Chapter 146 A 25-point reversal!Lin Tian kills the Raptors!
After scoring the goal, Kobe celebrated with a clenched fist.
But now is not the time to relax, the Raptors are already serving.
The five players of the Lakers rushed to the Raptors' half court first and settled down, waiting for the opponent's next attack.
48 seconds left.
The Raptors have never played a fast break since the start of the fourth quarter.
With only 48 seconds left, the Raptors can play a fast break.
If they don't make this fast break, they will have at least one more offensive round.
After Lowry dribbled the ball across the half, Nick Young increased his defensive intensity and stepped forward to press directly.
It is very dangerous for a big guard like him to directly press the small man one-on-one.
Because the small man can often get rid of the big man in an instant with a speed advantage.
But Nick Young didn't realize this, and when he did, it was too late.
Lowry is worthy of being a small steel cannon. Facing Nick Young's pressure, he suddenly dribbled the ball with his back and skillfully shook Nick Young away.
When Lin Tian had no time to make up the defense, Lowry rushed into the inside and scored the ball against Howard who was defending.
This offensive round only took them 10 seconds.
There are 38 seconds left in the game!
When Howard was about to serve, Scott called a timeout.
The advantage for the Lakers now is that there is still a timeout.
They have been playing against the Raptors since the beginning of the fourth quarter, so the previous timeouts were almost all called by the Raptors.
Now two points behind and less than 1 minute left in the clock, if we don't call a timeout, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to call it again.
Nick Yang put his head in his hands and walked to the bench with regret on his face.
It is rare for him to blame himself like this. Even if he made a mistake before, he would not take it seriously.
Things are different today.
They were already ready to accept failure, but Lin Tian let him see the hope of a comeback.
If he loses in the end, it will be an extremely heavy blow to his confidence.
Lin Tian patted Nick Young on the shoulder: "Nick! You have been working hard to defend against him! I saw it, it was an accident."
Nick Yang raised his head, his eyes were firm: "Next time I will never let him pass me by so easily!"
Scott rearranged tactics.
The team is currently behind by two points, with 38 seconds left, so it is natural to have a detailed tactical plan.
Scott, holding a marker pen, kept scribbling and drawing on the tactical board: "We also want to play a fast break..."
In less than a minute, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the timeout.
According to the tactics arranged by Scott, the Lakers will also play a fast break next, and Lin Tianlai will be responsible for pitching.
Of course, the premise is that his shooting conditions can't be too bad.
Both players return to the field.
Their closing lineup remains unchanged from just now.
Nick Young still continues to play, and his personal offensive ability is indeed stronger than Russell and Clarkson at present.
The team's offensive round naturally has to put Nick Young on the court.
Nick Young stood alone outside the sideline, took the ball from the referee, and was about to send a sideline kick.
The four Lakers players on the court quickly began to move.
Among them, Lin Tian and Kobe made a cross run, and then there was a short chance to catch the ball.
Nick Yang looked at the right time and served the ball to Lin Tian.
The moment Lin Tian received the ball from Nick Yang, Lin Tian started!
Seeing this, Carol realized something was wrong, and chased Lin Tian with all his strength.
His speed was not as fast as Lin Tian's after all, and he was thrown off by Lin Tian in the blink of an eye.
The center forward of the Raptors at this time is Biyombo. Seeing Lin Tian descending like a tiger, he showed fierce eyes and opened his hands to take off to intercept.
Lin Tian did not forcefully dunk this time, but passed the ball spiritually to Howard behind Biyombo.
After Howard received the ball, he bent over quickly, jumped hard, and jumped up.
boom!
The basketball smashed into the basket and boomed!He hung his hands on the basket for two seconds, and then jumped off after his center of gravity stabilized.
With the completion of this dunk, Howard did not forget to roar at Bi Yongbo.
He has long been unhappy with Biyombo!
The Lakers spent less than five seconds on this attack, with 33 seconds left in the game
The problem was once again thrown to the Raptors.
33 seconds, which means they can no longer play fast break like the last round.
The best way to attack is to slowly consume the 24 seconds of attack time!Try to make the Lakers have less time to attack next time.
Lowry has the ball, and he crosses half court seemingly unhurriedly.
The more it came to this time, the calmer he became.
Having experienced so many big scenes, Lowry's ability to control the court is not comparable to that of ordinary point guards. He was the All-Star starter last season!
The Air Canada Arena also became extremely quiet at this moment.
Some fans didn't even dare to breathe loudly, as if they were afraid of affecting the Raptors.
In the huge stadium, there is only the sound of the ball hitting the ground.
Time is passing by every minute and every second!Everyone is waiting for the Raptors' offense.
Finally, with 8 seconds left in the offensive round, the Raptors players began to move according to the tactics.
Lowry also tried to break through Nick Young, but Nick Young, who suffered a loss once, was never fooled again.
After trying it out and finding it wasn't very good, Lowry habitually started looking for DeRozan.
But Kobe has been tightly wrapped around DeRozan from beginning to end, preventing DeRozan from having any chance to catch the ball.
This is his most focused defense in the game!Almost burning myself to the fullest!
The other Raptors players, namely Carroll, had a slightly better position to receive the ball, but thinking of Lin Tian who was defending Carroll, Lowry hesitated.
It would be fine to let him pass the ball to a role player, but the problem is Lin Tian defending him!Probably let Carol catch the ball on purpose!
Now that this game has been played, Lowry has known for a long time that Lin Tian is an extremely terrifying defender, and sometimes he even shows his flaws on purpose...
And whether he exposed a flaw or a trap, it's really hard to say!
In just a blink of an eye, Lowry had already decided to play singles by himself!
When the breakthrough failed, he quickly hit Nick Young with his back!
Although Lowry is only 183 centimeters, his confrontation ability is actually not weak.
Nick Young also felt the pressure at this time, he gritted his teeth: "Hey! Shorty! Don't even try to shoot the ball over my head!"
It was as if Lowry didn't hear Nick Young's words. After he squeezed a few steps inside, he suddenly turned around and chose a jumper!
Nick Young didn't expect Lowry to make a sudden shot at all. He jumped hard to block the shot.
The two bodies made contact in the air!
After Lowry made a strong shot, he fell to the ground.
beep!
The referee immediately blew his whistle.
The basketball finally hit the basket and missed!
Nick Young immediately spread his hands, and walked towards the referee in the corner with a suspicious face: "Hey! Where is the foul on this ball? This is a very clean defense!"
The referee ignored Nick Young and gestured towards the technical table: No. 0 defensive foul, two free throws for the offensive player!
There were continuous cheers at the scene.
In any case, as long as there are free throws, it is a good thing for them!
Scott scratched his head anxiously on the sidelines, and kept repeating this to the referee.
Lin Tian, who was standing on the flank, was not sure whether the ball was fouled just now. He walked up to Scott and said, "Coach! Quickly apply for a challenge from the coach!"
At the same time, his right hand is constantly doing the motion of applying to watch the replay.
Regardless of whether the challenge is successful or not, there is nothing wrong with applying for the head coach challenge, and the players can also take a break.
But facing Lin Tian's words, Scott was stunned: "Challenge? What challenge?"
Scott's words reminded Lin Tian.
Now it is the 2015-2016 season, the NBA has no so-called "head coach challenge" rule at all...
Lin Tian's mentality collapsed, and he resentfully said: "It's nothing."
There was no challenge from the head coach, and the referee didn't intend to watch the replay at all. He insisted that Nick Young had fouled just now.
Nick Young stood sullenly on the wing, having played impeccably in the first few quarters.
But in the last minute, he made two fatal mistakes in a row!
Nick Young is also deeply aware that his defense is indeed too bad.
Facing the warm cheers from the audience, Lowry walked to the free throw line.
He's made more than 80 percent of his free throws this season, and he's confident in those two free throws.
The first free throw hit without any surprise!
When the second free throw was about to start, Lin Tian and Howard stood together and got ready to grab a rebound.
Lowry throws the ball and it still hits!
beep!
Scott calls timeout again.
Players from both sides return to their benches.
There were 12 seconds left in the fourth quarter at this point.
After more than two hours of hard work, it is very likely that the winner will be decided in the last 12 seconds.
There is no doubt that the Lakers are now a passive side, and 12 seconds of offensive time is definitely not enough.
They can't make another mistake because they're two points behind now.
The head coaches on both sides are arranging tactics in full swing, and the entire arena seems to have become restless.
The short pause was so short that Scott couldn't even finish a few sentences.
When the players were on the court, he kept telling everyone to let go of all the burdens.
Kobe said to Lin Tian: "Lin! Don't put too much pressure on yourself! We have done a good job today!"
Off the court just now, Scott had already decided to let Lin Tianlai make the last shot, and the tactic he arranged was still a three-point shot.
They are not going to play overtime. When they are behind by two points, they will either kill the game with three points or lose.
Scott also took into account the team's situation in doing so.
The Lakers have been playing the Raptors back-to-back today. Compared with the Raptors who are waiting for work, the players must not be as strong as their opponents.
It is definitely not a good thing for the Lakers to play overtime.
Of course, if there is a good opportunity to shoot a two-pointer later, they will not have to force a three-pointer.
This time, it was Nick Young who was in charge of serving. He made two mistakes in a row. Scott still chose to believe him because of his strong three-point ability!
The lineup that the Raptors have replaced this time has changed, and it is the most powerful defensive lineup that Coach Casey believes.
Anyway, they have no chance to attack, so naturally they have to send out the best defensive players.
The referee gave the ball to Nick Young, and with a defender constantly interfering with his vision, he looked for a teammate to pass.
The Raptors' running defense is very targeted, and they basically follow their defensive players closely.
Lin Tian still ran extremely fast to get a short chance to catch the ball.
After receiving the ball from Nick Young, he didn't rush to dribble, but silently observed the Raptors' defensive formation!
The "defence" yelled by the home fans seemed to overturn the arena.
The tidy and deafening voice reached Lin Tian's ears, which actually made his heart beat a little faster.
The Raptors' defensive formation this time is also extremely simple, they follow the Lakers very closely!And players generally rely on the outside.
Obviously, they are denying the Lakers the chance to shoot three-pointers.
As long as the Lakers don't shoot [-]s, they're invincible in regulation, or at worst in overtime.
Coach Casey still has something.
Looking back at the timer above the backboard again, the time is passing by quickly.
8 second……
7 second……
6 second……
Until there were 5 seconds left in the attack time, Lin Tian dribbled the ball and rushed to the inside!
Carroll didn't seem to have thought that Lin Tian would break into the inside line, and it was difficult for him to keep up with Lin Tian.
What surprised Lin Tian was that when he hit the inside, the Raptors players on the weak side gave up the idea of coming to help defend!Always stick to their own people!
This shows that Nick Young and Channing Frye, who are located in the bottom corners on both sides, have absolutely no chance of shooting a lore!
Kobe was also standing on the wing at this time, ready to catch and shoot at any time, but DeRozan defended him very well!
For Lin Tian, this is the best time for him to rush inside and score!The hit rate will never be low!
But in just two seconds, he had already decided to shoot a three-pointer!
So, when almost passing Carol, Lin Tian slammed on the brakes to stabilize his figure, and took a step back in a very chic way!After lowering his head and glancing at the three-point line, he threw the ball towards the basket!
Carol never expected that Lin Tian would choose to make a strong three-pointer at such a critical time!
So much so that his defense didn't keep up.
The three-pointer with a step back is the most difficult to defend!What's more, Lin Tian is still so tall!
hum...
The buzzer sounded to represent the end of the game!The ball is still flying in the air!
The eyes of the [-] spectators and staff at the scene were all focused on the basketball that was still in flight!
Under everyone's gaze, as if deliberately causing a little suspense, the basketball first hit the basket and bounced almost straight.
Howard and Biyombo on the inside took off at the same time, and neither of them dared to touch the basketball, because if they touched at this time, they would [-]% be called interference balls.
When the basketball fell, it landed on the basket again and bounced again!
The mood of all the audience was tense because of this basketball!
Some home fans even couldn't help blowing hard, wishing to blow the basketball's falling trajectory in a wrong way!
But they failed to do so!
After the basketball bounced on the rim for the third time, it finally fell into the rim rather restlessly.
Instantly!The whole arena is quiet!The Raptors fans who were excited for the whole game fell to the bottom of their mood in an instant, and sighed continuously.
A few unacceptable fans even couldn't help spilling the beer in their hands.
Lin Tian completed a three-point lore!
Kobe, who was closest to Lin Tian, was so happy that he threw himself on Lin Tian's back like a "fat man" weighing more than 200 kilograms!
Nick Young, Howard and the others also rushed towards Lin Tian.
The players on the Lakers bench danced with excitement, celebrating today's shocking comeback in their own way!
The home fans of the Air Canada Arena were shocked at the beginning, then disappointed, and finally turned into congratulations. Many Raptors fans spontaneously applauded the Lakers. They knew that the performance of the Lakers today deserved their applause.
