This time, Green's eyes and brain responded, but his body could not.

Green tried to keep up with Lin Tian's rhythm, but because his body lost its center of gravity and could no longer maintain balance, he sat straight on the wooden floor!

Wow!

After a brief exclamation, the stadium was filled with deafening applause and cheers.

Kobe, who was wearing a suit and always had a stern face, also stood up from the bench and applauded Lin Tian's wonderful personal performance.

The Lakers DJ even exclaimed: "Oh! My God! This season's best defensive player nominee was knocked down by Lin Huang!"

Even if he knocked Green down, Lin Tian rushed into the paint and hit Bogut for a layup!

Green suddenly jumped up from the ground. He faced the ridicule of Howard, Nick Young and others.

Being knocked down is more humiliating than being dunked, not to mention that Green is one of the strongest defensive players in the league.

When Lin Tian passed by Green, he didn't forget to ask: "Is this what a player who has entered the first team of the All-Defensive Team can do?"

Green gritted his teeth. As the king of trash talk, he couldn't find anything to refute for a while.

The atmosphere at the scene was completely lifted by Green being shaken.

"Hahaha! I have watched football for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen Dream Chasing being so humiliated! Lin is so strong!"

"When I saw Zhui Meng being shaken, I actually felt refreshed. This guy loves to talk too much! Let Lin teach him a lesson today!"

"Lin's breakthrough speed is the fastest in the league! It's normal that Green can't keep up with him, but he was knocked down. It's outrageous!"

"We must bite the score! We must not let the Splash Brothers' shooting completely open! We must end the Warriors' winning streak tonight!"

…

The Warriors have the ball and the basketball is in Green's hands.

Just now he was intercepted and knocked down by Lin Tian. After Green suffered a big loss, he no longer dared to look down on the Chinese boy in front of him.

As an organizational forward, when he saw Lin Tian walking toward him with open arms, he didn't even dare to dribble for fear of being snatched away by the opponent.

Lin Tian also knows that trying to steal from the opponent is not an easy task, and he might even lose his position if he fails.

Therefore, he mainly focuses on defending the opponent's offense.

The Splash Brothers are running tirelessly.

The running distance of the two of them in each game is among the best among hundreds of players in the league.

Although Russell and Nick Young are trying their best to defend, their speed and defensive awareness are still far behind.

Curry ran out of a short open opportunity, and Green passed the ball instantly.

After receiving the ball, Curry raised his hand and shot.

While the basketball was still flying in the air, Klay Thompson had already raised his right hand, making a three-pointer gesture, and ran towards the Lakers' frontcourt.

Whoosh!

Sure enough! The three-pointer was scored!

Lin Tian sighed, is Thompson so confident in Curry's three-point shot?

The Lakers had just started to gain momentum, but they were extinguished by Curry's three-pointer.

Lin Tian received a pass from Howard and walked across half court, when Green came over with a fierce look on his face.

He doesn't talk trash anymore, but his defense is obviously more focused than before.

Lin Tian was preparing to continue to play Green alone, but Howard reached for the ball inside.

He didn't hesitate and quickly passed the ball to Howard.

Howard hit Bogut on the back and succeeded! He also caused a defensive foul on Bogut.

After the attack was successful, Howard glared at Bogut fiercely and showed off the biceps of his right arm.

Bogut is not to be outdone when it comes to talking heads, and keeps mumbling something.

Howard and Bogut are both centers and both were No. 1 picks. Howard was the No. 1 pick in 2004 and Bogut was the No. 1 pick in 2005.

So far in their careers, the achievements of their careers are worlds apart.

Howard has numerous personal honors, but Bogut is most famous for his dirty moves.

In fact, they have had conflicts on the court before.

Because Bogut loves to use dirty moves, when Howard was still with the Rockets last year, he even elbowed Bogut.

In this competition, the two of them have to avenge their old and new grudges together.

When Howard took a free throw, his shot was obviously a little harder. The basketball landed on the frame and bounced back, and Green grabbed it.

After the two teams fought for a few more rounds, Lin Tian and Howard returned to the bench to rest under Scott's arrangement.

At this time, the Lakers were only three points behind the Warriors.

When the substitutes came on, I didn't know if they could hold on to the score. Lin Tian didn't think he could overtake the score with the substitutes.

The Warriors' Bogut and Thompson also took a rest, and they were replaced by Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston!

Although these two people are substitutes, what is certain is that they are strong enough to serve as starters for any team!

Iguodala, the ninth overall pick in 2004, has been selected to the All-Star team and was selected to the All-NBA team twice.

But compared to these honors, he also has an award that can be called the NBA's highest personal honor, and that is last season's FMVP!

NBA only produces one Finals MVP every year, which may be the most valuable honor!

Almost everyone who has won FMVP in the past is a superstar!

Iguodala may be the FMVP with the smallest position in the NBA in so many years!

The reason why he was able to steal the FMVP from Curry last season was largely because his extremely versatile defense limited James' performance.

You know, in last year's playoffs, he averaged no more than 10 points per game!

So when Xiao Hua announced the FMVP winner, a large number of fans were surprised.

It is such a player who works hard and serves as a substitute for the Warriors.

However, Iguodala is ostensibly a substitute, but actually plays more minutes than Bogut and Barnes. He is an extremely critical part of the top five.

In the closing stages or when the game enters an extremely critical time, it is absolutely impossible for Cole to put Iguodala on the bench.

Compared to Iguodala, Shaun Livingston may have a slightly smaller background, but he is definitely not an unknown person.

He entered the league in the same year as Iguodala and Howard, and was the fourth overall pick that year.

If it weren't for the broken leg incident, Livingston's achievements in his career would definitely be worthy of his status as the fourth overall pick.

Today, Livingston has found his own position with the Warriors and can safely serve as a substitute. Although his defense is not very strong, his mid-range shooting is accurate! Among all guards, his shooting percentage is top-notch!

More than 50%!

Livingston was also a major contributor to the Warriors' championship last year.

In addition to these two heroes, the Warriors' bench also includes Speights, Leandro Barbosa and other outstanding players.

Except for Livingston, these substitute players have extremely high three-point shooting percentages.

Lin Tian looked at the Warriors' bench and it was hard not to be envious.

In fact, I can’t envy this kind of thing.

The contract Curry of the Warriors previously signed was a child labor contract. The extremely cost-effective contract makes the Warriors’ salary structure extremely healthy this year.

No player on the team has a salary of more than 20 million this season.

The person with the highest salary is Thompson. His salary this season is 15 million, which is 10 million less than Kobe!

In addition to their good salary structure, the Warriors were originally the favorites to win the championship.

Out of the desire for a championship, some players are also willing to take a salary cut to join the Warriors, such as Speights.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers were already 8 points behind.

Lin Tian's end caused a devastating blow to the Lakers' defensive system, and their defense inevitably declined greatly.

During the break, Scott still emphasized the word defense.

In order to prevent the score difference from being further widened in the second quarter, Scott planned to send Lin Tian on the court in advance.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Splash Brothers were still not on the court.

The Warriors' current lineup is: Barbosa, Livingston, Iguodala, Speights and Dream Green.

Cole studied under Popovich, and his hiring characteristics are very similar to Popovich's.

For substitute players, he usually gives many opportunities to appear, so much so that more than 10 players often appear in Warriors games. In comparison, the Lakers' substitutes are stretched thin.

Lin Tian, ​​along with Russell and Clarkson, started a crazy pursuit of points!

The one guarding Lin Tian at this stage is Iguodala.

In the past, he had only watched Iguodala's games on TV. Only when he actually faced Iguodala did he truly feel the player's strong defensive ability!
To be continued...
