NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 249 The Five Little Ones Die Hard!

Thompson also ran to Green with a depressed face and said, "Draymond! Let's guard against this rookie together!"

In his opinion, his defense against Lin Tian is better than Green's.

Green hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. Although he was grumpy, he did not lose his mind.

After Curry held the ball for halftime, Bogut took Howard out from the inside.

This time Curry still wanted to find Howard to play singles, but Lin Tian blocked his way forward in advance.

Instead of choosing to break through Lin Tian forcefully, Curry casually made a back pass and passed the ball to Green's hands.

Against Tucker's defense, Green made a direct three-pointer.

Swish!Three-point hollow hit!

After the ball was shot, Green roared at Tucker, with a smug smile on his face.

In Lin Tian's previous life, whether it was the 19-20 season or the 20-21 season, Green lost his three-point shooting skills package, and his three-point shooting percentage was less than 30%.

But in the regular season this season, Green's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 38.8%!

With such a hit rate, it is not an exaggeration to be called a top shooter.

If nothing else, this season will probably be the most accurate three-point season in Green's career.

This season, no one dared to let Green go. His three-pointers are not a small threat.

Even so, Green's three-pointer still lowered the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage.

Their team, the regular season three-point shooting rate is as high as 41.6%...

Lin Tian took the ball to organize the offense, Green no longer defended Lin Tian alone, he and Thompson double-teamed.

The speed of the two was extremely fast, and their double-teaming was unreasonable, and Lin Tian was not given time to think.

Fortunately, Lin Tian has already experienced the beating of several double-teams these days, and knows how to deal with the ball when facing double-teams.

He passed the ball to Kobe before he was completely blocked by the two.

Thompson had no choice but to pounce on Kobe, and when he rushed in front of Kobe, Kobe had already made a three-pointer.

This open three-pointer was grasped by Kobe and made a steady shot.

After scoring the goal, he smiled at Thompson: "You guys continue to double-team him! I will make 10 three-pointers!"

Next, the Warriors still did not dare to defend Lin Tian at all.

In addition to double-teaming Lin Tian, ​​they also placed the most important defense near the free throw line.

This kind of defensive method is also destined to relax their defense against other players on the outside of the Lakers.

Lin Tian, ​​who was double-teamed, did not forget his teammates, making Kobe hit three-pointers one after another.

Nick Young and Tucker also got the chance to shoot a three-pointer, and they both seized it.

Throughout the first half, Lin Tian did more to help his teammates score.

Even though Kobe and the others always scored goals, the Warriors still didn't dare to allow one person to guard against Lin Tian, ​​because Lin Tian was far more threatening to them than anyone else.

Compared with the super high three-point shooting percentage of the Lakers, the Warriors' shooting percentage dropped a little today.

Lin Tian mainly defended Curry, which made Curry extremely uncomfortable, and there were not many opportunities to make shots.

In this way, the Lakers came to the second half with a 10-point advantage.

There was a big change in the Warriors' style of play in the second half.

They began to focus on defending the perimeter. After all, the Lakers made more than 50% of their three-pointers in the first half. If the Lakers continue to shoot three-pointers, just three-pointers can kill them.

Observing the changes in the Warriors' defensive strategy, Lin Tian learned his lesson and began to feed Howard inside.

Although Howard is no longer at his peak, there is still no big problem for him to force Bogut.

Although Bogut is younger than Howard and is only 31 years old this year, he is actually just a fake starter who has been affected by injuries.

He averaged just over 5 points and 7 rebounds per game this season, but averaged 3.2 fouls and 1.2 turnovers per game.

There are only three people in the entire league who foul more than Bogut, namely Cousins, Covington and Beverly.

It can be said that the three-year 2013 million contract Bogut signed with the Warriors in 3 is obviously not worth it.

And this will be the biggest contract of Bogut's career.

After this contract is executed, if he still wants to stay in the NBA, he has to accept the basic salary contract.

Although Bogut kept making small moves, he couldn't prevent Howard.

There is no way, in order to prevent Howard from scoring easily, he can only foul Howard.

Howard seized the opportunity today and hit all four free throws in a row, which surprised Lin Tian.

You know, this guy's free throw percentage this season is only 50%!12% lower than his two-point shooting percentage!
His free throw percentage is not even as good as his three-point shooting percentage...

Of course, the main reason is that he didn't shoot a few three-pointers all season.

After Howard scored consecutive free throws, he noticed Lin Tian's surprised affection, grinned and said: "Lin! Don't make such an exaggerated expression!"

Lin Tian patted Howard on the shoulder: "It would be nice if your free throws were always so accurate."

Howard didn't speak, but showed a simple and honest smile.

Cole on the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore, and directly replaced Bogut, the fake starter, back to the bench.

Iguodala trotted back to the court.

Witnessing this scene, Lin Tian said to Howard: "Dwight, you have to carry the banner and beat Dream Chaser Green."

Howard nodded: "Leave it to me! I will disintegrate the so-called five dead!"

With Howard's words, Lin Tian felt relieved.

As soon as the death five small lineup came out, the mental outlook of the Warriors seemed to have changed.

Whenever it's the Warriors' offensive round, they directly let Dreaming Green take possession of the ball.

And their other players, including Curry and Thompson, began to run wildly, disintegrating the Lakers' defense by running.

Nick Young's defensive focus has declined, and Bryant's footsteps have inevitably slowed down a lot.

It is undoubtedly torture for Kobe to let him guard a 3D player who can be called the number one in the league.

Thompson seized this point, repeatedly ran out of space, and seized the opportunity to hit a three-pointer.

When the Lakers were in the offensive round, Lin Tian and Howard chose to play inside.

Because the Warriors are dead five, the biggest advantage is speed. The extremely fast speed and perfect tacit understanding can allow them to lock the opponent's outside line.

But their weakness is also obvious, that is, the height of the inside line is not enough.

Iguodala's defense against Lin Tian is not tall enough, and Green's defense against Howard is even worse.

Lin Tian's post-up singles skills are superb, and he keeps scoring two points against Iguodala.

Sometimes even if they don't make a shot, their height and bounce have a great advantage in rebounding.
