hand tightly with his right hand.
stubbornly threw the ball out, and the high arc made Lin Fei's block an impossible event, but the ball with a high arc after the difficult drift failed to get into the basket.
Kobe Bryant's eyes were closely followed by the basket, and the moment the basketball popped up on the basket, the grim expression on Kobe's face did not change much, and Odom caught O'Neal's block and took the defensive rebound down.
The Clippers' counterattack was immediately launched, Dragic's speed was surprisingly fast, this time he did not wait for his teammates to settle down, in the face of Kobe's defense, a sudden change of direction pulled the ball and turned to clean Kobe, an almost juggling pass made Kobe's coldness even more compelling, when Kobe turned and tried to chase the defense, Dragic had easily picked the basket.
"Give me the ball!" Kobe Bryant shouted at Farmar again, and Phil was off the court. Jackson couldn't help frowning, this is Kobe, sometimes he uses his stubbornness to bring victory to the team and sometimes to bring defeat to the team.
And today?
Many Lakers fans have doubts in their hearts.
Facing Lin Fei again, Kobe's offense still failed to succeed, Lin Fei haunted him like his shadow, and played a fatal role in interfering at the moment he shot.
David Lee was lucky to get the frontcourt rebound, but in the face of Odom, Hibbert, and O'Neal, David Lee lost confidence.
Seeing David who got a frontcourt rebound under the basket. Li Linfei's eyes stared at the ball in his hand, Lin Fei believed that he would not dare to shoot in the face of the Clippers' powerful interior line, and would definitely choose to pass.
Odom and Hibbert at the first time against David. Lee chose to pinch the attack, as long as the pinch was held, David, who was at a significant disadvantage in height. Lee thinks about shooting on the inside, and shooting is a luxury, and even passing the ball will be very dangerous.
David Lee saw Famar on the outside as if he saw a lifesaver and immediately passed the ball over.
Look at David. In the direction of Li's pass, Lin Fei, who was already staring at him like a gift, immediately jumped out.
So fast!
Although the fans at the scene had already seen Lin Fei's speed, they still couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
Syllable!
Lin Fei's palm appeared on the line of the pass.
"Break the ball! Lin appeared in the right place. Excellent defensive awareness, he's really fast like a cheetah. "Ray Jay. Miller exclaimed.
Lin Fei was about to launch a fast attack, Kobe Bryant forced up, Lin Fei had to stop, and slowly advanced to the front court under Kobe's interference.
Landing at the top of the arc, he did not pass the ball to Dragic to organize the attack, but rhythmically dribbled the ball and carefully observed Kobe, Kobe Bryant's face was gloomy, his whole body exuded coldness, and his eyes stared at him as if he wanted to devour him.
Kobe Bryant's desire to fight at the moment is so strong that Lin Fei can feel it, "Come by yourself or pass the ball?" Lin Fei couldn't help but ask himself in the depths of his heart.
Touching Kobe's eye again, he made a choice.
The rhythm of the dribble began to increase, and the center of gravity of his body was shaking slightly, all of which was telling Kobe that he was going to attack, Kobe Bryant retreated a little bit, staying at a just right defensive distance and waiting for Lin Fei's next move.
Syllable!
The basketball slammed to the floor, and Lin Fei's whole person's momentum reached its maximum at this moment, and when he was about to collide with Kobe's body, he suddenly changed direction and took a big step.
One step came to Kobe's side.
Although Lin Fei's step is very powerful, it is not enough to completely throw Kobe Bryant away, not to mention Kobe Bryant, who is in a state of madness at the moment.
Sticking to Lin Fei, Kobe Bryant was ready to hit Lin Fei with his chest, although he knew that this would not make Lin Fei's dribbling rhythm change much, but it would have an impact on Lin Fei's impact, and then he slid back to block Lin Fei's offensive line again.
The idea was good, but he underestimated Lin Fei at this moment, just after Kobe Bryant collided with him, Lin Fei suddenly stopped, and Kobe just slid to the side and back, and a large vacancy immediately appeared between the two people.
For Lin Fei, such an empty space was enough for him to complete the shot, but just as he was about to shoot, Ariza pounced from the side, and Lin Fei had to change his idea of shooting, and continued to accelerate to the inside line to leave Ariza who was trying to help defend behind.
Facing Lin Fei again, David. Li still had a sense of fear in his heart, and the supplementary defense he made seemed a little timid, Lin Fei smiled inwardly, and threw David Li, who was a little hesitant, behind him with a reverse step with the ball in both hands.
Facing the empty basket, Lin Fei easily jumped the ball in.
Off the field Phil. Jackson's face was ugly, David. Lee had to be substituted, David. Lee's mentality is no longer suitable for staying on the court, and Jackson needs to rearrange the team's offense and defense.
"Is this one man single-handedly taking on the entire Lakers defense?" Barkley's seemingly questioning tone could not hide his pride and pride in the slightest.
"Obviously, yes, but in the end, David Lee's defense didn't seem resolute, and if it was Paul or Anzu Ganglin's last shot, maybe it would have been affected." Lei Jie. Miller said.
Coming back from the timeout, Phil Jackson re-replaced the Twin Towers Paul. Gasol and Anzu. Byram and Old Fish Fisher, while Mike Dunleavy also uses Tyson. Chandler replaces Roy. Hibbert, Odom with Artest, and Andre Miller for Dragic, who was doing well.
However, back on the court, the Lakers' offense still seems to be disorganized, and there is only one status quo, and that is the Kobe mode, which is familiar to Lakers fans.
Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball through the half court, he still chose to come by himself, even if he has missed several consecutive offensive misses, he still can't change his mind, this is the paranoid Kobe.
Artest directly pasted it, his footwork flexibility was much worse, and when Kobe Bryant threw off Artest, Lin Fei appeared in front of Kobe again, and then Artest and Lin Fei, who were chasing after him, formed a bag for Kobe.
Although Kobe Bryant staggered between Lin Fei and Artest and forced his way through, Kobe, who lost his center of gravity, still chose to force a layup, although he dodged O'Neal's block but could not escape Tyson behind him. Chandler.
Chandler fanned the ball hard beyond the three-point line like a smash in volleyball.
Lin Fei judged the landing point of the basketball and immediately chased after it, grabbing the ball before Ariza did.
"Bryant is playing so irrationally, he's trying to challenge the league's best defensive Clippers with his individual offense, and if Bryant continues to cling to this kind of offense, then the Lakers' record defense game will likely fail." Lei Jie. Miller spoke the truth and expressed the fans' concerns.
Phil. Jackson's face grew more and more ugly, and Mike Dunleavy hid a smile on his face.
Lin Fei passed the ball to Andre Miller and immediately ran to the front court.
Andre. Miller's points per game average this season has dropped further to just 10 points and is likely to drop below double digits by the end of the season, but that doesn't negate his role with the Clippers. Miller still has the ability to average 20+ points per game, but there are too many scorers in the Clippers, he needs to play more of a playmaker's role, he doesn't care what his stats are, he just cares about the team's victory.
Making eye contact with Lin Fei, Miller nodded, and advanced to the front court in no hurry, Fisher did not do much detail about Miller's defense In his opinion, Miller is 99% likely to be direct passes, but to his surprise, Andre. Miller suddenly rushed over.
Such a move caught Fisher off guard, and he was not ready to defend and could only watch Miller kill inside.
On the other side, Ariza immediately defended Miller, and Fisher went to defend Artest, who did not stay where he was but ran to the three-point line and looked ready to meet Miller.
Kobe Bryant's Lin Fei suddenly shook and then accelerated, Lin Fei, who had no ball in his hand, was so fast that Kobe Bryant couldn't do anything if he wanted to mark, not to mention that Lin Fei's running position was a nightmare for all defenders, Lin Fei cut to the inside line, O'Neill and Chandler formed a stake to help Lin Fei block the interceptor, Lin Fei directly bypassed the inside line and went straight to the bottom right corner.
And Miller, who rushed to the inside, flicked his wrist, and the basketball went straight to Lin Fei in the bottom corner of the right side.
When Lin Fei ran to the bottom corner for three points, the basketball appeared in front of him just right.
As soon as he stretched out his hand to catch the pass steadily, there was no Lakers player within two meters of Lin Fei's body at this moment, and Lin Fei would not let it go in the face of such an opportunity.
Jumping in the air, gently flicking his fingers, the basketball left his palm and flew into the air, all of this is so familiar to Lakers fans, and Lin Fei in his eyes seems to be wearing the purple and gold No. 8 jersey like two years ago.
The basketball arced wonderfully over Staples in the spotlight of Chamberlain, Goodrich West's retired jersey.
"Huh"
The clean and neat sound of wiping the net made Phil. Jackson closed his eyes in pain, this kind of tactic Lin Fei was also a tactic he used for a long time when he was with the Lakers, especially when Lin Fei could only shoot, he used this trick to throw the Lakers and win a lot of games.
With Lin Fei's three-point shot, the Clippers' lead reached 20 points, although it was still in the first half, but the 20 point hole was undoubtedly huge for the Lakers.
When the full-time whistle blew, the Lakers failed to fill the hole.
As long as Kobe Bryant holds the ball, Artest and Lin Fei will wrap up, although Kobe Bryant has made a few shots, but more of an iron, while the Clippers are not in a hurry and impatient, everything is based on tactics, so that the Lakers' loss becomes reasonable, and Kobe pays the price for his personal model.
"Next time, I'll take the victory!" Kobe Bryant said coldly and turned to leave.
Looking at Kobe's back, Lin Fei pouted helplessly, this is the paranoid Kobe, the Kobe he is familiar with.
The Los Angeles Clippers officially reached a 33-game winning streak and the most in NBA history, and a win over the Celtics next time would make new history.
And will the mighty Green Shirts say yes?
Everyone is looking forward to their encounter.
