NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 87 Bullshit shot!

Lu Wei opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

After all, his defensive attitude just now was indeed very negative, basically tantamount to defending with his eyes.

Lin Tian, ​​who was sitting on the side, was also very surprised. Seeing the tense atmosphere, he walked over and pulled Kobe over.

In addition to the players in the locker room, there are also several team staff.

Including head coach Scott also walked into the locker room just now and witnessed the scene where Kobe was angry with Lu Wei.

He touched his nose and said nothing.

Fortunately, the locker room is strictly prohibited from entering the media during the game, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable, because this is definitely breaking news.

This is why Kobe will attack during the halftime break. He is the absolute boss of the locker room, even if his strength is no longer the boss.

Today's 15-minute intermission seems to be a bit slow, and then the entire locker room seems relatively quiet.

Just at the beginning of the third quarter, Scott simply arranged his tactics.

At the end of the intermission, the starting players of both sides re-appeared.

As soon as the game started, Middleton let go of the shot, and his touch came up, and Kobe couldn't guard it.

The offensive power of the Lakers has not weakened.

Lin Tian and Kobe began to play pick and roll frequently.

After Kobe covered him, the defender of Lin Tian became Middleton.

Middleton's size and speed are not as good as Lin Tian.

When he defends Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian has more offensive options.

He can hit the basket by himself, pull up on the spot, and pass the ball to Kobe who is running down.

For him, in fact, hitting anyone is a misplacement, but the energy consumption is different.

In the first half of the third quarter, the offense of the Lakers was basically dominated by Lin Tian and Kobe.

The Bucks have the ball most of the time in the hands of Middleton and Antetokounmpo.

Lin Tian has the highest shooting percentage, and the Bucks have the highest shooting percentage is Brother Antetokounmpo.

Kobe's shooting percentage today is also not bad. At this stage, Kobe made 11 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 12 points.

I don't know if it's because he was a little angry just now, but he has a strong desire to attack now.

Lin Tian gradually handed over the focus of offense to Kobe.

The time in the third quarter seemed to pass quickly. With less than 3 minutes left in this quarter, Lin Tian was replaced by Nick Young, Kobe was replaced by Lu Wei, Nance Jr. was replaced by Randall, and the current center of the Lakers is Hibbert.

When Kobe returned to the bench, he didn't high-five Lu Wei.

Lin Tian had scored a game-high 34 points at this time.

He has a good few minutes to rest, and the Lakers are still leading by 8 points.

Such an advantage should be difficult for the Bucks to catch up in a short time.

But Lin Tian soon found out that he was wrong.

After Lu Wei came on the field, he made a difficult three-pointer directly, but the three-pointer did not hit.

Scott on the sidelines scratched his head anxiously. The three-pointer was obviously not rational.

The Bucks still have Middleton in control of the ball. Both Middleton and Antetokounmpo have not left the field yet. They just want to take advantage of this time period to chase points.

Middleton doesn't have to look for Lu Wei now, and it's easy to single Nick Young.

And Antetokounmpo finally started to kill the Quartet inside.

Antetokounmpo and Middleton like to play pick-and-rolls, and this trick is difficult to guard against.

Randall's defensive habits are not good, and he is often fouled by Antetokounmpo.

In fact, it's not just Randall's bad defensive habits. Hibbert is getting older and affected by injuries. He has also averaged a lot of fouls per game this season.

The two inside players of the Lakers have averaged more than 3 fouls per game this season.

The number of fouls like this can be ranked in the top ten in the league...

Antetokounmpo seems to have found the secret to scoring, repeatedly killing inside, causing two consecutive fouls by Hibbert and one foul by Randall.

The game also became not so smooth.

At this time, even Barkley in the studio began to feel emotional: "Giannis of the Bucks seems to have found the secret to scoring."

Smith agreed: "Yes, the Lakers' two insiders will struggle a bit, and they will foul no matter how they defend."

"Randall and Hibbert's foul data this season is quite different." Barkley said with a smile.

"Why do you say that? They have more fouls, doesn't it also prove that they are more active in defense?"

"You can't say that. Those who foul more than them in the league are some defensive champions, even DPOY-level players, such as Draymond Green, Giannis, Beverly, and Covington. Although they both have a lot of fouls, their defensive efficiency is not satisfactory."

"Haha! When you say that, it seems that this is really the case."

"I can understand Hibbert. After all, his injury has affected him too much, but Randall's defensive habits are very poor. I think Kobe has to teach these young players in the team how to defend."

"It can't be blamed on Randall. As a short power forward, it is really difficult for him to defend that Greek young man."

……

At the end of the third quarter, the Bucks had successfully overtaken the score.

Antetokounmpo galloped across the court, as if he had endless strength.

Lin Tian and Kobe on the bench sighed.

Scott also put his hands on his hips and stopped yelling because he had given up on treatment.

I don't know if it's because I was upset by Kobe's scolding, Lu Wei just doesn't pass the ball now.

He takes the ball to attack by himself, has a poor hand feel, and can only get free throws by fouling occasionally.

This is a bit weak compared to the Bucks' super offensive firepower.

After Kobe saw that Lu Wei made another three-pointer, he finally couldn't help but swear: "Shooting like shit!"

At the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lu Wei was put on the bench.

Lin Tian played early again, and he led Russell, Nick Young, Randall and Nance Jr. to play in the first half of the fourth quarter.

Bucks head coach Jason Base also seemed to be weighed today, just not letting Antetokounmpo and Middleton take a breath and continue to let them play.

The expression on Brother Antetokounmpo's face was fatigue visible to the naked eye.

You know, the Bucks only played a game against the Bulls yesterday, and they played for so long today.

In the second half of the third quarter, due to frequent fouls, Lin Tian also rested for a long time, and he was full of energy at this time.

Because the jump ball in the middle of the first quarter was snatched by the Lakers, the first ball in the fourth quarter was still on the Lakers' side.

The feeling of having the ball in hand is comfortable for Lin Tian.

He crossed the half court with the ball, and Antetokounmpo was panting heavily.

Angel Lin made a crossover that he is good at, used a change of direction to pass Brother Antetokounmpo, then rushed into the inside line, faced Greg Monroe with a counterattack, and blew the horn of the Lakers' counterattack.
