Chapter 42: Lin Fei is full of resentment!
Since getting the shackles of the Bears, the Lakers have been very vigorous, soaring all the way in the second half of the regular season, and the team is also very experienced in the playoffs, whether it is the core Kobe Bryant or head coach Phil Jackson.
Although the Clippers have beaten the Lakers in the late regular season, most of them are still not optimistic that the Clippers can win the first round of the playoffs from the Lakers in the first playoff derby in Los Angeles.
"Although the morale of the Clippers has been greatly improved by the miracle of the second half of the season and the thrilling victory in the final round, their playoff experience is very inexperienced and lacks interior and good bench players, and there is undoubtedly a huge disadvantage in front of the Lakers with Pau Gasol, Anzu Bairam, and Lamar Odom on the inside, plus a serious lack of experience, so I think the Clippers will not be able to pass the first round series, and all aspects show that the gap between the Clippers and the Lakers is obvious, and most importantly. The Lakers are second in the league in defensive efficiency after acquiring Gasol. This is undoubtedly fatal for the Clippers, who lack offensive firepower and can only splice Lin Fei to open up the situation, in the brutal playoffs. Defense is a key factor in determining how far a team can go, and beyond that, the coach is far superior to Mike Dunleavy compared to Phil Jackson. In the studio of Imperial Court Television, Zhang Li analyzed before the start of the Western Los Angeles derby playoffs.
This time, Zhang's reasonable analysis has rarely been recognized by fans.
But the process of the game was not as smooth as imagined, the Lakers' defense brought pressure to the Clippers was not ordinary, Lin Fei's shooting rate dropped by more than ten percent, but it still had more than forty percent, which was a pitiful low shooting rate for Lin Fei and carried the Clippers on the road.
"Damn, it's a foul, my hand was beaten as swollen as a steamed bun, Mr. Referee, did you see it, did you see it!" Lin Fei pointed to his right wrist with his left hand, and there was a faint boo in the Staples Center, it is now the first round of the Western Conference playoffs for the Clippers to challenge the Lakers, and the Los Angeles derby has reached the last moment.
The big screen began to replay the situation just now, Lin Fei directly relied on his height advantage to cut inward, and Kobe Bryant was unceremonious in the face of his younger brother, and after being deceived by Lin Fei with his signature false turn and turn, Kobe Bryant slapped Lin Fei directly on the wrist mercilessly.
"Sir, I can see very clearly, it's a beautiful cover! If you continue, I don't mind giving you a technical foul. The bald referee Crawford said in a somewhat impatient tone.
"Damn, you're ruthless!" Lin Fei scolded in a low voice and turned to leave, he didn't want to completely offend this bald guy, everyone knew that Duncan was sent off for a bullshit reason, according to Duncan, he got a second technical foul because he laughed on the bench.
"You just had a serious thug foul, and the whole world saw it!" Lin Fei looked at Kobe Bryant in front of him and began to have a resentful thought.
Kobe Bryant glanced at his former little brother Lin Fei coldly, "Rookie, this is the playoffs, not the preseason, I want to complain about your kindergarten!" β
"Hell in the playoffs, you sent me a foul!" Lin Fei has obviously been unwilling.
Bang!
Kobe Bryant directly rolled over and leaned back one by one, and Lin Fei jumped to defend, but Kobe's shot was still beyond his blocking range, and he could only watch the basketball fall into the basket.
At 102:97, the Lakers led by five points, and there were forty seconds left before the end of the game.
"Rookie, welcome to the playoffs!" Kobe Bryant once again didn't save face for Lin Fei, and Lin Fei gritted his teeth tightly.
Breaking through with the ball, at this time Pau Gasol appeared on Lin Fei's offensive line with a lateral movement, but he appeared a little late, almost just after standing firm Lin Fei bumped into it, Gasol fell backwards with a scream, and Lin Fei threw the ball in the air with a short and negligible stagnation.
Roar!
Lin Fei gave Kobe Bryant a chest-beating demonstration in celebration, but the referee's whistle brought Lin Fei back from the roar.
"What? Offensive fouls? Lin Fei couldn't imagine that Crawford actually blew him for an offensive foul.
Dunleavy on the sidelines jumped up and yelled directly at Crawford, in fact, he would see that the ball on the big screen was at the point where it could be blown or not, so Crawford's penalty was not completely blown randomly.
"Don't think you'll have such good luck in the next game!" Lin Fei glared at Kobe Bryant viciously and said, he didn't give the former boss any face, obviously this game made him very unhappy to lose, he had a chance to win, in his opinion, the referee ruined the game.
Lin Fei was full of resentment, and Lin Fei, who was sitting on the press conference stage, still couldn't calm the resentment in his heart.
The media reporters in the audience were all human spirits, and they were secretly happy when they saw Lin Fei's face, and they were all vying for the first question.
A young white woman reporter seized the opportunity, "Lin, what do you think about this game?" β
Everyone pricked up their ears and waited for Lin Fei's answer.
Lin Fei sat up straight, glanced at the audience, looked at the crowded reporters, and said with a cold smile, "The Lakers are very good, they play very aggressively, their advantage is obvious, they have 6 players playing on the court. β
The last sentence is a highlight, a highlight without a doubt.
It was precisely because of the complaint at the post-game press conference that Lin Fei received a fine of $25,000 from the league for attacking the referee for the first time.
"Crawford Juggernaut" - the official harmony does not mean that the other media are willing to harmonize this incident, the title of ESPN is Crawford Juggernaut: everyone is 100% sure that the Clippers will be eliminated, and the result of the game is the same, but the process is far from it, the great bald Crawford has ruined a classic game again!
And this is also the opinion of most of the media, just in the chaotic media saliva, Lin Fei, who held back his breath, came to the Staples Center in anger.
Tonight is the second season of the Los Angeles derby playoffs!
Lin Fei grinned and hugged Kobe Bryant into his arms, "I won't let you succeed again!" As he spoke, he slapped Kobe Bryant on the back in a friendly way.
"Rookie, you're going to leave bare-assed!" Kobe Bryant slapped Lin Fei's back hard.
Under Kobe's heavy blow, Lin Fei's eyes immediately bulged.
"Damn, so powerful!" Lin Fei complained, gritted his teeth as he watched the big screen, and the game was about to start.
ββNote: This season's playoffs are not the main focus, so the description will be different, not every game is detailed, I hope you immediately, after all, this season's Clippers are far less powerful than too many teams, and the playoffs and the regular are destined to be two different levels!
