NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 148 One Pillar Upholding the Sky, One Quarter Ends the Suspense of the Los Angeles Derby! !

February 11th, US time.

The Los Angeles Lakers sit in the Great Western Forum Center Arena, ushering in the first game of the same city derby season!

Mention the city derby.

The Los Angeles derby between the Lakers and the Clippers must not be ignored, especially the City of Later Alleys and the Clippers of Kajiao, which are even more interesting.

Of course, the Clippers in recent years can only be said to be mediocre and have no sense of existence.

It's not the kind of team that competes for the championship, and its bad acting skills are not as good as those teams that don't want to face.

However, due to the birth of Lin Hong, the butterfly's small wings are so small, and the Clippers this season are completely different.

In this year's draft, affected by the big changes in the top three picks, the Clippers accidentally selected Fat Toutuo Antoine Walker in the seventh pick!
In the eyes of Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor, Fat Toutuo is at least the top five players in this rookie class.

But is Fat Toutuo really that good?That's not necessarily true.

Become the new core of the Clippers this season, Fat Toutuo averaged 16.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.

As a power forward with both range and support as well as diversified offensive methods, Fat Toutuo still has two brushes in offense, but his shot selection has been criticized.

A power forward takes seven or eight three-pointers at every turn, which can be said to be an outlier in the league.

The Clippers currently have a record of 6 wins and 6 losses.

Although Fat Toutuo is a data brush, at least the Clippers have a better record than the same period last season.

The team found a new cornerstone for team building, Baylor got carried away, and even publicly clamored in front of the media: The Clippers will win the championship before the Lakers.

Forehead…

The whole world regards Lord Baylor as a joke.

Only he himself believes in it and enjoys it.

It makes it seem like Antoine Walker can really carry the banner of the revival of the lob city.

I have to say that after becoming the Clippers management star, the brain circuit of the famous Lakers has indeed become relatively clear.

"Lin, show some color to our old rival in the same city."

As a guest of the Clippers at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, Lin Hong was instructed by the team coach Silver Fox Harris to directly start the killing mode.

"We're here to win."

In the pre-match interview, Antoine Walker, a confident fat man, said with a smile: "I heard that no one can beat Lin and end the victory of the Los Angeles Lakers..."

Speaking of this, Antoine Walker paused and raised his head suddenly: "Then leave it to us!"

"Everything speaks with the game!"

Fat Toutuo has never had a high fighting spirit.

This game will definitely not be a one-sided crushing situation!

"You ask me what's on my mind now?"

On the other side, accepting the pre-match interview, Lin Hong was unhurried, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I was wondering if I should have a midnight snack."

"As for the game. I have nothing to say!"

Why is there nothing to say?

the reason is simple.

The Los Angeles Clippers are mediocre, and Fat Toutuo is Lin Hong's defeat, so there is nothing to fear!

It is worth mentioning that before the start of the game, the staff specially reinforced the basketball stands on both sides.

At least to ensure that the basketball stand will not be knocked over by Lin Hong so easily.

Ready, the two sides started to stand on the field.

Fat Toutuo and Lin Hong stood on the center line, and the referee threw the ball high!
"drink!"

Antoine Walker is ready to go, go all out, showing excellent competitive state and fighting spirit!

"boom!"

It's a pity that even if he tried his best, the basketball was still transferred to Fisher by Lin Hong with a blank face!

After landing, Lin Hong didn't care about 21 [-], he strode decisively and hit the frontcourt at full speed!
Lin Hong's own strides are big, coupled with his full sprint, he directly threw the Clippers defender behind him, and the frontcourt instantly became 1v0!

Fisher was even half a beat behind, but the basketball was still in Lin Hong's hands in time!

Lin Hong who received the ball simply smashed the ball on the backboard, then stepped into the air, and dunked hard with his right hand!
"Wow even!!"

This goal directly made the fans on the sidelines exclaim!
The first attack of the Lakers' opening game, Lin Hong completed it-self-throwing and dunking, the tomahawk dunks!

"Amazing speed, although Lin's fast attack is not uncommon, but once I saw it, I was still shocked!"

"Yes, this visual impact is so strong that it makes one's scalp tingle!"

"More importantly, he still has a big head of 2 meters and an upward weight of 15 kilograms!"

"No one can stop the running heavy bulldozer!"

The Espn commentator roared passionately, and the fans on the sidelines cheered.

Lin Hong's explosive physical talent and appreciation of playing are fully displayed!
"With Lin, a celestial monster, there is no need to worry about selling tickets for the Los Angeles Lakers!"

"This is the strong market appeal of superstars, and the main reason why teams spend money in sacks."

The Clippers attacked, small guard Darrick Martin held the ball for half court, played a pick-and-roll with Antoine Walker, and then hit the ground and gave the ball to Antoine Walker!
Fat Toutuo with the ball speeds up and rushes into the three-second zone!
Looking up, it was Lin Hong who was standing inside!
"boom!"

Antoine Walker's creed is: deduct if you can, and shoot three-pointers if you can't!

Seeing Lin Hong's position on the inside, Antoine Walker took off directly, flying towards the basket like an arrow!

"Whoosh!"

Lin Hong naturally had no fear of confrontation, and directly bent his knees and jumped head-on!
The terrifying bullet speed + perverted wingspan are directly revealed!
"boom!!"

Antoine Walker felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and felt that he had hit a reinforced concrete wall, and his hands were slightly loose.

Lin Hong was not polite, and directly confiscated the basketball in his hand!

"Hat! Lin grabbed Antoine's buckle!"

"God! What kind of operation is this! What kind of operation is this!"

"Aren't we making a movie? This goal is too unbelievable, beyond my cognition!"

"The Lakers set up a no-fly zone inside! As long as there is Lin, the paint area is a no-fly zone!"

The Lakers fans on the sidelines were completely crazy. Lin Hong actually grabbed the hat and dunked Antoine Walker's full-strength leap!

And this grab cap is very clean, no down foul action!
More exaggeration is yet to come!

After catching the cap, Lin Hong held the ball directly and rushed to the frontcourt in one go!

Caught off guard, the other defenders of the Clippers couldn't catch up with Lin Hong who stepped on the gas pedal to death, and could only watch Lin Hong step on the three-point line and join the ball!
One step, two steps!

Raise the fire to burn the sky, soar into the air and slash with the tomahawk!
"Bangdang!!!"

This dunk was heavy, if the basket hadn't been strengthened, Lin Hong might have dunked it over again!

"Boys, be active on defense, and don't attack too easily!"

Clippers coach Bill Fitch anxiously supervised the battle on the sidelines and turned on roaring mode.

Before the game, he also repeatedly emphasized that he should try to avoid head-on confrontation with the Lakers inside.

Facts have proved that there is no good fruit for going head-to-head with Lin Hong in the restricted area!
Back on the offensive end, Antoine Walker held Lin Hong with his back and reached out for the ball!

"Again, I don't believe it anymore!"

Antoine Walker temporarily gave up the idea of ​​​​shooting three-pointers, and must return to the basket!
As soon as he started playing basketball, Antoine Walker lowered his head and turned around. Raising his hand was a fake shot.

Lin Hong didn't eat Akira at all, and raised his hand to interfere!

After Fat Toutuo made a tentative step, he jumped quickly, trying to catch Lin Hong by surprise!
"Whoosh!"

It's a pity that even though Walker's shot was sudden, Lin Hong's super long wingspan + abnormal bullet speed allowed him to easily reach the maximum point, and slapped the basketball into the stands!

"It seems that the inside line guarded by Lin Zhen is not just a no-fly zone!"

"It's even a no-shooting zone!"

"Facts have proved that the future star of the Clippers still has no advantage in front of Lin!"

"John, remember what Lin said before the game?"

"The game hasn't started yet, and he's already thinking about what he's going to have for supper!"

"Obviously, from the beginning of the game, Lin already knew that this was destined to be a one-sided massacre!"

In fact, it really was a massacre.

Even in the face of the Clippers' well-prepared interior defensive tower for Lin Hong, Lin Hong played a pick-and-roll with Fisher Fisher, and then lobbed the 2-meter center Lorenzen White.

To be honest, before being dunked by Lin Hong, although White felt that he would definitely not be able to catch up with Lin Hong in terms of speed.

But the tonnage and height are here, so it can slightly prevent Lin Hong's destructive power from attacking the inside line.

It turns out that he still thinks too much.

"Lin made another five-best dunk. Is he in a hurry to go home for Thanksgiving?"

"Hahaha, maybe Lorenzen is a turkey waiting to be slaughtered in Lin's eyes!"

Speaking of this, the two commentators at the scene laughed out loud.

Although this is the Clippers' home court, they still have no scruples and make jokes about the home team's stars.

The reason is also very simple.

Look at the fans seated on the sidelines.

If you don't look closely, can you spot the Los Angeles fans wearing Clippers jerseys?
There must be, but very few.

Not surprisingly, in Los Angeles in the 90s, there was one and only one home team that fans really supported, and that was the yellow-purple Los Angeles Lakers!

No way, the reality is so cruel.

When it comes to the famous Clippers, it is estimated that Bob McAdoo is currently impressive.

In the 1972-1976 season, he averaged 28.2 points and 12.7 rebounds per game, winning the scoring title for three consecutive years.

尤其是在1974-75赛季，麦卡杜以场均34.5分、14.1个篮板和2.12次盖帽拿下常规赛MVP。

Who else but him?

Basically no! !
Compared with the Lakers luxury star background, the Clippers are scum! !

Before Lin Hong joined, the Lakers were in a trough, and the Clippers still had a little sense of presence, but after Lin Hong joined, this sense of presence fell directly to the bottom.

Back to the game.

Fat Toutuo, who was frequently deflated inside, directly exposed the nature of the king of three-point shooting. He frequently fired shots outside the three-point line, and his hit rate was shockingly low.

Fat Toutuo, who spoke boldly before the game, was blocked in the paint, and then got lost outside the three-point line.

After playing the entire first quarter, Fat Toutuo made 7 of 1 shots and barely broke through zero points, but did not grab a single rebound.

数据栏上2分0板0助攻0抢断以及2个失误的表现，格外扎眼。

What made him feel ashamed the most was that the opposite Lin Hong also played the entire first quarter.

投篮9中8，罚球5中3，强势砍下19分，外加7个篮板4次封盖的全面数据！

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers took a 15-point lead!

Before the game, although all the fans thought it would be a one-sided game, they didn't expect it to fall so quickly.

The game has just begun, and it is over!
Lin Hong's terrifying offensive and defensive dominance killed the suspense of the game ahead of time.

"The Los Angeles Lakers can celebrate the victory in advance. They won the new season with 13 consecutive victories!!"

"No way, coach, we did everything we could."

Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, United States.

End of the first quarter, inter-section break.

On the Clippers bench, Fat Toutuo Antoine Walker lowered his head like a quail, with a bitter expression on his face.

"Lin blew up our defense, he did whatever he wanted in the paint, he was unstoppable."

Lin Hong is not only incomprehensible on the offensive end, but also has set up a no-fly zone in the penalty area.

It is even more deadly.

Even if the Clippers can't defend Lin Hong, they can still fight Lin Hong.

But the key point is that Fat Toutuo was completely lost and couldn't even attack.

"I know I know."

Clippers coach Bill Fitch nodded helplessly, and patted Fat Toutuo on the shoulder: "Antoine, try to use your strengths."

"Don't carry too much burden!"

That's what I said, but regret is inevitable.

Different cities have different fates. After experiencing a brief trough, the Lakers ushered in a revival this season, and the Los Angeles Clippers will become a stepping stone for the Lakers.

In the second quarter of the game, the rotation players of the two sides staged a pecking game. It was not until the second half of the quarter that Lin Hong led the team back to the court and directly started the unparalleled mode.

After 5 minutes and 40 seconds of bombardment, the inside line of the Clippers was instantly battered and crumbling.

The ESPN commentator even shouted again and again: "Don't ignore me, this is the most powerful inside dominance I have ever seen!"

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

Under Lin Hong's strong performance, all members of the Clippers were in a downturn, and Muji took up the challenge!

After halftime, the Los Angeles Lakers scored a terrifying 68 points!
The Los Angeles Clippers only scored a poor 34 points!
The huge score difference of 34 points in the halftime directly concluded this city derby!

The most exaggerated thing is that Lin Hong scored 38 points, 20 rebounds and 8 blocks in the halftime!
"There is still a lot of time left. Will Lin continue to appear on the stage and set a new season high score!"

"We must cherish the present time, this is the next superstar of the nba!"

The two commentators were completely convinced, and they boasted to Lin Hong.

Many fans on the sidelines were already ready to move, and took out their mobile phones to take a quick picture of Lin Hong.

Lin Hong will definitely become the next super giant.

The timely photos on the scene will definitely be like family heirlooms!

With the flashes of the sideline cameras constantly flashing, the halftime break ended.

Even with the huge point difference, Silver Fox Harris didn't let Lin Hong clock out of get off work.

He seemed to have reached a silent consensus with the fans, commentator and Lin Hong.

At the same time, it will also be the night when he leaves historical data!
At the beginning of the third quarter, the inside line of the Clippers was completely reduced to Lin Hong's background board.

After playing for 4 minutes in a single quarter, Lin Hong scored 8 points again, grabbed 5 rebounds, and sent 3 blocks!
The point difference was too big, under the eyes of the fans reluctantly, Silver Fox Harris finally replaced Lin Hong!
"mvp!"

"mvp!"

"mvp!"

The Clippers' home court suddenly sounded the mvp call, resounding through the sky.

Lin Hong smiled and put his palm next to his ear, making a gesture of listening!
His response was comparable to a catalyst, and the cheers in the arena gradually climbed to the top!
In the end, under the cheers of the fans, the Los Angeles Lakers directly crushed and won the opening 13 consecutive victories!

With a huge advantage of 40 points, they slaughtered the Los Angeles Clippers!

"This is a hearty massacre!"

"In other words, Lin's talent, strength, and potential can completely suppress Antoine!"

"The Los Angeles Lakers continue to set a record for the team's opening winning streak and make great strides!"

In the end, Lin Hong scored a triple-double with 46 points, 25 rebounds and 11 blocks in three quarters.

Increased his consecutive 45+20 games to 4 games.

You know, in the history of the NBA, only the ancient beast Chamberlain has more 45+20 times in a single game than Lin Hong.

Even if he is as powerful as Shaquille O'Neal, he only has 45+20 three times in his career!
However, if you lower your requirements a bit and become 35+15, you may still be able to break your wrist.

However, the master's trick is to compare high-level data, who will lower the standard with you? !

At the level of a super center, the conditions will only be more stringent!
Winning the Los Angeles Derby, the Lakers' winning streak at the start of the season has come to an astonishing 14 consecutive victories!

Today, the Rockets took a break from the big dream, but unfortunately lost to the Spurs, which sent a wave of warmth to the Spurs.

So far this season, the only undefeated team is the Los Angeles Lakers.

Not only do they lead the Western Conference with a record of 13 wins and 0 losses, they also rank first in the league's record!

"The next game, the Los Angeles Lakers will be playing at home against the Seattle SuperSonics.

"Gary Payton and Sean Kemp will not show mercy to this young Laker!"

"But the good news is that in the next game, the Lakers will welcome back the team's No. [-] - Kobe Bryant!"

"Kobe Bryant's next comeback, together with Lin Hong VS Gary Payton + Sean Kemp, this is destined to be a nationally broadcast focus battle, not to be missed!"

The one-sided Los Angeles Derby obviously has nothing to say.

The commentator from ESPN on the sidelines simply sent a wave of game previews directly after the game.

as he said.

After the Los Angeles Derby is over, the Los Angeles Lakers are about to face the challenge of the supersonics.

Although people are still immersed in the four consecutive 45+20 performances led by Lin Hong's single-core team, they can't extricate themselves.

But Silver Fox Harris was very worried, who knew if there would be any potential injuries if he played Lin Hong hard in these four games.

But the good news is that Kobe will make a comeback in the next game, allowing Lin Hong to rest as much as possible and reduce playing time appropriately.

This is what it means to be the second master.

However, the matter of Kobe's comeback is temporarily put aside.

The United States ushered in a rare Thanksgiving holiday.

The official still arranged two games: Mavericks VS Nets, Warriors VS Bucks.

Because the Lakers didn't have a game, the team management waved their hands and went straight to the holiday.

Seeing the team's vacation notice, Lin Hong finally understood why the Los Angeles Lakers are much more popular than the Celtics despite being one of the top teams in the league.

Because the Lakers' team culture is indeed relatively humane.

Look at the Celtics in the Danny Ainge era in the future. For the team's rise, without hesitation, even Pierce, who played in the Celtics for 15 seasons, was traded out.

As for Thomas Jr., who played in the playoffs in a closed game, it was even more miserable. He was directly abandoned by the Celtics, reduced to a marginal player, and wandered around various teams.

Look at the Lakers again. At the end of his career, Corvo still signed a big pension contract and retired with dignity.

The Lakers have a big structure. They know how to treat Kobe well, and use the postponement of reconstruction to prove to the world: If players pay for the Lakers, the team will be grateful.

After a short one-day vacation, basically he would not go home. Lin Hong, a loner, spent his second Thanksgiving in the United States with the company of his teammates.

February 11th, US time.

First game after Thanksgiving.

The Los Angeles Lakers ushered in their last opponent in November, the Seattle SuperSonics, at their home court!
Mention this supersonic.

It is impossible not to mention their powerful inside and outside duo combination-Glove Payton + Rainman Kemp!

As the league's steals leader + league's best defensive player last season, Glove Payton's death entanglement is not in vain.

In the finals of last season, when the Sonics were behind by a big score of 0:3, the Jedi counterattacked, moved two games in a row, and chased the big score to 2:3!

The biggest credit must be credited to Payton who defended Jordan.

Facing the defense of the glove, Jordan's performance in the finals of last season was still stable, but compared with the strong performance of the previous rounds of the series, there was indeed a significant decline.

Of course.

Even Michael Jordan, who was in decline, averaged 27.3 points per game in last year's Finals.

But in any case, Payton is the most successful guard defending Jordan in the minds of many fans, definitely not one of them!

In addition to Payton, Supersonic Beast power forward Rainman Kemp is also full of lethality.

You know, the Seattle SuperSonics were able to sweep the Houston Rockets led by Dream and Glider 4:0, and defeated the mighty Utah Jazz in a 4:3 tiebreaker in the Western Conference Finals.

Relying not only on Glove Payton's strong perimeter defense, but also on Kemp's explosive performance against the big dream Olajuwon and Postman Malone!

Rain Man Kemp is truly an amazing guy.

In the 90s, in an environment full of insiders, Kemp insisted on practicing [-] kinds of martial arts.

On the offensive end, Kemp is proficient in everything, whether it is face-to-basket, low post, air cut after pick-and-roll, or mid-range jumper!
On the defensive end, Kemp moves surprisingly fast, has excellent height and wingspan, and can block shots and steals with both hands.

Therefore, Kemp the Rainman was given the label of the first-generation Beastist power forward by the fans!
In later generations, many people even compared the bully Stoudemire and the white monster Griffin with Camp the Rain Man.

In fact.

Kemp's scoring methods and defense are better than Stoudemire's.

His pair of long arms is even more unattainable for Griffin with short arms.

It is precisely because of Kemp's strength and Payton's offensive and defensive versatility that the powerful Sonics have won two consecutive sets last season.

This season, the Sonics are still one of the western powerhouses recognized by the media.

The remaining two Western Conference teams are the Houston Rockets of the Big Three and the Salt Lake Jazz of the Utah Shuangsha.
