"Champion Promise" - the headline of the sports section of the "Los Angeles Times", accompanied by a photo of Chen Hao hitting the buzzer in the first quarter.

The article wrote the game very vividly, and finally focused on commenting on Lin Fei's role in the Clippers.

The Clippers, who won the Christmas game, officially increased their winning streak to 32 games, just one step away from the 33-game winning streak in league history. On December 12, they will usher in No.27 three games The game happened to be the powerful city brothers Los Angeles Lakers, and even if they beat the Los Angeles Lakers, the Clippers still have to accept the test of physical fitness, because they need to sit at home to face the equally powerful Boston Celtics back to back, three consecutive games and the league's top It is undoubtedly difficult for the Clippers to play against each other. David Stern himself did not expect the Los Angeles Clippers to be like what they are now.

"It would be nice if I put some weak teams here at Christmas." David Stern said to himself in the NBA office in New York.

"33 consecutive victories? "——This is the headline of the official NBA website. Below it is the road to winning streak. This column is a video cut of the 32 opponents the Los Angeles Clippers have defeated since the start of the game. The next column is the record? , this column is the highlight clip of the Los Angeles Lakers this season and the performance of the Celtics this season.

The biggest challenge facing the Los Angeles Clippers since they overcame the Rockets in Houston for the second-best streak in league history is the league's longest 33-game winning streak.

But now the Clippers are still singing all the way to the door of 33 consecutive victories, just one step can reach 33 consecutive victories, and another step can create a new history. Although it seems that there is only a gap of one or two games, everyone knows How tough it is.

The gold content of the Clippers' winning streak has been recognized by the media to be far stronger than the Los Angeles Lakers back then. You must know that there were only 17 teams in the entire league at that time, and the Lakers also had the "Big Dipper" Wilt Chamberlain and the league logo at the same time. The archetypes of Jerry West and Goodrich are the three future Hall of Fame superstars, and there is Pat Riley on the bench. Among the 17 teams, the only one that can hinder the Lakers The defending champion Milwaukee Bucks led by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Big O Oscar Robinson started on November 1971, 11 and lost to the defending champion Bucks on January 5, 1972. During this period, the Lakers completed the horror With 1 consecutive victories, the Lakers also created the best record in the regular season at that time - 9 wins and 33 losses. Until the 69-13 season, the Bulls set a new record with a record of 1995 wins and 1996 losses. The Los Angeles Lakers won the championship without any suspense.

Now at the door of the record, the media began to continuously interview the participants of the Los Angeles Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

"I don't think records are meant to be broken. The Clippers are a strong offensive-defensive team. They The lineup is neat, with many key players and superstars. They have defeated too many people and came to the door of 33 consecutive victories. However, it is still difficult to really break the record of 33 consecutive victories. The Los Angeles Lakers and Boston will not Easily let yourself be a stepping stone for the Clippers to create a record, and I believe both teams will do their best."

At this moment, Pat Riley is more focused on the offseason. The salary space of the Miami Heat makes them full of competition in the summer trading market.

"The Clippers won 32 consecutive games very quickly. The speed and start shocked everyone, and I was one of them. When Houston completed 22 consecutive victories last year, I said that the Rockets were as confident as we were back then, but now It is different from the past. There are too many strong teams. The challenges they encountered were obviously stronger than ours back then, so I am not optimistic about them breaking our record. Everyone in the Clippers now knows how strong they are. Although the Los Angeles Lakers And the Boston Celtics are just as strong, but I can’t think of a team other than the Clippers that can break our record, and it sucks to be broken but it’s nice to witness a new record being born.” Now Goodrich, one of the three Lakers superstars who was a commentator on NBA-TV, said this to the media.

In addition, the Clippers' next two opponents, the Lakers and the Celtics, have received attention. After all, they are the biggest obstacle to the Clippers' 33-game winning streak.

"Bryant, it is said that relevant sources revealed that you will relax appropriately in order to meet certain needs in the game against the Clippers. Is there such a thing?" Kobe just finished training and a large group of reporters surrounded him.

Kobe wiped his sweat, his face was full of displeasure, "My professional ethics tell me that I will never do such a thing, and working hard wholeheartedly to play well is a respect for myself, them, and even basketball."

After speaking, Kobe pushed away from the crowd and walked into the player channel.

"We are still behind the Lakers, so we just need to wait and see for the time being, don't we? We don't necessarily have the opportunity to be the key to the Clippers breaking the record." Celtics coach Doug Rivers said in an interview with the media.

All eyes are on the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Staples ticket price on the 27th has been fired up to 2000 US dollars on the Internet, which is still the worst seat, and the seat with the best seat has been fired up to 30000 US dollars.

It can be seen from the ticket price how much attention this game is.

On the afternoon of the 27th, when the Clippers' pre-game adaptive training was about to end, Dunleavy and Lin Fei walked to the sidelines. Lin Fei clapped his hands, "Guys, please stop."

Everyone looked at Lin Fei beside Dunleavy curiously, they didn't know what Lin Fei was going to do.

"We have come all the way from the offseason and achieved what we are now, an unbelievable achievement that even all of us can't even imagine in our lifetime-32 consecutive victories! This kind of glory belongs to us, without all of us It is absolutely impossible to achieve such a result with our hard work. Now we have reached a critical moment. I dare say that the other 29 teams in the league are expecting us to lose, expect us to stop winning, and stand in front of a legendary great record We only need two more games to kick their record and make ourselves the number one. Bryant is a proud guy, the Lakers are a proud team, they never put the Clippers in their eyes , and we use the facts to tell them that I exist. Now we need to challenge them and what they want to protect is their pride. What we have to do now is to kick their pride. Los Angeles is not only the Lakers and the Clippers. I know that the high-intensity competition makes everyone very tired, but now we have finally stood in front of the record and we have no reason to retreat, let us fight to the end together, okay?"

Lin Fei's voice hit everyone's eardrums.

"Okay!" All the players shouted in unison, uniform and imposing, and the voice echoed in the Staples Arena.

O'Neill and Wallace looked at each other, and they felt like they had returned to the league when they first entered the league more than ten years ago.

Odom, who was a Lakers player last season and made great contributions to the Lakers' championship, looked at Lin Fei quietly. He had a good relationship with Lin Fei when Lin Fei first entered the league. A Kobe's potential, now he has dispelled his thoughts, because Lin Fei is not Kobe but he will be the first himself.

"Lin, do you have anything God wants to say about the game tonight? Bryant said he will beat you." A white reporter ran up to Lin Fei with a microphone.

Lin Fei naturally knew what Kobe said, "Bryant's words are what I want to say. Doing your best to play the game is the greatest respect for us and them for basketball." After speaking, Lin Fei turned and left.

The game was held at 06:30 p.m. in Los Angeles time. Just at [-]:[-], a large number of vehicles in Los Angeles drove towards Staples. Before [-]:[-], Staples was full of seats.

Today's game is the Lakers' home court, and the majority of Lakers fans are present. The fans wearing the No. 24 Lakers jersey are undoubtedly the most eye-catching, and there are not a few fans wearing Lin Fei's No. [-] Clippers jersey. Some fans wore Lin Fei's No. [-] Lakers jersey.

"I won't show mercy in the game." Kobe whispered into Lin Fei's ear.

Lin Fei smiled lightly, "It's not you who stay, is it?"

Kobe let go. Lin Fei still had a grim expression on his face. Looking at Kobe's back, Lin Fei felt Kobe's aura. Lin Fei could feel the difficulty of tonight's game.

Anzu Byram is the Lakers' biggest achievement this season. With more playing time and continuous growth, Byram is faintly approaching the team's second-in-charge position this season. He can provide the Lakers with 16 points and 10 rebounds per game. 2 caps.

The referee whistled, and Byram and Tyson Chandler jumped up at the same time and went straight to the basketball.

In the end, Chandler, who was slightly stronger in physical fitness, touched the basketball with a slight advantage. The basketball did not fly to Andre Miller but flew to the backcourt.

Lin Fei was the closest player to the direction where the basketball landed, so he turned around and chased after the basketball.

When Lin Fei's palm just grasped the basketball, a hand suddenly protruded out. Facing the hand that suddenly protruded from behind, Lin Fei hurriedly pulled the ball back in his hand.

But he was touched, the basketball was a little out of his control, Lin Fei didn't want his first statistic in this game to be a mistake, he accelerated to chase the basketball, and at this time Lin Fei saw that he was trying to catch the ball from behind. It was Kobe who stole the ball, and his speed advantage ensured that Lin Fei got back the ball that he almost made a mistake.

Looking into Kobe's eyes, Lin Fei quickly dribbled the ball forward after stabilizing his rhythm, and Kobe didn't rush to steal but kept interfering with Lin Fei with his body.

When Lin Fei came to the three-point line, the other Clippers players had already settled down!
Without giving the ball to Miller, Lin Fei stretched out his left thumb to indicate the following tactics to his teammates.

Seeing Lin Fei's gesture, the entire Clippers immediately moved. Artest is now the most easily overlooked point by other teams. In today's Clippers, Artest's offensive role has become very simple, basically just sniping , at this time he cut to the inside of the Lakers from the right 45 degrees, and Rasheed Wallace and Tyson Chandler formed a good screen.

Ariza was obviously not prepared enough to face Artest's sudden acceleration. When he reacted, he was blocked by Wallace and Chandler inside. Lin Fei directly flicked his wrist and hit the basketball directly to the left corner. Rebound, at the same time Artest rushed to the vacancy, Artest did not waste this opportunity, and steadily sent the ball into the basket.

"I didn't expect that Lin would choose to pass the ball, and I didn't expect that Ron would be the first to open the scoring for the Clippers." Reggie Miller said what he thought in his heart, and it was true. No one thought that Artest would be the offensive player point.

"Why don't you come by yourself, aren't you confident?" Kobe's cold tone penetrated into Lin Fei's ears.

"You know that trash talking doesn't work for me." Lin Fei shrugged at Kobe and changed his voice, "Of course I'll tell you I can do it."

Facing the aggressive Kobe, Artest was very experienced and kept a defensive distance. Kobe wanted to break through Artest directly. When the two people's bodies came into contact, Artest was the most proud The advantage of strength was immediately revealed.

Under Artest's physical pressure, Kobe gave up the direct breakthrough and pulled it out again.

"This is the role of Ron. Compared with last season, Ron's role seems to be less, but it is actually better for the Clippers. Ron's concentration on defense is a good benefit for the Clippers." Kenny Smith commented.

Kobe's offensive methods are the top in the league. Kobe, who gave up physical contact, tested Artest's defense with continuous cross-step dribbles. The sudden change of direction and acceleration combined with Artest's lack of flexibility It was immediately apparent that despite Artest's efforts, Bryant was able to break through.

Lin Fei who was not far away saw Kobe's movements and immediately prepared to pounce on him. Seeing that Artest was about to be unable to stop Lin Fei, he immediately chose to leave Ariza behind, "Ron, I'll leave it to you." Lin Fei finished speaking An accelerated to catch up directly.

The speed advantage ensured that Lin Fei could catch up with Kobe. Instead of following Kobe, Lin Fei took half a step back and waited for Kobe's next move.

Kobe saw Lin Fei, who was backing up the defense, take half a step back, and immediately made his own movement. The whole person stopped suddenly, and all the momentum stopped with the ear-piercing friction sound of the sneakers, and then the whole person rose from the ground.

Stop jump shot!

Lin Fei was startled, and rushed towards Kobe in a hurry.

For Kobe, the emergency stop jump shot is his regular offensive weapon. Compared with Lin Fei's emergency stop jump shot, Lin Fei uses his wingspan and height advantages to make up for his positional disadvantage as much as possible. Instead of trying to block the ball in Kobe's hands, he went straight to Kobe's eyes.

Lin Fei knew that even if he defended to this point, Kobe would not stop shooting.

Just as Lin Fei thought, Kobe still took the shot, and with an obvious backlash, he threw the ball without realizing it.

Lin Fei has done the best he can, and the rest can only be placed on Kobe's touch.

"Swish"

Just as Lin Fei landed and turned around, there was a clear sound of wiping the net from the basket.

The cheers from the fans at the scene told Lin Fei that Kobe had still scored, and Lin Fei shrugged helplessly.

"This is Bryant." Charles Barkley said helplessly.

"Lin's defense has been the best, and it's not Lin's defensive problem to score goals." Reggie Miller said.

Andre Miller dribbled the ball forward and Lin Fei immediately passed the ball when he saw the 45-degree three-point line.

Steadily catching the ball, Lin Fei was not in a hurry to attack. He first looked at his teammates. So far, Lin Fei felt that his desire to attack was not strong, and he needed to adjust.

Lin Fei gestured again. Rasheed Wallace saw Lin Fei's gesture and immediately pulled to the outside line. When Wallace was about to stand still, Lin Fei moved.

The speed increases to the highest in an instant, just like the top Aston Martin among sports cars, it can increase the speed to the maximum in the shortest time.

After colliding with Kobe from his side and knocking Kobe away slightly, Lin Fei used Wallace's cover to rush directly to the inside.

After avoiding Wallace, Kobe chose to chase Lin Fei again, but Lin Fei came back with a carbine.

Like eyes in the back of his head, the ball was passed back to Rasheed Wallace.

This is one of the Clippers' offensive tactics in the new season. Wallace screens and then returns the pass to shoot.

It was too late for Kobe to turn around to defend Wallace in a hurry. He could only watch Wallace calmly glance at the three-point line and then throw the basketball in his hand.

Wallace's biggest improvement after coming to the Clippers is that his three-point shooting percentage has increased significantly, which has increased to 43.4%, and he has even become one of the popular candidates for this year's Dallas All-Star Three-Point Contest.

Swish!
The basketball finally got into the basket cleanly.

"Lin, are you going to do my job today?" Miller said to Lin Fei with a smile.

"Wow, what's the situation today, Lin chose to pass the ball twice in a row. If it was before, he would definitely choose to hit the inside. Although An Zu has performed well this season, I believe Lin will definitely not be afraid. Such a choice is probably out of date." It depends on the coach's tactical arrangement." Kenny Smith said, if he knew that Lin Fei chose to pass the ball because he didn't have a strong desire to attack, I don't know what he would think.

Byram picked up the basketball and immediately sent the ball to Fisher. Fisher handed the ball to Kobe just after halftime. Pressed up from the other side, and soon the two formed a pincer attack on Kobe.

Under the interference of the four arms, Kobe finally chose to pass the ball and passed the ball to Byram who was pulled up to the high position to help Kobe with a screen.

If Gasol was receiving the ball at this moment, the Clippers would never dare to put Gasol in the high post, but the person at this moment is Byram, a guy whose maximum offensive range is mid-range.

Really unable to attack, Lime handed the ball to Paul Gasol. Gasol used his flexible feet to sway the space and sent the ball into the basket.

Phil Jackson saw Gasol's footsteps and goals, and he was very satisfied. Only the Lakers have such a big man.

In the following games, Kobe often fell into the double-team of the Clippers, and only occasionally could he find a shot. Under such circumstances, the Lakers also handed over more of the ball to Gasol. Disappointing the fans who supported him, when Kobe was stared to death by the Clippers, he almost relied on Gasol to bite the point difference.

Lin Fei, on the other hand, remained silent and looked more like an excellent organization. He has sent out 5 assists so far in the first quarter.

After Lin Fei ran to the frontcourt, Andre Miller, who was not far behind him, dribbled the ball steadily and advanced to the Lakers' half court. Seeing Lin Fei take the position, Miller passed the ball again.

Lin Fei didn't directly choose to attack, but moved the dribble laterally, and Kobe followed Lin Fei cautiously.

Lin Fei stopped moving when he came a little above the free throw line, his eyes swept across the inside line.

From the corner of Kobe's eyes, he saw Artest, who was about to move, immediately thought of Lin Fei and was about to pass the ball, "Trevor!" Kobe reminded, and Lin Fei pushed the ball to the left with both hands, so fast that Kobe subconsciously stretched out his right hand to intercept.

"Damn it!" Kobe cursed, and immediately withdrew his weight and threw himself at Lin Fei, but it was too late, Lin Fei had already thrown the ball.

"Lin is an excellent liar! The fake fax cast, Lin's five assists data played a confusing role." Reggie Miller said with a smile.

Barkley on the side felt extremely proud, and he, who claimed to be the number one Lin Mi, immediately opened up the chatterbox, "This is a performance of continuous maturity, and it's done beautifully. I said that it is absolutely impossible for Lin to not make a move. He is setting up a big one. A trap, and Bryant obviously fell into it!"

Lin Fei raised his eyebrows at Kobe, turned around and ran to the backcourt.

Kobe glared at Lin Fei's figure, paused for a moment and immediately ran forward.

Under Artest's greeting, although Lin Fei's double-teaming was a bit late, but this time Kobe's luck was not as good as that in the opening game, almost exactly the same as the sudden stop, leaning back and hitting the basket.

Rasheed blocked Gasol behind him, and Tyson Chandler chose to block instead of fighting with Byram. Gasol and Byram watched the basketball fly over their heads. But there is no way.

Lin Fei, with quick eyesight and quick hands, judged the landing point and jumped up to take off the defensive rebound.

"Today Lin is going for a triple-double again. Although the expression on Phil's face is very stable, I can guarantee that he is anxious. His strongest twin towers didn't even pass the rebound protection in the first quarter. Come on," Barkley said proudly.

"This kind of rebound has a lot of moisture. Tyson and Rasheed entangled Paul and Anzu and Lin took advantage of it." Kenny Smith raised the bar subconsciously. After realizing his own backlash, Smith immediately changed his words, "Of course this is also the case. an ability."

"Hmph!" Barkley snorted dissatisfied.

After Lin Fei handed the rebound to Miller, he immediately ran forward.

The defense of Los Angeles has just begun.
