NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 232 Tucker's sixth offense, fatal steal!
The timeout ended quickly, and when Lin Tian and the others returned to the court, there were only 3 minutes left before the end of the game.

The score of the two sides at this time is 84:84.

From G1 to G3, this was the most intense game between the two sides, and there was still suspense until the last few minutes.

The short break was not enough for them, and the players were still sweating.

The Spurs serve and Tony Parker holds the ball.

Nick Young followed Tony Parker closely, for fear that he would be passed by Tony Parker with a clone of himself.

Tony Parker stood at the top of the arc and glanced at Danny Green not far away.

Danny Green understood and rushed over to play a pick-and-roll for Tony Parker.

Kobe's reaction was half a beat slow, and he didn't have time to defend the pick-and-roll.

Seizing the opportunity Danny Green gave him on the pick-and-roll, Tony Parker quickly got rid of Kobe's defense.

Seeing this, Lin Tian quickly returned to the inside line to help defend.

His outstretched arms frightened Tony Parker, and he passed the ball directly to Leonard.

Such a good offensive opportunity was given up only because he was afraid of Lin Tian's defense.

Lin Tian also didn't expect that Parker would pass the ball to Leonard.

After Leonard received the ball, he directly made a shooting action.

The distance between Lin Tian and Leonard is too far, and there is no time to defend.

In a hurry, he could only take off from a long distance, just to interfere with the opponent's shooting as much as possible.

Who knew that Leonard just feinted a shot, and he suddenly took the ball and broke through.

Lin Tian, ​​who had already taken off, had no choice but to watch the opponent go inside to kill.

It was too late for Howard to make up the defense, and he was blocked by Duncan.

Tucker on the weak side gritted his teeth and decided to rush forward to make up for the defense.

Facing Leonard, Tucker took off in the penalty area.

He forced a shot of Leonard's arm in the air.

Beep!

The referee immediately blew his whistle and gave Tucker a defensive foul.

Although Leonard did not score this time, Tucker ushered in his six fouls in this game.

After Tucker landed, he put his head in his hands and looked at the referee in disbelief.

The referee just shook his head mercilessly. It is obviously impossible to change the foul this time.

The entire arena also booed neatly, and the fans were obviously extremely dissatisfied with the referee's penalty this time.

Lin Tian also sighed, walked up to Tucker silently, patted Tucker on the shoulder and said, "PJ! You have done a great job, leave the rest to us!"

Kobe also stepped forward to comfort Tucker.

When Tucker left the field, the home fans gave him applause without hesitation.

They knew very well that Tucker's performance in this game was already considered good, but he was only troubled by fouls.

On the Lakers bench, Channing Frye also took off his warm-up suit and trotted the field.

He rarely plays at the most critical moment, unless it is the Lakers' offensive round.

Because there is a big gap between Channing Frye's defensive ability and Tucker.

Tucker even defends a big man like Aldridge better than Frye.

After the two sides established positions on both sides of the paint area, Leonard began to make free throws.

Without any surprises, Leonard made two free throws.

The score became 86:84, and the Lakers fell behind by two points.

After Howard picked up the ball, he passed it to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian dribbled the ball over the logo on the floor without haste.

Under Scott's loud signal, the players on the Lakers side quickly settled down one by one.

Among them, Nick Young and Channing Frye stood in the bottom corners on both sides.

Howard stood near the paint and Kobe stood in silhouette ready to respond.

Danny Green was hesitating whether to double-team Lin Tian at this time, and Howard had already run out from the inside.

He made a standard pick-and-roll action in front of Lin Tian.

Lin Tian hurriedly passed by Howard, using Howard's body to block Leonard.

It was Duncan who was running towards him, but facing Duncan and Lin Tian, ​​he didn't panic at all, and easily passed the opponent with a change of direction.

He went inside, jumped high and dunked directly.

boom!
This explosive dunk also ignited the emotions of the home fans.

All the home fans cheered and jumped up.

DJ also shouted: "With the help of Howard's pick-and-roll, Lin went inside to complete the dunk!!"

Howard was so excited that he bumped into Lin Tian's shoulders. The linkage between him and Lin Tian has always been good.

The reason why the two rarely pick and roll is mainly because there are not many opportunities.

Without too much slack, he simply celebrated, and Lin Tian quickly returned to defense.

Tony Parker handed the ball over to Leonard early on after the Spurs made the serve.

Leonard looked up at the time, and there were a little over 2 minutes left.

In the first two rounds, both sides almost ran out of attack time.

So Leonard is not in a hurry for the Spurs' offense this round.

While defending Leonard, Lin Tian yelled for other teammates to follow closely.

With 8 seconds left on the offensive clock, Danny Green suddenly ran over to play a pick-and-roll for Leonard.

Through Danny Green's pick-and-roll, Leonard temporarily got rid of Lin Tian.

The Lakers turned into Kobe defending Leonard, and Leonard resolutely chose to break through.

This time he still chose to go left.

Although Kobe defended desperately, he was still a little short in the end and failed to keep up with Leonard.

Channing Frye, who came to help defend, raised his hands early on to interfere with Leonard.

However, Leonard, who has a super offensive ability, chose to pick the basket and succeeded.

The Spurs led the Lakers by two points.

After returning to the Lakers halftime, the Spurs obviously became a lot more vigilant.

When the offensive time was about to end, Lin Tian shot a rather hasty three-pointer against Leonard.

It's a pity that the ball was shot crookedly.

But then Leonard also missed a long two-pointer under Lin Tian's defense.

Between back and forth, the game time is only 50 seconds left.

The Lakers have the ball, Lin Tian has the ball.

Many fans at the scene stood up and applauded Lin Tian.

With the score behind, Lin Tian didn't dare to waste too much time.

He raised his hand towards Nick Young, and Nick Young rushed over to run a pick-and-roll for him.

After the pick-and-roll was completed, Lin Tian faced Tony Parker.

He didn't use speed to get rid of Tony Parker, but hit Tony Parker with his back, digging inside step by step.

The Spurs' inside twin towers are also hesitant at this time. They are worried that Lin Tian will suddenly turn around and attack the inside, and they are afraid of Channing Frye on the outside.

as expected!When he was about to reach the inner line, Lin Tian turned around.

Duncan and Aldridge almost subconsciously gave up their defenders and rushed towards Lin Tian.

Lin Tian had great confidence in shooting the ball at this time, but he still chose to pass the ball to Frye in the corner.

Frye gets the ball and it's a wide open.

He adjusted his breathing, aimed at the basket and shot decisively.

Swish!
Three points scored!

The score became 89:88, and the Lakers led by one point!There are 30 seconds left in the game.

Almost all Lakers fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's so exciting! Channing Frye's three-pointer is still amazing! He is indeed one of the big men who can shoot three-pointers!"

"Facts have proved that it is worthwhile for us to spend so much effort to trade Channing Frye."

"This is a valuable three-pointer! Aldridge will never dare to let go of Channing Frye!"

Popovich did not call a timeout, but let the game continue.

In 30 seconds, only two rounds of attacks can be supported.

After Tony Parker dribbled the ball to the Spurs at halftime, under Popovich's yelling, he chose to delay time.

In this attack, they can only score and not miss, otherwise it will be very difficult to win.

Under the leadership of the DJ, the fans chanted the slogan "defence" neatly.

The Lakers players who did not appear on the court have all stood up and looked nervously at the players on the court.

Even Xiaoxue, who was sitting in the media booth, stood up involuntarily.

The clock ticked, and with 10 seconds left on the shot clock, Tony Parker handed the ball to Leonard.

The moment Leonard took the ball, Tony Parker suddenly ran towards Leonard.

This time it is not Danny Green, but Tony Parker who is going to play the pick and roll for Leonard.

They're also well aware that always finding one teammate to run the pick-and-roll doesn't work.

The Lakers have long expected it!Lin Tian yelled at Nick Young: "I'm coming!"

After the words fell, he forced his way past Tony Parker and barely kept up with Leonard.

Nick Young also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. If he is allowed to guard Leonard, it will be a huge challenge for him.

If Lin Tian defends, the situation is very different.

Leonard's misplacement of hitting Nick Young failed, and he couldn't help frowning.

He looked up at the time again, and there were three seconds left on the shot clock.

In desperation, he could only face Lin Tian and directly choose to go left.

Lin Tian has already figured out Leonard's breakthrough habit.

At the moment when the opponent leaned forward and broke through to the left, Lin Tian suddenly stretched out his right hand and swept forward!
With this sweep, the ball was directly swept away, and Nick Young picked it up.

Oh! !

The audience remembered the shock and cheers of the audience.

No one expected that at this most critical moment, Lin Tian actually completed a steal on Leonard!
This kind of time period completed the steal, which is simply fatal for the Spurs!

After Nick Yang picked up the ball, he passed it to Lin Tian without thinking.

Lin Tian wanted to control the field first, but Leonard knew that there was not much time left for them. He tentatively wanted to steal Lin Tian, ​​and after it didn't work, he hugged Lin Tian directly.

Beep!

The referee hurriedly called Leonard a foul.

In this way, there are 5 seconds left in the game, and with the Lakers leading by 1 point, Lin Tian will stand on the free throw line and make two free throws. The balance of victory has been tilted towards the Lakers to a large extent.

But when Lin Tian was about to make a free throw, the Spurs called a timeout.

Leonard sat back on the Spurs bench with a livid face.

Popovich wanted to swear, but eventually held back.

In his plan, that ball wasn't supposed to be played that way.

Because of the Spurs' offensive system, the point guard dominates the offense most of the time.

Although Leonard's offense has evolved in recent seasons, he more often serves as the team's end point.

On the Lakers bench, the players were extremely excited.

Nick Young patted Lin on the shoulder: "Lin! Your steal just now was so cool!"

Lin Tian didn't have time to talk to him, but just looked at Scott, who was already arranging the next tactics at this time.

After a while, the timeout ended and the players returned to the court.

Lin Tian stood on the free throw line under the signal of the referee.

The huge Staples Center was extremely quiet, and the fans didn't even dare to make too much noise for fear of disturbing Lin Tian's free throw.

After receiving the first ball, Lin Tian patted the ball twice, turned the ball around twice in his hand, and threw it directly.

Swish!
The moment the first goal was scored, the fans cheered as if to vent.

Soon, he will start the second free throw.

Before the ball is shot, the inside players standing on both sides of the three-second zone are already blocking each other.

After finishing the preparatory action, the second ball was thrown.

Swish!
Still in!The score became 91:88!

Two free throws were made, which dealt a big blow to the Spurs.

The Spurs did not serve, but called a timeout.

The timeout just now was mainly to prevent Lin Tian from calling for free throws, so the Spurs would be in a better situation, and they might be able to play a fast break.

Now that Lin Tian made both free throws, the Spurs could only call a timeout to rearrange their tactics.

They could only shoot a three-pointer for the next ball.

The Lakers, who occupy the absolute initiative, dare not slack off at this time.

Scott repeated repeatedly: "If possible, let them score two points! Be sure to defend three points! Don't let them have the opportunity to easily shoot three points!"

All the players nodded.

The timeout of more than 10 seconds ended quickly, and when the players came on the court, they all stood in the Spurs' half.

Popovich didn't send Duncan on the court again, and the players on the court, except for Aldridge, could shoot three-pointers.

Among them, Manu Ginobili and Mills are back.

Their purpose is very simple, is to shoot three-pointers!If you make an overtime shot, bye bye if you don’t make it.

Mills served from the sidelines, and he sent the ball to Ginobili.

Bryant pulled out all the stops to prevent the death of Ginobili.

The timer above the backboard is already counting down.

Ginobili had almost no shot space. Seeing that Aldridge inside could catch the ball, he passed it to the opponent.

After Aldridge received the ball, he was completely open, and Howard didn't even mean to guard him.

This also made Aldridge feel mixed.

He gave up the two points that must be scored this time and wanted to pass the ball to Leonard.

But in this final stage, Lin Tian took out his strongest defense and directly blocked Aldridge's passing route, leaving Leonard without any chance to catch the ball.

In desperation, Aldridge could only pass the ball to Danny Green.

At this time, Channing Frye was defending Danny Green.

Seeing that none of his teammates had a chance to catch the ball, Danny Green could only grit his teeth and choose to shoot.

hum...

The ball had just been thrown, and a circle of red lights was already on the backboard.
