Chapter 209 If You Didn't Stop Me!I'll beat him until his teeth are all over the place!
Back in the second half, the starting lineups of both sides remained unchanged.
Donovan found that after the first half of the experiment, Durant really couldn't defend Lin Tian alone, so he could only continue to adopt a double-team strategy.
At least G1's double-teaming effect on Lin Tian was good.
The sudden double-team did cause Lin Tian to make a mistake as soon as he came up, and the Thunder took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
However, Lin Tian adjusted immediately, increased his passing, and drove his teammates more.
With the assistance of Lin Tian, Kobe and Tucker hit consecutive key three-pointers, always allowing the Lakers to lead the Thunder.
On the defensive end, Tucker's defense has become much smarter now.
His height is much worse than that of Ibaka, so when Ibaka is inside and wants the ball, he often chooses to go around and defend.
This defensive method makes it difficult for Ibaka to receive Westbrook's pass. In many cases, why run can only face Nick Young singles.
Nick Young has occasionally played brilliantly on the defensive end, but he still needs Lin Tian's help in many cases.
Lin Tian has to defend Durant alone and defend Westbrook. As the game progresses, his physical strength is also exhausted.
Howard, who fought Adams in the interior, did not work as hard as Lin Tian!
Barkley and Smith in the NBA official studio naturally saw this scene.
Barkley couldn't help but said: "This guy Lin! He even restrained the Thunder's two leading stars by himself!"
"You know who I am, I never brag about a certain player too much, but after watching this Chinese player play, what else can you ask him to do?"
Smith also nodded affirmatively: "Lin's lateral movement speed is the fastest I have ever seen! This allows him to quickly help his teammates defend."
"I think after this game, Nick Young must treat Lin to a meal!"
"Haha! You and I think the same thing, but before that, let's talk about winning the game first!"
……
Penguin Sports Live.
Even though it was early morning in Tianchao time, the popularity of the live broadcast room was still high, with a full 4800 million popularity.
The barrage is rolling every minute and every second:
"Fuck! Lin Tian's defense! It's even more outrageous than Leonard's death entanglement!"
"I thought there would be no suspense in today's match, but I didn't expect it to be evenly matched, Lin Tianniu!"
"Lin Tian's performance is not in vain. I stayed up late tonight! Brothers, are you right?"
"When Lin Tian puts all his energy on defense, no one can pass him! I said it!"
"Come on! If the big score becomes 2:2, the pressure will be on the Thunder!"
……
After the start of the final quarter, Lin Tian had no intention of taking a rest, just like the last game.
Thunder head coach Donovan saw that Lin Tian meant to finish the game. He turned back to the team's assistant coach with an ugly face and said, "Damn it! Is the opponent really planning not to let that Chinese kid rest for a while?"
Donovan, who has always been accustomed to a six-man rotation, was shocked by such a tactical arrangement.
You know, in the first three quarters, Lin Tian only rested for less than 4 minutes!
If the fourth quarter is played from beginning to end, Lin Tian's playing time today will reach 43 minutes or more.
The Lakers were already leading, and Lin Tian came on the bench with a few substitutes, and the effect was pretty good.
This made Donovan dare not let the Thunder take a little more rest, and hurriedly replaced the two.
Another familiar ending lineup.
The Thunder's tactic is finally no longer to let Westbrook take the ball and rush in alone.
When they are in the offensive round, they play more off-ball screens to create opportunities.
The effect of this style of play was immediate, and the score was gradually narrowed by the Thunder.
The end of the game is getting closer and closer, and the Lakers fans at the scene are getting more and more nervous.
Whenever Lin Tian takes the ball, there will be sparse voices of "MVP".
And when the Thunder were attacking, the fans were fully involved in the game, yelling "defence" to put pressure on the Thunder.
With 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Kobe took off the ice pack and returned to the field with a firm gaze.
As soon as he came on the court, he raised a knife and threw a three-pointer, which caused the audience to scream again and again.
In the last few games, Kobe's three-point shots have increased tremendously, and his shooting percentage has reached a terrifying 40%!
The threat he poses to opponents in the playoffs is much greater than in the regular season.
The one who defended Kobe was still a player like Robertson who started from defense, which can better reflect Kobe's offensive value in the playoffs.
Facing Kobe and Tucker, who are accurate three-pointers, the Thunder were embarrassed.
If they choose to double-team Lin Tian, they will inevitably leak vacancies.
Lin Tian's playing style is obviously more mature than that of G1 and G2. Before being double-teamed, most of the time he was able to get the ball out smoothly, which made the Thunder helpless.
However, the Thunder obviously did not intend to surrender, Westbrook and Durant began to play pick and roll.
The way the two play pick-and-rolls is often that Durant plays the pick-and-roll for Westbrook first, and Westbrook attracts Lin Tian's defense and then gives the ball to Durant.
In this way, the Lakers are equivalent to switching defenses, and Durant will single out Nick Young.
Durant is taller than Nick Young, and his athletic ability is better than Nick Young, so it's no problem to beat Nick Young.
When the point difference slowly narrowed, the Lakers completely slowed down the pace.
They are the leading side, and they don't need to score points against the Thunder. They can drag the Thunder to death as long as they delay the rhythm.
Every time Lin Tian holds the ball, he has to wait until the last seven seconds before attacking.
The Thunder no longer dare to double-team Lin Tian easily, and it is not too difficult for Lin Tian to single Durant.
Unknowingly, the game has come to the last minute, and the Lakers still lead by 1 points.
After the Thunder had the ball, Westbrook dribbled the ball for half the court, and at the critical moment, he gave the ball to Durant at the top of the arc.
The other players spread out quickly, leaving Durant with a lot of space in the paint.
Durant looked at Lin Tian, who was covered in sweat, but did not choose to break through. Instead, after shaking Lin Tian for a while, he directly made a three-pointer.
Lin Tian struggled to take off but failed to cover the ball. After he landed, he quickly turned his head to look at the trajectory of the basketball.
"Bang!"This ball hits the iron!
Howard quickly took off and grabbed the key rebound.
When the Thunder's inside opened up space for Durant, they basically gave up rebounding. After all, the Lakers' inside position is much better.
The missed shot had a great impact on the morale of the Thunder, and Donovan also called a timeout.
When Westbrook was off the court, he patted Durant's butt to express his encouragement.
Donovan was a little angry because Durant didn't play according to his tactical arrangement.
According to Donovan's pre-arranged tactics, Durant should have rushed in to hit the ball just now. Who knew Durant made a simple three-pointer.
If this is in the NCAA, Donovan, who has a good temper, would have lost his temper.
But this is the NBA, and the people standing in front of him are not a group of college basketball students.
On the Lakers side, Scott was very satisfied with the team's defense just now. He clapped his hands vigorously: "Good job! This is how we want to play!"
After these words, he quickly arranged for the Lakers' offense in the next round.
Beep……
Before Scott had finished arranging the offensive tactics, the referee had already blown his whistle.
The players returned to the field, the Lakers served, and Lin Tian dribbled the ball himself.
The Thunder did not dare to double-team him, because Kobe's spot-up shooting was too accurate today.
Durant took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Lin Tian, as if he wanted to eat Lin Tian.
Such a focused Durant also gave Lin Tian a great sense of oppression.
But his mentality has always been very good. While dribbling, he looks at the timer from the corner of his eye from time to time.
The attack time passed by second by second, until there were 7 seconds left, Lin Tiancai began to dribble heavily.
When Crossover was used, even though Durant was already concentrating on defending, he was still passed by Lin Tianhuang.
The Thunder's Ibaka and Adams have been very relieved of Durant's single defense at critical moments.
But they never expected that Durant would be passed by Lin Tian so easily!
Ibaka reacted quickly. Seeing Lin Tian rushing to the inside, he immediately gave up defending Tucker and went straight to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian's extremely fast speed did not give Ibaka a chance to catch up with him. After he took off, he picked the ball to the basket.
Ibaka was late, and unwilling to do so, he forcibly tore Lin Tian down in mid-air.
Beep...
At the same time as the referee blew the whistle, the basketball just fell into the frame. Ibaka's foul was a bit late after all.
Lin Tian, who was dragged to the ground by Ibaka, was fine. He jumped three feet high and was about to settle accounts with Ibaka. Tucker, Nick Young and Howard were already aggressively pushing Ibaka.
Beep beep beep...
Several referees immediately rushed over to block the crowd and stopped the conflict in time.
Lin Tian tidied up his jersey and twisted his neck, but he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
Ibaka has never been a good guy on the court.
If there is a villain in the Thunder who is responsible for dealing with other teams, that person can only be Ibaka.
He knew very well that if Lin Tian scored the ball just now, the game could basically be declared over, that's why he seemed so anxious.
However, judging from the referee's gestures, the ball has been awarded, and he has to watch the replay to judge whether to execute an additional penalty.
The players had a short rest time, and Lin Tian also returned to the bench surrounded by his teammates.
Nick Yang still said indignantly: "That guy Ibaka can't afford to lose! If you didn't stop me! I would beat him to the ground!"
Howard said with a smile: "Haha! Nick, you are right, I believe you can beat him."
Lin Tian knows Nick Young quite well. He has never been a timid person, and he is willing to stand up for his teammates.
Besides him, Tucker and Howard are not easy to mess with.
Behind the Lakers' bench, Buss Jr. also got up and yelled at the Thunder's bench: "Do you dare to play cleanly?"
The current Lin Tian is the Lakers' cash cow. Even if he gets injured, Bass doesn't want to see Lin Tian get hurt.
The fans at home were also extremely dissatisfied with Ibaka's rather dangerous action just now:
"Damn! Ibaka wants to mess up again!"
"Sure enough! The Thunder can't afford to lose! They even started using dirty moves!"
"It is well known that Ibaka plays dirty, but this guy still thinks he is so-called tough! It's ridiculous!"
"Using the action just now, Ibaka should be expelled directly!"
……
Xiaoxue, who was sitting in the media seat, was also nervous for a while when she saw Lin Tian being dragged off by Ibaka.
When she found that Lin Tian got up alive again, she was relieved, and it seemed that there should be nothing serious.
After watching the replay, the referee quickly awarded Ibaka a malicious foul.
While Lin Tian scored the goal just now, he also had a free throw.
Amidst the "MVP" shouts from all the fans, Lin Tian stood at the free throw line.
He took the referee's pass, spun the ball twice on his palm, and threw it steadily.
Swish!
The ball went in!The score was stretched to 8 points!
The Lakers serve from the sideline, Nick Young sends the ball to Lin Tian, and Lin Tian passes the ball to Kobe.
With 30 seconds left in the game, Robertson tried to intercept the ball, but failed. In the end, he could only choose to foul Kobe.
Kobe stood at the free throw line, made two free throws, and the score was stretched to 10 points!Basically tantamount to killing the game completely.
After the Thunder served, Westbrook quickly advanced with the ball. At this time, the Lakers were very loose on the inside, just to let the Thunder score two points.
Westbrook knew that two points could not save the team, so he shot a three-pointer.
Bang!
Tucker took off to protect the rebound.
There were only more than 10 seconds left in the time, and the Thunder's general situation was over, and they did not resort to foul tactics, and let the time run out.
The Lakers finally defeated the Thunder 108:98, rewriting the big score to 2:2.
Except for the players of the Lakers, nothing is more exciting than Buss Jr.!
He has been thinking about the ticket issue for the sixth game!Finally, he did not let him down!
Even if the Lakers lose in G5, G6 will return to the Lakers to play home games.
Tickets for a game in the playoffs are much more expensive than the regular season.
林天并不知道小巴斯在盘算什么，一一和队友撞肩过后，他才有时间看自己的数据：43分6篮板8助攻3抢断1盖帽3失误。
Although his number of steals today is not as good as that of G3, he also restrained Durant very well, and his defense against Westbrook was also in place.
However, his playing time today is very long, close to 44 minutes, so that at this moment the whole person feels like he is going to collapse.
科比今天也发挥出色，砍下22分4篮板3助攻，其中三分球7投4中。
Among the "Big Three", Howard, who scored the least, also scored 18 points and 13 rebounds.
The team can win, and his hand-to-hand combat in the interior is also indispensable.
Today's game is also the most intense game played in this round of the series so far.
It can be seen from Ibaka's malicious foul that the conflict between the two sides will only become more and more intense, especially inside.
The news that the Lakers were beaten 2-0 by the Thunder and then won two games in a row quickly swept the headlines of major sports media.
