NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 49 Leave CJ to me to defend!

Kupchak suddenly whispered to Buss Jr.: "Boss! We are getting farther and farther away from the bottom one in the league."

It's better not to let other people hear about this kind of thing.

Little Buss nodded: "I know."

"This runs counter to our goal at the beginning of the season. At the end of this season, if we don't make the playoffs and the ranking is embarrassing, we will definitely not get a good pick." Kupchak was very embarrassed.

Buss Jr. asked back: "Do you think we still have hope of hitting the playoffs?"

The record of the Lakers in the first half of the season is like that, no one believes that they can make the playoffs, even they themselves do not believe it.

"But Lin has already shown his superstar status. If we don't do something in the recent period, it will be difficult to renew his contract early next season."

Little Bass is also having a headache now, and Lin Tian's current performance is completely at the mvp level.

He can run, jump, attack and defend. It is unprecedented for a player who can reach Lin Tian's stats in the first few games of his career!

You know, Jordan averaged 28 points in his first season.

Chamberlain averaged 37 points per game in his first season.

As for Lin Tian, ​​the current average score exceeds 40 points!
Although the season is not over yet, anyone who has watched his game will know that he is really likely to finish a season with an average of 40 points!
Little Buss regretted it again!I regret that I was still coy when I gave Lin Tian a maximum salary contract!I regret not directly signing with Lin Tian with a 4-year maximum salary.

Kupchak said: "Boss, do you think this year's No. [-] pick is better, or Lin is better?"

Bass frowned: "Nonsense! Durant was suppressed by him in the last game!"

"That's easy to say." Kupchak grinned, "What we have to do now is to build a team around Lin Tian! As long as he can stay in the Lakers!"

Little Bass looked at the court and saw that Lin Tian forced another one into the inside line. He made up his mind: "Okay! I will do as you said!"

……

At this time, Lin Tian, ​​who was running across the court, did not know the conversation between the Lakers owner and the general manager.

When he scored 12 consecutive points, the Blazers coach finally called a timeout.

The Blazers team, which has always been known for its ferocious offensive firepower, was almost stopped by Lin Tian at the beginning of the game!

Surrounded by his teammates, Lin Tian returned to the bench.

Neither Aminu nor Feng Lai could guard against him at all.

In fact, this is normal, after all, players at the level of PJ Tucker and Durant can't guard against him.

After experiencing the Thunder's iron barrel defense, facing the Blazers, Lin Tian did play much more comfortably.

But the game is just the beginning after all, and he will play again later, he concluded that the Blazers will definitely change their defensive strategy.

After Scott finished arranging the tactics, Nick Yang walked up to Lin Tian and said with a smile: "Haha! Lin! It seems that your performance has a lot to do with the big star watching the game."

As he spoke, he glanced at Scarlett again.

Scarlett happened to be sitting on the edge of the technical table, just a few seats away from the Lakers bench.

Sometimes if there is a girl you like by your side, it can indeed bring a little strength, but Lin Tianzhen is not like this.

Lin Tian was not in the mood to joke with Nick Young at this time, and he was not a fan of Scarlett himself.

It's a white girl sitting next to Scarlett, who looks very pure and beautiful
After the timeout ends, the game continues.

The Blazers really changed their defensive strategy against Lin Tian.

After suffering the loss of the first few minutes, they began to double-team, zone defense, assist defense, and shrink the basket...

This did limit Lin Tian's performance to a certain extent.

But Lin Tian is not a single muscle, but when the opponent double-teams, the frequency of his passing also increases, and he starts to drive his teammates.

The overall offense of the Lakers was driven by Lin Tian, ​​and the score was always in the lead in the first quarter.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Lin Tian and Kobe went off to rest, and Nick Young and Lu Wei came on.

The time for the Blazers to chase points has come, and they did seize this opportunity.

On the other hand, the Lakers, maybe Lin Tian took the ball too long alone.

When he went down, Russell didn't know what to do, and made two mistakes in a row.

At the end of the first quarter, the scores of the two sides were even, and Lin Tian's personal score was 15 points.

The rest of the team combined did not score as high as Lin Tian alone.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Tian rested temporarily.

The Blazers hurriedly replaced Lillard on the field.

Lillard's physical fitness is not as strong as Westbrook, and his speed is not as fast as Westbrook.

But his shooting is more accurate, the way he plays is more reasonable and smarter, and he is not as easy to get on as Westbrook.

Whether it is Westbrook or Lillard, facing the young Russell, there are obviously many ways to score.

He hit the inside line again and again, even if he missed the shot, there was a high probability of causing damage, showing his true qualities as a killer.

Russell was barely able to keep up with Lillard anyway.

Sometimes Lillard plays a pick-and-roll and asks Lu Wei to guard him, which is even more outrageous.

Hibbert has already been replaced, and the Lakers are left with Randall and Nance Jr. inside.

The taller out of the short guys, the best defender should now be Nance Jr., and Nance Jr.'s confrontation is not his strong point.

After playing for more than two minutes in the second quarter, the score was not only overtaken, but also stretched to 6 points.

The Blazers played a wave of 8:0.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Scott hurriedly put Lin Tian on the field again, and Russell returned to the bench to rest.

At this time, the five players on the Lakers field are: Lu Wei, Nick Young, Lin Tian, ​​Randall, and Nance Jr.

McCollum also appeared again, and the double shots in the backcourt should not be underestimated.

As soon as Lin Tian came on the court, under the cover of Nick Young, he made a three-pointer, which temporarily stopped the bleeding.

Next, he actively connected the team and drove the offense.

But in terms of defense, the situation on their side is a bit worse.

Lu Wei and Nick Young, when facing Lillard and McCollum, their defense can be described as a disaster. Sometimes the opponent breaks through, just stretch out his hand, and then watch the opponent rush into the basket...

The Blazers' two guns in the backcourt cooperated tacitly, sometimes breaking through and sometimes shooting three-pointers, making them hard to defend.

Lin Tian looked at it and shook his head.

Until now, Aminu, who Lin Tian is responsible for defending, has not scored a point, but what is the use of this?
"Yang! You go to defend Aminu! CJ leaves it to me to defend!"

After McCollum made another three-pointer, Lin Tian said to Nick Young.

Nick Young will occasionally play the forward position, let him defend Aminu, the pressure will not be so great.

Nick Yang naturally had no objection to this, and even heaved a sigh of relief.
