In just a few tens of seconds, Lin Tian had already grabbed 4 rebounds!
The point is, this is still a precious offensive rebound.
Whether it was Towns or Wiggins, their mentality was broken by the Lakers' offensive round.
Scott on the sidelines waved his fist excitedly: "Lin! Well done! That's what it is!"
When Lin Tian returned to defense, Kobe smiled and patted his butt. It was hard for him not to be dissatisfied with Lin Tian's performance.
Next came the Timberwolves' offensive round.
After Rubio passed the ball to Towns, Towns, whose mentality was affected, shot a ball quite casually, but missed again. This time it was Howard who grabbed the rebound.
The ball quickly returned to Lin Tian's hands, and the match against Wiggins aroused Lin Tian's competitiveness.
Lin Tian pretended to break through, and after shaking off Wiggins, he took a step back and made a three-pointer!
Swish!The ball crashed into the net!Another three-pointer!
……
With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, Lin Tiancai, who scored 20 points and 6 rebounds, took a break in sweat. They had already led by 13 points.
Kobe, Howard, and Channing Frye were also resting with Lin Tian.
In this section, Kobe did not consume much energy.
Since Lin Tian came to the Lakers, Kobe's offensive pressure and defensive pressure have decreased a lot.
His shooting percentage, from 37% at the beginning of the season, is slowly rising towards 40%.
Kobe just scored 1 points on 1-of-2 shooting in the first quarter, but he was sitting on the bench with a big smile on his face.
Howard only scored 5 points in the first quarter.
Several people sat together, laughing and chatting about the situation on the court.
Channing Frye was a little frustrated: "Damn! I feel terrible today!"
In the first quarter, Channing Frye made a total of 4 three-pointers and made 4 of 0 shots.
These 4 opportunities were all passed by Lin Tian to him, and two of them were wide open.
Lin Tian patted Channing Frye on the shoulder: "Channing! Never question your shot. When I pass the ball to you, even if you have missed dozens of shots before, don't hesitate! Believe that the next ball can always be scored!"
Channing Frye wiped the sweat from his brow and nodded solemnly.
Howard suddenly laughed and said, "Channing! Don't worry! If you missed the shot, Lin and I will be under the basket. No one can take the rebound from us!"
Then, he looked at Lin Tian again: "Lin! You got more rebounds than me in the first quarter!"
Lin Tian said with a smile: "The main reason is that you are too well locked, which gives me a good chance to grab rebounds."
"Hahahaha!" Howard laughed, "You guy, you speak so nicely? Listen! You can tell me if you want to get a double pair!"
"No no no!" Lin Tian shook his head hastily, "I just want to win."
With his current athletic ability, if he wants to get a double-double, it is as simple as drinking water. There is no need for Howard to give himself rebounds.
Howard nodded, feeling more and more fond of Lin Tian.
The three returned their attention to the field.
This time period is the time for the substitute to play.
The lead created by the starting lineup keeps them from being under too much pressure.
In fact, as a nerve knife, Nick Young has a strong ability to resist pressure.
Clarkson's offensive ability is also beyond doubt.
With Nance Jr. guarding the inside, it is not an easy task for the Timberwolves to score inside.
Wiggins is still on the court. Regardless of Wiggins being called Goji, his average playing time this season is not low, exceeding 35 minutes, and he has not missed even a regular season.
The Timberwolves led by him did not succeed in chasing points during the bench time.
After the first quarter, the Lakers still led by 14 points.
Within 2 minutes of the start of the second quarter, Lin Tian returned to the court. He played the 4th position and Nance Jr. played the 5th position.
As for Kobe and Howard, they are still resting, and the two of them also have a reason to rest.
As soon as the basketball was in Lin Tian's hands, he couldn't wait to start showing off his personal offense.
At this time, it was Timberwolves substitute striker Shabazz Mohamed who defended Lin Tian.
Wiggins had nothing to do with Lin Tian when defending him, let alone the striker.
He tore through the Timberwolves' defense time and time again and rushed inside to score, forcing the Timberwolves' head coach to double-team Lin Tian's defense.
Sam Mitchell thought that this would make Lin Tian fearful, but Lin Tian didn't mean to reduce his shot at all.
Facing the strict defense of the Timberwolves, every ball Lin Tian throws is very difficult!But the hit rate is higher!
In terms of defense, Lin Tian also spared no effort to fulfill his responsibilities at the 4th position. He should make up for the defense, help in the defense, and be meticulous when it is time to grab rebounds.
Lin Tian was so focused that Kobe and Howard, who were sitting on the bench, were stunned.
His personal scoring continues to grow, and his rebounds are getting more and more.
Even when Kobe and Howard returned to the court again, Lin Tian, who played in excellent form, did not pass the ball much to them.
He has already played in an extremely rare state, so Lin Tian naturally doesn't want to pass the ball that much.
After halftime, Lin Tian scored 40 points and 10 rebounds, completing the first double-double of his career!
The Lakers have already led the Timberwolves by 25 points.
After returning to the shabby away locker room, Nick Yang and the others surrounded Lin Tian and started booing:
"Hahaha! Lin! The first double-double in his career! It took only halftime to complete it! Amazing!"
"There are not many players who get double-doubles at halftime, but there are very few players who get 40+10 data at halftime!"
"According to this style of play! After today's game, don't you want to score 80 points in a single game?"
"Don't worry! Lin won't score 80 points today." Howard said, "Because of the strength of the Timberwolves, he doesn't have to finish the fourth quarter."
……
Since the start of the third quarter, the Lakers have been playing against the Timberwolves, not giving them any chance to counterattack.
The two core players, Towns and Wiggins, saw that they had no hope of chasing points, but they also became Buddhists. They could only start to collect personal data.
By the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves were already 30 points behind!
However, Timberwolves fans rarely leave early.
They have a high tolerance for the two No. [-] picks. After all, one is a freshman and the other is a sophomore. It takes time to grow.
But even so, many fans still complained:
"Oh! After watching today's game, I feel like the cooked duck is flying! Towns, the best rookie, probably won't get it."
"To be honest, I don't see any blood in Andrew and Carl, they beat like jerks!"
"Our team is really terrible! Is this going to compete for this year's No. [-] pick again? Damn it!"
"Based on what you said, we do seem to have the hope of winning the No. [-] pick for three consecutive years...Damn the management!"
