NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 22 Lin bullies Booker!Booker can only trouble Russell
Devin Booker picked up the ball and sent it out with a depressed face.

Here, when Lin Tian returned to defense, he high-fived several teammates one by one to celebrate.

Brandon Knight dribbled the ball to the frontcourt of the Suns, and he made a three-pointer against Lu Wei's defense, which finally stopped the Suns from bleeding.

But they know it's only temporary.

Because once the No. 23 rookie of the Lakers rushes up, no one can stop him.

Lin Tian has played singles several times in a row. After returning to the frontcourt this time, he didn't ask for the ball, but pointed to Lu Wei inside.

The Lakers have many talents who are good at offense, and Lu Wei is one of the best.

When he was in the Raptors last season, Lu Wei also won the honor of the best sixth man.

There are more than 300 players in the NBA, and there are more substitutes than starters. The best sixth man is basically equal to the MVP among the substitutes. Lu Wei's strength can be seen.

However, Lu Wei's defensive ability has been criticized by others, and this is indeed the case. Whether it is defensive awareness or height, it is his disadvantage.

With the ball in hand, Lu Wei showed his extraordinary offensive power with the ball, and he directly hit the inside.

Although Lu Wei, who rushed into the inside, missed the ball, he caused a foul by the opponent.

He made two free throws, and the rhythm of both sides gradually slowed down.

Next, the Lakers' tactics are quite simple.

Lin Tian beat Lu Wei, and Lu Wei beat Nick Young.

Among the three, Lin Tian feels the best. He has already played PJ Tucker well.

Whether it's a layup after a breakthrough or an emergency stop jumper, the shooting percentage is frighteningly high.

As for Lin Tian's defense, the entire third quarter was almost over, and Booker, who was in charge of his defense, basically didn't touch the ball much.

The defense of both teams is very poor, so whoever has a smoother offense will have a much better chance of winning.

In the first three quarters of today's game, the Lakers' offense was obviously stronger.

Lin Tian played the entire third quarter.

下场休息的时候，他看了一下自己的数据：30分8篮板2助攻5抢断2盖帽。

He shot close to 80 percent today.

The Lakers have already led the Suns by as much as 17 points.

The main reason is because the Suns' rookie Booker is completely restricted by Lin Tian.

Their 3D player Tucker also has nothing to do with Lin Tian.

While Scott was drawing tactics on the tactical board, Kobe came over and said, "Lin! You have a chance to win the first double-double of your career today!"

Lin Tian smiled and nodded: "Yes, there are still two rebounds short."

In fact, he guarded Devin Booker for most of the third quarter.

And Booker is a shooting guard, basically floating on the outside, so Lin Tian didn't get many rebounds in the third quarter, only 2.

"Come on!" Kobe said, "Just beat them! We're not the bottom one in the West!"

The difference between the Suns and the Lakers is only one game. Today's direct dialogue will have a great impact on the ranking.

Either the Lakers will secure the bottom one position, or become the bottom two.

Although the management of both teams wants to be bad, there is no doubt that the players on the field want to win.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Lin Tian rested temporarily, and the Lakers sent several substitute players including Nick Young.

Scott doesn't have high demands on them, he just wants them to stabilize the status quo.

Who knew that they would really be unable to stabilize after the start.

At this time, the Suns were still all starters. While Lin Tian was not on the court, Booker got the ball rarely.

The man guarding him is Clarkson.

Clarkson is shorter than Lin Tian, ​​and his defense is not at the same level as Lin Tian.

For Booker, he is like a person who has held his breath in the water for a long time, and now he can finally come out to breathe.

Catching a pick-and-roll from Brandon Knight, Booker briefly got rid of Clarkson, then he raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.

After the Lakers dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, the ball was in Russell's hands.

Nick Young and Clarkson are not running, they are not the kind of players who can like to run.

Russell stretched out his hand to direct, and then chose to go it alone.

Although the man who defended him was passed, the Suns' supplementary defense was timely, which directly caused Russell's mistake.

With this mistake, the Suns succeeded in a fast break.

The Suns played 5:0 at the beginning.

It didn't even hit a minute, and Scott didn't call a timeout.

The ball went to the Lakers, and Nick Young held the ball.

Both Russell and Randle know Nick Young's personality, and it's not easy to get him to pass the ball.

Sure enough, after some dribbling, Nick Young threw the ball in his hand.

The difficulty of throwing this ball is relatively high, and it happens that Nick Young belongs to the kind of person who likes to throw difficult shots.

After the ball crossed an arc in the air, it clanged like iron.

Tucker near the paint protected the rebound and passed it to Booker.

Booker quickly dribbled the ball to the Suns' frontcourt and threw the ball again against Russell's defense.

Then he set his sights on Lin Tian, ​​who was on the Lakers' bench, full of provocation.

The fourth quarter started 8:0!The Lakers fans at the scene have already booed, obviously very dissatisfied with the performance of the home team.

The big-mouthed Barkley in the studio also laughed: "As soon as Lin of the Lakers came off the court, Booker came back to life!"

Smith nodded: "Lin bullied Booker! Booker can only trouble Russell! This year's rookies are full of vigor!"

Although Devin Booker didn't have much chance to shoot under Lin Tian's defense, he has already scored 25 points today.

Most of these points were obtained when Lin Tian was on the field.

On the court side, Scott originally wanted Lin Tian to rest for a while, but when the Suns successfully defended another ball and counterattacked successfully, he had no choice but to call a timeout.

At this time, the Lakers only led by 7 points.

With more than 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter, they didn't even score a point.

Scott, who has always had a good temper, couldn't help raising his voice.

He kept talking about sharing the ball, but he didn't know how many people could listen.

After the timeout ended, Lin Tian went into battle again.

When seeing Lin Tian playing again, Booker frowned.

However, the few points he scored just now made him regain some confidence!I must find my way back!
The ball is currently on the Lakers' side. After Lin Tian got the ball, he directly hit the inside.

The Suns' center Chandler and the power forward hurriedly stopped in the paint.

The space was compressed, and Lin Tian rarely passed the ball to Nick Young on the flank.

The attention of the Suns was almost all on Lin Tian. Nick Young got an open chance. He adjusted his shooting angle and finally made a three-pointer.

Witnessing Nick Young's goal, Lin Tian quickly returned to defense.

As soon as Booker held the ball for halftime, Lin Tian stretched his arms and pasted it.

At this time, PJ Tucker took the initiative to come over to play a pick-and-roll for Booker. They also knew that facing Lin Tian singles would not work, and they had to pick and roll.

Tucker's strong body blocked Lin Tian.

Booker took the opportunity to go inside, but just as he was holding the ball from Tucker and was about to go inside, he felt a gust of wind blowing, and then found that the basketball that had just hit the floor did not return to his palm...

When he reacted, he realized that Lin Tian had already bypassed Tucker and snatched the ball from him!
There was a flat landscape in front of him, and Lin Tian made another slam dunk to drive the atmosphere of the audience.

DJ also shouted loudly: "Lin! 32 points and 6 steals!"
