NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 193 What Dancing Female Audience?
After changing his shoes, Nick Yang also walked up to Lin Tian and patted him on the shoulder: "Lin! Don't be too modest."

Howard deeply agreed with this, and he curled his lips: "You Chinese people are humble."

What they said made Lin Tian scratch his head in embarrassment: "Is this also called humility?"

The last two free throws were indeed his problem.

"Yes! This is modesty! You'd better get rid of this bad habit."

"If it weren't for you, a scary guy, we might have swallowed a game of strength! The playoffs will be suspended."

……

Post-match press conference.

After all, it was the penultimate regular season game of the Lakers, and the entire media room was overcrowded, and the photographers aimed their guns and short cannons at Lin Tian and the others on stage.

Kobe has changed into a handsome suit, while Lin Tian is wearing a set of casual clothes.

Facing reporters in Oklahoma, Bryant recalled his previous footprints in the city.

The game he won today made him feel extremely happy, and he didn't hesitate to ask questions from the reporters.

Bryant's eyes darkened a lot when it was mentioned that this might be the last time he played for the Thunder as a player.

Kobe's interview alone took nearly 15 minutes.

When it was Lin Tian's turn, Lin Tian even felt sleepy.

But he adjusted quickly. With so many cameras facing him, he couldn't be in a bad state.

The first reporter from Oklahoma asked: "Lin! You scored [-] points tonight! What do you think of tonight's game?"

Lin Tian pondered for a moment, then spoke into the microphone: "Everyone performed really well tonight! As we all know, the Thunder is a very strong team. They have one of the two best players in the league, but we strictly implemented the tactics assigned by the coach. Everyone kept an eye on their defenders. Everyone actively moved and defended with all their strength, and won this hard-won victory. All in all, it was a great night."

His answer couldn't be more official. It not only praised the Thunder, but also invisibly raised the strength of the Lakers.

The reporter memorized his words quickly, scribbling and drawing in a notebook.

Next came the second reporter from Sports Illustrated. He adjusted his glasses: "Lin! Do you think you beat KD tonight?"

Reporters like to stir up conflicts between players. Lin Tian smiled wryly: "KD is an MVP-level player! His offense is almost unstoppable, and I couldn't limit his performance well tonight, but fortunately, I blocked him in the end."

As a player, it is naturally impossible for him to answer such a question directly, and he can only evade it with vague words.

The reporter was satisfied with Lin Tiandi's answer.

Soon, the third question that Lin Tian didn't know how to answer was raised: "Lin! You missed the last two key free throws today. This is not in line with your normal free throw level. Does this have something to do with the dancing female audience in the stands? Did they interfere with your free throw?"

After asking this question, all the reporters stared at Lin Tian with eyes like copper bells.

Even Kobe, Howard and Scott were stunned for a while.

At that time, they were not facing the dancing female audience, so they naturally didn't know that there was such a thing.

Facing this tricky question, his mind turned quickly today, and he showed a rather puzzled expression: "What are the dancing female audience? I didn't notice these at the time, and all I could think about was how to get those two free throws in, but in the end you also saw that I messed up.

Although the reporter didn't get the answer he wanted, he sat back.

Lin Tian let out a breath, then got up with Kobe and the others and left the media room.

After walking out of the media room, Howard approached Lin Tian: "Lin! Is this the reason why you missed the free throw?"

"Nothing, don't listen to those reporters talking nonsense." Lin Tian naturally wouldn't admit it.

Howard chuckled: "I'll watch the replay when the time comes! Lin, this kind of thing is normal, and I have experienced it before! Those away fans are really heartbroken. They will do anything to interfere with your free throw."

"It turns out that this is the reason for your inaccurate free throws." Kobe suddenly said, which made Lin Tian laugh.

It was already 01:30 in the morning when the three returned to the hotel, but Lin Tian lost sleepiness instead.

He couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and check the results of the Rockets, Mavericks, and Grizzlies today.

The victory or defeat of these teams is directly related to the ranking of the Western Conference.

It is a pity that the Rockets and the Grizzlies played extremely bravely today, and they all won the game.

This made the ranking in the West even more confusing.

There is still the last regular season game that has not been played, Lin Tian calculated carefully again, if they lose the last regular season game, they may still miss the playoffs!Such an embarrassing situation is probably extremely rare in the long history of nba.

Lin Tian clicked on the sports news again, which did not surprise him. At the end of the regular season, there were a lot of news:

[The Lakers beat the Thunder!Lin kills Durant at the critical moment!Take the next city! 】

[Lin scored [-] points to lead the Lakers to victory!Kobe is expected to participate in the final playoffs of his career! 】

[42 wins and 39 losses!The Lakers temporarily rank sixth in the West! 】

[The Warriors narrowly beat the Cavaliers!72 wins and 9 losses so far this season!Has tied the Bulls regular season record! 】

[The Warriors are only one game away from breaking a new record! 】

[The west has become a mess! No.6 and No.9 still need to finish the last regular season game to be determined! 】

Among the many news, Lin Tian also saw a piece of news about his free throw at the last moment:

[Thunder fans resorted to beauty tricks, and Lin missed two free throws at the critical moment, which seems to have something to do with being interfered by the female fans at the scene. 】

After reading this news, he felt bad all over. These media can really cause trouble!

He took another look at the rankings in the Eastern Conference.

Compared with the west, the east is much more normal.

Even though most teams have yet to play the last regular season game, the rankings have all been determined.

The Cavaliers rank first in the Eastern Conference this year, the Raptors rank second, and the Heat rank third...

Fans often say that the West is strong and the East is weak. Judging from the regular season record, this is indeed the case.

After watching the news for a while, Lin Tiancai felt that his eyelids were twitching, and soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the players boarded the team plane in a hurry.

They have the next two days to rest, and then wait for work at home to meet the challenge of the Jazz.

And that game was also the end of the regular season for the Lakers!

Although Da went to bed late last night and got up early this morning, everyone on the plane was full of energy.

Especially Nick Young, who chased Lin Tian and kept asking questions: "Haha! Lin! Did you really look at the girl when you made the free throw?"

All the players in the team obviously knew about the news about Lin Tian's free throw being interfered by female audiences.

Nance Jr. and Clarkson also cast curious eyes.

Lin Tian shook his head decisively: "Don't listen to those reporters making rumors, am I that kind of person? It's just that I'm not in the right state when I make free throws."

Nick Yang showed a skeptical expression: "Why don't I really believe it? I don't know if Sistine has seen the news."

Now Lin Tian became a little dumbfounded. Sistine also sent him a message last night, but he just replied briefly.

He said seriously: "Guys! The top priority, let's think about how to play the last game of the regular season! Our opponent is the Jazz!"

When it came to the game, everyone's faces became a lot more serious.

Scott stood up at the right time and poured chicken soup for them: "Everyone performed very well last night! We just need to..."

After the plane landed in Los Angeles, there were airport staff to greet them.

Winning the Thunder yesterday is undoubtedly a reliable shot in the arm for Lakers fans.

These fans who took the initiative to pick up the plane were also very considerate of the players. They didn't even ask for autographs, they just chanted MVP and asked the players to go home early to rest.

After Lin Tian got home, he rested for half an hour before going to the arena for training.

The other players didn't come to the arena, because Scott gave everyone a half-day off.

Furthermore, other players are either training in their own villas or playing, and it is impossible to come all the way to the arena.

Another important reason for Lin Tian to come to the arena to train is that his home is very close to the arena, and it only takes a few minutes to walk.

One day passed by in a hurry, and after training during the day the next day, Scott arranged for everyone to watch the game together in the afternoon.

Because it is Sunday, many games will be played in the afternoon on Sunday.

The teams playing in the afternoon game today are the Heat, Eagles, Warriors and Spurs.

Among them, the game between the Warriors and the Spurs is the one that attracts the most attention from all fans.

Of these two teams, the Warriors sit firmly on the league's No. [-] record, and no team can come close.

Another Spurs, the No. [-] team in the Western Conference, is also as stable as an old dog.

The Spurs are now 67-41.

With such a record, they won 10 games more than the No. [-] Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference!
In other words, if the Spurs are in the East, they are number one in the East.

In the competition between No. [-] and No. [-] in the Western Conference, the outcome of the game has been unable to change their record.

But the reason why this game is so much-anticipated is because the Warriors will launch an impact on an unprecedented 73 wins.

In order to break the Bulls' record, Cole, who has always sought stability, did not let the Warriors players take turns in the second half of the regular season.

The Warriors players obviously never thought of giving up the opportunity to set a new record.

In contrast, Popovich of the Spurs has been resting players recently in preparation for the upcoming playoffs.

But in the face of the Warriors who are about to hit 73 wins, Popovich will obviously not be soft. No player is willing to be the background board of the Warriors.

This is also destined to this afternoon's duel will be extremely exciting.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, the game between the Warriors and the Thunder officially started!

This is an all-match live broadcast game, and the starting lineups on both sides are their strongest lineups.

At the beginning of the game, both sides showed the defensive strength of the playoffs.

The Spurs are a very strong defensive team. The five players have a clear division of labor and are close to the opponent, completely denying the Warriors any chance to open.

The old Shifu Duncan turned out to be full of fighting spirit today, facing Green with consecutive back hits.

Although he can no longer run, he is still Popovich's most trusted player.

The defenses of Tony Parker and Danny Green are also eye-catching.

They followed the Splash Brothers tightly, and did not give the Splash Brothers a good shooting opportunity throughout the first quarter.

So much so that after the first quarter, the Spurs led by eight points.

After the start of the second quarter, the defense of both sides has once again increased its intensity.

While watching the game, Lin Tian glanced at the other Lakers players sitting next to him, and saw that everyone was watching the game very seriously, even Howard and Nick Young, who wanted to play around, were all watching the game with full energy.

They even yell when they hit a good shot.

Lin Tian took out his mobile phone and opened Penguin Sports.

He is actually not used to watching games on Penguin Sports, but this time he opened Penguin Sports just to see how many people are paying attention to this game.

As Lin Tian expected, the popularity of this game was very high, reaching 2800 million popularity!

The bullet screen is also scrolling all the time:

"Warriors, come on! Primary school students, come on! 73 wins are waiting for you!"

"Brothers cheer on the Warriors! We will witness history!"

"Come on, Lin Tian! Come on, Lakers! Lakers champion!"

"The brother who said Lin Tian, ​​come on! Did you go to the wrong set?"

"I'm a fan of the Warriors! I exchanged my 73-year single for the Warriors' [-] wins!"

"The Spurs beat the Warriors! Wakayi rush!"

There are two teams' approval ratings in the live broadcast room, and the Warriors' approval rating exceeds 70%!

As a veteran team, the Spurs actually have a group of loyal fans in China.

But compared with the Warriors that have risen in recent years, their popularity is still slightly inferior.

It can be seen from some bullet screens in the live broadcast room that most of the fans who like the Warriors should be younger fans.

After turning off Penguin Live, Lin Tian turned his attention to the big screen in the meeting room again.

Under Popovich's training, the Spurs' defense was extremely targeted, and the Warriors' shooting percentage was very low.

The Warriors want to find the Spurs' weakness by playing misplaced, but the defensive system that the Spurs have established for many years is not easy for them to target.

After halftime, the Spurs led by 15 points.

Nick Young, Howard and others couldn't help but let out a long breath at this time.

Channing Frye laughed: "Haha! All of us are Spurs fans today!"

As players, they obviously don't want to see the Warriors break the Bulls' record, so they naturally support the Spurs.

Only Lin Tian knows that although the Spurs led by a lot of points in the first half, the Warriors will definitely win back in the second half.

The myth of the Warriors' 73 wins should not change in Lin Tian's life.
