NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 276 Lin Tian Was Troubled by Fouls
After returning from the timeout, the Lakers' offensive has not weakened at all, and James of the Cavaliers has also begun to exert force.

Although Lin Tian has tried his best to defend James, it is still difficult to completely restrict the opponent.

When James rushed up, the impact was too strong, which made up for his technical shortcomings to a certain extent.

And today the referee's whistle is slightly biased towards the Cavaliers.

As long as Lin Tian stretches out his hand a little, the referee will blow his whistle.

After the first quarter, Lin Tian had already received two fouls.

Both of these fouls were called when he was defending James.

The referee's penalty naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the fans, but this is at the Lakers' home court.

As a hardcore fan of the Lakers for decades, Nicholson couldn't stand it at all, and just spit at the referee.

But his trash talk can hardly affect the referee. Every referee in the NBA has a big heart.

After the start of the second quarter, Lin Tian and James continued to explode each other.

James' three-point shooting rate is not high, so most of his offenses are to break through with the ball or hit Lin Tian with his back.

Lin Tian has more offensive methods, changing direction breakthroughs, back shots, fadeaway jumpers, pull-up jumpers, and step-back three-pointers are all at his fingertips.

His shooting percentage has always remained above 50%, which is really not easy.

After the first half, the Lakers still led by 6 points, and Lin Tian and James' performances were almost evenly divided.

Of the two of them, one scored 25 points and the other scored 24 points, even with similar shooting percentages.

The difference is that Lin Tian was troubled by fouls, and he committed three fouls in the first half.

And James was only called for a foul.

Lin Tian's three fouls made him understand that he must be more careful in the second half.

Back in the locker room, Nick Young kept complaining to the referee: "Damn! Lin, you get blown as soon as you touch LeBron! How do you play this?"

Howard also muttered: "The NBA referee's judgment on the scale is as cloudy and sunny as the weather."

Only Kobe stared at Lin Tian solemnly: "Lin! You have three fouls on your body now, and LeBron will definitely continue to trouble you! He has played for more than ten years and knows the rules too well, but you are just a rookie."

Lin Tian nodded solemnly. He also knows James very well. James' golf quotient is at a historical level.

It was a wonder they didn't find themselves fouling in the second half.

After the intermission, the second half of the game between the two sides also began.

Lin Tian guessed right, James continued to single Lin Tian as soon as he came up.

In the first few games, James will also find teammates to help pick and roll.

Today, in order to make Lin Tian foul, he doesn't need to pick and roll, just blindly play singles.

This made Lin Tian very embarrassed.

Players who work hard to defend will often have a lot of fouls, because it is inevitable to have confrontation.

If you don't work hard to defend James, with James' physique, scoring is as easy as picking something out of a pocket.

After playing for 3 minutes in the third quarter, James forced another foul on Lin Tian during a breakthrough.

In this way, Lin Tian's fouls reached 4 times!
This is an extremely dangerous signal for the Lakers.

You must know that if the number of fouls committed by a single player reaches 6 times, he will be sent off.

Lin Tian is not only the offensive core of the Lakers, but also the defensive core.

Without him, the Lakers would not have come to where they are today, or even made the playoffs.

Scott, who has always been gentle and gentle, jumped into a rage when he saw Lin Tian's fourth foul.

Nicholson, who was sitting on the edge of the technical table, was so anxious that his neck was red, but there was nothing he could do.

Because it was a shooting foul, James had two free throws.

When he walked to the free throw line, he smiled at Lin Tian and said, "Rookie, you still have a long way to go."

Subsequently, James hit two free throws.

After James made the free throw, Scott called a timeout and replaced Lin Tian early.

There is no way, in order to prevent Lin Tian from being fouled again, he can only rest temporarily, and send him up at a critical time.

Xiao Nance, who replaced Lin Tian and returned to the field early.

In this way, Tucker changed from the fourth position to the third position, Nance Jr. played the fourth position, and Howard played the fifth position.

The game continued, without Lin Tian, ​​the Lakers had Kobe to control the ball.

As soon as Kobe got the ball, jr Smith played the toughest defense against him.

For jr Smith this season, the perimeter defense has become a key iron gate for the Cavaliers.

He guarded Bryant well, and the rest of the Cavaliers clung to their defenders and kept Bryant from passing the ball.

When the offensive time was about to end, Kobe still had no chance to pass the ball, so he could only pull one by himself.

Bang!

The strength of this ball is a little bit weak, and it's hard to hit the iron.

After the Lakers' Irving grabbed the rebound, he quickly advanced to switch the offense and scored the ball.

The Lakers serve, Kobe dribbles over the Lakers logo, then passes the ball to Nick Young.

After Nick Young dribbled the ball against Irving, he ended the offense with a fadeaway jumper.

bang!This ball is still hitting the iron!
This time it was James who grabbed the rebound, and he quickly completed a one-stop offense.

After Lin Tian rested for less than a minute, the score was already tied by the Cavaliers. Looking at it like this, I am afraid that the Cavaliers will soon overtake the score.

Seeing the predicament of the Lakers, Lin Tian feels like sitting on pins and needles.

Howard on the inside can't get the ball, and players on the outside can't make shots. The Cavaliers seem to have found a way to limit them.

Lin Tian was in a hurry, and so were the audience.

Lin Tian could even hear the discussion from the auditorium behind him.

"Damn! The Lakers rely on Lin too much! When he leaves the court, everyone doesn't seem to know how to play!"

"That guy LeBron is too insidious! Did he learn his foul-making ability from Harden?"

"Damn it! I don't want to see the Cavaliers tie the game! If we can't win this game tonight, the Lakers will be in big trouble!"

"Scott! Send Lin back on the court! Kobe has been used to playing off the ball this season! It's too difficult for him to handle the ball!"

The audience was chatting, the Lakers were cut off again, and the Cavaliers completed another fast break.

As the head coach of the Lakers, Scott was sweating profusely as he kept circling in front of Lin Tian.

He wanted to change Lin Tian back to the field, but if Lin Tian got fouled again, the consequences would be even more serious.

On the court, James has been completely hilarious.

It is difficult for Lin Tian to completely restrain him, let alone PJ Tucker
Only halfway through the third quarter, he scored more than 30 points today.
