Chapter 73 The depressed Lin Fei [23]

Chapter 73 Lin Fei in depression
ESPN columnist Bruin Anders said in his column:
Lakers?Do they lose Kobe Bryant and expect rookie Lin to be the next Kobe Bryant?I can’t deny that rookie Lin’s performance is very stable, but after losing Kobe, the defensive pressure he will face will increase exponentially. He is just a rookie. He has done a good job. Don’t you want to expect more? Maybe in the future he will be A superstar in the league but not now, it shouldn't be unfair to him to put pressure on him. I think Phil Jackson should know this.But there is no doubt that Lin will become the first attack point of the Lakers. If Kobe is really absent, then this will be a major test for the rookie Lin and an opportunity to grow, although this is very difficult.

Do you want Lamar Odom to turn into a magician besides this?Facts have proved that it is best to just pray that he maintains his focus on the court. If he is still habitually distracted, I think the three-game losing streak is far from an end.

In the end, is anyone still counting on Byram to transform into Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?I don't think anyone expects that. Of course, maybe Kupchak and Bass will count on it, so Lakers fans should face it realistically.

The most unbiased reviews that have come out of this article generally agree with Anders.

The Lakers finally confirmed that star Kobe Bryant will be absent for at least half a month for physical therapy, and the Lakers' next opponents are all secretly happy.

The face of the imperial court still has to be given. After accepting the interview seriously, the Lakers will go to the away game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Kobe stayed in Los Angeles because of his injury. This is the first time the Lakers have been without Kobe this season. play.

Due to Kobe's absence, Lin Fei got the chance to start. This is Lin Fei's second start this season.

Lin Fei's performance at the FedEx Center was still very stable, and he used non-stop running to throw the ball into the basket one by one. The Lakers were only one point behind the Grizzlies in the first quarter. A large part of the credit was due to Lin Fei.At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Fei sat on the bench. After Vujacic came on the field, he hit the iron continuously. In addition, the team lacked organizers. Farmar made two consecutive turnovers as if he couldn't pass the ball. The score was pulled to [-] points by the Grizzlies, and Lin Fei made his debut again.

As soon as Lin Fei came on the court, he scored two consecutive three-pointers to reduce the score to single digits, but Pau Gasol beat the Lakers inside and treated the Lakers as his own garden. He scored 14 points alone in the second quarter and kept the point difference within Ten or so.

If it weren't for Lin Fei scoring 16 points on 9 of 25 shots in the first half, the Lakers would have been left behind by dozens of points. Lin Fei felt exhausted for the first time, and his shooting percentage also dropped sharply. In the end, the Lakers scored 18 points in the away game. After losing to the Grizzlies, they officially fell to the second place in the Western Conference and reluctantly accepted the fact that they had lost four games in a row.

Although Lin Fei made 34 career-high shots and scored 38 points, he was still unable to lead the Lakers to victory, and then returned to Staples to face the Utah Jazz back-to-back. Completely lost under the strict marking, the audience only scored 47 points on 14 of 5 shots, and was directly blocked by Kirilenko twice, and also scored a career-high 12 turnovers.The Lakers also swallowed a five-game losing streak under the watchful eyes of the home audience, and Lin Fei even heard boos at the last moment.

"Rookie, are you scared just because of the booing? Everyone has their own abnormal moments, and everyone's life is not smooth. Do you just give up like this?" Kobe's cold eyes seemed to shoot Lin Fei wear.

"No!" Lin Fei himself couldn't believe that his tone was so unresolute.

"Rookie, I'm telling you! I need to see the rookie who used to swear in front of me and said 'Bryant, I will beat you someday', not a rookie who is downcast, what's wrong with the iron, you You must always believe that you can make the next ball, forever, even if you miss one hundred, one thousand or ten thousand balls in front of you, you must firmly believe that you can make the next ball!" Kobe clapped heavily with his left hand Putting down Lin Fei's shoulders, he left the dressing room.

Lin Fei sat alone in front of the locker and meditated, "Don't you just want to live behind others? Just want to succeed with the help of others? Lin Fei show your courage, show it!" Lin Fei clenched his fists Roaring from the bottom of my heart.

One day later, the Lakers continued to host the Warriors at home. The Warriors had been severely humiliated by Lin Fei's madness at home. This time, the Warriors seized the opportunity of Kobe's absence, and finally swallowed the Lakers away. Losing the sixth consecutive game, Lin Fei made 26 shots and only hit 9 goals, scoring 24 points. Lin Fei's continuous sluggish performance has undoubtedly become the target of media attacks.

"Phil, he's just a good rookie. There's Lamar and Derrick here, not just him. You shouldn't let him shoot. You look at his shooting percentage. Staples needs to be good. Players are not blacksmiths!" Kupchak talked to Phil Jackson angrily, obviously he was already pissed off by Lin Fei's low shooting percentage.

"Phil, we have lost a lot by losing six consecutive games. If you let that rookie Lin continue like this, I will never agree!" Kupchak slammed the door and left Phil Jackson with a smile on his face.

It is true that the sales of Lakers tickets and related jerseys and dolls have dropped sharply after consecutive failures, which caused the Lakers to lose a lot of money. In the eyes of businessmen, only money is the most important thing, and everything else is secondary.

"Are you okay? Don't worry, I believe everything will be fine, you can." Scarlett's voice on the phone was still so soft and full of concern.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I believe we will win. Don't you believe me?" Lin Fei asked with a smile. The conversation between the two ended after a while. Lin Fei immediately entered the soul ring training without a trace. pause.

"Forever Cinderella"

"The distance between the sharpshooter and the blacksmith"

"Broken Wing No. [-]"

"Seven-game losing streak is beckoning"

"The Magic Rookie is Gone"

……

The headlines of various websites and media about the Lakers were all questionable, and the "Dallas Cowboys" even threw out the theory of Lin Fei's cancer. For a while, Lin Fei encountered overwhelming doubts.

The Lakers will usher in the No. 99 Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference at home two days later. [-]% of people firmly believe that the Lakers have lost seven games in a row.

James just arrived in Los Angeles and was stopped at the airport for an interview: "LeBron, what do you think of Lakers rookie Lin?"

A contemptuous smile was on James' face, "Maybe he will be a good role player... Maybe he is an important puzzle for the championship. You must know that a shooter is very important to the team, but who knows his future?"

"What do you think about Phil Jackson giving Lin Fei the unlimited right to fire?"

"Sorry, you know it was Phil's decision, but personally, a player's ability determines how much responsibility he can accept. I think he is still suitable for the previous role."
