NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 212 I will take everyone back to Oklahoma!

Lan Lan also sighed, and said, "We're already 30 points behind. The Lakers should have no hope of winning, right?"

Xiaoxue nodded lightly: "If there is no accident, I should have lost."

With a huge difference of 30 points, the two sides came to the last quarter.

Lin Tian didn't give up yet, he appeared at the beginning of the final quarter, which also meant that he hadn't rested throughout the second half.

The Thunder still sent Robertson to defend Lin Tian, ​​while Ibaka was still on the court.

In these two games, Ibaka targeted Lin Tian very much. As a shot blocker, he really wanted to cover Lin Tian, ​​but he hadn't found a chance yet.

Robertson's single defense and Ibaka's assisted defense caused Lin Tian to pass the ball to his teammates frequently.

The touch of Channing Frye and Tucker finally picked up, while the Thunder's Waiters was defended poorly by Lin Tian, ​​and the score was quickly catching up.

When the point difference was pulled back to 23 points, Donovan couldn't wait to send the Thunder back.

Waiters, who hadn't played enough, hurried back to the bench.

At this stage, it is not easy to fill in the holes dug earlier.

In the process of Lin Tian playing Durant in singles, Durant, who didn't talk much, even smiled and said to Lin Tian: "Give up! Your teammates can't give you any help! They will just miss all the three-pointers that should be made!"

On the contrary, these words aroused Lin Tian's competitiveness. He just responded to Durant with his super personal ability.

But there is too little time left for the Lakers!The Thunder still maintained a relatively high offensive efficiency in the final quarter.

In their offensive round, they often don't rush to attack, but in the process of delaying time, they discover the loopholes in the Lakers' defense, and then tear through the Lakers' weak defense like a cocoon.

Lin Tian was able to break the ball from Durant and Westbrook occasionally, and Kobe also increased the number of singles after he came back, but it didn't help.

The point difference was always kept around 20 points by the Thunder until less than 2 minutes left in the game.

Scott let out a long sigh, and then with a big wave of his hand, he withdrew several main players such as Lin Tian, ​​Kobe and Howard.

Garbage time is very difficult for main players like Lin Tian and Kobe.

In addition to facing the reality of an imminent loss, he also had to face the ridicule of many home fans behind him.

Kobe spread his hands to Lin Tian with a frustrated face: "Lin, my defense dragged down the team, and the offensive end didn't help you share the pressure."

In this game, he was targeted by the Thunder again!Even more exaggerated than the previous few games.

Kobe's body is indeed difficult to support the intensity of the playoffs. Otherwise, a paranoid person like him would not have announced his retirement after this season. He is more than two years younger than Duncan.

Lin Tian just shook his head: "Kobe, it's not your fault, you've tried your best."

Lin Tian knew very well that once on the court, no one played harder than Kobe.

Howard on the side also said in a deep voice: "Damn! Their insides are too good at rebounding and blocking positions! It's also difficult for me to play well."

Lin Tian naturally knows this well, Adams is the best offensive rebounder in the league.

Ibaka is 208 centimeters, and even Westbrook is the guard with the best rebound awareness.

Not only did the Lakers lose on defense, but they were also beaten by the Thunder in terms of rebounds. They had nothing to do.

Several people chatted for a while, and the game finally ended!
In the end, the Lakers lost the crucial Tianwangshan battle 89:117!

Lin Tiantian scored 47 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals.

After high-fiving his teammates, Lin Tian quickly walked from the player tunnel to the locker room.

The home fans on both sides of the channel did not let go of booing them.

After returning to the locker room, all the players bowed their heads in silence.

This round of the series has been played to this day, making them lose the worst game!There is little hope of a comeback.

The confidence of the players seems to have been shattered!This game also made them realize that the gap between themselves and the Thunder is indeed vast.

With such an atmosphere, it may be difficult to win the next game!
Lin Tian took a deep breath, walked to the middle of the locker room, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Everyone cheer up!"

Shocked by Lin Tian's words, all the players looked up at Lin Tian, ​​including Nick Young who was playing with his mobile phone and Howard who was changing his shoes.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Lin Tian continued: "Yes, everyone saw that we lost today and were beaten by the Thunder without any power to fight back! But losing is also a part of the game, and we must accept it! We played too badly in this game! Including me, I also made four turnovers! But this is definitely not our true level!
"Before playing this series, no one in the outside world was optimistic that we could win the Thunder, but we beat them twice at home! No one is a natural winner, let alone try to win if you don't work hard! What I want to tell everyone is that if we can win them two games, we can win four games! Everyone must not doubt yourself! Make the shot when you should! Be firm! I promise! As long as we play aggressive! I will bring everyone back to Oklahoma!"

His heartfelt words instantly made the eyes of Nick Young, Howard and others sparkle.

Clarkson and Nance Jr., who performed poorly in this game, also clenched their fists.

Kobe looked at Lin Tian with eyes full of approval. It seems that this guy is already trying to learn how to be the boss of the locker room, which is a good thing.

Under the leadership of Lin Tian, ​​the entire Lakers team united as one, putting their hands on their backs and chanting a resounding slogan.

Half an hour later, the post-match press conference.

Lin Tian calmly answered questions from reporters from all over the world and took the initiative to take responsibility.

But the third reporter who questioned him asked a provocative question: "Lin! Russell said the series will end in Los Angeles. What do you think?"

If it ends in Los Angeles, it means the Lakers lose.

Lin Tian said calmly: "I think it's more appropriate to end in Oklahoma!"

After finishing the interview and returning to the hotel, Lin Tian didn't even bother to read the news and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, after the players boarded the return flight, Nick Young suddenly said, "Damn it! The average ticket price in two days' time has already exceeded $1200!"

Lin Tian remembers that the last time the Lakers played the Thunder at home, the average ticket price per game was only $700.

He asked in surprise, "So expensive?"

Nick Young nodded: "The outside world generally believes that this will be the last game of Kobe's career! That's why the tickets are so expensive. How much do these people look down on us?"

Only then did Lin Tian feel relieved: "It's crazy!"
