NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 218 The god of death shows his power, two fatal points

Ibaka and Westbrook were stunned.

This kind of pie-feeding offensive method has been used frequently by the Thunder this season.

Usually, Westbrook, who has a great offensive threat, gives the ball to Ibaka after attracting the opponent's defense, and Ibaka can score.

But today, they underestimated Lin Tian's personal defensive ability, or in other words, they underestimated Lin Tian's lateral movement speed.

In such a short period of time, Lin Tian was able to react, which is simply unimaginable.

Ibaka has been completely beaten by Lin Tian, ​​and today he was crushed by Lin Tian in all directions.

The ball is still on the Thunder's side, but their attack time is less than two seconds.

After Robertson sent the ball to Durant from outside the baseline, Durant sold it in a hurry and didn't make it.

Howard grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Lin Tian.

After dribbling for halftime, Lin Tian stared at Durant's defense and suddenly made a three-pointer.

Swish!The ball goes into the net!

In the last few minutes when every ball possession is extremely critical, Lin Tian finally opened up his three-pointer, which was not easy for him.

In the next few rounds, whether it was offense or defense, the concentration of both sides increased by a level, and the success rate was also quite high.

The Lakers' offense is terminated by Lin Tian or Kobe.

When defending the Thunder, the Thunder still used their old tactics against Kobe.

It is true that Kobe's speed can't keep up, but Lin Tian helps him in the defense, and the effect is much better.

Lin Tian's personal defensive ability can be said to be against the sky, and Donovan on the sidelines shook his head!
This person's defense is comparable to two people!

Before I knew it, the time had come to the last minute.

The Lakers tied the score at 88.

Donovan called a timeout, which eased the tension a little.

But everyone is very clear that this is only temporary!
Barkley in the official NBA studio couldn't hold back his excitement: "My God! I feel like I'm watching the finals!"

Smith also took a deep breath: "The resilience of the Lakers is beyond all imagination! I must apologize for my underestimation of them before the game!"

"To be honest, I was not optimistic about the Lakers at all before! But who would have thought that they could force the score like this!"

"I can see it in Kobe's eyes, he obviously doesn't want to retire, at least tonight doesn't seem like the time for him to retire."

"The future of Lin of the Lakers is limitless! I dare say he will be the face of the league next season!"

……

Penguin Sports Live.

The short pause also gave the millions of viewers in the live broadcast room a moment of relief.

However, the barrage in the live broadcast room has not been reduced.

"66666! Lin Tian's performance is completely at the FMVP level!"

"Don't brag! The performance of these two teams today is completely at the championship level! The Warriors have to weigh it!"

"Such a wonderful game in the first round of the playoffs! It's rare in the NBA for ten years!"

"Don't let it be Kobe's retirement battle, the Spurs are still waiting for you!"

"To be honest, on an occasion like today, it doesn't matter if the Lakers lose. It's not easy for them to get to this point!"

……

Although it was a long timeout, Lin Tian and Kobe were still out of breath when they returned to the court.

At this time, the Thunder owned the ball. Westbrook served from the sideline and passed the ball to Durant.

Durant dribbled the ball and looked at the basket.

There are already many fans at the scene cheering and cheering for Durant.

The Dj also switched to a rousing, aggressive background track, hoping to empower Durant.

Lin Tian had already changed his defensive target with Tucker, and in the last few tens of seconds, he would personally mark Durant.

The two are currently the highest scorers in the team!It is also the absolute boss of both sides on the court.

Their counterpoint made all the audience feel the adrenaline rush.

Durant did not shoot directly, but began to consume offensive time.

The Lakers are also temporarily behind, and Lin Tian doesn't need to take the risk of pressing.

Time passed bit by bit, until there were 10 seconds left in the shot clock, and the Thunder players began to run without the ball.

In Lin Tian's eyes, their running position was just a cover. Even if they ran out of open space, it would be difficult for Durant to give up such a crucial shot.

Durant continued to wait for time to pass while observing the situation.

When there were only 5 seconds left in the attack time, he finally moved!
Durant held the ball in his right hand and pretended to break through to the right. The moment Lin Tian moved his foot, he retracted his right leg again!Pull it out directly!
The sudden three-pointer made Lin Tian unable to react for a short time. He tried his best to jump forward, but it was too late!

This time the three-point shot made Durant hardly disturbed!

When the ball was thrown by him, his hands remained in the shooting position.

After Lin Tian landed, he looked back!I saw that the ball fell into the box accurately!
Durant's key three-pointer!bingo!
Whoa!

Countless home fans jumped up excitedly.

The score was rewritten to 91:88!The Thunder lead by 3 points!
But this time he almost ran out of attack time, leaving only 38 seconds left in the game.

Scott hesitated for a few seconds, and finally did not call a timeout, but just yelled: "Fast break! Play fast break!"

If they only play a fast break for a few seconds, they still have a chance to attack.

If the offensive time is exhausted this time, even if they score, they will be very passive.

After the Lakers served, Lin Tian quickly advanced.

Just after halftime, he was about to shoot Durant, and Durant and Robertson rushed over to double-team at the same time.

They didn't even want to give Lin Tian a chance to make a three-point shot!
Under such circumstances, even if Lin Tian makes a shot forcefully, the hit rate may be impressively low.

Before the double-team was fully formed, Lin Tian quickly passed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe's touch today is pretty good. After he catches the ball, he raises his hand and shoots!
This is an open three-pointer. As soon as the ball is shot, it attracts everyone's attention.

Lin Tian also rushed to the basket at the moment of Kobe's shot, so that even if he missed, he still had a chance to grab a rebound.

Bang!

The ball is a little crooked, and it's iron!

The ball popped out of the restricted area.

Ibaka, Durant, Tucker, Robertson and Lin Tian jumped at the same time to catch this crucial rebound.

Among them, Ibaka has the best position.

It's just that his fingertips just touched the basketball, and the other hand forcibly snatched the ball away!
Lin Tian's bounce seemed to stand out among the five.

After grabbing the board with one hand, Lin Tian passed the ball back to Kobe on the outside before his foot landed.

Kobe's open space this time is much bigger than before!At the same time, his pressure has also increased a lot.

After slightly adjusting the angle of his shot, Kobe still threw the ball under great pressure.

The ball first hit the backboard and then bounced into the frame.

The score was tied at 91!The arena also instantly became quiet.

The chronograph stopped, and it showed that there were 26 seconds left in the game.

Kobe missed the first shot just now, and it took a few extra seconds.

26 seconds, basically only time for one attack.

Adams was about to take the ball to the baseline and Donovan called a timeout.

The next attack may be Thunderclap's last attack, and he must organize it well.

The players on the Lakers also have a rare time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Tian and Kobe clapped hands. At the critical moment, Kobe was still very reliable.

Kobe scored 24 points today!

From G1 to today, this is the highest score Kobe scored in a single game.

Coming to the bench, Scott gave the players only one sentence, that is, desperately defend the Thunder's next ball and don't foul.

In the case of not falling behind, they will not foul, because it would be great if they can prevent it.

On the side of the Thunder bench, Donovan is also quickly arranging the tactics for the next ball.

"Adams stands in the inside position! Your offensive rebounding awareness is very good! Don't go outside! Ibaka and Robertson respond from the outside. After Russell serves, give the ball to KD, and KD will finish it!" Donovan yelled at the top of his voice while drawing tactics on the tactical board.

For shooting at critical moments, his most trusted player is Durant.

Because this season, Durant's two-point shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage are much higher than Westbrook.

The timeout ended quickly, and the players returned to the court one after another.

After the Thunder serve, Westbrook temporarily holds the ball.

Nick Young focused on Westbrook with a concentration he hadn't had in his life.

Westbrook didn't stick to the ball today. After a few dribbles, he quickly and decisively passed the ball to Durant, who will handle it.

Lin Tian defended Durant, he wanted to press forward, but ended without a problem.

Durant's ball-handling ability is definitely among the top among all small forwards.

When he holds the ball and doesn't want to attack for a while, it is difficult to get the ball out of his hand.

The Lakers have nothing to do but try to defend the ball this round.

All ten players on the field were tense.

Witnessing the passage of time every minute and every second, Durant was not in a hurry at all.

Slowly, the time came to the last ten seconds, Durant was still indifferent.

When the attack time was only 5 seconds left, Durant finally dribbled the ball under his crotch.

Everyone knew that he was going to attack.

Lin Tian opened his long arms and stared at Durant.

5...

4...

3...

With three seconds left on the offensive clock, Durant made a change of direction and went straight inside.

How could Lin Tian agree? When he retreated, his body was always blocking Durant's forward path.

After Durant crossed the three-point line, he came near the free throw line!
Lin Tian thought he would continue to kill, but Durant suddenly stopped and shot his iconic mid-range shot!

Lin Tian, ​​who reacted extremely quickly, also stopped immediately and jumped with all his strength!
The height of his jump has far surpassed Durant, and his arms are stretched out straight, just to be able to stop the ball!
When the basketball flew over Lin Tian's head, Lin Tian could clearly feel that his fingertips touched the ball.

But that's all.

The flight trajectory of the basketball has not been greatly affected by it!

After flying in the air for two seconds, the basketball fell steadily to the rim.

The audience burst into enthusiastic cheers, and some excited Thunder fans couldn't help hugging their relatives and friends next to them.

The dj also yelled desperately: "I bought it!! Karma!! The critical moment! KD! Two points hit...he is the hero of Oklahoma City tonight!"

The timer was stopped with the goal.

Durant roared twice, stretched out his hand and slapped his chest fiercely twice, as if he wanted to vent all the depression these days.

Westbrook and Ibaka also rushed towards Durant and hugged Durant excitedly.

On the Lakers side, Lin Tian looked at the basket in a daze.

If he had just jumped one centimeter higher, he would have been able to completely block the ball.

No more!He would rather he hadn't taken off just now. If his fingertips hadn't touched the basketball, maybe the ball wouldn't have gone in.

It's just that thinking about it so much now is useless.

The Thunder led the Lakers 93:91, leaving only a short 2.8 seconds for the Lakers to attack.

Lin Tian failed to guard Durant twice in a row, which also made him ashamed.

Although all the Lakers players were extremely depressed, Kobe still walked up to Lin Tian and patted Lin Tian on the shoulder: "Lin, you did your best."

Kobe saw Lin Tian's take-off just now!He had never seen a 2.05-meter player jump so high.

Scott didn't have time to sigh, and quickly called the last timeout of the game.

The Thunder had less than three seconds left on their shot.

For the Lakers, the only good thing now is that they can serve at the center line after the game starts.

Although the time is short, it shouldn't be too difficult to throw the last ball.

As the game entered the final moment, the popularity of the Penguin Sports live broadcast room also reached an unprecedented 7000 million.

"Damn! That ball just now, Lin Tianzhen jumped up desperately, but he still couldn't block Durant! It's too difficult!"

"Less than three seconds behind and two points behind, the Lakers' journey this season is over!"

"The Lakers have really tried their best! If they make some trades this season, they will definitely be a championship-level team next season."

"Kobe! Thank you for leaving an indelible beauty in my youth!"

"I think the Lakers will trade two players with strong perimeter defense next season, which can make the entire league cry."

"Durant deserves to be the god of death! He was restricted by Lin Tian in front, and the last two shots were all made by Lin Tian!"

"Who said this is the era when CIC is dead?"

……

The game is not over yet, but many fans have already considered it over by default.

In their view, the Lakers' hope of a comeback is indeed very slim.

Xiaoxue, who was far away in Los Angeles, was already hugging a pillow tightly and speechless.

She pursed her lips tightly, with a look of worry in her eyes.

Lan Lan covered her chest: "This Durant is really strong! His shooting is too accurate!"
