Chapter 277 Kobe: LeBron taught you a lesson
Slowly, the point difference was inevitably opened up by the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers' perimeter and wing defenses are top-notch, and Kobe is very uncomfortable playing, and often has no chance to pass the ball.
When the point difference was opened to 8 points by the Cavaliers, Scott finally put Lin Tian on the field again, even though he had 4 fouls on his back.
As soon as Lin Tian came back, the Lakers' spirit changed significantly.
James showed a puzzled expression to Lin Tian, as if wondering how Lin Tian dared to play.
After resting for a few minutes, his physical fitness recovered a lot, and he forced a few difficult shots against James' defense.
James hasn't rested since his debut today, and played for another minute. Tyronn Lue replaced him with Anderson Varejao.
This is also Varejao's first appearance in this finals.
Lin Tian remembers very clearly that at this time in his previous life, Varejao should have been traded to the Warriors by the Cavaliers.
But in this life, many things have changed. Even Channing Frye was cut off by the Lakers, and it is normal that Varejao was not traded.
Varejao has been with the Cavaliers since entering the league in 2004.
He stayed with the Cavaliers longer than James.
As one of James' right-hand men, James played the only substitute in his life in order to support Varejao.
It's just that with the impact of injuries in the past two years, it has been difficult for Varejao to help the team, and his playing time has also dropped sharply.
His biggest role now is to use flops to mess with the opponent's mentality.
Varejao did not play in the first three games of the finals.
But now that he suddenly appeared on the field, he was obviously rushing to make a foul!
Everyone knows that Lin Tian has committed 4 fouls. If he fouls again, the Lakers will be forced to the edge of a cliff...
Lin Tian will undoubtedly receive key attention.
Things were exactly as Lin Tian thought, when he got the ball again, the 2.11-meter Varejao suddenly came to him to defend him.
Seeing Varejao's face, Lin Tian felt dizzy.
Varejao also prodded Lin Tian: "Come on! Rookie, let me try!"
Lin Tian smiled, and easily passed Varejao with a change of direction.
Varejao didn't have any chance to find a physical confrontation, he could only watch Lin Tian go inside and score, and finally shook his head and sighed.
The Cavaliers served quickly, Irving played for a while, and Lin Tian continued to control the ball on the Lakers side.
This time, Varejao didn't take the initiative to defend Lin Tian alone. It was impossible for him to keep up with Lin Tian's footsteps, so he chose to wait on the inside.
The task of defending Lin Tian was also handed over to JR Smith.
He could have hit jr Smith with his back, but Lin Tian chose to change direction.
Jr Smith was passed by him with two steps, Varejao on the inside line saw this, his eyes lit up, he hurriedly took a step forward to block Lin Tian's advance route, covered his crotch with both hands, and made the defensive action he often does.
The sudden appearance of Varejao caught Lin Tian a little off guard, and it was too late to take the European step.
The moment Lin Tian's shoulder touched Varejao, Varejao flew out instantly, and his back slid two meters away on the floor.
Beep!
The referee immediately blew his whistle and awarded Lin Tian an offensive foul.
Lin Tian showed a puzzled expression.
Bryant also walked up to the referee to question.
The audience at the scene even booed bursts, and all scolded the referee.
Scott was so angry that he almost rushed directly into the court, but was abruptly held back by two assistant coaches.
The referee has experienced this kind of battle countless times, and he still insists on the original judgment with a big heart.
Lin Tian's mind was blank at this time, and he could even hear the complaints of many fans:
"Damn it! It's a flop! Is the referee's brain made of shit? Can't you tell?"
"This guy Varejao is a habitual offender. People who don't know think he was hit by a tank just now!"
"Varejao's acting skills are terrible! But the referee was fooled by his poor acting skills, how ridiculous!"
"It's time to take care of the league's referees! The NBA will be ruined by these guys sooner or later! Ugly game!"
Spectator complaints did not have much impact on the game.
After the game continued, Lin Tian insisted on staying on the field.
If the 4 fouls made him fearful of playing, then with the 5 fouls in hand, now he doesn't even dare to reach out easily on the defensive end.
The Cavaliers are obviously aware of this, and Irving even started to take the initiative to find Lin Tian for singles.
Lin Tian didn't dare to use all his strength to defend. When facing Owen, it would be difficult to defend the opponent.
Varejao then wanted to foul Lin Tian and send Lin Tian down, but he couldn't fool the referee.
Tai Lue also found that Varejao had provoked public anger, and quickly replaced Varejao with Jefferson.
For the Cavaliers, Varejao has successfully completed the task assigned to him by Tyronn Lue.
Taking advantage of Lin Tian's foul troubles, the Cavaliers continued to widen the point difference.
After three quarters, the Lakers trailed by 12 points.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Scott temporarily arranged for Lin Tian to rest.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers are out of the best, and James began to take care of everything.
Except for Lin Tian, no one on the Lakers side can match up with James, and pj Tucker can't guard against James.
Irving and Love also blossomed on the perimeter one after another.
Seeing that the point difference was about to run to 20 points, Lin Tian returned to the court.
His arrival did not improve the situation of the Lakers, but continued to be targeted by James and Irving.
They are very smart. In singles, Lin Tian only breaks through and does not make long-range shots, and even the difficulty of breaking through is so high.
Lin Tian was always worried that the referee would blow his whistle.
However, the referee became much calmer and did not blow his whistle for a long time.
The point difference in the game has been widened more and more.
When there are 5 minutes left in the game, it has become garbage time.
Scott no longer gave Lin Tian a chance to be expelled, and replaced Lin Tian.
In the end, the G4 battle between the two sides came to an end, the score was fixed at 109:80, and the Cavaliers evened the big score to 2:2.
This game is also the lowest score in a single game for the Lakers in recent times.
The home fans left Staples unwillingly.
Lin Tian was also very annoyed. It was a good situation for the Lakers, but now it has become on the same starting line as the Cavaliers.
Knowing that Lin Tian was very depressed, Kobe touched Lin Tian's head immediately after the game: "Lin, the Cavaliers are not a fuel-efficient lamp. LeBron is always able to observe the situation on the court rationally. He came here for you today! We can accept failure, but we must also grow from failure. He taught you a lesson."
