Chapter 314 I Just Want the O'Brien Cup

Lin Fei didn't have much confidence in his heart. After the first game, Lin Fei deliberately searched for a video of defending Nowitzki, and it happened that he found a video of McGrady defending Nowitzki. He is about the same height as Tracy McGrady. He believed that his current physical fitness was better than that of McGrady back then, both in response and in other aspects. Since McGrady did it, Lin Fei believed that he could do it after research, so he dared to ask for defense.

Looking at Kidd's appearance, Lin Fei knew that he was going to pass the ball to Nowitzki, and the best way to defend the big man was to go around and defend. Lin Fei used his footsteps to get caught in Nowitzki's In front of him, when Nowitzki tried to run away from Lin Fei's circling, he was surprised to find that Lin Fei's strength and footwork were so good.

Kidd had to change his mind. If he forcibly lobped the ball, Kidd would not have the confidence to pass it to Nowitzki from the top of Lin Fei, who was able to jump. If it was too high, Nowitzki might lose the catch. The sweet spot of the ball even made it cheaper for the other players, and simply settled down and handed the ball to Jason Terry.

For the Mavericks, Terry is the only scoring point for Nowitzki. Facing Wilson Chandler's defense, Terry keeps dribbling, and the rhythm of dribbling is getting faster and faster.

Snapped!
Snapped!
The basketball kept hitting the ground, suddenly bowed to speed up and then made an emergency stop and retreated. Small players always have a good performance in this respect when facing big players. After retreating, Terry directly jumped up and shot.

As a person with strong shooting ability, Lin Fei can feel whether the ball is going in or not by just looking at the arc of the ball. Looking at the arc of Terry's shot, Lin Fei turned around and rushed to the basket leaning on Nowitzki.

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the front and bounced out.

Drew Gooden jumped up to grab the offensive rebound that bounced towards him.

Just when his hands were about to touch the basketball, a yellow-skinned hand appeared within his sight.

With a light lift, the basketball was lifted into the air. After Lin Fei landed, he jumped again. With another lift, Drew Gooden could only watch as Lin Fei quickly completed the third jump.

"The bullet speed is astonishing. Lin made up for the height gap with his excellent physical fitness. I can even see that Drew's mouth can drop four eggs in surprise." Barkley said exaggeratedly.

After Lin Fei landed, he made a long pass, and the ball flew from Lin Fei's hands to the frontcourt at lightning speed.

Although Jason Kidd tried his best to return to the defense, it was still too late. JR. Smith, wearing a white jersey, flashed across the floor like lightning, took the lead to pick up the ball and went straight to the dragon, and used a 180-degree turn that was almost performing. The dunk sent the ball into the basket.

As soon as Lin Fei, a fake power forward, came on the field, he first professionally used the forward circle to prevent Nowitzki from receiving the ball, then took the rebound from the top of Gooden's head, and then sent a precise long pass.

The Clippers fans in front of the TV waved their arms excitedly. At this moment, it seemed that all their doubts about Lin Fei had been dismissed, even though Lin Fei hadn't done anything on Nowitzki.

"Good pass!" JR Smith excitedly ran to the backcourt and gave Lin Fei a passionate chest bump to celebrate.

The Clippers expanded the point difference to six points again, an advantage of at least two goals.

Nowitzki was ready to catch the ball again. Lin Fei stuck in front of him like a plaster. Nowitzki had to signal his teammates to cover. With the help of Marion's cover, Nowitzki received the pass and was about to make a shot. At that moment Lin Fei bypassed Marion and stood in front of Nowitzki.

"Lin appeared in front of Dirk at the right time, can he defend the ball?" Barkley asked expectantly, hoping to see the screen of Lin Fei successfully defending Nowitzki appear.

Lin Fei took a step closer, replaying the image of McGrady defending Nowitzki and the image of Nowitzki shooting in his mind.

Although the difference in height was nearly six centimeters, Nowitzki was also a little apprehensive about Lin Fei's jumping ability. After thinking for a long time, he planned to use a fadeaway jumper.

Seeing Nowitzki's inadvertently shaking shoulders, Lin Fei immediately had an idea in his mind. Most people didn't pay attention to this subtle movement, but Lin Fei concluded that this was the prelude to Nowitzki's direct shot.

The body is slightly staggered from Nowitzki. If Lin Fei is defending frontally and knows that he does not have enough time to take off, Nowitzki really chooses to shoot directly. At the moment when the shot is made, Lin Fei's hand appears on Nowitzki. within the field of vision.

A look of surprise appeared on Nowitzki's face, but his high arc still ensured that the ball jumped over Lin Fei's fingers.

Lin Fei was also a little annoyed. This was the first time that he didn't have a good grasp of the defensive rhythm. He could only hope that Nowitzki's touch would no longer be good.

Swish!
The crisp sound of wiping the net shattered Lin Fei's thoughts.

Huge cheers erupted at the American Airlines Center. In their eyes, Lin Fei's defense undoubtedly failed.

"You are just a joke, let's go back to where you should be."

"Next time there will be a goal over your head and you will be shot into a sieve."

……

Various voices drilled into Lin Fei's ears, and the corners of Lin Fei's mouth curled up.

"Charles, is this what you expected?" Kenny Smith held back a smile.

"In fact, Lin has done a good defense this time, which can only show that Dirk's luck is good." Barkley retorted.

"According to what you said, Dirk's luck has always been good. You should know that having more luck is a sign of strength." Kenny Smith said relentlessly.

Lin Fei returned to the offensive end and looked extraordinarily active, but Marion was a little at a loss. Logically, Lin Fei was the target of his defense, but Lin Fei plunged into the inside and found Nowitzki. If he defended Novus Key must pull to the perimeter to defend. Defending the perimeter is undoubtedly a huge test for Nowitzki. The Mavericks are likely to be defeated by this point. Everyone knows how powerful the Clippers' perimeter is. Marion can only defend The task of Lin Fei was handed over to Nowitzki.

Lin Fei stretched out his hand to ask for the ball against Nowitzki, which looked very professional inside.

Miller directly hit the ball to Lin Fei. Lin Fei stabilized his center of gravity first. This was the first time in his career that he singled an inside player in the low post.

However, for players who are taller than him, Lin Fei has learned it in the soul ring, but he rarely uses it. After all, there are really very few players who are taller than him on the outside.

"Lin is planning to play Dirk in a low post? To be honest, I am worried about Dirk's strength. Everyone knows that Lin has terrifying power. I think he should have an advantage over Dirk." Barkley said seemingly casually. .

Bang!
Bang!
Two consecutive impacts made Nowitzki take half a step back.

"Why is it so strong?" Nowitzki was quite helpless in the face of Lin Fei's impact. Nowitzki was unwilling to bear the comment that a power forward was not as strong as a defender, so he pushed up again with his chest out.

Lin Fei also seemed determined to deal with Nowitzki with the purest strength.

Once again, the pain in Nowitzki's chest became more and more obvious, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. Suddenly, Lin Fei grabbed the ball with both hands, leaned on him and took a step towards the middle, and then took off to hook.

Despite Nowitzki's best efforts he took a slow beat and watched as Lin Fei sent the ball to the rim with a standard jump hook.

"Jump hook, perfect jump hook, look at this height, look at this prelude, Mike let Lin play inside next time, height is definitely not a problem." Barkley can't wait to get close to Kenny Smith's ear.

And all the Celtics in front of the TV were also taken aback. None of them expected that Lin Fei, who unexpectedly appeared at the power forward position, would show the potential of a standard insider. Firth frowned. Throughout the playoffs until now, everyone has seen how changeable Dunleavy's rankings are.

Although Lin Fei was scored by Nowitzki in the next few defenses, it became more difficult for Nowitzki to score each time, and he was exhausted by Lin Fei on the defensive end. Now It was the third quarter, and there was one more quarter to go. If he lost his strength, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Mavericks.

"Dirk is going to put on his scoring show again." Seeing Nowitzki successfully catch the ball again, Kenny Smith said proudly.

Barkley didn't speak. The first four defenses did end in Lin Fei's failure, so what about this time?

There was no difference between Lin Fei's initial defense and the previous few times, while Nowitzki turned around and shot a jumper with his back against Lin Fei after a sudden impact.

Snapped!
There was a loud noise, and the basketball returned at high speed. Nowitzki never expected such a situation to happen. He couldn't dodge in time, and the basketball hit him directly. Originally, his shot was a shot that lost his center of gravity. It fell directly to the floor.

boom!
The sound of intimate contact between the buttocks and the floor made countless people feel pain for Nowitzki's ass.

"Beautiful block, poor Dirk, eh." Barkley shook his head and sighed.

And this time's defense also injected confidence into Lin Fei, and Nowitzki's chest, which was hit by Lin Fei after a fall, seemed to be even more painful.

In addition, Lin Fei's entanglement hands seemed to be put into the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, hitting iron continuously while the Clippers counterattacked wave after wave.

Lin Fei didn't get into the inside line, stopped on the outside line, received the pass, pulled up and shot.

Swish!
The basketball went into the basket cleanly.

With Lin Fei's three-pointer hitting the Clippers, the point difference once again widened to double digits.

Carlisle had to request a timeout, but the effect after the timeout was still not good, and Nowitzki almost endured the pain to play.

The moment Nowitzki turned around, he couldn't hold back anymore, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, and dripped on the floor.

He is unwilling to become a loser again, very unwilling. Since he came to this league, he has been fighting for the final trophy every year for more than ten years, but the reality is so cruel every time.

Although he is only 0:3 behind now, he really doesn't have any confidence, not at all. It seems that his tears are only one drop. Nowitzki walked towards the player channel with his head held high again.

Rivers turned off the TV, and everyone in the Celtics immediately put into training, and the Clippers once again gave them a huge shock.

The triple-double data can't cover up the miracle of Lin Fei's fake power forward.

Although Lin Fei only contributed 10 points in the second half, he grabbed 9 rebounds and sent 3 blocks. He especially defended Nowitzki and contributed the most to the Clippers' victory.

At the post-match press conference, Lin Fei only said one sentence to everyone's questions, "I only want the O'Brien Cup."
