NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 168 Fisher was dismissed by us!

Before Anthony got the ball, he was tightly entangled by Lin Tian. He frowned tightly and wanted to break free from Lin Tian's defense to ask for the ball, but he failed.

Calderon saw that Anthony had no chance to catch the ball, so he simply chose to rush in by himself.

The ball was interfered by Howard in time and failed to make a shot. Howard also took off the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian rushed forward with the ball, passed Anthony with a gorgeous crossover, and scored against Porzingis with a basket, scoring consecutive points!

The Lakers further widened the point difference, which also made Knicks fans feel uneasy.

Anthony has not participated in two offenses, this time before halftime, he received a pass from Calderon.

Lin Tian greeted him with open arms and a smile on his face.

Anthony could feel an invisible sense of urgency from Lin Tian's calm smile.

He came to the wing with the ball, first gave the ball to Calderon, and Calderon passed it back to him, this is to avoid a second luck.

Anthony then made his famous "triple threat" pose.

Anyone who has known Anthony knows that whether he passes, breaks or shoots next, he can be unpredictable.

Lin Tian was very confident in his defense. He didn't stick it up and gave Anthony a certain shooting space, but he wouldn't let the opponent break through.

Before making this move, Anthony actually thought that he would choose a breakthrough in this attack, but Lin Tian was anti-burst, so he could only raise his hand and shoot.

Lin Tian's body was so tight that he jumped up the moment Anthony shot.

This time he didn't complete the block, but when the basketball flew over his head, it was almost only one centimeter away from his fingertips!
Once the ball was thrown, Anthony shook his head, knowing he couldn't make it.

Bang!

Sure enough, the basketball hit the hoop, and when it fell, it was easily snatched by Howard, who was locked in advance.

Howard's arrival guaranteed the Lakers' rebounding.

He didn't even pat the ball, and immediately passed the ball to Lin Tian's hand again.

Lin Tian ran all the way from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Anthony couldn't stop him, and finally watched him score two points.

Fisher on the sidelines scratched his bald head, showing a rather ugly expression, and then called a timeout.

This is so far behind at the beginning, the coach is not so easy to be!

The momentum of the Lakers was high. When Lin Tian returned to the bench, he high-fived with other team members, assistant coaches and others one by one.

Sitting back on the bench, Kobe wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Lin Tian contentedly: "Yes! That's how you should play! You are a born performer!"

Scott brought this tactical board in front of several people: "The effect was good just now, and the Knicks may adjust their style of play next, we need..."

After Scott said a few words, the referee's whistle blew again.

Lin Tian's single defense against Anthony was good, so naturally he will continue to defend Anthony.

As a long-established star, Anthony did not give up in front of Lin Tian, ​​a junior, and still took the ball before halftime.

This time he chose to force Lin Tian, ​​but when he rushed inside to make a turnaround jump shot, Lin Tian predicted it and cut the ball away!

As soon as he got the ball, Lin Tian scored another beautiful fast break.

While the Knicks were serving the ball, Kobe smiled at Anthony and said, "Carmelo! Try to pass the ball, it's young people's world now."

Although the two are good friends off the court, they are not friends on the court.

Kobe's words undoubtedly angered Anthony, who glared and chose to single Lin Tian again.

This time, he used his nimble footwork and soft touch to make one, which also made the home fans a little relieved.

But what the Knicks will face next is Lin Tian's 360-degree attack without dead ends!
He and Anthony were completely on the fence!

The next few rounds almost became Lin Tian's wonderful personal offensive show!

Step-back three-pointers, elegant jump shots after breakthroughs, deadly mid-range shots...

Anthony's defensive problems that have been criticized have also been infinitely magnified in the first quarter of this game.

He is a player who is stronger in offense than defense, and he is the leader of the Knicks team. He is definitely not as concerned about offense as defense.

But today's Anthony, in fact, is already trying very hard to defend Lin Tian, ​​but he just can't defend him.

With more than two minutes left in the first quarter, Lin Tian scored 20 points in a single quarter!10 of 8 shots!The hit rate reached 80%!

Although Anthony also scored 10 points, he took 9 shots!The offensive efficiency of the two is obvious.

The score between the Lakers and the Knicks is 33:17, and the Knicks are 16 points behind!
When Scott replaced Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian could feel the killing eyes of the home fans.

But he didn't care about it, instead he smiled confidently at the fans.

For the Knicks, fans have already booed their home players.

It is really rare that there is a defection in the first quarter.

As the head coach of the Knicks, the old fish Fisher also has a big head.

He never thought that he would be able to win against the Lakers today, but he also couldn't figure out that he could fall behind so much before the first quarter was over.

And Anthony is extremely obsessed with singles, and Fisher dare not have any opinions.

Last season, Fisher had euphemistically mentioned to Anthony to let Anthony pass the ball appropriately, but Anthony didn't listen at all.

Anthony has never been good at handling coaching relationships.

After the timeout, the core players of both sides took a temporary rest.

The Lakers are mainly led by Nick Young to preside over the offense.

As a player born for big occasions, Nick Young likes to show himself more when he goes to big occasions.

Facing the Knicks' substitutes, Nick Young had an extremely strong desire to attack and scored several goals in a row.

The Big Three of the Lakers were sitting off the court to rest at this time. After witnessing Nick Young's wonderful three-pointer, Howard stood up from the bench with a whoosh and raised his hands in celebration.

Howard can not only kill the Quartet in the interior and return to the bench, he is also the most active player in the Lakers' "atmosphere group".

Nick Young's solo performance continued. When the first quarter was over, the point difference between the two sides came to an exaggerated 20 points!
It is extremely rare in the NBA to be able to widen the point difference by so much in one quarter!This can only explain one problem, the two sides are not at the same level of team at all.

The situation caused by too much lead is that after the start of the second quarter, the Big Three of the Lakers just let Howard play early.

The Knicks are temporarily letting Porzingis serve as center.

Porzingis, who is talented in offense, has a thin body and looks like a tall bamboo pole. In addition, he is a rookie who has just entered the league, so he has no way to fight against Howard in the paint.

This made Howard, who was grabbing rebounds for most of the first quarter, happy, kept asking Clarkson for the ball, and then beat Porzingis repeatedly.

As one of the strongest rookies this year, Porzingis can barely use offense to threaten Howard.

His nimble feet and extremely soft touch are what Howard doesn't have.

Therefore, after the start of the second quarter, the insiders on both sides felt that no one could guard the other.

But people with a discerning eye can see that Howard still has the advantage, because if Porzingis doesn't feel good, he will be in trouble.

Lin Tian and Kobe took a rest for several minutes before returning to the court.

During the period when they were not present, not only did the score not shrink, but it was further widened.

With Lin Tian's return, the Knicks' defensive formation was completely blown up again.

The old fish Fisher is just a young head coach after all, without a complete defensive system, how can he defend against Lin Tian.

Lin Tian's desire to attack has decreased a lot because he has too many leads, so he still focuses his energy on defending Anthony.

Kobe also started to exert his strength at this time!He has practiced three-pointers frequently recently, and he scored two three-pointers shortly after his debut in the second quarter.

After halftime, the Lakers have led the Knicks by a full 28 points!There is only one step away from the 30-point difference.

Judging from the existing examples, this is basically tantamount to a death sentence for the Knicks.

After falling behind by 28 points this season, the Knicks have never come back.

The Knicks home fans sighed, and the Kobe fans' eyes lit up.

After returning from the second half, the two sides played more peacefully compared to the first half, at least for the Lakers.

Lin Tian has fewer attacks with the ball, and more choices to give the ball to Kobe and Howard.

The Knicks are used to falling behind this season, and have not shown the determination to fight to the end.

Only Anthony has a strong desire to single-handedly fight Lin Tian with the ball all the time, but the efficiency is not high.

After Anthony missed a mid-range shot against Lin Tian, ​​the live broadcast footage was also shown to Knicks owner James Dolan sitting in the audience.

I saw James Dolan staring blankly at the players on the field. He didn't seem to know that he was captured by the camera.

In the studio, the game was basically over, and Barkley and Smith were not as excited as usual.

Barkley said bluntly: "Unbelievable! Cameron was restricted by a rookie! This is too rare!"

Smith is not surprised: "Lin's personal ability is so strong, it's normal to be able to limit Cameron. I can even tell you that Lin is an enhanced version of Carmelo Anthony!"

Barkley nodded: "According to what you said, it seems that this is really the case!"

When the two looked at the broadcast camera, the camera just happened to show Knicks owner James Dolan.

Barkley said bluntly: "Look! James Dolan's face is going green! The team's performance today is really hard to satisfy him!"

"You're right." Smith said, "It's better for them to have such a bad record, otherwise they will end up with an embarrassing record after finishing this season."

……

Lin Tian and Kobe returned to the bench after playing 8 minutes in the third quarter.

The first thing Kobe did when he got back to the bench was that Garivetti put ice packs on his legs.

Now even if he doesn't play games every day, his legs will always feel sore from time to time. If he applies ice, at least it can make him feel better.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Howard played for a while and returned to the off-court avatar atmosphere group.

He has scored 25 points today!The two big men inside the Knicks failed to limit him.

The Lakers' bench players took their chances, and when the Knicks chased the point deficit to around 25 points, they always beat the opponent back to the original shape.

It was already garbage time, but the fans who came to the home court were reluctant to leave.

In the end, the Lakers won today's game 128:100.

In the whole game, Lin Tian played for 30 minutes and scored 45 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. The efficiency is extremely high.

Kobe had 20 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

Howard also scored 25 points, 15 rebounds and two blocks!

The three teamed up to score 90 points, and Lin Tian and Kobe hadn't appeared in the final quarter yet!
As soon as the game ended, media reporters flocked to Kobe and surrounded him.

In a metropolis like New York, this rarely happens. The name Kobe has become a symbol.

As today's scoring leader, Lin Tian and his teammates had finished celebrating, and just after drinking their saliva, they were pulled over by a beautiful ESPN reporter for an interview.

After accepting the interview according to the words he had memorized by heart, Lin Tian stood in the player tunnel, waiting for Kobe with Howard.

Although Lin Tian scored the highest score in the game today, he knew that Kobe could only be the protagonist today.

Kobe took the trouble to be interviewed by reporters, and Knicks owner James Dolan talked for a while before he barely squeezed out of the crowd.

After returning to the locker room, Kobe's first words were: "This is crazy! I almost thought this was the scene of the finals!"

Before playing away games in other cities, although Kobe also received an extremely warm welcome, he was not as exaggerated when he came to New York.

Howard laughed and said: "Congratulations to our 23rd win of the season! Guys! Come on! Our goal is fifth in the Western Conference!"

Lin Tian opened his mouth wide and looked at Howard: "Dwight! Your goal is too big! We are far from the fifth place in the West!"

"You don't understand! How can a goal be called a goal if it's not big? Lin! I still have a bigger goal that I haven't mentioned!"

Lin Tian knew what the bigger goal he was talking about, and the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

After accepting the post-match interview, the players returned to the hotel at twelve o'clock in the evening.

Although Lin Tian didn't play the whole game today, he was exhausted from the back-to-back games, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow after taking a shower.

The next morning, as the players ate at the hotel, Nick Young, on his phone, exclaimed, "Guys! Breaking news!"

All the players cast their gazes on Nick Young, and Howard said impatiently, "Nick! Don't be fooled! What explosive news?"

"Fischer was dismissed by us!"

Kobe, Howard, Tucker and others opened their mouths wide.

Only Lin Tian, ​​who just raised his head, lowered his head and continued to eat breakfast, was not surprised by this.

Lin Tian remembers very clearly that in his previous life, Fisher was also fired by the team during this time period.

Although the Knicks are a bad team, the team's goal this season is not to win 30 wins, but to play in the playoffs anyway.

However, Fisher's coaching level is really average!Knicks fans hate Fisher even more.

Losing the game has to be blamed. This time the Lakers lost so many points, the Knicks management couldn't bear it, so they had to fire Fisher.
