NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 153 Shaking Dream Chaser Green!

This time, Green's eyes and brain responded, but his body couldn't.

Green wanted to forcibly keep up with Lin Tian's rhythm, but because his body lost his center of gravity and could no longer maintain his balance, he sat upright on the wooden floor!
Whoa!

After a brief exclamation, there were extremely deafening applause and cheers in the arena.

Kobe, who was wearing a suit and always had a stern face, also stood up from the bench at this time, applauding Lin Tian's wonderful solo performance.

The DJ of the Lakers even exclaimed: "Oh! My God! This season's best defensive player nominee was knocked down by Lin Huang!"

Even if he knocked Green down, Lin Tian rushed into the inside and made a layup against Bogutla!
Green jumped up from the ground suddenly, facing the ridicule of Howard and Nick Young.

Being knocked down is more humiliating than being dunked, not to mention that Chasing Dream Green is one of the strongest defensive players in the league.

When Lin Tian passed by Green, he didn't forget to ask: "A player who entered the best defensive team, is this the only ability?"

Green gritted his teeth. As the king of trash talk, he couldn't find any rebuttal for a while.

The atmosphere at the scene was completely aroused by Green's shaking.

"Hahahaha! I've watched football for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen Chasing Dream being so humiliated! Lin is too strong!"

"Seeing Chaimeng being shaken, I actually felt refreshed all over. This guy loves talking too much! Let Lin teach him a lesson today!"

"Lin's breakthrough speed is the fastest in the league! It's normal that Green can't keep up with his footsteps, but he was knocked down, it's outrageous!"

"Be sure to bite the score! You must not let the Splash Brothers shoot completely! Tonight must end the Warriors' winning streak!"

……

The Warriors own the ball and the basketball is in Green's hands.

He was intercepted by Lin Tian again just now, and was knocked down by Lin Tianhuang again. After Green suffered a big loss, he no longer dared to underestimate the boy from the Celestial Dynasty in front of him.

As a point forward, when he saw Lin Tian walking towards him with open arms, he didn't even dare to dribble the ball, for fear of being snatched away by the opponent.

Lin Tian also knows that it is not easy to complete a steal from the opponent, and he may lose his position if he does not do it.

Therefore, he mainly focuses on defending the opponent's offense.

The Splash Brothers are running tirelessly.

The running distance of the two of them per game is among the best among hundreds of players in the league.

Although Russell and Nick Young are trying their best to follow up the defense, their speed and defensive awareness are still a lot worse.

Curry ran out of a short open opportunity, and Green passed the ball in an instant.

After receiving the ball, Curry raised his hand and shot.

When the basketball was still flying in the air, Klay Thompson had already raised his right hand, made a gesture of a three-pointer, and ran towards the Lakers' frontcourt.

Swish!
really!This three-pointer scored!

Lin Tian sighed, is Thompson so confident in Curry's three-pointer?
The Lakers were just getting started, and they were wiped out by Curry's three-pointer.

Lin Tian received Howard's pass and walked across the half court, and Green came with a fierce expression.

He's stopped talking trash, but his defense is noticeably more focused than before.

Lin Tian was preparing to continue singles against Green, but Howard reached out for the ball inside.

Without hesitation, he quickly passed the ball to Howard.

Howard hit Bogut with his back!Also caused Bogut's defensive foul.

After this attack was successful, Howard gave Bogut a hard look and showed off the bicep of his right arm by the way.

Bogut is not to be outdone in the aspect of lip service, and keeps muttering words.

Howard and Bogut, both are centers, and both are No. 04 picks. Howard was the No. 05 pick in [-] and Bogut was the No. [-] pick in [-].

So far, the career achievements of the two have been very different.

Howard has numerous personal honors, but Bogut is best known for his dirty moves.

In fact, they have had conflicts on the court before.

Because Bogut loves to use dirty moves, Howard elbowed Bogut last year when he was still in the Rockets.

In this competition, the two of them are going to avenge their old and new hatred together.

When Howard made a free throw, the shot was obviously a little stronger. The basketball fell on the hoop and bounced back, and was snatched by Green.

After the two teams fought for a few more rounds, Lin Tian and Howard returned to the bench to rest under Scott's arrangement.

At this time, the Lakers are only three points behind the Warriors.

The substitute lineup played, and I don't know if they can bite the score. Anyway, Lin Tian doesn't think that the substitute can lead the score.

Bogut and Thompson of the Warriors also rested, and they played Andre Iguodala and Sean Livingston!

Although these two are substitutes, what is certain is that they are strong enough to serve as starters for any team!

Iguodala, the ninth pick in 2004, has been selected to the All-Star team and was also selected to the best team twice.

But compared to these honors, he also has an award that can be called the highest personal honor in the nba, and that is last season's FMVP!

The nba will only produce one finals MVP every year, which may be the most valuable honor!
Almost everyone who has won FMVP in the past is a superstar!
Iguodala may be the smallest FMVP in the NBA for so many years!

The reason why he was able to grab the FMVP abruptly from Curry last season was largely because his extremely versatile defense limited James' performance.

You know, in the playoffs last year, he didn't even average more than 10 points per game!
So when Xiao Hua announced the FMVP winner, a large part of the fans were surprised.

It is such a player who worked hard in the Warriors and became a substitute.

However, Iguodala appears to be a substitute on the surface, but actually plays more time than Bogut and Barnes. He is an extremely critical part of the death five.

In the closing stage or when the game enters an extremely critical time, it is absolutely impossible for Cole to put Iguodala on the bench.

Compared with Iguodala, Sean Livingston may have a slightly smaller background, but he is definitely not an unknown person.

He entered the league in the same year as Iguodala and Howard, and he was the fourth pick that year.

If it weren't for the broken leg incident, Livingston's achievements in his career would definitely be worthy of his status as the No. [-] pick.

Today's Livingston has found his place in the Warriors and is a substitute with peace of mind. Although his defense is not very strong, his mid-range shots are accurate!Among all guards, his shooting percentage is the top level!More than 50%!

The Warriors were able to win the championship last year, and Livingston was also a major contributor.

In the Warriors' bench lineup, in addition to these two titans, there are also outstanding players such as Speights and Leandro Barbosa.

Except for Livingston, these substitute players have a very high three-point shooting percentage.

It's hard not to be envious when Lin Tian looks at the Warriors' bench.

In fact, this kind of thing is not enviable.

The contract that Curry of the Warriors signed before was a child labor contract. The extremely cost-effective contract made the Warriors' salary structure extremely healthy this year.

No player on the team has earned more than $2000 million this season.

The highest salary is Thompson, his salary this season is 1500 million, 1000 million less than Kobe!
In addition to a good salary structure, the Warriors are already the biggest favorites for the championship.

Out of the desire for the championship, some players are also willing to cut their salaries to join the Warriors, such as Speights.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers were already behind by 8 points.

Lin Tian's end dealt a devastating blow to the Lakers' defensive system, and their defense inevitably declined greatly.

During the intermission, Scott still emphasized the word defense.

In order to avoid further widening the gap in the second quarter, Scott plans to send Lin Tian to the stage ahead of schedule.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Splash Brothers were still not on the court.

The current lineup of the Warriors is: Barbosa, Livingston, Iguodala, Speights and Dreaming Green.

Cole learned from Popovich, and the characteristics of employing people are also very similar to Popovich.

For substitute players, he usually gives a lot of opportunities to appear on the field, so that in Warriors games, more than 10 players often appear on the field. In contrast, the Lakers' substitutes are stretched.

Lin Tian took Russell, Clarkson and others, and started chasing points crazily!

It was Iguodala who defended Lin Tian at this stage.

In the past, he only watched Iguodala's games on TV. When he really faced Iguodala, he really felt the player's strong defensive ability!
It is indeed the player who claims to be the best defense against James!Iguodala's lateral movement is extremely fast, and the defensive area is also very large.

The most important thing is that his defense is very clean, and Lin Tian doesn't have to be restrained anymore.

Facing Iguodala, Lin Tian used the peak Anthony's singles ability more.

He showed Iguodala his 360-degree shooting without dead ends!
Before the Splash Brothers returned to the field, Lin Tian abruptly led a few substitutes to chase the point difference back.

Curry and Thompson returned to the court, but Iguodala did not go down to rest.

He wiped the sweat from his head with his jersey: "Damn it! Is the current rookie talent so good? I don't believe you can beat me a few times!"

In the next offensive round of the Lakers, Iguodala increased his defensive intensity.

But facing Lin Tian, ​​he was still a little helpless.

With 3 minutes left in the second quarter, Iguodala was already out of breath. Under Cole's signal, he returned to the bench to rest.

Cole walked up to him and asked, "Andre, what's going on? When you played against the Cavaliers in the Finals last year, you weren't so tired defending against James."

Iguodala took the towel handed over by the caddy, and said helplessly: "Coach, if I tell you that this guy is harder to guard than James, would you believe it?"

Cole pouted: "To be honest, I didn't believe it before today's game, but now, I believe it."

The head coach of the NBA may only watch the game from a slightly worse perspective than the referee.

Just now, every time Lin Tian breaks through, shoots and defends, Cole on the sidelines sees it.

He knows that Iguodala is already doing his best to defend, but he just can't guard against the talented rookie with offensive talent!
Iguodala continued: "If you want to say that he is like LeBron, he is indeed like LeBron in some places, but he is very different in some places!"

"His dribbling skills and shooting are better than LeBron! When I defend LeBron, I can also judge the direction of LeBron's breakthrough, but defending this guy, even if I know where he is going to break through, sometimes it is difficult to keep up!"

Iguodala gave Lin Tian a very high evaluation, which Cole is not surprised.

Bogut, who was sitting next to Iguodala, curled his lips: "It's just a rookie! Don't care! They are still fighting for the playoffs this season."

Kerr corrected Bogut: "We can't underestimate any opponent! Otherwise, we will pay a heavy price!"

While they were chatting, Thompson on the court scored another three-pointer, and Kerr nodded in relief.

After the second quarter, the Lakers trailed by three points.

Lin Tian scored the highest halftime score of 25 points.

The Splash Brothers scored a total of 30 points, which can only be considered quite satisfactory for them, but their three-point shooting percentage is very high.

Curry made 6 of 3 three-pointers in the first half, and Thompson made 6 of 4 three-pointers.

Both of them made more than 50% of their three-pointers!A little higher than their average three-pointers this season.

The most important reason for this is that the Lakers' back line defense is too broken.

Whether it's Russell, Nick Young or Clarkson, the three of them were almost completely trained by the Splash Brothers in the first half.

Moreover, the off-ball defense of several people is very poor, and they are played around by Kerr's offensive system.

Lin Tian, ​​as the offensive and defensive core of the Lakers, did not directly match up with the two of them, because Barnes is not a vegetarian, and if Barnes is let go, they will definitely pay a heavy price for it.

Penguin Sports Live.

The popularity of the live broadcast room has reached 2300 million at this time!It even broke the ratings record for the last time the Lakers played the Cavaliers.

As today's host, Wang Mang said bluntly after watching halftime of the game: "Lin Tian is still strong! The Warriors can't stop him in a wheel battle!"

Yang Yi, who was next to him, also agreed with this: "Yes! At first it was Barnes' defense, then Green, and then to the experienced defensive Iguodala! Cole used the moves against James on Lin Tian, ​​but he just couldn't defend him! To put it bluntly, they have nothing to do with Lin Tian!"

"I thought Lin Tian would be very passive in the face of the Warriors' unlimited defense strategy today, but I didn't expect him to belittle him!"

"But having said that, the Warriors mainly adopt a single-defense strategy against Lin Tian, ​​and it can be seen that they are still fighting."

"Overall, the performance of the Lakers in the first half today is very satisfactory! The game was not spent, and the second half was even more exciting!"

"Yes! I hope the suspense of today's game can be maintained until the second half of the fourth quarter!

"Okay! Next, Director Yang is welcome to analyze some wonderful offensive rounds in the first half."
