Chapter 116: Lin Fei's Time
Chapter 116: Lin Fei Time
Crawford was also a little surprised by the growth of Lin Fei's defensive level, in just such a short period of time, Lin Fei's defense has improved so rapidly, even if Kobe Bryant is in front of him, he is confident to score the ball, so he is still full of confidence in the face of Lin Fei's defense.
The continuous cross-step stimulated Lin Fei's defensive adaptability, and Crawford suddenly changed his direction with a big change of direction, and when he was full of confidence and thought that he had thrown Lin Fei away, the look of surprise immediately filled his face.
Lin Fei quickly pulled out his left hand, snap!
The hand made intimate contact with the basketball, and at the same time, the whole person passed directly from the left side of Crawford, who was facing him, in the direction of his right foot, leaving Crawford who still couldn't believe it.
Lin Fei quickly caught up with the basketball that was out of Crawford's control, and quickly went straight to the frontcourt, this broken ball not only did the Knicks players not expect, but even the Lakers were a little surprised, so it caused Lin Fei to dribble the ball into the front court alone.
The applause for the easy one-handed dunk was far less enthusiastic than the just broken ball.
"I'm sorry, I was careless, so I ......" Lin Fei looked at Crawford a little helplessly and said, just like the ball ran in front of him Lin Fei's hand, such words and expressions immediately made Crawford's face as cold as ice.
"Rookie don't be complacent!" Crawford's cold comeback once again went over Robinson's basketball, and he must get that face back.
Jeff Van Gundy, who has always advocated the supremacy of defense, was very pleased to see Lin Fei's defense and said: "This is an excellent beautiful defense, in my opinion, steals are actually only a secondary, from a professional defensive point of view, Lin's defensive footsteps are very professional, it seems that Lin is very defense rather than blindly focusing on offense, I have always emphasized that only Lin's stature is the basis of a good defensive player, and defense is also the embodiment of wisdom, compared to offensive people who can defend, I think they can gain a foothold in this league!" β
"Jeff, excuse me, I know you like players who love to defend, but now I have to explain the game."
Mark Jackson interrupted Van Gundy's defensive commentary, Crawford did not carelessly choose to attack immediately this time, but carefully looked at Lin Fei's defensive position between his waist and abdomen, looking for the best way to attack, obviously Lin Fei's defense just stimulated him.
Lin Fei looked at Crawford's dribbling, although the difference between the left and right hands was not so obvious, Lin Fei could still distinguish it subtly, and then remembered what Dennis Johnson taught him in his mind: "In this era of soft eggs, touching the opponent's butt can be judged as a foul, but I still have to tell you, the defense must be tough, stick to him, like sticking to your hot lover, the best distance is one hand, you can easily touch the body of the defender at such a distance!" Then make physical contact with the opponent as much as possible, forcing the offensive players to dribble. The last thing is to stretch out your hand to interfere with the shot, as for the ball thrown, it doesn't matter, as long as you do the work in front of you, whether you score or not, you are a good defense! β
So Lin Fei decided to paste it, the whole person pressed Crawford's dribble space, especially his right side, Crawford obviously didn't expect Lin Fei to suddenly lift up and press his dribble, the basketball was forced to change to his left hand, under Lin Fei's oppression, it looked a little embarrassed, Lin Fei still didn't rush to steal, because the rash shot and steal was likely not to break the ball, but made him lose his defensive position and lead to defensive failure.
"Then use your big mouth, don't be polite, directly harass the opponent, you don't need a gentleman on the court, others won't be polite to you!" This is something that Chamberlain has always emphasized.
"You look like a hulking penguin, can you stand still?"
"Shut up!" Crawford roared directly, and Lin Fei could even feel Crawford's bad breath. Crawford quickly pulled up the shot with a sharp step back, and Lin Fei used his hand to make the final interference.
"This ball is unreasonable, Lin Fei's defensive strategy is very good, of course, it is not good to defend in the face of strong players, but in the face of Crawford's body and strength, such a defense is a smart choice, on the contrary, Crawford's shooting choice is very irrational!" Zhang Lili immediately explained, and as Zhang Lili said, such a forced shooting percentage can be imagined, of course, the possibility of scoring when he feels good is not ruled out, but Crawford in this state does not belong to this list.
The basketball didn't go into the basket as he hoped, but went far away from the basket and smashed directly onto the rebound, and Staples gave Crawford his own laugh.
"It's a really great shot!" Lin Fei did not hesitate to praise himself.
Phil Jackson is not only happy, but with some worry in his eyes, Lin Fei is improving almost every day, and has a good attitude, although he is not as paranoid as Kobe, but it is definitely not comparable to most of them, accurate shooting, positive defensive attitude, good ball quotient, these are like being born for the triangle offense, but until now, Kupchak has not been able to reach a contract extension with Lin Fei, such a player will definitely become an excellent player in time, if he can't be in the Lakers, then the future Lin will be a threat to the Lakers.
The game continued, the Lakers offensive basketball was handed over to Odom, Lin Fei continued to run with the angry Crawford, Turiaf suddenly raised the free throw line, and Famar used Ariza's block to cut into the bottom line from the right side 45 degrees to the bottom left corner, Lin Fei took Odom's block and then used Turiaf to shake off the defense.
Famal ran into place and immediately received the ball, and the basketball did not stay in his hands for more than a second and passed directly to the top of the arc.
Lin Fei just took advantage of Turyaf to block and went straight to the top of the arc, steadily caught the pass and threw the ball in the cheers of Staples.
"Lin! threeβ¦β¦ points!β The hoarse shouts of the live DJs in Staples led the cheers of the fans.
"That's a beautiful three!" Eliza Cuthbert jumped to her feet and shouted with her fists, the towering twin peaks on her chest swaying up and down, and one couldn't help but worry about the quality of her clothes, such a move obviously did not escape the sharp-eyed live director.
The appearance of the charismatic beauty Eliza immediately appeared on the big screen, "Oh, even Eliza Cuthbert cheers for Lin, will Scarlett be jealous?" Mark Jackson jokingly.
Of course, Scarlett also saw this scene, and immediately stood up and applauded with a slight pout.
"Hey, Lin, you're really a blessing, you must know that Eliza used to love Bryant the most!" Odom hugged Lin Fei and said excitedly.
"I think this is Lin Fei's time!" Van Gundy, with his rigid face, had a smile on his face that did not resemble a smile.
"This is the game I want!" Lin Fei muttered to himself. Combined with the conversation with Dunleavy that day, Lin Fei was even more determined to have this idea in his heart.
