NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 348 The last quarter of the tiebreaker!
The Lakers served the ball again, Lin Tian could not continue to attack, and handed the ball to Wade after halftime.

After a dribble, Wade didn't have a good chance to break through, and finally chose to make a strong two-pointer and hit the iron again.

The Warriors who grabbed the rebound did not initiate a fast break, but Durant took possession of the ball.

Lin Tian still faced Durant directly. After Durant changed direction, Lin Tian forced himself to keep up with the opponent.

The pain from his ankle made him grin, but he was unwilling to pull back.

The tall and long Durant finally ended the offense with a mid-range shot, but he still scored.

For him now, not only is it difficult to score goals on the offensive end, but it is also impossible to limit a star of Durant's level.

In the next few offenses of the Lakers, Lin Tian just made one of the goals.

After the first quarter, the Warriors led the Lakers by 8 points.

This also shows that Lin Tian's plus-minus value so far is -8, which is the player with the lowest plus-minus value in the game.

The data of 5 of 1 shots is absolutely unqualified for a superstar like him.

His previous hit rate was over 50%!It even reached 60% at one point!

On the bench, the teammates didn't complain about Lin Tian's performance just now.

All of them are very clear that Lin Tian played today with an injury, and his state is far from his peak.

His professional attitude is admired by everyone.

Panting, Lin Tiantian took off his sneakers, and his ankle, which had been swollen, gradually swelled up again.

Seeing this, the team doctor hurriedly took out the medical spray and gave Lin Tian a simple treatment.

When Wade, Howard and others saw this, their hearts were also chilled.

Scott also came over and asked the team doctor: "Can Lin still play in the second quarter?"

Before the team doctor could speak, Lin Tian had already said: "I can play!"

Hearing this, the team doctor and Scott looked at each other.

Penguin Sports Live.

Millions of fans were watching the live broadcast, and they could see Lin Tian's poor performance in the first quarter.

"The injury has affected Lin Tian too much! He shouldn't be in such a hurry to come back!"

"Hey! Isn't it wrong for Lin Tian, ​​who was not injured, to hit anyone? How can there be any need to be so aggrieved like today! This damn Zaza!"

"Watching the Lakers' game for so long, this seems to be the first time Lin Tian drags the team back. It's too difficult!"

"Otherwise, don't let Lin Tian go! It's too uncomfortable to see that he can't show his full strength!"

"I don't want to see the Lakers being nailed to the pillar of shame! The uninjured Lin Tian, ​​come back soon!"

……

Quicken Loans Arena meeting room.

All the players of the Cavaliers headed by James are all present tonight, just to watch the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals.

The Cavaliers are more concerned about which team will be the winner tonight than the outside world, because it will determine who they will meet in the Finals.

Seeing that Lin Tian did not play well in only 3 minutes of playing time in the first quarter, JR Smith said: "It's over! Our opponent will be the Warriors."

Owen stared at the screen, and said, "That guy can't even play half of his peak strength. Who gave him the courage to come back after being injured like this? Although courage is commendable, don't advocate this kind of thing. It will only drag down the team and is not humane at all!"

Love also said: "Lin's speed has dropped too much visible to the naked eye. It is impossible for them to cross the Warriors tonight, but I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for us."

When they were talking, they couldn't help looking at James, wanting to hear James talk about the two rounds.

But James, who was sitting at the front, never left the live broadcast interface.

Jr said: "Hey! LeBron, you have to be extra careful about that guy in this year's finals, he's already infamous."

James finally said: "I don't know why, I always feel that it is not that simple for the Warriors to win, so let's look down."

……

After the start of the second quarter, Lin Tian sat on the bench to watch the game as usual, but he seemed more nervous than the players on the court.

Wade also rests temporarily. During this time period, Van Jordan will control the ball, Brogdon will play the second position, and Nick Young will play the third position.

The disadvantage of the Lakers' small size in the backcourt was quickly found by the Warriors.

The Warriors' backcourt are all players with championship experience.

They devastated the Lakers.

When Lin Tian took off his warm-up suit and returned to the court again, the Lakers were already 17 points behind.

The entire arena was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

In such an atmosphere, Lin Tian was not only not discouraged, but on the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit.

He is no longer obsessed with shooting closer to the basket, but frequently takes three-pointers.

His step-back three-pointer is still as steady as an old dog, and even Chasing Dream Green can't prevent it.

Lin Tian's two consecutive three-pointers stabilized the situation, which also greatly increased the confidence of the fans. They sighed in their hearts that the familiar Lin Tian had returned.

半场打完，湖人队落后12分！林天出场7分钟，10投4中得到了10分。

After returning to the locker room, Kobe came to the team locker room to encourage the juniors.

But when Kobe saw Lin Tian's already swollen ankle, he was still taken aback.

He said with a wry smile: "Damn! Lin! You are such a madman!"

Although Kobe also fought with injuries, he was not as exaggerated as Lin Tian.

Lin Tian solemnly said: "In order to help the team as much as possible, I have no other choice!"

The third quarter began soon, and the starting players of both sides remained unchanged.

After Zaza played less than 3 minutes, the Warriors couldn't wait to replace Iguodala.

As soon as their lineup became the dead five, the point difference was slowly widened by the Warriors.

Seeing that the point difference came to 15 points again, Lin Tian said to Scott: "Coach, I feel in good shape, let me start this quarter earlier."

Under tremendous pressure, Scott shook his head and refused without hesitation: "No! I must strictly implement the advice given by the medical team!"

Lin Tian sighed and turned his gaze back to the court.

The Splash Brothers and Durant continued to exert their strength, and COSCO made consecutive shots. Although the Lakers were desperately defending, they still couldn't prevent it.

When the point difference reached 20 points, Lin Tian was finally replaced by Scott.

At this time, there are only more than 3 minutes left before the end of the third quarter.

Under the pressure beyond imagination, Lin Tian continued to cast COSCO.

He still maintains a very outstanding touch, slowly narrowing the point difference with his own strength.

Under his leadership, after three quarters, the Lakers went from 20 points behind to 13 points behind.

After a break of more than two minutes, the last quarter of the two sides officially began!
The Warriors started off with a finishing lineup.

Curry and Durant took turns playing singles with the ball, and the Lakers were hard to defend.
