NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 43 Westbrook's Shocking Buckle!
In the studio, Barkley and Smith also talked freely.

Barkley said: "Although the Lakers took the lead in the first three quarters, their defense was not as good as the Thunder's in the fourth quarter."

Smith also agreed with his words: "The Thunder took it seriously in the second half of the fourth quarter. The Lakers are all young players after all."

"However, Lin played so well today! He even suppressed KD!"

"His individual ability is beyond doubt! But basketball is a team game after all."

……

Ford Center.

After only a few tens of seconds of rest, Lin Tian and the others returned to the field.

At this point in the game, the players on both sides were extremely tired.

Lin Tian also shot more than 30 times today, but in front of the Thunder's iron barrel, this is his lowest shooting percentage in recent games.

With more than one minute and 20 seconds left in the clock, the Lakers served from the sideline.

After Kobe passed the ball to Lin Tian, ​​he signaled Lin Tian to press the time.

Although the current score is even, at least they still have the ball.

Durant, Ibaka and others stared at Lin Tian, ​​and Durant didn't intend to come up to press him.

As long as the ball is defended, the initiative will be in the Thunder's hands again.

This point, everyone is very clear.

The neat "defence" sounded again in the arena, and these voices came from the enthusiastic fans of the Thunder.

Lin Tian controlled the ball for a while, looked up at the timer, and there were 10 seconds left in the attack time.

He first took two steps towards Durant, and saw Ibaka and Adams ready to block his layup at any time.

Lin Tian could only temporarily stop and look at his teammates.

When most opponents focus on themselves, then try to find the position of teammates.

Knowing what he was thinking in his heart, seeing that Lin Tian didn't force his way in, Ibaka and Adams hurried to find their defenders again.

Lin Tian doesn't like passing the ball, but he is not stupid. If there are several people around him, sending the ball out can almost securely score.

Durant stood in front of Lin Tian firmly, not wanting to let Lin Tian squeeze in again.

The two were so close that Lin Tian could hear Durant's heavy breathing.

Why isn't Lin Tian tired?
He simply turned his back on Durand, digging in step by step!

In the past, Lin Tian seldom used his back to hit, but after using it like this today, he realized how easy it is!

Although he is thin, he may be full of muscles and has a strong ability to fight.

Durant was tall and thin, and looked extremely uncomfortable at this time.

The rest of the Thunder didn't dare to come over to help defend.

When Lin Tian was in a position he thought was comfortable, he kicked his feet hard, then turned over and shot a jumper.

Durant followed suit, but he couldn't cover it, and the basketball went into the net!
The voices of the home fans stopped abruptly at this time.

This shot can be said to be quite extreme, and it was shot at the last second.

Therefore, there is only 1 minute left in the game, and the Lakers lead by two points.

"Back to defense! Come back to defense!" Bryant yelled at several Lakers players, just to prevent the Thunder from playing fast breaks.

Russell and Nance Jr. naturally knew what to do.

After Westbrook dribbled the ball over, he commanded his teammates to set up in a high position.

At the same time, his eyes are also looking for Durant.

Although the Thunder had run out of time, they didn't find a good opportunity, and he didn't want to rush to the basket recklessly.

Durant ran frantically to catch the ball, but Lin Tian followed him everywhere.

When everyone thought Westbrook was going to pass the ball to Durant, he suddenly accelerated and went straight to the basket!

Russell's reaction was fast enough, but compared to Westbrook's footsteps, it was still half a beat slower, half a body behind Westbrook.

When Westbrook rushed up, Nance Jr. could only go back to the basket to defend.

Who knew that Westbrook not only didn't give in, he jumped up directly against the tall Nance Jr.

Westbrook, who grabbed the ball with his right hand and raised it high, has almost a flat frame on the top of his head!

Little Nance is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!Facing Westbrook, not only was he not afraid, but he also jumped up and raised his hand high!

The bodies of the two inevitably lifted in the air.

Westbrook subconsciously pressed Nance Jr.'s shoulder with his left hand, grabbed the ball with his right hand, passed Nance Jr.'s fingertips, and dunked the ball hard from the top of Nance Jr.'s head!

This is an extremely brutal dunk, which made the audience's blood spurt!
After a brief silence, the arena resounded with cheers!
The DJ on the scene also said: "The brutal dunk equalized the score! Russell... Westbrook!!"

After Westbrook landed, he clenched his fists and roared at Nance Jr.!
Durant and the others quickly returned to the Lakers' frontcourt, not daring to celebrate with Westbrook, for fear that the Lakers would launch a sneak attack at this time.

It wasn't until the Lakers called a timeout again that Durant and the others excitedly celebrated with Westbrook.

Those who didn't know thought they had already won today's game.

In fact, such a button was offered at the end of the fourth quarter!It really made their momentum soar, and they felt that they could win the game today.

In contrast, the momentum of the Lakers is much weaker.

Russell patted Nance Jr. on the shoulder with some embarrassment.

If he keeps up with Westbrook, he won't let Nance Jr. wipe his ass for him.

However, Nance Jr. himself didn't mind much about it. Being dunked at least proved that he was serious about defending.

Scott gathered the crowd together and began to quickly draw tactics on the tactical board: "Kobe will be in charge of the organization later, and Lin will play a pick-and-roll for Kobe..."

In the past, at such critical times, Scott handed the ball to Kobe without hesitation.

And this time, he also intends to let Kobe execute this key shot.

In the last few games of the fourth quarter, Lin Tian was basically playing.

Because at that time, the team is basically already in the lead by a lot of points.

But today's game was extremely tense, and Kobe shot countless key shots. After a little consideration, he decided to let Kobe play.

As Bass Jr. reminded him before, it doesn't matter whether he wins or not. The important thing is that there are Kobe games, and one game is less.

In this last season, let Kobe have no regrets.

Before Scott could speak, Kobe suddenly stretched out a finger towards Lin Tian: "Let Lin play this ball."

He looked at Lin Tian with firm eyes full of trust.

The Lakers will be speechless!It seems that this is the first time that Kobe himself said that he would give the key ball to other players to shoot!
You know, there was one time when Lin Crazy was still on the Lakers, even though he made a game-winning shot, Kobe didn't seem very happy!
It is enough to show that he hardly trusts other players.

But his attitude towards Lin Tian is completely different!
