Chapter 1380: The Hero's Decline

Staples Arena, since its opening on October 17, 1999, has been one of the most popular sports centers in the United States. It is the home of the NBA Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Reading Network)

When Lin Feng walked into Staples Arena, the entire arena was already full of people. Although there are still 30 minutes left before the start of the game, the atmosphere in the arena is already in full swing, and huge cheers fill the entire arena. It is no exaggeration to say that even the engine decibels of a Boeing 747 are far inferior to those of Stalin at this moment. Noise inside Puth Arena.

But the moment Lin Feng and nine charming beauties came in, the entire stadium instantly became quiet. From extreme noise to absolute silence, it happened in just a few seconds, which made everyone feel a little uncomfortable and felt their ears ringing. But no one is paying attention to this at the moment. They are all paying attention to one person - Lin Feng.

For a long time, because Hollywood is in Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles Lakers are the most popular team in the City of Angels, Staples is filled with Hollywood stars all year round. Especially when the game enters the playoffs, many stars will come to support every game, including many handsome men and beautiful women. It can be said that the audience has become somewhat accustomed to it. However, today, when Lin Feng and his entourage appeared at Staples Arena, all the Los Angeles Lakers fans who are accustomed to big scenes still couldn't help but hold their breath and let out a sigh in their hearts!

My mother, he is so blessed! ——The audience counts carefully, 1, 2, 3

9, a total of 9 women, and all of them are charming beauties. Li Zhiyou, Lin Zhihui, Huang Meixi, and Lin Chiling do not know each other, but Avril, Jessica, Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé are very familiar with them.

I usually see Avril, Jessica and others on TV, but now they appear here together, sitting together, it is really a beautiful scenery. The American TNT TV station responsible for the live broadcast also immediately pointed its camera at Lin Feng and others, scanning them one by one. The scene was filled with whistles.

I'm jealous! ** Naked envy! At this moment, Lin Feng became the target of murder by the eyeballs of all the men in Staples Arena.

"Tsk, tsk, this Lin Feng is really gorgeous. Did Charles see it? This is called charm. You always claim to be the most handsome man in the world, but in terms of charm, you are not even one percent as good as Lin Feng." " Smith, Barkley's commentary partner (former Rockets guard, won two championships in 1994 and 1995, now retired as a basketball commentator), looked at the first row of seats behind the Houston Rockets bench. 9 beauties, said jokingly to Barkley beside him.

Buckley once said - Be confident. For example, I think I am the most handsome man in the world, and this is indeed the case.

"I am still the most handsome man in the world, but Lin Feng has a little more money than me.

He's just a little bit more handsome than me. "Barkley said stubbornly.

"Then you are saying that Avril Lavigne and the others are greedy for vanity and love Lin Feng's money, so they came to watch the game!" Smith had a wicked smile on his face and deliberately moved the topic to a sensitive point. You must know that Barkley is famous for his big mouth. If he opens his big mouth on this matter, it will be hilarious.

However, uncharacteristically, Barkley did not continue the topic of Smith. Instead, he began to comment on the players who played today.

Smith frowned. This Barkley is not normal today! Although the topic just now was very sensitive, Buckley was never afraid of getting into trouble and always spoke up. As for the series of disputes caused by him, in Buckley's view-I don't create disputes. The facts were there before I even spoke about them. I just brought it to your attention.

But today, Barkley's thoughtfulness is obviously unusual. Thinking of this, Smith rolled his eyes.

"Charles, I heard that if the Houston Rockets win today, you will come back and join the Rockets next season. Haha, if that happens, I will be very happy to be the Houston Rockets game commentator. Also, you didn't dare to talk about Lin Feng just now , is it because he is afraid of being beaten by Lin Feng after joining the Rockets next season?" Smith laughed.

Buckley stared. Although he knew that Smith was deliberately lying to him, he was still quite unhappy after hearing what Smith said.

"What! I am afraid that Lin Feng will give me little shoes to wear. Let me tell you, even if the Rockets lose this game, I join the Houston Rockets and Lin Feng becomes my boss, I will not be afraid of him. I will say what I have to say. Still Yes, look at my muscles, Lin Feng is so small, I’m afraid of him! My biceps are pinched to death by him,” Buckley said with eyes wide open.

The whole audience was immediately delighted.

"Also, Smith tells you, the Los Angeles Lakers must win this game! Unless that guy is ten years younger tonight." Barkley said with a groan.

The fans in the audience burst into cheers.

"Humph, you damn fat man, be careful when you talk big and flash your tongue!" Avril muttered angrily as she listened.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. This Buckley is really loud-mouthed, but he is quite cute. Even though you are an adult, you still speak freely.

Then the game begins. As Barkley expected, the rhythm of the game was controlled by the Los Angeles Lakers from the beginning. Facing the Los Angeles Lakers' "f4" combination (O'Neal, Kobe, Malone, Payton), the Houston Rockets, led by Jordan, resisted tenaciously, but the score slowly opened up.

Inside, Yao Ming and Rodman were completely beaten by the Shaq and Malone, especially O'Neal, who was in his prime. He was like a bloodthirsty great white shark, biting the Houston Rockets' seemingly strong but actually fragile (compared to the Los Angeles Lakers) inside. Although Yao Ming was in his second season, his score had risen to 18 points and 10 rebounds per game this season, but he was still miserable and defeated by the bloodthirsty Shaq.

As for the two old guys, Rodman and Malone, they fought evenly.

As for the outside, the outside composed of Jordan, James and Billups fought evenly with the outside composed of Kobe and Payton, but everyone with a discerning eye knew that Jordan was old and Kobe was about to enter his peak. Due to physical limitations, as time passed, Kobe would explode in the second half, and Jordan might not be able to stop the crazy Kobe.

As the referee whistled, the first half ended. The Houston Rockets entered the halftime break with 8 points behind the Los Angeles Lakers 42:50.

"Lin, the game is not going well! Although the Houston Rockets are only 8 points behind, Rodman and Jordan are almost at their limit, while O'Neal and Kobe of the Los Angeles Lakers are full of energy. If this continues, I'm afraid we will lose!" Jessica frowned and said.

Among the 9 women, Jessica can undoubtedly be regarded as a senior fan. She can clearly see the current situation on the court.

Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, Jordan, Rodman, and veterans like Olajuwon are almost exhausted. I'm afraid they can only support a few minutes at full strength. Whether it is James, Wade, or Yao Ming, they are all immature in the face of the Los Angeles Lakers, which are now in their prime. Especially James and Wade, the two rookies this year, have the same problem and still rely on their physical fitness to play. Although the regular season data of both of them are very impressive.

James averaged 20.9 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game, while Wade averaged 16.2 points, 4.5 assists, and 4 rebounds. Both of them are very immature in handling key balls. Especially in a stalemate, the two lacked a stable enough jump shot and could only rely on their bodies (James relied on strength, and Wade relied on speed). Therefore, they were either called for fouls or had no chance to shoot because of the opponent's body. It can be said that this year, the Houston Rockets still rely on veterans such as Jordan, Rodman, and Billups to conquer the world.

And in the current situation, the situation is quite bad!

"Haha, Smith, you see, I said that the Houston Rockets are not the opponent of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Houston Rockets will become a very scary super team in two seasons, but this season, the strongest team is still the Los Angeles Lakers. Especially this is still in Staples in Los Angeles!" Barkley's voice came.

"That's right. Young players still need to be trained, and the Houston Rockets have too many talented young players. They need 2-3 seasons to be trained." Smith also agreed.

"Haha, I think we can create a god to watch Lin Feng dancing in a bikini in the finals!" Barkley did not hide his exaggerated laughter.

The fans at the scene also cheered! Lin Feng is the owner of the Houston Rockets, but he made such a weird bet with Barkley before the game, claiming that the Houston Rockets would win. This is undoubtedly looking down on the Los Angeles Lakers. Therefore, for all Los Angeles Lakers fans, it is definitely a pleasure to witness Lin Feng dancing in the finals.

"You sit down for a while, I'll go to the locker room." Lin Feng got up and entered the locker room.

When Lin Feng entered the locker room, the whole atmosphere was extremely heavy. Obviously all the players also knew that the situation was not good now.

"Come on, guys! If you win this game, you can enter the finals, and you can also break the assertion that the Los Angeles Lakers will sweep the league at the beginning of the season!" Head coach Rudy Tomjanovich encouraged.

"Yes" Although the players wanted to cheer themselves up, they were discouraged when they thought of the terrifying strength of the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers are too strong! Especially O'Neal, who was simply unstoppable today. In addition, Kobe's touch was also hot today, so no matter how the Houston Rockets defended today, the opponent could always score easily. On the other hand, they had to go through a lot of trouble, constantly running and cutting, in order to score hard. Therefore, although the score between the two sides has not yet been completely opened, the situation is not optimistic.

Rudy Tomjanovich sighed. Since the beginning of this season, Jordan, Rodman, Olajuwon and others have become more aging. Although they can still maintain data that is enough to make most players envious, as the schedule progresses, the physical problems of these veterans become more and more obvious. And the young players have not yet fully grown up. In fact, according to Rudy Tomjanovich's plan, Jordan was originally going to play with these players for 2-3 seasons to bring them out. That way, when Jordan retires, the young players led by James, Wade, and Yao Ming will be able to grow up, and that will be the time for the Houston Rockets to challenge for the championship.

However, Lin Feng hopes to help Jordan and others win another championship before retirement, which makes Rudy Tomjanovich at a loss. Especially facing the Los Angeles Lakers who are at their peak, the difficulty is no less than the Chinese national football team becoming the Asian champion. Difficult!

What should I do now? ——Rudy Tomjanovich frowned.

"Hey, guys, why are you so sad!" Lin Feng clapped his hands and walked to the middle of the players.

"Boss!" Everyone called out weakly.

Lin Feng frowned more obviously. Looking around, many players, including Jordan, not only looked tired, but also had a faint look of resignation, which surprised Lin Feng. If other players resigned to their fate, Lin Feng could understand it, but why would Jordan, who has a strong obsession with victory, be like this?

Thinking about it, Lin Feng could understand Jordan. After all, Jordan is 42 years old this year and is no longer young. Although he still has a persistent heart for victory, he is not as persistent as he was in his 30s. Especially in the two seasons with the Washington Wizards, Jordan constantly tasted the bitter fruit of failure, and those years of failure almost numbed Jordan's desire to win.

Although Jordan is called "God" by the outside world, he is a human being after all.

It seems that if they want to win this game, they must open a breakthrough from Jordan and reawaken Jordan's unparalleled desire to win, the desire to win or die.

"Michael, how do you feel? Are you tired?" Lin Feng said softly.

Michael Jordan opened his mouth and gritted his teeth, trying not to admit it, but his legs were shaking at the moment. He had rested for half a day, but his chest was still rising and falling, and his body had clearly given a signal that he was very tired.

Helplessly, Jordan nodded.

The hero is old!

Lin Feng snorted.

"Since you are tired, don't play in the second half!" Lin Feng's face suddenly changed and he said coldly.

Everyone in the locker room was shocked!

Jordan didn't play? You know, since Jordan joined the Houston Rockets in the past two seasons, Jordan must play at every critical moment. And this season, Jordan has made 6 sure-kill shots. In this case, how can Jordan not play?

All the players looked at Lin Feng in amazement.
