Chapter 115 The Lakers Defeat! The Lakers Are Really Trash!
Kobe first changed direction and did not shake James, so he chose to post up.
After taking a few steps inside against James, he suddenly collected the ball, turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper!
James took off to the extreme to block the shot, but failed to touch the basketball. He could only watch the ball fly towards the basket.
Whoosh!
The basketball hit the net! It made a sweet sound, and almost all the audience stood up and applauded.
Kobe used his best offensive method to score a goal against James' defense.
For his fans, witnessing this goal was worth the price of admission.
Cavaliers' offensive possession.
James passed the ball to Love at the top of the arc. Love singled out Nance Jr., squeezed under the basket, and hit a shot.
The Lakers still have Lin Tianlai leading the offense.
This time, he shot a pull-up three-pointer towards James. The angle was a little crooked and he missed the shot. Love grabbed the rebound.
In the next few rounds, the Cavaliers flourished more, but the Lakers' offense came to a standstill.
Especially when Lin Tian was inaccurate, his teammates seemed to be affected.
Lin Tian, who was not very accurate on the outside, could only kill inside frequently.
Although the Cavaliers heavily guard the interior, Lin Tian can often cause damage even if he cannot score directly after he rushes into the interior.
But considering the huge point difference between the two sides, Lin Tian's performance felt like it was a drop in the bucket.
With 4 minutes left in the game, the point difference was still widened to 20 points.
If he had fallen behind by so many points in the past, Scott would have retreated long ago.
But now he doesn't dare to call Lin Tian down to rest, because Lin Tian seems to be full of fighting spirit.
When such a big point difference appeared before, Lakers fans may have started to leave the game.
Today, almost no fans left the venue early.
The purpose of their coming here was to watch the last 23VS24 and to watch Lin Tian's performance.
The Lakers' record in recent years has numbed the team's die-hard fans.
Losing is just a common occurrence. I have played half of the games this season and have won 14 of them, which is considered acceptable.
In the next two minutes, Lin Tian felt better and scored two consecutive three-pointers, once bringing the point difference back to 14 points.
But James immediately responded with a three-pointer.
James, who didn't take many shots in the game, showed his leadership style in the fourth quarter.
The three-pointer scored by James not only successfully prevented the Lakers' counterattack, but also changed the direction and effectively killed the game.
After all, time is running out in this game.
Inside the studio.
Seeing James make that fatal three-pointer, Barkley said: "If nothing else happens, it is impossible for the Lakers to make a comeback today."
Smith also nodded: "Lin has scored 48 points today! But it still doesn't help!"
"After all, the Cavaliers are first in the Eastern Conference. Actually, none of us are surprised when such a situation occurs."
"The biggest highlight of the Lakers in this game is probably the young player Lin. He actually completed the dunk on James."
"Haha! Yes, although the Lakers are basically certain to lose, Lin is obviously a strong contender for the future number one player in the league."
…
With more than a minute left in the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers, Scott finally took the initiative to call a timeout and removed the main players.
Lin Tian expressionlessly high-fived his teammates one by one and sat back on the bench.
This time, he was even more powerless than the last time he faced the Spurs.
Because Lin Tianzhen felt clearly that James hadn't even exerted his strength yet.
In fact, the Lakers' current bunch of players don't seem to need James' efforts!
They are still far away from being a strong team.
Changes to the team lineup are imminent!
Compared to Lin Tian, Kobe, who usually had a gloomy face when losing, seemed to be a different person today.
He gently patted Lin Tian's shoulder and comforted: "Lin! We can't get victory and applause every night. Sometimes, we have to accept failure. To think about it differently, they are the Cavaliers.
!A championship-level team.”
Kobe's words made Lin Tian feel a little better, and he nodded solemnly.
The next time passed very quickly.
When the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 118:100.
The Lakers eventually lost the game with an 18-point deficit. Lin Tiantian scored 48 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
In the game between Kobe and James, including today's game, Kobe's winning rate is even lower.
Although he was very discouraged, Kobe and Lin Tian stood up and hugged James and others.
When James and Kobe hugged, the two talked for a long time, and James also mentioned Lin Tian: "Kobe, congratulations."
Kobe smiled knowingly, of course he knew the meaning of James' words.
When Lin Tian hugged James, James also said: "Young man, remember to follow me on Twitter."
Lin Tian nodded. He had long known that James was a social butterfly.
And James has the largest number of Twitter followers among all players in the NBA.
Almost the entire audience at Staples was already leaving.
In the seats next to the technical stage, Stallone and his daughters had also stood up.
Sistine is also in a bad mood now. Although she doesn't care so much about winning this game, she can't help but feel distressed when she sees Lin Tian's disappointed eyes.
I originally wanted to take a group photo together after the game, but now I'm not in the mood anymore.
What disappoints Sistine the most is that Lin Tian has never looked at this side since he returned to the bench.
When Lin Tian dunked on James before, he had looked at her for two seconds...
Sophia didn't know what her sister was thinking. She took Sistine's hand and walked to the VIP channel: "Sistine! It's time for us to go home."
After Lin Tian finished hugging the Cavaliers players, he walked from the player tunnel to the locker room.
Lakers general manager Kupchak stood in the tunnel, applauding and encouraging the passing players one by one.
When Lin Tian walked to Kupchak's side, he ignored Kupchak's raised hand.
This scene was captured by many photographers at the scene. Kupchak couldn't shake hands, and his old face looked slightly embarrassed.
Penguin Sports Live Room.
Although the game has ended today, the popularity in the live broadcast room remains high.
"Alas! Even though I knew I would lose, it's still hard to see the Hu people lose."
"Lin Tian scored 48 points in this game! It's not easy!"
"The Cavaliers are the favorites to win the championship. You really don't think the Lakers can win, do you?"
"Anyway, Lin Tian's consecutive 40-plus games are saved!"
