Chapter Ninety-Six: Expectation

Seeing this kid today, how many people think of the No. 3 more than ten years ago, the passionate No. 3 - Iverson. The speed of changing direction is so fast that it even causes the defender to break bones; His bounce is so high that it is often seen that the interior player is passing the ball to this defender in the air. He beat O'Neal to become Jordan's first leading scorer since his retirement. He led the 76ers around the decline of the early '90s, became a regular in the playoffs, and led the team to the Finals in the 2000-01 season, losing to the Lakers, but fans remember fondly the scene when he scored 48 points in the first game of the Finals.

The analogy between Lin Fei and Iverson has long been a topic of conversation among fans. The same short stature, the same can't defend, but they all have the same speed enough to break the opponent's bones, the same super scoring ability, and the same scoring point guard. There's even a desire to dominate the pitch, but you might see the difference. Lin Fei's draft at the end of the second round has never entered the coach's field of vision, and Iverson enters the team is the core of the team, becoming a player with unlimited firing rights on the field, he continues to refresh the rookie scoring record, and has created a lot of rookie myths in the rookie season, and Lin Fei, even though the rookie season also has a 3-minute slash of 28 points, but overall compared to Ai is so bland, the maturity of Iverson in the second season has become a well-deserved core figure of the team, Even the tactics of the entire team revolve around this player, but Lin still only relies on the team's tactical philosophy most of the time, not the concept of making himself a tactic, and even for a while, the team is still trying to suppress this superhuman attacker on the outside.

Even Iverson himself felt that this kid had his own style when he saw Lin Fei playing.

But you have to see the difference, Iverson seems to like the breakthrough more, he likes the feeling of breakthrough, he often relies on the breakthrough to get inside and close to the basket to score, and Lin Fei is not, his breakthrough is also incomprehensible, but after his breakthrough, more often he relies on his own shooting to score, that is to say, Lin Fei is often a breakthrough, and shooting is indispensable, and this way will often be unstable.

And even if Iverson achieved amazing results, he failed to win the scoring title in the second season, nor did he have such an amazing performance in the playoffs in the second season, and the tactical system of the team where the two people were located was completely different, Iverson's 76ers except for Iverson, other players such as Uncle Mu, were all players with strong defensive ability, relying on the defense of the group, and directly building the 76ers into a defensive division, but today's Warriors are offensive and make almost everyone can participate in the offense, The offensive power is often not tightly limited to Lin Fei, so relatively speaking, Lin Fei's score seems to be more rare.

There is also a topic that no one wants to mention, Iverson later suffered an injury because of his desperate style of play, and Lin Fei will not be like this, among those players in the league who rely on speed, there are few superstars who can achieve a lot. Lin Fei's way of playing is the same as Iverson's, is so maverick, will he repeat the mistakes of the past?

The Warriors and Thunder have entered the playoffs into a tiebreaker, and their winner is about to face the championship-level Mavericks, who will be ready to work no matter who qualifies.

No one thought the Thunder would have such a tough time in the playoffs, and no one would have thought that the Warriors would be so strong in the playoffs. It seems that the "heart of a championship should never be neglected", and it seems that the slogan of the championship contender put forward by the Warriors at the beginning of the season is definitely not in vain.

Perhaps many people are starting to be content, the Warriors have made people see hope, see tomorrow, this is the only time they have entered the playoffs in nearly a decade, and it is really rewarding to be able to play the game to this extent, before that, the main teams of this team have even had little experience in the playoffs, but they have also forced the Thunder into a desperate situation with this stunned hard work.

Given that the Warriors have won two games in a row, more people are also starting to believe that the Warriors have the best chance of reaching the second round of the playoffs. There is also the Warriors team who has Lin Fei, I really don't know when this kid's scoring ability will reach a limit, as long as he is on the court, it seems that the Thunder team has no hope of victory.

I don't know ESPN's analysis of Lin Fei's dribbling speed and shooting, and whether Lin Fei's inexplicable experience can be used as a reference for the Thunder team to defend Lin Fei. Anyway, everyone knows that if a coach wants to use a player to defend Lin Fei, it is simply self-defeating.

The coach of the Thunder team should be happy at this time, because he saw Lin Fei only has an invincible three points, if he can learn from the experience of Lin Fei's defense, he will definitely take two people to defend in front of him and one after the other, after all, Lin Fei's passing ability is far less threatening than his shooting, so there is no need to worry about his passing, that is to say, this time facing the Warriors is almost the only chance for the Thunder team, once it takes time, Lin Fei's ball skills have improved, and his passing skills are more accurate, The Thunder have little chance of surviving under Lin Fei, even though they have the most enviable Gemini constellation in the league. Just like Scott Brooks said, only after you really become an opponent with Lin Fei, you will find him terrible.

But many people obviously still think that the Thunder team is not doing enough, and Terry of the Mavericks is one of them, this self-proclaimed jet player, said that if he was replaced to defend Lin Fei, he would definitely not let that small man score so easily, he is not a player like Durant and Wei Shao. These words are obviously provocative, and there are several meanings, one is to see the Warriors enter the second round, and the other is that even if your Warriors can enter the second place, you Lin Fei and the Warriors will be abused by us.

For those who say, maybe Durant and Westbrook have unspeakable difficulties, because there has not been a team in the league for many years where the Warriors run like a wind and sand, and they rarely see a player who can combine speed and shooting so perfectly and shoot so widely.

Thunder? Warrior? They all know it in their hearts. All we can do is look forward to it.
