Chapter 10 Celestial speed! The popularity of the finals is probably nothing more than that
Lin Tian, who scored 16 points in the first quarter, was given a rest by Scott at the beginning of the second quarter.
The Lakers' lineup has become a bunch of substitutes playing haphazardly on the court.
It is worth mentioning that the Hornets' substitute guard Lin Kuang came on in the second quarter.
Lin Tian and Lin Kuangsheng had already exchanged pleasantries before the game, and when they got to the court, they were enemies.
While watching the game, Kupchak, who was sitting not far from Lin Tian, was anxiously talking on the phone.
Lin Tian's performance in the first quarter was enough for any team to offer him a high-priced contract.
Kupchak was naturally discussing Lin Tian's contract extension with team owner Jim Buss at this time.
If it really doesn't work, you can only bite the bullet and spend a lot of money to sign a contract!
With eight minutes left in the second quarter, Lin Tian came on the court and replaced Nick Young.
Scott already knows Lin Tian's playing style relatively well. He likes to play with the ball.
Therefore, it doesn't work to have too many defenders who like to play alone on the court.
It is a pity that the Lakers do not have outstanding 3D players, otherwise Lin Tian could play more comfortably.
After arriving on the court, Lin Tian and Lin Mangan smiled at each other. They understood each other tacitly without saying too many words.
At this time, the Hornets had already taken the lead.
There is no way, Russell on the Lakers likes to shoot too much.
Finally, Lin Tian came off the field, and they all wanted to score.
It happened to be Russell who was guarding Hornets star Kemba Walker.
His defense was papery, allowing Kemba Walker to score 6 points in just two minutes.
If Lin Tian doesn't play anymore, the Lakers may be widened by the Hornets.
As soon as he came on the court, he held the ball and attacked Batum directly, getting inside and causing damage.
That impeccable crossover made the Hornets' forwards and interior players struggle quite a bit.
As long as they hesitated for a moment, Lin Tian rushed inside.
Seeing Lin Tian standing on the free throw line, big-mouthed Klee said with a smile: "The Hornets' interior players probably never imagined that a rookie from the Development League could beat them like this!"
Smith noticed on the sidelines: "The Hornets owner Michael Jordan seems to be a little unable to sit still."
"Although Michael is the owner of the Hornets, he doesn't go to home games in person many times. I don't know what Michael will be thinking after seeing the performance of this young man from the Lakers today."
"Haha! Michael picked up the phone as if he was about to make a call. Doesn't he want the general manager of the Hornets to sign Lin?"
"It's really impossible to tell! Lin's 10-day short contract expires today. The Lakers' salary situation may not be able to keep him."
…
Penguin Live Room.
The ones responsible for commentating the Lakers game today are Wang Meng and Yang Yi.
Since Lin Tian rode the savior alone in the last Christmas game, there has been a frenzy of watching football in China.
No one could have imagined that in the post-Yao era, there would be such a talented player in China.
Overnight, almost all media headlines reported the incident.
Even some Chinese people who have never been exposed to basketball before know that there is a Chinese player named Lin Tian on the other side of the ocean.
This is much crazier than the "Linsanity" of the past!
The Lakers are the most popular team in China.
Now that Lin Tian is born, the popularity of the Lakers has created history!
Today's ordinary regular season live broadcast is more than twice as popular in China as the last Christmas game!
As a result, the live broadcast room occasionally experienced freezes due to too many viewers.
Even the top executives of Penguin Sports were shocked!
The popularity of the annual finals is probably just that.
Wang Mangan and Yang Yi, who have been in the industry for many years, said that the pressure has increased a lot.
They finished the second quarter with passionate commentary. At this time, Lin Tian lived up to expectations and scored 25 points, which was very efficient.
Wang Mang summarized the situation in the first half, then looked at the player data of both sides on the tablet and said: "Currently, our player Lin Tian's score is 25 points, the highest in the game!"
Yang Yi also quickly echoed: "Yes, he has continued the touch from the last game and allowed fans across the country to see what Chinese speed is!"
"Teacher Yang, as far as I know, this is the last game of Lin Tian's 10-day short contract. Fans are very curious. Will Lin Tian stay with the Lakers after tonight?" Wang Mang asked a question.
.
This is the most frequently asked question by viewers in the live broadcast room today.
Although the two commentators cannot see the real-time comments from the audience, the director and staff will pay attention to them and then feed them back.
Yang Yi adjusted his glasses: "It's really hard to say! We all know that this year's salary cap is 70 million U.S. dollars. The Lakers have triggered the luxury tax, allowing them to spend a lot of money to sign a long-term contract with Lin Tian. What they need to pay
The luxury tax is astonishing, it depends on whether the Bass family is willing to part with it."
"As far as I know, no less than 20 teams in the league have expressed interest in signing Lin Tian."
"But no matter what, the Lakers still have great hope to renew Lin Tian's contract. After all, Los Angeles' business market and the Lakers' own traffic are also things Lin Tian needs to consider."
"Teacher Yang, don't forget that Kobe is also in the Lakers. He said a lot of good things about Lin Tian before the game. It seems that he wants to add fuel to the flames."
"Yes, if Lin Tian stays with the Lakers, he can also learn a lot from Kobe."
What the two didn't know was that millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were already complaining:
"It's just a lot of nonsense going around! Who doesn't know that other teams are also interested in Lin Tian?"
"Is this the level of commentary? I can do it!"
"I am a die-hard Lakers fan! I really hope Lin Tian can stay with the Lakers!"
"I am a fan of Kobe! I am also a fan of Lin Tian. As long as Lin Tian signs with any team, I will be a fan of that team!"
"Lin Tian is awesome! China's speed!"
…
Halftime is over and the third quarter begins!
In this quarter, the Lakers still had the ball in Lin Tian's hands most of the time.
He used his gorgeous changes of direction and terrifying speed to impact the Hornets' inside line again and again!
The Hornets' forwards and interior lines have rarely been tested like this this season.
Batum, who was responsible for the defense, had been beaten to the point of doubting his life, and the number of fouls reached four.
Lin Tian completely changed his understanding of Chinese players!
Isn’t it said that the disadvantage of Chinese players is their physical fitness?
Why is this Chinese player I met today! His physical fitness is like a monster! Even if he is fast, he is so strong in changing directions!
During a breakthrough, Batum was almost knocked down by Lin Tian.
And Lin Tian's defense is also very good. Before the start of this game, Batum averaged more than 15 points per game.
In today's game, he has only made one three-pointer so far.
After the third quarter, Lin Tian had a few more minutes to rest.
He sat on the bench, wiping sweat from his forehead and looking up at the scoreboard.
Chapter completed!
