NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 225 Lin Tian Received a Ticket
AT&T Center Arena.

hum...

With a long beep, G1 between the Spurs and the Lakers officially ended, with a score of 106:92.

The disappointment of all the Lakers players was written on their faces.

In the first game, they suffered bloody abuse from the Spurs, and the next few games will definitely not be easy.

Although Lin Tian actively got up and gave each other high-fives to encourage each other, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He didn't even feel that way in the game where he was brutally abused by the Thunder.

Compared with the youthful Thunder, the Spurs are terribly calm, which is also an important reason why they were able to win this game.

After Lin Tian returned to the locker room, Nick Yang, who was good at observing words and expressions, was also very sensible and did not speak.

His performance today was also relatively poor, and he only made one three-pointer.

The embarrassing atmosphere didn't last too long. Scott came to the locker room and poured some chicken soup for the players, saying that this was only the first game and the players hadn't adapted to the Spurs' home atmosphere.

The players themselves know that only Lin Tian and Howard have the advantage in the five positions where the Lakers and the Spurs are facing each other.

The advantages of these two positions can sometimes even be said to be intermittent.

Because Leonard, who was facing Lin Tian, ​​also scored 25 points in a satisfactory manner today.

Duncan even gave Howard two big hot pots.

After taking a shower, Lin Tian, ​​Kobe and Howard attended the post-match press conference as usual.

Penguin Sports Live.

Even though it has come to the post-match interview session, the popularity of the live broadcast room has not dropped much.

Chinese fans who watched the live broadcast also wanted to hear an interview about Lin Tian.

Lin Tian, ​​who has already participated in many post-match post-match meetings, is having a hard time being happy in the face of tricky questions from the reporters today.

After answering the questions from the first two reporters, the third reporter asked: "Lin! Although you have been hitting the basket non-stop today, you only got three free throws in the game, and 2+1 of them. Do you think the referee is unfair about this?"

Howard, who was sitting next to Lin Tian, ​​frowned instinctively when he heard this question.

This is a reporter obviously looking for trouble!

Who knows that Lin Tianxia said without hesitation in a second: "Yes! I don't know what the referee's penalty standard is, but today's penalty is very unfavorable to us! If you read the data sheet, I believe you will be surprised! The opponent made a total of 23 free throws today! And we only got 11 free throw opportunities in the game, which is really unbelievable! Do you know? My face is still red now!"

Lin Tian said, showing half of his face reddened by Danny Green to the camera. "

Whoa!

The media room fell silent!
Many reporters showed rather shocked expressions.

The reporters who were able to come here to interview the Lakers players were all veterans. They knew very well that when Lin Tian said these words, the league's ticket was already on the way.

The reporter who asked the question sat down complacently.

Being able to let a player speak his mind also means that he is capable, which is why reporters always ask heart-pounding questions.

And the Chinese fans who were watching the live broadcast also started discussing in full swing.

"Look at Lin Tian's irritable character! He is indeed my favorite player, haha!"

"If you don't whistle, you won't be black. Today's whistleblowing is indeed a big problem. The home whistle is too obvious. Everyone is not a fool!"

"Lin Tian's slap was too bad! Not only did he not get a foul, but now he has to get a ticket from the league."

"If you say a word, you will lose at least 1 dollars! Is this the unpretentious life of the rich?"

"Hey! Even though we have passed the level of the Thunder, now we have to face the Spurs. The group the Lakers are in is really the group of death!"

"Facing the Spurs is better than playing the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals. The Lakers have not been optimistic from the beginning to the present, and it has not been easy."

……

"Lin, if you openly question the referee like this, you will get a ticket early tomorrow morning!"

Walking out of the AT&T Center Arena, Howard said to Lin Tian.

Before Lin Tian could speak, Kobe was the first to speak: "I'll help Lin pay the fine."

"No need." Lin Tian shook his head, "Thank you, Kobe, I'll pay the fine myself, it's considered a charity."

The fines the NBA receives from players every season will be used for public welfare, and the expenditure details will be announced, which everyone knows.

Kobe, who was used to paying fines for his young teammates, saw that Lin Tian was so persistent, so he no longer persisted.

Instead, Howard said suddenly: "I knew that during the press conference, I would also scold the referee to vent my anger."

"Dwight, if you are fined, you should pay for it honestly."

"Why? Kobe! You treat it differently!"

"Because you're not a rookie."

……

After returning to the hotel, Kobe asked Nick Young, Howard, Clarkson and others not to go out to play anymore, and everyone naturally agreed.

After Lin Tian returned to his room, he didn't read the news as usual, but fell asleep and went back to sleep.

At 15000 o'clock the next morning, when all the Lakers players were eating at the hotel, Nick Young, who was swiping his phone, suddenly said to Lin Tian: "Lin! You were fined $[-] by the league! They said you made inappropriate remarks against referees after the game yesterday."

"Oh." Lin Tian replied lightly, not taking this matter to heart at all.

Howard also raised his head and said: "I would be surprised if the league didn't fine Lin, but it's good, at least it creates a lot of pressure on these referees."

After breakfast, the players walked into the AT&T Center arena without a long rest.

The morning is mainly free to do physical training and fitness.

Lin Tian spent an hour exercising in the gym.

When he finished his fitness and walked to the court, he found Howard had been practicing shooting three-pointers at the top of the arc, and chatting with the team's three-point coach from time to time.

The Lakers not only have a three-point coach, but also a free throw coach and a defensive coach.

As one of the deepest giants in the NBA, a luxurious coaching team is a must.

It is a good thing to communicate with the coach, but Lin Tian felt a headache when he saw this scene.

Howard, a player who can't even make free throws, doesn't know what to think, but he always thinks about shooting three-pointers.

In fact, since Howard came to the Lakers, he often shoots three-pointers during training.

His three-point shooting percentage in practice is also really high.

But training is training, and actual combat is actual combat. These are two completely different concepts.

Scott also noticed this, walked up to Howard and said, "Dwight! You'd better practice free throws."

Howard raised his hands: "Coach, why don't you believe me! Now I really have a three-point threat! Just like Channing Frye, if you don't believe it, you can ask Channing to compare with me!"

Seeing Howard was so persistent, Scott had no choice but to wave to Channing Frye.

Channing Frye, who was shooting a three-pointer, came over dumbfounded: "Coach, you don't really want me to compete with him for three-pointers, do you?"

"The two of you shoot 10 three-pointers at fixed points and see who scores more goals. Dwight, if you win Channing, I will give you a three-pointer in the next game."

"No problem!" Howard agreed immediately.

Seeing this, other Lakers players who were training also gathered around.

Everyone was curious, only Kobe had a livid face: "What is Dwight going to do?"

He definitely doesn't agree with Howard shooting three-pointers on the court, which in his opinion will hurt the team.

Instead, Lin Tian spoke to Howard: "Dwight has indeed been practicing three-pointers during this time. If he develops the three-pointer ability! The threat to the Spurs will be greatly improved, and our interior space will also become very large. Kobe, your former teammate Trevor Ariza, didn't he have the ability to shoot three-pointers in the first few seasons of his career? Now he is the most important 3D player for the Rockets."

"Trevor is different from Dwight." What else did Kobe have to say, the three-point competition between Howard and Channing Frye has begun.

Channing Frye took the lead in shooting. Standing on the wing, he made 9 consecutive three-pointers, only the last shot came out of the frame.

He hit 90 percent of his [-]-pointers when he was unguarded.

The most exaggerated thing is that Channing Frye is a big man of 2.11 meters!
It's hard to find a taller three-point shooter in the entire NBA.

Howard's height is exactly the same as Channing Frye. He was not intimidated by Channing Frye, and he started shooting three-pointers with the ball.

The five three-pointers made earlier were all thrown into the basket by Howard!

But his sixth [-]-pointer went off the hook.

Of the remaining four goals, Howard scored two more.

His undefended three-point shooting rate is 70%, which is already very strong among big centers.

But Howard still lost. In terms of shooting three-pointers, he cannot be Channing Frye's opponent.

Kobe walked up to Howard and patted him on the shoulder: "Dwight, you should practice your free throws with peace of mind. Accurate free throws are more important than accurate three-pointers."

Howard smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he couldn't say anything more, he was a person who was willing to bet and admit defeat.

Only Lin Tian silently wrote down this matter.

In the group confrontation in the afternoon, the Lakers focused on increasing the pick-and-roll training.

In the G1 game against the Spurs, Nick Young played a pick-and-roll for Lin Tian, ​​which caused Lin Tian to misplace Tony Parker.

This offensive method once caused a lot of trouble for the Spurs.

But it is not easy to complete a beautiful pick and roll.

The player responsible for assisting the pick-and-roll must have a good sense, and must have a tacit understanding with the ball-handling player, and the position of the pick-and-roll must also be just right.

Because the pick-and-roll seems to be worthless, in fact, the risk is not small, and it is easy to be called an illegal cover.

For example, the player in charge of the pick-and-roll must be in the opponent's field of vision after taking a good position, and must also leave space for the opponent.

In yesterday's game, after Nick Yang helped Lin Tian successfully hit a few pick-and-rolls, he was blown off a mobile screen.

If you want to cooperate more perfectly, training is essential.

After a day of training, Lin Tian was already exhausted.

When he returned to the hotel after dinner, the first thing he did was to take a shower.

After taking a comfortable bath, Lin Tian couldn't wait to turn on the TV to watch tonight's game.

This game is the Warriors against the Trail Blazers.

The Blazers had already lost one game before.

The Trail Blazers led by Lillard, today's offensive firepower is extremely fierce.

They have led the Warriors through the first two quarters.

It wasn't until the Warriors started to exert their strength in the third quarter that the Blazers were completely unable to stop the Warriors' ferocious firepower.

In the end, the Warriors beat the Trail Blazers 125:105, rewriting the big score to 2:0.

After watching the game, Lin Tian turned to the sports news again.

As he expected, the fact that he was fined by the league made the news, and there were also some hot news that made him laugh and cry.

[Lakers player Lin was fined $15000 by the league for questioning the referee's penalty at the press conference. 】

[The Lakers G1 fiasco!Lin scored 50+ points again and the team lost miserably! 】

[A new round of score predictions is out, most basketball practitioners are optimistic about the Spurs advancing to the Western Conference Finals. 】

[Old man, with aspirations for thousands of miles!Replay the two blood caps that Tim Duncan gave Howard in slow motion!Stone Buddha's dream is back to the top! 】

[Rational discussion, does Duncan hope to add another championship at the end of his career? 】

……

Three o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

It's the last day of the week at the Spurs' home arena.

Today's home arena is still very lively, and the fans are even crazier than G1.

After all, the Spurs have already won their first victory at home.

When the Lakers players showed up in the arena, they were greeted with boos.

These fans will not show mercy just because this season is Kobe's retirement season.

Although Kobe didn't have much grievances with the Spurs in his peak period, but when it comes to the playoffs, the opponent is the enemy.

The NBA announced the list of referees yesterday, and today's referee has finally changed. It is the famous NBA post Joey Crawford.

The whistle-blowing scale of the playoffs is very different from that of the regular season. Many referees who whistled the regular season were even unable to whistle the playoffs because of insufficient qualifications.

The Lakers played the Spurs in G1, and the referee has only whistled 10 playoff games in his career, which can be called a rookie.

And today's bald referee, Joey Crawford, has whistled more than 300 playoff games, including 50 finals games.

Among the many referees in the NBA, he can be regarded as a living fossil level, and his whistleblowing is also recognized as stern and selfless.

When Lin Tian saw Joey Crawford, he walked over to greet him, which is the minimum respect.

Joey Crawford just glanced at Lin Tian coldly: "Don't think of me as your savior! I will only be responsible for fair whistleblowing!"

Obviously, what happened between the Lakers and the Spurs in G1, Joey Crawford is also very clear.

Lin Tian smiled and nodded: "I just want to be fair."

After the warm-up before the game is over and the preparations are complete, G2 between the Spurs and the Lakers officially started.

Today's starting lineups on both sides did not change. The Lakers grabbed the jump ball and Lin Tian made a three-pointer at the beginning.
