Chapter 128 Drummond was expelled!
Chapter 128 Drummond was expelled!
The head coach of the Pistons hurriedly applied for a substitution.
Drummond swears and walks to the bench.
Pistons backup center Aaron Baynes was on the court earlier than usual.
His average playing time this season is only 15 minutes, and I am afraid that he will have to take on more tasks today.
The following time is a good opportunity for the Lakers to open up the score.
Lin Tian did not miss this opportunity.
He chose to single Morris many times, and he was able to hit almost every time.
Morris moves too slowly!He is a player with distinctive characteristics, and his offensive ability is obviously stronger than his defensive ability.
Letting him defend Lin Tian is no longer as simple as being at a disadvantage.
Morris defended Lin Tian for several rounds, but the effect was extremely poor, so he decisively switched defenses with Pope.
As a shooting guard, Pope is quite fast, but he is 1.96 meters tall and weighs less than Lin Tian.
Lin Tian could have attacked him, but he chose to fight back and force him more easily.
The inside lines of the two teams are not at the same level at this time.
Baynes was originally a substitute, so how could he stand up to Howard.
The two sides played like this for 8 minutes, and the Lakers led by 12 points.
Lin Tian and Kobe took a break. Looking at Howard running across the court, Kobe had a smile on his face: "Lin! It seems that you are right."
Hearing this, Lin Tian showed doubts.
Kobe continued: "The arrival of Dwight has indeed brought great changes to our inside line. His defense is exactly what we need!"
As he was talking, Howard hit another volleyball cap against Reggie Jackson who rushed inside.
This block is a big blow to the Pistons.
Lin Tian smiled and said: "When I play again later, they will not be able to score in the paint."
At this time, Scott walked up to Lin Tian and said solemnly: "Lin, you may have to play number 5 for a few minutes later."
Since the Lakers traded Hibbert and Randall away, they are in a hurry inside.
Although they still have a center Ryan Kelly, this center has basically been given up by Scott, and there are very few opportunities to play this season.
In addition, Channing Frye has not yet officially reported. Strictly speaking, the Lakers can only use three players inside.
Lin Tian didn't have any opinion: "No problem."
It's not that he hasn't played the 5th position before. Besides, the small ball style is popular now. The Warriors' Dream Chaser Green is less than two meters tall.
After playing for 3 minutes in the second quarter, Lin Tian and Kobe played, replacing Howard and Nance Jr.
The lineup of the Lakers on the court is completely a small lineup!
Lin Tian hit the 5th position!Nick Young, who is only 2.01 meters, was pushed to the 4th position.
Anthony Brown, who has little chance to play, plays the 3 position.
Kobe played the No. 2 position, and Clarkson played the No. 1 position.
Such a lineup stunned the entire audience.
"Haha! Nick Young at the [-]! Reminds me of the days when Luke Walton coached the Lakers!"
"The Lakers' recent trades have stretched their players! That's a good thing!"
"We must seize this opportunity!"
"Andre is on the scene! He'll tear up that stunned guy from the Lakers in the paint!"
"The rookie of the Lakers wants to play against Andre at the 5th position? Are they going to send points?"
In the studio, Barkley and Smith also discussed Scott's substitution.
Barkley touched his chin and said, "Scott should give Ryan Kelly a chance! It's not a good choice for Lin to line up with Drummond."
Smith is also very easy on Barkley's words: "Yes! That guy just dunked Drummond just now, and let them go straight to the line. The smell of gunpowder will be even heavier."
"But having said that, the Lakers lineup has the feeling of the Warriors' dead five."
"Dude! Don't make trouble! The Warriors' death five can have fun, mainly because their three-pointers are extremely accurate! The shooting percentage ranks first in the league.
On the other hand, the Lakers' three-point shooting percentage is the last. These two teams are really not comparable. "
……
After Lin Tian came on the field, he faced Drummond directly.
He could feel that Drummond's eyes looked like they were going to kill him.
The sense of humiliation of being buckled is still lingering in Drummond's mind, and he can't get rid of it.
At this time, the ball was on the side of the Pistons, and Drummond ran to the basket and tried his best to get a position.
But he soon discovered that his body weighing more than 250 kilograms could not take much advantage in the confrontation with Lin Tian!
The rookie of the Lakers looks so lean, but his legs seem to be rooted in the floor.
Did not get a good position, and Drummond couldn't control so much, and reached out to backup guard Brandon Jennings for the ball.
Jennings was once a great player, most famous for scoring 55 points in one game during his rookie season.
It's just that now it has been reduced to playing as a substitute for Reggie Jackson of the Pistons.
In a season or two, he will completely fade out of the league.
Drummond wanted the ball, but Jennings didn't dare not give it.
He passed the ball directly to Drummond inside.
It's just that Drummond's intention to ask for the ball is too direct. He wants the ball without getting stuck in his position. How can Lin Tian get used to him.
Taking advantage of the moment when Jennings passed the ball, Lin Tian rushed forward like an arrow off the string, and cut the ball away before Drummond caught it.
He held the ball in person, facing the outside players of the Pistons who had settled in early, he directly chose a one-stop layup, and no one could stop him!
When Lin Tian completed the layup, Drummond had just run halfway. The taller he is, the slower his running speed is, which is common sense.
At this time, Drummond was so angry that he stood directly near the free throw line and asked for the ball.
This time, Drummond got the ball, but it was far from the basket and completely out of his range.
He used his back against Lin Tian to play inside gouge, because of his strong body, it was indeed difficult for Lin Tian to withstand it.
But this is obviously not Drummond's usual offensive tactic.
Nick Young on the side suddenly had an idea and rushed over to double-team Drummond.
Drummond panicked, how could he have been treated like this, and as a center forward, his passing ability and passing vision are extremely poor!Averaged less than one assist per game.
He subconsciously wanted to receive the ball, Lin Tian seized the opportunity to stick to Drummond, and made a shot with his right hand, and the ball was shot by him.
Kobe picked up the ball, and he was about to play a fast break when the referee's whistle suddenly sounded!
Looking back, it turned out that Drummond fouled again.
But this time, he fouled Nick Young, because he thought that when Nick Young double-teamed, the defensive action was too big.
Obviously, Drummond couldn't bear it anymore!
Nick Young didn't hesitate either, he and Drummond's foreheads were on top of each other.
Lin Tian and other team members quickly separated the two of them, so that no greater conflict was caused.
Because Drummond made the first move, the referee fouled Drummond again!And Drummond was obviously extremely dissatisfied, and kept chattering, even swearing.
The referee Crawford was not too scared. He blew his whistle again, made a T-shaped gesture at the same time, and gave Drummond another T.
This also means that Drummond, who was blown to two Ts in this game, was expelled!
Boos sounded throughout the arena, but Crawford turned a deaf ear to it, it was just a small scene.
Nick Young clapped his hands with a smile, and waved at Drummond!It can be described as murderous.
