After all, he is also a player who has experienced the baptism of the playoffs. Although his statistics are not very good, he has a big heart that many players do not have.

After the Lakers served, Lin Tian faced Durant and finally made his first three-pointer in the playoffs.

This three-pointer also temporarily stopped the bleeding of the Lakers, and the score became 10:3.

But the Thunder then adopted a lot of horn tactics, with Westbrook controlling the overall situation with the ball, making their offense very effective.

Nick Young can't guard Westbrook after all.

On the other hand, for the Lakers, Lin Tian handles the offense.

As soon as he got the ball, the Thunder team's double-teaming began.

Compared with the time when he first entered the NBA, Lin Tian's passing ability has actually improved.

However, Tucker and Kobe both had poor touch today, and when Lin Tian stood up, it was difficult to give the ball to Howard.

Because when he was double-teamed, Howard was often standing under the basket, which was blocked by several opposing players, and he couldn't pass the ball at all!

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by a full 14 points.

Kobe only scored 3 points on 1-of-4 shooting in the first quarter.

This is mainly because the Thunder's Robertson defended so well that he didn't give Kobe a chance to catch the ball at all.

It is also impossible for Kobe to have unlimited shooting rights like the last game, because that will definitely hurt the team.

Except for Lin Tian, ​​the highest scorer for the entire Lakers team is the seemingly mediocre Nick Young.

When he played alone against Westbrook, the effect was quite good.

When the second quarter started, Lin Tian and Kobe took a short break on the bench.

Both sides have made a lot of substitutions at this time, but the Lakers' Howard is still on the court, while the Thunder has arranged for Yin Baka to play center.

When Lin Tian saw Howard being beaten hard by Yin Baka, he couldn't help but lament that things are different.

Although Yin Baka's shot-blocking ability is top-notch, he is facing a Warcraft!

How could Warcraft at its peak suffer such injustice?

To make matters worse, the Thunder's main rotation player Dion Waiters also stepped forward.

This former outcast of the Cavaliers seems to have gradually found his position in the Thunder, which is to take over the game when the Thunder twins are resting.

On the Lakers side, except for Howard, the several substitute players who have just appeared are simply sleepwalking.

Lin Tian only rested for less than a minute, and the score had already been opened by a full twenty points!

Compared with the regular season, the Thunder are like a different team.

Compared with the regular season, the Lakers also seem to be a different team, but they seem to be much weaker.

At Scott's signal, Lin Tian quickly returned to the court.

No surprise, what greeted Lin Tian was double-teaming!

As the defensive intensity increases, the referee's whistleblower standards have also become significantly looser.

In the past, a foul call was always called, but today it was ignored by the referee.

Lin Tian received unprecedentedly high treatment from the Thunder!

Durant, who did not work so hard on the defensive end in the regular season, also maximized his single defense and assist defense capabilities in order to restrict Lin Tian.

His teammates couldn't give Lin Tian much help, so Lin Tian could only choose to play singles again and again.

His physical strength was consumed at an extremely fast rate, and his scoring efficiency also seriously declined.

Even shots that were 80 to 90% sure in the past were frequently missed today!

The Thunder's defense made Lin Tian truly feel what the intensity of the playoffs is!

Lin Tian was actually restrained!

But the Thunder have blossomed more. In addition to Westbrook, Yin Baka's offensive desire is also extremely strong today.

For the Lakers, Tucker's height cannot guard against Yin Baka, and Qian Ningfu's confrontation is not as good as Yin Baka's.

Lin Tian thought he could guard Yin Baka, but it was already difficult for him to keep an eye on Durant, so he had no energy left to deal with Yin Baka.

After the first half, the Lakers had been trailed by the Thunder by a full 28 points! This was beyond everyone's imagination.

As they walked from the players' tunnel to the locker room, the home team fans in the stands on both sides of the tunnel taunted them wildly:

"Hey! Go home quickly! Hahahaha!"

"Kobe! You are not fit to play in the NBA! Stop harming your team!"

"Didn't I score sixty-seven points three days ago? What's wrong with this?"

"Oh oh oh! The Lakers are so miserable! They are 28 points behind at halftime! How can we watch the second half? Can we leave the game early?"

"The rookie of the Lakers! How come they become so soft as soon as they enter the playoffs? Our defense makes you uncomfortable! Haha!"

…

Lin Tian clenched his fists after hearing those mocking words, and he returned to the locker room silently.

The locker room was very quiet at this time, with only the heavy breathing of the players and the sound of Kobe putting ice packs on his legs.

Falling behind by 28 points at halftime is something that no team can accept.

With such a score, it can almost be declared that the game is over early.

After all, it is even more difficult to come back from a 28-point deficit.

Nance Jr. and Clarkson both sat in their chairs with their heads lowered and said nothing.

The performance of their rookies in the first half was simply a disaster.

Their defense was outnumbered and their offense couldn't score a single goal. This is their current situation.

Although the Lakers were lagging behind by a big score, Scott still applauded to encourage the players and started feeding them chicken soup.

…

On the other side of the ocean, in China, today’s game was also watched by countless Chinese fans through the broadcast.

The popularity of the Penguin Sports live broadcast room has exceeded 45 million, which is close to Kobe Bryant's 67-point night a few days ago.

"What the hell did the Lakers play in the first half? Is this the playoffs!"

"This is the game where Lin Tian struggled the most since I watched him play!"

"Lin Tian finally hit the rookie wall in the playoffs!"
Chapter completed!
