Chapter 135: End of the Season

Even as Lin Fei walked away with his head held high, one could still catch a glimpse of his lonely and somewhat tragic silhouette. Lin Fei had gone on a rampage throughout the game, slashing a staggering 41 points, including an earth-shattering 27 points in the final quarter alone. Yet, in a cruel twist of fate, his teammates seemed to have completely vanished when it mattered most. Although Jobs, X, and Curry had all managed to score in the teens, their disappearance in the clutch moments was undoubtedly the root of this tragedy. Even up to this point in the season, players like Jobs, X, and Clauderson had never missed a game and were undeniably exhausted, but such complete absence during a crucial elimination battle was still inexcusable.

"He truly gave it his all! He is, without a doubt, the MVP of the first two rounds of the playoffs. Scoring 64 points in a single game and averaging over thirty points per contest—we haven't seen anyone like this in the league for a very long time, and what's more, he is still so young." Upon learning of the Warriors' elimination, Kobe Bryant immediately spoke these words about Lin Fei. Undoubtedly, as an older brother figure to this young protégé, Kobe still had a wealth of knowledge to pass down to him.

Yet, when one thinks about it, the achievements Lin Fei attained this season had few equals in the history of the league. During the regular season, he exploded for a 60-point performance, shattered the records for three-pointers in a single quarter and in a full game, broke the record for points in a single quarter, claimed the scoring title, delivered a celestial 64-point masterpiece in the playoffs, and currently stood as the leading scorer of the postseason. Combined with the Warriors' stellar record, Lin Fei's season was practically flawless. By this point in the season, hardly anyone debated whether the Warriors' success was due to Lin Fei or Coach Nelson.

This season, the Warriors had forged the fastest team in league history, as well as the most potent offensive team in league history—and, of course, one of the worst defensive teams in league history. Yet, it was precisely this kind of team that carved out such an extraordinary record. The very existence of the Warriors shattered the age-old axiom that "defense wins championships."

The history of the league would remember the Warriors of this season, and it would remember Lin Fei.

A happy vacation had arrived.

And could anyone fail to mention that girl from the final game of the season?

Without her, perhaps Lin Fei would not have been able to produce such a breathtaking performance in the dying moments, and the Warriors might have suffered an even more humiliating defeat. Of course, that was merely speculation.

According to paparazzi reports, after the match, Lin Fei drove his Lamborghini to take Avril to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. It was safe to assume that both of them would become the prime targets of tabloid gossip throughout the offseason.

A classic romance between an older woman and a younger man!

As the saying goes, losing on the court brings success in romance. Lin Fei might have lost the playoff series, but he seemed to have won the heart of a beauty—one who appeared to have delivered herself right to his doorstep.

It was enough to make all of Lin Fei's friends and teammates drool with envy.
