Chapter 5 That Midsummer Night
While Lin Hai played the explosive data, Blake Griffin, the Clippers' rookie next door to the home stadium, also exploded. The average 2010 data averaged was enough to surprise the league no matter which year it was placed.
Tonight is also destined to be an extraordinary night. After a series of games, time has also come to the preseason finals. This night only belongs to this group of young people who have just entered the league. Maybe they are not mature enough, maybe their playing style is still very immature, but among their peers, they are already one of the best people.
Tonight, the Lakers will play at home against the visiting Los Angeles Clippers.
Of course it is not considered home court. After all, both teams are at Staples at home, but because of history and the Lakers have just won the championship, they are at their peak in fame, so the Clippers players seem very embarrassed. "It's obviously our home court, right?"
On the sidelines, Xiao Zheng excitedly introduced to Old Barnes, "It's the black-haired yellow man. Boss, I've found a treasure." Xiao poked his hands as he said.
"Look at it" Old Barnes looked calm. After all, he was just a rookie. But if he said that to the yellow race, Old Barnes looked at Lin Hai who was being interviewed and thoughtfully.
"Oh my God, you're so handsome." The little girl excitedly started her visit.
Photographer "..." Miss, is this the key point? Is this the key point? But why is his father a pillar, and it is indeed very important to be reincarnated.
"Hello!" Lin Hai was a little at a loss. This girl was really... But Lin Hai still smiled.
......
"How old are you this year?"
"Have you been living here all the time?"
"Which university did you study in before?"
Lin Hai "..."
Photographer "..."
Sister, this is really not the point!
"Hey, Lin, it's ready to start" Benjamin came over and said hello.
Lin Hai felt relieved. He politely told the girl that the competition was about to start and he had to prepare.
"Hey, you didn't even answer me." The little girl put her hands on her hips and pouted, looking at Lin Hai running away.
"Am I scared?"
The photographer "..." quickly turned the camera to the stadium, but he really didn't dare to answer.
After the episode, the competition officially arrived.
"Beep" As the referee whistle sounded, the preseason finals kicked off.
Lin Hai still started. At the beginning of the game, the Clippers got the ball, and Griffin hit Huanglong with his hands dunked, and fired the first shot of the game. The future Aerial City has begun to take shape.
Lin Hai passed the ball through the half and observed his teammates' running. Unfortunately, all the Clippers seemed to have enough energy to vent their energy. So they were very careful. Yes, after all, they were all home courts, so why did the audience cheer for you?
Lin Hai did not dare to stay for too long. He was defended closely and felt very uncomfortable. He quickly divided the ball out. "Oh," Lin Hai said in his mind. As expected, his teammates did not know Lin Hai's intention, and the ball was missed perfectly by him. The Clippers teammates rose up and went straight, and another beautiful windmill dunk. The audience said they were satisfied.
"Hey, Huang Gui, what's wrong with you?" Teammate who hadn't received the ball just now shouted to Lin Hai angrily.
"Haha" Lin Hai was too lazy to pay attention to him. This guy had been against him in the previous game. He wanted to see himself making a fool of himself, but now he finally had a chance but how could he miss it?
The Clippers started with a high momentum, giving the Lakers a 16-0-0 in one fell swoop. It was so perfect that it could not be more perfect.
Xiao quickly called for a pause.
"Come on!" the little girl prayed secretly on the sidelines.
"Lin, the other party is obviously targeting you, so you have to have a good rest, Jesse, come on." Xiao made the decision. He really wanted Lin Hai to perform well, but unfortunately Lin Hai was too targeted tonight. It would be better to let him take a break, Xiao comforted himself like this.
"Yellow ghost, let me pull the score back," Kurt said arrogantly to Lin Hai.
"It depends on your performance," Lin Hai replied lightly.
"Hmph" He felt very angry when he saw Lin Hai so calm.
Perhaps because the start was too smooth and the Clippers' defense level was reduced, which gave the Lakers a chance to chase points. After the first quarter, the score came to 30-20. The Lakers were still 10 points behind.
"Lin, how do you feel?" Xiao still attaches great importance to Lin Hai.
"Coach, I can." Lin Hai still answered calmly.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Clippers recovered from their smugness before they could lead. Lin Hai seized the opportunity to give the ball to Benjamin at the basket. A beautiful assist was obtained.
The Clippers were calm and Griffin rushed straight to the basket with the ball. He deserved to be a man known as the White Magic Beast. The Lakers could not stop him at all, and he easily scored 2 points. Here, Lin Hai took the ball to organize and looked for opportunities. With a long pass from the ground, he sent it to Benjamin at the basket. Benjamin stood up straight under the basket and smashed the basket. The Lakers' momentum was greatly boosted.
What to do when facing a team that is already in full swing? Suspension! So that is why the league coaches like to pause so much. And the best of them have to mention Mr. **Vic, the most famous one is the game that was suspended at the opening time.
The timeout came back. Both sides went back and forth, the Clippers scored a goal, and the Lakers returned one goal. Although they were always behind, the score difference had reached single digits.
After halftime, the score between the two sides was 56-50. The Lakers were 6 points behind.
"Lin, your performance in the first half was not very good," Xiao said to Lin Hai.
"Yellow ghost, it's so bad!" Cote sarcastically
"Coach, I will perform well," Lin Haiddled, turned to Cote and said, "How can you, what qualifications do you have to mock me? Just because you average less than 3 assists per game, as a point guard, I am embarrassed for you."
"I..." Cotter was said to have no temper.
"Okay, the competition is about to begin, everyone is ready!" Xiao was still very majestic. After thinking about it, he said to Cote, "Cote, you go first."
"Yes, coach" Cote replied while aiming at Lin Hai, and the meaning was simply impossible to understand. "Little girl, look at me."
The second half begins.
The Clippers changed their defensive state in the second quarter. Both sides struggled. You were one on this side, and when you looked at the other side, you were so strong, you couldn't make you so lonely. Okay, you were one on this side. The first 4 minutes of the third quarter, the players on both sides didn't put a single ball into the basket.
"Damn, Cote, what are you doing?" Benjamin couldn't bear it anymore when he saw Cote taking the ball and rushing to the basket. In these 4 minutes, he could not receive a basketball from Cote.
However, Cote simply pretended that he didn't hear it and kept rushing to the basket. Seeing the basket getting closer and closer, starting, one step, two steps, layups, looking at the basketball left, Cote had already thought that he would get the first point in the second half, and then the audience shouted for him "mvp!mvp!mvp!" However, before Cote could even think about it, he felt tightening behind it.
"Bang" the basketball was stared at by Griffin on the rebound.
"I..." Cote looked at Griffin with resentment like a little resentful woman who had just been...
Looking at the resentful eyes, Griffin couldn't understand it immediately. Brother, wasn't you just a prostitute? Why did you look like I was bullied so badly? Brother, stop watching, stop watching, I serve...
Before Cote could come back to his senses, the Clippers had already scored 2 points there.
"Oh, I'm always young." Xiao sighed, and then said to Lin Hai, "Lin, you're ready, you'll come on later!" Then he called for a pause.
After the timeout, Lin Hai came on the court, and he was not surprised or confused when he got the ball. He had just thought for a long time, and it was very uncomfortable to defend closely, but if he broke through, wouldn’t it be easy to score?
Of course, it is different when thinking and when doing it. It is not that easy to get rid of the candy.
Since you like to stick to people so much, then compare your reaction speed! Lin Hai showed off a wave of dribbling under his crotch, and the audience on the sideline couldn't help but praise him. Lin Hai pretended to break through to the right, and his opponent followed closely, hehe, he was fooled, Lin Hai pulled back, stopped outside the three-point line, and made a shooting action. The opponent jumped in a hurry, Lin Hai smiled evilly, and he wanted you to jump.
"Die" the thug made a foul and three free throws!
Lin Hai was calm and steadily hit three goals.
Next, Lin Hai used his old trick again to cheat two free throws.
"Beautiful" Xiao finally showed a long-lost smile on the sidelines.
Lin Hai's move has been tried and tested. The Clippers finally couldn't help but see the score being overtaken and could no longer defend closely!
However, without close defense, Lin Hai was even more indifferent, and finally connected the entire Lakers team. If you don’t drive here, I will drive there. In a blink of an eye, the Lakers have already led by 8 points. Both sides entered the fourth quarter.
After experiencing a sluggish third quarter, Griffin finally exploded, rebounding, scoring, assisting, blocking, and all-powerful. However, he forgot that basketball is not a one-person sport. It seems that Griffin is very powerful and has assists, but he firmly controls the ball in his hands, so that his teammates can't get the ball. Everyone is young, so naturally he is a little dissatisfied. Why do you give me the ball if you want to give me the ball? Why don't you give me the ball if you don't want to give me the ball... So even if Griffin tried his best, how can he... According to the audience's idea, "How come your teammates are not good?"
The Clippers were in a singles situation, and the Lakers were having a good time, and the scores were widened step by step.
The "beep" whistle sounded, and the game came to an end. Griffin broke out in an empty score of 30 points, 15 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 blocks and 3 steals. The Lakers, led by Lin Hai, scored 7 players in double scores, and Lin Hai scored the highest score of 20 points, and had 15 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block.
Xiao looked at all Lin Hai's data, his eyes stopped on the average data column, and his mind kept trembling. How many years have passed! The Lakers have not seen the average 2012 data per game for many years. Since the person who was called the "Magic" who led the Lakers to start the "showtime" era left, it seems that no one in the Lakers has obtained the data of 10 assists per game!
On the middle of summer that year, Lin Hai won the first mvp in his life.
"Hey, handsome guy, congratulations." The little girl jumped to Lin Hai.
"..." Looking at this unprofessional reporter Lin Hai couldn't help but show a few black lines. "Hey, hello" he should be polite.
.............
After another inappropriate interview, Lin Hai was finally liberated, and the audience on the sidelines shouted his name and number to the fullest.
Lin Hai walked towards the locker room, behind him were the audience shouting and leaving, and the cute little reporter "Hey, my name is He Yiyun"
"Is He Yiyun? It sounds nice, hello, He Yiyun," Lin Hai said silently in his heart.
He has more important things, that is, go home!
Chapter completed!
