Chapter 141 Lin Tian was covered for the first time in his career
Today, DeRozan wears a pair of zoom kobe6.
He and Kobe kept whispering, sometimes smiling, and Lin Tian who was watching from the side was also quite emotional.
DeRozan is from Los Angeles, and he is also a big fan of Kobe Bryant.
But Kobe probably doesn’t know now that DeRozan suffers from depression.
In other words, no one in the entire NBA knows about this matter because DeRozan hasn't made it public yet.
In Lin Tian's previous life, DeRozan seemed to have not disclosed that he suffered from depression until 2018.
While the two of them were chatting, Lin Tian said hello to Lori, one of the "Trash Brothers", and then Luis Scola, who had long hair, came over.
Although the two had never met before, Lin Tian quickly greeted him: "Hey! Hello! Scola!"
Scola also smiled and hugged Lin Tian: "Hello Lin, that's great! There is a player in China who is more terrifying than Yao."
He has been a teammate of the Rockets and Dayao for several seasons, and with his flowing long hair, he is very well-known in China.
Almost all fans who have watched Dayao's games know Scola.
Moreover, Scola and Dayao were actually born in the same year.
Since leaving the Rockets in 2012, Scola has bounced around several teams.
He is 36 years old this year, but he still serves as the starting forward for the Raptors and is highly trusted by coach Casey.
Perhaps because of Dayao, Lin Tian felt very friendly when he saw Scola in a foreign country, and the two chatted for a long time.
This scene was also captured by the courtside camera.
Penguin Sports Live Room.
"Why did Lin Tian chat with that long-haired player for so long? Who was that? Are they familiar?"
"You don't even know Scola? He's obviously not an old fan, nor a Dayao fan!"
"I'll go! Isn't that Scola? Lin Tian seems to have a good chat with him! They have known each other for a long time?"
"Scola's hair style is still as handsome as ever!"
"I feel like the Lakers are on the ropes today! The Raptors have always been very strong in the regular season!"
"It is indeed difficult for the Lakers to win. The Raptors are the second-ranked team in the Eastern Conference, and their record is only slightly worse than the Cavaliers."
…
After the players from the Lakers and Raptors greeted each other, the game began.
The Raptors' starting lineup today is: Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, DeMarre Carroll, Luis Scola and Biyombo.
The Lakers' starting lineup remains unchanged from the previous game: Russell, Kobe, Lin Tian, Frye, and Howard.
The two sides took positions on both sides of the center circle. After the jump ball, the Raptors took the lead in gaining the ball.
Lin Tian was mainly tracking Carroll today, a player who once won the best player of the month.
Only he, Lowry and DeRozan have received this honor in the entire Raptors team.
Carroll, like Scola, also had long hair, but he tied it up, not disheveled like Scola.
Lin Tian discovered that almost every player in the NBA is extremely concerned about his or her hairstyle.
Even some players who basically cut off all their hair have to comb their hair with a comb every time before taking the field, such as James.
Turning his attention to Carroll again, Lin Tian knew that Carroll was a player with distinctive characteristics, poor in independent offensive ability and strong in defense.
Defending a player like this is really overkill for Lin Tian now.
In this game, I must put more experience into assisting defense and supplementary defense.
Kyle Lowry is indeed a little steel cannon. The first ball passed Russell very easily, went inside and scored the ball.
Even though Lowry is only 183 centimeters tall, his extremely fast speed and excellent playing rhythm make it impossible for Russell to keep up with him.
It is conceivable that facing Lowry, Russell will be extremely uncomfortable today.
Howard passed the ball to Lin Tian from outside the baseline, and then quickly ran to the Lakers' frontcourt.
When Lin Tianchi crossed the half court, Carroll opened his arms to greet him.
After dribbling the ball for a while, Kobe rushed over to play a pick-and-roll for Lin Tian.
Through Kobe's pick-and-roll, the Raptors switched defense, with DeRozan guarding Lin Tian.
After Lin Tian accelerated, he turned his back to DeRozan and played inside without delay.
How can DeRozan, who is 2.01 meters and 100 kilograms, withstand Lin Tian's back attack?
Scola and Carroll were also confused. Limited by the three-point threat of Kobe Bryant and Channing Frye, they didn't know whether to double-team Lin Tian.
When Lin Tian pushed DeRozan into the paint, Raptors center Biyombo also came over to help defend.
Facing the defense of the two men, Lin Tian directly made a fadeaway jumper.
DeRozan and Biyombo both jumped to block the shot.
Lin Tian is extremely confident in his fadeaway jump shot. Let alone the fadeaway jumper, even if it is an ordinary shot, he has never been blocked since entering the NBA.
But this time, he miscalculated!
The moment the basketball was thrown, Lin Tian knew that the angle was a little short!
Biyombo's bounce is much better than he thought! This player from Africa, after taking off, slapped him hard with his right hand!
Lin Tian was stunned by his long arms!
Under the spotlight, the basketball was actually shot out of the sideline by him!
After Lin Tian entered the NBA, he had his first shot blocked!
Wow~~
The entire arena was filled with unbelievable exclamations! Immediately afterwards, waves of cheers came one after another!
The Raptors' home DJ was also shocked and said: "Oh...my god! Biyombo completed the block on Lin! So cool! He gave the Lakers rookie a sap! When this guy jumped up, I
I feel like he can even pick off the stars in the sky!"
After completing this exaggerated block, Biyombo walked up to Lin Tian and grinned: "Rookie, is this all you have? Use all your strength!"
Since joining the Lakers, this is the first time Lin Tian has heard his opponent say this to him.
He never dreamed that the person who blocked his shot for the first time was not shot-blocking leader Whiteside, DeAndre Jordan, or Kawhi Leonard, but a little-known role player from the Raptors.
Lin Tianping calmed down his mood: "It's just a block. Don't take yourself too seriously."
Not only is Biyombo's jumping exaggerated, his wingspan is actually even more exaggerated.
According to data records, this guy's wingspan is 26 centimeters longer than his height! Even Leonard's wingspan is at the level of his younger brother.
He is one of the players with the longest wingspan in the NBA.
And every time he plays against the Cavaliers, Biyombo can cause a lot of trouble for James, and he can be called James's tormentor.
This season is Biyombo's contract year, and if nothing else goes wrong, he will sign the biggest contract of his career this summer!
The reason for this has a lot to do with his outstanding performance in defending James this season.
Today's block is probably enough to make him famous in a short time. After all, this is the first time Lin Tian has been blocked.
Chapter completed!
