NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 188
The fans also liked Curry's way of warming up.

After Curry made the shot, he walked over to the Lakers instead and hugged Kobe.

After seeing this scene, many fans couldn't help standing up and applauding.

Most fans who like Kobe also like Curry, because Curry can be said to be James' old enemy now.

Most of James' fans don't like Kobe.

In the past, the fans of Kobe and James were incompatible, and the scolding wars on the Internet can be described as round after round.

They are like the current Melo rivalry in football.

It wasn't until Kobe was about to retire this season that there was an atmosphere of heroes cherishing heroes in the major fan circles.

After the hug, Kobe touched Curry's head: "Boy, go create a miracle that belongs to you and break the Bulls' record."

Curry said: "We are on the way to create a miracle, but Kobe, we have to beat you today."

Kobe shook his head: "Don't make fun of yourself, we were defeated by you last time, it is impossible for us to lose this time."

Although there is a huge gap in strength on paper, Kobe has never been a person who is willing to admit defeat.

Being discouraged before opening the big is the atmosphere of the stadium. No matter what, the momentum must be sufficient.

Kuxian obviously understood Kobe's character very well, he laughed and turned around to hug other Lakers players.

Lin Tian also hugged Curry, and Lin Tian was also full of respect for this player with a baby face.

After saying hello, Lin Tian returned to the Lakers halftime to continue warming up.

At this time, he heard someone calling his name, and the shouting was in Chinese, and when he looked closely, it turned out that it was the old man Zhang Weiping.

Teacher Zhang used to be a member of the men's basketball team, but now he has signed a contract with Penguin and has become a senior basketball commentator under Penguin Sports.

He has explained many Kobe games. Although he has never said that he likes Kobe, judging from his commentary habits and catchphrases, he is a Kobe fan.

For the Warriors' home games, the old man is often the on-site reporter because he lives in California.

Lin Tian came to the old man with the basketball in his hand: "Mr. Zhang is good."

Zhang Weiping nodded in relief, and hugged Lin Tian again: "That's great! Our Celestial Dynasty has finally produced a talented player."

Lin Tian scratched his head, a little embarrassed, but the camera was aimed at his face.

The two chatted for a while, before Zhang Weiping talked about Kobe: "Let's talk about Kobe, what's it like being a teammate with Kobe? Did he put pressure on you?"

Lin Tian said honestly: "I never dreamed that I could become teammates with Kobe. Everyone knows that Kobe is a player who is very strict with himself and his teammates. I need to learn from the glory he has won in his career, but he has never put pressure on me, but has always used his performance to motivate me! I will try to follow in his footsteps."

Regarding Lin Tian's answer, Zhang Weiping nodded in satisfaction, and his affection for this rather modest young man doubled.

He interviewed Lin Tian several questions one after another, and Lin Tian answered them one by one.

At the end of the interview, Zhang Weiping patted Lin Tian on the shoulder again: "Okay, don't delay your training, hurry up and warm up."

Lin Tian nodded and returned to the court to continue his shooting training.

And his interview was also broadcast live by Penguin Sports.

Even before the game started today, the popularity of the live broadcast had already exceeded 2000 million, which had never happened before.

Wang Xing and Yang Yi are in charge of explaining today's game.

At this time, Zhang Weiping had just finished interviewing Lin Tian, ​​and Wang Xing sorted out his notes: "Okay! Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for Lin Tian's Lin Tian. We saw that everyone paid special attention to this game today. At the same time, we also hope that Lin Tian can lead the team to win, but they are facing the Warriors, the team with the highest winning percentage this season."

"Yes." Yang Yi also looked at the camera, "The Lakers and Warriors are the two teams with the best records this month. Among them, the Lakers are the biggest dark horse in the middle of this season, and the Warriors are making an impact towards a historical record. Let's see what kind of sparks the two teams will have today!"

"As far as I know, several players of the Lakers recently had an argument with Green of the Warriors. I don't know if their emotions will be brought to today's game."

"Haha! There is such a thing, all in all, let us wait and see!
……

Oracle Arena.

After the warm-up time of the two teams is over, the game will officially start.

The starting lineup sent by the home team Warriors is: Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Dreaming Green, Bogut.

The starters for the away Lakers are: Clarkson, Kobe, Lin Tian, ​​Tucker and Howard.

At the jump ball, the Warriors took the lead in gaining possession of the first ball.

Curry didn't make the shot himself, he gave the ball to Klay Thompson after a few dribbles.

After Klay Thompson received the ball, he made a direct strong shot against Kobe and made the first three-pointer of the game.

The arena suddenly became boiling, and Klay Thompson's three-pointers this season are also ridiculously accurate.

Seeing Thompson hit a shot, a fat fan on the sidelines drank a glass of beer and shouted excitedly: "Blow me up the Lakers! Drive them back to Los Angeles."

After the Lakers served, the first ball Lin Tian attracted Barnes' defense. He first pretended to break through, and then suddenly gave the ball to Kobe.

Kobe shot the ball as soon as he caught it, and also hit a three-pointer, which cooled the atmosphere of the Warriors a little.

Sitting in the stands on the second floor, Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly: "Ouch! This shot is reasonable! Kobe has practiced three-pointers this season! It's amazing!"

Goose Sports generally only arranges live commentary during the playoffs, while the regular season is broadcast in Tianchao.

But today's situation is different. Kobe Bryant's last visit to Oracle Arena in the regular season is of great significance, so he naturally needs to comment on the spot.

In fact, in addition to Penguin Sports, all major sports media in the world have arranged live commentary today.

The arena is just a stand for the media, and there are hundreds of commentary seats.

As soon as Zhang Weiping finished speaking, the Warriors launched a fast break, completely denying the Lakers' defensive players a chance to get in position.

Next, Lin Tian made a mid-range shot, but he missed it, and the Warriors took the opportunity to successfully counterattack again.

Their defensive enthusiasm exceeded Lin Tian's imagination, and they seemed to have the confidence to win at the beginning.

Lin Tian was naturally not to be outdone. After the Lakers missed a few shots, he began to exert his strength.

The current lineup of the Warriors, if you really want to say that there are shortcomings, it can only be their center Bogut and small forward Barnes.

Barnes was regarded as a breakthrough by Lin Tian, ​​and he began to single Barnes again and again. ,

Facing Lin Tian, ​​Barnes, whose defense was not bad, had nothing to do. Lin Tian successfully broke through twice in a row, and even made two mid-range shots.

Zhang Weiping, who was dubbed Zhang Lili, naturally seized this opportunity to brag about Lin Tian: "Look! Lin Tian is worthy of being a Mamba disciple! He has completely inherited Kobe's character! That is, he is not afraid of things, and he will stand up when it is time to stand up! Just hit Barnes! See! Barnes has nothing to do with him! I dare say that the Warriors will switch to defend Lin Tian in the next round! It should be for Clay to guard him! Clay's speed is fast!"

The fact is indeed as Zhang Weiping predicted. In the Lakers' next offense, Klay Thompson patted Barnes on the shoulder and wanted to switch defenses with him. Barnes naturally wished for this.

As of this season, although Klay Thompson has never won defensive honors, his defense is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

He's a player who can guard from the one to the three, wants to move surprisingly fast, and has a solid downside.

In the finals of last season, Klay Thompson sometimes even defended against James alone, and the effect was not bad.

After he successfully defended against one of Lin Tian's attacks, there were constant calls from the scene.

But Lin Tian responded quickly, making consecutive hits.

Thompson's defense against Lin Tian didn't seem to be very effective, and the Warriors soon changed again, with Green defending Lin Tian.

Green is the defensive core of Death Five. He is not tall, but his defense is extremely tough, and sometimes he will do dirty moves.

His weakness is that his athletic ability is slightly weaker, which is what Lin Tian fights, and he often breaks through, and the effect is good.

Seeing that Lin Tian played so well, Zhang Weiping in the stands nodded again and again: "The Warriors' players defending Lin Tian have changed one after another! But no matter who is assigned to defend Lin Tian, ​​it seems to be a misplacement for Lin Tian! His personal scoring ability is too strong! Even better than Kobe at his peak! I have never seen a player with such outstanding offensive talent! As long as he stays in shape! Kobe will retire next season, and he will be able to become the face of the league, which happens to be a seamless transition!"

The halftime ended quickly, and the two sides played 58:58, which also exceeded many people's expectations.

Penguin Sports live broadcast room, with the progress of the game, the popularity of the live broadcast room has become more and more popular, and it has exceeded 2500 million.

"Damn it! Lin Tian is so handsome! After beating Barnes and beating Thompson, beating Thompson and beating Green! I'm afraid I will have to fight Iguodala next!"

"It's so exciting! Why does it feel a bit like Sanying fighting Lu Bu?"

"Howard has to stand up to share the pressure for Lin Tian. Bogut will definitely not be able to guard against him!"

"Why do I feel that the Lakers are a bit overwhelmed today! Curry and Thompson don't seem to be working hard yet! They are patronizing defense!"

"Whether the Lakers can win today depends mainly on whether they can block the Warriors' three-point rain in the third quarter!"

……

The second half begins.

In the first 2 minutes, the two sides fought back and forth.

But when the Warriors replaced their finishing lineup with the dead five, the balance of victory began to tilt.

At this time, it was Iguodala who was defending Lin Tian, ​​and this defensive leader was firmly on Lin Tian.

He did cause some trouble to Lin Tian.

On the offensive end of the Warriors, their selflessness also made Lin Tian feel his scalp tingling.

Of the five players present, almost none of them stuck to the ball.

When the ball is in their hands, their first thought is to pass.

One of the great benefits of passing the ball is that it consumes the physical strength of the defensive players.

On the outside, Clarkson couldn't match Curry at all.

Kobe was also so entangled by Thompson that he couldn't receive Lin Tian's pass at all.

On the inside, Howard was led to the outside by the Warriors again and again, and the role he could play was also minimized.

Only Lin Tian can score in the face of Iguodala, and the offense of the others is completely misfired.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Weiping was also very anxious: "Oh! The Lakers can't play like this! Only Lin Tian can't win by standing alone!"

It would be fine if the Lakers just misfired on the offensive end, but they also have problems on the defensive end.

The Warriors' unselfish passing sent the Lakers running back and forth, sometimes without knowing who they were defending.

The most important thing is that the shooting percentage of the Splash Brothers in this section is terrifying!As a result, no one dared to let them go!
The extremely high shooting percentage of the two caused the fans to applaud excitedly when they raised their hands to shoot.

Under such circumstances, Lin Tian naturally did not defend Barnes, he defended Thompson, because Kobe could no longer keep up with Thompson.

He guarded Thompson, which is obviously not a big problem for the Warriors who are blooming everywhere.

They have Curry, Barnes, and even Chasing Dream Green, who is not accurate with three-pointers, also made three-pointers.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Warriors, when the third quarter was almost over, the Lakers were already behind by as much as 17 points!
The Warriors once again proved their title of third-quarter gods.

Although falling behind a lot, the Lakers have no intention of surrendering.

As soon as the last quarter started, Lin Tian was arranged by Scott to go into battle ahead of schedule.

At this time, the Warriors are playing with a few substitutes, but their several substitute players are also ridiculously accurate.

Livingston's terrifying post was desperate, and Barbosa and Speights also made three-pointers.

Although the Lakers are trying to narrow the point difference, it is somewhat useless.

After Dreaming Green came on the court in the fourth quarter, Howard, who was a little angry throughout the game, had a little friction with Dreaming Green.

Howard played the most depressing game in the first three quarters today. An inside player of his was always picked up, but there was nothing he could do.

Howard was also targeted by the Warriors and was often misplaced.

Let him play Green, he can play, but Green always plays pick-and-roll for Curry, and let him defend Curry, there is no way.

After a small conflict occurred between the two, they were quickly pulled apart by players from both sides.

The referee also gave each of them a technical foul and [-] rebounds each, and the matter was over.

The Lakers still wanted to continue chasing points, but the Warriors didn't give them this chance.

In the end, the score ended at 120:104.

The Lakers' eight-game winning streak ended in this way.

After the Warriors finished this game, their record became 56 wins and 6 losses.

They still have a lot of hope to break the Bulls' record, because their next schedule is not very difficult.
