NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 86 If you don't want to play well, then get out early!

Lu Wei's defense was already poor. After sulking with Lin Tian, ​​he lost his mind when defending and was passed by Michael Williams.

Seeing this, Lin Tian rushed over to defend and blocked Michael Williams' attack.

Michael Williams couldn't score, but he decisively passed the ball to Antetokounmpo outside the three-point line.

Antetokounmpo was open when he received the ball, and he fell into a brief confusion.

You know, Antetokounmpo averaged less than one three-pointer per game last season, and his shooting percentage was less than 20%.

This season, his number of three-point shots has increased significantly, but his shooting percentage is less than 30%!

This shooting rate is much, much lower than the league's average three-point shooting rate.

And most of Antetokounmpo's three-pointers are shot when there are open opportunities.

Therefore, Antetokounmpo seemed extremely hesitant in the vacant seat at this time.

After Brother Antetokounmpo hesitated for a while, Lin Tian had already rushed over.

He also knows that Antetokounmpo's three-point shooting rate is very low, but this does not mean that he can empty the opponent.

Antetokounmpo, who missed the best shot, still made a fake shot.

He didn't expect that Lin Tian didn't eat at all, but just braked urgently and raised his hands to block Brother Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo no longer chose to force the sky, but passed the ball back to Michael Williams.

Lu Wei just pretended to follow, and Michael Williams broke into the inside lane and made a layup.

Lin Tian shook his head. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't help defending the black hole.

Besides, he had done everything he could do just now.

Kobe, who was sitting on the bench, saw this scene, and spread his hands in Lu Wei's direction, expressing his incomprehension.

Lou Williams' defensive attitude has a big problem.

Lin Tian didn't expect that Clarkson, who had been deeply involved in trading rumors recently, had no problem with his attitude, but Lu Wei was upset.

But if you think about it carefully, you don't think it's a problem.

In the first half of the season, the Lakers played happy basketball. Everyone should score points and grow.

Even the average number of shots per game is relatively average, with four players in the team averaging 10 shots per game.

However, the arrival of Lin Tian completely broke the balance. The number of shots taken by those players who were not very active themselves dropped sharply.

Even playing time, several players have dropped a lot, such as Nick Young and Lu Wei.

Nick Young didn't complain about this. Although Lu Wei didn't complain before, his body language on the court showed his dissatisfaction.

He signed a three-year, $3 million contract with the Lakers last summer.

Nance Jr. held the ball and served it from the bottom corner. At this time, Lin Tian and Lu Wei stood on both sides of the basket and extended their hands to Nance Jr. at the same time.

The official broadcast camera caught the scene but quickly switched to the other half.

In this case, viewers watching the live TV and webcast will not be able to know who Nance Jr. sent the ball to in the first place.

But the fans in the Bradley Center arena, but they can see it clearly.

After hesitating for two seconds, Xiao Nance, who was holding the ball, still gave the ball to Lin Tian, ​​letting Lu Wei walk across the half court with a dull face.

Little Nance is not stupid, on the contrary, he is still a smart person.

Whether it's the importance of the management or the performance of the two on and off the field, Lin Tian has crushed Lu Wei.

Lin Tian held the ball for halftime, and under the strict defense of Brother Antetokounmpo, he directly shot a three-pointer!

This time the direction is right!The strength was just perfect, and the basketball fell into the basket with a "shua".

After the Bucks served, Antetokounmpo no longer insisted on singles Lin Tian, ​​but used other positions of the Lakers to score.

Lu Wei became the best person to bully.

As long as Lu Wei defends anyone, Middleton will find someone to play the pick-and-roll, and he will hit one accurately.

If it weren't for Lin Tian's fig leaf, the Lakers might have been opened up by the Bucks.

With more than 5 minutes left in the second quarter, Scott finally called a timeout.

He gathered the Lakers players into a group: "We have to move when we defend! Play more aggressively..."

These words are for Lu Wei and the others, mainly for Lu Wei.

But after he finished speaking, Lu Wei was put on the bench by him.

If there is no accident, Lu Wei will not appear again in the next half of the game.

This is obviously different from the previous regular rotation time. Although Lu Wei was a substitute, he used to average 28 minutes per game, even exceeding the normal starting time. Now halftime is almost over, and his playing time is less than 8 minutes.

After the timeout ended, the Lakers brought up the starting lineup, including Kobe. Even though he appeared at this time, there were still applause from the audience in twos and threes, which showed Kobe's popularity.

After the game started, the players on the Lakers became obviously more active.

Everyone can feel the tense atmosphere in the team.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Wei lost his temper just now.

The Lakers served the ball, and no one and Lin Tian went to grab it.

However, Lin Tian's touch has declined, and in the next few minutes, both the Bucks and the Lakers have entered the iron-making period.

Fortunately, Lin Tian quickly adjusted, reconnected the team's offense, and played a wave of climax in the little time left in the second quarter.

After the second quarter ended, the Lakers led the Bucks by 58 points 50:8.

Lin Tian scored 24 points at halftime.

When preparing to go back to the locker room, the players on the bench stood up one after another and gave Lin Tian a high five.

Only Lu Wei stood up from the bench without saying a word, and walked to the locker room without looking back.

This situation has never happened to the Lakers this season.

After more than a dozen Lakers players returned to the locker room, Kobe walked aggressively to Lu Wei's closet: "Listen! If you don't want to play well, then get out early!"

Kobe's sonorous and powerful voice made the locker room, which was quite noisy just now, instantly quiet down.

Even Nick Young, who was joking with Russell, quickly and subconsciously turned his head to look at Kobe and Lu Wei.

Lu Wei was also dumbfounded. Although Kobe usually has a big temper, he usually loses his temper at everyone.

I didn't expect him to target himself directly this time.

Although Lu Wei wasn't too scared, what he was facing now was the basketball player with the most fans in the world!
Kobe's aura is just like his nickname Black Mamba, which is daunting.

Lu Wei, who was changing his shoes, stood up and said with a little confidence: "Who said I haven't played well?"

Kobe sneered: "Who else is there to say? Do you dare to watch the video by yourself? With the few defenses you just made, an old lady can easily pass you with a basketball!"

There was a sound of air-conditioning in the locker room. No one thought that Kobe would directly tear Lu Wei up!
