Chapter 4 Let it shine
"Very good, guys!" Xiao stood among the crowd.
"You are Lin Hai?" Xiao turned to Lin Hai and asked.
"Yes"
Xiao really thought Lin Hai was a surprise. The league knew that the Lakers' weakness was No. 1 position, and only Lao Yu could barely support the storefront.
But Lao Yu is not young after all. So this year the Lakers just want to find a qualified No. 1 position. Coincidentally, Lin Hai is the best choice in both organizational offense and defense. This young man is excellent enough!
Especially calm at critical moments is the most important thing. The Lakers need someone like this to share some pressure for Kobe.
Xiao thought about it again and again
"Lin Hai, Benjamin, welcome you to join the Lakers." Xiao Zhang hugged and greeted the two with their arms.
Benjamin was the No. 3 who scored the highest score in the game.
"Don't be disappointed if you don't succeed. You will have a better choice." Xiao comforted everyone and left. He needed to report to the team and sign it.
"Congratulations, Hai!" Simon also came over
"Thank you" Lin Hai knew that his efforts were rewarded!
"Don't be sad, you still have a chance." Lin Hai remembered that Simon was not selected and patted his shoulder to show comfort.
"I'll go and have a drink tonight, I'll invite you," said Lin Hai.
"It's great" Simon was displeased.
Although this is only the first day that the two people know each other, some people are worth getting to know each other when they meet each other.
Time is fast, and before I know it, the day for the preseason to begin.
Staples Center.
The Lakers welcome the Nuggets at home.
Lin Hai started to play and killed all sides, making 10 of 16, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, scoring 32 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals, but also had 5 turnovers.
Xiao is increasingly looking forward to the young man's style in the league.
"Hey, boss, I seem to have found a treasure." Xiao immediately called Lao Bass after the game.
"Oh? Who is it?" Old Bass was also a little curious. He knew that Xiao would not be aimless, and he must be a very good newcomer to make Xiao so calm excited.
"It's a rookie named Lin Hai, you don't even know the boss..." Xiao said for 5 minutes.
Old Bass "......"
"It turned out to be this young man, Bryant told me." Old Bass was a little looking forward to it. What kind of existence is the person favored by Kobe and Shaw at the same time!
Three days later, Staples Center welcomed her guest again, the Eastern Conference Powerhouse and the Lakers' old rival Celtics.
Lin Hai continues to start the game
This year, the Celtics did not have any outstanding rookies, but the Celtics are a team that focuses on defense. You know, Russell's offense was not very good at that time (relative to the coach), but he led the Celtics to win the shocking eight consecutive championships. Russell won eleven championships in his short thirteen years of career. I have to say that this is a real person!
The Lakers won the opening ball and came to Lin Hai's hand. A dazzling operation made Xiao amazed.
"Lin Hai really knows how to play"
But Lin Hai was also very guarded and had no chance to connect with his teammates. Under helplessness, he took action on the right 45°
"Cang" ball pops out of the box
The rebound was grabbed by the Celtics, and there was no attack.
The Celtics are worthy of being a defensive army. Both sides fought back and forth for 5 minutes, but fortunately they didn't hit the basket in a wrong way. At this time, the Celtics chose to suspend, and Xiao also arranged some tactics.
It seemed that there was a magical power after the timeout. This time, Lin Hai made a steadily shot a 2-pointer in the middle, winning the first point for the whole game. Then, the two teams seemed to be blooming, and they did whatever they shot. What was a bit embarrassing was that Lin Hai never scored again after scoring the first goal. The first quarter ended, the scores of both sides: 20--18
Lin Hai made 7 shots, only scored 1 goal, and only assisted 1 time. The Celtics seemed to be guarding him and staring at him specifically. Lin Hai was helpless. It was the first time that Lin Hai had no choice but to face such a defense. However, the real defense level of the game may have to be strengthened.
In the second quarter, Xiao pressed Lin Hai on the bench. After all, this is a game to examine rookies. No one is the absolute core, and everyone must have a chance.
Lin Hai was thinking about how to break through the defense line, staring at the jersey above Staples, and looking at the "32" jersey floating above Staples, Lin Hai unknowingly remembered the man who led the "showtime".
"Magic" Wall Johnson, the greatest No. 1 pick in the history of the Lakers. He led the Lakers to the championship and FMVP in his rookie season. It is not surprising that his life is legendary.
Lin Hai was thinking about the video he had watched. If the magician was now himself, how would he deal with the double-team? One game was floating in the forest.
"calm"
This is what Lin Hai thought of
At the end of the half, the Lakers actually fell 10 points behind, with a score of 36--46.
The second half began soon, and Xiao was not very good at using people. The field was actually a situation of 3 big and 2 small. The Lakers obviously needed to score, but Xiao actually wanted to compete with the Celtics to defend. Sure enough, this time Lin Hai was not only defended by the enemy, but also defended by his teammates. Sometimes he broke through the penalty area and had to avoid his teammates before he could see the basket.
The Lakers were getting more and more behind, and Lin Hai tried hard to feed the ball, but the Lakers' three major inside offenses were completely messed up, only Benjamin could attack, but at the end of the third quarter, the score had reached 60-78.
The Lakers are eighteen points behind.
In the last section, Xiao seemed to realize the mistake, but he couldn't deal with it. He had no choice but to use the traditional "two, big, three small"
I don’t know if it’s because of physical strength or because I’ve already taken too much lead, the Celtics did not defend very strictly this time, and the personnel on the Lakers are also suitable for Lin Hai’s performance.
Sure enough, after Lin Hai broke through this time, he was a dream of Tanhua, playing with three Celtics, and scoring beautifully. The Lakers played more and more smoothly. Under Lin Hai's leadership, they actually pulled the score to only 6 points with 12-0. You should know that 4 minutes passed in the fourth quarter, and the Celtics had to choose to pause and adjust.
The effect was obvious. Lin Hai's connection with his teammates was strangled to death by the Celtics again. After being defended for 24 seconds, Lin Hai realized that it must change, otherwise he would lose.
But it is so easy to change the place on the court at once. The game time passed by, and the Lakers never had the chance to get closer.
"It must be changed" Lin Hai told himself in his heart.
The pressure is getting stronger and stronger, and there is only one minute left in the game. When the rest time is spent, Lin Hai looked at the score on the court 88-94, and the Lakers are still 6 points behind.
Rest off the court.
"Give up" a center feels hopeless.
"Yes," said another
"Everyone fight casually." Xiao also felt hopeless, and this was just a season prospect and not that important.
"Have you given up?" Lin Hai asked himself
The Celtics serve, Lin Hai is cursed at this time
"It's now" Lin Hai successfully steals,
The other Lakers players didn't react at all. In their opinion, there was no need to concentrate so much in the game they had already given up.
Lin Hai ran all the way, and a powerful battle axe buckle was slammed.
"Only 4 points behind, man," Lin Hai patted the hands of his teammate who was rushing back.
"Dry" seemed to be rekindled by Lin Hai's dunk. The Lakers on the court seemed to have eaten spicy hot pot, and there was endless fire to vent.
"Run" was another steal, another fast attack. Lin Hai killed the basket, avoided the defensive players chasing behind, smashed the board and rebounded. Benjamin, who followed behind, made another powerful and heavy dunk with both hands.
The Lakers players on the court jumped up
"It's really good." Xiao also felt a little incredible, and at the same time, he felt that his heart, which had not been restless for many years, was a little bit beating.
It’s good to be young!
At this time, there are 50 seconds left, and the Lakers are 2 points behind, and everything is unknown.
Xiao also called for a timeout, and wanted to play the last 50 seconds.
The Celtics' tactics are very simple, they are defense
However, the Lakers have been activated, and the Celtics can defend the inside, but they have no choice but to make a comeback from the outside. Ke Huaide's three-point line takes a knife and the Lakers take a step forward. However, the Celtics are not polite and immediately responds to one in the next attack.
30 seconds left
Lin Hai took the ball and organized it, pretending to break through, attracted two Celtics to defend. When Lin Hai saw it, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and handed the ball to Nal, who was ambushing at the bottom line, and another three-pointer was scored.
At this time, the Lakers were already unstoppable. Lin Hai made another steal, a clever throw in the air, and once again completed the all-time match with Benjamin.
The Celtics failed to attack, Lin Hai took the ball to suppress the time, and saw that the Celtics wanted to use foul tactics, Lin Hai accelerated and avoided the defensive player, and the basketball was so beautiful that the basketball passed through the walls of people, and Benjamin killed the game with another dunk!
The final score was frozen at 101-96, and the Lakers won 5 points.
Although Lin Hai made 6 of 16 shots and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring only 17 points, he scored 2 steals and 3 assists in the last minute.
The comprehensive data of 17 points, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, 8 assists and 2 blocks were scored in the whole game.
If it is gold, it should make him shine.
Chapter completed!
