For the Lakers, Lin Tian is not in a hurry.

This time facing Otto Porter, he did not choose to fight from behind, but used a cross change to pass the opponent.

Gortat and Dudley failed to cover up in time, and in the end they could only watch Lin Tian succeed in a layup.

In the studio, both Barkley and Smith were not surprised to see Lin Tian easily score two points again.

Smith said bluntly: "I think Wizards coach Randy needs to change his strategy of defending Lin Tian."

Barkley also nodded: "Their No. 3 overall pick couldn't guard against Lin!"

The conversation between the two was not heard by the players and coaches at the Staples Center.

However, in the Lakers' next offensive round, the Wizards did change someone to defend Lin Tian, ​​and that was Dudley.

Dudley is 31 years old. He is not as tall as Otto Porter, but he weighs more than Lin Tian.

The relatively large tonnage prevents him from suffering any disadvantages in confrontation, but the speed inevitably drops.

His mental attributes are very high in the Wizards, and he is a person who is always willing to stand up for his teammates.

Whenever there is a conflict between Wall and his opponent, Dudley will always stand up immediately.

And Dudley's three-point shooting ability is also remarkable.

As soon as Dudley met Lin Tian, ​​he couldn't help but talk trash: "Rookie, I would like to advise you, don't try to break through me, otherwise you will lose..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Tian rushed out in a swish.

The speed of this first step was not weaker than that of Wall just now!

Although the two players inside the Wizards were well prepared, they still failed to stop Lin Tian who rushed into the paint. Lin Tian completed the scoring with a dunk.

Dudley's mouth was still open at this time. He glared at Lin Tian who was about to return to defense: "I have never seen such an ungrateful rookie!"

At least let him finish what he said! He has never encountered such a player who has no martial ethics.

Lin Tian grinned at Dudley: "Sorry, I don't have time to hear what you have to say."

Kobe Bryant, who was next to him, happened to witness the whole process. He, who was always serious, couldn't help but laugh and bent over.

The audience at the scene did not know what they said, and they were all confused:

"Why is Kobe so happy today? This is completely unlike him!"

"Asking Dudley, who moves so slowly, to defend Lin, isn't this just giving Lin Tian a chance to score?"

"Lin! Well done! Destroy the Wizards' defense for me! Tell them whose home court this is!"

"Lin is the All-Star MVP! What can the Wizards do to stop his offense?"

…

After Lin Tian beat Dudley once, he scored a few more goals.

Dudley's speed was almost crushed by Lin Tian! When passing him, Lin Tian didn't even need to change direction.

In comparison, the previous Otto Porter's defensive effect may be better.

If this doesn't work and that doesn't work, Wizards head coach Randy Whitman is decisive and directly chooses to have two strikers double-team Lin Tian.

The Wizards' double-teaming slightly restricted Lin Tian's offense, but it gave other Lakers players more opportunities to take action.

After the Wizards scored a few smooth goals at the beginning, their subsequent scoring efficiency also decreased.

The last two minutes of the first quarter were Lin Tian's regular rest time. Having already scored 13 points, he sat on the bench and watched the game quite comfortably.

Kobe was sitting next to Lin Tian, ​​and his expression had become a little more serious.

At this time, the score between the two sides was 24:18, and the Lakers led by six points. If you only looked at the expression on Kobe's face, it would be difficult to imagine that the Lakers were leading.

Lin Tian also caught a glimpse of Kobe's serious expression from the corner of his eye. He was already used to Kobe's coldness.

Although the two of them are off the court, Tucker and Howard are still on the court.

Without Lin Tian's organization, the Lakers played in a bit of a mess. Basically, whoever got the ball played in isolation. Kobe was obviously a little dissatisfied because of this.

The main ball handler on the field right now is Marcelo Huertas.

As a marginal figure on the team, Huertas did not dare to play in isolation. After dribbling the ball past half court, he would often give the ball to Nick Young.

Nick Young's most accustomed style of play is to dribble the ball for a while and then take action.

Today, Nick Young seemed to be obsessed with dribbling again, but his touch was not good today. After he missed two consecutive three-pointers, Kobe Bryant said in a deep voice off the court: "Nick, has he forgotten you and his...

Is there a bet?"

Nick Young once promised Lin Tian that he would get at least 1 assist in every game.

Lin Tian didn't take it seriously: "Nick has just debuted. He needs the ball to find his own touch. I also believe he will not forget to pass the ball."

Just as he was talking, Nick Young actually completed a very rare steal. Everyone thought he was going to complete a one-stop attack. Who knew that he stayed calm at the critical moment and actually passed the ball to Chan Ning who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

Frye.

Channing Frye caught the ball and shot, hitting a three-pointer with his hand, and Nick Young got the first assist.

Kobe's face looked better.

After the first quarter, the Lakers still led by five points.

After the start of the second quarter, Howard and Tucker took a break, leaving Nance Jr. and Channing Frye to guard the inside.

The Wizards also added a large number of substitute players.

There are several players whose names Lin Tian doesn't even know.

However, the Wizards' substitutes cherished the opportunity to play and played very hard as soon as they came on the court, catching the Lakers by surprise.

The Lakers currently on the court are the players who are most vulnerable to defense.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of several Wizards substitutes, the score was overtaken in less than a minute.

Scott knew something was wrong and hurriedly asked Lin Tian to return to the court.

Lin Tian stood on the court, like a needle anchoring the sea, and the fans breathed a sigh of relief.

He did not disappoint the fans. Once he returned to the court, he used his strong defense to teach the Wizards how to behave.

And when Lin Tian was holding the ball, the Wizards' two substitutes couldn't hold him down!

After a while, Bill and Wall returned to the court.

Lin Tian stopped playing tricks with them! After Wall held the ball for half a circle, he made a gesture to Clarkson. Clarkson immediately understood and gave Lin Tian the arduous task of defending Wall.

At the same time, he himself breathed a sigh of relief. He really couldn't guard Wall.

When Wall saw that the Lakers had changed players to defend him, he was surprised and said: "Oh? Rookie! Are you coming to defend me?"

Lin Tian lifted his trouser legs: "Let me try it."

Wall grinned: "Haha! Great! I'm just waiting for you to guard me. I'll show you what point guard speed is!"

As he spoke, Wall took two steps back in preparation for speeding up.
Chapter completed!
