NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 237 Let's bring the game back to Los Angeles!

From G1 to G5, Lin Tian took the initiative to ask to defend Aldridge.

Lin Tian has watched many Aldridge games, including Aldridge's game video in the Trail Blazers.

In the years when Aldridge first entered the league, Huang Mambaroy used to be teammates with him.

It's a pity that due to injuries, the Blazers fell in the first round several times.

After Roy faded out of the league, Aldridge took over, but still failed to lead the team to achieve outstanding results.

Until he left the Trail Blazers last year, he had only one goal when he joined the Spurs, and that was the championship.

Ade, who spent the peak of his career in the Trail Blazers, is 31 years old this year.

He has always claimed to be an inside shooter, which is not without reason.

At this time, Lin Tian had already come to face Ade on his own initiative, and Aldridge smiled instead.

He is 40 catties heavier than Lin Tian, ​​and he is also a few centimeters taller than Lin Tian.

He is best at playing players of this size.

The Spurs served, and Aldridge took a position on the weak side ahead of time, and reached out to Ginobili for the ball.

Ginobili also didn't stick to the ball and passed the ball to Aldridge.

Aldridge caught the ball with both hands and pushed Lin Tian with his back.

Lin Tian also felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and he didn't dare to relax.

Suddenly, Aldridge moved!

He dribbled the ball and turned around, then turned back suddenly, that skillful dribbling almost fooled Lin Tian.

When facing the frame again, Aldridge received the ball and was about to shoot.

In such a deep position jump shot, Adelaide's career hit rate is more than 70%!

But he never expected that when he was about to collect the ball and was about to make a shooting action, Lin Tian suddenly stretched out a hand and snatched the ball from him abruptly!
The speed of this steal is so fast that Aldridge hasn't recovered yet.

After Lin Tian made the steal, he strode towards the frontcourt of the Lakers!
Not to mention Aldridge, even Spurs guard Manu Ginobili couldn't keep up with Lin Tian's footsteps.

He completed the counterattack with a layup.

Kobe off the court saw Lin Tian's one-stop attack, smiled knowingly, and said to Howard sitting next to him: "Look! Lin is going to lead the team to counterattack!"

The Spurs dribbled over, and Lin Tian was still standing on the wing.

He didn't interfere with Aldridge asking for the ball, he just planned to guard the inside line with Channing Frye.

Ginobili unbelievably passed the ball to Aldridge again.

Aldridge didn't dare to waste any more time this time. He hit Lin Tian with his back twice, trying to push Lin Tian to the top to create shooting space for himself.

But Lin Tian's foot was very stable, which made him frown.

This rookie's confrontation ability is not weaker than pj Tucker at all!However, his speed is even faster than Tucker!Then how to fight?
Finally knowing that Lin Tian was a stubble, Aldridge had no choice but to turn around and hit a jumper.

Lin Tian jumped three feet high. Although he didn't block the shot, it really shocked Aldridge.

Bang!

The basketball rebounded, and Lin Tianxian grabbed the rebound from Duncan in one step. After advancing to the frontcourt, he made a three-pointer against David West.

Swish!
The basketball slid into the net, and sighs came from the scene.

Aldridge was blocked in one and missed in the other, reducing the score by 5 points in a short period of time.

Self-blame was written on his face, so that after returning to the Spurs frontcourt, it was difficult for him to ask for a position.

Popovich naturally noticed the change in Aldridge's expression.

He knows that Aldridge is a player with strong self-esteem. Usually, when he performs well, he will be more active, and when he performs poorly, he will often blame himself to the point of embarrassment before asking for the ball.

Under the leadership of Lin Tian, ​​the Lakers quickly narrowed the score, and the Spurs didn't mean to call a timeout.

Howard, who was sitting on the bench, said with emotion: "I think this guy Lin should stay in the interior! He is a great defensive threat in the interior!"

Kobe turned his head and asked, "How big is it?"

"Let me tell you this, Kobe, if Lin puts all his energy on defense, he will easily get dpoy! I have won that trophy before! But I will never get it in my life. Lin has a great chance to get it!"

Kobe smiled and said nothing, of course he knew Howard was not joking.

Looking back on the court again, the Lakers successfully defended a ball from the Spurs, and Clarkson made a three-pointer.

With this three-pointer scored, the point difference between the two teams is only 5 points left.

The arena has also become a lot quieter.

Under normal circumstances, only when the morale of the home team is low, the home arena will be extra quiet.

The Spurs had no choice but to call a timeout.

When Lin Tian returned to the bench, Howard took the initiative to give up his seat for him, and handed him a cushion by the way, which made Lin Tian dumbfounded, but he readily accepted it.

The Spurs had completely lost momentum. Lin Tian called all his teammates over and shouted excitedly: "Guys! Now we have a chance to send the Spurs away in person! If we miss this opportunity today, it will be difficult for us to have a better chance to beat the Spurs! There is only one spot left in the Western Conference finals! And this spot can only be given to us! Everyone cheer up! Let's end this round of the series!"

As he spoke, he put his right hand flat in front of him.

Kobe was the first to put his hand up, followed by Howard, Nick Young, Nance Jr., Tucker...

"Lakes go go go!!"

The timeout ended, and both the Lakers and Spurs sent out their strongest lineups.

Among them, Duncan is still on the court.

No way, Popovich trusts Duncan the most.

In the battle of life and death, he dared not put Duncan down at all.

Lin Tian paid more attention to the Spurs in his previous life. The backbone of the Spurs is considered to be Popovich.

But in his opinion, the reason why the Spurs have been so strong for so many years is not their head coach, but their team soul Tim Duncan.

When Tim Duncan retires, the Spurs will decline.

The two sides began a positional battle in the last few minutes.

Lin Tian played the fourth position to defend Aldridge, and Tucker played the third position to defend Leonard.

Leonard showed his super offensive ability, scoring two points against Tucker at the beginning of the game.

After Lin Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, it was Leonard who defended him.

Leonard bent slightly, opened his hands, and made the most standard defensive posture.

Lin Tian held the ball, suddenly used a crossover, shook Leonard, and directly hit the inside line.

Duncan and Aldridge quickly rushed over to defend.

Before they rushed forward, Lin Tian had already thrown the ball towards the basket.

Howard rose to the ground, caught the ball in the air, and smashed it hard into the basket.

The arena, which was a little restless, became quiet again after this dunk.

Next, Scott discovered the benefits of Lin Tian playing the fourth position.

His lateral movement is faster than both Tucker and Channing Frye.

Even in the position on the weak side, seeing the breakthrough of the Spurs players, they can quickly rush to the penalty area to help defend and supplement defense.

And Aldridge, who was facing him, did not dare to ask for the ball easily.

And the most important rebound.

Although Lin Tian is the shortest among the four insiders, his bounce is the best.

In the process of fighting for rebounds with Aldridge and Duncan, Lin Tian not only did not fall behind, but was always able to grab key rebounds.

Of course, there is a big reason for this. Duncan is old and has played for so long before, and his physical strength is obviously insufficient.

On the offensive end, Lin Tian reduced his possession of the ball and let Kobe organize it while he squeezed inside.

In this case, Kobe and his teammates can't make a shot, and Lin Tian still has a good chance to grab a rebound.

The score was tied by the Lakers within 2 minutes.

In the whole game, there were only the last 2 minutes left.

……

Oracle Arena, team multimedia conference room.

Even though it was already ten o'clock in the evening, all the players of the Warriors were sitting in the meeting room, watching the game on the big screen attentively.

What they are watching is the ongoing G5 battle between the Lakers and the Spurs.

It was not Steve Kerr who organized everyone to watch this live broadcast tonight, but Dreaming Green.

Witnessing Lin Tian on the screen grabbing a rebound unscrupulously above the heads of Duncan and Aldridge, almost all the Warriors players were secretly frightened.

Chasing Dream Green, who was sitting at the front, crossed his legs and said angrily: "Damn it! Are Tim and LaMarcus just a show? Two players with a height of 2.11 meters can't grab a rebound but a small forward! It's a big joke!"

As a member of the Warriors, Chasing Dream Green doesn't care much about who their opponents are in the Western Conference Finals.

But he hopes that the Spurs can play a few more games with the Lakers, so that the opponents will be more tired and they will have more rest time.

Iguodala spread his hands: "Come on! You don't look at Tim Duncan's playing time, he has played almost 40 minutes today! God!"

Curry couldn't help feeling emotional: "Unbelievable! The Lakers are so strong, Klay, don't you say a few words?"

As he spoke, he set his sights on Klay Thompson, who was playing with his mobile phone next to him.

Klay Thompson is the Warriors player who cares the least about winning or losing this game.

If it weren't for Green's organization, he wouldn't have come to watch the live broadcast at all. Wouldn't it be good to walk the dog at home?

Facing Curry's question, Thompson didn't even raise his eyelids: "What do you want me to say? Who can win? I hope the Lakers win this game quickly. In this case, the schedule for the Western Conference Finals will be set tonight, and we don't have to wait so boringly for them."

His words made other Warriors players dumbfounded.

Thompson's character, the Warriors players have already experienced it.

……

Spurs home arena.

After a brief timeout, the double-serve began the final 2-minute competition.

So far in the game, the fight is not only about physical strength, but also the willpower of the players on both sides.

The Spurs served from the sideline, Leonard received a pass from Tony Parker, and after the offensive time was almost exhausted, he rushed directly to the inside from the top of the arc.

Lin Tian immediately turned from the weak side to the inside line and greeted Leonard with a pair of long arms.

Leonard did not choose to force Lin Tian, ​​but passed a rather spiritual pass to Duncan.

By the time Howard reacted, it was already a step too late. Duncan shot under the basket and easily hit the shot.

Realizing he wasn't focused enough, Howard shook his head in frustration, but soon picked up the ball and served again.

Lin Tian dribbled the ball across the half court. He was not in a hurry to attack, but carefully observed the Spurs' positions.

Danny Green didn't dare to rush over to flank easily, because Kobe had already run to the bottom corner.

Aldridge was also drawn to the other corner by Tucker.

There are only Howard and Duncan inside.

In order to avoid the defensive three seconds, Duncan put one foot in the penalty area and the other foot outside the penalty area.

For Lin Tian, ​​a chance to single Leonard is in front of him.

He didn't attack, and Leonard didn't dare to come over and steal the ball easily.

"Defence! Defense! Defense..."

The familiar voice sounded again, and Lin Tian raised his head slightly to glance at the timer.

With seven seconds left on the shot clock, Tony Parker rushed over off guard.

Lin Tian played the ball decisively and passed it to Nick Young.

After Nick Young received the ball, he adjusted his angle before shooting.

Bang!

The basketball hit the rim and bounced high.

Seeing this, Howard hurriedly blocked each other with Duncan, just to occupy a better position for receiving the ball.

But the Spurs are the defensive side after all, and Duncan has rich experience, so he was not squeezed away by Howard.

Seeing that the ball was about to fall, the two jumped at the same time and grabbed this crucial rebound.

When Duncan's hand was about to touch the ball, a figure rushed out from halfway, and unexpectedly snatched the ball from above Duncan's head!
Lin Tian grabbed the ball with one hand in the air, and then slammed the ball into the basket, completing a one-handed dunk!

boom!
This stunning slash button instantly silenced the entire audience.

After a brief immersion, many Spurs fans couldn't help shaking their heads.

This person from the Celestial Dynasty flying into the sky and escaping from the earth is too scary!

The two sides have returned to the starting line again, the difference is that time is running out.

After Tony Parker dribbled the ball across halftime again, there was less than 1 minute left in the game.

After he held the ball and pretended to burst, he suddenly distributed the ball to Danny Green on the wing.

Kobe was completely blocked in front of Danny Green, so that the opponent had no chance to shoot.

The helpless Danny Green could only pass the ball to Leonard again.

Leonard took the ball, shook PJ Tucker, and shot a three-pointer directly and resolutely.

Swish!
Three points scored!The whole arena is boiling up!

At this time, with only 48 seconds left in the game, the Spurs led the Lakers by three points 100:97.

Scott called a timeout.

As Leonard walked to the bench, the Spurs players walked up to give him high fives.

Leonard, who was called facial paralysis by many people, also showed a fierce expression at this time, like a calm killer.

Popovich touched Leonard's head fondly: "Kawaii! You did a good job! I said you are the best player in this league!"

Duncan, who doesn't like directing his teammates very much, also said: "Guys! Come on! Let's bring the game back to Los Angeles! Go spurs go!"
