NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 65 The Lakers are behind by a big score!

After Lin Tian succeeded in dunking, he quickly returned to defense without having time to celebrate with his teammates.

The Spurs originally wanted to play a fast break, because the Lakers defended in time, they didn't make it, so they could only press the rhythm first.

Ginobili and Tony Parker were both on the court at this time. They played a pick-and-roll and quickly scored the ball, which made the arena quieter.

Nance Jr. sent the ball to Lin Tian from the bottom corner, allowing him to hold the ball across the half court.

Facing Leonard again, it is impossible for Lin Tian to say that there is no pressure.

After a big change of direction, he chose to go inside again.

Leonard's defense is better than last time, and Aldridge is also waiting in the paint.

Lin Tian suddenly stopped when he was about to burst under the basket, and then made a fake shot, Leonard was tricked into jumping.

He turned around and made a jump shot, and the basketball hit the board!

Unable to guard Lin Tian, ​​Leonard shook his head in frustration. He is nicknamed "facial paralysis", and he rarely has such an expression.

Also shaking his head was Popovich on the sidelines. He was muttering words, but he didn't know what he was talking about.

in the studio.

Big Mouth Barkley also saw Leonard's expression through the broadcast camera: "Haha! Kawaii is not facial paralysis! He also has emotions."

Smith, who was sitting next to him, laughed: "Whether Kawhi is guarding James or Durant, he has never shown such an expression."

"Yes! I remember that his defense made James suffer so much in the finals that year. When he came on the court, James shook his head."

"Haha! I also remember that he is one of the best players in the league against James!"

"But today, so far, in 1-on-1, he actually made a rookie shoot 70.00%! This is really unimaginable!"

"Have you noticed Popovich on the sidelines? He seems very dissatisfied."

"I found out a long time ago. Those who didn't know thought they were dozens of points behind! But they are still ahead."

……

In the next few minutes of the second quarter, Lin Tian took all the offensive rounds by himself. Although his shooting percentage dropped, it still exceeded [-]%.

He also spared no effort to contribute to the team in the defensive round, and also got 1 steal.

But the teamwork of the Spurs played so well!
None of the five players on their field stick to the ball. As long as a good opportunity arises, they will shoot without hesitation, and their shooting percentage is not low.

After the second quarter, the score was 58:45, with the Spurs leading by 13 points.

Of the 45 points scored by the Lakers, Lin Tian scored 26 points alone.

Under Leonard's tough defense, Lin Tian's scoring is still as high as ever.

Of course, this is also related to the Spurs' defensive strategy. They did not double-team Lin Tian, ​​but tried their best to assist and supplement the defense.

Many times when Lin Tian dribbles the ball into the interior, he can only bite the bullet and hit the basket. It is difficult to pass the ball because his teammates are watched.

Facing Leonard's high score at halftime, it can be regarded as some comfort for the fans.

The Lakers players returned to the locker room from the player tunnel, then Kobe walked to the physical therapy room, and Lin Tian followed.

Kobe took off his shoes and lay down on the physiotherapy bed with a rather painful expression on his face.

Judy Seto, his royal physical therapy room, immediately stepped forward to massage the soles of his feet and asked him how he was feeling.

Judy Saito is a middle-aged Asian woman wearing a pair of glasses.

She became Kobe's personal physical therapist many years ago, accompanied Kobe through his peak period, and Kobe praised her very much.

Because they all have oriental faces and Kobe's relationship, in the Lakers, Judy Saito also helped Lin Tian massage and restore his body.

Her professionalism cannot be doubted.

"Damn it! The soles of my feet hurt." Kobe gritted his teeth, and when Judy Saito massaged his feet, he gritted his teeth.

Throughout the first half, Kobe scored 10 points on 4 of 8 shots, which was the highest score for the Lakers except for Lin Tian.

At this time Scott also walked into the physical therapy room: "Hey! Kobe, are you okay? Can you still play in the second half?"

If Kobe can't play in the second half, he has to arrange the starting of the second half in advance.

Kobe nodded: "It's hard, but half the season is almost over, and I can play."

Scott patted Kobe on the shoulder, nodded and said nothing.

Lin Tian also sighed and didn't know what to say.

Those comforting words were of no use to Kobe.

As long as he puts on the Zijin jersey, he will give everything he has without hesitation.

Lin Tian still remembers that in his previous life, Kobe's attendance rate in the last season of his career was actually not low, it seemed to be close to 70 games.

Now it seems that it is indeed admirable that he can maintain such a high attendance rate after being so tortured by injuries.

Noticing the expression on Lin Tian's face, Kobe smiled and said: "Lin! You played very well in the first half, and continue to maintain your aggressiveness in the second half!"

Lin Tian nodded heavily.

The intermission ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the arena.

At the beginning of the second half, Danny Green hit a spot-on three-pointer.

When Lin Tian holds the ball and is in charge of organizing the offense, he can clearly feel that the Spurs have brought up the defense.

Leaving aside Leonard, the other starting players of the Spurs, except for Duncan, are all like chicken blood.

Lin Tian, ​​the first one here, still chose to break through. Although he barely passed Leonard, after reaching the inside, facing Duncan's defense, he failed to make a shot.

Although his offensive skills are invincible now, his hit rate is definitely far from [-]%.

The ball returned to the Spurs, and they began to play positional warfare under the command of Popovich.

In the end, Aldridge faced Nance Jr.'s defense again and made a two-pointer from the frame.

Hibbert passed the ball to Lin Tian. After Lin Tian rushed to the inside, he distributed the ball to Russell in the bottom corner. Russell made a three-pointer and hit the iron.

Today, under the high-pressure defense of the Spurs, Russell and Nance Jr. didn't even have a chance to breathe, and their shooting percentage was frighteningly low.

Although Kobe was plagued by injuries, his defense and offense improved in the face of the Spurs.

In the next few rounds, the Lakers' offense was basically handed over to Lin Tian and Kobe.

The two took turns attacking the basket, and their scores continued to increase.

But the Spurs' offense is not in a hurry, and they can always maintain the lead.

With Lin Tian's outstanding defense alone, it is impossible to pose too much threat to the Spurs' offensive system.

Although Lin Tian wiped his teammates' ass several times, it didn't help.

Although Lin Tian made frequent shots and scored, it always felt like he had hit the cotton with his fist.

In the third quarter, when Lin Tian and Kobe took a rest, they were already 16 points behind.

In the next few minutes, things will get worse, if nothing else.
