Chapter 282 Oprah's Talk Show Scene
With the crazy quartet in the summer trading market and the crazy [-]-game undefeated horror in November, which created the NBA's opening winning streak, the entire Los Angeles Clippers have been put under the microscope of the league's powerful players.

Almost all the media are touting the strength of the Los Angeles Clippers. They can’t wait to directly say that the Clippers have locked up the NBA championship this year, and everyone in the Clippers knows the truth that if they are hot, they will die, so Mike Dunleavy always thinks about it before every game. The method is to cool down the state of the team to dispel the pride in the team as much as possible, and at this time the veterans played a key role. They set an example for the young players. Under such circumstances, the Clippers were able to win all the way.

But there are always people who like to pick the bones in the egg and say that the Clippers' [-]-game winning streak is not enough gold.

"Behind the beautiful record of sixteen consecutive victories" - "Cleveland Sentinel" The heat of the Los Angeles Clippers has almost swept across the United States, and they can be seen in every corner of the newspaper. Yes, it is undeniable that the opening sixteen consecutive victories The new NBA record is scary enough. The victory of sixteen games is not simply a superposition of difficulty one game after another but a gradual process. It is a great feat to be undefeated in sixteen games, but in this beautiful record Let's see what's behind it. Please allow me to define the teams outside the Eastern and Western playoffs as teams with slightly weaker strength. Then we turn over the Clippers' winning streak and count them once, and finally find that ten In the six games, the weaker teams were the majority. Among the victorious teams, only five teams participated in the East and West playoffs last season. They were the San Antonio Spurs, New Orleans Hornets, Denver Nuggets, and Detroit Pistons. , Philadelphia 76ers, but San Antonio is the recognized strong team in the league, and their loss to the Clippers in the first game is not necessarily due to a gap in strength or a problem of chemical reaction.So can it be said that the gold content of this sixteen-game winning streak is insufficient?In the end, please be reasonable about each team's victory, there may be other things worthy of attention.

Although the "Cleveland Sentinel" article seems to be just an ordinary article, the offensive is not very strong, and it is an innovation to take an alternative route in the trend of favoring the Clippers, but it is natural to contact other media in Cleveland I thought of it because it was just speaking for the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers in the new season did not get any specific reinforcements. They only signed Anthony Parker and lost the insider Ben Wallace, which led to the team lineup. The internal strength has dropped a lot to a certain extent, but the Cavaliers in the new season are still strong. Under the leadership of James, they only lost two games in November. Valuable player rankings firmly occupy the top two.

December 12 is another year of Christmas, and this day will be the most direct dialogue between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Clippers. Before that, the Clippers still have 25 games, 24 games in [-] days The strength is not too great.

On December 12, the Los Angeles Clippers' first game in the new month was against the Dallas Mavericks, a game that was defined by many expert media as possibly ending the winning streak.

Facts have proved that this may not exist. Losing Brandon Bass inside and only gaining Drew Gooden's Mavericks did not improve the strength of their most needed center position.

In the first quarter of the game, the Clippers started the inside line. Shaquille O'Neal and Roaring God Wallace gave the Dallas Mavericks an unforgettable memory. The two scored 27 points in a single quarter together. With a lot of scoring data, Mark Cuban looked at the inside of the Clippers on the court and then looked at the inside of the Clippers off the court, and his hatred for the Orlando Magic deepened in his heart.

In the first 8 minutes of Lin Fei's first quarter, he didn't take a single shot and completely became a green leaf. Even at the end of the first half, Lin Fei only took two shots and four free throws to score 9 points. This score is far lower than that of Lin Fei in the first half of the season. He averaged points per game, but Lin Fei set a new record for assists in the first half - nine times, and this number is only four times away from Lin Fei's career assist record in a single game. With 7 rebounds, he laid a solid foundation for his triple-double data.

The second half of the game undoubtedly belonged to Roy Hibbert and Lamar Odom. The two substitutes formed a new inside combination. Odom's organization and support, Hibbert's inside killing made the Mavericks even more deadly. In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, the game had completely lost its suspense. The 24-point difference made Nowitzki close his eyes. He deeply felt that the championship was getting closer and closer to him. For the first time, he thought of leaving if the team did not continue to strengthen.

And in this game where the Clippers played the leading role in the inside line, Lin Fei unknowingly won the No. 12 triple-double in his career, which is also his fourth triple-double in the new season. The only regret is that Lin Fei and his personal The assist record slipped by.

With the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Clippers extended their opening streak to [-] games with back-to-back wins over the Portland Trail Blazers and the Milwaukee Bucks.

而林飞凭借十一月场均贡献25.4分（联盟第7），5.7个篮板6.2次助攻2.1次抢断（联盟第5）1.3次封盖1.6次失误和命中率59.8%三分命中率56.4%罚球命中率97.5%带领球队十六场不败的超级表现当之无愧的获得了西部首月最有价值球员，而迈克邓利维则获得了西部首月最佳教练，詹姆斯则荣获了东部最有价值球员。

"Lin, I have some news for you. There is a show you must attend." The voice of Bob Pelinka on the other end of the phone entered Lin Fei's ears.

"What program?" Lin Fei was a little surprised what program Pelinka said he had to participate in. In the past, Lin Fei had to agree to participate in some programs because he really didn't have time. Lin Fei would choose to refuse.

"A talk show, the most famous talk show in the United States, what do you say? Dude, you don't know it?" Pelinka said jokingly.

"Oprah Winfrey?" Lin Fei couldn't believe that this show would invite him. He used to like to watch this show because it was usually topic-based, focusing on practical issues closely related to ordinary people's lives, trying to Through the discussion and analysis of typical cases, people will be provided with a guiding suggestion. In addition, some top stars in the world will be invited to participate in the event.Lin Fei never thought that one day he would be on the most popular talk show in the United States.

"Yes, it's her. Dude, after being invited by her, I can guarantee that your income will increase." Pelinka's voice was very proud. In his opinion, he chose to be Lin Fei's manager at the beginning. Very correct decision.

"Okay, Pelinka, my income will increase a crop, when exactly, there are more games recently."

"Don't you know it's a week later when you play Chicago? God, Chicago is Oprah's home. You don't know. You expect Oprah to fly to LA to record you? Bush didn't have that Treatment, okay, let’s not talk nonsense, it’s best to kill the bull before going on the show, hehe.” Pelinka’s sinister smile made Lin Fei’s hairs stand on end.

Challenging the Chicago Bulls is the end of the Clippers' first three-game streak in the East in the new season. Before that, they still need to face the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors, and then the Bulls.

And the process of the game was just like this. He defeated the Pacers without bloodshed in the away game, and then went to Toronto. Lin Fei contributed 22 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in the new season. His fifth triple-double data led the team to a 17-point victory over the opponent.

Lin Fei's more versatile performance has become a phenomenon in the league, and Lin Fei's opposite is the little emperor James. James ranked second in the personal triple-double list in the new season with four times. After the dragon, James also contributed a triple-double against the Bobcats in the next game. The two were fiercely competing invisibly.

The best player in the East and West in the latest week was also taken back by Lin Fei and James. This is the seventh week of the new season, but the two have won four times at the same time. Such two people have made many media feel emotional. Huangxi crazy.

"Their strength is at the top of the league, but we will not just admit defeat without a fight. We will try our best to play and strive to bring victory to the Chicago fans. This is our greatest wish." Derrick Rose faced reporters. Say so.

And he did the same in the game. He blew up the Clippers' back line alone, but in the end he was outnumbered. He was defeated in front of the strong Los Angeles Clippers. Contest.

Winning the game against the Bulls is also the Clippers' No.20 second win at the start of the season. The record of 22 consecutive victories also tied the second longest winning streak in NBA history created by the Houston Rockets. In the eyes of expert media, the Clippers It is not impossible for the team to break the terrifying 33-game winning streak of the Lakers. Some media have even advocated that the Clippers will definitely step on the Bulls' record of 72 wins and 10 losses. psychology.

"Lin, it's time for you to get ready to go." Pelinka specially reminded Lin Fei in case Lin Fei would forget the time.

When Lin Fei came to the recording site of Oprah's talk show in the Harpo building, he saw the most successful black woman in the United States - Oprah Winfrey.

Competence is Oprah's first feeling for Lin Fei, and strength is Oprah's second feeling for Lin Fei.

The TV personality with the highest annual income in the United States showed a friendly smile, "Welcome to Oprah."

"It's my pleasure!"

"This is a live broadcast and not a recording, so you have to prepare well and don't let yourself lose face in front of the female fans." Oprah said with a smile.

"Then are you my fan?" Lin Fei's sudden response stirred up the atmosphere.

"Of course, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future!"

Oprah reached out and shook Cao Tian's hand!The staff took Lin Fei to the backstage makeup artist for simple makeup and gave Lin Fei an interview question list, but the staff told Lin Fei that some questions were not included here, and Lin Fei needed to answer them on the spot.

After everything was ready, Lin Fei came to the front desk and sat on the big sofa, while Oprah sat on the other side, just like a simple conversation between friends, this is not the first time Lin Fei has been on the show so Lin Fei didn't feel nervous, everything was natural.

"Lin, are you ready?" Oprah asked, and after receiving Lin Fei's answer, she signaled the cameraman, lighting engineer, and all staff to get ready.

"Dear viewers and friends, welcome to this issue of "Oprah's Talk Show". Today our topic is not your life or your health, but an interview with a popular person, or an interview with an idol. Let us welcome the NBA with warm applause. Lin, the core of the Los Angeles Clippers." As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into warm applause.

"Lin, first question, what did the NBA mean to you when you were younger?"

"It's nothing, or just a stage for appreciation!"

"Is it nothing?" Oprah obviously couldn't believe Lin Fei's words.

"I am a very realistic guy. My physical fitness and height determine that I should not fantasize about the NBA, so when I was young, the NBA meant nothing to me!"

"So when did you start to like basketball? And made you change your decision to develop in basketball and become a star in the NBA?"

"Basketball has always been my favorite, but I decided to develop in basketball because my life has reached the extreme point of distress. In order to make a living, I was found by a producer. He told me that I could become a star, as long as I went to shoot The movie must be okay, I believed it, and then the final reality was that it was a lie, and I was so annoyed that I decided to forget about those fantasies and make a good down-to-earth effort, but then Bonnie Laughlin was the one who found me on the street and she told I can go to the Lakers and try."

"Such a good opportunity? You must have not believed it at the first time, right?"

"Yeah, I was scammed not long ago, so I thought it was a lie at first, but Bonnie gave me the ID and I thought it might be true, so I decided to give it a try, and luckily I stayed down."

"Can a certificate convince you? As far as I know, Bonnie is a beautiful woman. Is it because of her beauty?" Oprah's temporary question made Lin Fei unexpected.

"Okay, I mean, no one will believe it?" Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression, "Obviously you don't believe it."

"I heard that you got the approval of Phil Jackson by defeating Kobe Bryant, right? Did you feel that the god of fate finally favored you at that moment?"

"Yes, when I saw Bryant, I was so excited that I almost asked him for an autograph. I am no different from any ordinary fan. Then my three-pointer touched them. You know I have three-pointers. Super confident."

"Your progress is obvious. You can see your progress in almost every game. Do you have any secrets of success? It takes less than two years from a rookie who only knows three-pointers to a superstar."

"The secret of success? I also really want to know. In fact, I am still on the road to success. Bryant told me that as long as you work hard and don't give up, God will always think of you."

"This is why God often wears the No. [-] jersey, because you often put God in your heart? I think I should do the same to make God like me more." Oprah's humor sparked laughter at the scene.

"There is always a price to be paid for being famous. Do you like your life like this? Always living in the spotlight? There are always many reporters following you."

"To be honest, I don't like this kind of life, I like the quiet life, I like the life without attention!"

"I don't like it, are you serious? This is such an unexpected answer!" Oprah looked disbelieving!

"Seriously, I really don't like it, I don't like being the center of attention, always living under a magnifying glass and facing a lot of pressure, I don't like it. The me you see now is real, and the me on the court is real Yes. But there are two sides to everything, as you can see I don't want to give you any false impression, I'm not a good person, but I'm not a bad person either. I want to try to keep my original self and not change myself because of being famous. Be the truest self and enjoy playing and enjoying life!"

"Do you think you have a strong personality? I heard that when you were in the Lakers, you often had disputes with Bryant. The whole world knows that Bryant is a paranoid. Are you too?"

"It should be considered. To survive in this world, one must be ambitious, cheerful, and careless. This is a psychological quality, and treat experience as a game. I have to face everyday things and face life. I must have a strong mentality. Mental quality has to be stronger than others. Bryant has always been my idol, and his character is destined to succeed."

"You mean you'll be successful too?"

"Why not? I believe my hard work will bring success."

"You, Shaq, Rasheed, Ron, Andre... What kind of expectations do you have for the Clippers this season when so many stars gather together? You must know that you are all over the United States now, and almost everyone The media can see your news."

"The most basic thing is to play. We try our best to play well in every game. We are exhausted in the training camp. You know, for us, the regular season is not a problem, the key is the playoffs. When we What will we do after entering the playoffs, no one wants to know what we did in the regular season, they already know that we are a good team, our goal is clearly the championship, and for it Work hard, a clear goal is more helpful for us to work hard together! We have not achieved it for two consecutive seasons, and our goal has never been so firm as this season. We are going for the championship." This is Lin Fei's first Once in public, he directly stated his expectations for this season.

"Are you proud of having so many good teammates? They are all superstars! What do you think of such a team?"

"That's great, I never imagined playing with so many superstars who are good enough to be selected into the Hall of Fame! But every team is not decided by a few people, we are a team, a good team, a good management Good support staff with the coaching staff, of course there are excellent players, everyone is an important part of the team, this is TEAM, so it is the most basic for everyone to work hard together!"

"Then I'll ask you one last question about basketball, who is the best player in the NBA today?"

"I believe Bryant is still the best player in the game. His experience and comprehensive ability are the best, LeBron, Dwight, Tracy, Kevin, they are also one of the best players in this league .”

"Why don't you have yourself, are you not confident enough? I thought you would say that the best player is yourself."

"Can I tell you that there is a saying in China called modesty? In fact, I have already said that I am one of them." Lin Fei replied half-jokingly.

"Next I will ask you some sensitive questions, such as your past and relationship, you don't mind, right?"

"Can I say no?" Lin Fei asked back.

"You are a Chinese American who grew up in Los Angeles. Can you tell me if you have ever suffered from racial discrimination? Although the United States is a democratic country, this country needs more efforts."

Oprah's question is undoubtedly too sensitive, Lin Fei hesitated.

"This is Oprah's talk show, and it's all true." Oprah saw what Lin Fei was thinking.

"Yes." Lin Fei's answer was very short.

"Can you be more specific?"

……

The one-and-a-half-hour talk show entered the last 10 minutes. The front part was basketball and past life, which mainly revolved around racial discrimination. Lin Fei's admiration for Oprah was deeper than before.

"Next, let's get into the topics that women in the United States are most interested in, OK?" Oprah asked with a smile.

The black line on Lin Fei's head, obviously he has already thought of what it is.

"Let's take a look at the big screen first." Following the words, various highlights and celebrations of Lin Fei's games appeared on the huge screen behind Lin Fei. Once again, the scene turned to the audience, and the scenes of Scarlett Johansson, Irene Andrews, Jessica Biel, Eliza Cuthbert, and Chen Xiyan appeared one by one. , and Scarlett's shots are undoubtedly the most. In the end, the VCR freezes after the rookie season in Dallas. Scarlett hides behind Lin Fei, and in front of Lin Fei is Ryan Reynolds.

Looking at the expressions of the girls in the VCR, Lin Fei felt a lot of emotion. This is his lifetime happiness, but he can't give everyone the public happiness. No woman wants to accept the public happiness.

"It seems that this resonated with Lin Fei. We all know that Scarlett Johansson is Lin's girlfriend. Now let's invite Scarlett Johansson." Oprah's voice stunned Lin Fei. Scarlett Li also came, and Scarlett turned her head and walked out of the backstage with rhythmic steps.
