NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 126 Shocking riding buckle!

After the players arrived at the hotel, they were not very excited. They were far less happy than they were in Miami last time.

After a long journey, the team has no training plan today.

In the evening, Howard originally wanted to take Lin Tian to play. According to Howard, he is very familiar with Detroit and knows which bar has a better atmosphere.

But no matter what he said, Lin Tian was still unmoved.

Their goal this season is not to drink. The last time they drank in Miami, it was just a whim.

Wouldn't it be nice to just stay in the hotel and watch the game and chat with Sistine?

……

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Lin Tian got up early as usual.

When he finished washing and walked out of the room, he didn't forget to knock on Howard's door.

When someone knocked on the door early in the morning, Howard was full of anger, but when he opened the door and saw Lin Tian, ​​he immediately smiled: "Lin! Why are you up so early?"

Although Howard doesn't usually shoot in training, he doesn't get up very early.

Lin Tiandao: "Dwight, you should take me to familiarize myself with Little Caesars Arena."

"Haha!" Howard stretched his waist, "No problem!"

More than half an hour later, Lin Tian, ​​Kobe and Howard walked into the Little Caesars Arena and started a day of training.

Recently, I don't know if it was influenced by Kobe and Lin Tian. The training time of other players also spontaneously arrived earlier.

Or, they may be afraid of being traded by the team, so they become more active.

The morning is basic physical training, and the afternoon is confrontation training.

Scott arranged a lineup that simulated the starting lineup of the Pistons for training, which was relatively targeted.

After the training was over, he convened another meeting with everyone, and the content of the meeting was mainly about the tactics for the night.

The team staff also sent them some data sheets of the Pistons this season.

These data can clearly see some characteristics of the Pistons, such as their free throw percentage this season, the top three in the league in rebounding...

Lin Tian has already seen these data and memorized them by heart.

Not long after dinner, they arrived at the visiting team's locker room.

Kobe said while changing his shoes: "Dwight, you have a heavy task tonight, come on."

Howard grinned, showing his big white teeth: "Don't worry! I won't let Andre easily score on me!"

The direct matchup between Howard and Drummond tonight will be very interesting.

Because of the two of them, one currently ranks first in the league in rebounds per game, and the other ranks fourth in the league in rebounds per game!
A few people were chatting, and Kobe suddenly noticed that Russell and his young players were not very interested, just looking down and swiping their phones.

The well-informed Kobe didn't know what they were thinking, and he raised his voice: "Hey! Rookies! Get up! Don't be like a pussy."

Russell and the others quickly put away their phones.

Howard said with a smile: "I can understand your feelings. To be honest, I know that Randall's departure has a great impact on you. I have experienced this situation many times! You can't do anything except play hard on the court. This is the truth, man."

Russell nodded solemnly. They couldn't help but feel relieved that their teammates who had been with each other day and night were traded.

Most importantly, who knows that they won't be the next one to be traded?

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, the Lakers players ran from the away locker room to the arena.

Without exception, they were still greeted with warm applause.

Not surprisingly, this is also the last time the Lakers will visit Detroit.

Although they will play Detroit once more in the regular season, that time, the home court will be the Staples Center.

Every time Kobe arrives at an away arena now, it's like installing a fixed program. He first signs autographs and takes photos with the fans before warming up.

Under normal circumstances, when he warms up, Lin Tian and the others have already warmed up for 20 minutes.

The Pistons' home dj also likes Kobe very much, and has been counting the achievements of Kobe's career for so many years.

After half an hour, the game will start.

The referee for today's game is bald Joe Crawford.

Even in the last season of his career, his attendance rate was very high.

But Lin Tian couldn't help laughing when he saw him.

When Lin Tian picked the game ball on behalf of the Lakers, Crawford said: "Young man, why are you holding back your laughter?"

Lin Tian didn't answer his question directly, but asked, "Joe, can I touch your head?"

"Please."

Lin Tian was a little surprised. He reached out and wanted to touch Crawford's head. At this time, another sentence came out of Crawford's mouth: "If you are not afraid of being blown T."

He braked forcefully, withdrew his hand, and showed an awkward yet polite smile.

Although the game hasn't started yet, it's better to be honest.

Howard, who was next to him, happened to hear the conversation between the two, and was already bending over with a smile.

He walked to Lin Tian's side and put his shoulders on Lin Tian: "Lin! Don't mess with this bald referee!"

Obviously, Howard also suffered a lot from Crawford's hands.

This scene was seen by tens of thousands of spectators, and they also discussed:

"What is Howard smirking there? I've never seen him so happy when he was in the Rockets."

"I don't care what he's laughing at, what I care about is that Drummond will blow him up tonight!"

An elderly old Pistons fan adjusted his presbyopic glasses and said to the young fans beside him: "Speaking of it! It was a good game 12 years ago! That year the Lakers and Pistons met in the Finals! Both sides showed their best strengths. We have Billups, Hamilton, and Wallace...In a blink of an eye, those guys have retired. Now the Pistons and the Lakers have a feeling of sympathy. It is difficult to even make it to the playoffs, alas!"

On the court, the starting players of the two teams have stood on both sides of the Pistons logo.

The home team Pistons starters are: Reggie Jackson, Caldwell-Pope, Marcus Morris, Ilyasova, Drummond.

The starters of the away team Lakers are: Russell, Kobe, Lin Tian, ​​Nance Jr., Howard.

Lin Tian knows a lot about the starting players of the Pistons.

Especially pop.

In the 2019-2020 season in the previous life, the Lakers were able to win the championship, and Pope also made a lot of contributions.

But he is still just a shooting guard for the Pistons, and his performance is completely worthy of starting.

The referee Crawford threw the ball into the air, Howard and Drummond jumped the ball, and Drummond took the lead to take the ball and let the ball fall into the hands of Reggie Jackson. The Pistons started the first round of offense.

Lin Tian's defensive object is Marcus Morris, who was the No. 2011 pick in 14 and has a bad temper.

This guy also has an older brother named Markieff Morris, and the two can be said to look exactly the same.

He and his older brother Markieff Morris both played for the Suns last season.

Only last summer, the Suns traded him to the Pistons.

Because of this incident, Marcus also accused the Suns of betraying their brother.

Lin Tian also knew that Morris had a bad temper, but he didn't expect him to say harsh words to Lin Tian as soon as he came up: "Rookie! I will let you not touch the ball today!"

Facing Morris' provocation, Lin Tian directly chose to ignore it.

In fact, a player like Morris is quite suitable to eat by his side, but his transaction value is obviously higher than that of Channing Frye.

Moreover, Morris's defensive ability is relatively average, his athletic ability is also average, and his temper is still big.

On the Pistons side, Reggie Jackson chose to break through for the first ball, but missed.

Howard, who has a better rebound position than Drummond, grabbed the rebound and passed the ball directly to Lin Tian.

When Lin Tian and the others rushed to the frontcourt of the Lakers, they had no chance to play a fast break.

He wasn't in a hurry, he just looked at Marcus Morris.

Morris tried to reach out his hand to interfere twice, then quickly backed away to prevent Lin Tian from breaking through.

Lin Tian didn't intend to break through. When Morris stepped back, he raised his hand and scored a three-pointer.

Morris' slow moving speed and unremarkable bounce couldn't interfere with Lin Tian at all.

Swish!Three points hit!

Lin Tian smiled confidently at Morris: "Is this what you said I couldn't touch the ball?"

Morris gritted his teeth: "Rookie! Don't be complacent! Let's wait and see!"

Reggie Jackson controlled the ball halfway, facing Russell's defense, he suddenly accelerated and went inside to kill.

Russell couldn't keep up with Reggie Jackson's footsteps, and Howard on the inside could only choose to defend.

Seeing Howard came, Reggie Jackson did not choose to attack rashly, but passed the ball to Drummond behind Howard.

Howard's reaction was fast enough. The moment Reggie Jackson passed the ball, he had already turned his head to defend Drummond.

But time is still too late!
When Howard took off, Drummond had already taken off early with the ball in both hands, and hit Howard's body, smashing the ball into the basket hard!
The tall Howard was knocked to the ground!Drummond is still hanging on the rim.

beep!
The referee Crawford blows his whistle!Indicated that Howard violated Drummond's cylinder, defensive foul.

This also means that Drummond counts two points and forgets!There will be an additional penalty!
After Drummond landed, he lowered his head and glared at Howard, and roared by the way.

Lin Tian and Nance Jr., who were closest to Howard, quickly ran to Howard's side, pushed Drummond away, and pulled Howard up.

They pushed Drummond away relatively lightly, and the referee didn't take it seriously.

Drummond sneered and said, "Dwight! Are you just doing this?"

At the same time, he also raised his hand to the audience, signaling the audience to raise their cheers.

The Pistons fans did exactly that, and the atmosphere on the scene reached its peak.

Then, Drummond stepped to the free throw line against the cheers.

Drummond is shooting 35% from the line this season!Even in the long history of the nba for more than 60 years, there are not many players with such poor free throws.

His free throw percentage is not even comparable to the average three-point shooting percentage of many teams!To describe it as a disaster is a kindness to him.

The Pistons have the lowest free throw percentage this season, and a large part of the reason is because of Drummond, because he averages 7 free throws per game.

If the previous shark-cutting tactics were used on Drummond, the effect would be better.

But Drummond's threat in the interior is not a bit worse than that of the peak sharks.

Sure enough, Drummond's penalty was missed without any surprise.

Howard protected the rebound and passed the ball to Lin Tian.

Players from both sides quickly ran to the Lakers half.

The last time Lin Tian easily passed by, this time Morris deliberately shortened the distance to defend Lin Tiandi, just to avoid Lin Tian's sudden cold arrow.

Lin Tian doesn't know what Morris thinks.

He dribbled the ball with one hand and directed his teammates to move with the other.

Russell and Kobe quickly crossed positions, disrupting the Pistons' offensive rhythm.

Nance Jr. and Howard on the inside also moved the Pistons around the line.

See the time has come!Lin Tian didn't even make a change of direction, and passed Morris with one step with the ball!

It is too easy for Lin Tian to pass a player like Morris who is not strong in athletic ability and explosiveness!

Feeling a gust of wind blowing by, Morris found that Lin Tian had thrown himself away.

Seeing this, Drummond cursed from the bottom of his heart. Seeing Lin Tian's momentum, he gritted his teeth and took two steps forward, but he didn't intend to jump.
This is a defensive action that is completely aimed at making Lintian foul!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had reached the restricted area, and only Drummond stood in front of him!

There is no pause!When he was still one step away from Drummond, Lin Tian bent his legs and jumped up suddenly!
Until this time, Drummond was still standing like a bell, which surprised Lin Tian. He thought that Drummond would try to block the shot. Who knew that the opponent's defensive action was like this!
It's just that it's impossible to avoid it at this time!Lin Tian's goal is to put the ball into the basket!

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Lin Tian seemed to be stepping on a spring, soaring into the sky!
Lin Tian's head shows a flat basket, and then turns into a super basket...

And his knees, at first over Drummond's thighs, then his waist...

boom!
When the basketball was smashed into the basket by Lin Tian with his right hand, his body did not drop due to gravity!
Because at this moment, Lin Tian happened to sit on the shoulders of the 2.08-meter Drummond!
This is a shocking buckle!

At this moment, there were nearly [-] spectators in the audience!Everyone stared at this scene with wide eyes!
Their eyes were full of shock, horror and bewilderment...

The entire Little Caesars arena is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop!
Even the Lakers bench, no one stood up and cheered, because they didn't react at all, they just stared blankly at this scene!
Drummond never dreamed that such a tall center would be buckled in his lifetime!

So much so that after Lin Tian completed the buckle, Drummond was stunned for two seconds!
