He is indeed the player who is said to be the best at guarding James! Iguodala's lateral movement is extremely fast and his defensive area is also very large.

The most important thing is that his defense is very clean and Lin Tian no longer has to tie his hands.

Facing Iguodala, Lin Tian used more of Anthony's singles ability at his peak.

He showed Iguodala his 360-degree shot with no blind spots!

Before the Splash Brothers returned to the court, Lin Tian brought several substitutes to close the gap.

Curry and Thompson returned to the court, but Iguodala did not go down to rest.

He wiped the sweat on his head with his jersey: "Damn it! Are all the rookies today so talented? I don't believe you can beat me a few more times!"

In the next Lakers offensive round, Iguodala increased his defensive intensity.

But facing Lin Tian, ​​he was still a little helpless.

With 3 minutes left in the second quarter, Iguodala was out of breath. At Cole's signal, he returned to the bench to rest.

Cole walked up to him and asked: "Andre, what's going on? When we played in the Finals with the Cavaliers last year, you weren't even that tired of guarding James."

Iguodala took the towel handed by the caddy and said helplessly: "Coach, if I told you that this guy is harder to guard than James, would you believe it?"

Cole pouted: "To be honest, I didn't believe it before today's game started, but now, I believe it."

NBA head coaches may only have a slightly worse viewing angle than referees.

Every breakthrough, shot and defense Lin Tian made just now was seen by Cole on the sidelines.

He knew that Iguodala was already trying his best to defend, but he just couldn't guard against that rookie with great offensive talent!

Iguodala continued: "If you say he looks like LeBron, he does look like him in some places, but he is very different in some places!"

"His dribbling skills and shooting are better than LeBron! When I guard LeBron, I can also judge the direction of LeBron's breakthrough, but guarding this guy, even if I know which way he is going to break through, sometimes it is difficult to keep up.

!”

Iguodala gave Lin Tian a very high evaluation, and Cole was not surprised by this.

Bogut, who was sitting next to Iguodala, curled his lips: "Just a rookie! Don't worry about it! They are still fighting for the playoffs this season."

Cole corrected Bogut: "We cannot underestimate any opponent! Otherwise we will pay a heavy price!"

While they were chatting, Thompson scored another three-pointer on the court, and Cole nodded happily.

After the second quarter, the Lakers were three points behind.

Lin Tian scored the highest score in the half with 25 points.

The Splash Brothers scored a total of 30 points, which was average for them, but their three-point shooting percentage was very high.

Curry made 3 of 6 three-pointers in the first half, and Thompson made 4 of 6 three-pointers.

Both of their three-point shooting percentages exceeded 50%! This is higher than their average three-point shooting percentage this season.

The most important reason for this is that the Lakers' back line defense is too stretched.

Whether it was Russell, Nick Young or Clarkson, the three of them were almost completely trained by the Splash Brothers in the first half.

Moreover, the off-ball defense of several players was very poor, and they were beaten around by Cole's offensive system.

Lin Tian, ​​as the offensive and defensive core of the Lakers, did not directly confront the two of them, because Barnes is not a vegetarian. If he lets go of Barnes, they will definitely pay a heavy price for it.

The popularity of the live broadcast has reached 23 million at this time! It even broke the viewing record of the last time the Lakers played the Cavaliers.

As today's host, Wang Mang said bluntly after watching half of the game: "Lin Tian is still strong! The Warriors can't guard him in every round of battle!"

Yang Yi next to him also agreed with this: "Yeah! At first it was Barnes, then Green, and then Iguodala, who is experienced in defense! Cole used the same moves against James.

Lin Tian’s body, but they just can’t guard against it! To put it bluntly, they have nothing to do with Lin Tian!”

"I thought Lin Tian would be very passive when facing the Warriors' unlimited defense strategy today, but I didn't expect that he still despised him!"

"But having said that, the Warriors mainly adopt a single defense strategy to deal with Lin Tian. It can be seen that they are still holding back."

"Overall, the Lakers' performance in the first half today was very satisfactory! The game was not wasted, and the second half was even more exciting!"

"Yes! I hope the suspense of today's game can be maintained until the second half of the fourth quarter!

"Okay! Next, we welcome Coach Yang to analyze for us some exciting offensive rounds in the first half."
