NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 215 Tie-break battle!

More importantly, the team boss Durant has never made any statement on the matter of contract renewal, which is the biggest hidden danger.

In the official NBA studio, Barkley kept feeling in front of the camera: "It's unbelievable! The Lakers dragged the game to the tiebreaker!"

Smith also grinned: "It is said that the most beautiful word is tie-break! The most exciting game of the playoffs so far is about to begin!"

Xiaoxue, who was far away in Los Angeles, also opened her laptop a long time ago to watch the hottest game through live broadcast.

On her table, there are also various melon and fruit snacks.

Lan Lan also stayed at Xiaoxue's house today, and now she has become a fan of Nick Yang, and she doesn't even want to miss the warm-up shots of the players.

"Xiaoxue, do you think the Lakers can win today?"

"I don't know." Xiaoxue bit her lip, keeping her eyes on Lin Tian who was warming up in the camera, "But I know Lin Tian will go all out."

"If the Lakers lose, can't you have an early vacation?"

"Then I'd rather work overtime all the time."

"Tsk tsk! I didn't expect you to be so infatuated with Lin Tian! It's a pity that Lin Tian doesn't know about it."

"What are you talking nonsense, girl? Who is infatuated? Ah!" Xiaoxue said, stretching out a pair of jade hands to gently pinch Lan Lan's neck.

"Help! Someone is going to murder my girlfriend!"

……

Penguin Sports Live.

The heat of the tie-break battle between any teams will not be low, let alone this is the tie-break of the Lakers.

The popularity of the live broadcast room has reached an unprecedented 6000 million!
Almost every second, hundreds of viewers sent gifts.

The screen swiping speed of the barrage is far faster than any other live broadcast.

Countless Kobe fans and black fans fell in love and killed each other in the live broadcast room.

"I don't want this to be Kobe's farewell battle! Must win!"

"Whether the Thunder can win tonight depends on Kobe's strength!"

"The Thunder's defense is so strong, and tonight we can see Kobe's three irons again!"

"You fucking black volutes! I'll set you monkeys!"

"I like both teams very much! As a fan, I only hope to see a wonderful tiebreaker tonight!"

"I'm a KD fan, but I paid the Lakers tonight!"

"The Lakers beat the Thunder! Durant joins the Lakers in the offseason! Guys! What do I think?"

……

Even if Lin Tian wants to communicate with his teammates in the crowded Pizza Check Energy Arena, he still needs to speak loudly.

He really enjoyed the atmosphere of the away game.

Soon, the lights in the arena went out one after another, and the live dj began to introduce the starting players of the away game, that is, Lin Tian and the others.

Then there was the introduction of the Thunder's five starters. The DJ and the audience were obviously more enthusiastic.

In this life-and-death battle, the starting lineups of both sides have not changed in any way from the previous game.

After the referee blew the whistle, Lin Tian lifted his legs back, rubbed the soles of his shoes with his palms, and walked towards the middle circle to prepare for the jump ball.

The Thunder players also looked solemn, especially Westbrook.

After ten players from both sides stand in the positions designated by the referee, the jump ball begins!
Howard took off at a better timing than Adams, and he flicked the ball lightly to Lin Tian's hand.

Lin Tian was about to play singles with the ball, Durant and Robertson greeted him with open arms!Still double-teaming!
Lin Tian gritted his teeth and quickly passed the ball to Kobe on the flank.

Kobe took the ball, looked firmly at the basket, and made his signature shooting action.

Swish!The ball is hollow into the net!

wow...

In the corner of the arena, a group of Lakers fans wearing purple and gold jerseys stood up and cheered excitedly.

The first score of the game was completed by Kobe.

After the shot, Bryant glared at Andre Roberson: "Young man! I don't get the respect a veteran deserves from you! I'll make you pay!"

In the first few games, the Thunder did not hesitate to let go of Kobe in order to double-team Lin Tian.

If this was in Kobe's peak period, it would be unimaginable.

It's just that Kobe's performance is mediocre, coupled with the intense confrontation in the playoffs, his threat is not so great.

In this game, Bryant just wanted the Thunder to pay for their double-teaming.

Robertson bowed his head and said nothing, but quickly returned to the Thunder frontcourt.

After Lin Tian came back, he didn't follow Durant, but stood on the weak side, fighting hand-to-hand with Ibaka.

He is not as tall as Ibaka and weighs a lot less than Ibaka, but he didn't suffer much in the confrontation with Ibaka.

When the Lakers put up this formation, it means that they must try to hold the inside line as much as possible.

Westbrook dribbled the ball and handed it to Durant to handle.

Pj Tucker clapped his palms, showing that he had nowhere to vent his strength.

Facing Tucker, Durant crossed the dribble, and after a feint, he took the ball and killed it.

Tucker was not shaken off, and followed Durant's footsteps closely.

Seeing this, Lin Tian exclaimed that it was not good. Although Tucker did not lose his position, he was rushed by Durant, and it was difficult to stop him!
He immediately took two steps forward and made a defensive move to help defend. As for Ibaka, even if Durant passed the ball to him, Lin Tian is not afraid, he has confidence in his speed.

After all, Durant still didn't rush inside!He stopped and shot a jump shot more than one meter away from the three-second zone.

Although his take-off height is not high, Tucker can't interfere with Durant!
This is an extremely comfortable shooting area for Durant. His shooting percentage can reach more than 60% in this place!
Swish!
The ball fell into the basket without much surprise, and the Thunder also scored two points.

Thunder fans are excited!The on-site commentary even said bluntly: "Kd stood up! It can be seen that his desire to attack is very strong today!"

After Lin Tian came back with the ball, with the lesson just now, Robertson dared not blindly rush to double-team Lin Tian again.

After all, Kobe's three-point threat is still not small.

Durant stared at Lin Tian's every move intently, and he was ready to steal at any time.

Inside, Howard is still stuck with Adams.

Against Durant's defense, Lin Tian took the ball and went to the inside with extremely fast speed.

Ibaka and Adams immediately blocked the basket, forming an extremely strong line of defense inside.

Even Westbrook quickly approached the penalty area when Lin Tian broke through, ready to grab a rebound.

Thunder's big inside line is daunting, but Lin Tian is not afraid.

Jumping into the air, he did not choose to force a shot, but suddenly passed the ball to Nick Young on the wing.

Westbrook, who was originally responsible for defending Nick Young, has come near the inside line, which makes Nick Young open.

After catching the ball, he adjusted the angle a little and then threw the ball!
The basketball hit the backboard first, then bounced into the hoop!

The ball went in and the Lakers led by four points.

Nick Yang gave Lin Tian a thumbs up, indicating that it was a quick pass.

Durant shook his head, he was very dissatisfied with the team's defense this time.

Or it can be said that he is quite dissatisfied with Westbrook's defense this time.

This scene happened to be captured by the live camera on the sidelines.

Barkley in the studio couldn't help laughing: "Judging from KD's body language, he is very dissatisfied with Westbrook's defense this time!"

Smith also nodded: "Westbrook's defensive habits are too bad! He will always forget to keep an eye on his defender for no reason.

Barkley said solemnly: "Hey hey! Dude! This is not inexplicable! Westbrook is obviously rushing to grab rebounds!"

"He is just waiting for Lin to shoot. If he misses, he is lucky enough to grab a rebound. This season, his average rebounds are quite a lot, close to 8! It's almost the same as KD!"

"The Thunder has the most rebounds in the league this season! That's right! I have to ask you a question! Who has the most rebounds per game in the Thunder this season?"

"Dude! To be asked such a simple question of me, of course it's Adams."

"Wrong! It's kd! Haha!"

After the Lakers scored two three-pointers in the opening game, Durant and Westbrook were relentless.

Facing the defense of Tucker and Nick Young, the two also scored frequently.

However, the areas where they scored were all COSCO shots.

The pace of the first quarter of the tiebreaker was obviously much slower than that of G6.

Players on both sides cherish the ball more.

Of course, the collision of limbs has also become a lot more intense.

Restricted by the three-point threat of the Lakers, the Thunder did not dare to double-team Lin Tian easily, which made Lin Tian's shots gradually increase.

Most of Lin Tian's shots in the first quarter were mid-range shots. In addition to saving energy, there is another reason, that is, he feels good today.

The players spared no effort on the court, and the point difference has been maintained at around 5 points.

After the first quarter, the second quarter just started, which is the regular rest time for Lin Tian and Kobe.

Bryant, as usual, sat on the bench when his therapist came over to massage his legs.

Lin Tian has always set his sights on the court.

The Thunder are now led by substitute Waiters.

Their tactic is to draw Howard on the Lakers' side out of the line.

After Howard was taken out of the perimeter, the Thunder's offensive options increased.

Even if they are not allowed to shoot, it is not so difficult to grab offensive rebounds.

The Thunder are best at grabbing offensive rebounds this season.

The 5-point advantage established by the Lakers in the first quarter was caught up by the Thunder in less than 1 minute.

Lin Tian didn't dare to rest at all, he got up quickly, and when he walked to Scott's side, he said: "Next time the ball is dead, I will go directly."

Scott was confused: "You only rested for dozens of seconds!"

Lin Tian curled his lips and said, "I have several months of rest during the offseason."

After hearing these words, Scott was speechless. After a few seconds, he patted Lin Tian on the shoulder: "Okay! Come on!"

Next to the technical stage, Donovan was satisfied with the performance of the players when he saw Lin Tian coming to the technical stage.

He frowned instinctively, this guy is really an iron man!He scored close to 45 points in the last game!Don't plan to rest today?

What Donovan didn't know was that Lin Tian copied all the abilities of the peak Iverson, including physical strength!
Iverson has played more than ten seasons in his career, and has averaged more than 11 minutes per game in 40 seasons!It is no exaggeration to say that he is an iron man.

In contrast, in recent years, there have been almost no players averaging more than 40 minutes per game in the regular season.

The Rockets' Harden played the most minutes this season, but he only played 38 minutes per game.

Of course, Lin Tian's height and weight are quite different from Iverson's.

After the last game, he was exhausted.

After the dead ball, Lin Tian, ​​Clarkson and Channing Frye returned to the court.

Although Clarkson played the worst performance of his career in the first few games, the Lakers had no one available, and Scott could only trust him.

Lin Tian said to the two of them: "When we have the ball, you just need to stand where you need to stand, and I will definitely pass the ball to your hands! Never hesitate! Just catch the ball and shoot it! If you don't score, you can shoot again!"

Clarkson and Channing Frye nodded simultaneously.

The Lakers serve from the bottom line, and Lin Tian dribbles the ball across the half.

The team's center Channing Frye ambushed in the corner early, and Clarkson also stood on the wing.

Durant was not on the court, and Ibaka defended Lin Tian for the Thunder.

Lin Tian singled out Ibaka and used his usual crossover.

Although Ibaka has been selected to the best defensive team, but that is his achievement in the interior.

Facing Lin Tian, ​​who was like an ankle terminator, he was almost knocked down.

After Lin Tian passed Ibaka, the basket was empty!Because Thunder center Adams has been attracted by Channing Frye.

He drove straight in, and when he rushed into the inside line, it was a dunk!
boom!
Howard, who had just come off the court to rest, was as happy as a fat man weighing more than 200 kilograms!Nick Young also celebrated.

Donovan supported his forehead. Ibaka's speed is actually not slow, and his previous defense against players in the third position was not bad.

But facing the monster Lin Tian, ​​Ibaka's speed was not enough.

After returning, Ibaka quickly rushed to the basket, locked himself in position, and reached out to Waiters on the outside for the ball.

Ibaka is a grumpy player, which Lin Tian knows very well.

Although Waiters was very reluctant, it was great to see Ibaka's position!
Moreover, he is taller than Lin Tian, ​​and when he is stuck in a good position in the interior, it is almost equal to giving points in the case of big and small!So he passed the ball directly to Ibaka.

Lin Tian, ​​who was stuck behind Ibaka's huge body, was not in a hurry at all. He took advantage of Ibaka's strength and slapped his right hand hard!
There was a loud bang!The ball was taken away by Lin Tian abruptly, and then he quickly stepped forward to complete the steal.

With the basketball in hand, Lin Tian rushed to the frontcourt as fast as lightning.

His speed increased, and no one could stop him!

When he came to the basket, Lin Tian took off again and completed the dunk!
Beep……

Two consecutive dunks directly stopped the Thunder!The home fans also sighed.

Westbrook and Durant, who were going to play, sat back on the bench dejectedly.

Nick Young personally walked onto the court to greet Lin Tian: "Lin! That's so cool! You almost made Ibaka cry! Haha!"

Howard couldn't help but waved his fist: "It's time to let that ignorant guy see how good you are!"
