Chapter Twenty-Four: Dream Goal!
Chapter Twenty-Four: A Dream Goal!
March 9, 2008, this is a seemingly ordinary day, but it happened to be the Clippers facing the Dallas Mavericks away, which is not the point, the point is that this day has provided the media with enough focus to write countless gossip news. Starting a regular season game, the Dallas Mavericks played at home against the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Clippers, who had just been stopped by the Houstoners to end their seven-game winning streak, faced the Mavericks, who had lost to them twice this season, wanted to regain their winning feelings, and the Dallas people were destined not to surrender easily.
The American Airlines Center is still packed, and the Dallasians are looking forward to their team beating the Clippers, especially the damn rookie. Before the game, Lin Fei had already seen the gap between the team's record and the eighth Nuggets in the West, the gap was so big that the Clippers had to go all out to win to create a miracle of advancing to the playoffs, Lin Fei looked at the lively audience, imagining the scene of the playoffs, he didn't want to appear in front of the TV to watch the game, he hoped that he and his team could stand on the big stage of the playoffs.
And the current opponent, although he has defeated twice, Lin Fei still knows the strength of the Mavericks, he will not underestimate the strength of the Mavericks because of two victories, and the Mavericks, who are currently ranked second in the West, have the greatest hope in addition to wanting to reach the top of the West is to defeat the rookie Lin who brought them nightmares.
"Is it stressing you?" Mike Dunleavy looked at Lin Fei with firm eyes and clenched fists tightly and asked.
Lin Fei turned to look at his coach, the coach who promised him a lot of things when he was still playing for the Lakers, and smiled slightly, "Head, there is pressure to be motivated, isn't it?" I've beaten them and I'm sure I can still do well. ”
Lin Fei's expression became confident, and Melcom Dunleavy smiled: "Actually, you shouldn't think too much, play every game, enjoy every minute on the court, as for the playoffs, we just have to work hard, but this is all based on enjoying the game, we just need to play every game seriously, as for whether I can or not, it doesn't matter if I can or not." ”
patted Lin Fei on the shoulder, turned around and walked into the locker room with a smile, Lin Fei looked at the roof of the American Airlines Center, "If you work hard, you won't regret it!" After saying this, Lin Fei walked out of the player's tunnel and walked into the field, his teammates were warming up, Lin Fei picked up a ball and shot directly.
Swish!
Lin Fei smiled.
"Lin!"
This is a female voice, the voice is very beautiful, Lin Fei turned around, it turned out that Eliza Cuthbert was calling him, Lin Fei did not walk over but smiled, and casually threw a ball again, still in.
"Lin, I'll cheer you on!" Eliza Cuthbert looked at Lin Fei and shouted loudly, so loudly that it naturally attracted all the attention of the reporters on the sidelines.
"Thank you, I will!" Lin Fei nodded and threw a ball again.
At this moment, a woman was wearing a large baseball cap with a low brim, apparently to cover her face so that people could not see her face clearly. There was also a wide black sunglasses under the baseball cap that almost covered half of her face, but her long blond hair and surname figure were enough to attract the attention of men, and as soon as the woman walked into the stadium, she saw Eliza Cuthbert's lens on the big screen, muttered something in her mouth, and looked down at the ticket in her hand.
After the warm-up, the game is about to start, the stadium lighting staff hit two bunches on Nowitzki and Lin Fei's bodies respectively, under the illumination of the flashing lights, Lin Fei with his hands behind his back exudes a unique charm, at this time the woman wearing a baseball cap raised her head slightly to look at Lin Fei in the spotlight, and gently curled her lips.
"So handsome!" Coming from behind her, turning slightly sideways, the afterglow saw the owner of the voice, Eliza Cuthbert. There was annoyance in his eyes, and he immediately got ready.
When the camera returned to the court, the referee blew the whistle to signal that the game was about to begin, and Chris Carman and Dampier, who prided himself as the No. 1 center in the West, stood in the center circle and prepared to jump the ball.
The Clippers sent the starting lineup of Carman, Powell, Chandler, Lin Fei, and Kassel, Wilson Chandler, who is also a first-year rookie player with Lin Fei, came to the Clippers and quickly became the starter, although a large part of the reason is because Mike Dunleavy wants Mobley to provide firepower for the team on the bench and let Lin Fei return to the most advantageous scoring guard position, but it is different to deny Chandler's aggressiveness in the game, whether it is defense or offense, Chandler is also considered by the Los Angeles media to be a powerful helper for Lin Fei in the future.
The Mavericks fielded veteran lineups Dampier, Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Jason Terry, Kidd.
With a whistle, the basketball was thrown into the air by the referee, and the egg still had an overwhelming advantage on the jump ball, and the veteran Kidd steadily held the ball to advance the Clippers halfcourt.
Avery Johnson, the young general in front of the Mavericks bench, stood on the sidelines with his hands on his waist expressionlessly, Mark Cuban had given him the order to win before this game, and Mike Dunleavy on the other side looked at the court with a calm face.
Although the Mavericks' offense has a lot of points, they still trust the German Nowitzki the most, so Kidd quickly transferred the ball to Nowitzki, who is in a good position inside.
But in order to defend Nowitzki, in this game, Dunleavy deliberately let Carman and Powell switch defenses in order to contain Nowitzki, after all, Dampier's offense is completely heaven and earth compared to Nowitzki, when Nowitzki catches the ball and tries to attack Carman with strength, but when he hits Carman behind him with his back, he can clearly feel that he is completely inferior in tonnage compared with Carman, the center.
Nowitzki immediately made a turn, and the Golden Rooster Reading shot with the symbol, but Nowitzki's first shot was gloriously slid out of the frame under the interference of Kaman's long arms. Just when Powell was struggling to grab the board, the whole person was knocked down, and then it was "Bang!" The hoop roared, accompanied by Dampier's roar, and the entire American Airlines Center was not ignited instantly.
Mike Dunleavy can only reluctantly accept this situation, after all, there are gains and losses, and there are really no players in the team who have height and a certain amount of defense.
Lin Fei looked at Dampier who was beating his chest and roaring angrily and pouted, dunks are one of the few offensive ways for Dampier, who prides himself on being the No. 1 center in the West.
"Is Eric proving to his boss that he's the No. 1 center in the West? He's just facing a 205-year-old player to complete a dunk, and if he completes a dunk on Shaquille's head one day, he's going to kiss Mark Cuban. Charles Barkley quipped.
Kenny Smith was so accustomed to Barkley's state that he didn't answer and looked at the game.
Powell serves, and the elderly alien Cassel pushes forward with the interference of the old demon Kidd.
"Rookie, today you will leave the victory!" Josh Howard has been so good lately that he briefly forgot about those two experiences.
"Really?" Lin Fei looked at Josh Howard in front of him and sneered. Perhaps because he checked the possibility of entering the playoffs with Mike Dunleavy before the game, coupled with Howard's provocation, Lin Fei's spirit was very excited at the moment, and he decided to do something.
Leaning on Josh Howard, who was about his height, he raised his right hand high to ask for the ball from Kassel.
Seeing Lin Fei asking for the ball, Cassel immediately passed the ball without any hesitation.
"Attacking with the ball? Hum! Josh Howard snorted coldly, he still had a lot of confidence in defending Lin Fei's ball-holding offense, so he didn't rush to interfere with Lin Fei's catching the ball but waited for Lin Fei's next move.
Lin Fei took the ball and immediately turned around, facing Josh Howard head-on, holding the ball in both hands and looking at the defense with his eyes on his waist. With a slight smile, the basketball landed and quickly shuttled back and forth under Lin Fei's crotch, with an astonishing frequency.
"Is it okay to dribble?" Josh Howard snorted coldly, a forward step, and the whole person tried to stick up, and then interfered with Lin Fei's dribbling, but Lin Fei slid sideways, and did not cut in with the help of Howard's upward pressure but continued his dribble, but Lin Fei's eyes were obviously provoking Josh Howard.
Josh Howard was secretly glad that Lin Fei did not take the opportunity to break through, and everyone knew that in the face of the current Clippers, as long as Lin Fei was blocked, they could win, so Josh Howard wanted to complete this task at home under the watchful eyes of the coach and the owner.
Compared with the running position, Lin Fei's ball-holding offense is indeed much weaker, but is it so easy to block Lin Fei?
Waiting for Josh Howard to readjust his defensive focus, Lin Fei smiled contemptuously, "I'm going to attack!" The low but faint tone of voice showed his confidence, which made Josh Howard angry.
"Rookie, a few big words!" When Josh Howard roared, Lin Fei accelerated on the spot and rushed directly to Josh Howard's left side, just when the two people's bodies were about to touch, Lin Fei suddenly made a sharp stop and turned around with his left foot as the axis, it seemed that he was trying to pass Josh Howard directly, Howard hurriedly stuck to him and forced a sliding step, but even this still failed to stop Lin Fei's turn, because Lin Fei's whole body suddenly pulled back and successfully turned from Josh Howard's right side when Josh Howard slid to the left.
Josh Howard only heard the sound of the basketball hitting the ground, and the defensive center of gravity leaning on Lin Fei was also lost because of Lin Fei's sudden turn, and the whole person was very embarrassed, when he barely saw Lin Fei, Lin Fei passed by him like the wind.
And after Josh Howard, Lin Fei did not stop his pace and chose to shoot, even if his shooting rate was very high, Lin Fei still did not choose but chose to impact the inside, many people are puzzled by Lin Fei's choice, obviously there is a better offensive opportunity and an easier way to score, and Lin Fei chose to impact the inside line that he is not good at at at the moment, this move makes many people have a skeptical attitude.
At this time, Terry on one side and Nowitzki on the left side of the interior line immediately chose to wrap Lin Fei, Terry quickly stretched out his hand to the ball in Lin Fei's hand sideways, and Nowitzki took a step forward to further block Lin Fei's offensive space, and fully opened his arms to prevent Lin Fei from choosing to pass.
Nowitzki and Terry's bag gave the Clippers players an open spot, and they immediately began their own runs.
Looking at Terry and Nowitzki Lin Fei who came up from the bag, they didn't stop their impact, and they didn't even slow down, and at the moment when Jason Terry stretched out his hand to break the ball, Lin Fei's left wrist flicked, and the basketball rebounded on Lin Fei's back. And breaking the ball is one of the easiest ways to lose the defensive position in the defense, especially gambling steals, which is why Iverson's steal statistics are great, but the defense is criticized by the coach, because he always rashly chooses gambling steals to cause himself to lose his defensive position, and now Terry is in this situation, he didn't expect Lin Fei to be able to dodge calmly without slowing down.
Lin Fei gritted his teeth, once again a back dribble and immediately shook his left hand, and the basketball drilled under Lin Fei's crotch again, connecting a change of direction, at this moment the basketball seemed to be stuck to Lin Fei's hand, and because of Terry's rash shot, he and Nowitzki's bag was exposed, and it was this gap that gave Lin Fei a moment.
An acceleration forced his way through the gap between Nowitzki and Terry's double bag. This pass was completed in just a few seconds, and it was an extremely difficult pass in the eyes of the audience, and the Dallas people forgot for a moment that they should have booed.
"Lin, I love you, live beautifully!" Eliza jumped up excitedly when she saw Lin Fei's juggling three, once again testing the quality of her clothes.
In the eyes of many people, Lin Fei should have the option to shoot, but to everyone's surprise, Lin Fei did not choose to shoot, but continued to choose to impact the basket, and rushed straight towards Dampier, the first center in the West under the basket.
"Lin, who has never been easily satisfied, decided to continue his dream strike, the first center in the west, are you ready?" Charles Barkley is also rare not to be a spoof, because at the moment he wants to focus on watching the game rather than commenting.
Lin Fei's face showed full confidence, obviously not completely sure, Lin Fei would not choose such an offensive method.
Dampier had just stood up, Lin Fei arrived in front of him, only to see Lin Fei suddenly slow down, his legs tightened, his left foot stepped heavily, and the whole person jumped up like a rocket in front of Dampier, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and raised the basketball high.
Lin Fei's action once again made Dallas boo, because Lin Fei, a damn rookie, looked down on people too much.
"Dunk? Rookie, you look down on people too much! Dampier jumped up with a roar, and his big hand directly slapped the basketball in Lin Fei's hand.
Many Clippers fans in front of the TV expected that Lin Fei would appear directly through the scene of Dampier dunking, but no, but Lin Fei did not disappoint them.
After more than half a year of training, today's Lin Fei is no longer the original Lin Fei, his physical fitness has been significantly improved in the training of the soul ring, especially his physical coordination, when Dampier's big hand and the basketball in Lin Fei's hand were approaching, Lin Fei took the high ball with the strength of his waist and abdomen, held the ball in both hands, and avoided Dampier's block with a difficult lever in the air, and then picked the ball into the basket with his left hand.
"Huh!"
The basketball passed through the net with a beautiful scraping sound, and the boos at the American Airlines Center fell silent for a moment, but after a brief silence, there was another huge boo.
"It's so beautiful, it's a fantastic goal, it's enough to go down in history, and the whole Mavericks team becomes Lin's background!" This is the voice of countless Clippers fans, and Eliza Cuthbert jumped up again, and the shaking twin peaks made some unscrupulous Dallas male fans look sideways and secretly swallow their saliva.
And the woman with the baseball cap snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Eliza Cuthbert.
After completing this wonderful pull-up layup, Lin Fei glanced at Dampier, then shrugged his shoulders and ran directly to the backcourt.
There is no doubt that the morale brought by Dampier's strong dunk at the beginning was completely destroyed by Lin Fei's goal.
Avery Johnson on the sidelines smiled bitterly, he was sure that Lin Fei would definitely not be able to do it if he let Lin Fei come again, but now it happened truthfully, but he couldn't lose confidence, not to mention that the game had just begun, and immediately yelled at the court, "Defense, defense, cheer me up, the game has just begun!" ”
"Hey Charles, look at your saliva, why you can't restrain yourself from women." Kenny Smith's voice called Barkley back.
"Hell, I didn't, I'm just looking for someone, if Scarlett was there, the last time two people appeared in Memphis at the same time caused a storm, but unfortunately I didn't hear about it, you must know that gossip is a human surname, I like the war between two women." Barkley said with relish.
Speaking of gossip Kenny Smith also came to the surname: "You forgot, there is also Erin Andrews!" ”
"Who's that?" Suddenly, the big screen caught almost everyone's attention.
"Wow, what a perfect gossip highlight, it turns out that Scarlett is sitting right in front of Eliza Cuthbert, I can guarantee she heard Eliza's crazy cheering!" Barkley exclaimed, too.
It turned out that the woman with the baseball cap was Scarlett, because the baseball cap was so big that she needed to lift the baseball cap up to watch the game, unfortunately, just now a fan was relatively huge, and when he stood up and walked through the middle of Scarlett and Eliza, his hand accidentally brought Scarlett's baseball cap, and the live director was originally focused on Elisa, and Scarlett was captured at once.
Lin Fei also quickly noticed this, and laughed bitterly, he could only be regarded as unaware, the last time Scarlett was in Memphis, he was jealous, and the result of jealousy was obviously that Lin Fei was unlucky, and now it came again, with a depressed Lin Fei decided to turn depression into motivation!
So the calf is going to be sad again!
