Chapter 343 The End of the Era! (The Finale)

Chapter 2: The End of the Era! (The Finale)



时间：2011年6月8日；地点：迈阿密美航中心球馆；事件：NBA总决赛第五场，前四场洛杉矶快船3:1领先。

The boos at the American Airlines Center could directly knock down the ceiling. Lin Fei smiled faintly, and he heard the harsh boos all over the place were extremely happy cheers at this moment.

The format of the finals is 2-3-2. This is the third game in Miami. The Heat team in the last game burst out with unimaginable potential. James' triple-double and Wade's fiery touch helped the Heat The team defeated the cold-handed Clippers with a huge advantage of nearly 20 points and let the Miami people see the hope of the Big Three. Although this hope is very small, the Heat continued the madness of the previous game in this game. They have no retreat. However, the Clippers did not intend to give the Heat a chance. The game was already in the middle of the fourth quarter. Just now, Lin Feihuang opened up James' defense and went straight to the inside. He dunked on Bosh's head to help the Clippers score The difference has been pulled back to 15, and the time is getting less and less. For the Heat, it seems that every point is so difficult to recover.

"Although the Heat sit at home, even though they have the enviable Big Three, it turns out that without good role players, it is impossible to succeed only by relying on the Big Three. Compared with the Clippers, they still have to work hard. The Big Three are very likely Watching opponents wildly celebrate the arrival of two consecutive championships at their home court." Steve Kerr said with a relaxed tone.

"Yes, there is no doubt that the simple giants model will not succeed, but Miami need not worry, I can guarantee that there will be a lot of players willing to go to Miami, but the Clippers are the opposite, I heard that Shaquille and Rasheed will be here After the finals, they will choose to retire, and neither Wilson nor JR reached a contract extension agreement with the team. To be honest, the strength of the Clippers next season will decline to a certain extent. The team's best chance," Reggie Miller added.

On the court, James directly dribbled the ball from the backcourt and quickly passed the center line. Artest did not directly push up. Compared with James' footsteps, his footsteps are undoubtedly at a disadvantage. In addition, James' shooting is obviously weaker than other abilities. Artest waited inside the three-point line.

However, James caught Artest by surprise. James suddenly jumped up and shot when the three-point line was still one step away. Such a sudden choice surprised everyone. The three-pointer got into the basket cleanly, and the entire American Airlines Center immediately sent hoarse cheers.

"Unbelievable, LeBron used an unconventional choice to send the ball to the basket. I just thought there was something wrong with my eyes. I thought it was Lin." The expression on Steve Kerr's face told everyone How surprised he was by James' sudden shot.

"Can I say that LeBron's shooting posture is ugly?" Reggie Miller's smile was very thief.

James glanced at Lin Fei not far away, then turned and ran to the backcourt, without any celebration, as if the three-pointer just now had nothing to do with him.

The Clippers' offense quickly started, and Lin Fei with the ball in his hands has become more and more terrifying. Lin Fei's performance in the 82 regular season games this season has already told everyone how terrifying he is. After his thumb indicated that he didn't need to pick and roll, Lin Fei looked at James in front of him with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Facing James' defense, Lin Fei's dribbling rhythm constantly tested James' defensive nerves.

"Is there any movement?" James narrowed his eyes, he felt that Lin Fei's dribbling changes became more and more obvious, and his arms began to open wider.

呲!
After the ear-piercing friction between the fourth generation of Soul and the floor on the left front of James, the whole person made a change of direction dribble at an unimaginable speed.

James, who had already tensed up his defensive nerves, subconsciously made a defensive reaction. However, when he responded tenaciously, Lin Fei patted the basketball lightly with his left hand, and the accurate hit bounced between his legs to Lin Fei's right hand. At the same time, Lin Fei stepped forward with his left foot and just caught James. He slapped him hard and completed the second acceleration in a short moment, while James was thrown behind by Lin Fei.

After getting rid of the difficult James, Lin Fei went straight to the inside of the Heat. Bosh, the Heat's biggest reliance on the inside, had committed four fouls. In other words, Bosh is indispensable, but at this moment, in Lin Fei's eyes, Bosh is an attractive prey.

Bosh looked at Lin Fei rushing to the inside, and immediately adjusted his footsteps. When he saw Lin Fei rushing to his left, he quickly moved his footsteps, and a beautiful lateral movement blocked Lin Fei's way.

Lin Fei, who already had an idea, took advantage of the situation and leaned on Bosh's left foot as the axis. After pulling up and turning around, the ball came to Lin Fei's left hand. Ruyi made a shooting action after pulling back, and Bosh subconsciously jumped up.

When Bosh jumped up, Pat Riley in the box above the American Airlines Center shook his head in disappointment.

Just like before, he took off and waited for the whistle to blow the ball.

The basketball went to the hoop amidst the boos of 2 people.

Lin Fei waved his fist and walked towards the free throw line!
For Lin Fei, a guy who made 99.3% of his free throws in the new season, free throws are points.

He patted the ball lightly and threw the ball amid boos.

The score difference came to [-] points again, and the offense and defense switched. The Clippers maintained their stable and orderly defensive formation. Wade received a pass from James. Lin Fei immediately pushed forward without hesitation, so as not to let Wade feel a little bit. Lin Fei, who is much taller than Wade, opened his arms and almost completely enveloped Wade. Wade did not dribble casually. Wade grabbed the ball with both hands and observed the situation of his teammates.

On the other side, James used Bosh's cover to shake off Artest. Wade immediately passed the ball. After receiving the ball, James immediately took a step towards the basket to adjust, and then jumped up and went straight to the basket. Go away!

"LeBron moment?" Steve Kerr said, watching James fly to the rim.

"Steve, you should ask Lin if he agrees!" As soon as Reggie Miller's voice fell, Lin Fei, who just forced Wade to pass the ball, has appeared beside James, and now the league recognizes his ability to stay in the air. The two strongest have the most direct dialogue.

Lin Fei stretched his arms as far as possible, and his fingers got closer and closer to the ball in James' hands.

Snapped!
When the palm slapped the side of the basketball, a huge force made James feel desperate.

How much James hopes that this moment is not the end but the beginning, but the dazzling bright red numbers tell him that he has lost, the most direct defeat.

The cheers at the American Airlines Center seemed so empty. Nearly [-] Heat fans watched a few Clippers fans celebrate wildly in their home court.

"We just started, next year must be us."

Lin Fei didn't say anything but listened carefully to what James said, "I hope so." Lin Fei stretched out his hands as he spoke.

A simple hug between the two put an end to the 2010-2011 season.

"Shaq, where do you think Lin's future lies?" Rasheed Wallace was no longer as excited as before, maybe it was time to leave.

"The future?" An elusive smile appeared on O'Neill's big face, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be thinking.

"I only know that he is unique. As for the others? I think we should witness it slowly. It must be wonderful." O'Neal finished speaking, picked up a large bucket of Gatorade and ran to Lin Fei in the center of the field.

"Shaq, and me!" Wallace said and ran over with a bucket.



Time: June 2024, 6, Location: Lin Fei's villa in Los Angeles.

"Lin, can't you really stay for another year?"

"We need you, always need you!"

"Lin don't go, this is not the last!"

……

Scarlett Johansson looked at the study room, the door of the study room was closed tightly, Scarlett's appearance didn't seem to have changed much from ten years ago, and there was hardly any trace left by the years on her face. trace.

"Elisa, you need to watch the game with a different mood in the future." Jessica Biel, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke, but her eyes were also directed at the closed study door.

"Yes, we will change our mood in the future, although I believe that little guy will not do worse than him." Chen Xiyan said with a smile, with maternal love shining in his smile.

"He is a mischievous guy. God, I have absolutely no doubt that he will be crazier than his father in the future, but I think the happiest ones must be the Lakers fans. After 18 years, they have a great chance to have another Lin, right?" Eliza Cuthbert said with a smile.

Across the door, Lin Fei's eyes are a little hollow and more complicated. He has spent 18 years in this league before he knows it. When it's time to leave, it turns out that he is so reluctant. Someone joked that he would be the first player in NBA history to compete with his own son. Thinking of this, Lin Fei looked at the photo frame on the desk. That handsome boy was wearing an NCAA championship cap. On the glass of the frame, Lin Fei could vaguely See yourself, a face that is no longer young.

"It's time to leave, isn't it?"

……

Today's Staples Center is not what it was 18 years ago. The upgraded Staples can accommodate nearly 4 people. Today, there is almost no place to stand. Too many fans have tears on their faces. The sound of urging to stay kept hitting Lin Fei's eardrums.

"Lin, how about you..." Lin Fei interrupted Rosen Fuld before he could finish speaking.

"Thank you, Rosen, but it's time for me to start a new journey." Lin Fei felt that the atmosphere in the locker room was a bit oppressive, and all eyes were on him, "Guys, today is the seventh game. Do you want an old guy like me to leave with regret? Well, let me tell you the real reason why I want to leave." Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression on his face.

"The real reason?"

Lin Fei's words successfully attracted everyone's attention. They couldn't imagine what caused Lin Fei to make the decision to leave. You must know that even though he is 36 years old, Lin Fei is still the top existence in this league. I believe that Lin Fei can continue his career.

"I don't want to lose to that bastard who's been writing in his diary since the day he started playing that I'm going to beat my daddy, man I didn't know until he was interviewed for the title, man You guys know the character of that brat, well, I can't beat him, so I decided to leave for my reputation."

Although everyone knew that Lin Fei's words were false, Lin Fei's words enlivened the atmosphere in the locker room, and everyone vowed to bid farewell to Lin Fei with the championship.

"Kenny, there are still eight seconds left, the last eight seconds." Barkley's face in the camera was already too old, and his tone was full of reluctance.

"The last eight seconds, Charles, we were too unprofessional." Kenny Smith also started the last journey of his life.

"Kenny, we are old guys. We should enjoy privileges. To hell with dedication, I just want to enjoy the last eight seconds." Barkley finished speaking as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, "The last eight seconds, hurry up The team is one point behind, and Lin once said that he will not let the Celtics win a championship in his entire career. He has done it four times, so what about this time? I believe he will do it again."

Hearing Barkley's words, Kenny Smith seemed to have returned to those days when he was arguing with Barkley more than ten years ago. He glanced at Barkley beside him and shook his head slightly.

"Lin please stay, Lin please stay..."

The voices of more than 4 people filled the huge Staples Center. Standing on the sidelines, Lin Fei felt that something was about to flow out of his eyes!

Rose Fuld stared at Lin Fei, "Lin, you must know how to do it, come on!"

Lin Fei nodded. He has experienced this kind of situation too many times. Lin Fei thought that he had lost the mood when he started his career, but now he seems to have returned to the beginning of his career.

"Smelly boy, you will definitely not spoil your last eight seconds, right?"

This was an extremely familiar voice, Lin Fei was surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Wilt Chamberlain and Paul Alikin reappeared in his mind after ten years.

"Of course!"

Lin Fei's confident smile made Chamberlain and the others see that Lin Fei.

There are still eight seconds left. These eight seconds determine the suspense of the final ownership of this year's championship and whether Lin Fei can draw a legendary end to his almost perfect career.

Luther stood on the sideline and prepared to serve. This rookie who has only been in the league for three years has slowly grown from a low pick of 30th in the first round to the future backbone of the Clippers' perimeter defense by Lin Fei's side. Luther looked at Lin Fei The figure is very grateful to Lin Fei for teaching him. He still remembers Lin Fei's merciless blows when he was in a downturn.

As the referee blew the whistle, all members of the Clippers moved as planned, but everyone knew who the ball would be handed to in the end. The Clippers always had only one answer—LIN!

Clippers center new-generation center Mejters pushed the player who defended him and ran to the outside.

Lin Fei also ran towards the place that Mejters was going to reach, and Luther sent the ball out.

Lin Fei staggered and did not catch the ball, but made a mistake with Mejters. Mejters received Luthor's serve and sent it without letting the ball stay in his hand.

Lin Fei, who was staggered with Mejters, turned around and ran back to catch the pass.

"Lin, the Clippers' only answer!" Barkley's voice also returned to more than ten years ago.

45 degrees outside the three-point line, the last seven seconds!

Andre Davis, the leader of the new generation of Boston Celtics, opened his arms and forced him up.

Davis has been in the league for ten years. He has faced Lin Fei countless times. He knows Lin Fei's strength. .

"I must keep the ball!" Davis said close to Lin Fei's ear.

Lin Fei pressed his left shoulder firmly against Davis' chest, trying to gauge the time.

With a sideways bump, Davis stepped back a little bit, and turned around quickly with his left foot as the axis.

Davis moved his feet quickly, trying to keep blocking Lin Fei with his outstretched arms. The time from the end of the game was getting shorter and shorter.

Lin Fei, who pulled the ball and turned around, did not turn around but pulled the ball back. He handed the ball with his right hand and left arm to prepare for a forced overtaking.

Davis gritted his teeth and stepped back. He knew that time was running out and he just had to work harder.

What Lin Fei was waiting for was this moment. Lin Fei, who cut into the three-point line and took a step, passed the ball through his crotch with his right wrist, and then withdrew his left foot. In an instant, Lin Fei formed a big relationship with Davis who was defending him. spacing.

Take off, shoot!
Under Davis' watchful eyes, Lin Feixiang was getting farther and farther away from Davis. Lin Fei's body unfolded perfectly in the air, and the beating time on the timer had entered the last 2 seconds.

The basket is far away, and in 2 seconds he will be far away from the NBA, where he has struggled for 18 years.

With a light flick of the finger, the ball left the palm with confidence. The orange basketball just jumped over Davis’s fingertips. Under the watchful eyes of more than 4 fans at the Staples site, the ball followed the established trajectory. Fly to the basket!
Looking at the rising ball in the sky, Lin Fei's eyes are full of miniatures of 18 years.

The first goal, the first start, the first lore, the first championship...

Slowly falling, Lin Fei under the spotlight is the center of the whole world at this moment.

Lin Fei closed his eyes the moment he landed, and slowly retracted his shooting hand.

As the basketball went through the Nets, a burst of white waves was driven up, still as white as 18 years ago.

The red light came on, Davis put his head down, he was still defeated, and he hadn't won even once in ten years.

"Stay!"

"Please stay!"

"Lin, Staples, your forever home!"

……

Staples didn't have much cheer, not much joy.

"The answer, the eternal Staples answer, he is a legend, a perfect legend!" Kenny Smith said in a low voice.

The voices from all over the stadium entered Lin Fei's ears. Lin Fei, who had his eyes closed, felt tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes. He pursed his lips. Lin Fei opened his eyes and looked at the fans all over the stadium.

The Staples Center fell into silence, the first silence in 18 years. The cheers here never stopped when Lin was there, and there were rows of familiar figures behind the bench.

He lifted his jersey and kissed the Clippers LOGO on his chest affectionately.

Looking at the fans in the audience, he bent down and bowed, "Thank you!"

None of Lin Fei's teammates and coaches surrounded him to celebrate. They all looked at Lin Fei quietly. This was a moment for Lin Fei alone.

Lin Fei lowered his head amidst the voices of persuasion from the audience, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes again, he couldn't hold back anymore, he took a step at a time.

Tick!
Tick!
I don't know whether it was sweat or tears that fell on the floor of Staples. Slowly, Lin Fei's figure disappeared in the player tunnel, and Lin Fei officially came to the end of his entire career.

The big screen above the Staples replays Lin Fei's Clippers highlights over the past 18 years.

Lin Fei's shooting, Lin Fei's dunk, Lin Fei's assist, Lin Fei's steal, Lin Fei's dribble, Lin Fei's lore... Finally, the replay of Lin Fei's [-] championship moments for the Clippers In the end, the big screen shot stayed on Lin Fei's young face when he first came to the Clippers.

That once young face was completely far away from the battlefield where he fought under the carving knife of 18 years.



"This is the end of an era. The 18-year crazy Lin has truly entered history. The Clippers Lin era that began in 2009 is completely over. Maybe you will be glad that the dark clouds covering your head have dissipated, and maybe you will regret him. Leave, maybe you will miss the days when you had him, and you have to say that the madness dissolved in his blood will completely disappear, the legend of madness begins here and ends here..." Kenny Smith's voice shocked everyone.

Staples played the classic song WHEN YOU ARE GONE sung by Avril Lavigne 20 years ago!

Lin—he is the eternal captain of the aircraft carrier Los Angeles, and the madness is gradually fading away. The era of the captain of the Los Angeles that once belonged to Lin Fei will not pass away with the years, but will only be often remembered with the passing of the years.

(The whole book is over!)
PS: After paying for this testimonial, I was going to post it separately, but I found out that there is a charge for more than a thousand words. Now I just modify it and add it to this chapter, so it will be free.

Finish this testimonial
I still remember the good memory when I wrote "The Last Center". There was no burden, no thought, only simple and easy words. I will never forget the passionate years of 62 words. I like the big conference of that book. Feel the pure basketball passion between the words, and come all the way to now when I pick up the pen to write the title of the book Soul is a completely new beginning.

A new pen name, a new editor, a new attempt, and more unknowns. I have always wanted to make up for the regret of Tai Sui, but I don’t know when I will be able to do it. I started the journey of the soul under the premise that too many friends did not believe in Ai Shen’s character. Road, the journey along the way turned out to be so difficult. I don’t know when the first real update was, but Ai Shen knew that there was still a guarantee for the soul update in the early stage. This guarantee was based on the fact that Gambler 520 once Another encouragement and urging. To be honest, I am very grateful to him. Of course, there are too many people. Mao Mao 886 has always been the vote king of the soul. There is less constant motivation, and I don’t want to lose your big support, and the only one in the big row is the reward and evaluation vote after each update, God-Evil Kiss big reward (there are too many big support Ai Shen Not to list them one by one)...Ai Shen persisted all the way with too much support, but all the good things changed after the long-term interruption of the [-]-day trip to Dengfeng in August. It's like a catastrophe in life.

At first, I asked for leave, but Ai Shen was too embarrassed to ask for leave, and even dared not face it. As a freshman class teacher, I lost more than 2000 yuan in bank cards. Emotional problems, work problems, and learning problems seemed to hit me all at once, and they came so fast, so fast. It made me unable to resist, and almost exhausted all my energy. Under such circumstances, the breaking of the glory and the breaking of the soul have become normal. Fortunately, the soul has come to the present, and it has not failed to support Ai God. Friends, it's over anyway, isn't it?This is what Ai Shen promised to everyone a long time ago, and there is no perfunctory or unfinished end, but the real work is done with heart.

The book is finished, I really hope to see you in the book review area, whether it is criticism or the evaluation of the soul to Ai Shen, Ai God really hopes to see, don't let the book review area of ​​the soul end so monotonously, okay?
Ai Shen didn't know what to do for the next time, it was empty.Glory will definitely finish the book, the recovery update has already started, and I will try to update a chapter every day. I won’t be like a soul, and I will go to the end, but I know that I will encounter many, many hardships on the road of persistence, and that is all in the future. isn't it?
There are more and more good basketball essays, and Ai Shen doesn’t know if he has the courage to try again. He is afraid that the new start will be very lonely, and I can’t accept the loneliness, even though these lonely realities are what I have changed every day. It is also difficult to guarantee that it will be strong to the end.

I once said that as long as you start, you will persist, so what about in the future?Is there a new beginning?I don't know, but as long as I start, I will present the most real and best Ai Shen to everyone.

Thank you for accompanying Lin Fei to grow up together, thank you for giving Ai Shen continuous persistence, after typing the last word, my mind is full of memories, those sweet and unforgettable years of code words, I hope there will be another Lin Fei to meet everyone, hope There is also the next book produced by Ai Shen, I hope there will be the next time you and I meet, you at that time and Ai Shen's article at that time...
