More importantly, team boss Durant has never made any statement on the contract extension, which is the biggest hidden danger.

In the official NBA studio, Barkley faced the camera and kept sighing: "It's unbelievable! The Lakers actually dragged the game to the tiebreaker!"

Smith also grinned: "They say the most beautiful word is tiebreaker! The most exciting game in the playoffs so far is about to begin!"

Xiaoxue, who was far away in Los Angeles, also opened her laptop early and watched this most popular game through live broadcast.

On her table, there are also various fruits and snacks.

Lan Lan also stayed at Xiaoxue's house today. Now she has transformed into a Nick Yang fan and won't even miss the players' warm-up shots.

"Xiaoxue, do you think the Lakers can win today?"

"I don't know." Xiaoxue bit her lip, her eyes always staring at Lin Tian who was warming up in the camera, "But I know Lin Tian will go all out."

"If the Lakers lose, wouldn't you be able to take an early vacation?"

"Then I'd rather work overtime all the time."

"Tsk! I didn't expect you to be so infatuated with Lin Tian! It's a pity that Lin Tian doesn't know."

"What are you talking nonsense about, you damn girl? Who is infatuated? Ah!" Xiaoxue said, stretching out a pair of jade hands to gently pinch Lan Lan's neck.

"Help! Someone is trying to murder my bestie!"

…

Penguin Sports Live Room.

A tiebreaker between any team will never be less popular, not to mention this is the Lakers' tiebreaker.

The popularity of the live broadcast room has reached an unprecedented 60 million!

Almost every second, hundreds of viewers send gifts.

The screen refresh speed of the barrage is far faster than any usual live broadcast.

Countless Kobe fans and haters fell in love and killed each other in the live broadcast room.

"I don't want this to be Kobe's farewell game! We must win!"

"Whether the Thunder can win tonight depends on Kobe Bryant's efforts!"

"The Thunder's defense is so strong, I can see Kobe Bryant doing three irons again tonight!"

"You damn dark volutes! I'll trap you monkeys!"

"I like both teams very much! As a fan, I just hope to see a wonderful tiebreaker tonight!"

"I'm a KD fan, but tonight I'm betting on the Lakers!"

"The Lakers defeated the Thunder! Durant joined the Lakers in the off-season! Brothers! What do I think?"

…

In the bustling PizzaChek Energy Arena, even if Lin Tian wants to communicate with his teammates, he still needs to shout loudly.

He actually enjoys the atmosphere of the away game.

Soon, the lights in the arena went out one after another, and the on-site DJ began to introduce the away starting players, which was Lin Tian and the others.

Then the five starters of the Thunder were introduced, and the DJ and the audience were obviously more enthusiastic.

In this life-and-death battle, the starting lineups of both sides remained unchanged from the previous game.

After the referee blew the whistle, Lin Tian lifted his legs back, rubbed the soles of his shoes with his palms, and strolled toward the center circle to prepare for a jump ball.

The Thunder players also looked solemn, especially Westbrook.

After ten players from both sides stand at the positions designated by the referee, the jump ball begins!

Howard's timing to take off was better than Adams's, and he flicked the ball into Lin Tian's hands.

Lin Tian held the ball and was about to play singles. Durant and Robertson both came over with open arms! Still double-teamed!

Lin Tian gritted his teeth and quickly distributed the ball to Kobe on the wing.

Kobe received the ball, looked firmly at the basket, and made his signature shooting motion.

Whoosh! The ball hit the net!

Wow...

In the corner of the arena, a group of Lakers fans wearing purple and gold jerseys stood up and cheered excitedly.

The first score of the game was completed by Kobe.

After the shot was made, Kobe Bryant glared at Andre Robertson: "Young man! I didn't get the respect a veteran should have from you! I'll make you pay the price!"

In the past few games, the Thunder did not hesitate to let go of Kobe Bryant in order to double-team Lin Tian.

If this was during Kobe's prime, it would be unimaginable.

It's just that Kobe's performance was average and the competition in the playoffs was fierce, so his threat was not that great.

In this game, Kobe just wanted the Thunder to pay the price for their double-teaming.

Robertson lowered his head and said nothing, but quickly returned to the Thunder's frontcourt.

After Lin Tian came back, he did not follow Durant, but stood on the weak side and got stuck in hand-to-hand combat with Yin Baka.

He is not as tall as Yin Baka, and his weight is much lighter than Yin Baka, but he did not suffer much in the confrontation with Yin Baka.

When the Lakers put up this formation, it means they have to try to defend the inside.

Westbrook dribbled the ball for a while and handed the ball to Durant.

PJ Tucker clapped his hands, showing that he had no place to vent all his strength.

Facing Tucker, Durant crossed and dribbled, and after a feint, he held the ball and went inside.

Tucker was not shaken off and closely followed Durant's footsteps.

When Lin Tian saw this, he secretly exclaimed that something was not good. Although Tucker did not lose his position, he was rushed by Durant and it was difficult to stop him!

He immediately took two steps forward and put on defensive moves to help defend. As for Yin Baka, even if Durant passes the ball to him, Lin Tian is not afraid. He is confident in his speed.

After all, Durant still didn't rush into the paint! He directly stopped for a jumper more than one meter away from the three-second zone.

Although the height of his take-off was not high, Tucker could not interfere with Durant!

This is a very comfortable shooting area for Durant. When shooting from this place, his shooting rate can reach more than 60%!

Whoosh!

The ball fell into the basket without much surprise, and the Thunder also scored two points.

Thunder fans were excited! The on-site commentator even said bluntly: "KD stepped up! It can be seen that his desire to attack today is very strong!"

After Lin Tian came back with the ball, Robertson did not dare to blindly rush over to double-team Lin Tian after learning the lesson just now.

After all, Kobe's three-point threat is still quite big.

Durant stared intently at Lin Tian's every move, and he was ready to steal at any time.

Inside, Howard and Adams are still blocking each other.

Lin Tian resisted Durant's defense and rushed inside with the ball at extremely high speed.

Yin Baka and Adams immediately blocked the basket, forming an extremely solid defense line inside.

Even Westbrook quickly approached the penalty area when Lin Tian broke through, preparing to grab rebounds.

The Thunder's big men are intimidating, but Lin Tian is not afraid.

After jumping into the air, he did not choose to force a shot, but suddenly passed the ball to Nick Young on the wing.

Westbrook, who was originally responsible for guarding Nick Young, had already come near the inside, leaving Nick Young in a wide open space.

After catching the ball, he adjusted the angle slightly and threw the ball!

The basketball hit the backboard first, and then bounced into the frame!

The ball went in and the Lakers led by four points.

Nick Young gave Lin Tian a thumbs up, indicating that it was a second pass.

Durant shook his head, he was very dissatisfied with the team's defense.

In other words, he was quite dissatisfied with Westbrook's defense.

This scene happened to be captured by the live broadcast camera on the sidelines.

Barkley in the studio couldn't help laughing: "Judging from KD's body language, he is very dissatisfied with Westbrook's defense!"

Smith also nodded: "Westbrook's defensive habits are so bad! He always inexplicably forgets to keep an eye on his defender.

But Barkley said seriously: "Hey hey hey! Man! This is not inexplicable! Westbrook is obviously rushing to grab the rebound!"

"He is just waiting for Lin to shoot. If he misses, he will be lucky enough to grab a rebound. This season, he averages a lot of rebounds per game, close to 8! Almost the same as KD!"

"The Thunder have the most rebounds in the league this season! By the way! I have to ask you a question! Who has the most rebounds per game in the Thunder this season?"

"Man! Of course it's Adams who asked me such a simple question."
