Chapter 82 Defeat the Thunder again
On the 26th, the Lakers finally returned to home court. The opponent was the Clippers next door, not strong, and Lin Hai also happened to be practicing. A weak team like the Clippers is just right.
In this battle, the Zen master quickly sent Lin Hai on, and it only took less than 4 minutes.
Lin Hai couldn't wait to experiment with his skills as soon as he came up. Facing Mo Williams' defense, he pretended to shoot, and then clicked a little more. Mo Williams was indeed fooled. Lin Hai took advantage of the fact that he jumped up and took action. Sure enough, the referee whistle sounded and two free throws were shot.
Little Mor suddenly turned black. He now completely lost the glory he had with James. Since James decided to leave Miami with his talent, his old teammates around him had scattered and retreated, and lost the glory of the past.
So this season, the Cavaliers ran towards the No. 1 pick and played the game to the end.
After a small trial, Lin Hai immediately stopped. He knew that he was the point guard, so he couldn't be too selfish. He could try it occasionally. If it was like this throughout the game, even if the teammates were not annoyed, the referee would be annoyed.
With Lin Hai's connection, the Lakers quickly gained a double-digit lead. Bynum finally played his due level in this game, making the inside player of the Clippers sour.
After the third quarter, the Lakers were already 30 points ahead, so the Zen master decisively pressed Kobe and others on the bench. This is the number of times this season. Kobe can't remember it, but he enjoys this way of playing. As long as he can win, it doesn't matter what he does.
Bynum is still on the court, and the Zen master feels that he needs to adapt to the rhythm of the game, so the Lakers' lineup is a second-level small formation mainly composed of Bynum, Lin Hai and Odom.
After playing for a while, Griffin also lost the interest in the game and ended up early. In this way, Lin Hai could continue his experiment unscrupulously.
In the end, Lin Hai's free throws were as high as 18 times. He also made 17 times very proudly, and only lost one goal. Lin Hai was also criticized for having too many free throws in garbage time.
But so what? Just as the Zen master said, he is just a rookie. Shouldn’t it be a rookie to try some data?
So Lin Hai was not burdened at all. In this game, he scored 45 points again and led the Lakers to beat the Clippers by 40 points.
The long-lost victory made the Lakers relieved, we are still so strong!
The continuous losses after the All-Star game made them a little bit doubtful about themselves. Has others found a way to restrain themselves? They couldn't believe it. But the big victory in this game made them understand that there will always be losses, but they will still be very strong after losing for a while.
However, in the away game against the Thunder on the 28th, the Lakers lost again. They lost all against the Thunder this season. It is not that the Thunder is invincible, but that the Thunder really restrains the Lakers.
In addition, no one in the Lakers team can limit Durant and let him do whatever he wants, so the Lakers did not lose to the Thunder, but to Durant. Of course, this is also because Arte did not make full efforts.
The Zen master has already greeted Atai, so he didn't have to play so hard during the regular season. The real game only started the playoffs, so Atai was considered "pretending to die" under the order.
What Lin Hai noticed was not Durant, but the first substitute in the Thunder - James Harden.
Harden's clashing skills made Lin Hai's eyes lit up. He didn't even know that there were people who were even more "shameless" than him, so Lin Hai asked Harden for contact information after the game.
Harden was a little flattered about the upstarts in the league and his contact information and happily added friends with Lin Hai. In his opinion, Lin Hai will definitely be at the level of superstar or above in the future, and he doesn't know what his future will be like.
Will you continue to play as a substitute in the Thunder?
Maybe, the two brothers take good care of themselves!
Harden laughed at himself for a while and then left the field.
After losing to the Thunder, February ended in a hurry. Looking back on the whole February, the Lakers' record was not good, but it was not bad either. They won 9 wins and 4 losses in 13 games, barely forcing them.
But Kobe is still the best player in the Western Conference in February, because his average of 33.6 points per game is too unsolvable. With no one averaging more than 30 points in the entire league, Kobe's score is really impressive. Moreover, he also won the "mvp" in the All-Star Game, so who will not give him this month? Isn't it a slap to others in the face?
The competition in the East is a bit fierce. After Anthony's travel to the east, the Knicks' record has been soaring, and Sir's performance is even more impeccable. With a per-game majesty of 29.612.3, Sir defeated James, Ross and others to win the Eastern Conference Player of the Month.
As for the rookie of the month in the East and West, it is still won by Lin Hai and Wall.
As soon as the result was announced, Griffin was so angry that he smashed his phone in his hand. He was really angry. Why couldn't he get the best of the month with an average of 22.612.5 per game?
In fact, this cannot be blamed for him. His data is the best candidate for the best rookie for many years, but he met Lin Hai, who happened to be selected as the Lakers.
So whether it is in terms of team record, data, or popularity, they are all over Griffin. More importantly, there are billions of compatriots behind Lin Hai to attract popularity for him. If he can't beat Griffin, it can only be said that the league is too dark.
At the end of February, each team also had a short vacation. Lin Hai just took the time to see Yu Qing for a while and then joined the training. He urgently needed to strengthen himself.
Of course, he did not give up practicing according to the skills in his mind. Although it still seemed to be ineffective, Lin Hai was the kind of calf who did not hit the wall and did not look back. He would not give up until the end.
Lin Hai also took the time to find Harden, but the place where the two met was a bit awkward. In a well-known nightclub venue, Lin Hai had to arm himself all over. There was no way. If the media photographed him coming to a nightclub, how would he explain to Yu Qing to go to a nightclub to talk about "ball skills"?
He didn't believe it himself.
Harden warmly invited Lin Hai to have fun. Lin Hai smiled, ignored it, just sat aside and waited.
Seeing Harden shaking his head, Lin Hai was a little suspicious that it was because this guy often appeared in such a place, so he practiced the skill of striking the porcelain?
Before Lin Hai was waiting for a long time, Harden saw that Lin Hai didn't seem to be used to a place like a nightclub, so he didn't stay there. After paying the bill, he threw the woman in his arms away, and went out with Lin Hai. The charming woman was dissatisfied. Would he rather have a man than follow him?
If Lin Hai could see the woman’s thoughts, it would be very bitter. Girl, it’s not what you think!
Finally, the two came to Harden's private training hall and started a real discussion on football skills. Harden, who Lin Hai didn't know, said everything. Similarly, Lin Hai had no reservations about Harden.
The two spent a few hours happily. While Lin Hai benefited a lot, Harden was also not the case. When Harden proposed to go for a smoking and rest, Lin Hai was still training as always.
Harden reflected for the first time that there was a reason why there was a gap between him and Lin Hai.
Behind every successful player, he has suffered hardships that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Perhaps talent can be excluded, but how long can the peak period be with talent alone?
That day, Harden thought about it for a long time...
