Chapter 121 The Great War With My Good Brother

Before I knew it, it was the end of the season. In the last game of the season, I played against a team that was still a good brother.

This wave, sparrow food is a coincidence and couldn't be more coincidental.

Considering that the Warriors are now 59 wins, they are already firmly seated in the top three in the Western Conference.

And there is no chance to surpass the Rockets and Supersonics who have 62 wins and have not played a game.

So it seems that winning or losing this game has no effect on the Warriors.

But actually?
Old Nelson knew very well, and so did Lin Xing, that this match was actually very important.

The Warriors are now third in the Western Conference, and their opponent in the first round of the playoffs is sixth in the Western Conference.

At present, the Jazz and the Suns are fifth and sixth, and their records are only half a game away.

It's hard to say who will be fifth and who will be sixth in the end.

The Warriors can't pick their opponents in the first round of the playoffs.

But if their vision is long enough, they will find that they can still pick their opponents in the second round of the playoffs.

"As long as they beat the Sonics, the Sonics will fall to No. [-] in the West."

"According to the rules of the playoffs, if we pass the first round and the second round of the playoffs, our opponent will be the winner between the second in the Western Conference and the seventh in the Western Conference."

"Maybe we will fall in the first round, but we must also consider who our opponent will be in the second round of the playoffs after the first round."

"So now, we have the opportunity to pick our opponent in the second round of the playoffs. If it were you, who would you pick?"

Lin Xing threw this question to Xiaochong, and Xiaochong said without hesitation, "Nonsense, who the hell would choose Rocket?"

Although the Sonics also killed the Warriors three times, in fact, the gap between these three games is not big, and Lin Xing was not even in one of them.

Compared with the Rockets who killed the Warriors four times and gave no chance in four games, the Sonics are not invincible.

In particular, if this game wins, it will prove even more that the Warriors still have a good chance against the Sonics.

In fact, Lin Xing also feels that from a theoretical point of view, it is not very difficult to solve the problem of supersonic speed.

Looking back at the three games the Warriors lost to the Sonics, we must first put aside the first loss caused by Lin Xing's absence.

Secondly, the second loss was also caused by the exhaustion of physical fitness and poor state after a back-to-back battle.

It was the third defeat, which can be regarded as being crushed by the supersonic tactics.

George Karl is well aware of the Warriors' counterattack style, and the focus is on Lin Xing's eight-cylinder engine.

So he used Payton, who already had the name of the glove at this time, to mark Lin Xing all over the court, thus strangling the Warriors' counterattack.

But if Lin Xing finds a way to tear apart Payton's marking, George Karl's strategy will fail.

So, how does Lin Xing tear apart Payton's marking?

"It's the playoffs, and it's time to add points."

So before the game, Lin Xing entered the system and spent more than 2 million blood points.

He directly increased the back attack attribute to 80, and activated the badge: back body megalodon.

Then he used the remaining blood value to push the pass to 77 points.

Playing back and passing the ball is the answer given by Lin Xing at the critical moment when the regular season ends and the playoffs begin.

……

Because it was an away game, the Warriors arrived in Seattle after a short flight on the day of the game.

Whether it's on the plane, staying in the hotel after landing, or in the locker room before the game...

Nelson didn't even mention the reason why they had to win the game.

However, his emphasis is still reflected through the targeted arrangements before the game.

"Sta, in this game, your opponent will be replaced by Detlef Schramf..."

In fact, the Warriors lost to the Supersonics in the last game, not only because Lin Xing was blocked.

You know, although Lin Xing was blocked, he also blocked Kemp when he turned around.

This is equivalent to the fact that the two power forwards of the two teams exchanged each other.

As long as the other Warriors players play normally, they won't lose.

But the result was that Xiao Chong was also stared to death by Kendall Gill, and on the defensive end, they failed to guard Schramf.

As a European player, Schramf's style and characteristics are somewhat similar to Kukoc.

Both of them are forwards who can do three things and four things. They shoot accurately and have outstanding ability to organize and support.

Compared with Kukoc, he also has a back-handed hit, and he has outstanding heads-up ability, which can be regarded as the explosive point of this Supersonic team.

In the last match between the two teams, Schramf scored 27 points, and the matchup beat the madman.

So in this game, Nelson replaced Lin Xing to defend Schramf.

As for Kemp, he decided to give it to Tyrone Hill, and then the madman went to mark the space-type fifth position Sam Perkins, along with a little assist defense task.

With such an arrangement, the matchup in this game was completely chaotic.

The Supersonic matchup arrangement is actually very chaotic. Before the game, George Karl's arrangement was still the same as the last match.

Peyton misplaced to stare at Lin Xing, and Kemp could only guard Mullin. Correspondingly, Schrempf also had to move down to stare at Madman.

Such a chaotic counterpoint can be regarded as a great spectacle of the 90s.

But for the Warriors and SuperSonics, two rare offensive teams in the 90s, such chaotic matchups are their characteristics.

……

In the key arena before the game, Lin Xing just got the ball and was about to shoot two three-pointers.

Then, the team's press officer came to the door.

"Sta, go and accept the pre-match interview."

When Lin Xing heard this, he wanted to spread his hands: "Does it have to be me?"

But he knew that he couldn't refuse the interviews before and after the game.

So, he shook his head and walked to the sidelines, and it turned out to be his old friend Marv Albert.

"Then to make a long story short, Si Da, can you respond to those voices who question that you are a pseudo-strong team?"

Albert quickly asked a question, and soon, Lin Xing surprised him with a sentence:
"Pseudo-strong team? When did we become a strong team?"

Albert was taken aback by this answer.

"Ah, you guys with 59 wins and even a chance to get 60 wins, aren't you a strong team?"

"If you think we are a strong team, groom, you can refute those who think we are a fake strong team, and don't leave this question to me."

Albert was stunned, and Lin Xing spread his hands: "Is there no problem? There is no problem, I will leave."

As a result, this time, Albert reacted in time and grabbed Lin Xing.

"No, no, Sta, there is one more question."

"One more question? Let's hurry up then."

"The last time you played against the Sonics, you were locked up by Gary Payton. Do you think the Sonics will use Gary Payton to defend you in this game?
Facing Payton's defense, can you do something different and break through his blockade?

And in this game, who do you think has a better chance of winning? "

Listening to Albert's series of questions, Lin Xing knew that this person was in a hurry, and the three urgent questions were directly combined into one question.

But after the question was finished in one breath, Albert showed a smug expression.

Apparently, he felt that he had finally beaten Lin Xing once in the interviews before and after the match.

But in the end, Lin Xing gave an answer that made him vomit blood.

"We're going to win this game!"

What about two more questions?Why don't you answer two more questions?
Lin Xing doesn't care about this. He thinks that they all won the game. Is Payton's defense still a problem?
……

On the other side of the court, the home team Supersonics also played.

Payton was very snarky, and he came over directly before the game and raised a finger:
"After this game, I will kill you two four times."

Lin Xing turned back unceremoniously: "Then we have to wait for you to finish this game?"

This time, Peyton shrugged:

"Stats, don't be crazy, I'm the one against you in this game, don't forget your shooting percentage in the early [-]s in the last game..."

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but that's already in the past. Gary, in this game, I will let you see my progress during this period."

"Progress? No matter how much progress you make, you are still the little brother under Uncle Peyton. To be a little brother, you must have the consciousness of a little brother, understand?"

Peyton's trash talking, I have to say, every sentence has the upper hand.

Especially the younger brother. When he was young, he was indeed Peyton's younger brother. There is really no way to refute this.

Therefore, Lin Xing could only use his big move:

"How about making a bet? If I win this game, you will call me your big brother for a year."

"What if you lose?"

Payton is not discouraged either. With the previous three victories as a base, he has a lot of confidence in this game.

"If I lose, I'll buy you a Ferrari!"

Payton's eyes lit up when he heard Ferrari.

Although he won the NCAA championship with Long Beach a year ago, he has already bought a Ferrari.

But who would have too much of a sports car?
Payton, who thought he had won the game, had a look of joy.

He probably calculated that if he wins this game, the Sonics will be number one in the league.

For himself, the achievement of killing Lin Xing and Xiao Chong four times is nothing compared to a Ferrari.

But as long as he wins this wave, he will be number one in the league, kill Lin Xing and Xiao Chong four times, and take all a Ferrari.

"Then it's a deal, and no one is allowed to go back on their word!"

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.

After a wave that looked very intense to the naked eye, in fact, it was Lin Xing who unilaterally crushed Kemp's jump ball, and the Warriors got the ball at the beginning of the game.

After the jump ball, Lin Xing fell to the left, and Payton followed him.

Xiao Chong is still in control of the ball. According to the Warriors' practice, he should pass the ball to Lin Xing immediately after.

But for this game, the Warriors have a special arrangement.

Old Nelson knew that Payton would face Lin Xing, so he thought of avoiding his edge, and tried to find a way to open gaps from Xiaoworm, Madman and even Mullin.

The first thing to try is the bug.

Xiao Chong's personal ability is still outstanding, although Lin Xing and him reproduced Jane Wei's connection.

But from the perspective of personal style, Xiao Chong is more like Irving who partnered with Azhan in those years.

Outstanding singles ability, even off the ball a little bit, just a little bit.

But just a little off the ball, and the partner Lin Xing, who is not so big in comparison, is enough.

And now, when it was time for Xiao Chong to stand up, he did.

Facing Kendall Gill's defense, Xiao Chong took a cross step, swayed out with one step, and swayed directly to the basket.

At the basket, he hit Sam Perkins' help defense and pulled the bar for a layup.

In this way, at the beginning of the game, the Warriors scored 2 points first.

On the sidelines, Old Nelson showed no expression.

Because he knows that the two points that Xiao Chong gets are a bit like tasteless, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to discard them.

The reason? The main reason is that Xiao Chong's two points can't bring the Warriors' counterattack rhythm.

If it is to drive a counterattack, it has to be Lin Xing.

This thing does not mean that you can pass the ball well or run fast.

To put it bluntly, this thing also depends on talent.

For example, Master Wei's talent for driving counterattacks is top-of-the-line.

In this regard, Lin Xing is a bit like Master Wei, and he is also a typical type of overtaking all kinds of cars when he rushes up, but he still can't hold back.

In comparison, Xiaochong is much worse, or in other words, he is not a master at all.

For the Warriors, the counterattack team, Xiao Chong's two points are just two dry points.

It can be said that apart from adding two points to the Warriors' scoreboard, it has no effect.

Turn around, supersonic attack.

They also played very fast, almost as soon as the ball reached the frontcourt, Payton made a breakthrough.

The opposing Xiao Chong couldn't stop him at all, he could only watch Peyton rush in, and then meet the madman's help defense.

Then, it was a pass to find Sam Perkins who was wandering on the bottom line under the basket.

Sam Perkins caught the ball and raised his hand, made a layup, and sent the ball into the basket.

In contrast, this wave of supersonic offense has a great effect on the overall situation.

Peyton broke through Xiao Chong with a single point. Wouldn't this hole be torn open?

With a 2-2 tie, the offense and defense switched, and it was the Warriors' turn to attack again.

Xiaochong tried again, this time after a crossover, he hit the iron with a bang.

Fortunately, Lin Xing, who is already a top offensive rebounder, jumped up high and grabbed the rebound, taking advantage of the trend to make a flat-frame windmill dunk!
Clang!
There was a roar of surprise in the key arena, and then the Warriors' bench was boiling.

"Stanley is Stanley, another wonderful tip-in, and another goal that can reach the top five goals of the day after the game!"

At this time, the fans in the key arena, after a burst of exclamation, stared at Lin Xing who was beating his chest in celebration, and immediately booed.

As Lin Xing became famous in the NBA, this group of Seattle fans basically already knew:

Lin Xing and Payton have been friends for many years. They have appeared in the Key Arena several times before and watched Payton's games.

There were even a few fans with outstanding memory who remembered——

"I remember him, he's the guy who sat in the front seat and taunted Gary last season during the regular season."

The boos gradually subsided, mainly because these Seattle fans could not feel any hostility towards Lin Xing who dunked on the field.

The relationship between Lin Xing and Payton is so good that these Seattle fans have a feeling that Lin Xing is their own.

The game is still going on, the Sonics' offense, or Payton broke through the bug with a single point, he rushed to the basket with the bug, and scored 2 points.

On the Warriors' side, Xiao Chong hit another one and made a layup from the basket, but still the same sentence, his scoring failed to disrupt the Supersonics' defense.

They have already realized that if they continue to play like this, the balance of victory in the game will gradually lean towards the Supersonic.

At this time, Lin Xing decided to stand up and make a try...

　There is a dinner tonight, this is the first update, 4.1k, Yiwen guarantees that there will be a second update, but the number of words will be a little less, how much more can be, it can only be seen when I get home.
